Chapter One - Part One: Greenest In Flames

"MORE OF TH-" is all the dwarf manages to get out before Octavia's spear rushes through the air and sticks itself deeply into his broad chest finding a gap in his armour. He coughs up a big glob of blood before keeling over dead.

Kirsk slams his warhammer into the shoulder of the nearest cultist, who curses and instantly tries to retaliate with his sword. He manages to cut into the half-orcs arm, but he looks very hurt. The second cultist goes after Kel and despite her lightening reflexes manages to hit her as well. Octavia deftly dodges the third cultists wild strike.

Start of Round 2

Kel staggers the cultist with a swift punch, finds a gap in his armour and stabs her sword into his side before delivering a kick to the hilt of the sword to bury it deeper within his torso. As the cultist falls dead to the ground, Kel grabs the hilt and easily pulls the sword out, readying herself for further combat.

Kirsk swings with his warhammer and the cultist ducks, but it opens him up for Olivia to swing her mace forcefully down onto his back. He looks extremely hurt like the other guy, but he’s still alive. He tries a desperate swing against Kirsk, but his back is clearly not right and it’s very simple for Kirsk to simply sidestep the blow. The other cultist however screams in rage as he takes advantage of Octavia being momentarily distracted to swing down hard and leave a big bleeding gash in her shoulder.

The cultist that Zachary points at clasps his hands to his ears and drops screaming to his knees. You see blood starts pouring out of them as well as from his eyes as his scream fades into a gasp and he keels over dead.

Octavia swings her mace upwards and catches the last cultist square on the jaw. His head snaps violently backwards and he falls limply to the ground. All is now quiet apart from the intermittent thud from the other side of the temple.

You walk through the smoke and move over to the back door. You see that the cultists really did do a terrible job at trying to start a fire. They’ve stacked to bales of hay up against the door, but the hay looks too wet to ever really catch on and even now you can’t really see any embers. It’s still producing a fair bit of smoke though. The door itself is solid wood and despite a few small scorch marks it looks relatively unscathed.
