Pogar rushes forward to join his kinsman while the standoff continues.

Re: Underground
[OOF. Maybe we should leave that to Whitney? Such a move is most likely to simply ruin Madragar's shot. Sangraal could heal Atan and save the Turn for the following round.]

Re: Underground
[As a fellow cleric I am sensitive to the "healing machine automaton." Clerics have lots of other uses, and I think Sangraal is a fighter first. That said, it does make sense to heal Atan now. Though perhaps a first level cure light in order to save the second level spells for when we need them later. That is unless, of course, Whitney posts before the GM moves on... Cure light Wounds on Atan. ]

Re: Underground
Releasing his shot, Atan kneels lowquickly , crouching his head for a few more inches of cover from the ballistae. "Humakt take them already", he hisses.
Looking sideways at Sangraal, Ulwe and Madragar. "We are pinned unless we have anymore tricks." We clearly meaning the spell casters.
No sooner are the words out of his mouth as "Pogar the impetous" is over the barricade in search of some fun.
"Stumpies," he says with a shake of his head.

Re: Underground
Sangraal says a quiet prayer over Atan's ragged wounds, staunching the flow of blood considerably.
Across the open chamber the legionnaires stand unmoving. Their equipment shines in the glowing lantern light of Madragar's spell, shields, mail, and blades all well tended despite the rotting state of their owners. The color of their bright red shields, however, has long since faded to a dull gray which, like their dessicated flesh, matches the cold stone of surrounding architecture. Beneath burnished steel helms lifeless eyes glow with a subtle purple light.
The legionaires stand poised for action, their crossbows at their shoulders and aimed, but waiting for the companions to make their move.
[Go.]

Re: Underground
Madragar completes his invocation of the Rune of Storms and fires a glittering cyan ball into the midst of the eerie legionnaires.
Scintillating Sphere, targeted at #8.
Edit: He uses the power of the Cairnhollow Tome to increase the DC of the spell by +2.

Re: Underground
A crackling, fist-sized ball of raw lightning streaks down the corridor from Madragar's outstretched hand. Spitting out sparks, the sorcerous missile reaches a point just above the head of one crossbow wielding legionnaire and explodes outward in a shimmering sphere of deadly electricity. Motes of blue lightning dance from one foe to another as their dry flesh is simply ripped apart by the force of the blast. Heads, limbs, and armored torsos fly through the air and smash against the walls and floor in a shower of crypt dust.
Pogar and Khelzhad, less than twenty feet from the limit of the explosion, duck behind their shields as bits of bone, wood, and broken mail fall like rain. A dessicated head of one legionnaire tumbles across the flagstones and comes to rest at the bard's feet to glare at him with a lifeless grimace.
The peal of thunder that follows the detonation roars down the corridor and echoes off into the far reaches of the subterranean complex. Only a single zombie survives the explosion and, heedless of the carnage, slowly begins to shamble forward.

Re: Underground
Looking at his cousin with the look of awe, Pogar is stunned by the imense destruction caused by one of Madragar's spells.
"Buy Yelm's hammer! Pogar says to Yelm, mostly, but to no one in particular. With the undead's head rocking back and forth, staring up at his cousin, Pogar grabs it and stands. While his long and dirty hair slowly relax, from the charge in the air, Pogar takes the ashen skull and throws it towards the undead, in a sign of defiance.

Re: Underground
"Thanks be to the gods," mutters Madragar. "Now let it be not wasted. Let us hurry." He moves back to stand beside Druuga, prepared to follow the others.

Re: Underground
Khelzhad is barely able to see and hear after the mage's powerful spell, but he knows the time has come to close with the enemy. The bard calls upon the fiery spirit and long memory of his forefathers to strengthen his courage:
"For the Lord of Light and Lord of Sea!
Companions all come fight with me!
Our quest ahead, our foe revealed.
My sword will lead, now follow my shield!
For the Light! For the day!
Companions unite! Attack away! Attack!"
[Move 4 E, using the feat Extra Music casts Song of the Ancestors: (GM - do you have this spell description somewhere? It is gone from my sheet and I cannot remember it!). Feat Lingering Song doubles the duration to when the bard stops singing + 10 rounds.]

Re: Underground
Before the undead dust has time to settle Atan is up and moving over the barricade, the Olamnii recurve pointed and drawn. Holding the corner, he releases the black fletched arrow at the sole remaining legionaire.
[Move 7E, shoot #3 .....+9 to hit (mc arrows), 2d6+2 + Madragars spell. Here is my dmg bonuses (+1 vs Undead 30 feet/+1d6 vs undead), critical x3.]

Re: Underground
Atan moves from around the barricade and neatly puts a single arrow in the chest of the advancing legionnaire. The flaming missile sets the old cloth gameson of the zombie alight and soon the thing is engulfed in flames - though it still manages to shamble forward a few steps before falling to the ground.

Re: Underground
[People at work are wondering why I am giggling Mr. Jubilex. A pretty piece of prose that.]
"Well that's a pick me up and no mistake" Draxim fairly bounces up over the barricade and down amongst the imperial debris to see what surviving treasures he can glean.
As he passes Atan he pulls up short and gives him a searching look. "Whaddya mean 'stumpies' hmm?" He glances down the hall then back toward the mists and his abandoned pack on the far side. He reloads his crossbow while waiting for an answer.

[OOC; Im in a training class all week and don't have internet access except onthe breaks. Then I gotta run into the hallway where they have some machines for people to check mail and such. So please move the game on and give orders for Sangraal. Sangraal has a greater turn once a day - -destroys undead]
