The Crux of the Matter

Knight Otu said:
(I don't suppose Ashna can get a ballpark on the average Reflex save of a lesser wraith? :p
Oh well, the percentages don't look exactly thrilling, but I guess we have to in the interest of progress.)
(OOC: Ironically, Sin failed and the Lesser Wraith got a Natural 20 ;))

"Well well. That was supposed to block me out? You realise I could have just Dimension Doored across it, right? I have nothing against you, honestly, but since you're only alive because I fulfilled my end of Rinaldo's broken bargain, I'm not going to feel bad about this. Gluttony, you go first."

*Gluttony concentrates and begins to siphon the magical energy away from Ashna and into herself, stripping away the Sonic Protection from Energy and the Spell Immunity, but not the other two Protections from Energy.*

"Splendid. Now then, if it's ice you want to play with..."

*Sin incants the spell for Scorching Ray, and flames wreath her hands, but at the last instant, she incants a primal word of magical power that Ashna cannot even begin to comprehend, and the spell transforms to ice.*

"Mastery of Elements, dear. No hard feelings."

*Three ice rays slam into Ashna, but she remains standing.*

(OOC: 40 Damage)

"Impressive. Your ordeal with the Crux has made you stronger. Eve, she's not protected from Magic Missiles anymore--hopefully one barrage will do it."

"At once," Eve replies, as she sends a barrage of Magic Missiles Ashna's way.

*Ashna slumps and collapses to the ground, though she is not dead yet.*

(OOC: 16 Damage, now at -6)

*There's a message to those upstairs, though not from Sin.*

"The Mistress says your friend is still alive, though bleeding to death. You may want to send someone to staunch the wound--we can't go up there and do it ourselves."

(OOC: We entered combat time earlier, but those three beat Ashna and readied actions, indeed. We had a readied action to Dispel Magic as Ashna cast the wall (target was selected after seeing if it was going to fail on its own or not), then a Readied action to Scorching Ray after the Dispel Magic (target again selected after seeing if the target had to be the wall of ice or not).

Actually, I realise that the Magic Missiles were Delayed and not Readied, as Sin expected to drop Ashna. Go ahead and take your move to safety :o)
 



(OOC: You're lucky--Ashna did relatively well in initative and beat most of the enemies who can attack her up there. The Lesser Wraiths, sadly for Sin, don't have spellcasting ability.

What next?)
 

OOC: Don't forget that Ashna have a spell Immunity warding him against magic missile (except if a dispel magic spell have dispelled it).
 


(Maybe we can convince Gluttony that Sin is quite the meal, somehow? Or maybe telekinetically push Sin into the safe zone? Or maybe destroy the Crux, after all. What wraiths do we have, actually?
Gluttony, Wrath, Pride, Eve, Greed, perhaps Sloth came around after all? Yeah, I don't think we're going to fight a half-dozen (plus) mages at once with pure force.)
