Metropolis IC: Into the Darkness

[Corlon]

Just a quick question jemal, the spell has a duration of a certain amount of minutes (I'll look it up later) but they're only drained of health on the first shot right?

Making your spell only drain 1d6 +5 strength, or am I missing something in the spell?

And you here a clank of armor behind you, in the cave you see a shadowy figure, about the size of a human.

"We have company"

Sqill'Mar will Hide and observe whoever just arrived for a possible death-attack. He won't show himself until he knoew who this stranger is and what his intentions are.

OOC:
I do believe it drains Str every round, but I don't have the book on me either. It would make sense though, seeing as how it's a fairly high lvl spell... Otherwise, it'd be just like Ray of Enfeeblement, which ALSO does 1d6+5 Str Damage at lvl 10, and is a 1st lvl spell instead of a 3rd lvl one.
Also If I remember correctly, being dropped to 0 str by Sucking touch turns the victim into a shadow under the casters control. (Subject to the same limits as Animate Dead for HD controllable)

Sulli's got the book with him.. HEY SULLI! Wake up and tell us what Sucking touch actually says (Or call me after you get this, I'll be getting up around 6 tonight)

Also known as BUMP.

OoC:Sucking touch:
Casting time: 1 action
Range: touch
Target: one creature
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving throw: Fortitude Halves
Spell resistance: yes

this spell gives the caster a stregth-dranning touch similar to a shadow's(see MM). if the caster makes a successful touch attack, the subject suffers a 1d6+1 per two caster levels(maximum +6) temporary strenght abillity drain. a successful fortituide save halves the abbility damage.

if the subject's strenght is reduced to 0 or less, he dies and is transformed 1d4+1 rounds later into a shadow permanently under the control of the caster. a caster may control up to 2HD of shadow creatures per caster level at any one time. if the caster also controls animated dead(per animate dead spell), the total cannot exceed the 2HD per caster level.

this is all that the spell says, so if this dosen't help then i guess it's DM's call.

 

[Jemal]

OOC: whoops, that's right, it's a touch spell. N/m Then... We'll leave the door closed for now (Jemal the PC would know it's Touch, but Jemal the Player didn't until now). So how it works is I can use the str. draining for the whole duration, but it's A Touch Attack that deals 1d6+5 (Fort DC: 20 for Half) every time I succeed.. I think i'll save it for later.
(HMM.. just thought... EMPOWERED str touch... lvl 5, dc 20 still, but 1d6+5X1.5 =Min 9, and Max 16. Could do excellently.)

Thanx Sulli.

IC: Jemal is about to signal for the door to open when he hears the Rat-man saying something about company. Turning he looks at the figure. "Yes, what is it? I'm getting ready to destroy a troll, if you don't mind."
He watches this new being warily.. If he/she/it does anything offensive against me or approaches 'aggressively', I'll cast 'magic missile' on it with all 5 missiles. Otherwise I'll just keep the spell ready in mind to cast, and just Talk to the thing.
"Well, are you going to come out of the shadows or not? I'm not immortal yet, you know, I'm on a schedule here!"

 

[Timothy]

hey, necrophile, I'm a Rat, not a lizard! That's Tzz'Arch, but uin another game........

 

[Jemal]

OOC: Rats, Lizards... They're all rodents to me.

 

[Corlon]

now that no one has shot her, Kitana's character can come on in.
Take it away kitana.

Oh yeah, and from the other room you here a humoungus burping sound coming from behind the door.

 

[KitanaVorr]

The figure clanking forward finally came into view and certainly not exactly what any of them had expected. Tall, quite tall for a human actually, and judging by the way breastplate had been curved specifically, most certainly a woman. The suit of blackened armor made little noise other than the soft clanking against the stone floor, its rivets supremely done so that all of her movements remained seamless and silent.

A gleaming bastard sword with intricate detail rested in her gauntlet clad hands as she carefully made her way forward.

“Well,” the disembodied voice echoed with a laugh from inside the helmet. “What do we have here? A glass menagerie?” The darkness made it difficult to see within the slitted eyeholes. “Did you get lost on your way to the little boys room?”

 

[Jemal]

"As a matter of fact no." Jemal says as he recovers, thinking 'a woman, how truly fascinating.. I wonder if she's undead?' "My name is Jemal.. And yours would be?"

He clears his throat when he hears the burp "Well, unless you are planning on attacking us.. which I'ld suggest you NOT do.. Then perhaps you could assist us in subduing this troll?" Without waiting for her response he turns to the rest of his group. "Now, I would prefer to take this creature out with my spell. Killing it in other ways may prove difficult, and none of them will leave us with a potential ally... Which my spell most certainly will leave us with. Now then, if we can all set up.." He turns back to the woman "Well, are you going to assist us or not, ms. tall, dark and Busty?"
