Radoon his foe dispatched tosses daggers at the Lich on the Altar, but finds he is unable to hurt this powerful undead.
Anson and Mig retreat outside the room. [sblock=Anson]Go ahead and roll your cure. How far outside the room? Marienna is going to cast an area cure spell that might still reach if Anson and Mig are only on the stairs.[/sblock]
H'Roosh leaps nimbly onto the block of ice to attack the Lich. As fangs sink into his
leg (2d6+4=9) it becomes clear that he and the Lich are not the only two creatures on the Altar. Some sort of invisible phantom hound guards the Lich. His fist flys out to connect with the Lich and a spark crackles from his ring, while the blow lands and wounds the Lich the magic seems to have no effect. H'Roosh quickly notices the evil altar he is standing on is most unpleasant (DC: 16 Fort save). It is also very slick. (DC:12 balance check to stay upright if moving or attacking, which you've already rolled successfully this round.)
Geoffrey continues to move towards the lich but continues to attack the devil grazing it with a backhanded blow from his mace.
The Bone Devil
attacks (1d20+15=18, 1d20+13=31, 1d20+13=24, 1d20+13=16) again managing to catch the cleric as glancing blow with a
claw (1d4+3=4).
The Lich grins at H'Roosh and he notices that it doesn't seem to be as old and crusty as he expected. The figure before him is clearly undead, but the robes are new and while the skin is dry and taunt it doesn't have the look of mouldering age, but he does have the look of a very old man. However, as he lashes out with a
dagger and hand (1d20+16=19, 1d20+11=28, 1d20+13=18), he moves with incredible speed and grace. The dagger
cuts (1d4+4=7) into H'Roosh's shoulder and the Lich's grin widens as a brutal surge of energy errupts from the dagger pushing against H'Rhoosh and he feels his feet slipping on the ice. (Roll d20+str mod.-4 for the ice to resist a bull rush from the magic of the dagger).
Marienna takes a step forward next to Mingo and call upon her healing magic which flows out in a wave washing over everyone in the room. (roll 1d8+8 for curing to yourself) H'Roosh notes the Lich shudder from the magic, while Geoffrey is disappointed to see some of the injuries on the Devil close up.
Gnurl whips out a scroll and steps up behind Mingo to touch her back as he finishes it. A ring of pale green light forms around Mingo and quickly spreads to encompass all the party members in the room but H'Roosh and Radoon who have now moved too far away. (Protection form Evil.)
With Anson fleeing the room, Mingo moves forward 5 feet and slings a three skiprocks up at the lich, hitting once with a weak, glancing blow. Her movement puts H'Roosh back in the circle of protection from Evil.
OOC: Spot checks DC: 25 for everyone in your actions for round 6 please. You may also make a Knowledge arcana check DC 25 or a knowledge the sea check DC25 if you wish.
