As Muni seems to be targeted by most of the wisps, Gilian moves to him and laying a hand on him, infuses him with healing energy.

Using heal from the bone ability to heal 44 hit point on Muni (back to full health).

Crit confirmation
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

With two incredible strikes, Ilona and Duncan almost kill two of the wisps. Their light dims, but they continue to seek the raven, obviously intending to kill him, even if it costs them their lives.

"What the hell is wrong with you little bastards!" Muni squawks as Gilian's healing energy flows through him.

Everyone had their actions, right? Round 4 is next.

"Fine! You want me, come and get me."

Cast Mirror Image 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

In a kaleidoscope of magic suddenly the are more Munis.

Sky would have attacked the injured ones first. Eliminate their attacks if possible.

Solvi and Ilona, please post your actions.

Round 4
HP 30/30; AC 16 (mage armor)
*currently under Shield Other spell.
current SP 19/27.

Solvistania glances at the remaining wisps, and again summons her warmagic.

Cast Magic Missile at one of the injured Wisps, assuming Sky did not kill it. If so, then the uninjured one.
Damage 3d4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 3 + 5 = 15 warmage
SP 18/27.

Only one wisp remains now. The thing seems to wobble in the air, as if unsure what to do - and then, it simply explodes in the flash of white light.

8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 6, 6, 1, 4, 6) = 31 REflex DC 17 for half.

Reflex save 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Solvi, don't forget a +1 for saves from shield other. If Solvi doesn't make the save, Duncan will take the entire damage to himself.

Solvistania body flinches as the explosion catches her by surprise. Instinct takes over as she shields her body from the worst of the effects.

Reflex 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
Take 15 HP damage
Current HP 15/30

EDIT: Solvi takes no damage due to Duncan's sacrifice.
HP 30/30

Immediate action: Duncan takes the entire damage for Solvi anyway

Reacting as the wisp bursts, he pushes Solvistania down covering her with both his shield and his body, taking all the damage from the blast, knowing that his dragon blood and his armor will give him a measure of protection.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Raging Reflex Save

His supernatural reflexes diving away as the creature explodes, Sky is able to keep from taking any damage from the explosion (evasion).

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Muni takes the blast full in the beak sending him skidding to the ground in a jumble of feathers.

Or rather, six jumbles of feathers.

Flapping awkkwardly to his feet he sputters and gasps. "Give me a f$%+ing break! I can't win for losin' here!

Reflex save1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18
HP 32/48

Partially covered by Duncan, Gilian dodges the worst of the blast.

Duncan, don't forget you've got DR10/electricity

1d20+7

Muni takes the blast full in the beak sending him skidding to the ground in a jumble of feathers.

Or rather, six jumbles of feathers.

Flapping awkkwardly to his feet he sputters and gasps. "Give me a f@##ing break! I can't win for losin' here!

Roll to confirm critical miss. If you don't manage the save, roll 1d6.

A cry or rage sounds at the same moment as the wisp explodes. "Aaarrrgh! My pretties! You are going to end in my cauldron, you overgrown chicken! Just watch!" The cry must have come from somewhere in the shadow, but unless you decide to go and look for the source, you are at loss from whence exactly did it come from.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Reflex1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Ilona spins, an elegant fluid movement that takes her out of the path of the worst of the blast,

Panting heavily from the combat and injuries you have taken, you turn around, looking for the source of that voice, fearing more attacks from the dark and taking stock of your injuries.

Everyone, please post your current HP and any actions you may wish to take before the guiding light takes you further down the road.

"Ow." Muni gasps, his little feathered breast heaving.

"Do you think we can stay safely here for 10 minutes? If so I can start healing both Muni and Ilona. If not, we'll do it later. I'm not out of healing option for today, but I prefer to save them for emergencies."

When you are ready to leave the crossroads, approach the guiding light.

"Do you think we can stay safely here for 10 minutes? If so I can start healing both Muni and Ilona. If not, we'll do it later. I'm not out of healing option for today, but I prefer to save them for emergencies."

Solvistania nods, "I see no reason preventing us from resting here. We are in danger all along this path, Gilian. I would advise you to be quick about this."

Without a word, Duncan stands with his shield covering Gilian, and watching all around them.

Gilian wrote:

Solvistania nods, "I see no reason preventing us from resting here. We are in danger all along this path, Gilian. I would advise you to be quick about this."

"Good, then I'll need your help and Muni's. I've developed a ritual to compensate foe the use of magical energy. You don't need to know the spell I'm going to cast, but if you both follow my directions, I can heal two persons at the same time. You know, it's the same kind of ritual we used during the nexus atonement in the dwarven caves when we were first together."

With that world, she quickly open her bag, takes out some strange looking dried herbs and a small vial of what looks like a dark red paint. On a small clay tray, she sets fire to some of the herbs and a musky odor fills the surroundings. The other herbs, she quickly brew in a foul but sweet tasting mixture.

"Ilona and Muni, drink that, please. After that, please Solvi and Muni, repeat the song after me, and concentrate on willing the wounds to close."

As they do, she uses the red paint to trace the outlines of their wounds and chants in a low voice words of healing. Slowly, some of the wounds close and clean skin replaces it.

"Oh, that's good!" Muni clicks, drinking happily. "Tastes salty sweet like a nice ripe eyeball."

Then he mimics Gilian's song doing a surprisingly good impression.

"Good might be an exxageration but it definitely works. Thanks Gillian, once again you prove yourself to be a life saver."

Ilona smiles as the drink takes effect, her wounds healing.

50/53 HP

Sky keeps one eye on the area where the voice appeared, and the other on the strange ceremony taking place before him.

They have changed so much since...before. What type of strange magic is this?

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Perception

As Gilian finishes with her ritual, Duncan takes point.
"Let us continue. The sooner we leave this place the better. Muni, stay close to me, or rather behind me. I'll try to protect you as much as I can, since it looks like this old woman is really keen on eating you."

Gilian, roll d100.

"If the b#!%* tries to push past Duncan, cast from my shoulder, if she's hungry we'll see how much she like the taste of black steel."

In the back of her mind she could hear Requiem's deep amused chuckle.

Gilian, roll d100.

1d100 ⇒ 76

Once again, you follow the guiding light. The road stretches in front of you for the longest time, passing through the shadows of forests and ruined cities. Monuments of passed glories abound around you. From time to time, you can see the rings of sickly glowing mushrooms a few steps of the path, or lights dancing in the murk. At one point you heard growling and eight pairs of glowing eyes followed you for a mile or two, keeping themselves hidden in the shadows, but nothing came of it. Whatever those things were, they probably decided that you are too dangerous pray.

Time passes, but you do not feel hunger or weariness and your wounds do not heal. This place you are in seems to have strange effect on your bodies, but your minds as well are starting to feel the effects of all that gloom around you.

You follow the old road, not knowing when will you come to its end, when you suddenly reach a cliff overlooking a huge city, easily the size of Cambrial.

Standing alone on a long stretch of desolate shoreline, the city looks like a dirty port with a huge forest-covered swamp on one side and black sea on the other. The city walls are high and encircling, made of filthy black stone and from your vantage you can see that the city inside them is a dismal place of twisting lanes, narrow alleys and chaotically placed houses and haphazardly built towers.

Over the city hangs an enormous murky cloud and instead of seagulls flocks of ravens, crows and various moth-, bat- and dragonfly-winged creatures chase each other between the cloud and the spires of an impossibly tall castle, easily the size of Teros Obsidia.

Solvistania stares down at the ancient city, strangely fascinated by the dance of the various flying creatures. She searches her lore for any clues as to what place this is...

Knowledge (local) 1d20+13

Solvi, you do not have the appropriate Knowledge skill, since you are in unknown environment. You can gain enough knowledge to take the Knowledge (Local - The Ways) when you level up, but you can't use it untrained before that.

Any actions before light takes you to the city gates?

Muni complains quietly.
