Beyond the Rerisen Tower(DM Iron Sky, Judge: renau1g)

Stalking the Prey, Round 10

The motes finally blast Kaz down and turn on Scarm, sending feathers flying.

They all disperse slightly and spiral down into the Stalker Fredrock just dropped. However, Fredrock hit it so hard when he dropped it for the final time, even their combined necrotic essences aren't enough to bring it back.

The other one vanishes, but Fredrock turns instinctively to guard his flank and interposes his shield just as it reappears and attacks. It doesn't protect him from the assault of its gaze.

[sblock=Light, Terrain]It's still daylight out, though it's hard to tell from the mist. The mist is lightly obscured, meaning anything more than 1 square away has concealment and anything more than 5 squares has total concealment.

The rocks difficult terrain. The cliffs are DC 18 to climb.[/sblock]

Scarmiglione shudders as Kaz succumbs to the dark energy of the motes. Somehow, he himself is spared. Picking up his walking stick, he considers the walking dead menacing Fredrock, but seeing the shreds of Yishim's and Salgyn's clothing still hanging off their bodies, cannot bring himself to destroy them. Instead, he aims--"SQUAWK!"--at the one remaining stalker, but the shower of sparks somehow leaves it unscathed.

[sblock=actions]Minor: pick up staff.

Minor: pick up potion.

Standard: blazing starfall centered on O9. Stalker is the only target. Vs reflex: 1d20+8=10 miss. Zone created, stalker takes 2 fire if it leaves the zone.

Those lights must have not wanted to face me Fredrock thinks confidently as he swings his hammer once more, taking down the last stalker once more. He then drops his hammer, pulls out a potion and drinks it, his wounds seem to heal slightly.

See to our fallen companions, I'll try to keep these two distracted--as long as that one stays de...err.. down.

[sblock=ooc]
Death saving throw = 20.

Kaz has 0 surges, but the text says "if you have no surges left expressed as a negative number your condition does not change", does that mean you can spend a surge when at 0 surges?

Stalking the Prey, Final Round

After Fredrock drops the last Stalker, it vanishes. A few moments later, its corpse appears lying a short ways away in the fog.

What was once Yishim and Salgyn lashes out at Fredrock, barely even bruising him.

Fredrock proceeds to hold "Yishim" and "Salgyn" down while Scarm ties them up.

There is time for a short breather, but it sounds like more of the rerisen dead are shambling through the forest in the distance, as if searching for the group...

[sblock=Eithal's Death Save]God, you don't want me making a save for you right now. *wince* Here goes nothing: 1d20=6, fail. [/sblock]

Once Fredrock finishes the grim task of fighting his rerisen friends, he sits on a nearby rock, oblivious to much around him at the moment. He idlely hands a healing potion to Scarm, but says nothing while trying to forget the last few moments.
