The Fall of Arden Fell
Through the mindlink, Shenystari: [sblock]He can drain power! Caution, sister.[/sblock] Gathering the power of her mind, Shenystari lashes out at the man, but finds her power shunted aside. The kalashtar feels tendrils of thought insinuating into her mind, draining her determination and will. Shenystari babbles in confusion, her mind not making the necessary connections for independent thought.
Mel: [sblock]The purple-scaled creature lashes out again at her with power born of despair, while Mel erects a shield of love and determination; the love she has from her mother, her determination to find the truth, and the love she has found from her new-found friends. Her shield shatters the creature's whip, and there is a backlash of energy. Mel hears screams within her head as she finds herself flung back into her body. The man who had grabbed her is crumpled against the opposite wall, and some of the people in the garden are looking at you with wide eyes.
OOC: You totally rolled a 20 to defend yourself!
[/sblock] Up on the top of the stairs, there is a flash of white light, and the man who had been holding Mel is flung across the staircase and crashes into the opposite wall. He slumps down, unconscious, and some of the other people in the garden pause and stare in awe. Bail bashes his way through the crowd as Mel suddenly comes out of her trance, and is able to put himself between her and the slumped man. From out of the crowd, he hears someone yelling, "Murder, they killed Arden!" Screaming and further panic ensue, as the confused people starting dashing to and fro.
OOC: The man attacking Shenystari rolled a 20 on his save, then Shenystari only got a 9 on her saving against his id insinuation, so she's confused for 1 round.

Tondrek comes out of his daze, and wraps the cord around his boots, murmuring a few words, and feels his slippery feet gain a bit more surity on the treacherous floor. The sizzling from the acidic fire he threw finishes burning itself out; now there is a fist-sized crater in the rugelt's stony shell. Querzana shakes herself awake and throws her dagger at the rugelt's belly with deadly accuracy. It thunks home next to Harolk's cuts, as the swordsman drops to his knees. Slicing with the ever-eager Orange Crush, the sword mutters a deep "Kash" as the two front legs of the table are sundered in twain, dumping the huge rugelt on the floor. Harolk realizes his error almost immediately and throws himself out of harm's way before the rugelt can land on him.
Hxaptos backs away from the action and uses the wall to brace himself, carefully rising to his feet depite the thrashings of the ship and the pitching of the slippery deck. Come now, back into the fray, don't let the lad have all the fun... the Lump whispers in his mind, before trailing off into an insane cackle. Hxaptos feels a faint tickling sensation in his hands and feel, and can see tiny feeler-like tentacles growing out of them providing him with a firm grip on the floor and wall. (OOC: spider climb)
The rugelt gives another terrible thrash and slams heavily into the kneeling target of Harolk, cracking ribs and pulping muscle in its agonies. It's getting weaker, but not fast enough!
OOC - Harolk takes 14 points of damage.
The noblewoman looks at Rayni for a moment, and her eyes seem as deep and wise as an elf's, more like Shenystari's than any human Rayni has met. "If we harm the man or her while they're in a trance, both could be lost to us. Just keep them from getting reinforcements or from going in the house!" she hisses and then backs to the side, glaring at the man. He gets a determined look on his face and the noblewoman blanches suddenly.Rystil Arden said:

Tondrek moans when he sees Big Sword Man hit by the fishy fish, a gurggly, sad sound. He moves behind the tall man, and crumpling a bit of literugy calling the protection of Dol Arrah's warriors, he places a slightly warted hand on Harolk for a moment.
[OOC: shield of faith +2 on Harolk. Did the ruglet take the second round of 1d4 fire damage from the acidic fire Tondrek threw?]

Flee! shouts Harolk´s sane mind, suddendly strenghtened by the wound. And admit defat by a fish? Never. He reverse grips both swords, trying to pin the creature to the floor.
ooc:
The internal dialogue continues. Idiot. The keeper said "save her". Get the bitch out of the way and you´ve won as soon someone with a crossbow appears" Now that´s an idea. "Anyone, get the girl out of here!"
ooc:
Just attack with two weapons

Now that is more like it! Hxaptos thinks to himself as he moves around a bit getting used to the strange sensation of his feet sticking to the ground a little with each step. He still intends to deliver pain to the fish if he can get in there before Harolk destroys the place.

The man with the probe
Mel looks around confused, knowing there was more emotion that she had tapped into, and she realed disoriented as Arden fell backwards. She felt herself being scooped up into the arms of someone she felt safe with. She clung on tight to him, eyes closed, whispering "My love shall keep me safe."
[sblock=Isida]I'm playing Mel as being disoriented for a round or two, with the rush of emotion and what not. I figure she'll figure out exactly where she is in a moment, and likely won't remember saying that out loud, not realizing that she's fully out of the vision yet. Besides, it looks like something cool to RP

The Fall of Arden Fell
Rayni's fall of pale light continues to hammer the man that had been coming for them, and he looks far worse for the ware. The noblewoman, seeing Bail grabbing the two girls, snatches Shenystari's and Rayni's wrists and pulls them back through the crowd. Shenystari snaps out of her confusing, cutting off the flow of incomprehensible words. She turns and lashes out with her mind, smothering the man's confidence, demoralizing him. He seems to stumble, both under the assault of Rayni's magic and Shenystari's powers. The woman near the other gate contiues to shriek bloody murder as the three women and the heavily-laden Bail make good their escape. They're joined shortly by three other men the noblewoman seems to welcome.
"They're safe, they're friends. Come, we must hide before the guards come, or all will be lost!" she says, and ducks them into an alley. But in a fine place like Ocean View, alleys are not dark places where the hunted can hide, but places for servants that reign like nobility themselves. You don't have much time to figure out your escape plan.

Tondrek slides forward, gripping Harolk's shirt for a moment, mumbling something and crumpling up a piece of paper. Harolk can acutally feel his shirt glowing with protective power, as his clothes take on a faint iron hue. Querzana grabs her rapier from her other hand and dashes forward in elegant form, slipping its tip under its rocky hide and stabbing deeply. "Yar! You'll not take us down so easily!" she cries with bravado, riposting elegantly and tossing her white hair back.
Harolk switches his grip slightly and hammers down with both swords, thrusting them through the tenacious rugelt. It seems half its belly lies open, but the damned thing still clings to life! Hxaptos steps in next to him and gives the rugelt an almost gentle touch on the head. Black energy seems to ooze from his hand and over the rugelt's mouth, where they are sucked in. The creature gives a faint, half-strangled cry... and slumps into motionlessness. The girl by the oven keeps shrieking for another few breaths before she realizes the danger is over... then she bursts into tears.
