"At once!" the gnome calls. He strides up to the construct, unimpressed. His sword flashes and a thicket of nigh-invisible spears spring up around the construct, threatening it with really brutal scratches if it moves. Though it has little reason to.

"I say!" says Khalid, dodging a swipe from the thing. "There seems to be a link between this creature and its master. It appears to be capable of shielding him, if it's close enough. I humbly suggest we keep them apart!"

"Now, a more personal touch. Ambar." Jhaartael tapped into the heights of the heavens with a high pitched whine on his instrument, healing Nezumi and causing her to surge with strength beyond health. He shifted the tone to the entropy of the cosmos, playing a low song which caused fine, black tendrils to emerge from the air and attempt to bind the large construct. Unfortunately, he seemed to be off his aim a bit with the latter. "Perhaps the shadow is playing favorites again. I shall have to practice that one in the future."

Move: To L10
Minor: Revitalizing Surge on Nezumi (Nezumi spends a healing surge, and also gains THP equal to their healing surge value)

As the stone hits Paldemar Grock feels his mind grow fuzzy for a second.
It is as if Paldemar tries to sway the mind of him, but manages not to do so. The willforce of the half orc is too immense. With a swing the staff tries to strike but fails to connect with the him, and in the last glimmer of a moment, a ray of energy hits Grock with force behind.

The Warder senses the danger and attempts to get to it's master by any means.
Charging ahead wildly, it passes Khalid with complete disregard for him(provokes AoO from Khalid!), and ends in a center between three opponents!
With a full on rampage the construct swings wide in a sickening arc at all of them, as it halts its charge forward!
It doesn't quite get there but rest assured they both have plenty up their sleeves yet!

Nezumi takes damage - Only autohits with Magic missile for 14 damage. Triggers reaction.
Grock and Khalid take 17(G) and 20 damage(K) from rampage - and ongoing 5 damage (save ends).

PLAYERS TURN!

Jhaartael's song helps find a reserve of energy as Nezumi prepares to strike out at Paldemar with all of her power. The violet missiles of her target answered with emerald force of her own. Icy white energy begins to gather about her blade as she makes her preparatory strike.

Non: spend surge regaining an effective 28 HP (14 real healing + 14 THP which were consumed by magic missiles)
Reaction: 9 Radiant to Paldemar
Standard: Unraveling Strike 28 vs AC hits for 17 untyped damage and Vuln 3 Ice until EoNezumiTurn

As she pulls her blade from the man's flesh the energy surrounding it only further intensifies.

</quote>

Khalid is unable to wound the warder as it runs into the midst of the adventurers, but the spears of force gouge it deeply. As the construct's weapon strikes him, he lets the mists of the Feywild engulf him and he slips from view.

Unseen, he moves across the room, whispering a spell that staunches bleeding and dulls pain. Then, his weapon edged in a keen sky-fire, he strikes at the warder. The spell doesn't manage to have a damaging effect, but there's a semse that it has carried the gnome on its wind to another part of the room.

Suddenly Paldemar sees a lightning blade rise up to strike him. Like a coward, spits a spell that causes the blade to waver, as if the wielder is blind. The blade strikes without effect.

As he comes back into view, Khalid can be seen looking around for the spellcaster, and gesticulating to form his own spell. "Face me, dark one!" he says, as the spell washes out over Paldemar, binding him to Khalid.

Sniping down the construct would take too long at the rate they were doing it and with Paldemar harrying them from the far door. Rynoth didn't have any other options at the moment, but as he moved to another position from where he had some benefit of cover from the pillars, he started gauging his opportunities to get to the other half of the room.


Move: Walk to I4. Rynoth retains concealment.

Grock and Jhartael are up!

Jhaartael assessed the situation, and realized it was time for the climax. Sadly, there would likely be a lengthy denouement following it, but such was the way of his performances.

"Bleeding out is no excuse to rest yet. Majestui!" A quick step back, a wonderful song of hope and guile against the odds, and another note, strangely seductive, aimed at the Warder once more after that one. "And you - follow that music back to where you came from. Horne!"

The warder started shuffling its feet, and strangely seemed to be preparing some strange unearthly walking dance all the way back to the chamber it came from.

Move: Shift to L11.
Minor: Majestic Word on Grock (he can spend a Healing Surge and regain 7 extra HP on top of that for a total of 20 HP healing), slide Grock to J9
Standard: 07:37, Today: Jhaartael rolled 20 using 1d20+9.  Compulsion vs Bronzie.
07:40, Today: Jhaartael rolled 19 using 2d8+6.  Psychic Damage from Compulsion. Actual damage dealt is 14.

At the start of the Bronze Warder's turn, I want it to slide it six squares (5 from the power and one more from my Battle Song feat) as far back into the room it started from as I can arrange - as far back as M5-N4 as far as I can tell. It will not be able to take a Move Action until it passes a Saving Throw.

This time, I took the liberty of healing Grock. This is technically an overstepping of my bounds, but I do not believe he will argue.

DM is up!

Paldemar snarled; sensing the danger of the foes advancing.
He raised his hand and his tilted face bit at them as the earth beneath them began to crackle again!
Both feel a surge of energy go through them and snarl in agony!
With a whisk of a hand, a forceful bolt of energy hit Nezumi again bringing her to the gates of death, but still holding on.

Nezumi and Khalid are hit - take 23 lightning damage.(Nezumi resist 5)
Minor action to use magic missile - automatic hit for 14 damage.

Warder is unable to move, did not make ST!

Grock saw the construct get pulled back into the room and was unable to move for the moment. They needed to isolate it and hang up on the wizard. Grock was the only one strong enough to do it. The half Orc ran to the room and shut the doors. He then used the pieces of chain dangling from his manacles to wrap through the handles using his bare strength to keep the doors closed. “I’ve got this. Take out the wizard!”

Players except Grock are up!

With Grock holding the door, Rynoth crossed to the middle of the room and began to barrage Paldemar from a distance. The dark mage's wards and the door frame conspired to keep him from harm, and with two of their number now faltering, Rynoth found himself reconsidering their strategy.


Move: Walk to J10. This does not appear to be on the mosaic. If it is, he'll take a different spot to avoid it. Rynoth maintains concealment.
Minor: Curse vs Paldemar.
Std: Eldritch Blast vs Paldemar misses.

06:44, Today: Rynoth rolled 17 using 1d20+11.

Jhaartael allowed a faint smile to play across his face as things were exceeding his expectations. "Well, the backup dancer is in their place, and now it is time for the final dance to play out. My performances aren't usually this intense, but here we are. Majestui! Just a little more from you before you fade, and... Echuir din! Time for you to perform as well, Wizard. Yours might be the most demanding role of all."

Move: To I14
Minor: Majestic Word to Nezumi, slide her to M13.
23:04, Today: Jhaartael rolled 6 using 1d6+3.  Bonus healing from Majestic Word. Took the liberty of healing the 20 HP in advance.
Standard: 22:51, Today: Jhaartael rolled 24 using 1d20+9.  Stirring Shout vs Will at Paldamar. That actually hit? I did not expect that.
22:54, Today: Jhaartael rolled 13 using 2d6+6.  Psychic Damage from Stirring Shout.

Until the encounter is over, whether that had hit or missed, anyone who slaps Paldamar heals 3 HP for their trouble. He has entered Pinata Mode. Go get the candy.

At the beginning of its turn, I will continue to have the construct move back to the wall, away from as many players as it can reach with a six square slide, and again, it cannot move on its turn until it passes that save.

The effort of conducting the wizard's lightning into the floor took a lot out of Khalid, but it kept him alive. "Hide from this," he says through gritted teeth, and unleashes a wave of flame across Paldemar's general location, undoubtedly scorching him. Then Khalid backs up, chanting counterspells to try to free his perception from Paldemar's grasp.

Players Nezumi is up!
This message was last edited by the player at 04:22, Mon 21 Nov 2022.

Nezumi's cry in response to the pain of the vile caster's attack is charged with the wrath of the elements and takes a toll on his mind even as the whitish blue energy surrounding Nezumi's blade and staff reaches the pure white sheen of elemental ice. She swings the glowing blade through her foe with force towards the same spot she hit previously as a small blizzard surrounds her. As the villain is reeling from the blow Nezumi and her blizzard move behind him.

Non: White Lotus Riposte deals 4 untyped damage (forgot I had this feat.)
Reaction: 9 Psychic and target grants CA until EoNezumiTurn (Elemental Roar Encounter)
Standard: Elemental Wrath Encounter (1/2) 25 vs Reflex Hit for 22 Ice damage (25 after Vuln 3 from Unraveling)

The warder pounced on the door with furious power. Nothing. Grocks might and ability proved too much for the foe and it had to remain for time being!

Paldemar sensed the danger; as Nezumi's attack struck him, he snarled, and before her, vanished from sight. Invisible to her and Khalid, Paldemar moved, obvious to Jhaartel, south and used the corner to his advantage.
From here he unleashed a thunderous bolt of energy! Jhartel notices quickly that it routes for him, as the surge of energy engulfs him. The bolt jumps towards Khalid and Nezumi, but fizzles before succeeding.

Puck the minds eye vs Nezumi - hits. Invisible to her, Save ends.
Both lightning bolt and shock sphere on recharge(no 5/6 rolled!).
Jhaartel hit for 23 lightning damage. Two additional bolts flow out, both miss.

Players turn!

Grock felt the strength of the construct as it attempted to open the door. His muscles bulged as he fought to keep the enormous creature trapped within the room long enough for the others to finish off Paldemar. He kept an eye on the wizard and got his second wind to brace himself against any attack the wizard made to attempt to free the golden Minotaur.

OOC: Second wind

Players except for Grock and Khalid turn!

Jhaartael takes a deep breath as the lightning runs its course on him. "You never really get used to that." He decides to take a risk, and he calls to Khalid. "Edraith! Flee from the peace that is a lie. Im brui!

That second phrasing is aimed at Paldamar himself, but the blast from Jhaartael's strumming and words fails to find purchase on the wizard. Jhaartael is very calm suddenly as the magus leaves his ability to see them. "Know that I do not fear the grave. Finish him off, and make an ending worthy of a dream."

Move: Moment of Escape, slide Khalid to L15 or
Minor: None available that I know of.
Standard: 05:20, Today: Jhaartael rolled 21 using 1d20+9.  Staggering Note vs Paldamar, at Fortitude. One shy of what I needed. My luck was ending sooner or later.

Player Ryloth remaining!

When did the Twi'lek homeworld get involved in this, as a player character no less!?


With everyone else distracted or ensorcelled just as Paldemar seemed vulnerable, Rynoth chose opportunism over prudence, closed the distance, and unleashed an element-infused blast from point-blank range.


Minor: Curse vs Paldemar.
Move: Walk to K15. Rynoth retains Concealment

Since Jhartael probably got the interrupt due to attacking first...
Std: Eldritch Blast (2 charges) vs Paldemar hits for 26 damage.

The Warder roared as it tried to push Grock out of the way, to get to it's master as quickly as it could. However the door remained shut and stuck for the time being.

Paldemar snarled at his position.
Trying to get out of trouble, he extended two rays of cold at those before him - to give him space and air for next moves!
The cold hit the both of them with great effect!
In a stand of defiance, he sent a bolt of forceful energy at Jhaartel. The blow was hard and serve to remind that he was still fighting to the  bitter end.

Damage:
Double recharge fails!
Khalid hit, barely for 23 cold damage
AP attack vs Rynoth. CRIT! 27 cold damage!
Autohit missile vs Jhaartel for 14 damage.

Grock watches on with grim determination as many of his allies are blasted by the lich. He knew he had to hold the Warder at bay or all would be lost. It was up to them to defeat the undead wizard.

OOC: Keep the doors closed

PLAYERS TURN EXCEPT GROCK!

Nezumi moves to corner her prey using their incantations and her allies attacks to track them before making a viciously arcing strike as the arctic energy once more begins to coalesce. The emerald energy surrounding her crackling menacingly warning of the retribution coming to her prey for daring to attempt to flee.

Move: N14>K14>J15>K16
Standard: Unraveling Strike Crit Hit (28 vs AC) for 32(20 max + 7 High Crit + 5 Cold from ENH), Vuln 3 Cold until EoNT, 4 extra damage if attacks Nezumi before SoNT
EoT: Failed save

PLAYERS TURN EXCEPT GROCK AND NEZUMI!

Paldemar's defenses weren't perfect, but they were still frustratingly effective. Nezumi managed to break through but Rynoth's blade just couldn't find purchase.

He pulled back a few steps to give someone else an opening. Close-quarters combat really wasn't his strength anyway, and Paldemar was still quite thoroughly cornered.


Std: Eldritch Strike vs Paldemar misses.
Move: Shift to J14. Rynoth loses concealment.
Minor: None.

22:13, Today: Secret Roll: Rynoth rolled 16,18 using d20+13,d4+6+2d6.
