7 - 042: An Army of the Dark

[K Man]

Londo and Graak - The trip back to the mainland seems to take an eternity. Each pull of the oars, each grunt of the dirty peasant fisherman...none of it seems to get you away from that island fast enough.

You can't help the feelings as they ebb and flow like the tide...

Was that the right thing to do?

What will you tell Adrian of his past?

You're only vaguely aware of the boat grinding to a halt in the sandy beach and the fisherman hoping out. He lowers his head, apparently picking up on the somber tone.

"Listen. You both done me a good deed with this gold for such a simple errand. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for..."

With that, he leaves you in the boat and shuffles off to the village.

You look about, wondering where to head to...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elxethan - The familar is here, bound to your every whim. You can't help but wonder though....just what trouble Drop'Gar might be into.

How will you know in your blinded state...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop'Gar - {Big A is about 15 feet up in the tube. Not far at all.} You speak a few well placed words before firing the wand at him. [Magic Missile Damage = 2, 3, 4 = 9] He howls in pain and screams.



"THE DARK ONE? Why you?"

With that, he gives a ring on his finger a slight twist and suddenly, he is no longer where he was...there is only the ladder. It is as though he has disappeared from sight.

Inivisible...

You then hear some arcane chanting...another spell being cast, but you feel no blast of light, no searing pain...

You wonder what he's up to.

{Initiative: You, Arturick}

{Kman, did he make his second save to stay on the greased ladder? Accordig to the spell he's got to save each round or fall, I can only assume he's not dangling free of the ladder. I believe I only get 6 rounds of grease, this would be round 2.}

Ignoring Arturick's question Satara continues to try and bring him down.


"He told me of your treachery..."

Sure he's invisible, but he's up there.

Option A. If the ladder is metal (oh please oh please), Satara will use the wand of shocking grasp and send the shock on up to the precariously balanced 'Big A'.

Option B. If the ladder is not metal she'll cast Summon Monster 1, so summon a (fiendish) small poisonous viper at the very top of the shaft... It should fall on him and can then strike with its venom ('cause its got scent).

Option C. If Big A failed his check and fell down the shaft Satara will summon a celestial dog to try and keep this guy busy. (Dog has scent too)

"...so. Time to reunite with our comrades, then. Kord only knows what trouble they've gotten into without me around."
Graak grins broadly and touches a finger to his temple, delivering a Sending to Elxethan.
Found Xio, Gravecrawlers. Adrian and Arabis left- not enough power to kill, so negotiated. Dragon problem over. Where are you? How goes it?

(You may send a reply of 25 words or less.)

[Wizard]

Elxethan starts awake, takes a minute or so to compose his message, then sends it on.

Am blind. Drop'gar infiltrating scheme of 'K.' Adrian memory? Arabis gone? Empyrean. One inn. Kurzen is "Dark One" here. Come? Good luck.

[BluSpecs]

Are Drop'gar and Elxethan well? We should try to meet back up with them as soon as we can did they say where they are?
