1.2 - In Search of Sanity - The Dead Don't Dream

Grim grips his crossbow and readies for battle.

Razhel rushes through the open door and slides to the right. She takes aim and fires at the closest of the two opponents within.

Grim snatches open the door nearest him on the same wall and quickly enters to discovers the two cultists beginning to face off against them. He brings up his crossbow and takes a shot at the one directly ahead of him.

Before the robed ones can react, Razhel steps in and unleashes a crossbow bolt that skewers the woman's arm, just above the elbow. She lets out a cry of pain.

Grim throws the other door to the room open and rushes forward, raises his own crossbow and releases a bolt that hits this man as he squeezes onto one of the dolls he was playing with. The bolt sinks into his stomach, but the twisted face within the robes looks determined as much as anything else.

The robed man moves forward to retaliate, raising the doll (an foot long thing made of wood) and tries to bash Grim in the head. Grim is too quick, however, and he dodge the blow entirely.

The woman, weaponless, looks around and spots a crowbar lying near her on a shelf. She takes it up and shouts, "Zandalus sees all, blasphemers! You will die!" She moves towards Razhel.Initiative:

Razhel: 22
Grim: 22
Apostles: 20, AC 15 (A: 10/16hp)(B: 8/16hp)
Axon: 8
Elias: 6
Iosef: 5

Razhel punches the woman in the chest with a well placed fist.

As Blondie and Eyes tackled one cultist, he hoped he could help even the odds for Hat!

ደማቅ ጨለማ

Light flashed before the cultist's eyes, and he hoped he'd momentarily disoriented and silenced the madman!

The man holding the doll raises the toy up to his face and stumbled back on one foot at the blinding light. He let's out a shout, but no sound emits from his throat.

Iosef pulls his dagger and moves down the hall to the door behind Grim, summoning his courage to rush in and attempt to stab the male cultist.

Elias moves up and attacks the enemy (Z10). Swinging his sword in a heavy slash, he hopes to end the fight.

Grim attacks with crossbow even though he's close.

Razhel fist smashes into the woman's solar plexus, driving the wind out of her and causing her to choke on her words as they leave her mouth. She looks up in astonishment just as Elias closes in and brings his sword to bear. It slices neatly into the the space between her neck and shoulder, biting several inches through cloth, flesh, bone, and muscle. A torrent of blood spouts from the wound as he pulls his sword free.

The other man blinks away the flash of light and thrashes out at Grim with the wooden doll, intending to bludgeon him. The swing is wild, however, and fails to connect. Blinking, the man takes a timid step back, scared.

Suddenly the door across the hall is thrown open. Another man in a lengthy yellow cloak appears, holding what appears to be a broken chair leg as a makeshift club. Seeing Iosef in front of him, he steps forward and attacks the spectacled elf. The club strikes him hard in the head and Iosef finds it nearly impossible to remain standing, yet he manages somehow.Initiative:

Razhel: 22
Grim: 22
Apostles: 20, AC 15
-----(A: dead
-----(B: 8/16hp)
-----(C: 16/16hp)
Axon: 8
Elias: 6
Iosef: 5 (-7hp)

Iosef, his head filled with pain and a reverberating *hum* singing between his ears, steps back, raises his crossbow, and lets a bolt fly, though in his state his aim is way off."Wh-why?" he thinks to ask, a hand going up to feel at his wound.

He began to feel pity for the doll-wielding man but then roared when the new cultist savagely attacked Glasses!

ጥቁር ሜትሮይትስ

"Void frost take you!" he cursed the latest attacker!

Grim tries to hit his opponent again. He misses...AGAIN.

Elias turns as he hears Iosef cry out in pain. Seeing his comrade being attacked, Elias rushes over to assist hoe ever he can.
