Trellus Wednesday February 4th, 2009 8:30:09 AM
Trellus is so stunned by what he hears that he completely forgets Tishe's advice about Domi.
PREPARE
"Right here?" Trellus blurts aloud. "Or some other part of this complex?"
Vayine AC27 HP 89/89 {endure elements) Wednesday February 4th, 2009 8:43:52 AM
upon hearing the others shout about a bright light,Vayine pulls his smoked glass goggles over his eyes. when the voice echoes into his head vayine kneels before the voice of a god showing respect to the speaker. after a moment the Drow looks to Trellus, awaiting an answer to the clerics question.
"The way is safe, the way is clear. We will keep it clear for the champions."...[DM StevenVdB] Wednesday February 4th, 2009 9:56:23 AM
No more answers are given... better listen to what the Powers are saying?
Trellus Wednesday February 4th, 2009 10:12:55 AM
"You think if they wanted defended so badly, they could help us out," the blond man grouses. Trellus sighs loudly and then shakes his head, physically clearing away the wish while moving on to reality.
"OK, we'll do it right here.
Now, if we get even 5 or 10 minutes warning time, we can weave a mess of spells to get ready. But I don't wanna cast 'em now, because they don't last very long. So, what I need from you sneaky scout types is some ideas on how we get that 5 minutes."
YanoshDarkvision d20+2=11 ; d20+1=6 ; Wednesday February 4th, 2009 11:20:01 AM
The warrior in him rises as the cleric seems to be indoubt. Yanosh states grimly, "The complex is a wheel. The portal rooms are as spokes to that wheel. If we can set alarms and traps at the base of the spokes then we will gain the needed time to prepare spells. But not all creatures may set off the traps and mundane alarms."
The Dwarf looks around the room thinking how it can be defended. With a thought Yanosh asks Tishe' "The Wheel crosses the way back to OddHolme from here Can you block it on both sides? It will cause what ever to come to us through here. And nothing to get behind us and sneek into our home."

Tishe' (AC 19 HP 70/70) (Mage Armor, Longstrider) Wednesday February 4th, 2009 5:08:57 PM
With the words of her chosen Powers in her head, Tishe' is fully prepared to prepare. But she also agrees with Trellus, that limited duration spells must be hoarded until there is notification of impending attack.
"Maybe on first notice that whatever is coming is coming, we should begin a slow withdrawl while casting defensive spells until we're buffed and then attack?"

Olaf d20+8=28 ; Wednesday February 4th, 2009 6:39:07 PM
Olaf hurries to the four (?) entrances of the room, rapidly attempting to set a pair of trip wires at each--one above head height, one at foot height [craft trapmaking 28 (nat 20)]. "That might give us an extra moment er two..."
Gilan [extended longstrider] [blindsense 20'] Wednesday February 4th, 2009 11:37:43 PM
With the sensitivity of his eyes he is glad to find a slightly darker place to perch. He listens with the rest as the voice booms to them and he cannot help but shiver. Without another thought he takes to the air to wing down and land upon the shoulder of Trellus, which makes for a funny sight as bats are not meant to stand. Or maybe it is just the fact that a bat of about a foot in length is purchased upon the cleric's shoulder. "What if those we are to protect come down one of these tunnels to us?" His voice is slightly higher pitch and could still be hard on ears, but his concerns are valid as he is not sure if this is a portal. Were they not to protect those that were to protect the aborning child.
His head is tilted slightly to the side as he looks to Trellus, a somewhat apologetic look upon his rodent face at the state of his voice.

Everyone heard the word to prepare yet hope more details will be given. Trellus voices their thoughts by asking who what where questions... Vayine awaits the answers of the Powers but no answers are given...
Grumbling about the Powers silence and vague orders Trellus decides this Central Portal is the place to protect. Knowing the Pack should hold on to spells untill they are alerted about the presence of the fiends he asks for advice from the sneaky types... how to alert them when something has entered the Portal Complex.
The Warrior in Yanosh rizes and suggest to create traps or alarms at the base of every spoke. This complex is nothing but a giant wheel so it could be feasible - if there is enough time.
Tishe' and Gilan both voice their thoughts and concerns while Olaf installs trip wires near every entrance to the Central Chamber...
Grunting about the bright light Grymash is puzzled at the orders to prepare... who? What? Where? From what?
----------------------------------------
Silence...
...
About an hour later the bright light in the depression suddenly flashes!!
OH NO!!!!
Again you all heard the voice... Suddenly it is completely dark as the light is gone as if someone pulled the plug!!
THEY ARE HERE!!
These words send shivers down your spine... one final warning... but still it is quiet in the complex...
Wardrums...? The sound of rolling drums resonates through the Complex and seems to roll down from every spoke... Now as everything is completely dark the sound is horryfeying
...
they are here...
Trellus (AC 27, 93/93 hp, SR 24, Neutralize Poison, Freedom of Movement, Shield of Faith, Magic Vestmentx2, Status) Thursday February 5th, 2009 10:56:38 AM
Gilan lands on his shoulder and Trellus shrugs at the question. "We can't attack unless attacked, I guess." The blond man looks more closely at the druid, and breaks into a grin.
"You definitely need to try that look on the girls," he suggests mischieviously, "I bet they love it."
---
Darkness, drums, panicked voices from the powers...... "Shady," Trellus growls, his tone indicating the situation is anything but. "Looks like we got our warning."
Trellus gets working, first pulling out his old holy symbol, and tossing the silver hammer toward the center of the room [Hammer has Continual Light cast on it]
Then, he pulls a wand and taps everyone but Gilan with it. [Neutralize Poison]
He pauses at Flea to lay a hand on her, intoning "May Domi protect you" [Protective Ward: +11 on next save. Expires in one hour.]
He casts a spell on Vayine [Bulls Strength - duration 12 minutes]
Another on Grymash. "You're gonna LOVE this one, dude" [Stoneskin - damage reduction 10/adamantine, 120 hp limit, 120 minute duration]
And lastly, himself. [Freedom of Movement, Shield of Faith, Spell Resistance]
"That oughtta do it" he notes with grim satisfaction.

After the wait where Tishe' tries to maintain an alert calmness over herself and Wart, there comes
Darkness!
And VOICES THEY ARE HERE!!
Standing in the suddenly much smaller illumination of her Light spell, Tishe' stands and looks around. "They are here? Where are they?" And sudden insight. "They must be coming from a secondary Portal, and we need to keep the OddHolme Portal safe. WE ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!"
Nevertheless, Tishe' keeps a bit of her head and doesn't run off. Instead, she follows Trellus' lead and also starts sending out spells of protection for her packmates.
Daylight blazes from her Staff of Ice, enabling everyone to see 120 feet in all directions.
Cat's Grace is placed on herself.
Stoneskin is placed on Vayine. "May Ma'abs protection keep you safe, sweetie", she tells the black elf.
See Invisible is cast on herself.

Gilan [extended longstrider, status, greater magic fang] [blindsense 20'] Thursday February 5th, 2009 6:26:23 PM
Gilan gives a bat smile to Trellus and chuckles, though it comes out more as a high pitched shriek and then there was more light. At least this time it is not as bright as before and does not sting his eyes.
As the others start to prepare themselves for combat, Gilan does the same. Leaving Trellus's shoulder he moves around to land on first Olaf's and then Grymash's shoulders in turn. At each one he casts a simple spell on each, toughening their skin and turning it slightly barky. As he settles in at the ceiling he casts on last spell upon himself with some satisfaction.

Thanking Trellus and Gilan for the protective spells, Olaf casts protection from evil on himself, then Darkness on his lucky stone, held in his front belt pouch, finally followed by Toro's Taur Try. He then rapidly lowers his make-shift veil, looking to the four entrances, getting ready to sprint to where he might be needed.

Stepping into the dark Yanosh softly cast Bears Endurance on himself.
Once in the dark Yanosh intones the Blessings of Gargul on the Pack as he activates his tattoo, "Gargul Bless us." (If the Blessing works)

Grymash (ac30 hp121, barkskin, bullstrength, prot. from evil) Sunday February 8th, 2009 7:13:20 PM
Grymash growls at the words and the sound of the drums. He mutters a few unintelligible grunts that gives his hulkish frame a very minor glow for a few seconds before fading. (casting Protection from Evil on himself) Raising his double ax in a defensive posture, he prepares for what is to come next.
The Battle for the Central Portal commences...[DM StevenVdB] d100=47 ; d100=30 ; d100=27 ; Monday February 9th, 2009 3:32:17 AM Darkness, drums, panicked voices from the powers......
"Shady" Trellus growls and he immediately begins to casting several spells on himself and his companions.
Tishe' panicks since they can't see anyone! "WE ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!" she shouts. Not running off yet she follows Trellus's example by casting a few spells.
Smiling to TrellusGilan bat follows suit and cast a series of other spells on himself and his friends... by now the Pack has received some serious boosts!! Whatever will be attacking this portal will have a warm welcome!
Flea allows the spells to wash over her before activating her ring of Blinking... then she blinks in and out of existence and readies her Holy sward and most preferred wand.
Olaf too is pleased with all protective spells and adds a few of his own...
Yanosh too adds some extra spells to himself and then asks for the Blessing of Gargul for himself and his Pack. As he casts the Bear's Endurance he awaits the magic affecting his vitality and stamina but... he feels nothing... his spell has failed! When asking for the Blessing of his Pack Yanosh feels no effect either... has Gargul really abandoned him?!?

While the Pack prepared the sound of drums continues... a deep rumbling sound... rhythmic... the sound of a marching army... you almost feel the 'left -- right -- left -- right' as the drums continue...
The drums continue for almost 5 minutes... your hearts race faster and faster as the sound comes closer... it comes from every spoke from the Portal Complex...
Then suddenly on the opposite side of the Oddholme Entrance you can see movement!! Feel free to take any position on the map atm.
Trellus (AC 27, 93/93 hp, SR 24, Neutralize Poison, Freedom of Movement, Shield of Faith, Magic Vestmentx2, Status) Monday February 9th, 2009 10:10:54 AM
In the span of a long five minutes, Trellus starts thinking he prefers getting ambushed. This waiting pick is totally hard on the nerves.
Movement up ahead "Finally," the blond man growls. He holds his position.
"Gry, Yanosh, Vayine - can you move up and block the hallway? Tishe, how 'bout a little summoned help to go out there and give us an idea of what's coming?"

Tishe' also preps herself shortly before the arrival of the tramping feet (if possible) by taking a wand and casting Speak with Animals upon herself and Gilan. ......
Nodding, Tishe' brings her nerves back in control. "At least they are weaving towards us, so maybe we are in the right pick after all."
Taking a deep breath, Tishe' raises her arms and begins the complex casting to bring forth her celestial assistants. (full round: casting Summon Nature's Ally III spontaneously over Quench)

The waiting is agonizing and just as he is about to make a little circuit of the room, the enemy arrives. Baring his bat fangs from his spot on the ceiling he tries to gauge his place in this combat. If the enemy is dumb enough to come too far into the room and in some numbers, he knows exactly what he is going to do and how.
With that thought in mind he moves to place himself almost right in front of the way the enemy will be coming in. Now, it is all down to a waiting game again and this time he does not have to be bothered...the adrenaline rush is enough to keep him giddy with anticipation.

Grymash notices something strange about the magical energies he attempted to tap. (percentage roll 70%, fail) His connection with his lord is still too weak. His spell blinks out of existence. It both saddens and angers him. "Whooz be doin' dis?" The disgruntled half-orc takes up his position as directed to him. He is anxious find out who is doing this ... and remove their head!! "FINE ...

The Battle for the Central Portal - ROUND 1...[DM StevenVdB] (making hidden rolls) Tuesday February 10th, 2009 7:00:40 AM
5 minutes waiting is a long time... Trellus somehow feels content the enemy has finally arrived... He orders Gry, Yanosh and Vayine to move up the hallway and block the entrance while he advises Tishe' to summon some extra help.
Tishe' too feels 5 minutes take too long... she casts a simple spell so she can easily communicate with Gilan. Then once the enemy has arrived she nods to Trellus and begins the complex casting to bring forth her celestial assistants...
Olaf grins when Tishe' gives a sigh of relief that they are indeed in the right place. Then he cuts forward preparing to flank those who break through the first line of defense...
Vayine too acknowledges Trellus command and dashes forward (ooc please give me a location of your position -- thanks) and tries to identify what is coming towards them...
Waiting while listening to the rhythmic drums is agonizing for Gilan... and just as he is about to make a scenery tour of the Portal Chamber the enemy arrives... Rather than engaging right away he positions himself almost right in front of the way the enemy will be coming... now it's a waiting game...
Flea sweeps to the opposite side from Olag with a similar idea in her head... whatever comes through the corridor will have a warm welcome! She tries to discern clues that will help her identifying the enemy.
Gry is the first to detect the strange things that happen with the spells he casts. Only this time he does not fail (ooc : 50% chance of failure so everything above 50 is success no? Never know which way is success :-) If this is wrong that the three spells cast earlier by Gry and Yanosh all succeeded!) Scowling at those who block his link with Gargul he readies himself!
Yanosh is numbed at the sight of the enemy and the trouble of casting spells...
------------------------------------------
While the Bloodpack prepares the horde of enemies steadily continue their pace. Not trying to hide nor take actions against the Pack they just simply head for the Portal Chamber... Flea hears no speech but she can hear filthy squishy noises as the hoard approaches...
Gry and Vayine stand side by side as they watch the army approaching... They can at least spot 10 enemies approaching but by the sound of their feet it seems as though there are a lot more...
The shrunken and disfigured humanoid carcasses move at the sound of drums. The details of its shape are blurred beneath a coating of filth and grave dirt...
Yanosh AC22--HP81/81Darkvision d20+1=16 ; Tuesday February 10th, 2009 9:33:27 AM
Shaking his head Yanosh growles his frustration. Rushing to the for of the Pack Yanosh will not let this stop him from sending his enemy to see if Gargul is still around personally.
"Sorry Boss! Im with you." he states as he passes Trellus. War Axe at the ready Yanosh calls out to those that aproach, "Come and let me send you to Gargul."

Trellus nods grimly to himself. "They're undead," he says, if anyone else really doubted. "Tishe? It'd be real helpful if your summoned dude could show up and give us an idea of how twisted they are."
The cleric casts another spell on himself, enhancing his aura of religious power, and steps toward the approaching horde.

Driving her hand into her Sargrass Pants 'o Plenty Tishe' then comes up with her Bag of Tricks (move action). Throwing the little fuzzy ball in the fray (also at BB 35), the magic rapidly grows into a Brown Bear (d%: 22) that also focues on a single enemy to destroy.
"Let's see how they react to the bounty of Ma'ab!", Tishe' declares, her brown eyes flashing.
The wolves leap on the front four of the front undead (at BJ,35, BJ,37, BI,38, BI,37, BI,36), two certain to connect and pull thier quarry to the stones below. Wolf 1: AC 22 Dam 8 Trip: 26 (sent prone) Wolf 1: AC 14 Wolf 1: AC 15 Wolf 1: AC 24 Dam 8 Trip: 17 (to go prone) Wolf 1: AC 10

Flea takes a step forward in order to get a better view, but presses up against the wall in order to ensure she remains hidden (Hide=26).
"Don't let them into the room!" she whispers hoarsely, hoping her companions will hear her above the sickening footfalls of the enemy...and waits.

He watches as the wolves and bear charge forward but soon looses them as they pass beyond an area that he can see from. As he continues to wait he allows the others to take their own toll upon the enemy.

War axe ready he taunts those that approach.
Trellus pauses a moment to make sure the approaching horde are undead... seeing and hearing their erratic movement and squishy noises the cleric is pretty convinced they are as undead as they could be... His thoughts confirmed Trellus asks Tishe' to send her summoned creatures into the Undead horde so they can learn how twisted they are.
Vayine stands next to the Half-Orc readying himself and Gry to give those fools a taste of Blade and Axe...
Tishe' finishes her casting and 5 wolves come into existence. The mage immediately sends them all into battle!! Additionally she throws a little fuzzy ball into the fray... a Brown Bear with a craving for undead.
Olaf looks in shoČk at the violence Tishe' exhibits... he shrugs and awaits the creatures spawning into the Portal Chamber.
Flea continues to blink in and out of existence and positions herself so she can see something of the battle without being seen... even without hiding the undead would not spot her! There are plenty of Wolves to deal with first!
Gilan holds his position above the entrance... listening to the battle that takes place inside the tunnel... he would prefer the battle was elsewhere...
-----------------------------------
All wolves dash forward attacking the Undead.
Wolf 1 aims for #3 but must take an AoO from #1!! He yelps in agonizing pain as the creatures slams a fist into the Wolf! (hits AC18 -- Damage 13). Luckily the Wolf manages to bite #3 but his bite was less successful than expected... The creature makes a good effort but is still tripped (trip check 25vs26 - failed)
Wolf 2 rushes headlong in to the front ranks and with all his packmates behind him he is pushed into #4 exposing him to an AoO from #2... luckily #2 fails his attack (hits AC13).
Wolf 3 throws himself upon #1 but fails to connect.
Wolf 4 too snaps at #1 and succeeds in biting the undead freak! Again less damage is delivered and this time the Wolf fails to trip the creature (trip check 18vs17)... Wolf 4 makes a Reflex save DC18 or be prone (also fails on a roll of 1, 2 or 3).
Wolf 5 aims for #2 but fails to connect...
Then the Brown Bear comes in roaring madly and he as well lashes out at #1. One Claw and his bite miss gruesomely but he still manages to connect with his second Claw! Somewhat less damage but still a decent blow. Additionally the Brown Bear tries to pull the undead closer for a deadly embrace but impressively the creature manages to break the Bear's grapple! (grapple check 21vs19)
-----------------------------------
The Undead Horde roars as one as the Wolves begin their attack. Never the less, the Wolves don't seem to be able to stop their mindless assault for the Portal Chamber... Blocked by the Wolves the Undead begin bashing their way through...
#1 slams his fist into the Brown Bear who apparently holds the toughest punch but fails to slam through the thick hide of the bear (hits AC15)
#2 mindlessly strikes the wolf 5 right in front of him nearly smiting the animal with one single blow... (hits AC16 -- damage 14)
#3 tries to get up (move action and enabling Wolf 1) to make an AoO... once he's up he slams into Wolf 1 on his turn (hits AC21 -- damage 14)... already badly hit when he launched himself into the undead army the summoned Wolf fades out of existence and returns to the peaceful lands he came from...
#4 hits the Wolf 2 in front of him (hits AC27 -- damage 11)
#5 steps forward and in front of #3 where Wolf 1 stood moments ago. He lunges himself into the Brown Bear (hit AC18 -- damage 13)
#6 moves closer and smashes into Wolf 2 (hits AC29 -- damage 12) sending the wolf back where he came from!!
#7 also moves closes until he faces Wolf 4... roaring madly he slams into the poor animal bashing on the it's head loosening at least a few fangs... (hits AC24 -- damage 14)
Undead #8, #9 and #10 are simply continuing their march and seem to hold the line...
Those of you who are peering down the corridor suddenly see something large following the sickening undead creatures...
And while the battle rages... the drums continue to coordinate the armies approach...

Yanosh moves to stand next to Vayine. "Gargul let this work." he states and cast another spell on himself.
The dwarven cleric casts Hide from Undead. Feeling that yet another spell has failed him Yanosh sums up the courage to believe that his God has not trully forsaken him but is just unable to help them. The Dwarven Warrior Cleric hums with the drum beats.

Trellus watches the wolves and the bear. "Treadles aren't as hurt as they should be," he notes. "You dudes are gonna want holy or magical weapons, if you got 'em."
A quick word, and the cleric rises into the air, and flies over Grymash to the tunnel entrance. "Hold fast, I'm gonna try the power of Domi on this bunch," he tells the others.
[Activate Boots of Flying. Fly up 10', move to BC36. I assume Trellus has line of sight on all the undead coming up the tunnel?]

ooc: The wolf should be safe from a return trip attack, unless this is a special attack of the undead. "Trip (Ex): A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf."
Wolf #4 falls prone.
Tishe' winces in sympathy for her animal friends, finding solace in the fact that they are not really dead from the battle...
"They are faster than normal zombies also", she notes, "usually those undead are too slow to react fast in battle. And they are extremely well organized..."
The wolves continue the assault, taking small steps to concentrate on the wounded one in the herd of undead, seeking to bring it down, slashing with sharp teeth. Wolf 3: AC 14 Wolf 4: rises (with AOO) AC 12 (if wasn't tripped) Wolf 5: AC 20 Dam 9

Flea repositions in order to get a better view, then targets the enemy with her wand. She pauses momentarily at Trellus' command, but assumes a little magic wouldn't hurt! She is careful with her aim, not wanting to hurt the animal allies brought about by Tishe's magic. Though she manages to activate the wand (UMD=32) the magic that causes her to faze in and out of her environment results in the charge ending up somewhere entirely other than the the chamber of horrors inhabited by the undead army! (rolled a 3% (mischance))

"Gargul give us your blessing, sharpen our blades and our minds, and prepare for the feast we are about to send to you." Vayine shouts. His sword held high above his head as he calls on Gargul for his blessing. And braces himself for a charge.
(Vayine casts Bless, all allies add +1 to rolls)

Grymash attempts another spell while he waits for the onslaught. Shouting his words of magik in a furious tone, Grymash calls forth the image of his masters weapon ... "SOUL CLEAVER!"
(percentage roll 35, which may or may not work. I believe you roll under the number. Because if it was a 75% chance, it would be easier to roll under 75, not the other way.)
If the mighty war axe of Gargul appears, it will take up a position behind the large figure in the back (11) and attack. (HitAC 20, for a lousy 2 points of damage. I didn't say it was the ACTUAL soul cleaver!!)
The Battle for the Central Portal - ROUND 3...[DM StevenVdB] d100=73 ; d20+6=16 ; d20+10=21 ; d6+9=10 ; d20+10=23 ; d6+9=15 ; d20+10=30 ; d6+9=12 ; d20+12=13 ; Thursday February 12th, 2009 5:07:00 AM Yanosh prays to his absent God to make his next spell work yet he seems to be abandoned yet again... He can only wait for the army to breach the defences and hums with the drum beats.
Trellus watches how the wolves and bear are succeeding their assault on the undead front horde... he realizes they'll need more than just steel to get it done... Activating his boots of Flying he rises into the air and tries to see how many more are coming down the tunnel... Trellus can at least spot 3 more Hulking Corpses than are walking single file... they are too large to see if anything else is coming... Line of sight up to the first Hulking Corpse is free.
Tishe' winces in sympathy for her animal friends as she sees these creatures are a lot faster than zombies and much better organized... there's probably a master mind behind all this... Her Wolves continue to attack as is the bear. (not tripped indeed) Tishe' herself takes her Rod of extend and prepares another complicated spell.
Flee takes a peek down the tunnel and sees the Wolves engaged with some horrifying undead creatures... Figuring a small spell couldn't hurt whatever it is Trellus is preparing she tries to send a few Magic Missiles into the undead yet she fails miserably...
Gialn works on another thought and tries to remember what type of stone the tunnels were made of... natural or man worked... too bad for him this tunnel complex must have been created by some race eons ago... whether they were human or something else he can't tell because of the apparent age of this complex. There's little he can do but wait...
Vayine taunts the enemy some more and hopes to cast a blessing on all his friends. This time his spell works!! (miss chance 50% - above 50 works -- rolled 73 -- everyone's blessed)
Grymash too tries to cast another spell but again he fails (ooc could be wrong but I started using every roll below 50 was a failure so for the remainder of this battle I will do it this way -- spiritual weapon failed)
---------------------------------------
Tishe's Wolves continue their assault on the creatures.
Wolf 3 tries to bite #1 but misses...
Wolf 4 (not prone) feels his fangs tearing a chunk out of the air...
Wolf 5 bites down as hard as he can on #5 but even though it's slashing damage he does less damage than expected...
The Brown Bear roars madly and hopes to end at least #5's undead live... One of his claws tear away rotted flesh leaving a gaping hole behind... feeling his claw connecting he succeeds to pull the Undead closer for a deadly embrace (Grapple 16vs23 -- fail -- grappled). One he has pulled the undead closer he bites down tasting the sickening rotted flesh of the beast...
--------------------------------------------
The Undead feel bothered by the pesky wolves in front of them and continue to bash their way through to reach the Portal.
#1 engages Wolf 3 and destroys the Wolf (hits AC21 -- damage 10).
#2 knocks down Wolf 5 with another terrible blow (hits AC23 -- damage 15)
#7 bashes on Wolf 4 's head (hits AC30 NAT 20 -- damage 12)
Having cleared the path the Undead creatures return to their quest and steadily march on to the Portal Chamber... They have not even increased their pace... it's still maddening accurate to the sound of the drums...
The hulking corpses follow the ranks as well...
#11 comes close to the Brow bear and since he just happens to be close he decides engage the poor bear in his deadly embrace... Instead of bashing upon the animal he in turn bites down on the furry skin of the bear!! (hits AC13) But he is impressed by the bear's tough hide and fails to bite through...

Hovering in the air at the front of the tunnel, Trellus regards the approaching horde. "Here we go," he mumbles to himself.
The cleric spreads his arms wide, revealing all the symbols of Domi laced into his Holy Vestment. The silver patterns inlaid in the dark red garment seem to glow of their own accord. "BEGONE!" roars the blond man, willing the power of his god to destroy the sickening creatures before him.

The wolves dissapate without even a howl before the inevitable undead horde.
The Brown Bear continues its grapple and stands its ground, giving automatic damage to the undead in its arms. (Grapple: 24, 23, 36 Dam 14, 12, 14)
Tishe' is concentrating too much to really notice her wolves are gone until she completes her spell. The air shimmers around her, and three Celestial Bombadier Beetles arrive to stand around the Mystic. She speaks with them in Celestial, certain that her words will be understood. "Each of you guard one of the other entrances to this chamber and attack anything that tries to enter."
The three Celestial Giant Bombadier Beetles separate and one each goes to the north, west, and south corridors to guard the approaches.
Looking over at Trellus, she calls out, "We'll have warning if there are other columns of undead coming in behind us!"
And then she looks at the horde of oncoming undead and sees an opportunity. Running forward (40 foot move with Longstrider to BB,34) she arrives at a place where she can see all the undead (and her bear) and none of her packmates. Tishe' wields her Staff of Frost and points it down the corridor, filing it with a Cone of Cold!
Cone of Cold; cone 60' long, 22 Damage, Reflex DC 19 for half
The Brown Bear amazingly succeeds in ducking behind a couple undead and is less fazed by the sudden cold. (Reflex: 23, 11 damage)

Olaf mutters, mostly to himself, "Cold isn't a bane to the undead...more like skaldi's old types." Pulling out his recurved shortbow, he turns to Trellus, an idea in mind. "Trellus--I'm thinkin' we need ta put a stop to those drums. Anyone got a message spell handy or the like? I'm thinkin' time to scout 'em out and take 'em down. Preferably someone who can fly. I've got invisibility and nondetection for whoever can go. Happy to do it myself--just can't fly." He takes aim, in the meantime, at creature 2 (who remains unobstructed) and fires an arrow at the undead minion [hit AC 30, 3 points of damage].

Flea's slightly pointed ears pick up the voice of Olaf as he speaks to the cleric of Domi. (Listen=26) The rogue hustles behind her packmates, (move to AZ 40) and stands beside Olaf. "I've got something! "It's in the HHHaversack!" At the top lies a vial for her companion. "Spider Climb" she volunteers. "Take it, and get invisible with you other magic. You should be able to climb above their heads along the corridor and let us know what you see." Flea eyes the approaching monsters, her sword and wand in hand, "be careful!" she cautions her friend.

Gilan takes to wing and drops to just even with the entrance to the tunnel, His high pitched echoes giving him a picture perfect view of all that is before him. He tries to judge how much distance there is between the ceiling and the hulking form that he can make out behind the other undead.
Without much more to do at this time and hanging upside down now, where he is at. He starts a new spell that will hamper the enemy at least a little...though it will not slow undead much. He calls into being a great expanse of spikes that run the width of the tunnel and as far back as possible, though he places the beginning of it just after the area that the bear is in.

Watching the Undead horde approaching Trellus has risen in the air revealing all the symbols of Domi laced into his Holy Vestment. Trellus then retreats behind Gry assuming the Half-Orc will enjoy slashing the rest of the Undead...
Having moved next to Vayine, Yanosh grips his Holy War Axe and readies an attack... first one to come will be dealt with swiftly...
Tishe' hasn't noticed the Wolves being slain as she was concentrating on another powerful spell. Once completed 3 celestial Bombardier Beetles arrive... She commands them all in Celestial speech to guard the other entrances to the Portal Chamber... Each of the Beetles flies to one of the entrances checking for more undead to come...
Then Tishe' spots a window of opportunity and runs forward... she can see all the Undead and her Bear (in that case I assume you went to BB35 -- but indeed it's difficult to see the numbers with a bigger sized map)... a icy blue cone of Cold spouts forth from her Staff of Frost filling the corridor!!
Olaf mutters to himself that cone isn't a bane to undead... he voices a thought to Trellus that they would best seek out a way to stop the drums... perhaps someone should scout ahead -- even invisible -- to put an end to it... While waiting for Trellus's thoughts he fires a bolt into #2 just before he flees but the Undead doesn't even notice this.
Flea however doesn't linger and runs up to Olaf offering a Spider Climb spell... this will enable to Olaf to climb the ceiling of the corridors and tell the others what other things are up ahead...
Gilan levels with the entrance of the corridors and tries to see how much space there is between the Undead and the ceiling. The corridors are 20ft high so that should be sufficient to safely fly over them -- assuming you would fly very close to the ceiling... Gilan sees more undead coming... something strange... While he has nothing else to do at the moment he casts a spell that may not stop the Undead but it will never the less slow their entrance to the Chamber.
Grymash seems enthralled by the drumbeat and the steady pace of the Undead... Too bad though for he would make a welcome addition to the Pack at the moment!!
Vayine too waits patiently for the Undead to come closer... Well he got what he waited for!! Here they come!!
------------------------------------------
As soon as the Undead see the signs of Domi they roar in anger!! Never the less, three of them flee in terror!! They run and tumble over and under the ones that come behind them... abandoning the lines... whoever is behind all this won't be lenient on these poor poor undead...
But before these turned Undead manage to get out of harms way Tishe' sends her Cone of Cold after them and the other Undead...
Even Tishe's bear is able to avoid half of the damage (I do believe the bear lost his Dex to AC while grappling but that would mean he still has 22 reflex save what is plenty)
With the turned Undead gone, the rest continues their mindless assault on the Portal Chamber...
#3 walks straight up to Tishe' slamming into the mage. (hits AC27 -- damage 12 HP)
#7 aims for Grymash and bashes on the brute Half-Orc (hits AC18) but fails to connect.
#6 finds Vayine makes an interesting target and lands his blow on the Drow's head (hits AC25) but even the Drow's head is harder than expected!
#10 walks up to Yanosh first to receive the Clerics Holy Axe... It hits but again less damage is given then it normally would against evil creatures like these... He hopes Yanosh is an easier pick and tries to break through (hits AC19) but is stopped by the stout dwarf...
All the other Undead continue their march on the Portal Chamber...
The hulking #11 and #12 feel the pesky Brown Bear has troubled them enough and both of them bite the Bear (Hit AC26 -- damage 20 and Hit AC28 -- damage 22) and destroy the animal...
Free from the Bear #5 rejoins the ranks.

"Light," Trellus breathes unhappily as three undead turn away. "I thought that'd totally rip four or five of 'em."
"Olaf, you better stick around," the cleric cautions. "These things are tough. We won't be able to help if you get in trouble."
Having established the measure of the front row, Trellus moves to Plan B. He withdraws several vials of diamond powder and incants another spell, tossing the contents of the vials toward the undead.

Getting slapped by a zombie is not Tishe's idea of working from her strengths. "OW! Piggie Dumps!", she shouts, and Withdraws back to her starting location behind the front lines in order to avoid getting slapped again.
"A couple of them have taken a LOT of damage, and they're STILL weaving around!" she calls. "Get those axes and sword picks, packmates!"
The three Celestial Giant Bombadier Beetles continue to watch thier assigned corridor.

Gilan takes off from his perch on the ceiling, flying to the right side of the battle that is now raging. As he gets close enough to the floor his body starts to change shape once again and soon there is his battle worm form. He has landed far enough back that he can make use of his reach on his enemies. He lets out a roaring challenge to the undead.

Additionally the Brown Bear could make one final AoO vs #11 as he passed by the bear before biting the bear to death. Tishe' please roll this post mortem AoO and see if it hit :-)
Forget about #5 on the map please. He will be gone next map. Sorry for the mistake. Hope you're enjoying the massacre ;-)

The Twins... two amazingly tough looking warriors clad in a fair amount of armor... Both of them are wielding a pair of heavy Flails. These must be the commanders of this army. Or is this just the front guard and is the real Army not even here yet?!?}
Question : Will Gilan land between the Hulking Corpses and these Twins? Remember that you are also landing in a spot with spiky stones.

Olaf thanks Flea, grasping the potion of spider climb and putting it his haversack, then shouts back to Trellus, "Aye, I'll be weavin' here for the meantime. No point in goin' forward without a means to communicate, besides." Lacking good options, he puts his bow away and draws his sickle while moving forward to BB39.

Post was indeed in Progress this morning and when I finished it (after an hour or so) I wanted to put it here and... Woldian games was down. So, I lost all my rolls but they were incorporated in my post in Word. Sorry for the delay.
"Light"
With just this one word the cleric of Domi captures the entire situation... He expected his turning abilities would have turned at least a few more but still they are coming. He moves to plan B and withdraws several vials of diamond powder and incants another spell...
Trellus's spell strikes hard! (I'm assuming you would aim for BC-BD rather than BD-BE as that would only hit two undead instead of 4 -- I'm too nice!) His spell washes over the Undead nearest to Trellus is struck first...
#7 -- Fort save -- 24 (NAT 20) -- Succes #6 -- Fort save -- 19 -- Failure -- DESTROYED #9 -- Fort save -- 19 -- Failure -- DESTROYED #8 -- Fort save -- 21 -- Failure -- DESTROYED
3 undead instantly go up in flames leaving nothing but a pile of dust in front of the Bloodpack warriors!!
Vayine growls and throws himself with an abandon at the Undead... Since Trellus destroyed some already he aims for #10... His Silver blade nearly decapitates the Undead in front of him and much to Vayine's pleasure it is obvious to all that the Drow's Silver blade does excellent work!!
Getting slapped by Undead isn't Tishe's idea of working from her strengths... she withdraws back to her starting location. But the suddenly her Bombardier Beetles send warnings to Tishe'... in Celestial speech they warn her that more undead are coming from the North and South!!! They come in formation!!!
Gry hopes to end the life of the pesky undead in front of him but fails to connect twice!!
Gilan takes off flying further down the corridor and intends to land just behind the Hulking Corpses... but then he spots Them... the Twins... Not wanting to put himself between the Twins and the Hulking Corpses he flies back towards the Portal Chamber and lands next to Tishe' instead... as he lands he shifts into the well known shape of the Remorhaz battleworm... a roaring challenge is heard and if not they were all mindless undead they would run in terror...
Olaf thanks Flea for the potion but acknowledges Trellus's leadership. Instead of going in the corridor alone he stays here for the time being... seeing Gilan Bat returning so soon makes him think this is probably the best idea...
Yanosh feels the lust for battle overtaking him and he starts to sing a Dwarven war dirge... his holy axe slashes out twice and successfully destroys the already battered #10.
With a Flick and a swish Flea discharges her wand into the undead army... first she targeted #10 but he's gone... so are #9 and #8... looks like her best option to to aim carefully between the ranks and target #7. Convinced about the accuracy of her wand she strikes #7 with magical energy.
-----------------------------
Many Undead are slain!! But from the warning of the Beetles it seems more are coming towards the portal chamber from the other spokes of the wheel like structure... And then of course there are the Twins of which Gilan only saw a glimpse...
#3 slams his fists into the brute half-orc (hits AC11 -- Nat 1) but the frightful sight of the Remorhaz causes him to fail...
#7 too tries to damage the Half-Orc (hits AC25) and even though he aimed pretty well he fails to connect as well... Must be Gry's lucky day!!
#11 sees an opening where the front horde was and aims for the one who destroyed the last Undead... he can't recall any of the others who destroyed his companions... He takes a bite at the Dwarf (hits AC29 -- damage 20Hp) and blood quickly gushes from Yanosh's shoulder...
#12 steps in behind the smaller front horde and reaches over them and bites Grymash! (Hits AC30 -- damage 18) but thanks to Trellus's Stoneskin he only takes part of the damage (Stoneskin damage reduction 10)
The last Hulking Corpse waits for his kin to make room...
Those taking a peak between the warriors can see the Twins coming closer and patiently watching the battle. Both are wielding heavy Flails and seem to be quite confident...

From his angle, Gilan strikes at the nearest undead to him(#3) his teeth biting at dead flesh. This time around he will not attempt to grapple as he waits for the more dangerous creatures to show themselves. They are not doing so bad as of yet and he wants to keep it that way unfortunately, he is unaware at this time of the enemies coming from the other directions.

"There are more weaving in from the north and south corridors!" the brown-haired woman calls to Trellus. Not too concerned at this point, she knows Trellus will make the best decision for the pack. "I"ll try and slow them down!"
She moves further back and to the north (move to AR,33) and focus' her Staff on the north corridor. A Wall of Frost appears in the north corridor, momentarily blocking the undead from that direction.

She stabs at the creature but times her strike poorly and strikes naught but the shadowy surroundings of the ephemeral Wold. She takes care to dodge any relatiatory action from her adversary and readies for her next attack.

Trellus' lips press together in annoyance. "Light," he spits when Tishe makes her report. "Seal off all three corridors!" he calls after her.
The cleric isn't liking what he's seeing in the back row. "Let's see if you're so comfy after this," he grates, and casts another spell.

Both hits successfully and his magic Sickle seems to do the trick quite well!
Gilan too strikes at the nearest Undead his teeth biting the rotting flesh... This will certainly leave a bad taste in his mouth! Thinking there are more and tastier things coming along he does not want to grapple this one just yet...
Vayine swings his Silver sword once again against the Hulking form in front of him... both hits strike hard and again his magic blade is quite effective...
Massive damage is dealt already to #11 but still he stands and he wickedly frowns upon those who are hurting them...
Tishe' warns her companions about the imminent dangers that are approaching from the North and South!! She immediately takes action and blocks the Northern entrance with a wall of ice!
Flea slides next to Olaf and hopes to slice a piece of the Undead but her blade misses horribly...
Yanosh roars in pain and anger as the Undead nearly bites his head off!! He goes into the counter offensive but his blows can't seem to rip through the Undead hide...
Trellus' doesn't like the sight of this situation especially since more undead are coming towards this chamber and most likely too because the Bloodpack's main tank seems to be in hibernation...
No longer playing with the front horde Trellus launches an attack at the Twins...
-----------------------------
Only a split second later than Trellus has completed his spell the eastern corridor lights up in roaring fire!!
#13 Reflex save -- 8 - failure -- 42 damage taken T1 Reflex save -- 29 -- success -- 21 damage taken T2 Reflex save -- 31 -- success -- 21 damage taken
#3 continues to bash the sleeping half-orc (hits AC30 -- damage 10 -- absorbed by Stoneskin 100 remaining)
#7 too fights Gry (hits AC26 -- damage) but his accuracy is not sufficient this time...
#11 enjoyed the taste of Dwarf earlier and goes for a FULL attack... first he bites Yanosh and then he uses his claws hoping to rend Yanosh's flesh apart!! (bite hits AC29 -- damage 17 and 2 claws hits AC13 and 19) Luckily for Yanosh only the bite hits...
#12 also goes for a full attack on the sleeping Grymash (bite hits AC27 and 2 claws hitting AC12 and 20) but again the Half-Orc gets away with it...
#13 roars in agony as the fire washes over him but at the moment there's nothing he can do as the entrance is still blocked!!
T1 and T2 look at each other... first one of them raises both flails and then he points both of them forward... nothing seems to happen but then Grymash, Vayine, Yanosh and Olaf can all feel life force being taken from them!! (All take 14HP damage - make Will save DC23 for half). On top of this, while this negative burst seems to drain you from power it seems to cure the undead in front of you with the same amount of HP's!! (#7 and #11 are healed for 14HP's each - #7 only goes up to starting health)
The other one like his Twin brother feels something has to be done about the strength of those on the front line... again an area spell is targeted at the front line Bloodpack members... this time they can feel a Dispelling effect washing over them!!
Grymash -- strongest spell = Stone Skin by Trellus = Dispell check DC11+12=23 -- 24vs23 -- success -- Stone skin is dispelled from Grymash.
Vayine -- strongest spell = Stone Skin by Tishe' = Dispell check DC11+11=22 -- 26vs22 -- success -- Stone skin is dispelled from Vayine
Yanosh -- strongest spell = neutralize poison by Trellus = Dispell check DC11+12=23 -- 39vs23 -- success -- Neutralize poison is dispelled from Yanosh
Olaf -- strongest spell = neutralize poison by Trellus = Dispell check DC11+12=23 -- 27vs23 -- success -- Neutralize poison is dispelled from Olaf
From the North and South indeed more undead are coming in formation. The Northern squad is almost at Tishe's wall, the southern arrives close to the entrance...
The Bombardier beetle guarding the western entrance sees nothing so far...

Not waiting to see if her North Ice Wall has a lasting effect, Tishe' spins and moves towards the South corridor. (move to AR,39) and repeats her spell to block the south corridor. She ensures the forming wall is out of reach of the advancing undead to avoid them interfering with the spell.

(OoC Im sorry that my last post failed to properly reflect his current hit points of a 61 out of 81. Disreguard the 3d8+12 roll was an accident)
Yanosh speaks the power word and triggers the healling powers of one of his tattoos. Touching himself Yanosh feels the power course through him. (Tattoo should not be affected by Gargul not being available.) The Dwarf then lashes out with his Holy Axe bitting into the giant undead.

Roaring once again in challenge, Gilan slams his teeth into the undead to his right. Wanting to get one out of the way, he does not let go this time but attempts to draw the thing into his mouth further. All the time his brain is rebeling but he has no intentions of swallowing.

Feeling lucky, Flea lashes out again with her holy short sword, hoping to cut the monster in front of her (#11). This time she times her strike more carefully (59% vs 20% mischance, makes), hit AC 28 for 5 pts dmg, +5 if opponent is evil, ignore 4d6 as undead immune to sneak attack). The diminuitive rogue stabs a second time (miss chance =25; pass, hit Ac=28 for 6+6 = 12 pts dmg) Total dmg to #11 = 22

Olaf shrugs against a lethargy brought on the by darkness around them, and shudders at the negative energy [will save 27 vs 23, successful]. He continues his assault against the large creature in front of him, swing twice with his sickle (AC 19 and 9, likely misses. If the 19 hits, he does 4 + 2 cold damage).

Trellus hovers, hoping that the front line fighters can take out the three undead in the front. Then he opens his arms to once more reveal the holy symbols on his vestment.
"BEGONE!" the cleric roars again, pouring the power of Domi into the fray.

The Mage's Bombardier Beetles hover in place ready to attack the first to come through...
Yanosh triggers his healing tattoo and cures himself. Then he lashes out once again with his Holy axe at #11
Roaring once again Gilan slams his teeth into the undead to his right and this time... he's not letting go... yuk!! The terrible bite brings #3 to the brink of death and to make all things worse he's going to be swallowed by a Battleworm... the Undead monster goes limp in Gilan's mouth as it's no longer resisting the agony of dying...
This time Flea is feeling lucky and once again she lashes out with her holy sword. #11 roars in pain and anger and it certain to rip one of his attackers to pieces!! Most likely he'll go for the one that hit him last... (Flea indeed should have been hit by the spell but apparently I made a mistake... looks like the rogue is even more lucky that expected...)
Gry goes insane with rage and strikes back at the undead in front of him! His second blow makes #7 crumble to the floor and then his blade cleave's into the next one #11 and deals some more massive damage!! It almost sinks the Undead!!
Olaf hopes to put an end to the miserable life of the Large undead in front of him but fails miserably...
Ultimately Trellus hopes to turn at least a few more undead and once again displays the terrible power of Domi! #7 pushes his companions aside and hopes to escape!! He steps backwards but then bumps into his bosses... Never the less, only one undead is turned!
--------------------------------
With #3 and #7 gone there's nothing in the way for #11... not even getting any nearer he engages Grymash and makes a full attack on him!! (hits AC28 -- damage 17 (no more stoneskin) and 2 claws hitting AC18 and AC10)
#11 withdraws until he reaches his bosses... one of them raises his Flail and lashes out at the cowering Corpse (hits AC28 -- damage 8 Hp) making the Hulking corpse collapsing to the ground...
#13 steps next to his friend and challenges the Bloodpack... (rolled a d10 to see who to attack and it gave Vayine)... he takes a bite at the Drow fighter hitting AC30 -- damage 20 HP -- no more stoneskin)
The Twins frown as they see their front horde being decimated but they can not see Tishe' has successfully blocked the reinforcements...
Seeing Trellus is by far the most dangerous spellcaster at the moment one of the Twins makes a Greater Dispell vs Trellus!! Dispell Magic is not subject to Spell Resistance.
Magic vestment -- 32 vs 23 -- spell dispelled Shield of Faith -- 39 vs 23 - spell dispelled Neutralize Poison -- 33 vs 23 -- spell dispelled Freedom of Movement -- 26 vs 23 -- spell dispelled Eagle Splendor -- 32 vs 23 -- spell dispelled Fly -- 30 vs 23 -- spell dispelled Status -- 39 vs 23 -- spell dispelled (any other spells active?) (please adjust all your modifiers accordingly and your header)
Trellus can feel the terrible dispelling effect washing over him removing most or all of his protective spells from him!! Immediately the cleric falls back to the ground as the Fly spell too has ended...
The second half of the Twins can see Grymash is probably the toughest tank in the Pack... he too uses a Greater Dispelling effect on him... My nice twins have Greater Dispell available at will...
Barkskin -- 28 vs ?? -- Spell Dispelled Neutralize poison -- 35 vs ?? - -- Spell Dispelled Bless -- 33 vs ?? -- Spell Dispelled (anything else?) (please adjust AC and other stats accordingly and your header with HP's)
Grymash too can feel the Twins strip all magical powers from him...
On the North and South the Undead are starting to break down the wall that blocks their entrance into the Portal Chamber... All hits automatically hit.
North wall -- 4 undead bashing the wall -- 14+15+11+11 = 51 HP -- Wall crumbles but leaves treacherous shards on the ground that will damage the undead next round...
South wall -- 4 undead bashing the wall -- 11+10+13+12 = 46 HP -- this wall is almost destroyed and cracks dangerously but... it still stands!!
The Beetle guarding the western corridor sees nothing... yet...

Looking north and south, Tishe' doesn't see any immediate breakthroughs in her walls, and so she starts thinking about the next line of defenses.
Standing still, she concentrates on her magics, weaving hands and voice and concentration together to bring ever more creatures into the battle. (Casting Summon Monster IV)

Looking to help his friends, Olaf slides underneath the legs of the large creature in front of him (13), tumbling to BF 37 (takes a double move to get in position; tumble checks 20 vs DC 25 for attacks from 13, 18 vs DC 17 for attacks from 12). This should provide flanking for most of his friends on the far side.

Flea waits until her new enemies step into range. She bridles at the idea that they have ignored her because of her size, and uses that anger to stab at the one directly in front of her [Hit #13 AC=31 and 26 for 12 +14 damage; passed both 20% miss chance].

Folks sorry for the terrible posting and there won't be a post today either. We are working in our house and I haven't got internet since 3 days... today I've got a short online period to get posts in but then I'll have to disconnect everything again to finish painting and stuff...

Concentrating she begins summoning more creatures into battle.
Her Celestial Bombardier Beetles are prepared to spray acid on the first creatures walking through the Ice wall...
Olaf slides underneath the legs of the Hulking Corpse in front of him but the Corpse snaps at him... (hits AC31 -- damage 19)
Yanosh growls out his rage and lashes out at the nearest foe. His first strike goes wide but his second hits nicely.
Trellus suggests concentrating on #13... he looks menacingly at #12 and for the third time he attempts to turn more undead. #12 turns around and runs away until he bumps into his leaders... there he cowers in fear for both Trellus and his masters...
Vayine enjoys the sound of his blade as it rips through undead flesh... again his blade sings as it cuts deep into #13!! The corpse staggers a little and roars in anger!
Dispite her size Flea holds a good punch! She stabs at the one in front of her and hopes her ring will save her from the return blow...
Gilan already killed the undead thing in his mouth and hurls the limp body towards the Twins... with a squash the maimed body falls in front of their feet but all they do is smile...
Grymash hopes to attack the one in front of him again but Trellus already turned him... so Gry switches target and swings hard into #13... The Hulking Corpse collapses to the ground... dead... more dead that it ever was...
--------------------------------------
To the north the Undead have already destroyed the ice wall and they pour into the Portal Chamber... the shards of Ice damage their undead feet and then they are welcomed by the Celestial Bombardier Beetle... #18 and #17 are hit by the acid spray. (Fort saves 21 and 24 -- both succeed)
Making a double move they move up to the portal!! Since the Beetle is hovering 10ft above the ground the Undead can't reach it so they just move on. The beetle can make an AoO vs one fo the Undead.
Near the South the Undead #20slams into the ice wall making it crumble to bits... then another Acid spray washing over #21and #22(fort saves 15 and 10 - #24 takes 5 points of Acid damage)
Then they also walk straight up to the Portal... (another AoO for this beetle as well)
Suddenly the Portal Flashes bright red!! The whole Portal Chamber lights up in the brightest Red as if it were in flames... Tishe' is thrown backwards by the sudden energy that races through the portal...
Like the powers did before a figure shows himself in the portal...
"You fight brave but are nothing but mere puny mortals that will soon surrender to my will..."
Those of you looking back can see a man eyeballing each of you in turn... his voice sends shivers down your spine...
Knowledge Religion 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {The man resembles the pictures of Ga'al you've seen before!!!}
"You can slay as many as you want... they all come back to me... my army is undefeatable!!! WHOEHAHAHAHA!!!! Here... do you remember these?!? You fought them before... now fight them again!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!
Suddenly the portal flashes and two creatures step out of it!! You remember them indeed!! The Bone Naga and Yuan-Ti you killed hours ago are here again! Only this time... they have lost the sparkle in their eyes and appear to be undead...
The Twins that are still standing in the corridor approach some more and smile... only now you realize their lips are sewn shut and they can not speak... their smiles are wicked...
T1 takes a double swing (this is not a full attack) at Grymash... (hits AC25 and 29 -- with the Barkskin cast by Trellus gone I believe Gry's AC went down from 28 to 24? -- in that case both hits do damage -- HP13 and 6)
T2 stands closest to Flea and swings his two flails at her... (both miss chances win - hits AC29 and AC29 -- damage 7 and 10)
The Undead that have walked up to the Portal now turn to face all of you... they appear to have reached their goal and will protect the Portal from anyone getting near but it's uncertain if they will engage if you don't go near them...
The Undead Bone Naga and Yuan-Ti appear to be somewhat dazed but seem to mindlessly follow their orders... they will engage next round.
The Last Beetle that gazes through the western corridor sees no danger coming from that direction yet...
----------------------------- Battle at the Central Portal Zooming in on the battle so you can see the numbers more easily... ----------------------------- COMBAT DETAILS :
"Light", Trellus states in exasperation as one more dude shows up in the fire. He feels he should recognize the fellow, but frankly, he's kinda busy.
This fight is not going very well. But, as that's not all that uncommon for the Bloodpack, their leader keeps calm.
"Stick together and take out these treadles," he directs, nodding toward the twins.
Disregarding his own direction, the cleric turns and casts a ray of white-hot light at the undead Bone Naga.

Passing under the beetles, the two celestial creatures lash out with mandibles, to Smite the undead as they pass by. Beetle AOO North AC 21 Dam 5+3 Smite damage Beetle AOO South AC 23 Dam 6+3 Smite damage
Concentrating on her summoning spell (Concentration: DC 19) Tishe' ignores the magical push and completes the summoning.(Casting Summon Monster IV). Urging a more favorable outcome of imploring the Lands of Rest for assistance, Tishe' heroically (use Hero Point) brings in front of her Three Celestial Bisons ( large creature, upper left corner appears at 30,AP; 28,AP; 28,AN) and lets them attack the undead. Three head lower to Smite the undead. Bison 1: miss Bison 2: miss Bison 3: miss
A fierce light is in the woman's eyes as she thinks of what she can do to the other undead and the creature in the centre of the portal. And then her eyes widen. (Know: Religion: 20) "We're in bigger trouble than normal", she calls to Trellus. "Our dieties have been weaving from that Portal, and that treadle looks alot like the northern god of Testing called Ga'al." And then Tishe' continues with her usual talent for understatement. "I've spoken with a blackhanded woman named Ashira who was a pirate in the north continent waters, and she didn't like him at all."
The conjurer hopes to continue to delay the undead horde in order to give her packmates time, and so concentrates her next spell on the southern undead group. A flick of hands and a shouted command causes an Ice Storm to fall on the group! (Ice Storm: 20 foot radius centered on 42,AO; 8 bludeoning damage and 9 cold damage AND area is half-movement for one round)
"North and South Beetles, attack! West Beetle, guard!", the conjurer shouts, and the Celestial Bombadier Beetles move into action. The two beetles race to the fight and try and get thier mandibles around an undead body. Beetle North AC 19 Dam 4 Beetle South AC 22 Dam 6
"I can't weave them all back!", she shouts in warning to her packmates.

The rogue winces as one of the twins rattles her teeth with it's blows, but she does not waver...her packmates are counting on her just as much as the others. Twice she stabs at the brute with the sewn lips [Hit AC=30 and 26 for 6+5=11 and 5+6=11 HP respectively; passed both miss chances) Flea backs away 5' around the corner to lessen the chance of an attack [Dodge T2; effective AC=22]

Gilan can tell that the group is in as much trouble as they have ever been in and with the arrival of a new enemy he is not sure what they are going to do. He winces under the observations of Tishe' and starts into a spell of his own that will at least help out a little.
His voice is a throaty growl, but there are actually words to it that are spoken in a strange language. The only one of the group that will know the language for sure...is Tishe'.

The Battle for the Central Portal - ROUND 8...[DM StevenVdB] Wednesday February 25th, 2009 7:14:13 AM
waiting a few more hours before posting... gentleman this battle has a pretty high EL so it's important that you contribute as much as possible. Gry, Olaf, Yanosh... we need ya guys!! If you have trouble of posting let us know (I know I have trouble posting too :-) )
The Battle for the Central Portal - ROUND 9...[DM StevenVdB] d20+12=23 ; d20+16=33 ; d20+11=12 ; d20+6=12 ; d20+16=26 ; d10+5=12 ; d10+2=10 ; d20+16=27 ; d100=62 ; d100=52 ; d20+11=14 ; d100=35 ; d100=89 ; d20+16=24 ; d10+5=9 ; d10+2=3 ; d20+10=20 ; d20+10=24 ; d20+10=27 ; d6+9=11 ; d6+9=12 ; d6+9=15 ; d20+10=22 ; d20+10=14 ; d6+10=12 ; d6+10=14 ; 10d6=28 ; d20+14=25 ; Wednesday February 25th, 2009 11:43:13 AM Tishe's Bombardier Beetles take their chances on the Undead as they walk beneath them towards the portal. Only the southern beetle is able to damage them.
Trellus is quite upset as he sees more and more undead freaks entering the battle and he realizes he should recognize the one in the Portal... since it is not all that uncommon for the Bloodpack to be in quite overpowering encounters Trellus keeps his calm and gives advise to his companions...
While he orders them all to concentrate on the Twins he himself turns to face the Bone Naga and Yuan-Ti... Trellus launches a bolt of searing light towards the Bone Naga... dispite the Bone Naga's spell resistance (I rolled a 24 vs 23 for Trellus) the bolt strikes through and burns the creature!!
Tishe' concentrates on her summoning spell and ignores the push of the portal completely. She brings in 3 Celestial Bisons to crowd the Portal Chamber some more... They immediately engage the group guarding the portal but they fail to successfully damage any Undead.
Tishe' then looks into the eyes of the figure in the Portal and identifies Ga'al... is he the Northern God that defies Gargul and the other undead?!? Must be! In order to give her friends more chances to deal with the Twins she brings down an Ice Storm upon the southern group of undead... They are all caught in the blizzard and take more damage... Many of the Undead already are badly damaged but they stick with their orders to guard the portal and destroy any that come near...
The Northern and Southern Beetle then engage the Undead horde. Only the southern beetle is able to damage #20.
Despite the overwhelming force Tishe' is doing a fantastic job in giving her friends more time as she nibbles away all the Undead HP's... Good job! But they still stand..
Vayine hacks and slices with decent accuracy but much to his surprise not one attack hits!!!
Flea winces as the Twin lands his Flails on her small body but she does not waver... instead she delivers two excellent stabs but again... nothing hits!!! The armor the Twins are wearing deflects any hit so far!!
Gilan can tell the group is in as much trouble as they have ever been and is not certain what they are going to do to get out of it... Gilan too commences a complex spell...
But for some odd reason Grymash, Yanosh and Olaf are struck with awe as soon as Ga'al has shown himself... they do nothing to stop the Undead Horde...
-------------------------------------------
The Twins growl with pleasure at Flea and Vayine's feeble efforts to harm them and they are even more pleased with the fact that some Bloodpack members appear to be numbed by their master's appearance...
This time they got a full round of attacks...
T1 continues to bash Grymash ... the Twin's Flails fly around with incredible speed and accuracy!! (Hitting AC33, 12, 12, 26 -- damage 12 and 10) Lucky for Gry only two blows connect...
T2 enjoyed the fact to see the Gnome in front of him getting somewhat smaller... so he decides to continue bashing Flea... Dispite her ring of Blinking the Twin is quite able to hit her... only one blow strike void... but three other blows successfully hit Flea of which two rip through her armor... (Miss chance 65 hits AC27 ; MC52 hits AC14 ; MC35 ; MC89 hits AC24 -- 9 and 3) Lucky for Flea the Twin's damage isn't too high...
The Entombers guarding the portal engage the Bisons on the North... the Southern group having succeeded in their initial orders now engage the Bloodpack from behind... all take double moves but can't attack this round...
#16, #17 and #18 all go for Bison 3 (hitting AC20, 24 and 27 -- damage 11, 12, 15) #14 and #15 go for Bison 1 (hitting AC22 and 14 -- damage 12, 14)
The Bone Naga winces in pain as Trellus's spell washes over him and through his spell resistance... in turn the Bone Naga makes Trellus his target for a spell of his own... A tiny bead of fire is thrown towards Trellus... a bead you have all seen before and know what it means... as it falls to the ground right in front of Trellus's feet it bursts into a massive fireball catching Gilan and Trellus in the fire!! (damage 28HP -- Spell resistance check 25 - Reflex save DC16 for half damage)
The Yuan-Ti mindless as he has become walks around the portal readying himself to engage you...

The Three Celestial Bisons (at 30,AP; 28,AP; 28,AN) are partially protected by thier own celestial beingness (damage reduction-5 ooc: Bison#3 should only have 23 damage and Bison#1 16 damage) and shrug off some of each blow of the undead before returning with strikes of thier wicked horns. Bison 1: AC 28 Dam 12 Bison 2: AC 22 Dam 16 Bison 3: AC 24 Dam 19
Two of the Celestial Bombadier Beetles also continue to attack undead. The third beetle continues to watch the Western Tunnel. Beetle North AC 21 Dam 5 Beetle South AC miss
Seeing that nothing else is holding back the undead to the south, Tishe' moves to flank the advancing undead (move to AV,34) and lowers her Staff of Frost. "My packmates have proven you can fall, so let us see how damaged those bodies of yours actually are!" And a Cone of Cold erupts from the end of the staff to catching #21, #22, #23, #24, #25 and the Yuan-Ti in the spreading icy blast. (ooc: intent is to spread the cone to avoid Trellus and Olaf) In another heroic effort (16: use a Hero Point for reroll: 30), Tishe's Cone slams the undead. (30 damage, Reflex DC 19 for half)

Having enhanced the groups strength with a spell of his own just a few minutes ago and with things turning rather ugly, real fast. Gilan turns his attention to the two clerics and hopes that the others can hold out long enough for some miracle.
Not needing to move to get a smack at the cleric closest to him, he just turns his great bulk slightly to get a better shot at the cleric. His jaws snap forward, trying to find somekind of purchase on the body to tear through the armor. With any luck, maybe he can gain somekind of control of this one and even the odds a little further.

Disappointed wih her last effort, Flea resolves to try one more time to inflict some pain of her own against the twin closest to her but to no avail as her sword simply bounces off the undeads armor. Once again she does her best to dodge any backlash and shifts 5' further to the south to avoid the next onslaught.

"Hit 'em dudes!" Trellus yells to the pack's tanks. So engrossed in the action before him, the cleric is caught completely flatfooted by the fireball that explodes at his feet. [Reflex 13, fails]
"Yeaargh!" he cries, and spins around to see a bunch of undead closing in on him. "Uh-oh"
With a snap, he activates a quickened shield. [Cast Quickened Shield of Faith]
And then, he casts yet another spell, this time trying hard not to get slammed in the process. [Casting on the Defensive - DC 21. rolled 19, geez, use hero point to roll 31 - Avoids AoO]
The cleric's spell washes over friend and foe alike, healing the pack while hurting the undead.

(adjusted the Bison HP's). Her Bisons also engage the undead (#15, 16 and 18 take damage)
Tishe' then repositions herself and sends a second cone of cold from her staff. (ooc I can not create a cone that captures the whole group of undead without Olaf... please double check your position...)
#21 reflex save 17 - failed #22 reflex save 24 - success #23 reflex save 9 - failed #24 reflex save 15 - failed #25 reflex save 21 -- success
Dispite the fact that some have actually succeeded their reflex save Tishe' has managed to destroy the entire group of Undead!!! Well done!!!
Gilan fails to escape from the fireball and finishes his spell and the whole group benefits from the Bull's Strength he added. Then he turns his wormlike attention to the Deathbringer Twins...
Both bites connect and drain ooze from the first Twin and Gilan then begins a grapple!! Deathbringer grapple check : 10 + 12 (BAB) + 5 (Str) + 4 (size) = DC31
Gilan successfully grapples the first of the Deathbringer Twins!!
Flea hopes to have better luck this time but once again her weapons fail to connect. She makes an evasive maneuver. Luckily for her Tishe's cone has already passed ;-)
Vayine swings his blade at T2 and with the second blow he succeeds to hit him! Too bad though Undead are not affected with Con damage...
Grymash steps forward but can't reach T1 because of Gilan... he goes berserk and aims for T2 but only one blow hits...
Engrossed by the action before him Trellus fails to avoid the Fireball... then he sees a lot of undead closing in on him but is pleased to see Tishe's Cone of Cold taking them all out!! A quickened shield of faith and then he heals himself and some of his companions...
Yanosh slices his axe through the air but only slices the air around the Twin...
-------------------------------------
To escape the grapple T1 makes an opposed grapple check (12+5+4-4 = +17) = 32 Gilan Remorhaz's grapple DC is 10 + 9(BAB) + 10 (Str -- 26+4) + 8 = DC37 The Deathbringer fails to escape from the grapple!!
He thus drops his both flails and slams his fists into the Gilanhaz... (hitting AC35, 33 - damage 9, 7)
The last successful blow on Deathbringer Twin 2 was delivered by Grymash... he eyeballs the raging Half-Orc and swings his flails at Gry... (hitting AC29, 22, 13, 28 -- damage 12 and 11) Twice the Twin's flail rattle through Gry's armor putting good dents in it.
#14, #15 and #16 continue to slam into Bison 1 (hitting AC24, 14 and 24 -- damage 15, 14 and 15) The Bison staggers but is not yet slain!
#18, #17 and #19 engage Bison 3 (hitting AC12, 11, 27 -- damage 10) but only one Entomber is able to actually hit the beast...
The Yuan-Ti hurls himself at Tishe' who apparently has a deadly staff... he slams hard into the female mage (hit AC32 -- damage 16Hp + level drain (need to look up the effect of this -- SteveK if you know please use the effect thanks! )
The Bone Naga makes a double move south of the portal...
Through the frenzy Tishe' now hears the third Celestial Bombardier Beetle warning her the last Squadron of Undead is approaching the Portal Chamber!!!
Trellus (AC 21, 86/93 hp) Bulls Str, Shield of Faith, Disrupting Wpn Thursday February 26th, 2009 2:56:59 PM
"Nice pick, Tishe!" Trellus calls out. The cleric figures the twins are under control, so now the pack better turn around.
"Gilan and Gry stay on the Twins," he directs. "Me and Tishe on this thing <Yuan-ti>. Everyone else hit that bone snake"
The blond man casts another spell, tapping the little-used mace at his side. And then, shield raised, he strides into to the Yuan-ti while drawing the weapon. "Let's weave," he tells it.

The Three Celestial Bisons (at 30,AP; 28,AP; 28,AN) are in a death struggle to even hold back the undead onslaught, but grimly they fight on. The attacks have done thier part, and only one head slams undead flesh. Bison 1: AC 28 Dam 18 Bison 2: AC 12 Bison 3: AC 14

Tishe' herself is slammed by the undead snake-taur and feels as if her very soul is shredded! The hardened combat expert *SHRIEKS* in pain and feels a spell slip from her memory! (ooc: lose Dim Door) And then the warning comes from the Celestial Beetle. "More Reinforcements!", she gasps, "from the West!"
The small woman staggers back a step to get her head together (5 foot step to 33,AV). "He's trying to cut my thread just by touching me!", she calls while sweating and her face pale, "but let's see if I can't take him completely out of the fight." Raising her hands in a quick spell, she defensively casts (Concentration: 15, whew!) a Resilient Sphere to surround and capture the undead snake-taur without touching his spell resistance!

Gilan accepts the slams from the undead cleric that he is holding in his jaws, but his own skin is superheated to the touch and delivers burns to the things hands. Gilan no longer cares if the thing is undead or not, so he just swallows the thing whole before turning to help Gry with the last one.
Once again his head shoots out twice to try and bite down on the remaining cleric. Though he does not bother to bring it into a grapple as he wants it to get the punishment it needs.

Flea knows that she is of little help against the two undead in the corridor and when she hears Tishe's scream she spins towards her. The rogue activates her boots of speed and charges the undead naga, hoping that Tishe can look after the Yuan-ti. The rogue does her best to slide her short sword through the undead's hide, but finds her blade piercing the emptiness of the ephemeral Wold.

Grymash decides he doesn't like the flail. In his rage, he attempts to sunder it into pieces.
(Sunder attack on the flail. Powerattack same as before) Opposed attack roll 1: HitAC 33. Opposed attack roll 2: HitAC 28.
If either one beats his opposed attack roll, then Gry does damage to the flail. Gry's +1 double ax is also an adamantine weapon and ignores hardness. Dealing damage directly to the flail. Damage: 34 and 39.)

He points Gry and Gilan towards the Twins, Tishe' and himself on the Yuan'Ti and the others on the Bone Naga... Preparing himself for close combat he enhances his Mace.
Tishe's Bisons bravely continue to batter the Undead but only one of them is able ot hurt an Undead Entomber... It staggers but still stands... Two Beetles that were already engaging the Entombers continue their attack while the third one is preparing to throw acid at the ones that are approaching from the West.
Tishe' herself is slammed by the Yuan-Ti and hopes to capture him inside a resilient Sphere... (rolled spell resistance check for you 27 vs 18 -- success) The spell penetrates the Yuan-Ti's resistance to spells but it can not trap the nimble creature! (reflex save 26 -- success) Tishe' is unable to trap the Yuan-Ti
Gilan accepts the slams from the Twin and swallows the large Deathbringer!!! The Deathbringer struggles madly but can not avoid being swallowed!! The burning pain is enormous but Gilan can still feel the large Undead crawling inside his belly... (Swallow hole is a special attack so that's your attack phase. You can make another attack vs the second Deathbringer)
Flea knows she is of little help against the Deathbringer Twins and hears the screams from Tishe'. She charges the Undead Bone Naga but in her hast she misses the snake... it hisses viciously...
Yanosh swings at the Undead Twin again but only cuts the air around it...
Grymash dislike the Twin's Flails and attempts to destroy them...
(Twins's Sunder DC : 10 + 16 (attack roll mod) + 4 size = 30) (Heavy Flail (Large) : hardness 10 / HP 40)
Gry's first swing hits the main hand flail badly and almost destroys the weapon (33Hp take). The second attack fails to hit the Heavy Flail... The Twin roars in anger as he realizes why the Half-Orc has just been trying to do!
Olaf and Vayine remain frozen (guys please let me know if anything is wrong) Having failed to dodge Tishe's Cone of Cold Olaf has taken 30HP's!!
-------------------------------
Swallowed Deathbringer actions Highlight to display spoiler: {The Deathbringer draws 2 short swords immediately lashing out at the Remorhaz's gizzard with a Power Attack... (-10 on damage rolls / +10 on damage rolls / hitting AC24 and 19 vs AC15 -- damage 21 and 16)}
Gilan feels a terrible pain coming from inside his Remorhaz guts... it stings!! It cuts!! It HURTS!!! Moments later the first Deathbringer Twin cuts himself out of the Remorhaz belly!! Gilan takes a massive 37Hp from this... He'll think twice before swallowing another Deathbringer! The burned Twin roars in defiance and enrages his brother even more!
The figure in the Portal laughs in the red haze and shouts one final command... "STOP PLAYING AND DESTROY THE WORM!!! CHARGE!!!"
With this being said you can hear the Undead coming from the western corridor speeding up their pace...
The second Deathbringer throws himself on Grymash once again! (hitting AC29, 28, 20, 30 -- damage 15, 12 and 12)
The Yuan-Ti hurls himself on Tishe' ready and willing to destroy the mage by taking a full attack (hitting AC36 and 35 -- damage 11 + level drain and 14 + level drain)
The Bone Naga hisses as she finds the small Gnome trying to sting her... she casts another spell (concentration 33)... Orders were clear... destroy the Worm! Two rays shoot over Flea and Trellus's head and hit Gilan Remorhaz in the flank! (hitting Touch AC20 and 27 -- damage 19 and 15HP) A third ray bursts into Flea... (hitting Touch AC18 -- damage 16Hp)
Undead #20 is annoyed by the Beetle and slams his fists in the air. The Beetle has a 5ft reach so can be hit by the Entomber. (hitting AC19 -- damage 10Hp)
#14 slams his fists into Bison 1 (hitting AC15 -- damage 11) making the beast disappearing towards the Celestial Lands it came from...
#15 and 16 aim for Bison 2 -- hitting AC11 and 26 -- damage 12
#17, 18 and 19 continue to bash on Bison 3 (hitting AC24, 20, 18 -- damage 12, 15, 14)
The last squadron of Entombers come running in the Portal Chamber now... #26 and 27 take the Acid spray while they simply run on (Beetle take an AoO vs #26)

Lads 'n lasses, we need EVERYONE in this battle -- I'm NOT lowering this encounter because not everyone is posting... (ok maybe I'm not targeting those unable to post... but this means those not posting are causing the others more damage!!)
Tishe' is involved with the Yuan-Ti and is taking damage hard and loosing levels Flea has engaged the Bone Naga who lucky for her obeys orders and concentrated on Gilan Gilan has taken massive damage from the Twin that escaped from his belly AND from the Bone Naga Grymash has been doing a fantastic job vs Twin 2 but he is nibbling away Gry's HP's Both Deathbringers are STILL in decent shape... Not to mention the 13 Entomber that are still around while the Summoned Animals are falling fast... If you are not panicking I'm doing it for ya... [/OOC]

[OOC Trells had moved to AW 36 last round. I'm assuming he's at that spot.]
This is sunbaked, the cleric thinks to himself, as the situation is clearly getting out of hand.
"Tishe, back off and give Gry a healing shot," he calls. Which leaves him alone with the Yuan-Ti. "Domi give me strength!" he cries. And then adds silently -And please let this work
[Domain feat - Feat of Strength - free action - +11 STR this round]
Since the thing still seems to be concentrating on Tishe, Trellus takes a step to get behind it. [5' step to AV37] And swings for all he's worth.

The pain was sudden and flamed the mind as well as the body, sending Gilan into a roar of pain. Fighging back the intensity of all that his body is enduring, he somehow is able to focus his mind enough to change his form.
As the change takes him the pain subsides and when he is totally done, there is no signs of all that has been inflicted upon him in the past few minutes. But in the place of the worm is now a snow white bear, towering of nine feet tall. The eyes of the bear narrow as it takes in the prey before it and plans to continue the fight.

She springs into action, stabbing furiously at the undead naga with her Holy short sword, screaming profanities at it to distract it from her friend.

Trellus calls out to Tishe' to give Gry a healing punch while he will concentrate on the Yuan-Ti... he lashes out to the Yuan-Ti with all that he is worth... the weapon is able to destroy the abomination with one single blow but the Yuan-Ti has a very strong will (will save 36 - success) and is capable to withstand Trellus's blow...
Seeing Tishe' being overwhelmed by the Yuan-Ti Yanosh charges and lashes out at the creature hurting the Yuan-Ti once more...
Having taken massive damage Gilan sees no other outcome than to switch form to stay alive... moments later a towering 9ft white bear stands in front of the Deathbringer Twins...
Tishe' is slammed twice by the Yuan-Ti and feels her soul and body being ripped apart... her spells slip from her mind... life being drained the Mystic falls to the ground...
Meanwhile her Bison and Beetles bravely continue the massacre. The Bison almost destroys the Undead Entomber...
The Beetles too continue to nibble away HP's
Flea reacts in horror as she watches Tishe' go down... Screaming profanities she lashes out at the Bone Naga hoping to distract it from her friends... let's say she caught the Naga's attention...
Grymash, Olaf and Vayine remain numbed to all that is happening and by doing so endanger the whole operation...

[OOC - Flea has Neutralize Poison in effect] [Also, at exactly 0 hp, Tishe is disabled, not unconscious?]
The Yuan-ti easily shrugs off the effects of the Disrupting Mace. Tishe goes down. Gry goes down. Vayine and Olaf are just standing there. And Trellus feels the soul-sucking touch of the undead before him.
Looks like this might be it, the blond man thinks.
Nevertheless, he struggles on. "Yanosh, see if you can get Tishe on her feet. I'll keep this treadles attention"
Dropping the useless mace, Trellus fires a ray of light right into the creature's face. [Cast defensively, Concentration check 32 vs DC 18 to avoid AoO Cast Searing Light.

[ooc: Many, many apologies. We had our first baby born last week, earlier than we expected. Mother and daughter (and me) are happy and recovering well.]
Olaf snaps out of his reverie. He takes a glance at the grim situation, realizing only luck will help them now. Kissing his wrist, he tumbles towards Gry, snaking between the twin's flail strikes [tumble check 30 vs DC 15, move to BB35] and activating his displacing cloak to provide a modicum of protection against the ongoing strikes. He calls on Celsiun to heal Grymash, losing his deeper darkness spell to cast cure serious wounds (provokes attack of opportunity), healing Gry for 19 hit points.

The group is slowly losing ground to the undead horde that is attacking them and he is starting to fear for the lives of his pack. He does not care about himself, but he must not lose anyone else. Then he is being struck by the cleric that has moved up on him again. The pain is not that great and he takes it in stride, but his answer to the attack is more fierce than that.
His claws rip into the twin and he starts to draw him into his large hairy form, his teeth attempting to find purchase in the clerics face...but finds he cannot get a clean shot.

Flea remains undeterred by the undead naga's attack. Emboldened by not only her mission to protect the plains, but also the notion that Gargul has cursed her never to die, she presses her attack. [Hit AC 20 and 33 for 6+9 and 6+6 hp for a total of 27 dmg]. Her small voice rings out in anger as she shouts at the naga with each thrust of her sword.
[OOC neutralize poison in effect so Flea only takes 10 hp dmg)

(Sorry, I was working too late at the lab. For some reason I can't log in and post from one of the lab computers. Probably have the cookies disabled and I don't have access to those settings. For future reference, just assume Gry repeats his last action. He is basically a one trick pony.)
The Battle for the Central Portal - ROUND 13...[DM StevenVdB] d20+12=31 ; d8+10=14 ; d20+16=27 ; d20+11=15 ; d20+6=11 ; d20+16=23 ; d20+21=37 ; d20+16=19 ; d8+10=17 ; d20+9=19 ; d100=60 ; d100=10 ; d20+10=23 ; d6+9=12 ; d20+10=14 ; d100=66 ; d20+10=13 ; d100=52 ; d20+10=15 ; d100=31 ; d100=66 ; d20+10=12 ; Wednesday March 4th, 2009 4:18:00 AM Yanosh hopes for Trellus to be able to reach Gry but Trellus hoped Yanosh could do the same thing... Both lash out at the Yuan-Ti! Yanosh is unable to penetrate the Yuan-Ti's tough hide. Trellus abandons the idea of using his mace and instead casts a Searing Light spell on the Cleric of Ga'al... (spell resistance check rolled for you 31 vs 18 -- success) Trellus's spell penetrates through the Yuan-Ti's spell resistance and it's armor wounding the creature bad.
(ooc Olaf -- Congrats pall!! Problem is that I did not know why you weren't posting and you did not manage to assign a sub... good thing is that baby and mother are doing ok! In the end that's all that matters!!)
Olaf snaps out of his beautiful dreams of babies being born and takes a glance at the grim situation. He tumbles towards Gry doing alotofthingsyoushouldnotalldoinoneturnbutgiventhesituationI'mgoingtoallow and brings the Half-Orc back to life... Gry is able to get back on his feet now...
Tishe' blinks owlishly from the floor and her hands and voice automatically move in the defensive casting of a Cure Light Wounds spell... she as well regains her health and is capable to getting up again... She never the less still has 3 negative levels...
All her animals continue their attacks but they are getting weary of the battle. Non are able to connect.
Gilan Bear lunges himself on the Twin once again and for the second time embraces him in a deadly dance... 2 hits strike through and he manages to grapple the Twin for the second time! The Deathbringer howls in pain and defiance but will not give in just yet!
Knowing Gargul will not embrace her if she should fail on this mission Flea continues to rattle the Bone Naga's carcass... Brought to the verve of death the Naga is not giving in though...
Gry regains consciousness and looks into the eyes of the Dwarf that saved him. Vayine remains staggered... (Tony where art though?!?)
-----------------------------
Twin 1 is grappled by Gilan for the second time... Gilan, Olaf, Gry, and Vayine all feel the Twin's dark power touching their spine... all make will save DC23 or loose 14HP... the Deathbringer himself though regains 14Hp with this Negative Bursts... an ability they can use once every 4 turns...
His Twin brother is pleased to see the Half-Orc down on the ground and picks his second best looking target... Vayine... He makes his Flails sing and aims for the Drow... (hitting AC27, 15, 11, 23) Amazingly the Drow's armor deflects all hits!! The Twin growls in anger! Has he mistaken the Half-Orc to be the strongest foe? Should he have removed the Drow's magic protections first?
The Yuan-Ti now is surrounded by Trellus and Yanosh. Again Trellus is the only one able to hurt him and appears to be the most formidable foe of the two attacking him atm. He slams and bites the cleric (hitting AC37 and 19 -- damage 17 -1 level). Trellus again feels life force being taken and also the loss of certain abilities...
The Bone Nage does not like the blinking rogue down there... the poison did not work and the little creature almost killed her! Due to the damage Flea did the creature can hardly concentrate on any spells so all that is left is to bite and sting the Rogue again... (hitting miss chance 60 AC19 and miss chance 10)
#15 (hitting AC23 -- damage 12) brings and end to the short life of the Celestial Bison. #14 (hitting AC14) misses the Celestial Beetle
Flea finds herself surrounded by 4 Entombers now!! They all slam into the little rogue... (hitting MC66 AC13, MC52 AC15, MC31, MC66 AC12) but again amazingly not a single entomber is capabale of hitting the nimble rogue!! Flea got away quite nicely there!!
The Entombers walk up to Tishe' and see she's still conscious... they had hoped to drag her away and engrave her... instead they see the Mystic still has life force in her. They stand ready to knock her down once she gets up...
4 more are going after Gilan Bear. The rest is swarming around the Naga and the Yuan-Ti to help...
The Bloodpack is completely surrounded and the outcome appears to be unavoidable... The figment of Ga'al continues to laugh hysterically...
"Soon... yess soon now will you all join my legions..."
