Boarding House Siege - Round 7
István moved in an impressive display of acrobatics and once more rebounded off the wall, slashing the escape-minded thug across the face with his rapier.
(Natural 20 hits; Critical confirmed. 2 WP damage, Crits ignore DR)
Upstairs, the
Imp struggled futilely to pull the black mask from Hagen's grip. Frustrated, it moved in close (in the back of Sindr's mind, a mental
Alarm went off) and jabbed the archivist with its scorpion-like tail. Hagen yelped in pain as the stinger pierced the back of his hand.
(Attacks Hagen; AC 24 hits. 2 damage)
With a strong heave,
Hagen manages to tear the mask away from the imp. He stumbles back awkwardly, the mask falling from suddenly nerveless fingers as the effects of his wound takes hold.
(Opposed strength check succeeds; Fortitude save fails)
The
Reave reflexively lashed out at the source of the sudden nearby commotion. Two of his heavy gauntleted fists crashed into his former companion with an uncomfortably loud
crunch and the human thug spun to the floor.
(Attacks square A4; 50% chance to find target succeeds; AC 21 hits; 11 damage before DR. Thug 1 falls)
Sindr eyed the intruding devil cooly.
"Drop dead," the stormtouched mage growled, before cautiously unleashing another flurry of arcane energy. The imp jerked and spasmed as the violent charge struck it, but managed to stay in the air.
(Concentration 29 succeeds; Ranged touch vs. AC 16 succeeds; 2 damage. Imp's Fortitude save succeeds)
Cang Lao quickly moved to assist István against his Reave opponent. Still gleaming slightly under his second "skin", Cang struck hard at his new foe.
(Moves to B2; Attacks reave; AC 28 hits. 9 damage before DR)
Clearing his mind and calling on the power of his god,
Heinrich called a second ghostly sword into being. The spiritual blade slashed viciouly at the imp, who screeched in pain.
(Spiritual Weapon strikes AC 23; 6 damage ignoring DR. Heinrich moves to L4)
Watching the battle warily, ready to aid at a moment's notice,
Pierce called out to the little fiend in an ancient, cold-sounding tongue. The imp stared at the spiker for a moment, before replying in kind.
Infernal:[sblock]
"The mimir belongs to us! Mark my words, Acheron-slave, we'll have what is ours!"[/sblock] With that, the imp began glancing about for a means of escape.
