His strength draining away, Bastion switches to the longer blade on his back, hoping to finish this before he is rendered ineffective.
If someone without a magic weapon willing to fight is nearby, he'll try to drop the rod into their possession, calling out for them to leave the buttons be and just hit with the thing.
Out of Character: in its default state, the rod is just a +2 mace. Attack and damage modifiers are considerably reduced thanks to this strength damage, but I'm still pretty potent. Mountain Hammer Strike on rounds 1+3, deals extra 2d6 damage, also ignores hardness/DR.
Arilynia will once again use point blank shot as will as the added +1 spell the clerk added and aim at the shadowy figures. She will provide as much help as she can to fight them.
Out of Character : Doing attack and damage with bow rolls x4.
Rivoril, and the youth are heading towards Avan, when the Cleric orders the youth to keep away.
Rivoril, sees Avan under attack by some kind of shadowy undead creatures.
He takes, out his bow ready to attack, but knowing it's a futile attempt, being not magical. "I have to try," he muses.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he sees the Cleric, cast magic towards him, and immediately his bow starts to glow with magic.
"Thank, you very much," he says.
Then immediately attacks the undead, attacking Avan.
Avan starts by casting Cure Light Wounds and provokes an attack of opportunity. He attempts to hit the shadow with the positive energy. If he misses, he holds the charge in his hand in case any get close enough again or provoke an attack.
Avan kicks the jackal in the sides. "Avoid them, boy!" he shouts as he points to the south. The jackal takes off, trying to move slightly faster than any shadows giving chase.
In subsequent rounds, Avan keeps calling down lightning as the jackal stays out of range. In round 7 or 8 Avan orders him to wheel around towards the teens so he can drop off his haversack with the three flasks of holy water. "If they get within 10 feet, splash them and call out to us." The jackal then continues past, continuing to kite the enemies.
Out of Character It was brought to my attention that I should be doing rapid shot along with my point blank shot. So I am doing 4 more attack and damage rolls to reflect that.
In Character Arilynia feels the magic as she once again notches an arrow on her bow and takes aim at the shadowy figures trying to attack Avan.
Arms weakening, and starting to feel a good deal of concern, Bastion keeps swinging, knowing the others are in trouble if he backs off.
Out of Character: Same routine as last time. Hopefully this goes well, already down to just 10 Strength.
Arilynia continues with her assult of arrows at the remaining two shadow figures. Adding her companions as much as she can as well as show the village people that she as well those with her are wanting them to be free of these evil doers.
Rivoril continues his attack on the remaining Shadow creatures. Moving stealthily, and silently. Using, buildings for cover, not remaining in the open.
Utilizing the Clerics magical aid for the attack.
