Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 300339" data-attributes="member: 114">Backing off quickly and bringing his guard up, Trajan attempts to fend off the creature while Anne-Marie behind starts backing up too. The charnel stench from the creature is awful. K’tan gathers his power and launches an amplified concussion at the creature but in the darkness his aim is appalling and he strikes Anne-Marie right in the back of the head! With a couple more ineffectual swings at the creature they retreat out of the narrow corridor and into the chamber - but the wight backs off, refusing to follow towards the daylight it retreats back around its corner.Shaken up by the encounter, the party discuss their options. They wait for a couple of hours to allow Anne-Marie to recover from the nasty blow she took. In compensation, K’tan decides to try out a new power which he is getting to grips with - and he places an inertial barrier on each of his companions.“Don’t worry” he says. “It will be difficult for the wights to hurt you now”.Once more they activate the secret door, and this time Trajan glides careful forward, scimitar poised. At the T-junction he bursts around the corner and catches the wight completely flat-footed! With one smooth, focussed motion he brings his bastard scimitar around in an overhead cut and pauses with the tip of the blade at ground level - and the two halves of the wight collapse separately on the floor. The steps he has been taking along the path to Sword Saint are really starting to take off… his old master will be pleased!Surprised that a foe which had caused them such trouble early on could be dispatched so quickly, the party form up and start winding their way through a tricky maze of passages. After 10 minutes they stumble across another wight, but its claws cannot penetrate the inertial barrier, despite striking magical sparks with each blow. Its chilling touch is also blocked, thank Asura!They proceed on a little further, before Anne-Marie sounds a note of warning.“I can hear something” she says. “a deep rumbling sound”“I can see the ground trembling slightly” K’tan respondsto be continued...</blockquote>
