When last we left our brave, noble heroes, they had come face to face with that most terrible of foes, the greatest monster of all!

...a goblin mother defending her children.

Oh, and there are wights trying to eat them. They should know better.

GAME: Itzpapalotl rolls ranged: (7)+3: 10
GAME: Itzpapalotl rolls 1d6+intelligence: (5)+2: 7
GAME: Vaalyun rolls ranged: (1)+5: 6 (EPIC FAIL)
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+3: (11)+3: 14
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d6: (2): 2

Izpapalotl looks... Perturbed. It's something in those nictitating yellow eyes, or the way she soundlessly clacks her jaw. She watches a the ghouls are swarming in and casually strides forward. As she does so she pulls down a previously hidden, awkwardly shaped piece of white metal and pulls the trigger, firing off a blast. A lance of white-purple light slams into one of the creatures. She lets out a soft hiss and shakes her head slowly.

Kablam!

The dragonspitter pops off with a flash and flame, ripping into one of the wights thereafter.

"THE HELL," shrills goblin mom, keeping her children behind her.

GAME: Vaalyun casts Consecrate. Caster Level: 6 DC: 16

Vaalyun moves to interpose his armored self - and his big shield - in the way between the wights and the goblin family. As he moves, he pulls out a vial of holy water, "Althea, protect this home from those who would invade it!" He smashes the holy water on the ground and fills the area with a sense of sanctity.

GAME: Erakirak rolls 1d20+7: (20)+7: 27
GAME: Erakirak rolls 1d20+7: (10)+7: 17
GAME: Erakirak rolls 1d20+7: (15)+7: 22

Erakirak is not at all happy with this situation... too much wight power in one place. There's been a lot of that going around. But there's nothing to be done about it but to shoot them, so he does so, bringing down one of the wights.

GAME: Darius rolls weapon5+2: (18)+9+2: 29

GAME: Darius rolls damage5: aliased to 2D6+7: (4)+7: 11
GAME: Darius rolls 4D6+14+2: (13)+14+2: 29

Darius rushes into action, roaring as he slashes hard, hurting one wight and on the slash ends up killing the one beside it by beheading it.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4: (3): 3

Vaalyun attracts attention, as does Darius. Erakirak would, but there are more pressing matters to the wight-guards.

Their attention now swings to the adventurers here becasue, well...

Here they are! And so Darius eats two powerful punches, leaving him looking considerably drained.

Vaalyun's armor is smashed into as well.

GAME: Razen rolls weapon8: (16)+0: 16
GAME: Razen rolls 2d4+6: (3)+6: 9

Razen uncoils his spiked chain and sends it out into the ranks of weights. He hits one and jerks the chain back into his hand.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 2d6: (6): 6
GAME: Serraphine rolls 10+2: (4)+10+2: 16
GAME: Serraphine rolls 1d10+4: (5)+4: 9

Serraphine was in a bit of a daze, not really mind you, more that she was trying to figure out what happened. Her bag of endless cookies seems to be out of cookies. She rummages around in it, holding up her other hand with the index finger up. "Just a sec..." Rummage, rummage.

Nope

Rummage, rummage. Hmm... Oh wait. She pulls out... a crumpled up bit of parchment. She stares at it for a long moment, then throws it. The wight it hits, is the one she charges, drawing and thrust her sword straight through its middle before yanking it up and out. The wounded wight collapses in a heap.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+3: (4)+3: 7

A bullet goes whizzing by a wight, nearly striking Erakirak. In fact, it takes off a feather!

"SORRY," yells a panicked gobber mom as she shields her children.

GAME: Erakirak rolls 1d8: (3): 3
GAME: Erakirak rolls 12+1d8: 12+(5): 17
GAME: Erakirak rolls 1d8: (2): 2

Erakirak is a focused feathered archery machine, firing electrically charged arrows into the wights. One strikes a wight preparing to attack him, another a second wight preparing to attack one of his teammates, dropping them both.

Darius, feeling like death warmed over, calls out, "Retreating... need to heal..." as he slowly backs away from the shambling hordes to be able to get to safety.

GAME: Edinaz rolls 1d20+4: (20)+4: 24
GAME: Edinaz rolls 1d20+4: (17)+4: 21
GAME: Edinaz rolls 2d6+8: (8)+8: 16

Edinaz is done with running. Still, he's in no hurry to cuddle up to soul-sucking undead monsters. Instead, he hurls a javelin, impaling one of the wights and dropping it like its strings were cut.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+3: (16)+3: 19

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4: (3): 3

The wights pile onto Serraphine and Razen, as they're /right there/.

Two of them get a solid hit in on each target, but the rest just... go nowhere. Unable to pierce their defenses.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d6: (6): 6
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d6: (4): 4

GAME: Serraphine spends ONE use of LAY ON HANDS.
GAME: Serraphine rolls 3d6: (14): 14

The wight that hits Razen gets a mighty roar in response, the half-orc finally giving into his rage and bashing the thing over the head with his heavy mace as his spiked chain clinks to the ground.

GAME: Serraphine rolls 6: (20)+6: 26
GAME: Serraphine rolls 6: (12)+6: 18
GAME: Serraphine rolls 2d6+6: (6)+6: 12

Serraphine watches the Human beat a hasty retreat back behind her. She blinks and half turns to follow his progress.

The large chucklepup on the other hand leaps out and grabs one of the wights by the squeaky toy.

I mean throat.

And then it make it go squeak-squeaky-squee-squee-squeaky. Or... something like that. At the end of it the wight becomes re-re-dead.

Serraphine is still turning to watch the progress fo the human. She blinks, tilts her head and flings her hand up into the air. "SWEET GOOGLY-MOOK!" And boops Darius in the nose before turning back around. The rush of healing flooding through him from the Lay on Boop.

GAME: Vaalyun spends ONE use of CHANNEL ENERGY.

GAME: Itzpapalotl rolls weapon0-5: (12)+4+-5: 11

Vaalyun raises his shield, calling on the power of Althea to send positive energy into the room. "Foul creatures, be GONE!" he shouts, as he slams his mace into his shield, and a spray of starlight emanates in every direction, burning the wights and turning three of them into spreading pools of corruption on the ground.

Edinaz retrieves his javelin, wiping it on a scrap of cloak that he tears off and throws away after.

The lizard leaps into the midst of the wights with a snarl that verges on a roar. Spiked pauldrons smash into the first of the creature. Pistons scream as they fire alongside the smash of a Sith claw through the nearest wights dessicated skull. The sith continues, tearing into the thing and ripping free hunks of it, as if to be sure it's truly dead.

"Thank the Gods," says the gobbermom with a sigh of relief.

"What in the hells is going on here?"

And that's when you hear it -- it sounds like a *huge* roar from the center of the district.

Like something... large.

Really large.

Darius pants and feeling better then looks at towards the center of town and sighs, "Oh great, what next?"

"Well, there seems to be an undead infestation, ma'am. We --" Rak cuts off at the huge roaring sound. "Oh."

Edinaz looks up, towards the center of the district. He doesn't say anything, but his shoulders slump as he straightens.

Serraphine reaches into the bag of endless cookies, and comes out with a dog biscuit looking treat. She looks off in the direction of the center of town, nodding her head solemnly. "It's the direction of Sandy." Crunch. Munch-munch-munch-munch.

Razen grins at the others and picks up his chain. "Looks like we get to fight some more!" He seems quite thrilled at the idea.
