Scene 6: Graveyard Shift
Round 3
Kalista performs a wide slash with her psionic blade while maintaining a practiced defense against and simultaneous attack. The hazy energy cloud splits and wraps around the tip of the blade, and then it reforms on the other side. This miraculous dodge keeps the strange entity in the fight.
Doc
Doc holds his action, maybe?
The first guardian wraith, the one fighting Lady Kalista, realizes that it is quickly running out of tricks and options. It resorts to a quick magic spell in an attempt to buy itself some time to recover. The wraith casts Blinding Flash at her. Kalista is the only target within its area of effect. She must roll a standard Saving Throw versus Magic (16) to avoid the effect or else be blinded for 1D4 melee rounds.
Ethan
Reaching outward with his power, Ethan finds that he can in fact create more force fields.
The second guardian wraith, the one fighting Sir Arulas, continues it clawing assault against the elf. The monster makes a clumbsy attack. (It's mathematically impossible for Arulas to fail to parry this strike.) Arulas skillfully blocks thing's claw.
Nyx
Nyx holds his actio, maybe?
The third guardian wraith, the one which had been fighting Polkatain, discovers that it has been abandoned by its opponent. It looks around for a new combatant but finds none available. Being incorporeal and invisible, it instead calmly floats towards the prisoners inside the magic net.
Arulas
The brave knight ignores the only remaining wraith with a physical body left and charges at the tree, following Polkatain's guidance. With excellent speed, he sprints through the graveyard and arrives at his opponent soon afterward. The snubbed guardian wraith stares with a wide open jaw at Arulas' backside. He may activate See Aura and sprint at the same time.
Soul Tree
For those who can see it, the tree itself shakes slightly. Only Arulas and Polkatain are close enough to hear its whispered words in a hideous version of Elven-Dragonese. Polkatain is being targeted with a Domination spell. If he fails a standard Saving Throw versus Magic (16), Polkatain will feel compelled to obey the monster's commands. Arulas is not targeted and is ever so slightly outside of the range of this spell anyway.
Polkatain
If he fails, Polk will not attack and will be subject to commands next round.
If he succeeds, Polkatain responds by clawing at the tree. His claws land a solid strike. (Trees don't dodge.) His claws sink in a tear away bark.
I don't have the book with the Demon Punch power here with me tonight. Is there another effect beyond simply being able to hurt monsters and inflicting extra damage?
I guess we are ready to move to Round 4 now, aren't we?
