    Elkist Talphrin

    Elkist moves forward with the party, similarly alert and suspicious as she keeps her position at Mirriana's side. Uttering a righteous prayer she growls softly as her features subtly shift to resemble those of a hunting great cat.

    Standing wary she waits for the others to determine the best course of action.

    With Elkist at my side I advance towards the statue cautiously, scanning for anything that might indicate an illusion, magic, or evil presence.

    Its as they expected. Lan skirts the edge of the chamber, spying a glint of gold and stacked chests through the curtains as he advances invisibly and ghostlike into the room. As the others advance in a loose line, forming a V with Mirrian and Elkist leading the way the statue glows a dull red in Elkist and Talsien's detection, the thing a haven for a mssive and corrupt evil sprirt.

    As the party (aside from the invisible halfling) get 60ft from the massive thing it shudders, a scream ripping across the chamber as you all feel a great pressure filling the chamber and a sense of pure evil filling the air, the air thick with its stench for a second before it seems to coalsce around the tri-partite statue of evil tha ripples. Stone turning to mottled dark flesk and the eye on the face glowing a dark green!

    OOC

    Init:
    Mirriana, Lan,
    STATUE OF EVIL
    Elkist, Zarina, Merrick and Tal

    Its 60ft from most of the party, ~20ft from Lan who is at that end of the room

    Landahl Snowstrider, Halfling scout

    Lan growled inwardly, having felt this was going to end in something bad. The thing looked to be no small challenge, so he called upon the full weight of his abilities to add his combat. Given the waves of evil emanating from the statue-made-flesh, Lan elected to forgo any parlay.

    A blast of magical power radiates from Mirriana as an almost perceptible shimmering bubble of glowing power encapsulates the heroes as they form their shield wall advancing towards the beast. On the side of the room Lan races down, moving swiftly and leaping from the shadows, a flurry of magical javelins slamming into the creature that suddenly lets loose a bellow of rage and pain as multiple javelins bite home, although even from this distance Lan can see some innate toughness of the creature blunting the force of the javelins and ablating some of the damage.

    The massive ebon aspect of the Overgod of the Ebon Triad bellows a challenge to the room, a spinning flail spiruitual evil materialising in the air above Lan and spinning towards him as the creature loses itself in a pure fury and leaps forwards pouncing upon the wall of woman advancing towards it, flecks of saliva that hiss and burn the floor pouring form its mouth!

    Zarina

    Zarina had followed the others in, standing on Mirriana's right and a pace behind her as with the Sword of Aquaa clutched in both hands she gazed about the room, a look of both curiousity and horror in her eyes as she steeled herself for the attack they all suspected was inevitable. "Lightning Lord give us strength of arms and iron minds..." she prayed before she jumped slightly as the massive statue/altar breathed dark and evil life into itself and turned to attack them.

    Steeling her fear as it thundered towards them, blades and fangs rending at her friends Elkist and Mirriana she could feel the waves of evil emanating from the thing, as powerful as anything they had felt in the dark caverns under the zigguarat of Kyuss. Steeling herself she allowed the power of magical belt to flow into her infusing her with prenatural speed felt the power of dragons fill her as she grew longs claws and her face shifted into a long fanged maw, rolling forwards she tried to dodge the savage attack she knew would be coming before igniting the blade and slashing repeatedly at the massive creature towering almost three times her height!

    Dispel Magic,” Merrick chants, focusing on the summoned flail.

    Summoning was his business, and seeing rank amateurs attempting wounded his professional pride.

    WHAT???

    The outrage! The insult! To be . . . IGNORED in the creature's assault?!?!?!?

    FIGHT ME, COWARD! he mentally screams. "AARRROOOOO!" Leaping to the other side of the beast, claws flashing streaks of flame.
    Spoiler
    Show

    jump - (1d20+41)[50] tumble - (1d20+26)[46]

    Swift action to activate Burning Blade -- fully expect this thing will have fire immunity or resistance, but the visuals! It's all about the visuals, y'know.

    claw - (1d20+27)[39] damage - (2d6+16)[24] and fire - (1d6+5)[11]
    claw - (1d20+27)[38] damage - (2d6+16)[23] and fire - (1d6+5)[9]
    claw - (1d20+27)[47] damage - (2d6+16)[25] and fire - (1d6+5)[6]
    claw - (1d20+27)[28] damage - (2d6+16)[21] and fire - (1d6+5)[10]

    Penetrates DR/magic. Double damage (not fire) if two or more claws hit.

    EDIT: Forgot to say, leaping to 10' from the beast in a position to flank with either Lan or (if possible) Mir and Elkist.

    Potential crit -- if this thing's vulnerable? I'll put the confirmation roll in OOC.

    EDIT 2: And we won't talk about the fumble. Amusing to get a 20 and a 1 in sequence like that.

    Landahl Snowstrider, Halfling scout

    Lan grunted in pain as a spectral flail with three heads suddenly appeared next to him, savagely striking the halfling with each end. Snarling, he sped across, taking advantage of the creature's preoccupation with Mirriana. That's gonna cost you, you sunnuva ...

    As swift, move 30' (stay w/in 30' of the creature). Full attack (PBS, Rapid Shot, Imp Skirmish)

    Mirriana

    I weather the creature's attacks stoically, a combination of my armour and Elkist's wards turning aside the worst of the damage. Even so I know we're not going to be able to take much more of this. We have to finish it quickly.

    "Tal, tear its arms off!" I exhort, dashing in close to deliver my own strike and braving any more attacks I might have to endure as a result.

    Taliesn

    Mirriana's attack creates just the opening Tal's been looking for! In a fury of spinning claws, he flies up and down the monstrosity's back like a dancing mongoose!
    Spoiler
    Show
    . . . Because maneuvers come with descriptive names, obviously.

    By this point, Tal should be flanking with somebody, if this thing is flankable, but just in case, I haven't added the +2 to to-hit. Please add if applicable.

    Also, at this point, Tal's transmuting weapon property is active, so he penetrates any DR (except, I suppose, epic).

    Move action to jump - (1d20+41)[54] and tumble - (1d20+26)[31]

    Swift action for Dancing Mongoose, giving 2 extra attacks at top BAB:

    claw - (1d20+27)[42] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]
    claw - (1d20+27)[36] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]
    claw - (1d20+27)[43] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]
    claw - (1d20+27)[37] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]
    claw - (1d20+27)[37] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]
    claw - (1d20+27)[40] [roll=damage]2d6+16[roll]

    And again, damage is doubled by rending from Tal's giralon arms bind if two or more claws hit.

    EDIT: and of course I screwed up the damage rolls. Re-done in OOC.

    Zarina and Tal slash with flaming blades and claws at the massive beast and even though they land multiple blows each one seems ablated by some sort of malevolent force, the blades/claws slowing in its flesh and the flames guttering and mostly dying at they contact its grey scaly hide. The beast roars and rears up as Mirriana and Elkist crowd around it joining Tal and Zarina and jostling it sword and shield.s In the far croner Lan leaps over an altar and dives between the curtains pursued by the ghostly flail that seeks to smash him into paste, his mad flight slowing its spinning heads as it chases him, one of his javlins slamming into its master's back as the glowing flails resist Merrick's efforts to undo them. The flails chase Lan and spin more at him.

    Zarina

    Zarina is buffeted by the massive beast as it claws and bites at everyone, a resounding "clang" as its teeth latch onto the shield hovering above her head. Pushing back she spins the Blade of Aqaa feeling the pulse of joy within the blade as the sword feels the rightness of her cause. Slipping to the side she flanks with Tal, blade flashing as she bobs and weaves and cuts at the massive creature.

    Elkist Talphrin

    Elkist stands resolute next to Mirriana, the overgod looming as an affront to her very being. Even as talons and fangs thrash about she sways and ducks back her Lightning Sword flashing out in great arcs as the fiend shows weaknesses in it's defences.

    Mirriana

    Seeing the overgod begin to weave a spell I shout a quick entreaty to Mystara to disperse the spell's energies!

    In fact as I deflect the creature's claw with my shield I decide to put an end to its magical protections.

    "Greater Dispel Magic!"

    Immediate action: Divine Defiance. Turn attempt + sheild of faith = immediate counterspell. I have the spell prepared, so counterspell just works.

    Standard action: Targeted GDM. Dispel check as applicable. CL14+4 Domain bonus.

    (1d20+18)[35]

    Heroes' Feast lasts 12h, so it'll be applied well into evening.

    Manoeuvre not granted for next turn (should have rolled 2 for this turn):
    (1d5)[4]

    Also, why is the OOC closed?

    Odd, RCGothic mentioned it. But it appears out OOC thread has been closed although I’m not sure why
    I’ll message a mod and ask them as it seems strange otherwise

    The spectral flail lashed out again, striking Lan three more times. He winced again, pushing aside the pain as he reversed direction and sped back to launch another salvo of force spears towards the giant beast. I'm not done yet, you piece of crap ...

    Evan as the Ebon aspect lashes and bites and claws at the three woman and metamorphic shifter surrounding it Merrick flies behind Lan, a touch from the insane mage healing the worst of the halfling's wounds. Zarina and Elkist stab and cut at the massive creature their blades leaving long gashes and devastating damage, particulary Elkist who's first blow powered by divine energy slams it it knees. As its bowed Talsien leaps atop its back clawing madly, his claws only slightly slowed by the creatures innate resistance that seems to be blunting many of the attacks and Lan runs across the room, the beast shuddering as a pair of javelins stab deep into its back, strange blackish ichor leaking from it and hissing on the ground

    Even as it summons and protective field of energy Mirriana calls down the power of Mystara, the shield shattering, the flail melting away and the creature crackling with dark power as its magical layers and warrens are drained away by her negating magic.

    In response it howls a great howl, a cloud of black gaseous vapour enguling the three woman and Talsien before it glows red with eldritch energy as its channels the spark of God stuff, its connection to the savgery of Erthynul into its attacks

    With the flail dismissed, Lan prepared to attack, pausing only as the mage ran over and touched his shoulder and heal some of the bruises. He nodded his thanks, still creeped out by the man, then rushed back across to use his momentum to fling another series of force javelins at the beast. Perhaps he would get its attention yet ...

    The fight reaches a savage crescendo as the beast releases a great blast of unholy power. Even as it engulfs the party it savages the heroes with claw and fang leaving Elkist bloodied and wavering, her face pale ashen grey. Even as it lashes out Mirriana strikes but her blade is turned aside with a great sweep of its claws. Tal leaps atop its back tearing and ripping great chunks of its flesh from its back as Lan circles around, a series of magical javelins pinioning its chest . It roars, the sound echoing around the vaulted chamber, ear drums rupturing before it goes to smash down atop the injured Elkist who centering herself lashes out with all her might a blow of holy energy striking into its neck.

    With a strangled scream like a soul being sucked away the overgod implodes in on itself, the wind rushing past you whipping hair and cloaks around before the body fizzes and sizzles into a puddle of dark black matter leaving the chamber lit only by the glowing armour of Elkist, Mirriana and Zarina.

    Zarina leans forward, her multiple seals, glowing wards of power and scales gleaming brightly. "By the Lightning Lord. We have seen so many things of horror on this journey. I do not know whether that was the best or the worst, but for either I am saddened by it."

    Just steps gingerly out of the ... goo and pads a respectful distance away from the others before shaking his fur off all around, until it stands on end. Then he turns to cleaning himself, licking his wounds (literally), as they rapidly heal. In a matter of minutes, the memory is his only reminder of the fight.

    Good fight.

    Elkist Talphrin

    Elkist slumps to one knee, blood seeping from under her armour and her blade hanging loosely from her slack arm. With her good arm she reaches to prayer-inscribed belt and as her fingers trace the symbols she mutters the incantations and healing energy infuses her.

    Stronger, she rises to her feet one more.
