Turning her glare on the woman, Sigrun explodes into a charge, her hammer slamming forward with brutal power.
With a very feline like smirk he simply removed his naginata and swiped low at the creatures ankles sweeping near the back of them with the flat of it while Friend Sigrin came crashing in.
Keep your feet firmly on the ground... its embaressing to lay on ones back in a proper challenge.
He retorted and brought the sharpened end down on the prone form
The asura nimbly jumps over Silence's sweeping blade but takes a glancing blow from Sigrun's hammer. Her innate resistance is sufficient to significantly blunt the damage, and she retaliates with a blinding-fast flurry of attacks. Neverhome takes a spear thrust to the chest, Sigrun's faced with a pair of longswords, and Silence finds himself dealing with a longsword and kukri.
Your Turns
Just let me know when you for ate done playing! Percy calls.
In report to the inevitable angry looks from the three faced thing, Percy just juts out a hip and sticks out her tongue.
He had underestimated the reach of the creature so he bent over to pick up his katana then stepped forward to re-engage.
As a CR 9 creature, she's tough enough to take on the entire party. There's also no protection (magical or otherwise) against attacks from those of you not participating in the duel. You'll make her angry, but there's no hidden tricks. ;-)
"You’re tough!" Sigrun yells, ”but I’ve definitely faced bigger!”
"Ok, you've had your fun you three-faced thing, but now we've got to go!" Zses shouts to the creature, before chanting a curse and chuckling.
Recognizing what Zses is attempting, the asura laughs. "You think your puny magic can affect - " That's when her vision becomes partially obscured by shadows, and she suddenly begins experiencing difficulty aiming her attacks. Taking advantage of the confusion, Sigrun and Neverhome score more blows, although the damage is reduced by her thick hide. It's a shame that your weapons aren't yet powerful enough to overcome her unholy resilience .
This time, your opponent is only able to land a single blow: a spear thrust that catches Neverhome in the shoulder .
Your turns
Zses smirks as the spell takes effects and laughs. "Well, it looks like they do."
Percy tries again.
Twisting and turning as the battle rages on, Sigrun's drives her hammer into the deadly warrior.
You continue to chip away at your opponent's defenses, although she shrugs off most of the effects of the spells. She's definitely bloody, and this fact seems to please her. "You're the funnest I've had in quite some time." Despite her wounds, she remains a formidable opponent, scoring hits on Neverhome and Sigrun - although Zses' magic protects Silence from harm.
Your turns
Asura: moderately injured, -3 STR, misfortune, evil eye (attack rolls) 1rd

Percy tumbles into the melee and touches the four armed lady.
Caught in the full on icy fury of battle, Sigrun wordlessly hammers away at the enemy.
Up until now, Hobbes was willing to let them fight it out without him. But his impatience took over as he leveled his bow.
After Percy's successful spell, the asura begins to look seriously injured by the party's blows. This finally makes her turn serious, as she focuses her attacks on everyone within her reach.
Your turns
Asura: severely injured, no DR, -3 STR, misfortuned, evil eye (attack) 1rd
Neverhome's blade smoothly removes two of the asura's heads, and she crumples to the ground. That's when everyone notices her wounds are slowly sewing themselves back together . With the amount of damage she's taken, though, it'll take quite some time before she's in any shape to fight again.
Loot
MW kukri x2
MW longsword x2
MW spear
Loot her and let's move. I'd hate to be her when she wakes up.
Quickly he slashed downwards doing his best to remove an arm or two from her torso.
Quickly scatter the peices yes yes... take some to the other rooms toss the head down the room with the bad runes.... let us make sure she takes her time coming back yes yes?
He began in explanation.
Yes yes. Good idea, Silence. Take all the heads and toss them all down those stairs, just in case one gets fried!
"Sever the third one and toss that down there too. Maybe set the body on fire." Sigrun suggests.
Apparently, the staircase runes only work on LIVING creatures. Whether or not that information is significant is currently unknown, but when dealing with magic as powerful as this, any knowledge is useful. Regarding the asura, she'll still piece herself back together, but it's doubtful that you'll have to worry about her for the duration of your time here in Artrosa.
The ceiling of this broad natural cavern arcs upward, forming a narrow crown high above the cavern floor. In the center of the cave stands a rings of worn, moss-covered menhirs, their inward faces carved with mystic symbols. These menhirs (each possessing a strong aura of transmutation) stand 10-15ft high and form a ring nearly 50ft in diameter. To the north, a passage leads up a gentle slope to a closed door engraved with the image of a hunched and withered crone.
As you begin to travel through this chamber, you hear a sinister female voice whisper in your ear. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you all right now...."
"... because we don't even know each other?" Neverhome immediately responds.
And I'm no fun to kill. Percy reolies just after Neverhome. Some ghosts in here already tried and they had NO fun in the end.
