The water in the main fountain is murky Izzick. But ypu can see the dead priestess, her blood pouring out and clouding the water further.

As you start to reach down, you get a chill in your spine. Just a premonition of sorts. You glance upwards.

The creepy statue is looking down at you. Was it's face looking downwards before? You can't recall. But what grabs your attention is the smile on it's face. The smile is a large one. Not a malicious smirk, but an actual honest...almost loving...smile. Considering the statue depicts the goddess of filth and disease, and that it is of a naked woma who is a skipeleton from the waist down, it is easy to say the smile seems out of place.

You follow the eyes of the statue. It is not looking at you, but at her. The woman in the water. You look down.

The priestess has opened her eyes. But there are no orbs inside the sockets. Instead there is a glow. Diffused by the water, but still visible none the less. The skin around her eyes is flaking off like old paint on the wall of an old cottage by the sea. The skin flakes and disintergrates, revealing not muscle and sinew, but a second skin that glows as well. The priestess is raising her hand. As she does so the nails fall of and the palm splits open, revealing more glowing surface underneath.

It seems you are witnessing the birth of a fallen angel.

The rest of you aren't finding anything.

Izzick, she is still under the water at this point and still transforming.

 

Suddenly, the priestess rises from the water, visible to all.

She is looking a lot different. Her skin and clothes are falling away, turning into ash in the air. Beneath she is aglow. Literally. Large butterfly like wings are unfolding from her back.

She looks like an angel. Sort of. There's something off about the whole effect though. The light she gives off is slightly painful to look at. Her fingers come to in end in sharp points now. And she still has that same look on her face as when you first came into the room. A look of cool arrogance mixed with pure contempt.

And the air in the room goes stale.

Vaddis, the evil level all around just took a sharp spike upwards.

She makes a motion. The air seems to constrict around Selvin/Zac... 

Selvin, Hold Person on you. DC 15 Fort save please.

"Well," said Tarrov, grimacing.  "That's not good.  Is it?"  The performer looked around.  "I can't think of a situation in which that would be good."  He placed a hand on Vaddis' back and uttered an arcane word, all the while keeping his eyes on the unwanted apotheosis of their not-quite-defeated foe.  As Tarrov touched him, Vaddis felt a surge of valor, a spirit of courage that buoyed him to even greater feats of martial prowess.

OOC:

Doesn't Hold Person save against Will?  I don't think it's a Fort save.

Immediate Action (if necessary):  Cast Saving Finale on Selvin.

Standard Action:  Cast Heroism on Vaddis.

Free Action:  Maintain Inspire Courage

Selvin and Vaddis are now both under the effects of Heroism.

OOC - What does that do off hand?

Selvin turned back around from where he'd been searching when he heard water noises. "What?" His slight frown slid into a very surprised face as he saw the evil priestess up for round two! And boy she had gotten even more ugly! "No not good at all!" His lips curled back in disgust, even as he shook off whatever she was trying to do to him. And he charged her again, eyes narrowed to slits against the painful light!


OOC: Charging the priestess (not sure if we roll or if initiative is needed first. Hit AC 25 and 26 for 15 damage each.

Usually yes Tarrov. This case is just specific to this monstrosity.

And you guys have init. So go Daddy go 

Vaddis prays to holy Iomedae as he moves in to attack the creature! "Blessed Iomedae, guide my sword in smiting this evil creature!"

08:37, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 19 using 1d8+11. smite evil longsword damage.
08:36, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 24 using 1d20+15. smite evil longsword attack.

AC21 vs her.

Izzick could only watch in horror and confusion as the priestess transformed, and without knowing what to do, saw the end product. A horrible monster, but he should have known she wouldn't fall so easily. He took a step back and began to cant a spell - it was weaker than what he'd been using, but he'd found himself exhausted of that level of magics.

Ray of Enfeeblement
19:35, Today: Izzick rolled 22 using 1d20+7.
19:36, Today: Izzick rolled 9 using 1d6+3.

9 Strength lost. Half that if she makes a DC15 Fort save.

Like a well oiled machine, you all move in fluid concert. Selvin and Vaddis strike in perfect point-counterpoint while Izzick's ray neatly strikes her from behind. Tarrov finishes his recitation and steps back to ready himself.

Gloworm gives some ground under the various assaults. Her off kilter glowing face makes a grimace of distaste. She reaches out and slaps at the two tanks, striking one than the other. Her blows carry an impact, though perhaps not as powerful as one would perhaps expect.

Selvin, 7 pts dam. Vaddis, 9 pts dam. Ya'lls go.

Vaddis swings again, connecting with the first strike, missing badly with the second!

08:33, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 26 using 1d20+10. confirm crit failure.
08:33, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 11 using 1d20+10. smite evil longsword attack.

08:31, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 33 using 1d20+15. smite evil longsword attack.

Selvin let out a grunt as the glowing former-priestess slapped him. He felt the impact more than he thought he'd would, but it wasn't super-powerful. He frowned and attempted to flank her with Vaddis so they could both more easily hit the creature, and then lashed out again.

OOC: Hit AC 30 for 15 damage, AC 29 for 13 damage, and AC 24 for 12 damage.

08:52, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 21,30,29,24 using d20+10,d20+10,d20+10,d20+10. Power attacking again.
08:53, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 13,3,10,3,10,2 using d6+9,d6,d6+9,d6,d6+9,d6. Damage for the hits (d6s with no bonus are electrical).

Having weakened her with his weakening ray, Izzick conjured forth several blue orbs of energy to strike the woman.

20:51, Today: Izzick rolled 13 using 4d4+4. Magic Missile.

Tarrov draws a wand and sends a couple of magical missiles of his own towards their opponent.

OOC:  Draw and Use Wand of Magic Missiles.

20:05, Today: Tarrov Garrick rolled 8 using 2d4+2.

Teamwork is a truly beautiful thing.

She stumbles, striking her back against the base of the statue. With a smirk on her face, she lifts her arms and lunges forward. One hand catches Vaddis in the sternum. The ends of her odd looking fingers seem to slip through his armor like butter. The other hand smashes into Izzick, knocking his just under the collarbone.


Izzy, 9 pts dam. Selvin, 10 pts dam. Also, I need both of you to make a Fort save DC 16 please. If you fail still continue with hou actions please. Thanks.

Vaddis swings again and again into the creature, "Back to the hells with you!"

07:43, Today: Vaddis Sonaden rolled 9 using 1d8+5. smite evil longsword damage.

Tarrov uttered the command word for his wand again, hoping that his comrades could stand up to the resurrected woman's attacks.  As two bluish, magical bolts flew to hit the woman, the bard also hoped that she wouldn't be able to stand up to this kind of punishment for much longer.

OOC:

Free Action:  Maintain Inspire Courage on Group.  Heroism is up on Vaddis and Selvin.

Standard Action:  Use Wand of Magic Missiles.

15:52, Today: Tarrov Garrick rolled 6 using 2d4+2

Selvin looked a bit stricken as he saw both Vaddis and Izzick get hit by the creature. He tried to maneuver a bit to be more of a primary target again so she wouldn't hit Izzick anymore. He also swung at her but didn't seem to connect nearly as much.

07:39, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 28,20,24,25 using d20+10,d20+10,d20+10,d20+10. Power attacking again.
07:40, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 14,3 using d6+9,d6. Damage.

In reply to Selvin Larst (msg # 228):

Hey Selvin. You actually struck three times. Did you add two results together or are you missing one? Sort of need to know for reasons you can probably guess. 

OOC: Ah, no. Her AC I thought was 26 so I thought I only hit once. I will roll damage.

08:56, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 11,5,13,3 using d6+9,d6,d6+9,d6. Moar damage!

Izzick took the blow and recoiled. But as he backed away he began to cast another magic missiles as his magical energies slowly exhausted themselves.

Fort Save:11:04, Today: Izzick rolled 5 using 1d20+2. Fort.
I have a few possible modifiers but none are saving that 5

Magic Missile on her:
11:09, Today: Izzick rolled 13 using 4d4+4. Magic Missile.

...and with that the glowworm falls back into the main fountain. There is a blinding flash of light and she is gone. Poof. As if she was never there.

The moment of anticlimax is short lived though. The fountains surronding the room begin to bubble lie cauldrons reaching their boling point. The various foul liquids in them like bile and spoiled milk begin to foam up...

You have a round before whatever is about to hapoen next happens. Make good use of it.

"Run!" Vaddis heads for the exit.

Selvin whirled around and nodded. "I second that!" He will fly towards the exit but will try to help along if anyone seems to be having trouble or moving slowly.

Tarrov blanches as the liquid begins to bubble, then nods and begins moving as quickly as he can to get out of the suddenly-dangerous room.

Izzick rushes behind you.

As you all hit the stairs leading upwards you hear splashing sounds. A look back shows seven women are stepping out of the fountains, each a perfect copy of the priestess. And each one made of the fluid in the fountain she is emerging from.

The one made of blood points at your retreating backs. And they all begin to chase after you...

Everyone heading for the exit?
