Death Knights Party Fights

Turn 154 December 11th 2000
We met Forsaken(1734), and fought them. As they got closer, we noted their members: 3 dwarf fighters, human priest, elf fighter, elf mage, elf priest, 5 halfblood fighters, 2 halfblood mages and halfblood priest. They are all dressed in black, they stand easy, knowing they have nothing to fear. Their shield design is the Aes Sedai symbol, drenched in blood. They carry the alliance standard of Phoenix (149). They let out their battle cry, "Rejoice, your deaths make us stronger!". We shouted at them, "Fear not, for we but seek to deliver your souls to our great Lord, Zanath!". Quickly Drakus Blackart the priest identified Aginor. He set off towards the enemy. Ishmael cast miracle Charm at Duerbar Golbreath. Duerbar Golbreath became charmed. Arangar cast miracle Charm at Borri Goldtooth. Borri Goldtooth became charmed. Lorne Darktryst cast spell Choking Gas. Asmodean began retching. Sammael began retching. Graendal began retching. Belal began retching. Ishmael began retching. Arangar began retching. The charge of magic was felt by everyone. Warl Griskit cast miracle Berserk. Thorach Dragonbane struck Sammael. He shouted, "Oy, watch the bloody fingers". The insanity of the battle took hold. Snake Firrgrin cast miracle Call Monster. The spiritual form of a Fairy appeared and attacked Arangar. Lanfear cast spell Confusion II. Grondry Skullcleaver became confused. Borri Goldtooth became confused. Droam Bullneck became confused. Lorne Darktryst became confused. Shadow became confused. Semirhage cast spell Confusion II. Gaurod Trueblade became confused. Drakus Blackart became confused. Lorne Darktryst became confused. Thalus Closter cast miracle Fleyshur's Gift. The party was cursed. Balthamel stabbed, hitting Thorach Dragonbane. He staggered backwards. Bor Deathaxe swung, striking Mesaana in the arm. Demandred cast spell Confusion II. Thalus Closter became confused. Drakus Blackart became confused. Aginor thrust, striking Drakus Blackart, causing a momentary lapse of concentration. The ground was churned by the combatants. Moghidien struck, not making contact with Droam Bullneck. Stabbing his halberd, Duerbar Golbreath thrust, striking Mesaana in the stomach. Drakknar The Red's spear skewered Asmodean. He was stunned by the impact. Mesaana struck Grondry Skullcleaver, slicing through flesh. Rahvin smashed through an ineffective defence, striking Gaurod Trueblade. He laughed, "You hit like a kobold". Moghidien's great axe was first hacked overhead then swung upwards, cutting Droam Bullneck. He staggered backwards. Snake Firrgrin cast miracle Strength. Aginor's halberd was forced through ineffective defence, striking Drakus Blackart in the face. Bor Deathaxe chopped wildly, slicing Mesaana. She fought through the pain. Drakus Blackart retreated. Ishmael cast miracle Flame. Balthamel feinted a few times then struck Thorach Dragonbane. He was nearly killed in the onslaught. Fruck Duskrider feinted a few times then struck Sammael to the sound of crunching bone. Warl Griskit cast miracle Call Monster. The spiritual form of a Jinx appeared and attacked Sammael. Osangar cast miracle Slumber. Semirhage cast spell Magic Blast at Thalus Closter. Thalus Closter became engulfed in the magical blast. The only effects though were small blisters across his face and neck. Lanfear cast spell Sleep II. Borri Goldtooth fell asleep. Shadow fell asleep. Raising overhead her great axe, Mesaana hammered downwards, chopping Grondry Skullcleaver in the leg. Firmly gripping in both hands his quarter staff, Asmodean clubbed Duerbar Golbreath. He took the blow but grunted with pain. Raising overhead his great axe, Bor Deathaxe smashed through an ineffective defence, striking Mesaana to the sound of crunching bone. Time stood still as they fought on. Demandred loosed the arrow, it hurtled through the air striking Fruck Duskrider. He bled from the small arrow wound. Belal forced through an ineffective defence, striking Drakknar The Red in the shoulder. Lorne Darktryst cast spell Confusion II. Ishmael became confused. Drakus Blackart has escaped. It was difficult to see what was happening, but already some were fleeing. Balthamel slaughtered Thorach Dragonbane by thrusting the point into his groin. Guts spilled across the ground. The stink of offal was unbearable. Blood seeped into the ground. Moghidien swung, striking Droam Bullneck. He was nearly killed in the onslaught. Droam Bullneck retreated. Drakknar The Red forced through an ineffective defence, striking Asmodean. He watched as blood trickled from the puncture. Gaurod Trueblade retreated. Waving his gold inlaid halberd, Balthamel forced through an ineffective defence, striking Borri Goldtooth. He was lightly hurt. Borri Goldtooth woke up. Warl Griskit cast miracle Healing at all the party. Arangar cast miracle Slumber. Lorne Darktryst fell asleep. Shadow fell asleep. Drakknar The Red's spear skewered Asmodean. He suffered a major wound. Ground was won and lost as blows landed or were parried. Belal stabbed Drakknar The Red, shattering ribs. Moghidien swung, striking Warl Griskit close to the face. Wielding his great axe, Rahvin attacked, hitting Bor Deathaxe, leaving a nasty mess of bloody flesh. Waving his spear, Drakknar The Red stabbed, hitting Asmodean, turning flesh into bloody rags. Aginor's halberd stabbed Snake Firrgrin. He grimaced with the pain. Ishmael cast miracle Healing at all the party. Rahvin struck Bor Deathaxe, slicing through flesh. Fruck Duskrider hacked Sammael, slicing through flesh. Looking for trouble, Warl Griskit the human scoured the terrain. He set off towards the foe with malice aforethought. Drakknar The Red grinned maniacally, striking Asmodean, in a spray of blood. Sammael's helm was gouged by Fruck Duskrider's strike. Muttering, "Bugger me, that was close," Borri Goldtooth dodged Balthamel's thrust. Shoving her halberd, Graendal struck Fruck Duskrider, the head embedding in guts. Violently thrusting his halberd, Aginor stabbed Snake Firrgrin, severing major veins. Led by Lorne Darktryst the party retreated. Arangar cast miracle Healing at all the party. Semirhage cast spell Healing IV at all the party. Ishmael cast miracle Healing at all the party. Our survivors escaped. As they left we assessed the damage inflicted on them: Three were badly wounded. We returned to the area after the battle to recover the body. We found it had been stripped of all money and items. We earned 451 experience points.
