The Door to Heaven (IC)

There a re several boxes and things in front of the chanters but they are definitely in the same room.

[SilentNight]

Svendran shakes his head, frowning "Neck's too small a target, aim for the chest, you'll get the heart or a lung. Shall we?" With that he cracks a smile and whispers a prayer over his longsword.

As you you go into the room, the first thing you notice is that the smell changes from the the horrid stench of raw sewage to the sweet scent of vanilla. The room is dimly lit. Over the crates you can see a horrible scene. A ring of seven pikes come up out of the floor. Five of them have children impaled on them, their blood going into a shallow pool under them. Five cultists stand around the ring, one chanting in Infernal, one in Abyssal, and another in Celestial. On a raised platform behind a pike with no one on it, stand a bald, beardless dwarf. He is holding a small screaming girl. as the chanting grows louder, he fits her on the pike and shoves her down on it. The screaming stops. In the corner of the chamber is a cage where a small boy is crying. No one has noticed you.

I'm not completely sure how sickness works, so correct me if I'm wrong. I think Kayleen isn't sick anymore.

Yeah, I think she's fine

Svendran crouches down, taking the moment to invoke the Red Knight's blessing on his allies. ((Casts Bless everyone gets a +1 on attack and fear saves.))

[AetherFox]

Not saying much since the last encounter with the spider, Hlethiuk notices the chanters and draws his bow. Taking aim at the Celestial chanter, he knocks an arrow and fires.

Hlethiuk's arrow soars over the cultist's head and they all look up to see Kayleen and the wolf charging them. The Dwarf yells, "We have been discovered! Fight these vermin off while I alert our brothers abroad!" He takes off down a hallway as the other cultists block Kayleen's path.

You forgot Initiative

Svendren runs straight through the cultists as they try to block him and takes after the leader who is still running down the hall. Hlethiuk's arrow flies true and strikes one in the shoulder, wounding but not killing him. The dwarf turns back on Svendren and shouts "You and your ilk shall not stop me from completing my work!" He hums a lullaby, and tosses a rose petal at him. It sticks to Svendren's chest.

Back in the chamber, the cultists are busy fighting. The one that was struck by the arrow, creats a shimmering shield around himself. One casts a spell that makes you all feel uneasy inside.

Bah. Wimpiest barbarian I've ever played! Sickened, frightened and hasn't killed anything yet!

Anyway -- how many rounds is the Cause Fear effect?

[An Enemy Spy]

Svendren falls to the ground fast asleep. Hlethiuk runs toward him but can't get there because of the men in his way. Shagga and his summoned wolf miss their targets, but the normal wolf doesn't, Tearing the man's throat out. The dwarf runs down the hall and dissapears. The rest of the cultists draw Krises. The one with the magic kris swipes at Kayleen. He misses. One rushes over to the wolf ((by the way, does it have a name?)) and also misses. The one fighting Shagga has his kris simply bounce off his armor. The one fighting the summoned wolf also misses. Kayleen runs back to the hole but finds only a solid wall.

Dang. I got just godawful rolls! Kayleen is afraid for 4 rounds and Svendren is out for five minutes. One bad guy is dead.

[KingRexII]

Like a caged dog, Kayleen follows her instincts and strikes out from her trapped position. She charges the enemy farthest from the caster of the Cause Fear spell.

I'm using the 'if unable to flee, it may fight' clause to justify the above action. If this isn't a valid choice while 'Frightened', Kayleen will just set a Readied Action to attack any enemy that comes within striking distance. In either case, use the rolls below.

No power attack

Hlethiuk's ploy works, but his attack seems to have no effect against the man. Shagga and the wolf both fail to hit their enemies, but the summoned wolf knocks the cultist with the entropic shield to the floor and bites him. The man fighting Hlethiuk tries to tackle him.
