key quest
Onlookers might look at this later and wonder, what the fuck were they thinking? It goes like this.
Morgan and her guards' attempts to attack, while valiant, do not take into account the cage of lightning currently draped across the perimeter of the open gates, placed there by the resident Archmage. They are hit, they sizzle, and they fall to the other side of the cage - in direct path of the cultists, and paralysed for the rest of the round.
Zariah's efforts do pay off, at least, and the game of kiss-chase with life drain works to her advantage; the cult leader hisses a curse and staggers a bit. The odds have been evened, it seems, and the energy is restored to its rightful place. (A wise decision, Zariah).
Then all hell breaks loose - thank you,Weaver - and fire detonates between the group of cultists, flinging them here and there and everywhere. It will take them until next round to get their feet back under them, which probably explains why their haphazard attempts to strike at Morgan and her guards fails.
And then we haveLoren. By some miracle dodging around the lightning cage, he makes it out to the other side of the gates unscathed. But maybe it's because he tries to do so much at once, or maybe it's just a roll of the dice - either way, his attempts to befuddle and confuse with his illusions do not go far. The cultists are too intent, too focused.
Not focused enough to get a hit on him yet, however; the cult leader dances back from his attack, but is equally unable to strike him in return. Maybe next time.
Morgan and her guards are HIT by Z's lightning cage on the way out of the gates. They are now on the other side of the gates, but were unable to attack this round.
