[ooc]As long as the last ghoul is down Badru will start healing people starting with the most critical (ie Roylenna & Ka'kara). I have four left @ 1d6 a piece if people want to roll it for themselves. Otherwise Badru will make sure all ghouls are dead before healing people.[\ooc]
Seeing the towering barbarian stagger under the assault of the ghouls Badru rushes to her side. He puts his hands her her side and lets the power of his faith flow into her healing her.
Seeing that his efforts to scare away the undead failed epically Badru slashes at the nearest ghoul.
Brandishing his shield like a search beacon Badru shines his light into the faces of any charging ghouls. With a mighty battle roar he attempts to demoralize any remaining ghouls.
Badru crinkles his nose at the fetid waves of odors coming off the ghouls. Shaking his head as nausea threatens to overcome him, he whispers a brief prayer to Saranrae under his breath and steels his stomach against the stench. He steps quickly up to the oncoming ghoul and swipes at it with his scimitar. Unfortunately he miss judges the creatures movements and barely cuts it.
Nodding in agreement with Ka'kara Badru lays a hand on her shoulder, "May Saranrae lighten your burden and ease your pains my warrior sister." "Lyria can you sense what might be out there?"
Listening carefully for signs of approaching enemies, Badru takes his time looking around the cave. "Curse this vile darkness. Where does it emanate from?"
Badru watches Ka'kara slice through the undead as they approach, waiting for the proper time to strike. Badru scans the back of the cave for anything that might be directing the undead.
Glancing over at the paladin she says with a good natured laugh, [b]"Hey Badru, you have some catching up to do. I think I put down twice as many as you did on that last run." She takes another long draw from her tankard. "Oh I am quite sure you will have bested me if this were a contest," he says smiling over his mug. "Besides much more drink and I'll be under the table for certain!" Badru turns to the Lyria,"We have not yet gotten very far into the cave. Master Mahaffy noticed some form of intelligent creatures further back in the cave. We do not know what kind but we came back to the to strategize a bit before going back in." Seeing Ka'kara order another round of drinks he endeavors to finish his before they get to the table.
"I would hate to turn away from such an obvious evil as that that resides in the cave. They can easily terrorize the surrounding countryside and I simply can't turn my back on that. Perhaps with some thought we can devise a plan that will maximize our chances." Looking at Roylenna,"and I have some small talent in healing should it come to that."
The next question is, where do you go now?
Seeing yet another zombie step up where he had just feld one Badru makes an overhead slashing cut at the thing before falling back to the doors. He calls out as he steps through the door,"Come on! Before they surround you!"
After felling the shambling thing that used to be a ogre, Badru looks to see how his comrades are fairing struck from the dark by two more zombies. He turns to face them taking a strategic step to the side slashing at the thing before him.
Keeping his shield up to stave off any forthcoming blow from the udead ogre Badru dances forward and slashes the things leg hoping to disable it. Before the ogre gets a chance to strike back Badru retreats to the pillar behind him.
Edit: BT: Spoiler: I'm afraid Manai has opted out of the game. She told me she was going to let you know, don't know why she didn't
"Stay behind me Artival. You don't want these things to get ahold of you."
BT: Spoiler:
Any chance Thorak can be resurrected at some point?
Badru checks his gear for the third time before heading to the mouth of the cave. He stands at the entrance awaiting the others before heading in, shield and scimitar at the ready.
Happy New Year everyone! May this year be better than the last :)
Finishing his breakfast with the others Badru listens quietly and intently to Roylenna's tale. When she finishes her tale he smiles softly, "Ka'kara is right little one. Death is merely the beginning of a new path. One which we must all take in time. Your friends are under the protective gaze of Saranrae. She will watch over them until such time when we rejoin them." Badru stands up from the table and stretches a bit. Eyes twinkling at the thought of the adventure ahead, "Now let's gear up and make these walking dead know that you can't take the life of one of Roylenna's friends without consequence!"
Leaving his new found camrades to play vulture over the recently deceased Badru approaches Roylenna. Keeping his voice low so as not to be over heard, Spoiler: "What do you know of the veiled woman? She seems to have been unsettled by this whole encounter. And what was that language she was uttering? I've never heard the like before."
After examining the bodies Badru turns to Chip,"Where were you headed when you were attacked?"
"Artival is it? Let me take a look at you," Badru examines the wound on Artival's back. "Doesn't appear to be any real damage." Laying hands on Artival's back Badru murmurs a prayre to Saranrae. With a quick look at Manai he smiles at Artival,"And next time keep an eye on your back." "And how about you little one? Head still hurt?" He passes a hand over Roylenna's head whispering to Saranrae. Moving over to where Rhianna is talking to the survivor, "Rhianna? Are you ok?" He touches her shoulder lightly.
Moving swiftly so that he is on the other side the creature from Ka'kara and the others Badru does his best to distract it. Coming in for a quick swipe at its posterior but only grazes the thing. "We have to surround it! Hit it from all sides! Keep it off balance!"
After clearing his head a bit Badru raises his shield and draws his scimitar as he circles around the moth. Timing his strike with the beat of the creatures wings he drives in with a mighty roar attempting to pierce its side.
Roylenna's arm brushes Badru's shoulder as she succumbs to the droning wings of the great mothlike creature. He turns towards Manai as she also succumbs. Tensing for the attack that is sure to come he stares at the creature and is drawn in to the hypnotic pattern of its wings, the soothing sound of there gentle beating....
Looking back at High Priest Thaban with what looks like displeasure at the abrupt way everyone is being handled Badru says,"Then we will take our leave." "Rhianna is the High Priest always this... poor in dealing with people? I haven't had time to really get to know him yet having only just arrived here." While talking over the High Priests lack a civility with Rhianna, Badru helps Tika and Roylenna up onto his horse. Scratching the horse behind the ears,"Take care Khaleed. Try not to knock them off like the last two!" He smiles and winks at those nearby.
Badru:** spoiler omitted ** BT: Spoiler:
Knowledge(religion) I would probably be here researching (or trying to research) a symbol that was found that might be a clue to Imrans origin. Imran is the young man from my background write up. As far as where Badru is from I guess anywhere is ok. I was looking for something a little more middle-eastern flavor but Tharbria is ok if it's easier for you. Are there any largish cities up there? If so what might their names be? "Since everyone is introducing themselves it would rude for me to due otherwise. My name is Badru Akhensaranrae which in the common tongue would mean 'The Eye of Night and the Blessed of Saranrae." He gives a wry smile,"My parents had high hopes for me it would seem." Turning to Rhianna,"May I speak with you a moment?"
BT:
Spoiler:
What do I know of these people and of High Priest Thaban? Badru has been traveling a great distance and stopping at a temple of Saranrae is nothing out of the ordinary, but how long have I been here? A dark man in red scale armor stands in the corner looking over the gathering of adventurers with interest.
Thalyn here. This is my Paladin. Let me know what you think.
Seeing that the enlarged man is bleeding freely from several wounds Badru pulls a simple looking symbol from beneath his robes. Holding it high he moves closer to the large sword wielding man and speaks in a clear voice,"Nekhen!"
Badru moves forward to defend the man on the ground hacking at goblins as he goes. With both hands gripping his sword tightly he swings at any goblins that get in his way.
Badru hearing the screaming runs towards the new commotion. With sword drawn he surveys the before acting.
Badru draws his sword and deftly swings it at the neck of the goblin in front of him removing it's head in one clean stroke! He looks around to see if there are any left. If there are none left Badru walks around seeing to the injured.
Badru attempts to move the crowd back away from the fighting as he draws his holy symbol from beneath his robes. In a clear voice he gives a quick prayer to Iomedae asking her to bless those around him in combatting the goblins.
Badru moves through the crowd to get a better look at what all the commotion is about. |
