Message: <blockquote data-quote="pacdidj" data-source="post: 5296744" data-attributes="member: 86793">The party's words and actions seem to soothe the crazed wraith for a moment.Yes, I was king, it intones at Cyr's mention of the name Paerlanthas. I gave up my kingdom, my life, sacrificed my people to stop the Enemy...Turning to Jezebel it hisses, I see you are a capable warrior tiefling, and though you serve dark powers, they are not the Shadows of Oblivion that brought ruin to my kingdom...And you, the wraith's eyes fix themselves on Ferris, Never did I think to see the day when one of the beast people would show proper respect for mother Arthamis' waters. Perhaps you are not in league with the servants of the Unmaker. But...The wraith's gaze locks on Cyr once more as its face contorts with rage. YOU LIE!, it roars. You have trodden on the bones of my people and stolen from the offerings for the dead. You disturb our slumber and must be purged from this holy place, along with the servants of the Enemy![sblock=Cyr]Observing the wraith's reactions closely, you see that you were right in your hunch and that this is indeed the shade of the last king of the Kythiran Eladrin. You can tell that your knowledge of the king's past, combined with Ferris' reverence for nature, and Jezebel's bravado, have gone a long way to overcoming the wraith's natural hatred for the living and convincing it that you are not in league with its enemies. If you can convince the king that you are not tomb robbers and assuage its anger over the disturbance of the offerings, you can likely stop the violence.[/sblock]Reacting to the wraith's ire, the shambling skeletons fire a volley of arrows, two of which lodge in Sir Exsixten's side. The skinwalker lurches forward, taking a swipe at Jezebel that is handily deflected by her shield. And the wraith itself swoops down upon Sir Exsixten. It plunges its ice-cold spectral claw straight into the mechanical knights chest, its ghostly form unimpeded by shield or armor. The specter's touch seems to infuse the warforged with some of the mad king's own rage and confusion, and Sir Exsixten lashes out wildly at Cyr, the blade of his waraxe thankfully missing the deva.[sblock="Skill Challenge - Persuade the Mad King"]Primary Skills: Diplomacy, ReligionSecondary Skill: Insight It is clear that the undead of this tomb have mistaken you for something  you are not, and you may be able to persuade them that you are no  threat, or even to aid you against the true threat. Each round you can  spend a standard action to make a skill check or aid another roll toward  the completion of the skill challenge.You need 6 successes before 3 failures. You may roll Diplomacy to try to  reason with the king, Religion to try to recall something of Eladrin  religious beliefs or make universally acceptable signs of respect, or  Insight to try to gauge the king's reactions and determine if your  current conversational tactic is working. Each successful Diplomacy,  Insight or Religion check vs. DC 14 counts as a success in the  challenge, but insight may only be rolled by one character each round.  Additionally, no character can roll the same skill in two consecutive  rounds. You may also use other social skills, or any other skill you can think  of an appropriate use for, but as they are less relevant to the task at  hand, the DC will be 17. For each round that you participate in the challenge, please narrate  your character's words and actions associated with the skill check or  aid another roll. I may award skill check bonuses for excellent RP.Overall Progress: 4 successes, 1 Failure[/sblock][sblock="Enemy Actions, Tracking, and Stats"]Round 1Mad Wraith - Move to N50; <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" />Touch of Chaos vs. Sir X610 = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/Touch%20of%20Chaos%20vs.%20Sir%20X610%20%281d20+9=21,%202d6+4=14%29" target="_blank">hit</a> (vs. Will) for 14 psychic damage, and Sir X610 makes an MBA vs. Cyr = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662767/]MBA%20vs.%20Cyr%20%281d20+6=14,%201d12+4=15%29[/url]" target="_blank">miss</a>Skinwalker Skeleton - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" />Charge Jezebel w/ Putrefying Pummel = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662733/]Charge%20Jezebel%20using%20Putrefying%20Pummel%20%281d20+6=17,%201d8+7=10%29[/url]" target="_blank">miss</a>Eladrin Skeleton 1 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA vs. Jezebel = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662716/]RBAs%20vs.%20Jezebel%20%281d20+6=9,%201d20+6=15,%201d20+6=10%29[/url]" target="_blank">miss</a> Eladrin Skeleton 2 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA  vs. Jezebel = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/%5Burl=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662716/%5DRBAs%20vs.%20Jezebel%20%281d20+6=9,%201d20+6=15,%201d20+6=10%29%5B/url%5D" target="_blank">miss</a>  Eladrin Skeleton 3 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA  vs. Jezebel = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/%5Burl=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662716/%5DRBAs%20vs.%20Jezebel%20%281d20+6=9,%201d20+6=15,%201d20+6=10%29%5B/url%5D" target="_blank">miss</a>  Eladrin Skeleton 4 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA  vs. Sir X610 = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662720/]RBAs%20vs.%20Sir%20Exsixten%20%281d20+6=22,%201d20+6=24,%201d20+6=12%29[/url]" target="_blank">hit</a> for 3 damageEladrin Skeleton 5 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA  vs. Sir X610 = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/%5Burl=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662720/%5DRBAs%20vs.%20Sir%20Exsixten%20%281d20+6=22,%201d20+6=24,%201d20+6=12%29%5B/url%5D" target="_blank">hit</a>  for 3 damageEladrin Skeleton 6 - <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/br.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":branged:" title="Basic Ranged    :branged:" data-shortname=":branged:" />RBA  vs. Sir X610 = <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/%5Burl=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2662720/%5DRBAs%20vs.%20Sir%20Exsixten%20%281d20+6=22,%201d20+6=24,%201d20+6=12%29%5B/url%5D" target="_blank">miss</a>  TrackingPCs:Alnar - 31/31 HP Cyr - 24/26 HPFerris - 29/29 HPJezebel - 30/37 HP Sir Exsixten - 13/33 HP, bloodied Undead:Mad Wraith - ? Skinwalker Skeleton - ? Eladrin Skeleton 1 - ?Eladrin Skeleton 2 - ?Eladrin Skeleton 3 - ?Eladrin Skeleton 4 - ?Eladrin Skeleton 5 - ?Eladrin Skeleton 6 - ?  StatsMad Wraith - ?Skinwalker Skeleton - ?Eladrin Skeleton - ?[/sblock]</blockquote>
