[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 184511, member: 743"] William starts to drag Nuala towards the group, and pins her yet again. Her struggles break her free though, and she manages to cast a spell. It has no apparent affect though. Galrond shoots a magic missile and it breaks through! Billy follows it up with a cold blue ray of Disintegration, which takes a large chunk out of her left side, but fails to destroy her utterly. The crowd begins to pelt William with copper, amazed that the large man-lion could let a small slip of a woman escape like that. Nuala slips by William and casts a Power Word Stun, which again drips off of his Spell Resistance. She also summons a massive, spectral, clawed, undead fist which slams into William, stunning him. Galrond casts a feeblemind at Nuala, but her will is much too strong for it to affect her. Nuala again gets silvered while William gets coppered. Billy hits Nuala with two silent greater Dispellings, and manages to take out quite a few spells, one of which is the Holy Channel which has prevented any damage dealt to her from taking affect for more than a moment or two. With the Repulsion also gone, Gundarag and Lanis begin to head that way. Amastacia moves up and casts Hold Monster at Nuala, but Spell Resistance renders it ineffective. Gundarag fires his mighty bow at her and hits! Lanis charges and bites her fiercely, while William is stunned by the fist again. Nuala casts Power Word Stun on Lanis, then moves back out of his reach, raising a Wall of Force for cover. Billy moves up and waits for an opening, while William gets pelted with copper again. His Stoneskin has so far prevented him from actually being harmed by it though. Amastacia moves up and begins to sing a song of greatness for William. Gundarag charges and tries to grab at Nuala again, but she turns him aside with a fierce slash across his arm with her dagger. She then freezes him in place like she did Cristoph, and leaps back to cast a domed Wall of Force around Kargur and Amastacia. Amastacia manages to escape it, but Kargur finds himself trapped and begins to dig his way out. As the giant fist slams into William, Galrond casts another Feeblemind, and this time Nuala’s face contorts into one of rage, as drool begins to work its way out of the side of her mouth. Billy tosses a fireball at her, but it bounces off of her Spell resistance. His second one fares better though, and leaves her scorched and burnt. His display earns him a silver shower, and he catches one. Gundarag’s and Lanis, both disabled by the hag, receive a shower of copper. Amastacia continues singing and fires at Nuala, missing by a small margin. William hits her with a Dimensional Anchor, but it splashes against her spell resistance uselessly. He then gets hit and stunned again by the fist. Nuala flies over and attempts a Coup De Grace on Gundarag. Billy fires an acid arrow at Nuala, but he spell resistance stops it again. He follows it up with a Ray of frost, which misses completely. Galrond sacrifices spells to create a bolt of pure arcane energy, which slams into Nuala and knocks her back. William, Lanis, and Gundarag all receive the crowd’s disdain this round. Nuala again slashes Gundarag across his neck. He stops struggling and his eyes glaze over, as his blood begins to empty onto the arena floor. Galrond sees this and tries to blast Nuala with more magic missiles, but they fail to penetrate her Resistance. Nuala returns favor, blasting William with Missile, but his resistance also proves too strong for her wand. Billy attempts to trap Nuala in an Otiluke’s resilient sphere, but she nimbly side steps it while William, Lanis, and Gundarag again get coppered. Amastacia, having moved closer and cast True Strike, shoots her hand crossbow at Nuala, slamming a bolt into her thigh. Lanis breaks free from the stun and charges Nuala. Shaken by the blows, she moves away and holds out her fist. The party recognizes William’s stolen Ring of Spell Storing, and Nuala unleashes her third Mordenkainen’s Disjunction for the day. Lanis and William drift towards the ground, now in human form. Gundarag also begins to plummet slowly to the earth below. Nuala again get silvered, while Gundarag receives yet more copper. ------------- Current Standings (in initiative order): Round Number: 23 Amastacia: 47 Hit points remaining William: 22 Hit points remaining, with 1 pint of subdual and two negative levels Gundarag: -3 Hit points and bleeding to death. 2 Negative Levels. Also poisoned twice, with saves coming up in 6 and 7 rounds Lanis: 23 Hit points remaining, with 9 subdual Kargur: 121 Hit points remaining, one round left of digging out of the bubble of force. Cristoph: 17 hit points remaining, and still Held Nuala: 213 Hit Points remaining, with 42 Temporary hit points also Remaining. Two rounds of Haste left. 41 Charges remaining on her wand. Also plenty of spells, but she is feebleminded. Galrond: 59 hit points remaining, with 4 subdual and 4 negative levels. Teflon Billy: 78 Hit points remaining, and very few (if any) spells. The crowd: Tons of hit points remaining, and very entertained Sharif Parfa, 15th level cleric duplicate and loyal lackey of Nuala: All hit points remaining.
