[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 3450959, member: 12941"] Alexis and Dav, realizing that there is no chance of flight, grimly battle on. Dav moves to flank the undead, hoping against hope that his magic sword can finish it off. However, soon both summoned apes are upon him, and while one of them (interestingly, the latter one summoned) vanishes, the first remains present. Alexis, flustered by the web, and feeling the weight of all the companions with whom she has traveled on this venture (as she is all that remains of those that first set out to the Whispering Cairn), simply cannot focus enough on her spells. At the end, while Dav scores a couple of hits, and Alexis manages to catch the creature once with a spell, Dav is brought down by the claws and bites of the apes. Just after Dav falls, Alexis feels the ability to use her magic fade as the undead touches her yet again. With whatever failing efforts she gives, her mind is eventually shattered by the madness of the undead's touch. The last thing she sees is the green-robed man wearing his leather mask, staring at her as the undead destroys her mind. [sblock=OOC]Here comes the really, really, abbreviated version, skipping anything not important. The casters all delay and/or simply move out of the way. Dav: 5-foot step to flank 3; 13+, hit, 37%, hit 6 damage Alexis: def 1!, fail 3: attacks A, 12+ hit, 2 WIS drain 8: squeeze move 9: steps attacks D, no hits Dav: hits, 4 damage Alexis: ROLLS ANOTHER 1 ON THE CONC CHECK 3: hits for 3 drain 8 & 9: full attack; 20 total damage Dav: fails miss chance Alexis: makes conc checks, fails touch attack, hold charge 3: hits for 4 drain 9: vanishes 8: attacks 15 damage; drops dav Alexis: hits with the touch attack for 8 damage 3: hits for 2 wisdom drain Alexis is stuck and has lost the ability to cast spells (wis of 9)... I'm gonna call it. Status & Init: Viktor: 12 damage; 13 (actually only 12) WIS drain; helpless, entangled and stuck 8: 9: 6: delayed 5: 1 damage Llyr: 33 damage; 5 WIS drain; entangled; uncon & dying Bub: dead Brannak: very dead 2: 1 STR damage 1: 2 STR damage Dav: protection from evil,some rounds remain; 2 WIS drain; 20 damage Alexis: shield of faith, 39? rounds; entangled; 9 WIS drain 3: 3 damage 4: 14 damage; uncon & stable[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
