Jass AC: unknown HP: DEAD :-) Sunday May 2nd, 2010 11:37:46 AM
Jass practices going through objects and seeing through them while inside. He watches the timidity of Polo and feels justified. That's right, you stupid animal, you don't want a piece of this!, and then he shakes his head, trying to keep the darkness from expanding.

Belkior d20+9=24 ; d20+14=29 ; d20+8=12 ; Sunday May 2nd, 2010 10:55:46 PM
The halfling cleric watches as Jass casts spells and is only sometimes able to affect the living world. After a moment, Belkior responds to Jass' statement. Spot = 24, Spellcraft = 29, Knowledge Arcana = 12
"Hmm ... you're right. We will, at a minimum, be facing those spectres again. And if that necromancer is as powerful as he seemed, probably more, too."
"Hmmm ... I wonder how much time it would take to petition Lord Gargul to release your spirit. Of course, from the looks of things, your spirit isn't exactly in Gargul's domains, yet."
"I suppose I should look after your body, too."
Belkior will cast Gentle Repose at some time, presumably the first day when we're healing and prepping.
Jass AC: unknown HP: DEAD :-) d20+21=39 ; Monday May 3rd, 2010 2:16:14 PM
It startles Jass to hear Belkior talk about talking to some Northern god about getting bespelled back to life, but the other part makes too much sense. Read Lips DC15 Highlight to display spoiler: { If my spirit isn't in the Lands of Rest, no spell would bring me back. We need to release me from whatever curse I'm under, or slay the undead thing I've become. Otherwise, I don't think I'll get alive or to rest ever again!}

Syr d20+9=15 ; Monday May 3rd, 2010 2:56:51 PM
Syr watches Jass' lips and is barely able to make out what he is saying. Still confused by the situation the elf responds loudly once again, "OKAY YOU DO THAT."
In the morning, Syr approaches the captain, "If you would sir, please wait until we depart and then set sail to pick us up. Do not wait longer than 1 day at that spot. If we aren't coming up by then, then things went poorly." He nods at Jass one time to prove a point. Joining the others, Syr waits until the last moment before casting spells, "Let's do it."
He asks Grigory, "Can you get us to just out of sight of that last room but not all the way back to water's edge? How about CJ23 or so and then quickly dismiss the shrinkage so we can operate? Sound reasonable to everyone? Cast your spells before we leave and use that wand too. (Invis)"

Thankful to be made whole again by Belkior, the fighter sharpens both his swords and one might notice a gleam in his eye about the impending battle. "Just get me in there, I have a score to settle." Once the group arrives, he quickly quaffs a flying potion given to him by Syr and moves away from the others to the north.
Brahmah, Captain of the Chosen of Domi (AC 27, Hps 157) Polo (AC 21, HPs 54/67) Monday May 3rd, 2010 7:58:02 PM
The minotaur shivers looking at the ghost of Jass. "So, maybe he should try possessing someone... you know, so he has the ability to talk. It looks like he's trying but nothing is coming out."
Looking at Polo, Brahmah completely understands the disquiet. It is spooky and the body is just laying there.

Grigory sits about various places on the deck of the Wrath, oblivious to the fact that he is most likely in the way of the normal running of the ship. He makes notes in one of his volumes of the events underwater, and he makes sketches of that experience too. The halfling smiles at his own handiwork (Craft, Illustrate: 22, 19, 29) He also sketches what he can see of the Lake, choosing to not illustrate the Wrath - just in case the Captain objects. (Craft, Illustrate: 21, 21, 17)
"Yes, Syr, that is about where I was thinking to dive in, pardon the pun. We will need to be Reduced again, and I will dismiss that as soon as I can. And, Syr, I've readied Heroism for you. I think our leader is already quite a hero, but another buff is always good. Will you accept it?"
When casting Buffs in readiness, Grigory asks, "Who wants Stoneskin? I've three prepared." He looks to the three with big, pointy metal items about their person. "And I've got two Blur spells, useful up front in a fight, so I'm told.

Jass tries to extend the distance he can be from his body, and then pointedly taps his foot at the others.

Corvis (sub Scott) d20+4=19 ; Tuesday May 4th, 2010 8:15:26 PM
Acting on Syr's joking comment earlier. Corvis proceeds to tie Jass' body to the back of Polo. Careful to stay away from the bear's teeth. "Easy there big fella. Just adding a little 'dead' weight." (Rope use 19).
At the others offers of spells, "How about that invisibility wand? oh, can I take one of each of the spells you and Belkior are offering?" He grins at the two spellcasters to show his appreciation.
Syr Tuesday May 4th, 2010 8:17:18 PM
The monk nods at the others spells, "Good choices. You two know best I guess. How about just the heroism and death ward for me? I'm a bit more resistant than most to their magics it seems."
Brahmah, Captain of the Chosen of Domi (AC 27, Hps 157) Polo (AC 21, HPs 54/67) Tuesday May 4th, 2010 8:52:43 PM
Brahmah wretches a bit at the thought of having to carry a corpse around. You usually bury or destroy them.
"I will carry it but the chances of its staying in one piece is slim. And apart from that, it can lure carnivorous animals to us at night and under water the sharks will swarm."
Brahmah puts his amulet back on and pockets his necklace for quick retrieval.

The Danger of the Cultist Caves - DMAl d100=59 ; Tuesday May 4th, 2010 8:56:32 PM
The Crimson Shields cluster in a formation that they are now familiar with. Mac and Brahmah take a front facing position and, along with Polo, form a wall behind which Syr, Belkior, Grigory and Corvis follow. Polo moans in complaint when Corvis ties the body of Jass across the bear's back. Fortunately, Brahmah is there to aid his companion. He takes Jass himself, and so with Jass' body strapped to Brahmah's back, they are ready to go.
Preparatory magic is cast. The Shields are ready for a fight. Grigory reduces the group in size, and then casts a teleport spell. The gods are with the halfling today, and the teleport brings the Shields in on target. They are back in the caves. Grigory quickly dismisses the reducing spell, but no attack comes. The caves are quiet.May 4, 2010 They are quiet, but not necessarily without their dangers. Behind the Crimson Shields, a symbol lies, etched into the floor, aglow with magic. In the dim light at the edge of Belkior's Daylight spell, Corvis spots it first. (At CF34.) The rogue's trap-sense tingles. Mac sees it too from where he's at, and Brahmah as well. In Corvis' estimation, they have just missed setting it off.

I try to remember them, but even when posted, it's not easy.

Preparations in Enemy Territory / Round 02 - DMAl Wednesday May 5th, 2010 9:01:20 PM
Belkior begins casting a spell of summoning. Jass moves in front of him, pale and translucent, mouthing words. The halfling cleric maintains his concentration and continues with the spell. (Next round, please roll for the number of bears, Belkior, and place them on the map wherever you desire.)
Grigory also contemplates summoning some muscle in an ursine form. He has the feeling that he can quite likely summon quite a few of them, but he waits until there is more space for them to arrive.
Mac waits for more spells of augmentation, but they don't appear to be coming yet.
Jass, after attempting to speak with Belkior, tends to his surroundings. He can see nothing unusual or threatening in the area. He hears nothing either.
Syr casts a spell and his body grows larger, pushing both Grigory and Corvis out of the way. Corvis eyes the Symbol with alarm as his body is pushed closer to it, but nothing happens. Syr then activates his boots and rises up into the air. He urges the others to go. The time is running down on spells of enhancement.
Corvis gulps down a potion that grants him the power of flight, and leads the way. Keeping to the shadows, the rogue blends almost seamlessly with the cave wall. There is nothing to see within the range of Belkior's Daylight spell, but something seems wrong here. Not necessarily a trap, but the rogue's trap sense warns him that something is wrong.

The halfling cleric completes his spell and summons two celestial polar bears. Belkior peers through Podo's legs and places both bears on the opposite side of the open area, in the entrance to the room on the north side.
Hopefully the two bears don't see anything to attack. Just in case, Belkior speaks in Celestial to command them to "Stay".
Once he is completed, Belkior casts a Detect Magic spell and looks both forward and back in an attempt to identify the magical traps left by their opponents. Spellcraft = 15 (for ahead), 23 (for back)

Belkior finishes his casting, and two big white bears appear across the room. They do not understand his words, but the intent of his command is clear, and they stay. (Celestial Animals do not have a language, and therefore do not understand Celestial. However, you may apply any of the Tricks listed in the Handle Animal Skill and the animals will react as if trained.)
>From where he stands, Belkior begins a Detect Magic spell. The spell, pointed forward detects magic. But, that could easily be just his polar bears. (It would takes six rounds to assess the auras both front and back, and interesting things have already started to happen. I'll leave it at just this one round for now, Belkior.)
Syr casts an Enlarge spell on Mac. In the process of swelling to a Huge size, Mac shoves Brahmah to a different position. Syr flies up and over to the far side of the cave. The darkness prevents him from seeing much beyond the bridge, but one thing that Syr - and all of the Crimson Shields, for that matter - notice, is that the bodies of the slain Kuo-toas are now gone! The body of the gray dwarf still lies in the other room. It is stripped. But it is still there. Glancing back into the niche, Syr can see that the body of the shadowy snake is still there as well.
Corvis proceeds more cautiously than Syr. The rogue, though, is taking point, a much more dangerous undertaking. He flies in the direction of the bridge, and gets quite far before he begins to feel the affects of the spell. The spell attacks all that is good in Corvis, punishing him for this quality. (20hp damage against Corvis. CL Check vs Corvis' Spell Resistance 30 from Belkior = 25.) Corvis feels the attack of magic. He also feels the counter from one of Belkior's spells. The silent duel of magics is brief, and in the end, Corvis remains untouched, saved by Belkior's protective spell.
And, though Corvis is nearer the bridge, the light from Belkior's Daylight spell is not. Corvis notices nothing more than he did before.
Mac follows Corvis, and is also hit by the magic that cloaks the area. Mac, however, is not as lucky. (44hp damage against Mac. CL Check vs Mac' Spell Resistance 30 from Belkior = 34.) Mac feels the forbidding magic strike through his Spell Resistance, savaging the minotaur's love for the good and the lawful. (I placed you at DB20, Mac. You are now too big to have fit at DB21)
Jass casts a spell upon himself, and then moves directly through the rock. It's a strange sensation. For one moment he's blind, and in that moment he can also feel which direction is to the surface of the rock as well as the fact that no living thing is standing next to that surface. Before him he can see Syr, Corvis and Mac. Mac is in the throes of some form of magic attack. Marshalling his knowledge of Spellcraft, the sorcerer deduces that the magic involved here is a Forbiddance. (Spellcraft Taking10 = 30 for Jass vs DC26.) That neither Syr nor he appears to be affected, speaks to the boundaries of the magic.
Grigory comes around the corner, ready with a dispel magic. He too sees what Jass sees, and the halfling's craft in spells being, if anything, better than Jass', he too recognizes this as a Forbiddance. He knows that this will be extremely difficult to deal with, and the Shields may simply have to grit their teeth and charge through.
Mac and Corvis are within the Forbiddance and within the dim outer light of Belkior's Daylight. That light ends at the middle of the bridge. Beyond that is dark and unknown. The Crimson Shield then hear a splash, as though of something hitting the water. Then another. Corvis and Mac think that it has come from just across the bridge. Or, at least, that is what it sounded like.
(Will Save vs the Forbiddance for half damage is DC25)

The halfling cleric squeezes between Polo and Brahmah, trying to get to a spot where he can observe the magic protecting the approach to the bridge. Once there, Belkior tries to remove the magic that has already damage one of his companions.

"Forbiddence, companions, is a particularly effective area spell that we should use on our own quarters. Though we would need everyone to have the same level of respect for law that I hold," the Halfling coughs awkwardly, "if you know what I mean." Grigory is Chaotic Good. "I fear that our best bet is to tough this one out. Set your mind to 11. Meditate on your Happy Place and force your way into the area. I'll be thinking of you."
He charges forward, gritting his own teeth. His mind is in his grandfather's cellar, where there are several handmade wooden toys, and two full racks of vintage red wine. The Halfling takes cover behind the rocks.
Will Save 35: "Aggh," he sighs with some relief.

The Closed Door / Round 04 - DMAl d20+14=24 ; Friday May 7th, 2010 8:46:26 PM
Brahmah casts Owl's wisdom on himself.
Mac shakes off much of the hurt piled upon him from the Forbiddance, and he pushes on, balancing easily upon the bridge that is now a bit narrow for him. The going is a bit slow, though. So he only makes it to a point midway across the bridge. The very extreme edge of Belkior's light only reaches this far anyway. Beyond is pitch blackness.
At the same time, Belkior comes around the corner, helping with a bit more light. His spellcraft isn't as well versed as either of the archaists, but his power as a spell caster is unparalleled. The halfling calls upon Alemi to dispel the Forbiddance ... and it is gone.
His mind on the impending pain and cellular damage, Grigory fails to notice Belkior's removal of the magic. He goes charging across the expanse of the now-banished Forbiddance, and is surprised to find ... that nothing comes.
Corvis flies forward. He flies out over the water. He flies past Mac. He flies into the darkness. When he stops, he feels out in front of him and touches a corner of dark stone wall. In the darkness, he nearly dashed his brains right into the corner.
Syr drinks a potion of Darkvision and then flies to the south of Mac. With his Darkvision he can see Corvis, feeling around, blindly ahead of himself in the darkness.
Jass casts a haste spell upon himself and then tries to pass through another section of rock. This, time, however, he finds that he cannot pass straight through. There is too much rock in the way. Instead, he travels along the outer edge of the rock, winding up still inside. (Couldn't quite make it to DC25 on a 60ft move, Jass. I left you at DC24.)
As Belkior comes forward, bringing the light along with him, a door is revealed to the Crimson Shields. When they last saw this spot, the door was opened. The Kuo-toan Priestess and her two guardians had just come through it. Now, the door is closed. The door seems to be made from a single piece of stone. To Corvis' eye there appears no locking mechanism. The door need simply be pulled open. (The door appears to open outward into the area in which the Shields now occupy.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OoC:
Although true end of the round leaves you with the closed door still unseen in the darkness. I figure that it would only be a matter of a move action on Belkior's part to reveal it. So go ahead and plan with the closed door as part of your next round's plan.
Please list all spells currently effective on your character with each post. I try to remember them, but even when posted, it's not easy. If you don't list the spell and I make a mistake, you might just have to live with the result.

"Wait," cautions Grigory via Message, "Belkior, can you see any magic about the door? I could use Knock on the door."
Jass AC: unknown HP: DEAD :-) Saturday May 8th, 2010 1:31:44 AM
Jass hears Grigory talk to him, obviously the halfling wizard saw the motions of his hands and figured out the spell of Haste. Jass replies Read Lips DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {It seems your magic is as ineffectual on me as mine is on you right now, you pompous Bounder. I'll take care of myself since you so obviously can't help.} And then he shakes his head, willing the darkness to receed, if only for a little while.
The incorporal sorcerer finds he can't move forward even if he wants to since Brahmah and his own body is too far to the rear. Impatiently, he waits for the minotaur to catch up.

"Sorry, Grigory. I couldn't maintain that spell and also dispel the Forbiddance spell."
The halfling cleric gestures towards the two polar bears and moves forward to rejoin his companions. And, not least, to cast some light upon the situation. With the magic from Grigory, Belkior is easily able to get right behind Mac and possibly even through the legs of the enlarged minotaur.
Hopefully the polar bears follow and close up right behind Mac.

Syr waves an arm back at Brahmah, "Let's go big guy. At the very least we could use Polo up here since Jass could probably move straight through that door and give us a clue as to what is on the other side." Syr moves within 10' of the door as the spell is cast on it. He remains at his 20' elevation though.

Grigory warns of the door, remaining back where he is, behind the cover of the corner of rock.
Jass continues to fight off the dark thoughts that continue to creep insidiously into his mind. He waits for Brahmah to catch up with his body. (A detail that the DM temporarily forgot about as well.)
Belkior apologizes for having dropped the Detect Magic spell. But such is a small price to pay for dispelling the Forbiddance. He speeds forward on the wings of the Haste spell. The halfling's polar bears follow behind. The area is now brightly lit by Belkior's Daylight spell. The light reveals an ornate door with a huge ring set in the middle of the door. It is clear that the ring is meant to be pulled on in order to open the door. The door looks heavy. It shouldn't be that difficult, but it would take either someone of the above average strength or possibly two or three lesser beings to open this door.
From his place behind the rock, Grigory casts a Knock spell. If the door was locked before, it is certainly not locked now.
Mac finishes his cross and comes to the south side of the door. He looks about for what might have made the splashing noise earlier. He sees nothing in the immediate area. But he does recall seeing the waters below the bridge rolling and lapping at the walls as though something had passed by recently, possibly to the north. Nothing was there though any longer.
Syr calls for Brahmah to come join the others. Then he flies to the door alongside Mac.
Brahmah follows the others with Polo following along behind him.
The door is hinged on the south side. From where Mac is standing, he could easily reach out and grasp the metal ring at its center and pull the door open.

I've decided that the Knock spell does indeed actually open the door.
This change, however, would involve a near complete rewrite of last night's post as well as a new map. That's something that I can't do now.
So, for now, you need not open the door. That will come tonight. For now, the massive slab of the stone door trembles, as it prepares to spring open under the force of Grigory's spell.
How will the Crimson Shields prepare?

The Door Opens / Round 06 - DMAl Tuesday May 11th, 2010 9:01:34 PM
Belkior moves up behind Mac and heals the minotaur of all the wounds previously created by the Forbiddance. Belkior's Polar Bears push rudely past Brahmah and Polo to join the one who summoned them. Some bears where not brought up with manners, nor with much in the way of personality.
Syr hovers in place waiting for the others.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The door suddenly springs open, compelled by Grigory's magic. Belkior's Daylight spell floods the area revealing what lies beyond. Five armored Kuo-toa stand with shortspears and shields. Some forty feet beyond the door, the dry land sinks again into water. In the water float five more Kuo-toan heads.
There is something different about these Kuo-toa, though. Though they appear to wear the same armor as the ones already slain, though the shields look the same, the way that these Kuo-toa carry themselves is markedly different. It is then, that the Crimson Shields notice ... these Kuo-toa are all elderly. Two of the five on land are old males and the other three are elderly females. The ones out in the water all appear to be female as well.
The five on land move in to block the door. They stagger under the weight of the armor they wear. But with brave conviction they brandish the poisoned tip shortspears.
The heads in the water hold their position, while, in the dark beyond Belkior's Daylight spell, the sound of spell casting can be heard. (Spellcraft vs DC24 to recognize Highlight to display spoiler: {Summon Monster IX}. Spellcraft vs DC21 to recognize Highlight to display spoiler: {True Seeing}.)

The halfling cleric listens to the sounds of spellcasting coming from the darkness beyond the reach of his spell but he cannot tell what is occurring. However, considering where they are, Belkior doubts that it will be mass cure spells. Spellcraft = 18, 17
These creatures in the door are unusual and Belkior tries to identify what they may be. Some type of undead is possible, maybe, or these kuo-toans could be affected by some spell. Spot = 20; Knowledge: Religion = 30; Spellcraft = 34 (natural 20)
On the chance that the creatures may still be living, the Paragon does not send his summoned creatures to attack. Instead, he gestures to have them move to either side to allow the fighters to approach. Hoepfully Syr or Mac will move to engage these creatures.
Regardless, Belkior will not be the first through the door.

Jass flies forward, pacing himself with Brahmah and his dead body. When he sees the Kua-Toa, and hears the spells, he shouts a warning. And then he is frustrated since no one is paying attention to him to read his lips. Grrrr....

Mac feels better, and gives Belkior a "thumbs up" from behind his back. He moves up and around the corner (25' from DR24 to DT21). His opponents... "Someone tell them they can surrender or flee. This is not the job for the elderly." Mac attempts to make his point by sundering the shortspear in 2's grasp (Result:39, dealing 61 damage), before taking a 5' step back (to DS21).

Curiosity now brings Grigory to move out from behind the rock. He continues to relay messages between the Crimson Sheilds, as he moves to stand at DB20, facing the bridge. He is quite concerned about the bridge and what may lie in the water, and equally concerned about a foe sneaking up behind him, though not particularly focused on what he can see. "Wish I had Fly," he mumbles to no one.

Belkior directs his Polar Bears to positions more out of the line of the doorway, and then he eyes the line of elderly Kuo-toa for signs of deception. The figures before the Crimson Shields seem neither divine nor heinous manifestations. Nor do they seem magically derived in any way. These creatures before him seem truly to be elderly individuals of the Kuo-toan race.
Syr moves into the corner to make room for Mac, though there's plenty of room below. With the minotaur's greater reach he could devastate the forward line of foes without any of them being able to retaliate.
Brahmah and Polo cross the bridge, wary of the dark water below. They arrive at the other side without incident, where Brahmah magics the bear into a huge monster with tough hide.
Jass leaves the stone wall as he feels his body moving to the east. He walks through the air to a place just above one of Belkior's Polar Bears. (Belkior placed one of his bears here first, so I moved Jass to DO23/15ft.) The incorporeal form of Jass moves his hands and moves his mouth in an incantation. A killing cloud of toxic gas springs up atop the elderly Kuo-toa. Amazingly, one actually recognizes the illusion for what it is. Two more are, even more surprisingly, able to withstand much of the effect.
Mac shatters the spear in the hand of the center-most Kuo-toa. The elderly woman flinches and jumps a step back. (Note: You can't take a 5ft step in the same round in which you move and you've already moved 25ft. See here.)
Grigory comes out from behind the rock and stands before the bridge where Brahmah had been not moments before. He looks around and listens, but neither sees nor hears anything threatening or unusual. He does see, however, that Belkior's light is leaving him behind.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If the foremost phalanx of elderly Kuo-toa were not completely convinced by Mac's display of prowess against the spear held in the hand of one of their numbers, then Jass' cloud of death most certainly makes the point. The five elderly Kuo-toa turn and flee for the water.
The Kuo-toan heads floating in the water also withdraw a bit. They seem to be clustering together, gathering in fear and hesitation.
Suddenly, from out of the wall, a small hand takes a swipe at Mac. (Coming from square DW24: Touch Mac AC17; Will 19 vs Hide from Undead vs DC13; 50% Miss Chance 33 / Fail) Hand sweeps through the air and is a fraction away from making contact with Mac's armor, when it shifts position and misses by a hair. Another hand comes from the wall next to one of Belkior's Polar Bears. (Coming from square DT18: Touch P1 AC19; 50% Miss Chance 90 / Pass; P1 gains two Negative Levels.) The hand touches the unfortunate bear, and its life force drains away.
A giant demonic spider appears on the ceiling to the southeast. It scuttles closer to the door, gazing at Mac and Syr with baleful intelligent eyes.
There is more spell casting from the back. A thin mist suddenly appears directly before the door, not feet from Mac's face. It waits there as though daring any to enter. (Spellcraft vs DC20 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Mind Fog}.)

"Watch out for that Mind Fog spell! It will weaken your mind, making it easier for their spells to attack you!"
Belkior directs his bears to move out and away from the walls so that the spectres cannot attack without showing more of themselves. After doing this, Belkior moves through Mac's legs until he is standing just inside the doorway and can just barely see the summoned creature clinging to the ceiling. The Paragon casts another Greater Dispel Magic in an attempt to remove the summoned creature. He concentrates, and tries his mightiest to remove that threat and the Mind Fog, too.

"Watch the Mind Fog, and someone cast Airwalk, and it didn't sound like Belkior," Grigory announces through Message. "I don't trust this bridge, or rather, the water beneath it."

"Move it, you big lug," he says with a laugh. "I can't see anything. Sounds like those naughty children are out playing again. The should be spanked, and sent back to Hell."

Jass' Cloudkill drifts over the water, moving 10 feet away from Jass' position. Yet the incorporal sorcerer has other things on his mind.
"There!" thinks Jass as he spots the spectral hand groping for Mac, "That's got to be one of those spectres that were confounding the minotaurs and caused me to get dead!"
Jass considers that if he can't always affect the real Wold, then the real Wold can't always affect him. And hopefully that includes seeing...
Jass takes aim at the spectre and waits for a groping hand before casting a Disintegrate spell. Ufortuneately, if he can't target the hand, the spell affects the material Wold, and takes a chunk out of the wall!

Belkior warns the Crimson Shields about the Mind Fog spell and directs his summoned Polar Bears before making for a small corner in the shadow of Mac and just a few feet shy of the swirling clouds of dangerous and debilitating mists. From there, the little cleric sends a dispelling magic at a point that takes in both the huge demonic spider that hangs from the ceiling and the Mind Fog. At first nothing happens, then the gods of heroism intervene, and it is the demonic spider, the Bebelith that is dispelled. The portion of the Mind Fog overlapped by the dispelling magic also disappears. But, as much of it is shared by Jass' Cloud Kill spell, there is still much of the Mind Fog still left, blocking the door. (I assumed that you didn't want to place the dispel to disrupt Jass' Cloudkill.)
Grigory runs across the bridge, winding up just behind Brahmah. Below wait the dark waters under the bridge. The little wizard keeps an eye out for the appearance of either of the Spectre Twins, ready to disintegrate the first one that shows. He knows, from his religious studies of undead, that even the most skillful of shots may miss a spectre, passing through their incorporeal bodies without doing them harm. (Miss chance 20 / Miss)
Jass' illusory Cloudkill spell drifts 10ft to the east. Jass himself, like Grigory, readies disintegrate one of the Spectre Twins. Is the child-like horror still in the place it was before? Will it reach out to touch Mac again? (If the spectre doesn't show it does not trigger the Ready action. You save your spell, Jass.)
Brahmah casts a spell upon himself, watching the proceedings from the back of the group.
Mac holds his position.
Syr flies through the gap presented by the moving Cloudkill spell and straight through the Mind Fog. He aims a blow at the space where the demonic spider occupied moments ago, now dispelled by Belkior.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The little blonde boy spectre on the north wall pokes its head out of the wall just in time to see Grigory's green beam of disintegration miss and blast a hole in the rock wall. It dives back into the stone, rising up to take a swipe at Syr from inside the wall. (Coming from square DW24-15ft High: Touch Syr AC7; 50% Miss Chance 33 / Fail)
On the south side, the little blonde girl spectre also looks out to gain her bearings and choose a new target. Her head swivels toward Mac just in time to catch a green beam of light that comes at her from Jass' hand. The beam, as incorporeal as she is, catches her on the temple. Her spectral constitution (or possibly her undead luck) saves the little spectre. The beam fails to destroy her, and she ducks back into the rock not to be seen again.
From the east a voice shouts in the high burbling language of the Kuo-toa. Jass and Brahmah understand what is being said. "<untranslatable reference to a soft bottom dwelling sea worm>, your lives are nothing before the might of Shooldoomploo! Fight in the name of the mighty god and you will be exalted in death!." One of the five kuo-toa, an elderly woman, breaks ranks and charges at Belkior. Froth flies from her frog-like mouth as she shambles across the stone and straight through the Mind Fog. (Mac take AoO vs AC16, 14hp damage or more and you drop her.) Though the old woman's feeble strength cannot possibly begin to force the poisoned spear through Belkior's armor, she pays no heed, her eyes rummy and glassed over.
With Belkior's Daylight a bit further closer to the door, more of the next chamber is illuminated. Or, rather, it would be, except that the Cloudkill spell is so dense that nothing can be seen through it. To the southeast, the elderly kuo-toa still mill about, hesitant in their fear.
Only Syr sees the other shore beyond the water. In the dim outer light of the Daylight spell, Syr sees the two Hands of Shooldoomploo, the huge mutated kuo-toa and the smaller normal kuo-toa. They stand at the edge of the water as though waiting.
From beyond them comes the sounds of more spell casting. (Spellcraft vs DC23 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Summon Monster VIII}.)
(Spellcraft vs DC17 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Blindness/Deafness}.) Syr suddenly feels himself the subject of a magical attack. His sight begins to grow dim. He is going blind. (Fortitude Save vs DC21 or become Permanently Blind.)

The halfling cleric tries to ignore the elderly kuo-toan that has moved up to him, trying to do what he needs to accomplish without harming the poor creature. This time, Belkior recognizes both the spells cast within the room.
"Watch out for another summoned creature! And I might be able to do something for you, Syr, if you can't withstand that magic."
Belkior can see that the Cloudkill has moved beyond where any opponents are likely to be and will soon be spreading over the water. But that Mind Fog spell could be a problem for his companions.
OOC - Assuming that the kuo-toan is paste due to an AoO from Mac ...
Belkior moves forward and through the thin mist and Jass' spell, easily withstanding the magical and poisonous effects. Will = 33, Immune to Poison (Paragon 2)
Once he is near, but not quite at, the water's edge, the Paragon turns and casts a spell to remove the toxic clouds.

Syr throws a comment over his shoulder for the others to hear, "Guys, the group from yesterday is across the water just kinda standing there. Don't bunch up too much and give them a target."
The elf drifts down slightly staying out of reach of the spears and aims several kicks at the Kuo-Toan's heads but mainly ends up hitting air? (attack 37,25,25,23,21 Damage 23+2shock, 9+2ice,17,21,21+3ice OOC: How about some ACs Al?)

Jass' Cloudkill drifts over the water, moving 10 feet away from Jass' position.
The sorcerer can hear Syr and understands that the Aboleth is bottling up the Crimson Shields and wearing them down for the kill, just like last time. "Oh really? I've got something to say about that, you unpronounceable underwater prarie pig!", thinks the incorporal sorcerer.
Assuming that Syr is going to be taking the brunt of the enemy assault and the others are bottlenecked in the short tunnel, Jass wants to move out. The constraint of being close to his body forces him to stay nearer Brahmah.
Again, Jass Readies a Disintegrate spell and watches the right side of the tunnel for any spectre movement.

"Watch the Mind Fog, and someone cast another Summon Monster -- It's a strong one, Eight I believe. Oh, look out Syr. Syr's been hit with the Blindness spell." Grigory continues to maintain a narrative for the mighty Crimson Shields. He relays any messages from the others, and adds what he can about spells. "Jass, can you Disintegrate a pathway around the Mind Fog. If you knock out that corner of rock I think we can get past safely." Grigory begins to cast Magic Missile, waiting for one of those dead kids to show its angelically evil face.

All Revealed / Round 09 - DMAl Friday May 14th, 2010 9:37:21 PM
As brave a halfling as they come, Belkior steps over the body of the old female kuo-toa - struck down by Mac as she had charged in a frenzy, martyr to her terrible god. Belkior steps over the body and then directly into the Mind Fog. He walks through the fog untouched, and then into the terrible killing cloud. He walks to the shore, lets loose a spell, and a wall of wind that winds and wraps back and forth, tearing the mists of Mind Fog to bits and dispersing them to the four winds.
Syr shakes off the spell of Blindness. (I rolled for you. Fort 21 Nat20.) He drifts down five feet and begins kicking at the heads of the elderly Kuo-toa. Contrary to his expectations almost every one of his blows lands true. Before they are even aware of what his happening, two more elderly kuo-toan females lie dead. At least it was a swift death.
Jass reads the enemy's strategy, but he his constrained by the location of his mortal remains. Itching to move forward, he must stay where he is. Readying another green beam, he waits for the blonde girl to pop her head out once more.
Grigory warns the other Shields about the Blindness and the coming extradimensional monster. Unaware that Belkior has already done away with the Mind Fog, he suggests a plan to get around it. Then the little wizard lays in wait for the little boy spectre, readying missiles of magic. (No. Sorry, Grigory. You generally can't tell what creature is coming from a Summoning spell.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The little boy spectre appears again. This time his hand rises up from out of the floor. (Under DR18) The undead child reaches out to touch the Polar Bear's foot. This time, however, Grigory is ready. Five silver Magic Missiles streak from the halfling's fingers and smash against the spectre's hand. (Touch P1 AC17, Miss Chance 60 /Pass, P1 takes 2 more Negative Levels) The small translucent hand touches the bear's leg and draws more vitality to himself. Then the hand vanishes again.
Though Jass waits, the girl spectre never reappears.
The chanting of the Kuo-toan priestess stops and a large demon bird appears over the water. It appears for only a moment, before vanishing again and reappearing. This time, it is directly behind Grigory.
Seeing the three of their numbers so easily reduced to bloody corpses, the two remaining elderly male kuo-toa flee to the water and cluster with the others in a tight group.
Belkior's light now lights nearly all of the cavern. To the east Syr can see all. The other Crimson Shields cannot penetrate the dense mass of Jass' Cloudkill spell. Syr sees the Aboleth at last. I drags its huge, slimy fish-like body slowly across the floor with flippers and flailing tentacles. Behind the Aboleth hides the Little Girl Spectre, injured and returned to her master. The Kuo-toan Priestess is also now visible - she of the single swollen claw-like hand. There is not something different about her. Her movements are stiff and her skin is discolored. It has the hue of iron. Behind the group of foes is a large stone altar upon which is depicted a giant kuo-toa of jagged and stony mien pounding the earth with its fists.
The two Guardian Hands, the giant mutant and the smaller kuo-toa move with incredible speed to place themselves between Syr and the Priestess.
Priestess cast a spell, and a Spiritual Weapon in the shape of a stone hand appears next to Syr. (Hit AC30 Nat1) The weapon swings, and by a fluke of chance, it misses.
Aboleth casts a spell against Syr too.

(Spellcraft vs DC22 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Limited Wish}.)
The Aboleth's spell strips away many of Syr's magic protections. Included in those protections is Syr's power of flight and his large size. The Hand of Domi shrinks back down and drifts gently to the shore below.

"Hmmm, dash it all. It is more important to slow those casters down," he mumbles to himself. "This may be the last thing I ever do, but we need to slow those casters," the Halfling mage announces through Message, "You know the saying, if you throw enough mud it will eventually stick. I'm going to drop some mud on the other side of the water there. But just a little bit this time. Then I, or someone, can hit it with a Dispel to harden it back to rock. They'll be like sitting ducks, stuck in rock." "Spell Resistance that!" he calls once the spell is cast and effected.
Actions Cast Transmute Rock to Mud as a smaller rectangle from EO22, EW22, down to EW33, EO33: 40' across, 55' down, 5' deep into the rock. This is only 11 x 10' cubes. If transmute rock to mud is cast upon the ceiling of a cavern or tunnel, the mud falls to the floor and spreads out in a pool at a depth of 5 feet. The falling mud and the ensuing cave-in deal 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage to anyone caught directly beneath the area, or half damage to those who succeed on Reflex saves. (Spell DC 22?)

"Captain, my thoughts (more or less) is that they haven't worked out what they are more afraid of. When they do, the fear will take them, like the others.

The Cloudkill moves 10 more feet.
Jass sighs a dead sigh of relief as Brahmah moves forward. The incorporal sorcerer Air Walks further out ahead and, as he passes the minotaur, pumps his fist up and down in the air while speaking; Read Lips DC15 Highlight to display spoiler: {Faster, you fool!} And the sorcerer races ahead.
He flies out to the south side of his Cloudkill and as far as his body tether will let him. Watching the mud fall from the cieling, Jass knows that the mud is permanent and a dispel magic won't do anything to return the mud to its former state.
A dispel will take care of the fiendish bird, and Jass attempts to deal with it himself with a Greater Dispel Magic, but the spell can't effect the material Wold.

OOC at Jass The mud remains until a successful dispel magic or transmute mud to rock spell restores its substance--but not necessarily its form. Doesn't this mean that a dispel will return the mud to rock, but it will retain it's current shape. I picture this spell as messing with the molecular shape or the crystaline bonds so that the rock becomes slightly fluid-like. The Dispel allows it to return to it's rock-like bond.
SteveK: didn't read the description, just the stats that said the spell was Permenant Duration. I recant my statement. Since it states that a Dispel will return it to rock, I see that it will... Not that Jass' spell would have effected the material Wold this round anyway. :-)
Robert: hey, slow down, Steve. This is meant to be a fun game, let's not go about Recanting! I was just concerned that I had missed something. I'm not at all experienced at playing a spell caster.
SteveK: Recant (v) to withdraw or disavow a statement, opinion, etc., esp. formally. I was doing the withdrawing part, and not the disavowing part. :-) And I guess it wasn't very formal though. - that's the great thing about lots of rules: even the really good rule guys miss something on a regular basis, and I don't count myself as one of the really good rule guys. All good, and your pardon, but I AM having fun! :-)

The halfling cleric moves down next to Mac and casts a spell to aid his companions and hinder the opponents. Once that is complete, he urges the polar bears back towards the summoned demon. They may not be able to engage the Vrock, especially if Grigory is stilll in the way, but they can slow the thing down.

Content to drift down for the moment, Syr sees the kuo-toan speeding toward him and rummages in his backpack for 1 of his enlarge potions. Then he moves away from the creature and makes it come to him. DZ27 (AoO 31 Damage 18+6shock=24 and Stunning fist DC 19 if needed)
Syr is pleased when Mac joins him by the waters edge and watches as his reach strikes out at the opponents in the water. Then the elf hears the now familiar rumble of Grigory's spell casting and mutters to Mac, "It's like a new for the halfling. He always has to play with it."
Hide from Undead on Grigory, Belkior, Braham, Mac, Polo, Corvis, Jass? (2 spells-50 minutes) Protective Ward (granted power) on Grigory +5 on next saving throw. (1 hr) Protection from Fire (60 pts) on Belkior 50 minutes Protection from Ice (60 pts) on Belkior 50 minutes Bless, Message, Status Protection from Evil
Brahmah translates the words of the Kuo-toan Priestess for the rest of the Crimson Shields. Then he moves up next to Mac, leaving Grigory behind with the Vrock and then changes his magical protection. Polo follows along. (Please move Polo as well as Brahmah. Otherwise, I will leave him in his previous position.)
Grigory, just as well, does not appear to notice the Vrock just behind him. He casts a careless spell while within the reach of the demonic bird - and the bird strikes. A deadly claw comes down on Grigory, and the Vrock gives a screech of triumph ... that turns into a screech of rage when it is unable to pass the Protection from Evil spell laid upon Grigory by Belkior. Grigory's spell is cast and a large section of the ceiling turns to wet unstable mud and crashes down on the floor below. Surprisingly, three of the five unarmed kuo-toa who shuffle in the area to the south manage to dodge most of the falling mud. They now all range from moderately to gravely wounded. One Kuo-toan child floats on the mud unconscious. The Aboleth dodges much of the falling mud and appears but scratched. The mud seemed to fall straight through the little spectre girl. The evil kuo-toan priestess dodged most of the mud, taking some minor injury. The huge mutant kuo-toa must have been too greatly intent upon Syr across the water, for the mountain of mud falls directly upon him. He is, however, so fast, that he escapes half of the damage. The smaller unarmed kuo-toa appears completely untouched by the falling mud.
Mac pounds down to the water's edge, surging through Belkior's wall of wind. He swings at the nearest kuo-toan head floating in the water. He is too far away to hit, but the elderly kuo-toan male shies away anyway.
Jass moves out. (I placed you at EA22. Even with Haste you still only have a Move of 60.) He attempts to unsummon the Vrock that threatens Grigory, but this time his magic fails to penetrate to the Material Wold.
Belkior casts a Prayer spell. It lends moral support to Mac and Syr. Three of the swimming Kuo-toa appear even more demoralized by the spell. Belkior's bears head back toward the threatening Vrock. They cannot, as Belkior surmised, though, move past Grigory to engage the demon bird.
Syr steps five feet back and draws a potion. (Do you drink the potion, Syr? There's no mention of drinking it. And what's more, I don't see it in your list of active spells.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The summoned Vrock, rather than attempt to attack Grigory again, lets out a stunning screech. (Grigory and Corvis Fortitude vs DC22 or be Stunned for one round. The Polar Bears pass the Fort check at 29 and 28.) As the shriek rises to its height, a dark cloud of spores explodes from the Vrock's body and envelopes Grigory. The spores begin to burrow under Grigory's skin. (Grigory take 1hp damage.)
Suddenly, from underneath Brahmah, a small hand reaches up out of the ground. (Under DS19 Touch Brahmah AC22, Miss Chance 9 / Fail!) The hand reaches for Brahmah's life force. It passes through armor to drain him dry. But, at the last minute, the hand grabs at empty air - a narrow escape for Brahmah.
The fall of mud and the rush of Mac is the last straw. The cluster of elderly Kuo-toa swimming in the water flee to the south. The round a turn in the rock and disappear.
The Kuo-toan women and children on the opposite shore, fight to escape from Grigory's mud. Two make it to the edge and pull themselves out.
The Aboleth casts a spell, and suddenly he is across the cave to the North. None can see him, as the Cloudkill blocks him from sight. (Spellcraft vs DC19 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Dimension Door}.)
The Kuo-toan Priestess Airwalks up five feet and out of the mud. She redirects the Spiritual Weapon to attack Syr. (Spiritual Weapon Hit Syr AC30 Nat1 Again!!!) Again the Spiritual Weapon in the shape of a giant fist misses Syr. Then the Priestess casts another spell. (Spellcraft vs DC23 to identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {Cloak of Chaos}.)
"I grant you power, Hands of Shooldoomploo," the priestess cries in a language that only Brahmah and Jass understand. She raises her own two hands, the normal one and the large mutated claw. "Go forth to slay the Blasphemers!"
One moment the two unarmed Kuo-toa are stuck in the mud. The huge mutated Kuo-toa and the normal mediums sized kuo-toa. Each makes as though to take a single step ... and then they vanish. And appear across the water, directly in the midst of the Crimson Shields.

The halfling cleric readies his staff and prepares to start healing. He has nothing but healing spells left and the enemy melee types have come to join them. Belkior will have to get to Grigory, somehow, in order to heal the wizard.
To give himself a bit more protection, Belkior moves to put Mac between himself and the weird kuo-toans and casts Sanctuary upon himself.

"P155 0FF!" Grigory tells the Vrock over his shoulder.
"I'll get those two spell-casters too busy to blink," he calmly informs the Crimson Shields, "to give you more freedom to do your own thing." He then weaves between his companions to see his foes across the water.
"Speak to the hand, sister," Grigory bravely challenges the Priestess, "because this Halfling ain't listening." He sticks his head around the corner and salutes the Aboleth with the single-fingered defiance, as he mentally prepares his attack against that... thing.

The Cloudkill continues to move over the water.

But until he can see them, he'll have to try to affect the material world.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spots Jass' comments, "Pansy huh? Well this pansy doesn't want to join you on Gargul's fence." He peers at the broad expanse of the other Hand's back.
Unaware or unconcerned of the spell the priest cast, Syr takes a 5' step closer to the huge creature and tries to attack the creature's exposed back (attack 33,26,36,37,25 Damage 15+3(shock),19,20,17+2(ice), 22+3 fire) Will Saves 25,38,28 if needed? )

Belkior blew the Mind Fog away with his Wind Wall, Syr. --Al
Belkior moves behind the broad back of his fellow Crimson Shield Mac before casting an abjuration spell on himself. The single Celestial Polar bear who is near enough to attack the Vrock, does so. (Claw 12, Claw 13, Bite 10) The Vrock easily dodges the attacks of the white bear.
Brahmah and Polo both step forward and attack. Brahmah hits only once, and misses the vitals of the smaller Kuo-toa. (No crit for 9hp.) Polo hits the larger Kuo-toa three times. (66hp.) The electricity does not seem to phase the Kuo-toa. (AC's for the Hands are now listed below.)
Mac joins the team up on the mutant Kuo-toa. The minotaur lands his first blow, and that is where the problems begin. A rush of chaotic colors rush up Mac's weapon from the Cloak of Chaos that covers the Kuo-toa, striking at Mac's lawful nature. Mac instantly feels Confused. (Rolled Mac's Will Save at 8 Nat1 vs DC28. Confused for 1 round. Confusion roll 27.) The rest of Mac's blows never fall as he begins babbling incoherently.
Grigory thumbs his nose at ... well, everybody, and leaves the Vrock in the dust. The Vrock, for its part, does not even attempt an attack at the halfling that it knows it cannot strike. He begins to cast a spell, but finds that he has chosen an unfortunate spot to stand. He is just within striking distance of the huge mutant Left Hand. The Left Hand slams one end of his quarterstaff down on Grigory's head. (Hit Grigory AC45 (crit threat AC41) Damage 44hp. Grigory's Concentration Check to Hold Spell impossible vs DC54.) The strike is precise and critical, blowing past even the cover provided by both the corner and by Polo's body. The damage is devastating, and it causes Grigory to lose his spell.
Jass recognizes something in the way that these Hands move, but his warning goes unheard. He attempts to help the Crimson Shields, but his spell cannot breech the divide between the dead and the living.
Syr takes a few short steps toward the mutant Left Hand and begins a flurry of blows. The first blow lands, and Syr sees the surge of colors from the Cloak of Chaos climb up his arm to attack his Lawful nature. (DC vs Cloak of Chaos is 28. Confusion effect 10.) He turns to attack the caster of the spell, feeling the urge to swim across the water and wade into the mud. None of his other blows land. (Note: He doesn't actually cross the water because he's already made a 5ft step this round, and so has no more movement left.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Vrock's spores continue to burrow into Grigory. (1 more hp damage.)
The summoned Vrock tears into the nearest Polar Bear. (Claw P1 AC26, AC27, Bite AC19, Talon AC21, AC21; Damage 13+12+7+9+7 = 48hp) The Celestial Polar Bear, already Drained by one of the Spectre Twins, is ripped to within an inch of its life by the Vrock. It stands Disabled, teetering on the brink of consciousness.
From underneath Brahmah, hand of the Spectre twin reaches up for the minotaur ranger again. (Under DT19 Touch Brahmah AC17, Miss Chance 73 / Success. Brahmah take two Negative Levels.) This time, the hand touches Brahmah's ankle. Brahmah feels the force of experience and ability drain away from him.
The Priestess begins walking through the air toward the melee. Her motions are slow and jerky, as though her limbs were iron and loathed to bend. Without being redirected, the Spiritual Weapon returns to its mistress.
The mutant Left Hand is torn from numerous blows. Its misshapen mouth sets in concentration, and suddenly a number of its wounds close and heal.
The smaller Right Hand lays into Polo, deeming him the nearest most dangerous opponent. The first blow is designed to stun. (Hit Polo AC30, AC36, AC36, AC24, AC15; Damage 15+13+12+13 = 53hp, Fortitude vs DC23 or be stunned for 1 round.) The Right Hand hits Polo four times. The first is a Stunning Blow. The magic of the Hand's fists power right through Polo's damage reduction.
The Aboleth whispers to the little girl Spectre Twin. She nods and then disappears underground. Then the aquatic abomination enters the water. Much more agile in its own environment, it skirts the edge of the Cloudkill spell and comes round for a better view of the Crimson Shields.

Corvis will move in on the nearest enemy to attack, he wants to jump in so he can help out his friends now. He keeps his longsword and shortsword out and ready for the battle.
(Didn't notice a map on the latest combat round so not sure of Corvis's latest position, However I know you can't move and attack inless the enemy is in a 5ft step or w such.)

(OOC: Al, a couple questions and I can see why the confusion spell is interpreted that way. However, I ask that you consider another side? a) the caster of the spell is actually the monk Syr is attacking already? i.e. a wand of confusion doesn't force the victim to seek out the maker of the wand who 'cast' the spell it would force the victim to attack the wand wielder responsible for his confusion. In this case, that would be the monk who infected him to begin with. b) Either last round should have been his confused round or this round is. Either way, the other two blows land because the spell forced him to attack (good thing you rolled a 10 :) (Damage 20+17+2).
Sorry, I don't interpret it that way, Syr.
1) It is not possible for the Left Hand to be the Caster. He cannot cast spells.
2) The wand analogy doesn't hold. Although a wand requires someone to Cast a spell Into it, and that person determines the Caster Level and such, the spell is not actually Cast until it is Triggered. It is that person who Triggered the spell that must be defined as the Caster, for the very reason that you stated. In this case, it is the attacker who triggers the spell not the character on whom the spell was cast. Would you rather attack yourself?
My decision stands. --Al

Stunned by that hit to the head from the Huge quarterstaff Grigory almost stumbles back 5'. It is not till Belkior's Healing takes effect that he can make out which way is up, and count only 5 fingers on his hand. He begins the casting of Summon Monster, calling 7 flying magical beasts to appear in the air above him. He directs them to fly at the Priestess and attack her. Being relatively intelligent they fly as high as possible over the Left Hand and swoop down and around the Priestess, surrounding her completely.

Cloudkill moves some more.
Jass can't see the spectre attacking Brahmah, and no one is shouting, so the sorcerer continues with what he can see and hear. In this case, it is the arriving Aboleth, the Priestess, and the big and little Hands. Looking around, he immediately notices the Priestesses condition and what that means. Read Lips DC15 Highlight to display spoiler: { "Hey, she's got Iron Body cast on her. It's gonna be hard as a golem to kill."}
With everyone else preoccupied, Jass gets angry. He notices he gets angry a lot more since he died, and the blackness grows. Read Lips DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { "various words not allowable in this forum. More words of the same venue. Still more unprintable words!!!"}
He targets the Aboleth with a Feeblemind spell, to no effect.

Instant Death / Round 12 - DMAl Wednesday May 19th, 2010 9:11:09 PM
Corvis flies down from the corner. The nearest enemy is the Vrock. Corvis tumbles into a flanking position behind the demon bird and sticks the Sword of Life Stealing into the Demon. (19 damage + 8 Sneak)
(Corvis: The map is in a link below. I don't think that you have Enlarge Person. Can someone confirm that they gave Corvis Enlarge Person?)
Belkior casts Healing Magic, affecting Grigory and Polo.
Brahmah attacks the Right Hand. His blades flash in an incredibly quick blur. Only three times does he hit, none of them critical. Polo hits the Left Hand twice. One blow is critical. The huge mutant Left Hand falls to the ground, his life's blood ebbing away.
Syr shakes off the confusing effects of the Cloak of Chaos and goes back for more. Syr lands a blow against the fallen Left Hand - this time resisting the colors of the Cloak of Chaos. That is all that is necessary to send the unconscious monstrosity to the Land of Gargul.
(Note on the Cloak of Chaos: The confusion effect only lasts one round. That means, at the top of the next round it is gone, and you may act as normal.)
Grigory begins the summoning of his creature again. He imagines hippogriffs. (The hippogriffs will appear at the top of your next round. Please place them anywhere within 60 feet of your current position, Grigory. You will then be able to take a full round of actions for them at that time and have another round of actions for yourself as well. By the way, an alternative to stepping back would be to Cast Defensively. With the Concentration that you have, Grigory, you could not fail even on a Nat1 to make the DC of a 7th Level spell.)
Mac swings on the mutant Left Hand. From the lack of resistance to his blade, it feels as though he's missing. But, in reality, Mac is ensuring that the creature will never rise again.
Jass recognizes the spell that the Priestess has cast upon herself, and tries to warn the others. He tries to diminish the Aboleth, but cannot break into the Material Plane.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Vrock's spores continue to burrow into Grigory. (4 more hp damage.)
The summoned Vrock tears into the nearest Polar Bear. (Claw P1 AC33, Damage 11hp, Claw Corvis AC22, No Damage - Protection from Evil, Bite P2 AC30, Talon AC19, AC29; Damage 6+9+7 = 22hp) It claws at Corvis once, but finds the same impenetrable Protection from Evil that he encountered on Grigory, and it steps five feet toward the second Polar Bear to vent its wrath.
The little boy spectre peeks out of the ground again. It ducks back under ground, and this time the hand reaches up under Polo. (Under DT21 Touch Polo AC14, Miss Chance 38 / Fail.) The hand, however, misses, leaving Polo safe for now.
The Priestess cries out her wrath as the Left Hand falls. In a language that only Brahmah and Jass understand she shouts. "Return to me, you fool. Protect me and I will deal with the invaders." She takes a five foot step back toward the mud and directs her Spiritual weapon to attack Mac. (Hit Mac AC31, Damage 7hp. CL Check 28) This time the spiritual weapon hits. It strikes Mac, but before it can do any damage it encounters Belkior's Spell Resistance. The Spiritual Weapon rebounds and then disappears. The Priestess snarls and begins a different spell. She stabs her large mutated hand at Syr, and the monk feels his body begin to collapse in on itself. (Implosion: Fortitude Save vs DC28 or die instantly.)
The smaller Right Hand withdraws. It tumbles with exceptional speed past Mac and dives out into the water where it floats serenely in protection of its terrible priestess.
Hand of the little girl specter then rises up out of the ground beneath Belkior. (Under ED24 Touch Belkior AC20, Miss Chance 67 / Succeed.) Belkior feels the chill touch of the spectre on his furry cat leg. But there will be no nourishment for the undead here. The deathward is protection against that.
The Aboleth weaves a spell, and the Crimson Shields feel the familiar sensation of the moisture being sucked from the air. (Horrid Wilting: Grigory, Polo, Syr, Mac, Belkior Take 51hp damage. Fortitude Save vs DC28 for half. CL Check vs Mac's SR22 / Fail. Mac takes no damage.)

The halfling cleric easily withstands the magic cast by the aboleth and the touch of the spectre. Fortitude = 45 (natural 20)
Belkior feels that it is time to heal his companions again. But first he runs back to get closer to those needing healing the most before preparing to cast one of his healing spells. But he doesn't cast right away, but waits until one of the spectres rises from the stone to attack one of his companions or himself.

Syr feels his body trying to contract as he is targeted by the most powerful spell that he has ever faced. (Save Natural 20). Once again, he feels the air becoming dry and recognizes the spell that killed Jass (Save 38 for half).
The monk swipes a playful hand through Jass' body as he passes underneath on his way to the aboleth, "Pansy, huh? why don't you go possess that monk or something." (ec18-ed19) As he arrives at water's edge, he takes a well placed kick at the huge creature (attack 38 damage 20+3(shock))
"Mac, think you can ignore the other monk for the moment and go after the priestess? Based on what Jass said about her protections, you and Brahmah have the best chance to hurt her."

"G'ah!" Grigory calls out loud as the Horrid Wilting takes effect. He moves 5' to the North East.
Grigory completes the casting of Summon Monster, calling 7 flying magical beasts to appear in the air in front Mac (ED 22 and forward) . He directs them to fly at the Priestess and attack her. Being relatively intelligent they fly to avoid conflict on the way, and so circle around the Priestess from the north and east, surrounding her almost completely. (OOC avoiding easy AoO from the Right Hand).

Belkior moves to a more central location and awaits the appearance of the Spectre Twins. He withholds his healing magic until one of them appears, intent upon bathing the undead child with positive energy.
Jass lays in wait for one specific child of the Spectre Twins pair. He Readies a Disintegration spell for her appearance. (You need a Touch Attack for this. Jass Touch AC23 / Success.)
Syr takes on the Aboleth. The kick from the Hand of Domi is met with a grunt of pain and surprise.
Brahmah and Polo Move out through the door. (Polo took 51hp last round from the Horrid Wilting. Polo is now at 3hp. If you don't roll for these things, then I will consider them failed. DZ22 would place you in overlapping squares with Mac, so I placed you in DZ21.)
The seven Celestial Hippogriffs appear and fly at the priestess as directed by Grigory. Each of the seven scatter to different directions. Each perform a Wingover maneuver to position themselves for the attack. Like a trained fighter squadron, they come together all at once around the Kuo-toan priestess. None of the claws, however, are able to make a dent in the priestess' armor. (Priestess' AC listed below.)
Grigory readies a dispelling magic and watches the Aboleth. It is, however, unlikely that his effort will succeed.
H1, H2, H3, H4 are at 10ft. H5, H6, H7 are at 0ft (Ground Level) This is the only way they can attack at once. H1 Flying South; Claw AC20 H2 Flying East; Claw AC23 H3 Flying South; Claw AC26 H4 Flying West; Claw AC17 H5 Flying West; Claw AC26 H6 Flying Northeast; Claw AC17 H7 Flying East; Claw AC19
With average maneuverability direction is important. They must continue flying in the direction indicated or perform their single Wingover feat for that round.
(If you summon creatures, please roll attacks and damage. I do not have time to do it for you. Also, please give me positions for summoned creatures along with Altitude if your creatures fly. Be aware of Tactical Aerial Movement. The Hippogriffs, for example, have a Average Maneuverability. That means that they must move at least 50 feet in any one round. They cannot hover. Etc.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Vrock's spores continue to burrow into Grigory. (4 more hp damage.)
The summoned Vrock again tears into the nearest Polar Bear. (Claw P2 AC31, Claw AC31, Bite AC27, Talon AC32, AC25; Damage 17+10+7+6+6 = 46hp) The white bear is torn to shreds. It stands tottering, about to drop.
Then, with Polo now gone, the little boy spectre peeks out of the ground. Belkior casts his spell. The spell breathes life back into the Celestial Polar Bear. The little boy spectre gives an eerie echoing scream as its insubstantial flesh burns under the holy light.
The little girl specter also pokes her head out of the ground. This time there is no sound. The face of the little spectre girl freezes in a mask of surprise, and then her incorporeal substance explodes, scattering as to the four winds.
The Priestess snarls as Syr fails to collapse in on himself and implode. She turns the spell then on the next nearest Crimson Shield. Picking out Mac through the wings of the hippogriffs, the priestess directs the spell at the minotaur. (Mac Implosion: Fortitude Save vs DC28 or die instantly.)
The smaller Right Hand moves in five feet and throws a full attack against one of Grigory's Hippogriffs. (Hit H7 AC34, AC26, AC24, AC417, AC22, AC13; Damage 13+9+15+17+15 = 69hp) Five blows hit the hippogriff and smash the life from it. (H7 is dead.)
"NnnnnOOOOOOblublubbl!" A wail rips from the throat of the Aboleth. "You've slain my children! My beautiful children! You will die for this. You will die in agony. And then I will reanimate your bodies and I will force such atrocities upon you." The Aboleth begins to cast a spell. Grigory is ready and attempts to counter, but his kung fu is too weak. (DC was 28.) The Aboleth's concentration is something to behold. It completes the spell and then reaches out.
(Concentration for Defensive Casting Minimum of 39 vs DC23. Cast Irresistible Dance. No Save. Subject to do anything other than caper and prance in place. -4 penalty to Armor Class and a -10 penalty on Reflex saves. The dancing subject provokes attacks of opportunity each round on its turn.)

The Cloudkill continues to move.
Jass grins triumphantly over his kill, and looks around to see what else he can destroy. He spots Grigory's skin bubbling and moving and tries to get Belkior's attention with a little arm waving. Read Lips DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {"Hey, shorty! If you want to save a life instead of letting one die, get over to the pompous windbag of a wizard!"}
The Vrock looks busy enough with the polar bears, and so the ghostly form turns toward the Aboleth and the Iron Maiden. A Targeted Greater Dispel Magic is cast against the Priestess, but once again, Jass is stymied from his prison of death.

Grigory feels revitalised with Belkior's healing touch. He moves out, and whistles loudly to his Hippogriffs. He waves his arms frantically, and yells at them in Celestial, then points at them to attack the Aboleth instead. "Can't leave them near that monk for too long."
Actions Get the Hippogriffs to change targets. OOC I'm in a real rush as I write this. I've emailed Al some details about sending the Hippogriffs after the Aboleth. It will take two rounds to get there. I think Handle Animal says it takes a Standard Action to get them to move.

Mac enters the water and swims around to a place where he might take a chop at the Kuo-toan Priestess. His axe finds a temporary gap between the beating wings of the speeding hippogriffs and cleaves a great wound in the iron hide of the Priestess of an evil earth god. Then he succumbs, again, temporarily to the Cloak of Chaos.
Polo follows Brahmah's command and pulls back through the door. (Polo wouldn't fit at DR25 so I put him at DR19.) Brahmah walks the few feet to the shoreline where Syr dances under the influence of the Irresistible Dance spell.
Belkior steps next to Grigory and heals his fellow halfling.
Jass attempts to strip the Aboleth of its magic, but the divide between dead and living is, again, too wide for him to breach.
Syr continues to dance. While he's here he's wide open to an attack of opportunity, but he just can't seem to stop. (Syr, you were hit with an Irresistible Dance spell last round. No Save. Subject to do anything other than caper and prance in place. -4 penalty to Armor Class and a -10 penalty on Reflex saves. The dancing subject provokes attacks of opportunity each round on its turn.
You now have 4/5 rounds till it ends.)
Corvis attacks the Vrock, and his blade bites twice. The Vrock, however, appears resistant to the damage, and is not as harmed as much as it should have been. (Corvis, I corrected your Size on the map. Sorry for getting it wrong.)
Grigory redirects the Hippogriffs to the Aboleth.
H1 Flying North H2 Flying North H3 Flying Northeast H4 Flying North H5 Flying Northeast H6 Flying Northwest H7 Dead
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Vrock's spores continue to burrow into Grigory. (4 more hp damage. This is pending a ruling. If it goes in your favor you will get 13hp back due to the presence of the Bless spell.)
The summoned Vrock turn with open beak to Corvis. But, it remembers the Protection from Evil spell, and returns to ripping apart the Celestial Polar Bear instead. (Claw P2 AC24, Claw AC31, Bite AC33 (Crit Threat AC26), Talon AC20, AC17; Damage 16+11+7+6+9+4 = 53hp) This time, the Polar Bear is destroyed and set back to its home plane.
So far, these rash intruders have resisted one of her most powerful spells. The Priestess reacts in shock as Mac shakes off the Implosion spell and comes across the water to actually harm her. There is only one blasphemer left against whom to direct the deadly Implosion spell. The Kuo-toan Priestess points her large clawed hand at Brahmah. (Brahmah Implosion: Fortitude Save vs DC28 or die instantly. CL Check to beat Brahmah's SR31 = 19. Never mind.) Then the Priestess walks through the air to the west and out over the field of Mud. (Even with Haste, you are reduced to a speed of 5ft if you enter the Mud.)
The Right Hand tumbles to Mac and attacks. (Tumble 34 / Hit AC31, Damage 11hp - Stunning Fist Fortitude vs DC23 or be Stunned for 1 Round) The blow hits with stunning force.
With Syr in the grip of the Irresistible Dance, the Aboleth takes an AoO at him. The tentacle hits, and Syr suddenly feels his skin begin to change, turning to slime. Then it casts a different spell and Waves of Exhaustion wash over Syr and Brahmah. (CL to beat Brahmah's SR31 = 34 / Success.)
(Tentacle AoO Hit Syr AC30. With Irresistible Dance Syr's AC is 29. Damage 10hp - Slime DC21 Fortitude save or begin to transform over the next 1d4+1 minutes, the skin gradually becoming a clear, slimy membrane. An afflicted creature must remain moistened with cool, fresh water or take 1d12 points of damage every 10 minutes. The slime reduces the creature's natural armor bonus by 1 (but never to less than 0).
The Crimson Shields feel themselves slowing down. The Haste spell has expired.

Jass AC: unknown HP: DEAD :-) d100=50 ; Saturday May 22nd, 2010 1:02:21 PM
The Cloudkill continues to move.
Every time one of his spells fails to bite, Jass gets a little more frustrated. He wants something dead! Anything!! He turns to the Priestess and tries again to Greater Dispel Magic to no avail.
The dead sorcerer howls in anger.

Mac prepares to take another series of swings at the monk [RH] His first blow strikes well (AC43@37) and the Cloak of Chaos causes him to (72) attack nearest creature - pretty much the plan, he makes no attempt to resist. His second swing connects just well enough (AC37@33) and the Cloak of Chaos causes him to want to (27) do nothing but babble incoherently - not a part of the plan, and he attempts to steel himself against the compulsion (Will Save: 11) but succumbs...
Syr Ac 26/25 HP 182/207 d20+22=32 ; Sunday May 23rd, 2010 7:00:23 PM
At the water's edge, Syr's hands immediately fall down to his sides and remain fixed there. His face shows signs of strain as he struggles against the compulsion. On their own, his legs begin to flail about, kicking up water everywhere. "Oh great, we are fighting the most disgusting creature ever and I'm splashing around in the water doing a RIVERDANCE?" (Fortitude save successful)
e? OOC: I wasn't sure Syr was the target since the DM post didn't specify. Hat's off to you Al, I don't think has been so effectively neutralized before. *grin* Can Syr dance away from the Aboleth in 5' steps or is he held ther
The spell says that you cannot do anything other than "caper and prance in place". "In place", indicates to me that no distance movement is allowed.
For what it's worth, 1) Syr is extremely difficult to neutralize. 2) You guys are doing very well in this encounter. Much better than I expected you would. --Al

OOC: I'm on another friends computer and won't have much time to post. I leave Sunday for Alaska and will be gone for three weeks. Jerry and Cayzle both are aware.
IC: Basically being unable to move and exhausted (being limited to 5ft and half that for exhaustion), Brahmah resigns to the fact he'll likely die. So basically Brahmah will watch Syr stand there and die as he himself is slain. (Yup, fun adventure.) However, he slogs on toward the Aboleth, 5ft this round. (mud reduces it to 5ft and and exhaustion halves it, so a full round is 5ft, total.)

Will caster Greater Dispel to get Syr to stop dancing.

Move to DX20 Cast Heal on Syr, using Divine Reach (takes Syr to full health, removes Exhaustion, and might also deal with the aboleth slime, too)
Jass attempts his magic again, and again he is stymied by the barrier between life and death. He howls, dark and angry. Such torments, even in the name of good - especially in the name of good - are the stuff from which evil is born.
Mac turns his attacks against the Right Hand of Shooldoomploo. The adamantine axe falls, ripping the unarmed kuo-toa from clavicle to hip. The Cloak of Chaos flares, and a madness takes over Mac again. But it is a fortunate madness and the axe falls again. This time the body of the Right Hand, held together by sheer force of will, is cloven in twain. A burble of nonsense streams from Mac's mouth even as he watches the Right Hand slip under the surface, his corpse staining the water red with blood.
Syr fights off the infection of Slim even as he dances for his very life. The waters splash as he kicks up an impressive jig.
Belkior approaches Syr and uses his miraculous ability to heal from afar. The Exhaustion is lifted from Syr, all his wounds are healed, and he dances magnificently.
Brahmah fights the exhaustion. To him it feels like Grigory's cloying mud. (The Mud is across the water in the brown square labeled "Mud". There is no mud where Brahmah is now. Sorry to have lead you to believe that. The notation on the Mud was for anyone who should decide to follow the Priestess.)
Hippogriffs =========== H1 Flying North H2 Flying North H3 Flying Northeast H4 Flying North H5 Flying Northeast H6 Flying Northwest
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Alright, I've ruled. The existing Bless spell destroyed all of the Vrock spores before they had a chance to take effect. Grigory get 13hp back due to the presence of the Bless spell.)
The summoned Vrock turns its insatiable bloodlust to the next most likely victim. It spies Polo nearby and leaps to attack. (Corvis, you get a AoO vs the Vrock. Claw Polo AC19.) The Vrock slashes at Polo with a claw, but the huge brown bear dodges back, allowing the claws to bounce off of his hardened skin.
The Priestess screams as Mac downs the Right Hand. Her scream rises into the words of a spell, and when the spell completes, she points her large mutant claw at Mac's axe. (Shatter Maximized: Mac, axe takes 60hp damage. Fortitude Save vs DC21 for half. Large-Sized, Two-Handed, Hafted weapon has 20hp. Adamantine gives the weapon a Hardness of 40. Fail the save, and your axe is destroyed.)
The Aboleth takes a second AoO against Syrdeth as he dances. The tentacle hits, and Syr again feels his skin begin to change, turning to slime. (See below.) The Aboleth cast a spell and reaches out with a tentacle to touch Syr. The tentacle glows with a dark vampiric energy. (Touch Syr AC36, Damage 43hp)
(Tentacle AoO Hit Syr AC31. With Irresistible Dance Syr's AC is 29. Damage 13hp - Slime DC21 Fortitude save or begin to transform over the next 1d4+1 minutes, the skin gradually becoming a clear, slimy membrane. An afflicted creature must remain moistened with cool, fresh water or take 1d12 points of damage every 10 minutes.

Syr sees the aboleth's tentacle coming and tries to deflect it with his hand. His wrist twitches slightly but other than that, there is no other sign that his body is obeying him. (Save nat 20) The elf continues to kick up water with his legs and He mutters to himself, "If only Wynn could see me now.... I may as well enjoy the moment!" With that, he pastes a huge false grin on his face and loses himself in the dance. Unfortunately for the aboleth, he loses his timing as his dance is average at best. (Perform 12)

Mac fears the worst as the Priestess casts her spell, and then... nothing happens. He looks about [Spot: 23] to notice anything, and concludes that the Priestess appears to be less of a threat to the Shields than the Aboleth, and being back nearer his friends is good form. He follows the hippogryphs in, charging at the Aboleth. (Move(Swim) 65' from EK31:EM33 to EI19:EK21, given the 'gryphs have been observed to pack in tight around their target. He tries for one mighty blow - AC27@63 damage)
% in error - Aboleth no longer bestowed with Cloak of Chaos AoOs:(up to 6) d20+18 for 4d6+47 [19+/x3]
Belkior heals Polo before pulling in behind Syr and Brahmah.
Grigory comes out to the doorway and casts dispelling magic that covers his own Rock to Mud spell. It the mud hardens. If the Priestess had been counting on the mud for protection, it is now no longer available. The spell also includes the Priestess herself in its circle. The Priestess blinks and shakes her wet slimy head. But, aside from that, there is no visible affect.
Grigory's flock of Hippogriffs fly in to attack the Aboleth. As they approach it takes a Swat of Opportunity at one of them (Hit AoO #4 AC28; Damage 14hp-DR8 = 7hp. Hippogriff Fort Save vs Slime = 19 vs DC21. Transformation over the next 3min. Inconsequential so nothing more will be said about this.) The tentacle of the Aboleth strikes one of the brave Hippogriffs, crushing a leg and beginning a grotesque transformation in the animal. Its skin begins to soften.
Jass casts a green Disintegration beam at the Aboleth, but his magic remains on the dead side of his world.
Syr fights off the Slime once again, but at the expense of his timing. the dance goes awry. (Syr, Irresistible Dance was cast at the Bottom of Round 13. You were affected Round 14 and Round 15, so 3 more rounds. The spell ends after Round 18. You may act normally at the top of Round 19.)
Using the power of the Pearl of Sirines, Mac charges through the water, landing one single incredible blow upon the Aboleth. Gouts of ichor spout from the water, and the Aboleth wails. But it does not appear nearly as hurt as it could be.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The summoned Vrock is bent on death. It continues its attack on Polo. (Claw Polo A25, AC32, Bite AC22, Talon AC29, AC31; Damage after DR 4+2 = 6hp.) The Vrock meets someone with as tough a hide as it does. The Animal Growth spell saves Polo from being ripped and eviscerated.
The Priestess stares in obvious surprise as Mac's axe is unaffected. She had miscalculated for his increased size. She stares an evil stare at the minotaur and conjures up a spell to strip him of all his magic.

Mac is stripped of many spells. The loss of one in particular causes him to shrink back down to his normal size. Then the Priestess retreats further back over a remaining area of mud.
The Aboleth burbles as the hippogriffs descend upon him. His voice sounds like the wail of a girl as Mac strikes. Still, the huge bloated abomination cannot give up on his revenge. In a quick blink of an eye some of his wounds become filled with a false flesh. He casts a spell, and with a tentacle reaches out to Mac. "Curse you! I curse you to be weak for the rest of your days!" the abomination cries. (Touch Attack AC23; 20% Miss 73/Pass. CL Check vs SR 36 vs DC31. Mac Will Save vs DC23 or be cursed with -6 to STR.)

Syr Ac 29/28 HP 164/207 ED18 Tuesday May 25th, 2010 10:42:41 PM
Syr's mind wanders as his body responds to the Aboleth's spell and gyrates uncontrollably. He wonders to himself, what the next step for the group is, they haven't even seen this gate they were sent here to close. Then the merchant in him examines the priestess and the two bodies of the monks, looking for valuables for the group to sell. It never crosses his mind that they will fail until he sees the scowl of frustration on a translucent Jass as another spell is failed.
Hide from Undead on Grigory, Belkior, Braham, Mac, Polo, Corvis, Jass? (2 spells-50 minutes) Protection from Fire (60 pts) on Belkior 50 minutes Protection from Ice (60 pts) on Belkior 50 minutes Bless, Message, Status Protection from Evil Prayer Irresistable Dance (2 more turns?) Haste
(OOC: Al, I'm not quite sure we are on the same page, Double check me? Round 1 of the dance was negating his 140 pt attack, round two was his riverdance post, round 3 was his ' performance' post and round four is this post. One more dancing post to go, after which would be round 18 correct (5 rds)?. Also, wouldn't the priestess dispel also target harmful effects such as the dance?)
You're right. The spell was actually cast at the bottom of Round 12. That would make the end of the spell the bottom of Round 17. You may act after the post for round 17. One more round after this one. Does that sound right?
As to the Priestess' spell, it was a Targeted Dispel aimed at Mac. Not an Area Dispel. No coverage of Syr. Sorry. --Al

Mac stands stone still, confident the Aboleth couldn't possibly THWAP!!! He winces at the slap (Will Save 23 vs DC23), but otherwise feels... okay. In fact, given what has happened (and not) over the last few rounds, and despite having much magic stripped away, Mac is feeling good... very good... exceptional. Which is probably why, focussed on the Aboleth, he takes a 5'step (to EH18:EI19), leaving himself still partially in the way of H5s flight south as he attacks. (AC31@47, AC20@48 & AC20@49)
Syr's mind wanders. His body dances on, automatically going through the steps.
Belkior casts a Smiting from his Prayer Beads and a column of light smashes down upon the summoned Vrock. The power of the Prayer Bead, though is not enough to overcome the Spell Resistance of the Vrock, and when the light fades, the Vrock is unharmed. (CL rolled 12.)
Mac resists the dreaded curse and moves in for the kill. Twice the adamantine great axe draws its gouts of steaming ichor. The Aboleth is torn apart. As the third blow falls, however, a Moment of Prescience allows the abomination to pull its flesh away, avoiding the last mighty blow of the axe. But the Aboleth is bloodied. It looks over half dead.
Note: My mistake. Brahmah is not Exhausted. The Deathward spell would have prevented the negative energy spell.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The summoned Vrock continues its single-minded attack. (Claw Polo A29, AC34, Bite AC22, Talon AC31, AC17; Damage after DR 6+6 = 12hp.) The Vrock, though it does little damage, does not seem to care. It revels in the act of tearing and rending. That seems to be its entire world.
The Priestess appears pleased when Mac shrinks down to a more manageable size, though it's difficult to tell what pleased might be upon her monstrous features. She casts another spell, and a twenty-foot high barrier of translucent spinning blades springs up to screen her from approach. Then she walks back, putting more mud between herself and the Crimson Shields. (Blade Barrier, Take 15d6 damage if you pass through. Reflex vs DC25 for half. Those with SR, I will roll vs your SR should you decide to brave the Barrier. Note that the barrier is in the midst of the Mud.)
The Aboleth casts on the defensive, verbalizing a spell. (Concentration minimum of 39 is Autosuccess vs DC19.) The pops and water rushes into the vacuum as the Aboleth is no longer there. The huge abominations pops back into existance across the cavern on the far side of the mud where it begins shrieking in the burbling language of the Kuo-toa. Jass and Brahmah understand. "I still have spells! Powerful spells! We can still crush them! We can! But you must heal me! Heal me now you mad frog! HEAL ME!"

Corvis frowns as the Vrook had moved away from him so continues the chase to beat on it more and help Polo out, "Sorry for the lapse there Polo, are you holding up ok?" Corvis will attack if he can but otherwise moves in so he can attack when possible.
(Considering the distance Corvis would have to move and with haste I'm not sure if Corvis would get atleast a single attack or not. Let me know or roll it for me.)

Syr continues to watch his partners in action and yearns to be at the front but his body just won't obey. Somewhere inside him, a bit of doubt grows as apparently the team need less help than he thought. He begins to feel the spell weakening and calls out, "Just a bit more guys and I'll be there to help."

Belkior sees a need behind him and pulls back a little. He directs the healing magic of Alemi to grace Brahmah's bear friend Polo.
Corvis comes in behind the summoned Vrock and attacks. (Hit AC39, Damage 6+14Sneak= 20hp) The Sword of Life Stealing slips into a vital tendon, though the demon bird's nature reduces the damage somewhat.
Corvis: Can you see the map? Did you find the link to the map? Tell me if you cannot find it. You must start moving your character by yourself, and you must begin making your own rolls. Also, Haste has ended.
Grigory casts a Dispel against the Blade Barrier, but he doesn't muster enough power to defeat the magic of the Kuo-toan Priestess. (DC29) The Celestial Hippogriffs wheel in preparation to fly above the Blade Barrier. It's crowded, though. Not all of them get headed in an easterly direction. One has to wingover in order get turned around, and remains skimming just over the water in preparation to rise.
Mac pulls back, swimming back onto land.
Jass again tries a spell, but no portal opens for him between death and life.
Brahmah pays little heed to Mac's words. Instead, he watches as the bear now tears into the Vrock. Seeming that Polo is doing well, is doing as is in his nature to do, Brahmah swims across the water instead, and pulls out his bow.
Polo attacks the Vrock. The bear rips and tears the demonic bird, finally pulling it into a deadly embrace. It shouldn't take long for Corvis and Polo to finish the Vrock off.
Syr finishes the last of is dance. He feels control returning to his limbs. He feels the spell release him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Vrock was summoned for one purpose and one purpose alone. And so, rather than attempt to escape, it continues its attack on Polo. (Claw AC16, AC28, Bite AC12, Talon AC22, AC17, Damage 0hp) Try as it may, the Vrock cannot seem to harm the bear.
The mutant Kuo-toan Priestess says nothing to the Aboleth's demands. Instead, she begins another spell. A Wall of Stone appears behind the Blade Barrier. It is ten feet high and two inches thick.
(Blade Barrier, Take 15d6 damage if you pass through. Reflex vs DC25 for half. Those with SR, I will roll vs your SR should you decide to brave the Barrier. Note that the barrier is in the midst of the Mud.)
"You thoughtless spawn of a salamander! I said HEAL ME!" The Aboleth's cries are more shrill and demanding, strident and full of panic, even in the Kuo-toan language. The Aboleth does not cast a spell. Rather, he opens his mouth in a scream, and suddenly the earth around both he and the Priestess rises up like the folds of a blanket. The earth roars and thunders as it forms around them. It envelopes them, hardening and solidifying until it becomes a small mountain thirty feet high in places. (Will save vs DC17 to disbelieve the Persistent Image. If you do not make the saves, you cannot see either the Aboleth or the Priestess.)

The halfling cleric sees the small mountain that has formed on the other side of the new stone wall and immediately identifies it as an illusion. Will = 27
"It's an illusion! Not real! They're trying to hide now!", Belkior calls to his companions.
The Paragon then activates his armor and flies up and over the water, trying to gain enough height to see over the new stone wall that has just appeared.

Relieved to finally stop auditioning for ABDC, Syr assesses the area. Seeing the obstacles that the priest is placing in their path, he activates his boots of flying for the 2nd time today and zips forward across the water.
He coughs loudly at the illusion of the wall, (Will save 27) and tells Brahmah, "Nice job, let's synch our final assualt. I don't want to be dancing by myself this time stuck in there with those two."

Grigory informs the others by Message, "It's an illusion, that mountain of mud. It's called Persistant Image. You can walk through it. Convincing the Hippogriffs of that will be difficult."
Grigory casts Fireball at the Aboleth and Priestess. EW EX/28 29 Damage 37, Reflex DC 22 for half.
The hippogriffs are confused by the Persistant Image, and fly mostly south as they circle back around towards Grigory, ending there turn flying north above the water near the bottom of the map. They have all reached an altitude of 30'. OOC I don't want to roll the 6 Will saves, and then have only one or two who can see through the illusion. Also, I don't think that they should need a Wingover, they can simply turn the space available and head back towards Grigory..

Jass is pulled along by Brahmah's move (must be within 60' of corpse), and easily sees through the Illusionary mountain since it doesn't extend to the incorporal world (30%, NO). He must get closer, he must slay something, to give hurt like he has been hurt. Airwalking closer, Jass uses another attempt to Disintegrate the Aboleth by shooting over the walls, but his frustration and anger continue. (69%, NO)

Brahmah nods at Syr; the Captain's True Seeing allowing him to know the mountain is an illusion. "Coordinate and attack together, but we must be fast or they will get away!" The minotaur pulls out a Potion of Jump from his HHH and downs it. "Let's take this wall!" He moves just a step closer.
Polo, if there is any life still left in the Vrock, crushes it in an unbreakable grip! (Grapple 43, Dam 19; Grapple 43 Dam 25) If Mac has already dealt with the enemy, Polo roars in triumph, and, the body disolving back to wherever summonings go, the bear moves aside for Corvis, grunting and calling for Brahmah. "RRrrunk? Rrrruhrrr?"

Belkior sees the illusion for what it is and calls out a warning. He activates the power of flight inherent in his fantastic celestial armor and rises up into the air.
Syr also calls on the power of flight and wings his way across the water to join Brahmah.
Grigory provides a bit more information on the nature of the illusion, then he sends a fireball across the water. Those who've recognized the illusion see the hemisphere of red bloom within the small translucent mountain. Those who have not, see fires break out on the rocky slopes, then die away, brush fire on a barren desert mount played in fast motion. The Priestess fails to dodge the conflagration. The larger and clumsier Aboleth, oddly, succeeds. The Iron constitution granted the Priestess by her magic, though, appears to lessen the impact of the fire.
The Hippogriffs all wheel as though in formation, swooping to the south and banking to come around in a northerly direction over the water.
Mac strides back to handle the last of the summoned Vrock. The adamantine axe slams down, splitting the head of the demon bird. It vanishes, unsummoned in death. (Sorry, I haven't been applying the massive damage rules. I may consider it for future encounters, but that would mean applying it against your fellow party members as well. Also, taking into account the Vrock's DR the damage was only 42hp. Regardless, the Vrock dies anyway.)
Jass fires a green disintegration beam at the illusory mountain. To those who fail to pierce the illusion of stone, the beam appears to hit the mountain and disappear.
Brahmah takes out a potion and drinks it. Looks like he's ready to tackle the wall. With the Vrock now dead and gone, Polo moves out of the way for Corvis. The bear's nose sniffs for Brahmah.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Quit your whining you insulting excuse for an amphibian." the Priestess snaps back at the Aboleth in a language that only Jass and Brahmah can understand. "Here. Here is your healing." She casts a spell and both she and the Aboleth receive the healing magic.
(Blade Barrier, Take 15d6 damage if you pass through. Reflex vs DC25 for half. Those with SR, I will roll vs your SR should you decide to brave the Barrier. Note that the barrier is in the midst of the Mud.)
"That's all! That's all!?!?" The Aboleth's voice is full of outrage. "I want more! I'll hold them off, but I want more!" The Aboleth casts a spell and both Syr and Brahmah are cloaked in a Solid Fog. (Syr and Brahmah, your speed is reduced to 5.) Spellcraft vs DC22 to identify the spell as Highlight to display spoiler: {Limited Wish}
(Will save vs DC17 to disbelieve the Persistent Image. If you do not make the saves, you cannot see either the Aboleth or the Priestess.)

Why be able to see what is happening if I can't DO anything about it!?"} Jass is nearly gibbering and continues talking silently to himself, his eyes wild and looking at the Aboleth and Priestess with undisguised loathing.

Brahmah breathes a sigh of relief as Belkior is able to deflect the magical slowing fog. "The Aboleth is severely hurt, attack now!" The minotaur takes a breath, and with a running start, tries to Jump over the Blade Barrier and Wall of Stone (Jump check 37 = 8' vertical jump: move straight east to EU,EV 20,21). The large minotaur is easily able to almost clear the stone wall, but is cut up by the Blade Barrier (Reflex: 20; fail)
Landing on the other side, Brahmah pulls an arrow and nocks it. His True Seeing ignores the illusion and the minotaur plugs the Aboleth. (AC 27, Dam 14)
Polo sniffs and watches his companion disappear over the stone wall.

Mac double moves 60' towards Syr (merely in his direction). He would rather run (sort of through the space that Belkior has just vacated) and cover more ground, but I understand that Run(feat) and Swim(movement) don't mix, but I now can't put my fingers on the appropriate reference.
