[Adventure] Rage of the Savage Lands (DM: Dekana, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

[Dekana]

Jarel-karn stands up and take a deep breath. "Surrender the sword, and you will be spared. We will be able to find a way to bring peace back to this city. We can even handle the lizardfolk situation without a single drop of blood. Think of it, Commander."

Vahl answers, her voice distorted into deep echoes: "Peace... is not... enough..."

The darkness in the room intensifies and the entire hall is suddenly pitch black. A disturbing sound of tearing flesh comes from Vahl's direction. Moments later, the darkness recedes. Where Aliya Vahl, Commandant of Cay Harbor, once stood is now a tall figure wrapped in black robes, her face covered by a white mask. Shadows ooze off her form like dripping water. She bears long raven-like wings with dirty, black feathers. Some in the party have even met her before: she is the Avatar of Ravens.

"At last, we are reborn into this world!" the Avatar yells in triumph. She then directs her gaze at Eithal and Scarm. "Aliya has done well! Not only to allow us her body, but also to present you two before us. We will not ask for your obedience this time - the Council of Ravens has already determined your fate. We will reward your opposition with ETERNAL PAIN! YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE SPOKEN OF FOR EONS!"

The Avatar's feathery wings flap up, revealing that she still carries the black sword in one clawed hand. The fallen guards all lurch upward from the ground. Now that the darkness has receeded, the heroes can see that the guards' flesh has decayed enormously. The archers in back of the room appear to have broken necks, presumably from their collision with the blast of shadow.

OOC: Initiative: 28. Another high initiative roll from the bad guys. If you beat that, you can act now. Edit: Beatrice and Scarm are in range for Battlefront shift, if you want to use it (and if Luinnar will let you).

[stonegod]

You know this....uh, lady? Damen seems a bit winded from the magic.

OOC: Init : Nat 1

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: Higher than a 28!? If I want to roll higher than a 28, I'll need a 24-sided die! Got one!?

Eithal shrugs sheepishly at Damen, "It'a a lowng storah," she winks, "Won thayat'll tayke eyons tah tayell," she smiles and then turns toward the fowl apparition, lifting her axe, her expression quickly morphing from apology to rage,

"Yew wont Eeternal payne galie! Ole Eithal'll tayke whatevah yew cayan dish owt, an' give it bayack tew yew hundred tymes ovah!"​

 

[Velmont]

"Damned!" whispers Jarel-karn.

OOC: Can't beat 28

"The worst undesirables are always the ones that claim a previous acquaintance," says Scarmiglione wryly. He feels in his pocket for the golden statuette, hoping that the goddess it depicts might have a little spark left in her yet, but the object remains cold.

[sblock=ooc]Initiative
5(1d20) +9 = 14

If nobody else wants the shift I'll go to P6 solely to activate boots of the fencing master.[/sblock]

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Scarm can take the shift. Will post my turn soon

 

[Luinnar]

I don't know who you are lady, and I don't think I care! the old women shouts.

 

[Dekana]

The rerisen guards lurch toward the heroes, two heading for Beatrice and two for Jarel-karn.

OOC: [MENTION=44459]Luinnar[/MENTION]: One of the rerisen guards (minions) hits you with an attack. Do you want to use Vengeance is Mine on it? Edit: Ah, and it's a reaction ability, so you should know the effect of the attack. You take 12 damage, and you cannot gain THP and you regain 5 fewer hit points than normal from healing effects (save ends both).

You ain't getting me that easy punk! Beatrice shouts, slashing at the monster. Get him birdie!

OOC: Yep I'll use it 28 vs AC 16 damage and Scarm moves up to his speed and makes a MBA against it as a free action.

 

[Mewness]

OOC: Scarm's MBAs are terrible
