Overview

As Ozemur shoots his crossbow and Falki moves up, Æsbiorn bellows a challenge and charges toward the wights surrounding Drængr and the stone table. Reginleif moves up and throws her spear at the closest target, hitting it squarely. OOC Ozemur and Falki have taken their turns. I moved the NPCs. Still need moves from the rest of the PCs @Morphling @Malkavian Grin Marching Order 1st rank: Yngvildr (40'), Ozemurt (20') 2nd rank: Æsbiorn (30') 3rd rank: Reginleif (30'), Valthjofr (30') 4th rank: Falki (20')

Ozemur had expected as much the moment they stepped into this cursed hall. Diplomacy was never meant for the dead. Without hesitation, he loosed the first shot aiming at the nearest wight. The bolt flies true and hits its mark. The undead warrior pays no mind to it. OOC . GM NOTES: GM edited results directly into this post. The bolt hit and did damage, but maybe not full damage...

well I guess that means the PCs are up first!

Bravo!

Initiative.

he's not going to discuss this. He is going to fight! first PC to make an Initiative roll here is the one... I will roll as well..... King Kolbakr Initiative tie goes to the PCs

Though he has no lips to speak of, King Kolbakr curls his face up into a wry grin. "Free them? They are about to be free and you can join them and free yourselves of the shackles of the living. Come, we can find you a place at the table, have no fear," he announces, his dry, crackling voice echoing throughout the underground halls and passages. As he says this, he leans forward and nods to the wights standing behind Drængr and his men. With a slight flick of his wrist, he points at the group of living beings challenging him, almost as if shooing away some flies. The wights turn and take a step in the direction of the entrance, drawing long, wicked looking swords all blackened by some ancient fire. OOC I had described 3 wights standing behind Draengr and his men but I put 4 on the map... disregard #4 in the last image. Sorry, I do not know how to count well it seems! The grey dots at the table are Drængr and his men. Marching Order 1st rank: Yngvildr (40'), Ozemurt (20') 2nd rank: Æsbiorn (30') 3rd rank: Reginleif (30'), Valthjofr (30') 4th rank: Falki (20')

The stench of rot and death was suffocating but the sight of Drængr and his men nailed to the slab like sacrificial offerings was a thousand times worse. For a brief moment, the skald stood frozen. The undead king, Kolbakr, with his antlered crown and dead, white eyes, was a thing out of dark sagas, the kind meant to frighten children into behaving. But this was no tale spun by firelight. It was real, and far more menacing than anything Ozemur could have conjured in his own stories. "Drængr... alive," he muttered, mostly to himself, though his words carried to the others. "By the gods, how are they still breathing?" Ozemur took a cautious step forward answering the mocking gesture of the king, though his legs felt like lead. "King Kolbakr," Ozemur began, taking another step closer, "We came for our kin. What bargain can be made to free them?" Even as he spoke, Ozemur’s mind calculated, looking for any weakness in the dead king’s stance, any hint that might reveal the key to surviving this hellish encounter. OOC .

Ok, here it goes. you have found that which you seek. best of luck getting it back!

Pushing on, the group enters another burial mound, this one larger than the previous ones, also more well lit and crowded. Crude candles made of dark wax burn at intervals around the chamber. In the center of the room is a large stone table of some strange, black stone. nauseating carcass, gray and stringy, its shape vaguely like a boar, but with fins for feet, rots in the middle of the table. Drængr and three of his crew are kneeling around the table, their hands on its surface, palm up and nailed to the top of the stone slab. They are all battered and bloody, but still alive, if only barely. At the far end of the table sits a wholly unholy sight: a tall, withered warrior-king, his flesh sagging from his frame and white eyes, cold and frozen. A splintered crown of antlers sits upon his brow and a bejeweled greatsword lays on the table in front of him. Three armored warriors, also dead, with terrifying skull masks barely cover their grisly faces, stand behind Drængr and his men. These undead horrors loom over the men, holding pale hands to their skulls. Their lips move, but only meaningless, wrenching sounds come out. The room smells of death and smoke and earth and rot. The walls, floor, and ceiling are covered in black soot and charred and broken bits of wood are scattered about the room. In the far corner, several chests sit among a pile of weapons and armor. In all, the whole scene is terrifying and unlike anything anyone has ever even dreamed of before! King Kolbakr smiles and beckons you forward. OOC This is it!

Æsbiorn looks at the Lady's spear, "No," he says shaking his head, eyes down, "I'll not wield that witch's weapon. Who knows what dark magic it holds. I'll trust to my chopper here, not that it's done much good for us thus far." He steps back, motioning for Valthjofr to step up and take the spear. OOC Æsbiorn is also still here for the fight, but I'd rather one of the PCs have the silver spear.

Yes it counts. Aesbiorn is NOT a PC either. I mistakenly thought Falki was proficient with the spear. Valthjofr can definitely use it.

Valthjofr is proficient in javelins, does that count?

Btw, if it would be better for the story that a PC wield the spear, Falki could keep it. He just loses a lot of bonuses since he is not proficient with the spear: whilst Aesbiorn is proficient.

You are trained with the spear. Take this. It has been a challenging search for you my friend: now perhaps is the time to strike true. OOC: Because Falki is not proficient with a spear and he'd be foregoing his specialization in long axe, he'd be shifting from +3 to +0 on ATK bonus if he takes the spear in lieu of his long axe. Aesbiorn, however, is proficient with the spear, so he'd be at +1. So mathematically, it is better for Falki to retain his long axe.

Reignleif pauses and looks down, she holds the spear out toward Falki, "I cannot... I... you take the spear," she says in a defeated tone. Clearly this endeavor has been too much for the Unscarred. Following the screams of agony, the group presses forward quickly, following the cavern, twisting and turning. Eventually it opens up into a larger natural cavern with several earthen columns holding up the root-riddled ceiling. Dark movements can be seen in the shadowy reaches of the area, but off to the right, a narrow, hand-dug passage leads up and into another barrow space, though flickering candle light can be seen coming from this area. Dark shadows pass back and forth across the opening to this new barrow followed by pleading, human screams. "Come take your place next to your mighty thegn," a voice calls out, laughing. OOC Reignleif is still there for the fight, though she's passed the spear to Falki. He can keep it or pass it off to someone else. If you want to change your marching order, let me know.

Come, Reginleif! Perhaps it is now time for the spear to shine forth! OOC: not sure whether Spacesong is still with this? Perhaps we can NPC Reginleif? Maybe it is nothing, but I'm still hopeful that the spear of Kolbakr might have a special role, so we need Reginleif along.
