Verdis

"You'll pay for killing Otto!" Verdis steps back and unleashes his Eldritch Blast at the stony foe. "I'll fall back to watch for trouble from the room. Shout if you need me."

OOC: [sblock]Sorry, I missed the start of the fight somehow. I only discovered we were in combat from reading the ooc: thread. Anway, +6 Eldritch Blast Ranged Touch 2d6 20/x2 60' r (+1 to hit and damage within 30')[/sblock]

Dara

“Holy... What is this thing!?”

Dara considers it a good idea to protect herself with her trusted Shield spell before engaging this monster.


OOC: Casting Shield (no ASF).

"This thing is too powerful!" yells Kurt. "We must flee!" he adds, once again using his faith to heal the wounded (sacred purification heals 1d8+2) and swinging with his long sword, for whatever good it does... "Verdis! Your blasts hurt it! Keep it up!"

Combat, round 2 - COMPLETE

Seeing the resilience and power of the creature, Coraine settles to a grim fight, slashing at the elemental's great bulk. His strike is on, but the longsword glances off a rocky formation, doing little damage.

"Die ye overgrown, walkin' dungheap," yells Ragnok, swinging Norryjar overhead with all of his might. The axe tears a considerable chunk of dirt and rock from the thing's form, as it finally begins to show some sign of the damage you've inflicted upon it.

Her magical defenses in place, Dara steps up and slashes at the earth beast, her falchion scoring a solid hit against the foe.

"Aye, I'll stick with it, but somebody needs to watch that door or we'll be stuck between this rock and a hard place." Verdis takes another step back and lobs another blast at the thing. "It is an earth elemental, a large one, but more powerful than normal for it's size. Maybe this place is enhancing it." The energy streaks from the warlock's hand, taking another large clump of dirt from the elemental's torso.

"This thing is too powerful!" yells Kurt. "We must flee!" he adds, once again using his faith to heal the wounded and swinging with his long sword, for whatever good it does... "Verdis! Your blasts hurt it! Keep it up!"

The earth elemental issues a low growl that reverberates through your bodies, and then strikes again. The beast sends one club-like fist toward Kurt, but strikes the wall over the cleric's head, showering him with dirt and splinters of stone from the wall. With another roar, the elemental spins and slams a fist into Ragnok, launching him through the air like a rag-doll. The dwarf crashes into the soft dirt next to Verdis.

Combat, round 3 - COMPLETE

Coraine grunts in pain. Then, at Kurt's cry, he nods decisively.
"Yes, we have to get out of here - but we can't leave Ragnok and Verdis. Kurt, you and Dara fall back. I'll keep it busy." With that, Coraine circles the creature ostentatiously, while still keeping a very close eye on it for further crushing attacks. He doesn't even attempt to get close enough to hit it.

Ragnok groans as he jumps to his feet. Realizing that another heavy blow like the last would be his doom, the dwarf instead grabs a throwing hammer and hurls it toward the elemental. The hammer thuds into the beast's abdomen area, but seems to do little damage.

Dara aims another, more careful, swing at the beast then takes a step backwards. The blade fails to injure the elemental's rocky form.

The warlock lets another blast of eldritch energy fly at the elemental. "You'll have to move pretty damn fast to leave me behind. Worry about yourself." He takes another step back. The blast of arcane energies tears a large chunk from the earthen humanoid, causing it to roar again.

Kurt swallows hard as he dodges the massive blow. He swings his longsword one more time and then once again uses his power of Sacred Purification, healing both Ragnok and Coraine. Kurt's blade finds solid purchase, cutting a decnt sized gouge in the elemental's form.

The elemental again slams a mighty fist into Coraine's chest. Though the paladin's armor absorbs part of the blow, Coraine is propelled backward through the air, landing on his back at Verdis' feet. Spinning, the creature strikes at the next nearest target: Dara. The huge fist slams into her, possibly cracking a couple of ribs, but somehow she manages to maintain her footing.




I expected this battle to be easier for you...I guess I didn't realize that you aren't a bunch of power attackers.

[Legildur]

OOC: Can Kurt take a 5ft step north to AB24? Or is the way blocked? If he can, he will after taking his actions.

BIC: Kurt swallows hard as he dodges the massive blow. He swings his longsword one more time and then once again uses his power of Sacred Purification (1d8+2 damage healed).

[sblock=OOC]Full defense - AC 25. If Dara and Kurt take a 5 foot step back, he'll try and keep the elemental's attention focused on him, so that Ragnok and Verdis have a chance to slip past it.[/sblock]
