OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Endur]

I've been delaying to give Thels a chance to post. Velina survived Kripp and the Matron's attacks.

Please feel free to post Kilcif's groveling. After all, just because you are afraid doesn't mean that you have to stop roleplaying.

I haven’t posted movement for Kilcif due to the fear spell; I don’t consider them my movements to make so I’ve done nothing. Endur if you want me to post Kilcif as he grovels at anyone who will give him the time or the day let me know.

The final battle for the noble level of Szith Morcane has commenced.

Of the four T'sarrans you met, three are dead and the undead leader of Szith Morcane, Dorina T'sarran, has met your forces in battle.

Will our heroes survive?

Tune in next time for the next exciting episode of "Death and Undeath"

I'm really kicking myself right now for splitting the group, and for not preparing better for battle. I didn't expect that we would be attacked immediately upon returning, I thought scrying was impossible in the underdark because of some magical radiation (fzaresness or whatever) and that Dorina wouldn't know of our betrayal.

My reason for splitting the group was that I knew that if we appeared with the Morcanes in tow we would be attacked immediately, above the webs, a poor tactical position. I had hoped that the first wave would be able to secure the entrance-platform as soon as the Morcanes came within sight of the (few) defenders and that we would then be able to march together against weak groups of scattered defenders until we would meet and kill Dorina in her inner sanctum. With surprise on our side victory would have been swift and easy. I didn't expect a Wall of Stone across the entrance, or that we would face the full power of the defenders at once with our forces divided...

I suck as a tactician .

At least this battle is a worthy challenge for us. You should thank your mommy for making it so.

Scrying is more difficult in the underdark. Essentially the recipiant gets a +4 bonus to his/her will save to avoid being scried upon under 3.5 (under 3.0, there was -4 penalty to your scry skill check). You did not notice a scrying sensor, which means that it might have been there and you didn't see it, or Dorina, etc. might have had some other method to find out what was going on.

Also, most of Szith Morcane is immune to Scrying because of Mordenakain's Secure Sanctum spells that have been cast. The exception is the crypts above, that are not immune to scrying.

Zedar, Velasta, and Velina did not expect that their plans would fail either.

Although she was waiting for you, Dorina didn't bring in the wizards from the Inverted Tower or the warriors from the barracks level. So there is still a reasonable chance of success. Had you attacked Szith Morcane when you were first introduced to Dorina, you would have been crushed by the full forces of Szith Morcane without a chance of survival.

If worst comes to first, I'll be the last surviving Millithor.

Now... what do when you're the last one of your house and undead...?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

ouch I think we are in trouble...

Kilcif shall not be afraid for much longer I believe. Undead being immune and everything.

 

[Endur]

Vampires are allergic to major circlets of blasting.

[Brother Shatterstone]

Vampires are allergic to major circlets of blasting.

Indeed, vampires are easy enough if you can prepare for them... (Kilcif was) but it just seemed like everything was going sour for us...

If you choose to do so, you should be able to use the Rushing Waters spell to shove the two Drider vampires and the three drow male vampires into the web filled chasm and down to the underground river where they will be destroyed by running water. The only problem with that plan is that you will also wash away Narcelia, Kilcif, and Quertus with the vampires.

Not to turn you off on what ever you feel the best avenue is but would Kilcif be allowed the chance to grab for something solid or is his fear to compelling?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

OoC:Maybe my allies will catch themselves...
'A' please.

Look in the archive and earlier in this thread... What makes you think that Kilcif is going to catch himself? Your comments struck me as rather hysterical though and now my boss is looking at me like I lost my mind... (Again)

 

[Uriel]

Man, I hope I don't kill off my allies...
