Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[Rhun]

Lenuran decides that aiding Ithiken is in the best interest of all, and begins orating an epic poem in an attempt to inspire his companion.



Inspire Competence

 

[Voadam]

Miltiades will follow the Kid's lead in dealing with the horses. His everburning torch, Rao's Illumination, will provide light for the group's explorations.

Ithiken pulls out the magic scroll and begins to read, the words and patterns are difficult but he feels the strong magic within. Few seconds pass and tension is high.
Cracks begin to appear on the dwarf's statue, it seems that the poor dwarf is about to shatter to pieces, a hollow stone shell falls on the ground with a loud thud and beneath you see Korbryn flesh.
"Form up," shouts Korbryn, "let them come t' us!. The dwarf swings his greatsword, the sword cuts the air, the dwarfs blinks …

*you can continue from here Rhun

 

[Rhun]

Korbryn pulls up, his sword held in mid-swing, as he looks around and blinks. He eyes the day old corpses of the dead cockatrices, and turns to regard his companions with a confused look upon his face. "What in the Nine Hells 'appened?"

 

[stonegod]

The Kid shrugs. "You were a statue. The barmaid try to kill us. She's dead. You're not." He then looks back down the hall again.

 

[Voadam]

"The beasts turned you to stone. We finished them off but left to gather magic to restore you. As the Kid says though, we were ambushed by cult assassins at the inn last night before returning. The dragon has returned outside as well, though we avoided it on our way in. Our new elven friend was able to master the magics to restore you and here we are. Welcome back."

 

[DEFCON 1]

As the stone falls away and the skin of their dwarven companion Korbryn comes into view, Ithiken shouts for joy. "Yes! Woo hoo! It worked!" He starts doing a little jig and the group looks on as he dances and sings to himself in celebration. "Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Uh huh! That's got it! Oh yeah! Uh huh!"

When he looks up and sees the others looking at him, he stops dancing and his face goes a bit red. "Um... well. Uh... Korbryn, it's good to uh... have you back."

 

[Rhun]

The dwarf continues to look quite puzzled. He strokes his braided beard as he ponders for a moment. "Stone? What? Bah! Yer all crazy."

 

[DEFCON 1]

Ithiken says nothing to Korbryn, but rather just points to the pile of rock at the dwarf's feet... some of which still have the unmistakeable look of the dwarf. He then grins once, still happy with himself for pulling the spell off.

"Well now that we're one big happy family again... what's next? Finish exploring the tunnels here? Or we going to go off to look for those mustard-colored priests that the guys back in town needed us to do?"

 

[Rhun]

Even after looking at the remnants of the stone at his feet, poor Korbryn is still confused. "Mustard priests? What?"
