The four chocobos continue to make all sorts of ruckus as they splash away. The two that fell stand back up and attempt to slow down in order to make better progress. Both of the chocobos in the distance finally slip and fall. It looks as if one has found a deep hole, as its ass is pointed upward with head nowhere to be seen--like a duck on a pond.
The chocobos will continue to do this for several rounds until they are scattered in different directions.

MILO continues to head west, also slowing down a bit in order to make safer progress. The normally fearless and ferocious canine continues to whine and run like a small puppy with its tail caught in a mousetrap.
Like Gurlop, finding him, or him finding you, should not be difficult.

The party has come across spots where the water suddenly gets very deep, as if there was a 3'-6' wide hole. Such a situation is a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid falling prone (and underwater) and is impossible to spot due to the opaque water.

JAGA drops the power staff and grips ZEIG's in both hands as he takes a step to the northeast. He gives it his best shot at hitting one out of the park, but the weapon passes through the apparition #1 to no effect.

DAI drops the magical shortsword, before stepping South 5ft, and firing off a magically guided ray of fire at the first apparition. "Careful! That one isn't a Wraith...not sure what it is though."

00:52, Today: DAI rolled 2 using 1d4. Dazzle duration(R20 negates), x2 penalty.
00:51, Today: DAI rolled 46 using 5d12+16. Damage(-2 CL negative levels, +2 day).

00:50, Today: DAI rolled 37 using 1d20+24. Fire II(RTA)(PBS) vs #1.
MP 33/58

DAI takes a step back and coats the apparition in fire. It makes no noise as it flails around and dissipates into nothingness.

Sili concentrates on Virelai and takes a 5 ft. step down, doing nothing else.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:06, Thu 21 June 2012.

Immediately after SILI steps away, the ghost follows suit and swings its mishapen hand at his chest.
20:51, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+5. #2 vs. SILI.
20:52, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d4. #2 damage.
20:53, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 22 using 1d20+4. Fortitude vs. Con drain.
It passes through and feels as if it's pulling on something inside of him, but it can't quite manage to quite wrest it out of SILI's body.

Garus does another ineffectual swing at the ghost shoring us his defenses as he shifts into the square that Dia Dai dropped the magic shortsword dropping his trident and picking up the shortsword, "Stay close I'll cover you from this thing."

Zeig takes a step to the southeast and unleashes another wave of positive energy at the target, this time pouring additional energy into the attack, his eyes glowing a bright blue.
Harm - Divine Seal, CL 7, DC 17 Will
01:07, Today: ZEIG rolled 7 using 1d8+5. Harm - Divine Seal (+ 25% after roll).
MP: 56/67
I think the Divine Seal modifier comes into play before weakness, so 8 damage before weakness if it has any.

More pieces of the apparition dissipate into darkness, then emptiness.

DAI 5ft steps up and right to stand behind(right of) Garus, and taps into his wand's magic once more.

After moving 5 ft. down-right, Sili begins his song again.

00:02, Today: SILI rolled 31 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 18. Perform (Vocal) (Virelai on Wraith 2).

31/3=10, 10th caster level, 5th level song, DC 18 Will Save or

DC 15: Target will no longer willingly harm anyone the Bard considers an ally.
DC 30: Target will attack enemies of the Bard.

Does Dai count as my enemy?

The wraith seems to ignore SILI's song before it lurches forward at him again.
20:12, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d6. Con drain.
20:12, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 13 using 1d20+4. Fortitude vs. Con drain.
20:11, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4. damage.
20:11, Today: teslas rolled 18 using 1d20+5. #2 attack vs. SILI.
This time, he does feel the wraith pull out a chunk of something intangible but vital.

"Sili get right behind me." Garus yells as he steps south west so he is next to Sili the ghost and Zieg. Taking a moderatly defensive swing at the ghost. Keeping his body between the ghost and his allies.

OOC: Shifting one square the the southwest. Making a full attack with full combat expertise at the ghost. Ready to cover anyone who is attacked adjacent to me.

17:42, Today: Garus rolled 1 using 1d100. Miss chance 2nd attack.

Both of Garus' attacks miss, though the apparition does take note and backs away slightly.

Round 5
18: ZEIG

Be aware that Garus has moved 5' SW.

Zeig moves 5' to the east and begins casting a spell on Sili.
Restore - Full round spell
MP: 53/67

ZEIG's spell doesn't feel like it does much of anything for SILI, apart from reduce the fatigue in his thighs from riding for the previous four hours.

Jaga, his last few attacks being as useful as they were, decides to take a small break from all the damage he's been doing.

Aid another to help Garus after moving around the ghost into a flanking position.

07:45, Today: JAGA rolled 19 using 1d20+11. aid another vs AC 10.
This message was last edited by the player at 11:50, Thu 28 June 2012.

That works. JAGA is now to the direct west of #2.

Garus gains +2 on his next attack roll against #2, barring obvious things that would mess that up.

11: DAI

DAI seeing JAGA and Garus flanking the beast almost considers letting them handle it, but he had already used his wand and he was not one to be wasteful- so he stepped a bit to line up his shot, and decided to let another blast of fire try and burn the thing to...re-death, or something.

5ft step up-left
05:28, Today: DAI rolled 3 using 1d4. Dazzle duration, doubled penalties, R20.
05:27, Today: DAI rolled 46 using 5d12+18. Damage(PBS)(Firesday*2).
05:27, Today: DAI rolled 59 using 1d100. 1-50 miss.
05:27, Today: DAI rolled 32 using 1d20+26. Fire II(RTA)(PBS)(Lock) vs 2.
05:28, Today: DAI rolled 3 using 1d4. Woot.
05:28, Today: DAI rolled 12 using 1d20. 10-12 conserve MP.
And thanks to Manafont and that it only cost me 1 MP(manafont made it 4, this made it 1)
MP 32/58

The second apparition burns out like a loose grouping of thin, dry paper floating in the air.

The rain continues to pour. Straining, you think you can still hear the four chocobos and MILO splashing away in the distance. Gurlop is nowhere to be seen.

SILI, calming down after the quick exchange, feels as if he's some kind of combination of malnourished, cold, and frail. Potentially, DAI may feel even worse as his focus from performing manafont wanes.

Everyone gains 480 EXP for overcoming the encounter.

Bonus EXP will be determined and reported when I'm not scrambling to try and get ready for a day of conference calls that starts in one hour.

DAI heaves a heavy sigh, before looking at Garus and Sili. "So then...you two happen to know how to call your pets back?" DAI wasn't feeling too good, but figured he could handle another batch of chocobos easily enough, and he still had some tents he could use.

"Those undead are very dangerous. Both of you have been weakened. I have a potion that should fix you up, but only one of you. You should take it Sili, I think I can help out Dai later."

Zeig hands Sili his potion of Restore II.

Dai gets a saving throw to regain his levels everyday which I can enhance via Bless. Sili won't get another chance to recover from energy drain without magic assistance, so I'm handing him the potion.

You don't need to roll anything, it just works.
