Against the Storm Part II: Luskan

[reapersaurus]

OOC: i've been too busy to keep up, but after reading thru and finally getting up to speed, it looks like we have quite the scene laid out before us. Good work in moving us along, Matt - guys! We can input more than this, can't we? There's an evil temple to invade and crack skulls in, is there not? Is Elric back in the country yet? Is garyh (Akharos) in? Is the haste worn off yet? For Ubaar's post, I'll assume he somehow knows the door to Z31 was used.

"Let's follow that one on to the far side of tha temple.
It farthest away from where we bashed in, so may-be it least pre-pared for us.

Maybe we should get pre-pared to kick some a$$, eh?
You guys saving any Strength back, or you gonna use some now?

Ubaar would heal himself (spontaneously swapping out his Bull's Strength for healing, caster level of 10 currently from Prayer Bead still) before casting Magic Weapon (from the Pearl of Power) on his stomp boots to match the magic glow on his Greatsword. Then a Divine Favor before the group attacks.
He has an Aid already going (+1 morale to attacks and damage and +1d8 temporary hp's) that wasn't noticed in the previous scuffle.

"Let's be quick...with all this noise going slowly cannot be good" Kelnar follows Ubaar.

Elone grins. "I am prepared as I'll ever be. Lead one, eloquent one." She bounds off after Ubaar, keeping her eyes open.

OOC: Sorry - for some reason I lost my notifies, so I didn't know stuff was happening.

You pusue the orc into the temple area immediately after blasting the guards. You get in before they can take up defensive positions in the temple area, and your opponents have fled to whatever is beyond the door to the left

You catch a glimpse of the Kraken leader standing in the doorway. he slams the door shut as soon as the orc is through (no time to attack them).

You can feel that the space around you is not right, and for more reasons then the palpable evil that hangs in the air. You are very sure that this place is a bit bigger on th einside than on the outside.

(Declare where you are in the revealed area. Also, declare a color. If you'd like, define it numericaly for me and I'll see what I can do)

The room darkens and is suddenly pitch black.

 

[Elric]

Is this magical darkness? Can I tell? If not, then Alex will shout out, asking if Kelnar or someone else can tell.

If this darkness is magical, Alex will try to escape it, moving swiftly in one direction, rapier ready.

As for placement, this area seems a little big. Not big as in unrealistic, given whatever strange effects are at work here, but big enough that coordinating positions will be hard. I might have missed something, but in what part of this general area are we? Once I know that, I can declare a more specific position.

"Be careful. Our enemies may be able to see in this darkness. Can anyone navigate well without sight? If so, keep the rest of us informed."

 

[DM_Matt]

Oops. Accidently revealed that supply room. Not a proble, I guess.

 

[DM_Matt]

Through the (magical) darkness, you hear the voice of the Kraken leader.

Position: Anywhere in the temple area (the visable stuff on the right)

"Persistant, aren't you? Nice detour, but you can't avoid the inevitability to being destroyed by our defenses. Good luck in there."

It is very difficult to see, but those with infravision can detect four balls of dark energy darting around the room, and a misty black smoke is pouring from openings in both altars.

The balls charge you guys. Ubaar, Kelnar, and Akharos are hit (7,7,12 dmg). Those who are hit feel the creatures pass right through them, seeming to burn their souls from them for an instant.

Kelnar sees similarities between the mist and the poison gas used in the attack at Irusyl's place.

 

[dead_radish]

Elone will take up a position around y53. You can make me something easy - 22DD22 works for me.

Elone curses at the darkness. "This is not a natural darkness!" She will attempt to cast light to dispel an area around herself, and if that fails, attempt to channel positive energy into the area, and listen for sounds other than her party.

OOCM_MATT I am dipping out of this game for a while. Please feel free to run my PC. Thank you for giving me the chance to run and play a druid!

OOC: I am not sure where the other characters are, but Kelnar would be BEHIND the tough guys.

Kelnar will cast improved invis. upon himself and then stoneskin on the ubaar. After that he will again take a look at the tide of the battle
