Trayah, Lacerta Shaman (12/57 hp [+13 temp], 19 nonlethal damage, AC 21/12 touch)

OOC: Okay, had plenty of time to think about it now, though I didn't receive an answer to my question above so I'll go with...

*Trayah calls upon the spirit’s healing energy again, restoring himself after the tail slap from the King of Winter.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]Trayah casts cure critical wounds 4d8+19 (incl. +2 lvls from GI) converting summon monster iv.[/SBLOCK]

"Hope he's still vulnerable to at least a bit of this." says Obscurity after Lyssa says that he's gained resistance to fire. She'll back up a bit then use Obscurity's Distraction followed by a Scorching Ray hoping that she can get in the critical strike.
 

*The King of Winter resists the distraction effortlessly.*

(OOC: Scorching Ray has a very low chance to deal damage except on a crit--I don't think Obscurity has a non-fire, non-ice damage spell, does she? You still have a standard action because Obscurity would know the Distraction failed before choosing her standard. Channeled P-burst channeled for the full round action will still scorch him somewhat past the resistance because it is all one attack, if she has one left)
 


(OOC: Okay self heal for Trayah)

*Trayah channels positive energy to heal himself.*

(OOC: Trayah regains 37 HP)


(OOC: Wow, those were exceptionally nice rolls for you--20 on Caster Level check again and then 88 on 10d8 * 1.5. Of course, with a roll of 4, KoW saves)

*Obscurity channels a powerful Pyroburst that bursts past the King of Winter's defenses despite his drastic wingover to avoid the brunt of the blast. Meanwhile, Lyssa once again glows with warmth and energy, this time ghostly images of blossoms appearing in her hair for an instant, as she fires a concentrated beam of powerful electricity at the mighty Legendary Spirit. Between the fire and lightning, the dragon seems mightily wounded, but the King of Winter snarls and grins before turning back.*

(OOC: 253 + 111 = 364)

"Protected from cold, are thee little one? Not this cold!" with a long inhalation, he lets forth an incredibly powerful blast of piercing cold, cold that numbs straight through the bones into the very soul. Lyssa screams in agony as the attack causes her actual physical harm, completely penetrating through her buffer of temporary health and wreathing her spirit in ice. Trayah gasps and closes his eyes, falling to the ground in deep hibernation as the cold sets in. Obscurity is least lucky of all. She almost--almost leaps completely out of the way of the attack, but she is caught in mid-tumble and chilled to the bone by the blast. Already gravely wounded by previous attacks and unable to withstand this much netherworldly cold since Trayah healed himself instead of helping her, Obscurity tries to scream as the cold takes her, to make one last brave gesture of defiance or launch a final Pyroblast to kill the near-dead aspect of the Lord of Winter, but as the life's breath escapes her, she expires not with a bang, but a whimper, her lifeless body looking peaceful in death as it lies on the ground near Trayah, despite the unnatural pale of her cheeks.*

(OOC: Lyssa takes 51 Damage and takes temporary stat damage--3 points of Strength, 6 points of Dex, 2 points of Int, 6 points of Cha

Obscurity takes 46 Damage and takes temporary stat damage--1 point of Strength, 1 point of Dex, 4 points of Int, 1 point of Cha. Also, she dies.

Trayah takes 48 Damage and takes temporary stat damage--2 points of Strength, 2 points of Dex, 3 points of Int, 6 point of Cha. Also, he falls unconscious. This will make the next round's worth of cold nonlethal damage lethal.)

"Trayah? Young one?"

*What is that sound--that voice? Is it Amanal?*

"Trayah, wake up. you have to wake up! Your friends need you--Tr..."

*Trayah's eyes drift open.*

"Trayah, you're awake! Thank Conacia!" Whinoah laughs in a slightly discomfited display of joy, "Lyssa, look--he's okay!"

*Lyssa glances over, seemingly engaged in looking at Arylyra in her somewhat-smaller block of ice. The temperature in the room has risen to a safer level, though still uncomfortably cold for Trayah. The ice constituting the platform and stairs seems to be growing wet as it begins to melt. He also sees Rowanne's unmoving form lying beside him.*

"Welcome back to the world of the living, my friend. It is lucky for us all that the spirit's aspect overestimated himself--it takes more than a little ice to finish me off," though she tries to project an aura of confidence, she is clearly shaken and perhaps a tiny bit meek and frightened with so much of a blow to her soul from the blast, "Rowanne, though..."

*What is she looking at? Arylyra inside the icy prison--the spirit's glow seems dimmer even than when they first encountered her asleep, and her left hand, formed of spirit energy much as the rest of Arylyra, is gone.*
 

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

*Trayah shivers and groans as he looks at Rowanne.*

“Indeed, lucky for us all... well, all except poor Rowanne. I didn’t have the power left to heal everyone, and with the need for someone to... perhaps I can call her spirit back with Arylyra’s help.”

*He then looks towards Arylyra.*

“What happened to Arylyra? She looks weaker and one of her hands is missing...”
 


Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

*Standing, Trayah moves back to the ice holding Arylyra, before turning to face his companions.*

“Perhaps. As for the ice, well it will likely melt whether we’re here or not, though I don’t think we’re in any immediate danger if that’s what you’re asking. Regardless, we need to release Arylyra from her icy prison, before we can leave. So if you two could get Rowanne ready for our return journey, I’ll try freeing the lady we came for.”

*With that, Trayah turns back to the ice and places his hand on it, before releasing a searing light spell to try and bore a hole to Arylyra, in an attempt to give her an avenue of escape.*
