Truk continues watching and waiting.
What just happened there?
Andrea moves next to Orsin at O-14 and brings Shadow with her to N-14.
Lucrezia the beam seems to take up most or the area near you, it is doubtful being on the ground would lessen the area covered. However, it was a sudden quick flash, then the light dissipated.
Angradd's arse! Grimm exclaims as the beam shoots past.
Guessing at the wizards tactic, Grimm takes a rear guard posting, the creatures they had been fighting had gone through alot of trouble to get to this thing. He figured it wasn't going to be as simple as taking it.
As soon as Faelyn's summoned creature appears near the relic, a massive sunburst explodes catching the HA, Lucrezia, Faelyn, Grimm and Truk in it's radius.
plus you are blinded.
What the f%%#!!
Not knowing what is going on, Lucrezia drops prone.
Truk tries to cover up with his arms but is too slow and eats the full blast in the face. The big orc howls in pain and frustration. He claws at his face as things grow dark.
"I can't see! The damned thing burned my eyes. Someone grab it before it does that again."
Lucrezia! start crawling back to us!
"Someone get the damned trinket. We didn't come all this way to back off now", Truk growls.
While on the ground, Lucrezia blindly and invisibly fumbles amongst the contents in her bag, grabbing out a potion and then drinking it.
"Lucrezia! You okay? Talk to me Beautiful."
Truk stumbles around, clearly not accustomed to being an invalid.

The HA reaches down and grabs the artifact.
The HA can try to locate it since he's been blinded. he can try to feel for the items with a perception check.
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
Zizmort, still invisible double moves to the artifact and will grab it the next round if the HA can't reach down and grab it.
The HA fumbles around but locates the artifact. The artifact's deadly sunbursts stop pulsating in the living hands.
Get the artifact. Archon I am blinded. Give it to one of my companions. There are evil undead here. Use your ability to detect to know who to give it to!
Zizmort speaks in Draconic like Faelyn. I will take it from you Archon! He reaches for the artifact.
The HA would hesitate a second before handing it over to the little devil. This creature is blind, so does anyone want to guide it to where it is going, or where it needs to detect evil?
Faelyn hears Zizmort's voice. Give it to the creature reaching for it.
Truk's going to blindly stay put.
"Lucrezia? Where are you?"
Moving back towards the intersection will take quite some time at 1/2 speed and over the rubble an debris but eventually everyone makes to the middle intersection.
"'Drea, you said the vampires weren't actually dead? We should find them and finish them off before we leave."
After saying this, Truk grunts as he runs into a wall.
Ziz hand me the artifact.
Ziz does this if allowed.
Andrea channels to heal everyone.
4/5
We need to find their coffins. I am guessing that those sarcophigi where we met the crossbow vampire are those. I have holy water and we can jam crossbows into their hearts. We also need to heal people of their blindness. Depending on the time, we can either hole up in the hideaway or perhaps send Ziz to get Areal and the others to help us home.
Andrea can you see?
Andrea can you see?
Yes. Orsin,Shadow and John were not in the radius of the light.
Here take the artifact. I will be able to study it later if I can get my vision back.
Andrea takes the Morrowfall into her hands. Such a fantastic artifact, Just like the bearded devil and Bisby said. Let's get those vampires destroyed and us out of here.
What are you doing when you get back into the coffin room?
Easy money that they probably did something to trap the coffins, and with Lucrezia blinded, she cannot see what. Wait, Orsin could try to use the scroll of dispel magic that Faelyn has to clear Lucrezia's sight I believe.
Andrea considers this creative use of the dispel spell. Then thinks it probably won't work since the effect of a spell with an instantaneous duration can't be dispelled, because the magical effect is already over before the dispel magic can take effect. Drat
Meanwhile everyone will notice that Orsin is speaking quite loudly.
Andrea knows blindness and deafness is permanent but there are methods to cure those deficiencies.
They can only be cured after either Truk or I pray for the miracles to cure them. We could try pushing these open, but risk triggering any traps if they exist.
Andrea visually examines the sarcophigi.
If it is dark outside, we cannot safely rest in Delvehaven. They will be back within the hour and after us to get the Morrowfall.
Shadow, examine these sarcophigi with me and see if we can safely open them.
"You're thinking about this too hard 'Drea. Point me at the coffins and I'll peel them open", Truk says as he feels around blindly.
Andrea guides Truk to a sarcophigi and motions others to move back. There you go.
