{Init: A2, Fangor, Vemu, S1, S3, Kauyon, A1, S5, A3, Artemis, FlashJeck, Lekor, A2} {Vemu. You rested, remember? You should have filled alot of HP. See resting rules} A2 shoots at Muradin, but misses. Adelia slams her mace into the skeletons skull. (19 + 7 = 26 [Hit] = 10 damage (8 Bludge, 2 Fire) It cracks, and a view small pieces break off. The skeleton keeps attacking as if nothing happened. Abbar draws his blade, and hits him attacker, breaking him into pieces! (20 [Nat] [Imm Crit] = 8 damage) The lightning ball remains in the air for a moment, and flies off down the chasm... S1 attacks with his crystal longsword, but his attack doesnt even dent Adelia's armor. Ahrd focuses the energy on S2. The skeleton, flies off the ledge heading deep into the chasm... Another arrow flies at Mudain, but some higher power seems to protect the dwarf, as it misses again. [No, I'm not that power  ] S5 moves in and attack Kenji with his Heavy Mace, made of the same material as his bones. The samurai quickly dodges the attack and strikes back (14 + 12 = 26 [Hit] = 13 damage) damaging the skeleton badly. As he swings his sword again, A3 fires an arrow at him, (25 [Hit] = 3 Damage) scratching his arm as he slams the sword into the skeleton, breaking him into tiny pieces. Muradin, really mad because of his bad skills in combat swings his axe, almost raging. (17 + 12 = 29 [Hit] = 21 Damage) The skeleton explodes, as the slaming weapon cuts right through him. The archers drop the bows, and their bodies break, as if you just hit them with something very large. The lightning balls fly away into the chasm... And again, you are left alone, yet this time with a strange feeling that someone is watching you...
[What's left of the skeletons: Crystal Longsword (60% of base item weight) Crystal Bastard Sword (same) Crystal Heavy Mace (same) x3 Crystal Longbow (same, and yes. it somehow bends, even if its not any flexible material) x50 Crystal Arrows (very very sharp)] [If you want anything, take it. I'll save you the trouble and tell you that most of it is crap considering what you have] [Your move] |

No really; I calculated it all twice and it's what I have: rogues aren't very well at hp and my con is just 10, and 11 damage is alot for Abby.
Abbar doesn't put back his weapon again and promises himself not to do that again while in this plane, relieved he is still standing after this surprise. He looks the crystal weaponry over but realises it isn't worth a dime, so he ignores it.
He looks to the others, hesitating on what to do now. A light remark escapes his mouth, not really like Abbar, but the relieve might have caused it.
"Ready to cross that bridge again?"

"Perhaps this was a test?" she turns to the others and says, not really intent on getting a reply. She will listen to what she can, to see what else may be across the bridge.
Listen +4
Knowledge Arcana +8 for this new type of enemy
EDIT : She tosses another potion to Abbar, who is not looking so well at the time. "If you need healing, you better let me know before it's too late." She then looks over the weapons dropped, and picks up the heavy mace. After all, you never know when another weapon is needed.
OOC - After realizing Clerics are only proficient with Simple weapons, she can not use the longbow. She will stay with her original crossbow instead...

Kenji sheahts his blade and looks around. "Let us go gentlemen. Someone seems to be playing games with us. If I find this person I will slice him open like an over ripe melon."

Abbar catches the potion and uses it immediately. In return, he tosses a thankful glance at Adelia. "You have my thanks." He adds in a sympethatic manner, not needing to pretend. He's starting to appreciate this cleric, seeing her as a worthy and valuable companion. Even now her careful attitude demands some respect from Abbar, the otherwise haughty man, as he sees her listening to the surroundings. He decides to await her findings, if any, and also "lend an ear".

A tall and muscular man steps out from the other side of the chasm. He emerges from the shadows, moving to stand from a crouched position. He speaks, "Hello. I take it you are not from around here? Neither am I. My name is Skitt Doomclaw. I came from Stonehold, I recognize you (with a gesture towards the cleric) as a temporary commander from there. I was fighting as a mercenery during the siege when the east wall was breached. Then an eccentric elf showed up and next thing I knew I was in Hell. I wandered into this place when I saw you all attacking those creatures. Just when I was about to lend my services they all crumbled (chuckle chuckle) funny how that works isnt it?" (In response to the not-so-warm welcome a stranger who shows up out of nowhere to talk to a group of travelers who are lost in Hell is bound to receive. . . ) Any signs of discomfort are fairly well masked by his stern gaze, but this man is no actor, there are many more of you than there are of him and he knows it, "Clearly we all need as many friends as we can get down here in this place." {OOC- hey guys, sucks for me you killed em all so fast, eh } |

OOC: OH! thats my Muradin! ;D and for the arrows - think of neo ;D ;D ;D and Vemu, correct me if I'm wrong but your character's ambision in life is to find love right?  Since no one takes any of the loot "Well, maybe this sword will have a good use sometime" and he picks the Crystal Longsword. (ooc: yes, I'm still in light load...) "Well Abbar, I must admit I'm alittle afraid to cross it now, maybe we will toss a rock or something. Than Skitt enters the room ..... (what he posted.) "Do you know hi Adelia? It hard for me here to trust anyone I don't know yet. No offance." he says like it was suppose to give a warning to that Skitt "But it seems that he doesn't like that Le'findel too! hehe, no one likes him!" Muradin continues and smiles. |

[Listen checks] You hear silent buzzing from far below. Perhaps there are more of those... Alot more... [Knowledge = 26] Those skeletons were no undead for sure. The bones andweapons are made of crystal, and as you destroyed the body, the lightning things flew away. It could be some sort of construct perhpas, but you arent sure... Abbar heals 15 HP from the potion he drank.
{Well, I think you guys got some talking to do. Especialy Abbar who left him money at the overrun fort } |

Adelia mutters something under her breath, before turning to the others, "Looks like those things aren't undead. Some kind of Crystal beings. Perhaps Constructs. Sounds like more of them down there as well."
She grins, saying, "Did you see those lightning things? Sort of like their power? Anyone got some water?"

To the sudden appearance of Skitt:
"It seems you already know you need not expect trust from any of us, so just get in line and help us out, as indeed we have more chances if we join swords. Do you know anything of this hell hole?"
To Adelia's request for water:
"You might as well ask for ice in a desert. If nobody caries it around with him, and I sure don't, then Hell is not the best place to look for water. But do we really need it? I say if this is a test let's face it and cross that bridge; it's the only way to go. This time just have your weapons drawn."

Turning to the nw guy, she simply looks him over. He appears to know what he is talking about, but she doesn't quite place him. Too many others there in the seige.
"So if you were from where we just came, then you can tell me one thing. What attacked the seige and was killed?" She awaits his answer.
To Abbar, she simply shakes her head. "Not all enemies are defeated byweapons. There are sometimes more powerful ways to bend them to destruction."

"Hm.. It seems that no one knows you mr.. Skitt? ...
And Abbar, I can't even trust him not to put a knife in our bags - as it sounds. So the options are to kill him or to tie him.. unless Adelia will remember him." Muradin says and his eyes glew when he talked about the killing.

"Let's just get a move on, shall we?"
Ahrd was aware of how he was forced upon the others, and how they could decide to turn at him at any second. Might as well try to get an ally.
"Join us if you wish - we're all on the same team here."
Ahrd frowns at the dwarf - he does not approve of pointless murder. Especially not in Hell.

"I don't understand it!!" Muradin calls in fury "How can you trust someone you don't know that comes from the shadows of hell!! and you call yourselves warriors? a good warrior knows how to fight and knows to make allies - but a great warrior knows not to trust his allies too much, and ofcourse.. he is not our ally! not even a friend! can any of you say he knows him?" Muradin continues to warn them with great anger and frustration.

"Well, then, Master Dwarf," Ahrd says, as if talking to a child, "if you don't trust him, then you can accompany him and make sure he doesn't stab us in the back! Now, can we get a move on?!"

"I'm not a child Ahrdy! but I can't understand how can you trust someone who came from the shadows of hell?
and about 'your' idea of watching him.. thats what I was gonna do." Muradin says, getting angrier with every word.

Ahrd opens his mouth as if to speak, but quickly shuts it again. Being called "Ahrdy" was annoying enough, but this wasn't the place to argue. Sooner everyone realized that, the better.
"We've lingered long enough."
Ahrd crosses the bridge onto the other side.

Adelia follows, crossing the bridge if noting notable happens to the first one to cross.

Skitt holds his ground even though the dwarf wants him dead, he takes confidence in the fact that others are not opposed to him becoming a companion of theirs, "What attacked the city you ask? A dragon, a white one. I am not lying to you when I say I was at the city fighting for the same side that you fought on just days before. Lying is for the weak. And water, yes I believe I have some left here (hands over mostly empty waterskin) might I ask why you need it? And master dwarf. . .I will not cut you pack. I respect your distrust for outsiders, but perhaps this is a time to listen to the others. One more set of fists in an invaluable tool in an environment such as this."

Adelia grins at the answer, "Yep! He was surely there at the seige. Must be an ok guy to survive that dragon as well." She grabs his waterskin and steps to the edge of the bridge. Knowing that the crystal beings are below, and their orbs of lightning are ucovered, she pours his water down the chasm, with an evil grin.
"Perhaps I will get lucky and short one of the bastards out. It's worth a try."
