Staunton Bluffs V: The Final Choice
Brethana rushes forward to Alain's aid ,knowing that some friends will help Jamethon and other will join her. Great Sword forward charging the guards , and growling, yelling, sptting, eyes wild as she seems to grow before the guards.
Jarg knows he'll be useless in a battle and heeding Fallenleafs words, rushes to help Jamethon with the lady goddess.

Since it is X many targets per caster level, and given Alain is Level 4, the targets would be Alain, Brethana, Jamethon and Inovidil since they seem to be the ones more apt to follow him into battle.VAN wrote:At 3.5 "haste" gets all the wizards allies in a certain distance of course. So I suppose we are all hasted except Jamethon, right?BigBadQDaddy wrote: Alain recites this poem to himself, while casting Haste upon himself.
I do have to laugh though, that so many people are willing to follow a completley mad bard weilding a shovel into battle. Too prescious, I hope we all live

Blaise is stunned as he realizes who the beautiful, tormented woman MUST be. "Ezra...!" he gasps, his knees shaking with awe and half-remembered guilt. Tears filling his eyes, he turns with fury back toward Lodissio. "You allowed this?!?! DID you?" He raises an accusatory finger at the satyr.
OOC: And at the first offensive action by Lodissio or his allies, that finger is firing an eldritch blast.

Why everybody is trying to free that strange-looking woman is a mistery for Jarryd, after all he never saw her before in her life. Still there is something special about her, and aura of some sorts that makes him stare at her.
With all his friends running straight into battle, Jarryd grabs his Scimitar and readies himself for it too, but his own inner voice tells him not to act yet, to wait a little longer to see how things unfold.
There will be time for action, but not yet Jarryd, not yet.

Lodissio and his men raise their weapons...ewancummins wrote: '' NO TIME! KILL THEM NOW! ''
But as your (mainly Alain's) wrath explodes on them, the do not yet attack, but as defensively as possible...
Soon three or four of them fall, protecting the wizards that keep the portal open...
Lodissio, while defending from Alain's brutal attacks with the shovel, shouts to his men:
"We knew that this might happen! Protect women and children!"
"No! You don't understand! It is HER! HER WHO IMPRISONS US!"Nathan of the FoS wrote:"Two or three of you, help Jamethon free her! Lodissio, if that is what you call yourself, what is your reason for this abomination? Cease now or be destroyed!"
Lodissio blocks another strike from Alain, but then is hit by Blaise's magic fire...
"This place - this world here - is hell! People don't deserve living here just because of HER!"
Lodissio is still standing, but you can see that Blaise's magic attack has hit him gravely.
"All we want to do is make the lives of our families better!"
The satyr rises his scimitar again. "I will kill all of you if you threaten these people."

The swirling sprits of the children welcome Jamethon, their spectral arms risen in praise...ewancummins wrote: First he will extract the needles , then try and unchain her.
The priest will find that the needles have not only entered the woman's body, but crossed it...
He realizes that the albino woman is deadly wounded, and that pulling her off the torture engine might kill her...

Madness! Jarryd stands there with his shining scimitar in one hand, confused by the turn of events, dazzled by the rays of light that come from the woman.
Lodissio left us when we needed him the most, but it was our choice to accept his mission. And now he stands there protecting these people. Is he on the wrong side? Are we on the wrong side?
Show me the right path to take Osiris, innocent people might suffer if take the wrong one Jarryd prays silently, ready to charge with his scimitar.

OOC> May you roll a sense motive check about Lodisio's words, Raf?
Inovidil studies the macchine and if it's possible to free Ezra. Noticing that might be dangerous, she turns again in order to help her companions. She doesn't want to hurt her more.
However the young woman cannot help thinking that all this situation is very strange. How is it possible for a goddess being in this dramatic situation? The wizards seem powerful enough yes, but being able to trap a such powrful goddess and get her in such devil macchine seem quite impossible. Why she didn't defend herself? Inovidil recalls Master Fallenleaf's words: "the gods are not allowed to interract with people", but Ezra did, why? Soon after, the evoker recalls Shana's words: "this place is foul of illusions". Actually Inovidil has already seen many of them, almost nothing seems to be what it is. On the other hand the ritual seem real, the wizards get Ezra's blood to do it...
At Lodisio's words Inovidil yells:
"Let them leave, you can treat with him when the others will be away."
At the same time Inovidil puts for a second the end of her staff in one of the small rivers of blood that flew from the torture macchine. The witch hopes that if all this was an illusion, interracting with it, might dispel it.

"Pray for your own life, satyr," says Blaise with venom. "I left Ezra's path long ago, but I still trust in her far more than I trust a blasphemous dog like you!" With that, he unleashes another arcane blast of red and violet energy from his fingertips.Rafael wrote:"No! You don't understand! It is HER! HER WHO IMPRISONS US!"

OOC: Another eldritch blast: I rolled a 21 for ranged touch attack, and 10 points for damage (including Point Blank Shot bonus).
