IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

"Hells," Talashia curses. The bad thing about undead; they tended to be unnaturally durable. And now, on top of all that, Caerwyn was having one of his fits again. She incants in Auran, invoking the power of the Storm Lords, and stiffens as she feels the power arc through her.

There is a small thunderclap, and a tight line of lightning streams from her hand, striking at Z2 with uncanny precision.

(Seeking Ray. If Z2 falls before I go, retarget to Z1. To hit: 21, 16 damage http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1685321/ )
 



Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai frowns, muttering, "I never could remember what does and don't hurt dead 'uns."

As the childlike giggle commences, however, the large man turns his attention to the open doorway. "Seems to me what we really need is the squirt who keeps calling these beasties up, and a squirt might be just he way to bring it out."

So saying, Shai points his hand to the space where the small creature vanished, spitting out gibberish that sounds like a gush of water. Sure enough, the ceiling down into the room suddenly pours down several gallons of water.

[sblock=OOC]Shai has faerie fire memorized, but its burst area's pretty small if he guesses wrong. He's going to try spreading out Create Water to cover as much of the other room as he can / sees in hopes of noticing a form or flustering the creature into returning to visibility. It's about 8 gallons of water total, so if he manages to spread it right, there at least ought to be some sputtering to try to hone in. ;) [/sblock]

Talishia is not the only one who stiffens; the undead menace's rotting muscles tense uncontrollably as her electrical magicks course through its body.

[sblock=Rokelsh]
Regaining control and finding himself no longer surrounded, Rokelsh redirects his great blade, this time with a bit more skill.

[sblock=combat stats]
Attack/damage (Flanking/power attack 2) (1d20+12=18, 1d20+7=14, 2d6+11=19, 2d6+11=17) AC 18 for 19 damage, AC 14 for 17 damage on Z3 (Flanking with Rogash)
Rokelsh AC 18
[/sblock]

Rokelsh's first blow lands true and staggers the zombie. His second swipe falls short, however, as the thing rights itself and raises its club.

It seems a downpour in the room beyond as Shai impresses himself with his spell. Just for a moment, in the open doorway, he thinks he can see the outline of a small, fairy-like figure as the water pours over her invisible form. She quickly disappears again however as she darts into the room somewhere above the battle.

[sblock=Uulark]
OOC: "Half-Barbarian"?? :D

Uulark steps over z4 and stabs at z2 with his spear

to hit = 25
damage = 6

A giant sucking sound comes from the ogres chest as Uulark pulls his spear from the oozing hole.

[sblock=Rogash]
Cursing in frustration at the pain in his head, Rogash counters with his axe (1d20+11=13), but his aim is off and he manages to somehow miss the large target before him. The cursing only becomes more creative as he prepares for the foe's next blow.
What's left of the wicked beast's decayed lips turn up into a twisted grin as the dwarf's axe takes another chunk out of the wall.[/sblock]

[sblock=Caerwyn]
the enraged Caerwyn is not sure which to hit next, but his head is spinng so bad, he just randomly choozes one:

d2
1=z1, 2=z2

dicisions (1d2=2)

the enraged paladin of freedom takes two whacks at the zombie between him and Rogash

First attack (+2 att: Flanked with rogash, -4 att/+4 dam power attack)

first attack (1d20+12=28, 2d6+14=26)

second attack (+2 att: Flanked with rogash, -4 att/+4 dam power attack) :

second attack (1d20+7=10, 2d6+14=24)

**KLANNNNGGGG!!**

the great sword slices through with the first attack and on the second it cracks the floor as the zombie moves forward to attack the dwarf.

the veins in his head bulge as the fury is heightened by the pathetic miss and his eyes turn redder as his ability to logically think is further moved to the depths of his mind while the inner beast emerges forth.

**AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!***
[/sblock]The paladin will later realize that the zombie never moved to attack the dwarf, but only staggered a bit before falling and dying for a second time, and that, in actuality, he was out maneuvered by a dead zombie.

Buurt misses the thing again as he takes a wide swipe at the ogre in front of him.

Z1 notes the raging paladin and takes advantage of his lack of focus, landing a heavy blow.

Z3 raises his club, but the dwarf is ready for it and easily ducks the blow.

(OOC - Did Talashia note the momentary appearance of the creature in the water, and which way it went? Also, if it's above the battle, and Tala knows it, how high is the ceiling? Can she glitterdust without blinding half the party? :))

Talishia might have noticed a fading streak of something fly into the room and disappear, but I can't imagine that she'd immediately know what it was. See what a spot check gets you.

The walls are about 10 feet tall.
 


Uulark Simental, Cleric6, AC18,FF15,T13, HP30/30

Uulark pulls back away from the combat (but maintains his defensive posture toward the foes still standing), (5 foot step to the north), to lend another pair of eyes to find the creature. (Aiding another?)
