The Banewarrens

[Kamard]

Grim moves in close, nearer to the half-orc. There is nothing he can do for anyone else, so he is going to keep his eye out for whatever was causing such chaos, if indeed it was not the half-orc.

 

[Keia]

Titus will move to aid one of the injured nearest to him - either the half-orc or one of those that he injured. He will convert his Bless to heal one of the injured.

"Well that was rather odd? Any idea how that happened?" Titus will ask to no one in particular.

 

[Kamard]

"Well that was rather odd? Any idea how that happened?"

Grim walks over to Titus, looks him straight in the eye, and speaks in a monotone.

"I know no specifics, but I can say it happened due to the sheer pride of this city. The decadence that surrounds us is amazing."

"I for one would like to know what magics allow one to burn without harming themselves, but wounding others like that half-orc did."

"And I intend to find out, and put an end to it if possible, by whatever means necessary."

Grim then wanders off back towards the half-orc, muttering someting about corrupt cities or somesuch.

 

[Krug]

Krug follows behind the drow, now alert. He shadows him further.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The half-orc sits down stiffly, uninjured from the flame.

Titus is able to help the injured swordswoman. She thanks him for the kind act of healing.

As Grim ponders the decadent city, no insight about the half-orc's strange affliction comes to him. However, the screaming elf on his knees nearby may be involved somehow.

Verakka nears the now-ranting figure (finding the area no warmer than usual). He starts calling out warnings to unseen people, "No! Not that door....Behind you!...The support beams were never replaced...".

Krug is smoothly following the drow, when the strangest thing occurs. A quiet-looking human commoner coming down the street the opposite direction looks in Krug's direction and bolts of blue lightning blast from his eyes. Krug leaps aside in time, but a woman behind him is not so lucky. Her skin chars and her limbs flail before she falls to the ground.

 

[Kamard]

I move over to the screaming elf, trying to make some sense of all this mess.

Can I see the commoner shoot the lightning bolts out his eyes? I presume I cannot.

 

[Keia]

"I think evil is more likely the cause," Titus said to Grim, "These innocents are being afflicted in some way, perhaps an evil cult or devil, although . . . I sense no evil nearby."

Titus will follow Grim to the kneeling elf and see what is the matter with him. He will also look around to see if there is anyone or anything causing these problems.

 

[Krug]

"By the toasted beard of Malegi, what magic be this?" Krug turns his attention to the lightning spitting commoner and will run for cover. He tries not to lose the dark elf in the confusion.

 

[Uriel]

Thinking that perhaps this MAdman knows something regarding all of this, Verakka will do his best to note anything that he says, kneeling next to him.
'Nottt thaat doorrr...hiss...sssuport beamsss...'
(Hmm, he thought, odd elf talking of mines and tunnels...strange place, this.)

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The three friends gather around the maddened elf. He continues to babble nonsense to nonexistent people and stare at nonexistent sites. Based on his knowledge of arcane matters, Titus suspects the elf might be experiencing some type of divination, only at painfully rapid speeds.

Krug dives to the ground as the commoner swings his gaze, blasting another two people with blue lightning. Everyone in the area begins running and screaming, obstructing his view, although he does see the drow turn right again.

The other members of the company are unable to see the commoner.
