Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog winds up and blasts at the two chair-things again, but misses both of them as they dodge with speed surprising for such large objects. He curses under his breath.

Elemental Bolt + Elemental Escalation, probably miss both, use Refined Recall so that I don't use an instance of Elemental Escalation because I miss all targets.

10:17, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 36,29 using 1d20+27,1d20+27 with rolls of 9,2.  Elemental Bolt w/Elem Esc on A,B.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

"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.

20:07, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 35 using 1d20+33 with rolls of 2.  MBA vs A with dwarven Throwers.
20:07, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 40 using 1d20+33 with rolls of 7.  bennie reroll.

20:08, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 27 using 2d10+14 with rolls of 5,8.  damage.
20:08, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17.  save vs restrained.

Nemeroff smiled as the foes were still near him, with a whisper, the warlord tuned into a boiling pool of acid and shifted around, trying to touch each of the foes in the process. Returning to where he had started, his glave slashed out at the storm cloud but he was not able to hit it.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley, A died from Harald's attack. Who do you want to target with Betrayal instead?

GTBW, I am going to redirect your attacks to B.

Zog, you did actually hit a creature, which we will say is B. Roll damage.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

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

Zog curses under his breath and moves so that the stinking mural can't hit him and Harald together again. He raises his arms and blasts the cyclone-thing and the mosaic with lightning, all while rubbing the acid off furiously with a soon-to-be-ruined bit of cloak...

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.

Zog, both are still standing after those attacks. You and GTBW are yo/1
