Beyond the Rerisen Tower(DM Iron Sky, Judge: renau1g)

[Dekana]

OOC: Oops, I didn't see the slide from Yishim on Livia. Sprout wouldn't be able to hit Livia from where I moved him, so I need to change my action slightly. Sprout goes to L8 instead. Post edited.

 

[Iron Sky]

The Dark Temple, Round 4

As Scarm blasts the statue, the faint shimmering warding protecting it shatters, leaving the statue exposed...

The Avatar sprinkles residuum across the altar and with a gesture, the altar is shrouded in shadows. With a laugh, the Avatar explodes into ravens again, re-appearing on the platform in the center, blasting out at Fredrock, denting his shield but not even slowing the dwarf down.

Cale, meanwhile, swings at Eithal, but the warden keeps him at bay.

Livia stands up and turns on Yishim, cursing him blackly as she fires an arrow at the wizard, injuring him and shrouding the

GM: Note: The statue's Vulnerability counterbalances its DR. Essentially, it now has no DR and vulnerable 5 radiant. Kaz also regen'd 5 at the start of his turn.

[sblock=Arcana or Religion 20, minor action]The ritual seems to be some form of necromantic ritual, linked with the tombs of the dead Hungerer Kings. It can be counterspelled and delayed with a DC 20 Arcana or Religion check while adjacent to the altar or one of the tombs.[sblock=If you got 25 Arcana or Religion]The ritual is to awaken the Hungerer Kings. It will take 3 rounds to complete but if three counterspell checks hit DC 25 or higher ritual will be disrupted entirely.[/sblock][/sblock]

[Xeterog]

Fredrock swings his hammer at the remaining crystal. Fredrock looks at the altar, then back at the Avatar, then back at the altar, and finally at the tombs. Comprehension shines in his eyes: Hey, he's doing some foul ritual on the hungerer kings...perhaps we should keep him from completing it..

[Mewness]

Scarmiglione once again depends on the vigilance of Eithal to keep him safe as he blasts the statue, and Eithal once again rewards his trust by cutting the ever-reforming Cale in two as he tries to shoot at the kenku. Observing that the statue seems much weaker now, Scarmiglione moves back around it and jumps down from the platform, heading for the opposite side of the temple and the other statue.

[Iron Sky]

Scarm blows the statue apart, and the whole labyrinth shakes. The dark spirit trapped in the statue whirls out from the statue and swirls into the Avatar. She gasps as the power surges into her, obviously struggling with the pain.

Cale slumps to his knees, but then looks up and his eyes are clear. He coughs, blood frothing to his lips. "That was unpleasant... ever had a dead god use you as a puppet?"

GM: Eithal's Warden's Fury vs Cale: 1d20+13=16 Fort, miss. Cale's Paint the Bullseye: 18 AC vs Scarm, miss. The Avatar is stunned until the end of her next turn. Cale is on your side now and can now take actions, with the usual spend a minor action to command him. I'll update the main post with his stats.

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Shouldn't Kaz be at higher HP since he was healed by Toeto?

 

[Iron Sky]

GM: Yup. He should be 3hp down, not 30. Fixed it in the Combatants section.

 

[Dekana]

Hey, he's doing some foul ritual on the hungerer kings...perhaps we should keep him from completing it..

How can he say it so casually! wonders Toeto. Some horrible abominations are about to be resurrected, and perhaps we should stop it.

"I'll try..." she calls back to the dwarf. Toeto walks toward one of the tombs keeping only a short distance away from Livia. At about the halfway point, she turns and calls Sprout back into the world to attack the statue. The basilisk appears and shines briefly with a golden light, basking Kaz in the glow. Sprout claws at the statue with only minor effect.

As the shaman nears the undead's tomb, she suddenly realizes that she hasn't the faintest idea how to stop some necromantic ritual.

OOC: Kaz gets 3 THP if 19 will hits the statue, or 1 THP if it doesn't.

[sblock=Toeto stats / actions]Actions
Move: Toeto walks to L9.

Minor: Call Spirit Companion in N6. Kaz gets 1 THP from the radiant spirit boon.

Any ally adjacent to Toeto's spirit companion regains +3 additional hit points when he or she uses second wind or when Toeto uses a healing power on him or her.

[sblock=Spirit Companion notes]The spirit companion is treated as a conjuration with some exceptions.

• It occupies 1 square like an ally does.
• It is only affected by melee or ranged attacks (not close/area attacks or zones).
• It is dispersed if it takes 12 or more damage from a single blow, and Toeto takes 7 damage. It is otherwise unaffected by attacks. It uses Toeto's defenses.
• It cannot be flanked and it does not grant flanking.
• The companion can move 5 squares whenever Toeto takes a move action. It is not affected by difficult terrain.

OOC: Thanks

Seeing that nothing will bring down his friend, Kaz moves closer to the statue. He slams the axe against the statue with tremendous force, knocking a large chunk off. Divine energy flows into Kaz from the blow, making him stronger and move agile.

Yishim quickly realizes what the Avatar is doing. The Avatar is trying to bring the hungerer kings back to life. We can't let it happen.

He runs to the nearest tomb, and begins crafting a counterspell. He's able to find some weaknesses in the ritual, but not quite enough to fully counter the spell.

Minor Arcana: Arcana (1d20+12=31) to see the spoiler text.
Move: Run to H9
Standard: Counterspell (1d20+12=29). Is the counterspell a standard action? If so this is going to take a while; I need a 13 or higher on the die. At least I've made one.[/sblock]
