The Crux of the Matter

[Velmont]

Hogarth, symbol in hand, show it and whisper a prayer to Gundar. A faint light appear around teh symbol, but the temporal distortion seems to affect Hogarth's ability to summon Gundar's help.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Turn undead attempt. Turn up to 3HD creatures, for a total of 10HD. Here the roll. Hogarth is Ashnaring [/SBLOCK]

 

[Knight Otu]

Ashnar shoots another scorching ray from the wand, which seems to wind around to not hit any possible targets despite Ashnar holding completely still. Puzzled and annoyed, he takes a quick but throughout look at the stubborn item.

(Scorching ray again (1d20+2=4, 4d6=19)
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. )

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]I think you'll need to stick to magic missiles.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Erekose13]

Tenebrynn will cast his second magic missile at the same opponent.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*After Hogarth and Ashnar do nothing useful, the third creature moves to flank the annoyingly hard-to-hit Rinaldo, attacking once with great speed but missing badly.*

(OOC: Vanitri now)

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Can we have a map, even crude, just to see how Rinaldo is backeted, how someone else could take advantage of it... it is not liek we are outside in a treeless valley... thanks.

[Bront]

Um, what's a W?

If he can flank one, Vanitri will, draw both weapons, and attack with his rapier.

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]W is a monster, so yeap, you can bracket on, teh one south of Rinaldo. But aren't it suppose to be only 3 of them?[/SBLOCK]

Rinaldo continue to evade hits while attacking the one Vanitri is bracketing, but his aim his poor on that strike. He then moves 5 feet toward the group and away fron the monsters.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Attack: 7, even with teh bracket... [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: In post 1050, one of them opened up a rift that led to another of them coming through, so there's four now)

*Vanitri strikes easily thanks to the flank, dealing a fair blow to the creature.*

(OOC: 7 Damage for Vanitri--of course each hit so far has been against a different enemy)

*The undead that came through the vortex advances on Ashnar but misses horribly. Then Rinaldo attacks defensively, causing his sword strike to go quite wide. The only enemy not yet engaged with an opponent heads over to attack Vanitri, but its attack is as clumsy as most of Ashnar's wand firings (OOC: Rolled a 2) and doesn't even come close.*

*Tenebrynn fires more Magic Missiles at his mark, but this time, the attack is far less impressive.*

(OOC: 9 Damage, total 24)

*Rinaldo's primary target scores a lucky blow that is almost a critical strike, but Rinaldo's defensive stance saves him from what would have been a life-threatening attack. Still, it hurts horribly, and this time the distortions eat away at him from the inside out and he can't stop them.*

(OOC: Ouch, a 20 for the enemy. Rinaldo takes 9 Damage and 2 Con Drain

Hogarth/Ashnar now)
