OOC: Just look. Didn't see this for some reason.

OOC: LOL. Well it was either you or Kemuel that would trigger the battle and since he resisted fear, it's for the better that it worked out this way. :)
Move 3 or act
Move 4 or act.

The cleric cursed, dropping his cane as he threw up one hand and gripped his holy book with the other. "Damnation! I knew it couldn't be this easy!" Light flared out at the Ringmaster's skeleton as Arkades pointed.

Aye.

"Exile..?! But, how did you know to..?! I'm glad we're on the same side!"

Kemuel stood, eyes locked on the Ringmaster, focused on this powerful enemy.

In it's weakened state, you easily turned the skeleton. It has fled.

OOC: You gain 2 XP, everyone else gains 1.

Remaining turns:
Rohan - 3 or act

"I have a surprise waiting outside for you bastards," he says, grinning, "You know those Priests your little 'guild' left along the perimeter? They're food for the leeches now! When I kill you all, you will find no 'help' from them! Haha!!"

Kemuel geared himself for another attack. He charged at the Ringmaster, shifting his weight from side to side to unbalance his foe. When he was almost upon him, Kemuel lashed out with his Longsword, both hands driving the keen edge at the Ringmaster's chest.

Arkades clasped his holy book to his chest, feeling his healing power ebbing from his body. Feeling the twinges from his damaged leg as he allowed the last of it to flow from him, he bent his entire will on Rohan. "May the Light that inhabits me heal this young one of his injuries and allow him to continue fighting his good fight!"

"Ringmaster, we've done this dance once, it won't go the same as it did before. I am Exile Mystran of the Wanderers and you have doomed yourself." He called up the Wind Spell known as Hurricane again as Kemuel charged, "Unleash the winds."

Exile's Skeleton moved South two paces

Your longsword drives through his chest, and he is simultaneously extracted from the sword by the force of Exile's Hurricane spell.

The wind slams his body into the southern wall. Writhing in pain, he screams, "You think this is over, fools? It has just begun!"

His body convulses in an unnatural manner. Sparks of electric energy emanate from his arms and legs.

He collapses onto the floor, face up. OOC: Exile and Kemuel have gained 2 XP each and everyone else another 1 XP each.

You stare in amazement as the warts and wrinkles begin to vanish from his face, and his complexion returns to that of a middle aged man.

His head darts back and forth across the room, his brow furled in confusion. "Wh...where am I? What is this?", he asks.

OOC: Congratulations. You have ALL completed the quest successfully!

XP will be calculated now. You can spend your points to level up at the beginning of any future quests.


As far as those promised rewards go, feel free to follow up with the Ringmaster and see if he'll give you anything. While the quest is indeed over, I know you may have a question or two to ask of him besides that, so you can do so right here. (If you want.)

Great job everyone!
Though the healing may have helped Rohan, it turns out he'll get a chance to sleep off his wounds as you have no more enemies to confront. Congratulations!
OOC: Oops... I forgot to mention: as an additional reward for this quest, Captain (the Nog Archer) may be available to assist you in the future.
