ROUND THREE Beauregard your action please
EVERYONE As the battle rages against the ogre. Suddenly Korihor shoots up in the air screaming as burst of engery explodes around her. Floating a foot off the floor the wound Korihor suffered is gone as her silver eyes glow with rage.
Engineer draws his club and brings it down on the ogres knee, looking to drop the creature in its place.
to hit, two-handed; damage
As Korihor rises like a pheonix a wicked grin crosses Lumen's features.
"Die!" she growls, bringing her blade in a sweeping horizontal slash
Astonished by what he can see , Daxur resists the urge to start taking some notes and quickly reloads his crossbow and send another bolt towards the ogre.
attack
damage
After a quick glance to see what's happening with Korihor (and relieved to see her apparently in better shape), Zevon continues his attack on the ogre.
Seeing Korihor's miraculous recovery, Beauregard looks about for his discarded weapons. Gathering them up as he is able.
EVERYONE #3 your eagerness to cripple the ogre causes you to misjudge oyu attack. Lumen your powerful slice digs deep in the wound of the ogre cutting to the bone. Zevon your mighty bash into the ribs of the ogre crushing thr remainder of its ribs. The ogre starts to sway and fall on its back. Daxur your bolt flies past the ogre as it crashes to the floor. Beauregard you gather your weapons.
Daxur marches up to Korihor and Beauregard pulling out his notepad and pencil "Ok, tell me exactly what happened in here !!" he asks excitedly.
Irritation wars with intellectual admiration for the Goblin as Beauregard pauses to assess the immediate circumstance. Inhaling deeply, Beauregard is obviously mentally reviewing the events as they occurred.
Shifting into a tone & manner similar to his presentation with witnesses, "The Ogre struck a clearly mortal blow to the subject. Deep tissue laceration through skin, muscle, bone; into the chest cavity. Non-magical response would have been insufficient to prevent a catastrophic invitae event from shock if not exsanguination."
"In the interests of preventing said event & stabilizing said subject, I channeled Mark Energies to maintain vitae..." At wich point Beauregard's professional reserve & vocabulary fails as he is obviously searching for appropriate terminology, his hands caught in inarticulate gestures.
"Equilibrium." He spits out, an expression of obvious self-directed annoyance flashing across his features.
As he jots down Beauregards excellently descriptive narration Daxur utters little , until Bearegard finishes. Patting his friend on the shoulder "Excellent, thank you. " he says, then looking at his notes "Curious...curious". He then steps over in front of Korihor, looking up expectantly.
"Fascinating. Beauregard's Mark yielded a power over human flesh like my own does over constructs. It is relieving to see Lumen return from such a grave blow."
Engineer stows his weapons and removes another power stone of force screen.
"Perhaps we search for valuables, then press on?"
"I'm...
hesitant,
to award this Mark much credit, Engineer. Though I have only born it a brief time, the effects & purpose of the Marks have fascinated me for quite some time previously." Beauregard responded. Holding up his hand & displaying the Mark therein. "This is a Least Mark of Healing. The I could have reasonably expected, indeed the most I was hoping for, was merely to stabilize Korihor in the hopes that once we removed the threat of the Ogre we could then heal her with greater leisure. ," indicating Korihor's renewed perfect health, "Is beyond my capabilities. I find it more than slightly concerning in fact."
"I'm pleased, mind you, but also concerned."
Lumen steps forward bringing her blade high overhead to come crashing down on the ogre in a finishing blow.
Lumen As the head of the ogre roll off its shoulders the horrid stench of the room doubles.
"Well, that was...exciting. Are you now undamaged, Lumen? How long will the magic which enlarged you continue? Are we prepared to continue?"
Engineer regains his psionic focus now that combat has subsided
Hearing Beauregard's explanation or rather the lack thereof, Zevon asks Korihor:
"How do you feel? After the mortal blow & the first aid by Beauregard it is strange to see you completely unhurt: did you experience something when Beauregard's power touched you?"
Next, Zevon takes a quick look throughout the room (without poking in the pile of refuse). He also examines the ogre's possession, in particular his sword.
"It'll only last about a minute more, I can feel the power sort of siphoning off already." Lumen replies, cleaning the ogre's blood and filth off her sword.
She strides over to the severed arm, joining Zevon in his study of the weapon.
"That'll teach them to hurt one of ours"
"I...I don't know."
Daxur and Lumen When Zevon is done asking his question to Korihor and as ahe responds the little gifts on your necks get a warm.
Zevon/Lumen the sword on a closer look is beautiful and strange, both of you realize that you both have seen this weapon before as a vision blasts your sees.... the warrior woman in leather cursing the sword and drinking a potion that heals her wound. The weapon lays om the chamber floor waiting.
Lumen gives Zevon a questioning look as they stare at the strange sword.
"You mind?"she asks nodding towards the blade, her hand on the verge of reaching towards it.
Korihor walks back into the first room, getting away from the ogre.
Holding a hand to his "mark", Daxur frowns then follows korihor back in to the other room.
"No. Go ahead, Lumen: a sword is more your style anyway. I'll have a look at that chest over here. Beauregard, do you think it is safe to open the chest?"
Squinting in concentration as he observes each new factor, Beauregard answers Zevon's query. "Give me a moment."
Beaurgard you find no traps on the chest, the simple lock on it opens with ease. And you find......
in the chest is..5900 crowns, 2248 sovergins, two deep green spinels, 6 dried fungi flasks and master work headband,and........
Scratching absently at the mark on her neck, Lumen reaches out and grasps the eerily beautiful sword by the hilt, raising it up as she tests it's heft.
Lumen This sword is well balanced and not effected by its large size. you get the feeling as if was made for you. As the sword and yourself, have been together.
still in the chest a silk bag, and a strange looking gaunlet with crystals and............
Engineer reaches for the crystal laden gauntlet.
"Interesting. Crystalline structure and reinforced steel base. Excellent design and execution of construction as well."
in the chest still once #3 lefts the gauntlet a dense-wood handled mace with byeshk bands running up and a byeshk mace head that has a crystalline appearance.On the head of the mace, is an open hatch a small bag tie to it. On the handle a small trigger is found
Zevon takes the beautiful weapon out of the chest and having made some practice swings, nods approvingly. He then takes a closer look at the small bag & the trigger mechanism.
