Agon booked it, running headlessly for the exit and trusting that he could deal with any enemies as they appeared.  The normal stately wizard hiking up his robes made for a humorous sight, for those with death wishes.

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.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

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.

1 uses close blast on Nemeroff and Harald, hitting Nemeroff. Nemeroff is intimidated, save ends. It then hits Harald, taking off 20 of Harald’s temp hp.

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 854):

Gromley's awareness moves forward-and prepares to save anyone who risks falling once more.

(OOC-Gromley's awareness moves to his current location. He readies his standard action to use minor creation-50' foot of rope. If someone falls, the rope will appear tied to a nearby structure, wrapped around them. Minor creation is range 5, so he can save anyone ether group on the map from falling.)

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

The astral stalker by Vali curses in Abyssal and says a word of power. It disappears from sight and Vali can hear it rushing away from the warrior.

The other creature fires a dart out of its throat on Zog, who feels his legs slowing…

Zog takes 18 hp and gains ongoing 5 poison damage + slowed (save ends both) from dart.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Zog drags himself forward and unleashes a blast of lightning from either hand, striking both the visible astral stalker and the remaining blood-red creature...

Spend 2 bennies to re-roll my entire attack, hitting 1 but missing B; spend another Benny to hit B. 1 takes 59 lightning and is vulnerable 3 to my attacks, and B takes 61 lightning and is vulnerable 3 to my attacks.
Two Bennies spent. Made my save vs. slowed and ongoing.

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.

Vali, Harald, Agon & Gromley are up.

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.

Re: Chapter 2: Grasp of the Mantled Citadel

Gromley makes sure to stay on his floating disk. The nice thing about it was he could simulate flight if he wanted to-but it would take all his concentration. He wanted to stay prepared in case anyone fell. However, he could still teleport himself-and proceeded to do so.

(OOC-Using a move action to teleport self and move my awareness. Saving my standard action to save someone with minor creation rope trick.)

Zog frowns. "Now, STOP THAT," he says, annoyed. And, with two quick blasts, he blows himself backward and deals mighty blasts to the dart-spitting astral stalker.
