The Deathblow! on 03/03/2013 01:28 AM CST Links-arrows 3869 Reply Reply You angrily shout, "Lay on! For Vordilian!" Velvette beams happily at Earthdiver! J>ms target Maags says, "Oh, yes Barnom." A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Wintersylph. You concentrate intently, focusing all your energies. You explode into a fury of strikes and ripostes, moving with a singular purpose and will! You swing a wide-bladed cresset sword at Barnom! AS: +623 vs DS: +477 with AvD: +45 + d100 roll: +52 = +243 ... and hit for 132 points of damage! A mighty blow cleaves a swath through Barnom's back, taking the spine with it.

• Barnom drops dead at your feet!

Your series of strikes and ripostes leaves you winded and out of position. Roundtime: 7 sec.

Ding Dong, the Lich King's Dead! on 03/03/2013 02:06 PM CST Links-arrows 3875 Reply Reply Last evening, a host of mighty adventurers descended on Lich's Landing in a final assault against the Lich King Barnom Slim! A group of heroes stayed in town to help defend against the undead rising up in the streets, while two groups delved into the underground undead city, one battling the lich, while the other sought out the phylactery to destroy, which would finally allow Barnom to be killed for good.

After hours of battle, solving puzzle glyphs on doors, and defending Wehnimer's Landing, the phylactery was finally located with the help of Jankus and the heroes destroyed it! Not long after, the Lich King himself was killed, dealt the final death blow by Bristenn! After his demise, Barnom's ghost warned them of the coming shadows and how they had lost any chance of survival, before his very corpse was torn into a hundred pieces by inky black tendrils before being consumed by darkness.

Following the victory, and the collapse of the cavern over Lich's Landing, Mayor Walkar congratulated all of the adventurers present and issued a public pardon to both Drangell and Jankus for their role in providing the means to end Barnom. However, half way into his speech, Walkar grew very weak, almost collapsed and the flesh and muscles along his right arm peeled away in agony, leaving only a skeletal arm behind. Guards arrived and escorted Walkar off for the night, to tend to whatever was effecting him.

While Lich's Landing has now been destroyed, and the Lich King himself dead, the Rooks' tunnels remain and there was no indication they were leaving anytime soon.

Thanks everyone for coming out last night! It was a lot of fun! And sorry about the crash, but hey, we still pulled it off! In the coming days I will be posting a breakdown of the levels of all critters, how many spawned, and a shout out to all the support and GM's involved. And also some details about the next storyline....
