Lloyd / Tsuto: The Chapel, Round 03

Lloyd cried out as he saw Tsuto make a run for the chapel’s doors. He wanted to give chase but the hounds were blocking his path. Guy manages to catch up with Tsuto and the half-elf was half surprised to see Tsuto running back into the chapel obviously under the compulsion of one of the eladrin’s spells.

The arcane members of the party then proceeded to bombard the rogue with their barrage of spells. Dark shadow and arcane missiles manifested in the room and hurtled towards Tsuto, further hampering his escape.

The more martial members followed suit. Both Orik and Arao rushed towards the trapped half-elf. Lloyd likewise jumped down the ledge he was standing on and likewise closed the gap between him and Tsuto. Even held by Rhonna’s spell, the rogue was still hard to hit and was capable of defending himself from the attacks directed against him. Lloyd’s attack, though fierce, managed only to score minor hits on his opponent.

Tsuto knew he was in big trouble. He gritted his teeth once more as he tried to resist the force of the priest’s spell. His mind was already ensnared and his body was likewise hampered by the dark tentacles of the warlock’s spell.

“Rhonna!” Tsuto shouted as he finally recognized the source of the spell that held him still. “You darn witch! I should have known you’ll be here. You were always envious of what Nualia has! You had your chance! You…”

Tsuto’s dialogue was cut off as the dragonborn interposed him in the half-elf’s field of vision.

I’m being surrounded! Nualia! I have to get away and warn Nualia!

Tsuto took a deep breath and for a second his training from the academy came back to him and he focused himself. He took in everything in the room and decided on what action he should do. With a twist of his arm and an outstretch hand he reached out towards his armored foe. Swiftly, he struck his opponent and found a nerve true a weak spot in the paladin’s armor. He twisted his strike and exerted enough force to make his opponent suddenly fumble and be suddenly wracked in pain.

The half-elf grinned as he saw his opponent fall and felt the effets of the spells surround him start to loosen their hold on him.

Nualia! I’ll soon be with you my love!
