(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

[Creamsteak]

The medium sized creature is grappling with the reach of his tentacles, yes.

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren prepares to strike down a small, ugly critter, until an even bigger one shows up.....and grabs Larian! The halfling curses and spins about to lunge at the new arrival and try distracting it from Larian with some quick jabs at its gut and thigh.

OOC: 5-foot step and full-attack vs. big monster as described above, then.

Warren 8
Tyrla 7
Ghost Dire Lion 6


Warren steps up and attacks the creature, his strikes dealing reduced damage, both physical and fire. The first strike deals 2 points of physical damage and no fire damage and the second attack doesn't land at all (2 rolled).

Tyrla, in turn, scores a solid hit on her target and inflicts 20 points of damage. The creature fighting Mandla looks badly injured at this point.

A horrible roar sounds from the thistle, the branches of white thorned foliage rustling in the wind that follows. A massive hulking creature leaps from the forest - both there and not there. The creature stands ten feet high to it's shoulders and has the appearance of a lion - but distorted and pale - it's figure seeming to only mirror life. The creature's form is incorporeal and translucent, clearly not a mortal beast.

The creature lunges for Pender who has an opportunity to strike back. His blade is just too slow however (3 rolled) and the attack fails to hit the figure.

It's pouncing attack strikes against the fighter, passing through his armor and sapping his strength (quite literally, Pender takes 1 point of strength drain). All on the battlefield are immediately subject to it's corrupting gaze.

Saving Throws Against DC 18
Larian 9
Tyrla 16 (need +2 to pass, if something is effecting you that I didn't take into account)
Avril (natural 1)
Mandla 11
Warren 23
Pender (natural 20)
Siobhan 18

Corrupting Gaze Damage
Larian suffers 3 hit points of damage and 2 Charisma damage.
Tyrla (if she doesn't save) suffers 17 points of hit point damage and 1 Charisma damage.
Avril suffers 16 hit points of damage and 1 point of Charisma damage.
Mandla suffers 3 hit points of damage and 3 points of Charisma damage.

The lesser undead attack next, selectively grouping up their attacks on Siobhan. Each attacks a single time. One fails to damage the cleric while the other lands a hit for 4 points of damage, but fails to start the grapple.

The remaining creature attacks Mandla directly hitting twice for a combined 13 points of damage. Mandla fights off being grappled.

Next up are:
Larian 14
Avril 11
Siobhan 11
Pender 11

OOC: Can't think of anything specific that would give a +2 on saves; even the Haste is just a +1 to Reflex. I'm guessing this was a FORT save, and Tyrla's mods for that are as listed on her sheet. Going to have to open the range on this one a bit...

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Siobhan takes a step back so that she is no longer between the two disgusting creatures. Now that she can turn and face both of them, she clutches at the silver holy symbol of Kord she wears. She beseeches her deity for the power to strike down these unholy beasts and to drive them back into the darkness. An intangible wave of strength pours out from her, cresting over the undead surrounding them.

Turning Results:
[SBLOCK]

Can turn up to an 11 HD Undead creature. A total of 16 HD worth of creatures are affected, starting with the two nearest and radiating out 60'

Max HD Affected (1d20+3=21)

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 22 - hp 32/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15
Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 29 - hp 25/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

She should've come to expect this. Almost inevitably when they fought battles things seemed more than they were. Further creatures burst from the forest, more dangerous and more powerful, and Avril heart leapt at the sight of the ghostly lion. Siobhan's power over the undead would hopefully keep these creatures at bay, as they power was quickly showing some dangerous wounds on all her allies. Calling to Mandla to press the battle, the courageous male dog attempted to finish of its foe, while Avril aimed at helping Siobhan who's power would help them all.

[SBLOCK=OOC]OOC: Avril commands Mandla to continue attacking the creature at N7 with Haste and Full Attack. Mandla Bite Attacks: +10/+10. Damage: 1d6+5 hp/1d6+5 hp. Trip: +3/+3. Avril uses Call Lightning on the creature at N7 if Mandla doesn't drop it, otherwise on H11, one of those flanking Siobhan (if not turned). Damage: 3d6. Reflex DC 17 for half damage.

I want to see the effect that Siobhan's turn has before deciding Pender's actions, if that's cool

Larian 14 (17/38 hp)
Avril 11
Siobhan 11
Pender 11 <-Here
Medium Undead 10
Warren 8
Tyrla 7
Ghost Dire Lion 6

Larian tries to break free and surprisingly manages to spring away from the creature. He moves back a step, closer to Warren.

Avril keeps Mandla on the attack, his bite dealing 15 points of damage and killing the target. Avril's lightning bolt deals 8 points of damage to the creature as it avoids the brunt of the blast.

Siobhan sends the two lesser creatures adjacent to her into a cowering panic, but the larger beast and the ghostly lion remain dangerous.

Pender is up.

Siobhan's targets don't move, but they are turned and will flee as soon as possible.

 

[renau1g]

Turning towards the lion that has sapped his strength, the giant-Pender stabs forward once, hoping to draw the lion into a defensive retreat, then quickly brings the blade back and swings horizontally at the creature.

[sblock=OOC]
Full Attack on L:
Vs AC; Dmg; vs ac; dmg (Incl. -1 to hit/dmg from 1 point of str drain and -2 to hit/ 4 dmg from power attack) (1d20 13=19, 2d6 13=20, 1d20 8=20, 2d6 13=16) *Forgot about the enlarge person though (+1 damage from the +2 bonus to STR, increased weapon damage as well: 1d6=5, 1d6=4)

Pender's strikes land, amazingly damaging the ghostly creature with each swing. Also, I believe you neglected your haste bonus attack which also hit and dealed another 18 points of damage. In rapid succession, the three strikes shatter the ghost. It is destroyed.

The medium-sized undead howls and tries to assault Siobhan. It takes a 5 ft. step to L11 and attacks twice. Both tentacles hit, dealing 7 and 11 points of damage to the cleric despite her respectable defenses. It does not start a grapple.

Warren and Tyrla are next, followed by the two turned undead, then the rest of the group (so I can take everyone's actions now). The only change on the grid before the turned undead run is the medium creature ('D') has moved to L11.
