Black Spine: Adventures under a Dark Sun

[humble minion]

OOC: En route to our current position, Garak tries to to cast (in order) an extended greater magic weapon on his flail, followed by a divine power and then a divine favour just before we turned on the gith.

Also, how long has it been since the previous combat? If it is not long, then Garak may still be fatigued from his rage.

It takes about two minutes to get from your previous position to that from which you attack the gith.

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:47 (after powers below)

Arriha would like to invoke Metaphysical Weapon (on her bow, making it +3) and Combat Prescience during the flight using 6 pps.

Just before combat began, she swooped low (up 60’ above the party), and invoked Acceleration utilizing another 4pps.

Uden stops and turns to face the gith, hefting his blood-splattered swatter menacingly. He grins toothily at them, a mad gleam in his eye.

"Heh heh heh, we kill you all now!" He calls, pounding his club against the ground.

(OoC: Intimidate +8, trying his best to unnerve the gith.)

"Arriha, Ursus, Ristu - give me some fire!"

Garak wheels Kejo to face the pursuing gith, then gestures towards them and calls out three harsh syllables in a strange language. Black liquid bubbles glutinously up from the sand and pools beneath the gith's feet.

OOC: Garak casts oil spray (save DC 20) on the tightest concentration of gith, and waits for someone to ignite it with a flaming arrow or fire spell. This is a pretty obvious tactic - I'm assuming the group has used it before so the others know what I'm talking about.

I have updated Garaks Rogues Gallery entry with hit points and languages, which I have somehow neglected up to now.

Grykee Mindbender 12th AC:13 PP:53

Grykee chooses two new victims from amongst the Gith outside of the Oil Spray, and attempts to Dominate (DC+16) them. One from each side of the group, hopefully from different tribes*.

Grykee shouts in Gith:

Spoiler

Lie down, surrender and you will be spared!

During the pursuit she redrew the Pink Quartz Dorje (Invisibility) and retained the White Quartz Dorje (Empathic Transfer) in her other hand.


*If there are no discernable diferences in armaments, dress, or skin colorings, then don't worry about it.

Arriha: Aarakocra Air Cleric 1 / Nomad 9 PP's:47

"Arriha, Ursus, Ristu - give me some fire!"

Arriha sighed and reached into her pack to recover a vial of alchemist's fire. She climbed in the air, and threw the vial into the heart of the spray.

"I'm gonna have to restock on these things," Arriha said to no one in particular. She liked this tactic, she just didn't like that Garak almost always seemed to forget that it was Arriha buying the fire every time for his enjoyment. She liked it, too, and it was helpful - she just hoped this time he'd remember who bought.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Between Garak and Arriha, seven are engulfed in flames and fall to the ground thrashing. Urden accounts for two in a single sweeping blow, and Ursus and Ristu each take down a single opponent in a rush. Both of Grykee's targets, one bearing a great white hand across its chest harness and the other with a leering red eye emblazoned upon its forehead, fall prey to her assault.

Arriha easily dodges the two javelins sent her way, as do Urden and Ursus; Garak and Ristu are struck once each, and Grykee is struck by two javelins. Urden is rushed by a shrieking, frothing gith with a two-handed axe, and the two exchange solid hits.

OOC: Garak takes 4, Grykee 12, Ristu 10, Urden 16.

"What in the name of the stones does she think she's doing?" Garaks asks nobody in particular on seeing Ristu's headlong rush. "I'd better go give her a hand. She'll get herself hurt, doing that sort of thing. You'll be right, won't you?" he asks Grykee.

Without waiting for a reply, he digs his heels into Kejo's flanks and bears down upon the gith in a thundering rush, pure fear emanating from his armour.

OOC: charging attack with lance at +20 to hit, 3d8+30 damage (Spirited Charge and Power Attack for 3). If there is an obvious leader among the gith (based on size and equipment) target him regardless of Attacks of Opportunity and so on, otherwise target the biggest concentration, hoping the fear aura will cause as much confusion as possible. Leave the one with the axe to Uden though.

 

[Jarval]

Uden: HP 126/157, AC 17, Raging.

Uden bellows a wordless battle cry at the frothing gith, and attacks it viciously.


(OoC: Raging, full attack with swatter: +20/+15 to hit, 3d8+14 damage.)
