[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6625924, member: 6781356"] My sword is out before me instinctively. A wry smile appears in the corner of my mouth as I consider just how absurd my defensive posture must look in this situation. Am I to parry the very air! That smile ends quickly enough and words of an ancient magical tongue stream forth as my free hand weaves arcane symbols. [sblock]Cast a Spell (Int) - Magic Missile 1, 4 + 3 = 8 The spell is cast, but after it is cast, the spell is forgotten. You cannot cast the spell again until you prepare spells. 2d4 damage (no armor) to one of the air elementals. 2, 4 = 6 damage. Vanquished.[/sblock] There is nothing to fight physically. Nothing to steel my will against. I try to drop my center of gravity and thrust my free hand into the icy covering of the sucking bog. Maybe the vice-grip of the peat can be friend as well as foe. [sblock]Defy Danger (Str) 5, 6 - 1 = 10[/sblock] Then I'll call forth blades of cutting air and the same force magic that laid low the first. My hand excavates some of the peat as I explode from my crouch into a spinning kata of blade and magic. [sblock]Wind Slash (Int) 2, 5 + 3 = 10 1d8 damage - 1d6 and 1 technique. 5 damage - 2 = 3 damage to the elemental. [B]Burst[/B]: Your attack deals an additional 1d4 damage and gains the forceful tag. 3 damage. Vanquished.[/sblock] With both elementals vanquished, I sheathe my blade and speed to pick up Saerie's short sword and longknife. I say a solemn prayer for the eladrin fey knight. Even though we fight for different sides, I still feel a kindred bond with the warrior. It is terrible that his grave will be such an ignominious place. Worse still that his superior let it happen. My thoughts quickly move to Saerie. I feel a constant weariness biting at my bones after the Sahuagin bit at my flesh. When will this wound ever stop bleeding? I hope my love for my friend will carry my legs when my failing constitution refuses. I want to try sprint after Saerie all the way to...wherever she is. [sblock]Defy Danger (Con) 3, 4 + 1 (-1 ongoing) = 7 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.[/sblock] I'll stake the HP to sprint all out all the way there. [sblock]1d6 damage. 3 damage to me.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
