Pip looks apprehensive at Rravn's words, recognizing the intensity of them despite knowing that he speaks in tongues at times. "What do you mean, Rravn? In Common, please...!"

As the image of the Pathfinder fades, he is replaced with three smooth-featured, humanoid creature that appear to have skin made entirely of mirrored glass.

The three creatures take a look at their surroundings, and see the hostile looking Pathfinders, and suddenly all three have duplicates.
The thirteen mirrored creatures all look at the team, the images of the Pathfinders reflecting off their skin.

Pip makes a faint choking sounds in the back of her throat, whe she sees the glass-like creatures multiply. Really?! She stifles some curses, then moves over to Durothil and punches him on the shoulder. "Go get 'em, tiger!"
"I think they're Soulslivers by the way, some kind of shapeshifter. I recognize the description from a book I read a while ago."
|
|
Realizing that a major Pathfinder leader is lying dead send Durothil into a morose silence.
This is war. Friends dying, heroes falling, who will rise to the occasion? Who will fill the ranks to take their place?
Suddenly numerous mirror images spring to life. Durothil feels Pips punch, and instantly feels his spirits rise.
"Thanks Pip. I mean to do you proud!"
He moves towards the nearest foe and swing his pole axe once again.

Pip enhances the warrior, Durothil, who hits the Soulsliver, but only gets an image. Lady BroKhan also destroys an image on green. Rravn uses his SLA, and moves.

He will back off when below 10 hp.
Often using his spells to enhance himself, Rravn is not used to healing others. If someone is in dire (and I mean DIRE) need of healing, Rravn will step up and use the strongest healing spell he has to alleviate wounds.

Dekion shakes his head when he sees the creatures multiply. "That figures," he thinks to himself when Pip lets the group know about the creatures. "Don't have much choice, do we. Let's try to gang up on them as much as possible." He moves to the north to try to contain them and flank, then attacks with his long sword but just shatters an image.

After Dekion destroys an image, Drusilla strikes at red, but she also strikes an image!
Blue attacks Dekion
Green attacks Lady BroKhan
Red attacks Durothil.

Dekion smashes another image (3 images left). Lady Drusilla is able to grab hold of one of the Soulslivers. Pip is still confused by the images, and hits one of them, rather than the one that Drusilla is holding. The Lady BroKhan cruelly finishes of an image on green (1 image left). Durothil swings his bardiche at red, hitting it, at least in part due to the grapple by Drusilla!
The grappled Soulsliver tries to pound on Drusilla. It does seem like the wound that Durothil gave him is healing, thouhh.
Green will also attack Drusilla
Blue will attack Dekion.

Drusilla casts an angry look at the green soulsliver, who managed to hit her. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have only one pair of arms. Could you arrange some entertainment for the green enemy here, while I keep this red one occupied"
Then by only slightly adjusting her stance, she bring the red soulsliver down to ground, keeping its arms locked tightly.

Lady Drusilla continues groping the Soulsliver... one only wonders what is going through the mind of the noble Aasimar. Rravn finally enters the fray, slashing at the Soulsliver with his falcata, striking hard, but only catching an image.
Currently only blue has images (3), and red is pinned.
Durothil and Pip to go.

Durothil gives a mighty swing, striking the Soulsliver that Lady Drusilla has pinned. When his blow strikes, he can see thousands of tiny cracks growing over the surface of the creature. They multiply and join, covering the entire surface of the thing, until it is covered with cracks, at which time it explodes into a shower of shards, covering everyone within twenty feet (and as Durothil quickly realizes, this includes the other two Soulslivers!).
Pip then strikes green, with similarly explosive results!
Undeterred, blue turns to attack the one that killed its partner, as its wounds slowly heal.

"Ggah!"
Covered in glass and scrapes, scratches, and wounds, Durothil's feet grinds the glass into sand as he crunches his way to his last foe.
Leaving bloody footprints, he hefts his bardiche once more. The heavy bladed head weighting heavy upon his burning shoulders.
His strength failing, he again attempts with a mighty swipe, to decapitate the foul glassman. He quickly readies for the shower of shards that are about to rain down upon him.
|
|
Pip manages to throw her arms up to protect at least her face from the wordt of the shards. Relieved that at least two of the duplicate-spawning outsiders are dealt with, Pip turns to the third.
After Durothil has made his attack Pip steps in, attacking the remained Soulsliver whose duplicates have been dealt with.

While the other two only hit images, Durothil is able to strike home. However, it is a glancing blow, which does not destroy the vile creature.
Dekion, Drusilla, and Pip are up!

The chain reaction of exploding soulsliver's covers everyone in glass. Fortunately, Dekions armor protects him from the worst of it. He grins as his companions converge on the remaining soulsliver and eliminate its remaining images. He then draws back his long sword to attack. As he swings, he feels a shard of glass stab him in the side, having found a gap in his defenses, which causes his attack to go wide.
|
|
With a final cry of frustration, Pip runs her longsword through the crystalline creature.

Severely cut by the hundreds of shards suddenly flying around, Drusilla feels reluctant to go after the last soulsliver. The creature doesn't feel like it is much of a talker, so they might as well shatter it - which is not one of the old woman's strenghts. Verbal assault will do just as well. "Any last words, creature? One last change to beg for mercy before you are smashed into little pieces!"

Mostly ignoring Lady Drusilla, the creature steps around Pip and attacks. It misses twice. Evidently it isn't its day.
Pip then attacks it, hitting it hard. Once again a spiderweb of cracks appear, and it explodes.

Pip heals herself with her wand while she follows Rravn. "Do you know something of what happened here, Rravn? The Sky Key is gone, but its essence still lingers here?" She muses, to no one in particular. "If they tried to smuggle it out of here through the Tapestry, that might explain the mishap, doesn't it? I hope it's not lost forever. That has to be worse even, than the Aspis having it..."
She looks around the rest of the group, who seem to be dejected and demoralized. So, what's next...?"
|
|
After her brief rest, the half-orc leaps to her feet. "Come my friends. We have sulked long enough! We have had our wins, and our losses.... but we are not done yet.
We have an enemy to deliver payback to. Let us find them and destroy them. Only then can we mourn the dead."
The seriousness on her face shows neither regret nor anger for the first time. Just pure determination. She grabs her hammer, and reaches a hand to Durothil, expecting a warrior's embrace.
