"I had no idea they'd be so horrid." Tulip whispers to Atia.
Mustering up her courage, she pointed a finger at the orc and closed her eyes. A small ray of fire leapt from her finger.
The ray struck the earth besides the orc and fizzled out.
Just die already!
Vahn yells out as he swings his sword at the stubborn orc.
ATTACK:
DAMAGE:
Alanthian advances on the remaining orc and attacks.
Attack:
Damage:
Tulip's ray of fire strikes the ground next to the orc's feet.
The orc takes a swing at Vahn.
The orc swings wide. Vahn's return attack also misses the mark, but Alan's blow lands. The orc falls to the ground, and dissipates along with it's fallen comrades. Jan gets up looking a little confused, but no worse for wear.
"What in the Blue Blazes?"
What the hell...
Vahn mutters as he slides his great sword back into it's sheath and walks back over to his bow.
PERCEPTION:
He looks around while putting a new arrow to his bow string.
With, his short swords out, Alanthian slowly turns around, scanning the area looking for anything out of the ordinary.
Disapering orc bodies, damage that disapeares, this is not normal.Someone or something is out there.
Perception:
You spot a small pile of ashes and smell the telltale signs of pipe smoke. you realize the town wizard must have set this trap as a test.
Alanthian snarls in frustration,"Testing us. See right there is pipe ash from the town's wizard where he must have sat while setting all of this up."Alanthian flips his short swords and slams them back in thier sheaths.
Tulip is near tears. "That can't be!" She insists. "Poor Jan...how could they kill him if it were...if it were all just a test?"
She hurries forward and kneels beside the dwarf's unmoving form, small tears falling onto his shoulder.
More like he was having some fun at our expense. When we get back to town I'd like to have a talk with him.
Vahn mutters darkly as he puts away his bow.
[ooc]Cough. :)
[ooc]Cough. :)
Tulip hurries over to Jan. "Are you all right? How do you feel?"
Onsal scowls. "Those people really are insane."
He walks over to Jan. "Do you need healing, friend dwarf?"
For once there is something we agree on Onsal.
Vahn says as he walks over to Atia.
Are you ok after all that?
"I just don't understand. Why would they be so cruel? Those terrible things...it must have hurt dreadfully when they struck."
Tulip's ordinarily timid expression hardens a little to what might almost be anger. "Was there some way we could have guessed the beasts weren't what they seem?"
Even as she said it, she thought of what little she knew on the subject of such things.
Alanthian reshoulders his pack and looks towards the others."Well, we might as well keep moving. Maybe they wont deem it necisary to "attack" us again."
I agree that would probably be best.
Vahn says with a quick glance around almost as if expecting another trick.
So what hit points is Jan on? I'm a bit lost. No one stabalised him yet?
Tulip sighs as she musters her courage. "I guess we might as well go through with this."
Yes, that would probably be best.
Vahn says quietly as he draws a long thin bladed dagger twirling it across his hand weaving it through his fingers as he thinks.
What would be the purpose of such a test? Was it to see if we would run in fear?
Jan gets up, groaning as he realises there are no wounds and shakes his head.
"Damn illusions. I swear when we find the wizard I'll ring his bloody neck!" he sighs, hefting up his weapon and looking to everyone with a smile "Ah am okey. Illusion magic, bah!" he seems generally disgrunted at the moment for being fooled and knocked down by an illusion.
Vahn begins to head in the direction of the crypt bow drawn arrow nocked ready for anything that might show up.
Still here!
Well.......guess that's it?
