The Geomancer prowled the front grounds of the estate and the party had a lock on his location. Fox moved in close and hid among the vegetation, he began to study his prey diligently. Groth lumbered as quietly as he could towards the side of the mansion. The thirst for blood shed started welling up in his chest.
The creature was inspecting one of the stone golems that somberly stood watch over the estate. He moving erraticly and speaking to himself. The sound that spewed out sounded like that of a dog. It moved closer and began sniffing the stone statue. He cocked his head back as the growling sounds of combat wafted out from the hedge maze. He sniffed the air again and returned his attention back to the stone.
From behind the mansion Phae sends a fireball with precise aim. The Geomancer howls in pain. As the flames subside a smoldering mass rises from the ground. The creature shakes off the blast and immediately turns to face the attack. In mid charge Groth stops awkwardly. His blade hangs from his wrist. The beast sways too and fro.
Abruptly he turns around. His eyes are no longer his own. Phae recognizes the scenario and prepares for a difficult choice. Raddick and Nera peer out from behind the mansion's walls. Noticing a possessed Groth they slink back.
The Geomancer approaches with a grin across his face, his eyes are fixed intently on his newly converted minion. He is concentrating so hard that he fails to notice Fox who slinks behind him. Fox instinctively plunges his blade into the creatures back, delivering a fatal blow. Opening the portable hole, Fox wrestles the fresh corpse in. I will have time to search this later he thought to himself.
