A little something I call 'The Amoral instrument'.

Said Sophara with her eyes shining.

I'm not allowed to make it for customers.  Kind of curious to see what happens to you in fact.

It's been terrible all week.  I think it's Ivovandas, over in the High Barrens.  Her and some rival I haven't identified, spitting fire, and rain and flyin gthings all over the damn plase.  The parasol sellers have been aking a killing with those new leather and chainmail models.

In reply to Sophara Miris (msg # 40):

Somebody ought to stroll up there and politely ask them to give it a rest. 

Shraplin's gleaming head rotated slowly until he was peering at Amarelle.

Someone famous, maybe.  Someone colorful and respected.  Someone with a dangerous reputation.

In reply to Shraplin, Self Made (msg # 41):

Better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to interefere in the business of wizards and remove all doubt.  Who needs a fresh round?  Next one's still on me.  I plan on having all your money when we call it a night anyway.

The room had much softer edges than she had remembered and significantly more movement.

Another hour goes by as the group continues to play and talk ignoring the wizard's battle going on all around them.

Suddenly there is the high pitched sound of shattering glass...

Episode 00: Prologue

In reply to Mr. Sparkles (msg # 46):

As the glass lands on the table much of the party scatters like billiard balls in random directions.  Almost all of them able to avoid a half-ton of something wet, stinking, dough and burning with multicolored fire crushing their table.  It lands with a thud and a wiggle not moving.

Sophara and Brandwin fly in separate directions as they throw themselves backwards from the table.  Vyrafaeth grabs Dr. Hammerstrike flinging him out of harms way as he skids safely to a stop behind her.

Luna and Mr. Sparkles come to their senses with a dull pain in their chests (2 damage to each).  As they regain their senses they can see the motionless head of Shraplin sticking out from under the hulking figure.  He had launched himself across the table, taking the full brunt of the impact so that they did not have to.

Amarelle tumbles backward out of her chair, coming unsteadily back up to her feet.

Luna stares at the roof, dazed but still coherent enough to realize this was not going to be a typical card night.

She reaches out with both hands, haphazardly trying to feel for something.

Mr. Sparkles...give me a sign...

In reply to Luna (msg # 53):

From under a piece of glass, Mr. Sparkles stares at the roof, dazed but still coherent enough to realize he should cut down on imbibing on boozy treats during card night.

He rolls to one side, and sees Luna reaching around the rubble for him. He flips one wing to knock off the glass, replying to Luna,

Episode 00: Prologue

Dr. Hammerstrike uses his movement to scramble backwards as he stands up. He holds his arm out and a golden purple beam launches from an amber crystal embedded in his glove.

07:28, Today: Dr. Cornelius Hammerstrike rolled 15 using 1d20+4.

if a 15 hits:

07:28, Today: Dr. Cornelius Hammerstrike rolled 10 using 2d6+2.

Vyra! Kill that thing! Get in there!

Muttering to himself,
This establishment has severely dropped in the clientele that it accepts. Perhaps we should start meeting at some place more upscale.

Episode 00: Prologue

In reply to Dr. Cornelius Hammerstrike (msg # 55):

Initiative Order

  1. Dr. Cornelius Hammerstrike
  2. Amarelle Parathis
  3. Sophara Miris
  4. Mr. Sparkles
  5. Luna
  6. Vyrafeaeth
  7. Zombie Ogre


AC for Zombie Ogre: 9

The large monster has multicolored radiant flames dripping off of him.  As these hit the floor they evaporate in multi-colored steam that mixes together to make the entire room swim in impressionistic psychadelic colors.

Amarelle rushes forward with a wordless roar of rage. In quick succession she pulls out a short sword and slashes three quick cuts across the monstrosities belly, spilling black ichor on the floor.  (22 Damage)

Sophara conjures a fire bolt that zig zags through the air striking the large zombie directly between the eyes (Crit.  7 damage).

In reply to Scavius of Shadow Street (msg # 56):

Luna rolls over onto her stomach, eyes a little blurry from being blown backwards. She pushes herself up, palms to the ground, and at the same time casts:

Entangle

A 20-ft square of exotic vines blast through the remains of their table, grasping at the zombie ogre, attempting to slow it's movement.

(I need a STR Check - looking to beat a 12)
(Success - frees itself)
(Fail - ground is considered 'difficult terrain')

Episode 00: Prologue

In reply to Scavius of Shadow Street (msg # 56):

Mr. Sparkles flips himself onto his feet, and fluffs himself vigorously to shake off the remaining dust and debris. He looks around, seeing the hulking mass where the table used to be, and his companions attacking with bravado. Noticing familiar vines slithering up from the floor, Mr. Sparkles spreads his wings and lifts himself into the air with a large swoosh of downdraft. At the crest of his flight he tucks in his wings, falling back towards the zombie ogre, beak glimmering in the light of the Inn.

Mr. Sparkles rolled 24 using 1d20+6.  Attack.

Mr. Sparkles breaks his descent right in front of the zombie ogres face by throwing out one wing, looping his trajectory around it's head, scarring across it's eyes with his beak.

Mr. Sparkles rolled 5 using 1d4+2.  Damage.

The vines try to encase the large monster, but with a roar it breaks free snapping the vines like dry twigs

In reply to Mr. Sparkles (msg # 58):

Upon hearing the roar Luna shakes her head, attempting to clear some of the fog left from being tossed from the table. She peers towards the monstrosity and lets her face settle into a disappointing frown.

...at least they looked beautiful Luna mutters, poising herself for her next move, watching Mr. Sparkles conduct his aerial display.

Episode 00: Prologue

Vyra glances back to watch Dr. Hammerstrike shuffling backwards, shoving chips into his pockets and blasting the Rainbow Zombie. Ensuring that he's safe, she turns back to the creature and focuses, looking for what passes as a thinking/processing center for this creature.

Ahhh...there it is. Vyra squeezes on the part of the Rainbow Zombie that is driving it forward.

09:29, Today: Vyrafaeth rolled 11 using 3d8.  Mind Spike attack. – 11

Wis 13 save. If saved, 1/2 damage.

(Is there a way to directly link the rolls, or do we just have to cite them here?)

Episode 00: Prologue

In reply to Vyrafaeth (msg # 61):

Vyra feels an ironclad will as they press into the psychic connection to the Zombie, this is clearly being piloted by a part of the parliament of strife.

[Wisdom Save: Success (Yes I am surprised too)]

Bright tongues of dissipating steam are shaken from the monstrosity as it takes its beating and splatter onto Amarel, which behave very differently than they had previously, bursting into multicolored flames.

[3 Acid Damage]

Oh COME ON!  She yells as the acidic flames begin to eat through her dress.

Her anger catches the beasts attention and it turns and swings its morningstar, catching Amarel square in the chest.

[18 Damage]

She grunts as the air is driven out of her.  She takes a brief pause to collect herself and looks at the holes in her outfit.
