House Millithor in COSQ: part 4

[Pyrex]

OOC: Sounds like your basic Bull Rush to me.

 

[Endur]

ooc: Would those be unavoidable hits, touch-attacks, or reflex saves against a DC determined by the vampires attack bonus? Bull Rush.

 

[Serpenteye]

OOC: Sounds like your basic Bull Rush to me.

ooc:
Except that the purpose is not to push the defender back but to inflict damage upon them as a falling object. The Bull Rush mechanics seem fine, though, they pretty much make the collisions unavoidable.

 

[Endur]

After several hours, the revolt on the Commoner level ends. Some of the drow commoners and goblins are dead. Some fled. The rest surrendered. The mutants are slain or surrendered. There is no sign of the alleged high priest.

A shrine is found in the rear of the warehouse the black pudding fled into, but there is no sign of the black pudding.

Various other ooze creatures are discovered and dealt with near the entrances to the commoner level, including gray oozes, gelantinous cubes, and ochre jellies.

The surviving commoners are systematically Dominated by Torellan and the other vampire and then put to work in restoring the level. They are questioned on their knowlege about the cult and its activities.

The Shrine is leveled (after the proper precautions have been taken) and the stones dumped in the river (in such a way that they do not dam the river and flood Szith Morcane).

The Vampirization of Szith Morcane continues at the maximum capacity, every day.

 

[Endur]

As the Matron and the noble members of her family stand at the entrance to the noble level, the vampires (except Torellen) tranform into dire bats and fly into the great crevice.

The Great Web is on fire. The Chasm is filled with fierce winds, thunder and lightning, Rain and Hail.

One after another, the gaseous forms of the vamires come floating back towards the noble level and their coffins in the Shrine of Lolth.

 

[Endur]

The Gargoyle unfurls his wings to fly up, notices the pyrotechnics, seems to think better of it, and mutters words that sounds like:

"In the Darkness Where the Shadows Lie"

After speaking, the gargoyle changes shape to a gargoyle-sized fish and jumps off the noble level, falling into the river below.

 

[Endur]

The day after the commoner revolt (and day before Edwin arrives), the Lich Eilos walks into the Matron's audience room with the head of a drow male clutched in his hand by the hair. The lich bows and offers the head to the Matron.

"Tooman Tendrick was the priest of the Elder Eye. After Quertus disrupted Tooman's ritual and forced him to flee, it was child's play for me to follow and slay him."

 

[Dalamar]

"That wasn't part of your plan, was it, Mother?" Torellan says sarcastically as his children return, beaten. Torellan goes to take a peek at the chasm, ready to pull his head back if anything nasty is coming his way.

"Did you have a better plan, child? By not speaking sooner you have forfeited your right to critisism."

ooc: Endur, I did allow for some individual initiative from the vampires, and they should have realised that it would be unwise to fly directly into a Storm of Vengeance. Whatever, I grow tired of questioning your desicions, it makes me look like a very sore loser. I'll just blame myself in the future.

The Matron strides out of the chamber, delivering her orders on the way. She orders any vampire she encounters to change their shape into bat-form and head at full speed to above the entrance. Once there they are (circumstances allowing) to ascend as high as possible and crash down into the attackers in dire-bat form.

ooc: What's the spell-selection of our NPC wizards?
