ew that sucked lol

Garnet seems to be judging the best way to get a clean strike at the erratically flying head.

Mariah has a clear shot but the darting head proves difficult for the archer to hit and the arrow flies wide.

Pari slashes the animated body and it teeters on its heels before toppling over and crashing to the tower floor with a solid thud. It twitches then lies still. The hound whirls as it sees the body drop and leaps to bite the head tearing a gash in its greenish flesh.

The head distends its jaw and blasts out a high-pitched shriek. The sound chills you even in the stuffy warmth of the lighthouse…

OOC: Continuing Round Four. Heinrich is up, followed by Mariah, Garnet & then Pari. Everyone must make a DC 12 Fort save vs. the shriek or be paralyzed for 2d4 rounds.

"Heinrich!" Shouts Garnet. "Go see what Giocco is doing -- Don't let him play any more with that book! We'll finish this thing!"

Garnet steps in, lunging with her shield while swinging her axe in a deadly arc.

OOC: TWF, axe and shield

Heinrich points his hand to send another flame jet, but freezes in mid action. (see post 307)

OOC: sorry glasseye, missed the call for a save

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Pari shakes off the effect of the screaming head and feels a cold anger settle over him at the atrocities being committed here. He quick-steps around the fallen body of the lightkeeper and swings his scythe in a vicious arc, planting the long curved blade deep in the skull. He then swings again, slinging the impaled head off of his weapon and across the room where it smacks against the wall, slides down and is still.

[sblock=Actions/Rolls]
GE, I assumed this was a kill shot, though it could still be usurped by Mariah's action. If not, please feel free to correct in your summary.
Fortitude Save (1d20+7=27)
Move to J6 for the flank.

Her curses are now bordering on a steady chant of infernal. Her next arrow notched she lets it fly once more only this time aiming for the larger headless torso.

 

[GlassEye]

OOC: You all need to learn to follow directions! Thanks, Mowgli, for actually rolling the save I asked for.

Heinrich, Mariah, and Garnet are all paralyzed (previously posted actions for these characters didn't happen because you are all, Pari excluded, frozen and unable to move for a short time).

Pari finally strikes! The scythe cuts through the air and the shriek abruptly cuts off. The head flies (not of its own accord) across the room and to the floor in a rain of greenish brain matter.

Eventually the paralysis will wear off but for the moment, Pari is the only one able to move around.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Pari looks around at his allies briefly, takes stock of his magical arsenal (such as it is) and realizes he can't do anything for them at the moment.

Now to make sure young Giocco doesn't get himself - or us - into any more difficulty!

He moves quickly to the trap door and peers downward. Assuming the way is clear he makes his way down the ladder, stopping to pat Tagaiwi absently on the head in reassurance that it's not his fault the spirit infused senior Lanterna made it up the ladder.

[sblock=OOC]Is Giocco anywhere to be seen here?[/sblock]

 

[GlassEye]

Giocco is nowhere to be seen on the floor directly below the light. He must have gone further down the tower.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Not here either. Hmmm. I think the power of the summoning is broken so they should be safe up there.

He calls Tagaiwi to heel and heads down the stairs.
