    Levi extends his shield hand and Liselle glows the same time he is careful in his movements.

    Use Snake Swiftness from wand on Liselle, giving her an extra attack.

    "I don't like this very much." Abigail says as she watches their enemy vanish from sight. Looking around she is caught unaware as the figure appears in the center of the group. Watching that blade of light come at her the priestess seems to shrink back unsure if her protections will hold. However as it seems to collide with the invisible barrier that protects her she lets out a small sigh of relief. "That could have gone worse." she notes as she looks around at everyone. Her unicorn companion was hurt however still willing to help as it tapped its horn upon Alistar, closing some of his wounds. Meanwhile the little spirit of light that she had instructed to stay near Sol, Orchid, and Liselle let out a warm glow of light towards Sol.

    "I will try to restrain him, but if it works it will only last so until all of you act. Not a second longer." she warns the others before casting her spell. Asking for help from the power she served to chain him and blind him, if only for a brief moment.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Alistar heals 14
    Sol heals 23+8temp +2 Sacred bonus to Fort saves and vs bull rush so long as he has said temp hp, and all hp that places him above full becomes temp hp from said healing.

    Then she is casting Inhibit upon their enemy, Will DC 22 or he is forced to delay his action until just before Abigail acts (which will be after everyone else gets to hit him again)

    Spoiler: Liselle's Snakes Swiftness Attack
    Show

    This is before Liselle's turn starts, so using the stats from the previous round. Her non-armor AC is still just 11 if there's an AOO as a result of it.

    SSA - (1d20+25)[44] - Included the Robilar's Gambit bonus this time! Critical Threats on a 43+.
    SSA Damage - (4d8+50)[69]
    SSA Sneak Attack - (1d6)[1]
    SSA Crit Conf - (1d20+32)[43]
    SSA Crit Damage - (8d8+100)[124]


    Levi's casting of Snake's Swiftness... actually took Liselle (considering how to reposition herself out of retaliation range) by surprise, and she can do little but hope the return blow is inaccurate as her chain flicks out once again.

    But after *that*, its time for her to put a bit more space between them. Step one: Pick him as the dodge target. Step two: Tumble back to put her 20' away from him. Step three: The chain swings forth again, and as the strike winds up, she sends a large glob of ectoplasm down its length...

    Spoiler
    Show

    No Power Attack in this round. Liselle is using up her Emerald Razor, and manifesting Entangling Ectoplasm if the hit lands.

    Melee Touch Attack - (1d20+23)[41] (crit on a 41+)
    Crit Conf - (1d20+30)[44]
    Damage - (4d8+15)[36]
    Crit Damage - (8d8+30)[63]
    SA - (1d6)[6]

    If that's a hit, berserker-boy is entangled for 5 rounds.

    AoO against Alistair's spell:
    Brilliant Sword vs. Alistair's casting
    (1d20+18)[25]
    On a 36+ (1d20+18)[34] to confirm crit
    Deals (1d8+18)[21]
    On a crit, deals (2d8+36)[49] more damage
    If hit, Concentration DC damage is required to complete the spell

    Liselle wraps her chain around Halbinger's legs, shredding and entangling them.

    Halbinger's muscles rapidly grow from the damage causing his armor to explode off of his body with an area blast of concussive force and armor shrapnel that deals (8d8)[37] damage.
    Reflex DC 20 for half:
    Abigail (1d20+7)[9]
    Alistair (1d20+14)[31]
    Levi (1d20+13)[32]
    Liselle (1d20+22)[28]
    Orchid (1d20+6)[10]
    Solstafir (1d20+11)[27]
    Zombie (1d20+11)[13]
    Unicorn (1d20+7)[9]

    He also turns and performs an AoO against Liselle, no longer encumbered by his armor, and dramatically stronger from all the damage he's taken. His muscles bulging in an unnatural manner that makes him no longer appear entirely human.

    AoO vs. Liselle:
    Brilliant sword vs. Liselle:
    (1d20+26)[35]
    On a 42+ (1d20+28)[38] to confirm
    On hit it deals (1d8+26)[33] damage
    On a critical hit it deals (1d8+56)[58] additional damage.

    Halbinger's pupils once more expand into dark voids as he instantaneously moves (Shadow Hand Teleport) a short distance from the group and summons a surge of vitality, repairing the entangling damage to his legs (Iron Heart Surge).
    He then spits foam and blood from his mouth as he screams unintelligibly at you:

    "MOLUS ROF! Elbicnivni m'i! Dleiy Reven ll'i! Sretsnom pu evig! Regnorts em sekam ylno egamad!"
    Will Save DC 20 vs. 1 round of Daze [Mind-affecting] (if you're immune and I didn't remember, ignore the roll):

    Levi (1d20+23)[27]
    Liselle (1d20+16)[29]
    Orchid (1d20+9)[18]
    Solstafir & zombie - immune


    Halbinger shifts into a new fighting stance as the darkness coalesces around him and six glowing purple eyes appear in a ring just behind the overly-muscled human, his skin stretched and torn from the expansion of the muscles underneath. Equally spaced between the glowing eyes are long shadowy limbs tipped with claws made of darkness so dark they're visible in the blackness of the arena. It seems to be a symbiotic creature. Its shadowy form partially inside of Halbinger's overly-muscled and damaged form.

    Halbinger is no longer in Stance of Alacrity.

    Spoiler: Kn Planes
    Show
    This is an Outsider from the Plane of Shadow. A very powerful one. Its shadowy form provides it 50% concealment and makes it nearly impervious to physical damage. Energy damage should be effective, though this thing is elusive with high touch AC and saves and possibly other defenses.

    This thing appears to be manipulating Halbinger's body almost like a puppet. Halbinger is likely immortal as long as thing is attached.

    If it ever manages to scratch you with a claw, it can continuously attempt to drive you insane. Its influence becomes harder and harder to resist though the effect has some limits on range and duration.

    Alistair

    "The shadow is a powerful outsider controlling him, we have to destroy it first. It's going to be tough to hit but energy attacks should damage it," Alistair said, "be careful, a single scratch from its claws can drive you insane."

    If he is not threatened, Alistair casts invisibility on himself, otherwise he backs up 5' step if that will get him out of range first.

    Abigail watches as her allies wail away at their enemy who used to be a citizen of Sol and watches as he slowly gets bigger and bigger with each strike. Making his armor begin to buckle under the pressure. Seeing it about to explode off of the seemingly immortal human the priestess quickly cast a healing spell upon herself to heal both her and her unicorn before the incoming attack, stealing time it seems as she does so.

    Spoiler: Close Wounds share spell
    Show
    9+5 (healing hands) +6 Magic of the Land +6 Augment healing + 2 ritual blessing+8temphp

    28 +8 temp to the two of them

    Unicorn hp 42/42 +15 temp total (due to Initiate of ilmater making all hp healed above max turn into temp) with a +2 to fort saves and +2 vs bull rush and trip so long as it has said temp hp

    Abigail has 58/58 + 19 temp with a +2 to fort saves and +2 vs bull rush


    After the their wounds heal the armor explodes taking away much of the health the two of them just gained.

    Spoiler: HP totals after armor explodes
    Show

    Unicorn 20/42 hp

    Abigail 40/58hp


    After hearing both Levi and Alistar inform her of stuff she didn't know the priestess was sure that the monster was in some form alive and thus she could not harm it in the traditional sense. Thinking up a plan she once more heals the party as she thinks of how best to help.

    Spoiler: Actions
    Show

    Healing spirit will heal Liselle for 23+8temp +2 Sacred bonus to Fort saves and vs bull rush so long as she has said temp hp, and all hp that places her above full becomes temp hp from said healing.

    Unicorn heals CLW on Alistair (1d8+5)[9]

    Abigail casts Mass Cure Light wounds to top everyone off as I believe everyone has taken some damage by this point (though I am not sure ) 8+11+8 (Augment Healing) + 2 (Ritual Blessing) + 5 (Healing Hands) + +8 Temp hp (34 +8 temp)
    Magic of the land for a potential +8 more (1d20+13)[14] need a 15 or higher to pass so should be easy

    And I will use a Healing Kicker to give everyone until the next round a +3 competence bonus on their reflex saves until her next turn.
    All hp healed above max gets turned into temp hp, and so long as we have temp hp we gain a +2 bonus to fort and saves vs bull rush and trip

    "There you are," Solstafir said as the shadow-wrought creature possessing Geraldo's brother revealed itself. He met the purple gaze of its six eyes without trepidation, though his usual eagerness gave way to a burning anger at seeing his quarry cowering behind a man who was brave enough to risk his own life and limb time and again. "Come out and face us, before I climb into your little hidey hole and drag you out!" It may not be natural light, but the flame he spat at the monster was bright and hot nonetheless as he closed the distance to make true on his threat.

    "Why is he..." Liselle was poorly educated, not terribly curious, and apathetic to most things and people around her. She was, however, technically a genius. Working out backwards speech... well, her pronunciation would probably be a little off, but as an intellectual exercise... child's play.

    "yhw od uoy... No, that's not right. ?sretsnom su kniht uoy od yhw, rehtorb s'odlareG"

    Following the lead of the others, Liselle takes up position to flick her chain at the shadow monster. It probably won't do anything... but she isn't terribly well equipped to fight the shadow beast, and doesn't think hitting its meat puppet will help the situation much.

    Alistair gets off his spell, vanishing from sight.

    Levi's blast directly hits the purple-eyed Shadow Entity, though the creature shifts to avoid being hit directly in one of its eyes.

    Solstafir's fire breath flows over both of the enemies, Halbinger electing not to try to avoid whatsoever.
    The Shadow Entity shifts back and forth as if it's breaking its own body up to try to slip through the flames: Reflex (1d20+12)[31]

    The zombie attempts to poison the Shadow Entity, who doesn't even seem to notice.

    Orchid's brilliance causes the Shadow Entity to squint and retreat to take better cover behind Halbinger, some kind of shadow smoke lifts from the Entity as it burns from the light.

    Liselle flicks her spiked chain at the Shadow Entity, who doesn't even seem to notice, though Halbinger's face gives a surprised and pained expression and he releases his grip on his brilliant sword, the weapon falling onto the ground, as if he's had a flash of clarity. It's gone as quickly as it came, what's left of his mind again under the control of the Shadow Entity.

    The pair teleport back into the middle of the group. Halbinger no longer armed, but still wildly dangerous; his hulking muscles so large they've shredded his skin around them as his black, tainted blood leaks down all over his body.

    Halbinger, now unarmed, uses Rabid Bear Strike against Orchid followed by a quick kick. The Shadow Entity likely aiming to remove the source of damaging light as quickly as possible.
    Rabid Bear Strike vs. Orchid
    (1d20+46)[47] (Critical miss)
    On a 66 (1d20+46)[61] to confirm
    On hit it deals (1d3+48)[51] plus (10d6)[34] damage
    On a crit it deals an extra (1d3+48)[49] damage
    (1d5)[3] - misses on a 1

    Snap Kick vs. Orchid
    (1d20+46)[64] (miss due to miss chance)

    The Shadow Entity's claws stretch outward to find targets, each claw going for a different foe.
    The insanity inflicted by the Shadow Entity's claw overcomes Immunity to Mind-Affecting, however, if you are Immune or are in the Unicorn's Magic Circle Against Evil Enemies, you may make a Will Save against the insanity every round you're afflicted.

    The Unicorn feels the insanity scratch at its brain, though wills it back for now.


    The Shadow Entity looks up longingly with its six purple eyes at Levi. Levi's previous exposure to this creature makes its influence greatly more difficult to resist, he must overcome a DC 31 Will Save ((1d20+23)[34]) or become Confused for (1d4)[4] rounds. The Entity's gaze also pierces the mind, dealing (1d4+1)[4] Wisdom damage.

    The unintelligible gibberish flooding into your mind carries a strong feeling of desire. The Shadow Entity wants to possess you, but that's all you can currently make out. The Entity also seems more clearly defined to you, as if you can see it more clearly due to the damage it is inflicting on your mind.



    The Shadow Entity seems to be having some trouble maintaining its form due to all of the damage it has received.

    Liselle has a truly massive grin on her face as she runs over to collect the dropped sword. Her chain might only be a distraction against the shadow monster, but there was a blade of light, just sitting around waiting to be shoved deep into... whatever passed for a shadow monster's guts.

    Solstafir's will forced his axe to for but a moment abandon its cold metal to instead transform into a roaring inferno, all the burning rage flowing through his blood come manifest in a blade reaching far longer than even his oversized handiwork had any right to. He struck out multiple times in quick succession as he moved with the speed and precision of a dancer turning a simple ribbon into a blur of speed and color.

    The team bears down upon the Shadow Entity, the combined might of your attacks and the deadly illumination tearing the creature apart, causing it to disintegrate.

    No longer reinforced by the Shadow Entity, Halbinger releases a blood curdling battle cry as blood erupts from his hulking form. He moves at instantaneous speeds making one final attack at each of his foes before his body finally gives out.

    With his final attack completed, Halbinger's body breaks apart. His form splattering onto the darkness of the arena. From this spot the darkness of the arena retreats revealing treasures and a tree grows from deceased delver's corpse producing twelve Dungeon Fruit-shaped voids, accretion disks of light forming around them clearly marking them as what you would expect.

    Halbinger had:

This weapon threatens all the squares it can reach and can be used as effectively against an adjacent enemy as against one at the edge of its threatened area.

    As the Shadow entity is destroyed and the former creature of Sol unleashes his dying attack Sister Abigail feels the full force of the monsters attack, however she had prepared for this eventuality. Had even made a rule about it, that no healer could enter combat without being able to survive it. And as her body collapses to the ground, bleeding more than any one person should be able to, she looks up at the others and weakly calls out. " I will be fine, nothing a quick bit of magic cannot cure." as she says this she uses one of her spells to close up her wounds just enough so she can stand up and show the others that she is fine and not in any life threatening Danger. "Had he focused on me from the beginning I may have been in trouble, as I do not think I could of healed myself as quickly as he could damage me, but I had faith in all of you being able to help me." she explains to the others as she looks at the Dungeon fruit, "Time to experiment." and with that she eats one of the fruits.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show
    Due to delay death Abigail had 7 rounds after entering the death door to be in the negaitive numbers of hp before dying, and so long as she was positive before spell ends she would still be alive. A simple close wounds will bring her back up to enough where she can function and stuff as an immediate action so we are fine as there is nothing else to fight.

    Levi gasps and jumps as the marionette's last attack causes Abigail to collapse, motionless. Abandoning rational thoughts and emotions driving him, the halfling warlock hastens himself into the sub-optimal method of sifting his bag for something while uttering repetitive "please." The rasp but assuring voice from the priestess causes him to stop his act and witness her animated form, blossoming blood, knits herself back to her original state with healing magic. His chest cannot stop inflating and deflating as he helps removes the remaining wounds of the party by supplementing their body with extra dose of healing devotion when they updates him with their status. After the group is at full health, he stares at the spot where the shadow disintegrate, his eyes blank and unfocused as if he is a lost child.

    When Abigail eats one of the Dungeon Fruit, she feels a powerful connection to the Plane of Shadow. Hide and Move Silently are now considered class skills and she gains a +8 bonus to both. Eating more of the fruit will increase the connection to the Plane of Shadow, likely granting different abilities.

    Add 1 to the Action Points counter on Abigail's sheet.

    Orchid cringes from the desperation attack of the shadowed creature and watches it disperse before leting out a sigh of relief. She takes stock of the party before focusing on Levi. She walks up to him and waves her hand in front of his face

    "Levi? Are you doing okay?" she asks.

    As Levi floats down to her worried the priestess puts a wrinkled old hand on the halflings much smaller one. "I will be well, I foresaw the Dungeon eventually targeting me first to get to all of you and so I acted accordingly for this Death door. Thank you though for being so worried about me. Please go help the others though while I try to finish recovering. By the time you are done I am sure I will be better." she reassures her halfling companion as she lets the divine magic work through her old body slowly returning it back to its state before the former inhabitant of Sol had almost ended her life.

    Once Abigail is fully healed she watches as Orchid makes her way over to Levi and begins asking if he is okay, pushing herself off of the ground she makes her way over to her friend and rests one of her tired arms on his shoulders. "We are here for you Levi, even if all you need is our silent support." she reassures him, making it clear that if he didn't want to talk about it he didn't have to.

    Spoiler: OOC

    She will also quickly look him over to make sure he is not in shock or anything (1d20+20)[36]


    Afterwords when she had eaten the fruit she felt the powers of the shadow realm take route in her and looked to the others. "The fruit seems to grant you some sort of power from tied to the realm of shadows though it will also tie you to the realm. I have a strong feeling eating more then one may grant more powers but also strengthen the bond more which may cause one to be unable to return to Sol, this is only a hypothis though as I don't really have any proof besides feeling a strong bond to the plane of shadows now." she explains to the others, letting them decide what they would choose to do.

    Levi convulses after Orchid and Abigail attempts to snap him out of his frozen state. He hangs his head. A momentary lapse causes it to look up. His scleras and pupils are black.

    "One of the many,
    notes sprung from,
    the mouth of the Devouring Beyond.

    Beware, beware,
    its death knell calling,
    a curse upon the living,
    and the dead.

    An apocryphal being,
    whose glistening hide that resist magic,
    whose strikes trap their victim,
    in a world unlike any other."


    The halfling warlock's voice is booming and prophetic. After the utterance of the last sentence, Levi breaths, his eyes return to their normal coloring. He raises an eyebrow at Orchid and Abigail.

    "What did I miss?"

    After healing up, Alistair tends to anyone else who remains injured. Later, when the group is tallying their spoils, he picks up one of the dungeon fruits. The promise of more power was interesting, but at the end of the day, he wanted to get back at those that had wronged him and spend time with his family.

    Alistair eschews the dungeon fruit, then he hands it to the wraith under his control.

    “Eat that,” he said.

    Abigail is taken aback when Levi's scleras and pupils turn black, having never really witnessed something like this before. However as he begins talking she is reminded of her sister Sara when she goes into one of her episodes. Holding onto Levi in a firm grip she tries to keep him steady incase he begins to convulse or anything else as he recites some kind of prophecy. "Someone write down what he is saying, word for word." she calls out to the others as she quickly rips some cloth off of her rags and dumps some water onto it before placing the rag on his forehead, doing everything she had learned from taking care of her sister when she goes into one of her prophecy episodes to take care of her friend.

    As Levi returns to normal Sister Abigail summons a light and looks into his eyes looking for any signs of damage before snapping her fingers next to his ears. Once she was sure there was no lasting harm to him she relaxed her hold on him. "Short version, you just had a prophecy, or at least it sounded like one. I am not sure where it came from, but given my sister has them often I know some of the signs she shows, yours were a bit different though." Looking around she calls out "Did anyone copy the message down to read back to him?" she says in a soft old motherly voice. "How are you feeling by the way Levi, you had us all worried there for a few minutes, after that shadow was destroyed you seemed lost." she said concerned, unsure how far he would let her in.

    Orchid is stunned for a moment before Abigail's command snaps her out of it. She then retrieves writing supplies from her haversack and begins down what Levi is saying. "Mostly what the sister said. Speaking of her, I do have some business to discuss if you're open to it while we're not under the eyes of Solum."

    Levi waves away Abigail's concerns.

    "I am fine. It has been a long day. Has anyone ate the fruit?"

    He gazes at the wraith who is about to eat the fruit.

    Alistair's commanded Wraith wraps itself around the fruit, and as the fruit disappears, so too does the Wraith. It's not invisible, it's just gone, completely vanished and now absent from the group's presence.

    10 Dungeon Fruit remain.
