R1T10: "Rezah, Teofilo, Fallon ... wake up! We have our killer!" Lilim calls.

Lilim breaks out of the resin with a physical power rivaling that of the mighty Dorit. "It was always too good. Why the hell did you come back to us so soon after you found out your identity? You are like a small god, being as strong, fast, and smart as any of us. Now, I understand why. You're the lycan! You're the one that killed Kerrano, and now those two men that were with Helgath's crew. Now I know why Akima mentioned the possibility of us being on the dinner table!"

She steps back a few feet from the Scribe.

Everyone easily awakens.

End Round 1, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T26: Something happens to Lilim, her muscles growing heavy and eyelids getting heavier, but she gathers her will together and throws off the effect. It appears that the Scribe might have been dealing with something similar.

R2T21: Teofilo bolts up and stands and picks up his lyre.

R2T20: The cousin, already skittish, gets up and grabs his bow and quiver. "What's going on! What's going on!"

R2T14: The son does the same and shouts, "It's come back fer us!"

R2T13: "Ho! Everyone to the north end of the island!" calls the Scribe. He shakes his head. "No, Lilim, but you are the dangerous one within the group. You are a member of a house not truly of this quest. And of that house, the lord is a follower of a humanocentric religion, and his wife is a caller of creatures from the heavens. How they managed to be foolish enough to accept a scion of a truly sadomasochistic race ... one which daily reveals your inner evils, is only proof of your alien witchery. The Shard of Greed has affected you, and it isn't enough."

With incredible speed The Scribe moves forward into the space provided and turns his body with a bent-elbow handstand. He kicks his feet over his head to strike Lilim in her throat for 6 mod NL. He swings back to both feet and his had darts forth, badly, with his fingers extended but sort of squished together along with his thumb to create the illusion of a break, but he slams his fingers right into Lilim's mithral breastplate under her blackjacket. He hisses faintly in pain. He then spins so he kicks Lilim in the back of the head with the sole of his foot for 5 mod.

R2T12: "An ambush from the water!" says Brand to Gek'k, Rezah, and the cousins. He bolts across in a double-move. He manages to move at a speed that almost rivals that of Gek'k, and he gets around to the back side. He has his bow, and looks sort of confused. "Gek'k, Rezah? You better hurry to figure this one out!"

R2T11: Helgath gets up with his bow and says, "Yessiree, that thing cain't get from us now y'all's here. Sun's comin' up and we gonna' avenge our boys! Giddap, woman!"

R2T10: Lilim, it comes down to your strength and endurance vs. the Scribe's speed and tactics. He's hit you in the chin for a serious blow, the neck, and the head. He's not fighting to kill (yet), but he did just press those heritage buttons. Thing is, for all of your physical power everytime you've sparred he's always had just a hair more combat experience and his defenses are nearly impossible to overcome and you always lost. You focused more on destructive spells, and sort of reached a plateau on unarmed combat. To make matters more interesting, you are very sure that while you didn't hear any casting, that was definitely an attempt to put a powerful sleep enchantment on both of you.

What do you do?

R2T8: Gek'k hears the shouting. "Well this is certainly..."

Gek'k rushes to the other side of the island.

"Nothing can ever be straight-forward, can it...?" he mutters to himself as he moves.

R2T7: Kurna gets up and grabs her bow.

R2T2: Rezah hears the shouts and sees Brand and Gek'k bolt. [I am going to assume...] Rezah likewise heads back there in his heavy armor, drawing his scimitar as he goes. He, too, sees a very naked Scribe (though with a ring, a circlet, and boots) squared off against Lilim. You smell that Lilim is bleeding, and the Scribe smells particularly of swamp water as if he had just taken a bath in the lagoon.

Lilim?
