19th Fourth Quarter 998
Evening
Tyr Loknar
[Mercenary: 3, Tyr: 6, Llathandril: 5] The hired blade charged at Tyr, trying to stab him at the chest. However, he managed to dodge out, but tripping on a chair he fell and hit the floor. Alchemist hastily thrown a flask at the mercenary and his gear dissolved in a blink of an eye!
[Tyr: 2, Llathandril: 5, Mercenary: 4] Tyr tried to scramble away from incoming thug but he was still stunned. Alchemist reacted quickly and pushed the man away from Loknar.
[Llathandril: 4, Mercenary: 5, Tyr: 6] Tyr finally got up from the ground and with alchemist they together lunged at the mercenary, but he jumped away. Tyr slammed at Llathandril and knocked him to the ground.
Tyr lost 2 HP, bruised
Llathandtil lost 3 HP, bruised
Llathandril 11/14
Tyr: 20/22
Euzaroch
KALLUN! BACK UP! I'm about to do something very dangerous... - Euzaroch shouted getting up from the ground, smiling due to somewhat pleasureable sensation of broken bones.
[Euzaroch: 4, Kallun: 4, Death Lord: 1] He took a vial of golden liquid out of his equipment, aimed it and thrown perfectly at the death lord. Sorcerer retreated just in time, as the vial hit it's bone armor and splashed the liquid all over the undead. Firewater instantly turned ablaze, the death lord was screaming maddeningly!
[Kallun: 4, Death Lord: 3, Euzaroch: 6] It wasn't enough to kill it, but the fire weakened the creature considerably. When it was trying to put out the flames, sorcerer and his companion both attacked - Kallun with fists and Euzaroch with sword. The latter got slight burn wounds, but it's powerful slash connected nicely and split monster's bone armor in half!
[Death Lord: 2, Euzaroch: 6, Kallun: 1] The death lord was losing all it's remaining strenght. It was just one strong stab from death. Euzaroch jumped back and then ran towards the falling on it's knees death lord, jumping when getting just close and stabbing Life Leech through it's head. The undead abomination exploded and sorcerer took most of the force of explosion, which thrown him away!
Destruction of death lord healed all Euzaroch's and Kallun's wounds and strenghtened Life Leech, but two bonelords arisen from the charred corpse!
Death Lord lost 29 HP (24 in firewater attack [12 per combat turn] and 5 in sword attacks). Glossary entry added.
Life Leech +12 AR
Vrillith
That was...scary. - Vrillith mumbled out. He decided to leave the ruined entrance and check the area with sunrise banner.
[5] He reached the hill rather quickly and looking around saw a few abandoned graveyards and patches of charred ground. There was a tall, dilapidated tower in the distance, and an old man with long, gray beard and wearing a dark coat approaching. Vrillith waited for him to come.
Ah, another one of those sunlight brothers seeking the ultimate challenge? - he said as he approached Vril, smirking.
What challenge? I don't know what is this place, I'm here to help other knights. Do you know where they could've gone? - Vril asked, taking a seat on an ashen tree log.
[2]
I'm sorry to make you worried, but I have no idea where they could've gone. The tower in the distance seems a plausible option, but if so, they're already dead... - he replied, pointing at the ruined tower.
Dead? What's living there? - Vrillith inquired.
[3]
It's not living. It's very nature prevents it from being ever alive. If you wish to know more before going for a sure peril, I'll stay here. - the old man said, taking a seat on the log beside Vril.
Deikos of High Rock
[5] Deikos entered the city of High Rock and after asking for some directions, he found local alchemist. It felt strange that despite living for years near this city, he didn't knew where this place was. He entered the building just before a tall, lanky man in a robe was about to close it.
Good evening! I want to ask about this gem. I found it on the road to the city. - Deikos greeted the man then took the black gem from his sack.
[1]
That's.... that's.... - the man seemed frightened by the gem.
You'd better leave now... - he said, moving with Deikos towards doorway.
What? What's wrong with it? - the knight asked.
[1]
This is.... well, it's closed already! Goodbye! - the alchemist pushed Deikos out of the building and closed the doors tight. Knight-errant heard a sigh of relief coming from the house afterwards.
Erin Blood
What to do what to do..... - Erin repeated in her mind. She wanted to become an apprentice of a wizard - these powerful spellcasters of legends. But the job of guardian in Mercantile Triangle's treasury seemed profitable...
[1] Strolling around the market and craftsmen districts she couldn't find any wizards. It seemed that the legends weren't true at all, but she knew that magic somewhat exists. Erin always had some strange, mystical ability to feel it. When it darkened around the city's streets, someone approached her and said:
What a woman such as yourself is doing here all alone? - grabbing a dagger and laughing.
[Thug: 5, Erin: 6] Suddenly Erin noticed a glowing distortion just close to the outlaw. It looked like the man couldn't see it. When he lunged at her with the dagger, she dodged and grasped it. Numerous thunders moved through her hand, charging it with energy and then shot out from her fingers in a bright flash that temporarily blinded her enemy! It hurt her though, she's got a few burns on her hand.
[Erin: 4, Thug: 3 -1] Then she drawn her curved sword and with one swift slash, she slit the bandit's throat!
Erin lost 2 HP and dealt 18 damage.
Thug lost 12 HP, throat slit. Glossary entry added.
