[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3327471, member: 20308"] [b]Combat, Round 1 Cont.[/b] Tali moves in to J19 and takes a swing at the skeletal body of the black veiled "woman". His strike pentrates cloth, but glances sharply off of bone. The cultist on the floor continues to wail. He rolls up to his knees, and clutches his head in his hands. His hood falls back to reveal a gruesome sight. The cultist appears to be William (one of the cultists that attacked you at Professor Reeger's laboratory), but his ink-stained features are drastically changed. His hair has been replaced by the rippling tentacles of one of the flying heads, and his ears appear to be growing rapidly into leathery bat wings. His glassy eyes close and he says, almost peacefully, "Thank you master." As soon as those words escape his lips, his eyes snap open, the small bat wings elongate with a popping, crackling noise, and he begins to scream. His keening increases in pitch, and there is a loud tearing sound, as though wet cloth were being ripped apart as William's hands tear his transformed head free from his body. The body falls limply to the floor, and with a loud beat of it's wings, the flying head's mouth distends to inhuman lengths and the scream becomes all too familiar. (Fortitude Save, DC 12 everyone (except Anvuss and Shoot), paralyzed for 2d4 rounds if you fail). The yellow robed man picks up another stack of paper, and halfway to the crate, he stops in place, apparently unable to move. The black veiled woman's body continues to pack the crate, oblivious to it's attackers. [b]Combat, Round 2:[/b] From within one of the large cauldrons, and strange sight levitates up. An ornate metal frame holds a clear glass canister (about 2 1/2 to 3 feet high), inside which is what looks like a brain floating in a bubbling fluid. The brain in a jar rises up towards the ceiling (The ceilings are 10' high), and then a telepathic voice like rotting flesh oozes through your minds. [COLOR=YellowGreen]"You will cease in this foolishness! I am Bryllys, lord of knowledge, conqueror of undeath, and the master of this complex. You will terminate your pitiful assault and assist me in my work, or you will serve me as an undead slave, I care not which."[/COLOR] [sblock=Seat]A chime rings in Seat's ears. Bryllys' voice echoes in his mind as it says, "Take the codex of bone to the black carriage in the loading dock to the north." (Please make a DC 16 Will save, or feel compelled (as per suggestion) to take the book to the carriage.) If you are paralyzed, you'll still need to make the save, but you can happily ignore the suggestion until your paralysis wears off.[/sblock] [i]OOC: Raven is up next in Round 2.[/i] [b]Damage recap[/b]: Tali (15 of 16 hp remaining) Fang (9 of 13 hp remaining) Raven (11 of 17 hp remaining) Anvuss (17 of 18 hp remaining) Black Veiled Woman (Head) [spoiler]7 damage[/spoiler] Black Veiled Woman (Body) [spoiler]no damage[/spoiler] Flying Head [spoiler]no damage[/spoiler] Yellow Robed human [spoiler]no damage, paralyzed for 8 rounds[/spoiler] Bryllys [spoiler]no damage[/spoiler] [u]Initiative Order[/u]: Bryllys = 20 Raven = 19 Seat = 16 Shoot & Fang = 13 Tali = 6 Anvuss = 6 Flying Head = 4 Black veiled woman (body) = 3 Yellow robed human = 1 [Sblock=Map] [code] A |B |C |D |E |F |G |H |I |J |K |L |M |N |O |P |Q |R |S |T |U |V |W |X |Y |Z 01**|tt| | | | | | | | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | | | 02**|tt| | | | |tt|tt|tt|tt| | | |**| | | | | | | | | | | | 03**|tt| | | | | | | | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | | | 04**| | | | | | | |Bb|Bb| | | |**|**|dd|**|dd|**|dd|**|**|**| | | 05ss| | | | | | | | |tt| | | |dd| | | | | | | | |**| | | 06ss| | | | | | | |Bb|tt| | | |dd| | | | | | | | |**| | | 07ss| | | | | | | | |tt| | | |**|**|dd|**|dd|**|dd|**| |**| | | 08ss| | | | | | | | |tt| | |tt|**| | | | | | |**| |**| | | 09**| | | | | | | | | | | |tt|**| | | | | | |**| |**| | | 10**| | | | | |tt|tt|tt|tt| | |tt|**| | | | | | | | | | | | 11**|tt|tt|tt|tt| | | | | |Bb| |tt|**| | | | | | | | | | | | 12**| | | | | | | | | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | | | 13**| | | | | | | | | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | | | 14**|**|**|--|--|**|**|**|--|**|**|dd|**|**| | | | | | | | | | | | 15**| | | | | | | | | |**| |**| | | | | | | | | | | | | 16**| | | | | | | | | |**| |**| | | | | | | | | | | | | 17**| | | | | | | | | |**| |**| | | | | | | | | | | | | 18**|**|**|--|--|**|**|**|--|**|**|dd|**|**|**|**| | | | | | | | | | 19**| | | | | |ct|Vg| |Ti|As| | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | 20**| | | | |Lo|cr|cr|Bw|Rn| | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | 21**| | | | |bb|tt|tt|tt| | | | | | |**| | | | | | | | | | 22**| | | | |Se| | | |Fg|Sh| | |co| |**| | | | | | | | | | 23**| | | | |tt|tt|tt|tt| | |co|co| |co|**| | | | | | | | | | 24**|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|kg|co| |co|By|**| | | | | | | | | | 25**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**|**| | | | | | | | | | 26 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [/code] [b]Terrain[/b]: ** = Wall ss = Stairs dd = doorway -- = rubble-filled doorway tt = table co = rusty cauldrons the size of a medium creature kg = rotted wooden kegs and debris ct = cot cr = crate bb = Codex of Bone Bb = dead body Empty spaces are clear, open terrain (stone floors in this case).
