Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 233483" data-attributes="member: 114">Reacting quickly, Dala fires off a sleep spell, and the half-fiend slumps forward, only partly emerged from the womans body. Lysander steps forwards and decapitates it, amongst a rising tide of panic from the rest of the villagers.Lysander lays his hands on one of the other women, and prays that Asura might free her from the magical parasite growing inside her, her body arches under his hands, then relaxes. Buoyed up by his aura of fearlessness, she lifts tear stained eyes and whispers “thank you”.Around them, a cacophony of voices rises amongst the moans and cries: “help me!”“No, please help me!”“My children need me! Help me!”“No me!”The healed woman says “Please help my husband, for the love of Asura help my husband!”K’tan turns to Lysander. “How many times can you do that?”Eyeing the twenty or so villagers chained up here, Lysander whispers “Once more this week. It isn’t enough”.Dala wants to do something to ease the pain of the villagers, so he casts a couple of widely targeted sleep spells, which drops the rest of the villagers into a deep sleep (and drops the noise level in the room significantly too).Arilyn taps her lips pensively. “What are we going to do? The safest thing is to put them out of their misery before the fiendish parasite completes its growth…”“No” Lysander replies flatly. “We must find another way”.Dismissing Anne-Maries idea of cutting the fiendish baby out and healing the villagers before they die, they decide to try something with holy water. Finding just one they carefully apply it with all of Lysanders healing knowledge, and after a minute or two this villagers breathing and skin starts returning to normal. But they don’t have any more holy water.Below them is an amphitheatre filled with half-fiend hobgoblins. Somewhere above them must be the fiendish creature which is behind this whole nightmare. They will not be able to get the villagers healed until they can get them to safety, and that means dealing with the problems at hand.“Right” says Anne-Marie. “K’tan, you follow me up the stairs. We’ll get this bastard”.</blockquote>
