His left hand goes numb with pain and clenches in a death-grip around the shield handle.“Oh no,” he whispers in disbelief. “Tan-Man?”“No, no, no. It’s all happening again.”[sblock=Break(it)down]The two consciences poof into existence at his side. Nice hangs her head in sorrow. Naughty bites her lip.“We’re sorry, Woe.”“We can’t stop it now. Not this time.”The consciences are gone and he’s back on the island, back at the massacre taking place on Dylanthas. His hand is a bloody gory mess and the bodies are piled high enough to block out the sun. Woe stumbles back, tripping over soft flesh.“Watch where you’re going, punk! Since thanks to you, some of us can’t now!”Byruck looks up from Woe’s feet in irritation, both of his eyes punctured by arrows that stick out like bizarre eye-stalks.“Where the hells were you? What happened to looking out for each other?! Why do you even consider your miserable hide worthy among the Skyborns??!!!”“I’m… I’m sorry…” Woe mumbles. “I couldn’t… I didn’t know what to…”He turns away, looking for a way out, looking for a way to escape. More mutilated corpses block his path, more people he’s left behind. Some of the villagers try to wiggle out of the mounds of corpses, but most of them just stare at him.Jaera crawls half-way out and sneers, her head replaced with Palindrome’s.“So much for covering our backs, you *****.”Corex pops out nearby, sighing with Tander’s head in place.“I told you we were getting killed over here. You certainly live up to your name.”Corex/Tander points an accusing finger at Woe.“Go on, do what you always do. Run!”[/sblock]“Run!” Woe shouts. He steps back to Tander’s fallen frame, staring wild-eyed at Atreus.“RUN!!!”The warrior puts his spear away and assumes a defensive stance, watching out for and keeping watch over the dead.[sblock=Actions]Woe uses Total Defense, then moves to X9 and “sheathes” his spear.Next turn, Woe’ll pick up Tander and follow Atreus out of here. I figure we can catch a short rest and heal up, return to snatch Palindrome’s corpse, and then get back to Daunton to have Tander raised while taking an extended rest. Palindrome’s gear can probably go a long way towards paying for the ritual.We might also have to think about recruiting at least one new member.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/wiki/index.php/L4W:PC:Woe_Chinua_%28Dunamin%29" target="_blank">Woe Chinua</a> - Human Fighter 2Passive Perception 12, Passive Insight 12AC 22, Fort 21, Reflex 19, Will 16 (Total Defense)HP 26/40, Bloodied 20, Surge Value 10, Surges 8/11Speed 5, Initiative +3Action Points: 0, <s>Second Wind</s>Powers: Cleave, Crushing Surge, Tide of Iron; Pass Forward; Spear of Myrdroon's Shard;Steel Serpent Strike; Comeback Strike, <s>Inspiring Word</s>; Spear of Myrdroon's Shard [/sblock]</blockquote>
