She hadn’t expected to live through this encounter. Perhaps, perhaps she could have taken on one of these gigglers, but as her arm began to still despite her efforts, and more of the shambling corpses surrounded her, Kith knew it would be the end.

At least, she thought as she fell and these monsters moved in around her, at least they will have time to find safety.

As one of the giggling monstrosities mounted her, her mind begins to flee. The feel of that cold, rotting flesh on hers threatens to drive her to insanity. Though, that would have been better than anything she could experience in this hell. She attempted to focus the withering threads of her sanity before they slipped away from her completely. These demons may take her body, but her last thoughts would be of her brave compatriots. Of her fuzzy best friend.

Before the beast could take her, as if on cue a different beast’s roar filled the air and the weight on her disappeared. Elation, frustration, and fear all filled her as she heard the now familiar sound of a Kazari ripping a shambler to shreds. The clanging of armor and weapons on slawing flesh now replaced the eerie moans, and Cedric was beside her in a moment.

The priest was shouting something at the others while a warmth began to fill her wounds.

Despite that brief respite of hope, the groans of the undead begin to revitalize, growing louder once more, and her fear and frustration begin to overwhelm her senses.

They should have run, they should have left me here!

She wants to scream again. She wants to pull the shambler’s attention away from those fighting to save her life. She wants to sink her dagger into each and every one of their rotting skulls. But she can’t even grit her teeth at the frustration of being able to do absolutely nothing.

Kith is suddenly lifted effortlessly up by a retreating Kazari, leading her to believe now that things must be far worse than she had even imagined. She was also certain that this was not the way to join in the Eternal Hunt. She could almost feel the rage radiating off of her friend and knew he must be feeling this same thing.

If Ch’dau meant to take her to safety without straying too far from the rest, then the rest were not making much headway. Her dread and anger grew as she listened. Some shamblers fled from the light of the warrior priests, some of their companions groaned at the hits they were taking.

Kithran’s body suddenly twitched as it slowly began to come back to life. Pin-pricks scoured her body and she attempted to shout at Ch’dau to drop her and to go assist their compatriots, but all that came out was a low groan. She could not even scowl at him as an indication to toss her and go tear those things apart.

As it was, Kith could only wait for a release from this paralytic prison, listening to the shouts of pain and orders from her friends, her own rage building likewise inside her.

I'm right there with you! A busy week and prepping to run an IRL 5E game this weekend has really drained my creative well.
Kith beginning to dethaw though has been a little encouraging ^__^

That's right, thank you both for the reminder! Working on a little paralyzed Kith post right meow.

Would Kith have been cognizant of everything going on around her in her paralyzed state or is her brain mush until she's defrosted?

Fucking metal

"Thanks for the shortbow reminder, I had forgotten"

Lol, I thought that you might have forgotten about my bow. I ain't no cheater! Though I *do* remember Ch'dau learning Meteor, so I think we should all honor that.

Ah, dang, I forgot he dropped it. Kith dropped her shortbow too to grab her daggies.

And yeah, sure, that sounds like a GREAT idea, sneaking around behind the zombies that Kith can't even hear when there are dozens shambling all around her. Might as well just cover herself in Sweet Zombie Ray's BBQ lol

If she survives, she and I will both have learned a very
very
very
VERY valuable lesson.

One option might be that if we (i.e. you with potato sack Kith) don't all get swept over a waterfall, you could all try sprinting to the river, take your time crossing (since the bbq-loving zombies are slow bois), and use that to maybe slow them down even more, and get a couple of them to be carried away by the river. The mage and Crossbow Gib might be able to pick some off as they're crossing as well.

"You may want to provide actions for Kith to take IF she gets up. Or for me to mock. Whatevs."

Bahahaha sweet. I happen to be a glutton for punishment so I'll start working on a post for you to mock unabashedly 

Olan! Will Kith be able to do anything in this next bout, or will she still just be defrosting?

If you're in melee, I think Olan said they get to take a swipe at you if you run away, but if you guys can take it, might as well!

I had to set my street taco down to read through that *sweating*

I saw Kith just started thawing out, but will she be able to do anything in the upcoming rounds, or is she still totally out for now?

I'm sure it'll be

A sundae slaughter squash Kazari!

(I'M SORRY EOL, I'M BAD AT RHYMING THINGS)

I'm actually crying at my desk as I type these things because I don't want to lose my Kithypooooo!

I only play a snarky breebles on TV to lessen the pain. 

Sounds good. Jet lag tore her apart.

Now the ghouls will tear US apart!

That's the circle of life.

Kith would look dope in some cult robes.

And sure, I'll put some feelers out for more nerds!

Hmmm, I'm beginning to think that maybe I shouldn't invite the people I care about into this feeding frenzy.

Soon the Inn will destroy all of my IRL friendships.

She said she'd post tonight when she got back to her hotel

What about character/NPC generators?
Encounter generators?

I think I've seen character sheets somewhere around here, but I can't remember if they're only for one system, or for the various ones run here. That'd be neat.

She flew out yesterday for some works stuffs, so not sure how busy she'll be this week, but I'll bug her about posting!

A breebles can't wait.

Yeah, but it's like, a COOL tpk

Yaaaaayyy! Save us we're dying!

See you, space cowboy!
