[LPF] Coils of Flame

[Maidhc O Casain]

Arianna manages to score a couple more scratches on Lesaar. Drev puts the smack down on another of the nuisance Mephits, and Anaerion covers the remaining two with glowing golden dust, blinding them in the process. Heinrich's attack on Anaerion dispels another of his Mirror Images with a *pop*. Elenka frees Drev to pursue the heavy hitters and moves herself to help with the blinded Mephits. Ellamin continues his rousing support of the crew and maintains his invisibility, while curing himself of the damage done by the latest Fireball.

GM: OK, I think I got everything but I ran out of time before I could get to the Bad Guys actions so they're up. Should be able to get that update done tonight. I know I mentioned that there are islands of rock floating in the lava, but thought I'd remind you here (they're the darker spots on the map). For those brave enough, you can get to the fight by jumping from rock to rock . . .

Lesaar stays put now that he's in the lava, again delivering three quick spear thrusts . . . all of which Arianna easily avoids. Just when s/he thinks she's safe, though, that long tail comes lashing up out of the molten rock to deliver her a stinging slap to the chest! The tail wraps quickly around her hovering form and begins to squeeze.

The tiny Mephit squaring off against the huge wood-man zips around as he gesticulates wildly, shouting arcane words in Draconic, and thrusts out a hand. A darkly scintillating bolt of energy lances out to strike Drev squarely in the face. Drev feels his energy being sapped as the force spreads rapidly to cover his face and body.

One of the nuisance Mephits cries out in their strange, gravelly/bubbly tongue, and is answered by the other. Both of them drop to the ground, where they dissolve into pools of molten rock and begin rolling across the cavern floor toward the party members there.

[sblock=Heinrich]The Mephits yell out the Ignan equivalent of "Wondertwin Powers, Activate! Form of . . . Lava! Shape of . . . Lava!"[/sblock]

[sblock=Combat!]
Lesaar hits Arianna/Tek with a tail slap, and successfully grapples/constricts.
Andgronakraks (casting Defensively) hits Drev's Touch AC with a Gloomblind Bolt. Drev needs to make a Reflex Save (DC 15) or be blinded for one round.
The two nuisance Mephits are now 3' diameter pools of lava, rolling across the floor at a blazin' 10' per round.

Heinrich refrains from letting the magma mephitis know he understood them. He contemplates on what the strengths and weaknesses are of the opposing team. [knowledge checks on the salamander then magma mephitis: 1d20+11=14, 1d20+11=12] (dang those rolls suck.) then with ond hand with his dagger strangely in his hand and his wand in the other, he moves 25 feet to G,7 and shoots his wand at Lasaar 1d4+1=5

 

[sunshadow21]

Elliman continues his story as he moves to a better vantage point to observe the ongoing fight. As he does so, he makes his voice move as though he was moving to and beyond the mephit leader, hoping to force the creature into choosing who to act against in a bid to help out the wood man.

The Lava Shrine (Updated)

 

[jackslate45]

Anaerion is ready to cast the spell that Elnka has used earlier, but upon hearing Arianna's cry his attention is turned else where.

Looking at Elenka, he says "Now, I think that spell you used earlier is in need of a repeat, won't you agree? I am moving to assist Arianna."

Moving quickly accros the battle field, Anaerion looks like he is going to jump directly into the lava. However, with a blink of an eye, Anaerion focus his teleportation magic to cross the great lava reef, appaering just out of reach of the two grappling creatures.

Now that he is in range, he takes a quick glance at the statue next to him before preparing to free Arianna.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

"Why do wizards always have to be enigmatic?" mutters Elenka. "Why can't they just say, 'Now would be a good time for that pit spell,'?"

The summoner scowls and shoots a glare towards the pools of lava rolling slowly across the chamber floor. As suggested, however, Elenka summons a pit into existence directly where the two pools of lava are.

Combat (Round 04, Late-Round Update)

• Drev took 20 damage (15 L, 5 NL) from the Gloomblind Bolt. Not blinded, though.
• The only reference I found to making Fly checks when injured is from the skill, and it specifies 'using wings.' That's why I haven't been asking Arianna for checks when she's injured (wouldn't have mattered until this last round anyway). Regardless, Drev is still flying and is not blind, so just need his action to finish the round.
• Ellamin Bluff vs Andgronakraks Sense Motive: Ellamin wins, Mephit fooled.
• Anaerion reckons the statue could be a construct . . . but it's not. It's a huge metal statue of a snake-headed humanoid, plainly very old. It looks like lava has been shaped and cooled around the legs and feet to turn the humanoid form into a crude representation of a Salamander.
• Although it appears everyone is aware, this has been misunderstood before and I want to make sure there are no misunderstandings: HP posted in the combat block below is damage taken, not HP remaining. I'm not suggesting different actions, just making sure everyone's on the same page.
• Finally, you're doing a great job with using the spell effects and other tokens on the map, GE! I appreciate the help keeping it current.
  
  You can change a lot of stuff on the tokens by double clicking them on the map - for example, you could double click the Grease token you used for the pit once you'd added it, and changed the title to Pit using the drop down that appears. This changes the tool-tip that comes up. You can also adjust transparency using that slider, and lots of other pretty cool stuff.
  
  On a related note, if anyone needs new spell effects tokens let me know and I'll get something whipped up and added to the folders. (I added a "Pit" token and changed the one on the map).

GM: Just Drev to finish the round!
