Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [IC]

[Knightfall]

Eutharic was worried, at first, that the entangling vines were going to choke his master to death, but he can see that the fungus encrusted vined are only holding Galzadar motionless, not that it matters while the shadowstar elf is stunned from the effects of the curse placed on him by Vok. The tiny quasit is quickly getting bored; he knows he should stay and keep an eye on Galzadar but he just can't stay focused. His chaotic nature gets the better of him and he flies down to where Phar is standing.

Henry sees him coming and warns the paragon elf. "The demon is attacking!"

"Whoa, wait! I'm not attacking attacking anyone! I want to help!" Eutharic shouts back. "I swear on my master's life! Is that ugly undead bastard dead yet?"

"What can you do that they cannot?" Henry snaps as he motions towards the crevasse.

Eutharic lands next to the edge and peers down through the darkness. "Why did they go down there?" He pauses. "Oh , I know that spell. Yes, he likes to use it when overwhelmed. When desperate. And the blades too." The tiny demon pauses as he tries to see through the magical gloom. "Has he sprouted his magical spider legs yet?" He asks Phar. "If he does, he'll be able to climb back up here. You can't let him do that."

"Spider legs?" Henry asks.

"It's a spell."

Bracing himself for the razorsharp blades whirling around Tarrack, Caerth flaps his batlike wings in order to grab the ghast lord. Only having eyes for his enemy, the druid nevertheless calls out to his friend Screech.

"Fly to Carnell to investigate!" he orders the owl. It hoots once and then flies off towards the entrance of the cave.

OOC: Grapple attempt. Step 1: Attack of Opportunity from Tarrack. If it hits and deals damage, the grapple fails. Step 2: Melee touch attack: 1D20+10 = [9]+10 = 19 (I think if that fails, I can make my second attack according to my BAB, but I'm not sure?) Step 3: Opposed grapple check: 1D20+10 = [6]+10 = 16 So it depends on how the DM rolls for Steps 1 and 3 whether it succeeds.

Tarrak turns out to be a tougher opponent to surprise by trying to grab ahold of the ghast lord. He slashes out at Caerth with Spinereaver and cuts a deep wound in the half-orc druid's chest.

OOC: Tarrak - AoO vs. Caerth with Spinereaver: 1D20+13 = [8]+13 = 21 (hit) 2D4+7 = [1, 3]+7 = 11 2D6 = [1, 5] = 6 20% Miss Chance: 1D100 = [62] = 62 Caerth takes 17 points of damage.

OOC: Ouch! HP 13/58

Maur knows he should retreat, but having the enemy so close and also close to death! If only he could strike a decisive blow or two! He attacks with a perfect imitation of the last move, but this time he accounts for the swirling shadows and a solid thump echoes from the wall behind Tarrak

Spoiler: Actions

No retreat, max damage (18) - now I'm sorry I did't use that spell for +4 to damage instead of +4 DR
Full attack on Tarrak: 1D20+16 = [14]+16 = 30

1D100 = [42] = 42
1D20+11 = [7]+11 = 18
1D8+10 = [2]+10 = 12
1D100 = [7] = 7

OOC: I edited the last post, but it may be useless, and Maur might know it is useless and wouldn't do it. Or it might simply be forbidden as a retcon See OOC post

Phar ignores the tiny demon and takes aim at Tarrak once again and fires another brace of arrows. One of his arrows veers off into the darkness but the second arrow slices across the ghast lord's face. It doesn't do much damage but every little bit helps against this foe.

OOC: Phar - Elvencraft Longbow (with Precise Shot and Rapid Shot): 1D20+11 = [4]+11 = 15; 1D8+2 = [1]+2 = 3 (miss) 1D20+11 = [19]+11 = 30; 1D8+2 = [1]+2 = 3 (hit) 20% Miss Chance: 1D100 = [67] = 67 1D100 = [71] = 71

The ring of blades slice into both Caerth and Maur once again. At the same time, the unholy energy from the damning darkness also burns Caerth once more. The half-orc druid falls out of the air and lands on the floor of the crevasse.

Tarrak relies on the two spells to hurt his foes while he casts another inflict spell on himself to shore up his damaged body. He manages to get his spell off despite Maur and Quinn still menacing him. He glances at Caerth and then turns and laughs at Maur. "Death will take you all and I will feast on your flesh."

"Caerth, no!" Aureus calls out. She takes aim at Tarrak more and fires two more shots, but she just can't find the mark through so many bodies and the damning darkness. "No, no, no!"

OOC: Unholy damage to Caerth from Damning Darkness spell: 1D6 = [5] = 5 Tarrak - Ring of Blades damage to Caerth and Maur: 1D6+9 = [4]+9 = 13 That is 18 more points of damage to Caerth. He goes down and is now at -5 hp. Maur takes 13 damage from ring of blades. Tarrak - Casts Defensively (DC 17): 1D20+14 = [3]+14 = 17 (success, barely) Tarrak - Spontaneously cast Inflict Serious Wounds: 2D8+9 = [6, 1]+9 = 16 Aureus - +3 Composite Longbow (Full Attack) firing into melee: 1D20+9 = [5]+9 = 14; 1D8+2 = [8]+2 = 10 (miss) 1D20+4 = [17]+4 = 21; 1D8+2 = [3]+2 = 5 (miss)

While Sir Ghal cannot see the half-orc druid fall, he hears Aureus call out Caerth's name. They need to take down the ghast lord quickly. He knows the darkness will hurt him badly but he cannot just stand by while others suffer. He rushes into the darkness and is soon standing next to Maur, risking the ring of blades, while Quinn flies above him just beyond Tarrak's deadly bane blade. Even with the enhanced speed from his boots, he cannot traverse the distance over the rough terrain and attack the ghast lord as well.

The unholy energy burns his skin but he grits and bares it. Tarrak must fall even if it cost him his life. "Sir Quinn, try to help Caerth. Maur and I will try to keep this bastard off you!"

OOC: Damning Darkness extra unholy damage vs. Sir Ghal: 1D6 = [4] = 4 That's a total of 9 damage to Sir Ghal. He is now standing next to Maur. Caerth is lying on the ground on the other side of the ordained champion.

Quinn's next turn: fly down, retrieve Caerth and his weapon, fly up and place him safe from the edge. [ might need 2 rounds to do this.

 

[Neurotic]

You may need to fly lateraly first, moving up is half move and caerth shouldn't take more damage
