Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 120581" data-attributes="member: 114">While the heroes fight the beetles, the huge Bonetangle steps towards the combatants and grabs both M’ir and K’tan, grabbing them and constricting them within its conglomeration of bones. Trajan slays one of the beetles and turns his attention to the other. Lysander darts towards the ancient troglodyte who casts fear at him, but the Jazumai is immune to the dark threats which whisper at his psyche, and plunges headlong into combat with the elderly priest.K’tan keeps his concentration and starts using concussion to blow bones of the undead creature holding him. M’ir keeps his concentration and starts raising the body temperature of the troglodyte. Syl gets her shortbow out and starts shooting at the beetle which is attacking Azrin, while Azrin attempts once more to call upon Asura’s power to turn undead – and once more fails to get anywhere.The troglodyte slaps Lysander with a cause critical wounds and tries to back off while Lysander lays into it with his scimitar. Azrin runs to join in that combat as the beetle  turns to attack the annoyance that has been stinging it in the rear, galloping over to attack Syl.The Bonetangle has grabbed Trajan as well, and is now constricting all three – fortunately it doesn’t seem to have too good a grip on M’ir, as it always gets low damage on him. K’tan continues to manifest concussion, doing it some serious damage before he starts running low on power – at which point he draws the attributes of the tortoise to himself (gaining some much needed hit points from the Con boost). Darra joins in the combat, casting defensively he slides a layer of grease under the bonetangle. Trajan manages to wriggle free and is joined by Lysander, who has slain the old and feeble troglodyte priest. Chopping away together, and supported by magic missile fire from Darra, the Bonetangle starts to collapse, skid on the grease, and finally shatters into a conglomeration of bare bones.Phew.(we had a couple of scale 20ft tall minis that I put on the table for the stone dragon and the bonetangle, and it made the situation look pretty desperate! It gave the players a much better idea of the scale of the threat they faced!)They check out the body of the ancient troglodyte, and find nothing on him but some kind of dragon tooth holy symbol. A long theological discussion ensues between M’ir and Azrin – M’ir wants to know where it got its clerical powers from if there is only one god, Asura. Azrin explains that it must have worshipped some hitherto unsuspected draconic aspect of Asura, the many-facetted one. The conversation gets quite heated, and only really dies down when Syl decides to climb up the stone dragon to take a closer look at the lovely sparkly and glowing sapphire eyes which it has…</blockquote>
