[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5756978, member: 82679"] Rufus' sword flashes with blinding speed and cleaves off two fingers from the monster's oversized hands. it grunts disapprovingly and regards the fallen appendages with a sheepish, milky-white stare. The cleric of Lathander releases a blast of what appears to be intense sunlight from his open palm as he declares the spell in an eloquent form of high-tongue. The bolt of light melts half of the creature's head off like butter, leaving a deformed left half of its face with a stupefied look (if it is possible for half a face to express such an emotion) Next is Zinerath who somehow manages to appear instantly behind the large beast and follows trough after Rufus with viscous attacks. The demonic child seems possessed with unstoppable battle lust, and his thin arms reveal unnatural strength that manages to sink the scythe deep inside the creature's back and almost tears trough it's gut. Seeing his two hits connect, Zinnerath gets eager and carelessly throws the third attack at a massive brass shoulder plate of archaic design, which surprisingly manges to deflect his sharp steel weapon. Without pause, the Elven Inantatrix contuses casting her spells with a cold, methodical precision. The whirlwind spell hits the monster once again, cleaving off more skin and flesh, and the second knife she sends at it firmly lodges itself in the creature's chest, causing black blood and pus to ooze out. Her new spell covers one side of the creature wtih glittering golden coloured particles, and due to it's size she manages to cast it without harming either Rufus, Thok or Zinerath, though it barely reaches their positions. The spell completely covers the one good eye the creature has, thus blinding it completely. It wails mindlessly at Rufus, attempting to bite and claw at him regardless of being nearly destroyed and unable to see. It manages to bite off a bit of flesh even with half it's jaw missing, and it's left arm leaves a deep claw mark against the man's chest. However then is when Thok steps in and with one terrifying blow he cleaves off the creature's leg from under it, toppling it to the ground as if it were a piece of timber. The fell energies animating it leave the undead husk and it remains a large mound of decayed flesh and unusable pieces of armour. The exotic sorceress sits quietly and observes the whole battle, but just as everyone is about to relax, the two female spellcasters feel the cold touch of death brazing against their delicate necks. From the ground behind them, silently and unannounced, two shadowy beings about six feet tall emerge and strike swiftly, and then abruptly they sink back into the ground. One targets the elven Wizard, the other targets the human sorceress. It appears the creatures have used the time of the fight to move underground and target the spellcasters! [sblock]How does Zinerath move as a swift action? Rufus takes 26 damage. Also, for some reason I messed up the die rolls for the incorporeal things completely and I couldn't cancel them. There's only two ghostly enemies. So just use attack #1 and #2, ignore the rest. These are incorporeal touch attacks. Both miss I believe. They end their turns underground. Lorquelle's enemy hits for 9, Mei-Yuing's hits for 11. If they do connect, I'll roll the damage (still need a statblock from Shayuri) You may roll Knowledge: Religion to see if your PCs know what these things are.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
