Uulark Simental

When he is next able to act, Uulark intones a few brief words in an unknown tongue while carressing his holy symbol, and then touches Rogash's shoulder, whereupon Rogash is surrounded by a shimmering field of pure goodnes. "Speed the aberration to the next world, my friend, you are aided by all the goodness that I have at my command."

OOC: Rogash is the recipient of a Shield of Faith (qv., 1st level cleric spell, duration 6 minutes) that grants him +3 deflection bonus to AC

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai shudders to himself as a single phrase from Uulark drops a room full of opponents, but he brings himself under control, lobbing an arrow at the chaos beast.

"Aye, thank you. You have more than done your part and I shall do mine. We bested such a beast before and shall do it again." He consentrates on filling the Chaos beast with arrows.
 

Uulark Simental

OOC: Since Rogash just said that they have faced such a best (that's what we call a "beastly pest" in my country) before, and so presumably know best how to assault it, Uulark refrains from charging into melee with his spear, and, instead joins in the volley of missile fire. Uulark hurls a dagger into the beast with all of his might.

OOC: Ooops, got ahead of myself again! This will, I suppose, be Uulark's round one action, (he has initiative 21, see post 168) unless something unforeseen occurs between his turn attempt in the surprise round and his regular action in round 1.

Combat!

[sblock=ooc]Again trying something a little different. The entire combat for this encounter will be in this post, separated per round in sblocks. I'll update the descriptive text probably in a paragraph below the particular round's block.

Spellcasters: include a caster level check with your invisible castle rolls, please.[/sblock]
[sblock=Surprise Round]
21 Uulark: destroys kobold zombies
18 Friadoc: attacks with his sling (hit, 1 damage)
17 Rogash: fires an arrow (natural 1=miss)
15 Talishia: casts seeking ray (hit (SR 8+6=fail), no damage)
12 Tanith: attacks with crossbow (9+5=miss)
12 Shaimon Hu'u: fires an arrow (17+7=hit, 11 damage)
[/sblock]Uulark displays his holy symbol and makes his proclamation of faith. The small zombies trip over each other as they retreat to the far corner of the room. The power of his faith is too strong though, and they are eventually overtaken by it and brought to their final rest.

A volley of projectiles fly through the opening toward the chaos beast, but only Shai's and Friadoc's manage to do any damage.

Talishia's bolt of magical energy finds its way to the beast, encircling it in an impressive light show. The spell quickly fizzles out, however, and the creature seems none the worse for wear.

[sblock=Round 1]
21 Uulark: casts searing light (hit (CL 9, fail), no damage)
18 Friadoc:(fort vs. AoO: 8+6=14); attacks with nanchaku (hit, 4 damage)
17 Rogash: quickly fires two arrows (miss; hit, 7 damage)
15 Talishia: casts seeking ray and uses her veil of storms (hit, 31 damage)
12 Tanith: fires her crossbow (miss)
12 Shaimon Hu'u:fires an arrow (miss)
10 Rokelsh: attacks with greatsword (hit, 27 damage)
8 chaos beast: AoO vs. Friadoc (hit, 5 damage)
2 Caerwyn: attacks with greatsword (hit, 16 damage)
[/sblock]

Uulark casts another spell, but in contrast to his last attempt this one seems to have no effect.

Friadoc attempts to tumble past the creature, but gets caught by one of it's grotesque appendages that seems to melt back into it's body. Friadoc, shocked that the mean-looking thing didn't hurt nearly as bas as it appears it would,thwacks it with his magical nanchaku for a healthy blow.

Talishia lights up the room again as the wraps the ugly beast in her magical energy. A high-pitched sqeal erupts from the thing as the electricity does it's work.

Cearwyn hacks at the beast with his greatsword as the thing's scream die, but suddenly another guttural roar comes from the stairs behind the group, and a huge, shaggy-looking man bounds from the steps and lands two huge blows to the already dead chaos beast. As the men finish their routines with their respective greatswords, the creature, an amorphous mass of flesh in life, is left in a stagnate pile of goo. Larger chunks of the creatures flesh lie in dismembered heaps close by.

The pieces seem to remain motionless as the room goes quiet.

[sblock=PC Status]
Uulark: 30/30
Friadoc: 27/32
Rogash: 39/39
Talishia: 28/28
Tanith: 23/23
Shaimon Hu'u: 36/36
Rokelsh: 37/37
Caerwyn: 51/51

"Ha! order? Chaos only knows chaos!"

Caeryn looks duboisly at the lightning still danceing about the beast and at the limbs randomly appearing and dissappearing.

Blast! I have no range weapon! The paladin looks to the others, then his sister. Drawing his great sword he looks again to the chaos beast and moves forward ...the little kobolds' recently released bodies from the cursed non-existance of undeat enrages the young man and he moves forward

OOC: how far to the beastie?
