<div class="floatleft">(https://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo122/grizzly/Bellantha-5.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Bellantha Ravignon (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1828393)</span><br/><br/><strong>HP</strong>: 13<br/><strong>AC</strong>: 17<br/><strong>Conditions</strong>:<br/>-2 to Will against Ria<br/>+4 Survival<br/><strong>Initiative:</strong><br/><strong>Actions:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>The disappearance fo the Orcs was a surprise, but not as much of a surprise as Iona telling the group that their opponents were just illusions crafted by Holgast.  Bellantha remembered the wizard, at least his name, but not too much else about him.  The whole thing had been a test.<br/><br/>A test.<br/><br/>Bellantha loosened her grip on her meteor hammer and the shadow crafted weapon dissipated back to nothingness in a wisp-like puff as her arms went limp.  She felt the blow from the Orcs battle-ax, felt the blade slip through the protective links of her armor to rip into her flesh.  She felt the blood pouring from her side, but it had all been in her mind.<br/><br/>Her side.  Ria was by her side, checking on the non-existent wound.  Ria.  Her closeness now caused even more confusing feelings to slide into Bells mind.  Serana patted her on the shoulder.  "I'm okay."  Bellantha said, offering a reassurance that sounded weak.  "I just...need a moment."<br/><br/>Almost cleaved in two.  Illusion or not, that fact was still pounding away at her mind.  She could have been killed by an illusion.  Could illusions kill people?  Bellantha wasn't sure but if the wound had felt that badly, and if she believed that the wound was mortal, then it seemed to make some sense that could happen.  Her first real fight on her first real quest and she nearly gets herself killed.  It was through no fault of her own but still, she could have fallen, leaving the rest of the group open to an attack.  Or not, they were illusionary Orcs after all.  It was all confusing.<br/><br/>She was probably making a big deal out of nothing but still, she had felt that ax blow.  Bellanthas legs felt weak and she slumped down on the road, the weight of the recent encounter, and her near death, weighing heavily upon her.  It was just a test.  Illusions and a test, and yet the fight had rattled her so.  If this was how she felt after a test, what would happen when the real fight came along?<br/><br/>
