Oh, Shit !

"emerging as huge, long limbed, gray colored Slaads. Two of Vintronus' men stab each other to death and Taheris bites one man in two and slashes another man's jugular. Vintronus calmly crushes a man's skull while looking around"

- Why do I have to be dumb enough to follow a red haired witch into battle? Hmmmm ?

I think I want to play a Ranger or Barbarian with my next character

Arn is literally shocked by what he sees. He does his best to get control of himself. He knew that most the average folk who worshipped the church were good and righteous people, it was the infiltration of the leadership that went wrong.

Arn casts Magic Circle against EVil and steps up on the Gibett where Jamie was to be put to death. Arn attempts to Enthrall the massive crowd who came to see the execution. (cast Enthrall DC 19).

People of Chalon, some of the Church and Nobility have been infiltrated by Demons. You see it for your own eyes, look at lord Vintronous, you see him now for the Demon he is. He and his kin must be destroyed.

Arn throught back I hope my suggestions on the way in to the crowd have spread

Rise up now, and cast off the Demons who spread the plague, death and destruction on our fair lands. They are usurpers and pretenders to the true power of Saints, SEND THEM BACK FROM THE HELL THEY CAME FROM !

Kahvi shook her head, [Common] “Ah well we came under a different pretense and I do not think it will work to get us out. Ricula pretended to be me as everyone thinks I am the Kings mistress. Much happened since we parted way and a story for another time.”

She chuckles as she sees Ricula head up after Jamie, ”Alright everyone, it is our job to keep the hounds at bay. They are going to be very pissed off when they get through that door. Once Jamie is done with what ever it is, we slip out. We are way out numbered to fight our way out.”

She looks at Didier and speaks softly so he can only hear, ”There is another problem, Vintronus.” She explains what happened and about the note for Jamie. ”I have not said anything about it yet, as I know it is some sort of trap. This was a trap for us as he is hoping his enemies will kill us.”

The violence and utter insanity erupts everywhere her spell drops and Jamie just keeps trying to produce more of the same.

She desperately tries to get one near Celecia and she desperately tries to get one near Bishop Calchus.

All the meanwhile her conscience is screaming at her - she is now a mass murderer. She's - forcing - them bite and stab and crush each other. And, this is why Olorin has never approved of enchantments. No one should be able to do this.

Arn stands up, raising his arms and voice in an attempt to catch the crowd. For a small moment in that din of violence, his voice carries and does grab some of the crowd, mostly the beggars and peasants who had gathered for the free food. They stop and stare, slack-jawed for a moment, then turn and attack heavily armored knights, trained soldiers, priests and mages proficient at killing without conscience with stones, sticks and wooden bowls. Arn stares at the mayhem, hears a whisper of a woman's voice that quickly fades as his spell overcomes the Succubi's charms.
Many others are too caught up in the sudden violence spreading like a wildfire through the Basillica. A cloudkill spell goes off, smoking death through the crowd, several desecrate spells, two Slay Living, an enervation, and three chaos hammers are also cast.
Jamie sees Duchess Celicia gazing about herself, licking her lips in a horridly, hungry, seductive way. She starts growing larger and hairier, her arms and legs and chest bulging out with raw, physical power. To her, this is an orgy. Jamie's spell flashes on the Duchess and through her retinue, not that they really needed any encouragement to start killing. Jamie knows, feels it have no affect on the Duchess, it simply rippled over her like wind over rock. Still, she keeps changing and slashes out, taking a man down with a sharp, feral paw, then almost casually casts a horrid wilting in the direction Ciardha and Bishop Damon.
Bishop Calchus is standing on his tip-toes to get a view of the chaos when Jamie's spell crashes over him and his gathered folk. Calchus instantly turns and slits the throat of the advisor next to him. Another of his priest's casts a Chaos Hammer at Vintronus and Taheris and two chain lightning spells go off, hitting everything close.
Ciardha survives the wilting spell and stands and summons a muscular, black and red scaled, hawk face horror. from the plane of fire. The creature erupts like a volcano into the Basillica, burning, maiming and killing everything within twenty feet of it.
Arn and Jamie both see Lord Cherot directing his men, his Templars, who Arn would notice all wear an older, simpler style of armor and plain white tunics with a simple red Tau cross stretched the front. They quickly gather and fling full aspergillums at Celicia and her werewolves. The water from the Raven's Tear kills a few outright, wounds others, and sends more panicked and running. After that, they form a tight square and start moving towards the east entrance.
An arrow flies past Arn's head, then an short spear. He turns to see a number of vikings rushing towards him, a frenzied hate in their eyes as they hurl and shoot at him. Two arrows glance off him. He sees a heavy, leaf shaped spear and steps sideways causing it to miss him. He can't move fast enough though to avoid them all and a short spear hits his hip and grazes across his stomach, that blow is followed by a hand-axe hitting him between the shoulder blades and falling off. He can see the vikings closing around him.
Jamie and Arn both realize at the same time, her spell causes people to attack what they see as evil, and to these vikings, few things are more evil than the Church.
Jamie just about falls over from exhaustion and horror. Ricula is there though to not only grab her with one hand, but to use her sword to knock a spear out of the air. Skaga finds the spear caster and hits him with a lightning bolt that then bounces from him to his friend and back again, stunning and knocking both of them over before it hits another and another and another. Skaga lifts her spear up, about to attack again when she notices Jamie's pale face and Arn's precarious spot on the gibbet, Ricula! Ricula! Save that fool of a priest, I'll take care of Jamie.
Kahvi and the others down below can hear the sounds of terror and maiming and killing up above. Didier, Elias, and Gullveig all look at Kahvi with surprise. Didier more than the others. Gullveig smiles at her, totally jestingAh, a royal miss, na vunder tey come at us so eager to die. Didier gets over his shock, laughs and gives her a huge, beaming smile,King's Mistress it is, you should have told me before I put my head on that chopping block. Makes me wonder if I want to know anymore about you or just run screaming mad to the hills. Gullveig shrugs her shoulders at Didier,Screaming's good abut now, yea, I think that fits. Question is, is she going to scream with ya? Kahvi sees Didier laugh and blush for the first time at Gullveig's jest. Elias breaks into the fun,That's all fine and such, but it doesn't get us out of here. There weren't many soldiers or guards along the way we came in,and he points down the hall the other way, opposite from where Kahvi came,and it's still quiet down there. That's the way we should go.
While they were all talking, Edric propped open the cell door, clearly intending to use it for cover. He also gathered as many bolts and arrows as he could find or pull from their dead foes.

Jamie's magical defenses are still up. She only cast the long lasting. She pulls out the Raven's Tear and clutches it to her heart when she observes Celecia so casually entertained by the killings and the spells.

Jamie leans heavily onto Ricula and surveys the exits. Can they make it out above ground? Can they make a run for the East where Cherot's men are forming - get beyond them and flee deep into the city?

We need to go! Skaga! Jamie didn't plan on Arn running into the crowd or Skaga running after him. She curses. They are too too slow.

Jamie bites her lips. Celecia is going to be able to smell them and follow them. She knows it. She curses again. She does not want to go back down under the bascillica. That isn't nearly safe enough. But it is more safe than staying here, and the refuge of the room is immediate. They might be able to make a good last stand there, with Kahvi's bow. Or, they can try the hallway and the other doors.

HrH. To me. she was going to tell her bird to fly away but the words came out the other way.

Jamie is about to go back down the rope unless there is another obvious option. She'll need HRH's help or she will probably fall from the ceiling to the floor she's so tired.


She casts Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Turning, and See Invisibility as Persistant Spells.

She casts Magic Circle vs. Evil, which should last 140 minutes normally but she casts it using her Extend Spell feat to double its length. She casts Mage Armor, also extended, which lasts about the same. (almost 5 hours)

Spell Turning 1) dispel magic, 2) energy drain, 3) finger of death, 4) wail of banshee, 5) maze, 6) horrid wilting, 7) trap the soul, 8) flesh to stone 9) crushing hand. post 333768? in Chalon thread

Kahvi looks at the trio, [Common]”What?” she says puzzled by the looks. ”Well you can thank Ricula for that,” as she chuckles as she remembers Ricula’s act. She quirked an eyebrow, ”Ha ha,” as she elbows Didier in the ribs. She looks at Didier and Gullveig apparently missing the joke. She pets Ru, ”Well it sounds like all hell has broken loose, so we bet get ready to bolt.”

OOC-Bardolf can take one person for every three levels with his Word of Recall. Who does he want to take and who does he leave behind?

IC-Jamie watches Skaga stride among one group of vikings, actually rallying them and giving them semblance of organization. Several of these vikings start growing larger and hairier, unleashing the beserker fury within them. They are not lycans though like Celicia and her clan. This is a manifestation of divine battle fury granted them by Odin. Some of them become more bearlike, others as wolves and one takes on the semblance of a hawk.
Arn sees Jamie leaning on Ricula. Ricula holds Jamie up, looking around like Jamie, searching for a viable exit. Nothing looks easy, there is now fighting everywhere. Jamie sees mostly tangled bodies, smoke and flashes of color. Spells of such power are going off, they can see cracks erupting in the walls and along the tiled floor. Ricula gasps out,How are you Jamie? Are you done? You need to keep walking Jamie, we are just about done, just about there, keep walking Jamie, keep walking...Ricula raises her shield and Jamie feels the blow travel through Ricula and into her. Jamie is certain she would have fallen over, but Ricula is strong enough to weather the blow and slips her arm from under Jamie. Jamie slides down Ricula's leg onto the floor. Ricula makes a small pivot, parries another blow and stabs again, all the time protecting Jamie as best she can. Jamie can see another viking, somehow familiar looking staring at her. She has seen his likeness before. Is it Hogni? It looks like him, it could be his brother, no, not Hogni, he is Hakon's brother. She feels the fatigue confusing her, feels someone's blood spattering the floor and her hands, feels the viking's eyes upon her. He recgonizes her and she feels a Wave of Fatigue wash over her and everyone around them. Ricula almost stumbles over her, the two Kargothian Knights she was fighting both fall to their knees. Through her exhaustion she can see the viking preparing to cast a Wall of Ice over the grate.
HRH drops on one of the fatigued Knights, ripping through his exposed neck and almost taking off his head.
Squawk! Jamie what now? Should I fly you out, drop you down the grate. I hear Ru down there,
Another leaf-shaped spear hits Arn in the chest. He almost falls off the gibbet from the blow. He turns back towards Jamie and the others, ready to Recall, and sees a ragged line of vikings and Kargothian Knights fighting between Jamie and himself. Other vikings are swarming towards him, hate and lust in their eyes. Skaga, his grandmother, has called out and other vikings form around her, hacking into the foes circling and attacking Arn.
Farther away, he sees Lord Cherot and his square of faithful Templars, halt, swivel and start moving towards Arn and Jamie. He can tell many of them have cast Sanctuary on themselves, allowing them to move easier through the mangled masses of the battle. They are also not evil and many of those affected by Jamie's spell don't directly attack them. Arn can tell most of them are lawful neutral or Lawful good.
Skaga reaches him. He can see the sweat pouring off her, the dark stains of blood and sweat streaking her cloak. She stares down at him,Jamie's down. We can do no more today, we are done here. Come now, fly with me!
Kahvi didn't think the noises, all the screaming and blasting and cursing couldn't get any louder, but it does. She also starts hearing ominous sounds of stone creaking, cracking, getting pushed to it's breaking point. The cell still looks solid. She actually knows enough to tell the cell would survive and keep them safe if the whole Basillica crashed down on them. They wouldn't be able to get out. They would be trapped, but alive.
She hears Didier whisper back to her,Vintronus is a problem. In some ways, I think Jamie hates him most of all. Hang onto the letter. We will look on it when we get out. Didier's voice carries not so much confidence they will make it, but certainty. She can tell he has not even considered them not making it.
She hears Edric,Gullveig was right, there's nothing going on down that hall. At least nothing I can see or hear. Some of the stones are growing cold though. I don't like that at all. Elias stands up and looks outside. He turns to them, a deep frown creasing his features,There are undead near. Mostly coming from above, but I can sense others moving closer to us, moving through the stone floor. Could be vampires, spectres or Wraiths, prepare yourselves. Elias holds his sword up to his face and kisses the pommel. A white light flows from the blade, encompassing Elias and anyone within ten feet of him. They hear a loud crack, followed by the clanging sound of an iron door falling off it's hinges. Edric shouts out,Here they come! and slips around the door and fires along with Gullveig.
Ru leaps up and scrambles into his pouch, shouting to Kahvi,HRH(Jamie's familiar)is up there, they need help. Jamie's too tired to cast and men are attacking her and Ricula!

OOC-Arn took 7 points of damage this round and 12 last round. For some reason the rolls haven't shown up. Kahvi now has a +4 bonus against all Fear and mind influencing spells. Kahvi can fire down the hall, or climb the rope to help Jamie and Ricula.

So much was going on that Kahvi did not have time to think, [Common] ”Jamie and Ricula are in trouble,” she says as she begins to climb the rope. ”I guess we are going up. Try to bar there way to buy time for everyone to go up.”

Arn can take 3 people, I trust Jamie and Skaga to take care of themselves. Arn grabs Kahvi and Gullveig, hoping Elias and the others in the hearse are on their way out.

Jamie believes that she is going to slow down Ricula and Skaga and make it harder for them to save themselves by burdening them down with her uselessness. She tells Ricula, To Cherot! To those guards!

She is so upset at the idea of a wall of ice over the grate that she wants to get herself away from it, doesn't want anyone like that familiar spellcasting viking to see her going down and follow her. She would then burden them with carrying her around and protecting her like Ricula is doing now, and bring more danger. That doesn't seem fair. She hopes that they are safe down there...thinks that they must be better off down there than up here.

She asks HRH to drag or fly her across the plaza, toward the soldiers coming toward them. But go past them and all the way to Cherot. Then go get the others if they need you.

Jamie is perhaps going to lose String Thing if the others in the cell have taken to the hallway and are going out. She's OK with that. She can't bear to call it to her thinking Didier, Sir Bumare, who really did stick with her until the very end, might eventually need to climb out. She leaves String Thing as a way out of the cell. Maybe she can recover it in several hours time.

Didier quickly looks around then yells out,Gullveig! to me! Kahvi climb my back and shoot anyone you don't recgonize! We're going up everybody!. Gullveig comes waddling over as fast as she can. She has already loaded her crossbow again. Elias casts some kind of radiant spell down the 'empty' hall. That is quickly followed by a sound like splashing water and a gibbering, inhuman groaning.
Edric slams the cell door and rams the cot against it. He looks to DidierFollow them up Didier, they are going to need you up there! Didier grabs Gullveig and throws her up, surprising the dwarf. Edric is now holding a torch in one hand and his axe in the other. Elias stands next to him, his sword blazing white, keeping the undead at bay.
Jamie feels Ricula grab and pull her away from the grate in the direction Jamie pointed. Jamie's not sure Ricula can see Lord Cherot and his men. She's just going on Jamie's word. HRH flaps awkwardly about her shoulders trying to find a way to grasp her with his talons without hurting her. Between HRH and Ricula, they get Jamie to her feet. She feels it then, a drow mage casting Finger of Death at her. Her Spell Turning reflects it back and Jamie watches as a human looking woman wearing her finest courtly dress sucks, gasping for air before falling over dead at Bishop Calchus' feet. Ricula's voice cuts into her thoughts,Jamie! Jamie there are scrolls and potions in my pack, grab one. Ricula's pack slides off her shoulders, giving her more agility and less weight. Jamie feels so tired she can barely hold it up.
Kargothians led by a Flagellant are trying to encircle Jamie, Ricula and HRH. Ricula turns to them, sword out, daring them to attack. A crossbow bolt thunks heavily into the chest of the Flagellant, followed by another and another. Jamie turns to see Gullveig "fly" out of the grate, land, shoot, and reload. The dwarf looks terrified, acting more on instinct and muscele memory than anything else. Right behind her, Kahvi "flies" out as well as Didier throws her up and out.
Kahvi is immediately surrounded and inundated with even more noise and sees hundreds of badly mangled corpses and maimed people strewn across the floor. The whole ceiling is cracked in several places and the air is thick streams of enchanted color, smoke, oil and a metallic smell of blood. Trapped in a cell with undead suddenly doesn't look so bad compared to the horrors this battle of lycans and Slaads, Illithids and drow, kargothians and vikings and in the center of it all, the huge Fire Salamander, slaying and burning everything within reach.
Didier is half out of the grate when ice smothers the hole, trapping him and almost completely covering him. His head and one arm are now sticking out. Didier immediately starts pounding at the ice.
Arn looks around, dodges another thrown axe. Standing on the gibbet, he can see more than most. Lord Cherot and his men have now broken into two squares, one turning and standing against slaads and Vintronus' men on one side and the remaining hordes of Celicia's lycans. The other, smaller square breaks into a double time step, heading straight for Jamie and Ricula.
In all this carnage and confusion, Arn can see her casually moving about, dark lust shining in her eyes. To Celicia, this is more an orgy than a battle. Nothing has touched her so far. He can see no wounds, no burnt hairs or marks on her. She is moving towards the largest of the gray skinned Slaad wreaking it's own path of death destruction. It wields a huge, smoking two handed sword in one hand, a crimson and green striped pitchfork in the other. The slaad sees her approach and roars out it's challenge. Duchess Celicia focuses on the slaad preparing to launch herself into battle. Just as she hunches her shoulders, Arn sees Carillo and another slim woman moving up behind her. Carillo is still juggling, still in his jester outfit. The two of them dodge and duck as much as they can, trying not to attract any more attention than necessary. Arn can see they are both shielded by a sanctuary spell. The woman huddles close to Carillo, shocked, crying and witless.
Skaga jerks him to her, suprising him with her iron like strength. By the Saint's she is as strong as Father Hayne! Skaga folds her arm and cloak around Arn and he loses sight of Carillo. He feels himself flying!
Kahvi looks around, sees Jamie and Ricula almost twenty feet away and almost surrounded! She watches Didier climbing out and then stares as the ice flows over and around him. Before she reaches him, Skaga and Arn leap off the gibbet, over the charging vikings and land and fall when Skaga's knees give way. Arn rolls her past and almost past the grate, except Didier grabs him. Skaga painfully uses her spear to lever herself up, a green feathered dart stuck beneath her collarbone.
First Arn is flying, leaping, then landing, falling, and rolling as a tired Skaga stumbles. Someone else grabs him. He doesn't know who at first, then sees and hears Didier's voice,Come on Father, up and run towards Jamie and Cherot. Arn is laying on a sheet of ice with Didier's head and arm pushing him up.
Arn and Kahvi can both see a line of vikings moving towards them. They halt for a moment when Skaga stands to face them, then urged on by one of their priests, the ame one who cast the ice over the grate, they surge forward.

OOC-Jamie and Ricula are twenty feet to the left and east of the grate where Arn, Didier, Gullveig, Kahvi and Skaga are now bunched together. Lord Cherot is thirty yards from Jamie and Ricula. Jamie and Ricula are almost encircled by foes, mostly Kargothians and soldiers wearing the red and gold of Duke Vintronus. Not a single lycan is within twenty yards of any of them.
The viking shaman and his band of fourteen(11 men and 3 women)are twenty-five feet to the right and west of the party at the grate.
Jamie finds two scrolls and two potions in Ricula's pack.
Scroll One: Cat's Grace, Conjure missiles, Conjure Smoke,
and Glitter dust.
Scroll Two: Cure Light wounds(1d8+4)x2, Cure Moderate
Wounds(2d8+4)Delay Poison and Owl's Wisdom
Potions:Haste and Neutralize Poison

Arn a little disorientated crouches looking at his stricken grandmother. Arn's mind races back to old text, he visualizes his studies of poisons. The Tome was old, once bound in white leather was yellowed and stained with age and dirt. It was filled with colorful artistic illuminated text. The book talked of poisons and the treatment for poisoning from weapons. He knew what to do.

Arn tore a scrap of clothe from his friars robes and used it as a covering to protect from poisoning himself while he pulled the dart. Setting the dart aside his other hand went to his satchel and pulled out a small piece of charcoal which he crushed between his fingers and sprinkled over the wound. All the time reciting a prayer.
quietus venenum toxicum
quietus venenum toxicum
quietus venenum toxicum


Then Arn turned toward Dider and focused on the ice, ice was water, water in a brittle cystalline like structure prone to shattering if hit with enough force. Arn gathered the noise around him, let it built up until Arn's head was nearly bursting with the gathered sounds of battle and focused it at the ice holding Didier, focused the noise to be released in a fast burst at a pin point location in an attempt to break the ice.
FRACTA

OOC
Arn is casting Neutralize poison on Skaga and Shatter on the ice holding Didier.


Neutralize Poison
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Brd 4, Clr 4, Drd 3, Pal 4, Rgr 3
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature or object of up to 1 cu. ft./level touched
Duration: 10 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, object)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless, object)

You detoxify any sort of venom in the creature or object touched. A poisoned creature suffers no additional effects from the poison, and any temporary effects are ended, but the spell does not reverse instantaneous effects, such as hit point damage, temporary ability damage, or effects that don’t go away on their own.

The creature is immune to any poison it is exposed to during the duration of the spell. Unlike with delay poison, such effects aren’t postponed until after the duration —the creature need not make any saves against poison effects applied to it during the length of the spell.




Shatter
Evocation [Sonic]
Level: Brd 2, Chaos 2, Clr 2, Destruction 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area or Target: 5-ft.-radius spread; or one solid object or one crystalline creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (object); Will negates (object) or Fortitude half; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes (object)

Shatter creates a loud, ringing noise that breaks brittle, nonmagical objects; sunders a single solid, nonmagical object; or damages a crystalline creature.

Used as an area attack, shatter destroys nonmagical objects of crystal, glass, ceramic, or porcelain. All such objects within a 5-foot radius of the point of origin are smashed into dozens of pieces by the spell. Objects weighing more than 1 pound per your level are not affected, but all other objects of the appropriate composition are shattered.

Alternatively, you can target shatter against a single solid object, regardless of composition, weighing up to 10 pounds per caster level. Targeted against a crystalline creature (of any weight), shatter deals 1d6 points of sonic damage per caster level (maximum 10d6), with a Fortitude save for half damage.

Kahvi was not expecting to be tossed up when she went flying up as Didier threw her up. She takes aim at the priest controlling the Vikings and fires a volley. So much was going on that she did not have time to take it all in. She just knew there were enemies around and they had to go down.

Jamie can't stand up very well and keeps sinking down. She's down now, right next to Ricula. She remembers that she has been carrying around items that might help in a situation like this too. She had been carrying them around for so long in her handy haversack that she had completely forgotten about them until Ricula prompted her to search memories. Her bag puts whatever she tells it at the very top. She starts muttering and pulling stuff out. She says, Scrolls and reaches in and flings them out. She says, alchemist fire and reaches in. She says, hammer!.

If they are going to survive through this - Didier needs to be released from the ice. He's probably their only chance.

Jamie casts off Ricula's scroll 'conjure missiles' and strikes at the encircling Kargothians and soldiers with the red uniforms of Vintronus's.

She pulls out a flask of alchemist fire. Does she dare try to throw it? What if she drops it on herself?

She remembers there is a dagger she's never used. She got the dagger in Germania and it has daggerspell stance magic in it that she might call upon. But, really, she doesn't feel she has the strength to throw or fight with either of them. But, it would be comforting to hold it because of its defensive nature.

She grabs the scroll of Conjure Smoke. A smoke wall will be just the thing to keep more spells from targeting them while they try to get to Cherot's men. She'll try to make a smoke wall in front of Vintronus's men.
----------------------------------------

OOC: I edited to add the hammer. Wanted to see what the shatter spell would do, but probably this is more realistic reaction for Jamie.
Are the vikings friendly or unfriendly?
---------------------------------------
Ricula's Scroll:
Scroll One: Cat's Grace, Conjure missiles, Conjure Smoke,
and Glitter dust.
Scroll Two: Cure Light wounds(1d8+4)x2, Cure Moderate
Wounds(2d8+4)Delay Poison and Owl's Wisdom
Potions:Haste and Neutralize Poison

Daggerspell stance: You gain +2 insight bonus on attack and damage if you make a full attack, SR 5 + caster level if you fight defensively, and DR 5/magic if you use the total defense action.
Roll for me for the missile attack if that's needed. Her ranged attack is +8 now.
(-6 to strength, -6 to dexterity gives her a strength of 3!, and a dex of 12)

Kahvi flows up out of the grate, spinning in the air and looking around. Taking it all in is too much, so she goes back to her earliest training. Concentrate, focus on the shot at hand. While still airborne, she spots and fires at the norse mage. He bends slightly back, her first arrow whisking along his chin. His hand glows, sparkles with gold fire. Concentrating on his spell, he can't dodge and her second arrow takes him right in the stomach. His eyes bulge and his forehead furrows with wrinkles. He is staring right at her when a bolt of gold lightning streaks from his hand heading right for her.....
Arn reaches up and pulls the dart. Skaga winces and snarls at the rushing vikings. She touches her spear to the floor and starts casting while Arn is still trying to heal the poisoned wound. She is so focused on the foe, he is not sure she realizes he is even there. He spells comes out and washes over Skaga with no effect. Arn is startled! He can't heal her! An image of Skaga burning priests, hanging and spearing them in offer to Odin flashes past his sight. She is an enemy of the Saints! He also feels a powerful curse around her, a curse cast by Odin. Cursed by Odin, an enemy of the Saints, he can't heal her, at least not by any means at hand. He quickly turns as a Wall of Ice rises from where her spearpoint touches the floor.
Skaga's Wall of Ice keeps the vikings at bay, giving him time to reach Didier and cast shatter. Cracks scatter across the sheet of ice, weakening, but not totally breaking it. Didier heaves against the ice, breaking it more and getting out to his waist. Kahvi lands and moves protectively towards Arn and Didier along with Gullveig. The dwarf now turns and fires at the Kargothians and soldiers attacking Jamie and Ricula. She hits two as her bolt rips through one man's jugular and drives into the face of the man behind him. Both fall down.
Jamie quickly rifles through the scrolls and sends the missiles of enchanted dust at the Kargothians. She was so tired and cast so quickly she missed the first few rushing at them. She was barely able to raise her arms at all. Thankfully the missiles flew into the ankles and shins of the men behind them, knocking some down and slowing others. Ricula shield bashes the first soldier reaching them, to the ground, parries and stabs the next in the groin and rolls him over her shoulder. Crossbows start dinging and snicking across the ground. Ricula drops into a crouch, covering both of them with her shield, I got you Jamie, I won't let them take you. Jamie sees Ricula is ready to kill them both to prevent capture and torture. She hears the ice shattering and turns to see Didier for a moment, climbing up, calmly taking measure of the situation, more than ready to step in. Then Didier is gone, along with Kahvi and Gullveig. Only Arn is now standing there, looking down at the ice and broken grate. She feels Ricula grab the alchemist fire from her. Ricula has a gritty smile,Ah Jamie, this will do us well. I'm going to throw it right, when I do, run left and towards Cherot. She looks at HRH,Your Highness, Saint's Speed to you both. Jamie conjures a billowing cloud of smoke around them, then feels HRH claws dig into her shoulder, feels the first trickle of blood as he gets a firm grip and lifts her at the same moment Ricula stands and throws.....
Arn sends Didier, Kahvi and Gullveig to St. Oghma's. Skaga vomits all over the floor while turning and grabbing his shoulder, pulling him towards Ricula and Jamie who are rapidly disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Elias and Edric are still down in the cell. Arn can hear them fighting, can feel Elias turning the undead, senses a vampire in the cell with them.
One moment Kahvi stood in midst of more noise and horror than she had ever seen before. She felt Arn, the priest, touch her shoulder and it all fell away. For a moment she saw only stars all around her then the world came back into focus. She, Didier, and Gullveig all lay on a warm stone floor. All around her stood monks and friars with bandages, warm linens, steaming lentil soup, cold cuts and hot buttered biscuits. Where are you hurt? Be still, you are safe in St. Oghma's temple. Brother Arn sent you to us. How can we help you? How is Brother Arn and why didn't he come?
Secure Rolls:
Shatter damage 10d6{(3)(6)(5)(5)(2)(4)(1)(2)(6)(1)} = 35
Wall SA 1d20(10)+8 = 18
Jamie Conjur missiles 1d20(4)+8 = 12
Conjure damage 7d6{(6)(3)(5)(6)(3)(3)(6)} = 32

It took Kahvi a moment to comprehend she was no longer at the battle site. She suddenly screams as she begins yelling, [Elven] ”NO! NO! NO! RICULA! EDRIC!”

She was up on her feet spinning around trying to make sense of it all. Her hand clutching her bow while the other holds Ru close to her as if afraid of loosing him again.

So Arn, Edric and Elias are the only ones left there?
