A Simple Errand (DM:renau1g, Judge: covaithe)

Crag stares down the wraith bearing down on him, but he does not charge into it. Instead, he seemingly retreats from his foe, crashing through the chunks of rocks to his northeast. But only seemingly. He approaches the northern magma-creature and slams into it from behind. The fractures between the beast's rocky form are immediately visible to the warden; he aims his repeated attacks at the rifts, causing massive structural damage.

Emboldened by Crag's charge - and scared at the results of Meepo's own attempt to flee - Jax decides to press the attack. He jabs quickly at the flamespiker, diverting its gaze long enough for Crag to pick out another weak point, and then hops over into a flanking position. The kobold then strikes hard into the beast's chest, hoping to put it down in the lightning-fast combined attack.

A protective ring of fire springs up around Dorn as the flamespiker strikes him, magically absorbing most of the attack. He has no such defense against the wails of the wraith, however.

Reclaiming his composure, he focuses his mind and unleashes an explosion of pure psychic power. The flamespiker is annihilated, and every nearby creature is pushed away from the half-orc.

Dorn moves closer to the wizard and sends a ball of frozen wrath at the creature near Meepo. It is blasted with cold and necrotic energy as Dorn channels the power of his dagger through the blast.

Ingot turns towards the wraith, divine fire leaping towards it from its holy symbol. It steps over to the elemental that is menacing Meepo, uttering a quick prayer: "Vulkar, please repair my ally Meepo. Kobolds seem to be somewhat flimsy in construction, but with your aid they may still stand strong in battle..."

Electric shock coursed through Meepo's small body. It seemed like all of his muscles contracted at once. How he managed to remain upright was unknowable. He wished he could thank Ignot for all of the aid, but all he could manage was to grip his whip tighter, and bide his time for the next strike.

The elemental slams his spiked arms into Ingot, slightly damaging the warforged. Ingot feels some flames lingering on him, knowing that the next attack will be more deadly.

The wraiths unleash their baleful moans, but this time the group is ready for them and only the kobolds are affected by the sounds, and even they resist most of it.

Crag
Crag raises his longsword and drives it down deep into the earth. A jagged pillar of rock immediately bursts out of the ground in the path of the wraith, but the screeching creature manages to slide out of the way at the last moment.

Jax
Jax calls over his shoulder, "Meepo, Ingot! How are things on your end?" He does not pause his combat routine while waiting for an answer, of course. The rogue uses Crag as cover to approach the wraith and then quickly slides in and out to stab at his target. Although, since the ghostly wraith is somehow screaming into Jax's mind, he figures his warforged shield will not be of much use. Jax covers his ear sockets with his palms in preparation for the next attack.

"Time to fight fire with fire," Dorn mutters to himself. He hustles closer to Meepo and Ingot (move to H2), and lets fire roll out of his fingertips. The wraith manages to avoid the flames, but the flamespiker is not so lucky. Dorn's fire is arcane flame, and the elemental cannot fully resist it. (Burning spray misses wraith, hits fire elemental for 11 fire damage. Dorn's wild soul allows him to ignore the first 5 fire resistance, so in effect the fire elemental has resist 5 fire, bringing the damage down to 6.)

Rats - was hoping to clear the flamespiker from the field. At any rate, he is doomed due to ongoing damage.

Meepo felt miserable. What a failure he was turning out to be. "Vallegurlz! Aid my might," he called, thrashing his whip at the rock monster infront of him, but none of his lashings were strong enough to force the beast to drop its guard. "Ingot, am I doing it wrong?"

"Your tactics seem sound," Ingot replies. "But your execution needs work."

[sblock=ooc]That was the right move to try to finish the spiker...

I can't find a sheet for Meepo, did he not move over to the new wiki? I am about to spend an action point and want to see if he gives a bonus and what it is.[/sblock]

// The thing is, it has Ingot marked (and might have some power to punish a marked target who attacks someone else).

Ingot twirls its fullblade and slices the badly wounded spiker, a weak blow but enough to finish it off. It turns towards the wraith, and holds its blade still for a moment. Its holy symbol makes a full rotation and clicks; fire leaps to cover the warforged's weapon from hilt to tip. "Be purged in Vulkar's flame!" it shouts as it steps forward and swings. The fiery blade connects with the shadowy form, drawing a bright line across its torso, which continues to glow with painful heat.
