[LPF] Evil Unto Evil

Midway through Eanos' accusation, a tremor runs through all three of the remaining undead. When then one that the don was speaking thorough returns to the fray, its expression is as vacant and hungry as the other, and it does not speak this time. Something seems to have disrupted the don's direct control.

The undead press their attacks mindlessly, striking Tyrien and Heinrich.

End of Round 3: Three attacks on Heinrich, three on Tyrien, three on Eanos. Eanos gets lucky and does not get hit. Tyrien takes 5 damage and a DC 14 Fort or level drain. Heinrich takes 9 damage (all of which goes to Stoneskin) and a DC 14 Fort or level drain.

Round 4, party is up.

Minion 1: AC 23, touch 19, flatfooted 17, CMD 19. Near death (10/60 +5 if drain successful).

Sneaky Minion: AC 22, touch 16, FF 17. Badly injured (23/68). Small size. [/sblock]

Heinrich shrugs off the damage and shivers with the cold, but otherwise shows no other effect. He points his finger and carefully aims a blast of 5 foot wide jett of flames.

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress


Tyrien felt the cold death chill of the wight’s touch and winced again. “Gah! I hope there is a way to reverse these effects or they will wear off soon.”

“I do not think this is the last of these undead minions we will deal with, we need a better way to keep them from getting close and personal.”

She stepped back and continued to fire arrow after arrow. “Can’t you drop the badly damaged one? You keep blocking my shot and making it harder for me.”

Tyrien’s arrows eventually drop the wight in front of her.

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

"Too bad Heinrich can't summon critters to block them for us," Eanos offers to Tyrien's concerns about oncoming undead as he tries to position himself to better deal with all those remaining. "Don't imagine our employers are going to offer us meatshields, either, much as we'd like, yes?

"On the upside, think we might just have hit something a little close to home," the inquisitor says with a smile. "Secrets are power," here for a moment a whispered voice seems to emanate from Eanos' bow. "And looks like we know Rosa's, or she wouldn't have had to yank Armando out of earshot so quick."

His smile turns cold, and Eanos plants a double shot directly in the wobbly head of the undead on the roof with him, sending the creatured tumbling backward. He quickly changes focus, firing the next two arrows at the remaining undead on the ground. His first shot goes wide, but the second digs into the creature's forehead with a wet thunk.

Full Attack: Starting with sneaky, moving to Minion 1 (he's the one still standing down below, right?) if sneaky falls. I suspect Minion 1 has partial cover from the roof, but that affects his AC and not Eanos' bonus on the rolls, so no reason to delay rolling :

Rapid Shot, PBS, Bane, Justice, Manyshot attack;Manyshot Damage with PBS, Bane boost, Destruction;Manyshot Bane Damage;Rapid shot, PBS, Justice, Bane attack (iterative); Damage with PBS, Bane boost, Destruction; Bane Damage; Rapid Shot, PBS, Justice, Bane attack; Damage with PBS, Bane boost, Destruction; Bane Damage (1d20+16=34, 2d8+18=27, 4d6=12, 1d20+11=14, 1d8+9=11, 2d6=5, 1d20+16=26, 1d8+9=15, 2d6=5)

39 damage to sneaky with the first attack, so he's down.

Second attack definitely misses. I believe the third shot hits even with cover (or if it's one off, Tyrien may be able to Timely Inspiration bump it), if I've figured it right (22 +4 cover)? If so, it's 20 damage to him, which I think drops him, too.

Recover miss (high = yes) (1d100=12)

Since I'm not 100% on whether he took out the last wight, though, I'll hold off posting 'post battle' actions.[/sblock]

Heinrich glances back and sees the wall. "We are running out of room"

1d20+17=32

The undead fall and the battlefield is quiet for a moment, except for Davel. The boy is curled into a fetal position and whimpers softly as he rock back and forth. Gemma hurries up to him, but the young man takes no notice of her. "Davel? Davel?" she asks, but he's barely responsive. The old woman shakes her head and looks up at you. "Thank you for dispatching those things ... whatever they were. But the boy's in shock. He'll be alright in time, I think, but I don't know how much he'll have to say in the meantime. You can try, but I'd appreciate if you'd not press too hard."

She looks at Tyrien. "Are you well, girl? You look a-chill. Should I send for the priest to lay hands on?"

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress


Tyrien set about recovering some arrows, not finding much luck with the ones that missed. She stood over the boy with Gemma consoling him and replied to the old woman, “I have been better, Gemma. Those creatures have a draining effect to their touch. I feel weaker and cold. So yes, I think a priest would be welcome as my limited spells cannot fix this sort of thing.”

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

The "Gemma" on the roof kicks the undead to the ground so that the group can loot it with the others. She touches her wide-brimmed hat, and her features melt and shift until the familiar, ginger archer is once again standing there.

As Gemma moves to check on Davel, Eanos walks his way down the wall, tapping his shoes again when he reaches the ground to conserve their magics, and quickly grabs up the arrows which survived. At the discussion of the cold undead touch, he cocks his head to one side, as if listening to someone.

"Issolatha's been watching what we're doing," he offers with a bit of a grin, "And it sounds like she may have a secret or two to share with me that may come in handy. I won't be able to cure the chill in your bones, Tyrien, but might have something to block it if we run into it again."

"Got no interest in breaking the broken, Gemma," Eanos agrees when she asks them to go easy on the boy, though he does squint slightly, studying the pair a moment. "But now that the shambling nasties aren't shambling, maybe you can tell us what you know about Rosa and Davel, yes?"

[sblock=ooc]Eanos is going to use his Detect Evil ability, with the cone taking in Gemma and Davel where they're at. He doesn't expect to find anything, but at this point, he's not sure just how intertwined this little plot goes, so better safe than and all that.

Level up = sweet

I'm planning to add Halt Undead and Death Ward to Eanos' spells known with the level up. He won't be able to cast Death Ward enough to cover all three folks, but with Dimensional Hop, he might be able to suppress effects for anyone who gets caught in melee.

I briefly considered having him learn Restoration, but the material component cost means we'd still have to run for supplies, anyway, so if we can do that, a priest seems just as fast if not faster. He has a Lesser Restoration scroll, but that's not going to do anything, unfortunately.

Eanos can't do anything with the armor or greatsword, but wouldn't mind carrying one or both of the daggers for the rest of the adventure. [/sblock]

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress


Tyrien set about looking at the equipment on the destroyed undead and noted the finely crafted armor and weapons. “Such spells that I might need are potentially expensive. We better take these weapons and armor to help pay for it. Heinrich, would you check to see if they are magical as well?”
