The Four Lands - The Great North Part 2

[Canaan]

Jaroth

"A powerful enchantment was laid upon them, a contingent magic, designed to be triggered by exposure to Balance. I don't believe it was intended to be triggered now. In any event, the magic is gone. The damage is done."

ooc: J.A. I wasn't aware that we did the spell to locate the Fortress of Balance yet. If not, let me know. Because I have a cool idea to try to help Finnian and Bertrand, if not.

Vorian Tolgar

Vorian greets his teeth in frustration and then cleches them tightly shut preparing for the pain he knows is coming.

Fully extending his arm forward in stabbing motion with Orderbringer he tries to reach Finnian to touch him only with the tip of the blade, not coming close enough to hurt him, but hopefuly managing to avoid his spell too.

Orderbringer pulses with blue light as his tip touches closest part of Finnian, his extended sword arm with which he stopped Vorian's grapple. The glow quickly spreads all over Finnian and dissapears with equal speed, taking away several enchantments from him.

Attack against Finnian (1d20+17=29)
[sblock=For JA]
If you think there should be damage done to Finnian apply -4 to hit and do non-lethal damage 1d8+7 extra 2d6 if Finnian is Chaotic.

If whatever spell is causing this behaviour of Finnian can be dispeled, apply one random roll for it or simply pick one.

Vorian Tolgar

OOC: here are two round worht of actions, cast and attack

"I didn't mean to do this to you, but you leave me little choice." Vorian says to Finnian as he steps back and concentrates.

Suddenly his form shifts and blurs and his 7' frame shots up by another 3 to 4 feet up.

He raises enlarged Orderbringer and slaps Finnian in an attempt to bring him down.

OOC: Enlarge: AC drops to 18, STR goes up to 18; reach increases to 10'; damage increases to 2d6+8 +2d6 if chaotic

Attack rolls (non-lethal -4 included) (1d20+15=33, 1d20+10=24, 1d20+5=15)
Critical Threat Confirm (1d20+15=18)

Non-Lethal Damage to Finnian (2d6+8=14, 2d6+8=13, 2d6+8=10(miss), 2d6+8=13(critical))

OOC:Finnian has AC 18 and is hit for 14, 13 and 13 damage for total of 40 hp;

Jaroth's Gambit

Enough, Vorian! You doing permanent damage to his mind or worse! Get him in a hold and pin him down! We will attempt to purge them of their inner demons.

Turning to the others, Jaroth says, I will need all of your help. Per usual, it will be dangerous. Please, sit down and hold hands. Focus on becoming one with Finnian and Bertrand, making a mental connection with them. Be ready to fight whatever it is they are fighting, but do not lose sight of the fact that we will be within Finnian's and Bertrand's minds. Do not lose yourself in there, or you could end up like them, not able to tell fantasy from reality.

Jaroth sits down on the ground, lotus style, and stares at Finnian first, then Bertrand. He focuses his druidic magic into creating a bond between he and Finnian and then bringing Bertrand into that bond, creating a three-way conduit. When the connection happens, he broadens the connection to include Anniston, Vadric and DeSion, bringing all of us into Finnian and Bertrand's nightmare to help them vanquish their demons and wake from their nightmare.

ooc: the foregoing action assumes that this is a different day from the day on which we did the ritual to find the fortress of balance. Also, I need to know how many limited wishes that ritual took so I can accurately account for xp loss. Finally, if anyone chooses not to do this, Jaroth will continue without them. I just wanted to give everyone a chance to be involved. Thanks.

Vorian Tolgar

"Then get his d**ned spell down! I cannot hold him. And I'm just subduing him, I won't cut him."

After listening to the rest of the directions

"Very well, I'll keep you safe. If you need another mind in there, speak now and I'll join you. Arrwuh and Chaucer will keep guard."

Finnian Douglas AC 18 77/117 SpD remaining 3, 5, 4, 3, 2

Finnian continues his battle against the fiends stepping in to stab at the first one.

[sblock=OOC]
Attacking first fiend (Anniston) (1d20+15=27, 1d20+10=18, 1d20+5=8)
All misses.
Wounding Whispers 6 rnds left
Vorian's two strikes on Finnian. (1d6+11=16, 1d6+11=15)
Enlarge was interesting idea, but it is weapons with reach that prevent damage, not creature reach. Sorry. Not meaning to do this much damage to the party.
[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

It WAS weapon reach. Orderbringer is now Large weapon and has reach. Finnian is hit with a weapon and eventualy that damage applies to the weapon not Vorian at least that was the idea

Vorian's actions depend on the way wounding whispers work. If they are hitting every round of contact then he casts protection from energy (sonic) if they hit only when Finnian receives damage then continue straight to:

Vorian disarms (from reach) Finnian and then tackles him (unarmed Finnian won't stop grapple because there is no weapon for AoO). No damage, only pin.

Vorian otherwise interposes himself between Finnian and Anniston and any other party member moving to assist Jaroth, with his size they should have some cover.

Vorian is large and gets +4 to disarm, with additional +4 if Finnian's weapon is light

OOC: Guys, can we slow down and let JA catch up. With all the multiple posts from everyone, I really can't even tell what round we are at anymore.

JA, can we get a round update so we know where we are at currently? And Scotley, I believe we still need Bertrand to make a Fort Save vrs DC27 or be knocked unconscious.

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

Bertrand's eyes roll back in his head as the blow falls. One desperate word escapes his lips as consciousness fades, "Tessa..."

OOC: Fort Save (1d20+9=14)
