Trapped in Hell's Basement (DM: Mal Malenkirk Judge:Covaithe)

Raiko slides by Patrin, kicks the door open and shifts forward, sword outstretched. "You have six second to surrender."

Paladin's Judgement[/sblock]

Sheng raises his upper lip in disgust at Hakura reaction. "Comradeship." he spits the word. "However your words are, somehow, remotely, logical. I think time will decide who is right, and who is wrong, and I'll be a fool to think that one can hurry time."

At the dragonborn's interjection, the monk waves a hand in his direction. "Get over it lizard. If I would have tried to harm you, you'll not be here muttering."

As Patrin commands the group forward, Sheng approaches from behind. As the door is being slam opened, he proclaims from his position. "Surrender? Slay them all, let the Gods sort them out!"



Spend two surges to be at 37/41

Haruka briefly smiles at Ashir's gratitude before coughing slightly and moving on to the next room. As everyone starts shouting, Haruka tries to look into the room. "Is there somebody there? Why are we stopping?"

[sblock=Raiko]You mean 41 hp, right? Not 44. I swapped you in front since you wanted to open the door[/sblock]

Raiko opens the door and sees a burly armored man aremd with spiked gauntlets activating a panel. Crossbow turrets drops from the ceiling at the end of the room.

On the sides are sturdy shelves stocked with arcane components, documents and other arcane paraphernalia... but it's on fire! The Archivist seems to have decided your assault warrented drastic actions.

[sblock=Initiative]

It's a machine; It is immune to attack with the psychic and poison keyword. It has resist 5 against everything else except attacks that have the following keywords : Weapon, Force or Acid
[/sblock]

"So much for surrender."

[sblock=ooc]Yes I meant 41.

I would suggest moving Raiko forward again with Max's ability, if only to keep him in front of everyone else.[/sblock]

"We don't have time for this," Haruka growls as she pushes her way past her allies. She glares at the room's occupant, "You're dead. You just don't know it yet." Torrents of shadow, flame, and crimson entropy pour from her hands and engulf the armored man, leaving him a charred mewling wreck.

[sblock=actions]Move: Move to H4, gaining concealment from Shadow Walk.
Minor: Designate the Archivist as my Prey, gaining +2 to hit and damage against him until the end of my next turn.
Standard: Vampiric Embrace the Archivist. Hits Will 14 (phew!) for 10 necrotic damage, and I gain 7 thp.
Action Point: Fiery Bolt the Archivist. Hits Reflex 19 for 19 fire damage, and anyone who happens to be adjacent to him takes 14 fire damage.
Free Basic Attack from Max for spending an AP: Eldritch Blast against the archivist. Hits Reflex 21 for 10 damage.

When the dust clears, the archivist has taken 39 damage.

I have Thievery +8, so I can take a crack at those crossbows once the archivist is done.[/sblock]

"Don't wate precious time! Deactivate the magical crossbows, we'll take care of this ignorant fool." Sheng orders and with his structurated moves, he produces an orb of acid that he promptly throws to the archivist. In his haste, his aim was quite off.

Rolls: Missed the guy-

ooc: sorry for the delay...I'll post later tonight

Ashir's face drops as he sees the books burning, he lets out a scream of rage and runs past his allies, knocking into them in his haste. He seems to care little for his own safety, running headlessly towards the flames.

"You bastard! My allies will make you pay for this. How could you do this to the precious materials?" the genasi screams.

He begins scanning the materials, picking out important pieces even as tears roll down his cheeks as he knows he will likely be unable to save everything.

[sblock=ooc]
Move: Run action to H2 - vs ref (1d20+4=20) Ashir takes 1 damage
