Hunger Abated (EN, The Sewers, Event)

[Jewel]

"Get over here, the foe is almost slain. Don't hold back! A coward dies even if they walk away from the field of battle!"

Although she listens to the chiding ghost and charges the jackghul Claudia's swing does not connect.

Ghost Full Attack Jackal, -shield | 8k4-5 ⇒ 56

There is a spectral sigh, "You tried... I guess." ''

Thinking he'll have to do the job himself the ghost of her grandfather brings his gladius down hard upon the beast expecting to cut it in half. He is mostly successful yet somehow the monster still stands.

(Ghost Full Attack Jackal, -shield | 8k4-5 ⇒ 56
Ghost damage | 4k2 ⇒ 24 Reduced to 19)

Unaware of the near destruction of all his servants the necromancer resurfaces and sends a blast of ichor at the only target within his range - Bazir.

(Cast Injure, 1 raise for range, 1 raise for damage, wounds | 6k4 ⇒ 35 (TN: 23)
Injure damage +1k0 from raise | 3k2 ⇒ 22)

As the blast strikes true and he realizes the state of the battle he dives back into the sewage and starts to move back.

(Free move surface, simple cast, simple move dive - submerged but not hidden)

[Raya]

With the necromancer popping up, Raya moved in that direction again. Not taking any chances with a spellcaster, staying hidden to the side

(moving towards necromancer in stealth

Defense stance)

[Asher]

Asher remains in defense stance, still guarding the man next to him, he hisses across the room "Jadzia...don't eat that, come here"
But the monkey completely ignores him and does what she wants.

Asher: Animal Handling while afraid | 1k1 ⇒ 4 (TN: 20)

[Jewel]

The great ape charges, though not recklessly, towards the revealed threat.

[Nihira]

Dang, this thing could take a beating. It did look like its strength would fail soon though, or at least she hoped it would. To help it along that path Nihira loaded up her sling and got it moving again. She hoped to put it down once and for all.

D4 EN Hunger Abated Attack the Jackghul Athletics/Agility 7k3 rolled 30

D4 EN Hunger Abated Damage the Jackghul 2k2 rolled 11 damage

Without staying to watch if her attack brought down the monster, she took a few steps to line up her next shot on the last spot she saw that pesky necromancer.

(free move straight up 15')

[Jewel]

Already on its last legs it seems the bullet is enough to destroy whatever brain matter it had remaining as it ruptures the beast's skull like a ripe melon.

(Jackghul is destroyed)

[Faruq Al-Farhan]

Like quite a few others before him, Faruq tries to jump to the central platform and ends up in the muck. He doesn't seem to mind that much, though - there are more important things to deal with right now than caring about the smell and discomfort.

---
Free Action to move 5 ft to the edge of the platform, Simple Action jump - failed; Simple Action move to reach the far edge. Still inside the muck

D3 EN - Round 5 - Athletics/Strength to cross to the Central Platform | 3k2 ⇒ 12 (TN: 15)

[Qara al-Hazaad]

Qara saw some obscured, watery personage.

She called rocks on it.

Meanwhile, the Jinn rolled their eyes, and guarded his mitress.

OOC:
D4 EN COMBAT, Rocks fall, Necromancer dies?! | 3k3 ⇒ 23

Jinn Guarding agian

[Jewel]

Though the blow is somewhat lessened by the water that saps the momentum of the rocks a slight pinkish tinge to the sewage suggests it was not entirely ineffective.

(Reduction 2, Voiding 10 - Al-Haddar is up)
