Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (ToEE) - Part II - CLOSED!

First Post
COMBAT - Round 6, Complete
Round 5 updated above
Trevor rallies his will, and breaks free of the spell that holds him paralyzed.
Kurt hears Ragnok's cry and instantly recognises that the dwarf is in trouble. "VERDIS! THE CLERIC!" the champion on Heironeous yells as leaves the guard facing him to Dara and risks himself to bolster Ragnok. The guard takes a swipe at the cleric as he moves, but his blade is a foot or more off target. Kurt pours healing power into the dwarf, bringing him a slight reprieve from his wounds.
The dark cleric of the earth, none to please with the odds, and the success that your company has had in dispatching his troops, moves away from the melee; Ragnok takes advantage of the opening, but his axe catches nothing but air. Speaking as he moves, the caster once again calls upon the power of Elemental Earth, and sharp stone spikes sprout from the ground, covering the entire area under your feet, and impeding any chance of reaching the evil cleric. You all realize that getting through the area will be tricky...
[sblock=For Dara, Kurt and Verdis]
You all recognize the spell as Spike Stones. House Rule: If you make 5' steps through the area each round, you can get through it without suffering damage. Also, since it was cast underfoot, I'm ruling that the spell is visible, even though it generally takes a rogue to find it.
[/sblock]
Ragnok growls and strikes his gnoll opponent with Norryjar, and the creature joins the pile of broken bodies now littering the area.
The remaining human guard, caught in the high priest's spell and realizing he can't run, launches a last ditch attack on Dara, determined to take someone with him. Despite the barbarian's woman's rage, though, the man's blade fails to score a hit.
Taking his cue, the warlock targets the Cleric with an Eldritch Blast. In rare form, though, the warlock's aim is off and the blast misses its target.
Dara turns her attention to the nearest foe and swings her mighty blade into his direction. Her mighty blow is deflected by her opponent's shielf, though she does succeed in taking a chunk of wood out of the ward.
The closest foes all down, Coraine takes the opportunity to climb to his feet. The paladin begins slowly and carefully picking his way through the area to reach the enemy cleric.

Trevor Champlaign -- Desired Defiance!
In his mind, Trevor summons all of his will and fights against the evil influence with all of his might, Trevor slowly [again, in his mind only] -- ever so slowly -- glacially almost, raises his right hand and makes the rudest gesture that he knows at the evil priest. Then reality rears its ugly head once again, and Trevor realizes that he was only imagining what he wishes he could do. He remains held fast by the evil spell.

Round 5 Summary
[sblock=Round 5 Summary - For Reference]
Round 4 updated above
Trevor rallies his mind against the effects of the underpriest's insidious spell, but to no avail. He is unable to shake off the effects, and remains paralyzed.
Kurt fears the worst when he sees the way Coraine falls, but quickly realises than the paladin is okay, if not in the best situation. The Underpriest is still firmly in Kurt's sight for some more of the The Treatment. Positioning himself so that he can both attack the Underpriest and protect Trevor, Kurt thrusts his longsword at the wounded man once more.
The high priest moves around his troops, whispering the words to a spell, and reaching out to touch Ragnok. Unholy power rushes into the dwarves body, causing him to cry out in pain as his body spasms from the agony. Ragnok growls through his clenched teeth and returns the pain, opening a bloody gash across the cleric's arm with Norryjar. Ragnok's strike leaves him open, though, and a moment later the gnoll strikes him with his axe, leaving another bloody wound on the tough dwarf.
One of the guards strikes another glancing blow against Kurt, and the priest of Hieroneous is certainly beginning to feel the accumulation of his wounds.
The guard towering above the prone Coraine strikes the paladin again, another minor wound.
Verdis steps further into the room for a better angle, and sends and eldritch blast crackling into another guard. The guard cries out and falls.
Dara leaps over the fallen bodies and towards the Underpriest now, wielding her falchion with grim determination as she hits the battle line. Her blad strikes true, and in her fury cuts the man from shoulder deep down into chest cavity, slaying him instantly! As he dies, his spiritual weapon winks out of existence.
Knowing that he risks being struck should he stand up with the enemy so close, Coraine rolls over and whips his axe up from where he lay on his back, sinking it into the man's groin. The guard utters a short cry of pain, and then collapses as blood and viscera pour from his abdomen.

I don't think there is one. Maybe there was in an earlier edition.... earlier than 3.0 that is.Rhun said:
Of course, Kurt could have used his Resurgence spell to give Trevor a new save immediately (as if he hadn't failed the initial save), but Kurt was kind of busy dealing with the mess that Trevor has got us into.
