[QUOTE="Brakkart, post: 2350173, member: 19617"] [b]DM's Log of Session Thirty Two[/b] As the battle continued to rage, so the electrum horrors engaged in melee with Jebodiah and Ki did well, hurting both of their foes, while the one fighting Zamtap some distance away still couldn't get past the clerics considerable armour. In the thick of the fighting, Ash destroyed one elctrum and badly damaged another, his sword wreaking havoc on the gears and cogs inside the creatures. Ki tapped Jeb with his wand, but again it failed to have much effect, the monk muttering about having bought a defective one. Scuttling to one side, the damaged gold horror further up the corridor blasted lightning into the trio of Ash, Ki and Jeb, succeeding only in wounding the dwarf though. elsewhere Zamtap and Gylippus were not having much luck in their battle, with only the cleric able to hit thier foes and then only barely denting its carapace. With the last of his enraged strength, Jebodiah swung his axe but missed twice, as his body began to really feel the aftereffects of his battle rage. Further back in the corridor, Aeron moved up to where he could view the battle, and seeing the parties main fighters beginning to grow weary, he cast haste on the three of them, to speed the fight up. With the parties main combatants sped up from the haste spell, they laid into the horrors, though it took Jebodiah a while to get back into the swing of things, as he struggled with exhaustion, his own body defying his attempts to inflict further damage on the clockwork collectives soldiers. Still he had more effect than Zamtap and Gylippus, as they began to move back towards the rest of the group, pursued in ernest by the remaining electrum horrors in their passageway. To try and speed things up further, seeing how weak some of the party looked, Aeron cast another Defenestrating Sphere into the mix, it sending any horror it came into contact with bashing off the ceiling and walls, shrapnel scattered across the corridor floor. As the group finished off the horrors they had been fighting, so Ash spotted more and flew down another corridor to do battle with them, wishing to clear every one of the creatures from this part of the complex, as the group needed to rest and didn't want any of the clockwork creatures in the vicinity while they did just that. Joining Ash in his one man crusade, Ki ran down to aid him, fighting alongside the paladin as the battle turned ugly, one of the electrum horrors sacrificing itself by triggering a ceiling block collapse trap onto the pair, with the acrobatic monk easily avoiding it, and the walking tank paladin getting struck badly by falling masonry.

Gylippus stood and watched, enjoying the spectacle, whilst Aeron used more spells to renew the haste on the two fighting, and damage a gold horror with magic missiles.

Leaving him to his well earned sleep, the rest decided on watch rota and settled down for a rest also. [B][U]DM's Notes:[/U][/B] Well at 59 consecutive rounds of combat, that is by far and away the longest fight I have ever run. I decided to write it up a bit differently this time, as I was getting a bit bored of the "round by round" style narrative. Let me know what you prefer reading though, cos if people prefer the other style then I'll go back to it. The group finally got to rest (and got XP too, cos I never award it in the middle of a fight, no matter how long the fight is!). [/QUOTE]
