Strange Aeons: Lovecraftian Affair [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R3T16: Jens readies an Earth Blast and attacks the creature's last known location, but it doesn't sound like he hit a "near" target ... just the sounds of rocks and earth farther in the room impacting on the floor.

R3T14: Haru tries again (third time's a charm?) aiming for where the claw had come from similar to Flair, but there's no evidence he hit anything.

R3T12: Stepping back while ensuring she still has line of sight toward the supposed position of the creature, Maeni tries to channel her mystical power through her flames again, with the heat washing uncomfortably close to Björn and Gaye. There is a popping and sizzling sound from in front of Björn, as if something there was hit.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T24: The skull zips out to bite impotently on Björn's armor, but a little claw just manages to reach up and graze against his left shoulder. Björn doesn't lose his voice this time.

R4T23: Corbin, your crossbow is not loaded. What do you do?

Gaye on deck, Flair in the hole, Zoo and Björn delaying ...

R4T19: Flair was thinking that he was finally getting a handle on the tether. And with no healing needed yet, he figured he might as well continue to try it. He misses.

R4T17: Björn, having been attacked, now becomes more active and he swings his sword towards where the attack last came (missing).

R4T16: In a battle of attrition like this one is shaping up to be, every little effort helps. So Jens focuses and sends another blast of earth and stone at the creature from the darkness, but only the sounds of stone on stone are heard.

R4T12: Staying away, Maeni channels more power into more fire after again burning internal arcane reserves, aiming where she last saw the creature. She doesn't hear the pop and high-pitched squelch of burning bone this time like she did before.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T24: From the spice at an angle to Björn (where Maeni once stood) comes the bite, which connects on Björn's chest for 1 mod, but the big man is not so affected. Seeing where it shifted position Corbin shoots, but it doesn't sound like he hit. Gaye likewise casts her cantrip, but she definitely missed. Björn then gets touched by the claw, but keeps his voice as well.

R5T12: Slowly running out of power, Maeni channels one more spell into raw arcane power and then into fire after stepping aside to try to ensure she can hit the whole entrance with it. It is some real fine fire control targeting, but she is successful as flames tear right past Björn (who feels the heat on his face).

Perhaps surprised by such precise targeting, the attic whisperer did not expect to be hit from so precise an angle and takes all 9 fire and is destroyed!

Oddly, the three people who are surprised (Corbin, Flair, & Maeni), have all dealt with this threat before. Perhaps it is their surprise at finding out that the threat has not been dealt with after all that causes them to hesitate. Otherwise, everyone else - either in hearing the faintest trilling, or just in the merit of paranoid intuition - senses something in the fog beyond.

S19: Something darts through the yellow mist at Dorn and where it goes to bite him it ends up headbutting itself against his chest before its head woozily retracts along its long neck back into the thickness of the mist.

R1T21: BJ will move in to the room and prepare to unleash a powerful strike with his staff. His perfect balance makes it appear as if he is flowing across the ground. He only has to move a few feet into the room before he hazily sees the thing in front of him - seeming a little off-kilter and not snapping at him as he expects. Brother Jaume squares off against the thing and slams his quarterstaff against its back for 11.

R1T13: Part of Flair wanted to drag the former man out with his tether, but seeing as it was the cause of the mists, it wouldn't help. Instead, he spoke his psuedo-Celestial words, an aura of efficiency surrounding him and is allies.

Everyone, within their minds and hearts, senses that they have been given the potential for greater success and glory at the same time as every inch of Flair's skin momentarily shines like a torch just like his clothes.

If the affected creature is benefiting from a morale bonus of any type, it can double that morale bonus on one roll or check, before making the roll. Once an affected creature uses this spell’s effect, the spell is discharged for that subject.
As a reminder, and do not adjust your own rolls, everyone currently has a morale bonus on attack rolls and saves vs. fear from Maeni's bless.

At the same time, also coming from Flair's inspiration, is a sense of focus and deadliness, on par with the bonus from the seance that you had enjoyed from Bjorn Vinter (for those that had experienced that.

Brother Jaume blocks another incoming claw, but then yet another claw slashes across his chest for 4, enough with the pain of his foot for the Erastilian's breathing to become labored.

Meanwhile, everyone who was dazed regains their senses, but are filled with fear (shaken). More of the mist also spills into the kitchen, and only Flair stands outside of the mist.

R3T13: Flair takes a deep breath and focuses on reapplying his defensive aura. He brings his fists up, ready to strike against any foes that comes near.

R3T12: Corbin, you are no longer dazed, but shaken. You have a durable bolt loaded. The mists now surround you, and you only see Maeni and Jens near you. What do you do?

R3T12: Cursing at the lack of visibility, Corbin runs forward, towards the sounds of battle. Taking his crossbow in one hand, he draws his curved knife and dives past Dorn as it snaps at him to swing at the creature, clearly missing.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T22: Nadya tries to concentrate to cast a spell again, but again fails.

R4T21: The stalwart Clonk () focuses his will and battles through the pain of his injuries. The mists swirl around him as he again grows large; quarterstaff making a series of staccato impacts - first on the rock, but the next on the creature. Because they fought it before, the Clonk continues with a supernaturally fast spinning back kick that hits stone.

R4T18: Dorn leans down to put his hand on the fallen monster's throat, and then smashes its head with a coup de grace.

S19: Brother Jaume feels a wave of sleep washing over him, but his fear acts as a stimulant to keep him awake. There in front of him, his a wide-eyed man spewing yellow fog from his mouth. The man turns to Brother Jaume and hits the monk in the stomach with an incredibly hard punch for 6.

S7: Brother Jaume, the oneirogen is right in front of you. This is a surprise round, so you can only make a SA or MA, not a FRA, FAA, 1RA, or both SA/MA as normal. What do you do?

Actually, you didn't "take" 6. I mean, you did, but it doesn't "show" (courtesy of Jens' mental protections on you).

R1T21: Once again, Maeni prays for guidance.

R1T20: Maeni feels a sudden, almost palpable, sense of grace coming from Dorn. Everyone else feels it as he passes them. As he gets to Brother Jaume he sees the oneirogen and tries to get to an opening without drawing an attack, and just barely manages to do so. He tries to slam the oneirogen in the upper arm, but his aim is fouled by the mists.

R1T19: The oneirogen swings twice at Brother Jaume, who dodges the first and blocks the second. It then steps back a few feet, out of sight of Brother Jaume.

R1T14: "Amazing!" calls Nadya. "I wasn't sure if I was seeing things when I saw the voonith before, but it appears I can see through this yellow fog easily!"

She zooms south out of view of the party members who had seen her (Brother Jaume, Flair, Corbin, and Dorn). Then, from somewhere to the south and southwest comes the sound of electricity and boxes and other things being rattled.

Spoiler: Dorn >>> Collective

"An electric storm just started right in front of me! The oneirogen hasn't been hit yet, but everyone else beware of coming to close!"

R1T9: Corbin cautiously heads towards the sounds of combat. He only moves 5' before he sees Dorn, and then he goes into a defensive crouch, looking all around, not just to the west and south.

R1T7: Brother Jaume, the oneirogen had backed away from you, out of view, and Flair and Dorn both went past you. In the yellow fog beyond, you catch glimpses of lightning - not enough to see actual arcs, but sort of like a thunderstorm in the clouds lighting up a cloud bank (and no, it doesn't "light up" anything outside of your field of view). Flair and Dorn are just south of you. What do you do?
