Annals of the Azlanti

[lostsole31]

R12T15: Telly formed a plan in her mind about evading the stinking cloud, but the cloud dissipates! As it does, Telly sees the sinspawn clearly. She concentrates on feeling the fullness of her armor and how to not let it weigh down her casting. She calls upon that morning's preparation while casting a spell, and let's loose with a bolt of lightning shile shouting "TAKE THIS!"

To her credit, the sinspawn quickly moves aside just enough that she would've minimized impact, but then the electricity that hits her rolls around her as if she were a living Faraday device, unaffected by Telly's magic.

R12T8: Rezah, clearly not pleased with a flyer, puts away his shield and scimitar.

End Round 12, Begin Round 13 ...

R13T25: Fallon begins flying west, getting a little more altitude. She holds up her hand and concentrates, and the whole area around the sinspawn explodes in golden faerie dust, and the sinspawn just manages to keep from getting blinded, but is so covered in glitter that she is very visible.

R13T24: Erima, what do you do?

R13T24: Erima advances steadily west, making sure to stand under the creature so that her reach can reach it.

R13T22: The Scribe enters a stance promoting pure speed and zooms up and around Erima while getting out a bola. He throws it, but the sinspawn's armor rebuffs it.

R13T21: The sinspawn proves herself a very adept aerobat as she dives partly and passes Erima while throwing out a full-power guisarme attack. The weapon strikes Erima in the upper chest for 22 mod as the enemy goes speeding by to the north and then east along the arcade. Erima was so gobsmacked by the speed and execution that she never got in an attack of opportunity, but it isn't like the enemy was acrobatically trying to stop them, either.

R13T16: Iluvar, you saw that happen, and you know a (flying) Spring Attack when you see one ... sort of Flyby Attack's bigger brother. And man, even Erima recoiled, meaning that whatever thoughts you might have had about a "wimpy sorcerer" are quickly being laid to bed. What do you do?

R13T16: Iluvar moves next to Erima. "Erima, with your size, I figured out a way to take advantage for better positioning when I am next to you."

Iluvar then gives some quick notes to Erima on how to make use of some tactics, though he does have to (very slightly) adjust where he wanted to be in relation to Erima.

R13T15: Telgarana, what do you do?

R13T15: Telgarana sheathes her blade and draws her bow.

R13T8: Rezah passes by and right next to Telgarana as he takes out a loaded crossbow. "As the Dawnflower is my witness, creature of sin, I shall lay thy wickedness low!"

End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

R14T25: Fallon flies up and to the east, before then juking back west and around a pillar to deny an AOO. She is at the same height (20') and adjacent now to the sinspawn.

R14T24: Erima, you realize that Iluvar's tactical advice really only affects Iluvar and does nothing for you. What do you do? You just catch sight of the sinspawn up in the northern arcade, next to Fallon.

R14T24: Clearly starting to lose patience, with a few words for Iluvar, "Come here with me if you want to live then!"Erima moves closer to the creature, attempting one more slash that misses wildly as Erima's anger unbalances her.

R14T22: The Scribe lets his ranseur clang. He begins moving, taking out his bow. He heads to the upper arcade, purposefully overshooting horizontally before turning around and shoots. His arrow hits the sinspawn in a vulnerable spot for 18.

R14T21: The sinspawn adjusts slightly to put Fallon between herself and Erima. She concentrates on a spell, and her hand glows. She touches Fallon's left knee, but Fallon's fey nature destroys the spell that attempted to wound her mind.

R14T15: Telgarana charges up her bow and fires at the sinspawn, with the first arrow striking her in the privates for 12.

R14T8: Rezah advances and shoots, but the bolt is deflected by magical force shield.

End Round 14, Begin Round 15 ...

R15T25: Fallon flies acrobatically around and just above the sinspawn to flank her with Erima, but not before the creature bites Fallon in the boobs with that horrific mouth it has for 4 mod. Fallon seems to be affected by this lustspawn just as she was in the other room, and Iluvar senses the fey's beautiful emerald green eyes upon him once again. But not before, of course, Fallon - whose mind is still mostly her own - tries and fails to flank-sneak the creature.

R15T24: Erima, at some cost to herself, and without getting her own strike in, by creating vertical separation Fallon managed to set you up for flanking. What do you do?

R15T24: Now flanking the creature, Erima axes around, attempting to hack the lustspawn down. The enemy understands its predicament, spinning her guisarme to have Erima's first strike glance off of her force armor, and then just adjusts to Erima's size so that the second hit is sent off course by a deflection field.

"Enough of this. Just die!" Erima screams in frustration.

R15T22: The Scribe holds his position, but adjusts his stance to be less about speed and more about defense. Both arrows miss, though one of them pounded hard against the force shield.

R15T21: "I am Chanukrah, queen of lustspawn, and I will not be so simply taken by the fumbling likes of you!" the sinspawn says in a hissing, garbling accent with her tentacled mouth. She brilliant dodges away from her aggressors. She then casts a spell, shooting black energy at The Scribe. The beams looks like it is going to easily hit The Scribe, but he counters with a slight maneuver out of the way, using her own speech to give him insight to her mood, and therefore her likely aim.

R15T16: Iluvar, so much going on with you right now: crane style, divine favor, sandals of the lightest step, and Blades Above & Below TW feat. What do you do?

R15T16: Iluvar starts walking straight up knowing queen has a reach weapon will trust his defense to repel the attack. His trust in his defenses holds; what fails him is his estimation of how good a combatant his enemy is when she still slashes his left lower leg for 17. But what Iluvar really misjudged, though, was working against gravity to ascend the 20' in the air to reach her. By the time he grunts past the pain of the strike and closes on her, he doesn't have time to strike her as well. He then falls as he has not reached a surface to land upon, and she manages to strike him again as he goes by, slicing his neck for 15. Iluvar maneuvers acrobatically, but he still takes 1 + prone.

R15T15: Calling out, Telgarana aims for a wild strike, invoking her magic to strike true. The first shot does that, even shooting against a difficult opponent with cover, as the arrow strikes her in the side of the abdomen for 13.

R15T8: Rezah moves over slightly while reloading and shoots again, but it was a long shot anyway as the bolt bounces off of her force field.

R16T24: As the creature keeps fleeing, Erima repositions along the pillars, striking again with her deep crystal axe to strike Chanukrah in her right shin for 34.

R16T22: The Scribe stops running around and trusts in the great acoustics of the ballroom. Now that he has a name (Chanukrah), he waves a tail of lust undone by its own foolishness, putting her name into the quick story he begins ... giving everyone a little bit of bloodlust.

R16T21: Chanukrah focuses her anger on Erima and attacks with all the power she can muster. She bites Erima for 4 mod, then drifts back a little and strikes Erima with her guisarme for 19 mod and 23 mod.

R16T15: Concentrating on getting her single shots right, Telgarana looses another arrow on the sinspawn. Given that Telgarana is not really a skilled skirmish archer what with the flailing weapons of Erima and Chanukrah, her arcane assist does the job of getting the arrow to land right into the sinspawn's chest for 14. Chanukrah falls to the ground. Erima slammed her axe against the force field but not enough to cut through, and Chanukrah hits the ground hard for 8, not moving.

R16T8: Rezah moves up next to Chanukrah while drawing his scimitar and dropping his crossbow. He smites the fallen sinspawn, and the faint glow of righteousness surrounding Rezah disappears, the loss of his smite a signal that his enemy is dead.

The area so marked with chalk (against the red djezet walls, that makes the most sense), the western group continues.

Luckily, a "quick search" of the entire ballroom with two groups takes about a little over 22 minutes.

Administration ...

Current health, as determined by the Scribe, also listed. (If not noted, then they are fully healed.)

Fallon: Shield dropped. Her lustiness diminished after only two minutes from the time she was first infected.
* Current Health: 90%.

Erima: Flour-sack still present, though she does pick up her dorje. Her detect hostile intent is still active, though her offensive prescience and metamorphosis have ended.
* Current Health: 50%. Critical healing needed.

Iluvar: Sandals of lightest step use expended. Divine favor ended. No longer in Crane Style.
* Current Health: 60%. Serious healing needed.

Telgarana: Ablative barrier still running (for many more hours yet). Recovered no arrows.

Rezah: Divine bond and protection from evil ended (as did smite). Recovered 1 bolt.

The Scribe: Recovered bola and all three arrows.

With the group gathered before moving to what Iluvar found, Rezah will let loose a burst of healing for the group that fully heals Fallon. Two more bursts and Iluvar is fully healed, leaving only Erima wounded (85%). Rezah isn't happy with that, given that if Chanukrah is just a guardian, greater danger might lay further ahead. He releases his stone shape in this otherwise over-worked area to fully heal Erima.

The party moves up to the area that Iluvar marked as being a possible secret door. Fallon instantly senses something off, and asks everyone to back away. She senses something magical that is trap-like at the door. She takes out a very fine set of picks and tools ... and with her diaphonous clothing you aren't sure where she was hiding that. She gets to work, with a 30' standoff, and people behind pillars and not in direct line outwards from the secret door per her instructions.

She only works for about 10 seconds before she calls out. "Okay, I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is I didn't do to well, and I think I 'set off' whatever this is. The good news is, it didn't do anything to me; I'm still standing here; so either it is an invisible danger, or there is something else going on."

The party hears her cast detect magic. Then she calls out again. "Yeah, whoops. Sorry about that. It seems it wasn't a trap, per se, but I sensed that the secret door has an alarm spell on it. So .... my bad."

What does the party do?

Erima's shadow seems to animate, growing in form across the floor to the north of her. Stepping out of what seems to be a rift from that now large shadow is a creature of which few of you have ever seen a similar likeness. It is as if silver snot formed from thousands of sick people, and yet without the discoloration of green and yellow that comes with such illness, to create a gleaming creature made wholly of ectoplasm that now stands next to Erima.

And with that, Fallon opens the door.

Begin Round One ...

R1T34: Having prepared himself with a swaying, dance-like fighting stance beforehand, The Scribe resets himself with a similar, but not quite exacty the same stance, and is through the doorway at unbelievable speed and somewhere to the relative south. There is the sound of someone in heavy armor crashing to the ground, and he uses the tines on his ranseur to savage his grounded enemy for 28.

"FourGrayMaidens! Twoaroundthecornerreadytocharge!" he blurts out from beyond.

R1T29: "Into the fray I go again. Lady, guide my strikes!" Iluvar implores his Goddess.

He then moves quickly to confront the Gray Maiden that he sees to west. He stomps on her left foot's instep for 8, and the pain must've gotten her because her body seizes up and she drops her longsword.

R1T22: Having heard The Scribe's warning, and needing an extra microsecond to process it because it was jammed together, and she moves into that room and up into the air before waving her arms and pixie dust falls on one of the Gray Maiden's chilling to the side. "Got one asleep! to the south. One unengaged around the corner to the north!"

R1T21: A prone, bloody Gray Maiden to the south starts to get to her feet. The Scribe clonks against her armor with his weapon, but she still gets to her feet. She then starts to move east and The Scribe tries to trip her but fails. She gets to her fallen, sleeping sister.

R1T19: Hearing Fallon call positioning, Telgarana moves into the room and immediately north to engage the Gray Maiden waiting there. She sets up her ability to cast spells in armor before she carefully casts a spell. Electricity arcs up and down her blade. Seeing the woman as heavily armored, she decides to let the spell work for her, rather than her muscles, but her probing attack is still rebuffed. It's alright, though, as the intensified shocking touch still limns her blade.

R1T19: Erima enters, ready to strike, and veers to the south to attack the maiden attempting to wake her ally. The crystal axe rends into the woman's side and back for 28 + armor broken. This grievous blow drops the woman.

R1T15: The snot-monster than enters and moves between Iluvar and Telgarana. It swings a glorpy-looking, but large, fist at Telly's opponent, hitting the woman in the back of the right thigh for 14.

R1T15: Rezah moves into the room and casts a spell. A spectral, glowing scimitar appears and attacks the Gray Maiden that seems like it might be the leader. With a brilliant deftness that far exceeds normal swordwork, guided by his will it is more dangerous as the spiritual weapon smashes the leader in the helm 10 force.

R1T6: The leader is stunned ....

R1T5: Blue steps away from the wall and then, even though you don't have facial expressions on Gray Maiden helms, you an sense her glaring at the snot monster. She shoulder checks the creature to try and knock it into Iluvar, but the creature is unmoved.

R2T34: The Scribe zooms clockwise around the massive stairs to the north, looking at the battle from that direction. The Scribe then begins a stirring oration of those souls of Korvosa who heroically pushed back against Queen Ileosta's Gray Maidens.

"I serve the wielder! Honor and courage!"

As Telly allows both fire and ice to trail along the blade, she feels the solidity of her blade intensify for truly deadly strokes. Smiling at the readiness of her friend to give her aid, she lays into her opponent with her charged blade. The detractors of her blade usually mention its cutting power against steel, but when electricity acts like a homing beacon it is hard to go wrong as her first stroke hits the Gray Maiden in the center of the chest for 12 + 28 electricity + 1 fire + 2 cold. With the other two cuts given against a woman already in mid-fall, she is dead before she ever hits the ground.

The Scribe hits the next one to come through for 11 as Fallon then gets the same for 9. One of them by the door just drifts closer and a tendril touches Telgarana in her lower abdomen, opening up a bleeding wound from which blood is siphoned forth for 1 CON (+1d6 bleed), which in turn causes her to take 7 damage from the blood loss (her ablative barrier does nothing against this). Another comes in that Scribe stabs for 13, and Fallon hits for 15. A fifth enters that the Scribe hits for 12 and Fallon pokes for 10. A sixth and last one comes through, and the Scribe was too occupied with the others, but Fallon - made of unbelievable speed -still gets off a sixth AOO that strikes for 14.

R1T28: "Not undead, these are aberrations, related to air and water elementals. They drain blood and use it for their vitality", explains Iluvar. Iluvar adroitly moves to the SW to setup battle positioning with Fallon. He then unleashes a literal flurry of blows in the form of three palm strikes and a leaping kick that causes pink to practically explode in a gory mess all over himself, Fallon, and the Scribe.

R1T26: Fallon instantly flits up and over to get a vertical as well as horizontal line on the one threatening Rezah. She stabs, and her rapier only grazes the flying blood vapor for 9.

R1T26-25: Purple reaches forth a tendril to touch Iluvar in the belly for 3 CON (+1d6 bleed)! Red touches a tendril To Telly's chest, but she resists a sucking chest wound to only take 3 CON + 1 + 5 NL. Brown floats to where Pink was, but Iluvar dodges the incoming tendril.

R1T16: The Scribe calls out, "Rezah, burst of healing to stop the bleeding! Everyone else, defensive stance!" and then he begins calling out how previous Pathfinders got out of bloodier situations than this.

R1T14: Blue moves away from the peril of a flank to the outskirts of the combat and bumps against Fallon for 2 CON (+1d6 bleed).

R1T11: Telgarana, you just managed to avoid a sucking chest wound from these blood-sucking monstrosities. You take 2 bleed (ablative barrier doesn't stop that). The blood drain hurts, but you aren't doing badly, all things considered. The Scribe's words are putting a fire in your belly for a fight. What do you do?

R2T28: "More incoming! Focus on the Vampire Mists first!" Iluvar calls out. He moves to the south quickly in order to have his back against the wall going in his crane style attack mode. He gives a triple-palm strike to Brown, which is enough to make the vampiric mist explode, splattering blood everywhere (Iluvar, Rezah, The Scribe).

R2T26: Fallon takes 2 bleed while she hovers, maintaining her height advantage. She winds up to poke Blue as hard as she can, and when she strikes it, it splashes blood all over herself and Erima.

R2T26-25: Purple fails to touch Iluvar as Red fails to touch Telly.

R2T21-19: Three Gray Maidens enter in from the southwestern room. Blue charges Rezah with a telling blow to his chest for 12. Green maneuvers out and despite Iluvar's brilliant defense, strikes him in the right knee with her longsword for 11. Brown maneuvers around to threaten Iluvar and Rezah.

R2T16: The Scribe continues to give heart to his allies with tales of great Pathfinders. He takes a brief pause to make arcane gestures with one hand and then make his mouth looks like a soundless scream towards Red vampiric mist. Red vampiric mist takes 6 sonic, and its form shakes and ripples as if disrupted in some way.

Though no longer being cautious, her focus was on her spellcasting. Still, were it not for the Scribe's stories, she likely would not have succeeded where she does, as her katana scores through the mist, which destroys it in a splash and a spray of blood, including spashing Telly pretty well.

R2T9: The vampiric mist (Green) by Erima and Fallon must have really taken notice of the half-orc growing to the size of a carriage, because it doesn't keep on Fallon. Instead, a tendril hits Erima in the head, and sucks out blood for 2 CON (+1d6 bleed) while both girls note that the infusion of blood seems to help it.

R2T8: Rezah swaps his scimitar briefly into his shield hand while he puts a hand on his chest, his face mark glowing, and he gets 10 healing. He then just puts his hand on Erima's thigh to do the same thing, this stopping her bleeding.

R2T3: A fourth gray maiden (Red) comes and faces off against Iluvar.

R2T2: Erima, what do you do?

R2T2: From what seems to be the rearguard now, Erima axes around. Her first swing seems to be repulsed by the flush of blood, but that only provides her with the combat distancing to follow up with a more successful blow that strikes for 33.
