FRICK, JARVEENA, MOSS, and YGNE
Through the chaos, the party strikes with lethal precision.
Frick closes distance with the riderless griffon, his glaive relentless. Over his shoulder,
Moss takes advantage of the distraction and finishes the job with a well-placed arrow.
Jarveena recovers from the attack and returns the favour, while
Ygne backs her up. Together they down another griffon. It's rider lands awkwardly tangled as he is in the saddle, killing him instantly.
The three surviving Griffons riders soar at full speed toward the beach
Moss leans down to check the Spirit Mother. Her shattered mask reveals the face of a young woman, beautiful and pale. At his touch, however, her body begins to crumble into dust.
Screaming from the villagers reaches an even greater fevered pitch, but She Who Has Been Beyond the Reef rallies them with her warcry. As they flee the dueling circle toward the ravine, she screams at you all:
"Without the Spirit Mother, all the dead will return to kill us! We cross the ravine and cut the bridges, do not delay!"
As the Spirit Mother's ashes pass through Moss's fingers, the Masked Ancestors suddenly stop convulsing, as if some great internal struggle had been resolved. They rise in unison. Their masked faces turn to
Frick and
Moss, the closest living things to the Ancestors.
Their copper blades shine in the firelight as they begin their delightful murder.
OOC:
Frick takes 34 damage.
Moss takes 11 damage.
