[Introduction] The Twist of Fate

[Ellmo]

The dark magic arrow of the skeleton glances harmlessly off of Truths armor. The fighting instincts ingrained in Truth seem to move his body perfectly allowing him to fight at maximum efficiency. As the skeleton archers are moved closer to him, Poised AssaultTruth drops low. His sword held poised at a perfect parallel to the ground, hovering centimeters over the lip of his shield, ready to strike out with maximum accuracy at any moment. Truth spins on the spot striking the skeleton that shot an arrow at him.

One of the Skeletal Archers (s6) crumbles to not more then a crumble of bone from the fury of Mithra's flame. Etain leaves her first opponent behind as she charges in to strike another, her spear glancing off it's ribcage. Truth's bladed assault proves clean as he hacks neatly and deeply into his foes, with all three swipes of his sword. Mule's assistance in keeping the archers in place for Truth does not go unnoticed as he harries them from their backs. Jin's mental powers overwhelm the archer as seems shaken entirely.

The prone skeleton pushes itself back to his feet and quickly fires upon Truth. The archer farthest from the pack unleashes its bolt upon Orrys. While the final one makes a short shot upon Mule, having noted his attacks from it's flank.

From up the road, A tall black figure steps into view, three crowned skulls adorn his shoulders as the rasping breath of something barely alive fills your ears. "I see my pets.. Have kept you busy... Now lets... make this fun...." the heads all speak in unison, then howl together finishing their sentence.

OOC Mule you gain 8 health from Orry's Inspiring word.

He leveled his staff at the creature, allowing the mystical energies to visibly accumulate at the weapon's head before Using Elemental Bolt

OOC He regains his surge+8. I actually forgot a feat, which would give him an additional +5 HP, but I undestand if you don't want to let that go for that use of the power.

Rolling his eyes at the newcomer, Orrys takes a slight step towards it, hooking his finger over his shoulder at Mithra. "Not that I take this fellow lightly, but come on, the outfit! Mithra, more fire, right... hm... three inches south of that crazy broach! And twist your staff thingy 30 degrees clockwise, you're not using the facets of the gem cleanly!"

Etain knew she was at her best when she was in constant motion but the archer that had denied her spear had garnered her blood-lust - despite the fact it likely did not possess any blood. The electricity that crackled from her weapon when she attacked began to grow and enshroud her entire form. Her eyes flashed the same color as she raised her longspear overhead abandoning any manner of martial discipline. It looked as if the rage building inside of Etain had finally overcome her.

She reigned down on the skeletal archer with a series of Thunder Hooves Rage

furious blows, the spirits of thunder and lightning filling her with strength. A bestial snarl escaped her as she planted her final strikes into the fiend, so enraged she almost forgot to breathe. Satisfied for the moment she took a spry hop backwards curious to see if there was anything left of the archer.

One of the skeletal bowmen turns and fires upon his own ally, the unfortunate undead archer collapses into a pile, defeated. Just after the first archer shakes and crumbles himself. While Etain and Orrys pound upon the the final archer, but it proves lucky in that blows strike soft or blades glance of it's boney form. With a clacking gnash of it's lipless mouth it releases a bolt at Etain.


The two concussive waves of elemental fire released by Mithra hammer across the three headed figure, with a deathly hiss and a flash of anger, one if it's heads falls clean from it's shoulders and smashes upon the ground. With a glare of vengence it stares upon Mithra, while it raises it's staff at Truth.

Mithra meets the now-two-headed monster's stare, Mithra has Resist 10: fire, negating the damage.unaffected by the flames welling up around him. The sorcerer spins his staff about him, absorbing the crackling fire into the clear crystal at the weapon's head. "You embarrass yourself, creature. You hope to dismiss a master of the arcane with simple flame? Please." Mithra mocks his enemy, before Using Elemental Bolt

Smiling with his success against the pair of archers, Jin turns his attention to the last archer. "I have no idea how much that one has taken a beating... I might as well make it drop it's guard for my allies who are attacking it!"

Lashing out with his mind, Jin attempts to 27 v Willbreak through the 6 damage, not added to mapcreatures mental defenses and -2 to attack rolls and -2 to defenses till End of My Next Turncause it to drop it's guard, opening it to attack.

"Attack the last archer now! His guard is down!"

Orrys steps up to the last archer, gesturing for Mithra to continue his assault, hoping the sorcerer can finish things off. "There, mage! It's not paying attention!"

He then quickly takes note of everyone's distance from the new enemy, and frowns. "Everyone, hop to! Get aver there!" For some reason, the gnome's voice carries, and everyone does, indeed, hop to.

[Raizen]

Etain’s fury would not be wasted. If the grip on her longspear was any tighter her hands were likely to start bleeding. The air around her crackled with electricity as she let out another wailing howl. The ground crumbled beneath her heels as she charged at the final foe oblivious to her allies.

“AARGGHHHHH”

Her spear surged with energy as she planted it cleanly in the skeleton’s chest. She almost hoped the abomination was still standing so she could pound on it more. Etain snarled as she ripped her weapon out of the corpse. Undead were no fun. Even demons could be moved to fear. But the undead felt and thought nothing.

Between the combined onslaught of attacks, the final archer crumbles to nothing but dust.

The two headed figure narrowly dodges Mirtha's bolts, it's cloak slightly seared. Mule's back handed attack just isn't strong enough as the figure blocks his blow with it's staff.

Without a word, the staff turns and curls toward Mule's head. While one of the skulls heads glares down hard upon him.
