Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

You stand within a teleportation circle atop a rocky knoll surrounded by the skeletal boughs of a vast forest. Three forlorn, sickly, leafless tress stand upon the knoll. Dark clouds hang motionless overhead. Looking back through the portal, you can see the shadowy outline of the chamber in which you defeated Arantor.

First order of business: Arcana checks for those trained, please. If you auto-succeed on a DC 29 somehow, don't bother to roll--just post this fact here to show off.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley was on his disk, examining his new amulet and modron toy. It looks like a metal box with strange designs on it, and Gromley has already figured out how to change its configuration. Then he glanced around and sighed.

"Well, well, well. Another lovely vista for us to enjoy! I must say, travelling with you all is a an experiences for the senses...its makes me wish I was blind, deaf, and unable to smell..." He sighed theatrically.

(OOC-08:44, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9. Arcana. Total 34.)

"Aye!  Dragons comin' oot the woodwork and vampire Lords wi' magic swords" chortled Harald.  "And as for the smell, are you talkin' aboot ma socks again?"

He laughed loudly.

"Anyhow." He took off his new-found helm and examined it closely.  "Ah fair like this helmet but it means Ah hae two o' them noo.  Wad anyone like this ither wan or should Ah just keep it in case?"

He held up his Casque of Tactics and replaced the Phoenix helm on his head.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon looked around with the weary familiarity of a professional planar traveler. This plane might lack any positive qualities, but at least the air was not acid, the ground was not on fire, and nothing was trying to kill them at the moment.

"We stand in the Twisted Forest of Vaerothim. Somewhere nearby is the Mantled Citadel, lair of the arch-lich Irfelujhar, a faithful ally of Tiamat and one of the greatest ritual magicians in history.  His Citadel is hidden entirely within a hollow mountain, where the halls echoes to the screams of the endlessly tortured.  The forest around us is full of spirits; liars and deceivers all, but beings who's games can reveal truth to the trained mind."  Agon smiled slightly, lecturing was one of his highest pleasures. "Needless to say, they will pose little challenge to our skills."

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Nemeroff started laughing at Gromley's comment. "It could be worse and we ended up on the Plane of Horrible Death. Oh what a minute, we're here but in the minor version." he said, surveying the area. "Well now, from the looks of it, I think we are standing in The Twisted Forest like Agon said. If I remember correctly it is the remnant of a forest (abet warped) that stood about the Mantled Citadel of Irfelujhar. It is hidden within the hollowed-out interior of a huge spire of black rock. He is an extremely powerful and ancient lich famed for his ability to craft rituals of incredible power. He had originally worshiped Vecna, but Tiamat seduced him away from the Lord of the Spider Throne. Shortly afterward, Irfelujhar’s lair disappeared along with much of the surrounding woodland. " he said, looking around.

"There were many spirits of nature in the woodland but they seem to have disappeared from here. I am not sure whether they were destroyed or had been imprisoned elsewhere. It looks like haunted spirits of sentient creatures now inhabit the trees and the strongest of these spirits have given strange powers to the trees they possess, so be careful. Irfelujhar was a bit careless in his work, leaving fragments of rituals he had done all over the place. I should be able to access various minor effects if I can activate one of the fragments that swirl through the forest..." Nemeroff explained, shaking his head at the waste of magic then turning curious as to the experiments that had been conducted.

"He is served by Mornujhar, one of Tiamat’s most trusted and powerful servants. She has five exarchs, one for each of her heads. Mornujhar is her Black Exarch and emulates many of the abilities of that species, so be prepared to get attacked by acid, just like a Black Dragon. He is a bloodthirsty sadist who delights in capturing enemies so that he can torture them. He doesn’t especially care whether his "Guest" knows anything important."

"Concering this location, Vaerothim is a small demiplane, and it can be accessed from Monadhan in the Shadowfell. It shares many similar characteristics of the later, but is much smaller, say, 20 miles in diameter or so. Here Irfelujhar’s betrayal of Vecna, as a consequence, manifest themselves in several ways. Fear or Psychic powers are harder to resist in this area while charms are easier to avoid. So use those magic that can cause fear or attack the mind, rather than charms if you can." he added

While Nemeroff shares this, several in the party see something move on the periimeter around them. The plants themselves seem to be moving!

Roll initiative! And if you want to adjust your starting position, go ahead and do so. No enemies are visible.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Four beings carved from hunks of basaltic rock suddenly appear among you. The four platemail-clad knights heft their greatswords and attack. They divide their attacks among those of your party that they can see, and none of you escape their blade, taking a blow that only your superior skill in staying alive reduced from a grave wound to a mere gash.
Okay, four beings teleport into your midst. Harald, Nemeroff, Zog and Agon are all hit for various amounts, see your stat block below for how much, and all of you are each marked by a different K.

Roll Arcana checks or Religion checks to identify the creatures. Just pick one skill to roll on your turn.  If you get some info for free because you auto a check, I’ll post something to you in a PM, but you all need to roll if you want the full stat block.

The GTBW, Agon and Harald are up. Gromley, just in case you are wondering, there were three of you (Harald, you and entity T) tied for initiative with a 21. Harald goes with the prior group because he had the highest initiative modifier, while entity T goes second based on its initiative modifier, moving you into the same initiative group as Nemeroff and Zog.

Taking a firm grip of his axe the dwarf hurled it through the air towards the creature that had attacked him.  The axe struck and then miraculously appeared back in Harald's hand.

"Hah!  Ye didnae expect that, did ye?"

Agon ducked back, hurt but mostly annoyed. "Iron and strength is nothing compared to mastery of magic. Too bad you have wasted your unlife." He chided his opponents. Sheer Force hit the Blackstar Knights like syrup poured from above, entangling their limbs and freezing several in awkward poses mid-motion.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch's jarring whisper affects all the constructs, causing them to reel a bit. Agon's force-dump affects a couple of them, while Harald's blow flies wide.

A huge, leafless tree strides from the forest. Patches of bright green moss cover much of its vast trunk, and it swings two huge branches from side to side. It moves with malign purpose toward you. Its roots leap out and try to trip up the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, who nimbly dodges the superhumanly fast roots, but that puts her in position to take a smack from the treant's very long arm.

Harald, you actually had 4 Bennies to start the battle, so you only burned one. You missed your target. Agon hit K2 and K3; GTBW hit all his targets.

T is a kind of treant--you all pretty much recognize it as a Blackroot Treant, a Huge natural magical beast (plant, undead). Nature or Religion rolls to know more.
T hits GTBW for 11 hp untyped, and GTBW takes ongoing 5 necrotic damage (save ends). It hits even if you have total concealment.

GTBW, I need to know whether you are still invisibile.

If you haven't given me an Arcana or Religion roll for the black knights, let me know.

Gromley, Nemeroff & Zog are up!

Zog curses under his breath lets fly with a pair of lightning bolts at the more-wounded pair of knight-constructs. He then moves back away from the burgeoning bunch of enemies.

STANDARD:  Elemental Bolt + Elemental Escalation, targeting K2 and K3, hits Reflex 39 for 53 lightning on K2 and Reflex 35 for 63 lightning on K3. I'll spend a Benny to re-roll if 35 misses. When hit, they gain vulnerable 3 to any attacks I make until EOMNT.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Once again, the astral woman appears among his foes, even as the gnome on the floating disk slinks away. She lashes out at all the enemy around her...


(Ooc-shifts one space SE on floating disk. So difficult terrain should not be an issue.

18:29, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 40 using 1d20+27 with rolls of 13. Thought guardian, 4 psi, target 1 vs will.

Hits will do 15 psi damage, give any target hit -2 to hit, and -6 to hit Gromley. If any foe near thought guardian tries to move away from it, or attacks Gromley, it will get an OA on them that can do 12 damage and will daze them.

I cannot move my figure on the map, as I am on vacation and do not have access to normal computer. If someone could do it for me it would be much appreciated.)

"As they say, dinna look a deid moose in the mooth!...or somethin' like that."

He smashed the knight an almighty crack.

"Sorry aboot that, lad but ye were just in the wrong place at the right time."

His eye was suddenly draw behind him to Nemeroff.  "Jings Nemmy.  Have you been eatin' porridge for breakfast?"

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog's blasts open big holes in the sides of the knights, and strange ichor leaks out. The suddenly-enormous Nemeroff and suddenly rather small-seeming Harald both pound one of the knights further, which reels a bit.

Then, Gromley's thought guardian appears, stymying the knights' attempts to move at all and causing one to nearly pitch over from overwhelming psychic power!

As Zog moves away, he notices something a bit too late: Fell energies coil about the trees near him. When the trees awake, each contributes a strand of energy to a writhing mass of green and white energy forming above the trees which then lances downward to strike the visible character farthest away from the teleportation circle. It hits Zog's head, but Zog's well-disciplined mind repels the attack--this time.

The reeling knight next to Harald still manages to strike the doughty warrior HARD.

Reflex 35 hits, Zog, so no Benny.

The trees are a trap--send me a PM if you want more info on how to disable or destroy it.

Knight3 gets lucky and crits Harald for 29 hp, and Harald is marked by Knight3.

Gromley, I need you to make OAs against K1,K2 and K4.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley's thought guardian almost gently reaches out and grabs the minds of two of the three knights, halting them in a miasma of psychic power. The third breaks free and, strolling right past Gromley and slices at Agon, his blade seemingly drawn to the wizard. This opens a tear in Agon's tunic and a gash in his mid-section!

Gromley's OA hits 1 and 4, who are both stopped in their tracks, but misses K2. K2 provokes an OA from Gromley--if you are unarmed, you still threaten, this is 4th edition after all! He then hits Agon solidly for 29 hp necrotic and is marked by K2.

Great and Terrible Bone Witch, Agon and Harald are up. Gromley, if you want to take your melee OA on K2, please do so as well.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon looked at his arm, which was actually bleeding from the knight's slash. "Have you learned not to hit a wizard?" He demanded.  With a flicker, he was safely out of harm's way. Agon used some powerful spells that knocked  the knights around like ninepins, a doubly dangerous move since he had switched the senses of the knight that had hit him to strike at his allies instead.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

As Agon’s blast finishes off one knight and Harald’s blow brings another one to near-destruction, the treant’s roots shoot out again. They grab the Great and Terrible Bone Witch and yank her off her feet, tangling her up. The treant then tries to slam the goblin not once but twice, failing both times.

GTBW is hit by Entangling Roots—she is knocked prone and is restrained(save ends). The prone condition is not save ends, just the restrained. The treant then misses twice including using its action point.

Gromley, Nemeroff and Zog are up. NOTE: If you kill K2, then you negate Agon’s cool effect of having K2 attack K3 and K4 at the end of its turn. So, as a GM who loves these things, please target either K4 or K1 with your attacks so Agon can reap his reward. (Or ready to go after K2 gets his free attacks.)

Gromley glared at the big tree, and those holes it had for eyes glowed. It proceeds to release the Goblin warrior from her bondage. Then it proceeds to wander off-as if confused...

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog curses his luck. The stupid trees themselves were targeting him now. Lovely. He moves closer to Nemeroff and, between the giant defender's legs, blasts the treant solidly, and then whirls in a whirlwind-like motion to blast one of the less-wounded knights as well.

His face is well-nigh impossible to read, but there is a tinge of anger in there, barely perceptible.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

As the party pounds the living daylights out of the knight-constructs, the trees whisper horrible things to the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. She has seen more terrible things, though, and so she ignores them.

Even at a disadvantage, the knight-things are formidable. Both of them teleport to Harald--the prone one included--and attack, delivering painful blows to the doughty warrior.

K2 gets a crit on the two allies of his before Nemeroff cuts him down. Nemeroff's attacks wipe out K2 and knock K1 prone. Zog then bloodies bot K4 and the treant. When K2 dies, he grants 25 temporary hp to his two nearby allies.

Trees attack GTBW this time and miss.

Both K's teleport adjacent to Harald as a move action and attack, K1 still being prone. One hit and one crit totals up to 50 hp damage (21 and 29 hp respectively).

GTBW, Agon and Harald are up!

Agon stepped lightly across the uneven ground, placing his allies between the remaining enemies and his own fragile body. A sudden lash of lightning blasted the treant, sending a small branch crashing to the ground. With an easy flick of his wrist, he hit it again with a magic  missile--all this adventuring had some rewards in terms of common combat spells.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Standing next to the wounded truant, the Great and Terrible Bone Witch feels something sucking life energy from her—presumably the presence of the walking undead tree.

The tree’s roots shoot out for the goblin’s feet but she nimbly leaps above them as they reach for her. However, the truant’s big hand batters her as she lands, and she feels some dark force pulling at her person as the pain from the initial blow fades.

I forgot it last round, so you benefit from that: Anyone starting within 2 squares of the treant takes 10 necrotic damage, which I applied to GTBW this round.

Treant misses GTBW with its entangling roots but hits with a slam for 16 hp and ongoing 5 necrotic (save ends).

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Once again, the undead tree moves away from the goblin lady, and proceeds to smash one of its huge branches down on its foe. Then both Harald and Nermeroff seem to move on their own accord out of the deadly tree's area of negative energy.

(OOC-Using Betrayal to make the tree move, attack K1 (in that order), and as a result is dazed until the end of my next turn. Also, last time it attacked, it was dazed which meant it could not do an attack and use a minor action to use its other power-as when you are dazed you can only take one action. GTBW should not have been hit at all. In any case, Tree is dazed until the end of G's next turn, and K1 takes 21 points of normal damage.

Move action-using noble presence to move Harold and Nermeroff to thier new postions so they do not get in the tree's entropic aura. However, I can't move anyone else. Sorry. They also get +2 defenses.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party's assault finishes off the treant and one of the knight-constructs. The last one staggers to its feet.

Meanwhile, the trees sing a strange song to the Great and Terrible Bone Witch that causes her a debilitating headache...

K1 uses its only action to stand.

The trees are still a threat--they attack GTBW, hitting Will of 40 for 26 hp poison damage, and GTBW is Weakened (save ends)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party combines to blast or smash the nearby trees, which seems to dampen their enthusiasm for attacking. The situation calms down considerably, even as the portal behind you fades out of existence.

Clearly visible in the distance is another rocky knoll. Atop that knoll, a huge outcropping of black rock rises up almost to the low, dark clouds. Between the two knolls stands the warped, skeletal boughs of the Forest of Twisted Souls.

You're good for a short rest here, if you like. If you do, let me know how many surges you spend. Otherwise, your move!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

This bleak, depressing woodland is strangely monochromatic, as if the color was drained from it. Its skeletal, leafless trees are misshapen and twisted, and gnarled roots rear from the ground like great, petrified serpents. Shrouded in damp, noisome moss the trees’ gaunt, rotten boughs twist skyward to form a dense canopy of decaying branches through which only dim light seeps. Whispers of rituals flit through the top of the trees, occasionally dropping closer to the ground.

Give me Arcana, Athletics, Nature, or Religion rolls; if you aren't trained in any of those, roll Perception and/or Stealth.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The trees are horribly twisted and warped by the necrotic energy flowing through the forest. The trees abhorred these foul energies and as a result tried to twist away from the citadel in a vain attempt to escape their influences. The Great and Terrible Bone witch is able to identify the direction of the citadel by examining the twisted trees. Being a good avenger, she is able to sense the greatest concentration of evil in the forest. As the most powerful creature in the domain, Irfelujhar’s aura acts as a beacon of sorts.

Based on this, Nemeroff  climbs a tree to view the surrounding area. He catches a glimpse of the citadel and helps get your bearing.

Agon, meanwhile, attunes himself to the flow of energy within the forest. Necrotic energy flows out of the Mantled Citadel; a success enables the character to track the flow toward its source. He and Gromley use this to pick a safer path through the trees, one avoiding dangers like those presented by the trees in the grove at their arrival.

The trees thin as the land slopes gently downward to a small, sluggish stream. The stream’s water is black and oily and coats the stream’s banks. Beyond the stream stand two figures. The first is large and massively muscled. Clad in a voluminous hooded cloak, shadows cluster thickly about the figure, which carries a massive sickle of black metal. The other figure is man-sized. Skin hangs from its skeletal frame and a shredded cloak hangs limply from its shoulders. At sight of you, it holds up one hand in greeting.

Nemeroff does not recognize the skeletal figure, but the others do...

A sharp hiss can be heard from the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, and a metallic clink as she draws her blade. After all, that thing on the other side of the stream might well be her goddess' and hence her own sworn enemy.

''Whats doyya wants?'' She whispers full of hostility. It does not carry far, but she is sure that she is heard nonetheless.

Agon raised his staff and his orb, reflexively bringing up a flashing shield of arcane energy to protect body and mind. That thing looked like an Avatar of Vecna, mortal enemy of his patroness Ioun. But Vecna wasn't their mission, and fighting a god right now could only lead to disaster. He decided to try riddling with the thing instead. "I see not the only ones with a mission in this place.

"You no doubt have heard the story of how this foul traitor switched his allegiance to the seven-headed abomination Tiamat ages hence, one thousand mortal years ago. Irfelujhar is a crafter of rituals almost without equal and that he is undoubt- edly working on a ritual of undreamt-of power for his new mistress.

Harald smiled grimly at the banter between his companions but he never took his eyes from his target.  It would be far from unknown for a sudden attack to spring from an apparently quiescent situation.

I think Zog's action pushes things over the edge, and I think Zog wants the first shot. Roll initiative. I will get a map up as you all roll initiative.

"Maybes ye shoulda talked a wee bit longer ma freend" said Harald although his grim smile belied his words.  "So maybes Ah should get the ball rollin', so tae speak."

He took a deep breath to steady himself, set his feet squarely and solidly on the treacherous river bank and hurled his deadly axe at the Aspect.  With a dull thud it smacked into his target before rebounding back to his hand.

"How d'ye like them apples" he grunted.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"CHAOS!, guide me and my friends to smite this foe!" Nemeroff said, seeing that battle is going to be joined. His wish was granted but he felt the strain of the request.

Finding that the stream is making things harder, he moved to the edge and in a burst of lighting, he was over at the other side. Swinging the glaive, he hacked at the aspect as he made him his primary target. The foe was expecting the attack and ducked oput of the way. Popping near the reaper, the glaive lanced out to attack it, the strain of chaos making the blow not as effective as usual. Once more as a bolt of lighting, he took up a position that he could attack both foes.  "Forward to victory!" the Warlord cried to the others

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Her offer spurned, the goblin just shrugs and jumps effortlessly over the dead stream - her robe would billow elegantly in her wake, but she is still invisible anyway.

Judging the reaper to be the lesser threat despite its size, she decides to elimate it first and silently utters an oath to Ioun in this regard. Night-terror, her wickedly curved black sword, carves deeply into the spectre.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

As he walks by it, the tree reaches out to grab Zog, who manages to elude the tree’s grip.

The aspect of Vecna reels for a moment, pounded once by hammer and twice by lightning and then used as an unliving missile. It hisses and then says, “My master will enjoy turning your bones into his minions, and if he is lucky he will capture one or two of your souls to eat as well.” It stands and waves its hand in the air. Out of thin air a black, cloying web appears and clutches at the party members. Nemeroff, watching the aspect carefully, ducks out of the web quickly, but Zog and Harald are caught up in it, feeling it suck life out of them.

The Aspect then points its black, eyeless socket at Nemeroff an blasts the defender with a ray of pure black energy.

Meanwhile, as soon as the reaper is hit by Agon’s lightning, it becomes amorphous and semi-translucent. The party’s attacks only seem to partially affect it in the way that such things affect the ghostly. After this preliminary assault stops, it stands and suddenly solidifies. It swings its scythe in a wide arc, catching Nemeroff with a solid blow but swinging over the head of the goblin next to it. It performs the same move from the opposite direction, carving a gash in Nemeroff's side but missing the nimble goblin witch.

The Aspect uses a Move action to stand up and then uses “Necrotic Web” with his standard, missing Nemeroff but hitting Zog and Harald for 20 hp necrotic each. Each gains ongoing 10 Necrotic as well.

The burst creates a zone of webs that lasts until the end of the encounter. The zone is difficult terrain, and a living creature that ends its move in the web is immobilized and takes ongoing 10 necrotic damage (save ends both). The Aspect then uses its Action Point and hits Nemeroff for 21 necrotic damage, and Nemeroff loses a healing surge. It made its save vs. Living Missile, sadly.
The Reaper uses its Umbral Phantom ability when hit for the first time, becoming insubstantial. It then took half damage from the party’s attacks after that.The insubstantial condition goes away when it attacked. It used a Cleave-like ability to attack Nemeroff and GTBW, missing the latter but hitting Nemeroff for 33 hp. It burns its AP to do it again, getting similar results—hits Nemeroff for 25 but missing GTBW.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog decides to tough it out in this mysterious web zone, seeing that there are grasping tree limbs and roots all around that might just hurt torse. He winces at the pain caused by the necrotic webs but focuses through them, blasting at both master and servant with great bolts of lightning that light them up like holiday trees.

Stay put, take my 10 necrotic and make my save at the end of my round. Assume I get a new immobilized/ongoing condition after that, which is fine.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Calling on his indomitable dwarven spirit, Harald threw off the necrotic entaglment wrought by the cruel aspect before them.

“That wiz a mistake, mister” he growled.  “Ah dinae like it when folk like you dinna play fair.”

With that he bunched his powerful legs and thighs beneath him and launched himself over the stream.  Hardly pausing, his knees bent a little and propelled him into a headlong charge towards his target.

Agon keenly attuned wizard skills noted when the reaper fled into the astral. This life sucking forest and combat with an aspect of his least life diety were going bad enough that Agon decided it was time to break out the big guns.  A shield of dark blue energy settled around his allies.  He flipped his sleeves back, freeing his hands for what was rapidly becoming his favorite bit of magic. Immense hands of force, like shimmering white gloves appeared, picking up the Aspect of Vecna and its bodyguard and slamming them together like toys.

As the Reaper swung at Nemeroff, hitting him, the swordmage swung back at the aspect, the glaive connecting. Slipping out of the web, while inspiring himself to action, he tried to continue his attack hoping to break the foes tempo of battle. The attack missed and he tried to sneak in a surprise attack in the process, that also failed. Chaos raised her head and at least allowed him to attack one more time, also hitting the aspect.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party combines to knock the Aspect of Vecna around just as his ally is dominated for a moment by Gromley and strikes the Aspect.

The aspect of Vecna cackles manaically as it stands, dripping ichor from a few spots and dusts itself off. It then launches another if its necrotic webs right over its own space! The web lashes out, missing Nemeroff and Harald miraculously, but dinging the big undead reaper and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. If it is unhappy with this result, it is impossible to tell from its skeletal face.

The reaper swings wildly at the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. This time, it hits the goblin soundly.

Reaper hits Aspect for 18 from Gromley's Betrayal after Aspect's Necrotic resistance. Aspect is now Bloodied after all that; Reaper isn't yet.

Aspect stands and uses his recharged Necrotic Web, only hitting the reaper and GTBW who takes 5 hp and a meaningless Ongoing since his Resist negates it. Makes his save vs. Harald's ongoing.

Reaper does its reach-cleave attack. Crit on GTBW for 32 damage after GTBW's necrotic resist 12.

BOTH Zones of webs that last until the end of the encounter. Each zone is difficult terrain, and a living creature that ends its move in the web is immobilized and takes ongoing 10 necrotic damage (save ends both). Note if you save against the effect once you can't be affected again this battle.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The giggling aspect of the god of death proceeds to smash down its ally, heedless of the consequence of the action.

(OOC-Move action-Moves projected consciousnesses.

Standard action-crit with betrayal on Aspect of Vecna. I think you have counted that as a crit with the victum's attack on its friend.
15:50, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 11 using 5d6 with rolls of 1,3,2,1,4. Crit damage.
15:48, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 48 using 1d20+28 with rolls of 20. Betrayal with 2 psi points vs Aspect.

Total damage is 55, 14 of that being necrotic. Vecna buddy is immobilized and weakened(save ends), and Aspect of Vecna is dazed until G's next turn. )

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The reaper's scythe is a deadly gleaming arc aimed at the Great and Terrible Bone Witch's head... except, she is not even there anymore. Casually she slips in a vengeful counterattack and teleports away, leaving the scythe to behead just empty air.

An instant later she is already back though to hit the poor reaper some more. 'Do not mess with avengers of Ioun' could be the message of all this.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Finding that both of his targets are a bit too far away for his usual trick, Zog elects to unleash a simple bolt of electricity at the Aspect, hitting it squarely. He then uses his back-hand to blast the Aspect again.

Can't move or do much else except blast away. Elemental Bolt, Reflex 35 or 44 with Benny for 53 lightning including Aspect's Vulnerable 3. Action Point for another EB, definitely use Benny to hit Reflex 41 for 57 hp. If first blast drops Aspect, switch to Reaper (who was just out of range of Elemental Escalation, not Elem Bolt).

Reaper's Vulnerable 3 to my attacks end. Staying in place.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

While reeling from the manhandling by Agon’s giant fist and blows from Nemeroff and Harald, the aspect of Vecna happens to turn its one good eye at Zog—and sees two blasts of lightning headed straight at its head. With a sigh, it hisses—and its head explodes. That which is left of its desiccated “corpse” dissolves into dust.

Harald, while moving to engage both enemies, manages to get tangled by grasping trees. Trees grab at the Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Nemeroff, but both are able to elude the frighteningly strong roots.

The reaper manages to slash Harald one more time, missing Gromley yet again, before it is crushed beneath another powerful assault by the party.

The trees and roots in the area continue to grab at you, but you keep your distance.

The Aspect takes 11 crit damage from Gromley and delivers 22 hp after necrotic resistance to the reaper. The movement from Betrayal breaks Agon’s grab from the Hand spell—not that it matters, as Zog blows it into next week. Zog, it did take two Bennies to hit with both attacks.

Harald is hit by trees for 12 damage and is immobilized.

Nemeroff, you save this round, not last round, but it doesn’t matter due to your necrotic resistance.

Calling the fight—the Aspect hits Harald one more time for 30 before you reduce it to goo the next round.

Let me know if you want to take a short rest and how many healing surges, if any, you want to play. Status at the end of the fight below.

Zog proceeds to blast the ground at his feet, then at Harald's feet. He then sits down next to the river, away from foliage.

"You know, I always considered myself a city boy. Never more than today. If one more wild thing starts attacking me, I may start blasting foliage here on principle." More than the usual emotion plays across his otherwise blank-and-hard-to-read features.

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch is in good spirits and hums slightly. Occasionally she cuts off a branch or root with her curved black sword just for the fun of it.

She also heads over to the heap of dust which has been Vecna's avatar and kicks it apart - checking for some more solid left-overs while she is at it.

''You guys readies to heads on now?''

''Mind yous, you is all acting like we is all immortal. Heading into battles this way. Cocky. We is biting off mores than we cans chew eventually. Is just warning.''

Agon just wished that the Aspect had left behind something worth taking: a handful of dust would make a lousy mantleplace trophy. "We did not start this battle--but we finished it." As far as Agon was concerned, an entity as foul as Vecna had to justify its survival to heroes like them, not vice versa.

Zog shakes his head and smiles at Agon. "You are kind to think so, but that is not true. I assaulted that aspect of Vecna. Honestly, I have been dealing with his servants for decades and in all of them have never seen a shred of decency or honor among them. To parlay with his Aspect...well, it took willpower to restrain myself as long as I did."

He sighs. "I am used to a greater degree of negotiation than we are encountering, though. It is disconcerting to be surrounded by so much evil."

He looks around the party and then to the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. "But as for our overconfidence--we have reason to be so, you know. Look at us. We have fought and defeated all that lay in our path, including the dracolich who controlled that last plane and an Aspect of Vecna. We have good reason to feel overconfident, even though it come back to haunt us someday."

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

After this discussion, the party presses on. The forest thins out slightly. Ahead, a huge, blackened, and warped oak tree dominates the area. A few sickly, yellow leaves cling to life atop its highest branches. Those better-educated among you can tell that this mighty oak has in some minor way resisted the corrupting effects of the forest. A beautiful, pale-skinned, slender, eladrin female peers at you from behind the huge tree. Her long, white hair falls almost to her waist and her large, vibrant blue eyes regard you with a mix of interest and terror.

My comrades and myself are on a mission of heroism through the cosmos." He studied the relatively pure ground around the base of the mighty oak. "You must be brave and skilled to survive here. Perhaps we could learn how to avoid the hazards of these cursed woods from you?"

He left the heavy lifting up to diplomat Gromley.

She transforms before your eyes. This humanoid creature is seemingly composed of decayed wood. Dead vines coil about it and a few desiccated leaves hang from spindly branches sprouting from its head. She clearly is--was?--a dryad.

What mattered was how she had survived, and what secrets he could learn from her "Please, miss. We'll be on and through in a few hours, if Ioun's blessings are with us. But what you know, how you survived here, it could change everything..."

Far more serious then he normally is. He glanced at the Modron toy at his belt, thinking it might be the only way...at least until he finds a better place.

"I can see how deep the corruption has penetrated, lady." Agon said. "If it is safe, we will do as you ask once we are clear of this evil place." He wanted to help her, but not at the cost of spreading necromantic corruption to another healthy place.

The pedantic tones of a lecturer crept into his voice. "Almost everyone that has become like you chose unlife. They chose to become a lich.  You cannot choose who you are, but I need to know that you did not chose this freely. And while I know that your domain is bounded by this tree--we must know everything that you know about the Mantled Citadel. It is our destination, and our destiny."

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

She sits cross-legged on the ground and begins to cry. These are the tears of someone who has received good news after a long, long time without receiving any. Several among the party have delivered such news in the past and would recognize the genuineness of such tears.

She finally calms herself. "I know mostly the forest," she says. "There was one wandering around who has taken the form of the One-Eyed god, and an undead that goes with him. There are also some...perverted treants and some constructs roaming about. Finally, by the gate, there are some ghosts of some kind that guard it. I have tried to enter the Citadel itself, but the ghost-servants slew me once. As much as I can be killed."

She then looks hopefully at Gromley, falling at his feet and weeping her thanks.

Additional questions reveal that the "ghosts" by the gate appear to be of several kinds: four that have a coldness about them that can suck life out of those nearby, several more that possess the living and terrify, and one--that actually killed her--that engulfs and absorbs.

She also shares the importance of paying attention to the ritual whispers that fly about. She teaches the arcane casters the secret to use these...

You can spend a Minor action identifying any Ritual Fragments in an area. Almost all of you auto-succeed at such checks, so I'll assume success unless you're Harald.

It's a DC 29 Arcana or Religion check to activate a Ritual Fragment. I'll let you know which kind it is. If you auto-succeed in that check, don't roll--assume it works.

There are several in the air by Nathelar's tree--a Speak with Nature fragment (Arcana or Nature), which could be used to speak with Nathelar's tree if desired.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

While the Great and Terrible Bone Witch is unable to trigger one of these floating "ritual bits," Gromley is.


Ahead, a pathway begins to spiral up the rocky crag upon which stands the Mantled Citadel. The trees cluster closely together about the crag; many cling precariously to the steep cliffs. Thick branches arch over the pathway shrouding it into darkness. The surrounding forest is totally silent—not even the wind manages to penetrate the mass of twisted wood above your heads.

Several in the party sense movement ahead on the path. Many of the strange "ritual fragments" float around you.

You know that the ghostly guardians of this place described to you by the undead dryad are here somewhere, waiting for you...

Roll initiative. You don't see anything yet, but because of your fore-warning, you are able to prepare.

Also, it is pitch black dark here. Specify how you are lighting your way, if you could.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The goblin wonders whether she would not be faster if she simply ditched those guys and sneaked into the citadel alone. Or at least just with Gromley. She sighs, however, and decides to put up with those lumbering and loud giants a bit longer and to fight her way through another couple of guardians she could have easily sneaked past by herself.

Picking a path through the dead brambles she summons the holy energy of her mistress and directs it towards one of the floating ghosts - cunningly the one already hurt by the attack from the gnome.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

One of the spectral beings moves over and hacks at his ally with a spectral blade, which does less harm than Gromley would like but which still lessens the essence of the being. The blasts of light from the Great and Terrible Bone Witch rips through the now-wounded being, causing parts of it to become wispy and smoky. Meanwhile, Zog lights up two of the ghostly figures as if they were will-o-wisps for a moment.

The ghostly figures float forward. They get close to the bunched characters--and start screaming. Nemeroff and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch stagger back despite themselves. Agon clutches his ears and staggers as well, while Zog flinches in place, his knees weak.

The last ghostly figure floats up and tries to touch Zog, but Zog simply stares back at the figure, defying its will.

One of the spectral figures charges Harald and its cold touch chills Harald to the bone. The other of its kind vanishes from sight!

Lots of good hits from the PCs, all of which do half damage to the insubstantial types, though GTBW gets her radiant bonus damage on the undead before halving.

G1-3 start moving up and doing Burst 5 attacks. G1 hits GTBW and Nemeroff for 12 necrotic, pushing both 5 and leaving both immobilized and dazed (save ends both). G3 hits Agon (Will 38) for 13 necrotic, pushing him 5 and immobilized and dazed (save ends both). G2 hits Zog for 10 hp but does not push him, but he is still dazed and immobilized (save ends both).

Gromley and Harald (the latter improbably) become the only party member not hit by ghosts :-)

G4 moves up to Zog and tries a melee attack versus Will but misses.

V2 charges Harald and hits (reflex 39) for 23 necrotic. V1 turns invisible :-)

Agon, Harald and Nemeroff are up. PLEASE remember that V1 is invisible.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog continues to light up enemies like decorations while Agon tries to smash his enemies, crushing one of the undead beings beneath his force-fists. Most of the party rallies due to Nemeroff's skill, and then Harald slashes hard at the undead threat next to him, leaving it reeling (if one can speak of a ghost reeling).

Another ghostly figure rises from the earth. This one is obscenely fat, with a massive moaning mouth...

I should have mentioned last round: Religion checks for monster knowledge, if you have a religion modifier of 25 or higher PM me and I'll give you the basics; if you have a modifier of +34 or better, I'll PM you the stat block.

X double-moves to enter the battlefield.

I assumed people were using healing surges from Nemeroff's power. If you wanted NOT to use a Healing Surge, call it out in your turn.

Gromley, the Great and Terrible Bone Witch are up. Zog, you went ahead of your turn last turn so you can skip it for now; I let your turn stand because it didn't affect anything substantially.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Even as the huge creature rises from the earth something happens. A portal in the midst of the ghostly figure rips open in the air. Sucking in all the spectral beings and the recently summoned one. Only to spit them out to be arranged before the warriors, within easy reach. All save for the large one-which is now unseen.


OOC-
Gromley does Shred reaility, which should hit them all given the bonuses I am getting. If any of the to hit rolls is a miss I will spend a bennie to re-roll them. Upon hitting, Shred Reality does force damage (which effects insubstantial foes for full damage. It also teleports hit targets to their new positions-on the ground in front of my friends. X is an exception, as he is taken out for a full turn, and will not come back until the end of G's next turn. He will reappear within 5 spaces of G, and be dazed until the end of its next turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

One of the voidsoul specters is destroyed by the Great and Terrible Bone witch as Zog blasts the field with lightning and Gromley shreds reality!

The ghost next to Zog and Harald SCREAMS. Zog, Harald, the Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Nemeroff all recoil in terror, the former three moving back and away from the ghost.

The other ghosts move up and claw at the living. Two of them move INTO Nemeroff and Harald, and a strange white mist fills their eyes!

A rustling sound can be heard as the other voidsoul specter moves...

V2 was taken down. V1 is still invisible and double moves.

G4 did his close burst 5 attack and hit almost everyone in range this time; GTBW, Harald, Zog and Nemeroff all take 12 necrotic, are pushed 5 (4 in Harald's case) and are dazed + immobilized (save ends). Nemeroff is not pushed. It just barely missed Gromley.

G1 hits Nemeroff and possesses him--the ghost disappears from play and Nemeroff is dominated (save ends). Likewise Harald is dominated (save ends). Zog's ghost misses him.

All PCs are up since X loses his turn. Harald or Nemeroff, if you have a means to save early, you can do so first and take your action if you make your save. If not, Nemeroff attacks Zog and Harald falls prone.

Remember your saving throws.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

 Gromley's eyes glow, and he focuses on Nermeroff. Sure enough, the ghost is pulled from his body, shrieking and howling in frustrated rage.

(OOC-Gromley makes an Arcana check to make telepathic contact with ghost inside Nermeroff. Once done, he uses an action point to use betrayal to make him leave Nermeroff's body.

G1 is dazed and in a new space. Nermeroff is free of possession.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Harald stared at the invading minions and tried very hard to move to attack them.  There was something niggling at the back of his mind but he could not recall what it was.

As he tried to move, his feet tangled together and he fell to the ground.

As he lay there his tough personality and his even tougher body tried to recover its equilibrium, and, with a supreme effort, he managed to regain normality.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Ghosts weren't the only ones who could play evil tricks with possession. A ghosts mind was a crude thing-mostly hate and hunger, and Agon used his arcane senses to reach out and grab the soul of the furthest one. It was like spinning a bucket of vomit by the handle-risky and dirty, but for a few seconds Agon had the ghost attacking the other undead instead of the party.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The Great and Terrible Bone witch obliterates the ragged ghost before her even as Gromley frees Nemeroff from the clutches of one of these possessing ghosts. Harald shakes off the control of his ghost-buddy while Nemeroff gets his legs back under him. Zog, meanwhile, does as Zog would, creating pretty lights inside the ghostly beings.

Agon, meanwhile, sends one of the ghosts across the field and commands it to attack the fat ghost that re-appears to the north, but its half-hearted attack misses broadly.

Undaunted by their momentary set-backs, the ghosts leap back into Harald and Nemeroff, seeking to control these mighty warriors. Were they lesser men, they likely would not be able to free themselves so easily from this spectral control.

The other ghost struggles against the spectral forces that Agon used to restrain him but is unable to move. He launches a ghostly ball towards Gromley and Agon that explodes into a forest of ghostly trees and grass that tug at the two casters' feet.

Zog, you do spend the Benny to hit.

Agon, I'm ruling that you hit G1 instead of G4, as the GTBW took out G4 before your post. He rolled a nat 1 on his attack on X.

Gromley's use of Betrayal did not cause G1 to attack G3, per my OOC comments.

G2 re-posesses Nemeroff and G3 re-possesses Harald. Gromley, you still have a telepathic link to G2. G1 creates a burst of difficult terrain. If you enter the zone around Gromley and Agon or you end your turn there, you are immobilized (save ends).

Also note that the G's can't actually hurt each other. Your knowledge-y guys can communicate that to the rest of you.

V1 is still invisible and double moves.

Agon, Harald and Nemeroff are up!
Harald, if you don't get a save before your turn, you charge the GTBW.

Agon could feel the magics gluing his feet to the ground, but he didn't care. He was a wizard, and he would fight or die from this spot! "Reveal yourselves to me and be OBLITERATED!" He cackled, lashing the visible ghost with rays of force.

He just hoped the melee fighters figured out how to break possession. Killing his comrades would be bad for the mission.

The possessed Harald charges and swings at the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, but she manages to side-step the warrior. Zog is not so lucky, taking a solid blow from the warlord-swordmage. Nemeroff shudders and expels the ghost, however, leaving it vulnerable to attack.

The big, fat spirit blinks in puzzlement as its head clears after its mysterious disappearance from the demiplane. It swipes lethargically at the goblin avenger, who ducks the clumsy blow easily.

G2 is visibile for all to attack; Gromley still has a mental link with it.

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 202):

Gromley glanced over at the ghost thing which was now free of its host. Then he glanced at the gaint, whose mind he quickly grasped and had it lumber over. Smashing its ghostly ally with its huge hand. Gromley took the time to make sure he was out of range of any retaliation of course...floating away on his energy disk.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley’s gambit works beautifully—the big, fat ghost tears off a big chunk of his buddy, and moments later Zog blasts this pesky ghost into oblivion, wounding the other visible small ghost. The Great and Terrible Bone Witch, meanwhile, further wounds the other visible ghosting.

The remaining visible ghost reaches out for the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, but she easily dodges its clumsy grasp.

The other spectral figure appears near Agon and Zog and tries to touch Agon, but fails. It then vanishes from sight.

Gromley’s target gets a crit on G2, and then Zog takes G2 out and bloodies G1.  GTBW then hurts it worse

G1 attacks GTBW and misses.

V1 moves adjacent to Agon and misses with its melee attack. It then uses a minor action to turn invisible again.

Telling when a ghost was near oblivion was an art, but Agon had mastered it, and he knew that the surviving victim of Zog's attack was near the end. Twin blasts of force struck the ghost, obliterating it.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Feeling the ghost leave his body for the second time, Nemeroff was happy to deal with the large ugly creature that was in striking distance from him. Pulling the blade around his body, the glaive swung about and blasted the huge creature off its feet, heading for a long fall off the knoll.

OOC: Force retreat X off the cliff (Push 8 squares)
17:49, Today: Nemeroff rolled 47 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 18. Force retreat on X vs reflex.
17:51, Today: Nemeroff rolled 11 using 2d4+5 with rolls of 4,2. damage on X.
And 8d10 if it falls off the knoll.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party makes an end of two of the ghosts, and Nemeroff’s gambit sends the big, fat, non-floating ghost tumbling off the cliff! It stands and starts scrabbling up the cliff to get at the party.

Well-played! G1 and G2 are dropped, and X is sent plummeting 80’ to the base of the cliff, taking 52 hp damage before halving for insubstantial.

On its turn, it stands and then moves 3 squares up of the 16 squares to get to the top.

Gromley, GTBW and Zog are up!

Gromley moves forward and mentally wipes the mind of the visible ghostly being. In addition to editing his own presence free of the creature's senses, it would disorient anything else it tried to do.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party pounces on the remaining possessing ghost, hoping to destroy it before it gets to possess Harald again. They are not quite able to do so, but its terror is palpable—so palpable, in fact, that it releases a burst of terror that sends Gromley and Harald staggering back away from it.

It then almost casually floats away from GTBW.

The spectral figure next to Agon tries madly to grab the wizard, but can’t lay a hand on him.

FYI, insubstantial condition halves psychic damage. The only damage that does full damage is force damage, and that’s a nod to 3rd edition as that’s not strictly speaking a 4e rule. When they’re insubstantial, they’re only half there. If you want to establish a psychic link with them in the manner you and I discussed, using a Standard action, you can do full damage.

G3 hits Gromley and Harald for 14 necrotic and pushes them (Gromley 5 squares, Harald 4 squares due to dwarfiness). Gromley and Harald are dazed and immobilized, save ends. It then single moves away from GTBW, who gets an opportunity attack.

V1 misses Agon badly.

Harald struggled to move but whatever had him pinned was strong indeed.  His mind also was mired in some kind of muddle which made decisions difficult and planning next to impossible.

He could see the Bone Witch and Nemeroff over behind one of the twisted trees.  They seemed to be attacking something but he couldnb't see what it was.  Instead he just bent himself to struggle against the forces pinning him in place...and success!  At last he was able to move and think!

Gromley dusts himself off, having not been touched by the attack. He sends his floating disk over close to the side of the cliff, and sees the huge creature nearly to the top. "None of that now..." He says, shaking his finger at it like a naughty child. His eyes glow, and tries to take control of the thing once more.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Smirking at Gromleys cat-and-mouse game with the other ghost, Zog turns his attention to the creature that was attacking Agon. He switches gears and for the first time in a while utters a fire spell command. The air around the ghost explodes, leaving its very ectoplasm burning; he then quickly sends a blast of lightning at the thing, getting lucky and hitting the spot where he thought it was.

"Come and play," he says coyly to the spectral figure.

STANDARD: Ignition, hit Fort 36 ignoring invis because it's a burst 1 for 39 fire damage. The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of my next turn. Any creature that enters the zone or ends its turn there takes fire damage equal to my Constitution modifier (6 damage). A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
MINOR: Quickened Spellcasting using Elemental Bolt, lucky shot hitting Reflex 35 for 46 hp damage.

No movement, let it come to me. Rolled for Elem Bolt first before remembering it was invisible and then switched roll to Ignition, let me know if you want a re-roll instead.

"Ah suppose we just hae the big fella tae finish noo" said Harald, as he wiped some incorporeal gunk from his axe. "Ah suggest we go an' wait for him, yes?"

He moved towards the point on the cliff where he expected the large creature to appear and stood, calmly waiting.


Move: 5 squares

OOC: I can't seem to get the squares out of the way for Harald to move.  Can someone please move Harald next to Gromley's conciousness, please?

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog was out of bennies, but I see he rolled one that would have hit, so I'll spot him the Benny.

Agon and Zog combine to blast the fat spirit into another plane. The spectral beings had no possessions, as one might expect, so the party presses on.

The Mantled Citadel stands atop a tree-shrouded knoll deep within the Forest of Twisted Souls at the center of Vaerothim. As one draws closer to this fell edifice, the trees cluster thicker together until they press hard up against the knoll’s near-vertical cliffs. The only "normal" path that spirals up from the forest floor is flanked by bare rock on one side and a coiled, twisted wall of elder trees upon the other.

Atop the knoll, even greater trees crowd out the light. Their thick branches curl upward around a huge shard of black rock. Passageways and chambers riddle this rock.

Please let me know if you are taking a short rest on the way up and any surges you're spending.

Also let me know if you're going up the path or ascending by some other means.

Gromley seems content following the others, reclining on his floating disk with the cushions, and working on the Modron Toy. He intends to rest a bit, as being attacked by angry undead made him wish for refreshment. Baldrick then fishes some wine out of his bags, teleketically handling the bottle and glass.

"Anybody want any? I was saving it for a special occasion, but I figure dealing with those loathsome spirits might make people want to forget..."

Materializing out of the trees to snag one of the glasses in her little green hand the witch tosses back the glass of wine as if it was some sort of cheep rotgut, hardly even taking time to smell it, let alone taste it before the drink is gone.  Tossing the glass back onto the disk where it slides down the curve into the cushions for a refill.

''After battle, celebration good.  More?''

Enjoy it on your tongue...slowly and carefully! It is something to be treasured, not guzzled like water in a desert!"

He gestures, and a glass appears, and a small amount is poured for the goblin. "Now, I will give you more if you sip!" He demonstrates to her. "Let all your senses enjoy it, as it fills your nose and caresses your tongue!"

While he sipped his wine, Agon brought out a thick spellbook bound in wyvern leather with platinum clasps, and chanted through a brief incantation. He closed the book, and a group of shining white horses cantered up the path, stopping next to the group.  "There may be other dangers on the path. I suggest we ride." Agon mounted up and galloped straight at the edge of the cliff. Instead of plunging to its death, the horse continued out over empty air.  He reigned to a stop, and hovered there. "Ride directly to our destination!"

OOC: Checked my char sheet, and I have Phantom Steed. Arcana +47

We all have horses for 12 hours or until they take damage. The Steeds have speed 20 and can fly 10 squares off the ground.

Tossing back the refill just as quickly as she did the fist glass the goblin presents her glass again for more just in time to be completely distracted by the presence of the flying horses.  Ignoring the now both physically and mentally discarded glass she bounds up on to one of the giant white horses almost as easily as if she could fly herself and wills the beast to chase after it's companion, off the cliff, and continue on without slowing in the direction of the horizon accompanied by a cackling laugh.

Zog stands blinking for a moment at the amazing horse. He approaches it with an air of caution and wonder, gently stroking the magical mount as if he thought it might evaporate before him.

"That is truly remarkable," he says to Agon. "You really must teach me how that works sometime. I have never had the discipline to reproduce such things, but I would be intrigued to find out how such a being could be called, even in this place."

He gingerly springs upon the mount's back and then suppresses a childlike giggle. He suddenly turns into a taller man with a dark pointy beard and fiery blue eyes.

"ONWARD!" he cries and spurs his mount on to follow Nemeroff.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

You fly up easily. You note that the trees below you grasp at air, as if trying to reach you.

Atop the knoll, huge trees cluster thickly against a spire of black rock that rises hundreds of feet into the air. A single, black iron door pierces the rock at ground level. The door is clearly unlocked--Irfelujhar is clearly not worried about unwanted visitors.  The door opens soundlessly into a 10-foot-wide, irregularly shaped, gloom-filled corridor extending deeper into the rock.

Agon's darklight penetrated a brief ways down the corridor, giving them just enough visibility to not trip over their feet. "Something we can hit will be good." Agon nodded in agreement.

Whatever was coming, he had faith in his comrades to see them through.

Never really following a direct path the bone witch slips through the shadows more like a ghost than any surface dwelling race is likely to manage, easily distracted by interesting patterns in the walls, small crevices in the floor invisible to others, or acoustic anomalies lost in the cacophony of sound made by the big folk.  One must only assume that her presence will be felt once again when needed as she follows in the same general direction the others take.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon is able to ascertain that the door will not close behind them. He determines that the door is made of the same thing as the walls: The walls of dressed stone are held together by a mortar made of crushed bone, lead, and magical ingredients that provide proof against magical intrusion.  No windows pierce the citadel’s outer walls; massive metal hinges swing these fell stone doors open and closed silently

No mortal hand had shaped this tomb, and Agon withdrew his hand from the walls. The mortar would block many travel and divination magics.

That was why they had the dwarf. Sometimes brute force was the only way past arcane frippery.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Most of the party hears a clamor and a sound resembling a blast of flame as Nemeroff opens the door.

Nemeroff sees more...


Rest of you get to see what just missed Nemeroff on your turns. :-)

F won initiative, so it flew up and over and fired at Nemeroff, missing.

Harald, Agon, Zog and Nemeroff are up. Nemeroff, the rest of the party is depending on you to clue them in to what's happening.

IMPORTANT: F has altitude of 5 squares.

Also, "Extra Action Point" means that this last encounter was a Milestone and most of you have an extra Action Point to spend because I didn't see that you used the last one. If you did use one in the last two fights, please PM me and let me know :-)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"Whoops!" Nemeroff says as a blast of energy nearly hits him. "There is a floating skull off the ground near a pit in the back with three more forming a kind of square. Two HUGE beasts in the middle. A set of double doors in the back. Lets get them!" he said as he headed in the room.

As he entered, Nemeroff cocked the weapon back and backhanded the nearest beast towards the back pit. He then swept the weapon at the other one, aiming to knock some it backwards to slow it down.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon pushed his way to the front at Nemeroff's shout. The tactical situation was clear, with an opportunity to turn one of the immense brutes against his or her allies. Ago choose a spell, but casting it was like pushing a boat through molasses instead of water. "Magic is changed in here." Ago announced. "Charms are impeded... but I believe that fear and psychic effects will find their power amplified."

After a second, the monster that Agon had targeted moved against its allies. Of course the archmage had gotten his spell through. A master of his caliber did not fail like some apprentice, even in the face of adversity.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog hears Nemeroff shouting something. He moves up to the double doors, opens them, blinks for a long moment, and then raises his hand. He traces a pattern in the air, then sends a blast of lightning through it, blasting the flameskull. He then lets out another blast of lightning, just for point of emphasis, hitting the flameskull again.

Nemeroff drives the massive chain-things back a bit, and then Agon turns the one against the other for a moment while Harald slams into the same one. The wounded creature leaks some kind of oil rather than blood, but it's all the same to Harald.

Zog, meanwhile, blasts the skull with lightning, blasting its jaw right off!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Bursting forth from the darkness the Great ant Terrible Bone Witch once again earns her title, such as it is not really a name, and rains destruction down on her enemies, and perhaps some mild confusion on her allies.  Teleporting and distracting, pushing and shoving the massive amount of energy wielded by such a small creature would be impressive without it's destructive potential, with that potential it comes the terrible part of her title.  Suddenly rearranged the first two threats now stand within easy knife range, and pinned to the ground by their own minds, forced to stand and die.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"Delightful. Chain Golems. Barley any mind to reach in there..." He grumbled. That being said, he did not plan on being one of those horrible things targets. He sent out his projected senses, and stayed in the room-hopefully safe. From there, he attempted to control the mind of the creature the furthest away from his friends. He would use that creatures enchanced reach to grab its fellow, and hopefully hamper it...

(OOC-Using betrayal on A. It will move away from the players, but in range of B. Then it will attack B with +12 to hit and +12 on damage. It will then be dazed, but hopefully it will be out of range of any player on its next turn.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Assaulted by the Great and Terrible Bone Witch’s frightening divine powers, the flameskull explodes!  The chain-thing seems to writhe in place as it is assaulted, but does not seem badly wounded yet.

The two chain golems flails ineffectively, unable to move up on the party.

Suddenly, new combatants emerge onto the scene. Harald is first to notice one of them, climbing out of the pit near him. It is a vaguely man-shaped cloud of roiling gray smoke that spins to attack the dwarf. Likewise, two charge at Nemeroff and one at the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. One slams Nemeroff on the arm, shifting quickly into flank as it does.

F is down; A is hurt and immobilized but not bloodied. A and B are stuck for the round.

A hits B for 33 hp. Corrected Gromley’s PP from the last post.

2 hits Nemeroff for 19 and shifts 1 square; 1 hits Harald for 12 and shifts one square.

B makes its save vs. Harald’s ongoing 20.

The various monsters on the battlefield thought they were safely separated, but they had not counted on Agon's mighty evocations.  He took a few paces into an optminal position, and with a wordless shout sent shockwave across the room. The Great and Terrible Bone Witch stood directly in the path, but with the slightest curl of his fingers, Agon directed the energy around her.

He bowed, acknowledging his own skill as the enemies went flying like ninepins.

With a creature on either side of him, Harald rolled up his sleeves, metaphorically speaking, and started his onslaught.

With a superb strike he smashed his axe down upon the creature to his left and the follow-on even managed to injure the other ‘thing’.

"Dum de dum" he hummed as with a deftness unusual for a dwarf he nipped nimbly to one side to avoid being flanked.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley induces his favorite chain golem pawn to pummel its mate again. Nemeroff dings a couple of the newcomers, while the Great and Terrible Bone Witch manages to open a terrible wound in her target. Agon is not so fortunate, managing to hit and bother only two of the new creatures. He does, however, manage to push two of them into a pit, where one can be heard to land on its feet while the second lands with a satisfying "thud." Zog then blasts the two chain golems; metal flies everywhere as the lightning strikes them.

Both chain-creatures start flailing their chains hard at the GTBW; one of them manages to land one solid blow on the witch.

The creatures pushed down a pit by Agon climb quickly and ably out of the pit and charge Nemeroff, while the one by him shifts and attacks as well. The two from the pit fail to hit hit Nemeroff, though the slam from one of them does manage to strike Nemeroff’s armor harmlessly. The one on Harald also misses.

The one originally by Nemeroff suddenly shifts down by Agon, cracks him in the midsection, and then shifts back to strike Nemeroff as well.

B hits A for 31 hp.

Agon misses 2 and B; I moved them back into position. I changed where you pushed 3 because pushing him into the southwest it isn’t possible—that violates the definition of a Push.

Both chain golems attack GTBW and spend their action points to as well; the best they can muster is one hit for 22 hp. (GTBW, let me know if you get away from them after the first attack or two; that would negate the hit if you are far enough away.)

3-4 charge Nemeroff and miss; 1 misses Harald. 2 does a trick—it shifts by Agon, attacks and hits him for 16 hp, then shifts back to flank Nemeroff, hitting him for 14 hp. (Agon, you may have an interrupt as well.)

ALL THE PCS are up!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Hammer glanced around the field of battle and noticed that everyone was busy and no one seemed too damaged, so he just carried on beating the sh*te out of his adjacent enemy.  Eventually the creature would succumb and Harald could get round to aiding his companions.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley sends the mental message to Nemeroff. Get out of there after you strike one. I can keep all three from moving and damage them at the same time. Nemeroff hears in his mind.

Once the man moves, Gromley will once again create the immaterial mental construct the thought guardian to blast all three metal creatures, and keep them from moving away from it...

(OOC-Delyaing action until Nermeroff moves away from the three. Hopefully one space or more to the left.

Move action-moves projected consicness.

Standard action-using Thought guardian w/4 Psi points and causing it to hover over number 2.

Burst 1 effect.

12:46, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 18 using 1d8+12 with rolls of 6. Psi damage.
12:46, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 45 (47),36(38),41(43) using 1d20+26,1d20+26,1d20+26 with rolls of 19,10,15. vs 2, 3, and 4, 4 psi points

All three rolls are at +2 due to the psi keyword in the power.

Hit: target takes a -4 (-6 total with feat) penalty to attack rolls against Gromley until the end of your next turn. Target will be at -2 to hit anyone else.

Effect: You conjure a thought guardian in an unoccupied square in the burst.
The guardian lasts until the end of your next turn. You can use the Thought
Guardian Attack power with the guardian.

Trigger: Any creature within 3 squares of the guardian attacks you or
willingly moves away from the guardian
Secondary Target: The triggering creature
Secondary Attack: Intelligence vs. Will
Hit: 5 + Charisma modifier psychic damage (12), and the target is dazed until
the end of your next turn. The dazed effect will keep it from acting the rest of its turn.

Will spend a bennie to re-roll if needed.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

With everything exactly the way she wants it the Bone Witch does not further adjust the battlefield, instead teleporting around it a few times just for the sheer joy of it, ending up very close to where she started, and hitting one of the chain beasts in reply as it's strike gets to close for comfort.

As she lands she speaks softly, likely unheard over the sounds of battle and screams of agony caused by her own quiet contribution. ''Big clumsy things die.''

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party continues to beat the creatures down.  The Great and Terrible Bone Witch’s admonition that the big and clumsy chain thing die is heeded as it bursts and collapses, still sizzling from the lightning from Zog a moment before. Her whisper, delivered moments after Nemeroff acid-slid his way through the enemies, causes visible damage to a range of the enemies, and Agon’s force-slam destroys one of them.

The chain-creature tries to bash the Great and Terrible Bone Witch , but she is expecting the attack and side-steps it. Nemeroff punishes it for this by teleporting next to it and striking it hard in one of the wounded spots created by Zog.

The shadowy creature near Harald slams Harald and, as part of the same movement, tries to scoot away, but Harald strikes it hard in the leg, preventing it from moving away.

One of the shadowy creatures that used to be near Nemeroff is unable to move, reeling from the blow from Agon’s conjured hand. The other stands and  shifts over to attack Agon, shifting quickly into position, earning an attack from Gromley’s thought guardian in the process but striking Agon as a result.

A misses GTBW and triggers Nemeroff’s AoA. 1 tries a Standard action allowing him to move and shift, but Harald stops his movement using his fighteryness.

Gromley drops B and leaves 2, 3 and 4 bloodied.

3 is immobilized and therefore cuckolded. 4 stands as a Move and then shifts and attacks as a Standard, incurring the Thought Guardian attack, but hitting Agon for 20 hp. It is hit for 12 by the Thought Guardian and thus cannot take a Minor action this round—but the Thought Guardian effect does NOT eliminate the attack since it was part of its Standard action.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party destroys the chain golem and the shadow-construct near Nemeroff and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. They then quickly and efficiently dispatch the remaining shadow creature and its buddy when it reappears a moment later. Then the place is quiet.

The party scours this big room. They find a number of very expensive-looking gems set in the walls that do not seem to be cursed. They also find a fireproof bag at the bottom of one of the pits that contains a bottle containing a potion that Agon easily identifies and 600 platinum pieces.

Also, the pits under this room are connected by tunnels. Harald checks out these tunnels and there he finds an odd set of grey robes.

15 gems worth 5000 gp each, 600 pp and a potion of recovery. The robes are Stoneskin Cloth Armor +5.

The double doors on the north wall stand still. Several in the party can hear movement in the room beyond, but nothing beyond that.

The Great Swamp Witch busies herself by collecting all the useful, shiny, and or valuable leftovers of the carnage into a pile in the center of the room, then counting it in a surprisingly efficient, but not particularly quick way, by stacking things into easily counted stacks then counting the stacks themselves.

The equivalent of a short rest.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Nemeroff opens the door. Many closed doors and arrow slits pierce the walls of this irregularly shaped chamber. To the northwest, a wide and steep staircase spirals upward. No enemies are apparent.

Nemeroff notes nothing of consequence, but Harald notices something.


What do you do?

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

As the Great and Terrible Bone Witch enters the room, she almost immediately notices eyes looking at her out of arrow slits, and sees dark beams of energy shooting from them. She becomes aware of their presence just in time to be alert, but she still feels the pain of necrotic energy striking her...

GTBW entering the room triggers four readied actions. GTBW is hit (on Reflex) 3 of 4 times.

Your moves--you can take your turns (or, in the case of GTBW, continue your turn), but if you move any further than 10' into the room, pause so you can endure the other readied actions of the creatures within.

Mysterious creatures 1-4 have taken their readied actions; others still have readied. Creatures 1-4 have Superior Cover from ranged or melee attacks and don't have line of effect for Blast or Burst powers.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Snipers! Everyone heard in their minds. The Gnome had a solution for that. His disk floated him in the midst of his group-and then he set up the mind blank field. Wrapping them all in invisibility.

(OOC-6:00, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 30 using 1d20+21 with rolls of 9. Reactive stealth.

Moving to place on the map.

Minor action:
Mind Blank-Close burst 3. User creates zone around self. Moves with User.
User and allies are invisible until end of next turn. Minor action-sustain Zone.

Should cover everybody in a zone around Gromley.

Using my standard action as a minor action in order to use my Shaped Consciousness. Projecting it into the room, but under the proection of my Mind Blank. So I should be able to see where my enemy is, but they will not see the SC or GATBW.

I cannot see my SC counter to place on map.)

Thank Ioun that Gromley could cover their misstep. Agon added a touch of his own, an illusion of the Great and Terrible Bone Witch crumpling under fire, and then lying bleeding out on the floor. Hopefully one or more of their assailants would emerge to check on the 'corpse'.

There's was the faintest shimmer in the air as Ago created a barrier of Pure Force, clearer than the most perfect glass. It wouldn't hold forever, but it would let their warriors sweep and clear the near rooms. "Go! You're covered for as long as that wall holds. And stay clear when it blows--that enchantment is barely contained." Agon warned.

Weathering the first few blows easily the one that misses once again causes the magical goblin to wink out of existence, and to return to the world less than a heartbeat later behind one of her attackers.  Before the unfortunate creature can really notice what is going on the goblin begins hacking away at it with sharp precise cuts from her little kukri.

HArald bursts into the room and steams ahead.  He notices the arrow-type slits on either side and just ignores them, opting instead to move as far into the room as possible.

As he crossed the first corner he noticed some smaller doors to his right and headed towards them.  Maybe they would lead to his hidden foes.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley gets a better view of the enemies with his projected consciousness. They all look like some variety of lich--wizened, red burning eyes, magical powers of some kind or another.

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch teleports into the room near her quarry and destroys it with a single blow. She then whirls to see two more lich-things just like it in the room with her. These two put their hands together and launch a ball of blackness that EXPLODES, catching the goblin witch in a painful blast. The lich-things are almost destroyed themselves.

After Harald is bombarded and overwhelmed for a moment by dark power, Nemeroff moves in and attacks the lich in the common chamber, missing it. Zog does not miss, though, blasting off a big chunk of the lich's mid-section.

The lich next to Nemeroff smiles a horrible smile. Nemeroff can see its wounds healing even as it attacks. Nemeroff gets a chance to chop it, but it then shoves a black ball of energy into his face, leaving him reeling. It then moves casually into a nearby open doorway and closes it.

Anyone trained in Religion can make two distinct rolls for the two kinds of creatures in the room.

5 hits Harald for 10 hp this turn. 8 and 9 combine for an attack on GTBW, hitting her for 10 necrotic and 10 ongoing fire damage (save ends).

X attacks Nemeroff with a ranged attack, so Nemeroff gets an OA. It hits Nemeroff (Fort 40) for 19 necrotic, and Nemeroff is Stunned until the end of X's next turn.

Harald is no longer stunned.

The PCs are up. Nemeroff only gets his OA this round due to X's power.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley shakes his head at his ethuesatic friends-charging forth into the trap. Of course, he had always been overcareful when people where trying to kill him. It was why most of them got hurt and he rarely did. He was sure there where less nice ways of describing the Gnome's tactics. Cowardly was one. That did not concern him so much. He would perfer to be a live 'coward' than a dead hero. Besides-he was not running-he was hiding. Big differance. He quickly made mental contact with his two stunned friends, and made them move into his cloaked field to shield them from the next incoming attacks. Or in the dwarf's case-get closer to his foes...

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon destroys one lich-thing with his blast, dinging Harald; Harald tries to finish the other but misses it.

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch does something she does very rarely: she fails to affect either of her targets with her energy!

Zog waits for a foe worthy of his blasts to appear.

While Zog’s target hides, one of the lichlings peers out of an arrow slit and blasts the sorcerer, causing him mild pain. Meanwhile, the lichling near Harald touches him, and Harald feels strength leave his body. The two near the Great and Terrible Bone witch try to clutch the goblin witch, but fail to land a finger, though barely—they are unbelievably fast for being husks.

Nemeroff gets to keep that Warp the World roll for later.

5 hits Zog for 15 necrotic. 2 hits Harald for 10 hp and Harald is weakened (save ends).

X readies and hides.

THE PCS ARE UP!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley gets an idea about how to get around his foe's cover. He proceeds to summon the thought guardian once again, so it stands within the room with his foes. Then it can proceeded to strike thier minds-boosted by the alien nature of this place.

(OOC:

Minor action-Maintains mind blank. Any friend within 3 spaces of Gromley is still invisible.

Move action-moves to current postion

Standard action-Thought guardian inside area where X and 5 are. Because its in the room with them, they get no cover bonus.

20:42, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 17 using 1d8+12 with rolls of 5. Damage.

20:40, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 29,39 using 1d20+28,1d20+28 with rolls of 1,11. Thought guardian, 4 Psi points.

All to hit rolls should be +2 more because Gromley is attacking from invisiblity.

37 vs X's will, 41 vs 5's will. 17 damage/

If the thought guardian hits, they will both be at -2 to hit anyone, and -6 to hit Gromley. Because this has the right keyword, due to the map's bonus-anyone hit by thought guardian will be dazed. If they move away the thought guardian will get a shot on them.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon spotted what appeared to be the leader of the enemy lurking behind one of the arrowslits, preparing to cast a deadly spell. It didn't get a chance, as a vortex opened behind it, and the lich was sucked away into nothingness for vital seconds. When it returned, the team's warriors would be ready to turn it into paste.  With a flick of his wrist, Agon obliterated one of the lesser enemies with a magic missile.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley has a hard time seeing through the slit, but by targeting a spot in the room, he does well; he destroys one of the loch-husks and causes trouble for the other creature.

Agon, now able to see the elder lich better, sends the lich into oblivion.

Harald takes out another of these lich-things.

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch misses her first target, but destroys the second.

Gromley’s blast takes out 5. Agon, that made your Perception check easier, so you can target X successfully and he goes bye-bye for a round.

Zog and Nemeroff are up—revise your turns based on the above.

The elder lich reappears and is slashed and blasted by Zog and Nemeroff. He snarls, shifts back and lobs a pulse of black energy behind Nemeroff, which explodes. Nemeroff ducks the blast, but Zog and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch take it on the chin.

Other liches remain behind their sconces to the north behind the force wall, waiting...

X gets pummeled upon his return to reality. He shifts back 1 square and launches a burst 2 targeting Nemeroff, Zog and GTBW; Zog and GTBW are hit for 25 necrotic.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Enduring yet another barrage from the party, the lich unleashes another blast of Necrotic energy, braving another hit from the Great and Terrible Bone Witch with abandon.

“You will only destroy this husk,” he says. “I am not afraid of a momentary pause.”

He lobs another burst that hits GTBW and Zog for 32 hp necrotic, just missing Nemeroff. He’s getting wobbly, though, definitely very bloodied.

ALL THE PCS ARE UP! You’re likely to finish it this round.

Zog looks down at the husks. "I am no expert on liches, but I suspect that they are not fond of hand-to-hand combat as a rule. Fussy wizards," he says, winking at Agon.

He says to the group, "If these are truly liches, it would be wise to try to find their phylacteries. Agon, more than most, as well as Gromley and I could perhaps identify them."

He moves with Harald to give the warrior a bit of support and another pair of eyes as they search, looking in particular for phylacteries.

Gromley exhaled, glad to no longer have to keep up the mind blank field. It was very distracting. "I am afriad there is not much to tell. I don't cast spells-I mentally control my enviorment. You might say its two diffrent takes on the same subject-but its also like trying to explain something to you in a language you don't know." He shrugs. "In any case, Zog is correct. The phlacteries will still have a mental presence, which certainly most objects don't. That would help me find where those undead mages are hiding at the very least."

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The group finds a few very interesting things.

First, in a trash-strewn room that contained one of the "minor" liches, they find a journal written in a language that Agon is able to decipher that appears to be a variant of Infernal. In this journal, a lich named Valk complains of being captured and brought to this demi-plane, where Irfelujhar conscripted him to do research. He contended that he was in Irfelujhar's good graces, helping the arch-lich drain the arcane essence of other, lesser liches. The last entry is the mad ramblings of Valk who seems to be predicting dire revenge on Irfelujhar for turning on him. It's pretty clear that Valk became one of these "lich vestiges" as well to somehow fuel Irfelujhar's research. These creatures likely have no phylacteries any more, as their life-energy was consumed by the master of this demi-plane.

Another room holds what was clearly the chambers of the non-ruined lich. This lavishly decorated chamber is obviously the personal chamber of someone important. Searching this room turns up the lich's phylactery--a massive ruby that the party makes short work of. When they do, there is a screaming noise that fills the room for a moment, but then an odd peace settles.

Also in this room, the party finds three smaller paintings or portable gem-encrusted objects worth 50,000 gp each. They also find a few other items of interest to the party members.

The party finds:
Boots of Speed
Ioun Stone of Intellect
Amulet of Seduction +5
and Greater Rings of Invisiblity

Happy Easter :-)


This chamber has a number of monogrammed items for a person named "Uthnis Maiali," so you would presume this was the name of the sentient lich you destroyed.

You also find a guard chamber for one lower level, as obvious from stairs headed down. These stairs only seem to go down about fifty feet.

Lastly on this level, you find pair of storerooms. Boxes, barrels, and sacks containing essentials—food, water, and so on—cram these chambers. Investigation reveals that many of the boxes and barrels have been opened, although not much of the food has been consumed.

The stairs in the large chamber where you fought Uthnis Maiali seem to go deeper, probably a couple hundred feet.

Presuming you take a short rest, indicate if you spend any surges and let me know what you do next.

"Ahhh...look at that!" He gestured, and called over the amulet to him. Baldrick, the glowing orb that floated around the gnome, provided the telekentics. "Assuming no one minds of course?" He took a seat on his floating disk, adjusting his cushions and comparing it to his old amulet.

Zog waves his hand. "Go ahead, I'm fine. I don't have much need for such things, happily."

He sits down near the rest of the party after helping destroy the lich's phylactery. He ponders what kind of monster the master of this plane must be to wantonly destroy liches!

Agon kept Valk's journal. There might be more secrets within, and it'd make a useful lesson for anyone seeking immortality through lichdom. There were always bigger fish in the seas, and the ones on the side of evil had no compunctions about eating their followers.

"So, downstairs we go?" Agon said.

While resting and relaxing the little goblin happens upon a shiny ring, something interesting, something fun, or perhaps just something new, and slips it onto her finger without so much as a second thought.

The suggestion that they go onward and downward is meet with the predictable response, such that that is possible from her.  ''Down we go, down, down, down.''

He gestured at the deeper, darker stairs. "Shall we find the end of our journey?"

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The group heads downstairs into the dark. The stairway turns twice, leading the party deep into the dank underground. A long, thin hallway that obviously leads to some kind of entranceway stretches before you. The hallway is stone, with next to no decoration and an abandoned air.

You notice no creatures or markings of note. Where do you go?

The gnome's telepathic message is heard once more.

There is a huge chamber is the hunk of black rock set against the far wall. Behind the altar stands a font full of clouded water. Two narrow staircases lead downward to the south while several closed doors provide access to other areas. A heavily armored figure kneels before the altar, seeming to be deep in prayer. He is not moving despite the fact the door behind him has just opened.

A strange and spooky keep like this one might have doors that weren't worth paying attention to. Not every book of the Great Library of Ioun was worth reading, for example, and Agon had long ago learned to block out distractions. Perhaps this warrior was the same way.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The dragon born is clearly going to attack. Meanwhile, Zog, the Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Nemeroff hear something moving to the south. More importantly, they SEE something moving THROUGH the walls on the far side of the chamber—floating wraith-like forms heading right for the party. Three of them break off, disappear from sight, and re-emerge from the walls, flanking Zog. The other charges Zog, slashing at Zog with a ghostly blade, which chills Zog to the bone…

You can’t clearly see D from this angle.

1-4 are clearly wraiths of some kind. Three of them use their phasing to get into position, while 2 moves up (fly speed 10) and charges Zog, provoking from GTBW and Nemeroff. It hits Zog for 27 hp damage and Zog is weakened (save ends).

Gromley, Zog, GTBW and Harald are up. GTBW and Nemeroff, take your OAs. Remember that most of you have an Action Point to burn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley, I need you to re-roll three of your attack rolls for Thought Guardian, which were misses, if you want to use Bennies on all three. Re-roll your Benny rolls until you get a 10 or better on the die.

10:20, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 29,37,35 using 1d20+28,1d20+28,1d20+28 with rolls of 1,9,7. Miss one, two, and three.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Incorrect. I was placing them back where I remembered. They have not moved. If you remember where they were before and it was different, please re-place the enemies there.

And, as I said, please KEEP ROLLING FOR EACH ENEMY until you get a 10 or better on the dice roller. This does not guarantee you a hit, but it does counteract the diceroller's inherent evil.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley's power changes the battlefield a bit and damages the insubstantial foes a bit, disorienting them more and leaving them at risk from Gromley's minion.

Next, Harald is up! Harald, adjust your turn based on the current map and situation. You don't have to re-post your post above, just change it and then post in this IC thread stating that you have, presuming you change it.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The goblin-witch blasts one of the wraiths and the dragonborn repeatedly, leaving the one wraith looking a bit ragged.

The dragonborn roars the name of Tiamat and gashes the bone witch. More importantly, there is a BOOM as his blade strikes her, and she knocks prone, shaking her head to clear it of the noise.

After all that, wraith 2 is bloodied. Note—the wraiths are insubstantial, so any damage you did to them was halved. If you have a power that does full damage to insubstantial (as Agon is no doubt about to use), please call it out.

C hits GTBW (AC 49) for 18 hp and hits with a secondary attack (Fort 36) which knocks GTBW prone and leaves her STUNNED until end of C’s next turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Seeing Bone Witch go down, the Warlord screamed in anger. "You are going to be explaining your misdeeds in the afterlife!" said to the armored foe as he worked to even the odds out a bit, slashing at the Dragonborn. The blow bouncing the heavily armored foe along the wall and away from the goblin, as the back stroke caught the wraith that had been standing next to it(Bennie), before testing out his new found ring by disappearing from sight.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon's magic is too strong, and the dragonborn slides up and attacks the wraiths near him! He hits them but, more importantly, leaves them in the same prone daze that the Great and Terrible Bone Witch finds herself in.

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Nemeroff see someone else move inside the temple.

The other wraiths look inclined to move...

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley's gambit works beautifully--the dragonborn strikes the wraith and leaves it prone and stunned as well!

Harald then moves up and delivers a series of attacks that damage the undead.

C hits 2 for some damage and, more importantly, leaves it Stunned and prone.

Harald takes advantage of this, moving in and hitting 2 and 3 for 5 net damage and marking them. He makes his save vs. Weakened.

The first spell misses both the dragonborn and the wraith. Does that change your actions/Benny usage?

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The dragon born roars in anger. He whirls and breathes on both ally and enemy, lightning burning them. He then steps up and unapologetically stabs the fallen goblin witch, clearly trying to kill her while she’s down.

GTBW was stunned and failed her save against Weakened condition.

C uses his breath weapon on 3, 1, Harald and Nemeroff, hitting 3, 1 and Nemeroff for 11 hp lightning and Harald for 14 (crit). He then uses a special ability to negate Agon's immobilized condition, shifts and attacks Zog, hitting her for 28 hp and hits with his secondary attack, leaving her Stunned again until end of his next turn.

GTBW is still bloodied.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The wraiths and the dragonborn take a literal pounding from Agon’s crushing fist spell, and Nemeroff makes several of them pay. It is disconcerting to watch them, though, as their wounds heal themselves at an astonishing rate.

The wraith by the prone Bone Witch strikes her again, desperately trying to drain her life-energy. The two that can still act by Harald attack him. One tries to move to attack Harald, but Harald stops it in its tracks with only the skill that an ultimate fighter has. They strike back, hitting Harald with spectral swords that drain his strength!

The last figure—the humanoid in the actual temple—launches a black bolt of energy at Nemeroff rather lazily; it splashes at the spellsword’s feet.

GTBW heals 59 hp from Nemeroff’s power.

I unintentionally had C abrogate Agon’s immobilization last round, so I gave everyone a Benny in recompense for that error rather than retcon :-)

All wraiths regenerate 20 at the start of their turn. 1 hits GTBW for 37 and is Bloodied again. 4 tries to shift into a flank on Harald but fails, stopped by Harald’s hit, which also bloodies it. 3 and 4 still attack Harald, both hitting for 15 and 22 hp necrotic respectively, and leaving him Weakened (save ends)

D moves a bit and launches a ranged spell at Nemeroff, missing with a nat 1.

Gromley is up! Note that GTBW is bloodied.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon finally noticed that the wraiths were more resilient than they had any right to be. Time to end this, and fast, before reinforcements overwhelmed them.  "No more mister nice wizard" He growled. Two immense hands appeared and closed around the wraiths, crushing them into nothingness.

Attack vs 1: +39 vs Reflex (1 benny used), 47 Force Damage. Full vs Insubstantial

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon's plan works beautifully--his hand of force crushes the existence out of two of the wraiths, and leaves the third in bad shape. Though both wraiths are healing, it appears the party may have them under something resembling control.

The only glitch is that when each wraith dies, it unleashes a terrible scream that leaves the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, Nemeroff and Harald woozy.

The grabbed wraith, being the only active one, reaches out to touch Harald and drains a bit more of his life. Harald is looking a bit poorly off.

The figure in the other room curses. He lobs a black bolt that wounds Nemeroff, causing him to stagger back; the figure then moves to be closer to the altar of Tiamat.

Agon kills 1 and 2, but each gets a close burst 3 death throe. 1 crits nemeroff for 33 hp and Nemeroff is dazed (save ends); on a miss it does 11 hp to Harald and GTBW. 2 crits Nemeroff for 33 hp and hits GTBW and Harald for 19 hp, leaving both dazed (save ends) as well.

3 hits Harald for 25 hp necrotic and leaves him weakened (save ends). 4 is stunned.

D hits Nemeroff for 13 hp necrotic and pushes him 1 square.

Gromley is up! Note that Harald is badly bloodied and Nemeroff is bloodied and dazed.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party destroys all but one of the wraiths and grabs their ring-leader. Then, reinforcements come: a beholder flies around the corner. He first looks with his fell central eye at Gromley, who feels his nerves fail a bit. However, the beholder’s smaller eye-stalk’s beam strikes the ground next to Gromley.

The captive caster in the grip of Agon’s fist does not struggle too much yet—he decides to blast at Nemeroff, but is unable to hit the spellsword.

Gromley is hit by the Beholder’s central eye—Gromley can’t use any Encounter or Daily powers until end of the beholder’s next turn. Beholder misses with eye stalk attack.

Newcomers 1-7 climb down the stairs.

Wraith 4 recovers 20 hp and spends the round Stunned.

D launches a ranged attack at Nemeroff and misses. He doesn’t bother to try to escape yet.

Gromley is up! Note that “no encounter powers” for you means no use of Power Points, I’m ruling.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley seemed quite used to never being directly involved in combat. His floating awareness allowed him to enagage the battlefield from far away, and the enemy had much bigger things to worry about then a pair of disenbodied energy eyes-like his very deadly friends for example. Needless to say, when the gaint shadow of the beholder came up behind the tiny gnome on his floating disk, it was a bit of a shock. Someone was actually trying to hurt him!

"Great googly moogly! You are replusive! I was never here!" He said to it, and then his disk carried him far away and around a corner from the thing...

(OOC-

Standard action:

Using at will power memory hole-prefect for situations just like this! No psi points, encounter powers, or daily power needed!

14:09, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 18 using 1d6+12 with rolls of 6. Psi Damage.
14:08, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 40 using 1d20+26 with rolls of 14. Memory hole vs beholder.

If hits, Beholder is -2 to hit all targets until the end of Gromley's next turn. In addtion, due to map features, it is also dazed until the end of its next action. Furthermore, Gromley will be invisible to the thing until the start of it's next turn.

Move action:

moves to current spot on map. Now totally out of the thing's line of sight. Or is that sights? When it starts its next turn, there will be no Gromley there-and it will be as if the gnome was never there...sorta the point of memory hole.)

Harald slams into the man in the fane of Tiamat, knocking him for a loop. Meanwhile, the Great and Terrible Bone Witch hits the wraith hard, leaving it wounded but not yet destroyed.

Harald hits and with a Benny knocks the guy prone, though what “prone” really means when gripped by a giant force hand is up to your imaginations.

Nemeroff leaves the last wraith reeling Agon, releasing the rather substantial human foe, sends his hand racing after the wraith but fails to grasp it. Sensing that he must act quickly, he aims a magic missile at the thing and it explodes in a wail of pain. Nemeroff and Agon are left reeling a bit from the sound.

The black-clad human near Harald springs to his feet. “Finally, a playmate. Come, let’s dance, master dwarf.” He waves his hands and a blast of what appear to be glistening teeth fly out of his hands, causing Harald to stagger back in pain!

The wraith has a death shriek that hits Nemeroff and Agon’s Will for 18 hp psychic damage and leaves them dazed (save ends).

D stands and hits Harald with a close burst attack for 24 hp and pushing Harald 1 square (taking into account dwarves’ resistance to being pushed). Harald make  save vs. falling prone.

Gromley, Harald, Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Zog are up. Harald, remember your save vs falling prone. There is a reason I’m having Agon and Nemeroff go separately, so would appreciate it if Nemeroff and Agon could wait til the others go.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley moves into the room, and tries to target Harold's foe. However, he is still somewhat disoriented by the Beholder's power...

(OOC-Still under effect of Beholder's power until the end of its next turn.

Moves into room.

Use thought Guardian on D.

13:10, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 31 using 1d20+28 with rolls of 3. Thought Guardian vs D, no Psi points spent.

I assume that is a miss.

Also, If I am targeted, I have immed. Interrupts at the ready.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog shouts back, "We have a bigger problem out here. There is a beholder here."

And, to reinforce the point, he traces a complex pattern in the air in front of himself and launches a powerful blast that rocks the beholder's side. He then moves out of easy sight of the creature and changes shape to look like a burly tiefling.

Use Daily Master's Surge power to use Elemental Bolt + Elemental Escalation without expending use of Elemental Escalation. Hit Reflex 41 for 77 hp damage and it is vulnerable 3 to my elemental attacks (save ends). Move to current location. Minor action Changeling power to change shape, just for kicks.

Gromley’s gambit on the human in the temple room fails, but Harald leaves him reeling and drooling a bit, if not visibly harmed yet.

Zog, meanwhile, rocks the beholder and gets out of its sight while the Great and Terrible Bone Witch also enters the room.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The beholder, fuddled a bit from this last round’s assault, nevertheless recovers enough to blast Agon with one of its eye-stalks, sliding Agon closer to it. Agon hears the sound of more creatures coming around the corner.

Agon is hit for 14 hp and is slid 6 squares. Giving Agon a chance to interrupt with any interrupts to prevent this if he wants before we continue. You are in your current map position—it would slide you 6 squares closer (and do 14 hp damage).

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 529):

Suddenly, the beholder and several of its allies float in mid air. Not a shock for the beholder, but the others look surprised. The beholder and one of its friends proceeded to bounce down the stairs away from Agon, smashing into others as they did.

(OOC-Move action-move my projected concisouness.

Standard action-Ok, using living Barrage! That is an area effect TK attack that also allows me to use my victums as blunt objects against other foes. This will effect Beholder and 1-4.

I critted on the beholder, and rolled pretty good on the others. I do 50 total damage on the beholder, and he is Immoblized(save ends), and is prone-sorta. He is also in a new postion.

The other targets-if I hit thier fort, I do 16 damage and immbolize(save ends) them as well.
Number four takes 21 (or 13) damage-depending on weather or not I hit his fort, and he is prone and in a new postion. He may be immolized or slowed, but he is prone as well.

Anyone I miss takes 8 damage and is slowed (Save ends).

Minor action-I then thrown the beholder and his buddy number 4 down the stairs. They will attempt to smack number 3 and number 1 on thier way down. I must hit thier reflex with a 39 and a 37. If I hit 3 and 1, they take an extra 19 damage and are prone. Four and beholder take an extra 5 damage each and are prone.

04:43, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 19 using 2d6+12 with rolls of 4,3. lviving barrage attack damage.
04:43, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 39 using 1d20+28 with rolls of 11. living barrage attack 2.

As soon as Nemeroff strolls near him, the man cackles triumphantly and unleashes a wave of pure horror that rips through the nearest party members. He grins. “There. Softening you up for Mornujhar. I will go to my mistress now. I have served her well.”

That attack does, in fact, miss, Agon.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley attempts to affect the minds of the two closest foes, but working through his projected senses was diffcult after a time.

(OOC-
2 psi points and memory hole to do an area effect attack.

11:00, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 17 using 2d6+12 with rolls of 2,3. Damage.
11:00, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 28,31 using 1d20+26,1d20+26 with rolls of 2,5. Memory hole w/2 psi points vs M and 3.

If that hits, Grom is invis to them until start of his next turn, it does 17 psi damage, dazes the foe, and gives them -2 to hit until the end of my next turn. However, I rolled crap so I doubt I hit ether.

Move action-moves to current postion.)

Zog moves back around the corner, catches sight of new foes and drops a blast of fire on them!

Ignition centered on M, hits Fort 33 on M and Fort 46 on 3 for 37 fire damage.

The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of my next turn. Any creature that enters the zone or ends its turn there takes 6 fire damage. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Singed by Zog’s zone, the newcomer—another dragonborn, this one dressed all in black armor, strides up to Agon. “I think I know who you are,” he says. “We’ve been expecting stooges of Bahamut.” He then strikes Agon twice hard…

Gromley does miss M and 3. The Hand misses M as well. M moves up and hits Agon twice for 20 and 30 hp respectively.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The dragonborn laughs as Agon teleports away. “Well-played. Your tricks will not save you forever. And I don’t believe you—I know why you are here.”

Meanwhile, the beholder streaks out of its hiding place and fixes its central eye on Zog, disturbing his mind.

Meanwhile, the other creature hangs back a bit, unwilling to be destroyed by Zog’s fire.

So M misses Agon altogether. M runs to current location and hits Zog (Fort 42) with central eye. Zog cannot use encounter attack powers or daily attack powers until the end of the beholder’s next turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

It was even as the dragonborn laughed, that the beholder once again spun like a top and shot towards the warrior. He was too quick to be struck, but the beholder bounced down the corridor and out of sight.

The others get a telepathic message from Gromley. That won't hold him for long. We need to get into those rooms. The beholder's power will be useless then. It cannot effect what it cannot see-and it is too big to fit through those doors.

(OOC-Using living missle on Beholder.

I can slide Beholder 11 spaces, make a living missle attack with it at any point during the slide. Beholder is otherwise immobilized(Save ends). I missed with my living missle attack, but until the beholder saves I can keep doing it as a minor action.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"Next, you die at the hands of Tiamat's servants," growls the dragonborn gripped by Agon's spell. He spews forth a cloud of acid that troubles all the party members caught in it.

Meanwhile, the trapped-in-a-corner beholder breaks free of Gromley’s control.

Zog, M was right in your line of sight, so you hit him last round.

M creates a cloud of acid gas that does 10 acid damage to GTBW, Zog and Harald and leaves them weakened (save ends). The field blocks line of sight. The cloud will persist until end of next round. He also tries to escape the grab but fails.

Beholder stands and makes its save.

The last of the minions surges forward when Zog's ball of fire dissipates, and completely misses the Great and Terrible Bone Witch.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon vaporizes the last minion and hurts the dragonborn. Zog then blasts the two remaining enemies hard while the Great and Terrible Bone Witch tries to strike the dragonborn fighter but only dings the fellow’s armor. However, she hurts him significantly when Nemeroff givers her a solid strike.

The dragonborn, on his last legs, breathes out a blast of acid at Zog and the goblin, scalding both, and then strikes the goblin witch once painfully.

The beholder, now thoroughly angry after being blasted by Zog, lashes out in return at the sorcerer. He fixes the sorcerer with his central eye and then zaps him as well, right in the face. Zog’s vision swims…

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Having listened to what had been going on in the corridor, Harald was ready!  As soon as the acid cloud had dissipated he was off!  Quickly moving out of the room he soon realised the beholder was a looong way away.  There was nothing for it.  Like a sprinter in the dwarf games he dashed down the corridor to get as close as he could.  And then, oraying to Moradin that he had gotten this right, he activated the spell on his magic armour!

The beholder was dragged up the steps to hover, all a-quiver, in front of the angry dwarf.

"You has been feckin' wi' ma mates, ya big ball o' blubber.  Take that!"

And with that he swung his axe, giving the creature a fearful blow.


Move out of room
Standard to move: run down corridor
Minor: Activate warsheath armor and pull beholder 4 squares.

01:03, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 33 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 4. MBA vs Beholder.

Now back into her stride the Bone Witch takes every opportunity presented to her by her enemy to cut him apart at the seams even as he makes his first attack against her.   As soon as their blades cross the first time the Bone Which disappears and reappears farther down the hall, already facing the Beholder.  With only a moment spent to refocus herself on the new threat she quickly covers the small amount of remaining distance and hops up to stab the floating ball more like a cat playing with a bobble on a string than any sort of real sword fight.


IMMEDIATE INTERUPT: Vengeful Perry vs M last round: CRIT for 96 (-2 to attack roll if hit was first)
MISSED BY M:  Teleport 5 SW (if the miss was the first of two attacks the second may be invalid due to death or distance)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Seeing that the groups was starting to deal with the oncoming hoard, Nemeroff moved over to deal with it. As Harald was invigorated by the attacking the beholder, chaos helps with the attack, leaving the beholder to contemplate the error of its ways for a brief moment as the darkness of death started to fall on it...
Seeing that it was distracted, Nemeroff pointed out a weakness for the Great and Terrible Bone Witch to exploit.


OOC: Move: to new location,
Free: Seed of Chaos for Harald since he used an AP, treats the Beholder as granting combat advantage.
Standard:Commanders strike. Free MBA to GTBW since she has the oath going.
09:54, Today: Nemeroff rolled 4 using 1d6 with rolls of 4. Seed of chaos.

Just in case, Harald due to Tactical Presence/Assault, gains +4 to the attack/+8 to damage since he spent an action point

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog, his eyes blurred from the beholder's fell magic, moves up and asks the others where the beholder is. He then winds up and lobs a ball of crackling energy that explodes behind the beholder, not precisely enough to hurt the beholder badly but enough to trouble it.

Happily, however, his vision clears...

Move a bit, cast Ignition, targeting the square behind the beholder. Miss the beholder (30 vs. Fort, blind penalties not applying as it's an area attack), but create a zone as shown on the screen. Beholder will take 9 hp when it starts its turn there.
07:14, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14. saving throw.
07:10, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 30 using 1d20+27 with rolls of 3. Ignition on Beholder.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch gets the kill not once but twice as her almost dismissive riposte stabs the dragonborn through the throat, and then the granted attack by the swordmage Nemeroff causes the goblin to pop the beholder, which explodes dryly into a thousand pieces, its innards only visible and stinking after the explosion...

Your tactics with the beholder were very good--not once did one of you start your turn within 5 squares of the beholder for me to use an eye ray on you. Very impressive :-)

It occurs to Agon quickly that there were likely areas upstairs that you did not explore, as the now-dead dragonborn, beholder and grimlocks came from somewhere. But at least now the party can take a moment to rest...

Each of you with less than 3 Bennies adds 3 Bennies. You can take a short rest--let me know how many surges you spend. You can always try to take a Long Rest or use a ritual emulating one as well.

"Well, I have been very intrested in giving my new toy a try..." He said, pulling out the strange small clockwork cube. He starts folding and unfolding it with a series of gestures, until it starts to float in mid air and does its unfolding under its own power. "There we go...I think..." He said, his disk carrying him floating behind the dwarf just in case.

Eventally, the device finishes, and it creates a arch out of its own substance. An energy portal is in its center, plusing and moving. "Ah yes! It worked!" Gromley said, sounding exitced. Then he clears his throat. "Err, I mean, of course it did. Let's just check it to make sure its safe..." He sends his projected senses through the portal, and gives it a once more from the inside.

"All clear!" He said, and his floating disk carrys him inside.

Rather than try to engage the trap from inside the portal The Bone Witch simply backs up a few feet and runs up to the lip of the extra dimensional space before leaping into the air and clearing more than three dozen feet before her feet touch the ground again, almost daring the trap to be sufficiently large to even trigger, let alone harm her.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog and Agon know the trap--it is an enervation trap that would suck life-energy from the person stepping on the spot. Agon knows enough to be able to suppress the field, restricting it to only two feet tall or so; then Zog is able to use his dominant winds to fly each party member over the area. Finally, Gromley compresses his modron toy to a small size, leaving the trapped area there but relatively harmless unless someone accidentally steps on it.

Where do you go next? You have not yet explored doors to 21  or 14, or gone down into 20. You have also not spent any time examining the altar or the foul waterfall behind the altar.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog finds a dark, dingy, low tunnel that leads to two smaller, private shrines, each of which were clearly used for carnal worship of the goddess of licentiousness in ages past. It is doubtful anyone has come here in ages who actually enjoyed pleasures of the flesh.

As for the altar, the blood of countless sacrifices stains this black-hued chunk of rock. It appears otherwise to be a fairly mundane altar to Tiamat. The fountain behind it is clearly tainted with necrotic goo of some kind that would be of great help if one were undead, but otherwise unremarkable from Agon's expert perspective.

Where else do you go?

Area 14:  Deep shadows coil the comfort- able chairs scattered about this chamber.  Argon surmises this was a private counseling chamber of some kind.

Area 15: This hallway is empty of all but lavish tapestries depicting Tiamat in all her dark glory.

Area 16: A long, formal table and chairs dominate this chamber. The walls are deco- rated with tapestries showing Tiamat triumphing over Bahamut.

Area 17: Beyond the dining chamber, the room beyond is ostentatious to the extreme. Several couches, low tables, and other valuable items of furniture stand about the room. A bedroom beyond it Area 18 is very clearly a bedroom, though without clear valuables in it.

The door beyond this to Area 19 seems to be magically locked.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The mages conspire to open a door--and are greeted with an impressive treasury. The party takes a few minutes to fill their extradimensional spaces with the treasure!

The other door off of the main fane Area 21  is another personal chamber. A large tapestry on one wall depicts Tiamat standing triumphant over Bahamut, whose body is rent by one savage wound.

The rest of the doors in the hallways are to small cloister-like cells.

Now the choice remains: head up or downstairs next?

Unexplored upstairs areas or unexplored downstairs areas.

"Downwards seems wise enough." Agon agreed. There was nowhere safe on this plane, and they would find enemies whereever they searched. He took a moment to destroy the tapestry with a blast of magical fire.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

While participating in the general sweep of the area for hostiles or useful things left behind The Bone Witch does not really engage in the process of looting until she finds the giant tapestry.  Without a moment's hesitation she leaps up across the length of the thing and drags her little blade across the image of Tiamat's depicted body leaving a long cut through the fabric in an impressively accurate replication of the depicted wound on Bahamut's body, evening the score in her own destructive way.

As the group begins to gather at the stairs downward she joins them, not making any comment about the sudden act of destruction more akin to pillaging than looting.

Agon moved to cover both the closed doors and stairs down with his magical firepower, and nodded his assent to breach the doors.  There was a standard practice for these sorts of things: set up covering fire, check for traps, listen for enemies, and then explode through ready to do great harm to what lay on the other side.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The creatures, now fully active, fill the room with a mighty wind that inhibits movement.

As Nemeroff settles after his whirlwind attack, a blue dragon head rises from the mosaic and breathes at Nemeroff, sinking back into the floor. The mosaic is clearly a trap!

The whirlwind-creature nearest Nemeroff wraps the spellsword in a whirlwind, buffeting him and pulling it in towards itself. Its pal tries to move up and buffet Nemeroff as well, but has less luck.

Similarly, the cyclone-thing next to the goblin witch grabs her in a whirl of air.  Its pal whips around to block the way in and threaten the goblin.

Then, to make matters odder, two giant chairs teleport into the room. Nemeroff and Agon can feel the effect they have—they somehow suppress teleportation!

IMPORTANT NOTE: as of this round, all squares within 3 of each of the numbers is considered difficult terrain. Also, the chairs (letters), aura 2; enemies within the aura cannot use any power with the teleportation keyword, and enemies that teleport into or out of the aura take 15 force damage.

Nemeroff does hit all three of his targets.  Nemeroff takes 28 hp lightning damage from the mosaic-trap. #2 hits Nemeroff for 31 damage and Nemeroff is Restrained (save ends).

GTBW is hit by 4 for 25 hp damage and is restrained (save ends).

A and B teleport into the room and generate their auras.

The mosaic is a trap--you can attack it (in which case I will add it to the tracker) or you can try Thievery attempts to disable it, which can be untrained.

Gromley, Harald, Agon and Zog are up! Make Arcana checks to identify either monster. I saw Agon rolled an Arcana check for the numbers, but otherwise roll and add to your turns.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The whirling forms of air revealed their nature to Agon. They were not, as he suspected elementals, but were in fact constructs. He explained as much to the group. "As constructs, their core programming is rather simple and can be easily confused. Of course, as you'd expect the very force of air makes them dangerous in close combat, but Oh! Excuse me."

A tactical opportunity presented itself, and Agon dashed forward. An immense thunderclap raced before the noses of Harald and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch, gathering all the enemies roughly in the center of the room. With deadly quickness, Agon brought down one of his powerful magics, crushing them under invisible force.

He summons a tiny red ball that streaks out and explodes in the midst of three of the things, two cyclones and a chair. He then holds out his hands and blasts one chair and one cyclone for good measure.

Move to current square. Use Ignition on A, 1 and 4; miss 4 with a nat 1, hit Fort 40 on A for 38 fire damage and hit Fort 39 on 1 for 38 fire damage. The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of my next turn. Any creature that enters the zone or ends its turn there takes 6 fire damage. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Under Gromley's mental control, the nearest giant chair smacks the windy column next to it. Harald moves up to a different one and smacks it twice.

Harald, be sure to note the aura effects on the monsters--their zones would impede your ability to shift. I had you attack #4 since your attack would only really work on that one, and to enable your allies to do the area effect.

A hits 1 for 15 hp after halving for insubstantial thanks to Gromley's Betrayal; A is dazed. Harald hits his target comfortably both times with Bennies. Agon hits 1 and 2 with Thunderlance; he hits 2, 3, 4, A (with CA from Gromley's attack) and B with Crushing Titan's Fist. Thunderlance damage is halved due to insubstantial, but everyone takes full damage from the Force attack.  Zog hits A and 1 with Ignition, and both A and 4 with Elemental Bolt et al.

Nemeroff and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch are up!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Feeling the grasp of the foe try to restrain him, Nemeroff shouted out a rallying cry that helped to distract the foe near the Bone Witch and Harald, giving one of them a chance to slip in an attack in the confusion.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The Great and Terrible Bone Witch deals precise and deadly blows to the wind-storm-thing nearest her and destroys it, and deals massive damage to the other one by her.

Nemeroff deals a potent blow on his enemy and Harald, heeding Nemeroff’s call, badly damages the wind-storm next to him.

The two wind-storms flanking the large Nemeroff smash and buffet the sword-mage; the southern one envelops Nemeroff in a swirl of air while the other creature across from him pokes him very hard, drawing the swordmage’s attention.

The first chair-creature drags itself out from under Agon’s crushing fist and moves up to assault Harald—well, sort’ve assault him. A surge of protoplasm leaps from it and strikes Harald, who disappears and reappears next to the other big chair, even while it teleports right next to Zog! It then assaults Zog, its protoplasm cracking the sorcerer across the face even as they transpose in space, leaving it right next to all the casters.

The other chair-thing hits Harald again, teleporting it back next to the most-damaged cyclone-thing. Then, the badly-damaged cyclone-thing next to Harald grabs at the warrior, holding him fast and buffeting him. The chair-thing, for its part, teleports to a spot north of the goblin witch but misses her with its protoplasm.

Meanwhile, a white dragon-head rises from the mosaic on the floor and blasts the Great and Terrible Bone Witch and Nemeroff with a blast of cold. Nemeroff dodges part of the blast, but the goblin witch takes it straight on.

GBTW destroys #1, so its secondary attack hits 4 instead. Nemeroff and Harald hit their targets.

3 hits Nemeroff for 24 hp and Nemeroff is restrained again (save ends). 2 crits Nemeroff for 26 hp and Nemeroff is marked by 2. Nemeroff is bloodied.

A takes 6 hp from Zog’s zone. It spends 4 squares of movement to move out of Agon’s zone and then the rest of its movement to get next to Harald. It then hits Harald’s Will for 33 hp damage and teleports him next to B; it teleports next to Zog. It then spends its Action Point to crit Zog for 47, teleporting itself and Zog to their current locations.

B hits Harald for 29 hp and teleports him to his current location. It also teleports and attacks GTBW, but misses.

4 hits Harald for 24 hp, and Harald is restrained (save ends). It takes 6 from Zog’s zone.

Mosaic targets Nemeroff and GTBW; GTBW is hit with 26 cold damage and has ongoing 10 cold (save ends). Nemeroff takes half, 13, and no ongoing.

All PCs are up! Harald and Nemeroff are bloodied.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

With the two storm clouds teaming up against Nemeroff, he lased out with the glaive as his blood dropped from the horrendous wounds, slashing at the cloud that had held him in place.

As the chair creature downed the wind-storm, Nemeroff let out a cheer. "One less to deal with, we can do this!" he said, as waves of healing surged around him. With a quick respite from the action, the Warlord took this glaive in both hands and swept it on a swath of destruction around the gathered foes.

Harald hurled his axe at the chair that looked most damaged.  It was, after all, standard dwarven policy to take down enemies as and when you could reach them!  Using his magical Dwarven Throwers he threw his jagged axe with all of the power of his normal melee strike and it thudded home into the upholstery.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Much-rattled by attacks, the giant chair constructs converge on the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. Both reach out with pseudopods of will, but find the goblin’s mind hard to affect!

Meanwhile, the air-things buffet Nemeroff.

A shifts into flank with B on GTBW, but both miss GTBW.

2 and 3 both hit Nemeroff for 12 and 17 hp respectively.

"Ah still canna move" grunted Harald as, once more, he hurled his hammer against one of the chair constructs.  The one to his south looked a little the worse for wear and so he targetted that one.

It felt odd, however.  Almost as if he was continually throwing his hammer!  But at least the effort seemed to help free him from his immobility.

Harald’s blow destroys the badly-damaged chair-thing, which bursts like a balloon. Nemeroff sprays acid across a range of enemies, scalding some of them. Agon blasts the remaining chair-thing, which reels from the electoral blow.

Meanwhile, Gromley exerts his mental power over the cyclone, commanding it to attack its partner in a windy buffet, even as Zog blasts the same cyclone and the remaining chair-thing, destroying the latter.

The remaining cyclone emotionlessly press their assault, coordinating on Nemeroff. One of them spins and gives Nemeroff a glancing blow that sends him staggering back; Nemeroff recovers just in time to duck a blast of air from the other one aimed at his face.

Then, after a round's reprieve, a black head rises from the floor's mosaic and blasts the changeling sorcerer and the dwarf fighter; Zog and Harald feel some pain as a sticky goo coats them as well, burning at them.

Harud gets the kill on A. Agon’s first Arc Lightning target becomes one of the cyclones, and he still misses.

Nemeroff hits 2 and B, misses 3. Zog takes down B, wounds 2. 3 hits 2 for 30 hp damage before insubstantial, and 3 is dazed until end of Gromley's next turn.

2 hits Nemeroff for 20 hp and Nemeroff is pushed to his current condition. 3 just narrowly misses Nemeroff.

The mural then breathes acid on Harald and Zog in a close blast 5 for 27 hp damage. Each gains ongoing 10 acid damage.

ALL PCS ARE UP. REMINDER: All terrain within 3 squares of the cyclones is difficult terrain.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party destroys one cyclone and badly pounds another. Harald and Nemeroff are buffeted by the wind coming from the thing.

Sensing that Nemeroff should command its attention, the thing shifts away from Harald and blasts at him, leaving Nemeroff reeling.

Meanwhile, a somewhat cracked mural raises a snow-white dragon head and breathes cold on Zog and the goblin witch. The Great and Terrible Bone Witch takes only part damage from the blast, but Zog takes it on the chin.

Harald and Nemeroff take 10 hp for finishing within 3 squares of the enemy, an aura effect that I have been forgetting to apply. I always forget auras :-(

3 shifts away from Harald—it can do so since Harald doesn’t have it marked—and uses a ranged attack on Nemeroff, hitting him for 19 hp and leaving Nemeroff dazed (save ends).

Mural attacks GTBW and Zog in a blast 5, hits Zog for 28 hp and ongoing 10 cold damage, misses GTBW who takes 14 hp.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

To Gromley’s considerable disappointment, the remaining cyclone fails to effectively hit the mosaic. Harald strikes both, though, though his swing-through doesn’t seem to hurt the stone mosaic at all. Agon’s lightning blasts both as well!

3 rolled a nat 1 attacking the mosaic. Harald hits the cyclone and hurts it, but the Cleave damage on the mosaic doesn’t penetrate its Resist All 15. Agon hits both, hurts both.

Nemeroff, please roll damage. 37 hits.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

With a flourish, the party destroys the remaining cyclone-thing, which dies with a whimper, and burns/blasts the living daylights out of the mosaic on the floor. Silence falls on the room, which is appropriate, as it appears to be a library--albeit with papers now lying everywhere after wind-creatures buffeted them. The question occurs to you: what fool puts wind-creatures as guardians in a library?

Bookshelves line the walls here. Agon immediately notes one very unusual one, though--black and seemingly throbbing with arcane power, he identifies it and uses a minor ritual to retrieve it. It appears to be locked with some kind of arcane lock.

The next room over (room 23) is clearly a sitting room. Desks, couches, and comfortable chairs line the walls of this chamber. There is only one thing that is unusual: what appears to be a human corpse is preserved in a glass case!

Harald recognizes the figure!

The construct corpses prove interesting to study. He would be a bit shocked if he ever saw their like again, but he thinks he has a couple of ways in mind where he can harm them differently in the future.

If you ever encounter these again, they are Vulnerable 5 to your attacks.

More importantly, Agon figures out that the figure in the glass is held in a peculiar kind of stasis. It takes him a few minutes, but he works out the near-invisible runes on the body and does a bit of counterspelling of his own. Suddenly, the figure moves....

"I see. And perhaps that is a lie. Or perhaps not. No matter... As for Irfelhujar, I know only his name, and that he is in consort with dragons."

"And you, ma wee pal.  You need tae tak' heed o' what Ah am sayin'.  These folk are a braw bunch o' fighters.  Gin we meet ony dragons, they'll mak' mincemeat oot o' them.  So gies yer hand an' lets act like brithers thegither."

"We are sent here directly by the deity Bahamut. He hand-picked us for the mission, in fact.

"We were sent here to prevent a servant of Tiamat from hatching a plot of some kind. We are well along in the process of finding this servant, Irfelhujar, and stopping him.

"For my part, I am happy to have you join us, provided you pay more attention to what I say. In my home, I am an arbiter of justice and defender of the innocent.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Having acquired a new companion, the party returns to the stairs by the library while perusing the dark book they acquired from the library.

Agon and Zog are able to determine from the initial pages of the book that Mornujhar--an exarch of Tiamat, whom the party just apparently defeated--infiltrated Bahamut’s temple in Celestia and stole the only copy of a ritual that enabled Bahamut’s high priest to summon his patron in physical form. (Such a ritual is only performed very rarely and thus has not been missed.)

Because only Bahamut’s high priest could complete the ritual, it was essentially useless to Tiamat. What she needed was a corrupted version of the ritual, which is why she seduced Irfelujhar into her service. Copious additional notes describe Irfelujhar’s work on the ritual and Mornujhar’s work in tracking down various extremely rare objects needed for its completion.

The final pages of the book record the ritual itself. The ritual was designed to permanently slay Bahamut and would take ten centuries to complete! While the book does not provide an exact date of delivery it is apparent that Tiamat must be nearing the ritual’s completion—for surely she would have commenced the ritual as soon as it was within her grasp.

As the party nears the top of the current stairs, they are presented with a fairly mundane choice: a set of stylized double doors in front  of them or, slightly down the last flight of stairs, a secret door.

Which way do you go?

Several of the party point out that the secret door is NOT that easy to find--it's just that people like Harald and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch are absurdly good at finding secret doors.

The DC of the secret door is 35, which is an auto-success against the passive perceptions of Harald and the Great and Terrible Bone Witch (and possibly others--I stopped when I saw those two).

Harald, finding that the secret door is not locked and requires but pushing to open, enters to find himself in a narrow, dust-free corridor that smells of damp leaves for some reason.

He does a quick survey of the area and finds that there are two secret doors in two branch hallways. They do not seem to be trapped.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The death knight stands, glaring at Zog as he bleeds. "Thaumaturge, you shall pay for your betrayal," he howls as he turns and tries to strike Harald unsuccessfully. He seems inclined now to stand and fight than to run, and for reasons that are soon clear: foul ghouls of some terribly powerful stock start pouring into the room...

Harald, make 7 Opportunity Ataacks. If he rolls a 34 or lower on any of them, Zog can make an OA as well.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Harald and Zog deal grievous blows to the death knight. The death knight, for his part, staggers to his feet and stands his ground, swinging uselessly at Harald. Harald and Zog feel drawn to keep attacking the death knight.

A veritable horde of ghouls pours in the door in support of the death knight. However, only one manages to survive Harald’s hammer, also dodging Zog’s knife. As they die, though, each one bursts in a  blast of evil blood, hurting both Harald and Zog.

The one that does survive slashes at Zog, whose legs freeze as the creature slashes at him with its claws.

Meanwhile, the double doors by Vali burst open and more ghouls move through, leering and slavering.

Both Harald and Zog take 30 hp necrotic damage (5 per dying ghoul) from a death burst as each ghoul minion dies. One minion hits Zog for 9 hp and Zog is immobilized (save ends).

No Benny needed to hit the death knight, Zog. Death Knight is bloodied. Death Knight misses Harald, but both Harald and Zog are marked by the Death Knight.

Vali and Agon are up. Harald is bloodied.

NOTE: I am not putting the ghoul minions in the table. Their AC is 35; if you hit that, you destroy one. There are a lot of them.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon knew what these ghouls were instantly. He'd been fighting the hungry dead since he was an apprentice, and was well aware of their paralytic touch. Individually, they were trash, but they could sap the life from even the heartiest heroes en mass.  With a word and a gesture, Agon warded the entire group against necrotic energy, and them stepped into the doorway. A crack of thunder literally blew the approaching rush of ghouls apart. "Back to the grave, flesh-eaters. A wizard bars your way!"

Vali, given a clear target, and a clear path thanks to the wizard's powerful magic, blurs into action, streaking forward to stem the flow of ghouls from the narrow passage they are appearing from, lest they be overrun.

Move: Walk 6 (Along, then up)

Free: Guidance of the past

I'm going to bennie(If I get one) since missing would be an awful start. In which case, I'll use rampage to make an MBA vs 9 as well.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

With a final flourish, Harald and Zog take down the death knight, whose death-rattle is ironic but welcome by the party.

As this happens, another half-elf--one who looks akin to the half-elf that the Great and Terrible Bone Witch disappeared with--appears out from behind the cover of a nearby corner. Dressed in black-and-purple robes, he regards your group with understandable terror. He runs up to a southern door, opens it, screams in Abyssal that enemies are in the building, and then runs to the south.

STAY IN INITIATIVE. Please post one round's actions at a time, even if you do not pursue the half-elf.

If you move off the map to the south, state in the OOC section of your turn how much movement you had left so I can post it on the next map.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon saw the half-elf make a run for it, and managed to make it to the door just in time to see their quarry round the corner. "Why don't you stick around?" Agon said, casting one of his favorite spells. A crushing hammer of invisible force smashed the runner to the floor like a bug. A flick removed the lingering gravitational field. "Move up, you're clear."

Half elf trying to escape via another corridor to the south and west.


"A'm on it"

Without even a break to draw breath, Harald raced out of the room on the trail of the fleeing elf.  As the elf started to disappear into another corridor, Harald realised he could not reach his fleeing opponent.  But all was not lost.  With his war-cry on his tongue he activated the magic of his Phoenix Helm and of his gloves and hurled his hammer.

"Gaaaaptoooth!"

Zog moves up behind Agon, looking very much like the fleeing half-elf, and says in a mild tone to Agon, "Duck."

As Agon does so, he blasts the fleeing half-elf with a bolt of lightning. "RUN FASTER!" he says mockingly.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The half-elf, wild-eyed, raises his hand and utters powerful, blasphemous words. The hallway fills with ghostly maws that chew at Harald and Nemeroff. They are gnawed and chomped at rather uncomfortably. When Harald and Nemeroff's vision clears, they spot the half-elf just in time to see him disappear.

Lots of hits on the now-bloodied half-elf. He uses a close blast 5, hitting Will on both Harald and Nemeroff for 23 psychic. He also gains 10 temps.

The red box is a zone. The zone is filled with ghostly maws that lasts until the end of the encounter. Each creature that starts its turn within the zone takes 15 psychic damage. The thaumaturge gains 5 temporary hit points whenever the zone damages a creature.

He then uses an ability to teleport out of your sight, sacrificing 5 temp hp.

Both Harald and Nemeroff take 15 hp to start their turn as well, reflected below.

The PCs are up! You will need to move to a point where you can see the fellow to target him.

Several of the party now can see the room where the half-elf teleported to. This room is filled with walkways. These walkways are composed entirely of bone magically fused together. Waist high balustrades crafted from thigh bones run along the walkways.

Head down and axe up, Harald charged into the half elf, knocking him away to the left and skipping nimbly into the enemy's original position.  With nary a break for a breath, the fighter hit again but this time with the flat of the axe.  The half elf spun along the walkway and collapsed to the ground.

Harald gestured forward with his axe and called back to the others.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Harald sends the man sprawling and then Agon knocks him unconscious. As Nemeroff moves in, though, something stirs in the darkness. Nemeroff and Harald hear something moving—but see nothing at first. Then, out of nowhere, two black, clawed figures appear, firing darts out of their maws at Nemeroff and Harald. The dart targeting Harald bounces off the warrior’s armor, but the one targeting Nemeroff hits his flesh, scratching him and making his limbs feel like lead!

The two previously-invisible creatures on the map appear and attack at range; B hits Nemeroff for 9 poison damage, along with giving Nemeroff 5 ongoing poison damage and making him Slowed (save ends both).

Zog and Gromley are up! Harald is still bloodied. Even if it’s not your turn, you can make an Arcana check to identify the new enemies.

Zog utters something under his breath. Suddenly, the winds swirl around him madly and carry him forward. He hovers over the walkway, eyeing both enemies, and then unleashes a blast of lightning at both of them. He seems to almost be a being of cloud at the moment, making a loud hissing-popping noise at them.

Even as these attackers reel from Zog's powerful blasts, two other creatures fly up out of the darkness. Blood-red, they gaze terrifyingly, freezing Harald's legs in place, and then grab Zog and Harald in their feral claws....

1 and 2 fly up out of below. 1 misses both Zog and Agon with a minor action attack vs. will; 1 attacks Harald for 15 hp damage and Harald is Grabbed (until escape).

2 hits Harald with a minor action attack vs. will; Harald is immobilized (save ends); it attacks Zog, hitting him for 18 hp and Zog is Grabbed (until escape). He’s holding Zog in the air if Zog’s hover ends.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon’s force-ram slams into one of the clawed creatures—astral stalkers, he identifies them—right to the edge of one of the platforms. At the last possible second, though, it grabs the edge with its massive claw and drags itself to the edge.

Meanwhile, the flying creature near Harald and Vali takes a number of blows, blood flying from its form, which seems only to heighten the insanity in its eyes!

Before the party can react much further, however, the walkway begins to undulate! It rocks particularly violently underneath Vali and Agon, threatening to fling them off into the abyss!

B made its save to avoid being pushed off the edge, is left prone by Agon.

2 gets hit by Harald and Vali a lot. :-)  2 is bloodied. Harald breaks free of 2.

Agon and Vali, each of you make a saving throw. On a failure, you are slid to the northeast off the edge of the walkway! Bennies can be used. A success leaves you in your current square but prone.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

As the walkway nearly throws Agon and Vali off into the abyss below, the astral stalkers attack Zog One fires a dart from his throat which Zog dodges; the other slashes Zog with his claw and then licks the blood off of his claw, staring evilly at Zog…

Agon and Vali make their saves and thus are prone in their squares instead of falling off the edge.

B misses Zog; A hits for 15 hp and designates Zog as his Quarry.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog, amazingly enough, blasts the astral stalker attacking him and the one grabbing him. The creature grabbing him, for his part, gazes in what is supposed to be a terrifying fashion, but Zog and Agon are unimpressed. Not so unimpressive is a look from the blood-creature facing Harald; it shoots a look that freezes Vali and Agon in their tracks.

The creature holding Zog keeps tearing at the sorcerer, holding on to him.The creature that was formerly holding Harald tries to slash the warrior and then “step” away, but the fighter slashes the creature HARD for its trouble…

1 misses Agon and Zog with a burst 3; 2 hits mental defense for Agon and Vali, leaving each immobilized (save ends).

1 hits the held Zog for 16 hp.  2 misses Harald and tries to shift, but fails to do so when Harald crits hi for 38 hp and ongoing 20 damage (save ends)

Vali, Harald, Agon and Nemeroff are up! Note that Zog is bloodied.

Zog looked like he could need some help. Agon concentrated on the creature grappling him and twisted in a dimension 90 degrees from everything. The creature disappeared into an invisible distance. He'd be back, but by then the tactical situation might have shifted.

Harald was quite startled by Valli's flurry of axes.

"Impressive, man!"

BUt there was no time to dwell on such things.  He headed off to deal with the next creature but was startled to come across a misty shape next to Zog.

"Well!  You ain't one o' oor laddies, so here's a wee present frae me."


His axe bit home like a breath of fresh air and the dwarf felt quite refreshed.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Both of the astral stalkers elect to maintain their invisibility rather than attack; Harald in particular can hear his quarry scuttling away, climbing away on the outside of the walkway.

The walkway, meanwhile, tries hard to knock Agon and Vali off again…

A and B double-move invisibly away.

Vali and Agon, please make saving throws or you’ll get knocked off the edge. If one of you fails, Gromley will catch you. Zog, make a roll of 5d6 to add to your healing surge.

And with that, he called over his shoulder.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The astral stalkers reappear in new locations, clearly having maneuvered to them, and fire darts out of their mouths at Vali. One of them hits him, hurting him and causing his joints to stiffen

The walkway continues to undulate. This does not bother the sure-footed Harald in the least, who just stays planted in place like a good dwarf would. Nemeroff, on the other hand, is nearly knocked off, but Gromley catches him just in time.

A and B concentrate fire on Vali; B hits for 18 damage. Vali also takes 5 ongoing poison damage and is slowed (save ends both).

Agon, you had to stand from prone, so you only were able to move 6 squares.

Walkway attacks Harald and Nemeroff. Harald, being a dwarf, is functionally immune to the walkway as it can only slide him 1 square and dwarves negate that. The walkway does hit Nemeroff and he fails his save, so Gromley has to save him.

Zog is up. Gromley, let me know if you teleport Nemeroff to the same square he was slid out of or to a different one.

Now stuck next to Harald, the blood-creature stares intimidatingly at the pair of warriors. Nemeroff feels strength leave his legs as he is frozen in place It then claws madly at Harald, but Harald doesn’t feel the pain, as the energy passed into him by Gromley absorbs the blow.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog’s blast obliterates the remaining blood-red creature and opens a gaping gash in the side of the visible astral stalker.

Nemeroff then moves quickly up to the visible astral stalker and tries to knock it over into the abyss, but mostly manages to knock it prone.As he does, he whispers magic in Zog’s direction that gives him healing…

Zog destroys 1 and bloodies B.

Nemeroff uses Inspiring Word on Zog—Zog, spend a healing surge and regain an additional 5d6 hp. He then moves up to B and hits it with Cunning Flurry for 22 hp and knocks it prone when it makes its save vs. being pushed over the edge.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley prepares to catch anyone who falls—only finds himself sliding a bit towards the edge.

The visible astral stalker staggers to its feet and turns invisible.

The other astral stalker reappears and shoots Zog again, hurting him

The walkway hits Gromley and slides him one square. No need to teleport as Gromley was in no danger. The walkway also attacks Harald but can’t affect him.

B stands and turns invisible. He’s still where he was, so he can be targeted at -5 to hit.

A moves and attacks Zog, hitting him for 15 hp and giving Zog back his 5 ongoing damage and slowed condition, save ending both. He is now visible.

All the PCs are up! Gromley’s action is still readied, though Gromley may want to move to avoid being the subject of his own save action next round.

Sadly, neither of Harald’s blows hit the invisible enemy.

The walkway bucks and pitches, nearly knocking Nemeroff off, but Gromley is saved by a rope that appears above him that he can grab onto. Nemeroff dangles over the abyss relatively safe for the moment.

The invisible enemy runs off and hides, no longer desiring to die in a combat with this absurdly powerful group! The rest of the group is able to make it out into the hallway. The creature foolishly tries to attack them a few moments later but is shredded by Zog and Vali.

Time for a short rest—let me know how many surges you’re spending and anything else you want to do during the short rest.

"A plane of betrayal means that she is better gone." Agon agreed. He smoothed down his robes. Though he hadn't taken a hit in the running melee, he'd been tossed about a fair bit.

Zog looks up at Agon and sees him smoothing his robes. Looking down at his own clothes, torn in several spots, he laughs. "Hey, Agon, I think you missed a spot."

He nods to the others. "That's fine. Let's go finish our errand here. Maybe she'll turn up later."

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The party takes a few long moments to sit on the stairs and gather themselves. Then they rise and ascend to the top of the stairs, where a pair of ebony-black stone doors await the party.

Any preparations before you go into the room where the owner of the plane almost certainly awaits?

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The matter is rather removed from Harald as the doors whisper open of their own account. The master of the house is clearly ready for his guests.

A crystal ceiling allows dim light to illuminate this plushly arranged chamber. Eight crystalline pillars hold the domed ceiling aloft. A large statue of Tiamat stands toward the back of the room. Behind it, five alcoves pierce the wall.

A tall, gaunt, bald human clad in red robes trimmed with black edging stands before the pillar, an elongated ebon wand in hand. His sallow skin has fallen away in places, revealing gleaming white bones beneath.

"You have done very well to come to this point. I suppose I shall have to re-stock my minions now. A pity you will not survive to see the next iteration of this place. Come, show me what you can do."

He is delaying to let you all go. Yep, he's that confident.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

“Raaargh!”

Harald whirled his axe above his head and launched himself at Irfelujhar.  It was all very well for the others to attack from range but he needed to get his hands on the enemy...to rip them head from body...or similar!

His axe swung at the liche as he also tried to barge the beastie off to one side.



MOve: 5 squares
Standard: Minotaur Charge.
Mark Irfelujhar.

01:36, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 35 using 1d20+31 with rolls of 4.  Minotaur Charge vs Irfelujhar.
01:36, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 46 using 1d20+31 with rolls of 15.  Benny reroll.

01:38, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 49 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 20.  Secondary attack vs Fort.

If the first attack hits, then Irfelujhar is pushed 1 square NE and Harald shifts into the original square.
If the first attack hits then the secondary attack goes in.  If that hits (it was a crit!) then Irfelujhar is pushed 3 squares east and knocked prone.

Cloak
At the start of each encounter, you gain a +2 item bonus to AC and Reflex until an attack against either of those defenses hits you

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

”Very good,” says Irfelujhar, standing up. ”That was actually quite impressive. But it will not be enough."

His wounds are healing before your very eyes as he raises his hands. A blast of force cracks into the three closest heroes, driving them back.

He then mutters a spell and a field of necrotic tentacles erupt from the floor, almost grabbing Agon!

Irfelujhar stands and regenerates 50 hp. He uses a close burst 3, hitting Nemeroff, Vali and Harald for 26 force damage. Vali and Nemeroff are pushed back 3 squares and knocked prone; Harald is pushed back 2 and has to make a save vs. falling prone.

He then spends an action point to use a burst 2 attack on Harald, Nemeroff and Agon. Misses all three, missing Agon mostly due to Blur. The then spends a minor action to recharge the grasping tendrils spell he just cast.

ALL PCS are up! Harald, make your save vs. prone. If you make it, you are obviously not prone.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley's awareness moves out of the zone of grasping tendrils-and into one of the alcoves Gromley spotted. He had read about such places-and knew the power they grant to those who stand in them. Gromley send to his awareness to another postion, while he and his disk stayed behind the doors. Through his awareness, used his power to grasp the enemy mage-and toss him into his friend's midst...

(OOC-Using a double move to get awareness to Black alcove. Spending an action point to use living missile on the foe. If I hit, foe is immobilized(Save ends), if miss-slowed(save ends). I can also slide the foe 11 spaces and make him hit someone else. I don't want to do that, but instead just move him into range of my allies and at the end of the move it will knock him prone.

17:30, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 44 using 1d20+28 with rolls of 16.  Living missle vs Irfelujhar. Vs fort. Hit or miss-foe is moved to new location and prone.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The lich-lord of this place smiles a skeletal smile. ”Very impressive. I would not thought you to be as clever as that. I must adjust my tactics a bit.” He takes a blow from Vali as he allows the tentacled zone to disappear.

He utters a word of power and becomes invisible. He then utters a word of power and, as Agon can tell, teleports to elsewhere in the room.

Vali’s charge goes off as soon as the zone disappears. I regenerates 50 hp. He turns invisible and teleports to current location on the map.

If your character has a Passive Perception of 35 or greater, you can identify I’s current square with no action, but you target him at -5 to hit. If you don’t, you need to make a Perception of DC 35 as a minor action to target him directly, albeit with the -5 Invisibility penalty. Areas of effect can be directed in his area at no penalty as usual.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog smirks. "Come out, come out, wherever you are," he says, following Agon. He then points to the wall in the black alcove and it explodes with fire, blazing....

Move to current location. Use Ignition, hit Fort of 38 (or 42 if 38 misses) for 49 fire damage. The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of your next turn. Any creature that enters the zone or ends its turn there takes fire damage equal to your Constitution modifier (6 hp damage). A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

18:34, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 49 using 2d10+31 with rolls of 9,9.  Damage on I.
18:34, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 42 using 1d20+27 with rolls of 15.  Benny if needed.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Harald moved out past the pillars, his eyes straining to see the devilish beast.

Suddenly, there it was!

“I see it!” he yelled, charging forward, axe swinging.

But this attack was only the beginning!  Hardly had his axe bit but he was propelling Irfelujhar round in a half circle so as to present his back to the onrush of the rest of the party.  And, hopefully, still suffering from Harald’s initial attack.

Gromley sets up a thought guardian to blast the area, but makes sure his friends are clear from the attack.

Using area effect thought guardian total is 37 vs will considering his dazed status, which I am pretty sure is a miss. If its a hit it will do damage and give him a -2 to hit, -6 to hit me.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The servant of Bahamut hisses when he reappears and takes a battery of attacks. ”You are a persistent lot. I see that I will need a different tactic to right the situation. Very well.”

He utters a word of power and teleports. He reappears near Zog. First, he calls forth his plain of tentacles again, which claw and grasp at a number of the party. Then he turns and blasts Zog with a ray of green magic. Necrotic energy rips into Zog, wracking him with debilitating pain.

Gromley misses I. Nemeroff, attacks you make from the blue alcove do +2d6 electrical damage. Vali misses, Harald hits twice by readying for the guy to be visible.

I regenerates 50. He uses a move action to teleport to current location and opens up another area attack. He hits Nemeroff, Harald, Vali and Agon for 26 damage and each of you four is restrained (save ends). The then spends his action point to hit Zog with a power for 33 necrotic damage. Zog is stunned (save ends) and I teleports to current location.

Just to confirm, Nemeroff does not take damage for stepping into Zog’s zone.

ALL PCS are up! Zog, you can remove your zone on your turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley Sets his will against the undead creatures, and forces him to march to his own zone of deadly magic. Also moving him closer to his friends so they can beat on him some more.

OOC-I rolled a crit on my betrayal. Normally I was going to use it to slide him back into his own zone and closer to the others. However, a crit would do max damage and psi damage. Can I have him attack himself? If I do psi damage to him, he will be at -2 to hit until the start of my next turn.

10:48, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 20 using 5d6 with rolls of 6,1,6,5,2.  Crit psi damage?
10:44, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 46 using 1d20+26 with rolls of 20.  Betrayal, 2 psi point. Should be a 48 because foe is dazed. Foe will be dazed until the start of Gromley's next turn.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Having him attack himself is pointless, since he is resistant to his own attacks. Instead, we'll say he takes max damage from the tentacles when you slide him back into his own zone.

Key question: How many squares can you slide him?

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The lich curses in several languages. He utters a word of power and teleports again. He launches a beam of madness with spite at Agon, who is troubling him, but just narrowly misses. His insidious zone of tentacles persists, troubling the party members.

Gromley cries; the lich is immune to being dazed here in his lair, though. Agon hits twice. Harald hits as well. Even with his regeneration, the lich is finally bloodied.

Lich teleports to current location and misses Agon with his stunning ray. He sustains the zone, though, which hits Harald and Agon for 26 force damage and each is restrained (save ends). Nemeroff eludes the tentacles, as does Vali!

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The lich seems, well, worried. He roars and everyone nearby but Nemeroff is thrown back from the blast. As the rich tries to break free from Agon’s magic, he teleports away and then manages to drag himself out from under the magical force pinning him. He has no snappy line this time.

Gromley hits, Zog hits, Agon hits with Oppressive Force but misses with Hand. Nemeroff gives away free attacks. Harald hits a couple of times. Vali hits a lot.

I’s zone fails to hit him this time, so he is not restrained. He attacks with a close burst 3; he misses Nemeroff but hits Nemeroff, Vali and Agon. Vali and Agon are pushed to current locations and are knocked prone; Harald is pushed as well and has to make a save vs falling prone. He then teleports to his current location, still prone. He makes his save vs. the perms-prone.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog walks up and uses his dagger to deliver a blast of electrical energy to the prone lich and keeping his blade handy lest the lich try to blast him again like he did before.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Using his glaive to help give him some leverage, Nemeroff leaped over the area of the spell and onto the statue. "Agon, I am going to send him over to have a face to face chat with Harald." Nemeroff said as he quickly smashed the weapon into the lich, sending it spinning towards the dwarf.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"Damn and Blast!"  Harald cursed as the lich brought him crashing to the ground.  "Ya damn beastie!"

Despite being on the ground, the dwarf still tried to hit the lich with his thrown axe.

“Yippee!  Thanks Nemmie” as the lich was sent sprawling at his feet

The axe went up, the axe came thudding down with awesome force.  Harald leapt to his feet and punched the air with delight.

“Cop yer wack fur that, ma wee mannie.”

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Before Nemeroff forces the lich into retreat, Vali tries to send the lich to its grave, but fails to do so, only hitting once.

Cruel Cage of Steel, which turns into a cruel miss-fest; only one of three attacks hits. It at least is a crit for 56 hp damage with damage bonus from last round.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The lich takes a barrage of blasts and then is yanked back to Harald. As he is struck by Harald, a flash of energy surges from him. Parts of his body start falling off.

"Fools. You have already failed. The ritual is complete. Tiamat's final triumph is imminent. We shall meet again. Prepare..."

At this, he crumbles into a pile of dust.

A subsequent search of the area turns up little more of interest that the party has not found already. Irfelujhar’s personal chambers lack for nothing. A large canopied bed, desks, chairs, couches, and other rich appointments line the walls. They find quite a haul of money--one hundred astral diamonds and a massive chest protected with several warding magics that Agon could probably crack given a day or two.

They also find more copies of the ritual that Irfelujhar has been working on, along with a date entry one thousand years ago when Irfelujhar handed the ritual off to Tiamat.

As the party wraps up their search, a portal of white light appears in thin air, and through it steps the Great and Terrible Bone Witch. However, there is a marked change in her demeanor. Her face is streaked with tears.

"We have failed," she says simply. "Bahamut has been slain by Tiamat. He was reduced to mortal form and then crushed. She has won. For now."

She straightens up. "But there is hope against hope. Return with me to Sigil and meet with the one who sent me, if you would change this fell event somehow."

Zog betrays a rare moment of genuine emotion. He sits on the ground abruptly and stares, slack-jawed for a moment.

"Bahamut slain? How?" he asks in a shallow voice.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The goblin sits. "It was the ritual. Tiamat cast the ritual. Took her a thousand years, it seems. But then at the end, Bahamut was turned into a mortal man. She didn't even kill him herself--she sent a dragon who crushed him."

She sobbed. "He was my friend. Not just a divine being. He was my friend. And now...."

She stands again. "The only good news is that we have good help. Can't say the name here, not in a plane of betrayal. Come on. I swear by my beloved Bahamut that this is not another betrayal."

She then moves back into the portal, waving for you to follow just as she disappears.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Agon sat in shock. Bahamut had been a pillar of his existence for decades, and now the god was dead. He gathered up Irfelujhar's notes and paraphanalia. They might have to kill a god next.

"A cowardly act, and one it seems like we could not have stopped. Let's leave this place and salvage what we can."

"Blast it." Gromley muttered, the harshest language he ever speaks-and even then its not that harsh. He knew very little other options-but this was a situation diplomacy would not fix. He had to see it through to the end, and he floated through the portal on his energy disk.

And, as Harald and Nemeroff dive in afterwards, the group depart. They do not see the pieces of the lich behind them slowly pulling together....

Continued in Chapter 3!
