[v.3.5] Realmsian Dragonstar: The Battle of Toril PbP Game [IC] (Game Cancelled)

[Knightfall]

Keth raised his arms to protect his face. He hisses through clenched teeth as the flames burn his skin. However, the pain is offset by his relief to see Soumral able to move again. "We cannot allow him to use our companions for any more evil! We must put them to rest, and then regroup!" he shouts. The elf charges his blade with shocking grasp and swings at the undead that was once Calarek.

The flames of the firestorm burn Kethrendil from head to toe. His clothes smoulder as he swings his courtblade. The blade slices through the air but the blazing bones somehow just manages to avoid the elven duskblade's strike.

"Little tiefling, where did you run to?" Thalamond laughs from deep within the solid fog. "I wish to thank you. While your allies cannot see me, I can still see them. Ha! Ha Ha! I see everything now! You cannot blind the stars of the Dragon Empire!"

The High Artificer's voice rises in pitch as he quickly cast two spells one after another, unnaturally fast.

OOC: Spellcraft check to hear the spells that the High Artificer is casting. -2 circumstance bonus.

 

[Knightfall]

The inside of the temple erupts in flames engulfing all the heroes and the blazing bones. Keth, who just was burned by the blazing bones eruption takes the full blast of the fire storm. Red fills his vision as he watches the flames engulf Dakashi, Soumral, and Idriane, as well.

The fire storm engulfs the street outside of the temple as well. Thrak watches as the flames engulf his mistress at the very edge of its range. He can't see whether or not the flames burnt Shaz or Rodan. The hobgoblin had been heading towards the temple. Thrak doesn't give him much hope for survival.

OOC: Damage is on the OOC thread.

The goliath immediately makes for the fallen tiefling, already fishing a vial of potion from a pouch on his belt. He's seen enough plans in his day to know when one's going bad. At this point getting her awake again and getting them both out of there was the only thing on his mind.

 

[Knightfall]

The flames roar all around Idriane and she screams in pain as she dies. Her skin blisters off and the hollow voice of the High Artificer laughs in manic glee.

Outside, Tocrhor balks at the entrance as Shaz and Rodan fall back. He hears the word subsumed and blood runs cold. "Run! Everyone run!" He screams. He turns to run but then the flames appear out of nowhere all around him. He tries to throw himself against the side of the temple, seeking any sort of shelter but the flames engulf him and burn through his skin all the way to his bones. He dies thinking, Another world, lost.

When the flames clear, he scoops her up. He sees the charred remains of the hobgoblin fused to the wall of the temple. He dumps the vial down her half-charred throat and picks her up and runs for it.

In the Temple

Dakashi immediately uses up a power point to stave off the worst of the blazing bones' fiery ability. Moments later, he is very glad he did so, as he hears Thalamond recite his spells and quickly recognizes the first as freedom of movement and second as a dangerous fire storm spell. The spell fills his vision and he tries his best to avoid the flames. Without his elan ability, he'd be dead, as the flames burn away much of his life force.

As the flames of the High Artificer's fire storm spell cease, he sees that he and Soumral are the only two in the temple still standing. She looks unhurt, having somehow managed to avoid the flames of the fire storm. Keth lies on the ground, burnt and unmoving. The female cleric of Gond is a pile of ashes.

Worse than that, the blazing bones look, stronger. The High Artificer hasn't left the solid fog, but Dakashi knows the magical fog won't be a hindrance to the cleric now.

Time to go, the elan thinks to himself.

OOC: For [MENTION=161]Buddha the DM[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6855111]tekknowkub[/MENTION].

 

[Buddha the DM]

Soumral keeps an eye on the solid fog, and makes her way as quickly as possible outside and out of line of sight from the doorway. She has the feeling that she'll need the room to move about should this go any more sideways than it already has.

 

[Knightfall]

Even though Rodan shelters himself of to the left side of the open doorway, he takes the full brunt of the High Artificer's fire storm spell. As his eyes darken, he thinks to himself, 'I should have flown away'.

OOC: Rodan is down. He is at 0 hit points.

Emiko kicks open the door. With the city's inhabitants fleeing, it was easy enough for her to hurry towards the House of Wonders unimpeded, and empty buildings made for good look-out positions. Yin Hun's reported the situation was heavily degrading, requiring her to abandon their makeshift safe house to support her boss in the field. She climbs the stairs skipping every other step, breaks into a room, and smashes the glass out of the window. She presses against the wall, and readies her plasma rifle. She takes aim at the temple's entrance, zooming in her sight through her scope.

"Six, I'm in position, over," she says in her personal communicator.
