The Guardians of Asgaard!!!

Janick points his spear at the beast and lets out a savage growl of his own before charging it.

[Daravon_35]

Korack once again starts chanting his soothing rhythm the white firefly like spirits flitting around his hand. As he move they fizzle and pop, sparking in the air around him. "By Thor's hammer! This beast must die!" He yells as he moves, trying to help his friends survive the brutal onslaught of the beast.


His spiritual jaws continue to harass the skeletal Troll.

Spoiler

Korack will cast Cure Moderate Wounds, using his final spontaneous healer, burning one of his SpiritJaws. He'll hold the charge as he moves to the square directly to the NE of Fengr and then heal him. He should make it without any AoO, by moving NE 1, N 1, NW 2, W 1, ending up just NE of Fengr.

Fengr

Unprepared for the beast's furious retaliation the totemist falls to one knee from the force of the heavy blows. Large wounds in his chest and shoulders speak of the deadliness of the enemy's fangs and claws.
Moments later Korack's healing magic reaches the bloody warrior and as his injuries starts to fade and the blood flow stops he stands once again.
He nods his thanks quickly to Korack before he leaps towards the red beast once again, claws flashing and tearing at the opponent.
"Tyr! Lend my arm strength and sharpen my claws!" He cries as he joins the battle once again.

Speaking a short blessing to Hiemdall to guide his arrows true to the beast, he let loose with a rapid shot seeking to end the threat to his companions.

"We have them! Excellent work my brothers!"

He turned and charged towards the Skeleton.

[Cleavon]

The skeleton fights against the spiritual jaws as they wrap about its arms, grappling it. Thrand and Ford are able to make quick work of the thing, as it was only holding together by a few chipped pieces of bone.

The battlefield is quiet now, and the entrance to the lower level of King Ragthorns castle is wide and dark. As the sounds of the battle die down a few echoing sounds can be heard from below, though they don't appear to be coming closer.

The Sahaguin spell caster has a small pouch on his belt, along with a scroll case.

Pouch Contents
2 small emeralds
3 Vials of deep blue liquid

Scroll Case Contents
2 Scrolls of Cure Serious Wounds
4 Scrolls of Resurgence
1 Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds 34 Charges

[Gamblerjoe]

Ford

Ford pants as he comes down off his rage, and enters a state of fatigue. "What kind of vile demon magic was that?" He kicks a large chunk of the sahuagin spellcaster and spits on the ground. After a brief moment of catching his breath, he wipes off his falchion and sheathes it in the large scabbard on his back.

[sitandbehitski]

"The fish people of this island have certainly earned their reputation," Janick says picking through the contents of the enemy spellcasters pouch. "I think Korack and I have expended enough of our daily allotment of Asgard's gifts. We should be able to use this to regain our strength and continue into the castle." Janick holds up the wand of cure moderate wounds and (assuming there are no objections from anyone) begins using the remaining charges to heal everyone to full.

[drakir_nosslin]

Fengr

As the last of their enemies perish, Fengr falls to his knees exhausted. His body is covered in wounds and bruises and on his face is the expression of a tired, almost beaten man. Never before has he been so close to death, and it is not until the end of the battle he realizes how lucky he is to be alive.
Bowing his head, he whispers to himself.
"The warrior's soul forever will shine, with my ancestors I will raise my horn. The gleam of the sword, the welcome of our fallen brothers at dawn. But not today. Thank you Tyr, for giving me another day to fight. I will find my way to Valhall, but not today."
He is still lost in his own thoughts when Janick passes him, healing his wounds and strengthening his body, giving back the energy he lost in the fight.
"Thank you, today we proved the strength of standing as one. I will not forget it easily." Standing once again he walks over to Korack.
"And you my friend, I owe you more thanks than anyone else here, and I owe you my life. You have my gratitude, if you ever need something, do not hesitate to ask."

[Cleavon]

Thrand Moved with Fengr to Korack and clapped the spirit shaman on the shoulder with one hand, and Janick with the other.

"Without our brothers connection to the gods we would surely have perished. We've a daunting task ahead of us, down in the darkness but I think we're up to the task!"

With that Agilaz approached and his keen eyes peered down into the darkening stairway.

"There's light down there. An entryway. Sounds seem to be coming from there. Anyone want to go first?"

[Daravon_35]

Korack gasped for breath as the last of the creatures fell. "Thank the gods in deed. I thought we were done for there a couple of times." As the others pick through the corpses and discover what they can, he goes around and administers what healing he can with his wand of lesser vigor.

Upon hearing Agilaz's question, Korack falls in line behind the other more sturdy members and nods, as if saying, "After you."

[drakir_nosslin]

Fengr

Upon hearing Agilaz's question Fengr moves forward.
"I can take point, I see fairly well in darkness and I want to be close to the enemies anyway."
With that said he starts descending.

As Fengr comes down the stairs, the moss clinging to the walls of the ancient dungeon glows with an eerie light. It makes the surroundings easy to see, and inside the room are several Sahaguin, muttering about being left to guard the entrance. Two carry Tridents gripped in both hands, and one behind them carries the fetishes of their dark gods.

Fengr

With a roar Fengr does what he always does and charges the enemy. This time it is the one in the back with the fetish that is the totemist's target.

Thrand and Janicks charge of the Sahaguin warrior in front of them leaves the thing in a mangled heap, carelessly bounced off the wall by Thrands powerful blows.

Fords charge against his own Sahaguin warrior leaves the thing in very bad shape, his Falchion splitting the fishman wide down the chest, its grip on its trident loosening and growing slack, but it still has some fight left in it.

The Sahaguin Cleric is badly wounded from Agilaz arrows and Fengrs claws, but he decides to tempt fate in a gamble to get some revenge on Fengr.

Sahaguin

The Sahaguin Cleric moves away from Fengr, provoking an Attack of Opportunity from the Totemist. After which he holds a hand out and a ray of swirling blackness springs out at Fengr.

The final sahaguin falls under Fords falchion blade, and as the din of combat fades you can hear several things. From the south there are gurgling sahaguin voices, though they do not seem to be coming any closer, in fact they seem to be growing further away.

From the east you hear a vaguely human voice, and the soft rattling of chains, muted by the distance.

[Daravon_35]

"Glad those fishmen fell easier then the one's outside." Korack remarks as he watches the others clean their blades of fish guts and blood.

His white eyes scan the room as he walks to catch up with the others. "Sounds as if we're not the only non fishmen down here, perhaps a prisoner from one of the earlier expeditions?" He commends, upon hearing the voice.

[Gamblerjoe]

Ford

"You think its a person? Im with Korack, we should check it out."
