	The Frontier #22 The battle inside the Temple continues... The mage on the floor above casts Magic Missile before anyone can react. Four missiles plunge into Raeden's back. Cereld steps out of the area of Silence and casts Magic Stone. He tosses the first stone, bouncing it off of the mage. The bow brigade, Arafel, Dalliance and Dar shoot at the Mage, with only Dal finding the mark. Unseen by most, Dwaladin begins the treacherous climb to the balcony above. Validar swings and drives his blade deep into the Head Cleric. His body drops to the floor. Close by, Stephanie, Flint and the Hextor warrior, Dran, meet in flashes of steel. Steph twice sinks Lightning into Dran. Dran's blade neatly slices Flint in half. He turns his attention towards Stephanie, wounding her. Back upstairs, the mage is momentarily shocked to see Dwaladin climbing towards her. But she recovers quickly and pumps four Magic Missiles into his face. Life quickly flees his dwarvish frame and he drops to the temple below. The bow brigade fires once more, attempting to avenge their fallen comrade. Arafel scores a pair of hits and Cereld connects with another stone. Badly wounded, the mage flees. A door is heard slamming shortly afterwards. Having disposed of his opponent, Validar rushes Dran. His swing is wide. Dran strikes Stephanie again and she goes down. Moving along the back of the room, Dantar quietly moves towards the exposed back of Dran. A short distance behind him, Araduin opens the rear door and enters deeper into the temple. Cereld grabs his battle-axe and enters the fray with Dran. He misses with his first attack. The bow brigade takes aim at Dran. Arafel pegs him with a shaft. Dantar comes in from behind, attempting to backstab, but he misses. Undaunted, Dantar switches to his shortsword. This attempt is successful, further wounding Dran. As if not noticing, Dran concentrates his attack on his hated foe: the cleric of Heironeous, Cereld. His long swords connect with the cleric. The bow brigade fires once more, sending half a dozen shafts into the conflict. There is the sickening sound of wood snapping. A startled Arafel finds that her longbow has broken in her hands. In the rear of the temple, Araduin spots the mage rushing down a flight of stairs. He attacks her with his quarterstaff, but misses. She counters with a Bind spell. The rope railing on the stairs comes to life and entangles Araduin. He can only watch as she flees out the rear of the temple through a secret door. Back at the main event, Dran pounds Cereld to the floor with a savage blow. Validar sweeps in and lays the villain out. Everything is now quiet in the temple...

GM Notes: A tremendous fight, but the Seekers have emerged victorious! A quick search will reveal that there is no one else in the temple and that the mage has escaped the grounds. Everyone wounded can be tended to, and can post. Party Status: Arafel: 2 of 9 Arathron: 1 of 7* Cereld: -2 of 28** Dantar: 1 of 6 Dar Thaltus: 9 of 10 Dwaladin: RIP Finius: -1 of 7* Finrod: 2 of 14* Flint: RIP Raeden: 10 of 24 Stephanie: -5 of 32** Validar: 9 of 32 * Not longer in danger of dying, but weak and incapable in aiding in the combat. **In need of medical attention soon. Once tended to, they are as *. Now what, mighty warriors?

Present Day Comments: Wiped out a few more PC's there. Primarily folks who were no longer in the game.

Validar A moment after the Hextorite warrior falls, Validar thrusts his arms into the air victoriously. He remains like that for a moment, reveling in the thrill and glory of the wondrous battle just fought. A moment passes and the adrenalin begins to fade. "Twas a glorious battle we did fight, my comrades at arms. Glorious indeed. Not only did we burst into this foul, stench-filled pit of evil, but also we eradicated all trace of the soulless scum that inhabited it! Well done, all." Validar will take a moment to look around at the destruction and carnage about him. A number of the group have fallen or are wounded severely. "Raeden, Dar Thaltus. It appears that some of our comrades are in need of your special skills. Let those of us who are still capable, search this evil place. Our search for Tiger-Cat can now go on unhindered. Also, the coffers of this place are open to us, should we locate them. The local populous shall be quite thrilled with our successful venture here, indeed." Validar will wipe the blood from his blade on the cloak of the fallen Dran and then begin to lead the search for TigerCat and the temple's treasure.

	Dantar Cursing his failed backstab, is ready to get going, after he is healed! (hint,hint!)

Dar Thaltus Looks about grimly at the bloody mess that surrounds him. Not even pausing he quickly drops his bow and chants a short prayer to Ehlonna and places a CLW on Stephanie. Dar then strides over to Cereld does likewise to him. Once the immediate danger of more fatalities passes Dar will circulate among all the wounded using his skills in healing and verbalism to the utmost advantage. The very last person he will tend to is himself all the while giving quiet prayers of thanks to Ehlonna and passing on a blessing to the recently departed members of the group. Once he has done this Dar will move swiftly to the outside in hopes of finding some signs of the fleeing mage. If a trail can be made out then Dar will urgently call upon the others to aid him in tracking this foul adversary and putting her evil presence to an end once and for all!

Cereld Upon being brought back to consciousness by Dar's healing touch, Cereld weakly speaks to Validar, "Validar take those of us who can still fight and go with Dar to try and get that mage. She is weak now and has used up a lot of her spells. Now is the time if we can to get her. But be careful, for I feel that her sting is not completely gone yet. And watch out, there may be more goblins on the loose." With that Cereld will try to get up and if it is not too taxing will try to cast a CLW on Validar before he leaves.

	Arathron Arathron, being healed by Raeden, will quietly make my way to him and thank him for his life.

Stephanie Grateful the have returned from the blackness that she descended into after taking the business end of the warriors blade, Steph will try to get comfortable as best she can. In spite of the pain in her body, her spirits are high. 'Well fought, my friends. The price was high, but the good we have done this day makes it worthwhile. No longer will the villagers live in fear of this vile place! No longer will their blood be spilled in the name of their evil god! Much good has been done this day.' After resting for a time, Steph will try to aid the others as much as she can. She will seek out each of her comrades to see if they are well. 'As soon as we are able, we should get to the more pleasant task of finding the treasure chests of this place. Perhaps we can find some clues about the big sacrifice later this summer?'

	Araduin - Damn my incompetence, now that mage is on the loose. - I'll struggle to free myself from my rope bonds, and then attempt to open the secret door through which the mage fled. When the other seekers reach this area, I shall explain what ocurred here.

	Cereld Mail From Cereld Mad I have an idea for Frontier if you don't mind. Instead of killing off Raeden (if that is what you plan on doing with him) why don't you have him remain behind here after we leave? After all, this place now will have no religion, and this is just the kind of place a druid would feel most needed. Just a thought I had.

Present Day Comments: That's where Cereld's player asked for Raeden to be spared. His player had either quit the game without telling me or simply left Q. Such characters made nice cannon fodder!
