Strange Aeons: Lovecraftian Affair [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R3T25: Brother Jaume looks around and spying the door to the Southwest, he moves to it and attempts to open it. He has to really push, as something heavy-ish is on the other side. Once he opens the door, he notices that one of the dead mastiffs in the courtyard was making him have to work harder to open the door.

R3T23: Ms. Wrentz carefully comes from her previous spot, uses Vilma's bulk and movement as a distraction, and then shoots past her at the mercenary. The attempt was good, but the bolt still bounces off the foe's armor.

R3T17: Winter, what do you do?

R3T17: Winter looks around behind her. "Why won't you die, you horror!" she exclaims and glances at the others to make sure no-one is bleeding too heavily. Stepping back towards the undead she tries to drive her dagger towards its skull to disrupt the necromantic energy powering it, but instead catches it in the thick of the neck for 5 mod, as it seems resistant to the thrust of her dagger.

R3T16: "Good thinking, brother! Lillian, follow us around. The rest of you keep pressure on this side," counsels St. Dorn before heading out into the courtyard.

R3T13: Lillian follows....

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T29-26: Kris flies in from the west with rapier in hand and lowers her flight to normal height to provide flanking for Vilma. The other zombie mercenaries appear at the other end of the hall, looking around, and then shouting and pointing when they see Kris.

R4T25.8: Purple steps into the room and offline from the flank, seemingly focusing on something and getting into a very defensive stance.

R4T25.5: Vilma, what do you do?

R4T17: Winter pauses as everyone else seems to bolt away leaving her and Ms. Wrentz holding the doorway. Taking a gulp she glances at Vilma, who is just the door, "I guess we had best hold the doorway here..." before she bolts into the room, opening herself up for an attack, catching the cleric in the left foot for 11. Winter gets into a corner and lashes out again with her dagger, but its focus on defense protects it.

R4T16: St. Dorn takes up a flanking position with Winter and attacks, but is blocked.

R4T13: Lillian moves in and to the north, keeping a spot open for Brother Jaume to mob purple while Lillian draws a rapier on the move and misses wildly against Yellow.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T29: "I- ... I need healing," says a bloody Kris to Winter. She doesn't move, but does look left and concentrates as a peal of thunder erupts from the western end of the hallway, doing 8 sonic to Pink and 7 sonic to Yellow.

R5T28-26: Pink advances on Lillian, as it and Yellow both change their fighting stances, each with a bow in off-hand and a longsword in their primary. Yellow swings and is easily blocked by Lillian, but Pink's blow comes in to light crit slash Lillian along the abdomen for 19. Lillian screams in pain.

R5T25.8: Purple seems to have completed whatever special defense it was employing. First, it steps out of flank. Then, it seems to do some type of swordwork - both faking out Kris while also doing some type of windup - and then attacks her. Though flat-footed, the merc's sword is still stopped by two layers of magical force protection that Kris has.

R5T25.5: Vilma, what do you do? She hears Ms. Wrentz whisper to her, "Don't move yet."

R5T25: Seeing an adversary in front of him and flanked by an ally, he unleashes a flurry of well placed kicks. The first hits in the merc's upper left arm for 12 mod, as the other two kicks are unable to get past armor and thick hide.

R5T23: While Brother Jaume keeps Purple busy, Ms. Wrentz snipes at Purple from her hiding place behind the armored hulk that is Vilma. The bold flies into Purple's skull, destroying it. As she speed loads her crossbow, she says, "I appreciate the help, Vilma."

R5T17: Winter hears Kris’s cry for aid and reaches out, a pulse of glowing golden energy flowing outwards to heal all of allies hurt by these vile creatures for up to 7.

R5T16: St. Dorn casts a spell on himself before stepping forward to engage the remaining mercs and perhaps to protect Lillian.

R5T13: Lillian snarls, and calling on the Goddess of Vengeance, lets loose with a similar golden glow as Winter gave, but this one to harm. Both of the mercenaries seem particularly capable of resisting such an attack, and only take 6 PE each. She then steps back a few feet.

End Round 5, Begin Round 6 ...

R6T29: "That helps a lot, and helps everyone, but I could really use a bit more focus," says Kris to Winter. She looks west and concentrates, with another peal of thunder ripping into both mercs for 8 sonic. She nods, approvingly, but says, "That's all of that I can do."

R6T28-26: Bows are dropped and two hands on longswords now. Both mercs do the same exact type of attack to Dorn, but he manages to deflect both.

R6T25.5: Vilma, Cesadia is no longer using you as a sniper's block. What do you do?

R6T17: Listening to Kris Winter nods and again channels a pulse of energy, this time praying to her goddess for a more effective pulse of healing power, giving everyone who needs it up to 11 healing.

R6T16: St. Dorn takes out his silver dagger and with a brutal slash that cuts through several of Yellow's straps in his studded leather, cuts deep into the chest cavity, destroying the undead. He holds his position as he understands the need for teamwork with Ms. Wrentz.

R6T13: Lillian drops her rapier and takes out a small tube of some type of stinky paste that she applies to the very light remnant of a wound. It must sting, because whether she shouts orcish obscenities, a war cry, or both, she now seems like a woman possessed.

End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

R7T29: Kris flies out the door to the south, across the courtyard and past Brother Jaume, and back into the fort. Casting is heard to the west, and a beam of heat slices into Pink's right shoulder, but does it no harm.

R7T26: The last undead mercenary steps to the south and tries to do some fakeout swordwork against Kris. While not really confusing, it follows up with a brilliant blade-side smack right in the center of where Kris's eyes and nose would meet in the lower center of the forehead for blinded, while fighting with more defense in mind.

R1T10: Winter looks up in surprise as the creature leaps out at them. ”A monster, it’s vile,” she answers. She swears loudly before stepping in with her knife to jab the disgusting creature's right forearm. It was not an easy strike, as she barely punched through two layers of magical protection and its scales to deal 11. Meanwhile, a third defense protects the monster as an arc of energy strikes Winter for 6 electricity.

R1T9: The bogey just barely manages to get a spell off. Suddenly, the stairs under Winter (and where she stood a minute ago), as well as the walls and bannisters around that area, are covered in some type of oily sheen. Winter brilliantly keeps from losing her footing, but she'll have to be careful.

R2T24: As the passage opened, Vilma rushes up the stairs, hoping to help. She barely manages to keep her footing and looks up just long enough to see that she can't get through and then carefully steps back down again.

R2T19: Brother Jaume turns to face the creature. With a grunt of effort he attacks with a spinning back fist strike meant to stun it. That spinning back fist powers through layers of magical protection, only to be stopped by its scales. It was enough contact, though, that an arc of electricity zaps out to hit Brother Jaume for 6 electricity, but when that happens, something seems diminished in the fish-man's protection. The smell of ozone is strong, but there is no longer a faint limning blue light about the thing. That move is followed up with a straight kick and a crescent kick in a flurry of martial arts moves, but none manage to hit it.

R2T18: Ms. Wrentz, barely catching a glimpse of Vilima's up/down and guessing there is a spot open that Vilma couldn't take advantage of, slowly and carefully moves up the stairs, just past Vilma. She moves quickly at first to pass others while going upwards, and then slows down for stealth and to better manage the oil slick she now finds herself standing in.

R2T10: Winter's electrical burn completely heals. Resolute in her attacks Winter nods to Jaume, a quick muttered ”Press the attack, I will heal your wounds after this.” as she lashes out with the knife once more (her dagger being repelled by magical force), now more than ever convinced that something deeply wrong and evil was happening in this fort.

R2T9: Seeing the human woman's wounds completely close over, the bogey does some type of hissing, and speaks in a burbling language. It concentrates on a spell, and then three arcane bolts lance out to strike Brother Jaume for 13 force.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ....

R3T19: Nodding to Winter, the doughty monk continues to strike and kick at his opponent. With his first attack, the creatures tries to block with its trident. While failing the block, the monk's blasts past one layer of magical protection but not the second. Now getting a feel for the monster's exceptional magic, Brother Jaume is happy he was going with more accurate strikes this time, and successfully kicks it in the left elbow for 12 and does a straight fist to its chest for 8.

R3T18: Ms. Wrentz made noise as she popped up because she slid out a little on the slick stairs. Her failure is paid with a wide miss. She speed loads her crossbow and then carefully heads down.

R4T10: Winter looks at Vilma, ”Some sort of disgusting scales beast armed with magics. It’s powerful and strong. Brother Jaume needs our help.” Looking at all of her allies she announces as she casts a spell, ”The Lady of Graves feels your rage. She welcomes you, and gives you her blessing.”

R4T9: Fishlips succeeds this time on casting a spell, and with an electrified hand tries to touch the cleric, who blocks the monster at the forearm.

R5T10: Infused with a new found aggression and the blessing of her goddess Winter storms back upstairs, but fails to manage the greasy area and falls down the stairs partway, taking 4.

R5T9.5: St. Dorn comes out of delay, with Winter there at his feet. "Nobody doubts your bravery, and I've seen you fight different than before. You've found your stride, and now your knife is fast and keen. But Vilma's heavily armored and lives in war. Let her take the next spot."

He calls up, "Vilma, call down with reports. Brother Jaume, make your way down if possible!"

R5T9: Fishlips says something to Brother Jaume, but neither he nor Vilma understand his debased language. It stabs Brother Jaume in his left thigh for 15 + 18 electricity as the electricity jumps from the trident into Brother Jaume's body. It snaps at the friar, and then a claw misses so wildly to almost give Brother Jaume a chance to trip it, but the thing recovers.

R6T10: Muttering a curse that she certainly did not learn in the temple school Winter drags herself to her feet. Then looking up the stairs begins to intone a long prayer to Pharasma to inspire bravery and fighting spirit in her friends. A snarled "All who live must face her judgment, and yours will be harsh!" she shouts up at the scaled creature (who is currently out of sight).

R6T9.5: St. Dorn goes back into delay ...

R6T9: Almost as if a fencer were to use such a weapon, Fishlips dances with his weapon. As hideous as the creature is, his mastery of the trident is almost mesmerizingly beautiful to Vilma. Not so to Brother Jaume, however, when Fishlips makes a devastating strike to Brother Jaume's head with the tines of its forked weapon, right to the brain, for 21 + 3 INT, dropping the valiant friar.

It spins to thrust the trident at Vilma, more as to maintain combat positioning, and tries to bite her, but her armor holds fast.
