covaithe's E1: Death's Reach

Round 5

Sarenax's illusory displacement vanishes in the prowler's jaws, and the cleric reappears, unharmed, an armspan from his previous position. His jagged scythe flashes with red as he whirls on the naga, slicing deeply into its withered body. Power flares, and radiant energy bursts through rents in the leathery hide, burning the undead monster. The power of the Raven Queen answers Sarenax' call, filling himself and Batin with renewed energy. Emboldened, Sarenax calls again, commanding the naga to cease its unlife, but it resists his command.

Kalas shrugs off he primary effect of the poison, but his mind remains clouded. He pulls himself together long enough to activate his trollskin armor, which starts to slowly knit his wounds.

Batin is eager to rejoin the fight, but his body has not been able to shake off the chill of Uganon's curse, earlier. With a great effort of will, he does so now.

Bha-Ka-Thet moves like a whirlwind, landing a flurry of punishing blows on Uganon and the naga. The radiant light from his fists fells the undead snake, which topples in a pile of ash.

Kylek surveys the field, and, spotting Uganon surrounded by allies, Kylek blasts him with magical frost.

Massacre follows up with another blast of cold, a cloud that saps strength from Uganon. He circles closer to the ground, Lucy's wings sending ripples through the ashes of the fallen naga.

Uganon, still locked in place by Massacre's injunction, turns and speaks a word of power. Time and space twist, and suddenly Batin appears in his place, fresh black lesions marring his skin. Uganon is barely visible through the cloud of deathly malevolence, atop the wall where Batin stood moments ago. He raises his hands, pointing his wand south into the cloud. Two lances of blood-red fire streak out, and Sarenax screams in pain. Moments later, there is another scream, cut off in mid-breath.

[sblock=Sarenax]Uganon suddenly appears in Batin's place, a grim look of triumph on his twisted face. He raises his dagger, and two beams of deathly radiance lash out and catch you, one landing squarely in your throat. Then the naga's jaws close on you again, and darkness closes over you.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Interrupts: Sarenax uses Cloak of Displacement to cause the prowler to miss. Puts him at 45 HP instead of 26. He teleports to W13.

Sarenax takes 24 from pall and poison. He uses Ruby Scabbard and Wrath of the Faithful to hit naga 3 for 57 radiant. A second healing word heals him 71 and Batin 65. He uses Death Knell, but the naga doesn't drop. Prowler 3 is no longer blinded.

Kalas saves against the poison, becoming dazed (tent naga 2). Note there's no save involved; sorry to waste that second roll! He turns on the regen.

Batin is still immobilized, so he can't crit naga 3. I'll take the 20 as his save, though, so next turn he's back in action.

BKT hits Uganon for 25 and naga 2 for 35 damage. Naga 2 dies. (We'll go with the CB's verdict on the armbands of power used for burst attacks.) Uganon is no longer dazed.

Kylek hits Uganon for 37 cold and 5 cold vuln. Prowler loses immobilized and cold vuln. conditions.

Massacre hits Uganon for 25+5 from cold vuln. No OAs, since naga 2 is dead.

I forgot to roll Uganon's saves vs. immobilized last round, so let me do that now: 14, 4. Nope, still immobilized. Uganon uses Wraith's Transposition to teleport into Batin's space, teleporting Batin into his space. Batin takes 10 necrotic from this. Uganon becomes insubstantial TENT. He sustains Thanatos Pall, and does a double attack on Sarenax with ghoulish rays: crit, 41 vs. Will both hit. (Forgot the -2 from Kalas' mark, but still hits.) The normal hit goes for 21 necrotic; the crit hits for 52 necrotic, leaving Sarenax with 9 HP by my count. Sarenax is immobilized (se). Uganon again makes 2 saves vs. immobilized: 8,12. Nope.

Uganon is visible, since there's only 4 squares of obscuring terrain between him and you guys, but has concealment.

All the conditions from naga 2 wear off of Kalas.

Naga 3 attacks Sarenax, 42 vs. AC hits for 17 p&n, dropping Sarenax. It moves deeper into the pall, out of sight. dazed and marked from naga 3 wear off of BKT.

Prowler 3 hides, stealth 33 beats everyone's passive perception, I think.

Has he been informed that death is inevitable and he's just delaying? asks Massacre of no-one-in-particular, Ebon Riders and their short-sighted views. Massacre took the moment to check in on his home, *Better be intact...* the wizard flipped through his eyes, checking inside, and outside of his home for threat. Taking an especially long look at his phylactery room. He hadn't felt the tingle that signaled an intrusion, but Massacre hadn't become immortal through carelessness.

[sblock=OOC]

Uganon also took 5 necrotic (living) or radiant (dead) at the beginning of his turn for starting in Massacre's Shroud of Life and Death.

Kylek snarled and wheeled about looking for the vanished tiefling. Spotting the errant villain the huge dragonborn plunged back into the life leeching miasma.

I'm coming for you, he thundered.

Circling through the deadly pall he emerged below Uganon. With a guttural incantation great wings of icy mist formed Kylek and beat the air with a terrible fury and then dispersed in a shower of fine icy crystals.

[sblock=ooc]

move: move to U10, in such a way to avoid the OA (though he's probably too high for that anyway).
Thanatos Pall: vs Fort [Target: Kylek(Fort: 34)] (1d20+26=31)

standard: Downbeat of Wings: vs Fort [Target: Uganon] (1d20+26+2-2=37)
if it hits: Cold Damage (3d6+27+8+8+5=58)/2 = 29 cold damage (vulnerability factored in) and push Uganon to Q10, knock him prone, and he gains cold vulnerability 5 TENT (Kylek). Kylek shifts to V13.

minor: sheathe offhand dagger.

question: can you use the "use second wind" feature of a heal check on someone that is dying, or do you have to stabilize them first?

As far as I can see, you can go straight to the second wind bit. No need to stabilize.

Ok, it seemed like it, but it struck me as a little odd since the stabilizing DC is a little higher.

Did I hit by the way, it might make a difference on how other people want to do their turn.

[sblock=ooc]Yes, Kylek hits, but since Uganon is on a wall and would take falling damage from the forced movement, he gets a save to fall prone in place instead, which I'll go ahead and roll now: 10 succeeds. So he's prone on top of the wall in T11.[/sblock]

"Come with me! I will not let him flee!"
BKT says as he touches Batin. Both disappear in a flashing light, materializing next to Uganon. There, BKT unleashes the anger of the Moon God...

Batin follows the paths of space as the new one moves him next to his tormentor. The pain of the dark cloud stings him again, but he is resolute. Noting the fiend's stance between worlds, he wove a complex weave of sword gestures, and thrusts, before plunging directly into the ghostly aura![sblock=Actions]Thanatos: 15 hp. Minor: Mark U.

Please have Massacre center a chilling cloud on Uganon, I've got to go get ready for work, but don't want to hold up the game.

Captain America!

Kalas taps Gilthanas and points to the spot that Batin and the newcomer just left. They reappear there and Kalas swings his left arm back and then comes forward, pressing a cleverly hidden release that sends his shield flying through the air towards Uganon, but the hazy cloud and the prone target combine for his throw to strike the pillar below his target. The shield magically rebounds off the wall and returns to the revenants awaiting arm.
