Turn 41
We are both a bit beaten up, do ya think its time for a break from beating the undead to death? - Alexander asked, tired after all those zombie encounters.
[4]
Yeah, I guess. It'd be good to rest before moving on. Unavented Cathedral won't suddenly go away in our sleep! - Ghatzu said, taking a seat on the ground.
[1] Alexander took a nap, but he had a nightmare of his family being killed by a horned demon and woke up screaming!
[5 +1]
Seymour is gone. This does not bode well for our travels, as the dark cathedral and it's ruler will know where we are for sure. Still, we are alive, and more importantly we have triumphed in the face of adversity. - Reynald said then checked wounds of everyone. Pguhyuh and Smoke were quite wounded by the dark nova. Inquisitor tended to their wounds, then moved closer to examine arcane ember. Seeing that, Pguhyuh shouted:
Wait, don't touch anything. Remember who is the demon expert here. - and ran up to stop him.
[Pguhyuh: 2 +1, Reynald: 2 +1, Smoke: 2] Demonologist struggled with inquisitor to take the ember, but after a while it seemed that no one would claim those embers, so Pguhyuh called Smoke to help, which didn't help at all.
[Reynald: 6 +1, Pguhyuh: 5 +1] Finally inquisitor gathered enough strenght to throw demonologist away, but he thrown Pguhyuh towards the ember instead and he quickly grabbed it!
[4 +1] The wild, primal arcane energy pulsated gently in Pguhyuh's hands, as if it not only allowed him to harness it's power, but urged him to do so.
Are you done with that? I suggest resting before moving onwards. We don't know if anything lurks in those passages, but if something is coming towards us right now, let's better prepare for it. - demigoddess said, trying to stop unneccessary arguments.
[2 +2] Aaron decided to regroup with others and found them by the entrance.
Well, that's done. I think we should be checkin' the mausoleum next. All agreed? - Dennis said, struggling a bit to pull the knight's head off his pitchfork and discarding the perforated cranium before turning to his allies.
Agreed. - alchemist replied. Without any words, Serrana decided to go with them.
[5] The group moved on towards the spot from which darkfallen appeared, following a route through whole east wing and finally finding stairs leading downwards. Further ahead, they cuold see dungeon entrance, with it's gate literally torn off hinges.
[1]
What, was that? - Lysander asked, and with Naablvat decided to look for a way upstairs. There were no stairs in the entry hall, so they decided to check in throne room for any possible ways. There indeed were stairs leading up, but as Lysander approached it, something smashed through the ceiling. It was a huge stone gargoyle with enormous spear, either a strange demonic form or a dark spirit able to animate constructs!
Gargoyle: [120/120]
Aaron: 3 turns for dragon form to end
Pguhyuh: Received arcane ember, 10 HP restored by Reynald
Alexander: Rested, -1 Faith
OOC
Tiruin didn't post an action, so I auto-pilotted his character this time....
