Seven Days to the Grave [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

Vivino knows its not that far down that his monkeyfish extract would run out.

So, Vivino would climb down first.

That leaves Adelaide to operate the lift, and Seelah and Dane to go down so noboy squeezes. Also, Harsk will go down with the second group (Lem, basically), because that allows him to protect Lem up top as well as get his badger Biter (who, as a Small creature himself, still takes up a 5' square). Sigur is nowhere to be seen. Lilim waits patiently.

Not only is there a friggin UNICORN HORN suddenly growing out of the top of Seelah's head, but also coming into view from nowhere are silken sashes bedecked with bells and silvery charms criss-crossing her torso and tying about her waist in an elaborate knot before trailing off into sparkling light!!!

Vivino begins his climb down. As he climbs down, he finds that monkey fish greatly increases his climbing ability, but it is not perfect. Vivino is better at using the cables of the lift in tandem with the wall than trying to flat-climb the wall itself. He (likely) moves silently below, trying to do what he can. One thing he does realize is that he can't see a damn thing but above, through the hole in the lift cabin. Down below, there is absolutely no light whatsoever. Does Vivino try to do a blind climb anyway?

Luckily, Vivino had much farther to go to his set of doors than Dane, so hadn't quite made it to his set of doors when Dane's trap sprang. So, if the southern door is trapped, Vivino hadn't gotten close enough yet.

It isn't a gas, and Vivino holds his breath all too late for it was a dosing of powder that got everywhere. Still, Vivino's skill at overcoming poison and already having felt the effects of this poison keep him from suffering more. Seelah's divine protection keeps her well protected. But in asking about the trickery, Dane only takes in a bigger gulp of the strange powder that tastes reminiscent of the smell of ash from a cremated body. Dane coughs several times, each time he feels his sense of self worth impacted. So foolish that a dwarf should succumb to poison. It gnaws at him as such.

Round One (for timing) ...

R1T16: Vivino, you already took a mouthful of this before you could react to hold your breath. And holding your breath includes a mouthful of the dust. Now that the dust has mostly settled, you'd be better off spitting out what's in your mouth and breathing normally. What do you do?

You have no indication that Dane suffers from the poison, so please don't metagame a helpful reaction in that regard.

"Perhaps I should see if I can remove that trap, if it can be called such, before the others come down below. Is any of you able to assist?"

Initiative over, at which point .... Dane tries to wave a hand to clear some ash. "Im fine,*Cough, cough* just wasn't expecting dust."

Dane coughs and gags a bit at the dust in his mouth and nose while thinking how he could have fallen for such a juvenile trap.

By the way, Vivino spends his round not moving, staring at the trap. He sees that it is trapped, as the others were, but it took him a little extra time to be sure.

Neither Seelah nor a unicorn are going to be good at removing traps.

So, will Vivino go on independent ops, or wait for Adelaide and the others.
1) Independent Ops: Failure means that fewer people are affected.
2) Larger Team: Might mean somebody is there to assist.

[lostsole31]

Dane opens the door, and moans are heard from within.

Begin Round One ...

R1T25: Adelaide moves forward quickly, bow in hand, stands atop the dead Queen's Physican, and opens the westernmost of the two doors. "Plague victim!" she shouts. "Don't know if alive and bad, or undead. I think the latter. Don't know."

R1T20: Lem darts inside while drawing his masterwork cold iron short sword. "Plague zombie! They're going to blow up and douse an area with plague ... and holding breath isn't going to help. Well, here goes!"

Dane sees him stab that front one in the arm for 4 mod.

R1T16-15: Green moves forward and swings at Lem, and when it does, Lem steps closer into its square. Red charges Adelaide, its fist just skimming off her armor.

R1T14: Vivino, your monkeyfish expired. You have Improved Outflank with Harsk, Dane, Lem, and Seelah. Your see invisibility is operating (and will for some time). What do you do?

R1T14: Vivino cracks his neck and darts into the room. He closes in on the one attacking Lem and swings his mace at its neck. He doesn't quite get the neck, but does get the upper check to crumple in its torso some and destroying the plague zombie, which explodes in a burst of decay and bone and sprays of necrotic gore.

R1T13: Harsk was ready to let fly, but he was distracted while Vivino ran in, as his whole body's musculature seems incredibly tense and taut and he seems to be in pain. It lasts for a few seconds, but then Harsk is focused again. He shoots Blue in the chest for 3 mod + 5 fire, speed reloads (a frickin heavy crossbow) and says, "Biter, stay."

He then shoots again, hitting Blue in the arm for 3 mod +1 fire ... and reloads again.

R1T13: Dane, there's no way to tell, but if what Lem said was true, then Vivino and Lem were both exposed to plague. What do you do?

R1T13: Dane moves forward toward the zombie and lifts his earth breaker up and brings it down on the zombie with all his might, while calling out, "Get ready, it'll likely blow here!"

Sure enough, Blue does exactly that ... splooshing goosh all oover the booys.

R1T7: With an impressive ability to corner and turn, Lilim flies through the door the men went through and circles around to threaten the last plague zombie. From her hands form a black staff that grows out until a large, crescent-shaped blade forms at the top end, edged by water appears to be some type of flowing, silvery water. She cuts downwards and destroys the zombie in a single blow, which explodes all over herself and Adelaide.

R1T23: Dane take's in the situation and holds out a hand to stop Seelah. "A vampire eh? Stop, Seelah! First and foremost , we are here to save people. I have the ability for a time to see through lies and Ramoska here spoke the truth."

Dane looks Ramoska over as if studying him before asking. "Tell me, Ramoska, will you release this man to us? He is a victim in all this and need not be further involved, I don't know your situation or how you became like this but it seems you are at least in command of your own mind."

R1T19: "Not just like that, of course not, he is valuable to me," Ramoska answers, but crouching slightly for total defense. "But we could work a trade, as you are not likely to leave without him."

R1T17: Harsk and Biter sneak forward, Harsk with a shot readied.

R1T16: A little rat sticks his head out of Ramoska's long coat, before ducking back down.

R1T15: Adelaide's voice is heard casting a spell, and Vivino sees her do so before she disappears from view.

Of the table, Vivino does not see any easy or quick release, if he were looking to do a smash-and-grab.

But she recalls the ninth Act of her patron, when Iomedae gave nine drops of her own blood to a vampire-wizard in exchange for the freedom of nine righteous knights. ”We will allow you to go free in exchange for this man’s life. But know that if I see you again, Ramoshka, I will destroy you.”, she says through clenched teeth.

R2T23: Dane delays, waiting for Ramoska's reply.

R2T19: Ramoska, carefully eyeing the room, looks to Seelah (which in no way says he is distracted and not aware of anyone else). "You have given an extortive ultimatum, and dressed it up as a negotiation. Telling someone "do this or die" is not any type of bargain, but very much the short-sightedness of a paladin of Iomedae. If that is the case, and you do not wish to bargain, and you wish to threaten and do violence, even though you know that this man's life is likely to be taken by me in the interim ... thereby showing that violence against what you believe to be 'evil' is more important than the safety of an innocent. Now, shall we actually bargain, and have you listen to such, or just commit to violence because that is the only language you speak?"

R2T11: Lem looks to Seelah. "Listen, Lady. Yeah, it ain't perfect, but if he's giving us a means of saving that guy, let's see what the price is, and if it is too much for our pockets or our souls before committing everyone to this fight."

As the party closes to what appears to be a large, circular chamber, a single cultist of Urgathoa steps out, the light glow about her signaling that she is ready for battle.

"Hold!" she calls out. "What is it you seek here at Urgathoa's fane?"

R1T20: Harsk is heard groaning in some type of pain before he wheels out from the back to the head and north of the party. His diplomatic response is shooting her in her unprotected left calf for 12 + 2 fire. He speed loads his crossbow.

R1T18: Adelaide has been invisible for several minutes, and her arrow reveals herself, as she is standing by Harsk out of line of the rest of the party. The arrow hits the woman in the neck for 27, dropping her.

Just then, two figures appear from around the sides. These wretched human figures have tight leathery skin, sunken eyes, and emaciated frames, yet move with eerie alacrity. They both wield short swords.

Round One ...

R1T28: Harsk, not even waiting to "talk it out" as the female voice had mentioned, grunts as if in pain rather than a dwarven grunt of resolution, ripples of muscles moving about under his skin. He looks to the party. "I'm going to call for help. Cover me! Biter, guard me!" He steps back 5' and then begins concentrating.

R1T26: A third of these dead-walkers comes zooming into the hallway from the south and stabs the now-visible Adelaide in her groin for 10.

R1T24: Lilim moves past the front line and drawing on reserves of energy throws out a blast that hits one of these dead-walkers (Blue) square in the abdomen with a soft crit for 18 acid. In addition, the burst explodes in acid, engulfing the other two dead-walkers. Though quick, they are unable to jump out of the way and Red gets hit for 8 acid (and a destroyed short sword), and Green gets hit for 16 acid.

R1T22: That woman's voice is heard again, chatting from the blue-glowing chamber beyond. A woman with a great scyhe, walking 10' off the ground, is barely seen for a brief second, walking over the tunnel's entrance (she is too high to be targeted at this time).

R1T19: The Red dead-walker whose shortsword was melted closes on Adelaide and misses wildly with its fist.

R1T18: Adelaide steps back - to close ranks on Harsk, but to give herself breathing room, giving a good look at Green. She then lets loose with a volley of arrows. Her first is a manyshot that plugs right into Green to destroy it! The next arrow is at Red's left hand for 6 mod, and a final arrow to its left shoulder for 11 mod.

R1T17: Lem takes out his flute and begins to play a jaunty tune that fills the hero's hearts with courage!

R1T15: A different woman's voice is heard from the chamber beyond.

R1T13: Blue dead-walker charges Lilim, but can't get past her armor.

R1T12: Seelah, what do you do?

R1T12: Seelah, keeping herself behind her shield, advances down the hallway towards the welcome party. As she passes Blue, it stabs her with a lucky soft-crit in the right shoulder for 10. She then goes to sidestep Red who (wow) also gets a lucky soft crit with its fist against her head for 12. She passes the very lucky gauntlet to get to the room beyond.

R1T10: Dul'Dane Thunderbreaker smiles at Seelah having taken a worthy sacrifice, for he follows up by being ignored by Blue while he steps up to Red. "Drinking Companion here will take your heads, by the Lucky Drunk, and justice will be served!" He then mentions a few words to Lilim for tactics on outflanking Red. He finally ends his action by bringing his earthbreaker to bear on Red's left shoulder at an odd angle to crumple and destroy Red.

R2T18: Adelaide goes running in and calls out, "Bogey to the north! Woman with scythe. Flying woman above me with scythe. Seelah looks like something has affected her!"

Adelaide casts a spell on herself, disappearing from view.

R2T17: Lem continues playing his flute, moving forward to fill in where Adelaide was a second ago to protect his boss. In a brief interim, he casts a spell on himself, and seems like an even more magnificent version of himself.

R2T12: Seelah calls out, "I've been blinded by some type of spell from a flying woman about 10' from me, 10' in the air! I'm backing out!"

Seelah then begins to withdraw, using the wall to help her from getting too confused. She goes until she bumps into Lem.

R2T10: "It's okay, miss. You've done right by us even for this little bit," says Dane reassuringly to Seelah. He casts a spell and touches Seelah for 6 healing. Dane senses that this area is not friendly to his holy magic.

He steps forward. "Somebody help me screen Seelah from any mischief!"

R2T6: "Hello there lass," Vivino says as he walks towards the Sythe wielder as he calmly puts his mace away. "No need for this anymore."

Then with a howl of rage, his hands extend into claws and mouth grows into a muzzle of teeth. One claw slashes towards her belly, digging into her hide shirt, only to be stopped by what seems like thick skin.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T28: Harsk appears to grow an inch and he groans in pain from the shift, but contains to focus on what he's doing.

R3T24: Lilim moves up in front of Seelah, and then says, "Seelah, use my shoulders, and then Dane's, to get to the other side of the passage, and then move back from battle so you aren't a liability."

Meanwhile, Lilim takes up a defensive posture.

R3T22: The woman walking on the air moves back east several feet so that while still 10' off the ground, she can see most of the party (who in turn can see her). She casts a spell, using an unholy symbol that looks like an ugly bug and finishes it off by calling out, "Fall .... before the might of the Pallid Princess!"

A wave of mental power washes over everyone when she says "fall" ... and Dane, Lem, Lilim, Seelah, Vivino, and Biter (basically, everyone except Harsk) ... fall prone. Worse, they feel compelled to stay prone.

R3T18: An arrow sails up and hits the air-stepping woman in the lower side above the hip for 23, but now Adelaide's position is revealed.

R3T17: Lem, even though he fell, continues to playing his flute. "I ... I can't stand up!" he cries out during a whole-note rest, but his courage still fills the party.

R3T15: "I am Jaethal, cretin," says the elf to Vivino, "and I am no rank-and-file to be bothered by the likes of you."

She stands a strange way, as one born of darkness. She swings her scythe above her head before doing a hand-crossover maneuver that throws off Vivino's expectations before chopping downwards with power. Vivino turns to wriggle away, and gets hit in his lower back, buttocks, and hip, managing to keep the blow from getting hit in the groin, but he still takes 18 mod + 1 STR.

R3T12: Seelah says a quick prayer, touching herself for 8 healing. She sheathes her sword and takese out a wand. "I am blind, but not useless. I recognize the wisdom of not being on the front, but now I shall concentrate on healing."

R3T10: Dane is unable to throw off the compulsion to stay down. He crawls as far as he can to the east to be ready for when he can rise again.

R3T9: Though prone, Biter continues to be defensive.

R3T6: Vivino, you are raging and prone. What do you do?

R3T6: As Vivino lays there, some of his wounds heal and he quaffs another extract while at the same time he gets hit by Jaethal for 15 mod in the left elbow. As he grates his teeth in effort as his body is beginning to undergo a physical change, he growls out, "Congratulations on having a name .... but you are still just a pawn following a a deity that has to hide deep underground."

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T28: Harsk grows a set of very small claws, yet still more than the tiny needles of claws he had last battle. He continues to concentrate.

R4T24: Lilim delays ...

R4T22: The compulsion making everyone feel that they must remain prone lifts. Lady Andaisin steps down a few feet, snarling at Adelaide. "Dirty Pathfinder. I've been trained to break the body and minds of you meddlers."

She then unleashes her full fury against Adelaide. Putting her full power behind the swing, she hits Adelaide in the chest with her scythe for 30, but takes 2 herself; then the scythe catches Adelaide in the head for 28, taking 2 herself; then, in the chest again for 26, taking 4 herself ... and it is this last blow which fells Adelaide.

"And that," Lady Andaisin says, "is what I do to Pathfinders."

R4T21: Lilim and flies into the next room, getting on level with Lady Andaisin and 10' from her.

R4T17: Lem continues to play his flute, but casts invisibility on himself, and his music is heard moving slightly west now.

R4T15: Jaethal seems to do a sequence of strange martial maneuvers, though her feint fails this time. Still, her scythe strikes Vivino in his inguinal muscle at the groin for 14 mod + staggered.

R4T12: Seelah calls on Iomedae to heal her for 13 healing. She then casts eagle's splendor on herself and stands up.

R4T10: Dane stands up. "Adelaide's down!" he calls out while closing on Jaethal. "Status unknown."

R4T6: Vivino, that shot to the groin has weird energies that built up while causing you intense pain and you take 3 (internal, so not reduced by DR). You grow to your enlarged height, slowly pushing the corpse of the cultist away as you do. You are prone and staggered. What do you do?

R4T6: More of Vivino's wounds heal as he gets to his feet, but not before he gets hit in the back by Jaethal's scythe for 11 mod.

"Hope that backup is coming soon Harsk. Seelah can you bring forth any assistance? Can someone get to Adelaide?" Vivino calls out, growing in frustration as he looks to unleash his rage upon anything.

"I'm blinded!" calls Seelah.

"On it!" says Dane.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T28: Harsk's skin seems to ripple all about, as again it seems to cause him pain, yet he endures and concentrates.

"I don't know ..." continues Seelah.

R5T22: Lady Andaisin backs up to the west and regains her original 10' altitude. She casts a spell, and a ghostly scythe appears near Harsk and attacks him, cutting him in the right shoulder for 10 force, and then missing the second attack.

"...Adelaide is."

R5T21: Lilim creates her own strange scythe .... the one made of inky blackness but for the quicksilver or gleaming water at the edge. She ignores Lady Andaisin for now and swoops back to flank Jaethal with Vivino. Despite the height advantage, it is a deceptive low cut that strikes Jaethal in her right knee. There is a flash from the quicksilver and Jaethal is instantly destroyed, as well as her cold iron scythe, though the rest of her equipment falls to the ground.

Lilim looks to Vivino, and gives a nod of emphasis, though her features are otherwise too strange and difficult to read.

R5T17: Lem continues his flute playing, his music now playing in the chamber.

R5T12: Seelah moves up, bumping into Vivino. "Vivino, if you need healing, let me know before you walk off."

R5T10: "Just you now, precious," says Dane tauntingly to Lady Andaisin as he moves over to Adelaide. He casts a quick healing spell on Adelaide. He then adds to his allies, "Dropped stabilize on Adelaide. Still don't know her status, but I wasn't wasting time with triage first."

R5T6: Vivino, you are no longer stabilized, and there is no longer additional pain or continuing injury from your groin. You are raging. What do you do?

R5T6: "I am well enough Seelah, but if you could follow the sound of my footsteps I will lead you to Adelaide," Vivino says. He moves around the chamber to the north to end up between Adelaide (he's actually partially standing over Adelaide) and the Lady Andaisin. He then makes a swipe with a massive claw, but finds that her breastplate is a powerful defense, despite Lem's jaunty music aiding Vivino.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T28: Harsk hide ripples again as he again gives groans of pain from whatever is happening to him, but he maintains concentration. "Somebody ... dispel that thing ... if you can," he grits through his teeth.

R6T22: The floating scythe swings twice, each time skipping off of Harsk's armor. Lady Andaisin steps back as if she were walking and not flying, and she concentrates on a spell and casts it. The spell is successful, for where Vivino was able to easily keep track of Lem (who was invisible), Vivino can no longer see the halfling. Well, at least that's a friendly.

R6T21: Lilim flies over by Adelaide and tends to her. "Adelaide is dead. I am sorry," she says matter-of-factly, "but we shall see that Urgathoa's daughter is expunged from this land."

R6T17: Lem continues playing, but his music obviously heads west into the tunnel again. "Get ready," he calls out between rest notes, "I'm going to put the flute away in a sec to change things up."

R6T12: Seelah traces her way around the wall and fountain. "Well enough, is not completely well," says Seelah, crestfallen at the death of a party member.

R6T10: Dane gives a good Caileanite curse under his breath. "I'm sorry, Adelaide. Rest now in the hall of heroes."

Dane now starts moving counter-clockwise around the fountain, casting a quick spell that is luckier than he expected when a bolt of acid crits Lady Andaisin in the head for 8 acid. This is the first visible wound she's taken.

R6T6: Vivino, what do you do? Though she backed up, she's still in reach.

R6T6: "You will pay for that!" Vivino cries as he steps forward to unleash claws and teeth. "Let's see what you taste like."

Vivino's claw passes dangerously close to the priestess' face, so much so that just as he misses her, she bites him on his hand for 2 mod ... she is really surprisingly strong! Of course, that was foolish, because as she does that Vivino is able to land his second claw in her stomach for 13. That hurt her, though she pulls away from his follow-up bite.

End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

R7T28: Tiny claws poke through Harsk's boots, and that doesn't seem to be a regular thing with him at all as those are new holes, and there is blood that comes with it, but still he concentrates.

R7T22: The ghostly scythe completely misses Harsk both times. Lady Andaisin sidesteps again, but still in reach of Vivino. She concentrates on a spell, Vivino very nearly making her trip, but she finally succeeds. This time, another spiritual scythe is formed, but goes after Vivino! It swings at him, just barely catching him in the side of the abdomen for 8 force, but the second swing clangs against his armor.

R7T21: Lilim flies up and around to get flanking for Vivino.

R7T17: Lem's flute stops playing. Then, he is heard telling jokes. It is the same buoying effect as before, though it seems like it is some effort to stop one thing to start another.

R7T12: Seelah has a unicorn horn that glows, and as it does so, Sterling appears again. "Sterling, I am blind and cannot fight. You must do so in my stead. Dane! Please point out the wicked woman for Sterling to smite," she says as she mounts Sterling.

R7T10: "HER!" calls out Dane, pointing to Lady Andaisin.

He then gets clear of the big statue of Urgathoa in the fountain over milky fluids that he can get a clear shot at the villainess. "Now, Lady Andaisin - for the nosferatu has named you..." (which garners a hiss of anger from the woman) "... you will not escape this place with cheap trickery."

He casts a spell, and fires a ray that hits her squarely in the gut. It doesn't appear to do any damage, but Dane seems quite happy with the shot anyway.

R7T6: Vivino, what do you do?

Harsk on deck, Lady Andaisin in the hole ...

R7T6: As the Lady becomes distracted from Lilim, a toothy smile nearly splits Vivino;s face in two. Claws and teeth look to make quick work of her organs. The first claw slams against her breastplate, but the second slashes her right along the tendons of her right hand for 32, and his bite just manages to find purchase in her upper right arm for 27.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T28: Harsk's skin continues to ripple and shudder painfully as he concentrates.

R8T22: The ghostly scythe at the end of the hallway slashes Harsk for 8 force. The one attacking Vivino cuts along his belly for 10 force, and then his chest for 8 force. Lady Andaisin steps close to Vivino and carefully casts a spell, her hand seething with dark fire. She puts her palm directly on Vivino's head, and that dark energy crosses over into Vivino.

Vivino, roll a Fort save vs. a necromantic death effect!

R8T22: The fell energies of the priestess rock through Vivino's body for 55 damage!

R8T21: Lilim, seeing how good Vivino is at flanking, flies back into flank. She fights more for accuracy than power with that strange scythe of her own, cutting alongside the enemy's left flank for 32.

R8T17: Lem continues to tell jokes. Not that any can see, but Lem feeds a potion into Harsk to fully heal him.

R8T12: Seelah is just riding on Sterling, but trusting in the alicorn's judgment. Sterling is only at a 5' altitude because he doesn't want to smack Seelah's head on the celing. The alicorn proves incredibly swift as it flies all the way around, calling out to Iomedae to give him the power to strike dead the evil woman. A holy glow surrounds the mount and oddly, it still takes Lem's rather bawdy jokes about Lady Andaisin's presume sexual escapades for the holy creature's attack to hit true in her right lower leg for 20.

R8T10: Dane double moves around the fountain to stand by Vivino. "Now don't go anywhere, boy, that I might heal you!"

R8T6: Vivino, what do you do? You are flanking Lady Andaisin again.

Harsk on deck, Lady Andaisin in the hole ...

R8T6: "Aye, as much healing as you can muster would be appreciated," Vivino says. "Now let's see how much more blood this 'Lady' has left in her."

The first claw slashes against her upper left arm for 32, the second pongs off her armor, but the bite on her other upper arm does 31 tears her arm off at the shoulder. She falls out of the air, her back breaking horribly on the stone of the fountain. Her legs hang at an odd angle out of the fountain and towards the floor, while her 180-degree turned back as her her head and shoulders hidden in the pool. Meanwhile, there was a splash of the disgusting fluids on Dane, though Vivino moved his leg so as not to get splashed by the strange fluids of the fountain.

End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

R9T28: Harsk sees that but doesn't stop, though nothing weird or painful seems to happen to his body.

R9T22: The scythe attacking him hits against his armor and then misses. Even though Lady Andaisin is definitely dead, the same thing happens with the scythe attacking Vivino ...it keeps attacking him, but it's altitude drops some as if operating from an unseen string between Lady Andaisin and Vivino! It cuts into his right shoulder for 4 force, and then down to his right knee for 6 force.

R9T21: Lilim flies down to the ground. "I-I don't know how to stop it or even what it is!"

R9T17: Lem's comedy stops. "Everyone listen up! The spell is spiritual weapon. The caster imparts their will to the spell, and doesn't need to actively control it. This isn't the first time I've heard of this happening, just like an assassin who gets killed still has the poison working through the victim's blood after they die. Everyone use weapons to aid Harsk and Vivino. Vivino, stop raging and go small and ride this out! It should end in a minute. It's short duration."

R9T12: Seelah and Sterling reposition to help, and Sterling tries to help block this thing from landing a blow on Vivino.

R9T10: Dane is more focused on the critical act of healing, casting a spell on Vivino for 17. Still, he seems affected by something, looking at the area where the white waters splashed on him and strange marks are forming ... strange marks that show the early signs of having contracted blood veil!

R9T6: Vivino, what do you do?
