[YES, you are correct. VOTIN stands at 5998 XP.]

[OOC: What can he see, Narrhil will move till he can see directly into the church along the centre aisle , between the benches. If he can get to within 30 feet, not trying to hit fellow human, hoping wolves have their back to him and he can just hit them and not their foes.

You did know Iron Ranger that I meant 30 feet to wolves not to fellow PCs?

Yes?

but in this darkness, in this downsheeting, through that narrow opening half buried in snow---, he'll only have to guess when to release its fury...

I thought there was a blazing bonfire, with the screams of "more wood!" Being shouted!

Thank the ashen worm he only missed his roll by 1 and didn't kill these poor men.

So was it an Int roll, because he got Int 13 and I rolled an 11, just trying to save the cosmic balance of eternity here?

[OOC: recordkeeping Votin hp: 12 / 17 | xp: 5998]

LOL! Not quite, the heavy snow falling through the burnt out roof keeps dousing it!

Okay, one last try...

The snow piles thick in sheets in these forgotten woods. But through it Narrhil saw firelight. 
Closer now, the outline of a burnt out Church - and a fire can be glimpsed within the broken front doors.

I imagine a great glow pouring out the doorway. Like the light in 'Close Encounters,' and the image of John Carpenter's 'Prince of Darkness,' as a silhouette in the doorway of great happens.

​For the love of mercy and greater goodness in the infinite blackness of the void, show some restraint!

The Great Kthulhu gripped hit tentacles in apprehension.
The Great Old Ones turned in their hidden recesses
and Khalk-Xu the Kraken held his breath. 

Azathoth danced and laughed till the end of time,
and Mordezzan reeled. 

Tlakk-Nakka paused in the spinning of her eternal web, to await the final conclusion... 
Xathoqqua watch in wide-eyed horror,
as Yig coiled in wonder and awe.
What would be the result to this cosmic dilemma. 

Ythaqqa 'The Wendigo' howled outside the ruined church
awaiting the result in anticipation..
Who was doomed to die in his embrace, either his or the Ashen Worm's. 

Yug awaited in the void in still silence, unmoving,
he had plenty time to wait and savour the moment, the fear,
the exhilaration and the trepidation, Ah, Great Kthulhu I beseech thee, answer my prayers...
 

As always, a chill breeze passes on the wind...
Narrhil is pleased with his prize, he's felled the beast in one blow and damn near the other 2 as well!

[OOC: Ah, well tried, I presumed I could see, otherwise I would have not used the wand...]

You told me:

Them I rush in and shot wand... (thinking there is light).

Then you tell me:

[OOC]But that after I attacked, not before. I had presume at time of spell eruption that I had enough light to see by. The other creatures are fighting with the same restriction? They cannot see well. I read no mention of negatives, so presumed; as I read of bonfire idea, but not that as it was growing, it was also decreasing by the constant snowfall. Just could not imagine folks building a bonfire in a storm? I thought they had some shelter from a partial roof...

Just want to ask pardon from fellow PCs. This is my first true game with other players for this game. I have had this game 8 years now and blessed be the cosmos, In my first encounter (with only two IC posts) I kill two other PCs (I think they as good as dead, Tillak even if he saves is in the minuses also and dying?). I going to be pitch black in 6 seconds at rate bonfire is dissolving and if I play in character. I going to have no idea of who the other two humans are and blame the cosmos and state, "this is the way it is meant to be!"

Hope we can live with it.

Did you use the 38 or 33, just out of curiosity? (I got a half-smile if it means anything, life goes on)...

I not want to come across as negative, it is Hyperborea and this is typical of its form, yes? Chaos, mayhem, the gods of madness ruling, etc. It suits. Perhaps we laugh about this later on, yes? I hope so...

Hope fellow Players are still willing to play and create new PCs if necessary? Yes?
