"The hatred of this being for Philo could be this thing´s weakness. As long as he lives, the rest of us can beat him" thinks Norbac, who steps ahead and calls for more healing energy.

[Cast Cure moderate wounds on Philo, burning Sound Burst; heals 8+3+6=17 hit points]
 


Braggi Grundersson (6 lvl Dwarf Fighter)

Norbac's strong words wash the fear from Braggi's mind. Seeing the wraith focusing on the Paladin, Braggi attempts to circle around to get a better swing at the creature.

(ooc) Attempting to flank for AoO. If I cannot then I will just swing away.

1st Attack 19+12+1=32 (I am guessing that is a hit. ;) ) Dmg = 4+7+1=12 :(

2nd Attack 10+7+1=18 DOH!

Philo -- Human Paladin

OOC: DM, I believe if I lost 2 points of CON, I should have lost 6 hp, not 12


Philo doesn't waver from the Wraith and in fact grows in determination.


Well, fiend, it is you who are going to face the end. If you strike me down, my comrades will surely send you back to oblivion. I am ready to face my master in the Seven Heavens; are you ready to face your lord?


Philo attacks the undead twice:

Attack 1: 16 + 11 + 1 Chant + 2 Bull's Str = 30 (31 if Enlarge bonus is active);
Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 1 chant + 2 Bull's Str = 12 (or 13).

Attack 2: (Smite) 13 + 6 + 1 Chant + 2 Bull's Str + 2 Smite; Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 1 chant + 2 Bull's Str + 6 Smite + 23, 1d6 (Improved Smiting) = 26


I'll let the DM handle the percentage roll for hitting an incorporal.

(occ D'oh! you are correct?! OK sorry about that will edit. Philo has six more HP then I thought. For some reason got that mixed up [/occ]
 

Gnarley Forest, night

Initiative Round 8
Verrick - 19
Braggi - 19
Norbac - 16
Garynn and Bramble - 10
Sword Wraith - 9
Philo - 7
Nadaria – 6



Verrick mutters archaic words and going up to touch Philo back lightly and a blue shield forms in front of the paladin…
Shield spell, acts as a Tower Shield +4AC to Philo

Braggi felling his courage return bellows a challege and swings with his mighty axe…
No flank bonus against the Wraith as it has Improved Uncanny Dodge, but if it moves, you still get an AoO (but it has Mobility so its AC is +4 against those) first attack roll hit… but only magical weapons even have the 50/50 chance to hit so…
…but the his axe passes through the creature without affect!

Norbac also touches Philo’s back and restores much of the damage wroth by the Wraith sword… not all but enough for the paladin to continue his battle with the undead!

With a flaming sword floating above him, Garynn stabbing the fiend from the side, causing the creature to hiss in rage, and yet it does not waver in it intent hatred and concentrations on Philo!
chance to miss for the Badgers claw (as he has Magic Fang cast on him) 50/50 is 74% hits
One of Bramble’s claws also cuts into the fiend although the badge hisses with pain as the coldness of the monster seems to flow through its unholy touch

The Sword Wraith hisses with pain and rage at the stings it has received but continues its attack on Philo “You will serve me long as a spawn fool! I will use you for the most menial of tasks, and your suffering will be great!
Attack roll total (vs. 23 now) are 28 and 20, one hit, the second miss! Damage is 11 points of damage AND Philo loses 5 points of CON (ok that means 3hp/level) costing him another 18 points of damage
…and the first slash stabs into Philo’s side causing him to moan in pain again as the icy touch of the monster’s blade seems to drain part of the life out of the paladin!

But he does not waver and strikes at the creature with his sword as fast as he can…
note that you have Bull’s Strength on you and that gives you +2 to hit and +3 to damage (as you are using a Two-Handed Weapon) but no enlarge. Chance to miss 50/50 for first attack is 33 a miss! Second attack (and again not really in the rules but something I do… if you use ‘Smith’ on a evil, you don’t get the 50/50, even though I did roll a 57% on the second chance
…his first seems to just pass through the fiend as it laughs at his ‘feeble attacks’ but then it howls with pain as the second blow cuts its form deeply causing it to stagger back “Curse your powers Paladin… I will feed I you… I will defeat you!

Nadaria steals herself against the icy touch of the undead and tries to strike the Wraith twice with a Ki strike!
Heal one HP. Attack rolls 8+4+1 =13 miss and 15+4+1=20 a hit! 50/50 chance to miss is 87% a hit. Damage is 5+2+1 =8 points of damage
…her first fist passes through the shroud of the monster, cold as death it feels to the young monk, but the second strikes true into the Wraith face! It wails and starts to waver “NOOOO I thousand years I was promised NOOOO!” and then it is gone, the black sword drops to the ground with a dull thud



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 36 points of damage, and lost 7 Constitution points (max HP reduced by 24HP until restored)
Nadaria has taken 6 points of damage, and lost 2 Dexterity points

Sword Wraith took 93 points of damage if you care; ;)

That shield blocked his last blow against Philo which might just have saved his life…along with the Healing from Norbac, if he had gotten that hit! Scary

Actions now?

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

Verrick continues to light the area with his sword and watch for any further surprises. "What in the nine hells was that thing?" He looks over his companions. "Do I look as battered as the rest of you?"
 

"I stunned he could get the sword, when he like air." says Norbac, more used to material foes. "But I won´t mind he gone and I can´t ask him how he did that. He was a warped and evil thing."

"Now I´ll do what I can with our wounds. We have fought well, and tomorrow Trithereon will provide."


[Norbac still has a good number of spells, so he´ll start casting CSW and CLW on Philo (23 healed), CMW on Verrick (15) and himself (17) and CLW on Braggi (14). Spells spent are Dispel Magic, Shatter, Sound Burst, Obscuring Mist.]
 

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

"Thank you friend Nobac. It looks like we've managed to survive another battle together." He points at the Wraith's sword. "Clearly we can't leave that infernal thing laying about, but I for one am reluctant to touch it."
