Jansson slashes at the first squirrel he struck, trying to finish the wounded creature (Attacking Squirrel 1).

"Get your dagger, and go help the good squirrel. I'll try and hold off the ones here!" Jansson yells at Tori'shel.

Test of Millicent (Jansson, Tori'shel)

ROUND THREE
Initiatives

Jansson - 19
Good Squirrel - 18
Evil Squirrels (11) - 5
Tori'shel - 4

Jansson slashes at the first squirrel he attacked.

He gets a 19, which hits! He deals 3 points to Squirrel 1.

Squirrel 1 is dead.



The good squirrel comes running out of the brush, heading for Jansson. It dashes past him, and quickly disppears in the undergrowth on the other side of the clearing.

Attack them while they run past! A voice says in Jansson's head.


The three squirrels on Jansson bite at him viciously, while the four on Tori'shel lash out with their claws.

Jansson is missed completely; Tori'shel is hit once critically.

Tori'shel takes 5 points.


Tori'shel falls to the ground, a bloody mess, her wounds still flowing... a few moments pass, and her body disappears in a flash of dark light.

Four squirrels quickly dash by Jansson, following the wake of the good squirrel, and he manages to strike at one before they get out of range...

Jansson gets a 19, and an 18 for critical confirmation, which hits! He deals 12 points to Squirrel 6.

Squirrel 6 is dead.


...and cleaves the creature in half as it runs into his blade.

Damage Thus Far
Jansson - 13 (Squirrels on Jansson: 2, 3, 4)
Tori'shel - 18 (Squirrels that were on Tori'shel: 9, 10, 11, 12)
Good Squirrel - 4 (Squirrels on Good Squirrel: 7, 8)

Squirrel 1 - 11 (dead)

The Rest of the Group (Animus, Desimus, Ruth)

Suddenly, in a flash of black light, the body of Tori'shel materializes in the clearing, in the center of the circle made by the thirteen stones. Even from the distance you are at, you can see that she is bleeding, and has some severe wounds...
 

Test of Rashida (Syld, Narok)

Narok looks, but doesn't find any discernable differences between the images.

"That very fact is the one that makes all the others false." Each Rashida answers Syld. "What more proof do you require?"
 

Test of Merle (Osius, Shardorn)

ROUND TWO
Initiatives

Osius - 7
Shardorn - 5
Ghost - 4

Osius manifests stomp once more...

The ghost fails it's reflex save.

...and the spirit falters, and falls prone.


Shardorn casts cure light at the ghost once again...

Shardorn deals 5 damage to the ghost.


Once again, the ghost recovers, and this time stares disconcertingly at Shardorn...

Shardorn gets an 18 on her saving throw.

...but, like Osius, she shrugs it off.

Damage Thus Far
Ghost - 12
 

The Rest of the Group (Animus, Desimus, Ruth)

As Tori'shel's body appears, so does the shadowy figure from before.

"Your companion has fallen in the Test of Millicent." It says. "The Voices have decided that another of your number may join your remaining companion, if you so desire... if you choose to, then step forward to the stone circle."
 

Drawing her sword and basking the surroundings in a pink haze flowing from her sword Ruth steps forward.

I'll be taking that honor.

And with a quick glance she looks at the dead woman, a few memmories of tales about her from her compagnion flow through her head.

She had that comming I presume...

Jansson, here's backup.

"Are you sure they are false images? Perhaps you are a false image and one of them is the real one?" Narok prepares to be visciously smited if this is the real Rashida.

The Rest of the Group (Animus, Desimus, Ruth)

As Ruth steps forward, she sees that Tori'shel is not dead yet... though she will be soon, if left alone.

The figure nods to Ruth. "Very well." Ruth disappears in a flash of black light.

"You others," The figure points at Desimus and Animus, once Ruth is gone, "may want to tend to your companion. She is not dead, but will be shortly."

The figure then disappears into the shadows, once more.

Test of Millicent (Jansson, Ruth)

As Tori'shel disappears, Ruth appears a few moments later in the same place a few moments later, accompanied by the flash of black light.
 

Jansson, get over here and watch each other's backs while you fill me in on what'the situation. Let's tackle this problem together!

And she hews at an approaching squirrel.
