Strange Aeons: Lovecraftian Affair [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R8T25 (Cont'd): Brother Jaume will grasp his holy symbol and loudly pray to Erastil for aid. As he does so, a burst of golden radiance surrounds him and those around him in holy light that is enough to give Brother Jaume a boost and heal everyone else off.

R8T18: A little barely-lit cloud (or at least, what you see of it) gets closer to shore, but farther away.

R8T17: Jens, what do you do?

R8T17: Jens lowers his guard slightly, but stays vigilant for their foe to reappear.

R8T14: From an unseen area underneath the pier, there is a howling and gibbering. There is a strange quality to it, though, as if the gibbering is a carrier wave with something more strident brought through on vocal waves, something only Flair can hear, sense, and understand.

R1T21: Being called out as a murderer on the street is one thing, but being called out by the one you supposedly murdered is even more daunting. Seeing the deathly pallor and grievous headwound, Jens says aloud, "Jaume... I don't think it's joking about being dead..."

Jens then reaches out to forcefully join this Klyn Murik to the collective, but Klyn Murik is not enjoined.

R1T20: Pulling out her morningstar, Vilma utters in her raspy voice. "Yet you are here, not trying to get at their employer, who is a far bigger culprit. If it is vengeance that animates you, know what caused your fall."

R1T18: Flair, as you look at the man, you have a flash of yourself beating this man - when he was alive - with your fists, mercilessly, all the while laughing. While you do what you can to make good decisions since you have been blessedly been amnesiac, yet this man serves as a reminder that there is a stain on your soul, and that there may yet be a price to be paid for the life you led, regardless of the choices you've made since your "re-awakening." What do you do?

R1T18: "You are wasting your time; nothing but my and Jens' deaths will satisfy it.

"It's also got a fear-inducing scream," Flair called to the party as he drew his crossbow. "Though for what it's worth, I am incredibly sorry for what my former self did." he said as he loosed a bolt, which smacks hard off of its unnatural hide.

R1T14: As if to drive that point home, Klyn's mouth opens unnaturally wide and lets loose a terrifying screech.

Everybody, roll a Will save against a mind-affecting, fear effect. You can roll in Discord, just be sure to clearly annotate the roll.

[lostsole31]

R1T14: It is a terrifying screech, and Brother Jaume and Vilma nearly succumbed to it, were it not for he inspiring steadfastness of St. Dorn the Protector among your number!

R1T9: Dorn casts a spell on himself before zooming in a circuit to the other side of Klyn Murik, his speed obviously enhanced.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T25: Kris flies to a height of 10' while moving quickly forward. She opens her mouth .... not directly at the thing, but well above and to the side of it ... and there is a tremendous thunderclap that does 8 sonic to Klyn.

R2T23: Brother Jaume, you were using total defense. What do you do?

[lostsole31]

R2T23: “Know peace, my son,” intones Brother Jaume, sadly. Gripping the stout oak staff tightly, he advances to the dead man. Swinging, he shouts to Erastil and the staff glows brightly before striking. The leading edge of the hammer-like swing of the quarterstaff is dodged at the upper portion of the body but the staff smacks against Klyn's left foot .... it makes contact, but loses too much steam to penetrate the surprisingly thick hide of the "man's" unnatural resilience.

[lostsole31]

R2T18: Flair readies his crossbow; he didn't have a clear shot, so rather than waste arrows or risk hitting his teammates, he waits for a clear line of fire.

R2T14: Klyn slashes Brother Jaume across the belly for 18 and he goes to close his grasp and Brother Jaume pushes away a little bit, but then another set of claws powerfully hits Brother Jaume in the lower left arm for 16 and holds him fast in a terrifying grip as the dead man then wraps Brother Jaume in a full grip, grappling him.

R2T9: Dorn says, "May Torag send you the judgment you seek upon yourself, for vengeance is not justice." His hammer now glowing, Dorn attempts an onslaught, but completely misses the first time and his hammer bounces off of Klyn's hardened skin the second attack. He ten repositions.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T25: Kris flies a little closer (but still 10' altitude). She casts a spell, and a ray of cold shoots Klyn right in the head, but the ray fizzles as it comes close to the revenant. "Uh, he ignored my magic!" she calls out with a warning. And will somebody please tell me who Ronny and Jerry are?!"

R2T23: Brother Jaume, you are currently being grappled by Klyn Murik. You look deep into his soulless eyes, and the stench of death breathes back at you. You won't be able to attack with hands or quarterstaff (unless you drop the staff), but elbow, knees, and feet are fine. What do you do?

R2T23: Brother Jaume attempts to break the grapple but does not succeed. With his blood dripping onto the street he warns his friends, “Ware the claws!”

R2T21: Explaining to the newbie, Jens will say, ”My full name is Jens Ronnie Turnbull, and I believe Flair’s name before his amnesia was Gerry.”

Jens sends healing Energy through the Collective to Jaume. The monk's natural healing kicks into overdrive as he heals 12.

R3T18: "And that man is dead.", Flair said, his crossbow still aimed forward. "In everything but body."

R3T14: Klyn now squeezes, his claws digging deeper and deeper and bone cracking on the friar for 17.

R3T9: Dorn sidesteps again, back to where he was, and now flanking with Vilma. He lets loose with another onslaught, with one hammer strike bouncing off the undead, and the second completely missing.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T23: The embattled friar’s skin bunches and ripples as if vines moved and swell beneath the surface as Brother Jaume grows large. He strikes out desperately at his foe, calling upon his deity to strengthen his attacks. “Hah!”

Yet each powerful blow only is soaked up by the abomination's super-hardened skin.

Her morningstar slams into Klyn's lower left arm, hoping to cause him to release Brother Jaume. The strike does 8 mod, its unnatural resilience shrugging off some of Vilma's power.

[lostsole31]

R4T18: Flair kept his crossbow trained; hoping that his teammates would be able to take this thing out rather than being forced to rely on his subpar archery skills.

R4T14: If Klyn is worried about the giant he is suddenly grappling or the friar's strange revitalization, he doesn't show it. He continues to squeeze ... claws and unnatural strength digging into Brother Jaume for 21. Just barely enough to push past that fresh vitality, but that vigor also having been more than enough to keep Brother Jaume conscious.

R4T9: Dorn tries another smiting onslaught, with his hammer hitting the undead for 16, then his right upper arm for 14.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T25: Kris thinks about her accursed nature, that what she is .... is an affront to what she is. So, she thinks about that in relation to her connection to storms. Without the caress of rain or wind, there is the sun ... blistering and burning. She concentrates on that concept, gives into that trance, casts a spell, and a scything beam of pure heat launches from her hand to almost strike Klyn. Almost. And yet, as with her cold ray previously, the beam of heat seems to fizzle just as it gets to the undead man. "Something is blocking my magic. It is too powerful for me to overcome," she says ruefully.

R5T23: Brother Jaume, you are back to being in a bad way as Klyn tore through what Jens gave you in short order. You are currently super-sized and grappled. What do you do?

[lostsole31]

R5T23: Returning to normal size, Brother Jaume focuses his will and calls upon his God to help him defeat this foe. “Erastil, Aid me!”

Growing quickly, the faithful friar pummels the undead creature again, trying to breach it’s prodigious armor. With his right fist he hits the monster in the upper left arm for 12 mod, most of his blow going through, though some of it being absorbed.

R5T21: ”I can’t keep this up much longer!” Jens shouts as he again bolsters Jaume’s vitality. Again, Brother Jaume's bodily processes work quickly as psionic energy layers through his cells to fortify him. Little droplets of blood form briefly and rain about Jens before disappearing several seconds later.

R5T20: Seeing how inefficient she is for now, Vilma steps away, drops her morningstar, and takes out a flask and drinks it. A second later, with her veins and muscles bulging, she shouts back, "Hold a little longer!"

R5T18: Flair keeps his aim up. "Jens, if you have to, take my vitality to keep him up!" ..."Because if it gets to me, I'm toast anyway," he finished in his head.

R5T14: Klyn inexplicably relinquishes his advantage by releasing the Firbolg-sized friar. He steps away from the smiting paladin and lets loose with another horrific screech.

R5T9: Dorn is having none of it, being completely unphased by the screech. He goes around the "long way) to the north and hooking west and south again to stand next to Vilma so as to block Klyn's forward progress to his two targets. He concentrates and prays to Torag in prayerspeak, at the end of his invocation of which he touches Vilma ... who is now protected by a glowing aura similar to a hammer.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T25: While trying to figure out what she can do against this monster, Kris casts a spell on herself, and she is briefly outlined by an invisible force more towards her forward area, adding to the other protection that is there.

Everyone, roll a Will save vs. a mind-affecting, fear effect!

R6T23: Shrinking back to normal size, Brother Jaume is now five feet from the undead creature. He grasps his holy symbol of Erastil and prays, 7 healing washing over him and feeling much better than Jens' strange ministrations. He then steps over to Klyn.

R6T21: Jens, you are almost out of mental energy just trying to keep Brother Jaume on his feet. And this Klyn has been hammered down way more than any of your party could possibly handle and he's still coming. And he's coming for you. When his second scream of rage rolls forth, it chills you to the bone as you stand stock-still in fear. You aren't even checked into the battle.

R6T18: Flair cursed at Jens' sudden change of demeanor. They needed every bit of help they could dealing with this thing, and their healing losing their grip could be bad. He shouts a curse at it, the exact words less important that the terrifying invective of it.

R6T14: It wasn't impressive to his teammates, and Flair's comment made no dent on Klyn. In fact, in a burst of speed the battlefield threatens to change for the worst as Klyn shoots past the opening between Vilma and Brother Jaume. The cleric is first to counter with a punch to the revenant's lower right arm for 4 mod. Vilma slams it in the back for 5 mod. But it is Dorn's smite to its spine that is most telling for 15. Klyn still bursts out of the hole, and a crossbow barely skims across his skin from Flair as Kly closes on his two targets, gets around Jen. It is insanely fast, and worst of all, he crits with a roundhouse that slashes through Jen's lower back for 34 ... and continues across and up to Flair's left shoulder for 21 ... and now grabbing Flair!

R6T9: But Dorn had prepared against a fast opponent as he also speeds off impossibly quickly. He jumps over Flair's grabbed body to land next to the revenant. But his strike is rebuffed by tough hide.

End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

R7T25: Kris flies past, and then opens up a little from Klyn. She casts a spell ... and a beam of heat just misses melting off Flair's cheek!

R7T23: “Hold on, Flair! Jens, move!”” shouts Brother Jaume. He moves quickly North and grasps Flair’s shoulder as he prays for aid. Aid comes, but only the smallest amount possible (5). Perhaps Erastil hears his servant .... but passes quiet judgment on a murderer?

R7T21: The thing zipped behind Jens faster than he could react and pain blossoms from Jen's back. Standing there shaking like a leaf Jens whimpers, "It's going to kill me..."

But no, NO. He will not go out like this .... he who feels exultation at the death of those that would kill him. Jens pulls himself together and recovers!

Jens, what do you do?

Vilma on deck, Flair (grappled) in the hole ...

R7T21: Stamping down on his fear by force of will, and channeling it into anger, Jens lets out a shout as he summons nearby earth and stone into a blade to cut at Klyn (which is deflected away by an unseen force) before retreating away.

R7T20: Vilma, what do you do? You are armed just with your shield right now.

Flair (grappled) on deck, Klyn (grappling) in the hole ...

R7T20: Moving back into melee, Vilma drops her shield, draws her heavy flail, and closes while shouting, "Hold on, it's growing weaker!"

She bashes the revenant with the swing ball of the chain to shatter its left arm and then crumple its chest as he releases the hold on Flair.

Klyn gives out a cry of pain. But this time, it is not an inhuman cry, but a cry much more like a man in great pain. Klyn stands for a second in a bent knee pose of pain, looking up, and then falls back onto the ground. The sepulchral color to his skin goes away. He breathes ... breathes ... in laborious beats on the ground, looking up at Flair. Through great pain he says, "Just because ... just because your mind forgets. Your soul is still stained. You can't escape it." His voice becomes more and more distant and thready. "You feel it, don't you? You can't be good just because you say you are. And you can't be good just because you say are now without dealing with what you were. Your killers, through and through. It comes for you."

And with that, he gives a rattle and a sigh, and you can see a breath like a tortured spirit leave his body with that sigh before discroporating.

Combat Ends ...

Everyone, roll a SAN check (Will save vs. mind-affecting) ...
