"Yes the same self righteous piece of $#!+ that had me beaten and tortured." Ravan replies, her voice dripping with venom.
Looking up at the piece of filth she says, "You're going to die horribly today, just like your little squire did, and you'll beg for death before we're through."
Caliban moves into the room and takes a swing at the blowhard. "If you're going to be so combative, then please stop talking."
;
Caliban, in order to bypass Ruedo, slipped inside the wall and popped out in the room. As the Phantom emerged from the wall and came at Sir Balin, the Knight tried to get his shield up, but failed to do so. However, his armor absorbed the full brunt of the entity's strike. The man swung his sword at Caliban.
Round 1
Caliban, Sir Balin, Ravan, Cyrus, Ruedo, Eri
Eyes flashing with rage Ravanalonna dashes across the room sending a stream of fire washing over the armored object of her burning hatred.
"YOU WILL BURN!!!!
The fanatic Knight was unable to defend himself and dodge Ravan's magic at the same time. As the flames wash over Sir Balin, his tabard and hair catch fire.
Round 1
Caliban, Sir Balin, Ravan, Cyrus, Ruedo, Eri
Balin - 32 (Burning)
Cyrus moves to the far end of the room and attacks the knight with his chain sickle.
With limited options, Ruedo hurls an arrow at the knight.
Seeing immediately that this meeting wasn't going to go well for them, Eri shifted into her more beastly form before the confrontation even began. As she watches things unfold it is clear to her that this is a dangerous bastard that needs to be stopped at all cost. Though seeing what he did to Caliban worried her a little she looked over at Ruedo, "No matter what happens....stay the hells back." She says before making her way towards the talking dung heap and takes advantage of the positioning with Caliban to flank him. Letting her fury at what this pig had done to Ravan turn into a simmering rage she raises her axe above her head and brings it down in a slicing arc across their enemy.
Giving him a scary looking smile she licks her lips, "You look young and tasty. I bet your flesh is delicious...you won't mind me taking a taste will you?" She says as she attempts to shake him up a little bit.
Cyrus sickle bounced off the man's armor as Ruedo's arrow flew high above the target's head. Eri carefully maneuvered around the knight and dug her axe into his shoulder. If it wasn't for his armor, she might have severed it completely. Turning his head, the woman can see her words had their intended affect.
Round 2
Caliban, Sir Balin (Shaken 1 rnd), Ravan, Cyrus, Ruedo, Eri
Balin - 21 (Burning)
Caliban swings at Sir Balin with utter disregard for his own safety.
The Knight, despite his shaken condition, managed to extinguish the flames. After doing so, he stepped out from between the Phantom and Shifter and attacked Caliban again.
Round 2
Sir Balin (Shaken 1 rnd), Ravan, Cyrus, Ruedo, Eri
Balin - 21
Seeing Caliban cut down so quickly only enrages her further. The only thing keeping her from going over the edge was the knowledge that he wasn't really dead dead, just sent back into Ruedo's mind. Taking a deep breath she says nothing as she steps up to Balin and attacks again with her axe, bringing down once again across his shoulder.
Nearly growling she says, "Your bones will make a fine soup peasant."
Moving across the room to the perfect spot Ravanalonna unleashes another gout of flame to envelop the knight.
Again, Sir Balin was consumed by Ravan's burning hatred.
Round 2
Sir Balin (Shaken 1 rnd), Ravan, Cyrus, Ruedo, Eri (Actions Declared)
Balin - 14
Cyrus steps forward forging the reach of his sickle in favor of a more intimate beat down of the knight.
After the Sorceress' flash of flames, the Pirate and struck full force at the various weak points in Sir Balin's plate armor. Which proved rather fatal for the zealous knight as he collapsed in a burning heap on the floor.
Dropping her axe she turns to Ravan after giving the corpse a final kick in the head, "Ravan....are you okay?"
"....I will be.....now that that piece of $#!+ is dead. Thank you Eri. I wouldn't have any complaints if you decided to eat his face." Ravan says, her breathing returning to normal.
She shakes her head as she gives her a smile, "Nah....that's okay. We still have a job to finish and I just came up with a policy never to ingest stupid bastards that hurt my friends. He's also a little more well done than I like and it's no fun eating them once they're already dead. They can't even scream....and that's the best part. I'll search him though and then we should search that north wall. I'm just glad he's finished and can't hurt anyone else the way he hurt you." She rubs Ravan's arm before turning back to the di<kheads body and searches it for anything useful.
Ruedo searches around the room.
Ravan smiles, glad for Eri's support and happy that the bastard who'd made her life hell was finished.
Already apparently distracted by some random thought she gets up and goes to Ruedo. Putting a hand on his arm she says, "I'm sorry about Caliban....but he can come back eventually right?" Looking around she says, "We're gonna have to be more careful from now on since we don't have him as a scout right now." Trying to refocus on the task of searching the room she redoubles her efforts to help find whatever they were looking for.
Ruedo nods. "It'll be tomorrow before he can come back."
She nods, "Okay...that's alright. We're all okay and that's what's important."
"Yes, that's true."
Searching the room only yields the fact that this room is a jail cell. There's no way out other than the way you came in.
Looking over the charred remains, you find the following items:
- a potion
- a Longsword
- a Dagger
- a cloak
- a well made (albeit crispy) suit of plate mail
- a heavy steel shield
- and a silver and sapphire holy symbol of Mitra
Looking at the silver and sapphire pendant for a moment she takes a piece of material to hold it with and rips it off his neck. Showing it to the others she says, "This is it....the thing we're supposed to take him...right?"
"Looks like it. I have to say I couldn't think of a more satisfying way to complete the task."Ravan says sneering down at the charred corpse.
She nods, "Maybe take the potion, but leave the rest of the stuff. I don't feel like carrying around his crap, unless one of you want something that his stupid ass had?" Looking up at Ravan she gives her arm another little friendly rub, "Nothing about any of what that bastard did to you is okay, but he's gone now and you're still here. So...you can kinda move on now. You wanna get outta this crappy place? I know I'm ready to get the Hells outta here." She says as she gives her a little comforting smile.
"Ravan, can you check if anything is magical besides the potion?" Ruedo asks.
"Of course." the Sorceress says, muttering an arcane phrase as she eyes glow blue. Even as she scan's the dead knight's items she squeezes Eri's hand, appreciative of the support.
She just nods and squeezes her hand back, silently letting her know that she was there and understood what she was feeling and that she wasn't dealing with it alone.
"The potion is probably healing, and I think the cloak would make the wearer more resilient, especially against magic." Ravan says after studying the items.
She nods, "We can keep the potion and the cloak. I think either you or Ruedo should have the cloak Ravan. I don't want it."
"I'll take it if you don't want it, Ravan," Ruedo says. "It'll help with some of my shortcomings."
"All yours. I won't wear anything that was on this piece of $#!+" Ravannalonna says passing the cloak to Ruedo.
