Re: Delith: The End
In reply to Morteft (msg # 38):
OOC: I'll try to put all this in 1 post, paragraphs will separate individual battles
The troll army crosses the center and into the magic zone, which they don't necessarily notice as they rush forward and probably have no magic. Once about 20' in, about 3 ranks the trap spells go off. Many spells of no more than medium power erupt as if they were several ranks higher, bits of troll go every where. It doesn't significantly reduce their number but has injured dozens. This mainly happened in the middle as the trolls are spread out a couple hundred feet end to end. Your army stops retreating and launches arrows into the trolls and the mages launch Fireballs into the trolls with significant effect. Artharlian and MegaVolt launch their own attacks, a Flame Strike from Art and a searing beam of energy from MV, removing some trolls from the front.
In the air Warwick intercepts Krull for a battle in the air. "Prepare for pain." Krull growls. Krull has a solid hit on Warwick for 19 points of damage. Warwick in turn strikes Krull doing some damage. Warwick can tell that Krull is a very strong opponent.
Morteft casts a spell and a dull green beam leaps from his finger towards the mist of the mage but the spell seems to dissipate when it strikes the mist. The mage looks towards Morteft and casts his spell. Crackling bolts a black energy shoot forth towards Morteft, save vs magic.
Shorty points his big black sword at the mage and then vanishes only to reappear behind the mage. He makes a grab for the mage, blank gauntlet leading to grab the chin of the mage. With the speed of lightning the mist intervenes itself between the two. Shorty's glove enters the mist which seemingly rips it off Shorty's hand and let's it fall to the ground! Shorty is momentarily shocked by these events, as one, the glove that couldn't come off is off and two, he is hit by a surge of electricity - 20 pts.
Aztar opens his portal to release something green behind the 5 tall warrior trolls. There is some frantic movement with the last two trolls in the V and a few moments later all is normal again. What Aztar sees is the green blob hit the intended target, the frantic exchange ends with the target kneeling, touching the ground and then his head and the results is the green blob turning to dark ash. The individual then removes his helmet revealing a troll, probably a teenager in human terms.
As the troll army crossed into the magic side and the trap spells exploded, the noise of this momentarily caught the attention of Joe. He stood up holding a nice size chunk of rock, roughly a 1 foot diameter ball. "Hey here is a nice piece." He looks up to see the trolls closing in on him. The next sequence of events Aztar has seen before. Joe starts to yell at the trolls as he does so a faint green glow emanates around him. He puts out his hand as if to say stop; which would have been a wise move for the trolls.
From his hands and eyes green flares of energy spring out in a cone like pattern. These strike the trolls ranks. The first row of trolls, in a 20 foot width, almost evaporates, the lucky ones. The flares continue on and widen striking the next three ranks of trolls. The trolls are left in various states, burned to a crisp, literally falling apart, stumps of limbs, smoldering and all still alive seem blind. Twelve trolls in all die with 15 more left incapacitated. The troll surge on that side comes to a halt, too stunned to move. The troll king saw this out of the corner of his eye and causes his Fireball to go wide, doing minimal damage. "By all the Nine Hells."
