Aegis' Dungeoncrawler In-Character

[TheFallenOne]

The restraining spells slid off Solstafir like rain on freshly oiled plate. The hurt from the frost rimming his armor kept stacking up, but he was still in fighting shape. Breathe in, breathe out. Gather all the power in your diaphragm, feel it come to a boil as its rage demanded unleashing. Taking a wide stance, he drew his head back and spewed forth a column of conflagration running along the edge of the wall, eating through the surface layer of the frozen wall to strike at the figures hidden within before he retreated towards the center of the room.

As the Ice wall inches closer and closer Abigale is extremly happy as she sees her companions take down one wall worth of enemies and sees how their power weakens. If they could take out another wall she was almost certain she could easily keep up with keeping everyone alive with ease. However she could not worry about possibilities when there were those who still needed her care. She looked on as Alistair healed his own wounds and thus called up to the tree."Levi can you come to me so I can heal you? I cannot get up there." she calls out to her ally, waiting for him to teleport to her so she could close his wounds.

Before Abigail acts and speaks, Levi drops (free action) from the tree to adjacent of the priestess though he is floating above her.

"Heal me."

After Abigail heals him, he waits for his allies to melt a wall before he fires a ray at the image which is in range.

On seeing Solstafir create an opening for her, Orchid tries to go through the motions for magic missile as fast as she can given the last spells she was hit with slowing her down.

If Orchid scores a kill along the western wall
Once again hoping to knock out a wall with a lucky shot, Liselle shoots at the eastern wall again.

If Orchid removes 3 images along the western wall
Since charging won't let her attack two targets this round, Liselle resorts to using an Energy Missile against the remaining two images. Somewhat of a waste (since she can't double target one), but if they take out a second wall, it'll be worth it.

Spoiler

Show

I was thinking of also writing up a 'charge' option for if Orchid hit one figure and it didn't die... but going by how the North Wall resolved, I don't think the 'main' image actually has any more HP than the mirror images do...

Anyway, one more Energy Missile, back down to a 3-pointer here. If Liselle's trying to clear out the last two on the western wall instead of 3 on the eastern, ignore the third set of dice (since the power doesn't let me double-target an image).

Solstafir's line of fire melts away the ice, Orchid and Levi taking immediate action (changing to readied actions to avoid the ice reforming) to fire a volley of magical projectiles upon the targets. The Magic Missiles, ignoring the Robed Figures' incorporeal status find their target and clearing the Western Wall.

Liselle turns towards the Eastern Wall firing a barrage of fire missiles. Two pass through their targets and the last vaporizes an image, leaving 4.

[Aegis013]

The ice advances forward another 5ft (the room is now 160x160 ft).

The supernatural cold becomes worse again: (2d6+4)[16] cold damage and (1d6+4)[10] untyped damage.

The two remaining walls raise their arms, firing numerous cold darts again.

Abigale watches as once more the enemies in the two remaining walls fire darts at the group, however the few that do seem to hit their mark have no ill effect upon those they hit due to the many protections upon the group. Now it was just the unnatural cold that was truly bothering them. Something she could do little but mitigate while the others dealt with the enemies as they had been. All she had to do was keep them all standing. Moving up behind Liselle, she tries to hide her body as best she can from the enemies behind her ally as she heals Liselle's wounds. "We got this everyone, just a little bit more. I have faith in you!" she calls out trying to encourage the others onward to victory.

"Need to get moving again." Orchid struggles to saw quickly under the slow spell.

She then has her spare hand fetch her a scroll of haste, which she opens and tries to read off.

Spoiler: OOC

Free: Getting a scroll of haste from her pack. Standard: Activate it(CL 3). Orchid wants to target as many allies as possible while affecting both her and Alistair if possible. If it's not possible to target both, she'll prioritize herself. UMD: (1d20+21)[23] vs DC 23

[whoiam]

"I can't keep firing off these energy missiles, " Liselle warns, fully aware she's almost out of psionic power. "So I'm going to go back to physically smashing the ice now. If those of you without group attacks left want to try firing through my holes, I'd appreciate it!" She's also fully aware of just how many times her attacks have gone straight through a target without making an impact...

"Solstafir, I'm gonna head for that wall, " she indicates the south wall, "You might wanna head for the other." Since he's up in the north-west corner, it shouldn't make any difference to him if he heads south or east, but if he heads east he's less likely to waste time if they luck out and kill the south wall before he's in position for more fire breath.

With that, Liselle picks her target (Southern wall, the center-east image, so she can also target far-east and center when she full attacks in the next round), and charges ahead again.

Nothing fancy, since none of her fancy tricks allow her to bypass that incorporeal miss chance. Just a standard charge.

The team focuses on recovery.

Liselle and Levi get off shots, but they slide through the incorporeal foes.

The remaining Robed Figures raise their hands, the glyphs once more appearing suspended in the ice with the images.

If the priestess is out of juice and informs him of that fact or tells him of the different target she prioritizes, the warlock nods.

Abandoning his initial plan of animating another merrow Solstafir took off at a dead run towards the eastern wall fast as his dwarven legs could carry him. Right now he certainly did not regret his choice of magical footwear and the pang of memory reminding him of another item in his possession painted a wicked smile on his face. It would take a bit more time to set up, but he would make sure his next attack would be a banger.

Run east, aiming for the center.

[dantiesilva]

As the magical glyphs once more cover the floor Abigale is thankful for her earlier protection, helping herself and the others stay safe from the cold, however it was slowly starting to make a tool on all of them. She could see both herself and Orchid both needing her powers, and from the looks of it no doubt one of the others would also need her help shortly. As she plotted out how she was going to take care of each of them she watched as Levi dropped from his tree once more, seeming no worse for ware considering everything going on. However before she could ask why he had left the safety of his cover in the tree as the "Crystal specters" ,as she was calling them herself for ease of reference, were about to launch their targeted attack he told her to heal him.

"Levi you barely look any worse then normal. The cold is rough, however my old bones can barely take much more of this, and Orchid is in just barely better shape then me. Go back toy our tree, and hide so they cannot target you. It should keep you safe until I am able to take care of your wounds as well." she says to him, as she uses one of her weaker spells to heal herself, hoping to save her more powerful one for Orchid and the others.

Spoiler: OOC + Healing

Show

I am going off of the numbers in the OOC, Orchid is the lowest behind Abigale only, and has lost about half her health where Levi has barely lost any. So from a pure (she doesn't know numbers standpoint) Orchid would have frost on her scales and look decently roughed up while Levi is kinda the guy with a frozen beard at the moment saying hes cold). She didn't cast status on anyone so HP totals don't go into her accounting, just how badly hurt they look in comparison, and can they survive another hit.

Liselle smashes through the ice attacking three of the Figures. Her chain manages to obliterate one. (1d5)[4]

As the ice would reform between turns, Orchid seizes this opportunity to fire her Magic Missiles at the two exposed targets. (1d4)[2] (1d3)[2]

Levi blasts through the ice at another (1d2)[2]

Alistair launches an arrow through the ice, but it doesn't quite find its incorporeal foe, lodging into the ice partially into the spectral target.

Levi's Blast seems to strike true, vaporizing the remaining foes on the Eastern Wall.

Solstafir scurries across the ice, aiming to get closer to the remaining enemies along the Southern Wall.

[Aegis013]

The ice again advances forward (the room is now 140x140ft).

The supernatural cold continues to worsen (2d6+6)[11] cold damage and (1d6+6)[8] untyped.

The Robed Figures fire their darts again, though they seem less potent and even less accurate than the last volley.

With only one wall remaining Solstafir prepared his next strike, an all too eager smile on his face. He produced a small wooden barrel from his bag of holding, one of the cask bombs he had held onto ever since his first foray into the Dungeon. He should have thought of it sooner; be it stone or ice, nobody could claim more expertise in tunneling than dwarvenfolk. The old miner's song his great-grandfather had sung at his crib came to his mind, one of the original firebloods who ascended out of the Dungeon. As he placed the explosive in preparation for his attack he began to hum, soon bursting into full-on song.

"Born underground
Suckled from a teat aglow
Raised in the dark
The safety of our Dungeon home

Skin made of iron
Fire in our blood
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on, brothers, sing with me!

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole"

Place explosive so it is frozen over on their turn, then move to the side so I can again run my breath weapon along the wall next turn. Will probably hit three of them with my breath weapon, and two of the same once again with the cask bomb.
