[Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

Shards of pain erupt in Gray's mind once more when the echo appears next to him. However, Gray has more pressing matters to attend to, now that he sees movement coming from the acidic blob. Protecting himself with an intense wave of heat as he flows through the landscape, the shapeshifter attacks the jelly once more with flying fists. Apparently, though, the jelly has other ideas on how the combat should end, and just before Gray could connect with his attack, the jelly flattens out, "ducking" out of the way of the monk's attack. Slightly off balance from the deceptively fast dodge, the monk's concentration was broken just long enough to keep him from connecting with the elemental energies within him, and this left him without the ability to instantly sidestep his foes.

Sabynha, seeing the spirit pursued and engaged by a healthy Rain, decides to switch focus and help Grey take care of the now-moving Jelly. Continuing the dance, and hoping for swift victory, she flings her twirling form at the goo in the hallway with abandon.

Tired and just about out of fight, Sabynha flails ineffectively at the creature, blades meeting only air. She spits a vistani curse at it between puffs of breath.

OOC: In that case I would like to push the echo into the stalagmites, which should destroy it.

Click to expand...

... but as the spirit echo reforms the impact from the blast sends it reeling into the sharp stalagmites behind it where it shatters like glass.

Rain closes in on the still reeling Mad Spirit, dazed once again (a condition it is becoming almost fond of) and shatters it completely in a similar fashion with another burst of force, the tiny shards that splinter away fade to tinkling echoes as the spirit is finally released from its suffering in this world.

The echoes it has summoned whine and moan with despair as their caller is banished.

As Gray moves to finish the ochre jelly, who was battered into to the passageway by Wat's thunderous assault, the spirit he ignores screeches in fury, the pain inside his head intesifying to blinding proportions, causing his attacks against the all but defeated blob of jelly to flail about with wild inaccuracy at the precise moment that Sabynha charges in with her dagger, surely a strike that would have finished the lamentable creature. A knock from Gray's hand upon her arm jolts the dagger free from her own hand, causing it to turn in the air (in slow motion of course) and enter the body of the jelly, hilt first, where it is engulfed completely by the acidic goop creature with a plop! A bubble surfaces which erupts with a loud burping noise.

Terrified to be impaled on stalagmites, on her back, on the ground, Zuri blinks and teleports herself closer to Gray and Sabynha. Spitting blood on the floor, she manages to reload her hand crossbow in record time, raising it to fire through the space between Sabynha and Gray, to hit the huge pile of ooze beyond them.

The bolt flies true, striking the ooze just so....


[sblock=Actions] Zuri takes 3 psychic damage for starting her turn beside the echo.
She uses FEY STEP to teleport to G15.
She attacks the Jelly with her hand crossbow and Disheartening Strike: 1d20+6, 1d6+4=[17, 6], [1, 4]) (Note that I rolled a bunch of test dice at this point in order to be sure that I was supposed to add the bracketed numbers for totals (these are labelled test on the dice rolling site)) 23 = HIT and damage is... 5. So close! But wait! There's more! Zuri's a rogue! So SNEAK ATTACK ! 2d6+2=10 Take that OOZE! Total of 15 damage against the ooze[/sblock]

Zuri blinks out of existence only to reappear closer to the slowly waking ooze that rises up in fury intent on punishing those next to it for the violence it had been subjected to. The spirit next to her screeches in frustration as she escapes, causing the piercing sound in her head to intensify. Firing a desperate shot from the ground the arrow reaches a small, nearly invisible glob of cells within the goop. Whatever the bolt struck has a quite spectacular effect, causing the jelly to explode, covering both Gray and Sabynha in disgusting jelly, though the acid of its stomach remains bubbling and burping on the stone floor.

The spiritual echos, now devoid of a summoner, run chaotically about the cave. Rain cuts down one with her blade and Wat the other with a ray of lightning.

It takes several minutes for the echos of the cave to finally fade.

Wat takes a moment to let the ringing in his ears subside before checking on the others.

"Everyone all right?"

Sabynha collapses in a huffing-puffing, slime-covered, sweaty heap, her sword clanging to the ground beside her, still in hand. "*huff* Yes... *puff* I am... *huff* ...I am fine."

She was also more than a little embarrassed by her apparent ineptitude during the fight, though she tried to chalk it up to the disorienting echoes in this chamber. Once her breath came back to her, she began to wipe the slime from her clothing before it could do any further damage. *schlorp* *splat*

She begins to softly hum a vistani tune while she cleans up. The tune echoes softly in the rest of the chamber, making it audible but pleasant to all her friends as well.
