[QUOTE="dimsdale, post: 6010002, member: 79956"] [GM]This is first combat, and it's a biggie. To make it easier for the DM, please describe in detail the powers powers your character use.. This will help me in two ways. 1. Combat posts will move at a quicker pace. 2. Quite frankly, you have a greater understanding of the rules and power descriptions the I do. Finally, it also help when you provide a summary of everything that occurred during the characters turn. Also, please provide an updated statblock if you haven't done so already. [/gM] As the monk misjudges his attack, just catching himself from causing himself damage, he notices that the priest who was his target didn't even flitch. Drew notices upon further inspection that the priest is in some kind of a trance, oblivious to everything around him. Looking at the others the monk can see, the same observation is true. Before he can tell his allies, the dark orb targets him. The large eye of the orb seems to gaze right through him causing him to shutter. Then one of the stalks basts him with negative energy. The attack leaves him breathless. Another stalk takes aim at Kamotz. The paladin's wolf cry quickly turns into a plea for help as fear grips him from head to toe.
