Chapter 7 -- In Search of a Book Seller

[merias]

Tarmo grabs some oil from Milton's pack and throws it at the straw-thing! Assuming he can, he'll light it the next round.

[greyarea]

Milton stands there!

[Etarr_the_Good]

Balthar hears Tarmo's question about oil and lunges with the torch to try to alight the effigy.

[jcftao]

Balthar hits the straw creature with his torch and it catches on fire! [Takes 5 points of damage!]

The creature now alight stumbles forward to claw at Tarmo!

Tarmo is hit! The creature's claws find their mark. Tarmo takes 4 damage! [He only has 2 points left]

Actions?

[greyarea]

Milton is paralyzed with surprise! Or just paralyzed. Whatever.

[merias]

Tarmo drags Milton out of harm's way and lets the straw-thing burn!

[Etarr_the_Good]

Balthar positions himself to protect his comrades and hopes he can just watch the accursed thing burn.

[jcftao]

The effigy in straw stumbles forward, sink down to its knees and is consumed with fire. It falls, kicking once or twice and burns to ash.

Milton snaps out of his lethargy.

Balthar hears the scrape of a sandal on the stone floor. Three cultist hide behind stone columns. You get a glimpse of wickedly curved daggers.

Actions?

OOC---In lieu of the DM's lack of activity...all characters are healed to full hit points. I'm sorry for letting it go so long without posting. Let's get this restarted.

[merias]

"More damned cultists!" Tarmo says, drawing his bow. "Surrender or be killed like your friends before you!" He'll shoot at the first cultist to emerge from behind cover, knowing full well they won't negotiate.

ooc: Yay we're back!

[jcftao]

One of the cultists hisses, "Our lord Heimos will rend your souls..."

Each of the cultists stay hidden behind a stone column. Another door stands south of their position. It remains closed.

Actions?
