Skin Deep

[Aldern Foxglove]

Leopold move round and smashes his weapon against the stone, but finds it too hard to damage. His spiritual weapon sends more stone chips flying.

Lionel steps forward moving towards a flank with Leopold and slings his shield taking his bastard sword in both hands and swinging it at the serpent statue. But the paladin to is unsuccessful at overcoming the hardness of the stone.

Skendra's magic missiles slam home, sending puffs of dust and chips flying. But despite the mounting damage the illusion upon the statue holds.

The serpent lunges for Ciperel its great stone bulk moving with surprising speed. But the oracle's defenses are sufficient to just avoid the statue his armor clanging loudly as it deflects the force of the blow.

OOC: Anaerion is up! Followed by Ciperel.

Anaerion takes a small step foward, making sure he can get his aim better. He then pulls two arrows out of his bag, and fires both at this nightmarish creature.

With Bless and PBS:

[Aldern Foxglove]

Anaerion's arrows hit home thumping into the stone and sending shards flying.

OOC: Ciperel is up! Followed by Leopold.

Ciperel der Prad'm, human oracle

Realizing his morningstar isn't likely to be effective, Ciperel lets his summoned force weapon attack as he does his best to get some distance between himself and the construct.

OOC: Withdraw action. Double move straight back to J18. I expect the snake has reach and thus he'll still draw an AoO, but 1 is better than 2.

[Aldern Foxglove]

The serpent fails to take advantage of Ciperel's withdrawl, but his spiritual weapon fails to hit home.

OOC: Leopold is up! Followed by Lionel.

 

[HolyMan]

The magical blade continues to slash slivers from the disguised rock as Leopold hacks to no avail.

"I'm not strong enough?" he wonders to himself. "By Torma I shall not be defeated." he thinks as he sees the serpent lash out at Ciperel and he quickly cast a spell while it is distracted.

{{ Bel'ithn drakka, Duiloth fana!}} he shouts the words to bring Torma's divine strength into his own body.

[sblock=Actions] Let spiritual weapon attack, and since I hope it only has one AoO Leopold will cast Bull's Strength. If not well uh-oh![/sblock]

As Leopold casts his spell the serpent statue lashes out taking advantage of his distraction, but it fails to strike the chanting cleric.

Trying to draw the constructs ire to himself Lionel swings two handed again hacking off a fist sized chunk of stone as his blade sends up sparks..

[sblock=HM]To clarify it failed to take advantage because Ciperel did not provoke - its large long to use the old 3.0 term and thus does not have reach. So you might wish to cast defensively or step back.[/sblock]

Skendra casts another magic missile spell, hoping the group can wear down the construct soon.

[sblock=spells cast]4/8 1st, 2/5 2nd[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Go ahead then and roll the attack if it misses the spell goes off, if not roll a concentration check for me 1d20+8. thanks.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Skendra's magic missiles send more stone chips and dust flying, and the battered serpent swings its bulk at Lionel. But the clumsy stone beast's foes continue to elude it.

OOC: Anaerion is up! Followed by Ciperel.
