Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[Jalon Odessa]

'Battle is joined, damned one. Repent before the glory of Tyr.'

And with that the warrior-priest, more familiar with battling apparitions and similar creatures, follows Kytess' lead with a whirling, double-handed blow directed at the ghost.

'Battle is joined, damned one. Repent before the glory of Tyr.'

And with that the warrior-priest, more familiar with battling apparitions and similar creatures, follows Kytess' lead with a whirling, double-handed blow directed at the ghost.

The glowing sword passes right through the ghost and doesn't seem to affect it.

 

[HeavyG]

"Pay... attention... to... me!"

Kytess moves to put herself between the ghost and group members (as you see fit, 5-ft step/Tumble/flavor text). She continues her assault, breathing deeply - she must concentrate on her whirling weapon, not on the fact that she's fighting something she never really believed in, hitting something without substance, and who wounds without outward damage.

Kyte pushes Murhid back and takes his place while swinging with her chain. Mur crashes to the ground and the whirling, glowing chain strikes another blow to the ghost, dispersing a good amount of insubstantial ether. (11 damage)

 

[HeavyG]

On the ground, Murhid shakes his head. The mind-pounding blow and impact from Kytess' shove acted like a cold shower on the monk and he's ready to defend himself once more.

At this time, the rest of the party also shrug off their hypnotized state. Everybody still hears the babbling but the blow to Murhid awoke their self-preservation instincts. (Rolls as good all around as the last rounds' were crappy.)


Initiative :
Ghostly monk : 22
Ubaar : 15
Jalon : 13
Kytess : 13
Priest of Chauntea : 12
Sollir : 10 (if he's still there)
Taz : 6
Murhid : 4 - Prone




Then, the ghost strikes at Kytess. She dodges, but the ghost is quick and it strikes her, the transparent punch passing right through her chain armor to strike at her flesh beneath. She feels the impact both in her body and soul, but a quick check tells her she's unwounded physically. (4 points of wisdom drain)

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess pauses for a fraction of a second, lost in thought. As if to make up for lost time, she snaps back to reality and attacks her incorporeal foe furiously. (Power Attack for 2)

 

[Taz]

Taz backs off a few feet, while taking out her wand, and casts a shield spell.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar shakes his head from the confusing Law-speak, and sees battle.

He loses his Wisdom check and grapples the ghost <-- j/k

Ubaar sees the tell-tale signs of Tyr's power coursing thru Kytess' chain, and puts 2 and 2 together.

"Jay-lon!
God-power in weapons hurt ghost?"

If Jalon affirms, Ubaar'll step back a bit and cast Magic Weapon on his greatsword, then will probably wade into combat next turn.

 

[reapersaurus]

Taz backs off a few feet, while taking out her wand, and casts a shield spell.

If Ubaar sees Taz backing up and getting on the defensive, he'll yell in encouragement and inciting to battle:
"Taz!
Think offense, not defense!
Nail the ghostie with the witch's stinger-wand ; those passed thru our armor, dey probably hit this thing."

 

[Jalon Odessa]

'Indeed Ubaar, these things are vulnerable to divine power.'

Jalon remains between the ghost and the rest of the party, slicing once again at its insubstantial form.

 

[HeavyG]

'Indeed Ubaar, these things are vulnerable to divine power.'

Jalon remains between the ghost and the rest of the party, slicing once again at its insubstantial form.

Jalon's sword passes right through the ghost again as it dodges Kytess' whirling chain.

Then, Ubaar casts his spell on his sword and Taz shields herself with a spell while drawing her wand.



(Only Sollir and/or Murhid left to wrap up this round.)
