To recap, it all began not long ago with this...
waysoftheearth wrote:The Third Vault

Pelenwin (presently on but 1 hit point) and Wibert both fall to their knees before separate coffers of coin and start emptying the content into their treasure gatherer's sacks excitedly.

Wibert is still imagining all the exquisite sweets and pastries he will be able to afford when there comes a sudden, loud grinding of stone. Both of them look up just in time to see a great stone door drop into place, sealing them in with a resounding thud. They are trapped!

"Whooooo ailsssss mhhyyyy peeeacessss?" comes a terrible whisper like cold ashes crumbling into a forlorn autumn breeze.

The pair of them are afraid.

Pelenwin and Wibert both drop their treasure sacks and jump up with fright!

Pelenwin laments his foolishness and Wibert scrambles for his dagger and torch, casting its light this way and that in search of some enemy, and immediately reveals a terribly lean, tall figure looming toward them from the inky shadows of the vault. Its flesh is awfully white, and its black robes are tattered and wasted, and it seems to glide steadily rather than walk. It seems unarmed, other than a long, curved knife at its belt, but its brings a wave of fierce chill with it, and its fingers are dire black talons. It is not 40ft away and coming with intent!

"Youuuu willll sleeeeeeep noooowwww forrrrevvveeeerrrrrrrrrrr," it rasps.

Melee will commence next round. What to do?

Wilbert the shadow keeps to the shadows with magical dagger and short sword in hand. His skill that got him his name will be surely tested this day. [img]images/smiley/angry.png[/img]

OOC: Previous post was to put the torch down fast and try to stand it up and dart and hide in the shadows.

Wibert will sneak quickly in the shadows to get a back stab with his magically dagger behind this fiend. It may be our best hope to fall this enemy.
{{Back up plan: If he is spotted he will drop the short sword and grap a hand full of dust from the floor and through it into the fiends face (if no dust on the floor Wibert will use a throwing dagger or two from his dagger belt - keeping the magically dagger in his other hand), hoping he will get behind the fiend to back stab before he can react}}.

Wibert is not much for praying but if he makes it out of here his going to give it a try... here goes everything!

Seeing as the pair of you were surprised, there was little enough time for Wibert to simply drop the torch, whip out sword and dagger, and attempt to hide in shadows last round.

(1d6=3) Wibert isn't sure whether the monster has seen him or not as he back-peddles away from his guttering torch and into the shadows behind Pelenwin who does not retreat an inch, but instead bows his head and begins to pray as the fiend shrieks and descends upon him in an icy rush...

(Initiative shall be rolled; and Pelenwin's fate does hang by a thread! 1d6; Pelenwin=1, Foe=2! Doh!)

Alas the ghastly aberration is upon the fearless templar before he completes the opening phrase of his soliloquy (1d20 (weighty roll this one)=19 Noooooo!) and its fearsome black talons puncture his neck and throat, choking off any prayer that he might have uttered before ever it passes his lips. Pelenwin the Bold writhes and shudders awfully in its grip of ice as his eyes wither to blackness and his broken flesh goes grey as it is drained utterly of all warmth.

"Noooowww yooouuu diieeeeee!" hisses the terrifying monster, and woe! Pelenwin knows no more...

The terror shakes the broken knight's body by its neck a moment longer, then abruptly discards it, dashing it to the ground with aclattered of mail and gear, then turns about this way and that, apparently regarding the sarcophagi in the room.


(Wibert can back stab if he wishes... )
