Mishael grabs the rope from Suny and continuing to hold the woman down, manages the loop the rope around her arms and legs, securing her tightly before stuffing a rag in her mouth. "Thanks Suny. We got her."

Mishael tries to take advantage of the grip of herself and Suny and moves to secure the woman more tightly. In spite of the woman's squirming, Mishael manages to pin her against the floor. "Suny, I think I've got her. Can you find my rope? Its right on my belt. I'll try to tie her up."
Able to see through the darkness and buoyed by Karsielle's spell, Mishael makes her own grab for the woman. "I've got her!"
"House it is, let's go! At least we seem to have a way out."
Mishael joins Suny in the room, quickly shrugging a dress similar to those she saw some of the serving women wearing. She looks at her boots in dismay and kicks them off to slip into a more suitable pair of shoes.
Mishael nods to the door Suny just opened...
Mishael whispers, "What if we borrow a page from Flag's book and disguise ourselves as servants? There's enough of them here, I doubt they'd notice us."
Mishael nods her readiness to "chef."
Eyes flaming with difficulty in hitting the scorpions, Mishael strikes again, this time managing to skewer one of the last two.
Mishael swings her cutlass again, attempting to connect with the remaining scorpion by her foot. This time the cramped quarters and speed of the scorpion confound her and she misses.
"Hey, watch my foot there Silas!" Mishael slashes her cutlass at one of the scorpions attacking her boot. With a direct hit, she cuts the tiny creature in twain.
"Ow, something just stung my foot!" Mishael looks down and her foot. "Scorpions!"
"Maybe we have a short respite. It didn't seem very quick."
Mishael takes one look at the creature and yells, "I agree with Silas! Quick, let's run for that door!"
"We might be done in here Suny...well, except for that monster from the pool, but didn't Karsielle say something about seeing someone head down this passageway?"
Mishael suggests, "Oh hell, why don't we just give it a taste and see if we can figure out what it does?" Taking the potion from Karsielle, she sniffs it and then takes a sip. She swirls the liquid around in her mouth. "Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Someone else want to try?"
Mishael turns at the sound of the door opening, "You're back quickly. What did you find? It looked like one of the cultists might have escaped. Did you find them?"
"Bloody, I'm not quite as quiet as you, but I can trail along behind to make sure you don't run into too much trouble while Karsielle patches up Suny. We probably shouldn't go too far."
"Thank you, but what you did for me during the fight has most of my fight back. I think Suny could definitely use some help."
"Wondered what you were doing down on the floor with that thing. Guess we better see if we can get you fixed up before we see who that was. Karsielle! Do you have any spells left to patch up Suny?"
"I'm in pretty good shape thanks to Karsielle. Just nicked a bit. Not sure how the rest of you are doing though."
Ok, and it sound like Silas wants to stick with his character which just leaves BF to weigh in since Sinvel is coming up with a character anyway.
Do you guys want to stick with these characters or new ones?
Sounds like a lot of Razor Coast interest. I might be able to do a mashup with some of the others too. Seems to be a lot of interest in doing that in the Razor Coast thread. Only about $17k left to fund the Kickstarter. Right now it looks like it will be tight, but it should make it. Sersa Victory won the Valhalla Calling contest, but it was nice to be a finalist. Hopefully will get a chance to do something with that pitch down the road. Both Brandon Hodge and Ben had some very nice things to say about it.
Yep, I've volunteered to run the next game. I have three possibilities under consideration and input from all of you is welcome. 1. The Freeport Trilogy (modified for level). This might also lead into Dark Deeds in Freeport for which I believe Sinvel and I are both patrons. 2. Journeys to the West. This has a 5th level adventure that would be suitable for where I assume everyone will be at the end of this adventure plus a 7th level and a 9th level (written by yours truly). I could string these into a mini-campaign possibly concluding with Dark Deeds which IIRC is for 10th to 12th. 3. Razor Coast. Not out yet, but should be available in (roughly) the same timeframe we're ready for our next adventure. With the expanded material, I think this will cover 1st through 12th+, but the sweet spot for the original arc is 4th through 12th which should be just about right. I was originally leaning Freeport Trilogy. Now I think I might be leaning Razor Coast. So, any input from you guys is definitely welcome. If you'd rather just do another short one, we can always go with one of the Freeport adventures or the 5th level Journeys adventure and then decide if we keep going. Edit: Or, I forgot I also suggested the 2nd chapter of Second Darkness. That would still work too.
"Uh oh, sounds like company might be coming. We better hurry up." Mishael sees the cultist dazed by Karsielle and swings again, hoping her next blow can finish him off.
Howdy all. On another RPG topic, I have had the very good fortune of being selected as a finalist in Kobold Press's Valhalla Calling adventure competition. Hope you guys get a chance to check it out. The entries are really outstanding. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I look forward to finishing off our cultists!
Suny, its being run by Frog God this time. Those guys are top notch and have a long track record at this point. As for your money, did you already contact Lou for your refund? He worked out refunds for everyone that asked for it before they started on the Kickstarter. If you didn't go for the refund, I believe you are actually still going to get the main book out of this as long as the Kickstarter funds. Anyway, you guys can probably tell, that I'm a big fan too and already in. I really think the way Lou has handled this, there is almost no risk and with big reliable names like Bill Webb and Greg Vaughn involved, I have confidence.
Merry Christmas Sinvel! Thanks for another great year of gaming!
Mishael warms as the healing energy swims into her. Calistria's touch leaves her almost giddy with the influx of heat, but she quickly refocuses on the remaining cultist knowing more might lurk right around the corner. "Thanks Karsielle. That was a lifesaver. Now let's finish this fight."
"Whew! Sorry it took so long Suny. Now to see about our cultist friend here." She whirls, eyes and blade flashing as one and slices her cutlass through the remaining cultist.
Well, there's some big news! Congratulations Silas! We look forward to seeing you again once you return. Have a great time!
"Hang on Suny! We'll see if we can get that thing off you!" Mishael redirects her attention to the slimy, animated intestine monster. Taking a quick step between it and the cultist, she gets it between herself and Suny. Suddenly, she plunges her cutlass deep into the creature, stabbing it through its gruesome flesh and anything left of its organs in a wicked blow.

Bloodied by another blow from a cultist, Mishael swears a stream of sailor's oaths before lashing out at the newcomer. "Yo, pull yourself together and get that barricade down Silas. Could use some help here!"
Status: hp 12/32
Mishael spares a glance for the new attacker, but doesn't get her cutlass up in time to block his blow and flinches as the sword comes whistling down to cut deeply into her shoulder. Why won't this first one go down? Are they getting something from that damned song? I'd better finish him or I'm in big trouble. She lowers her center of gravity and sends a new blow whirling toward her original attacker.

Mishael spins again, dancing between the cultist and the horrific aberration and hoping to stay on her feet while her teammates remove the barricade. She catches sight of Suny trying to roll and knock the cultist off his feet and lashes out at the cultist once again with her cutlass.
As the cultist attempts to rise, Mishael swings her cutlass against him again, hoping to finish him before things take a turn for the worse.
Mishael vaults back to her feet and takes a short step sideways. She stabs her cutlass at the cultist.
No worries. Its been nuts for me too. |
