Then a few sharp words from Mavic and that sensation slips away through his finger tips. He looks down to his chest where his hand still lingers from his own spell casting and then looks over his shoulder to Mavic. Sighing slightly at the pointlessness of it all, he turns to face the Marquis. At least most of the shadows were gone."What do we do with him?"He fumbles at his belt for his sling stored there, trying to recall the last time he was forced to resort to man-made weapons. The weapon feels odd in his hand, but he remembers enough of how to use it.  OOC: Draw and Load slingReivik, seeing his foes float out beyond his reach, decides that it is time to deal with the Marquis. He turns his attentions to the bars of the cell, slamming his powerful maul against them in an attempt to make an opening.  The bars of the cell are made of heavy iron, two inches thick, but the dwarf is able to almost break one completely with two blows.  It looks as if one more such blow would be enough to break through it. OOC:  Smash attack on iron bars 19 + 13 = 34, hit! Damage 1d12 + 20 = 28 hp; attack#2 9 + 8 = 17, hit! Damage = 22 hpNot entirely pleased with her defenses against the shadows, Latalya pulls out a small pearl from her backpack and then retreats inside the Antimagic Field for now. OOC: Pull out Pearl of Power (1st), Move next to MavicThe Marquis howls in frustration, shakily standing on his throne and draws a beautiful dagger from his torn fur cloak. “What have you done?” he shrieks furiously, “I can no longer hear or feel the Dark Master!  What have you done with my beautiful darkness?  Bring it back, you diseased son of a Baklunish she-witch!”  He is glaring directly at Mavic.  OOC: Stand on throne, draw daggerThe shadows attacks were deadly. And though Mavic’s spell has warded off another wave, it has also sapped Anastasia's strength to stand. With her body almost completely drained and her gear too much for her to bear, she quickly collapses to the ground. “Be it my will or Mayaheine’s I will not be filling the ranks of the accursed undead.” She mumbles as she lays her shield onto the ground and forces herself to stand up. OOC: 7 Strength, Drops shield to avoid Over-Encumbered. Current weight 63 lbs (78 – 15 Shield); Max weight 70 lbs, Heavily EncumberedOnce again the shadows erupt from the walls around you and silently move towards your group with outstretched hands.  On crossing the magus' invisible circle, however, they simply wink out of existence.  Seeing this, the Marquis' face twists in greater frustration.  The only shadow not to do this is the one located in the cell.  It begins to move toward you, but just before crossing the barrier you see the Marquis turn his head and look at it.  Instantly it backs away into the corner of the cell.Mavic keeps his eyes locked on the Marquis and barks out an order, “Eshanna, see if you can help Reivik get through those bars.  We must secure the sovereign.  As long as the proof is in effect we have nothing to fear from the undead.”Knowing that his bow will have little effect within Mavic's proof, George drops the bow and pulls out his lock tools, "I can try to open that cell door, but I'm a little worried about those shadows coming back once I'm outside the borders of the spell.  What do those more versed in these matters think?  He quickly turns and throws gazes at Mavic, Latalya and Eshanna. OOC:  Drop bow; draw lockpicksMorley knocks another arrow and readies it if any other shadows attack. OOC: Ready attackFollowing the mage's command, Eshanna moves forward and takes a swing at the same bar Reivik had just been hammering away at.  She lands two solid blows on the cell with her bastard sword but is unable to make any serious progress beyond causing a few small sparks.  OOC:  5 foot move; Full Attack#1 12 + 9 = 21, hit! Damage 1d10 + 3 = 5 hp; attack#2 8 + 2 = 10, hit! Damage = 6 hp</blockquote>
