The Wayfinders - Expedition to Tempest Isle

Midian Rightson, human druid

SelcSilverhand said:

The creatures recover from the initial attack swiftly. Two of them orient on your party and howl. Their gore soaked arms suddenly glisten with and glow with a sickly green substance. The "goo" on their arms drips to the ground with hissing splatters. The two hurl themselves towards you covering the distance with frightening speed. The other two remain blinded by the dust but they move slowly towards the sounds of their brethren fighting.

Midian continues chanting, invisible for the moment, and his mixture of howling and growled syllables find a match from the wavering air next to one of the undead mostrosities. An oversized wolf forms as the source of that returned wild call, and launches itself at the closest opponent, massive jaws clamping down, shoulders straining to tip the creature to the ground.

As the summoned creature attacks, Midian lets out a low grunt, which is itself all his Ape companion needs to lend his own claws to the fray.

[sblock=OOC]The Summon Nature's Ally that Midian started in the first round should finish now. I'm not sure which of the undead are blinded, but let's start with the wolf above the closest undead, blind or not. He can't flank due to that downed log, I think. If the bite hits, he gets an auto trip attempt on the undead in question.

Bite attack; damage; trip attempt vs. undead. (1d20+11=24, 1d8+10=17, 1d20+11=16)

Midian's ape has 10' reach, so he'll take advantage of that if possible. He has to move to hit an opponent this round, so only the one claw attack. Let's go for that same undead the wolf's after.

"I hate undead..." Doral grunts as he fires three bolts at the lead creature.

"Yes," Whisper agrees with a grin. "But I couldn't ask for better test subjects for my new spell."

She cups her hands together and incants. At first it looks a lot like her own 'magic missile' spell, as flecks of gleaming blue magical energy are birthed from the knot of power that forms over her palms. But more than three appear. Many MANY more.

In seconds, Whisper looks like someone harried by dozens of fat, insane blue fireflies. They whirl and dance around her dizzyingly. Then she gestures, and the whole swarm breaks off, splitting into two smaller clusters with each heading towards a different unblinded undead creature.

There they wheel and dart, attacking en masse. No single mote seems to do a LOT of damage, but it's also easy to see that what they are doing will pile up pretty fast.

(Manyjaws! Does 9 damage to one, 16 damage to the other. Reflex save DC 18 for half damage. Roll Lookup Will continue for 2 more rounds, though Whisper can redirect them during that time if she sees fit.)

"Cobblers. Didn't get the voice right."

Kraken coughs and gives his chant again. This time his voice sounds more resounding and seems to carry an echo of distant thunder.

End of Round 1
The lead undead hurtles towards Kraken with vicious clawed hands upraised. He stands firm before its approach and calls out with his god's voice once again. The undead skids to a halt and shrieks, shielding its face with its hands as if blinded by a bright light. It turns to run but doesn't make it far. With a fierce snarl an immense wolf appears from thin air and pounces. At the same time Midian's ape lunges forward and swats at its retreating backside. Whispers cloud of magical particles descend on the two undead and you can see small pits forming wherever they touch. Dorel and Midian reappear as Dorel activates his magic missile wand, dispelling his invisibility sphere. The first creature staggers under the onslaught and Glaive's final eldritch invocation finishes it. There is an explosion of black and red material in its chest that glitters in the light. The skeletal body collapses in a heap.

Round 2
The second undead lunges forward with incredible speed and tears open the chest of Midian's companion. The ape lets loose a shriek of pain. The remaining two undead continue forward, drawn by the sounds of combat.

"Gotcha!" cries Kraken exultantly. "They're deadfellas alright," he calls to the rest of the party. "And now.." He rattles his necklace of shells and utters a word in a strange language. The shell rattle and the word seem to combine to the sound of thunder and shockwave of detonation rushes towards the undead threatening Midian's ape.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Shatter against undead at (3,5). I assume the one in faded pink is the turned one?

Doral unloads a second blast from his wand at the next nearest undead. "Hopefully we can kill something with a brain sometime," he says, still feeling useless since he couldn't even try sneaking around because of the guard dogs.

Only 6 points of damage from the wand...

Midian Rightson, human druid

Midian chooses to forego further magics for the moment, falling back on his bow skills. Which, sadly, seem to have suffered during his time at sea.

Meanwhile, the summoned Dire Wolf launches itself again with massive jaws. And the ape Garuk, fueled by pain and rage, tears at the undead which attacked it.

[sblock=OOC]Dire Wolfe Bite attack;damage; Auto Trip attempt Round 2 (1d20+11=23, 1d8+10=12, 1d20+11=29)

With a fierce grin, Whisper flicks a hand, and the spinning motes of her spell swarm around the remaining unblinded skeleton, picking at it mercilessly.

"Oh, I like this spell," she says with a disarming little giggle. "I like this spell a lot."

(Damage 23 Roll Lookup Ref save DC 18 for half.)

(OOC Note: If this skelly goes down before her turn, she'll redirect the motes onto one of the blinded ones instead.)
