Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

H'Roosh

H'Roosh whirls and whips out a leg in a round kick, but the Dread Wraith becomes incorporeal just as his extended foot should have made contact. Badly off balance, his follow up elbow and fist don't even come close to the shadowy form.

This time the Dread Wraith's arm comes from the wall and floor between Marienna and Gnurl. Featherwind squawks a warning. The shadowy arm seems to pass through the Gnome without harming him.

Meanwhile, H'Roosh whirls and whips out a leg in a round kick, but the Wraith besetting Geoffrey becomes incorporeal just as his extended foot should have made contact. Badly off balance, his follow up elbow and fist don't even come close to the shadowy form.

Whirling to face the threat so close to Marienna, Radoon begins swinging at the shadowy figure but seems to be fighting blind.

Anson feels the power of Marienna's spell ripple through him. With Mig aiding his defense, Anson again swings his swords in an interweaving fashion, this time at the Wraith, yelling, "Take that!" His long sword sweeps through the mist twice, jarring the wraith. His short sword hits once as well. The form before him utters an anguished cry, shudders and seems to flow apart, the various bits retreating into the shadows of the room and vanishing forever.

Gnurl will pat his satisfied tummy as he reaches into his Heward's Handy Haversack, and.... miracle of miracles, his Wand of Magic Missile is right there on top! Gnurl whups out the obsidian, ruby-tipped wand, and says, "Entschuldigüng!" The wand makes five rapid reports that sound like fingernails on a chalk board as it spews forth five glowing bursts of energy that speed unerringly into the Dread Wraith's huge arm only inches from the wand's tip. The Arm recoils in haste vanishing once more from view.

The remaining visible Wraith tries to attack H'Roosh, but he moves with a fluid grace that completely eludes the icy touch.

Re-Revised Some More Initiative

H'Roosh 26
Radoon 26
Anson 26
Mig 26
Gnurl 26
Dread Wraith 26
Wraiths 23
Mingo 23
Featherwind 18
Terry 14
Geoffrey 14
Marienna 6

Okay, new round, I'm not sure the ever eager Gnurl had an action coming, but what the hell. At present only one Wraith is present in the room, with the Dread Wraith having vanished back into the walls and floor. Everyone can act on the remaining target or state a ready action for when the Dread Wraith returns.

Too-Eager Gnurl, whose feelings are hurt :-(

OOC: I'm not sure how much Gnurl can move, seems he may be hemmed into the corner here, but he will at least jump around and move within this square so that his displacement will not be given away, and he'll otherwise just be prepared to blast the big shadowy guy again.

Meetings

Taking a minute to orient himself Geoffrey assits H'Roosh and lashes out with his mace striking the creature twice.

1d20+11-> [13,11] = (24)
1d20+7-> [19,7] = (26)
1d6+4-> [2,4] = (6)
1d6+4-> [3,4] = (7)

[sblock]The wraith needs to make two saves DC 15 or be destroyed...gotta love the mace.[/sblock]
 


H'Roosh

Ground and focus, ground and focus . . .

H'Roosh alters his stance slightly to engage the remaining 'regular' wraith. Now moving constantly in varying flowing patterns, he chooses his moment carefully and sends a jab cross combination, followed by a powerful uppercut. The jab misses, but the wraith's efforts to avoid it lead the poor creature straight into the next two blows.

[sblock=Combat Rolls](TH 1d20+9=17, 1d100=18, Damage 1d10+2=6, TH 1d20+9=21, 1d100=56, Damage 1d10+2=11, TH 1d20+4=18, 1d100=81, Damage 1d10+2=11)[/sblock]
 

Anson (Ranger 7) & Mig (Riding Dog)

Anson, breathing heavily in his drained state, spins his swords and readies for the Dread Wraith to reappear. Mig aids Anson by running circles around Anson in a defensive dance.

HP 35/35 (temp) (63) Con 9/16 Touch AC 14+2=16; Mig HP 35 Touch AC 14


OOC: Can Mingo get a clear shot with her warsling at the remaining wraith? If so, she will go ahead and attempt to kill it. Otherwise, Mingo will await the Dread Wraith also.
