[OOC: Are we back?]
Symon whispers his discoveries to everyone and asks for a minute to disarm all thses traps. He also mentions that he could use a cure or two.
He only works on the traps if he can do so without setting off the glyphs. By the way, if he can, he will disable the glyphs too. With his Arcane Sight he should have no problem seeing them?

Onrad Tuesday February 1st, 2005 12:19:07 PM
Onrad emerges form the dark upside down and smashes his head on the floor!
"Ouch! See I'm always cursed with these unwanted teleport thingees! The only teleport I've ever survived was one cast by Nonam!"
He pops to his feet and pops his neck. We're short handed folks. Be careful.
Gareth Tuesday February 1st, 2005 11:08:33 PM
The warrior looks to the dwindling group. "Anyone have a way past or must we simply blast through the hard way?". He waits for Symon to complete his work - at a safe distance.
Tericus Wednesday February 2nd, 2005 7:03:03 AM
"Im not really able to do anything about it." Tericus tells Gareth
OOC, we're missing so many people, maybe we should wait until at least one of them to come back before we continue.

Symon's fingers do some good work and though there is sweat streaming down his cheeks when he is complete the door is now trap and glyph free.

"Well, my friends, are we ready?" Symon asks. "Remember, I think there is an anti-magic field out there."
"If there is an anti-magic zone, it works against them as well as against us. We could open the door and chat with them ... they won't be able to fire spells at us either."
"I could talk to them. I have some power that way which could work to our advantage."
"I could throw this shrunken fire into the zone ... it would revert to a real fire in the zone, I think. That might help us some how."
Clearly, Symon wants to open the door and talk to the enemy. But he waits for an okay from the others before doing that.

Jandar 3d8(3+5+5)+15=28 d20+18=35 Thursday February 3rd, 2005 12:50:09 AM
Jandar goes to Symon and says,"I will heal your wounds, little one. Then I will attempt to dispel any magic on this door. Hopefully, it will work and you won't chance getting blown into oblivion, before I even get to meet you and find out how you got here, which is a discussion for another day. I suggest you all move back, so only I get fried if this doesn't work out."
Jandar activates his ring of Elemental Resistance(fire), says a prayer to Domi while the others move back, then casts 'Greater Dispel Magic', area effect on the door.
(Kent, tell me how many checks you need, if one is not enough...and how many saves Jandar has to make to keep from dying)
(Healed Symon 28 points, Dispel check DC35)
Tericus Thursday February 3rd, 2005 6:33:38 AM
"You can't reason with liches," Tericus tells Symon matter of factly as he moves out of Jandar's way (remember, everyone has holy aura cast on them).
Symon (extra post) Thursday February 3rd, 2005 7:35:48 AM
"Well, no, but I think I could tick them off, maybe, to our advantage. Is the other option to run in swinging? Can't we do that anyway if talking fails?"
"Or at any rate, why not open the door, throw in the fire, get a look around, and maybe see a place to teleport farther in, for some of us at least maybe. Talking while we do that can't hurt, can it?"
"By the way," Symon whispers to Jandar, "Thanks for the cure. And pleased ta meetcha!"
Onrad Thursday February 3rd, 2005 7:44:40 AM
Onrad remains silent, focusing on the door.
"I'm tired of the smell down here. Can't we get this over with?"
He nods to Gareth and stands beside him.
"Once more into the fire, my friend?"
At least we still have our two priests, and our healing wands.
Gareth Thursday February 3rd, 2005 8:06:43 AM
The warrior waits as Jandar does his thing. Looking to Onrad and then the others he offers "I hope to good gods of the Wold are with us in strength this day. We will need it. And Symon, they know we are here, and they would be glad to talk while some of them got in the first blows. Time to fight. Throw in your fire or anything else you may have. It will be greatly appreciated.". Once Jandar is finished he throws open the door, rushes in, and engages Morlas (or whichever one is between him and the abomination).
Jandar Thursday February 3rd, 2005 11:56:51 AM
(Sorry, I missed that the door was trap and glyph free. My bad. I'll post later.)
Kent Thursday February 3rd, 2005 8:59:09 PM
Symon throws open the door and throws in his shrunken fire which nearly scorches him as it flares into normal size just inches inside the door, and suprises the Death Slaad Blackguard Lich that is standing right there.
Unlike the other room this room is not covered with dead bodies but chests and sacks and other assorted containers, some of which have spilled their rich contents onto the floor. Along the two side walls are racks of ornamental and bejeweled weaponry interspersed with gorgeous tapestries, batiks and other wall hangings. There seem to be a pile of rolled and folded weaving and carpets in one corner upon which your old friend Morlas is standing. On the other side of the room standing next to what seems to be a rather large Prismatic sphere, is the Drow Lich Assassin you were just facing and the Drow Matron Lich Mystic Theurge you faced the day before.
There are no other apparent exits to this room though you can not see into the area where the spere is very well and can see nothing behind it...
Map is on its way.
Gareth (38 AC, 317/317 HP, Fly, Disrupting Weapon on Max, Stoneskin - 130/150, Delay poison, Bless+1, Cat's Grace, Bear's Endurance, Bull's Strength, Holy Sword on Short Sword) d20+42=51 d10+23=27 Thursday February 3rd, 2005 9:40:52 PM
Seeing Morlas the warrior wastes no time. He immediately launches himself at the lich, flies over all the tapestries and such and lands next to him, striking at the lich with Max with two hands (Hit AC 51, 27 DMG - Save vs. Disrupting Weapon).

Symon casts Teleport to place himself in the lower right hand corner of the chamber, behind the chests and suits of armor. (45% for mishap = ok)
He immediately Hides, aided by his darkness spell and the clutter all around. (Hide check 48) He is still halfling-shaped, too, which helps.
He takes a good look around (True Seeing, Arcane Sight, Detect Evil). He is especially wary that the "suits of armor" are not golems or something. But he is trying like a mad fiend to be hiding from them too.
Still hiding, he draws his bow.

Onrad races tumbling across the room to avoid Attacks of Opportunity charging (duelist ability to charge through uneven ground and while tumbling) at Morlas. If he can reach him, he'll charge right through the sphere if he can right beside Gareth, his brother in arms.

A number of things all happen at the same time, most of which are quite unpleasant for the Storm Dragons.
Gareth and Onrad go flying across the room charging Morlas and realize immediately upon striking him that they are in trouble as the shape they strike shimmers and disapears and they feel themselves covered with an substance that immediately starts burning them and their weapons and armor. Max sneces something is wrong but not until it is too late and the warnig to stop doesn't make it to gareth in time. Both Gareth's and Onrad's weapons, armor and clothing start to disolve 50 points damage each weapon and armor - reflex save for each DC 21 for 1/2 damage.] They are immediately each hit with a slam by the now split Black Pudding in front of them. Gareth 17 points plus 12 points acid damage, Onrad 21 points plus 9 points acid damage
Both heroes feel the ooze try to wrap around them but it doesn't manage to do so this time.
Tericu and Jandar cast their spells only to watch as the Slaad disapears and a suit of armor is turned to slag by the searing light.
Symon perhaps is the most suprised as he teleports into a room he can't tell what's real from the door and finds himself in the corner he chose. Peeking up from behind things he now can see things as they re and he sees several things. He sees Onrad and Gareth dive into a black pudding, he sees Jandar and Tericus kill a helpless suit of armor, but what bugs imthe most is that it appears that he is peering out from between what seems to be two very large frog legs and there are two drow right in front of him as well.
The Sladd grins evily and claws downward twice at the apparent halfling and then tries to bite him, hitting with both claws AC 28, 33, 20 for 38 points. Symon feels his body start to shut down 2 will saves DC 22 or be stunned for 2 rounds.
The two drow react as well, one sending three daggers at Tericus AC 25, 25, & 34 for 27 points and Tericus feels a great lethargy start to overwhelm him. 3 fortitude saves DC 19 or lose 5 points of constitution
The drow matron casts a spell on Jandar and a collumn of flame engulf the cleric (flame strike) 51 points Reflex save DC 21 for 25 points
new map coming.
Symon Dracozyl (AC28, HP 88 of 126) (Holy Aura, Message, Heroism, Endure Elements, Extended Prestidigitation, Extended Arcane Sight, True Seeing, Detect Evil, Alter Self (halfling), Darkness) d20+19=32 d20+19=22 d20+25=38 d20+33=54 d20+7=14 Saturday February 5th, 2005 7:50:16 AM
[Kent, I forgot about the Holy Aura spell, which boosts Symon's AC to 28 ... but that's no biggie, since both Slaad attacks still hit Symon. However, the spell says that if an evil creature hits someone protected by Holy Aura, then the creature has to save or be blind. Maybe the Slaad has to save twice, once for each hit on Symon?]
[Also, Symon's Darkness spell gives him (and everyone else within 20 feet) both concealment and the resulting 20 percent miss chance -- unless you can see through Darkness, like Symon can, with True Seeing. Does it look to Symon like the Slaad is bothered by the Darkness at all? Maybe one or two of those hits were misses?]
Symon resists the stunning effect of the blows that slammed him. (Will save +13 base +2 heroism +4 holy aura = +19).
His eyes focus on a spot just behind the Slaad. "Thank Alemi you've arrived! Please kill the drow and lich now!" Symon says. [Bluff check to create a diversion -- a standard action that lets Symon "attempt a Hide check while people are aware of you." Symon's Bluff check, opposed by Sense Motive checks, is 38]
When the lich and drow look away, Symon ducks behind whatever is handy within 17 feet of him and hides. [Hide check is 44 after factoring in the -10 penalty to Hide after creating a diversion.]
If there is nothing at all to Hide behind within 17 feet, Symon will Hide in the shadows of his own Darkness spell, which grants the concealment needed to make a Hide check.
If there is nothing to Hide behind AND Symon thinks the Slaad can see through the dark AND the Slaad is not blinded by the Holy Aura, then Symon is in trouble! If all that is true, then if he can, he'll abandon this plan and just Withdraw. (Untrained Tumble check 14 is also not good news for our hero, if it comes to that!)

As the acid does its work the warrior mutters "Should'a known...". He dodges some of the flying mess sparing his armor and sword some serious damage. He backs away from the pudding, turns and tries to find the real culrpit. He sees Jandar and Tericus destroying armor, and Symon getting attacked - and daggars flying from the same general direction, and finally sees who he hopes is the dark lich himself (per the map). He closes on what he hopes is the real Morlas and attacks yet again. (I assume Gareth has some idea that of what is real now.). He cuts into the lich with his attack (Hit AC 50, 32 DMG - save or be utterly destroyed).

Jandar says,"Well, that wasn't very fair. Just what I'd expect from undead."
He nimbly dodges the column of fire thrown by the Drow(saved, and ring of evasion), then moves five feet forward and casts 'Searing Light' again, this time at the drow. (beat SR32, touch attack hits AC 39 for either 38 or 45, depending on light sensitivity of the creature)
(Kent, please don't forget they have to beat Jandar's SR30. Also, are these light sensitive creatures? It'll save me from rolling both the d6 and d8, unless you want me to.)

easily shrugging off the effects of the poision(fort save of 34) Tericus casts Holy Smite on the drow that Jandar hit with his searing light spell(20' radius, should catch both drow in it, 38 pts of damage and blinded for one round, will save of 19 for half and to negate the blindness, any non evil creature caught in the blast only suffers half damage and isnt blinded)

Screaming in frustration at his beloved sword being damaged (wearing no armor), he dives out of the pudding as fast as possible. [jump check of d20+22=39]
He takes half damage from the pudding saving with d20+15=34. He personally takes the 30 points damage mentioned (21+9).
---------

Boots of Speed Round 9 activated Deciding that the old phrase "fool me once" comes in play, he does not follow Gareth this time, but goes instead for the known entity, the drow.
"Anyone know how to kill the Lord of Pudding's?"
He lines up in a flanking position and attacks the drow twice activating his boots of speed.
He hits with a 51 making a possible crit situation. His frustration wins out on the drow as he succeeds on the crit with a 52.

Both Onrad's sword and Max have 6 hit points left. The swords are still functional but Max is not at all happy. Gareth's armor is at 1/2 normal functionality.
Symon can tell that the Slaad and the other are having no difficulty with the darkness nor does the slaad seem to be affected by the holy aura blindness affect. The bluff goes off well but the two drow are paying attention to other things and the Sladd is focussed directly on Symon and almost grins as Symon crawls into the corner.
As Onrad and Gareth leave the pudding it tries to slam at them again and Gareth gets hit hard again AC 40 for 30 total points of regular and acid damage. Onrad's acrobatics however must have confused the poor pudding as its attack on him missed by a mile.
Onrad and Gareth continue on their ways across the rooms and both travel 60 feet to just get to their opponents and cannot attack yet. As gareth stops, he realizes that someone is beside him and sees that Fai'fasal has joined him though it looks like he is on the far edge of insanity.
Jandar and Tericus send off their respective spells in the direction from which the daggers came flying, hoping for the best as they take a shot in the darkness(unless you have a way of seeing through Symon's magical darkness). The spells go off without a hitch and seem to enter the dark sphere but then nothing else can be told.
Symon however does take 19 points of damage from Tericus' holy smite spell.
.....
The Slaad, following Symons move to the corner reaches out to touch him with his claws again hitting him once for 10 points of damage and a will save dc 22 or be stunned.
As Morlas sees Gareth and Fai'fasal approach he cast a quick spell and a barrier of whirring blades suddenly appears between them, effectively cutting himslef off from them.
The Matron seeing on of her former subjects running across the room with Liseth in his hands lets loose with a snarl that nearly curdles Symon's blood when he hears it. that snarl is floowed closely by a column of flame that engulfs the drow 56 points relfex dc 21 for 28 points
The other drow sends three more daggers flying at Tericus AC 38, 21 and 28 for 20 points and two fortitude saves dc 19 or lose 5 points of constitution.

Symon resists the stun attack. Then he tries an untrained Tumble to move west out of the Slaad's reach. He rolls a natural one on that check, so when he moves, he provokes an attack of opportunity. If the AoO is a hit, his Stun save is a natural one, and he is stunned.
If the AoO does not hit, then with his remaining action, Symon casts Teleport, to move behind the door to the room, where he will hide (check result is a 44, another nat one!) Of course, if he is stunned, he will not be teleporting or hiding anywhere!

As the warrior sees the blade barrier go up he knows the worst thing he can do is stop and allow the lich a chance to cast again. Bellowing loudly, he sheaths Max (Quick Draw Feat) and runs straight into the blade barrier. Using his amazing strength he grabs the lich - attempting to pin its arms, picks it up, and runs back toward the pudding. Once he gets near the pudding he throws Morlas into it so it can experience the joy of acid damage too... (Note: He'll move as far as he can towards the pudding and still get an attack, and launch the lich from there - no need to stay up close and personal too long...). (Hit AC 46 - Grapple, Hit AC 55 to hit the pudding with the lich, 30 strength on grapple - no way he's not strong enough to do this). Notes: The blade barrier will not follow him - and Morlas gets damage when Gareth carries him through it...

(OOC, i havnt been able to open any of the maps, so im posting blind)
"We need to see whats going on." Tericus says to himself as he throws off the effects of the poision again(save of 22 and 32), then he casts dispel magic on the darkness(dispel check of 35, rolled a natural 20)
Onrad d20+33=45 d20+28=46 d20+23=37 d20+18=29 d20+34=24 2d63+2)+14=19 d20+28=46 2d6(5+3)+18=26 2d6(2+3)+18=23 2d6(3+5)+18=26 2d6(3+1)+18=22 2d6(1+1)+18=20 2d6(2+4)+18=24 Wednesday February 9th, 2005 2:12:42 PM
Now that Onrad is within 5' of the drow, he wails on him with his full assortment of attacks.
His first attack hits AC45 and does 19 hpd.
[d20+33=45 2d8(3+2)+14=19]
His second attack hits AC46 which is a probable crit. The possible roll hits AC46. Normal damage is 26hpd. If a crit it's 55hpd.
[d20+28=46 d20+28=46]
[2d6(5+3)+18=26 2d6(2+3)+18=23 2d6(3+5)+18=26]
His third hit hits AC37. If that hits, it does 22hpd.
[d20+23=37] [2d6(3+1)+18=22]
His fourth attack hits AC29 most likelly missing. If it hits, it does 20hpd.
[d20+18=29][2d6(1+1)+18=20]
His fifth attack hits AC24. It probably misses doing 24 hpd.

Jandar, feeling quite sure he's hitting the drow, casts 'Flame Strike' on the same one he and Tericus have been going after already. He then moves as far as possible to get closer to the Symon and yells at the Slaad, hoping to distract it and make it mad,"Hey Toad boy! We aren't finished yet you slug! After I roast you, I'm having frog legs for dinner!"

(OOC Sent map jpeg to Sam, not sure if it worked though. please let me know)
Gareth Jumps through the blade barrier to grab hold of Morlas and get chopped up in "La Machine" (58 reflex DC23 for 29 points). Gareth does indeed manage to grab hold of and grapple Morlas (opposed grapple check, natural 1). Jumping back through the magical food processor both Gareth and Morlas feel the pain (54 points each reflex DC for 27 points, no dex bonus allowed for either on return trip due to carrying stuggling opponent and being carried.) and then Gareth heaves the sorcerer as far as he can toward the approaching pudding. (Two five foot jumps, a grapple and a heave are just about more than Gareth is going to manage this round. If he wants to remain in grapple and move closer next round fine if not I will assume you are going ahead with the throw.)
Fai'fasal screams, whether in agony from the flame strike or in frustration as Gareth takes on Morlas is hard to tell, but moments later the flames go out and he doesn't look too crispy.
Symon tries to get away and gets hit by Monsieur Frog legs AC 29 for 18 points and he falls to the floor momentarily stunned 1 round
Tericus casts his dispell and somehow his spell manages to work or perhaps it ended due to Symon's incapacity, but in any case the darkness subsides.
Jandar sends his flame strike down just as Onrad also attacks the drow and then he sees that Symon is lying still on the floor beneath the Slaad.
>>>>>
Morlas struggles to escape but is unable to this round.
The Matron feeling the heat from the flame strike that struck her ally turns and starts another spell and a form takes shape and appears behind Onrad Turning he can see that it is roughly 8 ft tall and looks like a cross between a large Vulture and a giant.
The drow send two more daggers at Tericus connecting with both AC 41 and 28 for 20 points and two more fortitude saves DC 19 or lose 4 points of con.
The Slaad looks down at Symon with a grin on his slimy lips and misjudges his claw swipes as he missed badly (nat 1, nat 2) the fumble causing him to not be able to try and crunch him for lunch.
Onrad lays into the Drow that Tericus and Jandar were attacking and moments later is partially engulfed with Jandar's flame strike as it comes down on him as well. However when the flames die down the drow is not looking so well.

Symon lays still and prone. He imagines that he is at home in bed, but somehow his mattress has turned to stone. "How could that be?" he wonders, and he tries in vain to figure out this mystery.
He also wonders why his stone bed has a big lump -- answer: Symon is lying on his bow, which he dropped as he fell.
[OOC:
Prone: The character is on the ground. An attacker who is prone has a --4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow). A defender who is prone gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against ranged attacks, but takes a --4 penalty to AC against melee attacks. Standing up is a move-equivalent action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
Stunned: A stunned creature drops everything held, can't take actions, takes a --2 penalty to AC, and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). ]

Seeing Simon laying on the ground, he yells, "Simon down!"
Jandar's Flame Strike hits him. He saves vs. Reflex at DC30 which I'm assuming is enough to take half damage of 23hpd. He screams from the pain, his nerves tight after so much pain being experienced in one day.
He continues to wail into the drow hoping to put him down.
His first attack hits AC 40. It does 19 points damage.
His second attack hits AC39. It does 19 hit points damage. This possible crit hits 44. If this is not a crit, he does 45 additional hpd.
His third attack hits AC39. It does 20 hit points damage.
His fourth attack hits AC24. It does 19 hpd if it hits.
His boots of speed cut off for the day this round.

Jandar Friday February 11th, 2005 7:16:49 PM
Jandar yells,"SORRY ONRAD! I'll heal you later."
He then makes a charge for the Slaad.(Righteous Might is double the size, so he's got 6' long legs. I'm not at home right now, but I'll roll his 'to hit' on the Slaad he's charging when I get their late tonight.)

Seeing (saved for 1/2 & stonekin) the damage the blade barrier has on the lich, the warrior decides not to wait on the pudding. He leans the thing back over towards the blade barrier and throws him into it and out the other side (hits him twice). The warrior quickly moves around the barrier to face his opponent one more time.
Jandar d20+14=26 Saturday February 12th, 2005 12:34:36 AM
Jandar, all twelve feet tall and sixteen hundred pounds of him, sees Symon prone and still at the Slaad's feet. He issues a roar and charges. He attempts to Bull Rush the Slaad, keeping him off Symon.
(Kent, you get AOO and need to make opposed Strength check. If you beat 26, Jandar is moved back 5 feet, if he wins, the Slaad is moved back 5 feet, hopefully out of reach of his weapon, too)

Jandar Bull's is met with a quick slash of claws as the Slaad is pushed backwards 5 feet. AC 40 for 18 points and will save DC 22 or be stuuned for a round.
Simon begins to feel able to move a bit and thinks he can stand, if he tried hard enough.
Onrad lays into the Drow and scores mightily snding big chunks of lich all over the place.
Gareth heaves the drow back through the whirling blades and prepares to battle them again himself if he truly plans to attach Morlas. (There is no way around them).
Tericus looks down in horror at two daggers sticking out of him.
Fai'Fasal screams even louder as Morlas is sent back through the barrier and away from him and intead charges straight at his former Matron Mother.
>>>>>>>
The Drow now hurting very badlysprouts two short swords into his hands and turns on Onrad a feral snarl across his face. Hitting him twice with slashes across the chest AC 39 & AC 39 for 21 points and two fortitude save DC 19 or lose 5 points of Constitution.
Morlas looking a bit shaken stands and send off a speel sending a bolt of lightening through to Gareth 66 points arcing over to Faifasal, Onrad, Symon and Jandar for 33 points each, reflex DC 23 for 1/2 damage
The Matron mother sees Fai'fasal charging and sneds a black ray of energy straight toward him. {b} disintigrate fort DC 22 for 16 points[/b]

The warrior dodges some of the damage from Morlas's lightning (saved for 1/2) and quickly decides he is in the wrong place. He races through the blades yet again (saved for 1/2 - will reduce HPs next time), grapples the lich once more (Hit AC 55), and drags him back into the blades - and stands there. "Let us see which one of us can endure the most pain - you WRETCH!" He holds on for dear life, hoping he can hold him and prevent him from escaping.

Jandar is able to fight off the effects from the Slaad, grinning as he pushes the lich backwards, away from Symon. He is able to dodge the effects of the Lightning Bolt with evasion, deciding that he did well on the spells he has cast so far.
Jandar decides he's had enough of this particular Lich and casts his last high-level spell...Heal.(Jandar beat SR31+2 spell penetration=SR33 for 150 damage, or will save DC25 for 75 points)
Jandar looks at the lich and says,"Well, toad boy, you may have escaped me once, but not again! I will destroy you forever this time!"
Jandar makes sure to stay between the Slaad and Symon.
Tericus(AC 28, HP 137/97, Bless, Delay Poision, Holy Aura) d20+18=28 d20+18=34 Tuesday February 15th, 2005 7:11:18 AM
(made last two saving throws)
Hoping that the drow has been dealt with, Tericus will cast richious might on himself then he joins Jandar in attacking the slaad

Symon does his best to teleport out of harm's way -- across the room where there are no enemies he can see.

Hold on Gareth! You're the man!
Seeing Symon teleport, he breathes a sigh of relief.
Then come the attacks. He grits his teeth as the drow finally attacks back hitting him twice taking the 21 points. The first one causes a wave of disorientation to come over him. He know's those blades have Marteaus himself in them for sure! He concentrates to purge the effect from him and succeeds. (hero point). Then the second blade hits. He throws it off too.
[d20+15=29 d20+14=15 d20+14=20]
The Lightning hits and Onrad barely escapes with half damage taking 16 hpd more.
[d20+15=17]
[only 1 hero point left unless we earned some in that last battle....eh Kent?]
So he continues to tear into the drow.
His attacks hit AC41, AC43, AC39, AC21. The second attack is a possible crit. hitting AC30. The third attack is a possible crit. hitting AC41!
The damage in order is 19, 20, 20, and 19 if they hit. If the 2nd one critted, add 20 and 19 to the x3 crit. If the 3rd one critted add 20 and 23 to the damage.
He activates his cloak of displacement to see if it will affect the drow.

Gareth Once more dives through the spinning blades (1/2 damage is 33 points) and grabs Morlas as the lich nearly cringes in disbelief that Gareth would voluntarily brave the amount of damage occurring. Being pulled into the spinning blades, they both take 58 points more damage reflex save for 29 more points. Then they both start dancing a bit struggling against each other, one trying to escape the other trying r=to hold on. Moments later Morlas goes limp and the blade barrier dies away.
Onrad watches in horror as some of the wounds on the drow he is facing seem to vanish before his very eyes, even as his first three attacks again score on his opponent.
The drow in turn returns the favor and attacks again hitting AC 45 Crit threat AC 38 critical hit and AC 38 for a secon hit. The thrid strike once again goes astray. 32 points and two fortitude saves DC19 or lose 3 points of con.
The Slaad shimmers a bit as Jandar casts his spell and then the he opens his maw wih a horendous grin and emits a sound that might have been like a laugh, were it not so disgusting and evil sounding. (SR 36) and then answers Jandar's taunt. Aaarrh wwiiirrll deeesttroyy eeeeuuuuu! and sends a gob of spittle straight at Jandar. AC 37 ranged touch.
As soon as the spittle touches Jandar he feels something is not right 34 chaos damage, no save.
Symon manages to teleport safely to the other side of the roon just to the north side of the open door.
Fai'fasal is hit by the black ray and is suddenly no longer there (natural 1 on his save)
The matron turns her attention to those around her and tries the same thing on someone else, as a black ray of ugliness streaks toward and strikes Tericus in the chest. disintigrate 103 points damage; SR 25 negates, fort DC25 for 21 points
(OOC - Yes everyone who was in the last combat should receive 1 hero point. In addition Gareth should receive a second for his interpretation of a food processor)

The warrior drops the remains of the lich in elation and disgust as the remnants of his stoneskin fall away (saved for 29 DMG) - knowing it is only a small victory if they don't find the phylacteries. He comes around the corner and focuses his attention to the Matron, closes, and attacks her. Ironic that it was Fai'Fasal who killed her outright in their last encounter only to be killed by her in the same manner (note: wouldn't the drow blade master have hero points?). As he closes he draws Max (Quick Draw) cuts into the newest member of the lich team - and the one that is going to have the shortest life of all... (Hit AC 51, 31 DMG - Save vs Disrupting Weapon).
