A fight against magic

Right after we brought down the ork, we hurried to the girl stranded in the corner and cut her loose. Right next to her is one of the villagers, who as soon as he sees us starts blabbering frantically. We notice that the man has multiple cuts on his arms probably a means of torture the bastards lurking down here used. Through his blabber we pick up that there is a dark elf using blood for rituals. Elessar’s eyes quickly widen, and tell us that probably this elf is blood to be able to conjure blood magic.

We also come to know that the villager’s name is Michael. Hearing his story we hand him over the ork’s sword and ask him to defend the young girl just until we clear out an escape.

And so with that said we had out the room and continue on through the corridor. Shortly whilst moving through the corridor, we find a large entrance that gives way to a large hall. The architecture of this large hall is highly gothic in style and at the back twelve passion statues stay standing. As soon as we enter we find four Cadaver man waiting for us, whilst we see the dark elf at the back holding hostage a villager. Immediately Elessar throws himself into a mind blasting magic spell with a cadaver man whilst Ivor and Ahmok rush on the right towards two other cadaver men. All of a sudden the air dampens and out of it a fog ghost materializes and charges towards Ahmok. Unfortunately Ahmok was still engaged with the cadaver man, and could not prevent a hard gash given from the back by the ghost. Seeing so Ivor tried his went into frenzy and with a mighty swing with the Hammer managed to hit the cadaver man in his chest sending him lifeless on the floor. Then, immediately both Ahmok and Ivor retreated back into a more strategic location. All of a sudden from the centre of the hall we see the head of a cadaver man exploding surely the effects of the Elessar’s potent spell.

Unfortunately there was still a cadaver man and the fog ghost to take care of. The fog ghost being able to float managed to reach Ivor and pin him to the ground. Fortunately the armor took much of the blows causing little bruises but nothing serious. Since Ahmok was free to act he tried a shot at his luck and tried to engage the dark elf however it was too much for him to bare. As soon as Ahmok stepped on the first step a spell struck him and sent him rolling unconscious on the floor.

Because of the difficulty of the spell the fog ghost couldn’t be sustained and so vanished as it had appeared, we quickly dispatched the last cadaver man and ganged over onto the dark elf. Spells from both Elessar and Jarl flew in with no success and so we opted for hand to hand. Seeing the odds were too much for him the dark elf threatened us with the villager seeing so Jarl opted for a heroic action and tried to trip over the dark elf with a charge unfortunately with short stature he did not manage. See so the Dark elf casts a spell and sends Ivor running afraid away from the elf. Elessar all of a sudden hears a voice telling him that villager was useless and so caught in a spell Elessar attacked the villager. Seeing so Jarl and Ajisha tried to pin down Elessar whilst the dark elf taking advantage of the situation scoured away into the darkness
