Round 2

Initiative:

Priest 20
Radoon 19
Undead Singer 18
Anson 17
H'Roosh 16
Geoffrey 14
Devil 13
Lich 13
Marienna 10
Gnurl 10
Slaves 8
Mingo 6
Mig 5

The dark priest steps behind the armed slave. Then he hardly makes a gesture and says an unholy word. A shroud of dark, writhing tentacles forms around his body. With great speed he begins a second more lengthy casting and shouts down curses on H'Roosh and his allies.

[sblock=H'Roosh, Mingo, Marienna, Radoon and Anson]DC: 20 will save or be afflicted with a temporary curse giving it –3 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.[/sblock]

[sblock=Anybody who makes a DC: 10 spellcraft or knowledge arcana check]The priest cast a quickened spell.[/sblock]

Radoon tosses a pair of daggers at the priest (who is AC20) hitting him with both. This draws a flurry of url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1471986/]punches and kicks (1d20+2=21, 1d20+2=8, 1d20+2=5, 1d20+2=16)[/url] from the slaves surrounding Radoon and one actually manages to land a blow (1d3+1=3) (non-lethal damage).

Anson steps forward and slices into the slaves and neatly drops three of them.

H'Roosh steps lightly in pursuit of the priest and strikes out at the Priest with fist and elbow, landing two solid blows and muttering as he does so. On the first blow, a crackle and spark jump from the jade ring on the monk's hand, and the walls of the room shake with the rumble of thunder. Several slaves fall overcome by the thunder. The Priest is made of sterner stuff and resists the worst of H'Roosh's attacks. The writhing tentacles lash out at H'Roosh wounding him (9 points of damage).

From his position over the body of the fallen singer Geoffrey shouts "Ware the lich on the ice, he has summoned a Osyluth" Geoffrey will then move to engage the Devil. The Devil looks to have thin near translucent skin stretched over prominent bones, but the hide proves surprisingly tough and neither of Geoffrey's blows is enough. (AC25) As he moves in close to the hideous hell-spawn Geoffrey feels a palpable aura of fear in the air around him and even the stalwart man of faith is faced with doubt.

[sblock=Geoffrey]Fear aura DC 17 will save or be affected as by the fear spell.[/sblock]

The Devil attacks with a wicked grin using weapons from end to end, bite, claws and tail (1d20+15=26, 1d20+13=29, 1d20+13=18, 1d20+13=18) and managing to hit the cleric with teeth and claw (1d8+6=9, 1d4+3=6).

The Lich casts another spell the effects of which are not immediately apparent.

Marienna fires her Crossbow (1d20+6=16) and the bolt (1d8=2) hits but does not drop a slave (3).

Gnurl says his now familiar command word and cuts loose with a swarm of magic missiles that slay the two slaves closest to him (armed slave 3, slave 3) and wound a third (6).

Several slaves try to make attacks, but none are successful.

Mingo moves her spiritual weapon to the Lich and while the blow seems to be true, the weapon simply winks out of existence. She has better luck with her sling felling three slaves, but the bounce glances off the Priest's armor. A third shot is equally unable to hit him. Mingo moves a little deeper in to the room.

Mig follows her master and continues to aid him.

The room has become a charnel house littered with bodies. Only a pair of unarmed slaves stand at the back of the room with the Devil and the Lich. The Priest continues to battle H'Roosh.

[sblock=Marienna's rolls]Will Save (1d20+8=27)[/sblock]

OOC: I can't believe everybody made their will saves against the curse. That sucks! Anyway, sorry for the delay in posting. I've got a head cold and I just wasn't feeling up for it last night.

H'Roosh

[sblock=Will Save](1d20+12=25)[/sblock]

[sblock=Revised Action]Scott, H'Roosh's action remains as posted, but rather than stepping to C8 he'll go to D8. The resulting cone of effect on the thunder should deafen many of the slaves, hopefully making them immune to the song. Of course, it may also kill some of them . . .[/sblock]

Gnurl Whiskerling

Again, Gnurl calls out his familiar refrain, "Entschuldigung!" and five magic missiles streak into the lich. (Damage = 15, http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1472711/ )

OOC: Had a minute free at work, so I thought I'd sneak a post in. My internet access will be spotty as best during the weekend, so if Gnurl's turn comes up again, Scott, don't give me more than a couple of hours before npc-ing "G-gnome". (The wand is his preferred action until further notice, anyway.)

And I marked off the charge used from the wand in this post, and the charge used last round, too, so Gnurl's sheet's up to date. ;)

[OOC: FYI -- If my memory of German serves me well, "entschuldigung" means "excuse me." If not, then I guess it's just gibberish, like hocus pocus. But, actually, I was right: Filed In:German Language, Wort des Tages - Anfänger - Audio, German Word of the Day for Beginners, With Sample Sentences in German and English. die Entschuldigung (-en) apology, excuse.
Entschuldigung! - Entschuldigen Sie! --"Excuse me! Pardon me! Sorry!"
Ich bitte um Entschuldigung -- "I beg your pardon"

I can close on the priest and still take an action right? I would get only two of 4 attacks? Is that correct?

OOC: Any more than one attack per round is considered a 'full attack action'. In order to do a full attack action you can't move more than a 5' step. Thus, you can move more than 5' and take a single attack. There are feats that will allow you to move and get a second attack, but I don't believe that Radoon has any of them.
 

Mingo in rd 2

OOC: Sorry, but Mingo's round 2 is not quite complete, even if she cannot hit. And she only hit two slaves in round 2. I stopped after the 2nd skiprock because I needed to see who was still standing when we got to Mingo's initiative (5). Mingo gets a 3rd skiprock in round 2--since the Priest is standing, it is aimed at him.

OOC: You might think that everyone making their will save sucks, but even without the penalty, Anson and Mingo may not be able to overcome the damage resistance for the lich and the bone devil....

[sblock=rolls for Mingo's last strike in round 2]
SR at Priest 19 Mingo's 3rd SR v. Priest (1d20+7=19)
Damage: 6 (5 rock, 1 cold) if it hits
damage SR3 (1d6+4+1d6=6)
Nowhere to skip even if it hits.
[/sblock]

After sending her third skiprock towards the priest, Mingo will make a 5-foot step towards the lich.
