Initiative PCs=4, enemy=1
Milton stabs frantically at the looming form of the black robed priest!
His blade finds nothing but air as the evil priest steps aside!
Tarmo struggles to his feet, but missing his axe, instead grabs his dagger.
Miss! The priest seems safe for now! He strikes out at Milton with a black oak cudgel....1! Critical miss and the clubs sails into the air!
The evil effigy turns its gaze to Balthar...it's eyes blaze with an unholy fire!
Balthar goes limp and slack jawed. The creature swings with its vicious claws...a hit!
He staggers and stumbles to the floor! [Rolling on the Table of Death....broken bones....Balthar's ribs are cut and broken....]
Balthar has broken ribs [-1 to all actions until healed] and has been reduced to 1 hit point but is still mesmerized!
Initiative PCs=2, enemy=2 Tie!
Milton lunges with his rapier and Tarmo stabs with his dagger. At the same time, the priest tries to make an all out defense [add +2 to AC] and calls out to the effigy for aid!
Both Milton and Tarmo miss!
The creature turns to attack...Tarmo! Miss!
Initiative PCs=6, enemy=4
Milton and Tarmo try to finish off the cleric....Tarmo misses...but Milton scores a critical hit...20!
Milton does 7 more points of damage! The cleric falls to the floor gasping for his last breath.
The creature is still animated, instilled by the power of the evil god, Heimos. It uses its evil gaze once again and attacks...Tarmo!
Tarmo locks eyes with the creature but somehow manages to slip from its controlling power!
The effigy strikes at Tarmo but misses!
Initiative PCs=6, Effigy=6 Tie!
Milton and Tarmo try again to strike down the creature. The effigy does not use its gaze this round but swipes at Tarmo!
Tarmo....20! Milton....20! Both men hit the creature with critical blows....Tarmo does 6 points of damage and Milton 10 points!
The creature hits Milton at the same moment....17! a hit! Its claw racks Milton for 2 points of damage.
The creature falls to the ground and Milton and Tarmo feel a heaviness inside their heads...it increases quickly and then is gone!
The effigy blackens and smolders and turns to ash.
Thorhall and Balthar rub their eyes and shake their heads...they are coming out of the spell.
The party has barely survived the battle!
