Erevel again felt the pain of a claw rake her skin. She breathed a sigh of relief as the second claw missed her as she was not sure she could survive another.
Armania, not wishing to lose a spell, cast an acid dart which found its mark on the Revenant. Ursina followed quickly with another disrupt undead.
Erevel again swung her mighty sword hitting squarely home, but not inflicting the damage she wished. After she took a five foot step away to hopefully avoid another claw attack.
Gavril sneaked back to the barricade aware that the canines had probably notice him.
"We should wait here and make them come to us one at a time," he declared.
"You mean we aren't going to go in a fight whatever is in there?" queried Erevel completely confused.
"If we make them fight us one at a time it will be easier," answered Gavril.
"I can get rid of this 'doomsayer'," injected Gavril. "That's my specialty!"
"Maybe he'll go with us on the boat to the cave," added Erevel, "He doesn't have to make it there. It's a large lake."
"Now we really only have to get him to stop spouting this nonsense," Ciprian said in despair. "No one said we had to kill him."
The party was in 'deep' discussion after their meeting with Cesadia. They were heading toward The Stain to get a bite to eat and a drink.
"Dreaming of? Like in nightmares?" asked Gavril.
"No, No I have seen you in my dreams that last few nights," answered Lelwyn. "I was immediately inspired to put brush to canvas. I couldn't quite get the details right for your faces."
"Have we met you before?" queried Ciprian.
The whole group except Ciprian set off up a main street through Thrushmoor. They were looking for clothing shops in which Ursina wanted to purchase a new explorer's outfit and vestments. The rest were on the look for magic shops, smithys, and food. A few bakeries caught Armania's eye and she purchased some bread. All were hoping to find food and a bed to sleep in.
As the group approached the inn they were directed to they began hearing a voice, "Doom is coming! The second vanishing is upon us!"
Standing before their worst nightmare, the party tried to stop the involuntary twitches that were occurring in their feet and hands. Feet wanting to run away, hands almost dropping the weapons they held.
Ursina, hurting badly from the battle with Zandalus, downed a potion and retreated to the hallway. Armani, out of spells, fired magic missiles from her wand and then watched as the wounds healed themselves. Erevel moved up to attack but missed. She took a serious wound from the War Razor that the Tatterman swung.
Ursina noticed some magic on the body of the Bag Lady. The Bracers on her arms were the indicated item. Ursina took them and immediately put them on her own arms. Paullus was searching through the pallets and found some coins and jewels, along with a pearl tooth. Erevel found twelve bite-sized pieces of jerky stored under another pallet. Ciprian noted a harrow deck on the table. He was leafing through it noting that the Foreign Trader card was unusual. It depicted a veiled figure in yellow bearing an armful of misshapen rubies.
Suddenly two arrows came flying out of the stairwell at Paullus and Armania's eagle. A quick look by Paullus saw four Apostles standing on the stairwell, two having fired their short-bows.
