Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 306411" data-attributes="member: 114">There is a sudden shower of dirt and pebbles as a huge humanoid figure erupts out of the earthen floor, much like a sounding whale. Gem-like eyes flash and a huge fist of rock swings around in a punishing arc and catches K’tan with a fierce blow. Trajan reacts quickly, but his scimitar glances off its rocky surface, the force of his blow completely absorbed by the elementals inorganic body.“Run for it!” Anne Marie cries, and the party charge headlong deeper into the maze of tunnels. They quickly outdistance the elemental, but at a crucial junction they take a wrong turning, and fetch up against a dead end! Scurrying back to the junction they arrive just to see the elemental step out of an earthen wall, at the end of its shortcut.Anne-Marie steps into one side of the fork and attempts to taunt the creature while fighting with all the defensive skill she can muster. Trajan maintains his position in the other branch of the fork to defend K’tan. The elemental lazily reaches out and lands a two-fisted attack on Trajan, rocking him back on his feet. Mentally he gives thanks to Asura for the Inertial barrier spell K’tan placed on him earlier, which robs the attacks of much of their power.Trajan calls upon Asura for divine might, and holding his bastard scimitar in a two-handed grip he chops away at the elemental. Meanwhile K’tan starts pouring his power into triggered concussions which he mentally hurls at the beast, each one of which knocks stones out of its head and shoulders.The elemental takes time to land a crippling blow on Anne-Marie before switching its attention back to Trajan, but the Jazumai’s stand continues and at last a final blast from K’tan fells the creature, which collapses into a mass of stones and dirt.Bruised and sore, Trajan does his best to bind up the wounds that people have received, then calls upon the healing power of Asura, which flows through his hands and lifts both their spirits.“That inertial barrier saved my life” Trajan says to K’tan. “Can I have another one?”“Sorry. Not enough power” replies the laconic Cadlanian. “Invisibility?”.Trajan nods, and his two companions see him fade from view. They set off deeper into the maxe, Trajan invisibly leading the way, and relying upon the light source of his comrades behind him. Rounding a corner he sees another wight, crouching in wait. Stepping forward and with a shout to focus his concentration he sweeps his scimitar up in a lightning fast blow which cleaves the surprised undead in two before it can move. Visible again, he taps the bones and rags with his feet.“Not too shabby”, Anne-Marie says as they come into view.“Invisibility again?” asks K’tanTrajan nods. Then they press on deeper into the barrow.</blockquote>
