"An Illusion! We've an Illusionist in our midst!" he says as he turns to look around and perceive the room. "Bar the door! Grab anything you think you feel!" is all he says as he starts to turn around.
"Wow...we've been had."
She turns to Anevia.
"Can your wife cast illusion or invisibility?"
I knew it! Luci silently celebrated to herself. Outwardly, she simply readied her sword while looking for any indication of the culprit showing themselves. If someone was waiting here, and knew Irabeth, odds were that they also knew Anevia and she may be the intended target of this ambush.
"Everybody quiet, invisibility does not mask the sound you make."
"No, but she could stand still."
As the image of Irabeth fades, a swirling form of air coalesces and attacks Anevia.
Still in shock from the image of her deceased wife, Anevia attempts to ward off her attacker with her crutch. Just stay away, get out of my house and leave us alone.
Verim seems to tense up and stay sort of still for the moment, before Anevia seemed to be under attack. The winds had seemed to strike at her all their own but he was not sure it was another illusion or not. And waited instead on someone else to point out if the hidden creature was still in their midst.
Spotting the whirling mass that was some kind of air elemental.
"Tobongo, Defend Anevia!"
---Tobongo---
Tobongo moves into the room and strikes at the whirling mass of air.
Trying to avoid giving Tobongo an unscheduled pruning or Anevia an extra injury, Luci swung at the swirling attacker.
Mia will move north 1 square and "scan" west wards.
The elemental dissipates back into a stray breeze as Luciana's blade slashes through it.
"There's magic coming from near the wall, maybe it's there."
" Ahh Finally, We can guess it's no friend if they are hiding and attacked. Time to try out this new blade I just found. I think its pretty good at striking if I can go off of Luci's experience. WHATEVER YOU ARE GET READY TO TASTE SOME PAIN! HAAA! "
Verim had been waiting on some indication of where the unseen assailant lied. With the wind creature dealt with and the aggressor pointed out, his muscles pushed his form up against them. swinging the new scythes diagonally to try and catch the body. The Switchblade Scythe sprung to life and glowed White for just a moment.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Laris raises her voice at the creature, inspiring her allies and calling the spirits of ancestors to aid them, meanwhile trying to block the door as much as she is able, should invisible attackers try to make a break for it.
Mia speaks out loud looking around the room, but especially at the wall.
"Whoever you are, you're not getting out. Show yourself!"
In answer to Mia's command, a figure of stone rises from the ground, striking at Anevia.
Prepared this time, Anevia manages to fall to one side, avoiding the attack.
"Rude!"
"Eh? I didn't connect with anything there.. Are you Sure that's where it was or did it move? " Verim pulled the scythe back to reveal nothing different. He waited on confirmation from one of the casters.
Mia concentrates still.
"Verim! Try the back chair there, across from Tobongo."
" ON IT! Let's see if you can dodge this one, Im getting fired up! " A spirit rises from Verim's body, this one different however. It rises out of his back and possesses a monstrous physique. It has several horns upon it's body and sharp claws which lash out in tandem with Verim's Fury. Verim also seemed to gain a deeper hue to his skin as his state continued.
Swinging His shield first and bringing down the Switch-scythe almost in a cross-slash motion.
A rough male voice screams in pain as Verim's scythe solidly connects.
Verim feels his weapon connect and gets the desired response out of it. To the scream he shouts, " It's a Boy! Aint I lucky!? " Preparing to easily follow the person now that blood was spilled.
"That sounded kind of wrong, but you hit something. Keep it up though."
Tobongo swings his arms at the earth elemental hoping to send it back to wherever it came from.
Verim grits his teeth in a wild grin looking at the scythe as the blood dripped down the blade, " This thing is pretty good. Someone get rid of those things he keeps propin' up. I'll make sure he doesnt have the luxury of makin' anymore! Anevia get out the house! Then someone shut the door after! "
At Verim's words, Anevia hobbles out the door on her crutch. Find out who's doing this and what they've done with Irabeth.
Ducking beneath another blow, Anevia makes it safely out the door.
Maxwell hurries himself over to Verim, placing a hand on the scythe he'd been using for the duration, murmuring something beneath his breath and ignoring the situation's more fancy bits.
Upon his scythe glows an eerie felt-black darkness that crackles with red energy.
Tallina moves up to Verim and readies to heal him. The spell in her hand should not have gone off but it did.
I hate illusions.
With a screamed invocation, the wounded mage unleashes fire on Verim, seeking retribution for the ghastly wound across his chest.
With Avenia gone, the elemental turns its attention on Tobongo.
Verim, Luciana, Laris, Tallina, Mia
-------------------------------------------
Irabeth
-------------------------------------------
Maxwell, Tobongo
As the fire struck Verim, Tallina reached out to heal him.
"You better stay up Verim, who knows what else this person has up their sleeve. Tobongo, attack the earth thing!"
----Tobongo----
Tobongo only took a small dent (2 damage) thanks to the crystals growing out of his body. Now it was his turn to attack.
Verim is hit with a great beam of fire but shows little chance of slowing down. He grunts as his shield takes the most of the blow. Once Tallina gave him a little tap on the back however, his fervor grew even greater and so did his battle-lust.
" Heh, I don't plan to go down without a fight Talli! Oh? An orc? Or is it a half orc? Heh doesnt matter to me at least you are HIDING LIKE A WHELP ANYMORE! NOW LETS GIVE YOU ANOTHER CUT TO MATCH THE FIRST! HARRRRGHH! " The Spiritual Demonic creature stabs with a Shoulder Spike while Verim swings his Shield for the orcish man's jaw and brings his scythe against his chest.
While Verim held back the ambusher, Luci helped Tobongo deal with the thing he'd summoned.
With a quick step to try and hem it in more, Luci used the same momentum to add to her swing.
Mia, now seeing the half-orc, points her finger and makes the opponent clearly watch her.
"Stop it before i REALLY get angry!"
Verim strikes another solid blow against Vagog with his shield, but misses with his scythe. Tobongo flail and Luciana assault the elemental, but seem unable to strike a solid blow.
Maxwell makes it a point to try and hit the suddenly appearing man, but alas, seems to be tuckered out from using his destructive energy.
The elemental continues to pound on Tobongo, attempting slam into him with all of its might to no avail.
Vagog steps back, ranseur softly glowing as he throws a spell towards Verim.
Verim sees the image of his family being decimated by a creature. He is young and weak only holding his shield and as he rushes to try and help he sees the creature grow in size before him, yet just a the fear mounts, his body grows to that of his current self and he shoves his Shield into the phantoms throat. Verim would not be tamed.
