X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

A large, wolf-like dinosaur appears and attacks the faceless man, but its bite misses, even as Girgal casts another spell.

Aram still flees, but Jex overcomes his fear at this point, and can act, though he has fled some distance along the riverbank.

Jex blinks several times in quick succession. He looks back and sees Eissun drifting towards him, and Rpiclaw and Girgal still fighting the now-faceless Remus. With a grimace, the shadowcaster hurries back to the fight, sending Eissun ahead to help out.

Both take a double-move to get back to the fight. Let me know what range that puts me at next turn… I think I was about 180-200 feet away at the start of this one, so Jex’s 60 ft. speed should close a goodly bit of distance. Though if he can run, he’ll take that instead and try to get himself 30 feet from Remus. Eissun will stay next to Jex, either way.

"Kine!" Father Fuller tries again to trip Remus and fails again.

As Jex makes his way back to the battle, the faceless man aims another savage blow at Girgal. The greatsword strikes true once again, wounding the halfling further.

ooc: 14 damage

Meanwhile, Girgal's newly summoned dinosaur ally proves no more reliable than his mount had in the face of Remus' fear effect, as it runs in terror. Girgal himself feels some of the effect, but his will is strong.

Even Jex's shadowy ally cowers before the faceless monster, and hides underground.

Aram recovers somewhat, and he no no longer feels the urge to run away, though it would take him at least a dozen seconds to return.

ooc: Girgal, Jex to act

Jex is back within 30' at this point (1 round running away, 1 back). Eissun is frightened. Girgal, Fuller and Jex are shaken.
 


Jex sighs and shakes his head. Eissun had never acted this way before… Apparently the elemental’s wispy form gave it wispy courage also… His eyes flash black as he flings another shadow-bolt at the faceless warrior.

Surprising that the fear effect can hit twice… Oh, well. Jex uses another charge from his Reach Umbral Touch to blast Remus.

Umbral Touch: +5 ranged touch (shaken effect included), 5d6 damage, DC 19 Fort save or be slowed, as the spell.

Jex's shadow-bolt strikes the faceless man, Remus. Already sorely wounded, he crashes to the ground.

"Are you all right, Girgal, Aram?" Father Fuller, shaking off his fear, inspects the creature. "He's dead" the priest confirms.

"I don't think any of you want the greatswords? If not, I'll take them. I have an idea for something else to do with my ring."
 



"Fine Father," says Aram, breathing a bit heavily from his time spent sprinting, both away and back. He inspects the minor wound that Remus struck him, still bleeding a bit. "Only a slight wound, at any rate. My pride is sorely wounded, though. What manner of being was he to cause such unearthly terror?"


AC: 25, HP: 71/82
 

Jex heaves a sigh, his shoulders slumping. At the question of the great swords, Jex shakes his head. “I have no idea… I can only hope we don’t face more like him, the closer we get to the Master. That could be quite troublesome.”

Jex runs a hand over his face and back over his hair. “Well, let’s be moving on…”
