Theron examines the king, finds no signs of the Arcane marks that were found prior. At this point, it is probably safe to say that those Arcane glyphs were imprinted by the Court Mage and they signified flesh golem constructs under his sway that he could ritually transfer his senses to at his discretion. The King is clearly flesh and blood. However, it appears that your examination reveals that his senses may be under assault. Something is stealing his life from the inside out. He has no wounds, no signs of sickness and despite his age, he maintains a youthful vigor. Thurgon's miracle-infused touch may be required here.2) Thurgon gets a + 2 for the successful support action. pemerton, we will save that Religion check for later. With respect to your Primary Skill action here, LoH, as a singular use, isn't a "Daily" so I'm disinclined toward an automatic success and a + 2 forward, unless you wanted to spend both of your uses (which you may need one later!). However, with 1 use (and the loss of your healing surge as you give your life to the King), I will drop this from the Medium DC to the Easy which you would pass with a 15 due to Theron's successful support action. If you want to spend both and have the + 2 forward, then let me know. This is successful with just the 1 use (and your healing surge).On to the fiction:The King gasps (!), sucking in air as a man returned from the depths of the sea. He sits upright at your Divine touch and transferrence of your life-force to him. Simultaneous to that action, he scrunches up his face and lets out a primal scream. When he does so, a disembodied spectre, a thousand ethereal tendrils, exits his body and reforms at his feet next to you. You both behold the graceful visage of the aged, beauty unravaged by time, queen (in facade only!). Knowing that there is no explaining this, the Night Hag immediately shifts to its normal disturbing presence; purple-hued, mottled skin...eyes as black as night...hands finished with trembling, terrible claws...black, oily hair disappearing into the darkness around it. It immediately attempts to assault you all with torturous visions (perhaps your deaths, that of loved ones, or causes lost) but specifically focuses her attention on destroying the King!In advance, if you guys are going to attempt to shield the King fromt he mental assault, I will need a group Endurance check at the Hard DC. Either of you passing would yield a success. If that isn't going to happen, then whomever is up is at the Medium DC unless it is the second use of a Primary Skill (then it would be Hard DC).[TABLE="width: 500"][TR][TD]9 Successes (6 at Hard DC)[/TD][TD]1 Failure[/TD][TD]4 Advantages Remaining[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]</blockquote>
