[CaBaNa]

What a lovely gift Batin, Says Massacre as the Shadowfell itself falls in on the Goristro, and Ebon Rider. Solid blackness surrounds their minds.

[covaithe]

ooc: No time for a full update, but so that the rest of you can go: Massacre and Batin both hit. Rider2 dies. Goristro is stunned.

 

[CaBaNa]

One ebon tendril reaches out to hug Orelal, as the 25 foot tall forest of tentacles recedes into the plane from whence it came. Curling around the Archlich, and snaking into an eye then out through his nose before vanishing with an arcane crackle.[Sblock=OOC] The black tentacles are gone as well... [/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

With the wall of tentacles dropped and his foe dead, Kalas turns to the remaining foe. He teleports to the southeast corner and once again says "You've mistaken alligning with them, now you die!". Swinging the silver longsword, Kalas cuts a deep wound in the creature, injuring its mind with the attack.

[Oni]

Kylek snarled at Massacre's ribbing, though whether his anger was more with himself or the lich was hard to tell.

None stand before Kylek!

The frost serpent and the dragonborn reared back simultaneously sucking in vast amounts of air, then, leaning forward, unleashed a tumultuous blast that cracked and popped as it froze the air itself.

Throwing back his alabaster scaled head, Kylek roared with a primal fury.

[sblock=ooc]

Vulnerability but not resistance factored in on each.

minor: sustain Blackfrost Serpent attacking the goristro
Blackfrost Serpent: Chr vs Ref (Target: Goristro) (1d20+26+2=35) (should be 36, forgot bloodied status)
Cold Damage (2d12+27+5+3=55) and renew vulnerability to TENT

standard: Rimestorm: Chr vs Fort (Enemies only; Area: AE,AF,AG/34,35,36) (Target: goristro) (1d20+26+2+1=36)
Cold Damage (2d8+27+5+8+3=50), knock the target prone and the target also takes a –2 penalty to Fortitude TENT.

move: Dragon Breath: Str vs Ref (Area: AE,AF,AG/34,35,36) (Target: goristro) (1d20+24+2=39) (I'm assuming that Kalas isn't in the AoE, but if he is it's probably not a big deal at this point.)
Cold Damage (3d6+1+5=12) (hah, that won't even overcome the goristro's resistance since it's not arcane, but it makes me feel better for all the misses).

I feel badly for the goristro what with all the status effects that have been heaped upon it, I guess that's the fate of the last enemy standing to be dogpiled.

[covaithe]

Round 3, continued

Anostor reacts to the demon's attack with another mighty blow of his own, but this time the demon jerks back, avoiding the huge blade.

Round 4

Batin appears next to Anostor and sends the goristro tumbling through a sudden tear in reality itself, disorienting it completely.

Massacre easily directs Lucy to fight the breeze, and summons a shroud of darkness to cover much of the battlefield. Unfortunately, his eyesight seems to be malfunctioning, as it only hits the last human warrior, who collapses, inert. The field of writhing tentacles disappears into the ground as fast as it emerged. (burst 2 centered on AG29, yes? Unfortunately that doesn't include any of the goristro's squares... Not that it's likely to matter, this time... Rider2 dies.)

Kalas flickers out of sight again, and reappears behind the senseless goristro. He pronounces its doom, and strikes it a massive blow. Blood fountains, but still the great demon stands. (Lawbreaker's doom only applies to a marked target, so you have to teleport adjacent, mark him, and then use it. Doesn't matter here, but it might in the future. Also, Batin's not adjacent and can't flank. I've put you flanking with Anostor. Batin's mark gets overwritten.)

Kylek roars, and three blasts of ice surround the goristro, shredding its last reserves like a rootless tree in a hurricane. The great beast falls with a resounding crash, and does not rise. (either of the Rimestorm or the Blackfrost attack would have killed it.)

End combat

[Atanatotatos]

Anostor casually approaches the fallen demon, and pokes at it with the point of a foot. That was short! he comments, with a somewhat disappointed air.

 

[stonegod]

Batin puts away his sword with care, then inhales deeply to center himself. He smiles a bit at Anostor's words, and says quietly, Not much changed since I took you from those mysterious islands, my friend.

He turns to the others. I believe we have business to attend to. Sarenax, you have the scroll, do you not?

OOC: Batin will spend 1 HS.

 

[Atanatotatos]

Anostor turns at the shadar-kai hearing his words, looks at him, scratches his head a bit, then his eyes widen: Batin! That's you!! It did seems strange that someone blinked here and there just like you used to!! How'ya been doin'? I continue hearing there's nothing to hear 'bout you, sneaky as ever, huh? and then he laughs at full lungs, sincerely delighted to find old acquaintances.

[sblock=stonegod]Ah so Batin brought Anostor with him from the Shifting Isles? That's interesting! I like it![/sblock]

ooc:no surges spent for Anostor, of course.

 

[Oni]

Kylek studied the fallen behemoth for a moment, finally he snorted in derision.

That's better.

Sliding his implements back beneath his dark mantle Kylek looked up toward the airborne lich. He had heard Oralel mention a name.

Friends of yours Massacre?

[sblock=ooc]

I'll spend an HS, Kylek's got like eleventybillion of them.
