[EBERRON] the Extraordinaries, 'A Terror Awakened, the League Reborn'

[taitzu52]

On the verge of completely ignoring the conversation, Neville stands off to the side with his foot up on a rock, and leaning forward on one knee. He is quite preoccupied with smoking a pipe and staring at the horizon, as if some invisible flock of birds had just taken flight.

Hearing his name, he does not even turn around, he simply keeps staring, and waves off the negotiations making a shooing motion with is hand. "No, no. Have at it.", he says out of the side of his mouth, a puff of smoke accompanying his words. He retracts his hand and straightens the cuff of his jacket and continues to puff away, his eyes straining to see something that is not there, engrossed in the regretful thoughts of an old man.

Having decided the distribution of the spear at least, the League members make their way around the first pile of bodies and then come upon two more… similar but of different designs. They move to avoid as much of them as possible and continue deeper onto the dreary plains. After about thirty or forty minutes, and after passes mayhap ten differently arranged piles of bodies the League comes to a small rise and makes their way up a bit of a hill. They see no other strangely arranged piles of bodies here, and Neville can make out another large pile of bodies mayhap a hundred yards off. Near this pile is the large bloody construct that they observed and hide from last eve before the Warforged attack. The creature is wander around the large pile of bodies, picking up bodies it appears at random and sometimes dropping the body, and sometimes sticking it onto one of its’ large bloody spikes that produced from its’ body…

Arrow and Henry both start whining and growling a bit, a sense of dread and horror fill the others as the construct can be better made out now in the light of day. It again does not seem to notice the party and continues wandering the pile of bodies for 10 or 15 minutes before wandering off, so that the party can continue. The old Lightning Rail stones lead them east and the follow them for most of the rest of the day, as the land starts to become a bit hilly again. Ruins of houses and keeps are shatter along the way, but no other large piles of ‘fresh’ bodies are seen, although a few skeletons of badly burnt remains are seen here and there.

As the day starts to wane, Henry starts growling… looking around suddenly a bolt of lightning seems to fall out of the sky and slams into the ground near Azreal, Neville, Henry, Fury and Taran! Reforming quickly into something like a ball of electricity

(occ Reflex saves for Azreal, Neville, Henry, Fury and Taran! Then actions as the Living Lightning spell goes on the attack against the Living!!! The surprise round the Lightning attacked and so First Round a coming. Henry was NOT surprise (only one) so he can react if he wants (not much he can do against a living spell though).
Note, yep I know about Azreal’s immunities, I believe if you make the save you will take no damage BUT if you fail you could take some! /occ)

Henry sniffs the air, the smell of ozone crackling around, raising the wiry hairs on his back. With a yelp, the hound leaps forward, and bounds away from the bolt of electricity that has just struck the ground.

(OOC- Henry moves 15 feet away from the epicenter of the blast.

Neville Reflex save +6 - 18 Neville has Evasion.

Azreal, Half-Celestial Paladin/Warmage HP: 46/46 AC: 19

Azreal followed the others, occasionally flying high into the air to better see the symbols and copy them down for the others as they traveled. The piles of bodies had their affect on him . . . normally brooding and a loner, now he was an angry, brooding loner. He was looking for someone who had done this - - so many dead.

When the lightning struck, Azreal was mildly surprised . . . then he was just looking for something to hit. He paused for a moment, uncertain if the attack was just the creature's arrival or if the creature really wanted to attack. He scanned the creature, looking for evil.

OOC: Save for damage (27). SR 14 if it mattered. Electricity resistance 10. Initiative of (15)

 

[Prof Yeti]

Taran Varnodel d'Phiarlan - Half Dragon Ranger/ Sorcerer

At the last moment feeling the hairs on the back of his neck raise, Taran throws himself to the side.

OOC -
Saving Throw (1d20+8=16)

Initiative (1d20+4=7) Wow

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

Marcus, not recognizing the signifigance of the bodies decides to leave them for now...though with great pains in his heart.

As soon as the living lightning strikes his companions, he pulls out his bow, and places an arrow to the string, ready to lash out against this strange attacker.

OOC: Init:Initiative (1d20+3=6)

 

[Ferrix]

As the living lightning crashes down upon the others, Gherald lets out a wheezing hiss and dodges for cover, bloody Mournlands!

OOC: Initiative 5+3 = 8; I'm getting crap rolls on there lately.

 

[Bobitron]

Fury is completely unaware of any threat as the electrical energy slams into the group. The cackling bolts run up into his adamantine body and courses through his limbs, causing him to shake. With a herculean effort, he manages to right himself from his knees and look about for the threat. He looks to Neville for orders as the ball of electricity forms.

ooc:

Reflex save- Fury rolls 1d20+4, getting [2,4] = (6)
Initiative- Fury rolls 1d20, getting [14] = (14)

 

[Karl Green]

Slamming down upon the League members, most escape any harm at all, although Taran’s hairs stand up on the back of his head and Fury his almost knocked off his feet as he takes the brunt of the blast! The Living Lightning seems to gather into a ball, readying to burn the group once again. Azreal tries to sense the evil within the thing, but all he senses is a void… the thing is not evil and yet it seems to have a ‘need’ to end the life of any and all creatures not like itself. It is an unnatural hunger unleashed onto the world that has no right to exist!

(occ From the Surprise Round… Living Lightning does 19 points of Electrical Damage…
Neville and Henry make their saves and with Evasion take no damage
Azreal saves for half, and with Electrical Resistance takes no damage
Taran makes his save and takes ½ damage – 9 Hit Points. I am assuming your Falcon is with your so I rolled getting a Base 13 roll. The DC is 15 so I am pretty sure he made it AND familiars have Evasion so he takes no damage. What’s his name BTW?
Fury fails his save and takes 19 points of Damage

Round 1…
Azreal and Neville – 15
Fury and Living Lightning – 14
Bale – 11
Gherald – 8

Actions for Round 1? No Map as the thing is basically among you, no one more then 10ft away from it (except Henry).
Azreal and Neville react before the Living Lightning, and Fury acts at the same time soo… /occ)

 

[Ferrix]

Gherald clacks his teeth and moves for covers, a slight twang can be heard as he tumbles behind cover and you hear the man grimace and gnash his yellowed teeth.

OOC: Move for cover, draw and miss with my handcrossbow Attack 1d20 [1]+7 = 8
