Veroth takes his head out from under his left wing, stands and stretches his wings to their fullest, and shakes all over. Checking his gear, replacing the bits of armor he removes to sleep, and tightening his straps, he nods to Roland.

Weiryn shudders a bit in the cold morning air and then explains the situation while Ireena goes through her morning training (gotta level up somehow... Oh yeah, and of course Ryjo will have shrunk down to his regular size during the night...).
"The group had discussed two possible plan of action. The first was to explore the ruins of the Ecaterine monastery in order to find the Tome of Strahd, and ancient tome which might hold some information on Strahd's weaknesses and how to kill the vampire. The second one, which was the one the party decided to do, was to open the door, face whatever is on the other side, and reclaim the Sunsword. Now, if Durgrim and Ryjo leave us, I will accompany them. Three pairs of eyes will be better to find the tracks of Ujjaya and Janis, but I can still cast spell of protection against the elements before leaving, should the party decide to confront the fiery creatures on the other side of that door."

"We came for the sun sword. I say we stick to the plan. Lets figure out what it takes to get it back, and get it done."
Nov 21, 2018 4:28 pm
"Sounds good to me. Let us prepare, and then search for the Sunsword. Is there anything that we can use against these creatures that you speak of? Any weapons we should use over others, or is it their fiery nature that is the most concern to us?" The mention of weapons sparks a thought, and Adrith makes sure to disarm and place the bear trap back into his pack. While useful for protecting a campsite, it wouldn't do to have someone accidentally step on it.

Weiryn will speak up again.
"It is hard to say. Most of the information we have came from the tarot reading done by the wise woman, and even though she explained her vision, there are always a bit which is vague and left for interpretation. Here's what I mean..."
And with this, Weiryn will relate to Adrith the readings for the Sunsword and for the diseased werewolves who used to lair here.
"So there is also a chance that those fiery creatures could also be fiends?"

At the mention of fiends Adrith grows concerned. "There are many types of fiends, and they enjoy tampering with mortal lives. It is possible that they could be causing this plague you spoke of. To be honest though, I think you all would know more about this than I. Though that does make me want to try something before we go through the door."

Beyond the door you see a flaming pyre in the center of a 20-foot-square room. The flames encompass most of the room and sometimes lick at the walls. The walls are almost completely black with burn marks. Across the room, you can see another door on the north wall. Next to the door, there is a burnt out skeleton holding the blade of what looks to be a silvered short sword. Despite the great heat in the room right now, the blade seems pristine, though it is missing pommel, hilt, and guard, with only the tang allowing any sort of grip on the weapon. But most important are the current "living" inhabitants of this room. A huge being composed entirely of fire accompanied by one of medium size and 3 smaller ones. They turn to look at you as soon as the door opens, their fiery features twisting into grimaces of anger and anguish.

@ Shanata, you are correct.Veroth enters the room (and must succeed at a DC 15 Ref Save to avoid catching on fire), manages to push his way past the small fire creature, but the huge creature manages to get an attack of opportunity on Veroth. Veroth is hit for 11 points of damage and must succeed at another Ref Save to avoid the creature's burn ability. Losing balance slightly because of the unexpected attack, Veroth misses teh large creature as its flam body weaves and twists around Veroth's rapier.

Heather casts spiritual weapon. It does magic damage and can't be hurt by physical attacks, but can be damaged by magical damage. I have to keep it in sight but I believe I can see the empty space between Darren and the small fire creature.
I summon a scimitar to that square and attack the large fire creature.

@ Shanata: Khotanos forgot to move Adrith in the room, but you can still see empty spaces further in the room.Veroth moves deftly and avoids catching on fire once again, but sadly does not avoid provoking an attack of opportunity from the huge creature. Veroth is hit for 11 points of damage and must succeed at a Ref Save to avoid the burn ability of that creature.
OOC:
I,m not entirely sure you were positioned right for a sneak attack, but you did enough damage to kill the creature anyways, so I guess the point is moot...Third round of combat.

Combat Map.
Conditions
The insides of the room is extremely hot. Characters stepping inside suffers 1d6 lethal damage per minute (no saves, negated by Endure Elements) from the heat and breathing in hot scalding air. In addition, characters must make a Fort Save DC 15+1 per previous check to avoid taking another 1d4 points of nonlethal damage (also negated by Endure Elements).
The insides of the room is also on fire. Characters stepping inside must succeed at a Ref Save to avoid catching fire (1d6 of damage immediately, 1d6 damage per round, NOT negated by Endure Elements, but fire resistance will apply). Each subsequent round the character must succeed at a DC 15 Ref Save to put out the fire. rolling on the ground or using a cloak to smother the fire gives a +4 to the save. A character catching on fire must make a Ref Save DC 15 for each piece of flammable equipment or else it takes the same amount of fire damage as the character.

Darren kills the small fire creature in front of him. If he can make a 5-foot step, he can probably make his remaining attacks on the other small fire creatures.

@Kaos: not quite, but Ireena will still wait as she can,t enter the room without burning up and there are only 2 small fire creatures left...
Then it is the small creature's turn. Both of them will attack Adrith. the somehow managed to his Adrith twice for a total of 4 points of damage, and now Adrith has to make a Ref Save against those creatures' burn ability.
Once Adrith has made his saves, Roland will reload and then it will be... well... Adrith.

Veroth marvels at how easily the party trusts the newcomer, while his own experience had often lead to immediate mistrust and condemnation. Not that he would complain, he is glad that the too familiar tension is not radiating from everyone
He watches the artifact as well. Could this wreck be the Sun Sword? It is undoubtedly magical, and powerful, to have survived in the furnace for however long.

Just throwing it out there as a possible solution you might like. Lets say both magic users have a first level spell, work together to cast it,expend the necessary spell slot, and spend the necessary time to make it a ritual of some sort.

Looking through the door, Mark estimates to be about 20 foot by 20 foot.

Mark test to see if the fire will go down into a pit. He will cast pit in the middle on the edge of the room before him to see if he magical fire will go down into the pit as well. He can do this since he has a create pit memorized.
Jan 29, 2019 11:40 pm
cast is it fairly much in front of my way into the room so I can see if it fills with fire or not.
Jan 30, 2019 12:13 am
Ah, okay, so squarely in front of the door.
Mark casts his spell, which creates a pit in the room. At first, things looks good, but the pit soon fills with fire, as if the room creates more fire to fill the extra space. However, it allows Mark to notice something before the fire fills the room. In the center of the room, there seems to be a round depression of about 1 feet in diameter and about 1 foot deep at the bottom of which is a copper disc inscribed with runes from which flames constantly erupts. This seems to be the source of the room's fire.

"I see. Lets try something." Mark turns his attention back to the room. He says an arcane word and he produces an orb in his hand and tosses at the copper inscribed disc to see if it affects it. He will do this three times.
He just casted acid splash.

As he peers around the corner, he spots two larger rooms which wooden walls and doors have rotted away long ago. In the north alcove, there is a huge stone table on which stands a large metal humanoid form which is motionless. Further past those alcoves, the floor turns back into rough hewn stone and the room continues into darkness.

Alright, it's the otyughs' turns then. The otyughs are dumb, but not that dumb (still within the realm of human intelligence)... so they'll probably climb to catch that tasty Veroth flying out of their reach.

They're using most of their tentacles to help them climb up. They used one to try and grab Veroth, but missed, but that tentacle went right into helping them climb again. Hitting the tentacles would have been possible with a readied action. Right now, you cannot see them.Mar 16, 2019 11:28 pm

OK. While I am asking questions why wasn't I able to save my first attack as a readied action? Is it because it is a spell?Mar 16, 2019 11:57 pm

You cannot ready an action while taking an action. If you take an action (casting a spell for exemple), you no longer have any action left to ready for later.Mar 17, 2019 12:30 am
OOC:
Ok, I thought because the scimitar can attack the same round the spell is cast I could ready that attack action that I hadn't used. Next time I will save the spell until it can actually attack. Can I ready an attack from it now? In case the tentacles appear again?
I don't want to get to get close enough to be attacked so I will cancel what I said earlier and cast Bless instead.
Mar 17, 2019 5:23 pm
OOC:
Hmm, good question, can you ready an attack form a spell that attack on its own? Can you still do so while using an action?Edit: Alright, after some reading, here's what I got. Readying an action takes a standard action, so you cannot cast a spell which requires a standard action and still ready a standard action.
Also, about Spiritual Weapon "attacking on its own", you still need to direct it. You cannot direct your weapon to attack a target you cannot see.
So this is how I interpret the current situation. You need to ready an action to direct your weapon to attack the otyughs when their tentacles shoot out. Once the weapon has been directed, it will attack the otyughs all on its own no problem. So right now, if you want to ready an attack with your spiritual weapon, you need to ready an action to direct it towards the otyughs, and you cannot do that if you cast Bless this round.
Mar 17, 2019 5:38 pm
OOC:
From the spell description "It strikes the opponent you designate, starting with one attack in the round the spell is cast and continuing each round thereafter on your turn" so it appears that once it is cast, it gets its own attack action each turn, separate from the casters actions. I don't see why that couldn't be a readied attack action.Mar 17, 2019 5:43 pm
OOC:
It also states that if the weapon ever goes out of your sight, it returns to you and hover. So if she sent the weapon to attack a target she cannot see which would result in her spiritual weapon breaking line of sight with her, this would result in the weapon returning to her without attacking, no?Mar 17, 2019 5:48 pm
OOC:
I would think if you casted Spiritual weapon at the Tentacles as part of the monster it would go and attack the monster itself, but when then it does, it would returned to you as the spiritual weapon attacking the monster put itself is out of your sight (Long tentacles). Spell implies that the spiritual weapon only responds to direct commands so it can't be set to Ready for an action. It requires a move action to make it attack something that is in your sight (or part of it as in the case of tentacles, but this again could cause it to return to caster if attacking the main body puts the spiritual out your physical sight and then it would again will return to you.) Tentacles don't have HP and are not considered monsters so they can't be physically attacked. Not everything in gaming is possible, but are considered part of the monster for possible targeting I think for the purpose of setting spiritual weapon to attack the main body. Just my opinion.Mar 17, 2019 5:52 pm
OOC:
Except that the tentacles shot out and retracted after her initiative (the otyughs are dead last). The rules also stipulate that readying an action still requires a standard action even if the action readied is a move, swift, or even a free action.Mar 17, 2019 5:55 pm
OOC:
The spiritual would never leave the caster if the caster could not direct it to a target on casting. Waste the first round of its use I would think. Spiritual weapon doesn't require a target to be casted.I would think as a your standard action that you could set it attack a target. That of course take your take your standard action when it activates. And till your delayed action happens you can't do anything. And this would be done on your round after you casted it. So then you have wasted the first two rounds of the casting that is if the target doesn't appear the round you put your delayed action on.

OOC:
I definitely shouldn't have cast the spell when I did, but it's too late now. I have learned a valuable lesson for next time, and I think it is a reasonable tactical mistake for her to make. No sense putting myself in danger just to save the use of the spell. I'll just keep it around as long as I can in case they do show themselves. So the summary is I have my spiritual weapon for 5 more rounds and I used this turn to cast Bless on my allies. No readied actions.
Sorry for not understanding the rules better.
Mar 17, 2019 10:38 pm
OOC:
Perhaps this can be explained in-game by a misunderstanding. Veroth did told you the otyughs were climbing, but did not told you how long it would take them to get here, and thus you made an assumption.Mar 18, 2019 3:31 am

Roland hits the tentacle holding Darren, completely severing it with both shots. The creature howls in pain, then thrashes about for a moment before going still, having died from exsanguination from the horrible wound delivered by Roland.Victory!

The creature looks at Roland a bit contemplative.
"Well, I did tried to warn you about the otyughs... though a little bit too late, I sort of had forgotten about them. they stopped bothering me a long time ago when they realized they could not drag me out of the circles and I could escape them easily by teleporting to another circle. Still, I am glad you are all still alive. Now, hmm, how could I prove to you my good intentions... Oh yeah, I know it. Hey you, at the bottom of the chasm. don't climb out just yet. Those otyughs are scavengers and they tend to collect baubles. Search the refuse down there, you should probably find something interesting!"
the creature looks back at Roland, a smile on its face, as if it was satisfied with how it "proved" its good intentions to you...

Darren shifts through the refuse and feels a bit disgusted by what he finds, rotting animal and vegetable matter, animal bones, even dried and fresh offal, but nothing valuable so far... He feels that whatever this treasure might be, it's not worth it further and deeper into that crap...
Apr 3, 2019 3:28 pm
Veroth calls up, "This place smells offal, and the human is getting green. Do we have ten or fifteen minutes for a thorough search?"

"I'm in no hurry... but the both of you will probably bee needing a bath once we get back to Barovia."

Veroth takes his time (and puts his pride aside) to thoroughly search the pile of refuse. Eventually, his determination pays off as he finds a ring, a suit of leather armor, 4 daggers with one looking to be of superior craftsmanship, and two small potion vials still full.
Apr 3, 2019 8:46 pm
Shaking the drippy bits off his wings, he gathers the items and flies up to the ledge where the others are no doubt laughing. "Here is what I found. Ring, leather armor which we should probably throw back in if isn't special, these daggers one of which seems nice, and these two vials which I am hoping aren't monster pee."
Apr 4, 2019 2:51 pm
Darren accepts the help of the others in climbing out of the pit and looks irritated by what he had to go through down there. His eyes flick back to the creature in the circles, "What do you think?" he asks the other quietly.
Apr 4, 2019 5:50 pm
The creature awaits expectedly in her circle, attempting to stretch her ear, as if she had a chance to hear you discuss among yourselves so far away...
Apr 4, 2019 6:58 pm
I don't know that we can trust it, but perhaps it would guide us in exchange for freedom?
Apr 6, 2019 3:10 am
"I am not sure we will be able to free her. The magic circles I looked at earlier were very complex."
Apr 6, 2019 3:44 pm
Answering Heather, Ireena says: "Didn't she said earlier that we could just break one and it would work? I don't know much about magic, but if we damage the floor upon which those circle are engraved, wouldn't that do something?"
Apr 6, 2019 4:55 pm
Might have to release her, if we wish. I can always come back later and pit the space under her to try to release too. Mark offers.
Apr 10, 2019 5:16 pm
Darren, growing tired of the back-and-forth, moves back to the circle where he accidentally attacked her and scratches out the runes.
Apr 10, 2019 10:35 pm
The runes are engraved in the stone. It will take some time, but Darren will eventually break the circle.
Apr 12, 2019 2:33 pm
Darren, unless somebody stops him, keeps working at the circle and releases the creature.
Apr 12, 2019 3:00 pm
Well, unless anyone stops Darren, it will take some time to scratch the circle. By the time he finishes, your stomachs will start rumbling, indicating that it is around noon...
Apr 12, 2019 11:05 pm
Eventually, the creature teleports to the circle Darren has broken. She looks elated as she slowly steps out of the circle.
"No, is this true? Am I dreaming? finally free! Finally free after all this time..."
She turns to Darren and hugs him.
"Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I'm sorry I misjudged you. You cam trough in the end, thank you."
She then composes herself and lets go of Darren.
"Hmm, yeah. Well I'll finally be able to go home. Anyways, I guess I should thank you."
She ruffles through her clothes for a moment and produces a handful of test-tube-looking vials full of a clear liquid.
"Here. I don't know what those are, but they looked important. They're not magical, I've checked... and it's not poison, I've checked that too... I had a lot of time on my hands... Well, hopefully they'll be of some use to you."

Darren smiles, "I'm just sorry for my mistake," he says, accepting the vials of liquid, "Best of luck to you out there."
Apr 12, 2019 11:47 pm
Veroth smiles at the response from the fae creature. At least, until he realizes how creepy some people find his smile. At which point he tries to clean more Otyugh filth from his feathers.
Apr 12, 2019 11:59 pm
"Can you tell us anything about the rest of this place? And do you have any supplies to make your journey home? And is the trip safe?"
Apr 13, 2019 12:05 am
We would hate to just free so you could perish getting out of here and all. That would seem to be a bit senseless.
Apr 13, 2019 12:05 am
The creature shrugs.
"After so long, who knows... Well, I guess this is goodbyes."
She then takes a step back and concentrates, as if she was trying to use some sort of innate magical ability. After some time, she looks confused.
"I can't teleport away... I don't understand, even if my home was destroyed, I should at least be able to teleport away. Oh, it must be that witch's doing! Who knows what sort of experiment she performed on me... this is troubling... Oh well, guess I'll just have to leave this valley the old fashioned way: by walking. IT will be much longer, but it should give me time to figure out why my teleportation failed..."
With this, Ireena chimes in.
"I'm assuming the reason why you cannot leave here is because of the mists. Those who enter Barovia cannot leave, unless that Devil Strahd allows them to..."
She speaks the words "that Devil Strahd" as if she was spitting out poison...
The creature looks shocked.
"What? Why? H-how? Who is this Strahd and how can I convince him to let me go? No, no, no. I did not finally escape captivity only to find myself in a different kind of captivity. No, I will not accept it!"

Ireena chimes in again.
"I was under the impression that the journal was going to be at the Lygasa Hill... maybe it's just a coincidence another witch lived here..."

"Oh, sweetie, I'm merely calling my former captor a witch because I hate her so much... she was actually a powerful sorcerer and diabolist. And I'm sure she's burning somewhere in the Nine Hells right now... But actual witches? And a devil named Strahd? This place has not turned out well since I was imprisoned... So, this devil Strahd, is he an actual fiend or is this just a nickname?"

Though I do not require, I do enjoy the taste of food and do like to indulge from time to time, but not too often, I am watching my figure after all. But I guess after several centuries of abstinence, I could nibble a bit if you have food to spare... Hmm, so what are we having for lunch?"

Heather is still a bit suspicious of the new being and will try and remember everything she knows about the Eladrins. Mostly ot assess if she is telling the truth and if what she knows matches what the woman looks like and has said.

Heather recalls what she's heard about Eladrins. They are indeed a type of celestial with many of them looking elf or fey-like. There are many different types including Coure, Bralani, Firre, Ghaele, Noviere Shiere, Shiradi, and Tulani. They have a variety of magical powers, but seem to all share the following: Darkvision and the ability to see in the dark, immunity to electricity and petrification, resistance to cold and fire, and the ability to speak with any creature which has a language.
Apr 14, 2019 4:27 am
You've heard more or less the same things about Eladrins. In addition you'll know that they are associated with Mount Celestia and the Feywild. You'll also know a bit more information on each type of Eladrins, and assume that she's most likely a Coure Eladrin, as most other Eladrins, while having some sort of elf or fey-like qualities, are either unmistakably outsiders or would, at the very least, look like they are planetouched...
Also, as far as you know, no teleportation powers, but then again, nothing prevents an Eladrin from learning to wield sword or magic (i.e. they can take character classes).

I usually don't bother moving counters around in out of combat situations, but yeah, that seems about right.As for lighting, didn't Darren or Heather cast a light spell earlier during the exploration of the complex? I'll have to look back. Worst case scenario, the runic circle on the ground still emits soft light.
Finally, there doesn't seem to ba any way to label counters outside of manually adding a boxed text and moving it along with the counter each time... There does seem to be an option for adding text to an object, and I've decided to try it with Darren's counter, but nothing seem to appear anywhere. At least it does not for me, if any of you can see "Darren" anywhere written around his counter or when selectionning it, then good for you, me, I am not seeing anything of the sort despite having added text to his counter...

Mark stands there talking to Shandra with his personal Ioun Stone doing slow laps around his head giving out 20' of lovely torch light. A quick eye will notice that Mark's shadow doesn't quite match him as the light moves about. It seems to be like a shadow of him staring at Shandra as it seems to look a bit off to side of Mark's body to see her rather than a shadow directly behind him from the ioun's light.

Yep, no I can't seem to add labels to the counter.

Right now it doesn't show it unless you zoom in twice. I'll try to make combat maps more zoomed in next time, it's just that when I made the underground complex, I got lazy and made the whole complex in a single map instead of making 3-4 separate battle maps...

Darren sits to rest for a bit while they share their rations with Shandra, "As far as Strahd goes, Devil is just a nickname. We've heard that he's terrible. I suppose that, to be in charge of this place, he must be!"

Shandra is a bit pensive, reflecting on what Darren just told her as she takes another bite of the meal offered by Roland. Hmm. So what is he then? I mean no offense, but mortals rarely reach this level of power... At least not through natural means..."

Yes, you do know he is a vampire. the Burgomaster's letter (the real one) identified him as such, then there were the bite marks on Ireena's neck, and finally when Durgrim met him in his own introduction, he did detected an overwhelming undead aura...Apr 19, 2019 5:05 am
She snickers. "A vampire? A simple vampire? Are you kidding me? you just need some stakes, silver, and holy water and that guy's toast... Expose him to sunlight. Drown him in running water. Find his coffin and trash it! And if things go bad, take refuge in any building, he can't enter unless he's invited in... It's not complicated."
Apr 19, 2019 5:09 am
Ireena's gaze narrows seeing Shandra's carefree attitude about the whole thing. "If it were so simple Strahd would have been killed long ago. Many have tried, trust me, but they failed. If you want to see their fate, simply go to the cemetery at midnight. No, that devil Strahd has terrorized my people for four centuries, maybe even more. He walks under the sun and enter homes as he pleases. Killing him won,t be as easy as you think it will be."

"No, sadly. As you could see, my centuries of imprisonment were limited to four teleportation circles, three of which were in that old laboratory over there. And my memories of the complex from when I first cam here centuries ago, only to fall into a trap are pretty limited. But given the half-melted state of that door over there, I do believe this was the room where the fire elementals were imprisoned... Hmm, now that I think about it, this sorcerer sure had a thing for imprisoning extraplanar beings..."
She then turns to Mark.
"Thank you. I do not really have any need which needs to be taken care of right now. Not needing to eat or drink is a great boon, I guess... As for accompanying you I'd love too, but I'm not entirely sure of how much help I'd be. Most of the spell I know are mostly utilitarian. I was more of a scholar, you see... I was always so curious. Had to prod and search everywhere so I could know anything about everything... I guess this is why I was so easy to lure and trap here... Also, centuries of imprisonment might have left my social skills a bit rusted..."

I mean, you can always explore the areas where the otyughs laired, I know it leads out somewhere: I used to see them drab back in fresh kills from time to time...

You're close to reaching the road again. From your point of view, the Lygasa Hills loom in front of you. the slope is a bit too steep at this particular area. You could continue down the road to go around it and find a more gentle slope there (using more or less the same road you used when you were trying to find Janis' hideout). You know that following this road, you will reach the ruined monastery pretty much at around sunset, you'll be cutting it close, assuming no distractions along the way. Or you could try to cut through the forest (and the unknown), and hopefully find a shortcut...

The Vistanis hesitate for a moment, unsure on how to proceed, but then come out of hiding and approach you. This is when you notice a fourth Vistani, another halfling, you all failed to notice. They approach cautiously and stop at about 30 feet away from you. One of the human Vistani then address you in their usual thick accent.

As the transparent figure approaches he widens his stance, "Well, Dame Seikert, I hope y'feel well disposed fer battle tanight." He still hasn't drawn any weapons, instead bringing his fingers to his lips and letting out a shrill whistle and gesturing at the wraith. "Come on, then!" In a flash, two swords, their blades long and straight are out, gesturing at the wraith again, this time much more rudely.
Lowering his voice he says to Hilde, "Follow me. We'll separate it from'the slower ones, force it ta come ta us an then deal with'em piecemeal."

The malevolent corpses run towards you, going as fast as they can in the thick underbrush, each snarling, showing ancient jagged yellow teeth as they approach menacingly. Crunching leaves and snapping branches or twigs punctuate the taping of their bare feet on the earth.

Mark does his best to run to the combat as he really can't see much from where he is now.
Jul 8, 2019 10:46 am
The ghostly hand passes through Ian's armor, leaving a burning chill on his skin. His features pale as one might if wandering outside on a frozen winter's night. He hisses and shudders but his eyes burn bright with anger and rage. Instead of looking fearful he gives the wraith a triumphant, arrogant smirk.
Despite the fell attack, the long haired human keeps his grace and brings both his blades to bare against it. As he swings to attack he summons up a portion of his own energy, the blades coming to life with a crackling hiss as they slash at the undead. "Now, dame Siekert! Hit with it everythin' you got!"
As he finishes his slashing combination of attacks, he hops back to give room for Hilde to attack it full-on. This close, his expression is visible, the wretched grin of one in pain but happy to fight through it.

Ian slashes furiously at the creature, however, it's incorporeal nature leaves it very much resistant to damage, and the attack did not have as much success as it would have had against a regular, solid opponent... Ian feels that unless the situation soon changes, he might find himself on the loosing end of this exchange of blows.
The other undead then act. 3 of them will attempt to get rid of this strange dire bat which suddenly appeared out of nowhere while teh third one will make a double move to get near Hilde.
The element of surprise must still have been too fresh on these corpses' mind as they somehow manage to all mist the dire bat, flailing in frustration at it more than any form of coordinated attack...

After the spectral figure had clawed him, grazing him despite his cautious movements, Ian had danced back to give Hilde room to work. Now that she was busy tearing the phantasm apart, he checks his surroundings. A disgusting, vile corpse had rushed them and just as Ian was going to meet it he watched a winged drow pierce its chest with a rapier. Although it was a vital hit, the fetid thing stayed up. With a casual grace the long-haired swordsman steps forward, bringing both his blades to bear on the creature, seeking to make sure it's fully cut down without any chance to rise again.
He gives the winged Drow an arched eyebrow, "Declare yerself, stranger. Friend or dead man?" He pauses to look at the wings with a more wary look, before he takes a position to guard Hilde's back, "All clear on this front, dame Siekert."

"Hey, I asked you'a question," Ian calls out to Veroth with a displeased scowl on his youthful features. With a sigh, he looks to Hilde, "You alright here? I don't want the horses ta get too far." He looks over his shoulder, long hair trailing after him, as he looks over the woods.
