Chapter 3: Thistletop

Saldrina huffs and puffs, but takes aim at Nualia and unleashes a blast of air.

OOC:

EDIT: Forgot the -2, but that should still hit.

Hit with a raise, so 3d6 total. Finish him Airbender!

Khel had run from the encounter with demonic Nualia and her baleful baying hounds. He huffed and panted trying to regain composure, his heart thumping in his chest. Slow deep breaths calmed his mind, and he then ran again to join the fight.

OOC:

Does 8 movement let Khel reach the fighting chamber?

OOC:

Will just take you back to the trapped area.

OOC:

Wess, was able to soak all the damage, and can act normally this round. Saldrina was able to cause 1 wound of damage to Nualia.

OOC:

Edit: Will also draw a new round of cards so we can see who else may act now.

OOC:

Posting a new post to draw extra card for Nualia, due to Quick Edge. Last round when I drew anew it just removed my first set of cards.

OOC:

So Wess still has his action from last round, then Chigaru is up. If Chigaru rolls a 4 or better on his running die he is in position to act at a -2 penalty.

Running roll

Having escaped the source of fear, Chigaru's courage comes flooding back. Also a plan to take out the two hounds first. Chigaru uses his momentum to make a buttonhook turn and races back towards the fight. He weaves around Wess and the hafling, rushing right into the dog on the eastern side of the room with a flying kick.

Chigaru flies through the air, hitting the hound in the side with his foot, shaking its resolve.

Vulnerable from her wild attack, Wess hits their foe, but the axe bounces off her mystical shielding.

Nualia slashes back with a wide swing. Wess dodges out of the way in time, but Grimwulf isn’t so lucky and gets a hard blow in his midriff. (2 wounds)

The hound is unable to unshake, and so instead opts to take cover behind a chair.

OOC:

Grimwulf can soak 2 wounds. Then Khel, Grimwulf, Wess and Saldrina may act.

The halfing tries to twist out of the way of the sword but is too slow, it's blade piercing into his abdomen. The red haze dimming, his vision darkening, Grim falls to one knee.

Flashes of his past flit by, the constant beatings, ridicule, and shame. He shakes his head violently to clear the memories and growls out "No! Not like this! Not by you, witch!" and finds the inner strength and will to lash out with his maul.

Yes, she kept up her Wild Attack, Shalelu killed the blue hound.

Grimwulf lets out two mighty attacks with a roar. The first one hits Nualia in the side, and you can hear bones break. She falls to her knees. She is about to say some last words when the second swing hit her right in the side of the head. Her jaw comes clean off and lands some yards away. Her eyes widen in shock for a mere moment before it slams into the ground, lifeless.

With Nualia dead it takes you no time to deal with the last hound.

OOC:

Congrats. You won the fight, the hardest one so far. You are awarded with another advance.

Grim's eyes widen a bit at seeing her jaw come clean off. He lets out a burst of laughter, "What's that? Having trouble speaking?" then slumps to the ground himself, enveloped with pain and fatigue as the red haze fades.

Wess drops his axe and rushes over to catch Grimwuf before he hits the ground "Well done mate. Well done indeed! Are there any potions left we can spare for our hero here?" he ask of the group

Nodding at Wess, Grim reaches into his belt pouch, "I've got them both." and pulls out a healing potion. "Is anyone else in dire need?"

Khel rushes into the room wondering what was going on with all the screaming and combat, but he was both surprised and relieved to see that Nualia was taken down. "Grimwulf? Wess? Are you alright?" He then turned towards the remaining hound and sent a freezing bolt in its direction.

The hound flies backwards and hit the wall with a thud.

Looking over Nualia you find several interesting things. She has a bastard sword, a composite longbow, a magical breastplate (has the Aegis enchantment for a +1 protection bonus), a holy symbol of Lamashtu. A potion of major healing. A Sihedron Medallion. 7 pp and 5 gp.

While worn, once per session as a limited free action a Sihedron medallion grants the wearer a Benny.

You can also find several journals and notes on the table. These would take hours to go through.

Khel is going to take the Sihedron Medallion. Storywise, it is probably an artifact of Thassilonian empire and he is really interested to study those. He is also going to take the notes and journals if others don't want it.
