The cleric snatched his holy book from his side and opened it, hands shaking with adrenaline. Licking his thumb, he scrambled to find a certain page. Placing his hand on the page, he bowed his head. "May the Light forgive any sins which Kemuel may have committed, and forgo retribution for past wrongs. May the Light cleanse his body, knit his flesh, fuse his bones, and cleanse his blood of poisons and disease. Sufficit unum lumen in tenebris." Light begins to pour from the book and trickle between his splayed fingers...

Kemuel recovered 16 HP.

Exile's sapphire eyes close as he felt the life pulse around him, and with a single target in mind, he began a new spell. Lightning sparked from his fingers as he raised his hands to the heavens "Strike from the Heavens. Arc Lightning." The Male's hand swept down, unleashing a bolt of lightning at Bandit 6

"Father, thank you for the healing, you may have extended my life with your words!", said Kemuel through gritted teeth.

He had marvelled at seeing the wounds that the arrows had left in him being sealed up before his eyes. Although new ones had since been inflicted on him, Kemuel's resolve stayed as firm as ever. He stayed in his position, again ready to absorb the damage for his allies.

"Rohan! Exile! You're power is too much for them! Just keep going!"

He smiles at Kemuel, as he began to unleash another of his lightning spells, his hands raised towards the heavens. "Strike from the Gods." The Male's eyes flashed as the lightning shot from his hands towards the bandits, spreading among them.

Kemuel is in perfect position to defend Exile and Rohan and has assumed a defensive stance, ready to knock down any arrows that fly his way.
The lightning rips through Bandit (5) - 6 damage, Bandit (7) - 6 damage, and Bandit (8) - 5 damage.

OOC: I'm going to award everyone in the party at least 1XP when defeating an enemy, because the person that lands the critical blow shouldn't be the only one to gain XP. Going back to edit characters for XP now.

Exile would turn to Father Arkades "Rohan needs your aid, good cleric. Lend him your strength and leave the bandits to us." He smiles warmly at the newest member of the Knights of the Ton.

Arkades bowed his head, arms at his sides. "May the Light which is in me pass into Rohan, and may I receive his wounds in exchange."

OOC: I'd like to try something. There are reports of priests that could take another's wounds into their own bodies, and I'd like to see if Arkades can do the same.

Requiring a roll of 10/20 for this effect - success! 20 HP switched.

Bandit (8) points his bow at Kemuel, slowly pulling back the string with all his strength. As the arrow was about to be loosed, a terrifyingly loud, guttural shriek echoed throughout the room and the archer lost concentration... his arrow dropped several feet in front of him.

Bandit (8), Bandit (5) and Bandit (7) fled the battlefield in fear of the shriek. They are defeated. Party gains 3 XP each.

You have determined that the noise originates from the front room in the dungeon (location marked on map) and is headed your way! (It is taking the same route you did.)
_____________________________________________________________________

A quick examination reveals that the Bandits have dropped the following that may be of use:

1. Level 1 Bandit Armor Set. Provides simple protection against wounds.
2. Level 1 Bandit Armor Set. Provides simple protection against wounds.
3. A basic Short Bow (with plenty of ammo).
4. A basic Short Bow (with plenty of ammo).

Any party member may salvage (1) of these items of their choice.
_____________________________________________________________________

Note: Map updated to reflect that you are near the loot dropped by the Bandits.

You now stand before a doorway facing east.

To your left and right, pieces of a wall narrow the passage (see map).

Straight ahead you hear the sound of mechanical gears turning and metal rubbing upon metal.

Feel free to take a turn as you please. (No need to restrict to only movement/or only action.)

[If you want to walk *through* someone's square, that's just fine...]

He lifts up a suit of armor, drawing it on as he places himself beside Kemuel, "Well it seems something worse be coming." He looks down to the corpse beside him and slowly calls forth an undead from it to serve him.
