Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Atesh is coming back.

You sit around the warming fire, eating, telling tales and sharing memories of past times. It's seems there is no mood for singing, tension hangs in the air and you can slice it with a knife.
After finishing the meal, while you prepare for sleeping, a loud noise echoes from Gorash, he dropped the iron pot and stands motionless, eyes wide open in terror, he stares at the ledge, you turn your faces to see a frightening sight.
You see Atesh as a spectral figure robed in darkness, he has no visible features except for his red robes and the glowing red pinpoints of his eyes.
Join me to the undeath and serve his highness or face his punishment.
He says with sinister hollow voice.

[Boddynock]

Eliyyad is appalled to see Atesh so transformed but does not hesitate. Fingers moving in patterned flurries, he chants an arcane formula under his breath, then, with a stabbing motion, launches a fiery beam of light at the abomination which stands before them.

Garon is shocked to see what Atesh has done but he quickly kicks back into a more defensive mindset for the evening.
"Yes, certainly. Double watches are in order tonight. We can hope that he cannot turn into something more foul this night but we cannot let our guard down." Garon turns to put his things in order for the night "If he does change it may be that he comes after us, perhaps following us. We'll need to be on our guard for some time now in these mountains."

Garons words seem to fall off as the pots drop and the spectre of Atesh appears before him.

"By the Gods...Atesh you are the one punished for your evil deeds."

Garon leaps to his feet, grabs his shield and sword and rushes to get between Atesh and the party, striking at him with his sword.

OCC:
[sblock]

Maor grabs his sword, utters a brief prayer, and calmly approaches the battle.

OOC: Init 19. Casts bull's strength on himself, and approaches to within 20' to be able to strike next round.
If an untrained Knowledge (religion) check of 20 tells him this type of undead can possess he casts protection from evil instead, if not but it has DR x/good he casts align weapon; but I don't expect either.

Allyra

Quite startled from the sight, Allyra is slow to react. When she gets her senses back together, the wizardess immediately moves back a step and hurls a conjured glob of acid against the undead Atesh, seeing that her companions did not waste a second to attack the creature he has become.


OOC: Initiative 3; Casting Lesser Orb of Acid (Ranged Touch Attack 21, Miss Chance results in a miss (if incorporeal), Damage 23 (if not).

Round 1 - Atesh returns!

An Unnatural Aura engulf Atesh's vaguely form, a wave of cold air flows from his evil sinister figure and flush you like a river. This human gave himself with all his heart to the Reaper … if you only saved his soul earlier, the poor wizard could be rescued from this terrible fate. Quite intimidated, Keldar step forward but hesitate. he holds his chain and ready himself.
Garon leaps to his feet, grabs his shield and sword and rushes to get between Atesh and the party, striking at him with his sword.
Maor grabs his sword, utters a brief prayer, and calmly approaches the battle.
It is time to be punished.
Moans the spectral figure and sends a long vaguely arm and steals the life force of Garon, the flesh around your arm rots.
Eliyyad is appalled to see Atesh so transformed but does not hesitate. Fingers moving in patterned flurries, he chant an arcane formula under his breath, then, with a stabbing motion, launches a fiery beam of light at the abomination which stands before them.
Praying to his god, Turo asks the precious gem to bless his friends in the battle against the darkness.
Quite startled from the sight, Allyra is slow to react. When she gets her senses back together, the wizardess immediately moves back a step and hurls a conjured glob of acid against the undead Atesh, the globe passes through Atesh, failing to burst the thin line between the material plane and the plane of existence of the creature.

Allyra

Sending another acid sphere on its way against the unnatural creature, Allyra silently curses her lack of concentration, as she misses widely.

Maor steps in to melee. "You have chosen badly, Atesh" he says in cold fury as he attempts to strike it, but fails to connect.
