A Pause (Round 4) DM Cayzle d20+16=25 ; d20+14=23 ; d20+14=15 ; d20+16=29 ; d20+14=27 ; d20+14=24 ; Wednesday November 26th, 2008 7:44:39 AM The Heros
Xenia starts blinking (standard action). She moves at half speed -- to maximize her sneakiness -- and passes through solid matter to peek in the corridor next door. She sees that there are still lots of undead, and she catches a glimpse of the cleric who has been pesterizing you. She communicates this mentally with Wynn.
[DM OOC note to Xenia -- Per the rules, "While blinking, you can step through (but not see through) solid objects. For each 5 feet of solid material you walk through, there is a 50% chance that you become material. If this occurs, you are shunted off to the nearest open space and take 1d6 points of damage per 5 feet so traveled." Did Xenia roll such a percent? If not, she needs to, and if she fails, she should roll the appropriate damage. When passing through a five foot thick space, roll randomly to determine the side of the five-foot divider on which you land -- but in this case, for this round only, we will assume that Xenia ended up on the far side.]
Wounded, Florin hits the undead before him for 32 damage.
Harley cures himself.
Wynn tries to blink through the secret door that remains jammed (by Xenia) shut. But he materializes in the solidity of the thick substance through which he is trying to pass, with a painful result.
[Please see the note on blinking above ... well played here, thanks!. Also note that the DM feels compelled to offer a note: Xenia, floating five feet off the floor, hiding in plain sight, and with exceptional skill checks, stands a very good chance of escaping detection as she spies. Wynn, on the other hand, would likely be noticed and attacked, were he to end up on the wrong side of the wall. Just a thought.]
Brahmah steps forward to I5 and swings over Syr's head, inflicting 44 damage -- not quite enough to kill it.
Syr destroys the undead that Brahmah hurt, and then steps forward to destroy the next one in line!
Belkior heals Harley.
The Enemy
The undead Florin hurt backs off, using the withdraw action. Another undead takes its place with a charge: All three attack miss.
A new undead charges Syr. It attacks: Also three misses.
Xenia sees that the cleric is casting a spell. She does not see any result.

Making a touch attack, Brahmah taps Syr on the shoulder, indicating to him to step back five feet. (Touch AC vs 33) Taps him with the blade of his falchion. He mouths something Syr obviously can't hear. But the gesture is clearly, I can't reach to support you.

OOC: Have a great holiday friends!
"I only see one of them magickers, Wynn. There were between five and fifteen. They gotta be around here somewhere. I'm gonna fly further out for a look."
One with the shadows and silent as a ghost, the slim dark girl glides just over the heads of the milling undead. Don't look down. Don't look. The proximity is unnerving, but the rogue finally finds a clear spot just above the main magicker. His robes still drip in the goo from the tanglefoot bag. Looking up the corridors to the North and to the West, the dark rogue reports back to her sweetheart.

"I could use the cure fairly soon, Belkior," Florin continues whacking away, scraps of wood litter the floor amidst chunks of undead flesh and bits of white bone.

The bard once again attempts to penetrate the wall, and once again fails in the attempt, ending back where he started [4 hp damage].
"Cursed" he mutters under his breath."Xenia's gone scouting behind me, there's a cleric back there somewhere" he calls out to his companions.
The bard slips a vial from his belt pouch, pulls the stopper out with his teeth and downs the contents with a single swallow. The almond flavored liquid takes effect immediately and the bard's bruises and scrapes begin to heal [Cure Mod Wounds=11]

The halfling cleric scuttles back over to Florin. Belkior reaches out and casts a healing spell upon the undead hunter. The Cure Serious Wounds spell heals Florin so that he can stay in the fight for some time.

Feeling a tap on his shoulder, the elf turns around braced for an attack. Seeing the Minotaur he smiles reassuringly and gives a thumbs up before resuming the attack on the undead in front of him. (Attack 37,25,31,24,31 Damage 21,18,18,16,13=86)
Stepping over the dead undead (does that make sense?), Syr makes another move forward and peers around either corner looking for that piece of machinery which he saw earlier.

Boldly, Xenia flies up at ceiling level, hovering over the undead, blinking in and out of the realm of shadows, hiding in plain sight. She ends her move over a robed figure in L14. She sees something odd -- the cleric, but not the three other robed figures with him, also has a grey cord that leads back toward the east.
Still wounded, Florin hits a fresh undead -- again for for 32 damage.
Wynn again tries to blink through the secret door, again materializing in the substance, rather than in the space behind it. He draws a potion and drinks.
Belkior heals Florin.
Brahmah motions to Syr to let him know that the Taur does not wish to squeeze into the narrow corridor before him. Maybe Syr will step back?
But Syr is unwilling to give up any hard-won ground. The monk destroys another undead and steps forward to the intersection. He sees the Blade Barrier ... and that he will have to squeeze past it to go further. He also sees undead to the north and south, ready to attack when he comes close. If he engages them with melee, he will have to do so while squeezing.
Harley stays ready to fight.
The Enemy
Wounded undead 16 -- damaged badly by Florin -- withdraws. Another undead takes its place with a charge: Those three attacks miss, though two come close.
Xenia sees that all the clerics are working to free the one who is gooped up. They draw daggers and are trying to scrape it away.

"Brahmah," Florin spares a glance at the situation behind him. "If you step over Belkior, you may be able to attack over my head. It won't be as convenient for you, but you won't be at risk of coming in contact with the disease."
Florin continues in his duty. His blows rain stronger upon this new undead. With hopes, this one will fall as from Wynn's description of Xenia's observations, their numbers seem legion. The Shields may be in for a battle of some considerable time.
(OoC Translation. You could move 5 ft north and still occupy the same space as Belkior and take a penalty for Squeezing, but still attack over Florin's head.)

"Wynn, this place is crawly with deaders. So far I only see four magickers, though. They're all clumped in this one spot."
"I'm gonna foozle 'em, Wynn." The rogue comes to a decision. "I can do this."
Blinking in and out of the Wold in the cover of shadow, she speaks a word that her wand knows, and with that word, flicks a tiny Splash of Acid at one of the nearby magickers becoming visible for a brief moment in the process. Even before registering the success of her hit, Xenia moves. She flees over the head of the Tangle Goo coated cleric, for all eyes to see headed back up the corridor down which she had come. Then she dives back into shadow and is gone. Hidden in the indistinct darkness, she banks and turns, back tracking to the corner from which she had begun her maneuver and eyeing the sea of enemies for anyone who might have spotted her ruse.

Syr Ac 35/34 HP 142 Friday November 28th, 2008 5:03:06 PM
Syr sticks his head out but not so far as to enter the blades and looks around. When he turns back to Brahmah, he shakes his head. Pointing north, he then signals with three fingers. That motion is followed by pointing south and displaying 7 fingers (OOC: I guess that he could only see 5 when looking around the corner.) He then shrugs at the minotaur and jogs back to assist Florin next round.
He lightly taps the paladin on the shoulder and asks, "Want to swap, I've been lucky so far and we may need to save Belk's spells for later?" If Florin moves to the side, He will take the paladin's spot on the map, otherwise he will be in H6.

At a loss for what to do, the minotaur wants to continue to help Syr, but doesn't want to deal with a narrow tunnel again, not even sure he can fit with the action going on in front.
He looks off to his left and sees Belkior and Florin dealing with their numbers. He moves back to H6/G6, and attempts to attack #17. (HIts AC 37, for 12 damage)

The bard tries once again to slip through the wall, and this time he is successful. He immediately attacks the undead closest to him with his adamantine sword. [Hit AC=20 for 8 HP; passed miss chance (23); Undead does not get dex bonus to AC].

Florin Jadenth AC:27/29 vs Undead HP:69/134 (Sub/Al) Saturday November 29th, 2008 9:34:58 AM
"Alright. Get ready to switch, Syr." Through the eye slits in his visor, Florin stares down the undead as though willing it to give up its unnatural existance and drop to the floor.
"We'll change places on my mark, Syr. Count of three. One. Two. Three. Go."

The Heros
The pattern continues, as Florin power attacks a fresh undead -- but fails to destroy it, while inflicting 42 damage. Then he takes a five foot step back to let Syr take his place.
Xenia's Turn (For Wynn and Xenia only!) Highlight to display spoiler: {More boldly still, Xenia shoots a splash of acid from her wand at an enemy caster, hitting for 23 hp damage. She fakes in one direction then hides and doubles back, putting her impressive Hide check to good use.}
Brahmah takes a step northwest and reaches over Florin's head to hit the undead the undead hunter just wounded. The minotaur takes it down!
Syr looks around, then moves to step into Florin's spot.
Wynn blinks through the wall!
Xenia's Turn (For Wynn and Xenia only!) Highlight to display spoiler: {Wynn sees undead to his south, but none to his north. The two to his south lack grey cords ... Wynn might suspect that these are the two who he attacked earlier. They are not stunned, but they seem very eager to attack Wynn, as soon as he makes his presence known. He attacks and hits the undead next to him, inflicting 8 hp damage -- without dex, it is AC15.}
A note to blinkers! You know, of course, that per the item description, "On command, this ring makes the wearer blink, as with the blink spell." That mean the CL7 item must be reactivated after the seven-round blink duration has lapsed, if you choose to keep blinking. No worries on that score yet, but something to keep in mind. Also, moving through something is a move action, not a standard action, although if you fail to move through something, your movement ends -- exactly as Wynn has been playing it.
Belkior heals Florin again.
Harley continues to stand ready. [DM OOC: It's been a week Sunday since Harley posted. Has anyone heard from Matt C? Is he okay? I'll e-mail him.]
The Enemy
What Wynn sees (For Wynn only, and Xenia if the bard tells her, which he surely will). Highlight to display spoiler: {The cordless undead next to Wynn attacks him: a bite against AC21; a claw against AC28; another claw against AC32. The last is a potential critical ... but the follow-up only hits AC18. That's two potential hits, but the bard's 50% miss chance nullifies one of those. Wynn is hit for the minimum 5 hp damage, and he must make a fort save vs DC20 or be infected.}
For the Rest of the Party Only, Not Xenia and Wynn! Highlight to display spoiler: {No undead steps up to attack Syr. In fact, the one undead the monk can see at I4 backs away so that it is more than a five-foot step from the lethal monk, and out of sight.}
Xenia sees a funny thing. But she can communicate it ONLY to Wynn, and he cannot communicate it to the rest of the party! Therefore, the following is in spoiler tags for Wynn and Xenia only to read!
Please Highlight to display spoiler: {There is movement among the undead as a few come closer to fill in gaps. The undead, with the exception of the two cordless ones, reach up and grope around in the space above them and in the space next to them to the east (or north if there is wall to the east).
Per the DMG (see Invisibility under Special Abilities in the SRD): A creature can grope about to find an invisible creature. A character can make a touch attack with his hands or a weapon into two adjacent 5-foot squares using a standard action.
Each undead gropes around in two places. The clerics wait, evidently ready to cast spells it Xenia is found. But in L14, she is not above any of the undead.
Then the clerics grope. C1 gropes last, since he is the main caster, and hopes to cast a spell rather than grope. So, for reasons that are known only to the DM, C2 gropes and fails to find Xenia. C3 then gropes, and he DOES have a chance to locate the rogue. First, his miss chance of 50% -- an 18% -- he misses! Then it is C4's turn. He too can potentially find Xenia. His miss chance is a 68! He might find her! He needs to make a touch attack vs AC15 ... AC14! He missed! Xenia remains unfound!
Rather than grope around himself, caster C1 choses to cast a spell -- it is Obscuring Mist.
Wynn and Xenia -- please communicate in spoilers or e-mail only!}

Wynn and DM Only: Highlight to display spoiler: {"Wynn??? You alright, Honey?" The Wold is cloaked in uncertain fog, and the dark rogue bites at her lower lip in a gesture of deep misgiving.
Triggering the wand again, she aims at the same target that she hit last time, but this time scoring a hit directly into is face and eyes, a critical place for a strike. But the placement of the is not quite as devastating in this fog. Kicking off of the eastern wall, she shoots straight west before disappearing into the shadows just above her target.
"You will die in this place. Forsaken by your god." The rogue's voice is whisper from the dark, heading west down the corridor, then she banks, a sharp corner angle. Then again, and again, Xenia arcs in a circle that winds up directly over her target. Silent, she hides above it in the shadows.
"Wynn? You alright out there?"

They might be taking another tunnel around... wait..." He looks around just realizing two were missing. "...wait, where's the girl and that Wynn guy? How'd they get out?

Florin stretches abit and feels abit tired from all the fighting that he has just done.

The halfling cleric watches the doorways, expecting to see undead come charging through. When they don't, Belkior glances at his companions to determine how they are holding out. Then he concentrates for a moment on the magical connection to Xenia.
The Paragon then points vaguely off to the south-southeast and speaks.
"I don't know about Wynn, but Xenia is down that way about 35 feet. And maybe 5 feet or so above the floor. She isn't hurt or injured in any way."
"Let's wait and see what she and Wynn can tell us. Maybe the undead will keep coming to us, or maybe we'll have to go after them."

Highlight to display spoiler: {The bard recoils as he is struck by the undead. Whether it is something in his elvish blood, or just intuition he does not know, but that he has been infected by the tendrils that afflict Jonas, he is sure [fort=12/14; failed even with hero point].
Wynn reacts in anger, at himself for exposing himself to this fate, and at the undead before him. He lashes out twice, his blade flickering between the ephemeral and material Wolds [Hit AC = 22 and 23 for 7 and 12 HP respectively; Miss chance = 66 and 51, both pass]
"Xenia", her reaches out mentally to his lover. "Get yourself to safety. I'll try to hold them here...I...I think I'm infected."

The elf nods at Brahmah, "Don't worry about her Xenia does that disappearing act all the time. Typical woman that likes to be mysterious. Although Wynn typically hangs with us until she gets back. I'm not sure what's going on there..." Syr moves forward 10' and reports the head count of any undead that he sees.

"I'll head for that Control Room place, Wynn. That's where the cure's gotta be. It's just gotta. And with all the deaders and magickers here already the Control Room's gotta be pretty much empty."
"You gotta tell the others where I'm going. We might have to move fast and break through to the other side. I'll find the cure, Wynn. I will."

Xenia and Wynn
Highlight to display spoiler: {Xenia hits C3 again for 6 damage, or a total of 29. C3 is still up, but very wounded. Xenia taunts the casters and then flies about, ending her move silently at K14.
Wynn attacks! He hits twice, inflicting another 19 damage (27 total -- the creature is about half down). Wynn ponders the wisdom of retreating back to the party ... he knows that even though infected, it will be many hours, or days, before he even starts to show symptoms. Although he does not know when he will become infectious, that is, when his touch will be able to spread the disease.}
Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin
Highlight to display spoiler: {In the small chamber, Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin enjoy a tense but nervous respite from attack.
Brahmah is concerned about the now-absent Wynn and Xenia.
Florin reassures the minotaur.
Harley steps up to the corridor to the east and keeps watch. He sees a few strands of smoke or mist in M10.
Belkior consults his Status spell and determines that Xenia is in square K14 and is unwounded. He advises patience.
Syr moves up ten feet, and sees that there are at least four undead another 20 feet to the west.}
The Enemy
For Xenia and Wynn: Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead fighting Wynn continues to do so: all three attacks miss!
The undead and the clerics shuffle a bit so that each cleric is next to an undead. Then they grope around for the hiding rogue.
An undead reaches high into k14 and gropes around: a 26! That's a chance to hit! Then a touch attack -- which is, as the DM reflects, also subject to the 50% miss chance due to blinking. And as the undead gropes up, Xenia blinks away.
After the undead fail to find Xenia, the clerics give it a try. But first C1 casts a cure on C3. That provokes an AoO that Xenia might choose to take advantage of ... if she has a weapon handy, and if she chooses to reveal herself by so doing. I'll assume not.
C1 casts a cure, and C3 regains 21 hp. He is now down 8 hp.
The other clerics grope around. Another 50-50 chance for Xenia ... nope! She remains unseen.}
For the Rest of the Party Only, Not Xenia and Wynn! Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead watch Syr, but do not advance. Xenia remains unwounded.}

Florin looks to the others and thinks over things before speaking, "Well, if we knew that there wasn't to many left I would say we could move out but who knows how many more we might run into."
Florin frowns some as he continues thinking over everything, "However if we can keep the hallways blocked then we could easily fall back here again couldn't we?"
Florin shrugs and looks to Syr and the others to see their thoughts, if nothing else they could leave say Brahmah and someone back in this area just incase they need to fall back once more.

Xenia and Wynn
Highlight to display spoiler: {Xenia decides to strike off for the control room. She figures, based on her past travel, that she has about four minutes to go at top speed, blinking through obstacles. She follows the grey cords, moving fast.
[OOC: The DM notes that in the past, he allowed Xenis to blink through the walls when travelling toward the control room without requiring checks for appearing in a solid. However, he inconsistently did require such checks, following Wynn's lead, during the fight. In order to reconcile the discrepency, and for the sake of fairness to all, the DM rules that in combat, blinking through a solid that is exactly five feet thick dies require a check, but that out of combat, the blinker is better able to concentrate and time her movements, so no check is required. The DM hopes that this sounds fair. If not, please speak up.]
Wynn attacks again, hitting for 10 more (total 37). The bard tries to blink back, but fails. And boy does his head hurt!}
Brahmah, Syr, Harley, Belkior, and Florin
Highlight to display spoiler: {Syr advances, and the others hold the chamber in his absence..
Brahmah seems content to wait it out.
Florin seems careful, but considers the option of pressing forward to attack.
Syr moves forward to attack, and strikes hard at an undead for 14 damage. DM OOC: I advanced Syr on the map to F4.
Harley stays where he is and urges someone to keep an eye on Syr.
Belkior heals Florin a little more. His spell tells him that Xenia has moved off, fast, to the east.}
The Enemy
For Xenia and Wynn: Highlight to display spoiler: {The undead fighting Wynn continues to do so. The undead is still frisky, and it tries to bite and claw the bard. The teeth snap short, but the two claws hit, and the bard's blinking does not shield him. Wynn takes 6 and 9, for a total of 15 damage.
Xenia is not sighted or engaged by the enemy, at least not in the first round of her 40-round passage!}

Wynn retreats from the undead before him and finally blinks through the jammed door and back into the room where his companions were. "Stay away! Don't touch me!" he orders them. "I've been infected by whatever foul disease affects these undead...Xenia is headed for the control room. She thinks that whatever controls all these undead is in there. The hallway behind me is lined with undead, and there are at least two clerics further down where Xenia was scouting."
The bard reached for his belt pouch and consumes a potion found there. A wave of healing sweeps through his body. (CMW: 13 hp)

Florin glances down to Belkior and smiles to him before speaking, "Thanks Belkior for the healing. I think I'm good for now. Best to save some of your healing for later."
Florin has been wondering and calls out toe Syr, "Syr, hold up a moment. i been wanting to find out if these things can take arrows or not."
Florin speaks once more to Belkior, "I'm just dropping my sword and shield so watch out."
Florin will drop his sword and shield for the moment and get his bow ready for use.
(Dropping a weapon should be free action right and pulling and readying a weapon a full action? DM, move accordingly here please.)
Florin does call back out of curiousity, "Wynn, you said some undead unfriendlies are back that way you came. About how many, guess if nothing else please." Florin just wants an idea of how many more the group has to attend with at the moment.
Wynn [AC=26; HP=51/75] Blinking Thursday December 11th, 2008 8:43:25 PM
The bard thinks for a moment, "I saw at least three lined up in the hallway, but Xenia had a bunch more down around the corner. If I had to guess I'd say about ten in total. Two of the ones near me didn't have chords any more but they still fought!"
"What's our plan?" he calls out to Syr and the others.
Syr Ac 35/34 HP 135/142 e4 d20=9 ; Friday December 12th, 2008 12:21:51 AM
Hearing Florin's voice, the monk does as suggested and moves forward adjacent to the undead by skirting the wall (move 10'). If one of Florin's arrows comes near, he attempts to deflect it out of harm's way.
"Wynn, good to hear from you again. How about we let Florin test his theory first and then slowly take the fight to the enemy in teams of 2? Maybe Belk and Florin, you and I, and then Brahmah and Lang?" He smiles back to the others, "Anyone have any better ideas? What's Xenia say?"
Enemy in Retreat - Round 9 (DM Cayzle) Friday December 12th, 2008 8:43:10 AM
Syr advances to E4 and presses against the wall so Florin can shoot.
Florin drops his weapons (free action) and draws his bow (move action). He takes a shot at the undead in front of him -- with no penalty or cover bonus to the undead, even though Syr is in the way, because Syr took his whole round's action to make room for a clear shot.
Florin, please roll your attack. The undead is AC20. You can also post your next round's action at the same time. If you hit, you do normal damage.
Wynn, back with the party, asks about the plan.
Brahmah steps up, but does not squeeze into the corridor.
Harley and Belkior stay ready.
Xenia keeps flying.
The enemy undead -- including the one that may or may not have been hit my Florin's arrow -- retreat away around the bend. You might see a glimpse of one around the corner (see map).

Florin takes aim and fires a arrow at the undead.
(Can hit AC:28 Damage:6)
(OOC:Ignore the other rolls, wasn't thinking about how the undead moved around the corner so out of line of sight.)
Florin nods and will ready himself to move out, stowing his bow and grabbing up his sword and shield once more (I'm figureing he will have time to do this sine the enemy isn't exactly trying to rip us apart.)
Florin does call out so everyone knows for sure, "It seems arrows hurt these things well also so it might be a good idea to keep this in mind. Some of us might not have to put ourselves in direct infection trouble so quickly."
Florin does glance back to Wynn and speaks to him or atleast down the hall he is, "Hey Wynn, if needed I'll use my remove disease after this is over, so don't worry."

Florin frowns as the undead and the cleric come around the corner and tries to fight off the spell that is cast at him but is unable too.
Depending on the spell effects though Florin will make moves to get up there to aid Syr.
(Not sure if Florin can make a move after the spell so didn't want to go into a great deal of details on his movements. I can add to it depending on the spell or the DM can just move Florin.)

Syr jumps as the undead places itself in frnt of him. As he hears the priest chanting a spell, he wishes briefly for Brahmah's long reach to be able to affect the caster. Instead he steps forward and lays into the undead in front of him. (Attack 22,37,29,29,28 Damage 19,22,17,13,14=85)

Wynn hesitates a moment as the cleric casts his spell. Unsure what to expect the bard turns his mind to distracting the cleric from his evil intent. No longer blinking, he begins singing a ludicrous nursery rhyme about an elephant wearing a ladies bonnet. Mid-stanza, the bard hurls a small raspberry tart at the cleric to complete his spell

Belkior recognizes what spell the cleric cast but has no immediate method of dealing with it. He will simply have to watch Florin for any sign of the undead hunter being charmed.
So, instead, he decides to inconvenience the opposing cleric. He moves up right behind Syr and then invokes the divine light of Alemi. Hopefully his faith is enough to turn some of these undead.

Some Enchanted Evening ... Round 12 (DM Cayzle) d20+15=23 Wednesday December 17th, 2008 12:27:57 AM
Xenia keeps flying.
Brahmah feels frustrated at the tight confines. He steps forward into the corridor.
Florin fails to act at this point. (Sorry, my friend ... your initiative now comes with the enemies.)
Syr steps up five feet and destroys an undead creature.
Harley moves to I5 and gets ready to defend.
Wynn casts an enchantment of his own. The enemy cleric has a base Will save of +8 and has a +5 wis bonus and a magic circle against good that gives him another +2. His total Will save mod is a +15 for a DC14 spell ... he'll fail on a 1.Nope, the spell fails.
And he has spell resistance, per the spell, of 24, but that's moot seeing as he saved.
Belkior sends two of the undead scurrying away as he turns undead.
THE ENEMIES
The caster concentrates (a move action to command Florin) and then moves off 30 feet around that corner.
Florin feels compelled to follow the caster, and travels up to 60 feet to do so. The undead let him pass as if he were an ally.
A couple undead stay behind to act as rearguards. They are 15 feet from Syr.

Yelling back to the others, "Guys, something's up with our undead hunter. I need everyone to me now."

Syr races after Florin, knocks down an undead creature, and is forced to stop in front of another.
Wynn reactivates his ring, tries to race through a wall, but is unable to.
Brahmah follows Syr,
Harley and Belkior are too shocked by Florin's departure to react?
Brahmah, you still have a standard action if you choose to take it. Note that you are standing right next to a prone undead (under Syr).

Chasing Florin ... Round 14 and combat ends (DM Cayzle) Monday December 22nd, 2008 4:13:02 PM
Brahmah attacks a prone undead, cutting deeply into the thing.
Belkior turns one undead away (last round) and then severely damages a number of other undead while healing his friends, due to a mass cure. It especially hurts several of the previously wounded undead who had withdrawn after being wounded.
Wynn attempts to chase after Florin, but is once again foiled by his fickle flickering magic.
Harley follows Brahmah, ready to fight.
Syr gives chase, using pushing past and tumbling around the enemy. He is lucky that Belkior's actions opened up enough holes in the enemy ranks that it is possible to find a path almost all the way to Florin and the enemy cleric. It takes his whole move to do so, though, and he ends up five feet from the enemy leader.
Florin, who had time to grab his weapons before he started following the priest, helplessly follows the cleric into the mass of undead. When Belkior casts his mass heal, Florin sees several wounded undead fall lifeless. And he sees Syr round the corner and come up fast.
========
Xenia notices that several of the grey strands she is following snuff out. Then another bunch also disappear. There are still a number left, enough for her to follow to the Control Room.
========
The enemy cleric is clearly angry at these events. he motions his followers closer. Then he sneers at Syr. "You have tasted a portion of my strength. Do not follow me to my place of power. Or you too will end up serving the New Dominion of Great Ga'al! Take your freedom and go!"
Then he takes a five foot step back. As he casts a spell, the other clerics and several undead touch the hem of his robe. The spell is a Word of Recall, and it teleports the enemy away.
Other undead, not taken by the spell, use the withdraw action to run away.
Florin feels no compulsion any longer.
DM Note: I was going to make a map, but at this point, it seems moot.
There is the prone wounded undead, which I'll assume you destroy. There are two wildish undead roaming around too -- the two whose cords were sundered by Wynn. I'll assume you can kill those easily enough, as well.
We are out of combat. Consider the next minute or so. Actions?

"Why not use that one [referring to the prone one... ifs its still anchored by the cord] and use it to either foloow or learn how it functions to more easily destroy any more in the future. I am not one to suggest study and usually kill things, but I have realized, working with this group, I need to change my skills a bit." He smiles like a calf playing in a meadow. "I really think I need to get out of this confined tunnel system. The myth about our people liking mazes is not entirely accurate." He looks at the prone and struggling corpse.

Wynn [AC=26; HP=66/75] Blinking Monday December 22nd, 2008 11:54:33 PM "Belkior got them!" the bard responds telpathically to his sweetheart. The head cleric just dissappeared...left Florin behind...warned us not to follow him to his place of power. Be careful near the control room, I think that might be where he is headed. "
Brahmah, Captain of the Chosen of Domi (AC 25, Hps 103/126) Alarm (in I5 square) Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 7:57:43 AM
Brahmah shrugs and leans against a wall.
Syr Ac 35/34 HP 135/142 L7 d20+18=27 ; 3d8+8=21 ; Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 7:40:35 PM
Syr grunts to himself as the cleric's false bravado before fleeing. He mutters, "Now if you were so powerful, then why flee?" Hearing Brahmah's comments, he nods, "Sound thinking, without our guide, it will be tougher to discover the control room." If necessary he charges and uses a single foot strike (subdual) on the creature." (attack 27, damage 21)
Looking back at his friend he calls to him, "Florin, you okay? I mean, are you ...you? That was a bit bizarre for a second there. How are you feeling?" He stares intently into the paladin's eyes. Assuming everything is fine, "Hey big guy, since you are so eager to walk around with these guys, why don't you carry this dead weight that will lead us to the heart. Wynn can follow right phasing in/out to keep us on the right path."
"Brahmah, you mentioned earlier that you were curious about our connections to Ga'al. To sum it up very briefly, we fought a quartet that had been heartseeded, a dragon that was about to be and helped prevent a village from being heartseeded over near where Wynn grew up. Actually, Wynn's generally better at this storytelling thing. I'm just a bit abrupt. Anyway, from what I can tell the heartseed allows someone to control your actions. I'm not sure how it relates to these characters other than the fact that the city council asked us to take care of this before it became too big of a problem."
(OOC: Jay, as far as getting a refresher on these things, we haven't fought these type of undead before this module, it was limited to a few vamps and zombies.)
Florin Jadenth AC:27/29 vs Undead HP:125/134 Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 9:08:35 PM
Active effects: Cloak of Displacement (minor: 20% miss chance) Aura of Courage (Immune to fear and +4 morale bonus to everyone in 10ft against fear effects.) Divine Health (Immune to diseases, even super natural ones) Life Shield+2 (Bonus to AC vs Undead) Magic Circle vs Evil *From Belkior* Barkskin (20mins from Xenia) Bull's Strength (12mins)
Florin frowns as he finally comes to his senses and regains control of himself. Looking to Syr who is speaking to him and looking into his eyes, Florin nods and speaks to him, "I think I am fine but I'm worried about what the cleric did. I mean odviously it was a spell effect so if we confront him again is the spell broken or can he reinact it again."
Florin allows the group to regroup more and in this time poses this question to Belkior who might have a better idea, "Belkior, I do not know the spell that was cast so can it be redone without casting when we meet the cleric again or will he have to recase it for it to work?"
Florin wonders if there is anything he can do to counter the spell or give himself a better chance of it not working on him again.
Belkior - (AC 24 (26 vs. evil); HP 52/91) - Magic Circle vs. Evil, Purifying Aura, Prayer d20+8=25 ; d20+15=20 ; d20+10=13 ; d20+10=14 ; d20+10=23 ; Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 10:19:04 PM
The halfling cleric looks around at his companions before speaking.
"We have no choice, really, do we? We were tasked with removing this threat to the Float and we need to do so."
"I like Brahmah's idea of following the cords. If nothing else, they will take us someplace interesting."
Belkior turns to Florin in response to the undead hunter's questions. The Paragon moves over to examine Florin before speaking.
"Hmmm ... from what I recognized, that spell was something called Dominate Person. Usually it is cast by arcane casters but clerics who worship Ga'al can cast it, too. Of course, unless he was lying, the cleric did say that he was part of the New Dominion of Great Ga'al." Knowledge Arcane = 25 Knowledge Religion = 20
"Of course, the spell should still be active. Unless, of course, he went to another plane but Word of Recall won't do that. So, with your permission, can I attempt to remove the spell?"
If permitted, Belkior will cast Dispel Magic repeatedly from his wand, hoping to break the enchantment spell.
Florin Jadenth AC:27/29 vs Undead HP:125/134 Wednesday December 24th, 2008 9:14:15 PM
Active effects: Cloak of Displacement (minor: 20% miss chance) Aura of Courage (Immune to fear and +4 morale bonus to everyone in 10ft against fear effects.) Divine Health (Immune to diseases, even super natural ones) Life Shield+2 (Bonus to AC vs Undead) Magic Circle vs Evil *From Belkior* Barkskin (20mins from Xenia) Bull's Strength (12mins)
Florin looks to Belkior and nods to him before speaking, "As long as it won't effect my armor or nothing then okay." Florin has no real idea of how certain magics work on other magics since his learning of clerical spells is pretty much the very basics.
Florin waits to see what Belkior is able to do but otherwise speaks to Syr, "I like the idea of regrouping and moveing on quickly. We have them on the run and usually thats the best time to continue to strike isn't it?"
Florin does think it might be best to strike some from the distance but if the control room is large enough then they could attack easier too however the enemy would beable to also, it all kind of depends on the amount of enemies left to face. Florin really isn't happy about the idea of fighting more then one of the clerics like he had just met since the cleric might beable to take control of him or even more of the group.
