"Well, now. That was interesting. Let's free these people, and escort them to safety... wherever that is." He then makes sure his robes and all were immaculate, as always. At this time, just 'cause, Artemis tries to recall if he knew anything about Krant.
”Sure it does, you moronic imbecile. Even if it does, you are running out of minions, and I am not running out of magic. Or teeth. ” he gives a big, toothy grin.
Artemis moves up and casts electric arc on Krant and #3.
Artemis finally finishes his magic missile spell, dealing 12 to the necromancer
Artemis howls in pain from his life force being ripped away.
Artemis casts shield and then moves up to the curtain, ripping it aside.
Artemis disappears again, only to end up next to #3, as he strikes with his fist.
He then follows up with another first and then casts shield.
"Grr..."
Artemis growls loudly as the spear hits, but this doesn't stop him in his attack! "Someone finish this one! Don't let them heal it!"
Artemis Strides up to #2, grinning. He swings his fist at the skeletal knight while casting telekinetic projectile!
Artemis casts a spell, hoping that not moving to get a clear shot doesn't hurt him. His spell launches a rock at #5!
Unfortunately, the rock goes wide, but Artemis then enters his arcane cascade stance.
Artemis shrugs, "As you say." He then notices the state of his robes and casts prestidigitation, and then looks quickly at the spellbook.
"Ah, interesting. I'll take a look at that. "I am concerned Nar, that these poor folks will be forced into undead servitude. Perhaps we should fetch them, and their belongings, out. Then we can give them a proper burial by fire, to protect them against that fate."
"Well, this is unfortunate. I think that we should find a way to get them back outside, but I think we'll need a funeral pyre so that these folks aren't forced to rise again as undead." He starts looking around, using detect magic. Then starts pulling bodies and belongings out of the nastiness.
Artemis moves around to flank with the smaller of the two, because he can reach there.
He then casts shield.
"Ok, electricity doesn't work."
Artemis grumbles about his robes, and lashes out with an electric arc between the two owl things.
He then enters his arcane stance, charged with electricity.
”Ouch. That hurt me almost as much as it hurt them. Hopefully we can take the time to heal up. Those hordes are nasty. ”
Content to stay in his situation, he focuses for a moment to recover his spell strike, and attacks again He then once more launches an attack of severed claws and his dagger.
Artemis avoids the worst of the damage, for now.
"Grr... how did this happen?" He draws his dagger, slashing as he casts telekinetic projectile, grabbing zombie claws to slash.
"Let's keep going. Makes sense to me."
"Oh, great. They are definitely going to mess up my robes." He casts ray of frost at #1, since it seems he can see it the best.
He then enters arcane cascade.
After resting, Artemis thinks out loud, "We might out to go down those tunnels, even if they'll mess up my lovely robes. There may still be people alive down there!"
This time Artemis isn't so lucky, and is unable to dodge the blows of the zombies. He growls, and disappears, reappearing opposite of #2 from Graaxyn.
However, luck is not on his side.
Artemis deftly dodges the massed shamblers feeble attempts to foul his clothing.
Artemis takes advantage of the broken glass and uses it while biting to attack horde #1!
He steps and spits as the undead flesh is disgusting! "Phwaw! Gross!"
Artemis judges that someone will have fixed the door and starts reinforcing the door to the north.
He then turns his efforts to the window to the south, next to the trapped door.
Artemis gets to work on the destroyed window, but not before cleaning himself up a bit.
”You all get patched up. Guess we are sleeping in the morning. Let’s reinforce what we can.”
Artemis disappears, moving in with his dimensional assault, in before trying his trick a second time..he simultaneously slashes with his war razor at the large undead.
He then casts electric arc hoping to finish the undead.
Artemis decides that it is time for action, and Steps in to attack shambles #5. He goes all magus on the undead with by launching a shard of glass at the zombie while slashing with his dagger!
Or, he would, if he didn’t trip on Too-tuk coming by…
"Oh, they will definitely foul my robes." whines Artemis, who proceeds to cast everyone's favorite cantrip, electric arc on the largest two targets.
He then enters into his arcane cascade.
"Let's get that last door fixed." says Artemis as he once more pulls out the tools.
The door seems to be in more pieces than he expected. Then, Artemis drops the hammer he was repairing the frame with, and launches into an involved diatribe, in Gnoll, about the hammer's heritage, parents, and sometime about the blacksmith who forged it.
While Nar doesn't actually help, somehow he inspires Artemis to actually get dirty. Maybe it was that he doesn't much care for religious types, or maybe it was that he was that worried about the undead coming in. To him it didn't matter. He just finished the job.
Artemis grumbles "We should have started this hours ago." He starts working on reinforcing the southern entrance. He starts out more worried about damaging his clothes, then realizes what the undead will do if they get in!
He then moves on to reinforce the northern door. It proves a little difficult.
He then realizes the pitons on are on the outside! He pulls out his crowbar and removes the pitons. "Or we just use the doors."
"Grr... those charred timbers are going to soil my nice clothes, aren't they?" Artemis assesses the stability of the structure, and whether then can get in between the burned out walls structures.
I'll Gen Con bound Tuesday afternoon, back Monday Aug 8th (evening) likely few if any posts from me in that time
"I have been known to tinker."
”That might be. None of us knows our fate, but perhaps we have a few tricks up our sleeve. ” says Artemis, taking care not to grin to broadly. ”Do you mind if we take some precautions here? And would you like to be cleaned up a bit? I know a spell…”
"Ok, calm down. If we were one of THEM we wouldn't be talking to you right now, we'd be trying to eat you. Sorry to be blunt, but it is true. And he is just a cat. Cats are gross. Nothing much we can do about it."
Artemis moves in, cautiously, and says, "Hello?"
"I think that we should use some caution, and set up our defenses first. We are likely going to be her for a while, and we don't want what happened to these people to happen to us. "I vote for going to Warland's Yard, and fortifying the heck out of it."
"Zher'myeh, maybe you shouldn't wear that hat. We all know your ego is large enough already." "Why would anyone waste perfectly good arrows on someone that was already dead?" wonders Artemis out loud. "Unless, of course, the body rose up again as undead?"
”Looks like Warlands Yard is our best bet. Seems the most defensible. ”
Artemis starts using prestidigitation generously to clean off the foulness from the coinage. "Zher'myeh, would you mind handling the safe? Otherwise, I may have to try burning through it with acid."
"I agree that we should get at least one place fortified."
"We can use the empty crates to create bars for the doors, as well as other temporary barricades. We should do so before nightfall. "I suspect that will get attacked after dark, so perhaps we should cut our day a little short, and allow some to get some sleep, while others continue the preprarations?"
"Huh. Didn't think it would be that easy." marvels Artemis. "Why were they all packed in here. And can someone open a window?"
"Grrr... can't get in." growls Artemis. He then opts for electric arc, hitting #1 and #2.
"Grrr... that lacks... style." He then enters his arcane cascade.
"Well, at least there are some supplies. I am going to guess we'll be here for a while... we should pick a house that we can use as a base. One that is intact enough that we can use the wood and nails to barricade ourselves in, if needed. That inn looks promising. We can leave the bulk supplies here for now, and then transport them when needed. " Artemis checks out the cloth to see if it is of any value before grabbing a vial of alchemist's fire.
Artemis follows, trying to stay at least reasonably clean
