Having come up with Roland, Adrian hears the hooded man's request for a sacrifice. Ignoring that, however, Adrian turns to his companion [for the rest of you, Adrian addresses the empty air] and asks, "Avra, is that... yes, I thought so."

Closing his eyes and letting his head fall, Adrian concentrates on the part of him that is divine, and through force of will pushes the probability fields slightly. Reality changes in response, and the psychic landscape becomes slightly less habitable to those of corrupted spirit. Adrian then looks back up, and continues listening to the hooded man.

[In game, Adrian used his feat, "Glorious Weapons." I burn a turning attempt, and everyone's weapons are aligned as Good for purposes of overcoming damage reduction]

As soon as Brethana takes her swipe Shana thrusts her hand forwards and the shimmering focuses to two bright points of light that leap from her hands and dart with blinding speed towards the raven that Moorkroft is attacking slamming into it with two sharp bursts of energy.

[Magic Missile on the bird!]

The yellow-eyed man laughs and pats Roland on a cheek. "Boy, you obviously haven't understand - I am not here to negociate. I am here to give an order..."

Brethana's angry blow misses the dread messenger by an inch, and he stumbles back, away from the path, into the corn... The two croaking ravens, caught by surprise, flutter up and down, apalled...

"You elven bitch! How will I enjoy to taste your flesh..."

With that, Yellow-Eyes turns and runs into the corn field, at full speed!

[The crops at the side of the ride stand high enough for a human to disappear... Or either you follow him right away, or it seems that you will soon loose his track...]

Shana and Moorkroft hit the left raven with full force, and the bird falls before their feet, dead, while the other bird, still not having found its balance, desperately struggles to get away...

Brethana follows after yellow-eyes man running at full tilt , screaming at him "YOU HAVE TO BE ALIVE TO EAT MY FLESH, AS I"LL HAVE CUT YOUR SORRY EXCUSE OF A BODY TO LITTLE RIBBONS THAT THE CROWS HERE SHALL ENJOY FOR DAYS AND DAYS!!"

Brethana swings her mighty sword back and forth as she runs, cutting a path for the others, and as she runs she keeps taunting Yellow-Eyes,yelling and growling at him...

Roland jerks away from the yellow-eyed man's touch, his face freezing into a grimace of anger. As the stranger darts into the corn Roland mutters something and slaps his shoes, then rises into the air, pursuing the stranger into the cornfield at a height of about twenty feet. Pursuing at full speed, he yells down to Brethana, "Attagirl, long ears! Cut him to the bone!"

OOC: Roland's intended actions: cast lightning bolt next round, and invisibility as soon as the crows show up.

Shana spins round and sends two scintillating points of light curving gracefully towards the yellow eyed man, then running after him to keep him in range

[Magic Missile again!]

As fast as Brethana runs, Yellow Eyes seems to move faster...

That trick of switching your feelings of distances... He's doing it again!

In one moment, Brethana thinks to cut him into the back, but then, he suddenly is a few meters away...

Then Roland strikes with his lightning bolt, and everything around him and Brethana vanishes in a field of electric energies and fire...

But he has definitely hit the mark - he hears Yellow Eyes howl like a dog...

From very near!

...And then, Roland is missed by a magic bolt B-Y A-N I-N-C-H, and beautiful Shana stumbles into Brethana, knocking her head against the elven woman's nose...

[1 unlethal DAM for both...]

What becomes of her other magic projectiles, Shana cannot say... They vanish somewhere in the expanding explosion...

---------------------------------------------------------

You others, who still stand outside the cornfield on the road, see your companions jump into the field, disappear, and then, after a few seconds, a huge explosion light the evening day...

Flying hay, halms and corn darken the sky for a moment...

[React quickly and with force!]

[Kintire, it seems we posted at the same time, but I edited the post to count Shana's action in... Rolled a 1.

OOC: Er, what? Roland's 20 feet in the air--how on earth did Shana run into him? Some weird distance-distortion thing?

OOC: Sorry for the confusion - meant Brethana! EDITED EARLIER POST ACCORDINGLY...

[ er I am presently swinging my great sword to and fro, just wondering how Shana got underneath my swinging and bumped into my nose...... ]

Alain's temper flares for a moment and he yells at his companions:
"Fools! Why follow what You can't catch and can't see!"
He readies his shovel and begins to look all around for a possible returning yellow eyes.
