Kéet will use the dying torch to light one of the new ones from the pile.

[I thought they had already gotten their gear,]
[I think only Keet and Tillak, reequipped while Narrhil guarded cavemouth.]
Keet approaches the sputtering torch at the cave mouth and sees dots of flame light near the church far below.
He picks up the dying torch and applies its butt to the fresh one.
And a rock flies past his head into the cave!

“Oh my,” Kèet exclaims at the rock, “Hey, I grabbed your stuff,” he says to Narrhil.
[During Kèet’s captivity, did he learn of any other ways out of here? Or does the cave go further away from the entrance?]

[Keet recalls the beastmen disappearing for long stretches deeper into the cave.]
Another rock flies in! This one coming much closer to its target!

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"I say good man, that is my equipment!" Say Narrhil to Kéet.
At the commotion, the cryomancer hurls abuse at those near the cave entrance, "come in here and I will freeze yer souls, ya hear me?!" He quickly donned his robes and grabs his gear.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
“Ok good, I think there may be another way out of here if we go in deeper.” Kèet then backs away from the entrance, holding out Narrhil’s gear.
"By the way, those things pretty much ambushed my group and decimated us before I could do anything. Have either of you killed any yet? Can they be killed"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil accepts his gear graciously, and places the ring on his finger, glad for its warms.
"Yes, we have destroy a few of their number, my wand is most efficient, but only if it has power. Once that is gone, we will be helpless!" The cryomancer paused, "also master Tillak slaughtered one in martial combat!"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
There is a sudden flash of light outside the cavemouth.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Four best-men," he answers. Then he turns sharply at the flash of light...
[OOC: What kind of light, a bright yellow light, a cold intense white light, like ice, snow or electricity? Could he hear the Beast-men startle, and groan in fear and pain?]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak turns towards the light as well, preparing to place himself between Narrhil and any foes that may attack the party.
- “Moonglum licked his long lips. 'So it’s sorcery again. In truth, Elric, this whole country is beginning to stink of wizardry and the minions of hell.' Elric murmured for his friend’s ears: 'No hell-beings these—but honest elementals, equally powerful in many ways.'"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
“Four, hmm. Hopefully you softened them up with that wand.” Kèet sheathes the axe and draws his sling, creeping up towards the edge to see better where the beastmen are and what that light was.

"Maybe," hissed Narrhil, "but be careful, I may have scared them, but not sure it hit them...!"
The cryomancer was still confused, the strange light was not, he presume of Beast-men origins...

The electrical light crackles forming a transparent dome surrounding the church, its grounds illuminated within as day. There is movement atop the bell tower.
All is silent.

Tillak moving closer to the cavemouth can hear twigs snapping as the beastmen run away down the cliffside.

KEET GOOCH is mesmerized by the cracking light dome.

NARHILL recognizes this is a magic well beyond his learning.

NARHILL hears slow footfalls against stone coming from behind him!
