[LPF] Allbright's Shadow

[Maidhc O Casain]

[section]

Kalinn moves up the stairs quickly, Hafísbíta drawn and ready. Have to do better this time than in that miserable showing at the Cathedral . . . it's a piss poor showing I've made for the HaGruut thus far . . . let's see if I can remedy that.

Once she gets up to the elf, she taps him on the shoulder and whispers, "Hold a moment, Daylily. I can perhaps see a little of what we're getting into." The ice-princess cradles Winterbite against her shoulder and places her gloved hands on the door with a look of concentration.

Elenka, human summoner

Elenka moves forward to Fury while Relic is consulting with Daylily and casting other spells. She uses her own wand to enhance the rogue's weapons with just a bit of concentration on her part.

"There. That should help and spread the effort around a bit. No sense in Nevyn doing all that on his own when others can help. Anyone else need a paladin's blessing upon their weapon? Sorry, Aradra, this won't work on bows."

If no one else speaks up Elenka will stow the wand.

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

When Relic stops to speak with Fury and enhance his weapon Fury nods and holds a hand up to stop the older man.

"Thank you, Nevyn, but Elenka enhanced my weapons for me while you were helping Daylily."

He nods again to Relic and moves up to take position with the other warriors.

Drevezh'korol, Eidolon

Drevezh'korol stands stoically while preparations are being hastily made. He glances at Elenka and receiving a nod in reply he moves up to support the warriors surrounding the door. He is not nearly so imposing as when enlarged but his knuckles still crack with ominous promise as he flexes his fists.

"We are ready."

[Satin Knights]

Daylily braces himself against the door, which is relatively easy for him to hold, and gives the squires a rest. Relic starts zipping through the air, which is a bit surprising since he hasn't done that much before. Tapping his friends' weapons with a wand he starts the preparations for battle.

The others come up the stairs, and seeing the massive oak door, fifteen feet across, it will swing wide on the landing when it opens. Borric realizes his first choice of positioning was on the hinge side where it would smack him right in the face. He adjusts for more appropriate place. Elenka helps Orlando by enhancing his weapons with a wand of her own as the pounding on the door and squeals beyond it rise to a fever pitch.

The blue demon of the sea pulls a rod from her pack to help extend her own buff, enhancing her claws before stuffing it back away. She floats towards the opening edge of the door, to join Drev.

Before the old man gets he last enhancement spell off for the group, Kalinn lays her hands on the door, and...[sblock=Kalinn] sees a horde of small dretches. They have not been a problem for the squires to hold back, but an arriving beast, squeezing through a narrow in the passage and coming full force at the door, the twelve foot pot bellied beast has the head of a tuskless elephant and fists the size of tree trunks. Horns rise up from the back of his head like that of a bull or minotaur. Stomping on and kicking the dretches out of the way, he is coming...

Kalinn gets a surprise round action

Aradra, staring at the dead bodies with crossbow bolts sticking out of them with a curious look in his eyes, starts when Elenka his name. "Oh, that's fine Elenka. Relic I think will take care of it."

Getting his bow ready, Aradra keeps a sharp ear out, while the rest of the party prepares themselves.

Aradra is also going to make an active perception check. Something doesn't feel right about those bodies.

With most of his more powerful buffs already active, Anaerion draws his crossbow and ensure that it is loaded. At once, Malkvoian says "You know, you've had that crossbow for 3 years now, and every time you think your going to use it, you don't. Seriously. Draw a rod or something more useful, because that think is totally not useful."

"And how do you know that I never used it? I believe we only have known each other 2 years now?"

"Well, as long as I have known you you've never used it..."

"Malkovian, focus."

[sblock=OOC]
Anaerion is going to draw his crossbow. And again, Malkovian is going to make fun of him for it.

[Satin Knights]

[sblock=Aradra]The crossbow bolts in the bodies are thin. And they are not sticking in as deep as you would expect. They are actually small; smaller than small. The next odd thing is that they are from a repeating crossbow. And looking at the green liquid on them that has almost dried into the blood of the people, you surmise they were poisoned as well. The shots in the back were expertly placed to be difficult to remove by oneself and to cause the most damage. [/sblock]

[section]

"Daylily, when I say 'Do it,' yank open the door and clear out of the way. You might stick a leg out to trip what's coming through . . . it's BIG. Two, one, DO IT!" As she gives the signal, Kalinn leaps back far enough to clear the door as it swings open, landing just a little to the side and ripping Hafísbíta from his scabbard.
​

[/section]

[sblock=Actions]Might be pushing the limits of surprise round action a little, but technically the speech is a free action and the leap (to BG29, BTW) would be the move. Worth it for the dramatic effect alone if it works. Hoping the thing coming through will stumble as it hits what it THINKS will be the door and meets no resistance, and if Daylily tries to trip it as it comes through we could get a little advantage . . .[/sblock]

[Satin Knights]

Daylily and Kalinn in unison, spring out the way of the door as Daylily flings it open. A twelve foot tall, shaggy blue beast, with the head looking like a tuskless elephant and limbs like tree trunks charges through the door. Behind him, a squealing horde of dretches and a black fog roll out into the tunnel.

As the beast emerges, Daylily swings his horsechopper with uncanny force and precision. Upending the beast, it flops face first on the landing in front of everyone. The lights go out, not that anybody is hampered by this, and a thick black fog pours forth from the doorway. The foul stench chokes the lungs. The fog also starts filling in from behind you as well, as if it was a flanking calvary charge.

[sblock=Kn Planes][sblock=DC 12]Dretches are the horde of creatures behind the big one. Stinking Cloud is the their most useful trick.

A balban that makes a successful grapple check against a foe one or more sizes smaller than itself can smash the opponent into the ground, walls, nearby trees, or other solid objects as a standard action. This deals 2d8+18 points of bludgeoning damage to the victim. Further, the victim must succeed on a DC 26 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. A balban can perform this action once per round as long as it maintains a grapple.

Ouch, you won. Should be an easy fight now.
Everyone needs to roll a Fort save vs. Stinking Cloud DC 13 or be nauseated. Several castings have filled the chamber.

And the Stinking Clouds obscure vision beyond 5', including darkvision. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).
