Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 4- The Second Invasion)

[Deuce Traveler]

"Well, that could have worked better. Anyone have any other ideas," Phly asks as he ponders for a moment.

 

[Nephtys]

"Well, if the element of air is opposed by the element of earth, perhaps we should grab our useless little mephit by the feet and bash his head repeatedly into the chain of air." Barok shrugs, "Or just hit it with a rock."

 

[GlassEye]

Silas grins. "Yeah, well, that might work." He'll take his own flask of water and pour it onto the chain of earth.

 

[Fenris]

"If we have some oil, and as I recall Barok packs heavily, we can use fire to dissolve the water chain." adds Dartis

 

[Nephtys]

"Maybe we should only use the oil as a last resort. We won't have much use for our old gnomian if he's cremated."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The mephit shuffles uncomfortably as Barok speaks and gives him a look a shark might give a surprised swimmer. Silas strolls past the two, taking out his own water flask and pouring the contents unto the chain, but having nearly no effect on the strong earth energy that surrounds the links. A flask of oil from Barok seems to have more results once the rogue drops a lit piece of cloth unto the tainted chain, but even that produces little more than some loud sizzling and a cloud of steam before the oil and rag based fire is dowsed by the chain with the light blue aura that it was set against.

 

[Nephtys]

"Hmm, Maybe we should stop doing this by half-measures, get a few barrels of water from the surface and dump them on the coffin all at once. We could even pay some Gnome pesants to do it. What do you say Phly?
Or we could always use the mephit. Would be a lot less work that way." he smiles.

 

[GlassEye]

"Ah, well, there is that. I have one last thing to try, however." Silas makes a motion for all to stand back a little. He grins. "I'm not sure what effect this is likely to have. So, just in case..."

Silas invokes a minor word of power and points at the chain of air power. A small orb of acid shoots from his finger towards the chain. Casting Acid Splash

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Silas' spell seems to have a greater effect as magic meets magic, causing the white chain to glow an almost blinding white before it to overcomes the assault made against it. Barok simply sighs and takes another glance at the mephit.

DM's Hint: Before we go back to town, or throw mephits into magical chains, I would like to remind that group that the mephit said that the chains must be overcome or slackened. Obviously the chains are bound with elements that are stronger than what you have thrown at it thus far, so maybe you can continue your attacks on only one chain instead of dispersing your attacks on the lot of them, or there is a way to cause them to loosen instead of being broken... they are being held by three gnome-sized statues.

 

[Nephtys]

ooc: So we could just smash the statues. Our power-attackers could easily overcome the DR of stone. Anyone have a club, pick or hammer?
