Emry Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Lisette sees the young girl walking towards Lurel and decides to take decisive action. She swings the spear behind the girl to sweep her legs, trying to get her to fall back away from her companions. Hopefully that will slow her progress.

ShinJiOh Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Midge drops the spoon, watching it vibrate further while on the ground. "What are you doing?" Cries Midge, "It might take your act to slow it as acts of hostility and then we're in trouble" *Midges runs in front of Emry in a desperate act to stop Emry from hitting her target.

Malchik Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 The 'girl' is unaffected by Lurel's earth magic. Lisette's spear is deflected by Midge's efforts. It trip's Midge who lands uncomfortably winding himself. The girl continues to walk towards Ford. Padden does not know what is going on but can tell it is not natural. He levels his knife towards the girl. "Sammi Moldo - yes." He yells at Lurel. "And this looks like Allia, his older sister. But I don't think it is."

Switch Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Ford feels a cold chill head up his spine as the girl nears him. "S-stay back!!" He steps back away from her. "W-why is she coming after me?!" He starts jumping back from her whenever she gets close, keeping his sword pointed at her. "I got a sword! I'll use it if I have to!!" He seems hesitant to strike something resembling a girl, especially since she's made no hostile movements yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 The girl speaks in a high whining voice... "I need... I need... I need food!" She launches herself at Ford diving with incredible speed below his sword. As she rushes at him, the head falls to the floor revealing a dark triangular head with scarlet eyes and a row of razor sharp teeth. The teeth tear the cloth from his breeches by the calf of Ford's left leg. It is clear Ford is to be the meal. Padden throws his knife. It embeds itself into the girl's back but has no other effect.

Emry Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Lisette swears to herself as Midge falls to a heap beside her and advances from behind on the"girl". She condentrates to shorten the spear into a javelin - something better to stab with. Being careful to avaoid Ford, she plunges the javelin into the upper back of the thing, attempting to pin it to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 "All of Sammi's family were killed!" Lurel yells. "That's why he left with Zekic. There could be more of these undead creatures here - get out!" He grabs one of the sacks which had concealed the graves, and swings it at the creature's head, hoping to confuse it long enough for them to put some distance between themselves and it. He leaps away from the creature again, just in case it decides to counterattack. Again Lurel uses his earth magic, this time his intention not to soften the ground, but to open it under the "girl" - just wide enough to swallow her, but not anyone else. They need time to get away from this thing. "Lisette!" he calls out, "maybe fire will work on it!" He looks at the creature again, and shudders. "It struck like a snake. And that head - it looks a bit like a snake too!" Hastily Lurel tries to recall anything he might have learnt about snakes - perhaps it will help them fight this creature.

Switch Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 "AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! HOLY..." Ford runs cold with fright, almost faster than his legs can take him back towards the ladder. "Wh... what the ruddy... hell is going on here?!!" He's turned a bit white from the shock, as he tries to regain his breath. He keeps his sword pointed at the thing.

ShinJiOh Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Midge, while lying on the floor in pain, rolls over and picks up the spoon which begins to ibrate again and he throws it straight at the girl in a LAME attempt to cause something to happen.

Malchik Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Where the weapons hit the 'girl' bits of flesh begin to fall away. Whatever is beneath is living creature inhabiting the body. It walks on two legs, speaks as you have heard but it is not human. It's skin is leathery and grey and impervious to the weapons, even to Lisette's magical spear. But the sudden glint of light on the bright spoon distracts it. It picks up the spoon and stares at it. It raises it's muzzle and emits a chilling howl. And then it is simply not there. The shell of the girls body falls to the floor. The spoon drops with a thud onto the ground and is at once old, rusty and fire-blackened. Those with magical skills feel the temperature slowly beginning to rise. Ford has a nasty bite on his leg. Midge is bruised and winded but otherwise not hurt. Padden is being sick.
