Brin swings at the scarecrow again. Luckily his cautious approach allowed him to dodge all attacks. attack/damage mind blade: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 323d6 + 14 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 14 = 21
A vicious attack hit the creature hard and the force was brutal. free trip vs CMD for toppling strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Brin moves up with his formed mind blade. Unable to charge, he closes and hits at the slavering mad man. toppling strike: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 143d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 14 = 26 Unfortunately the blade swings wide, off the mark.

Brin looks around. "Habe will be running a respectable inn. Easier to serve drinks and food than work with the mentally ill. I will make sure we order enough equipment to set up a good establishment. Maybe Midori can give some decorating advice?? We, my friends, have still some evil to uncover and destroy. I am itching for another challenge. Strapped to a table and helpless was not for me!!"

Brin offers the buckler to Rafe, having seen archers use them before. Brin renews his force shield and finishes a comprehensive sweep of the building. "Maybe this will be my inn. DEFINITELY will not be a sanitarium anymore."

Brin swings a might toppling strike at the necromancer after healed and stepping up to him. Midori's inspiration hangs in the air. hit/damage: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 = 193d6 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) + 17 + 2 = 25

If not healed, Brin taps his inner power to withstand damage. spend 7pp for 35 temp hp, 4/58 hp with 35 temp hp. 6/24 PPs left +4 Str Brin continues to block escape.

+4 STR 16/24 PPs 10/58hp with 25 temp hps Brin realizes his legs are still shackled. He uses his mind blade to cut through the restraints on his legs (std). damage: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 6, 6) + 17 = 32 Then Brin stands (move). Then Brin exerts himself with some psionic power (hustle = swift 3PP for move action). Brin closes with the doctor and tries to cut him off. Brin moves to keep the doctor from escaping but will not try to provoke. Now 13/24 PPs after hustling

Brin moves his left hand over to the right shake and forms his mind blade {free action} cutting right into the right shackle. He sits up and slices at the one next to him with a Toppling strike if he is able. att: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 253d6 + 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (2, 6, 5) + (1) + 17 = 31 free trip vs cmd: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Brin concentrates, and his strength is that of a bear. Then he concentrates again and he gains some temporary vigor and health.
Currently at 10/58hp with 25 temp hp He tries his left manacle too.
If he breaks free, he will try to see if anyone notices.

If Brin's attack drops the orderly, his follow through targets the prone necromancer.

When Grayst attacks Brin, he concentrates and hits him back. Then, he swings at Grayst again as he almost loses consciousness from his lack of blood. 1/58 hp after bleed 1 "I can't keep up this much longer." Brin exclaims as he spits up some blood. attack to hit Grayst with topple expending psionic focus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 273d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) + 11 = 19 free trip after hit vs CMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 Then, after retaliating, Brin swings again at Grayst. attack to hit Grayst with topple: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 123d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 6, 4) + 11 = 22 Brin misses his second attack.

Brin tries to resist the ray of draining.
Brin shrugs off some of the drain, but steps next to Grayst and tries a toppling strike.

Brin is glad his force shield fends of the attacks of the orderly. Realizing that his friends are in trouble, he ignores the orderly to engage the ghouls. Drawing an AoO from the orderly--Brin is trying for a triple shot!! Move in the middle of three (7,10,11) of the enemies, Brin tries a swiping cleaving shot with his humming enchanted blade of force. first attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 213d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 5, 1) + 17 = 25
AC is 29 until cleave, then it drops to 27

29/58hp Brin takes the brutal blows, and retaliates. Cleave damaged orderly: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 363d6 + 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (6, 5, 4) + (7) + 17 = 39 other orderly if hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 323d6 + 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) + (3) + 17 = 27 Crit confim?/extra damage on first orderly: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 293d6 + 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (1, 5, 3) + (3) + 17 = 29 if one of these hits drops an orderly Brin gets an attack again with cleaving finish!! Brin's blades swings around, and after a foe drops, his blade seeks a foe again.
Looks like 58 on the first orderly and 48 on the second orderly

Brin charges the left orderly, the strength of animals infusing his already large and strong physique.
He discharges the psychic energy in his blade as the force blade comes down hard. He looks to the right orderly. "Still taking that position." +4 AC for force shield, -2 AC for charging

"If a good temple will take him, that would be good. They can take over his care. Let's go!! Temple first, ghoul maker second." Brin reflects ominously: "If a good temple doesn't take him, that would be bad for the flesh eater."

We can see how things play out. Having a spy in our midst psychically connected to a master as we run around is not something Brin is going to go for. Taking a PC out of action to tend the ghoul while everyone else goes investigating is something that violates rule zero, and in all horror movies usually ends poorly. So, as far as Brin is concerned, you probably have till evening. And, seeing how the ghoul fought, Brin won't trust any restraints to permanently keep him subdued.

Brin nods. "Well, if you put the holy water on him, and he sizzles, he is an evil deadite. We should probably give Korbin a chance to unghoulify him first. If he can't be fixed, he can't be fixed. I wanted to come here first as I felt this lunatic was the primary concern. Whoever caused this, probably can make other ghouls. If this evil master can make ghouls faster than we can fix them, then saving this one condemns many others to become evil walking dead." He turns to the asylum staff. "Get his files and anything that can help. We are permanently discharging this patient." Brin wants to get moving. They had some answers, but then they also had more questions.

Brin replies sharply: "You aid a ghoul and cause risk to others, and we got problems. Turns out he could have killed everyone else here had eh wanted. So, if you unghoul him, then he lives. There are other innocents at stake, we can't spend time and resources nursing a ghoul. And attacking the staff is out, we are Heroes."

Brin has no chance to charge his blade as the ghoul to be rises, swinging in a nasty arc.

Brin's attack connected and he followed with an immediate toppling strike.
Brin then hits Grayst again with another sweeping cut, charging it with psychic power.
Charge weapon with psychic power and toppling strike Putting the creature on the ground. "If you can stop this, I will not have to end you."

Brin nods "As long as they didn't misdiagnose a were or skinshifter as a lunatic, and we don't arrive to find the caretakers have died a grisly death, I think leaving the lunatic till later is the right way to go." This statement turned out to be more prophetic than I expected.

Brin shrugs: "I said the mad man would probably be turning into something. Too bad it is a ghoul. I hope we got here in time." Brin points to Habe: "You are no longer responsible for this patient. We're taking him. Give us all the notes and records on this man. Hope no one finds about your mistakes here, he could have infected your whole staff!!" He points to the other orderlies: "You will be telling us everything this man has said while in your care. Not as a group, but individually." Looking back to Habe and locking eyes with him as he approaches Brin speaks slowly and ominously: "Tell me again who you think is in charge of this situation."

Brin wanted to go to the asylum first, but was outvoted. He is probably staying quiet, as the others were quite sure of where they wanted to go. But our posting rate has dropped to an average of one total post a day, so he may have to speak up.
