Effric dispels his command over the weeds and they die down. A fourth warrior gets up, sluggishly, his hands also in the air in surrender. He is striped with bruises and welts from the strangling grass.
Morgan makes demands and the one of the cultists replies after being nudged by two of his colleagues,
I think it's just us. We were the only ones in our guard area. We saw some bugbears and dog-guys, but no other guards. Wait, the commander had a few others who worked for him, but I don't know where they are. I wonder why he grabbed us instead of them...A nudge gets him to continue,
Anyway, Romag grabbed us with the commander and said, We're out of here and made us guard him. He wanted to go to Nulb but wanted to let the um, allies I guess, here at the tower know what's happening. That isn't you, I guess. Anyway, please have mercy on us. With Romag dead, we'll ...uh. His colleague whispers into his ear. He looks back.
Really? This leads to a little pow-wow between the four of them and they all nod and agree.
We'll go to Hommlet and help the church there. St Cludge or something. Would that be okay?Thurwin checks over the forms of
Toto and
Darryl. They are both lifeless and quite beyond the help of Calmert, Morgan or other healers.
Tavin find sight returning as the darkness dies down like a light losing power, and discovers that his cloak was the target. Then, like a shadow erased by the sun, the darkness is gone. (OOC: I was expecting Tavin to shed items until he discovered what the darkness was cast on, not sit in the darkness and mope like... well, like me in high school
)
