Feeling the surge of his goddess' power, Delkat once more says a prayer to Aditi as he touches the symbol of the sun on his chest,"Oh goddess -- the undead walk this land unfettered -- grant your humble servant a vestige of your grace and might!"
A beam of sunlight pierces the storm and illuminates the priest, enveloping him for a moment, leaving his appearance slightly altered -- a more golden tint to his skin, sharp, angelic features, and yellowish-orange locks of hair peeking out from underneath his helm.
OOC
Cast Lesser Visage of the Diety, +4 to CHA, Resistances to Acid/Cold/Electricity 10, lasts 6 rounds.
Call Lightning Damage (3d10=18) I reread the spell and you're right, one 5 foot square. I just got confused because you can do one each round. I will aim for #6 now.
Focus the attacks until one of them goes down. Spreading them out will be the end of us . . . or at least me.
Donner will then 5' step to X12. With the tip of his spear, he draws a circle in the ground while announcing protective prayers. Once the circle is completed, a silvery glow is produced (cast Protection from Evil).
ooc: I'll wait for Rhun to update (actions for #4 and armored man) before posting actions for Ryan.
You're up, Kinem. Sorry for the delay.

Ryan swings at the skelton he'd struck earlier, channelling electric power into his blade, but his swing goes wild.
Knowing he's in trouble, surrounded by powerful enemies, Ryan has to look to his own defense. He quickly casts a spell that turns him temporarily invisible. He then steps closer to Kryanvik.
[sblock=oocWhen channelling a touch spell, can you hold the charge on a miss?[/sblock]
OOC: I believe the spell is discharged on a miss, but I'm not 100% sure of that. I will have to check.

OOC: I know very little about the Duskblade class, but if a wizard/sorcerer cast shocking grasp, if he/she missed the touch attack, he could hold the charge until he actually successfully hit. Not sure how this works with the duskblade mechanics tho.
I don't want to tell you how to rule your game, but here is what offical sources say.
When a duskblade (PH2 20) uses arcane channeling to deliver a spell but misses with the weapon attack, is the spell discharged or can he try to deliver the spell again on his next turn?
This follows the normal rule for touch spells; that is, a melee touch spell that misses its target is not discharged. However, when using the improved version of this class feature gained at 13th level, the spell is discharged at the end of the round regardless of whether you hit or not (as described on page 20).
OOC: Thanks for the input everyone, and yes...the spell isn't discharged by a missed attack. I just had to check the rules myself. It is well spelled out.
And Nebten, I'm not a big fan of the FAQ...they frequently get things completely wrong.

Actually, I just forgot that Ryan was invisible. My poor, poor old memory. At least the skeleton missed! lol. I will change the IC post.

OOC: Round 2 complete above. I hope to get round 3 started when I get home from work tonight. 2 skeletons down, 4 remain.

A skeletal knight continues to press Donner, and wielding its blade with incredible skill, again penetrates the Stormlord's defenses...the blade sinks deep into Donner's abdomen, and blood flows from the wound. A moment later, Donner topples onto the trampled grass, passing out from pain and blood loss.
[NPC'd by DM] Esmeralda backs up against the manor's front door, but continues to direct the lightning flashing from the sky. The bolt strikes a skeleton squarely...the undead thing nearly falls from the blast, but stubbornly remains standing.
Ares rattles up above from the wind, so he chooses his most accurate spell that never fails him. He point his finger and three bolts of blue energy springs forth. Two strike the skeleton already staggered by Esme's spell, dropping it onto the wet ground, while the third missile strikes a different one of the undead, doing little damage.
"Ahhh, I knew I shoulda had more to drink before coming out here. Ares make yourself useful besides tickling their funny bones." Donner moves to the southwest, and casts a spell of healing. A blue-silver radiance discharges from his hands heals the wound across his chest.
[NPC'd by DM] Ryan again swings his greatsword, dispelling his invisibility. His blade strikes the skeleton once, but it is enough to send an arc of powerful electricity into the undead. It doesn't destroy it, but definitely gives it a moment's pause.
Completely outmatched by the skeletal warrior he is fighting, Ismark's defenses cannot keep up with the enemy's blade. The skeleton takes advantage of this, and deals the man a cruel blow, the sword thrusting through Ismark's body to come out his back. The skeleton gives a hollow chuckle and pushes the man off his sword...Ismark groans loudly and crashes to the ground.
The skeleton fighting Ryan slashes at the duskblade, but he is too nimble, and avoids the counter.
The angelic visage of Delkat opens its eyes, taking note of the positions of the abhorrent undead. "Yes, my goddess, it is time." He clutches his hand over the holy symbol emblazoned upon his breastplate and is quickly encapsulated in a warm glow, which bursts outwards in all directions, passing through all creatures and objects -- the living feel nothing beyond a momentary euphoria, but the dead are not so lucky...but then, Delkat feels an opposing darkness, fighting against the power of the sun that he channels. It seems the force of the darkness is just as powerful as his own faith, and when he looks again, non of the undead have been turned.

OOC: 5' steps don't normally provoke AoO...did I miss something here? Let's discuss in the OOC thread to keep form cluttering this one up so much.

Donner will 5' step to Y11 and will cast on the defensive Faith Healing. A blue-silver radiance discharges from his hands healing the wound across his chest.
