The Wayfinders - Expedition to Tempest Isle

Midian Rightson, human druid.

((OOC: I had a nice little narrative set up, but then the board logged me out and ate it, so I'm going with raw details and hoping I don't lose it again:

Dunno how to get IC to do empowered calculations, so I have to add the extra 1/2 manually. I believe that makes this 28 for this bolt (it's stronger already 'cause it's raining. Hooray for rain!) Call Lightning in rain (Empowered shard: add 1/2) (3d10=19)

He's setting Garuk to Defend Kraken (that's him next to the closest creature, right?). 10' reach, attack Claw attack; damage (1d20+7=13, 1d6+5=6)))

We're fighting flesh eaters and she's taking notes for a field journal," the rogue thinks to himself. If Doral can maintain the image he will continue to try to toy and continue to distract the second beast with the edible-looking fat merchant. If that doesn't work out he will instead take out his wand of magic missiles and strike the first beast, which is locked in combat with Kraken.

OOC to Jkason: The figure that looks like its wearing red shorts is Doral illusionary fat man, I think. Kraken's figure is the one putting his weight onto his back foot as he winds up for a sword swing, just below the entangled area.

"Why you bloody...," Kraken mutters. Midian's lightning seems to linger around the shaggy shaman, flickering sparks play across the tip of his beard, his scruffy hair and the edge of his falchion. His eyes seem to spark with the fury of the storm. The rain mingles with the blood from his wounds and runs down his body in rust-red rivulets.

Moving suddenly with superhuman speed, Kraken leaps at the undead, bringing his falchion down in a wide arc. This time he is braced for the jarring impact. If the thing is absorbing his blows, he just needs to strike harder. He spins in a nimble dance of death, slamming the sword into the side of the undead again.

[SBLOCK="OOC"]
Going into Whirling Frenzy, giving +4 Strength, +2 AC and an extra attack (both at -2). AC is now 17 base, raised to 19 with the Shield of Faith. His charge penalty has now worn off. ON the subject of DR, his falchion is magical if that makes a difference.

Attacks
1d20 7=12, 1d20 7=20

Confirm
1d20 7=19

Damage
2d4 7=12, 2d4 7=13, 2d4 7=12
Assuming that 19 confirms the critical for the second attack, use the third damage roll.

Glaive
[sblock]
OOC - Is your weapon effected by damage reduction, does it have a type such as slashing, piercing, etc or is it untyped magical damage like the eldritch blast?
[/sblock]

ooc: just like eldritch blast.

Glaive makes a step toward his darkness effect, as he continues to attack the large undead creature.

[sblock=ooc]
5 ft step to the right.
Eldritch Glaive (to hit (touch); damage) (1d20+6=8, 3d6=13)

Kraken whirls his falchion in a deadly arc and carves the creature once across the chest. The steel grinds against the bone and surprisingly draws sparks this time. Glaive swings his eldritch blade at the creature but misses it as it nimbly dodges away. Dorel continues to concentrate on his illusion, causing the merchant to stumble to his knees and attempt to crawl away from the slashing claws of the creature. Whisper flings another three bolts of energy at her target and is rewarded with the sight of creature chunks exploding outward from the impacts. Midian finishes incanting his spell and the storm overhead howls with unnatural intensity. He concentrates and thrusts both hands forward at the creature. With a brilliant flash of light, a bolt of electricity lances out of the sky and strikes the creature near him. It goes rigid for a moment as millions of volts of electricity passes through it. At the same moment and booming crack of thunder shakes the air around him. Midian's ape bounds forward and attacks with its claws, but misses.
The creature Kraken struck presses its attack against him. It strikes with both of its claws, but misses as it tries to bite him. Kraken looks badly injured by the creatures talons. The second beast attacks the fat merchant in front of it again, but it suddenly stops as one claw passes all the way through the illusion. It's head swivels about as it seeks out a new target. With a loud shriek of hunger and anger, its eyes alight upon Midian.

OOC
[SBLOCK]
2 claws and a bite creature 1 (1d20 12=32, 1d20 12=24, 1d20 7=11)
Claw crit confirm creature 1 (1d20 12=13)
Creature 1 damage (1d4 7=11, 1d4 7=9)

Kraken takes an additional 20 points of damage, he is now down 45.

Will save vs illusion creature 2 (1d20 8=20)

Sorry for the delays, work is going to be very busy this month.

Midian bites his lip as the creature turns its attention to him. Whistling for Garuk to guard him, he retreats through the brush, calling down another bolt of lightning in hopes of (re)-killing the creature before it can reach him.

[sblock=OOC]I'm guessing the brush below Midian is also difficult terrain, so a 30' move through that will hopefully mean the undead has to spend more movement than Midian to get to him. Using standard action to call another lightning bolt:

25 electrical damage: Roll 17 + 8 for empowered shard

Garuk should be close enough for a full attack this round, so:

Bite attack, damage in Full Attack (1d20+2=14, 1d6+2=4)
Claw attacks, damage in Full Attack. (1d20+7=14, 1d6+5=9, 1d20+7=23, 1d6+5=7)

Glaive repeats his last action, slashing at the large unholy creature and taking another step toward the obscuring darkness.

Doral sighs as he realizes that his illusion was no longer going to be effective, nor was it likely that the majority of the rest of his spells would be of use against undead. Pulling out his wand of magic missiles he aims at the injured creature battling Kraken and looses its three bolts.

Whisper moves over towards the others, keeping them between herself and the monsters. When she spies one moving towards Midian, she repeats her spell, hurling another triad of motes at the creature!

Midian's final lightning bolt shatters the frame of the skeletal creature. Bits and pieces scatter widely across the ground, most still grasping and flexing as if still seeking living prey. Seeing the first creature go down, Whisper redirects her magical attack against Kraken and Glaive's foe, striking it just as Dorel's own bolts impact. The first set of bolts shatters its arms and takes out a knee. The final volley breaks its rib cage and spine, leaving it helpless on the ground. The creatures jaws snap open and close with audible clacks for a few moments more before going still. The storm overhead continues to rage, and somewhere in the darkness the entangled and dying reptiles bleat piteously.
