Psais makes his way up the corridor, following his companion's lead to get a better view of the chamber, he studies the large statue hoping to glean some useful information, but doesn't recognise the subject.

[sblock=ooc]Retconned the above post. I'll just take the move action.[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

The group moves into the room. You feel something unnerving as if something is not right in this area. Only Yimayngurr has a chance to react though.


[sblock=ooc]
So I'll be running the combat using the Malenkirk Rules. All monsters go then all PCs. Combat will be resolved in order that you post in (after Yimayngurr gets his first action and then baddies go). I'll post monster hp/stats/MBA's for you. Please let me know if you need more explanation of it.

Initiative:

Yimayngurr - 18
Bad guys - 16
Everyone else - <16

init (1d20+5=16)[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain]
The light sources are torches on the map, 5 square illumination, but the ceiling is beyond the torchlight.[/sblock]

 

[On Puget Sound]

grigo is wearing a sunrod strapped to his headband - bright light 20, so we can probably see the ceiling. He has not yet tried his Fade Away power while wearing or carrying a light source, so we're not certain what will happen if he does, though DoM had opined that the light would disappear along with him.

 

[renau1g]

As Grigo moves around the corner you see bodies almost molded into the ceiling, the stonework changed, looking more like living flesh with many appendages (tentacles) that are grasping the bodies of nearly a half-dozen necromancers, and more than a couple zombies. The bodies are slowly being squeezed by the tendrils and the blood spilled down to the floor below. As you watch in horror, the bodies are absorbed by the fleshy ceiling grow slightly in size. It cannot reach the floor, but seems to be drawing energy from the portal as every couple of seconds it flares and the 'ceiling' grows a bit.

[sblock=Grigo]
If Darwin allowed the strapped to headband light source I'll still allow it although in my games I would disallow or impose a penalty on attack rolls as this bright object keeps getting in the way. Anyways, that's neither here nor there. If you Fade Away it will fade with you as it's part of your gear.

This is certainly some sort of Far Realm monstrosity.

[pacdidj]

Drawing in a sharp breath to steel his nerves, Yimayngurr strides forward into abhorrent "living" chamber. Unsure what to do about the living stone ceiling, and lacking any other apparent target, Yimayngurr quickly scans his surroundings for hidden foes, then studies the writhing, fleshy ceiling, looking closely for any weaknesses. As he looks around the room, he readies himself to respond to hidden threats.

OOC: About how far up is the ceiling in number of squares?

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=ooc]
Ceiling is 15 squares up. [/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

[sblock=Tactics]I suggest that the strikers/defenders form a perimeter for Grigo to perform the ritual with minimal interruption. He's our "Ring Bearer" right now. We can't stem the threat unless we close that portal. [/sblock]

Drawing in a sharp breath to steel his nerves, Yimayngurr strides forward into abhorrent "living" chamber. Unsure what to do about the living stone ceiling, and lacking any other apparent target, Yimayngurr quickly scans his surroundings for hidden foes, then studies the writhing, fleshy ceiling, looking closely for any weaknesses. As he looks around the room, he readies himself to respond to hidden threats.

As the half-orc enters the room, the ceiling begins to writhe and undulate, and the portal flares as a half-dozen small tentacled horrors emerge. Yimayngurr hurls a javelin at the creature that appears to be aimed true, but as it strikes the creature, it passes through as if it was made of air.

The creatures begin to swarm the heroes, both Yimayngurr and Eithal feel the deadly touch of the monsters as they are unable to fully dodge the many tentacles.

[sblock=Yimayngurr's attack]
In the future please roll the dice for the readied action - vs ac; dmg (1d20+6=16, 1d6+4=6) just hits Drone 93, but it uses its encounter power to negate the damage save (1d20=18).

Note: As the enemies were coming from the portal I moved you so you would have cover against from it.

[On Puget Sound]

Grigo stamps his foot and the stone floor seems to ripple as a rumbling sound bursts forth. One of the drones is hurled backward into the room.

Thunderwave, affecting L31 -N29, hitting only drone 55. hit with a 14, for 6 damage and push the drone to J27 to make a nice area attack target.

Then move one step to K33, taking cover behind Eithal to prepare his next spell.
