The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

Everyone (but Barrik) can see the outline of the door worked cunningly into the stone tree. The carved bark of the stone hides the thin lines of the doorway and whatever it uses for hinges must be on the other side. What is really missing and no one can see is a way to open the door.

Gulujak who is the only one to venture close to the tree gives it a sniff. "UGH! Something stink." The eidolon takes a step back and looks to the branches of the stone tree.

"There! You see? Dead bodies, lying among the branches They stink like..."

"Dead bodies? Stinking!" Torrent asks in slight shock. "Get back! They may be..." but her warning comes late and the "bodies" quickly jump down from among the branches. "...GHASTS!"

Two elven undead corpses (one male, one female) stand before the tree. There skin is a pale grey, withered and marred by ash. The remains of their clothes are also covered in soot and dried blood and are shredded almost into nothing but threads. Their red glowing eyes stare at the group hungrily.

[sblock=OOC] Roll INIT of course. You beat the INITs I am rolling next please post up. And if you get within ten feet (as Gulujak is, so please roll his saves as well as INIT) you need to make a FORT save DC 15 or become sickened. One per ghast.

Rolling Fantalass initiative

(( Initiative 1d20+1=14, male goes before Marda, he appears to have a +4 to initiative to Marda's +1))

After the ghast does his thing... Marda holds her axe in her sheild hand and takes up her holy symbol, "Gracenyes, I call forth your holy powers as a weapon against the walking dead!" A wave of holy energies race out form the dwarven cleric.

(( Channel Energy vs Undead 2d6+3=7 DC 14 Will save for half... I feel rather underwhelmed by that roll... blah ))

Aaron's blade in hand, he can feel something well up inside of him at the sight of these things. There was something about ghasts that he had learned, and tries to make sure that they others knew just what was in store for them with their foes...

"Bites are a deadly disease. And they paralyze..."

As if compelled to do so, his hand raises, palm towards the creatures. A wave of heat courses through his body, down his arm and shoots out at the male ghast with flames. The searing fire hits the creature fully in the chest, marring it in the symbol of Gracenys.

"Interesting..." is all that Aaron can say, as he wonders just where this new power came from.

Barrik curses in Orcish while Gulujak snarls... and coughs from the stench.

(EDITS, after my higher Inits: )
The half-orc casts a spell and the shining light of the heavens forms a golden shield in front of him before fading. He steps up in front of Aaron and Cyrstin, drawing his falchion and ready to meet the foes.

Gulujak coughs and stumbles, snarling through the sickness he feels. "Bad stink!" he two-headed beast loudly declares. "You not taste good, from smell, but bite you anyway!" It's impossible to tell which of the heads is shouting, but both lash out to bite the ghasts (one for each) as the wolf-thing lunges forward.

[sblock=OOC]
Barrik casts Shield and moves to M13, drawing his falchion as he goes. Obviously Gulujak failed his Fort saves, but as I recall, you can't get the sickened condition more than once and they don't stack to make a worse condition like fear does.
Gulujak 5-ft steps to M10 and attacks both Ghasts - Attack 1 against Male, Attack 2 against Female. I only rolled +3 for the Trips instead of +5, as I'm not sure that Sickened would affect them. The rules say "all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks" but Trip is no longer an Ability Check, instead becoming a CMB check and therefore a different animal... If you decide on the strict reading of the rules, HM, add 2 to my trips, which should make enough to trip the Male Ghast.

Your knowledge roll is enough FtF to get you all the ghast info.

Will be using this post to roll those saves. Don't worry Torrent's rolls will probably be the same, the way I've been rolling. And the ghast will probably fail taking full dmg from both.

DW it seems that a CMB is an attack roll. It says that you make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. And as I can find no condition that effects your CMB/CMD I believe they have it covered in that grouping. [/sblock]

Spirit knocks an arrow and fires it at the male ghast. It flies well wide as he fumbles it in his haste.

Aaron is sirprised as is the rest of the group when his fiery blast has no effect on the ghoul. The flames burn at the remainder of it's clothes but it looks to be unharmed. <has immunity to fire added to normal crunch>

The holy light that burst from Marda does effect him, but he seems focused on the big two-headed wolf and not the young priestess.

The male ghoul steps over towards Gulujak almost as if it wants to push the female away. "Fooddd! Minnee!" it screeches in a dry voice. As it claws and bites at the eidolon. Drawing blood the female cries in glee, "Sooo thirsty! Yes drink! Drink!"

Cyrstin does as she is told and casts a magical bearer around herself. The female ghast attacks the bloodied Gulujak in a frenzy, drawing more of the eidolon's precious blood.

Gulujak was snapping back with both heads and then abruptly stops. The paralyzing touch of the ghast taking effect on him(them?).

Torrent steps up angrily and holds her holy symbol forth. "Feast on THIS!" she screams causing a burst of holy energy shaped liked an angry ocean wave to crash into them.

As the wave of energy hits the trunk of the stone willow tree it starts to vibrate, as the hidden door slowly starts to open.
