OOC: They weren't that far away - you're free to move and act as above.

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 390):

I said what I said. I have 4 hit points

In reply to Digger (msg # 391):

Well, your comment focused on movement.  My point was that you're already there and not limited by having to get there.

I thought I was at least two rooms back?

OOC: No, not too far away at all.  Your icon is in the northwest corner of the 'roll initiative' post.

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 394):

I saw that, but that's not where he stopped to rest by 2 rooms, I think, so I wasn't sure it wasn't a mistake. In any event, I'll wait at least a round for the Turn attempt to kick in or not.

OOC: No worries, Morek suggested you have a sit and I just assumed you plopped down right there.  And you were speaking to the party about the statue, so I suppose you could have been in the current room, too.

Either way it's a moot point now - we're rumbling!

Kyra felt tbe cold of the hit from tbe shadow, felt it sap her energy. Even the people could see her pale and stagger. She however had the mind to focus on the spell, transferring the lightning to another.

"Get....them...off....me.." she said through gritted teeth

<OOC: Kyra rolled 8 using 1d12.  Damage - witchbolt>

Sarelor attempts to take advantage of the shadow's focus on Kyra, and aims an attack with the silver short sword at what he believes is a vulnerable spot. Unfortunately, whatever his aim was becomes debatable in the botched execution of the blow.

OOC: Sarelor rolled a 1 to hit

Kyra sends another bolt of purple lightning at one of the shadows, the charge spreads through the creatures as if it was an electric vascular system.

As Digger continues to assess the situation, Sarelor swings and misses with his longsword.

Morek, sensing impending doom, beseeches the Morninglord for divine assistance.  His newfound amulet pulses with a holy aura and a nearly blinding light bursts forth!  The shadows shriek in fear and look to escape Morek and the symbol.  They huddle in a shadowy, wailing pile at the base of the statue's feet.

OOC: No, I did not fudge those dice!

Morek called out to the others, "Damaging them can break the repulsion effect, so focus on bringing down one at a time. Quickly now!" Then he waited watched the others work, knowing they would react faster than himself, to know which of these shadows was next to die.

cast Sacred Flame on the first Shadow to get hit, or the closest to me if nobody hits one
for 1 big ol' point of damage

09:47, Today: Morek rolled 1 using 1d8.  Sacred Flame, Dex DC 13.

Then move him next to that shadow so he presents himself as the primary target.

Digger examines the shadows and the statue..."They cam from the statue maybe if it ceases to exist they will. Try that flaming arrow on the statue, Sarelor."


OOC: and that's what Digger has this round. If he closes he'll get taken out first hit, so he's going to delay that while he tries other things.

OOC: I should have put this in the post above, but Morek gets the impression that the shadows won't pursue the group if they leave the room.

Sarelor begins to prepare another burning bolt, and says, "I'll do this, but for safety's sake maybe we should open the other exit before we do something that might agitate those... things."

Still focusing on her spell, the half elf black eyes narrow as beads of sweat show on her brow. "....whatever....you....do....hurry....."

<OOC: continues concentrating on spell

Kyra rolled 1 using 1d12 - damage, witchbolt
(Well, that's disappointing!)>

I'll throw this out here in a new post to bump it, but know that it would have been said on my turn.

"These spirits are tied to the statue. If we pull back into another room, they'll not be able to pursue." Hearing and seeing that they were planning to set the statue on fire, Morek shrugged a shoulder, "Well, that might work too."

The tension of imminent death subsides for a moment as the shades huddle in a fearful group at the foot of the statue.

Taking careful aim, the group focuses on the previously wounded shade.  Between the three attackers, they're able to dispatch one the weakest one.

The two others remain deathly afraid of Morek and his holy symbol.


OOC: Just pretend one of those shades is gone.  The other two appear to be at full health.

Digger eyes the Shadows, "I don't suppose either of you magic types has a damaging light spell of some sort?"

"What do you think I've been killing them with? My sexy beard?"

Action: cast Sacred Flame (if one is damaged by my turn, pick that one. if not, pick one
Result: Dex 13 vs 3 Radiant

18:11, Today: Morek rolled 3 using 1d8.  Sacred Flame, Dex DC 13.



Then position myself to be the easiest target for them when the turn effect ends.

Kyra, still focusing on her magical spell, arcs the purple lightning to the next one, beads of sweat on her brow as she holds the orb.

<OOC: Kyra rolled 2 using 1d12 (witchbolt damage)

Seriously!>

Sarelor attempts to shoot another flaming crossbow bolt at the wooden statue.

OOC:
00:27, Today: Sarelor rolled 10 using 1d20+5.  shoot statue with firey crossbow bolt.
00:28, Today: Sarelor rolled 8 using 1d6+3.  damage.

Kyra's eldritch lightning zaps one of the shadowy figures, which seemingly snaps it out of deathly fear of Morek.

Digger watches on as the rest of the party takes on the enemy.

Sarelor takes a pot shot at the statue.  The bolt connects and lodges in the statue, smoldering.

Morek's hold fire engulfs the figure and seems to weaken it greatly!


However, it's now able to move and steps forward to strike at Kyra, fortunately for her...missing.

"Weapons still hurt them, they just won't feel the sting as much as the living. Digger, grab something and throw it if you have to."

Action: Cast Sacred Flame on the same target
Result: Dex 13 vs 2 Radiant
Move: to be a target for the other, only if this one is dead

01:38, Today: Morek rolled 2 using 1d8.  Sacred Flame, Dex DC 13.

Kyra, still injured from the last attack, took a breath, the spell fading. She focused on the one in front of her, holding her hand out. Again her eyes turned black as coal as energy moved from her body to her hand, sending a blast of eldrich energy to the shadow.

<OOC: action: casts eldrich blast

Kyra rolled 20 using 1d20+5.  Attack - eldrich blast.
Kyra rolled 7 using 1d10+3.  Damage - eldrich blast.>

Sarelor apparently decides, finally, that he is facing worth foes. Switching the silver short blade to his good hand, he uses the shadow's (apparent) pre-occupation with Kyra to finesse the small blade of the silver shortsword into the shadow's back, and then used a cut from the longsword to give purchase and wrench the shortsword from the shadow.

OOC: so, I guess we do it the hard way
using the shortsword in his dominant hand, Sarelor attempts to stab the shadow in the back, as a sort of sneak attack
23:42, Today: Sarelor rolled 14 using 1d20+5.  attack with shortsword (finesse).
23:43, Today: Sarelor rolled 4 using 1d6.  damage with shortsword.
23:44, Today: Sarelor rolled 5 using 1d6.  sneak attack damage added.
then he uses the longsword to push away from the shadow
23:51, Today: Sarelor rolled 18 using 1d20+2.  longsword attack.
23:52, Today: Sarelor rolled 7 using 1d8.  damage with longsword.
that's sixteen points, total
