Fallen Angel [IC]

[Erekose13]

Round 2

Syfis still hovering over Thomas in what she feels is the only safe spot at the moment points her wand at the same bug. The bolt of light streaks out and wraps itself around the creature's club. Giving a tug, Syfis manages to yank the club from its hands. The club falls to it's feet.

Thomas standing under Syfis launches an arrow at the bug on the ceiling above Michael, but misses.

Riejar already standing beside the bug on the left (it had moved up last round) attacks it with his sword. A glancing blow slides off the creature's left thigh inflicting a slight wound (3 damage).

Lomas successfully navigates his way down into the cavern just as the rain starts to fall. Seeing all his companions engaged with two giant bugs he opens a mindscape with them. Before him a swirling plain of shadowy grass opens up in his mind. Standing on the plain are the vague form of an ogre towards his left and another is suspended mid air on his right. His avatar launches two beems of light towards the creatures drawing a bead on their positions. The creatures, completely unaware, are mentally incapable of staving off the attack. Returning his senses to the battlefield in the cavern he concentrates on inflicting much pain towards the creature on the ceiling.

Seeing an opening the creature lashes out with its huge longspear (20' reach is huge!) and strikes Lomas solidly (14 damage) before he has a chance to fully manifest his power. Injured he is unable to maintain concentration and the power slips from his mind.

The bug on the ceiling having great success agains Lomas tries to stab at Michael directly below it. Swinging wildly because of the diversion created by Lomas he is unable to land a solid blow.

The bug on the right stoops to pick up its club. Riejar seeing an opening slashes at the creature, but misses. With club in hand the bug tries to retaliate but swings wide.

Michael and Akaros standing below the bug on the ceiling both line up their greatswords and swing at the creature. Their swords both dig deep causing great wounds in the creature (19 and 14 damage respectively). It loses consciousness and falls to the ground at their feet, dying on impact.

((OOC: damage recap; Michael has taken 11 and is currently at 31; Lomas just took 14 and is now at 11. One bug down, the other has taken 3 damage.))

 

[Someone]

Akaros sinks the greatsword on the gigantic insect and a stream of bug blood pours over him and Michael. He then turns his attention on the other bug, and sees how the frail psion took a nasty wound. Akaros leaves the killing to the others and tries to save Lomas´life.

[if Akaros is currently out of the bug´s reach, cast Cure moderate wounds, walk up to Lomas and touch him (you can do that with touch spells). If Akaros is within reach, then walk, preferably out of reach and cast the spell, defensively if needed to avoid the attack of opportunity.

If the bug dies before Akaros´turn, then forget the spell, I´ll use the wand to help everybody]

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

(OOC-Listen check for Syfis using a chatroom bot: <Sollir> d20
* Golem rolls the dice for Sollir (d20) and rolled 19. With a +2 modifier for a total of 21)

"I heard that, Lomas!" The elf yells at the end of the last round, her sensitive elf ears picking up on the seer's mumblings. A few seconds later, and looking at the current situation, however, she starts to feel pangs of guilt for asking Lomas to come into the midst of the fight. She tries to disarm the remaining bug again with her wand, and then flies down, juxtaposing herself between the psion and the ogre-bug, drawing her sword out, even though it may not be the most wise course of action.

(Use Wand of Unhanding again, then fly down in front of Lomas, drawing my MW longsword during the move action)

 

[Fanog]

Thomas smiles a nervous smile as he sees the ogre-bugs drop from the ceiling and crash into the ground. "Is everyone still doing okay?", he asks, his voice slightly quivering.

He circles around the room, keeping his back against the wall. With his bow pointed at the remaining creature, he tries to find an opening to shoot it without risk of injuring one of his companions.

 

[Thrarn Iranorn]

Die bug

Riejar is somewhat annoyed that he only hit the bug with a glancing blow, but is happy that it has fallen. Paying little attention to the dieing creature, he immediately moves to attack the one still standing. “Die you nasty bug,” he grumbles as he moves to the bug still standing.

OOC:Not sure how far away the other bug is…If it is a good distance and there is a strait shot to it, Riejar will make a charge attack against it.
Otherwise he will move to attack and attack if he can. If he can flank without taking an AoO the bug then he will.

 

[Rybaer]

Lomas grunts as the creature's spear crunches into his mail. He's able to manage a brief grin, however, as he watches Michael and Akaros slice it up.

If Lomas cannot get outside the reach of the remaining creature, he will hold his shield up and go all-out defensively.

If Lomas feels that he can get outside the last creature's reach, he will again draw it into the Mindscape, this time using mode Brain Hammer (+0). Net attack bonus of +9 (with the mindscape bonus). Whether successful or not, he will use Ego Whip (+4 ranged touch attack, or +7 if he wins psi combat).

 

[Thels]

OOC: So the 11 damage was after damage reduction?

""One down, one to go!" Michael cries as he takes a look at the situation. Seeing Syfis in first rank, he moves over to her, looking for another position to attack the second bug, while yelling "Fall back!" to Syfis.

 

[Erekose13]

Syfis still out of range of the bug actives her wand, with a flick and a swish a tendril of light shoots out and grabs onto the bug"s retrieved club. Tugging on the stream of light Syfis manages to once again yank the club from its hands. It lets out a huge growl of frustration. Ignoring its groans she moves over to Lomas drawing sword.

Thomas circles around the far side of the room leary of getting within the creatures reach. It is quite a large room so it takes him a significant amount of time to find an opening (full round of movement).

Riejar charges the creature seeing an opportunity to attack it while it is weaponless. It strikes solidly injuring the bug-ogre. (9 damage)


Lomas still out of the creatures reach focuses once more drawing the creature into the battlefield of the mind. On the shifting see of waving shadowy grass he launches an attack. A conjured dagger appears near the creature and finds its way into the blurry mental projection of the creature. Letting the mindscape fade for a moment, Lomas draws a beed on the dagger lauching a crippling mental attack against it. The bug is momentarily dazed, mumbling incoherently (as if it didnt already do that).

The bug stands dazed.

Michael charges over following Riejar's lead. Bringing his sword down in a deadly arc, the creature moves to avoid the blow sensing danger even in its confused state. Unfortunately the bug's futile attempts to dodge the blow place it in greater danger as Michael's sword drills into it's collar bone cleaving down to the centre of it's chest. (crit, 30 damage) It is quite dead as it falls to the ground and more blood spurts across Michael's armor.

Akaros seeing that the battle is over for the moment draws his wand to heal Lomas. Poking the stick at the wound he mumbles a word of command and the wound begins to knit itself together. (heals 8 hp).

((OOC. I will be away for a few days in Kyoto. I will try to post when I get back. End of combat damage recap: Michael has taken 11 and is currently at 31; Lomas just took 14 but was healed 8 and is now at 19.))

 

[Someone]

Akaros just smiles at the cleaved form of the ogre bug and continues using the wand [until everyone has 5 or less damage]

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Syfis looks relieved when the last...thing, drops. "Those bugs were very tough, and from what the villagers say there's probably alot more of them." This is too risky. The elf thinks.

"I'll scout ahead." She says, quickly adding, "I've learned alot more tricks, trust me, i'll be fine." She gives them a confidant smile, hiding how worried she feels underneath.

I'll be fine, I can do this...

She sheathes her sword and wand, and then quaffs a silver colored liquid from one of the vials in her pack, and another, green-colored one before casting a spell that removes her from sight. "I'll send a message magically if I find anything of importance, but otherwise I should come back soon to report my findings. If I don't come back in half an hour...well, you know what that means." Her voice sounds a little cold at the end, but it's replaced shortly after with enthusiasm, "Hopefully I'll find Arithel soon and then we can make our escape. Be sure not to have too much fun without me."

She then casts another spell, only recognized by her chanting, and her body vaporizes, as she sets off into the cave complex.


OOC-Syfis drank a potion of vision, giving her a Search bonus of +12, and a potion of sneaking, giving her a Move Silently bonus of +20 and then cast Invisibility followed by Gaseous Form. She still has Mark of Air (+2 Dex, may sacrafice to gain +5 deflection bonus to AC for 5 rounds), Mage Armor, and Fly active. She flies into the cave complex at a speed of up to 180 ft. per round (double moving), keeping close to the ceiling and explores the corridors, stopping and searching for anything of notice but not taking more than a minute at it-she's mainly looking for Arithel and whatever may look like the bug's leader, if any.

Edit-Syphis still has a light cantrip on her from earlier as well.
