((Bardic Knowledge on the lich: total of 23. Passers.)) *Recognizing the robes from before, Faralon determines that the very lich they fought before facing Shailtor is here, once again wreaking havoc.* : "Cedric, that is the very same lich we fought before! Be careful, I fear he might try and use the same tactics as he used before. If he turns invisible, he'll not just have an aerial advantage - we can't let it get to that, if at all possible. Phoenix, approach cautiously. Let the front lines take care of the front lines. Aim for flying foes and ranged fighters. If any dire situations happen, just help where it's needed most."
*At this, he casts a spell, which seems to have no effect...*
((Casting Harmony. Prepare for some awesome buffers.))

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves at the sight of the large battle, Van then follows Ash towards the battle. (With both Haste and a double move, I should be able to move 5 spaces North-East. As far as I know, Van has only Haste and Protection From Evil buffs)

Laika sets forth, gaunlets ablaze, utilizing Voltron's power to make himself stronger. ((I don't have my sheet here, but I believe Laika normally moves 40' so he'll go as for north east he can go and still cast Bull's Strength on himself.)

Cedric whispers a few words in celestial, summoning his valiant steed and swinging atop with a heavy face, "Advance in formation until we reach level ground, then engage according to your commanders." The Paladin points his hammer forward, "Ranged units, bombard the enemy while we descend." He frowns heavily as Faralon recognizes the Lich, "We do have an advantage over last time in that he was not expecting our arrival..." ...unless this is another trap. Cedric pauses for a moment with a troubled frown, "Hit him fast and hard before he can adjust to our presence. If we have any luck, he'll have exhausted his most potent spells by now." The Paladin urges his steed forward, keeping pace with the others.
Lilah sings out in a whisper, conjuring an illusion into existence near her. As light warps into the form she has chosen for it, the Lillend slips along the crest of the mountain using it to provide her some cover.
[Move along the mountaintop two squares to the west.]
Lisa steps over the crest of the mountain and begins moving swiftly down the other side toward the enemy entrenched there. Her blade is drawn and at the ready.

Zook brings ADAM up 20' and forward 10', mindful of the battle raging below and the one taking place above, weighing his participation in each.

((All players who have not gone have been moved according to the will of Ally AI.)) The Cypress Expeditionary force moves forward as the fighting intensifies. The Sleet Storm blows hard, covering up half the enemy force as the defenders promptly shift fire to the other half. The massive wheeled machine in the center of the defender line begins to hum as orange light glows around its central mechanism. As the light grows blue, it strikes those who see it that it's very very similar to the effect of a Torch Eye...
And then the light lances forward, striking the armored giant near the lich. The light splinters apart when it strikes the monster, bombarding those around the monster with lesser beams of energy. A gunner on the machine fires a mounted firearm, but the bullets whiz harmlessly into the air, the panicking gunner not able to hit anything.
((Hit! Miss! 51 damage to the Death Titan. 18 damage to Moritae, and the Demon Master.))
The line troops in front fire their weapons, odd automatic rifles of some sort, at the Evil Beast charging at them. Despite the volume of firepower ripping into its flesh, the creature doesn't stop.
((Hit, Miss, Hit. 59 damage total.))
Much the same happens further down the line with the Devil Griffin. Despite a hail of projectiles shot into the beast's flesh, it doesn't drop.
((Hit, Miss, Miss. 27 damage total.))
Further back in the line, soldiers with odd bulky guns mounted on frames open fire as well, but their guns fail to pierce the supernaturally dense hides of their foes.
((Miss, Miss, Miss.))
A sleeker black vehicle fires a large cannon mounted on its turret with a deafening boom. A pillar of sand rises next to one of the Torch Eyes as the shot misses, the robot skittering out of the way.
A pair of precisely aimed shots obliterate the Demon Master's skull as the snipers cooly work in unison to eliminate a threat.
((Snipe used, auto-critical. Confirmed, Confirmed. Over 70 damage, Demon Master slain.))
The droning roar of a minigun is heard as yet more gunfire slams into the Evil Beast approaching the defender line, a man in odd armor bracing himself as he holds the massive weapon steady. Even this isn't enough to halt the creature, badly mangled though it now is.
((Hit, Miss, Miss.))
Another man in different armor holds a similar weapon, but a brilliant stream of energy bolts fires from this one, arcing through the sky to burn deeply into the Devil Griffin. The creature gives a hate-filled cry as it fails to avoid most of the bolts.
((Hit, Hit, Miss. ))
A rocket streaks from a hulking figure in the back line, blowing up near the Torch Eye and Death Titan, badly rending one, merely scratching the other.
((Hit.))
An explosion engulfs the Devil Griffin, scorching it badly, but the relentless devil presses on.
Isyndel's Sleet Storm is unusually effective given the foe. Though some manage to keep their balance and walk from the storm, and others fly above it, a significant number drop from the now icy and slippery sand.
Two men in bulky suits spew flames from their flamethrowers, one coating an Evil Beast in fire while another hits nothing but sand, the monster evading the stream of fire.
((Saves Failed and passed.))
The two Cornugons wheel in the sky, cackling gleefully as they chant and cause a rain of fire to envelop one of the defending vehicles and the troops around it. One soldier screams in pain as he is immolated, but the others manage to avoid enough of the fiery rain that they survive. The tank is smoking, but still operational after the magical barrage. One of the surviving soldiers screams as a Torch Eye beam burns through his side even as two Drowned Eye blanket the area with minigun fire. Perhaps by sheer force of will, the soldier remains standing, doggedly clutching his rifle. The wounded Devil Griffin dives at the soldier, but he ducks under the beast's claws, avoiding certain death.
A Bowmaster blast explodes in midair as one of the Evil Beasts charges one of the flame-using armored troops. The beast latches onto the oversived armored arm of the warrior and bites and claws at the hard metal surface, leaving scratches and gouges in the armor, but not piercing to injure.
((Miss, Miss.))
Another defender is charged by another of the beasts, but he mostly manages to jump out of the way, taking only a light scratch to the side.
((Hit for crap damage.))
A beam of light hits the other flamethrower as the Torch Eye does its work.
As Isyndel's Sleet Storm takes effect the lich turns and guffuws.
"My friends, my friends! How fortunate that we meet again in such short a time! You no doubt remember myself, Moritae, the lich... And I assure you that I remember you... But where is your fair Archmage friend?" Moritae asks with a skeletal grin. "Well I'm patient, I'll find her later... As for you... How about warming up a little before the main event, hmmm? This is my Death Titan, a true triumph of necromancy... He'll keep you company while we entertain these interlopers."
Moritae utters a familar string of syllables and fire rains down on the Force. The monstrous "Death Titan", a huge humanoid covered completely in armor stomps forward, the earth shaking with each titantic step. Kyoji neatly flips out of the way of every fiery bolt that rains down on him.
((Blaze Level 2 cast. 41 damage to everyone but Zook, Castor, Lilah, Merkass, and Rhizor. Ref save DC20 for half.))
Next turn!

Sulia frowned, her eyes narrowing as the flames come towards her, the servant of the light dodging the majority of the strike, her heritage protecting her further as she raises her mace and heads swiftly towards the Death Titan, holy light surrounding her and her mace. She attacks fiercely, mace lashing out hard.
((Ref save: 13+7+2 = 22. Pass. 21 damage -10 resistance = 11 damage to Sulia. In a hurry so damage and stuff later.
Edit: Rightio. 3 squares right. Attack the big thing.
Attack: 16+8+5+2(WotD)+1(WotD) = 32. Hit. I'm assuming.
Damage: 5+5+9(WotD: Holy)+3(WotD)+1(Mstrwrk) = 23 damage.
Edit 2: Also, since her nimbus is active...undead things in 10ft take 1d4 damage.))

Kethra, following Kyoji's "example", also flips out of the way of the bolts of fire. With her skills, she is not hurt in the slightest. [(Reflex Save: 17 + 11 = 28) Improved Evasion kicks @$$] Damas moves out of the path of a great deal of the bolts of fire raining down on them. Those that do hit him are absorbed by the shield of flames around him. Damas is left unharmed.
[(Reflex Save: 14 + 6 = 20) Damas takes no damage because of his Fire Shield spell]
((I'll take my actions later after sorting a few things out))

((I am Cedric, hear me rawr, with too many twenties to ignore...)) [Reflex Save(Cedric): 20...+ 22 = 42 : Evasion] [Reflex Save(FC): 4 + 6 = 10 : Improved Evasion] The waves of flame wisp harmlessly around Cedric, as if driven aside by his will alone. His mount, despite its name, is not so fortunate although it manages to avoid the brunt of the fiery blast.
[Divine Shield: +5 AC, 5 Rounds]
The Paladin whispers an urgent prayer, calling upon Mitula for guidance and protection in this coming struggle. As he completes this prayer, his buckler glows with a sacred light. Then he urges his steed forward into a mighty leap which carries it over the rugged slope and down into the first of the foothills.

((Okay, first thing I need to know is if my DR/- goes towards the fire, and if so, does it stack with my resistance? Also, does my ring of energy resistance apply to fire? I don't think I got a straight answer out of this before. And if it does, does it stack with the resistance from my gloves (which is fire resistance IIRC)?))

((Nevermind,I managed to find it in an older thread aparently it's a "Ring of Major Electrical Resistance" and call me crazy, but I don't think that applies to fire.

The Lich's spell proved to be a catalyst sending the werewolf into a fit of rage. He then charged towards the titan hacking into it with everything he had.
((Laika ends up 3 squares north, and 6 squares east. Even if it's 20' per square, Laika has more than enough movement to reach this spot.

Note: Laika has DR2/-, Fire Res5, and Major Electricty Res. If you could factor those in for me before telling me how much damage I took, that'd be greatly appreciated.
P.S: I'm not sure what would've been funnier, rolling a 6 on my attack roll instead of a 10, or that my attack and damage both total 34. ))

Van attacks the Death Titan! Despite the terrifying sight of the thing before him, his attacks are unusually good for someone like him. (4 normal attacks! Hit=16(d20)+11(BAB)+1(Enchantment)+5(STR)+4(bard)+1(haste)=38 Hit=7(d20)+6(BAB)+1(Enchantment)+5(STR)+4(bard)+1(haste)=24

((Reflex save passed, Isyndel loses 20 HP.)) Isyndel slowly trenched toward the fray, edging a bit closer as she began workings on a spell. The undead had continually repelled attacks of certain types of elemental forces before in previous encounters, and the wizardess once again scolded herself for not anticipating their presence. She frowned, disobeying an order was not something she cared to do, but the variables had changed since Faralon's statement. The lich and the Titan were the only threat thus far.
With a quick string of words and a few scant movements of her hands, Isyndel lashed three fiery magic bolts at the Death Titan.
((5' step, taking over Cedric's spot. Maximized Scorching Ray cast, all three rays targetting the Death Titan.
Ray 1: 16 + 5 (Bab) + 3 (Dex) + 4(Faralon) = 28

:
"The Death Titan is another we dread,
'Should be no surprise that it is undead!
The enemy strikes, but we're defiant,
The Death Titan is some sort of giant!"
((And since Faralon's teh awesome performer and Marine's nice, the song gives an extra +1 (for a total of +5 to attack and damage) for the rest of the battle!))

Damas begins to weave intricate patterns in the air with his hands, and he speaks words of power. The sky above the Death Titan begins to darken, and bolts of lightning rain down from heavens to strike the creature. [Damas casts Bolt 1 on the Death Titan.

((We're supposed to act on orders, but since it doesn't seem that Zook is going to give orders any time soon, time for some Titan smashing Kethra also uses the Lion Ring to up her STR by 4)) Kethra, seeing the Titan as the biggest threat right now, goes over to say hello. Kethra tries to hit it with a punch.

*Aurik quickly ducks out of the path of the fire behind the cover of the mountainous terrain. Then, without wasting a moment, he calls the fervor of firey jubilation into his allies. All feel a spring in their step and the burdens of the world and their gear lessened.*

*Merkass' eyes narrow into a disgusted squint at the behemoth undead in front of him. The air is putrefied by its very presence.

"Take a message back to your master, fiend," Gabriel growled, increasing in size as he rapidly shifted into the form of a dire lion. Almost as if on cue, Rhizor increased the already large lion's size with a spell, then steps aside so as not to obstruct the minotaur's progress. Now a huge snarling mass of muscle, the transformed half-giant growled and raged before tearing the rest of the way down the mountain. No sooner did he get within range than his claws met with an invisible barrier. Even so he persisted, finishing with a bite which held the lich tight. To further add to the damage, he continued to dig in one he established the hold, desperately trying to rend the undead fiend to bits.
((Gabe shifts into primeval form, aka Dire Lion status, just before Rhizor socks him with an Animal Growth. He then rages, before pouncing on poor Moritae.
Gabe moves one square east and however many north he can make it (he's moving in a diagonal, not two straight lines) before attacking.
Gabe also needs to be enlarged to 3x3 on the map.
Haste Claw: 1d20 +20 (str) +9 (bab) +5 (bardic) +1 (haste) - 9 (pa) -1 (size) +2 (charge) = 31

Damage: 1d8 +20 (str) +9 (pa) +5 (bardic) = 37
Claw2: 1d20 +20 (str) +9 (bab) +5 (bardic) +1 (haste) - 9 (pa) -1 (size) +2 (charge) = 40
Damage: 1d8 +20 (str) +9 (pa) +5 (bardic) = 35
Bite: 1d20 +20 (str) +4 (bab) +5 (bardic) +1 (haste) - 9 (pa) -1 (size) +2 (charge) = 26
Damage: 2d6 +10 (str) +9 (pa) +5 (bardic) = 32
If the bite hits...
Grapple: 1d20 +20 (str) +9 (bab) +8 (size) = 39
If the grapple succeeds...
Rend: 1d8 +10 (str) +9 (pa) +5 (bardic) = 31
Summary: 170 damage over 5 attacks, all before dr (which doesn't apply anyway).
== Gabe ==
Rage (13 rnds)
Primeval Form (10 rnds)
Haste (10 rnds)
Shield (79 rnds)
Enlarge Person (79 rnds)
Cat's Grace (109)
Animal Growth (??)
Elation (??)
Also... would Ash really need to make a spellcraft check to notice what's going on with Gabe's attacks, or have we seen it enough to know by now?))

Castor grins appreciatively at the spectacle of carnage that Gabe had made of the formerly recognizable body of Moritae, the undead bastard getting what he deserved for a second time. However, he'd be damned if he was going to be outdone by a cat, even one that was twice his size. Turning to the Death Titan, the minotaur makes a bee-line for it, barreling down mountain and hill with reckless abandon before slamming into the undead husk, his attacks carrying all the force of an roaring avalanche.
[Charge the Death Titan, Full PA-Headless Charge. +11 PA, -11 AC.
Attack 1[Gore]: 1d20(14)+11(BAB)+10(STR)+1(Haste)=36.

((Umm... mind if I ask how you guys are getting full attacks on your charges? Cause I'd like to get in on that aswell.))

Posted by: TheUnknownMarine Fri Sep 08, 2006 12:39 am
((You can't charge over difficult terrain unless you make a Jump check to simply leap over it.)) Sulia runs forward, landing a crushing blow on the Death Titan, her holy light searing the unholy abomination. The Death Titan lunges out at the favored soul, but she nimbly ducks under the massive blade. Laika is not so lucky as the undead giant whirls around and clocks the wolfman with his sword just as the warwolf makes it to him.
((AoO: Miss, Hit. Laika is hit for... I kid you not. 34 damage.))
Van moves up and whirls his halberd at the creature, chopping doggedly at the undead's legs with his weapon and mangled them quite a bit. Then Isyndel steps forward to unleash her spell upon the Death Titan. The monster gives off a chilling howl as the spell impacts its armor, causing it to glow red, then white hot and slag in the three places it touched.
Damas calls lightning down upon the titanic undead, but the spell seems to have no effect, the lightning coursing over the giant without note.
Due to the rough terrain, Kethra is unable to make it to her desired spot, though she manages to make it to the beast and avoid being attacked.
Merkass hops five feet to the side and fires his bow thrice, each arrow going through the Titan and striking the Demon Master behind him. The spellcaster seems on the brink of death.
Moritae growls as the giant lion picks him up in its mouth, the crushing power of Gabriel held at bay as each contact falls upon a shimmering energy field around the undead mage.
((Energy Shield: Dropped 2 level 9 spells to absorb 162 points of damage. Rest absorbed by DR.))
"You've caused me to lose my most powerful magic for today, beast..." Moritae calmly remarks even as the lion holds him fast. "But I hardly need it for the simpering simpleton likes of you... Aratha!"
Moritae vanishes from sight, Gabriel's mouth clenching tight on nothing.
Though no one can see it, the lich reappears in the midst of Isyndel's icy storm.
Kyoji, now invisible, most as swiftly as he can over the mountainous terrain.
Castor is unable to make it to the Death Titan, the difficult terrain preventing him from charging forward as he intended to. The monstrous axeman tries leaping over the obstacles, but it doesn't work. In the end, he only manages to make it to the Death Titan.
((Failed Jump check, unable to charge.))
Meanwhile, the line troopers fire their weapons again and again on full automatic, inflicting wound after wound, but manmade weapons only do so much against devils... The monsters press on even as hunks of their flesh are blown off. Backing away, one of the soldiers trips and falls, his weapon falling from his hands even as a Devil Griffin swoops down to pounce on this opportunity. The Griffin veers away at the last minute as it and teh nearby Torch Eye leap out of the way of the clouds of fire bursting from the arms of the nearby flamethrower equipped soldier.
Elsewhere, fire is concentrated against the Evil Beast currently aflame. The creature is finally torn to shreds by a hail of energy bolts from one of the soldiers in the bulky, mechanized armor. Another one of the hulking figures tears apart a Torch Eye with a constant stream of lead from his minigun.
A stream of fire engulfs one of the Chaos Dragons, but it doesn't do much, the beast's unnatural resistance shielding it from too much harm. Nearby, the tank fires its cannon, the weapon booming a deafening challenge that tears right through one of the Torch Eyes, sending up a cloud of sand where the robot once was.
The commander of the group shouts orders left and right, keeping his men's morale as high as he can, and improving the unit's cohesiveness as a force vastly.
A hail of gunfire slams into the Cornugon flying above the sleet storm, causing its foul blood to be spilled like unholy rain into the icy winds below. The devil grins evilly as the sheer impact of the fire forces it back a little, shouting a power word and gesturing as lightning strikes forth, lancing through the center of the defenders, only a single one even able to twist partially out of the way.
: "Damn it! So many injured... If only those bastards hadn't of greased our medics, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
Another hail of gunfire slams into the Cornugon, wounding it badly. The devil doesn't cease grinning, though...
The odd tank in the center of the group fires its Laser-Eye-like weapon again, but the powerful slams into the sand a few inches to the side of its target, one of the Drowned Eye. The skeleton is unfazed by his close call, continuing to fire his weapon at the enemy.
The other Cornugon chuckles amusedly as it unleashes another hail of fire at the other tank and its guards. The southmost trooper screams as he is set on fire. One by one, ammunition clips on his body begin to cook off... Then it reaches the grenades on his belt and even his corpse is no more. His comrade soon follows him as Drowned Eye gunfire finds an unprotected spot in his armor, and a trio of bullets enter his heart, stopping his life.
Gabriel suddenly shocked by fiery pain as the southern Bowmaster launches a pair of Assault Shells in his direction, both impacting on his furry skin.
((Hit, Hit. 40 damage total.))
A pair of the same weapons slam into Lilah, explosions crushing the beautiful white wings with brute force.
((Hit, Critical Hit! 28 and 42 damage, for a total of 70.))
Most of those remaining in the sleet storm now exit the whirling blizzard.
The Devil Griffin near the downed soldier pounces on him, scratching and pecking, but the body armor of the soldier protects him well. He even manages to roll away from the worst of it as the Chaos Dragon breathes on him. Even so, he's near death by the end of the assaults.
To the south, the flamethrower jumps aside as a stream of chaos streaks past him, catching his legs and causing him to cry out as they mutated and dissolved partially.
A Devil Griffin dives down upon one of the snipers and begins to maul him viciously.
As this happens, the Demon Master shouts out several arcane syllables and a lightning storm forms around him, bolts raining down on Cedric, Castor, Van, Sulia, Laika, and Kethra.
((Bolt 1 cast. Everyone listed takes 37 electrical damage, no save.))
Finally the Death Titan swings his giant sword, knocking Sulia, Van, and Kethra off their feet and back with his rain of awesome blows.
((Hit, Hit, Hit. 26,26, and 31 damage to Sulia, Kethra, and Van, respectively. Saves failed. All of them are knocked back 10' and prone.))
Next turn!

The first bolt erupts against the rocky face of the mountain, sending debris scattering across the area. The second blasts through an illusion of Lilah, erasing it in an instant and screaming down the back of the mountain before exploding below.
Lilah swallows at the powerful explosions, her eyes wide with surprise and fear, before she flaps her wings mightily and soars over to the others. She lands behind Zook, completely hidden from view by the mountain. She takes in a deep breath, looking at her shaking heads and then glances up, whispering out in a singsong voice, "Thank the Light..." She glances around and shakes her head, "I was nearly slain..."

Van's not dead?

((Alright, so it seems we went with Elation is first round, and Aurik drops a domain CMW on Van in round 2, which gives him (2d8 + 10)*1.5 = 8 + 7 + 7 + 15 = 37 hp back. Round 3 is Aurik dropping a MCLW for 1d8+ 12 = 5 + 12 = 17 hp to everybody.
The moral of this story: Even with no personality, Van is a lucky SOB.))
*Aurik gasps at the sudden destruction wrought by the terrible death titan. Without wasting a second, the cleric opens his arms wide, and his allies feel an inner radiance. Their wounds begin to close, and with Sulia's aid, they feel majorly rejeuvenated.*
*Merkass is amazed that the enormous undead still stands after the amazing assault launched against it. Merkass launches two mroe arrows into the titanic undead, then the sound of explosions ring in his mind. Gabriel would be beneficial in this battle, and Merkass would see to it that he would receive all the back up the shapeshifted warrior needed. Seeing the still-smoking barrel held by the bow knight, Merkass fires two more arrows into it as well.*

Sulia curses as she is knocked back, stepping back a little further, chanting to herself, and calling upon the power of the light to bless them and heal their wounds. She pauses for a moment, noting the fallen Van and her eyes blaze with anger. She didn't really know him but he was a comrade...and they would pay. She shook her head and finished her spell.
((Mass CLW: 5+11 = 16 hp to everyone. 5ft step diagonally so that she's beside Asathael.))

Kethra yelps in pain as bolts of lighting strike her, and electricity courses through her body. Not even a moment or two later, the Death Titan's sword cuts into her body, knocking her back and to the ground. Kethra comes around after a few moments, moaning in pain from the horrid wound the Death Titan had inflicted, and some electrical burns from the enemy mage's damned spell. As the healing light washes over her body, she sighs with slight relief and rises from the ground. The monk watches the Death Titan closely, ready to block any on coming blows.
[Kethra stands up and goes on Full Defense]
Damas scoffs, very much annoyed that his spell had no effect of the Death Titan. Fire would probably cause this creature harm, but he did not possess such spells.
((I have no clue what a 15' radius looks like, so could someone tell/show me if the Demon Master and Bowrider can both fit into it?))

((It's times like these I miss AIM... So, is that 34 that Laika took from the titan before or after DR?)) Th Champion of Gibberish would've let out a yelp in response to the death titan if he had time, but Laika was too busy fighting back to notice the massive blow, or the significantly less effective bolt of lightning.

Zook sees the Death Titan tear into his allies. ADAM twists a bit, one of its arms and a mounted barrel pointing downward like the finger of an angry god. Soundlessly two blasts of radiation strike the undead giant, tearing through the ephemeral mist of Isyndel's spell.
((Two shots fired from the laser rifle. Two hits. 27 and 22 damage respectively.))

[Right...since the last one was such a fiasco, let's try this again.] Castor grits his teeth as electricity dances across his skin, scorching burns marks into his fur as he braces himself. Shaking off the blow, the axeman slices into the rotting flesh of the Titan, each clean blow fueling the next to slice deeper.

Sooo..... it seems Van isn't dead yet. He is at roughly 2/3 HP though Wincing in pain briefly before the wave of healing energy washed over him, Van struggled over his feet and moved back towards the Death Titan before attacking once more.

Satisfied for the most part at the results of the surge on the Titan, Isy reached for her wand. It was a risky assumption at best to rely on their continued assault to bring the creature down, but once again she found herself noting the variables of the battle had changed. Casting a wary eye over the battlefield she quickly picked a location and began the workings of another spell. A small, distinctly blue bead of force lashed forth from her hand and exploded into a dazzling explosion of ice.
((Casting Defensively: 16(d20) + 16 = 32, passes. Freeze 2 (Iceball) cast on the southern edge of the map, bursting approximately three squares south of the ... Drowned Eye, I think it's called. Empowered through Isyndel's wand, 20 ft radius should catch both Drowned Eye and the Bowrider thing. SR applies, REF for half.
Damage 10d6 = 34 x 1.5 = 51 ice damage to all three))

"Guess it's time to give it the magic touch," Ashathel said, pointing two fingers at the undead mosnter. Instantly jets of flame shot forth, scorching the amalgam of undead flesh. ((Scorching Ray cast on the Death Titan Touch attack: 1d20 +9 (bab) +7 (dex) +3 +10 (sword) (greaves) +1 (haste) = 33
Damage = [4d6 (ray 1) +4d6 (ray2)] x1.5 (vulnerability to fire) = 30 *1.5 = 45 fire damage
After the spell, move one square N (20), 1 square NE (10'), 2 squares N (20'), and one more square NE (10). That adds up to 60', puts me on top of castor, and I still have another 5 feet of movement. If I can use the 5' to move onto the sand, I will; if not, then I won't, obviously.))
The lion, now freed from the confines of the mountain, wasted no time in taking off across the sand. Within two swings of his paws the bowrider was rent completely, and Gabriel turned his attention to the Vrock. Continuing the barrage of claws attacks, he bit down on the foul creature and shook hard, bringing it close to death's door.

Merkass fires two arrows into the Titan, the projectiles blasting out the other side to slay the Demon Master even as he tries to take refuge in the storm. The cat archer whirls around and puts another arrow into the head of the southern Bowmaster, the centaur collapsing into the sand as the arrow pierces his brainpan. Laika then joins the fray, rending the armor of the Titan of to claw at thick bone underneath... For the giant undead is but a skeleton in armor... but covered in blood. Then Castor's mighty axe cleaves off the giant's right arm... then the left... With his final blow, the minotaur decapitates the Death Titan and the creature falls with a thunderous boom. The blood encasing its bones splashes outward, forming a pool around the downed enemy as its animation leaves it.
Van takes full cover in the hills for now, his only target defeated.
Isyndel, seeing one of her targets slain, redirects her spell so that it strikes the other Drowned Eye instead. One of teh undead dodges out of the way, but the other is hit full on by the icy hail and shatters.
((If hitting another enemy is OK with you, Don. : P ))
Gabriel pounces on the Bowmaster near the Titan, tearing apart the centaur with savagery before doing the same to the nearby Drowned Eye. Bits of bone fly into the air as the lion does its work.
Unnoticed, Kyoji arrives at the Northern Bowmaster's side. The centaur fires a trio of shots at the airborne Zook, but he effortlessly avoids the missles. The Bowmaster growls in frustration as he reloads his oversized crossbow.
Meanwhile, the northern Devil Griffin claws apart the prone trooper, his screams piercing the valley as he dies.
Other line troopers concentrate their fire, and a particularly devastating burst from one of them takes down one of the Evil Beasts. At the same time one of the armored soldiers unleashes a hail of minigun fire that digs deeply into the northern Chaos Dragon's scales. It's joined by the larger figure's own gun, tearing off scale after scale as they team up on the monster. Meanwhile, some minor gunshots pour into the Devil Griffin from a panicking grunt.
Faralon calls down a lightning storm upon the battlefield, destroying the last Torch Eye even as it rains havoc into the enemy. The Chaos Dragon however, doesn't seem affected by the magic. It does however, seem affected by the searing ray of light that lances from the nearby vehicle, searing its wings off and forcing it to drop from the sky.
The Devil Griffin and the sniper struggle, the Griffin taking a single shot to the wing while the sniper takes several claw rakes to the chest. The southern Chaos Dragon is beset by a hail of energy bolts from the final armored man even as the flamethrower continues to coat it in bluish-white fire. The dragon continues to evade, though, lashing out at the armored man with a flurry of claws, and teeth. Miraculously, each strike finds a flaw or breach in the battered armor and exploits it. By the end, the soldiers is wounded, badly.
The southern Drowned Eye is blown away as the tank fires another shell.
The Drowned Eye in the Sleet storm tries and fails once more to get up.
A Devil Griffin swoops down to strike deep into enemy lines, tearing apart another soldier with a surprise attack.
The Cornugons strike the southern tank in unison with bolts of lightning. Smoke begins to rise from part of the tank and sparks dance around it, though it still moves.
Moritae rises from the storm, hovering 20' over the raging ice.
"Is this the bes... My Death Titan! Ahh! You know how long it took to... Rrrg... No matter... Taste the fury of the storm! Greater Bolt!" Moritae howls as he murmurs a quick chant and gestures. A rain of lighting falls upon the group.
((Bolt 2. Castor takes 70 damage. Everyone within 30' of him, which is Gabriel, Ashathel, Van, Cedric, Sulia, Laika, Rhizor and Kethra, takes 35 damage. Ref save DC 23 for half.))

((I would have taken an action last round but I was waiting to see if anything else happened in the Van fiasco... Then my little brother decided to throw a fit about not being able to get on RuneScape. So I lost the internet from around 3:30 in the afternoon till 11:00 at which time my mom got on to check her email and I went to bed. :/ So... I'm going to take last round's actions now.))
[Last Round]
Cedric urges his mount forward, clearing the foothills and coming to a stop near the butchered Death Titan. He takes in a deep breath and focuses his energy, empowering himself.
[Mount has a movement speed of 60, which is more than enough to clear the foothills.]
[Power Surge: +8 STR for 4 Rounds]
Lilah sings out magical words and a ray beams forth from her finger, striking Zook.
[Ray of Hope: Zook : 6 Rounds : +2 Morale Bonus on all Actions, doesn't stack with bardic music. :/ But it applies to skill checks so...]
[This Round]
[Reflex Save: 6 + 22 = 28 : Evasion]
The powerful blast of electricity lashes around the Paladin, held at bay by his will alone. As it subsides, he gestures to the foul Lich, "Merkass! Zook! Rid me of this pathetic mockery of not only life but wizardry!" He glances at the nearest visible fiend, his eyes narrowing, "Well done! Continue to press on!" He then urges his noble steed forward beyond the sleet storm and into view of the foes on the other side.
[Move: Forward until I have a clear line of charging at the Chaos Dragon and crew. Near that little burning spot would be fine.]
Lilah spreads her wings and flies forward cautiously, landing near the remains of the Death Titan. She pulls out the wand she was given and sings out words of magic. Then she reaches out and touches the favored soul.
[CMW: 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 : Sulia]

Zook spies the lich soaring out of the storm as Cedric's words meet his ears. He levels both arms of ADAM at the foul arcanist as he calls down to his leader. "All righty!" ((One shot of the rifle and one of the minigun. Rifle: nat 16 = hit Damage: 30 radiation

((Ref: 12 + 8 + 2(CG) + 1(Elation) + more = passed)) Laika miraculously avoids being even remotely hit by the lightning called upon by the lich. Due to both his quick reactions and one of the rings he wears. If he wasn't currently busy going crazy go nuts, he'd thank VOLTRON for it. But he was too preoccupied running to tear his next enemy into pieces to bother with such things.
((Okay... If the Cornyguy, (or whatever the golden gargoyle type dude's name is) is within Laika's reach, he charges his ass. If he's in the air and out of reach, Laika charges that guy that appears to be on fire in the distance (Assumeing it's not one of the defender dudes, and is again, within reach). If neither of those targets are in reach (Which I doubt). Have someone else take Laika's action, cause I don't know what else he'd do.
Incase a jump check is required to avoid the blood...

Castor manages to throw himself away at the last second, the bolt scorching his side as sparks slithered across the ground. Raising a steely glare to his new opponent, the minotaur levels the Atlas Axe at the skeletal sorceror, a rain of fire his reply to the Lich's own assault.

Isyndel turned her attention to the lich as the others did so as well. She bit her lip tensely as she began the weavings a spell she had never tested before, cautiously manipulating her movements and sound. When the time came, she released an emerald ray from her fingertip, levelling it directly at the lich.

(Well, lets see, can't reach anything to kill, so I suppose just move Van to the north, and if possible, a bit to the east so he is in the space right above the Death Titan's body. Mainly get him out of the mountains. Double move action with haste is 120.
With all the buffs and rolling a 14, I got exactly 23 for the save.)

[Reflex save: 11 + 11 = 22. Failed. Kethra takes half damage due to Improved Evasion] Kethra tries to dodge the bolts of lightning, and even though she doesn't succeed, she doesn't fail either. Her reflexes are so good now, that she does seem to be hurt as badly as she should be. Kethra moves over the rough terrain with the others, though she isn't able to move as fast as she usually can.
[Kethra moves 3 spaces NorthWest, 3 spaces East]
Damas pulls forth a piece of amber, as well as some silver pins, and steps up. He weaves symbols in the air, and speaks words of powers to trigger his spell. A bolt of lightning strikes the Devil Griffin first, and then two secondary bolts branch off to strike the Chaos Dragon, and the Evil Beast.
[Damas moves 1 space North and casts Bolt 2, centered on the Devil Griffin. It also hits the Evil Beast and the Chaos Dragon.
Damage: Devil Griffin (45 electrical), Chaos Dragon (18 electrical), Evil Beast (21 electrical)
That's baring any resistance]

Zook's attacks strike the Lich only to be deflected by his barrier. ((Dropped 3 Level 1 spells and 1 second level to absorb 45 damage. DR takes care of the rest.)) Laika charges the Chaos Dragon and rips off a large scale with his hands, causing the beast to roar and turn, taking notice of this new foe.
Moritae wheels in the, avoiding as much as he can of the fire magic sent against him.
((Save passed. 27 damage to Moritae. 1 second and 1 first level spell dropped to absorb damage.))
The lich growls in irritation as Isyndel's spell strikes him next, draining more of his power into the shield.
((1 7th level spell dropped to absorb 63 damage.))
Kethra moves in a 'V' pattern, first Northwest, then east.
The northern bowmaster raises its weapon to fire, but suddenly gasps out in pain instead as a blade is rammed into his back and out his torso before another blade is stabbed into his neck, the first sword swiftly being pulled out only to stab again until the warrior topples, leaving Kyoji visible for a split second before disappearing again.
((Hit, Hit, Hit, 102 damage, dead Bowmaster.))
Damas' Bolt 2 spell has little effect on the combatants, most of them able to avoid the worst of it save for the Chaos Dragon, who simply ignores the lightning.
((Saves passed, passed, failed.))
Merkass runs, targetting a new devil even as a stream of arrows flows from his quiver. Four arrows pierce the flying Cornugon, giving it pause as it turns to regard the feline archer with hatred.
Gabriel rushes up northward and rends apart the Devil Beast with gusto despite the fact that it's on fire. Though he suffers some minor burns, the barbarian in the shape of the lion has triumped over his foe.
((Gabriel takes 5 fire damage.))
The two Cornugons once more pour forth lightning at the southern tank, and it is too much for the vehicle to take. The ammunition stockpile detonates and the crew and conveyance is no more, their funeral pyre a dazzling display of pyrotechnics as shell after shell detonates.
The last Drowned Eye finally gets his footing and begins to walk out of the Sleet Storm.
A Devil Griffin pounces on the commander of the other group, clawing at him even as it evades the fire of his guards. Meanwhile, the Chaos Dragon that Damas wounded falls to the massed fire of the two remaining line troopers, a sniper, and the laser eye tank's machine gun turret.
The flamethower soldier looks uncertain as the wolfman and elf flank the dragon. Finally he backs off, stating, "I can't hit it without hitting you!"
The Chaos Dragon turns and snaps at Laika viciously, then claws at him, but the blessing of Volcanon still stands, and he is unharmed.
The Cornugon flying over the sleet storm shrieks as the massed firepower of half the crash survivors tears through it, ripping apart its wings and causing its lifeless corpse to plummet into the ice.
Moritae flies closer to the group, chuckling darkly.
"Don't think I've forgotten about you, kittycat. Aren't you a bit cold in those mountains, though? No? You will be! Freeze!" Moritae shouts as he calls upon the Ultimate Freeze spell to rain down icy shards on Merkass.
((Freeze level 4 cast. 72 cold damage to Merkass. No save.))
Next turn!

Zook lowers ADAM's minigun as the barrels spin out, smoking. Out of ammo. He raises the Silence's rifle higher and points it to the distant Cornugon, and fires, two blasts of chemical radiation lancing into the distant devil, leaving smoking wounds but failing to fell it.
((Hit, hit. 50 damage total))

((Fort Save versus Massive Damage: 1d20 + 11 = 15 + 11 = 26. Pass. I also just realized I forgot to take Aurik's action last round. That was my own dumb fault, though, so I'm not retroing an action.)) *The flash freeze causes Merkass' skin the crack and bleed as he is instantly covered with ice then thaws once again. His fur feels brittle, some of it snapping and falling to the ground. The red from the blood begins to seep through his coat, and he shivers uncontrollably. The scout shakes it off and leaps over the rubble back toward his allies, hoping for assistance. Even still, badly wounded he continues his assault on his enemies. He launches another hail of arrows in the cornugons directions. The first fires masterfully, but on the second the cold catches up to him. His fingers, still cold and less dextrous than usual tarry on the bowstring too long, putting a twist on it and causing the arrow to fly errant. Merkass hisses, but continues, the third arrow flying directly through the Cornugon's head. Believing it to be dispatched, Merkass switches focus to the foul, undead wizard, launching an arrow into him as well.*

*Aurik sees the immense pain wrought upon the catfolk ranger and moves swiftly to his aid. He nearly stumbles over much of the rock, but makes it to him just in time. Aurik lays a hand upon the catfolk's shoulder, and he channels the blessing of Volcanon into Merkass. Suddenly, his wounds close at an alarming rate, and his fur appears less mottled and ragged.*

*Rhizor recalls the last battle they had with the lich as well as a tactic that had proved well against it.

Castor watched with satisfaction as the lich descended, a malious grin crawling across his face. There were no more tricks to hide behind, no more storms he could conjure that could save him from his fate at the minotaur's hands. Hunkering down into his standard charging stance, he scraped his hoofs against the rocky ground, letting the dust settle as he anticipated the coming charge. Finally, he shot out, storming across rock and blood to rain down three thundering blows upon the lich.

Cedric glances around the battlefield and notes the soldier under attack almost directly before him. He holds his hammer at the ready and cries out, "Ashathel! To the side!" He then urges his mount forward into a charge towards the fiendish griffin, pausing only if the magical warrior does not step to the side.

As the noble steed charges forward, the hammer Cedric wields seems to cry out in fury. As it erupts in lightning slamming into the fiendish griffin, the cry erupting into a thunderous roar. The Paladin looks over the defenders keenly, his eyes narrowed.

As her comrades closed in on the Lich she found herself losing options with her remaining magic for the day. Most of the other creatures were too simply too far away or possessed the very same risk: catching her allies in the effects of her magic. Focusing on her wand, she released three more beams of flame toward Moritae.

Kethra smiles, her target now within her reach. Moving about in a way that helps her to avoid being attacked, the monk stops right before Moritae. Without saying one word, she balls up her hand into a fist and punches him. True, he did have the magical shield, but he had to exhaust his magic eventually.

Damas too finds himself running out of targets, now that his allies are in the way. There was one spell that could help. It was simple, sure, but better than nothing. His eyes narrow at the Devil Griffin that had survived his spell. With all luck, the foul beast would not be so lucky this time. Damas weaves symbols in the air and speaks words of power to trigger his spell. Five blue energy missiles spring forth from his palm and fly towards their target, hitting the mark.

Angered that the lich continued to defile the world with his presence, the lion growled in defiance. Only Moritae's height proved to be a barrier, else he would long since have been put to the final rest... And then Rhizor's spell took effect, causing the fiend to drop like a rock. With the only barrier to his progress now removed, Gabriel took off across the sand and came down on the lich, leaving the last thing Moritae saw before the assault the lion's face.

Zook and Merkass' shots combine to slay the Cornugon, the devil's body disintegrating as it falls to the sand below. Aurik is forced to leap the last few feet, but manages to make it to Merkass' side. A massive windstorm strikes Moritae and the lich falls to the ground, but without harm to his sturdy bones.
Van cannot attack with all his strikes due to the distance he is from the lich. However, his blow is not met with the Energy Shield and strikes the undead's body. The Shield rises again when he is through.
Castor charges, but as he runs through the Sleet Storm, his feet slip and he falls down.
((Check failed.))
Cedric charges, dealing a grievous blow to the Devil Griffin even as Isyndel's spell burns at the shield surrounding the lich.

Kethra punches Moritae, unhindered by the Shield, but it has little effect.
"That's all? Your attacks are nothing to me!" Moritae shouts.
Damas' magic missle nearly kills the Devil Griffin to the north, the magical beast being unable to take much more.
Laika rips deep into the Chaos Dragon, but does not kill the beast.
"Fine!" the soldier shouts as he runs towards one of his comrades.
Ashathel then assaults the monster, causing it to breath heavily as its foul blood spills onto the sand.
Gabriel charges the downed lich, crushing him in his mighty jaws again.
((2 level 8 spells dropped for 144 damage absorbed. DR takes care of the rest.))
"I have more tricks up my sleeve than that, beast..." Moritae mumbles, tapping his staff against the lion and unleasing a wave of cold at Gabriel.

The Devil Griffin Damas struck rolls to the side to avoid a jet of flames, but is torn apart shortly thereafter by
The Chaos Dragon roars in pain as bullets rip through its body, the two remaining line troopers concentrating on it. It looks near death, but still manages to breath in one last time, blasting a stream of chaotic energy at Laika, but the wolfman manages to dodge mostly out of the way.
((Ref save passed, Laika takes 46 damage instead of 92.))
The Devil Griffin ignores Cedric for now, concentrating on its kill, clawing at the sniper until he is a breath away from death. The gunman counterattacks, but the shot merely grazes off the beast.
The Devil Griffin attacking the commanding officer is swiftly rent apart by the combined fire of the remaining forces.

Clad in Black armour that seemed to cling to the form and reveal the full lustriousness of the supple and slim body contained therein. The figure turned to Stare at the Group, and a laughed, a lilting cheerful sound. His hands slowly moved up and his hood went down.
Standing before them was Amelios, far more beautiful than before, his fabulous brown hair now a deep black, and his gentle eyes now bored and cold. He sighed, shaking his head at the group, delivering a chilling smile.
"Mightier than The Light, Volcanon is my slave...more beautiful than Mitula, I put her face to shame! Oh look at me, oh what do you see?"
Amelios bowed mockingly.
"Ah my friends, still as skilled at Slaughter as ever. I'd love to chat and have a drink but I have work to do. I'll let you introduce yourself to my new friends. And Merkass? Not this time."
Amelios laughed and pulled out a scroll, chanting. The air nearby Amelios Shimmered Strangely and he merely stood, chuckling a little to himself.

With a surge of her brilliant wings, Lilah soars forward and hovers over the body of the fallen Death Titan beside the Lich. In a single elegant motion, she draws a small cylinder from where it hangs at her side and spins it around as it ignites into a beam of light. "Thou hath forsaken life for nought but torment, poor soul." Then she strikes out with the blade of light.
[Attack 1: 5 + 17 + 5 = 27]
[Damage: 26 + 3 + 5 = 34]
Cedric presses on, his eyes alight with hatred, striking out with mighty blows at the foul perversion of a noble beast. However... He then hears a familiar voice carried on the wind and he falters, his first swing going wide and mixed emotions flashing across his face. He recovers nicely, landing a solid blow on the fiendish beast but then that voices echoes tauntingly once more and Cedric misses his blow...fumbling as he attempts to correct his error.
[Attack 1: 1+...]
[Confirm: 12 + 22 + 1 + 5 = 40]
Not Failure
[Attack Haste: 13 + 22 + 1 + 5 = 41]
[Damage: 6 + 18 + 11 + 5 + 1 [Elec] + 2 [Sonic] = 40 + 1 [Elec] + 2 [Sonic]
[Attack 2: 1+...]
[Confirm: 6 + 17 + 1 + 5 = 29]
Maybe Failure?
If Cedric manages to recover from his terrible misfortune, he urges his steed to battle and fails miserably.
[Ride: 1...+ 10 = FC does not attack.]
[Thank Wizards for skills not being critical-able failable.]
Regardless of the outcome, if Cedric is conscious at the end of the round. The Paladin glances back over his shoulder with a heavy frown, then turns his attention back to the wounded soldier before him, his eyes widening with desperation, "Fall back!"

"By the Gods!" she shrieked in frustration, turning her attention from lich. Fighting to maintain her calm, she released another spell through the wand toward the closest group, encircling them in an flash of ice rushing forward on an icy gale.
((Freeze 3 cast, enpowered. Damage 1d8+1 per level, max 10d8+10

"Damn it." Kethra notes that her attacks are not doing much of anything against the lich, Moritae. She also sees the demons and devils arrive, and makes her decision. She tumbles away from the lich, and comes to a stop before the Bebilith. She hits it as hard as she is able.
[Tumble: 11 + 16 = 27. Passed.

That doesn't include any resistance that it probably has]
"What the-!?"
Damas gasps as the demons and devils appear. Many of them had a resistance to magic, and he often found it hard to bypass. However, he would not stand idle and let the beasts kill anyone. Damas weaves symbols in the air with his hands, and speaks words of power. Icy shards and cold, fierce winds surround the two closest demons/devils.
[Damas casts Freeze 3 (Greater Freeze). Targets are the Bebilith, and the giant Blue demon/devil.

"So very sorry Merkass! I can't have you piercing my fabulous body!" "SILENCE FIEND!" Amelios blinked, and squinted, chuckling to himself as he saw Sulia. He began to shake, laughing hard, hands clutching his sides. "Hahaha! Hello dear! How are you doing? Fine day to slaughter everyone eh?"
"What have you done!? Can you see your own folly?"
"Pardon?"
Sulia frowned, shaking her head, leaving her husbnad cackling as she turned her attention to the demons, calling down divine flame.
((Flamestrike on the four uglies nearest the group. 40 damage. 20 fire and 20 divine.))

Cursing his luck, Zook brings ADAM for a landing in the middle of the crash site, and begins to unstrap himself so he can leave the armor and reload. "Have to remember to fix that..." he muttered. ((A 4x move, possible with Zook's Build Vehicles feat, should let him land just north of Ashathel's position on the most recent map.))

((Full move east, unless it takes me within melee of the enemy. I'm not completely sure where I'd end up with a full move, given I'm in hills soon. Also the following checks passed - Marine witnessed 'em in chat. Natural 20 on the Spellcraft and everything.))
*Faralon advances as he sees Merkass's arrow hit thin air. Realizing what must be there, he calls out to his allies - mostly Merkass and Zook.*
: "There's a Wall of Force there! Quick, move around and see if you can't get a shot from a different angle."

((Note: this action comes after Ash's, since Arc rolled a double upgraded crit. So I think it's safe to assume he killed the Chaos Dragon.)) "Mark my words Amelios... You'll regret those words you've spoken and the choses you've taken." The Champion was snarling viciously towards the kyantol. Spitting in disgust of what their former healer had turned into.
Laika then quickly looks around the battlefield, figuring our how to best take down the asorted devils and demons quickly. The werewolf then darts forewards at the Glabezru.

((As was stated, this is before Laika's attack.)) "Amelios, you're really trying my patience now," Ashathel said. "Like this dragon. Do you remember what I do to guys who try my patience?" And without hesitation, the elven bladesinger lashed out with the force blade. The first strike lopped a wing off, keeping the creature ground-bound; the next was a savage thrust into the forehead, leaving a gash which only widened as he dragged the blade downwards into it's belly and through the bottom. Then, adding further insult to injury, he took off the other wing before the scaled beast's corpse hit the ground.
"Don't test me, Amelios. Quit this charade now, while you can."

Amelios smiled. And tilted his head, continuing to chuckle insanely, it was as if nothing remained of the Gentle cleric they had travelled with. The Lord of the Twisted Web obviously did his work well. "Charade? Nay, You are the one's living the charade. You think me...evil? And you are good? How foolish. The only reason you all are defined as good is because many years ago people fought and established the rules you abide by now. Good is the word used by those afraid of the glorious changes to come, and they then lable us as evil...alas. You poor, poor hypocrites."

Castor gets up from his nice, comfy rock bed, shaking his head gruffly as reminded himself that ice was slippery and possibly not the best surface to charge across.

Merkass' arrows impact against a magical wall of force as Cedric's hammer slams against the Devil Griffin, injuring it grievously and crushing a wing. The sniper nods to Cedric and backs away, firing as he goes. The first shot goes through the beast, the second explodes the Griffin's head.
((Hit, Upgraded Critical on a maximum damage roll. Devil Griffin is dead.))
The massive ape-like demon struck by Isyndel's spell seems unaffected by the magic, the other demons out of the spell's radius except for the Bebilith, whom ice forms over most of. This ice shatters off along with much of the demon's carapace as Kethra flips over and gives it a solid, supernaturally powerful punch to the torso.
((SR check failed,passed. Save failed.))
Damas' spell slams into the two same demons moments before Kethra reaches them, ice slamming into the apelike demon and coating the Bebilith once more. The Nalfeshnee hardly seems fazed, but the Bebilith appears to be on its last legs...
((SR passed. Save passed, failed.))
Sulia's Flamestrike burns away the Bebilith with a shrill shriek, barely touches the apelike demon, and strikes the Retriever dead on.
Faralon takes cover behind the monstrous corpse of the Death Titan as Laika charges the Glabrezu, taking a nasty pincer chop to the side as he gets within range. To add insult to injury, Laika's claw strike rakes off an invisible shield around the demon.
((AoO: Hit! 19 damage to Laika.))
Van, Lilah, and Gabriel tear into the Lich some more, magical energy flowing off him as he is forced to put more and more effort into his shield. Finally Gabriel pins the undead mage after a series of truly spectacular attacks.
"Bother... This simply will not do... I'm retreating. Sorry Amelios, you're on your own on this one!" Moritae calls out before speaking an odd word. "Varimathras."
Instantly the lich is gone from sight and a rain of cold hits the group.
((Contingencied Freeze 2. Van, Lilah, Kyoji, Castor, and Gabriel, take 31 cold damage. Ref save DC 20 for half. Kyoji fails the save with a nat 1.))
To the North, the final Drowned Eye fires his chaingun to no effect, then is shredded by the return fire of two of the grunts, and finally burned to ash by one of the flamethrower soldiers.
The turret on the last tank glows before sending a bluish white beam of light searing into the Marilith present, searing her flesh badly. The energy beam then splinters into many smaller beams, bombarding the area around the demoness, and striking the Gelugon for lesser damage.
One of the line troopers fires at the rightmost Cornugon, scoring a burst to the chest directly over the heart. Only the creature's demonic constitution allows it to stave off the burst.
: "Baaah! Focus fire on their leaders, normal tactics won't work here! Are you listening to me?? Come on, show 'em that mortal ingenuity triumphs over demonic arrogance every time!" the officer yells as he continues to direct his men. "Hit that damn Marilith, they're the tacticians!"
One of the armored figures fires off a barrage of energy bolts at the Marilith, but most dissipate as they strike an invisible shield around the demonic tactician. A singly one gets through, wounding her considerably in the side.
A sniper's bullet blows through the Glabrezu, a precise shot hurting the demon greatly.
((Critical Hit!))
A hail of gunfire tears through the same Cornugon before, leaving the demon a shadow of its former self. The devil responds in tandem with its counterpart, sending twin fireballs crashing into the allied ranks, near the tank. The two infantry are able to dodge swiftly, reducing the damage they take and living, however burned, but the tank takes the fire full blast, smoke pouring from some of the machine's panels and electricity dancing around it.
The Retriever moves forward and shoots an eye beam at the tank, the electrical beam being the last straw for the machine. Parts of it explode outward and it leans to the side, obviously inoperational.
The Glabrezu tears into Laika with its pincers, crushing and slicing deep cuts into the wolfman.
((Hit, Hit, Miss, Miss, Miss. 36 damage to Laika... I think he might be KO'd by now.))
The apelike demon begins to rise into the air, chuckling darkly as rainbow colored beams of light begin to surround it.
The snakelike Marilith immediately slithers at lightning speed towards Ashathel, striking at the elf with its massive coils However, the elf manages to slip from the snaky grasp of the demon's lower half.
((Hit. 26 damage to Ashathel.))
The Gelugon dashes forward, casting a deadly variant on the Freeze spell... the Cone of Cold. The last two linetroopers are caught in the freezing winds and collapse, their bodies frozen over. The armored figure and other soldier are hit full force, but don't succumb to the spell.
: "Marine down! There's... There's too many of them!"
Next turn!

Amelios continued to chortle, moving a little to the north, The Cleric laughed, shouting to Cedric. "See what happens to those who oppose us! Ohohoho!" He pointed at the paladin and aimed, an inky black beam of Darkness striking the stalwart paladin, Amelios chuckling all the while, obvious by now how insane he was.
((20. Hit.
30 Damage. Ref 22 for half.))

Castor grunts in frustration at the lich's parting gift, the eruption of cold biting into his lungs and frosting his hide. The fact the lich actually made it away this time merely threw salt on his wounds. Growling in agitation, Castor's eyes darted around the field, scanning opponent and opponent until he came to a worthy one; the four armed snake woman. He then bolted off towards his adversary, grinning at the thought of combat against someone who could actually fight.

Damas begins to weave arcane symbols in the air with his hand, and speaks words of power to trigger the same spell that he has used just moments ago. The way he centers it, he catches the Nalfeshnee, the Retriever, and the Cornugon in the blast of frigid winds and ice shards.

Kethra takes notice Amelios as he sends dark energy Cedric's way, and she makes up her mind. Amelios was once her friend, but now he had become evil and corrupted. Kethra moves towards him and lashes out with a punch that misses.

Lilah staggers under the bitter blizzard, her wings buffeted and torn. Then...to her horror... The wolfman is assaulted on all sides. As he falls, the color drains from her face leaving it ashen white. "Lai... Laika...." She stares at the tattered body dully, her grasp on the saber loosening while she slowly sinks to the ground, "No..."

Moving forward as far as her legs would carry her, Isyndel unleashed one of her few remaining magics that could even strike from her position. More than feeling the drain of her spell usage now, she discharged a strike of lightning at the foes not far from her and Damas. She glanced briefly over her shoulders at him just afterwards.

Cedric lets out a gasp as the dark energy blast strikes him. Then he turns to the dark cleric, once a friend and now an enemy, his eyes narrowing with hatred...yet still possessing a glimmer of sorrow. He urges his mount about, breaking into a trot towards his former ally.
[Heal: 13 + 4 = 17]
As he moves forward, his gauntlet's tightening around his hammer, he glances down at the torn and battered body of Laika. His eyes widen and he comes to a stop. The body is covered with vicious wounds, but...somehow...it continues to breathe lightly, a fearsome scowl locked on its face. Cedric slides off his mount opening himself up to attack. Regardless of the damage he receives, the Paladin reaches down and touches the would be corpse.
[Lay on Hands: 30+ HP Laika]
His eyes soften as the wolfman comes back from the brink of death and he looks up at Amelios.
Fortune Cookie stands for a moment, then lashes out at the nearby fiend with a hind leg, only to miss.
Lilah frowns as Cedric reaches down to Laika, then understanding coming into her eyes, holds her forth her wand and seals her wound before starting forward towards the down barbarian.

Gabe also charged towards Amelios, hell bent on ripping the cleric to shreds... Until he also slammed into the wall of force, hard. "Guess we'll dance after all, miss," Ashathel said, bowing slightly before he lashed out. Missing with only one blow, his other two strikes were on target.

Faralon's orb of sound slams into the Cornugon and shakes it mercilessly as Isyndel's Bolt spell crashes into the Gelugon, but doesn't seem to affect any of the other monsters. The two Cornugons unleash two lightning bolts on one of the other side's units, damaging the lumbering metal thing extensively. Then Merkass cuts one of the offending Cornugons down with a hail of arrows. The other is slain by a barrage of automatic fire from both of the larger armored figures. The other armored ones stop to reload, their weapons having run dry.
The Gelugon advances, blowing a stream of icy cold as he does so. One of the troopers stiffens and falls to this latest onslaught, but the armored soldier stands his ground, aided as one of the flamethrowers runs up.
The Glabrezu lunges at the flamethrower soldier, crushing the heavy armor between supernatural pincers, but leaving the soldier alive for now. The soldier fires his weapons at the demon, coating him in bluish fire, but the Marilith blocks him and slashes at him with her many swords. The heavy armor prevents most of the sword strikes from doing damage, but a lucky few manage to sever exposed wires on the mechanized suit.
The Marilith then lashes out at Ashathel with her tail, but misses the illusion-cloaked warrior, only to follow up with more sword strokes that wound Ashathel and Cedric further.
((Miss, Miss, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit, Critical Hit! 38 damage to Ashathel, 30 damage to Cedric.))

[After Ash slaughters the multiple armed menance...] Sir Cedric Theodoric, Holy Knight of the Hammer, stares with eyes filled with spite at the creature who had attempted to kill his father. Once a trusted companion and friend, Amelios Adelhyde had betrayed not only his allies but everything he had once held sacred in order to serve the Lord of the Twisted Web, the Archfiend Shailtor. The eyes of the Paladin narrowed, fierce intent burning in them, while his hand tightened around his hammer. Despite the heavy armor he bears, the Holy Knight moves forward cumbrously towards the Kyantol. He strides faster than a human should be able to, his eyes locked on the dark servant of Strife. He raises his hammer...

Then abruptly, he suddenly leaps forward at the Kyantol, grabbing at the arms of the former cleric and attempting to wrestle him to the ground.

"Alright... enough games," Ashathel said, his movements fluid as the Force Blade cut through the air. "We've got to take care of Amelios, and there's no way I'm letting you stop me." Punctuating this point, he unleashed a flurry of strikes which could easily put a lesser creature down in an instant.

Oblivious still to the reappearance of the traitor and the fall and rise of an ally, Zook's consciousness is focused through his machine, the mechanical extremities an extension of his reach and his will. The tinker sees soldiers ravaged by the ice devil, and instinctively raises his rifle like an accusatory finger against it. The Gelugon's eyes widen in shock, and then narrow in hate as fear reaches up from inside Zook and grasps his heart, startling him almost to the point of losing his focus. Almost.
Two presses of the trigger in quick sucession and two bolts of energy streak from the machinist to the abomination. The first bolt strikes the creature directly in its upturned, hateful face, the only sound a muffled sizzling easily drowned out in the din of battle. The beast begins to fall, even then, while the second blast traces its course in the air and strikes the devil, the gnome ensuring its death before gravity could ensure its fall.
Zook's focus breaks as he looks past the downed devil to the ailing soldiers.
"What's your status?" he calls in Ancient, hoping they understand.
((Fire two shots at the Gelugon. Crit, hit. 96 damage total. Save vs free action fear aura passed. Gelugon is down))

((This is fun. And don't worry all. Despite the blatant OOCness of various things...Amelios ain't getting shanked today.)) Amelios laughed as he nimbly avoided Cedric's attack, cursing as the The paladin Grabbed him. He struggled, eyes flaring all the while as he struggled against Cedric, and then snarled at him, eyes narrowed.
"As much as I would usually enjoy your warm arms...Oh well. This is goodbye for now Cedric. Unless you want to come with me to HQ? Hahahaha! Obadai! Retreat now! We can't win this! I bid you Adieu my friends! Lym!"
And as that word was Proclaimed the foul cleric vanished.
((Word of Recall. Voice only needed. Con check: 16+10 = Pass. Sorry all. Amelios gets away to play for another day.))

*Merkass blazes forward over the mountainous, rocky terrain. He makes leaping motions, bobbing and weaving around obstacles with grace learned from his early years in the catfolk village. He had a feeling he had not felt in a long time: that of a true hunt. Running down onto the sands, Merkass kept low to the ground. The magical enhancement to speed allowed him to move with such haste that the world around him seemed slowed. Merkass finds a position ahead of Castor and raises his bow once more. He fires another silver, holy arrow at the many-armed snake demon and hopes to catch the larger, more menacing one behind it.*
((Move 5' above Castor to the right of the fire. The cat has an 85' movement speed, so he should have movement to spare beyond that.

Kethra moves to confront the fallen Priest when she slams into the wall of force, hard. She grunts in pain and nearly falls, but manages to keep herself steady. Taking heed to Faralon's advice, she tries to find her way around the wall. Kethra does see Amelios escape, and her eyes narrow.
[Kethra tries to get around the wall, and moves as far as 60' will carry her. Towards what enemies are still left standing. Since I'm pretty sure that it's a standard action, she'll use Wholeness of Body to heal herself. She uses 11 out 22 for the day.]
Damas looks around, his choice for targets now becoming smaller as time passes. He moves as far forward as he is able to on this rough terrain. Damas weaves symbols in the air with his hands, and speaks words of power. He stretches his left arm out in the direction on the Glabrezu, and five blue energy missiles dart forth from his fingertips. They strike dead on, but wether or not they had any affect or not, he probably couldn't tell from this distance.
[Damas moves forward as far as he can; probably 5 or 10 ft. and casts Magic Missile on the Glabrezu. The spell's range at his level is 210 ft. so I'm sure it's not out of range.
Damage: (5d4+5) 3 2 4 2 4 + 5 = 20

Laika was about to charge after Amelios with Cedric, but unfourtunately the cowardly Kyantol had vanished. As a result, the werewolf decided against charging in just yet, and created a small protective barrier around himself. ((Gloves no longer on fire, cast Protection from Evil.))

Posted by: TheUnknownMarine Sat Sep 23, 2006 7:44 pm
Ashathel lays into the Marilith, his blade slicing off hunks of demonic flesh with ease. At the end of his assault, the demoness coughs up blood and stares hatefully at the swordsman, uttering a single word. "Sleia." The demoness vanishes in an instant, leaving nothing behind but a large quantity of blood and severed bits.
"Cowards! Damned cowards!" the Glabrezu bellows as he presses the attack despite the odds. Merkass' arrow bursts through him and spells rain down on him, but still he presses forward. When Cedric breaks away to attack Amelios, the great demon lashes out at him with a pincer, shearing away some of the paladin's armor.
((AoO: Hit! 20 damage to Cedric.))
Merkass detects more evil entering the area with his sensitive snout, but he can't locate the exact source of it just yet.
"What?" the soldiers ask Zook, unable to understand.
"I won't go easily or quietly!" the Glabrezu roars as his unholy sight fixes on the flamethrower in front of him. With a battlecry of rage and anger, the demon lashes out at the large fuel tanks on the soldier's back, tearing and rending at them until the vessels rupture and explode, coating the entire area in bluish fire. The soldier screams in pain and doesn't stop screaming as he jumps around, a silhouette among the fire. Finally with a pained gasp he collapses. The great demon laughs as the flames consume him whole, turning his beaten body to ash. And the flames engulf Ashathel and Laika too...
((42 fire damage to Ashathel and Laika. Ref save DC 18 for half damage. Ref save DC 20 to avoid catching fire.))
With a pained scream the sniper to the south is ripped apart by an invisible force even as a fireball erupts in the midst of the stranger's group.
Next turn! ((Soldiers' actions delayed because I have to leave.))

Posted by: VoxPVoxD Sun Sep 24, 2006 2:13 am
Zook fires a shot into the Glabrezu even as he flies toward the soldiers, shouting over the battle once more. "Your status!" he calls in Common, this time. ((Move closer to the soldiers but keep out of the fire. Shoot Glabrezu. Hit, 25 damage))

[Last Round] Lilah rests her hands on the invisible wall before her, glancing around with a frown, then flys up along the wall. [This Round] Lilah flies over the wall and lands at the side of Laika, using her wand to further heal the wounds of the wolfman.
[CMW: 2 + 5 + 5 = +12 HP Laika]
Cedric takes in a deep breath, staring at the empty before him darkly, then he stands and glances back at the others, "Faralon! Make contact with our allies! Lilah, return to the wagon and escort them to our position."
The Lillend nod with some annoyance, "I shall do so in a moment..."
Cedric gestures to Fortune Cookie who trots to his side, "Clear out the remaining the enemy in this area, then we move around the south taking out the fiends as we go!" He pulls himself onto his mount and moves towards the south. His eyes examine the enemy lines to the south.

Zook fires his gun into the pile of ash that was the Glabrezu, but not much happens what with it being already dead and all.

*Merkass frantically scans the battlefield, ready to pounce at the next evil creature to approach. While it seems that no enemies remain, Merkass still feels anxious. He regards the air with demure, the scent of evil lingering about, but not dissipating. A force of great evil is about. The scout closes his eyes for a few seconds, imagining the path of the scent coming from to his nostrils. He traces it back to the direction of the recently reaved sniper. Uncomfortable spending any more time in contemplation at the moment, Merkass yells out to the rest of the group.*
: Be careful! No more may be visible, but something major is around where the sniper had been!
*Merkass takes to a slightly crouched position, ready to spring away in the wake of any danger.*
((Move Action: Focus on scent.
Remaining: Defensive.))
Aurik moves quickly up the field of battle regrouping with the others. Merkass' warning leads Aurik to begin to cast an invisibility purging spell, but he then realizes his place is as a healer first, and then a mage. Aurik opens his arms wide, and Kethra and the surrounding area seem more vibrant. Wounds close and energy is returned to the fatigued warriors. Immediately after, Aurik nods, and Gabe feels a slight increase in his stamina as well.
((Move 60' on the diagonal NE, then 5' E.

*Rhizor also flies toward the group, saying strange things like "OMG A/S/L!?!?!?" and claiming that the invading demons were a bunch of "IMMAGRANTS." Suddenly, as Rhizor gets closer, a large, monolithic creature of immense proportion erupts from the sands. From the debris covering it, it seems like a large boulder, and may either be made out of sand or is simply covered in it. Astute viewers notice its similarity to the creature summoned in the cult temple, but this one seems more ancient and mountainous.
((Rhizor uses enough retro actions to get close to everyone but not too close. He then casts Summon Nature's Ally VI combined with Rashemi Elemental Summoning (feat) to conjure a Huge Thomil Earth Elemental. It appears to Zook's (ADAM's) left))

: "Be alert, I'm fairly certain that it is Moritae that is still here!" *Faralon hurries over to the allies, waving his arms.* : "I know now is not the best time for introductions as this battle is not yet over, but we're knights of Cypress. We have fought this enemy before and we'll no doubt be victorious soon again. You've fought bravely, but I see you've taken some heavy hits so far. Let me see what I can do."
*Faralon looks at the soldier in red, approaching him and casting a powerful healing spell on him.*
((Cure Critical Wounds!
6 + 7 + 3 + 6 + 11 = 33))
: "Does anyone else need to be healed?"

Sulia frowns, casting True Seeing on herself as she scans the battlefield, shaking her head and mumbling at Cowardly tactics. She blinks, and then gasps, pointing with her mace. "A PIT FIEND!" And with this Proclaimation Sulia moves up next to Van, her mace indicating it was in the area next to the Big brown robot.

Posted by: Dark Maiden Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:12 pm
Kethra brings forth the orb entrusted to her and attempts to dispel the invisibility surrounding the devil. [Kethra centers the effect where Sulia pointed to. I'm not sure how this works, so someone else can work out the little details. I'm sick right now. ]

Heaving a heavy sigh, Isyndel began casting her eyes about her warily. The weight of her continous casting wearing at her. It was more than frustrating to hear another enemy was present. Unable to do much more, she cast a simple cantrip upon herself, waiting for their next foe to appear.
((Resistance cast on the defensive.))

Rhizor swiftly finds out that he can't stock actions or affect the flow of time, and thus can only move this turn, uncertain what strange thing a "retro action" is. "We're alive, but shot up, who are you people? The nearest settlement's miles away!" the officer shouts back to Zook.
"We're on a mission of our own," Zook calls. "What shot you down?"
"There's a base far to the northwest of here... Let's just say its defenses weren't as dead as a millenia of dormancy should've made them," the officer says.
Aurik moves as far as he can while casting.
((Rules Clarification: After much thought I'm not counting diagonal moves as normal moves anymore... While it does make things easier to calculate, it's also odd, and due to the sheer amount of extra movement you can get from it, I'm changing it back to standard now. Standard is alternating between each diagonal square counting as 5 and 10'.))
"Thanks for the healing, doc," the armored trooper says. "It's appreciated."
Van charges the Pit Fiend, but doesn't do any damage, his strike rebounding off iron-hard scales. Shortly thereafter an aura of icy-cold fear surrounds the Fiend. Van and Zook find themselves overcome with terror and must flee as soon as they can.
((AoO in advance: Hit on Van. 15 damage.))
The Pit Fiend bellows a challenge and tears the robot near it apart, sparks flying everywhere.
: "Damn it! That's all we need, a Pit Fiend! We're running out of anti-demon rounds... ****!"
: "Sir! I've got a loose comm report! The last shuttle is away, but the ground forces around the shuttle's losses have exceeded sixty five percent, not counting what we lost in the crash! There's a general retreat being sounded!"
: "Retreat? To where? There's nowhere to retreat to!!! Demons all over this area, and no civilization for miles! S***!"
The officer frowns before pointing towards the last sniper and flamethrower.
: "Watley! Get out of here! Try to rejoin one of the other units if you can, lie low if you can't! Take our mission log and bug out! You're the only one that can make it for sure with your suit, now get going! Belfaust! You retreat too, fire isn't any good here, not against these... Move out! NOW!" the officer barks. The two uncertainly salute and then begin running towards the mountain even as their comrades open fire. A hail of energy bolts and gunfire rips through the greater devil, but it stands its ground, grinning evilly despite more than a few horrible wounds on its body. Suddenly from where the roar of gunfire sounded from the red armored soldier, only a clicking is heard...
"Oh, son of a... I'm out! I'm out of ammo!" the soldier says as he slings his massive weapon and draws a small handgun, backing up.

Avoiding the flames next to him, Laika moves towards the bladesinger. "Ashathael, hold out your weapon for a moment." As the elf does so, Laika touches the hilt, letting the power of the almighty VOLTRON! go through it. "Take that thing down." The werwolf says encouragingly with a nod.

Damas frowns slightly at the mention of a Pit Fiend. Those bloody Devils were tough indeed, and the few spells that he does have that could hurt it would require him to get much closer. The illusion magic that cloaks him begins to flicker before disappearing all together, once again showing his true location. He brings forth a feather from his component pouch, and weaves symbols in the air as he speaks words of power. Damas looks over his shoulder at Isyndel but says nothing. After a moment or two, the Sorcerer takes flight.
[Damas casts Fly on himself, and moves 60 feet East, right out of the mountains. He's 30 feet above ground.
Displacement wears off.

Kethra narrows her eyes as the Pit Fiend appears before them. She had never been all that effective against stronger Devils such as these, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't try. She moves in on the Pit Fiend carefully, and strikes with a punch. The blow misses, much to her dismay.

((I forgot to have Kyoji go, and if I had, I wouldn't have had to make a map...)) Kyoji narrows his eyes at the Pit Fiend even as the icy fear aura surrounds him. The ninja breaks into a dash, vanishing from sight only to reappear behind the archdevil, jamming his dagger into a vulnerable spot. The devil roars in pain even as Kyoji uses the dagger as a handhold and flips onto the monster's back, driving the Doom Blade into the beast's spine and causing the creature to dissolve into ash and brimstone.

Damas frowns slightly when the Devil falls, a little disappointed that he didn't get the chance to get a hit in. However, now that the Devil is dead, it could not harm anyone else, at that outweighs the Sorcerer's slight disappointment.
"Good...it seems everyone is more or less alright." There is a slight pause in Damas' speech. "I wonder if we should go after those soldiers..."
Damas lands beside Isyndel, and in an odd turn, the Sorcerer remains almost eerily silent.

Isyndel exhaled a sharp breath as what could loosely be described as calm draped over the battlefield. She found herself amazed at their lack of loss against what seemed completely overwhelming odds and took some measure of satisfaction in both her survival and their victory. A sick feeling in her stomach quickly overtook it at her memories of Amelios returned. She bit the inside of her lip, the contradiction of what was and what is almost too much to bear in her mind, a feeling she still hoped to forget. Damas returned then.
She straightened herself, suddenly feeling very exposed despite the covers of her thoughts wrapped about her. Then calmness set inside her as well; a feeling unexpected, causing her to nearly slide into a casual smile. The corners of her lips ever-so-slightly raised as she spoke to him.
"If only I had prepared magic to get myself down this wretched hill," she spoke, starting to walk towards the edge slowly before sitting upon the edge and gently lowering herself to the next open footing. "You should have continued your flight; far easier than doing this the long way," Isyndel finished, almost sounding as if she were making idle chatter.

Zook throws two grenades at the Behemoth. One lands inside an exhaust pipes and rolls towards some very sensitive circuitry before exploding in a massive burst of electromagnetic energy. The other hits normally. Despite the massive damage inflicted, the massive machine still functions normally. Zook, not having a lick of sense, decides staying and fighting is totally a good idea.
((Hit, hit. 103 damage between an upgraded crit and a regular hit. Behemoth unfazed, Zook rolls a nat 1 on his "common sense[totally outmatched]" check.))
A stream of cannon fire from the machine's "chin" blasts apart the remaining soldier, and it turns to the flying gnome, firing on him as well.
((60 damage to Zook. Force field down, ADAM at 50/70))

Zook manages to inflict more damage upon the massive Behemoth, but the machine's counterattack blasts right through first the armor, then the body of the poor tinker. ((Hit, Hit. 80 damage to ADAM. ADAM immobilized. 64 damage to Zook, massive damage save passed.))
Bloodied and beaten, the gnome scurries out of his vehicle and hides as best he can behind it...
Minutes later, Cedric and the main group come upon the broken remains of ADAM and a large number of troops. A series of mechanical tracks leads from the area further on, towards sounds of battle that have recently been restarted...

Posted by: Kaihaku Fri Sep 29, 2006 11:09 pm
Cedric hesitates for only an instant, glancing around the ruins, "Zook!" His eyes are alight with concern and torment. Zook waves weakly at his commander, and smiles, white teeth stained with red. "Hello," he says. "I tried to help them, but the machine... it's a Behemoth class, like what killed Dava." At length the gnome struggles to his feet, and straining, pulls his rifle from out of ADAM's cargo container. "We pressing on, sir?"
The resolve of the Paladin wavers for a moment, then he looks forward, "What do you suggest?"
"Its defenses are massive. I unloaded into it and did maybe a tenth of the damage it can take. Its weapons bit through ADAM's armor like it wasn't there. But it's alone. If all of us concentrate our efforts on it, we should be able to win." The gnome's battered face darkens. "I don't know if we could all make it out, though."
Cedric glances after the monster, then nods grimly, "We'll have to face it someday." His eyes narrow with hatred, "Might as well be now. What tactics should we pursue?"
Zook frowns and scratches his chin, utterly lost in thought despite himself. "It's very very heavily plated, so physical attacks would have to be immensely powerful to work. I believe this class of robot has heavy insulative subplating, which means fire won't help much either. It's a machine, so lightning's always the best option. Not particularly corrosion resistant, so acid would be of use. And not much of anything mechanical can stand up to sonic energy." The gnome sighs. "Though our magical reserves are severely spent, I'd imagine." Zook's ears twitch. "They all here?"
"We all made it." Cedric replies, "But I sent Lilah back to the wagon." His eyes narrow, the rest of the group beginning to catch up with him, "We must succeed in this assault. Gather your squad." A grim smile crosses his face, "When this is over, we'll build ADAM anew with the parts of its slayer." He pauses, glancing at the torn and battered bodies, "Will any of these weapons aid us in defeating the beast?"
Zook looks about and begins picking around. "Let me see..." Zook returns a moment later with an armful of odd-looking guns. "It'll take me a bit to figure out what they do. Maybe if the rest of you skip ahead and I'll catch up?"
"Instruct Merkass in the use of these weapons." He turns back to the behemoth, "The rest of us will continue on..." His voice lowers, "Make what haste you can."
...
As Lilah nears the wagon, she is temporarily blinded as a great flash emits from the area, then an immense light begins shining. The light grows until it coalesces intoa great pillar that washes over the area and the mountain. When it rushes over Lilah, she feels a dizzying amalgam of emotions from fear, to anger, to sorrow, to hope. Then the light fades and all is normal again.
The Lillend shelters her eyes with one hand, while she reaches into her pouch and withdraws a single flash with the other. With a mighty flap of her wings, she rushes forward towards the wagon. She glances around but her normally sharp senses are deadened from the brilliant light.
She continues on, unable to make anything out, and lands beside the wagon.
She hears sobbing from inside the wagon, and there's blood dripping down the wagon steps.
Lilah opens the door and glances into the wagon fearfully, holding the flask at the ready while her other hand rests on the cylinder device.
The still body of Ryhir, swords at the ready, lays in the center of the wagon. A pair of vicious sword wounds have exposed his innards and blood leaks from them.
Simone is in the corner, head resting against her knees, crying and shaking. Yeesha stands near her, looking around the wagon and clutching a large wound in her side. Blood stains her robes.
There's a pile of dust with a ring and a necklace near Ryhir's body.
The Lillend takes in a deep breath, the glances back over her shoulder warily. Turning back, she weaves magic in the air and her tail slides toward touching Yeesha lightly.
[CLW: 6 + 5 = 11]
Her eyes are filled with sorrow as she glances at Simone, her singsong voice whispering softly, "I'm sorry..."
"It was that damn ghost again... Came out of nowhere a few minutes after you left. Sliced me up nice then vanished before we could counterattack. I put up my shield, began to get my spells ready... Then it came out of nowhere again! The... The dastard killed Ryhir!" Yeesha says, pointing to the body. "Then Simone... she..."
"Ghost?" Lilah queries, her face troubled.
"I... I don't know..." Simone says, quietly. "I... I saw him fall, saw the blood... and I screamed..."
"Next thing we know, light everywhere, streams of energy, wave of brilliance..." Yeesha shakes her head. "The ghost turned to dust... I've never seen anything like it."
Lilah nods, a perplexed and troubled frown on her face, then softly slides into the wagon, resting a hand gently on Simone, "Be calm... Now is not the time to mourn, we need to move." She glances back into the desert, "They may send more after us."
He pauses, glancing at the torn and battered bodies, "Will any of these weapons aid us in defeating the beast?"
Lilah sighs, her eyes distant, "A group of soldiers were under assault by the fiends. We encountered a Lich who seemed familiar with the group and...the husband of Sulia was there." She frowns slightly, "Both escaped."
"Damn... But where are they?" Yeesha asks.
She looks down, "We managed to drive away the first line of fiends." She frowns slightly, "Sir Cedric, with the first line of enemy repulsed, sent me to watch over you while the force continued on into the fiendish army. Last I saw they were circling the battlefield in an attempt to drive them away."
"How long will they be away?" Yeesha asks.
The lillend frowns, "I have no idea..." Her face is concerned, "The enemy is strong, including a construct of great size and strength." She looks down, "Were you thinking of a sheltering spell of some sort?"
"I was thinking something like an illusion..." Yeesha says with a grimace. "If they're to be gone that long."
"But first things first... Help me get Ryhir's body out of here... The poor girl doesn't need anymore traumatization."
Lilah glances at Simone with a frown, then gently lifts Ryhir's shatter corpse with her powerful tail and slides it into the bag at her side.
"That's... creative..." Yeesha says with a wince.
Lilah looks at Yeesha with a confused frown, "I'm not accustom to death as you know it, where I come from this is a common means of preserving bodies until resurrection." She looks down sadly, "I suppose this would be until burial."
"Apologies, it was the sensible thing to do," Yeesha agrees.
The Lillend looks up suddenly, her eyes widening as she glances back out the door, "Where are the tinkers?"
"I ordered them to scout out the area around teh wagon, but to use maximum caution," Yeesha says with a nod. "I didn't want to be caught unawares after the attack."
Lilah pauses for a moment, arching an eyebrow, then shakes her head, "Are you saying you think we should wait here?"
"Well that WAS the plan. We can't exactly leave at a moment's notice, split as we are, and it sounds like trying to rejoin the main group is a bad idea."
The Lillend looks at Yeesha for a long moment, then nods quietly, "I shall...wait outside then..." She slips out of the wagon, then with a flap of her wings lands atop the wagon.

Kethra frowns slightly as Cedric leads them away, leaving those that are still in the mountains behind. It would take them a while to catch up, and thus they would mostly likely be exposed to danger on their way. On the other hand, they still had things to do, and they needed to get done as soon as possible. Kethra lets out a small sigh, and smiles to herself. All she could do was pray that they would make it safely.
Once they come upon the remains of ADAM, and Zook, bloody and beaten, hiding behind the nonfunctional machine, Kethra gasps. "Oh my goodness..." She listens intently as Cedric and Zook discuss tactics. Bringing down this machine would be no easy task, and there would also be much danger involved. However, the Monk nods, and remains silent.

Cedric leads the group forward, following the immense tracks left by the monster robot, and drawing them closer and closer to the side of the great metal vessel. Finally the group encounters the final obstacle to the ship itself... an immense dune of sand thrown up around the vessel by the force of the crash burrowing into the desert.
Climbing the dune, the group reaches the peak to behold the massive ship in front of them... and a massive robot in front of that.
The machine is huge, just shy of the Death Titan's height, but far wider. The four legged robot is covered in thick metal plating, and vaguely resembles an animal form, with four cannons mounted on its "head". A pair of missles jut from launchers in the "shoulders", and the rest of the body seems devoted to armor. The sheer size and power of the machine fills some small part of you with awe... but not enough to distract you from your mission.
The Behemoth turns and fires a pair of rockets into the dune below the heroes, causing the sandy structure to shake and collapse. The group is send tumbling down the sand dune as it destabilizes, rolling head over heel in some cases until at last they hit the ground and stop...
In front of the immense Behemoth.

[Just in case we did have time to cast buffs, here they are. If not, or if the amount is limited, let me know before this moves to the next round. Displacement: Faralon, Damas, Isyndel Mirror Image: Damas] Damas gasps as the sand structure beneath his feet crumbles, sending him tumbling down with the rest of the group. He groans in pain as he lands, and he stands up only to be practically in front of the Behemoth.
"Damn it..."
Damas moves as he is told to do. After all, being bunched up wasn't going to help matters. As soon as he has moved out of the way, at least somewhat, he brings forth a piece of amber, and some silver pins. He weaves arcane symbols in the air with his hands, and speaks words of power to fuel his spell. Lightning shoots forth from his fingertips to strike the hulking machine.

Merkass also takes an awesome leap of tumble-itude and takes a 10' step as a 5' step to get some extra skirmish damage.))

Grasping her tiny fingers tightly about her wand, the Wizardess swallowed hard, knowing full well how drained everyone must be from the previous encounter. At Faralon's urging she moved with him before releasing the magic of Bolt through the tip of the wand.
She found words failing her as she did so, unable to find anything constructive or insulting to say.
((Move with Faralon.

"Kethra, put that orb to use and hit that thing, or toss it to someone who will!" Ash yelled, before speaking quickly in elven. Launching two balls of sonic energy, he took off across the sand, adding "Melee attackers, focus on bringing down one leg at a time!"

"Ignore that order!" Sir Theodoric exclaims as he points his mighty hammer at the massive construct, his eyes narrowing, "Melee, divide yourselves among the front two legs! Spread out as best you can while still striking your target, survival is an objective." The Paladin glances back at Merkass, "Ranged, follow the excellent example of Merkass and target the weapons of that monster. Healers, your priority is keeping our melee line alive. Buff or heal, nothing else." Cedric then glances at Kethra, speaking in a quieter voice, "Ash is losing his cool, don't let that make you lose yours." He then urges his steed forward, coming up on the leg opposite of the others and lashes out mightily.

Kethra ignores Ash's orders, instead doing what Cedric had told her to do. She approaches the Behemoth as cautiously as she is able to while still getting close enough to hit it. Despite what Zook said about its armor, she slams her fist against the metal plating of the machine.
[Tumble: 8 + 16 = 24. Passed. Kethra moves 40' north, 10' west, for a total of 50', which is half my current speed (70' + 30' from Haste).

Posted by: TheUnknownMarine Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:09 pm
Electricity dances over the Behemoth as the various Bolt spells and EMP grenades hit home, causing the great machine to shudder and shake. Suddenly a great hole is blown in the machine as Merkass causes one of the shoulder launchers to detonate. The other launcher swiftly follows, twin rips in the machine's armor pouring smoke into the air.
((Explosions deal 33 and 34 damage respectively.))
Van runs forward and slashes, but his halberd fails to do anything against the thick metal plating of the machine. Laika's attack doesn't even hit a vulnerable spot, his claws raking uselessly against an armor plate.
As he nears the monstrous robot, the Behemoth lashes out with a leg at Gabriel, catching the half giant in the chest, painfully.
((AoO: Hit. 25 damage.))
Kyoji dashes towards the Behemoth, disappearing and striking out at the machine... but the machine moves so that Kyoji's strikes fail to land on the appropriate places. Because of this, the mighty Doom Blade fails to do anything.
"Beware, the machine isn't fooled by invisibility!" Kyoji calls out.
Castor doesn't move. He's a little worried about his future.
Kethra lashes out, electricity jolting the machine and causing sparks to fly.
Cedric's mighty blow doesn't even leave a dent in the Behemoth's armored plating, but the electricity and sonic boom from it cause sparks to dance on the metal.
The Behemoth turns and sends a stream of hyper-accelerated projectiles towards Merkass, then Ashathel. The pair find themselves riddled with piercing wounds.
((Hit, Hit. 52 and 44 damage to Merkass and Ashathel respectively.))
Next turn!

Posted by: VoxPVoxD Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:24 pm
Looking over the wand, Zook steps out from behind Castor, pointing it at a leg joint of the Behemoth and speaking a few broken words in the language of magic. The machinist's study pays off, it seems, as a bolt of electricity lances from the wand, crackling against the mech.

Laika lets out a howl of frustration and anger before leaping upwards to the leg joints of the giant hunk of metal. Hacking away as best he could. Trying to hit whatever he could up there. ((Laika is enraged for 8 rounds | HP = 110/140 (86/116) | AC = 28

She caught the wand with her free hand and shuffled the other wand into the hand as well. Resolute, she began casting the same spell as before, her breathing stabilized as the waves of panic steadily became under control. Moving her hands about her in a fluid pattern, she felt the magic come to life inside and around her. She looked deep within. Now was as good a time as any.
Isyndel felt the wall in her subconscious and thrust at it. Through her studies she found ways to prepare her magic in a different light, learning new ways to allow the innate forces of life inside of her to interact with the magic about the world. There were pieces inside of her, mental, physical, or otherwise that served as blockades; impositions in the flow of magic. With careful preparation they could be avoided or even used to alter the effects of spells.
She thrust at the wall again, nearing the completion of the Bolt spell's ritual.
Perhaps it was simply fatigue causing her judgment to falter, but this was the time. Certainly there was the wand to fall back on, she told herself, but what better time than now to try something new? Desperate, she made one final shove, shattering the block about her.
The lightning roared to life, crystalline bolts lashing into the mechanized creature before her, but even as she wanted to grin at her accomplishment she felt the effect drain from her. It was clear to her then that the strain of her action was nearly too much to bear. A shame, she thought, to have it work and be held from her further, but magic was a fickle thing and her body perhaps just as much so.

Cedric frowns as he finds the force of his blow worthless, his eyes narrowing he focuses his willpower and an aura of power surrounds him. [Power Surge] He then lashes out once more, "Keep it up!" He glances back at the group, "Spread out and stay cautious! Healers, keep on the wounded!" He turns his attention back to his massive foe, grinding his teeth. You're nothing compared to what I've faced.

Again, Cedric's blow does little save for the eletricity and sonic boom. Laika's attack seems to have only the slightest effect as Gabriel manages to carve large breaches in the machine's armor plating. The Behemoth creaks and shakes as the barrage of lighting impacts it. Shuddering, the monster turns its massive head towards first Kethra, then Damas, spitting out a hail of projectiles that rip through the pair.
((Hit, Hit. 88 damage to Kethra, 38 damage to Damas.))
Kyoji whirls into an aerial somersault, slashing his dual blades across the machine as he lands. Sparks fly from exposed vital areas on the machine.

Aurik runs to Merkass' side and heals him fully with a mighty spell.

Once he comes down he only half heartidly swipes at the leg. Pretty much garaunteeing that his attack will do nothing usefull.

Glaring at the wand given to her by Faralon, she took a few steps to find a clear path. Switching it to her right hand, she levelled it at the beast. No sense in changing a tactic that seemed to work, she noted, lashing out with a bolt of lightning.
((37 Electrical; REF for half.))

Kethra's expression turns blank for a moment as the projectiles tear through her body. The shock of this sudden, and powerful blow, outweighs the pain, so she lets out only a faint cry. Her training allows her body to shrug off a majority of the shock and not be slain outright, but nonetheless, she is still wounded. Kethra slumps to the ground.
[Fortitude Save: 16 + 10 = 26. Passed.
Kethra isn't dead! But she's at -2 ]
Damas lets out a brief cry of pain as the projectiles pierce through him, causing significant damage. While he isn't dead yet, he is still badly wounded. He falls back and pulls a potion from his pouch. Damas pulls the cork out and downs the contents of the bottle in one gulp. While he does feel better, he is still wounded to a degree.

Castor, reminded of his failure at protecting Dava at the sight of this monstrosity, freezes stock still.

The attacks slam into the Behemoth and Kyoji leaps up to land yet another blow on the vulnerable spot he hit earlier. Merkass fires a few arrows that do little against the monster.

Electricity and magic flare around the massive Behemoth as Castor slams into it and Kyoji scrapes uselessly off its heavy armor. A low rumbling can be heard as Isyndel's spell strikes the machine, small explosions detonating along the great machine's sides. Then Faralon's orb of sound strikes the head and the boxy protrubence shatters, exploding outward in a gout of flame and debris. Smoke billowing from the open neck, the robot pitches onto its side, motionless. The breach in the ship stands imposing behind it.

"I'll be right back." Damas walks towards Kethra despite the pain he still feels from his wounds. Once he is close enough to the Monk, he kneels down beside her and pulls a potion from his belt pouch. Damas pulls the cork out and administers the liquid to Kethra.
[Cure Moderate Wounds potion used. Kethra regains 13 hit points.]
Kethra starts to come around, stirring a bit at first before her eyes open. The first person she sees is Damas, as he is kneeling right beside her. Despite the great amount of pain she's in, Kethra stands up. "Thanks." Her gaze diverts towards the fallen machine, and her eyes go wide. "So, we did beat it." Kethra notices Damas' discomfort and she looks back to him. "You're hurt."
"It's nothing compared to the wounds some of the others have suffered. Don't worry about me." Damas smiles reassuringly.
"If you say so..." Kethra closes her eyes and focuses her ki to heal some of her wounds. Her wounds are still severe, but not as bad as they were. She goes about to check on everyone, and does what she can to help out.

Posted by: Arcdragnbreth Thu Oct 05, 2006 3:43 pm
"Looks like it's down," Ashathel said, deactivating the force blade before returning it to it's usual home before whispering to the paladin. "If it's all the same to you, Cedric, I'd like to take a couple people who've been patched up inside to check out the ship."
"Unless you've got a better idea, of course," he added, smiling lightly.

[Sense Motive: 15 + 19 = 34] The Paladin glances at Ashathel for a moment, then turns back to the ship, "Actually, I was going to send Wyvern under your command to rally the fleeing troops and retrieve the wagon." He frowns slightly, "I'm concerned for the safety of Lady Yeesha and Lady Simone." He turns back to the smoking wreck of the monstrosity, "I thought that Leviathan would form a perimeter here while Zook salvages what he can of our...opponent." He looks at Ashathel, "While your brother, myself, and Nemesis investigate this wreck... Unless you have a better suggestion?"
[Charisma Check: 19 + 5 = 24]
His eyes narrow and for just a moment a faint glow seems to surround him, his voice lowering, "In the future, I would appreciate it if you did not insult allies unless they deserve it. Kethra may hesitate but she has never been prone to inaction..." He glances at the mighty minotaur nearby, "...unlike some others."

"We're ready to move on your order, Cedric," Kyoji states plainly, cleaning his blades before sheathing them and putting a hand to his magical ring.

Posted by: Kaihaku Fri Oct 06, 2006 12:28 pm
Cedric waits a moment for Ashathel to respond, then as only silence ensues, turns back to the others, "I want Wyvern to escort the wagon to this point gathering the soldiers who fled while doing so." He glances at Ashathel, "See what you can find out about them." He then turns to Zook, "Leviathan will form a defensive perimeter here while Zook sees what he can salvage of that beast. Damas and Merkass will reinforce him." He then nods to Kyoji, "Kyoji, Faralon, Isyndel, and myself will explore this...wreckage." He pauses, glancing at Sulia and Aurik, "I want everyone completely healed as quickly as possible. The fiends may return." He then closes his eyes and whispers a quiet prayer, then opening them nods, "Get to work."
The Paladin leads the others through the massive crack in the wall.

Still holding the borrowed wand, Isyndel covered her ears as the mechanical creature sputtered into it's final moments, collapsing in a heap. She searched about the battlefield immediately to ensure to herself that everyone was okay. No one had passed on, or so it seemed at least. She sought the Sorceror at last, the strain of fatigue and fear giving way to a sudden, inexplicable urge to be near someone, and frowned as he made his way to Kethra instead.
Isyndel reached out for Sleet then, grasping onto the pulse inside her mind that connected the two. She was thankful when the cat responded and not the fool who shared it. Sleet made it's way in, paws bent in a crouch with her tail kept low to the ground, and quickly sought a corner of the area to keep amongst the shadows. A careful observer may have noted the feline or may have noticed it's bright yellow eyes keeping a careful vigil as the Wizardess made her way to Cedric with a nod.
She made a move as she stepped into the wreckage, pausing briefly to cock her head to the side and decided against it. Her lips pursed at the annoying twinge of jealousy that had struck and she managed to dismiss it almost as quickly. There would be time to reflect on what had caused that later; this was not the time.
And so she pressed on.

Posted by: Dark Maiden Sun Oct 08, 2006 7:35 pm
[Rusty can pretty it up later, but he told me that Faralon healed Kethra for 31. She's at 43/86 now.] Damas gets the sudden feeling that he should probably go and check on the other members of his squad, Isyndel in particular. As he begins to head back, however, Cedric begins to issue orders. He lets out a heavy sigh, but then shrugs his shoulders. These were orders, after all, and he wasn't about to ignore them. He passes a glance at Isyndel as she walks by with Cedric, Kyoji, and Faralon. After they have gone into the wreckage, he starts his way towards Zook, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Me...? Why did Cedric want me to stay here, I wonder?"
Damas continues to ponder for a little while, but still keeping an eye on Zook as his surroundings.
Kethra regards Ashathel cooly, but she does not say anything. As she is told, she helps the others form a defensive perimeter, so Zook can do his work. She also waits for healing.

Posted by: Rusty Sun Oct 08, 2006 10:10 pm
*Faralon first moves to heal Kethra. Saying no words, he gazes into her eyes holding her hand, concern clearly shown before he nods and lets go, moving to Cedric and the others.* ((31 HP healed. CSW used. I'd have RPed, but time's short and we're about to do the exploration.))

Posted by: Kaihaku Sun Oct 08, 2006 11:33 pm
Sputtering lights line the ceiling as you emerge from the hull breach into a long metal corridor. http://www.kaihaku.net/TUM/wreckage2.mid Blood spatters the walls as several corpses are tossed about the place. The corridor continues on, turning at a bend in the wall. Several doors line the hall.
Cedric pauses at the sight of the corpses, then tightening his fist around his hammer, moves forward nodding to the others to follow. As he passes the doors, he glances at Kyoji and nods to them. He then continues on with the others.
Kyoji kneels and checks the bodies. Sparks fly from portions of the walls torn open and exposing wires and cables as the group passes.
Isyndel only nodded in reply, her stomach tossing end over and end at the sights and smells. Huddling close to the rear of the group her eyes continued to dart about. "How wretched," she spoke; her voice quiet, it's tone unstable.
The Paladin slows and glances around with a heavy frown, "Yes..." His eyes narrow, then a relieved expression crosses his face.
"Most of them seemed to have died in the crash... but a few have signs of struggle on them," Kyoji notes. "Are you allright?" Kyoji asks of Isyndel, noting her tone and actions.
Faralon grimaces, mostly trying to ignore gazing at the bodies and blood, but his curious eyes glance from time to time at them. Faralon holds his hand up.* Faralon: "I...hear something...a voice..."
"I hear it too... Over there somewhere."
Her breath caught in her throat briefly; her eyes settled on Kyoji. "No, but I will endure. No worries, Kyoji." She was about to continue speaking until the both noted the sounds.
The Paladin glances back at Faralon, whispering in response, "A voice?" He glances at Kyoji, "Lead the way."
"Hold," she insisted a moment later.
"Yes, Isyndel?" Kyoji asks.
"I can create a light more stable than this first? If you feel it necessary."
"That would be useful."
Isyndel glanced about once more, looking for something to focus the magic on.
There are many pieces of debris around.
Her tiny hands passed about a piece of metal, thin and light enough to be used. With little more than a blink a magical glow encased it.
"Shall we proceed?" Kyoji asks.
She nodded, wielding the makeshift torch about her cautiously.
Cedric nods, starting forward after Kyoji.
The group continues along the corridors, passing more bodies. The corpses are varied, some in the soldier uniforms they had seen, some in other uniforms.
Isyndel notices a few of the corpses aren't from any species she knows of... They appear to be humans, but are very pale and thin, with an extra digit on each hand. A few others appear to be humans with minor differences as well.
The "torch" passed cautiously, making slow gentle sweeps in front of her as she walked. Her ears perked slightly as her footsteps cease suddenly. She glided quietly to the wall of the corridor and kneeled closer to a body as if inspecting something.
Faralon swallows, watching Isyndel, puzzled.
She rose from her knees. "Peculiar. Look closer," she replied. She gestured immediately to the hand of a fallen corpse.
Cedric pauses, looking back at the bodies with a impatient scowl.
Faralon points out grafts on the corpse of one of the fallen, "This one is a cyborg...They must have had many..."
Some of the bodies have metal grafts marking them as such. A sputtering sound comes from a smashed box mounted in the wall. A broken and static obscured female voice issues from the box, "....back to.... core areas, syst....line. All surviving troops.... ally point."
Isyndel stumbled backward in surprise at the sound, nearly stumbling over herself as she did so. Exhaling sharply, she straightened once more. "Cyborg...an abomination, in a way..." she trailed off.
It sounds like a similar message was repeated further down into the ship.
Cedric rubs his beard thoughtfully for a moment, then turns back down the corridor, "We should continue on..."
"A mesh of metal and man, or so it would seem," she breathed, turning once more to follow Cedric.
The bard mutters...* Faralon: "And there it is again. The message is being sent throughout the entire ship..." *Faralon nods to Cedric, ready to follow.
The group continues down the corridor, the hallway opening into a huge room, easily the size of a large house. Most of the room is empty, but a few huge smashed machines lay broken in bays constructed for them.
The Paladin pauses for a moment, "Yes... Abominations." He cannot help but think back on the Drowned Eye and the Storm.
A giant hatch is set into the ceiling.
Isyndel held the beacon aloft as they stepped into the room in an effort to allow the light to bathe across as evenly as possible.
Faralon and Kyoji note at about the same time as Isyndel that an unnatural shape lurks in the shadows near the other end of the room. Cedric is clueless.
She gasped, catching the breath in her throat as something caught her eye. Isyndel's neck snapped back as she glared in that direction, eyes narrowing.
Tensing up, Faralon's breath slows as he looks at the shape, then at the others.
Cedric arches an eyebrow, glancing at the others, "What is it?"
Faralon motions with his eyes, speaking in whispers.* Faralon: "I'm not sure...but it's in the shadows there.
Everyone but Cedric is not surprised as a large lizard-like bipedal creatures leaps from the shadows. The creature is covered in blade-like bone protrusions, with a large, fang filled mouth, powerful jaws, and a bony exoskeleton. The blades covering the creature are covered in blood.
Faralon's eyes open wide as he quickly studies the creature, "...Abomination. I've never seen anything like it, but it's wild and furious like a demon...and it's clearly not of this world."
Cedric stares at the creature, his surprise fading as a dark smile crosses his face, "A fiend then..."
Isyndel backpedals immediately. Raising her free hand to the sky, she quickly works the chant and movements for her spell before releasing three rays of heat from her palm. Two flail off target blindly but the third manages to strike the creature at the side.
Faralon hums the same tune he performed in the last battle. However, this time sounds seem to vibrate off his very form as he casts a spell. The spell shrieks forward into the beast, noticeably and unusually large for such a spell.
The beast recoils from the blast, looking dazed. Then it roars and charges Faralon.
Isyndel pulls the wand from her belt. Levelling it at the creature, she releases a lightning bolt at it.
Faralon, seeing the creature charge at him, quickly casts a spell of invisibility. Immediately, he moves behind Cedric, away from the beast.
((Sadly, I must go... ))

((Yeah, so... the Gabester's at 1 HP, assuming all buffs have worn off. Just a thought, thanks.)) "Alright," the elf said, waiting for the members of Wyvern to be healed, "Let's go. Keep an eye and an ear out for any soldiers who might be in hiding."
Then, when all were in good enough condition to move, he headed back towards the wagon, picking up any soldiers they found along the way.

Kyoji fails his attempt to attack and is knocked out swiftly from the monster's counter attack. The foe attacks Cedric, barely scratching the Paladin. Cedric slams his weapon down upon the beast as Isyndel finishes it off with a Magic Missile. The beast collapses to the floor with a groan.
((Note: Cedric took 10 damage.))
Her hand, still glimmering with the traces of her released spell, fell weakly to her side. She moved instantly to Kyoji in a panic.
*Faralon quickly moves to Kyoji after the beast falls, healing the ninja.*
((28 HP healed.))
"I... Screwed up again..." Kyoji mutters, angrily as he wakes. "But... thank you for the hasty rescue."
A quiet smile overtook her as she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," Isyndel said, placing her hand on the ninja's shoulder.
Faralon: "It's all right. It just caught you off guard. It's an unusual foe. It's dealt with now."
She then fell on her rump, startled by the sudden voice of Faralon.
Kyoji chuckles a little as he gets up, then offers Isyndel a hand.
Isyndel took the hand and rose to her feet, adjusting her skirt. "Of all the st..." she began, but paused, gritting her teeth. This wasn't the place. "I should hope we encounter no more of those," she finished, searching about the room for anymore signs of activity.
"Agreed," Kyoji says.
Levelling the wand before her once more, she turned to face the room once more. Careful to not stray too far, she began examining the mechanical bays about the room. Let us not tarry here too long," she called back. "Look about for anything of interest and then let us continue. I grow tired of this place already."
*Faralon nods, appearing once more as the strange harmonics leave the air.* Faralon: "Agreed. We should do a quick search and be done with it."
Examining the area, the group deduces that these must be vehicles of the Ancients. Also, various trinkets were found among the dead.
Perplexed, she turned back to the center of the room. "A shame the tinker is not here...Kyoji," Isyndel continued. "How fast do you think you could find the entrance of this devilish thing?"
"You mean these?" Kyoji asks, thumping the side of one of the machines.
She frowned, having chosen the wrong words. "Rather, where we entered. Perhaps one of us should return to retrieve Zook, and you are likely the quickest of us."
"It sounds like a good idea. Cedric?" Kyoji asks of their leader.
*Faralon interjects with a suggestion before the leader can respond.* Faralon: "Actually, I could cast a spell that would let me get to Zook in a short amount of time. I could take these parts to him and bring him back here quickly, if you want."

The Paladin frowns thoughtfully, "I wanted Zook to be present to direct the other Tinkers when they arrived." He glances at the machinery, "While his aid at the head of a full troop of skilled hands would be immense, we may indeed need his guidance to continue scouting this...ruin." He sighs, "Very well, do what you need to bring Zook here."

*Faralon nods, immediately casting a spell. With lightning quick reflexes, Faralon zooms out of the room heading outside the ship. Seeing what's left of the Behemoth, the elf decides Zook is probably looking over the parts, taking what he could use, as he has done with past technological enemies in the past. Faralon makes haste follows the movements and sounds from within the pile of metal parts, finally spotting Zook. Faralon speaks in a loud, fast, excited manner...he was just in a battle and his heart was still racing - mostly due to the spell.* Faralon: "Zook, come quick! We need your knowledge inside the ship!"
Zook's head pops out of the wreckage. "Come again?"
Faralon: "I saw vehicles of the Ancients in there, but I don't know a thing about them! It's an unpleasant trip, but I'll make haste about it if you hop on my back...Blood and bodies...dead cyborgs even...It's a mess, but that's not important right now. We found vehicles of the Ancients!!"
Zook frowns, reticent to leave the wreckage, but he rises just the same. "Very well. Let's go."
*Carrying Zook, Faralon runs back into the ship, slowing down slightly once inside to ensure he does not trip or slip on anything. He grimaces sharply, the smell of the dead coating the walls and the floor of the ship. Faralon speaks as he continues moving.* Faralon: "It might be best to just look at the ceiling..."
"Am I really that squeamish?" Zook grumbles. "I only fainted once..."
*Charging forward, Faralon begins to see the entrance to the room the others are in as he continues to speak.* Faralon: "...Here we are! I had to make haste so we would not waste time. This isn't exactly the best place to stand around in...We did get attacked." *Coming to the doorway, Faralon lets Zook down.* Faralon: "But don't worry, we'll cover you...I doubt there's any more of those things anyway. Oh, and also, we found these." *Faralon gives Zook the items they found on the fallen soldiers and cyborgs.*
