Endur's Return to TOEE part 3

Like a scene from hell itself, the interior of the crater is a dry, cracked yard of uneven volcanic rock concealed by fingers of sulphorous mist. A hot, dry stench fills the air, burning the insides of your nose and mouth. At the center of this area, pounded down into a wound into the earth like a spike in the flesh, stands a black tower glistening with the sheen of black adamantine. The earth seems to recoil from the touch of this strange structure, so the tower is surrounded by the gaping trench of this wound, its black walls plunging downward out of sight. Cracks, exposing red hellish light from below, start at the wound and cross the yard. No windows exist on the tower, and the single door is accessible only by a narrow bridge the crosses the wound.

The walls of the crater that surrounds the tower rise two hundred feet above the party. The whole area has an omnipresent feel of evil. Torn believes that the evil presence will make undead extremely hard to turn in this place.

The humanoid-sized undead have black obexes seared onto the milky white flesh of their foreheads. They wear black tattered clothing and black breastplates and attempt to claw the living.



Round 3:
16: 8 Undead (-18, -24, -13, -22, -25) attack Raner & Torn (4 attack Torn: 20/19+6=25 critical hit, 9+6=15 miss, 13+6=19 miss, 2+6=8 miss, Torn takes 2 negative levels, dmg 4; 4 attack Raner 18+6+2=26 hit dmg -2, 1 neg level, 18+6=24 miss, 14+6=20 vs. ac 25 miss, 11+ miss). 16 more undead are moving into position to attack, but are blocked out by their comrades.
15: Raner (1 neg level, -2) attacks a milky white undead creature, hitting once and missing once (pa5, 10+ hit, 7+8=15 vs. ac 20+2= miss, dmg 22)
8: Torn (-8, 4 negative levels) swings Fragarach the Sword of Heroes in a blur of motion at the terrible undead (Attacks: 7+, 9+, 2+, 15+, 3+, 11+, 20+, 6+, hitting each of the four undead facing her twice, dmg 17, 26, 25, 27)
7: Lenya (1 negative level) reappears with Belaver (Brown Bear form) and Neshi

OOC: Geez- Did Torn just attack 8 times in a round? Is that some sort of a whirlwind attack feat the sword gives her? In any case, she should have cast a protective spell before she 'ported over...

IC:
Sensing the power in her sword and the difficulty in turning, Torn continues to hack away at her foes.

Belaver rears up on his hind legs, batting at the unliving monstrosities. He does not seek to grapple, hoping it will help him avoid the negative energy infusing the things.

ooc: Yes, Torn is attacking 8 times a round. And hitting enemies on a 2. And yes, protective spells are nice.

Ten terrible dark wights face the assembled party in melee. A group of eight more is moving slowly towards the party. Six of the undead creatures lay decomposing at the feet of Raner and Torn.

Torn and Raner both continue to survive, but both look weakened and drained by exposure to the terrible dark wights.

19: Toriah
18: Lylamwyn
17: Belaver (Brown Bear Form, -3, 1 neg level)

Lylamwyn casts Evard's Black Tentacles (Grapple +18) defensively (Concentration +16) at the group of approaching Wights, if they're close enough to get into melee next round.

Otherwise, hell try to blast the ones that are already in melee with the party with either Fireball (DC 19) or Cone of Cold (DC 21).
