[LPF] Coils of Flame

[Maidhc O Casain]

Thratnias gasps as the lion bursts from the pit and bowls him over. "You'll not stop up, mortals. Lesaar will see to you and complete our quest." Having delivered this last, melodramatic threat, the warrior perishes. Meanwhile, Drev has made pulp of one of the lesser guardians, and is stepping up to help with the last, Ellamin brandishes mace and whip, cowing the remaining foe, and Heinrich has pulled out his wand and begins firing his trusty magic missiles at the creature.

Though the fall of Thratnias and Ellamin's fearless show have him shaken, the last Salamander steps single-mindedly up to Arianna and attacks. Only one of his blows gets through her stout defense.

In the back of her mind Arianna notes the sound of a door slamming in the room to the East.

Map Correction: I'd already uploaded the new map before realizing I hadn't moved the Salamander, and didn't want the hassle of uploading again. The Salamander is at D7.

"Desperate fools always threaten that they will be avenged." Turning on the next one, "You won't live long enough to avenge anyone!"
With all the practice she is getting, the fire serpents are getting easier to hit. Four out of five claw attacks tear into the latest one who dared to challenge her for dominion over this world.
"There are more behind me in the next room!"

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man

Drevezh'korol takes a step towards the remaining salamander. If there are others in the room beyond as Teq Oola has warned they'll have to wait until this one is taken care of first. Elenka's wooden guardian clasps hands together once again into two massive clenched fists and beats the salamander once, twice, three times until it lies dying in the mud.

His grim satisfaction is short-lived as Drevezh'korol feels his feet slip from under him and he tumbles down into the pit of Elenka's creation. After the expected thud there is a groan of exasperation.

Elenka halts in mid-step with a look of chagrin on her face as Drevezh'korol tumbles into the pit. Since there is nothing she can do to help him until the pit vanishes of its own accord she moves over to Arianna and Teq Oola and withdraws a wand.

"If there's more we should heal quickly. Do you require specialized healing or will a simple wand of curing help you?"

Save vs. Pit: Ref+2 (1d20+6=10) for Falling (3d6=10)

I'm guessing 144 total damage this round is enough to take the salamander out. If not, I'll edit.

And just like that, the fight is over. The last Salamander falls, and once more hissing gasses and rumbling rock are the only sounds other than the harsh breathing of the party.

[sblock=OOC]Good guess. Well, that was a nice little tune-up for the BBEG . On the bright side, whatever the sound of the closing door portends for the future, for now there's nothing rushing through to attack. You've got a breather.

Anaerion, Arianna and Heinrich all level as of this date (09/27/2013). Usual rules apply (new HP but don't recover from wounds taken, gain new spell slots but not new spells, etc. ad nauseum yada yada yada.[/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

"Standard healing helps me, but Teq needs the specialized healing of eidolon rejuvenation. Good thing I got wands of both." While pulling the wands out of her haversack, "I heard a door close, or something like that from that next room. But, I don't hear anything moving around now."

"I can't charge ahead without now to check without doing a lot of repairs." If nothing is coming her way, she uses one wand eight times in a row to repair the damage to Teq. Then Arianna moves the group back away from the salamanders enough to not include them, channeling a couple times to heal her friends. "This one if more efficient for the big guy." Tapping Drev three times, all but a couple scratches on the treeman heal. "If you don't mind trading of charges?" Arianna uses Elenka's wand to heal the mermaid portion of her souls for an equivalent three charges off of her wand before returning it and finishing off with her own for another three taps.

"Okay, anyone else?" Looking the others over, they don't look like they have been scratched.

"Mistress, they were hitting us too much. Give me a minute and I think I can fix that." Arianna sighs, leans back on their tail, and sends Teq away for a moment. "Hey, its hot in here!" After waiting about a minute, she starts chanting. The beast returns, but his skin looks thicker and tougher than before.

{35 rounds later, she is ready to fight again.}

Still needing more for herself CLW (1d8+1=5, 1d8+1=7)

"Guess I'll just have to save gnomish justice for the next folks." Elliman chuckles as he puts his morningstar away. He keeps an eye on the offending door as the others heal and scavenge the dead.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Heinrich gets his 12 points of damage healed quickly, then takes a defensive position to cover the door.

ready action: shoot magic missile at any thing coming through the door

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The sound of the door slamming actually came from within the next room - the door can't be seen from where you are now. Anyone actually moving to a point where you can see into the next room before all of the healing is finished up, please let me know.

While Arianna starts healing , Anaerion decides to spend the next few minutes reviewing his spells, to prepare for the next challenge. Drawing out his spell book, he starts reading the some of the spells, trying to determine which would be the most effective.
[sblock=OOC]
Anaerion will be submitting his level 9 stats tomorrow. I have 90% of it done, just need to look it over before submitting it. I will also add his memorized spells tomorrow. Anaerion will float there, so after Arianna is done, he should have about half of his fly spell left.
