1.3 - In Search of Sanity - Never-Ending Nightmare

Iosef fires off one more shot before pausing to think as hit becomes clear the bolts aren't going to be too effective.

'I am going to regret this.' He mumbles to himself as he drops the cross bow and moves forward drawing his own normal dagger.

Iosef's bolt flies beyond the enemy to no affect, but the brave shaman wades closer to the melee in spite of this, positioning himself near Axon.

The Tatterman raises his hands outward and speaks an incantation. "Nighty-night," he says with a laugh and disappears before your eyes.

As the Tatterman raises his hands, Elias sees an opening at tries to finally put an end to this abomination. Just as he makes his move, the thing disappears, leaving him to stab empty air."Where? Where did that thing go?" he turns around trying to figure out where the Tatterman could be, maybe there's some clues in the way the mist moves or footprints somewhere...

Grim recognizes the spell.

Grim swings at the seemingly empty space around himself. "Its still here." He says to the others. "Its only vanished from sight."

A horrendous cackling fills the air, much like nails on slate. The shape of the Tatterman rematerializes to the south-west as it chants and sends a spell hurtling toward you. The energy fills the air, centered near Razhel, Grim, and Elias - they instantly feel the gentle caress of sleepiness wash over them as the dream stalker maneuvers out of sight behind the crumbling wall nearby.

As Elioas falls into a slumber IOsef runs over and begins to shake. My friend, now is not the time for slumber!

"Now you hold still, you bastard!"

ጥቁር ሜትሮይትስ

Grim and Razhel brush off the magical sleepiness, but Elias falls to the ground as the slumber takes hold.

Iosef quickly takes action to run up to the Elias, shaking him awake successfully. Elias comes to, prone on the ground, a moment later.

Axon sends more motes of icy meteorites down upon their foe, hoping to silence the Tatterman's magic (Reflex: Saved), but the motes fall around him and fail to make contact.

Razhel takes the opportunity to rush up and grapple the Tatterman, easily taking him into a clutch hold. The Tatterman, now grappled with Razhel, shrieks, "How dare you lay hands upon I that has walked the dreams of emperors and slain thousands!?" He throws a hand up to rake its clawed hand against Razhel's face. Its nails dig into Razhel's face and leave a long series of gashes from forehead to chin, blood dripping from the open wounds (Razhel: -8hp).
