Bloody, sweaty and shaken, Farli looks from the aged Troll, to Temorya and
finally to Shalandra. Tears stream down her face as she smiles at Shalandra
lying at their feet recovering from her wounds and laughs at her ability to
be witty when moments ago she was lifeless. She gives a nervous laugh and
says to Temorya "if you waited a moment longer we all would have suffered
Shalandra's fate". She drags the dead gnashers out of her way and sits
(almost drops) on the floor. Rummaging through her pack she pulls out a
booster potion, looking over the battered group, taking in the extent of
their wounds compared to hers particularly Rose and Angavorn, she says "you
are welcome to this, there are more wounded than I". Looking over to
Garrott she is pleased to see that the mighty rockman came out of the battle
reasonably unscathed. She remains quite while everyone recovers from their
battle, she gives a silent prayer of thanks to the passions that everyone
came out ok, for Temorya & the aged Troll and a heart-felt thanks that she
listened to reason and left Suskin behind.

Shalandra moans and opens her eyes. She looks up into the faces of her
friends and fellow party members. She hurts and aches so badly you can see
every breath causes great pain.
She looks up to Pean. "Did we kill them all? What happened?" She
attempts to get to her feet but does not have the strength and falls back to
the ground. "I think I will just stay here for a bit."

The creatures bound down the rocky slopes and hurl themselves into you.
you prepare yourself for the onslaught and watch as half of them are
repelled by the spells that Pean has cast, in some cases with the creatures
suffering incredible damage in the process.
Garrott is the quicker and spins just above the ground slamming his
hammer into the first that reaches him with a loud crack, knocking it onto
its back, struggling to get up. The creatures that punch through the
circles fall on you all. The battlefield is a confusion of teeth as the
scaled horrors bite and snap at you. Pean, the only one without an opponent
finally recognises them and calls out their name "Gnashers!".
the initial onslaught is severe and the attacks of the creatures knock
Farli, Lenora, Shalandra and Angavorn to the ground. Knowing the danger
they face if they stay on the ground the four stand as the others all suffer
major bites from the creatures, apart from Elklisee who is too quick for her
assailant, and Pean who is well protected by the barrier of his companions.
Elklisee attempts to use her shift in position to surprise the horror
but only manages to narrowly catch it, cutting into its thick scaled hide.
Rose is more successful as she spind her legs to gain momentum and slams her
crystal battle axe into the stomach of her assailant, knocking it backward
onto its back causing it to scramble its legs in the air trying to get back
up.
As Pean finishes putting a thread to his spell matrix, Maerath swings
his two handed sword for the first time since you have travelled with him.
He guides it with an effortless ease and brings the blade down on the skull
of his assailant, smashing its body into two neat pieces, it falling dead
from the blow.
The creatures seem to swarm around you and more flashes of light from
Pean's circles repel more of the creatures from the fray. The damage from
the spells knocking at least two unconscious, killing at least another and
knocking two sprawling to their back.You can see beyond the creatures that
are attacking you that the beasts even attack one another as they fall,
saving you from the full onslaught as more enter the area.
But the creatures at your feet and the others that advance in to attack
do so with less finesse but more fury as their taste for the blood of name
givers takes control. A spray of blood strikes you as Shalandra's throat is
torn open, her form dropping stone cold dead to the ground as the creature
continues to bound about. Rose and Lenora are felled, no longer moving by
the onslaught and Angavorn is again pushed to the ground.
Garrott roars with a call for veangance as you see his muscles bulge and
he brings his hammer down on one of the creatures, shattering its spine into
a thousand splinters, twitching in its death throes. As the blow falls, the
ground opens up beneath you all as if his mighty blow had sundered the
ground beneath you before you realise it is the doors falling away from you.
You all fall into the hole, at least an eight foot drop and luckily only
three of the Gnashers fall in with you.
As you fall, you see an aged troll standing beside a wheel looking
frightened and shocked at the speed the doors give way. Beside him flies
Temorya with an equally fearful look as the doors fold in. Temorya shouts
to you all;
"Help the troll close it again!!"
As Pean falls he hurls his spear at one of the Gnashers that accompany
you down into the hole. The energy from the spell rips the horrors body
into shreds as it strikes.
Elklisee and Angavorn collect themselves quickly and move to a large
wheel like mechanism, helping him to wind the doors back into place.
Maerath lands beside one of the remaining two Gnashers and with a blow
equally as skillful as his first that destroyed one of the creatures
dispatches it easily. Farli responding to the shock of seeing Shalandra
die, and feeling her life blood across her slams her hand into the body of
the remaining Gnasher as it forms into a claw. The blow perfectly aimed
enters the creatures eye and exits through the back of its head.
The door grinds shut and the old troll locks in place a catch to make it
hold. You hear the spells that Pean cast destroy more of the creatures
outside as they struggle to get to where you were though the protection
afforded by the door now will protect you well and truly before they could
make their way through.
Pean does not hesitate to rip open his satchel and spread the salve
contained in it across the opened throat of Shalandra. Garrott and Farli
confirm that Rose and Lenora still live, though barely. You stand in
silence as you watch the salve glow blue over the wound. Healing potions
are applied to Lenora and Rose as they wake up, everyone holds their breath.
The Last Chance Salve works better than expected and you see the
fortitude literally grow back into Shalandra. Not only does the throat
wound disappear as if it had never been, the damage caused by a bite to her
leg also heals over some. Though you know the internal injuries and broken
bones are still ther you all let loose a breath of relief as she takes her
first breath.
You then notice for a second time a troll. Grey and aged like you have
never seen a troll before, weeping with delight along with the rest of you,
as Temorya hovers nervously above the wheel looking from each face to the
other.
<OK, after a healing potion has been used on Rose and Lenora (all from
their own packs) and Elklisee throws Pean her Last Chance in her passing to
Pean for Shalandra, all are now conscious and more importantly, alive>
<Your final damages are as follows. For those who use woodskin I have
included what benefit the woodsking gives you at the moment (it is
abbreviated as WS)>
<Maerath dam 42, wounds 3, WS: 17>
<Angavorn dam 62, wounds 5, WS: 26>
<Elklisee dam 5>
<Garrott dam 25, wounds 1, WS: 7>
<Rose dam 24, wounds 4, WS: 13>
<Farli dam 31, wounds 2>
<Lenora dam 41, wounds 3>
<Shalandra dam 27, wounds 5>
<Pean dam 0>
<Temorya, there is again a second post for you. A brief one but it
explains what happened to the door>
<Cheers>
