Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC) 2

real hot actually!

[sblock]
Rosalia cannot believe it. A few moments earlier she was infused by the godlike feeling and now she was helpless being attacked by a monstruous altar!!

She tries to speak to the body parts composing the altar: "I can end this! You won't have to stay as an altar anymore! Be yourselves again! Free me!"

Tuk fires his sling stone, hitting and injuring the kobold that had struck Roderic. Seeing his companions injured, another kobold drops to a knee and fires off a crossbow bolt at Tuk in retaliation, wounding the man (-4 hps to Tuk).

1d20+4=22, 1d8=4

You start running down the hallway towards the sounds of fighting. As you turn one of the corridors that housed a door you never visited, you see a kobold in clerical robes rush out of it and run towards where your companions are battling it out. The cleric was oblivious to your presence in her rush, but when you peer into the room she came from you are stunned by a horrifying sight.

You see a large 60 foot square chamber. A large altar sits at the center of this room, flanked by two tall candle stands. From some divine knowledge revealed inside your head, you know that the altar is built from the still living remains of kobolds and derro who refused to yield to the Outer Gods' corruptive power. Their limbs have been removed and their torsos sewn together to form a crude table. The candle stands are built from still-living kobolds whose bones were liquefied by the Outer Gods' power then reformed and arranged to force their bodies into a pose suitable to hold candles during services. The kobolds' faces and jaws are set to hold one candle, while their arms extend straight up from their torsos to each clutch a candle. Their legs are half as long as normal, as their lower leg bones form two additional limbs extending from their lower torsos to form four stable legs for the stand.

The walls are covered with the still-living skin and organs of other creatures captured and warped by the Outer Gods' servants. Organs pulse, veins throb. Skin and body parts move and quiver slightly.

On the other side of the room, near the twisted altar, is Rosalia, frozen in place by some unknown magic. As you observe, the altar and candle-holders approach her. The candles bend near her body and are attempting to light her clothes on fire. If someone doesn't act soon, the held frozen Rosalia is likely to die a painful and fiery death. On the other hand, your companions are about to be attacked by a new threat they have not anticipated...

The remaining kobolds attack this turn with crossbow bolts aimed at John and Tuk, but all shots miraculously miss.

1d20+4=6, 1d8=2, 1d20+4=5, 1d8=5, 1d20+4=7, 1d8=7, 1d20+4=16, 1d8=4

Roderic, John and Scrag up!

"Ok, lets drop a couple of these walking diseases." John points his finger and two bolts of force are launched

John's magic missiles drop two of the kobolds, causing much consternation and chittering from the remaining creatures.

OOC: Roderic up!

Roderic drops the javelin and pulls out his longsword, swinging hard and catching a lucky break as he just barely manages to slice the kobold nearest him in the jugular. The other three kobolds reply with their light flails, but they are unable to pierce the armor of Roderic or the thick skin of Scrag.

OOC: Invisible castle is down for me, so I had to roll the dice at home. I also rolled at Roderic to move things along. Tuk is up!

"You'll pay for that worm!" Tuk bellows, throwing another bullet, aiming to take the head off some kobolds.
IC is down, Tuk's attack is 1d20+4; 1d4+3
