[Adventure] Trouble in Moonwatch (Judge: THB) - Part II

[renau1g]

"Hmmm. That was easy. Let's see how well this works. Sheeva muses as her blast drops the other archer.

River his already praying as Faell. He send a bolt of light over Valahad enemy hoping it guide his strike and heals his wounds, but the man ducks the light. "Wait a moment, I'll heal you." he whispers to Faell.

Valahad's last strike leads them closer to victory, and the tieflings prayer saps his will to fight. The kalashtar waits until for another of River's prayer's to strengthen his will to fight and he strikes at the cultist again, but the warrior parries the blade.

As the arrow strikes Feall his form wavers and becomes insubstantial. A moment later he winks from sight, only to reappear next to River.

[sblock=Mowgli]
You're just squishy and such a delectable target...

Don't worry though, I've got a new target here
[/sblock]

Crouching as he quickly moves to get a better view of Valahad, Pok readies another mental onslaught.

Spewing forth from the kalashtar's armor, a vast array of poisonous stinging insects harass the foes. One of the attackers spots the illusion almost instantly, but the other causes himself a small amount of injury smacking himself in the face.

The tiefling growls as the archers fall to the drow. "GET THAT SHIFTER!" he shouts and the warriors withdraw from Valahad, anxious to drop the healer. One charges and slashes River.

The other steps away from Valahad and slams his blade into the shifter, but is burned by the divine light in response.

The tiefling then hurls a ray of darkness that saps the little strength left in his body and River drops to the ground.

Feall, just on the verge of finding renewed hope in River's whispered statement, groans in pain and frustration when his friend goes down. Sheeva's shout stiffens his wilting spine and he quickly throws a shroud over the Tiefling. Focusing his will, he sends tendrils of shadow into his foe's psyche; the man's paranoia quickly builds to almost unbearable proportions and he glances around wildly for an unseen enemy.

The assassin quickly presses his advantage; he comes out of his teleportation next to the hated slayer of his friend and lunges at the Tiefling . . . sadly, his target manages to sidestep and Feall misses. He quickly steps back and vanishes in a cloud of inky darkness.

[sblock=Actions]Free: Assassin's Shroud on Tiefling
Standard: Nightmare Shades vs. Will (1d20+9=23) for Psychic Damage (2d8+11+1d6.minroll(2)=28) and he grants CA to Feall UEMNT.
Action Point
Standard: Teleport to L9 as part of Inescapable Shadow vs. AC (1d20+14=17) for Damage (4d4+15=24)
(Hopefully this jerk's AC is not his strong suit - we could use a break, and I'm completely done other than At-Wills now. If I used and AP and an Encounter Power for nothing I might just have to surrender . . .)

Don't let any escape... Mumbles Pok as he creeps forward, lining up his next spell.

Holding his wand steady, shadows form and coalesce about the wizard, reaching toward the cultist patrol members. The darkness wraps about the cultists similarly to the tieflings shadow attack on Pok, only these shadows are illusory. The black and gray tendrils reach toward anything nearby, curling around it, constricting, killing...
