The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Majin]

OoC: Sorry for the long wait guys, but still not luck with getting Dhes back on the boards. Something seems to be kicking him out each time he tries to load the page. We've tried everything and can't seem to figure it out. Perhaps it has something to do with the indexing of the site that crashed last week? Until that goes through (unless it already has) we'll have to wait and see. Maybe that will fix his problems.

Drogo casts his spell on Rex and orders him to attack the fiend Malifustal. Rex leaps at her, but is easily batted away by the abomination. Calenthang and Sielwoodan are met with similar luck, as their sword swings and arrow shots are deflected by the creature. Watching the fight before him, Broddy mutters the incantation to his spell, creating illusionary images around himself. Sarlis' arrow shot misses its mark by a hair, quite literally, the projectile tangling in Malifustal's oily mane as she moves her head to dodge.

Teleri charges at Malifustal, attempting to push her back, through the portal. (Bull Rush attempt) The demonspawn bares rotted, disgusting teeth, biting at Teleri's neck (AoO) as they begin to tangle, ripping into her flesh. (13 damage) A shudder wracks Teleri's body at the bite, but she manages to push the oppressive feeling away. Malifustal screeches as she is pushed back into the portal. For a moment it appears she is gone, but a clawed hand re-emerges from the portal, and then the rest of her as she steps out. (Succeed Will save against being forced through.)

Malifustal cackles with evil glee at averting such an easy defeat. "You will pay for that one, bitch," she sounds, taunting Teleri's overuse of the word. At that, she side steps back away from the portal and jabs her hand forward towards Teleri, releasing four glowing balls of magical energy, magic missles, Broddy realizes, much larger than normal. The balls impact squarely in Teleri's chest, knocking her out. (20 damage) Malifustal grins wickedly at the outcome and looks to the rest of the party. "Next?"

Ayden casts his spell on the arrows as Teleri goes down, while Dunstand looks on, wide-eyed in surprise. He regains his composure quickly though, and throws a dagger at the demon, which strikes it in the throat, which only results in a laugh, as Malifustal pulls it out and tosses it aside, seemingly undamaged.

Well that was really unsuccessfull... If you can, give her a good one for me. Teleri tells StormArmour disjointedly before the pain overwhelms her and she drops into unconsciousness.

ooc:
Did you guys try going through another site to get to here? Sometimes that helps.

 

[Velmont]

"Teleri's idea is right... The deamon doesn't want to cross the portal. Calenthang, let's join effort and push her through the portal."

If Calenthang follow that idea, Sielwoodan will drop his bow, draw his sword and bullrush the demon-girl. If she is in the portal, Sielwoodan will delay until she show up to bullrush. If Calenthang doesn't want to follow, he will continue shooting.

 

[DarkMaster]

"It got Teleri, let's show the creature that it won't resist the unslaught of our revenge, let's unite and destroy once and for all this creature of evil" Says Sarlis with a strong and assured voice (OOC Inspire allies +2 moral bonus on save, attack roll, ability check, skill checks and weapon damage roll last 2 rounds)

Sarlis will pick up one of his newly enchanted arrow and fires it at the creature, while keeping the group motivated by his word.

OOC +7 Ranged, MW Composite long bow str+2, 1d8+3(+2str+1spell), 20/x3

 

[Verbatim]

As Ayden finished the spell, he opened his eyes and saw Teleri's fallen body on the ground in front of him, with four small smoke trails rising from her body. Pulling his warhammer free, Ayden heard the others speaking, but for once, he had no desire to speak.

~She has made a mockery out of me, and now one of our own has fallen. This must stop.~

Closing in on the demonic female, Ayden waited until an opening presented itself and struck.

 

[kirinke]

Had Teleri been conscious, she would have dearly loved to pop the demon a good one with the sharp edge of her sword, unfortunantly she's unconscious and enjoying a dream of laying amidst the flowers and watching the pretty blue-birds circle around her head.

 

[hippocrachus]

OOC: Sorry for my delay, all. My brother-in-law had some XP troubles while I was visiting and celebrating my Break of Spring.
Verbatim - I think Hippocrates was a physician... Hippocrachus, however, was a hero of Ares

Having come across plenty of demons and evil outsiders in the Cormanthor forest, Calenthang assumes his inability to injure the creature might be due to his lack of magical capabilities.
Besides, that blade is being wasted on the worthless fallen priestess, he thinks to himself bitterly. Typical.
He reaches out with his thoughts to find the intelligent blade's attention. Dwarf Blade! Lend me your aide for this battle and I will do Your Majesty justice!
He continues to circle around Malifustal, attempting to attack, and prepares to grab-up the sword if it will have him.
He ignores Sielwoodan's plans. The creature's Material avatar should suffer for deceiving them.

OOC: Sorry, Kirinke. If the only way Calenthang can do any real harm is by using Teleri's sword, he's gonna go for it. The added spite is just for flavor. It probably doesn't want anything to do with him anyway.

 

[kirinke]

Ooc
Probably right and the sword might agree with him, but StormArmor probably isn't going to let you forget insulting Teleri. I mean, it would be along the same lines as you insulting a person's personal choice in clothing and or companions.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo Hornblower

Drogo winces at Teleri's fall, and Dunstand's ineffectual dagger. He feared this outsider would be resistant to mere steel. As such, his weapons are probably useless. He hopes his spell will allow Rex's teeth to be more effective.

Drogo dashes forward, knowing another way to help. Using the bodies of his larger companions for cover, he attempts to grab Telleri by the feet, or whatever part of her is furthest from the demon, and pull her away a few paces. He then kneels and casts CLW on her. (1d8+4)

 

[Mimic]

"Come on think, think. You are supposed to be so smart. How do we beat this thing? I don't know enough about the planes and outsiders, I am going to have to change that if we survive this." Broddy thinks to himself as he watches the others engage the monster.

Knowledge (arch & eng) +6
Knowledge (religion) +7
Knowledge (the planes) +6

Words come from him as his hands twist in the symbols need to bring forth the magic desired result as a bright ray of magic leaps out and attempts to strike the creature.

ooc: Scorching ray

Ranged touch +6 (+1 Weapon Focus(Ray))
