Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Xael]

Round 2

"TROUBLE!", Lylamwyn shouts to his resting companions while he reloads and prepares to cast Web at the door, should the cultists force it open (so that the spell's center is next to the door and far enough not to affect friends). "Toriah, get away from the door."

 

[Endur]

Three cultists stand at the entrance to the room, having pushed aside the bed. The cultists wear Ochre robes over heavy armor and are armed with morning stars and carry large shields.

Everyone in the room smells something terrible.

Round 3
24: Kerwyn (-5) (dc 13 fort save 14+1=15 pass) tries to shoot a cultist, but his bolt bounces off a shield (16+4=20 miss)
20: Craven (-12) (dc 13 fort save 10+6=16 pass) drinks a potion of cure light wounds (heals 4)
15: Lylamwyn (dc 13 fort save 7+2=9 fail) is sick and puking but manages to cast Web at the door (concentration check 16+7= 23 success), entangling all three cultists in a web that connects to the ceiling, the bed, and the doorway.
11: Belaver (-7) (dc 13 fort save 13+4=17 pass) and Neshi (dc 13 fort save 2+5=7 fail): Neshi is sick and throws up her last meal. Belaver summons an Earth Elemental behind the Cultists.
8: Lenya (dc 13 fort save, 6+2 = fail) is sick and throwing up, but manages to blast one of the cultists with her eldritch power (17+ hit, dmg 7, will save 18+ pass)
7: Toriah (dc 13 fort save 15+3=18 pass) loads and fires a crossbow at one of the cultists (16+4=20 miss, bolt gets stuck in the web)
4: Raner (-29) (dc 13 fort save 15+8=23 pass) drinks a potion of cure moderate wounds, healing himself (12 points).
4: Cultists: A female cultist smashes a lantern, setting the web on fire. She laughes as the webs begin to burn about them. A tall male cultist calls out, [color]"Yan-C-Bin banishes you!"[/color] A short (5' tall) cultist says something in Draconic and the room fills up with mist (Obscuring Mist). (Each cultist takes dmg 4 from burning webs)

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver declines to engage the heavily-armed cultists in melee, instead hanging back and summoning an earth elemental behind them.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Ugh...”

Trying to get up despite her condition, Lenya aims at the closest cultist and lets loose her eldritch power.

 

[Dalamar]

Kerwyn lets loose a shot at the closest cultist, hoping for a lucky hit.

 

[Xael]

Round 4

Lylamwyn moves west towards the other corridor and room, hoping to get out of the Mist, and prepares to shoot any cultists emerging from the mist (not doing this if there's even a possibility to shoot allies, not sure how lenient you are with readied actions) if he gets out with a single move action.

OOC: The mist shouldn't fill the whole place, hopefully...

 

[Pyrex]

Raner Bluestone, Ftr 3, 15/32hp

"I don't think we look much like Gnolls.""

"Thank the Forge Father for that. Tho if we spend too much longer down here I imagine we'll be smellin' like 'em."

“I would prefer to deal with the cultists, otherwise they might just slip away and continue to be a threat for all the good people in Hommlet. But, Raner doesn't look very well, it might be too risky to continue?”

"Aye, them bones got me good. Ye think I'd learn to get out th' way when they grab at me. After we've had a chance to rest we should head back to town and let everyone know there's more than just some undead here. "

“All these notes... ... the Elder Elemental Eye... that Dark Obelisk...they do not know how to get out of here!”

"We best be careful to not show 'em the way. I aim to have another crack at them an' I don't want to get back to find they've snuck off in the meantime."

4: Raner (-29) (dc 13 fort save 15+8=23 pass) drinks a potion of cure moderate wounds, healing himself (12 points).

Wakened by the noise of the scuffle in the next room Raner starts to stand, then wincing at the wounds he's suffered over the past couple of days he thinks the better of it and reaches for one of the healing potions that was recovered from the chest. "I should'a known better to think we'd get a nights rest in this place."

~Round 4~
As the room fills with mist and Raner loses sight of the cultists, he stands and readies his axe, taking a step towards where he last saw them.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

With the mist preventing any ranged bombardment, Belaver prepares to defend against any who make it past the web.

OOC: readied action to step towards and attack any cultist seen within ten feet, while fighting defensively.

 

[Endur]

Mist has filled half the room and totally concealed the cultists

Round 4 (sick = -2 to all die rolls)
24: Kerwyn (-5) draws rapier and moves into the mist and attempts to stab but misses (5+)
20: Craven (-8) moves into the mist, listening (listen check 3+) for the cultists and swings at the first cultist he finds, hitting hard (14+6 +1 smite evil=21 hit vs. AC 21, Dmg 10)
15: Lylamwyn (sick) backs up and readies to shoot any target that appears
11: Belaver (-7) readied action to attack cultist defensively
11: Neshi (sick)
11: Earth Elemental flees from the uttered name of "Yan-C-Bin"
11: Black Cat (sick) hacks and spits up a furball
8: Lenya (sick)
7: Toriah draws his rapier and moves forward and attacks a cultist in the Mists (13+, miss)
4: Raner (-17) stands and readies his axe and follows Craven and Toriah into the Mists, moving closer to the cultists
4: Cultists (-11, -14, -4): The three cultists attack Craven in the Mists. (15+6=21 hit, 3+3= miss, 10+4=14 miss, dmg 5 )

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Craven grabs his warhammer and shield and moves into the mist, trying to listen where the cultists may be. Once he has some kind of idea, he swings.*
