[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7786437, member: 9255"] DARKSUN: THE ELEMENTS OF EVIL SEGMENT 045 “GUARDS OF THE TUNNEL” 08/08/19 SEASON: FRIEND’S VENGEANCE YEAR 24 MONTH: THE WINDS DAY: 19 KA: 190 “Shouldn’t we sneak in?” asks Choro. “Not today. Today we take it to the Raiders. We finish this.” Growls the mul. He leads up a dune. “There was a butte. Dull arrow tip shaped with two holes on top. Like that.” And he points to a stone cliff rising from the valley of sand before them. “Looks right.” Says Olan. “What are the holes?” “Entrances I would guess.” Adds Olan. The four pulling two crodlu with them march down the dune towards the strangely shaped stone natural structure. Olan spots a cave entrance and guards before it. “That appears to be it.” The mul doesn’t answer as he merely marches directly at the cave. Four bored guards spot them approaching under the moon light. One retreats into the cave and the other three draw their weapons. Once the group get within 75 feet of the guards they are commanded to stop and go away. Koe doesn’t even slow down. One guard raises his hand to begin to swing his flail and Koe strikes him down. He dodges the other clumsy attacks by the other two and elbows another in the throat dropping him. He goes to trip one using his weapon but the guard somehow stumbles over and onto the kama. His weight pulls it out of the mul’s grasp. “Fine.” He states and strikes the man down. The others arrive wondering what is possessing Koe. Even for him this was reckless [ DM NOTE: not sure what the player was thinking…..see how it ends later]. Choro ties the crodlu to a large rock near the entrance. He spots several torches behind the rock. He lifts up a body to move it and it moans. It is the man whom Koe punched in his throat. Both Koe and Olan turn as screams come from the darkness within the cave. Koe takes a defensive stance as Drak and Olan ready their weapons. Seven more guards come rushing at them. As they enter the moonlight Drak and Koe begin to strike them down. Olan throws daggers as the guards try to flank the two. Choro notes the green fungus on the downed guards armor, weapons and body. The plague. The leader is struck by the monk and loses his breath. Then a stomp on he top of the foot and he goes down. As Drak and Koe continue to deal with the guards they kick and stomp the downed leader- keeping him down. The leader is a black and blue mess but alive when the six guards are defeated. Having taken several heavy hits, Koe and Drak hope for some healing. Koe uses his healing equipment first. Choro offers help with the Eternal healing rod he was given for this mission. He has some success then it suddenly flashes and shuts out energy [ DM NOTE: Nat 1 on Use Magic Device]. He undoes the healing and then some to Koe and the item will not reactivate. Koe is not impressed, even with Choro taking as much damage as he did. The leader is unconscious and near death. However the gate guard is awake now. Barely. They try to get him to speak but his crushed throat makes his words impossible to understand. It is decided that Olan will go in first with his darkvision. Drak with follow but at a “safe” distance. “The Wind will Command” thinks the guard. [/QUOTE]
