"We are not here to hurt you, do you want to talk to us?"

Aid on diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

The children do not seem swayed by Sir Thomas's plea nor the pleas of his comrades as they dance around him, singing aloud. "Ring around the rosey... Pockets full of poseys!" the cry happily as they lunge at the holy man.

He sends out a pulse of holy energy before healing himself as two fo the children merely giggle from the waves of positivity, however the third looks fairly injured from the blast.

Seeing that there is no talking to these children, Gaarm pulls forth Angrist and unleashes its fury on the already dead children.

Naxx starts an inspiring song while trying to get away from the children

"How do we stop them?"

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Magical weapons and positive energy will hurt them. Force damage works well as well.

What else do I know?

@ Sir Thomas: That's about it aside from the Con Drain and negative energy touch. You do know that they are wraith spawn, which means a wraith is nearby.

Gaarm swings Angrist wildly as Naxx imbues him with valor as the man valiantly cuts down the ghost of one of the children. The brunette boy clutches his torso as he stares up at Gaarm with big doe eyes. "I... was playing games..." he stammers before fading from sight.

The other two children still seem focused on Sir Thomas as Nizvit readies a blast of fire from his outstretched kobold hands, catching one of the children.

4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4) = 12
1d20 ⇒ 8

The blonde boy scowls as his incorporeal body shows the evidence of the burns as his gaze turns to the kobold.

Gaarm continues to hack away at the ghostly visages. His face grim and determined as they are still children.

sorry for long absence.... about the spell burning hands. It should be 4d4+6. But im back. Will keep up.... side note. I hate ghosts.... :P

-Posted with Wayfinder

Naxx keeps his song going, the music vibrating the muscles in your body inspiring you to greater heights

He then moves towards one of the ghosts (getting flanking if possible) and swings his magic scythe at it, hoping to disrupt it's connection to our plane.

To hit AC: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23 (+2 flank?)
Damage if hit: 2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 + 1 = 8

Pretty sure I can't crit a ghost, but just in case: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21 (+2 flank?)
Extra damage: 6d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 3) + 9 = 23

Tom channels once more, channel DC 16: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Beware my friends, these are just wraith spawn, it means there may be a wraith about.

The group cuts through the ghostly children with Naxx's scythe glowing a light blue as it strikes the child.

The small girl is scattered to the wind as the blade passes through her and the remaining child is slammed with holy energy.

The sounds of the children outside grow louder as they join in on the song bein sang by the remaining child here in the building as he it tries to touch Sir Thomas once more.

Gaarm moves up and swings are the remaining ghostly child with everything he has before it kills Sir Thomas.

Angrist: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15

Naxx confidant that his scythe works against the ghost steps up next to the remaining one and swings the weapon down, hoping to reap what he's sowing

To hit AC Ghost: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3(+2 if flank is possible)
Damage if hit: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

...but ends up almost cutting the feet of one of his party members

Gaarm puts on the hurt to the child's ghost as Naxx clumsily wields the scythe. The haunting image of the child almost seems dispersed, but there is still some unlife left in him.

There is only one enemy.

in that case... DC17 for half damage

The kobold stretches out his hand again as a wave of fire shoots forth, catching the remaining asailent in its wake

Fire!: 4d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 2) + 6 = 14

With a gout of flame, the last child is dispersed, however the songs of the children outside are worrying as you can count at least three more voices and they will likely be here soon.

Finally having an opening. He mumbles something in Draconic, a flamelike flash erupts around him. Leaving a ember like shimmer across his small body

"Bezt be ready" he whispers

"Does anyone remember how many children are supposed to have died here? It might give us a clue about what we are about to face"

Naxx readies to take a swing at the next ghost to step within his reach

Readied attack vs AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Magic slashing damage if hit: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4

Sir Thomas said there may be a wraith nearby. We need to find and kill it to put these children to rest.

Gaarm kicks the front door open, baring his fangs as he steps out into the night to face the ghostly children and their wraith

fort save: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26

Tom takes his down moment to cast protection from evil.

He looks slightly more gaunt than normal. The children's touches have taken their toll.

"...that sounds like ...a good idea actually.."

"Is there anything out there?!" Naxx shouts after Gaarm

Gaarm and the group quickly move to the front door and the angry man looks out at three more children and an odd creature amongst the ghostly few.

Underneath a grey cloak, an amorphous body is speckled with red-tinged eyes that all seem to focus on Gaarm as two human arms extend from the cloak and hold the hands of two of the children. The third child grip on to a corner of the cloak. "Ha. Ha. Ha. It seems we have visitors, children. Allen, Elsa and Gaard were destroyed by them and you can't play with them anymore. Doesn't this make you sad? Perhaps you should play with them?" the creature says as the various eyes focus on the remaining three children.

The two holding his hands nod and the third sucks on her thumb and looks angrily at Gaarm.

Gaarm charges into the mass of ghostly children. Setting his footing he swings his blade in a massive arc and cleaves through them.

Current AC 16; HP back to 40

Bardic knowledge vs odd creature: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

" ..I am not sure, could be a lot of things"

Naxx follows after Gaarm swiging his scythe in a low arc, hoping to deal damage where it is most needed

To hit AC - something Gaarm hit, but didn't kill yet if possible: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Magic slashing damage if hit: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8

Naxx watches his scythe slice through the air heading towards his target, wondering if it will hit or miss.

Gaarm cleaves into a small redheaded child clutching a teddy bear, sending the undead back to the Boneyard as it dissipates into the ether. As he swings, the blade slams through an older child, cutting deeply, but the wraith maintains its form.

As Gaarm cuts down the children, he feels like the blade is getting stronger somehow against these incorporeal targets.

Naxx tries to follow up, but he has no idea what the creature in the center is, nor is he able to will himself to strike a small child, even if it is evil.

The children begin to dance around Gaarm as they lash out with their hand, trying to paw the raging man.

Touch @ Gaarm-11 TAC+Rage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Touch @ Gaarm-11 TAC+Rage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

As the children touches him, he realizes that he has felt this type of attack before, back in the prison's iron maiden.

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Two Fortitude Saves from Gaarm.

The creature in the middle laughs at Naxx, seemingly amused by the man as he lunges forward to send his hand into Naxx's heart.

Gaarm roars as he twists his grip on Angrist and pulls it into a backswing, cleaving back through the rest of the ghostly children.

Gaarm feels the blunt force of the children draining his life force as Thomas sends forth a weak blast of holy energy.

Gaarm follows up with the blast of energy and slams Arngrist into the children and cuts through one, but the remaining one avoids the weapon.

He then moves up to where he can do most good (Trying to move into a flank if possible without provoking) and then swings his scythe once more...this time with feeling.

Magic slashing damage if hit: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4

Naxx waves his scythe around uselessly as Nizvit sends out a potent blast of arcane magicks to assault the last child.

With a roar, the giant creature tries to slash through Naxx with its hand as the last child still continues to try and touch Gaarm.

I think you missed the 5points of hearing Naxx and Gaarm got from me last round ;)
Sir Thomas absorbs 5 more damage from Naxx Gaarm should not be injured enough at this point to activate life link.

Thom looks at the giant creature and declares My friends shall not be hurt.
Activating Bastion of Good, Allies within 10 feet of me take half damage from the large creature. I gain a deflection bonus of +5 against its attacks but take full damage.

Gaarms body convulses in extreme pain as the incorporeal creatures pass through him. Gritting his teeth he continues to hack at their forms. He cleaves through the last ghost child and into the wraith.

to hit AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Magic slashing damage if hit: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 1 = 6

Gaarm, shocked by even more of his constitution being drained by the wraithspawn, completely misses striking the last child.

Con Drain: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Naxx is actually able to connect with the wraith as Sir Thomas sends out a blast of holy energy to protect the group from the wraith's powers, though it does little to stop the vicious draining by the wraith.

Con Drain: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Nizvit tries to set the wraith on fire, but the creature is strong and resists the flaming attack, which does nearly negligible damage. 4 damage after halving from save and halving from incorporeal.

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

"Bwahahaha! You think your puny magicks will hurt me? Please, let me feast on your life force for a little longer!" the wraith bellows as he reaches out to pull more energy from Naxx.

Gonna redirect Nizvit's attack to lessen the amount of Con Drain, potentially. Since the child is a few hp from redeath and another attack on Gaarm is bad.

Between Gaarm's first swipe, Sir Thomas' channel and Nizvit's blast of arcane magicks, the last child falls to the ground and its body slowly disintegrates back into the ether.

The undead master roars with laughter. "It seems you have dealt with the children, but they were merely spawn! You are no match for me!"

He furthers this point as he leans back as Naxx takes a swipe and the scythe passes by the wraith harmlessly. However, this allows Gaarm to swing Arngrist through the evil thing, harming it slightly.

Half damage for incorporeal.

The creature scowls at the man and thrusts his pale claw out to rip more life force from Gaarm.
