No I have not. But you might want to put your pants back on if you want to keep fighting evil.


Nebin looks down just to make sure, then sticks his tongue out at the Wizard and waggles it.

It's not nice to detect thoughts on a friend you know, besides I could always do a minor illusion of what I saw you and a certin WoTC bigwig doing at the company Chirstmas party last year in the broom closet.

OOC Welcome back PC ! and good luck on your new company. /ooc

Sigh... Krusk, no run yet. Stay here, play quiet game until Mialee and dwarf-man do something.

Kazak, I could cast invisibility, but I'd rather just levitate Lidda... it's more economical, you know, and she could hide in the shadows of the ceiling.

(assuming there are any... PC? Is the ceiling shrouded in shadow?)

She'd be better off taking potshots from the ceiling, at any rate. She'd be out of harm's way, unless they decide to throw some spears at her.

"It's the best option. The only problem is getting Lidda's attention without alerting yonder hobgoblins to our presence."

Wild stab in the dark (something that rogues are good at ), but I'd guess Lidda.

Jozan watches Regdar froth at the mouth and wrestle the armor. If he, Ma’Var and Eberk actually manage to pin the thing, Jozan will wedge the mirror in place.

Okay!

Lidda, you glance back to see if everyone is in position. They aren't. Instead, you see Mialee's long graceful elven fingers beckoning you back. In fact, she seems sort of frantic. I wonder why? A quick glance back at the monsters shows you that two of them are arguing strongly, and one of them points in your general direction. They are saying something about "..tell you I heard noise! Those damn bone-snappers must be out and around. Togget is going to have your skin pulled from you when he finds out. Now, you gonna tell him?"

Mialee, you (and Kazak and Krusk) see Lidda crawling back towards you. She moves like water rolling downhill, slipping through shadows almost like a wraith. Tordek can't see; he's in back of you, contemplating the rock, an angry sneer still painting his face as he contemplates bloodshed.

Meanwhile, Regdar clobbers the armor again. Its chain flails wildly at Jozan, but once again it is almost ripped in two by the impact against the wall. The armor doesn't separate, though, and Eberk's hammerblow smashes the ground next to its head as it twists and writhes.

Ma'Varkith, you focus your mind until your thoughts become a razor-sharp spearhead of psionic energy. You let it fly, sliding out from between your eyes into the creatures helm. And there's nothing.. no echo, no wince, no shielding. It's almost like mentally attacking a table. The smell of burning metal is lost in the smell of the spiked chain, and your tattoos change color slightly as your eyes refocus.

And as they do, Jozan leans forward, holding the mirror above its badly battered, visored head..

and it ceases movement.

Kerwyn's sigh is evident from the other side of the room. Jozan, there is no convenient place to rest the mirror on its helm at this angle. Your arm will get tired soon.

Far down the hall, the rest of the iconics are gathered around the pit. They can hear Devis talking to himself back near the intersection. Hennet and Alhandra are panting slightly, as is Nebin; Nebin's panmting is slightly suspect, though, and he holds his crossbow in a slightly suggestive manner.

Vadania cautiously moves over to the pit. Something is wrong; even though you can feel the heat from Naull's Flaming Sphere you can see nothing but darkness. The pit must not be deep, it must have...

But before you can complete that thought, a red-hot chain snaps up from the darkness, wraps around your neck, and pulls you into the pit. Your scream of alarm is cut off as if a door closed.

Actions, heroic ones?

By Glimmergolds Great hairy Ballocks ! What happened to Vadania ! O heck here I go being the hero again.......Come on Al, Henn into the breach !!!!!!!!

Nebin tightins his hold on his crossbow and leaps into the chasm yelling a Gnomish curse about a Cat and hot oil.

Vadania, your hair partially protected you, and the spikes on the chain scraped more than pierced your skin.. but the red-hot metal pressed against your neck still hurts like screaming razors. You took 6 points of damage just now. I'll describe what you see, including the brave Nebin, when more people have described what they're going to do!

Regdar will go behind the armor and remove it from neck down, with the helmet still in Regdars hand, then Jozan can put the mirror propped on the floor in front of the helmet.... Then pound the crap out of the body.

Regdar say die, you die!

Pcat, is the ceiling shrouded in shadows? Also- some of the spells I have in mind have verbal components. Do I believe (by WIS check or whatever), from our position, that I can cast them and not be heard by the uglies?

(whispering)
Lidda! New plan- look upwards. If they're given a chance to pull that, we'll all share the same class from now on: smear of goo. What I'd like to do is this- cast an illusion of a plank over the chasm, and cast a spell of jumping on Tordek. Then I'll levitate you to the ceiling. You're to cut the rope, but hold it steady, so they don't think something is amiss. If you think you'll be seen up there, I'll cast invisibility on you as well. At a given time, we'll let them know we're here. We make ranged attacks as they pull the rope and run over here. I expect to kill at least one or two with the illusion of the plank. After that, Tordek and Krusk will jump to the other side to fight while Lidda, Kazak and I make ranged attacks from here.

If anyone has objections, speak now.

***SIGH***

That would have worked earlier and without pain, if the others had pinned the armor as they were up to immediately... Guess that got lost in the battle somehow... *shrug*

“I bet the armor is just bluffing, ya!”

Kerwyn tries to play over the embarassing situation, while taking out a rope and moving up to the battle scene once again, picking up his scattered equipment on the way.

“Look at my wounds, the thing would've killed me, if I would've tried again... and I still had my own mirror just in case...”

“Well then, hold it in place, while I affix the mirror! Doesn't look like you want to be holding it for all eternity...”

Using part of the rope, Kerwyn affixes the mirror to the helmet very firmly.

“Now put the armor on the ground, carefully!”

Eberk gapes at the armor's sudden stillness, and then at the mirror in Jozan's hand. He looks as if he's about to apologize for his earlier crack about Jozan's prettyboy face. You think he'd rather eat toad goulash. But he's an honorable dwarf.

Fortunately, Moradin saves his trusted servant from an ignonimous fate with a flash of insight. As Eberk looks from Jozan to the mirror to the armor, his eyes narrow.

"Okay, prettyboy. If you knew the mirror was gonna stop this heap o metal from whippin that chain around, that must mean it started off facing the mirror or something. I don't recollect you carryin a mirror around here before."

He glares around at Regdar, Jozan, and Ma'Varkith. "Which one of you decided to go turnin your back to a suit o' armor with a chain and go disturbin the mirror it was lookin at? Naw, don't tell me. Only one of you got that much of an interest in his reflection."

Glower glower. Huffy sigh.

"All right. Line up for Moradin's fiery first aid, them's as needs it!"

Seeing something weird going on, Hennet uses his Summon Monster II scroll to conjure up a heat resistant Dretch to help Vadania and commands it to attack the armor (regardless of whether he can see the armor, his allies or his minion in the pit). He summons the Dretch so that it would be about 6' down the pit--if the pit really is deep then he'll apologize to the dretch (and Alhandra, who is undoubtedly going to be mad about devil summoning) later.

Then he'll tie a rope or use Vadania's if it is secure and try climbing down next round.

"Pit spawn, drag that chain-wielding armor back to hell with you!"

"Krusk think smear of goo prestige class sound like bad deal. Bet those ENBoarders wrote it up already."

"Plan sound good, but Krusk still not get why we attack. Someone read Good in PHB for Krusk."

“Ahhh... That's the explanation, why it didn't work for me! Jozan pulled it off, only he could place it back!”

Kerwyn shows Eberk a large wound at his right arm, where the leather is still smoldering a bit.

“I've felt the fiery touch of these chains. Now if Moradin's fire can undo the wounds, I would be grat
