Spoiler: Jens >>> Collective

"I say we kill the dogs, and subdue the woman for questioning. Careful about what you think over the collective, I shall aim to secure her into the collective to aid in having her survive her subdual."

Communication complete, Jens will then once again test himself against the woman's mental defenses in an attempt to anchor a psychic tether onto her. She was completely unprepared for that and is easily snapped into the fold.

R1T19: FW1 snaps at Brother Jaume, but is deflected by a giant hand.

R1T15: Brother Jaume, you go back to regular size. What square do you inhabit? What do you do?

R1T15: Big Brother Jaume shrinks down to normal size before the muscles under his skin bunch and writhe like maddened snakes and his form grows large again. He moves with almost the same grace as his smaller self but with all the more raw power. His hands flash out at the dog things, doing their deadly work. The first dog thing falls after two blows, and the second gets hit for 17 (but is still up).

Still, Brother Jaume's now larger mouth and sinus cavities draw in a huge breath of pollen or something that has him coughing.

Brother Jaume, roll a Fort save.....

R1T15 (Cont'd): *Hack! Cough! Wheez!* erupts Brother Jaume as he seems to be in respiratory distress!

R1T14: The remaining bizarre canine likewise lets loose with a cloud of something dusty in the air. Dorn coughs some, but is otherwise able to keep from falling prety to whatever effect is in the air.

R1T12: The woman backs up a little, her body covered in strange bracken and thorns and lets loose a gout of fire at the friar, who takes 8 fire.

R1T8: Dorn continues to clear his throat and yells out, "Everyone out of the cloud if you can!" He casts shield of faith on Brother Jaume, who is surrounded by a light field of force similar to a hammer. He deftly moves well into the room past the creature, though he is still in the cloud.

R1T7: Flair, you don't even know what you are looking at (unless you try to figure it out). What do you do?

R1T7: "Don't breathe in the spores!" Flair yells, realizing what was happening a fraction of a second too late. "It will drain your vitality and tire you out! If the spores completely overrun your immune system, you become a fungal beast like they have!" He took a few steps back, gesturing to his teammates to do the same. He did keep himself on guard in case the fungal wolf approached.

"If you surrender peacefully you shall not be harmed, but any harm you cause Will be repaid by you."

He then draws from the woman's lifeforce, redirecting it to heal the friar. He will then retreat ten feet. Brother Jaume receives 6 healing. Jens senses an incredibly power mind that likely was surprised and thrown (and unlucky) when he got her in the collective .... not weak.

R2T21: Given how scarce her remaining options are, Maeni sends positive energy into the collective. It is overkill, as it fully heals the nearly-healed Brother Jaume.

R2T20: Seeing the Fire wielding woman hurl flames at his ally and step out of sight, Jens berates her over the collective.

Spoiler: Jens >>> Collective

Show

"If you surrender peacefully you shall not be harmed, but any harm you cause Will be repaid by you."

He then finds that the witch's mind is incredibly strong (taking only 6), but Brother Jaume is already healed with overkill by Maeni, and nobody else in the group is wounded. He then draws from the woman's lifeforce, redirecting it to heal the friar. He will then retreat ten feet.

R2T15: The rotund friar shrinks before enlarging again. He holds off the poison from continuing for right this minute, but he is still in danger and will need to save again later. Obviously in some distress, BJ hacks, coughs and spins kicks the creature. Twice. He hits it. Twice. For 12 apiece, disabling it.

R2T14: The fungal wolf snaps at Brother Jaume, but doesn't hit. But being a plant, it does not bleed so it is still disabled, but doesn't drop.

R2T12: The woman doesn't respond to Jens and backs away, sending a gout of flame at Dorn (who just ducks out of the way).

R2T8: Dorn ignores the spores and looks at the woman and calls out to his party, "Evil!" Then he stares at the woman and with greater purpose he levels his warhammer at her and repeats with a growl, "Evil." He then steps forward and attacks her with increased conviction, but it is wild and she ducks out of the way.

R2T7: Flair's mind goes on overdrive yet again, and then...

Almost instantaneously, everything in your view shuts out, and the light that your eyes had collected appears as a quickly dimming white dot in the center of what once was your vision ... a white dot surrounded by blackness. The white dot finally disappears. You see nothing.

R2T7: Flair spends a second or two stretching his hands out until he finds the stone wall. He leans against it, desperately trying to blink vision back into his eyes. Right now, he wasn't exactly crucial to the fight, but needless to say, this was very distressing. He briefly considered requesting aid from Jens, but he ultimately decided to hold off on that. Until they had dealt with her, all he could do was distract them right now.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T21: Without any target in sight, and without any wounded, Maeni simply asks, "How long for the spore cloud?"

Flair, still trying to figure out what had gone wrong with his eyes, answers, "About a minute."

Looking at Flair, Maeni asks, trying to figure out what could be happening, "Are you okay?"

Brother Jaume, roll a Fort save vs. poison to keep from being re-affected by the poison since you are still standing in the cloud (then I will update your round as you posted)...

R3T15: Brother Jaume shrinks down to normal size, and tries to control his breathing with the smaller air requirement of his normal size to limit the amount of spores he inhales. It doesn't help, and now Brother Jaume is not just weakened, but impaired.

At this point, not only are you fatigued, but you are also rocking a total -6 penalty to all Fort saves and Constitution checks, and you are poisoned anew.

Brother Jaume wheezes heavily. His vantage point shifted, he sizes up his opponent and delivers an accurate punch for 8, enough to drop the wolf, and delivers a second punch for good measure to make sure the fungal wolf is dead.

R3T12: Brother Jaume sees a bit of flame head towards Dorn before it gets deflected away from him at the last second.

R3T8: Dorn calls out, "Brother Jaume, get out of the cloud!" before charging out of sight.

R3T7: Flair nodded, tilting his head to see that the image seemed to move with him. "I'm getting some sort of vision. I see glowing green words on a pitch black background. It's like I'm in a dark room wearing a pair of goggles with tiny luminous text on them." He then reached out for the text, trying to find some way of interacting with them as he wracks his brain to determine what any of this means.

He burns a use of Daring Exploit, but gets nothing. His True Lore appears to be unavailable at this time.

R3T6: Seeing there is little Jens can do to assist Flair, he will assist Dorn in subduing the woman. Reaching out once more to drain her of vitality. As expected, her powerful mind is able to minimize the damage. He tries moving the woman's vital energy to himself, Brother Jaume, and Dorn (just in case) ... but nobody actually is suffering any "wounds" in the traditional sense.

R4T21: Before taking a deep breath and rushing through the cloud hoping to reach free air at the other side, Maeni shouts out, "Does it means anything, Flair?"

R4T15: Brother Jaume staggers back to the cave mouth, coughing, and is visibly disabled!

R4T12: The woman with fire in the palm of her hand attacks Dorn. Maeni sees that while some unseen force tries to knock aside the flames she still touches Dorn in the side of the neck for 10 fire before she steps back.

R4T8: Dorn calls on Torag for His favor while recovering from his charge and stepping forward. His first strike hits her in the left shoulder for 17, then the upper left arm for 12. Then a short muttered prayer and he touches his neck, healing 6.

R4T7: Flair, your vision .... "turns on." However, there is a host of little bits of overlay information on the various things you see, but that information is almost too small to make sense of. Meanwhile, there are various little hash marks on the bottom and right side of your vision. At the bottom of your field of vision is a single black line, and in the same green lettering you saw before is a message (see Discord). Brother Jaume is standing right near you now, and he looks horrible, even if "unwounded." Jens is near you as well. You don't see Dorn or Maeni or the woman, but you hear fighting in the cavern up ahead. What do you do?

R4T7: "Cody?" Flair states in confusion. He was about to ask about what this all meant until he saw Jaume. He knelt next to him holding his hand out over him as worry crossed his face. He then turned to Jens. "Jens, the spores are attacking his immune system. Focus on that rather than wound mitigation!"

R4T6: Seeing Jaume about ready to die right before him, Jens grimaces and says while concentrating his mental powers, "If you want me to promise to stop using my powers on or near you you will need to promise to stop dying in front of me." Of course, in saying this, that diabolical little creature appears on Jens shoulder again and whispers infernal sweet nothing in his ear.

R5T21: With quick arcane words, a layer of butter appears on the ground all around the creature, and Maeni moves around to take position to intercept. "I'm here!"

With incredible reflexes, the woman easily keeps her footing.

R5T15: Jens power must have helped, for hunched and wheezing, the beleaguered monk successfully marshals his internal resources to repel the fungal invaders. While there is a little more degradation in Brother Jaume's system, the cleric temporarily halts progression of the disease. Several seconds from now will be crucial in determining if his body relapses in giving in to the affliction or permanently fights it off.

R5T12: The woman carefully steps out of the area of grease, even using the momentum to not provoke from Dorn or Maeni as she does so. She then wields the gout of flame like a blade and scores a light on Maeni's lower left leg for 11 fire.

R5T8: Dorn advances on the woman. His warhammer mashes down on her left foot for 13 with a scream of pain from her. On the other hand, the brambles that surround her do a total of 7 mod to Dorn.

R5T7: Flair, the lucky break might have helped, but now that won't be available again for about nearly seconds.

R5T7: Flair looks over Jaume and bites his lip; he's done all he can to help right now and he can only look and (metaphorically) pray.

R5T6: Quickly examining Jaume, Jens mutters to himself while trying to think of ways to aid the friar, "Spores, entered through the respiratory system, obvious symptoms respiratory distress, bloodshot eyes... too quick-acting to be disease. Okay, Jaume, we're going to get you through this. I need you to breath deeply as you can through the nose and then exhale from the mouth."

R6T15: BJ breathes as directed, coughing and wheezing. He gives a silent prayer to Ol’ One Eye for aid. He manages to croak out “Antitoxin....in my sack. He points to where he dropped the sack. And yet, it seems that whether it was his own force of will, the help of the medics, or Ol' One-Eye not wanting to lose a mighty servant, Brother Jaume finally overcomes the last of the poison in his system.

Spoiler: Brother Jaume

All effects of the poison up to this point are still current. So, even though you have max hit points, you are "disabled" as if you had 0. You still are impaired and weakened with the massive hit to Fort saves, and you are fatigued.

R6T12: The woman casts a spell that Maeni realizes is druidic in nature the way she casts it (obscuring mist), and a thick cloud of mist billows out from her, obscuring all sight beyond 5'. She then withdraws such that Dorn cannot attack her. Maeni does get in a swipe, though, cutting her deep along the back of the left knee for 6, but Maeni takes 9 herself from the thorns of the woman. No matter, it was enough to drop her!

R6T8: There are paladins who serve gods whom, between the two of them, are paragons of redemption and mercy for the wicked. Torag is not that god, and ever the good servant, Dorn is not that paladin. He brings his hammer down on her for a killing blow, his smite ending when her life does as well, and he taking no damage from her thorns.

Combat Ends ...

The mist will remain for several annoying minutes.

Flair does his best to shake Maeni off him as he pulls at his bindings. "Maeni, this isn't funny. I'm not into ropes and stuff. Get off me."

She doesn't cut him off mid-sentence, draping something unseen but obviously fabric caressingly along his chest as she straddles him. But once he is done speaking, he feels her pin him down with a thick sheet or something pressed against his mouth. Flair tries to shake her off, and realizes that when he went to sleep, his pacts left leaving him more vulnerable. He tries to thrash about but right now he is pinned.

Round One ...

Brother Jaume and Dorn continue snoozing comfortably in the next room.....

R1T17: Flair, you currently have both arms tied separately to the headboard as noted. Maeni is straddling you and actually has you pinned with the sheet in your mouth. This doesn't stop you from making Flair, but definitely cuts down on anything intelligible as well as cutting down volume. What do you do?

R1T17: Flair does his best to shake Maeni off him as he pulls at his bindings. "Maeni, this isn't funny. I'm not into ropes and stuff. Get off me."

She doesn't try to gag him mid-sentence, letting him speak, but then goes to pin him. Flair tries to kick her off and wriggle free, but he fails. He tries to bang his hands against the wall.

R1T16: Jens, you wake up. Not in alarm, just ease into consciousness, and likely try to continue to fall asleep.

R1T14: Maeni is now pinning Flair, and gets a sheet tied around his mouth (he is now gagged).

R2T17: Flair tries to wriggle out from under Maeni, pulling at his restraints, still making as much as a ruckus as he can. He realizes soon that trying to get out of everything is pointless, so focuses on what matters, getting help. With Maeni so close to him, pinning him, Flair presses his cheek against hers in a side profile, opening his mouth as widely as he can. He uses her own cheekbone as a form of anchor to help him peel back the gag. He then screams out, "Help! She's gonna' kill me! Help! AHHHHHHHH!"

Everybody hears that!

R2T16: Okay, Jens, there is definitely something going on in Flair and Maeni's room. What do you do?

Can't even go one day without some sorta bull-

R2T14: Maeni belches acid at Flair, but he bucks around so that he only takes 2 acid. Unfortunately, throwing her aim off also means that only the wall behind them is mild collateral damage, and not any of the other bindings on Flair.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T26: Brother Jaume, you are prone in bed, and it definitely sounds like something wrong. You have only the dimmest sight to the others in your room .... mainly a lump in bed for Dorn, and what you think is Jens on his feet.

Sounds like Maeni got hungry and wanted a midnight snack.

R3T14: In Flair's room, Maeni - if that even is Maeni, for Flair can see nothing - tries to maintain the pin on Flair's bucking form and miraculously has to get off of him to the side of the bed or risk tumbling to the floor. Flair hears a sultry laughing from next to him.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T26: Brother Jaume rushes out of the room to the next door to see what the commotion is about, but finds that the door is locked.

R4T18: Dorn steps away from Jens back a little bit into the room and picks up his hammer and Brother Jaume's staff.

R4T17: Flair, okay, you are no longer pinned! You are entangled (the can't move from your spot kind) and don't have use of your arms, but she [presumably Maeni] is no longer grappling you. What do you do?

R5T26: Lacking the wherewithal and the means to unlock the door through subtler methods, BJ will resort to brute force and kick open the door. “Stand clear!”

The first kick slams the door for mod 9. The second is poorly balanced and kicks against the door without damage, angering the monk.

So, I ended up fumbling, so it is just his luck. He got "Frustration," and suffers a -4 penalty on all attack rolls for 1 rd.

R5T17: "Sh**! Merda! Schieße!" he swore in Taldane, Infernal and Dwarven, before repeating the word in all the languages he knew. Maeni had gone invisible, so even if he could get himself free and get the lights on, she was poised to strike and he'd never know until it was too late. The important part was getting free, though, so with his one free hand he worked on loosening the knot on the other to liberate himself, and finds success.
