Savaget 1337: (3) You ready your longbow and aim at the treant's currently open mouth. Unfortunately, when the arrow is close enough to get into its mouth, its mouth closes. The arrow instead hits it where the 'lip' would be. One of the other adventurers raises their crossbow, and shoots, seemingly aiming for one of the two remaining branches the treant had. He only manages to knock off a few of the twigs on the left branch, though. The second one takes out a dagger and throws it, aiming for the treant's knothole eye, but misses entirely.

Cathari Sarad: (3, 6) You run out of the horde, but you almost get in the way of a zombie scratch. You decide to stay put, since currently, you can see both of the skeletons and two of the zombies when you turn around. Since the skeletons seemed more compotent than the zombies, it was probably a good idea to take care of them first. So you strike your spear at the skeleton closest to you. It is a direct hit, making the skeleton freeze, and then fall, becoming a pile of bones. The bad news is, you didn't take notice of the gravestone behind it, and now your spear is stuck in it.

Black Mage Anolis: (5) Helping the broken-legged adventurer walk over to the priest, you ddecide to examine the wall as well. There aren't that many books, and they're all on the lower shelf anyway, so it isn't that hard to try and pick out a book that seemed useful- Spells Essential- Cleric and Druid Edition. You pick up the book with one hand, and show it to the priest.

Anolis: Vuird srek ba'ikakir? (Would this be useful?)
Priest: Ah, aeak, srek'ek vros e'k ruudems kur. Vrae ded's e kaa sros bakura? (Ah, ye this is what I am looking for. Why didn't I see that before?)
He take the book from your hand and begins flipping through it, stopping on a page near the end of the book. He turns it around to show you- a spell called 'Greater Restoration'
Priest: Srek ek'es. Du aeui roqa omae raqark emo kvarr'coksems crokk? (This is it. Do you have any levels in a spellcasting class?)

Bacon Zorp: (6) You ready your arrow, having lit it afire while people were shooting arrows and bolts and throwing daggers at the treant, and wait.... the treant soon screeches again, and that's when you let your arrow go, and fly into the treant's open mouth. It goes right in- The treant roars one last time, as it burns from the inside out. It sinks into the ground, it's bark coloured almost entirely black and gray by the flames. But out of the corner of your eye, you spot the branches of the trees nearby catching fire, spreading through the nearby leaves.

Skiller 2: (N/A) While that is going on, your attention begins to drift to a little conversation happening in the back of the church.

Kobold: Ded aeui raor obuis sra marquess em 9-c? (Did you hear about the marquess in 9-c?)
Other Kobold: kra kaakk o'bes-suu... ruv com e vis es? (She seems a bit too... how can I put it?)
Kobold: ...Varr racaeqad kur o mav-rurd? (...too well received for a new noble?)

Bacon Zorp: Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. (3) While panicking, you tell the other adventurers

Rzet: I'm headed towards the church to see if they have any water!
Adventurer: I'll see if I have any water spells- that might work. But hurry!
Since it seems like a good idea, you run as fast as your somewhat shorter-than-the-humanoid-average legs will take you. You manage to reach the church after half a minute of running, and as you apporach, you hear what sounds like a marching band in the distance, playing a well-known funeral march.

Cathari Sarad: (4) Thinking quickly, and not having the time right now to pull your spear out of the gravestone, you pick up a bone from the pile that was once a walking skeleton. One of the zombies attacks, and you manage to block the attack with the bone- and manage to retaliate by whacking the zombie in the gut with the bone you picked up. You even manage to block the remaining skeleton's shortsword, for some time. Keywords- some time. Ouch. But then, some person runs right through the fight, getting the attention of two of the zombies. Those two chase after the person, still running.

Savaget 1337: (6) You quickly leave the scene, and by some miracle, none of the adventurers notice you're gone. They're too busy trying to put out the fire the goblin started. Your conviction to get away as soon as possible has brought you to then exit of the graveyard- sadly, that was where the adventurer you walked past earlier is currently in a battle against the group of undead you saw earlier. Even better, you ran right through the fight because of your conviction. When you glance behind you, it seems you've gotten the attention of two of the zombies. Well, you got away from the forest fire waiting to happen, so yay?

Black Mage Anolis: (4) You focus, and manage to create a small ball of electricity in your hand, and the priest nods in approval. He hands you the book, still open to the Greater Restoration page. You look over the pages for a bit- as the description says, it's one of the more powerful healing spells, good enough to heal plenty of things- including broken bones. However, it's also a) above your current level- you could still cast it using the book as a sort of spell scroll, but with risks and b) it's a cleric spell- you don't have any levels in cleric. You won't be able to cast the spell using only your memory. You can still cast it, but it will be somewhat difficult. Interrupting your thinking, you hear a marching band in the distance, playing a well-known funeral march.

Skiller 2: (N/A) As well as the kovold priest and the adventurer, you hear a bit more of the conversation in the back of the church.

Kobold: Ek'us es o bes kikveceuik? (Isn't it a bit suspicious?)
Other Kobold: O'bes. Es'k orkuks ok-ek kra crorkad srak. (A bit. It's almost as if she charmed them.)
The conversation is drowned out by something in the distance- an orchestral funeral march. Who it is for, you have no idea. But it seems to be headed towards the church's general direction.

Savaget 1337: (5) Remembering that little trick with a bow and arrow that could come in handy, you load you bow with two arrows, for one shot. The zombies approach, and one lunges forwards- that's when you let the arrows fly.
Boom, Headshot!.
Boom, Headshot!.
And so, because they're zombies, they crumple to the ground like the lifeless masses of flesh they are. Now that you think of it, that was a little anticlimactic, don't you think?

Bacon Zorp: (4) You run as fast as your legs can take you, and right into the church. Huffing and puffing from both your journey and your panic, you manage to call out (with a cockney accent, but none of the slang, sadly.)

Rzet: Does anyone have water? And preferably lots of it? There's a forest fire by the graveyard!
With your announcement, the church erupts into a panic- a kobold in priestly robes a little bit away from you hushes the crowd.
Kobold Priest: Oh... There's a well not too far from here, if that helps.

Cathari Sarad: (5, 2) You drop your improvised bone weapon for a bit, and kick right into the remaining skeleton's rib, while grabbing at it's sword hand while doing so. Due to their ribs being smashed in, the skeleton breaks into a pile of bones, but you manage to hold onto it's sword hand- still holding onto the shortsword. With a triumphant rush of energy, you swing the sword at the remaining zombie- and only graze its shoulder. In response, the zombie grows, reaches out, and manages to hit you. Ouch. Even worse, you start to smell smoke, and its probably not too far away.

Black Mage Anolis: (4) As the marching band music gets louder, and presumably closer, you concentrate on the runes inscribes on the page. Occasionally glancing from the page to Dmitry, you attemot to cast the high-level cleric spell, closing your eyes for a second to focus, the runes dancing in your head to the music.
Opening your eyes, you have a gut feeling- and a good one. Did you succeed? Well, there's only one way to find out.

Anolis: Did it work?
Then, a goblin rushes through the gaps in the ruined wall, huffing as if he had just run a lot. With a cockney accent, he cries out-
Rzet: Does anyone have water? And preferably lots of it? There's a forest fire by the graveyard!
The priest hushes the panic that ensued, and turns calmly to the goblin.
Kobold Priest: Oh... There's a well not too far from here, if that helps.

Skiller 2: (2) You raise your hand to wave to the kobolds at the back of the church.... but then, a goblin rushes in, with a panicked look. He then speaks up with a cockney accent

Rzet: Does anyone have water? And preferably lots of it? There's a forest fire by the graveyard!
Well, among all the very loud panic, you doubt the kobolds at the back of the church would have noticed you waving to them. The pirest steps up, and gestures at the crowd to hush. He then turns to the goblin newcomer.
Kobold Priest: Oh... There's a well not too far from here, if that helps.

Black Mage Anolis: (N/A) To your relief, Dmitry manages to get up on his own, and walk about a bit, with no difficulty. You feel your chest swell with pride, knowing that you had just successfully cast a high-level cleric spell.

Cathari Sarad: (5, 6) You stake one final slash at the undead with the borrowed shortsword, and manage to slash at it right across the neck, managing to decapitate it. Not thinking to retrieve your spear, you rush off at top speed, away from where you smelt smoke- and right into a tree. Ouch.

Savaget 1337 (2) After checking the bodies, the zombies had nothing of use on them- or anything other than rotted clothes for that matter. You plan to keep running... when you realize you have no idea where to run. So you just stand there, aimlessly. You then get the faint scent of smoke, from somewhere not too far away.

Bacon Zorp (5) The priest beckons to an 'exit'

Priest: Just go straight.
At top speed, you take off for the well. Before you know it, you've nearly tripped over the edge of it- the walls are kinda short. You see by the well four tin buckets.

Skiller 2: (N/A) You get up, and begin to walk about- with no pain or difficulty. You did see the priest searching for something- perhaps it was a spell. But whatever it was, you can walk now.

Sorry for the short post, my littler brother is demanding the computer.
