Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

[GoldenEagle]

Grillon, sensing possible undead near by grabs his holy symbol and invokes the power of his gods (Turning) if the incorporeals move to attack.

[GruTheWanderer]

We're back! I'm going to wait for a few more responses before resuming combat (yes, they are attacking). Actions, please!

 

[Keia]

If it isn't one thing its another, Marcus thought. "Alright team, defend the crew. Force effects would be good."

Marcus stood ready, holding his action to attack any of the creatures that came within his reach as well as taking any attacks of opportunity that may present themselves.

 

[Mirth]

The insectoid creature identifies himself as Tiktitik, a thri-kreen. He is a male warrior of his people. He explains that he fell overboard during a battle when his ship was ambushed. The properties of the phlogiston seem to have placed him in some type of suspended animation. Judging by his accent, Tiktitik has been out of circulation for a long time.

Befoire you get the rest of his story, you are alerted by the shouts of the crew. A set of dusty grey figures coming flying in from off the port bow. Their appearance is human, but you can see through their incorporeal shapes.

Looking over at the thri-keen warrior, Chjargal says, "If you want to truly thank us, Tiktitik, then join us in defending the ship."

The bugbear then unfurls the wings of the gadabout as he draws his scimitar and sickle and flies forward to face the ghostly new arrivals.

Amanu throws up a shield to attempt to help ward off them incorporeal touches and moves forward to engage in melee, if possible.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Akodo groans, casts cat's grace on himself, and draws his crossbow. I don't know if this will work, but it's the best I've got. If not this, then we'll try the yari.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Amanu reacts the fastest, quickly throwing up a shield. Grillon, standing nearby, gestures with his holy symbol, but the strange creatures keep coming. He senses that they may be beyond his power to turn. Akodo enhances his natural quickness (+3 Dex) with another spell.

The ghostlike figures swoop in before Marcus can ready Cramp. He dodges the strike of one, then responds with his own attack (13 damage). Chjargal intercepts another, but misses with his scimitar. He is hit by the creature, and feels part of his lifeforce ebb away (3 Int damage).

Theryndil has the worst time of it. Three of the creatures go after the archer before he can fly out of reach. All three hit, and you see the elf losing his wits (10 Int damage). The thri-kreen tries to come to his aid, but his claws are unable to hit the incorporeal creatures.

Unexpectedly, you receive aid from Lareth. Without his spellbooks the wizard's repetoire is limited, but he has apparently stocked up on magic missles. Five bolts of greenish light fly out and strike the one hit by Marcus (11 damage).

 

[perivas]

Amanu directs two more magic missiles to strike at the one attacked by Marcus and Lareth.

 

[Mirth]

Chjargal intercepts another, but misses with his scimitar. He is hit by the creature, and feels part of his lifeforce ebb away.

"Arrrggh," Chjargal groans as the spirit reaches into his soul. "Get out of there!" The druid cries and attacks again with his scimitar, its magic runes gleaming in strange light of the phlogiston.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Well, glad to see Lareth's willing to help. Akodo smiles and looses a bolt at one of the ghostlike figures.
