Hero, Garor, Callian, Angelus, Caelith - [Shakes head...] Camir stumbles around, his eyes darting rapidly. It is evident that such a young man has never been faced with such questionable decisions of office.
"I can't do anything...the town will be defenseless..."
He moves around, shaking his head, pondering the conundrum.
It is then that Angelus takes action. [Acid Arrow] His hands quickly form a solid bolt of acid that streaks towards his target. [Ranged Rouch Attack Roll = NAT. 20!!!] The bolt sails by, narrrowly missing Callian's waist and strikes Magmire dead between the eyes. [Damage Roll = 7] Magmire collapses, the acid burning his forehead and making his body convulse unnaturally.
Magmire is at -7. {He will face acid damage next round.]
Callian spins, and attacks!
{Initiative: Callian 9, Angelus 16}
Camir, sensing the impending doom, takes but a moment to bellow.
"STOP!! Anyone moves and I'll place you all in the jail!"
[There you have it Hero, Garor and others. Want to throw down or do something else?]

Krysta, Girud and Galdren - Aldolpho moves to the interior of the temple, flanked by a set of knights that quickly gather food and drink for all involved. He sits on an amber bench, offering seats to all present. The aged knight is calm and calculating, seemingly always studying you, watching you. His eyes are like hawks, constantly scanning for anything. You wonder if he gets much sleep.
The conversation is light-hearted. Aldolpho shares many deeds of The Knights of the Purest-Star, all just short of being epic. You wonder how you have gone this far without hearing of them before.
The knights also intently listen to anything you say with eager eyes and wide eyes. it appears that they adore stories and tales of deeds as much as anyone. It is only when Girud shares his thoughts that Aldolpho speaks of things that need to mentioned.
"Meeting with the queen? You truly are adventurers...much like we were. Dungeons, dragon lairs...no deed was too dangerous for any of our ranks."
"However, such illustrious epics are far behind our time now. We Knights of The Purest-Star once held a mighty castle in what is now the DeathSpew Swamps. Long before the arrival of 'The Master', this castle defended all who would seek its aid...much like Ravenshead does now."
"The Master made short work of it however, killing most of the council and nearly all of our soldiers in a battle that lasted a little less than a day. Despite our best urges to stay and fight, the remaining knights ran."
Aldolpho takes a moment to stir the fires.
"We sought refuge in many places, Ravenshead, the mountainous region of the Dwarves...we have chosen to rest here because the Elves have shown support of a good plan. They intend to attack The Master..."
"Rather than hole up in a mountain or protect the sick and dying, they focus on attack and strategy...on removing The Master and everything he has ever touched. We all support this plan and do what we can...but our brother, Malvius, did not believe this plan."
"He believed The Master could not be defeated in one fell swoop, that there were steps to defeating him, keys that must be found to unlock The Master's weakness. He believed an object held the lifeforce of The Master, a series of powers had to be collected to even enter the citadel of The Master and other such garbage...."
Aldolpho stands and strides over to the suit of armor and the sword of the fallen knight. He fumbles them absentmindedly, remembering his fallen comrade. He gently lays them at your feet and stands, bowing low.
"Malvius was a good man, and so are all of you. Please, take his things and see that his spirit gets justice...use them."
The aged knight looks around, stretching and changing the conversation.
"You'd better get some sleep, your meeting with the queen will be an important one..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sehanine, Yuri and Romar - Romar feels his muscles attempt to break free of whatever strange power holds them still. [Will Save, Fail.] He is unable to and the power holds him fast.
Yuri moves towards the nearest gem-imbedded Drow. He throws himself at the monster, trying to get to the precious lifeveins that will sustain him. [Attack Roll = 9...sorry man, the dice are not with you.] The Drow quickly sidesteps the attack.
Two of the Drow react, again blasting the air with their mental powers...originating from the gems in their foreheads. [Yuri is the only one standing. Will Save, Yuri = success] The vampire manages to stay upright and free.
The remaining Drow moves and attempts to bring his fists about. Yuri, possessing the powers of the night and the natural attack, reacts quickly. [AoO 'causse you're considered armed. = 17] The fist slams into the wounded Drow, [Damage Roll = 8] bringing it down to the ground...lifeless.
Drow 2 is dead.
Sehanine tries to break free of the restraining powers. [Will Save, Sehanine = Fail.] She also remains steadfast, held in place by the strange waves of power.
{Initiative: Romar, Yuri, The Drow, Sehanine.}
[Two Drow left, Both Wounded.

"Friends, I fear that we cannot sit idle too long. The Master's forces are always at work. Once our meeting with the Queen is over I think we should be on our way. We have a greater purpose to acheive than resting in all this splendor."
