Turn 38
[2]
Alright, everyone, let's maybe take a bit of rest. You especially, Dennis, that blast was not kind to you. - wanderer said and sat on the floor, resting.
[1]
It's nice to see other faces here. - Serrana said, introducing herself afterwards. She sat on the floor beside Aaron and tried to set a prayer, but all the dark energy in surrounding area prevented it. She feels that it'd be impossible to pray for a little while.
[6]
Resting sounds well. - exorcist said, resting well and recovering her energy. She felt that previous problems with praying should be gone now.
[1]
You're welcome, mage. I take payment in gold and spells. - Dennis joked and lied on the ground. As he was resting, he heard a strange voice in his head.
Sacrificing yerself for a lady, are we? - the voice sounded just like him, though different. Kinda... depraved.
Ye must have always had something drawing ye to those consecrated maidens. Ye think she is good material for giving birht to yer royal children, Duke of the Heights? Me thinks she will make a fine hooker! - the voice then laughed mockingly. Dennis thought that something was changing in him. His faith felt smaller now, but there was something different growing in him.
[2]
Well, I'm reasonably unharmed, lets see what the others are doing. Naablvat, come with me. - Lysander said and with Naablvat, left to the courtyard. They couldn't see any traces of the group anywhere.
[6]
We survived? - Vivian asked surprised, then moved after Lysander. On the way she thought about what she experienced in the keep and that with limited ingredients, alchemy can't save her in every situation. She reminded herself moves of undead soldiers and darkfallen then analysed them in her head, then thought about applying them to rapier combat. Defensive Fighter - her own unique combat style.
[1] Following Lysander towards courtyard, she strayed a bit to the side where several armored corpses were lying on the ground. She noticed that one of them had something silver on it's neck. A pendant of some kind, shaped like a lizard. She kneeled upon the corpse and touched it, but then the corpse awakened and with swift move grabbed her neck!
MY AMULET! - the undead knight shouted then made a long, horrifying howl!
[Pguhyuh: 2, Maelstorm: 1] Demonologist opened his tome and reminded himself a chant from torn manuscript, then sent several flame waves at demon lord. It seems that Maelstorm was fully immune to fire based damaged, but at least the wave stunlocked him for a bit longer.
[5] Then Pguhyuh asked Smoke if he was fine, using their telepatic bond.
I'm alright, though I'm of no use in this combat. I'm unable to hurt a demon lord. - the demon replied.
[Reynald: 5, Maelstorm: 3] Inquisitor lunged at the demon lord and quickly climbed up on it, then struck Maelstorm at it's head with a mighty skullcrusher, keeping the demon stunned!
[Seymour: 4, Maelstorm: 4] God of War charged at demon lord, but it still was able to defend itself from the attack, catching the battle axe and pushing Seymour back.
[Lyirah: 3, Maelstorm: 2] Demigoddess focused and sent several amethyst arrows at demon lord, though only few of them hit, tiny energetical charges coming out of it's wounds.
[4] Alexander felt a sudden rush of faith!
[Alexander: 5, Zombie: 1] Then peasant wildly charged at zombie, bashing it with his slingshot several times until he caved in zombie's skull!
[Sightless Ghatzu: 4, Zombie: 1] The sightless man clenched his left fist and a long blade of dark energy protruded from it, then he sliced the zombie into tiny pieces!
Maelstorm: -30 HP, -30 HP, Stunlock [240/512]
Zombies: Dead
Undead Knights: [80/80]
Dennis: Rested, -1 Faith, +1 Evil
Aaron: Rested
Reynald: -5 HP, +1 Evil
Alexander: Faith Boost, +1 kill
Serrana: Well Rested
OOC
Stunlock prevents enemy from taking any action. Defense rolls still apply, but only if the roll is equal or higher than attack roll. It seems that the undead knight would have to be killed second time. Somehow I forgot to add it to OP when it was killed, so I'll fill that gap in after updating character sheets.
I gave Vivian Defensive Fighter skill. You don't need skills for chain reactions - good rolls and enough damage will suffice.
Waiting for Serrana's new skill.
Also, decided to put more use into Faith and Evil system. Hope EP will like it.... I'll still have to fill in some gaps in the system.
