Second Darkness: Children of the Void [IC]

[rypt]

Embarrassment flushes Tsyra's face as expectations of her own abilities collide with reality. Not wanting to dwell on this overestimation, she moves quickly to engage the only foe she can see, stepping around Santiago and swinging her kinetic weapon at the zombie in a crushing downward blow.

R3T22: Embarrassment flushes Tsyra's face as expectations of her own abilities collide with reality. Not wanting to dwell on this overestimation, she moves quickly to engage the only foe she can see. Noticing that the only part of the wall she can squeeze through is by the open spot (vanished Lev), she moves past him and through the wall and then south, opening up a futile attack from the zombie. Tsyra swings her kinetic weapon at the zombie in a crushing downward blow to destroy the monster. Despite the strange nature of this particular zombie, it does as all destroyed undead do ... spontaneous combat from inside and turn to ash .... leaving a scorch mark on the ruined floor.

Combat Ends!

As the last zombie vanishes, Santiago looks around with a proud smile on his face. ”Good work everyone. You all fought well. Before we continue, I seem to have lost a lot of blood. He gestures to the wound from the tongue. “Does anyone know a way to recover my strength?”

[rypt]

Tsyra reaches most of her forearm into a small pouch on her belt and removes a rolled sheet of parchment. "Yes," she says in answer to Santiago's question. "This is a scroll of a restorative spell, but I cannot make use of it without the aid of my Goddess. I would require a period of uninterrupted prayer unless one of you capable is activating its magic in my stead."

She will wait to see if anyone comes forward, in which case she will hand them the scroll.

Tsyra draws a scroll of lesser restoration from her Craftsman's Belt.

[lostsole31]

Sol says, "Ago, do you yet have holy magics as some paladins? Because healing like that is usually granted holy warriors to heal the sick. If not, Lev, your resume mentioned broad skill at commandeering magical items?"

[AggressiveBread]

Ago nods ”I could, but I don’t have that spell prepared. If you all want to take some time to search the building, I could pray for it.”

If the party wants to wait, Santiago will swap veil of positive energy for lesser restoration and cast it on himself.

[Kvard51]

Lev stops his oration and allows his spell to lapse so the others can see him He looks at the scroll Tsyra is holding, stating. "Yes, I do have some skill in that area. I should be able to cast that spell."

He looks to Santiago, "Do you want me to try, Ago?"

[lostsole31]

Sol says, "We can probably take that time, though it stinks inside of this building, we should go outside. It's only a little bit of time, and it would save Tsyra's scroll from consumption."

Does any other prepared caster want to pray/ mediate/ study to reassign remaining spell slots? What about readied maneuvers?

[rypt]

"This is agreeable. I shall pray as well in the event there is need of the scroll in the future." At that, she returns the scroll to the pouch on her belt and heads outside.

Tsyra will will ready make it work in place of scything strike, and guarantee make it work in place of sabotage.

Ozlech

Ozzy checks that their enemies are completely destroyed and that the larva followed their unfortunate hosts to the grave. ”Be wary friends for I have an inkling of what created these undead, known as Void Zombies, and that they were created extremely recently. Should we face these creature’s progenitor we must take care to avoid or quickly cure parasitic infection lest we have a larvae’s tail sticking out our jaw as we shamble about.”

Ozzy keeps an eye out for trouble as the rest of the party focuses on preparing to face further foes.

No Changes to Ozzy. He tends to mostly adapt in the middle of combat anyway.

[lostsole31]

Everyone who is making changes have made their changes. Now what?

[AggressiveBread]

Santiago will cast lesser restoration on himself

[lostsole31]

Unfortunately, his spell only recovers a little bit of the blood drain he had suffered (1 STR).

[AggressiveBread]

Santiago looks disappointed after casting his spell. ”I am still not at full strength, but I should be fine after some rest. Shall we move forward?”

[rypt]

Tsyra nods. "I am ready to continue the search. Before we move to another building, I would like to count the bodies we saw earlier. The Cyphermages were said to have departed with a company of approximately twelve individuals. We encountered four as these so-called 'void zombies.' I wish to know how likely we are to encounter either more zombies or possible survivors of the attack."

She will then move to examine the corpses laying near the outside of the building.

[lostsole31]

The corpses outside are not new, but ancient ... decades old, at least.

[AggressiveBread]

Santiago looks down at the old corpses. ”These must be some of witchlight’s first inhabitants, means there might be more cyphermage zombies around. It’s a shame they couldn’t be buried properly. Santiago will move check out the buildings to the northeast.

[lostsole31]

Once outside, Kwava says, "My Ganmeed is wounded, but it seems healing is light in this group. I will have him keep watch safely out of the way."

As Santiago passes that first building to the north, he sees the outside portion of where that building's southeast corner had subsided. Avoiding the tower to the southeast for now, he continues to the northeastern building's door. The rest of the team follows.

[AggressiveBread]

Nodding in agreement with Kwava, Santiago will move to open up the door.

[lostsole31]

Santiago opens the door. This building’s rotting timbers still bear flecks of colorful paint, a sign that it must have looked grand in its heyday. Now it is little more than a collapsing ruin.

[AggressiveBread]

”Well if nobody else wants to enter this dark crumbling ruin, I will.” he will step inside to the east and begin looking around.

[bcool999]

Ozlech

Moving to the doorway, Ozzy eyes the building warily saying, ”Emphasis on crumbling there Ago. There may be something in there if it hasn’t been picked over since it was abandoned, but it could also fall over if we breathe too heavy. Judging by the paint there was wealth here at one point at least.”

After seeing if anything breaks with Ago’s passage, Ozzy will enter and look around.

[lostsole31]

Yup, nothing of interest.

[bcool999]

Ozlech

Ozzy will take his leave of the oversized coffin that was once a serviceable building.

[lostsole31]

There's one more smaller building before the main tower. Do you check there next?

[AggressiveBread]

Exiting the crumbling building carefully after his tiefling comrade, Santiago will make his way over to the smaller building opening the door when he gets there.

[meemaas]

Visto's mind was clearly elsewhere, since it took him this long to realize it, but his fellow avian was injured and he wants to take care of it. So he takes some time to heal up Ganmeed's wounds while the group is exploring.

Spoiler

Show

Visto will invest 2E into Unicorn Feathering and use it on Ganmeed.

[lostsole31]

As Sol and Ago head east, Kwava calls down Ganmeed for healing. I don't think the new members of the party have seen this before, so Visto's feathered arms turn white, the feathers taking on a more downy, very fine appearance, and he touches Ganmeed with Kwava's supervision. A few seconds later, Ganmeed's wound fully close, and Kwava and Ganmeed head up behind Ago. Ago opens the door, but the placement of the door is such that he doesn't really have too good a look inside, though just with opening the door, the building groans woefully.

[AggressiveBread]

Watching the building creak, Ago looks up at the roof with a scowl. He lets out a sigh of resignation before taking a step inside to look around. He mutters under his breath, ”don’t collapse, don’t collapse, don’t collapse.

[lostsole31]

He goes in and sees another ruin of a building, much like the very first one.
