X5: To the Temple of Death - IC
- Thread starter kinem
- Start date
With the party exploring the strange room, the door to the west suddenly opens.
A blue-robed young man stands behind the door. Taking in the scene, he casts a spell. Jex feels a strange sensation, but resists the effect. The young man steps back, allowing those with him to enter.
A man in full plate armor, and with a bow and arrows strapped to his back, strides into the room and swings at Aram with his bastard sword. This man also carries a large steel shield, and a dusty rose prism stone orbits around his helmet. His strike is skillfully aimed and draws blood from the desert warrior. (ooc: Aram hp 60/82)
Next inside is a brown-robed man. Strangely, this man is unarmed; but instead of casting a spell, he tries to strike Aram's face with his open palm. The blow misses.

Jex shakes off whatever magical effect was directed at him and casts one of his own. His hand is covered in black energy and he throws a bolt of it at the armored warrior. And with his other hand, he points Eissun at the blue-robed man. The shadow elemental floats its way closer to the mage and swipes at him with an ephemeral hand.
[sblock=OOC]
Reach Umbral Touch, shoot the armored one at +7 Ranged Touch for 5d6 damage and DC 20 Fort save or be Slowed. Eissun moves around the back of the blue-robed man (probably in the doorway/door) and attacks, +8 Touch 2d8 damage, + Shadow Mastery (if applicable).

Ripclaw furiously attacks the armored man, but only one of his claws gets past the man's strong defenses. The man doesn't seem to be slowed by the dinosaur's poison.
Jex's shadowy bolt strikes the man through his armor, wounding him, but the man resists the slowing effect from that as well.
Eissun flys forward and swipes at the blue-robed mage, but misses, as an invisible force deflects the blow.
Fuller considers his options; heal Aram or what? Deciding that shutting down the enemy mage is more urgent, though he can't quite see him, he casts a spell of silence through the doorway.
The blue-robed mage steps in line with the doorway, and despite the silence, he cautiously casts a spell that he's prepared for just such an emergency:
A globe of force appears, entrapping Jex and Ripclaw, along with the table. Aram dodges it as it forms, as does Girgal. (ooc: Girgal could choose to jump off Ripclaw and end up outside, or stay mounted in which case he's inside the sphere.)
The armored man swings his bastard sword at Aram, striking him once more and drawing more blood.
The strange brown-robed man attacks Aram with a flurry of fists; one hard blow glances off of Aram's head. It nearly stuns Aram but he shakes off the effect, though he's hurt. (ooc: Aram hp 38/82)

Girgal stays on Ripclaw and tries to dispel the globe from the inside.

Aram is certainly feeling the effects of his wounds, and hopes his companions can bring some of their magical might to bear to help win this battle. Focusing on reducing the number of foes, the dervish turns his blades on the brown robed man, hoping to have an easier time finding flesh.
Full Attack: +11/+6 Scimitar +1, holy (1d6+4 [+2d6 vrs evil], 18-20/x2) AND +11/+6 Scimitar +1, holy (1d6+4 [+2d6 vrs evil], 18-20/x2)
