If Thoughts Could Kill

Bellus, distraught at the nature of his foes, steels himself and continues to stab at the Thing .

Bellus tries bravely to injure the undead abominations, but only one of his kukri strikes bypasses their natural and inertial armor (6 damage). But Groknar finishes the creature with two powerful axe strokes (23 and 26 damage).

Outside the wall, Verra manifests two powers and moves to the corner of the room.

The three creatures remain in the side room attack Bellus, Groknar, and Qataria. Groknar is hit lightly (7 damage), Qataria a little harder (11 damage), and Bellus avoids all but one clawed rib (6 damage). The paladin swings twice with her flamberge, and another one of the horrors hits the floor.

In the hallway, Zelestine does not fare as well against the other four creatures. The fast moving one hits her four times, and one of the slowed creatures also connects (30 damage). Darian hits the fast moving one with his missles (17 damage), and Zelestine hits once with her greatsword (18 damage), but all four continue pressing forward.

Bellus continues to hack away at the Thing , clearly displeased at having to close quarters with such a creature.
'My mother warned me about days like this!'

<4 kukri strikes as above>
 

Verra, satisfied with his defenses, began his barrage on the psionic creatures. Arrows flew from his bow in rapid succession, targeting the fast moving creature until it stopped then the others.

"Fall back Zelestine, I'll cover you," Vera called out.

[OOC: Rapid Shot and another Attack with the Haste Action +21/+21, +21 to hit, Damage of 1d8 + 2d6 (Cold,Shock) +10]
 

'well, that worked farily well.' Qataria thought to herself as she went after the next closest beast in the similar fashion

OOC: Only reckless attack this time.
+20 to hit, 2d6+26 damage, AC 15, HP: 79
 

Pleased to have dropped a foe, Groknar turns his axe on another enemy, swinging horizontally at the beast like a lumberjack. For Jobu! Groknar screams as he protects his floating metal friend, the only real friend left in his life since the death of his brother.

OOC:+21/+16 1d12+15+1d6 Acid; don't forget Cleave!
 

Frowning at the enemies' resilence, Darian calls out "Fall back Zelestine, don't let them overrun you." Then he readies the useful Glitterdust conjuration to blind them once Zel backs away as he backs into the corner next to Verra. Since the creatures seemed vulnerable a slowing spell, they probably also be blinded by the sparkling motes of glitterdust.

OOC: Glitterdust, Will DC 19, 21 vs evil or be blinded. Defeats invis. 10 ft rad. 10 round duration.
 

Bellus has little luck striking his opponent, but he hits hard with a single kukri strike (7 damage). Groknar cleaves the same creature (critical hit, 44 damage), then pounds it to dust with two more strikes (29 and 21 damage). With his final cleave he hits the duncharath facing Qataria (another critical, 40 damage).

Due to her reckless attack, Qataria is hit several times (20 damage), but she proceeds to eliminate the last creature in the side room with two strokes of her mighty sword.

Verra's first two arrows take down the fast-moving enemy in the hallway, and his last arrow wounds another (19 damage). Unfortunately, one of the creatures responds to his attack by walling off his corner of the room, leaving Darian and Zelestine to handle the remaining three.

Zelestine is hit twice (19 damage), but moves back to Darian's position. Darian's spell goes off, and two of the creatures are blinded by the twinkling motes.
 

OOC: 134 damage in one round! New personal record! Actually, I thought these were undead, hence Bellus' sneak attacks don't work; wouldn't that grant immunity to my own critical hits?

Groknar roars with victory at his kill. The enemy was vanquished! Where was the cowardly magician and archer and his charge? Although surprised by the ectoplasmic wall, Groknar is undeterred by the wall (and just about everything else!) and deals with the problem the only way he knows how: by attacking with his axe. Time to eat axe! he screams to the deaf wall as he strikes it with his axe, intent on battering a way through.

Doh! Yes, they would be immune to critical hits. Well, I believe you and Qataria would have got them on damage alone this round. But thanks for the reminder.
