[LPF] Faith and Good Works

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Well, that answers that question. Shall we finish 'prepping' and commit to this fight?"

Bren rubs his fingers absently across his holy symbol, preparing to finish a few prayers before the battle.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera frowns with consternation, "The Architect doesn't appear to like it when you try to disrupt his plans."

"Yes, let us plan more. I take it we have a few moments for that spell of yours, right Bren?"

"I agree, ganging up on them one at a time is best. I also agree that we might have to do this twice more before opening the door so we should be conscious of conserving some spells and abilities."

"I have a grease spell that I can put under the feet of the two on the right. It will not affect them right away, but it should once they go solid, I would think."

While she is talking, she put away her longbow and drew her glaive once again.

"Ah, well, good try anyway, Cythera."

Fury keeps his eye on the immobile constructs and nods distractedly at Breninyr and Cythera's tactical plans.

"Yes, sounds good to me. But if we gotta do this two more times maybe we should get to it so Bren's spell doesn't wear off before we finish. So, circle round to the left, concentrate fire, and focus attacks on one until it drops? Ready when you all are."

"OK, let's do it. I'll hold the rest of my prayers until we know more about what we're dealing with. It'll take a few more seconds to get up to full speed that way, but we'll hopefully be able to conserve some of our resources.

"As to the Blessing already granted, this fight will be over - one way or the other - long before it wears off."

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera nods and begins her last preparations.

She cast her spell to make the floor slippery where two of the constructs are kneeling. Once completed, she begins her dance of inspiration.

Commenting, "I am ready. Let's go!"

She charges into the chamber as her companions also step through the final veil. Her arcane energy glowing on the glaive raised high above her head as she moves to slash down at her opponent once she gets within reach.

As Cythera is casting her grease spell Fury remembers a battle fighting next to the gnome, Zelena, when he stepped on a kobold body and nearly twisted his ankle. Seeing the bodies and bones on the floor he realizes there is something that he can do to help himself with that and he casts his feather step spell.

"Now I'm ready."

Fury follows in the battle dancer's wake but his more cautious advance prevents his arrival before the magical constructs are able to act.

[Systole]

GM: [MENTION=29558]Mowgli[/MENTION] Single action as this is the surprise round, please. Unless you're running?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Yep, running.

 

[Systole]

As soon as Cythera steps across the final veil, the guardians visibly change, becoming opaque and solid. Their forms ripple as well, becoming heavier and angular, as if encased in armor, and a shield and war-pick appear in their hands. Fury and Bren follow the warrior maiden with slightly more caution.

Cythera's charge is sidestepped with almost embarrassing ease -- if the guardian were living it would surely have some insulting one-liner to deliver at the moment. As it stands, the constructs turn to face their attackers with no emotion and no sound, but their reactions are slower the invaders'.

[sblock=Combat]Party is up. Perception checks all around, please.

The picture notwithstanding, the guardians now look like they're wearing shield and armor.

Guardian 1: AC ??, uninjured, heavy pick/large shield in hand.
Guardian 2: AC ??, uninjured, heavy pick/large shield in hand.
Guardian 3: AC ??, uninjured, heavy pick/large shield in hand.
Guardian 4: AC ??, uninjured, heavy pick/large shield in hand.

Cythera: Charge (-2 AC), Bless.
Fury: Bless, Feather Step
Mowgli: Bless, Run (No Dex bonus to AC)
