The Banewarrens

[Keia]

"Well, if that don't just beat all. Probably magic . . . " Titus trails off into grumbling. His grumbling becomes an incantation for Detect Evil. His initial arc will includ the Half-orc and as little else as possible.

 

[novyet]

"Damn, is that magic? What's going on here?" Iliar will try and find something that might smother the flames.

 

[Krug]

"Dark cloaked figure uh? Hmmm..." says Krug. He tries to shadow the person using his Hide skills to move in and out of the confused crowd.

Look innocu... innec... ino.. like people around you! thinks Krug to himself.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Verakka scans the nearby crowd. The most suspicious person is a elf dressed in noble finery, with a masterwork rapier at his waste. He stares into space, reacting to visions that only he can see.

Krug easily shadows the cloaked figure. The dark individual moves with an easy grace, stepping around onlookers with hardly a flicker in his cloak.

Grim sends his manifestation at the half-orc, but the warrior's frantic mind deflects the attack.

Iliar valiantly looks for something else to smother the flames, but no options present themselves.

Titus scans the half-orc and the surrounding crowd. No emanations of evil are evident.

The half-orc turns and begins approaching a bystander. "Help me! The spirit of my father.... it must want to hurt me for selling the battleaxe. Make it go stop!" The flames return at full-force, burning away the bedroll.

 

[Keia]

"Can't have him hurting anyone else . . ." Titus says. He mentally shrugs, thinking this would be so much easier if the half-orc were evil. "Let the divine breath that blows from on high remove the flames that burn from this poor soul."

Titus will cast Dispel Magic targeted on the half-orc. He will then move to intercept the half-orc (i.e. try to reduce the numberof bystanders he can approach).

 

[Krug]

Krug easily shadows the cloaked figure. The dark individual moves with an easy grace, stepping around onlookers with hardly a flicker in his cloak.

Krug continues to tail the figure, trying to get a look at the individual's face.

 

[novyet]

Realizing there is nothing nearby to smother the flames, Iliar will to get between the half-orc and anyone nearby, to prevent innocents from being hurt.

"Please calm down, everyone stand back! Please sir, calm down we're all trying to help you. Just stand still okay?"

 

[Uriel]

Verakka will keep an eye on the suspicious elf, trying to see if perhaps he is causing the fire.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Verakka is watching the strange elf when he screams in horror and pain and drops to his knees in the middle of the street.

Krug moves in closer and watches the cloaked figure's hood. As the figure turns right down another street Krug spots the midnight skin of a drow elf.

Iliar's attempts to reason with the half-orc are somewhat successful. He keeps the burning figure from approaching any more bystanders, although he suffers a small burn (1 damage).

Ultimately, the dispel magic cast by Titus does the trick. The flames disappear in a single breath, and show no signs of coming back.

 

[Uriel]

Verakka moves quickly to the side of the fallen Elf, although he keeps a few feet distance (not wanting to get scorched again, in case it is an epidemic of Spontaneous Combustion). Peering closer, Verakka looks for obvious wounds.
