Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Ghostly Visitor

The creature shimmers and drifts forward a little, it lifts its arms high and wide- a sudden burst of greyish mist spreads from the creatures body- engulfing all close by...

The moment before the burst Velani senses a stiffening of her limbs, a slowing of her mind- the creature seems to exude some numbing power- leaving her defences lowered while close to the terror.

Velani is left scrabbling at her head and is flung backwards hard in to wall, the Ooze explodes in a southerly direction leaving a green goo slicked across the stone floor.

At this point a second Ghostly Visitor appears on the screen, the screen swirls and it is sucked through... the creature doesn't hesitate, it floats in to action.

Ghostly Visitor #2

The second creature continues its silent move, drifting towards the largest concentration of people, it hovers a little and then, as per its comrade, sends out a burst of greyish mist, again the numbing effect is felt by those adjacent to it.

GM: -2 on all defences for those adjacent to the Ghostly Visitors.

The mist washes over the Ooze and Freggo, leaving the pair unharmed... Ah-shahran meanwhile is flung back, his movement arrested by a firm hand from Freggo. Velani is left staggering backwards clutching at his skull- alas for Spizz the effect is more permanent.

The young Goblin staggers in to the centre of the chamber, seemingly experiencing a moment of clarity.

"I get it... we just need to be nice to each other!"

Spizz grins and spreads his arms out wide, nearly as wide on the smile upon his face.

<BOOF>

Then his head explodes like a ripe watermelon...

On the screen behind you several small cloaked creatures step out of the floating portal, one- two- three- four of them, they are toting a long length of chain which stretches back in to the shimmering portal.

The creatures are not Halflings, one of them clutches a wickedly curved black dagger in its hand- you can see their faces, twisted Gnomes or Goblins spring to mind- they're horrible with long hooked noses and massively protruding googly eyes- hunched and mishapen, wizened...

Three of the creatures lurch and pull at the chain, the fourth looks about- certainly not aware of you watching them at work.

Velani

"What in the hells?!? Viator, I thought you were turning it off?!"

Moving toward her charges, Velani skirts around the first apparition, then charges head-on into the second. "What do your stories tell you now, Freggo?" she laughes as she draws on inner strength to swing yet again at the thing.

"Dol Arrah's light shall fell all evil where they stand! Or, er, um...float, as it were. Even."

OOC: Move: F4, F5, F6 Minor(?): Religion check - what are the floaty things making HER head hurt so much? Standard: charge to F10, MBA (whoops! disregard the d20 rolled on the bonus dmg! LOL) AP: Vengeful Strike If charge MBA missed, will use Heroic Effort (+4 hit)...hoping the Veng Strike was already enough) Also, if anyone in a close burst 3 of Velani (in F10) is hit by an attack from the ghosty things that brings them to 1/4 hp or less, she'll kick in Righteous Shield. Lastly a reminder - her Vengeful Strike dmg and her Aura dmg are both radiant, assuming these are some sort of undead and hopefully vulnerable...

 

[Goken100]

OOC: I hate to force a redo, but I did say Freggo was going 2 more steps past the door. The precedent for opening doors mid-move was set by a previous villain as I recall. Btw, those ghosts are awesome and so is this battle.

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

Kyalia takes a few steps back down the corridor, while taking aim on the first apparition. Once more, the elf fires a pair of arrows against her target.

GM: Got it but I didn't get it- if you had put- "Move 2 more steps (or better still squares) beyond the door" I would have understood it, you actually put- Move to C:13 plus 2 steps, opening the door Which in the order of the sentence moves you to the door, then- not sure, then opens the door... I know now what you want to do but only because you've just made it clear... So okay re-do forced and done, but if the confusion is word related in future, as above, then from here on in my interpretation stays- unless I'm just being plain dumb- which is the likeliest cause. Alas however it makes no differance the Ooze uses Flowing Form to Shift to C12- then Charges you, resulting in Crit etc. as per previous. So you're as you were but now on your own outside the chamber with the damaged Ooze. Sorry for not getting it.

Velani

"What in the hells?!? Viator, I thought you were turning it off?!"

Moving toward her charges, Velani skirts around the first apparition, then charges head-on into the second. "What do your stories tell you now, Freggo?" she laughes as she draws on inner strength to swing yet again at the thing.

"Dol Arrah's light shall fell all evil where they stand! Or, er, um...float, as it were. Even."

OOC: Move: F4, F5, F6 Minor(?): Religion check - what are the floaty things making HER head hurt so much? Standard: charge to F10, MBA (whoops! disregard the d20 rolled on the bonus dmg! LOL) AP: Vengeful Strike If charge MBA missed, will use Heroic Effort (+4 hit)...hoping the Veng Strike was already enough) Also, if anyone in a close burst 3 of Velani (in F10) is hit by an attack from the ghosty things that brings them to 1/4 hp or less, she'll kick in Righteous Shield. Lastly a reminder - her Vengeful Strike dmg and her Aura dmg are both radiant, assuming these are some sort of undead and hopefully vulnerable...

GM: NB Vengeful Strike- remember +5 on damage with your new sword...

Hmmm... Velani ponders, but to no conclusion- certainly the creatures are undead, but the variety, and... she's just not sure.

Regardless Velani barrels across the chamber in to one of the spectral visitors- alas her screaming, hollering, banshee charge is met by a placid look and not an iota's register of anything other than the mundane- the spirit is clearly not impressed. Actually neither is Velani, her longsword passes through the creature with little affect, she's certain she caused it some harm... but very little.

Velani instantly redoubles her efforts, her next attack makes use of her radiant power- again she connects, although with no great effect initially- and then the radiance hits- the creature sags a little, although its eyes burn brighter- it has a new target... Velani.

Kyalia shuffles a little further away, light on her toes, and then marks her quarry... two arrows fly, and hit- both leave smoking holes in the ghostly creature's chest area. The holes are no bigger then gold coins, the creature looks south at the Elf but doesn't seem that concerned.

			On the screen the strange creatures continue to heave at the chain...

OOC: Good point, I'll try to use clearer language. And I agree that being in the hall is inconvenient, was just trying to be fair. I do question if the ooze still would have attacked Freggo and that the second ghost would have targetted the second group in the same way... but changing either would actually be a bad thing for us so nm!

GM: I however am certain that Freggo is in the way of where the ooze wants to get- it was always going down the corridor and you were in the way- sorry...

GM: As to the second attack with the Ghostly Creature, partially the path of least resistance but also the fact that I still managed to attack and damage Ah-shahran, Viator and kill Spizz- so that's a win for me still... happy to still do that.
