In reply to EpicOne (msg # 796):

Gromley sends his projected consciousness forward, and then sets up an transportation aura around it. With that he transports it, Nemeoff, and Harold forward outside the psi trap they had found themselves in, so now they could have a view of their enemy as he feld.

(OOC-Moving projected awareness, and using this power.

Song of Transition-Burst 1. Minor action. Effect-User and allies within
Burst Radius can teleport 10 spaces as a move action until.
Minor action-effect is sustained.

Teleporting the three of us forward out of the trap and down the hall.)

Several of the party now can see the room where the half-elf teleported to. This room is filled with walkways. These walkways are composed entirely of bone magically fused together. Waist high balustrades crafted from thigh bones run along the walkways.

Updated map: https://docs.google.com/drawin...Q50-wFOAK6P78Lk/edit

Agon, Vali, Harald and Nemeroff are up! Nemeroff and Harald, I gave you back 15 hp each as neither of you you started your turn in the zone.

"Aaaargh!"

Head down and axe up, Harald charged into the half elf, knocking him away to the left and skipping nimbly into the enemy's original position.  With nary a break for a breath, the fighter hit again but this time with the flat of the axe.  The half elf spun along the walkway and collapsed to the ground.

Harald gestured forward with his axe and called back to the others.

"Next!"


21:21, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 44 using 1d20+31 with rolls of 13.  Minotaur Charge vs half elf.
21:21, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 31 using 3d10+14 with rolls of 4,6,7.  damage vs half elf.
21:22, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 47 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 18.  Secondary attack vs Fort .

With no immediate reinforcements coming, from any direction, Vali strolls down the passage after the rest of them. Reaching the cavern, he stand there on the edge, trying to make sense of it.

Double move.

Nobody was looking. Ago hitched up his robes and hotfooted it through the magical zone their enemy had left behind. "Hey, magic missile!" He said, pinging their enemy.

[Move] Run to location. Grant CA UEoMNT
[Standard] Magic Missile vs T. 17 Force Damage

Nemeroff charged after the foe only to see them cut down by Harald and Agon. With that one dispatched, he looked around to see if there was any response to the alarm that was raised.

Harald sends the man sprawling and then Agon knocks him unconscious. As Nemeroff moves in, though, something stirs in the darkness. Nemeroff and Harald hear something moving—but see nothing at first. Then, out of nowhere, two black, clawed figures appear, firing darts out of their maws at Nemeroff and Harald. The dart targeting Harald bounces off the warrior’s armor, but the one targeting Nemeroff hits his flesh, scratching him and making his limbs feel like lead!

The two previously-invisible creatures on the map appear and attack at range; B hits Nemeroff for 9 poison damage, along with giving Nemeroff 5 ongoing poison damage and making him Slowed (save ends both).

Zog and Gromley are up! Harald is still bloodied. Even if it’s not your turn, you can make an Arcana check to identify the new enemies.

Gromley's awareness vanishes once more, taking Agon with it. Once it can see Harald, Gromley's power flows into him, healing him.

OOC-Using teleport field to move awareness and Agon to current position. Then using this on Harald

Revitalizing Incantation
You whisper a few phrases in a secret language, urging your ally’s body to
mend itself.
Encounter        Arcane, Healing
Minor Action      Ranged 5
Target: You or one ally
Effect: The target can spend a healing surge. Additionally, the target gains
temporary hit points equal to his or her healing surge value.

Then using minor action to maintain teleport field.

Also, Gromley can sense Abberations within 5 spaces of him and his awareness no matter how they are hidden, due to his Topaz Crusader powers.

Harald goes to 85 hp + 42 temp HP

Zog utters something under his breath. Suddenly, the winds swirl around him madly and carry him forward. He hovers over the walkway, eyeing both enemies, and then unleashes a blast of lightning at both of them. He seems to almost be a being of cloud at the moment, making a loud hissing-popping noise at them.

Minor--Wind Shape, I become insubstantial and gain a fly speed of 6 w/hover.
Move to current location, 5' above walkway.
Standard--Elemental Bolt + Elemental Escalation on A and B, hit both (using Benny on B) for 61 hp lightning each, and both are vulnerable 3 to my attacks until EOMNT.
Popping/hissing as free action :)

22:37, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 52,9,46,15 using 2d12+35,2d10,2d12+35,2d10 with rolls of 7,10,1,8,7,4,7,8.  Damage A,B.

22:34, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 37 using 1d20+19 with rolls of 18.  Arcana.

Even as these attackers reel from Zog's powerful blasts, two other creatures fly up out of the darkness. Blood-red, they gaze terrifyingly, freezing Harald's legs in place, and then grab Zog and Harald in their feral claws....

1 and 2 fly up out of below. 1 misses both Zog and Agon with a minor action attack vs. will; 1 attacks Harald for 15 hp damage and Harald is Grabbed (until escape).

2 hits Harald with a minor action attack vs. will; Harald is immobilized (save ends); it attacks Zog, hitting him for 18 hp and Zog is Grabbed (until escape). He’s holding Zog in the air if Zog’s hover ends.

Vali, Harald, Agon and Nemeroff are up. Note that Harald and Zog are bloodied (and both are grabbed).

“Did ye think ye had the better o’ me” ya red omadaun!”

Harald stretched his muscles, expanding his chest and somehow broke the immobilization the creature had caused.  And then, his body free, he tried to break the grapple.


No Action:
20:37, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 19 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 14.  Ignore Weakness.

(Waiting to see if that works before continuing)

Minor Action:
Second Wind: recover 42 hp.

The enemies were moving too fast for Agon to catch all of them in a single spell, as he wanted, but one shadowy figured perched on the wooden walkways and Agon caught him full in the face with a blast of force that catapulted him out in space.  "Let's see how you fly!"

[Standard] Spectral Ram vs B
Attack +30 vs Fort, Heroic Effort +34 and Hit. 40 Damage and Pushed and knocked prone

Seeing the new foes fly up and attack, Nemeroff wheeled around and helped Harald with the creature that had grabbed him. "Here Harald, hit him harder!"

OOC:Commanders strike. Free MBA at +8 to damage.

(Assuming Harald breaks free)

The dwarf's axe rose and fell, crashing into the blood red beast and covering it's hide with its own gore.  And, to make matters worse, a feint from Nemeroff allowed Harald to smite the creature once more.

"Looks like ye picked the wrong fella to attack, yes?"


23:21, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 31 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 2.  MBA (if free of grapple).
23:21, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 43 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 14.  bennie reroll.
23:21, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 30 using 2d10+14 with rolls of 6,10.  damage.

23:20, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 45 using 1d20+29 with rolls of 16.  Free MBA vs 2.
23:20, Today: Harald Gaptooth rolled 29 using 2d10+22 with rolls of 1,6.  Damage

Stalking swiftlyinto the cavern, Vali comes to Haralds aid, his blades blurring with deathly speed as he lashes out at the beast.


Move
Std action: Storm of blades(3 attks, or till miss.)


12:30, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 40 using 1d20+26 with rolls of 14.  Storm of blades attack 3.
12:30, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 40 using 1d20+26 with rolls of 14.  Storm of blades attack 2.
12:30, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 41 using 1d20+26 with rolls of 15.  Storm of blades attack 1.


12:37, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 23 using 1d8+16 with rolls of 7.  dmg 3.
12:36, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 20 using 1d8+16 with rolls of 4.  dmg 2 .
12:36, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 22 using 1d8+16 with rolls of 6.  dmg 1.

Agon’s force-ram slams into one of the clawed creatures—astral stalkers, he identifies them—right to the edge of one of the platforms. At the last possible second, though, it grabs the edge with its massive claw and drags itself to the edge.

Meanwhile, the flying creature near Harald and Vali takes a number of blows, blood flying from its form, which seems only to heighten the insanity in its eyes!

Before the party can react much further, however, the walkway begins to undulate! It rocks particularly violently underneath Vali and Agon, threatening to fling them off into the abyss!

B made its save to avoid being pushed off the edge, is left prone by Agon.

2 gets hit by Harald and Vali a lot. :-)  2 is bloodied. Harald breaks free of 2.

Agon and Vali, each of you make a saving throw. On a failure, you are slid to the northeast off the edge of the walkway! Bennies can be used. A success leaves you in your current square but prone.

OOC:minor action. Inspiring word on Zog. Spend a surge and add 5d6.

Agon kept his feet on the unsteady bridge and considered his options. What would be the most effective magic to save him if this platform crumbled.


13:22, Today: Agon rolled 17 using 1d20 with rolls of 17.  save.

Vali wobbles as he tries his best to keep his footing, but attacking the flying beast has left him in a precarious position.

09:55, Today: Vali, the Returned rolled 6 using 1d20 with rolls of 6.  save.

....but he manages to grab the edge and drag himself up.

From OOC thread, spent Benny, finally got a 14 after a bunch of evil dicebot moves.

17:33, Today: EpicOne, on behalf of Vali, the Returned, rolled 14 using 1d20 with rolls of 14.  re-rolling until 10 or better.
17:33, Today: EpicOne, on behalf of Vali, the Returned, rolled 4 using 1d20 with rolls of 4.  re-rolling until 10 or better.
17:33, Today: EpicOne, on behalf of Vali, the Returned, rolled 9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9.  re-rolling until 10 or better.
22:38, Mon 23 Nov: Vali, the Returned rolled 8 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 4.  destined for greatness.

As the walkway nearly throws Agon and Vali off into the abyss below, the astral stalkers attack Zog One fires a dart from his throat which Zog dodges; the other slashes Zog with his claw and then licks the blood off of his claw, staring evilly at Zog…

Agon and Vali make their saves and thus are prone in their squares instead of falling off the edge.

B misses Zog; A hits for 15 hp and designates Zog as his Quarry.

Zog and Gromley are up. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: A and B are INVISIBLE. Targeted attacks are at -5 to hit them.

Any PC can make a Nature check to identify the new creatures (1 and 2).

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 819):

(Ooc-Gromley is holding his action. If any of his team looks like they risk falling, he will move his awareness next to them and then teleport them to saftey. As a minor action he will create a rope and tether line with his ability to create objects.)

Zog lances out with his blade, blasting both the invisible creature next to him and the creature holding him. He tries to wriggle free of the blood-creature, but fails.

Elemental Bolt + Elemental Escalation delivered in melee using the dagger; hit Reflex 38 on A for 70 hp and Reflex 41 on 1 for 54 hp. Fail on escape attempt.

00:01, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 21 using 1d20+15 with rolls of 6.  Acrobatics to escape.
00:00, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 59,11,42,12 using 2d12+38,2d10,2d12+35,2d10 with rolls of 11,10,4,7,3,4,7,5.  Damage A, 1.
00:00, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 38,41 using 1d20+22,1d20+27 with rolls of 16,14.  Elem Bolt + Elem Esc on A, 1 in melee.

Zog, amazingly enough, blasts the astral stalker attacking him and the one grabbing him. The creature grabbing him, for his part, gazes in what is supposed to be a terrifying fashion, but Zog and Agon are unimpressed. Not so unimpressive is a look from the blood-creature facing Harald; it shoots a look that freezes Vali and Agon in their tracks.

The creature holding Zog keeps tearing at the sorcerer, holding on to him.The creature that was formerly holding Harald tries to slash the warrior and then “step” away, but the fighter slashes the creature HARD for its trouble…

1 misses Agon and Zog with a burst 3; 2 hits mental defense for Agon and Vali, leaving each immobilized (save ends).

1 hits the held Zog for 16 hp.  2 misses Harald and tries to shift, but fails to do so when Harald crits hi for 38 hp and ongoing 20 damage (save ends)

Vali, Harald, Agon and Nemeroff are up! Note that Zog is bloodied.
