The Dark Temple, Round 8
The Avatar, though temporarily blinded by Scarm's blade, screams and blasts out at everyone. The fabric of reality ripples and explodes in the air all around, sending debris falling from the ceiling, blowing holes in the cave, and nearly blowing Livia in half in the process. Those furthest away manage to avoid the worst of it, but Eithal, Kaz, and Fredrock face the air literally exploding in their faces.
Snarling, she grabs onto Kaz's shoulder, though he strikes her in the process, and blasts him into the pit.
As if responding to Scarm's call, a familiar voices whispers weakly in your heads.
-kill her now, this body is weak and the gods will be banished from this world if it is destroyed... the last bit of me that is human is dying... finish what you've started... finish... fin... fin...-
The voice fades to nothing and the Avatar's body ripples and twists with dark power, seeming to grow larger even as its human blood sears away in the heat of the pit. Screaming shadows tear through the room and the walls begin to shake with the power of the undead gods trapped in the sorceress' body.
Livia, coughing up blood, speaks for the last time.
"Thanks for coming for me and Cale. It's an honor to die beside you all... I was afraid I might be dying alone or worse." She smiles.
"Get her for me, I..."
The Seeker lies still and moves no more.
| GM: | Xeterog, the Avatar lost its 10 resist when the second crystal was destroyed. You guys are doing full damage now.
Eithal takes 1d10=4 fire damage reduced to 1 for entering the H13-N18 area. Also, the Avatar is undead.
Kaz takes 1d10=7 reduced to 4 fire damage from entering the fire area. Fredrock was the only ally within 2. He also takes 5 fire damage reduced to 2 and grants CA to the Avatar for moving adjacent to her.
I'll let Nature be used either as a Standard action or a minor action with a -5 penalty.
Note, she's a solo, so +5 to all saves.
Is the damage taken from getting your spirit disrupted reducable by DR? I'm assuming yes, but let me know @Dekana.
Kaz's OA vs Avatar(+2 CA, -2 prone): 2d20+7=22 AC, hit, 1d12+3=8 damage.
Kaz will take 2d10 fire damage at the start of his turn. Athletics 12 to climb out.
You guys did 181 damage to her this round.  |

[sblock=Ritual]The ritual can be counterspelled and delayed 1 round with a Minor Action DC 20 Arcana or Religion check(max one check per round per PC) while adjacent to the altar or one of the tombs. In place of a normal roll, a PC may make roll Aid Another.
Nature may be substituted, but at -5 to the check or as a standard action.
The ritual is to awaken the Hungerer Kings. It will take 4 more rounds to complete but if two more counterspell checks hit DC 25 or higher ritual will be disrupted entirely.[/sblock]
[sblock=Arcana or Religion 20, minor action, while adjacent to the altar]It looks like the altar is also has a ritual that is responsible for the Avatar's teleport and fire resistance. As a minor action once per round per PC, a PC may make a Religion or Arcana DC20 check to suppress her fire resistance or temporarily cut-off her teleportation ability or two minor actions to attempt both.
A PC may attempt either or both while adjacent to the altar, but please specify in your roll which one you are attempting.[/sblock]
