utterly shocked by the massive undead bursting through the wall, Fin jumps into action and trying to avoid the beast, he tries to circle the room to get back towards the door without getting within rang of "Nadred".


OOC: how high is this chamber??

Ooc: about 15 feet :)

Raknesh didn't need Prizzard's warning to know this thing was bad news.
"Stefan, try to stay away from this one, I will attack it from a safe distance!" he yells, before launching a deadly volley at the monstrosity.

ATT 1 = 25  DMG 25 (holy 6, fire 5, weapon 14)

ATT 3 = 33  DMG 23 (holy 5, fire 3, weapon 15)
ATT 4 = 30  DMG 25 (holy 6, fire 2, weapon 17)

Inside: In spite of Prizzard's near slips he does do a great deal of damage to the thing, as does Tanzy and even Loden and Jett do a fair job on their end. Raina keeps a close eye on things but being the daughter of death himself, has determined she had best help the necromancer end this all the sooner. Meanwhile the creature is still going strong in spite of his wounds. As you fight you discover that it is intensely cold around the thing and you can feel the heat slowly draining from your bodies...In the meantime Nadred has started shedding large skin folds off of his body which are are starting to move on their own! Some would recognize these as forsaken shells, the animated skins of the dead. So far only two have dropped but that is enough to give you cause for concern as it will be difficult to fight so many things at once. At the moment they seem to be concentrated on Fin and Loden but his skin crawls in perhaps another attempt to shed more.

ooc: Make a fort save of DC 16. Failure means 6 damage per round of heat drain, success means only 3 damage per round of heat drain. In 3 rounds we will re roll the fort save. Also, for time's sake please make an opposed grapple check Fin along with your attack in the next round.

Raknesh/Stefan: As you try to evade the angel of decay you find that to your dismay it is the faster of you. Though Raknesh's attacks do it quite a bit of harm it is by no means done with you and as it nears it reaches out to attack...Meanwhile he is not the only flying monstrosity coming your way. You can dimly see the shapes of two other forms leaving the ground but at the moment you are so distracted with your current foe it will take a second look to see just what you are about to deal with.

ooc: He's caught up to you now and so you have the chance for another attack before he does his thing...

A quick slice crackles before he spins into an upward stroke that catches deep behind its ribs before being forcefully pulled out, dealing massive damage to the structure. He waits just a moment to tell if the animation fails, striking quickly again if it doesn't

Through Rocky, Raknesh asks Prizzard if he knows any weaknesses from that fiend he warned them about... because there is now three of them...

Until then, he continues to fire his psionic arrows, hoping to at least kill the first one.

Stefan saw the approach of the horror,  and immediately sibilant draconic syllables fell from his lips bespeaking the storm to crash down on his enemies, and as the final syllable left his lips he once more powered forward, trying to keep distance between him and the thing as the first bolt of lightning crashed down on whatever it was.  Stefans reptillian eyes widened and dialated in shock as the lightning seemed to warp around the monstrosity, the creatures very aura pushing his spell away.  "Dear Gods..."  He whispered in horror, audible only to the man he was carrying.

ooc: There's a lot going on here and I've been at this since 5:40a.m. so if I forgot something please forgive me.

Prizzard/Tanzy/Fin: In spite of the massive damage that Prizzard deals the thing, it is still going strong and though it is clearly wounded, it is not nearly as damaged as it should be. The girl looks up from her studies, almost amused. Oh, I forgot to mention, I built Nadred to be...sturdier than most. Sorry about that. In the meantime the creature sees Prizzard as the biggest threat (in spite of Loden and Jett's attacks on it) and with massive claws it slashes at him successfully, the claws burning and stinging as they make contact. You feel they are poison to your very bones and you fight against a great feeling of weakness as you recover from the wounds. At this point there is a spreading puddle of filth emanating from Nadred and it has spread to much of the room, making it difficult to avoid. While this is happening, Fin is being attacked by the forsaken shell skin creature, which has tried to wrap itself around the poor man. Fortunately Fin is able to maneuver out of it's grip but it is clear that the thing is not done with the halfling. During all this Rocky transmits Raknesh's question about the angel of decay to Prizzard. Hearing this, Raina goes to the window to check on things, worry in her eyes.

ooc: If you are engaged with the creature, please roll a reflex save DC24 or take 17 damage from rotting aura. If you succeed you can half the damage (I'll be nice and say only 8). Also, keep in mind your 3-6 points of heat drain damage per round so keep track of that too please.

Stefan/Raknesh:

In spite of both your efforts, the rotting thing is still in action, though obviously hurting. It slams at you with alarming power and speed, claws raking at Stefan and wings slamming at Raknesh, trying to knock him off. It is difficult not to panic as the thing is incredibly aggressive...As this all happens you are vaguely aware of Raina shouting out to you from the tower though you can't make out what.

ooc: Raknesh, make a balance check DC 12 to keep from falling off...

18:28, Today: Raknesh Kaltash rolled 20 using 1d20+5. balance.
Raknesh's long training allowed him to keep his hold on Stephan's scaly arms.

Noticing Raina's attempt, but with the wings' noise unable to hear it, he simply relayed the words through Rocky.

(waiting from Rocky before posting the rest)

Thrown terribly off-balance by the slam and seeming to feel weak for the moment, he about ignores the puddle and barely attacks the creature.

rolled 5,1,5 using 1d6,1d6,1d6. Crystal bonus Damage (3, 1, 2).

Stefan roared in pain at the things raking touch and as he felt Raknesh keep himself from falling he spoke to his friend.  "You fight, I fly."  With those words Stefan dipped for a moment and then there was an audbile crack as the red dragon shot forward, even faster then the last time, trying to get a lead on the undead beastie.

double move for a total of 300 feet

Keeping his eye on the shell, Fin takes a 5 ft. step back and launches his sword at it.

Raknesh/Stefan: As Stefan puts distance between you, Raknesh gets a message from Raina via Rocky. I said hold on and get out of the way! she repeats. You see her lean far out of the window and suddenly hurl a violet colored blast of energy at the creature following you. It hits him squarely and it shrieks in agony as the power wraps itself around him and slams him down violently into the ground. You barely have time to celebrate though as you can see two more coming your way. Fortunately Stefan has put enough space between you for the moment that you have the chance to plan a bit better. You can do a ranged attack if you wish as you have another round or so before they get to you. You can also continue to evade.

Everyone else: As the fight battles on you see Raina lean out the window and hurl an enormous violet blast of energy even as she calls back, Everyone alright in here? her voice is stressed. The necromancer looks up with a frown and gestures to the man who had been helping her. Go see what you can do about Nadred will you? He nervously draws a black blade and joins the fray. Fin manages to strike his opponent both times with his attacks and it roils in pain but looks angry as it moves to attack, slapping at you with its skin but barely missing. Loden is doing well with his enemy and Jett decides to join you in attacking yours. So it's Loden vs Forsaken shell, Fin and Jett vs forsaken shell and Tanzy/Prizzard/fake necromancer guy on Nadred.

Unfortunately Prizzard's attacks miss but luckily so does Nadred's, who once more reaches out to the biggest threat. By now his filth is spreading and you can feel the cold trying to draw the heat out of you again...

ooc: Once again make a reflex save on rotting aura and a fort save on heat drain then post your next round please. Tanzy, since you didn't post for this round yet please just do two rounds this time to catch up. When we're all on the same page we'll start accelerating things a bit :)

"Well that was impressive..." comments Raknesh

"I believe it would be best to play for time" he adds to Stefan.
"Do your best to evade them, I will try to hit them... with some luck..."
He had never projected his psychic arrows so far, but simply fleeing might not be enough...

As Stephan increases his speed, he launches a voley, but some go astray.
WITHOUT RANGE PENALTY:
ATT1 36 DMG 26 (15, fire 1, holy 10)

ATT3 26 DMG 28 (17, fire 3, holy 8)
ATT4 22 DMG 25 (14, fire 1, holy 12)

Between the auras, being the center of attention for the massive thing, and missing his own attacks, Prizzard suddenly decides to take a defensive posture, which proves to be successful.

Fin, is feeling more confident than the young halfling should. He decides to face the shell head on instead of his usual ranged attack and swings wildly at the creature. In the heat of battle it's hard for him to tell at first if the 1st attack connects, but he obviously misses his mark with the 2nd. "Why can't these things just stay dead. Don't people know the natural order of things?" He shouts just before mumbling "Damn wiggle-fingers"

ooc: Stefan, go ahead and post two rounds to catch up when you are ready :D

Raknesh: You narrowly miss them with your attacks, though one of them does hit squarely, much to your satisfaction. They will be upon you any moment now and two of them against you is rather worrisome. I fear to go after them so close to you. Bring them to the tower if you can! Raina communicates through Rocky.

ooc: This next round they will be close so act accordingly. Raknesh, feel free to make a balance check in advance in case they are able to slam you off...

Fin: You hit the thing with your attack and it recoils in pain. Jett grazes it with his blade but frustratingly it is not a true blow. Suddenly the thing leaps at you though, attacking with ferocity as it apparently sees you as the most threat. You feel it try to constrict around you again...ooc: Please make an opposed grapple check

Tanzy/Prizzard: Between the two of you Nadred is finally starting to look on the poor side, though he is by no means stopping. He lashes out at Tanzy this time with alarmingly long claws that rake her across the side. You feel your very bones protest at the poison of his touch. Fortunately his second attack misses.
ooc; Next round please, don't forget to make the usual saves

Stefan slowed as he lined up his head to ensure that when he belched forth another cone of fire, Raknesh was safe to continue his fight.

He keeps his focus on footing for avoiding more attacks rather than the corruption in the area and it continues washing over his legs as he dives in for a defensive assault, exhausing his belt and spare spell charges.

As the "creature" tries to entangle itself around him, Fin is forced to try and fend it off. "hit it... not me" he yells as he continues his struggle against the thing. His only thought is freeing himself from it's grasp and putting as much distance as he can between it and him.

Tanzy let out a curse as the thing turned and slashed her in the side. She felt the poison seep into her and felt instantly drained. After attacking she muttered a soft word and began to blink in and out of sight.

Raknesh could have sworn he felt some of his hair burn as the dragon breathed his deadly fire on the two undead monstrosities.

Still, he holds on and launches another deadly volley.

ATT 1: 33 DMG 24 (mind arrow 13, fire 6, holy 5)
ATT 2: 21 DMG 32 (mind arrow 17, fire 6, holy 9)
ATT 3: 26 DMG 17 (mind arrow 10, fire 4, holy 3)
ATT 4: 31 DMG 27 (mind arrow 19, fire 3, holy 5)

Stefan/Raknesh: As you attack you both are able to hit your opponents, though by now they have neared you and are ready to retaliate. One goes for Stefan and the other for Raknesh, who fortunately keeps his balance. They slash at you both with their claws even as they slam their wings into you. You feel an almost weakening sensation for just a moment as they make contact but soon the feeling dissipates. Raina is watching out the window still, shouting through Rocky at Raknesh for you to come closer so she can help.  ooc: Please also keep me up to date on your current hit points, thanks!

Fin: Struggle as you might, the thing slides its body around you, constricting and squeezing. You are vaguely aware of Loden fighting his enemy in the background and doing decently. Jett carefully attacks the shell, taking care not to harm you. He hits it squarely twice and it recoils in pain, though it hasn't loosened its hold yet...

Tanzy/Prizzard: Between the three of you (the false necromancer included), Nadred is not looking so good, which you are immensely grateful for. He attacks Tanzy again but due to her sudden blinking ability he misses, though just barely. His second attack hits the bald man who recoils in pain, looking suddenly weaker. Meanwhile, as all of this happens a handsome young man appears as if out of nowhere! With a yell of rage he runs at Nadred and seemingly disappears as if passing through him but not returning out the other side. The creature gives a shudder of pain and more blood starts to drip from his orifices...Tanzy, you recognize the man as your ghost. By now Nadred is on his last legs...

ooc: Another round please! Don't forget your saves.
