*Hunzu ceases the spinning of his polearm which causes the chilling winds to calm themselves. He slams the butt end of his polearm down upon the ground, and raises his free hand. Power flashes across the area warping the area. Causing it to shift and distort once again. One of the Wights is sent flying. He then lifts his polearm from the ground and moves back. Simply brushing off his tux, and readjusting his top hat.*

[sblock=OOC]I don't know if I should be adjusting the damage I deal to the creatures, or if the DM is strictly doing so. I'm just leaving it alone until I know whom is doing it. Don't want to double the damage by having us both subtract, or doing no damage as no one added. Ha.[/sblock]

Illarion calls down another shooting star. It drops right between remaining wights, obliterating them in shower of radiant sparks.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Blazing Starfall vs W1 ref; W2 ref; Radiant Damage (1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=21, 1d4+12=15) - assuming both have same stats, both hit for 15 radiant (any vulnerability?) - map hp adjusted without vulnerability

7 Rabbit is already turning away from the wight before he realizes that it didn't fall to his mighty swing. "Eek..." he gulps as his face turns pale. But before it can swipe at him again, Hunzu's blast sends it flying away from him. He takes advantage of the opening to duck away from it towards the fountain, with a yell of, "Thanks!" over his shoulder.

When he reaches the fountain he puts one hand on the lip and rolls his ungainly weight over the edge. He gasps as he hits the waist deep water that's been left freezing by the icy winds. Crouching behind the lip of the fountain for its meager cover, he raises his club and points it at the other weight. A tiny star shoots out the end and begins orbiting its head. The star seems to cast more shadow than light, though, and frost begins to form on the weights limbs as the darkness touches it. The frost melts away all too quickly, though.

[sblock=Actions]
That didn't kill Wight 1? Damn! Ok, well...

Battle of the Temple: Victory!

The heroes onslaught wins the day. The blind elf's star obliterates the first wight and severely injuries the red eyed monster. 7 Rabbit's final attack fells the last of the monsters.

The priests of Apoli, watching from inside the temple, rush out to thank the adventurers for helping save them.

One of the lesser acolytes then asks, "What about the barmaid from the Hanged Man? She was carried away by the ghoul... that way." He points to the east.

[sblock=xp]
6 level 3 minions (38xp) = 228 xp
3 level 3 ghouls (150xp) = 450 xp
1 level 4 wight = 175 xp
1 level 5 deathlock wight =200 xp
1 level 4 emerald claw necromancer = 175xp

Total: 1228 x2/7 = 350xp for that fight
[/sblock]

GM:

A couple thoughts: First, that fight was too easy. The difficulty is going up, so be careful [MENTION=84680]treex[/MENTION].

Second, I'm going to extend the adventure from two encounters to three.

PM any feedback you feel necessary at this point.

Let me know your rest plans (healing surge use) before we start the next part of the adventure: Follow that ghoul!

*Hunzu tips his hat to the fleeing 7 Rabbit in regards to his cooment.*

OOC:

Hunzu will need to spend 2 surges to get back to full hp value. Unless he gets some aid.

After some snarling, Kruor calms down enough to start listening to people. It took a while but eventually he managed to understand what the acolyte was saying.

"Oh no, waitress-lady! Where she?! We must find her!" Kruor told the rest. A beeping starts resonating from within him..."SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FOR SANGUINE CORE INITIATED."

The two cylinders on his back, which were half full of ghoul blood, are almost empty now. It's really hard to notice, but it seems like some scratches on Kruor's body have magically disappeared. The metal on some parts of his body are turning darker too.

"Um, we just no listen to the smart man inside Kruor. He meanie. He make Kruor do bad things sometimes." said Kruor.

OOC:

I've only managed to hit once in the whole encounter. Can I at least hope for something that Kruor can do to make himself feel useful? Liiiiiike...um...uh...you know, something only a vampire robot can accomplish

Encounter was still fun though.

A light drizzle still falls over the square.

There is a huffing and puffing that comes from the northwest, where the heroes entered the square. Any concerns are immediately relieved when the group sees the old priest from the Hanged Man come rushing into the square.

"By Apoli's light! Is everyone okay?"

After a quick explanation of events, as the acolytes and priests were watching from inside, the priest approaches the party.

"You have done good this night, my friends."

He reaches up, which is hard because he is so much shorter, and grabs Kruor's head. He pulls him down until his head is even with his, his forehead touching the warforge's head.

"You have done good. Not well. Goodness. I see the struggle in you... designed for killing and maiming... struggling with your new consciousness. I can see it, my metal man... you... are... good."

He raises his index finger, which begins to glow in Apoli's white light. He gently touches the fingers to Kruor's head. Kruor suddenly feels a sensation of warmth and energy flow through him. The lines throughout his body glow in a fine white radiance.

"Go now," says the priest, "Save that girl."

[sblock=Apoli's Boon] Until the morning, Kruor gains the following benefits: +1 to all attacks, he gains 5 THP at every short rest, his attacks also gain the radiant keyword, he is immune to sunlight's effects on his body, he can shed a soft light that eminates for 5 squares (minor action, at will. also minor to stop the light)

"Kruor...uh...thank you, erm...holy...uh, man..." Kruor fumbles with his words, clearly not used to kindness. His eyes glow pink. "Your kindivity is much thank-ciated. But we must also...uhm, thank my, err...friends for their uniteameffort-idy and...stuff." at this point, Kruor is just mumbling made up words like 'cokinderation' and 'perservitude'.

When the attention on Kruor has mostly subsided, he mutters under his breathe:
[sblock]"Papa will be so proud..."[/sblock]
[sblock]"Actually, maybe not. Daddy no like holy man...uh oh..."[/sblock]

OOC:

If the boon only lasts till morning, wouldn't the "being immune to sunlight" effect be moot, since there won't be any sunlight and when the sun rises my boon fades?
Also, Kruor didn't take any damage and he loses his extra, third surge. (Which would pop me to full regardless)

Once gathered, the group makes its way through the gloomy and drizzly night. Luckily the lights glowing from inside the buildings provides sufficient illumination for the group.
