Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

OOC:

Sorry, I made a mistake on the damage from PA in round 1. Both her targets should have taken an additional +2 damage. Power Attack gives her +6 instead of +4 when using two-handed weapons.

Once again the dancing Cythera is struck with a pickaxe and grunts with pain, "Ungh! They are not undead, but aberrations instead. I will hold position for you to flank them, Fury."

He drops her glaive and draws her greatsword, putting some arcane energy into it.

With the healing energy washing over her, she is less worried about the husky, letting him fend for himself for now.

Carak

Systole · Jun 25, 2012

The wrathspawn seem to have no conception of tactics beyond furiously attacking what's in front of them, and continue to assail the party almost mindlessly. However, only the one facing Carak manages to strike true, inflicting a minor wound on the hound.

[sblock=GM]If Carak hasn't retreated by now, he's in it until called off.

Wrathspawn 1: Full attack on Carak. Pick hits for 8, bite misses.

Wrathspawn 2: Full attack on Cythera. Pick misses, bite misses.

Again Orlando shifts his position, now able to take advantage of attacking the wrathspawn while it is distracted between himself and Cythera. Nevertheless, he still tries to fake it out by taking advantage of his whirling movement and thrusting for a weak spot in its armor.

Hmmm. Not sure if the thing has enough Dex to AC to adjust this up to a hit or not since I'm fairly sure the Bluff is a success...[/sblock]

Breninyr continues his strategic withdrawal, hoping to use the pursuing creatures battle lust to lure it into position for a flank with Cythera. He touches the holy symbol at his neck with one hand and says a quick prayer, pointing at the WrathSpawn attacking the dog.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera cannot continue to endanger the husky and orders it to disengage.

She keeps up the battle dancing and slices into the back of the wraithspawn caught between her and Fury. The arcane energy charged blade bites deep.

"Keep up the flanking them, we can keep taking them down, one by one."

GM:

@mowgli If you step to C8 and cast, you will still be in melee of #3 . You'll draw an AoO unless you cast defensicely. Is that the square you want?

OOC:

Sorry: Meant C6.

Fury's and Cythera's attacks finally succeed in dropping one of the creatures. Bren's spell has absolutely no effect, however. It takes a step after the fleeing dog, and howls in frustration as its quarry escapes. It turns to the priest and strikes him with its pickaxe, and as he tries to recover from the blow, it sinks its slavering jaws into his shoulder. Bren feels an overwhelming rage begin to take hold of him. The other wrathspawn lash out but do not connect.

[sblock=GM]There is no effect from Murderous Command.

Bren needs to make a DC 14 Will save or be sickened with wrathful thoughts.

Wrathspawn 1: Step after Carak. Full attack on Bren. Pick hits for 13, bite hits for 7.

Wrathspawn 2: Full attack on Cythera. Pick misses, bite misses.

Wrathspawn 3: Step to attack Bren, Pick misses, bite misses.[/sblock][sblock=Combat Information]

Orlando steps to the side then seeing a moment when Cythera has the wrathspawn distracted he lunges in at the creature. The point of his blade skitters across the thing's armor and Orlando curses under his breath.

"Akutu's slimy tentacles! What's it take to beat down these things anyway?"

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Finally making progress, the dancing dragon disciple continues to weave her large sword around and probe the wraithspawn's defenses.

She is unable to find the gap in the wounded aberration's armor, though.

"These are a bit tougher than the ones I encountered in Venza. I would not waste your magic on them, Bren. They have strong resistance to spells."

OOC:

If you miss by 1, I will use Timely Inspiration, GE.
