Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 2153690" data-attributes="member: 1210">(A very short update, ending on a dramatic moment.)A greater teleport back to the portal, then through it and back to Sigil; then another teleport to the Eyebrary (as our heroes have taken to calling the Library of Boccob).  Just in time.The battle of three solars begins.Horbin is torn.  He cannot believe he is being tested this way.He will not strike an angel of Galador.  He will not.Gerontius squares off against Zuzuvel, his blades flashing as he strikes over and over again, hitting six times before the angel can even move, breaking six of his ribs, knocking out a few teeth.  The little blue halfling is a blur!  Reeling back, the great angel grits his teeth and utters a dictum.  Gerontius reels back himself, his ears throbbing.  Can’t hear, he thinks, trying to clear his head.  Seethe is entirely paralyzed and unable to even move.  Then Inoke, having expanded to large size, swings several times, pummeling the mighty Zuzuvel down to the ground unconscious!  He is healing quickly, but for the nonce he’s out of the fight.  The archangel Molothon, second of the three solars, gestures and waves of exhaustion roll out from him.  Our heroes gasp as all of them are caught in the spell and it siphons their vitality and energy.  Lillamere makes a chopping motion with his hand and utters a few arcane phrases, and suddenly a crushing fist of spite smashes down at Molothon.“Quickly, brothers!” exclaims the third solar, Gelthanathese.  “We must defeat them!”  He casts a mass heal, and Zuzuvel rises and attempts to lay Gerontius low with a destruction.  The halfling staggers and cries out, but survives.  Meanwhile, Horbin has created a prismatic sphere to shield himself, the paralyzed Seethe and Lillamere.  Just in time!  A prismatic spray lances over the battlefield from the third solar.  Inoke bull rushes Molothon into Gelthanathese, and both of them smash to the ground like bowling pins!*  They rise again soon enough, but it slows them down some.  The battle turns ugly as Molothon strikes at Deadly Avalanche, trying to sunder Inoke’s greatclub!  The warmind cries out in dismay.  “Hey, that’s not cool!”  He strikes a defensive pose and loudly calls, “We don’t have to fight!  We don’t have to slay you!  Don’t make us!”  He spies Zuzuvel moving in on his other flank and smacks him down again.Molothon sneers, striking again and again at the greatclub with his sword, and before Inoke can shift to an offensive stance again, Deadly Avalanche shatters!  “NO!” Inoke screams.Behind him, Gelthanathese heals Zuzuvel, who shoots to his feet and moves in on Inoke, swinging his mace.Next Time: What will Inoke do for a weapon??*Domino Rush- one of the maneuvers granted by Inoke’s tactical combat feat.</blockquote>
