Return of the Slavelords, Part 2 - "Bright City, Dark Hearts"

[Argent Silvermage]

Garynn and Bramble will try to surround the wraith if the others start to fight it. Garynn attacks at 11+4=15 (need to make a touch attack.) doing 3+2=5 points of damage.

Bramble will claw 7+7=14 (assuming the macig fang is still active, (duration of 4 minutes) for 2+2 = 4 points of magical damage. 50% miss chance= (1 or 2 on a d4=3 yeah he hits i hope.)

If no one attacks Garynn will wait for the others to respond.

No matter what he says It appears ta be a Greather Wraith. We needs to put it down right now an' forget 'is long forgotten diety.

Philo -- Human Paladin


Well fiend, I hope your master is most forgiving, for you will soon be facing him again. Our party too is aided by the powers of light.

Your wicked threats only display your evil cowardice; You shall now feel the the cold steel of a blade blessed by Heironeous. By the power of my lord, be gone to the efernal plane from whence you came!!



The Paladin twirls his sword and charges (if possible) or runs to it and attacks, using his Improved Smiting, screaming For Valour!!.


Attack: 13+11 + 1 Chant + 2 Smite +1 Enlarge Person + 2 Bull's Str = 30 (32 if Charge); Damage 2d6+5+6 (Smite) +1 (Enlarge Person) +1(Chant)+2 (Bull's Strength) +1d6 (Improved Smiting)=22

Norbac…
Where you casting Shatter?

Note that I changed my actions the last round (I believed that I cast all the buffs previously, not only the healing spell as it turned to be the case). Instead of casting Shatter, Norbac cast Bull´s Strenght on Philo instead. So he has to add +2 to hit with his greatsword and +3 damage.

This turn, Norbac draws an scroll from his pouch and reads words of courage, erasing the fear from Braggi´s mind.

(read the scroll of Remove fear, fear effect supressed for 10 minutes)

Nadaria bet Meslahan, Bakluni Mnk/Clr

[Ancient Suloise]"The time of your people is over, shadow. Your master was defeated before, and he shall be defeated again. My forefathers brought down the Rain of Colorless Fire on your people, punishing them for their wicked ways. Return to the dust beyond the mountains, for that is your inheritance!"[/Ancient Suloise]

Nadaria effortlessly tumble around the wraith, and reaches up with a sharp knee kick. "Yeaaahh!"

OOC: Put three points into Combat Expertise, raising my AC to 26 (20 + Shield of Faith (2) + Dodge (1) + CE (3)). Second Fort save (vs. wolves bite): 15 + 7 + 1 = 23. Attempt to flank the creature, tumbling through it's threatening area if necessary (16 + 12 + 1 = 29, successes). Attack: 20 + 5 + 2 (flanking) - 3 (CE) = 24 (automatic hit). Damage 1d8+3 = 9. Nadaria regains 1 hp from Lesser Vigor. She is now down 7 hp.

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

OOC: Sorry I'm a little behind. Fortitude save (20)+2=22 Knowledge Arcana Check (16)+8=24
Scorching ray (13)+7=20 vs. Touch AC for (6+2+5+3)=16 Cat's grace still active.

Verrick begins to incant and gesture culminating in a bright ray searing out at the specter.

Blue, lesser vigor from Comp Divine right? Heals 1HP a round, for 10+1 level/round (what level was it cast at) no problem, just remember to include that in your post so I remember


Initiative Round 7
Verrick - 19
Braggi - 19
Norbac - 16
Garynn and Bramble - 10
Sword Wraith - 9
Philo - 7
Nadaria - 6

Verrick quick casts a spell and sends a bolt of searing light into the Wraith, causing it to hiss in rage

Braggi, steeling his nerve, charges the Wraith and slashes at it with his Waraxe…
Attack roll 6+12 +1-2=17 a miss. Second attack is 11+7+1-2= 17, d'oh miss again
…but the specter is fast and moves out of the way of both with what seems like ease.

Norbac pulls out the scroll and reading it, a glow engulfs Braggi and he stands a little talker and shakes off the fear he feels by this… monster

Garynn and Bramble try and flank the Wraith but it seems that the creature moves to fast and they cannot gain any advantage against it and both miss
Wraith has 'Improved Uncanny Dodge'. What is the touch attack you where using against it BTW? I did not see that in your description? Just wondering as some spells they are not 'discharged' if you missed. So now you know that it has at least a 18 AC… the reason will become clear next

The Sword Wraith hisses "Sooo be it fools… you will serve me as spawn of my making. But first you die Paladin!" and it Spring forward to lash at him with its sword…
Moving forward 15ft, provoking an AoO from Braggi, Garynn and Bramble, there attacks Braggi 5+12+1 =18, a miss (ah now you know it has at least a 19), Garynn 5 +4 =9 miss, Bramble 7+7+1 =15 miss… Oh BTW it has Mobility so its AC vs. AoO is +4 higher).
Attack roll against Philo is 24 a hit (note yes it is Incorporeal BUT its Sword is not). Damage is 13 points (it is a Bane weapon against Good) AND Philo loses 2 points of Constitution, costing him another 6 hit points (1 pts/level)
…and as the ices sword cuts across Philo's shoulder, he fells the icy touch of the grave! Philo staggers under the undead's baneful strike and groans in despairs… but only for a moment…

…Philo then cries out for value and justice, attacking the Wraith with holy wrath…
(note that you are not yet enlarged, but you do have Bull strength, so you attack and damage is one less) 50% chance to miss, 67% a hit. Second attack is 10+6+2+1=19, a miss (ah now we know it is higher then 19)
…his first holy empowered strike burns an angry white light across the specter's chest and it hisses in pain and rage "ARG you will not stop me Paladin! I will torment you for all eternity!!!"

Nadaria tumbles behind the Wraith yet it seems to move in such a way that she cannot flank it, her fist still slams into the specters side, although it is so cold to touch the undead…
Ki strike allows you to hit monster, and normally you have a 50/50 chance to miss it but with a Natural 20 I will wave that, even though you cannot score a critical against it

Conditions…
Verrick has taken 13 points of damage
Braggi has taken 10 points of damage
Norbac has taken 13 points of damage
Garynn and Brambles are still unwounded
Philo has taken 24 points of damage, and lost 2 Constitution points
Nadaria has taken 7 points of damage, and lost 2 Dexterity points

Sword Wraith has taken 46 points of damage

OOC: Garynn cast Flame blade the round before. it lasts 4 minutes so he has plenty of time to spare.

Garynn starts singing again (inspire courage) and swings at the undead again. to hit 19+4=23 (crit range of 18-20) crit threat 16+4=20 crit: damage 2d8+4: 7+3+4=14

Branble attacks Claw: 2+7=9, claw: 15+7=22 for 2+2=4 points, bite 1 miss,

OOC: Yes, that's correct. In the future, if I use spells from non-SRD sources, I'll quote them in whole the first time I cast them. As I am only a 1st-level Cleric, it will only heal a total of 11 hp. Once this combat is over, I will switch my feats so that I have Practiced Spellcaster, I'll be casting at 5th-level

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

Verrick, seeing that the Sword Wraith has focused on the Paladin, begins casting a spell Shield him.
