Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

Amanu's magic missles streak out and strike the one fighting Marcus. It gives a cry, then disperses into the phlogiston.

Grillon attempts to distract the creatures attacking Theryndil, but his attacks are as ineffective as the thri-kreen's. Akodo's crossbow bolt sails right through the creature fighting Chjargal.

Chjargal attempts to hit his foe again, but the creature's reflexes are very sharp. He is hit again, and more of his soul is torn away (3 Int damage).

The other three undead continue attacking Theryndil. He dodges one attack, but the second one appears to tear his soul from his body. As his body begins falling to the deck, the third ghostlike form flies into him. Theryndil jerks back upright, his eyes glowing red with hate and staring directly at the thri-kreen.

Marcus attempts to aid Chjargal, but even Cramp has its off days. Lareth hits the bugbears opponent with a few missles (15 damage).

Grillon will continue to attempt to distract the monsters as it seems he is unable to harm them physically.

OOC: Gru, I lost the thread with my spell list. Was it in the RG?

Marcus will continue to attack the same creature he was, but he will move to a better position thereafter to make use of any available attacks in passing or a possible cleave. Marcus saw what was happening with Theryndil, but was helpless to do anything about.

Frustrated that his friend may be possessed, or worse, Marcus called out, "Team, try and bring Theryndil down gently, we needt o be able to revive him.

I can't find it in either the OOC thread or this one. I found a message of mine asking for it on the third page of this thread. Last I recall we don't have a RG thread yet, so you may need to start from scratch.

Oh, that's just perfect. Akodo grimaces and his ears twitch as he drops his crossbow and casts yari of air. He then wades into combat, hoping that his magical agility and quickness will be enough to keep him from getting killed.

OOC: The yari will last 5 minutes, deals 1d8+2 damage per level, and functions as a +1 weapon for purposes of overcoming DR. Akodo moves from his current position to I5, next to Chjargal.

Although Amanu suspects that it will have no effect, nonetheless he will try to hold person Theryndil for an extended period.

Must...flee...must...move...the bugbear thinks as he tries to pry himself away. Chjargal's survival instinct takes over where his mind begins to fail and using the wings of his gadabout, the druid escapes as best he can.

Sorry for the delay, folks. I forgot to post before a two-day business trip, and then didn't have any time during the conference.

Amanu attempts to hold Theryndil, but he resists the attempt. Akodo conjures a magical yari. Grillon continues to swing at the remaining incorporeal opponents, hoping to distract them from the other crew.

While Chjargal retreats out of reach, the ephemeral creature moves on towards Marcus. He pounds it on the way in (14 damage), but he is hit by the soul-tearing hands (5 Int damage). Marcus steps to a better position and swings again, blasting a second spirit out of existence (13 damage).

Theryndil draws his masterwork longsword and swings at the thri-kreen, hitting a light blow (2 damage). The thri-kreen appears confused by the attack, and raises its claws defensively.

The two remaining spirits attack Grillon. One misses, while the other touches the derro cleric momentarily (1 Int damage).

Lareth yells, "There's two more coming on the starboard side!" He launches a flight of magic missles at the newcomers, who are headed directly towards his position.

GoldenEagle, don't forget Grillon can spontaneously cast cure spells, which injure undead.

Akodo moves towards the nearest of the ghost-like creatures and takes a swipe at it with the yari.

OOC: +2 to attack, 1d8+2 damage, effectively +1 for purposes of DR
