Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[DM_Matt]

If we can spare the time I will continue to use the wand. If enemies keep moving to trap or engage us we may have to keep moving.

Shando and Alethia do as stated.

The demon roars and blasts a huge gout of magma towards the city, strikinbg the defenders guarding the bridge in a huge area, and decimating the force, though many of the strongest had fire rotection up. Barnak manages to avoid it, thanks to Helm's shield (form which everyone gets evasion), but Murdoch gets hit (98dmg - 5 for res, he is at five), and the magma coats him and continues to burn.

Seeing his last ditch effort unsuccessful and Taern, the high priests, Murdoch, and Barnak still alive and in range to unleash their most powerful offensive spells on him, The demon continues to hover, but appears deep in thought for a moment. Suddenly,
the army moves as one, everyone quickly gathering up equiptment, dragging seige weapons, and even working together to unpitch tents. They begin to retreat back towards the mountains.

Meanwhile, the demon rears up and beats his wings, managing to fly backwrds while at the same time, blasting enormous gusts of wind back at the city blocking missile fire. A balista bolt not deflects bounces harmlessly off the demon's armored skin.

The three stone giatns who were fighting Shando and Kayla are joined by two more, and all pick up rocks to throw at that group, keeping the pressure on during the retreat. Shando is hit twice (52dmg), Timrin twice (one crit, 78dmg, and Kayla once, knocking her out again.

Murdoch will plunge in the river to cool the magma (he was flying over it anyways, and will simply drop). Would his fiendish relisience (3hp/rnd for 1 min - I believe) stack with the fast healing 5 from Taern Hornblade? If so, he'll also activate this. If not, he'l shoot the demon twice (quickened + regular blast), both vitriolic, with empowered, maximized and purified applied to them.

Barnak will follow Murdoch, in case he passes out and needs to be teleported & dispensed healing magic.

Alethia turns her attention towards the stone giants menacing her friends, glowing so brightly she seems to be made of light, rather than mere flesh and bone. Reaching into her bag of holding, she draws out a handful of sparkling glass-like dust and prays to Selune. "Dear lady help me protect my friends from these monsters." she pleaded and held her hand palm up towards the giants.

The diamond dust flashes once and a blast of diamondlike shards lances from her upturned palm and expanding outward into a glittering cone and striking the giants, leaving her friends strangely unharmed. She'll repeat the process with the cannon-forged demon if she's close enough with her second attack. If not, she'll concentrate on the giants.

ooc:
The cone of diamonds dazzle evil creatures in the area for 2d6 rounds. She's a 10th level cleric, so the attack with do 10d6 hit points of damage, I think anyway.

"That's right, run!" Dyria shouted triumphantly at the retreating army, before noticing the giants attacking her friends. Extending her whip once again, she charged into battle to assist them.

Dyria will power attack 5 on her charge: +26 to hit/1d6 + 21 + 1d6 electricity

ooc:
Hmmm. I think this is the first time Alethia has really let loose with her spells. Oh and if somebody could, I'm going to need some help with calculating her damage/attack roll thingies when she levels.

Murdoch will plunge in the river to cool the magma (he was flying over it anyways, and will simply drop).

Barnak will follow Murdoch, in case he passes out and needs to be teleported & dispensed healing magic.

Jumping into the water will in fact prevent additional damage. Since cohorts are technically NPCs, I feel I should point out that if you still want to do some army smashing, Storm of Shards is an 80ft radius spread.

Forgot. Was casting 4th LVL Diamond Spray. Not storm of shards.

 

[frostrune]

Shrugging off the pain of possibly broken bones, Timrin scoops up Kayla and rushes for cover from the giants barrage.

OOC: Once 'safe' he will use his wand one more time to at least stabilize Kayla then see how the battle fares before making his next move.

I was referring to Barnak, who has all five levels of a prc dedicates to BOED blasts (all BOED spells added to spells known, spontaneous metamagic for a couple metamag feats that increase dmg v evil, etc) , but doesnt seem to use em.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando beats feet with Timrin, knowing that he is currently in better shape than he is.
