Round 9
Grakk and Vixo pound the undead cleric, tearing great hunks of charred and rotting flesh away with their weapons, while moving to encircle him again.
Magnus concentrates on blocking out the pain from his wounds, while directing the flaming sphere with his will again.
Morvannon moves closer again, firing a spell wildly. Gritting his teeth, he tries again, and this time his blast strikes true, inflicting yet more damage. This time, it is too much, and Slardazial's eye sockets blaze furiously with incandescent rage for a moment, then go blank. His body topples to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
"Ha hah!" crows Kamotz in triumph. "Thus perish all enemies of Lauto! Miss, are you all right? Hang on, we're coming to, uh..."
His voice trails off as he catches sight of the room's central pit. The foul green liquid begins to roil and bubble with energy. A ghastly, sickly white glow gathers beneath its surface, and an echoing, gasping, multi-voiced groan escapes from it, like a dozen damned souls wailing in torment. After a moment, the groan and the glow fade, dwindling, then suddenly winking out, leaving the chamber lit only by the flickering torches on the walls. The pit's waters stand still and cold and without their former malice.
"Look out! Behind you!" screams the girl, still chained to the altar, looking past Kamotz. As well she might, for Slardazial's body has risen again. His eyes glow, no longer red but now the same sickly green as the pool just a moment gone. He begins to groan; the same long, breathless, multi-voiced sound that came from the pool a moment ago, and whips his sword in a great arc. It catches Vixo unawares and opens a long, bloody wound across his chest. Vixo responds reflexively, gashing the cleric's arm and ducking beneath the scything backswing, a hand clamped to his bleeding chest.
"Desist, fiend! The light compels you!" Vrrsk't bellows, wading immediately back into the fray, striking another blow with his glowing flail.
"Yeah! What he said!" Kamotz echoes, but the beam of sacred light that flashes from his holy symbol goes wide.
[sblock=ooc]Grakk hits for 15, and grants +2 to hit TSNT.
Vixo hits with riposte strike for 19 damage, and marks Slardazial, overwriting divine challenge.
Magnus uses second wind, and moves the sphere around.
Morvannon misses, then spends his AP to hit with eldritch blast, dropping Slardazial. Vrrsk't is no longer grabbed.
On what would be the start of his next turn, Slardazial rises again with more HP. He takes 9 damage from the flaming sphere. He attacks Vixo twice with double attack, triggering the riposte, which hits AC 27 for 7 damage. Slardazials attacks Crit for 17 and 15 vs. AC misses. He tries to grab Vrrsk't with tentacles: nat 1 misses.
Vrrsk't divine challenges, then shifts N and uses Holy strike: 21 vs. AC hits for 9+5 damage.
Kamotz uses sacred flame; 14 vs. reflex misses.
