[Adventure]: The Mark of Trogdor (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

At the call of the warlord the party surrounds the dwarf and pummel it with a fury of blows, the last of which came from the dragonborn paladin. The dwarf crumbles to the floor. This triggers a powerful surge of energy which pulsates through the entire room. As the party members look on the energy seems to fade away. From the west wall of the room the same shadow messenger appears and moves foward a few steps, then stops.

Rocco Shadowlost, it is time for the final test. Prepare yourself now.

ooc: You may spend a Healing Surge here...quickly though

Then the shadow messenger turns to the three other statues. The pulsating energy begins to resonate again, intensifying with every beat. As the it does so the shadow messenger moves back into the wall, fading into darkness. Dark energy begins to flow through the three statues facing the party. Their red eyes burns brighter. A moment later a flash of light bursts throughout the room, causing momentary blindness. As the party regains their sight, they see that the goliath and half-elf statues have activated. Instead of attacking the party, they turn towards the elf statue in the middle. In unison, they step towards the elf, which engulfs their bodies, fusing the three together to create a colossal statute of the same material as the others, only this one contains six arms, all of which wield weapons. It pauses for a moment, then immediately turns its head towards Rocco, with its red eyes boring deep into the very depths of the dwarf's soul. It then steps towards the party in attack formation.

ooc: This triggers the damage from the flame sphere. I'll include it on the next update after everyone rolls initiative. Please state whether or not you spend a surge

shadow abomination initiative: 11

ooc: If your roll is higher than 11, the stats are the same as the others...except the hp
AC 24, Fortitude 23 Reflex 21, Will 22
If your initiative is higher you can attack.

[sblock=Initiative 13]1d20+7=13[/sblock]

Nementah DOES NOT spend a surge (she's at full hp)

Initiative (1d20+6=17)

Nementah was ready for the change and Primera charges in, blocking the statue.

"Phoenix, you might consider moving that pyre so that our fighters can get to the statue. It's blocked by the wall, we could freeze it in place!"

She proceeds to call upon spirits of this evil place to beffudle the mind of the great statue, confusing it for a moment who is it, exactly, this test for.

"I suppose I could share it with the rest of you," Phoenix says. She gestures to the small phoenix hovering by the statue and it rises above it, suddenly erupting in a swirl of fire.

Init (1d20+6=21)
Rocco spends a surge to get to full.

Rocco almost flies over toward the abomination, shouldering between Halleck and Skaliss. He strikes strong blow, turning full circle and coming at the abomination again menacing it.

EDIT: just realized the statue is large (I thought the orange field is from the sphere)

[/sblock]

Earth with his usual resolution, approaches the giant creature, and at the call of "Abomination!" he strikes it down with a thunderous sweep of his stone hammer. Once down, he batters it with two blows of his dreadful weapon. No doubt that if the creature had ribs, they would been piercing it's lungs, shattered in pieces.
At Halleck's call, He keeps hitting the creature viciously.

"Yeah. I thought I saw a lot before I started hanging out with you guys..."

He notches another arrow and with great focus, finally hits one of the statues. The arrow pierces deep and knocks the statue off balance.
