Velmont said:

OOC: By memory, untype always stack, typed doesn't if the they are of the same type.

Click to expand...

OOC: I looked it up and Velmont is correct, untyped bonuses stack and this damage bonus for Skalisss and Rocco for Wrath of the Gods is untyped.

Velmont is also correct about Temp Hit Points from multiple sources, they do not stack, you keep the highest one.

[sblock=DM notes: please ignore]
The party's counter attack is brutal, with almost everyone hitting
the abomination, staring with the potent fire attack by Phoenix. It
was the hunter's arrow that finally finished it off, just as the foe
was going to make another attack against Rocco. As the arrow pierced
the head of the abomination, it fell forward with a heavy thud. Within
seconds, the body liquifies, slowly melting into the dark shadow
floor of the room. A few seconds more all that is left is a small
puddle of obsidian liquid.

A familiar voice echos from the walls...Rocco Shadowlost. You
have gained favor of the Lord of Shadows.

[sblock=Rocco]
The voice continues, but only you hear it
Powers and gifts she will grant you...in exchange for your soul.
[/sblock]

As the voice of the messenger fades away, the party notices that the
remains of the abomination begins mold itself into the shape of a perfect sphere.
Shadows swirl from the orb. It stays stationary for a moment, then begins to move,
rolling slowly in the direction of the dwarf, stopping at Rocco's feet.

[sblock=Rocco]
You notice that black shadowed orb has the same radius as
the three orbs previously discovered during your adventure. This orb is
jet back, with swirling grey shadows. What do you do?

"Well, that wasn't so bad. Thank you for your help, everyone. Indeed, Nementah, it does."

He bows to everyone. Then he bows down to retrieve the sphere, but before he touches it he says from near the floor:
"You may want to step back a little now."

He waits for few moments before picking the sphere up.

EDIT: didn't notice MetaVoids post, included the response

"You deal with unnatural creatures, Rocco. May I don't find that you are corrupted as well, for I shall have no mercy. Learn from today, learn what destiny awaits all who sought to defile Nature." The earthen construct says ominously, with not emotion in his voice whatsoever.

"Yeah, 'dealing' is the real word here. Like I wanted to get into this. You saw what we all did, they got us at the tavern. No fault of my own, except maybe running my mouth a bit too freely. Don't get into a bind over this."

replies Rocco lightly. Those observant enough may notice that he's worried about the implications of this test, but he'd be damned if he admitted as much. And damned again if he's show fear or weakness to a creature not of his plane. Or any creature, really.
