Rellin & Rose Rising [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

Covering his mouth with his hand, Evaro will moves quickly out of the tunnel, but the mold sticks to him and he breathes it in. He breathes raggedly as he takes 3 CON. Torviruv also moved out, but seems to be doing better than Evaro.

Begin Round One...

R1T26: Azel the Vibrant moves forward quickly to try to help Evaro, performing first aid on him.

R1T25: "Yellow mold!" Deadeye says, crossing the hall to the east. "Torviruv, give me your torch. Fire destroys it. Everyone else, stay back."

R1T18: Aubrine, what do you do?

R1T18: Aubrine draws their sword and takes a moment to make sure they are nothing is hiding for them in the shadows. They see nothing, though the strange, sussurant sound like something breathing is louder than it was when you first came into the lower caverns.

R1T17: Evaro, roll a Fort save. What do you do?

R1T17: Gritting his teeth, Evaro coughs, trying to breath normally. He digs around in his bag and pulls out a flask of oil and addresses Huseina, "Any use for this?"

R1T15: Balazar casts mage armor on himself, despite wearing leather armor.

R1T0: Dgia delays ...

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T26: Azel delays ...

R2T25: "Take the flask," Huseina says to Torviruv while taking the torch herself.

R2T22: Torviruv takes the flask of oil and heads to the opening of the eastern passage.

R2T21: Huseina had readied an action and tosses the torch into the passage.

R2T18:"I'm gonna going to send some eyes down that hall. Poke me if something bad happens." Aubrine says to the group, but mainly Evaro and Azel due to proximity. A shadowy copy of Aubrine will appear and start to drift into the hallway.

R2T17: Evaro, what do you do?

Balazar on deck, Torviruv in the hole ...

R2T17: As Evaro continues trying to clear his airways, he addresses Aubrine, "see anything other than that damned mold?"

R2T15: Balazar delays ...

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T22: Aubrine tosses the flask right onto the wall over the flask, and there is a mighty flash and searing sound.

Azel will help with Edaro to fight off the remaining bit of the yellow mold, and Aubrine will be able to tell that the mold burned off.

Initiative Ended ...

Evaro, make three more Fort save rolls ...

Aubrine, your occultation sees a lot of seared and blackened fungus and a lot of carbon soot floating around the air. There is also a body of a dwarf, with seared mold all over it.

As soon as Edaro calls back, but before he's had a chance to move forward, there is a horrific screeching noise echoing from the north!

Begin Round One ...

R1T24: Aubrine moves forward to straddle the dead body, calling out, "Passage to the west. Large chamber has two bogeys well up to the north - hunched, smaller creatures."

They then concentrate, and the shadows around them coalesce into Dark-Aubrine next to them, which then flies north into the darkness.

R1T23: Deadeye takes the torch from Torviruv and then moves into the larger cavern.

R1T18: Evaro, what do you do?

R1T18: Evaro's body seems to shatter like glass before reforming into a number of copies of himself. He advances towards the ghouls, and readies himself to strike should they approach.

R1T14: The one farther back (Red) scrambles around the western edge - giving a good birth to the chimney - to then close on Huseina with an angry screech.

R1T12: Azel the Vibrant moves up just past Torviruv before suddenly vanishing from sight.

R1T10: Green slashes apart the occultation, with that shadow dissipating and reforming around Aubrine. It takes a few guarded steps towards Evaro.

R1T9: Some scrambling sounds behind Evaro, followed by Azel's voice calling out, "I've stopped a...."

R1T7: Balazar astride Padrig rides into the southern part of the cavern.

"... a fell looking..."

R1T5: A taller (size Medium) ghoul appears out of a thin aperture to the west before rushing forth into the heroes' jumble.

"...man from continuing..."

R1T0: Dgia finally moves in to take a protective stance for her master, coughing some from the foul air. She gets into a fighting stance while creating a trident of electricity very quickly. She stabs the man's (Pink's) hand with her trident for 8 electricity.

"I'm fighting a creature that was once a man," she reports, for whatever good that means.

"...into your path."

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T24: Their occultation gone, Aubrine has much concerns much closer to their own body, as they now appear to be partly overcome. "What ... the smell is ... *gack* ... unbelievable! I don't understand ... this is a ghoul, not a ghast, it's cousin. Bite deals paralysis and ghoul fever as claws also paralyze."

They study the target and then attack, pushing Fusion Sword through a defensive arm and into its chest. The man-turned-ghoul turns to black ash even as it seems like there is combustion from within its body before the body falls apart, leaving a scorch mark behind. They then step away, off of the corpse's body

R2T23: "It's the little ones that smell so badly," says Deadeye. "I don't know what they are, but I know what they were ... goblins. You did just kill a former man, though."

She steps down the slight lip to the northeast and shoots at the stinky former-goblin (Red) with her pepperbox, a bullet ripping through its shin for 18, nearly taking its leg off.

R2T20: Torviruv moves up to Red and casts a spell using strange and ancient, guttural noises instead of the more rarified chanting you sometimes hear from modern mages. His hand glowing with radiance he reaches forward to grasp Red's lower arm. The radiance leaves Torviruv's hand and burns into the goblin, the hand and arm blackening first before the internal combustion carries through the rest of the creature and it, too, falls to ashes.

Looking smug, he says, "That's because the humans are ghouls, but the goblins are the more powerful ghasts. Stay away from them if you have a weak stomach like our poor aiuvaran."

R2T18: Evaro, what do you do?

R2T18: Hearing Torviruv's warning, Evaro girds himself well against the smell, dash towards the Ghoul above him, and makes a fast rising slash before a stronger descending slash, both attempts being deflected by surprisingly thick hide.

R2T12: The lone human-ghoul explodes into combustion, with Azel now appearing on the western side of it. Azel is also doing some dance-like moves in a stylized way with her quarterstaff.

R2T10: Only the goblin-ghast survives, attacking Evaro. The bite completely misses, while both claws only catch an image for its troubles.

R2T7: Balazar rides Padrig closer, and begins telling a stirring story of Durvin Ghest the Pathfinder against the ghouls of a place called Nemret-Noktoria.

R2T0: Dgia clomps at her normal speed to Balazar, and then with an incredible second burst of speed is next to Evaro, though she does poorly against the stench. As a result she stabs the wall with her trident of electricity against the wall. The interaction sparks with minerals to blind Dgia.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T24: Aubrine moves in and reforms the occultation north of the ghast.

R3T23: Deadeye changes tacks and heads around from the west, shooting off her pepperbox at the ghast. It hits the ghast in the right lower abdomen for 8.

R3T20: Torviruv, just leading Deadeye, holds the torch in his buckler hand and casts a spell. A bright flash of light lances across the wide pit to obliterate the ghast!

Combat Ends!
