The Last Paladin IC (Frosty)

[Maquise]

The troglodyte before you is barely standing, but nonetheless resists your attempt to push through.

"I've healed Grembler!" Lyanna shouts. Berich lands another blow on Davkas.

Karrin slashes at the trogs. If she fells one, she'll start on the other as well after a 5-ft step south. "Grembler, you're doing great! Can you put Davkas to sleep or otherwise disable him?"

"I can do this," Grembler says, casting a hex upon Davkas, weakening his ability to fight.

You cut down the troglodyte in front of you, and swing at the one beside it. It ducks, and swings at you. Its swing goes wild, and it smashes a claw upon the wall. The one behind it moves to assist, but Lyanna moves to aid you.

Davkas and Berich continue to struggle. Davkas is weakening.

Karrin continues swinging mightily, trying to cut through the horde of trogs. "If you can, Grember, keep Davkas weak and heal Berich at the same time." Again, as quickly as she fells one, she steps forward to meet the next one!

You cut down another troglodyte, only for the one behind it to block your blow. Davkas knocks Berich out; Grembler hurriedly moves to heal him. Lyanna runs up to aid Grembler. The ritual chanting grows more frantic by the second.

the paladin tires, and as much as she would like to turn back to help the others, if some demon is summoned they'd all be in greater trouble. "Just...one...more...*huff*" She stabs forward desperately, trying to get a killing blow in one hit and then move forward.

[Maquise]

You dash towards the waiting door, stepping over the body of the dead troglodyte. Behind you, your allies succeed in subduing Davkas.

You see a small room on the other side of the door. There is a shallow pit with bodies, some shelves with objects, but your attention is focused on the two troglodytes, baring their teeth at you. Accompanying them is a pair of monitor lizards, equally savage.

[Frosty]

Does Karrin know anything about Monitor Lizards and how dangerous they are?

[Maquise]

(You do not have ranks in Knowledge: Nature)

"I'm in! Let's finish them off!" Even though she's outumbered, she knows she must press forward to try to prevent the ritual from finishing. The paladin approaches the nearest chanting enemy and attacks (or just the nearest enemy if none of them are chanting).

[Maquise]

As you attack, the troglodytes strike at you with their clubs. One manages land a blow.

Take 4 damage.

You swing your sword down, cutting a deep gash into one of the troglodytes. From the east, you can hear the chanting reaching an almost mad crescendo. Lyanna finishes off the slashed troglodyte.

[Maquise]

The troglodyte stands firm, and one of the lizards bites you. You feel poison in the wound, but resist it. Grembler hexes the trog, weakening its defenses.

Take 4 damage.

"The chanting is coming from the east. The ritual is nearly finished!" exclaims Lyanna.

[Frosty]

Is there a passageway east visible?

[Maquise]

(J24 is an archway. There is indication that a curtain once hung there, but it is gone now.)

(Also, I am officially moving the game to a new thread. We start up again here.)
