The Banewarrens

[Krug]

With no choice, Krug shoots at the commoner with his repeating crossbow, flattening himself on the ground. He will try to make two shots in one round and make a sneak attack if possible.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Krug's first shot takes the commoner by surprise (11 damage). His second shot misses as the plainly-dressed man turns and looks in his direction. Bolts of blue lightning spring out, but Krug again evades them by rolling to the side.

Krug fires a third bolt and wings the man in the shoulder (3 damage), causing him to fall to the ground unconscious. As he falls the blue lightning disappears.

 

[Uriel]

OoC:I know we can't see the commoner, but might we see the lightning bolts/flashes? They are probably quite visible, one would assume. (Ala Big trouble in Little China in the alley with the 3 Storms).

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Yes, you can see the flashes. They come from a sidestreet about 150 feet away (where you saw your companion Krug run a few moments ago).

 

[Kamard]

Grim looks up at the flashes, then breaks into a full run as fast as he can, dodging others, until he gets there.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

While Verakka, Titus, and Iliar gather around the babbling elf noble, Grim rushes down the street to Krug's aid. When he arrives he finds the dwarf standing with his crossbow over the unconscious figure of a human commoner. Three scorched bodies like nearby.

Suddenly the two hear the sounds of a halfling woman screaming nearby. "Help! Demons have got me. They're carrying me away. Help!" A quick glance shows the shouts are coming from one of the local merchants who sell goods from a wooden cart. She is ten feet up in the air and rising.

 

[Kamard]

Grim shakes his head in rage and frustration.

"Rah! The end times are coming, mark my words! All the rampant magic and decadence and filth in this city have conspired against reason!"

 

[Keia]

Does it appear that the elf noble is being affecte by a spell of some kind? If the babbling noble is making no sense and isn't harming anyone, Titus will turn to Verakka and Iliar say, "I believe we may be of more use elsewhere. I haven't the resources to heal his mind and I hear other screams, our help may be needed by the others."

 

[GruTheWanderer]

It is unclear whether the elf noble is affected by magic or his mind or something else. He is definitely not threatening anyone else. Grim, Titus, and Iliar run on to join the others.

The halfling woman drifts another ten feet into the air, still screaming about demons.

 

[Keia]

"Damn, what a day for me not to have requested Air Walk." Titus exclaims and he approaches. "Someone lasso her before she gets too high."
