The Tomb of Horrors Part 1 (4e) - Group 1

Game Master Rev Rosey

Bounding across the floor, Lyan attempts to put an end to the horrible singing. C1 ignores his efforts, but the newly arrived Caller gets a warning of a short and nasty future.

Lyan, you hit C2, but only do half damage as it isn't fully materialised on your turn.

The Callers refocus their attacks. C1 targets Akemi, while C2 takes good note of Lyan.

Lyan now marked by both Callers, Akemi marked by C1.

C1 and C2 both use Steal Essence (Fort).
On hit target takes 5 ongoing psychic.
First failed save - weakened and 5 ongoing psychic (se both)
Second failed save - stunned and 10 ongoing psychic (se both)

1d20+22=34 - C2 v Lyan. Hits. 1d10+9=18 plus 5 ongoing psychic
12 damage to Akemi
18 damage to Lyan

Nerve shredding sounds engulf both Lyan and Akemi as the Callers attempt to suck them dry.

C1 took 5 from Rothel's zone and moved willingly away from Akemi, so she gets to teleport adjacent.

Only marked by C2 now -- per Compendium " A creature can be subjected to only one mark at a time, and a new mark supersedes an old one." Also, concealed.

Quite right, Lyan. List amended below.

Paging Rothel.

What did you mean by "C1 took 5 from Rothel's zone"? My zone doesn't do damage.

Rothel moves up near Norrin as his spirit returns to the enemy's side. He continues to empower his spirits to lend aid, while he firmly plants his newly purchased standard into the ground. He prods the more effective weapon users to consolidate, "If more people fight beside Rahz-Ahk, he can provide them more attacks for more power."

Rothel to H8
Spirit to L6
Sustain zone, minor
Plant Standard of Healing in H7 (Zone burst 5, any ally in zone spends a surge, all allies in zone gain 1 HP.)

Sorry Rothel - I was thinking of another zone in a different game.

Rothel calls on Rahz-Ahk to aid his allies and conjures another zone of healing for his friends to recuperate in.

Akemi nods appreciatively and shifts to take advantage of Rothel's aid. Her attacks deliver no damage, but she serenely shakes aside the baneful effects of the Caller.

Rolled 7 on both attack rolls.
13 v mark and granting CA and 20 v ongoing 5 psychic.

Rothel
Akemi 91/107; 8/9; 1AP

The yellow zone should be a burst 5 centered on H7, and Akemi and the Spirit should be sharing a square.

Amended.

The Standard of Healing zone is still showing as a burst 3 instead of 5.

Lisbarr moves to a more cedntral posision and then resumes his mattack on the first Caller.

"I don't know what you are trying to achieve here, but you will regret it! Now, say you're sorry."

Penance compelled vs C1 1d20+17=(4)+17=21 vs Will; 2d6+13=(5,4)+13=22 radiant damage. In the unlikely event that hits, the next time C1 deals damage, C2 also takes 9 radiant damage.

The Caller is unimpressed by Lisbarr's admonition.

Lisbarr

Resting his hand crossbow on the pew, the half-orc aims precisely at Caller 1.

Minor: Sudden Bolt
d20(20) + 20 = 40 vs C1's Reflex for 12 + 11 + 3d6(4, 3, 4) + 3 + 24 + 3 + d6(6) = 70 radiant damage.
On Hit: C1 is dazed until the end of Norrin's next turn.

Standard: Ranged Basic Attack
d20(12) + 20 = 32 vs C1's AC for d6(3) + 17 + 3 = 23 damage.

Move to I4 while making a Stealth check d20(6) + 18 = 24 vs C1's & C2's Passive Perception to become hidden.
___

Norrin's sudden attack causes C1 to start gurgling as many of the singing heads simply collapse. Proud of himself, he fails to move as carefully and remains firmly in sight of all his enemies.

A third Caller starts to materialise.

Lyan takes a swing at the caller in front of him, confusing it as it seems to shimmer in place for a moment. He then takes advantage to back away to the center of the room.

Take 5 psychic. Baleful Teleport vs C2. Miss for half (10) and target dazed TEOMNT. Move to G10.

Lyan befuddles C2 and leaps towards the centre of the chapel. Voices rising in increasing dissonance, C1 and C2 attack as well as they can but are baffled by the unexpected resilience of the party.

C1 rolled a 1 v Akemi. C2 charged at Lyan and rolled a 5. In fact thanks to Rothel's zone, C1 actually rolled a -1. Go that Caller.

Rothel need not say anything, as Rahz-Ahk knows how to work with this group. He infuses Akemi's limbs with his hatred and lets it flow through her attack, filling her with a blood rage. Rothel moves towards the pair of Akemi and his spirit, to get away from both of the others. Meanwhile he maintains focus on his spirit's protective miasma.

Standard, Spirit of the Killing Shot, Akemi gets a melee basic as a free action with +5 to hit and +10 to damage. If she hits it does maximum damage.
Move, to M8
Minor, sustain zone.

Rothel allows the rage of his former self to fill Akemi and watches as she absorbs the power. The fullblade swings down, as she serenely follows the path laid down for her. With the aid of Rahz-Ahk, she strikes true.

Melee basic.
1d20+18+5=31. Hits. Max damage plus 10=26.

Nodding to acknowledge the deva, she focuses once more and swings again, driving her blade deep into the now screaming throats of the singers.

Bond of Pursuit (AC).
1d20+22=24 or
1d20+22=36 - which we'll be taking.
1d12+8=14

By now C1 exists only in fragments and one more attack is likely to finish the abomination.

Caller 1 is like the winner of some kind of dubious radio contest; whose prize is to get fired upon by the half-orc.

Ranged Basic Attack
d20(14) + 20 = 34 vs C1's AC for d6(1) + 17 + 3 = 21 damage.

Move to C3 while making a Steath check to become hidden from C2 and C3.

I've fractured a finger. Posting will be slow until I can get the thing properly splinted. Apologies.

I've fractured a finger. Posting will be slow until I can get the thing properly splinted. Apologies.

Rev asked me to alert that her finger is healing but that it will likely be mid-week before she can type easily enough to participate.

"This is getting tedious" bemoans Lisbarr as the number of callers increases. Hoping this is the last, he decides to give them a good telling off.

Move to J11.
Rebuke undead targeting C2 and C3 vs Will.

Rev has asked me to say that she still cannot update today, but will try again tomorrow

Back :)

Norrin's arrow sinks into the last set of vocal chords and C1 collapses in a wave of shadow. Satisfied, the half-orc drops back down among the pews like a particularly lethal Punch and Judy puppet.

Lisbarr strides to the centre of the room and turns and admonishing gaze on the two remaining choirs. Only one takes any notice. C3 is too busy organising its tenor section.

Lyan slams his flail into the caller even as he backs away from the thing.

Lyan strikes and retreats in the healing balm offered by Rothel. C2 shrieks atonally as its prey slides out of range and re-marks the hobgoblin. Advancing once more, it attempts to drain more vitality from him.

Rothel moves up to stand behind Lyan, as his spirit, with its aura of past lives, rushes up to the caller that Lyan faces. Rothel decides to offer assistance to the man in the form of a spray of primal energy, that smolders as it strikes the malefic creature.

Effect: Lyan can make a save as a free action against an effect that a save can end.

Thanks. I'll save against the mark/CA, as failing the other save accelerates bad things.
1d20 ⇒ 9

Rothel concentrates on controlling the rakshasa spirit and offers balm to Lyan. The deva makes no headway with C2, but his former self remains alert and ready as Akemi moves swiftly to join him.

Akemi puts C2 under her Oath and misses with an attack roll of 4.

Wanting a front row seat to experience the day the music died, Norrin circles around the pew to strike at C2.

Minor action to stow hand crossbow. Use Fast Hands to draw Sunblade.

Move to E6. Use Deft Strike to move two more squares to E8 while provoking an opportunity attack from C2.

Deft Strike
d20(18) + 20 + 2 = 40 vs C2's AC for d8(2) + 9 + 3d8(4, 8, 5) + 1 = 29 radiant damage.

Norrin erupts from behind the pew and prances past C2, driving his sunblade expertly among the singers. The baritone section goes falsetto for a brief moment.

Lisbarr sketches a strange sigil in the air that calls to the callers. C3 ignores it, but C2 is fatally attracted and the eyes on all its component heads are dazzled.

C2 never even sees Lyan's attack coming and can do nothing to avoid the blow. The flail cuts across several windpipes and nearly bloodies the creature.

Flickr playing up, but update follows as soon as may be.

C2 shifts twice, trying to find a way to avoid the oncoming attackers, but Akemi remains in pursuit.

C3 marks Lisbarr and sings a hideous chord at the half-elf.

Oops, totally didn't pay attention to my turn. Sorry about that.

Rothel surveys the situation, trying to take in how everyone looks. Confident that all seems well enough, he presses his spirit form to continue the offensive. He moves to the space behind Lyan, as the spirit moves to hover above Akemi, feeling that just a push of spiritual resonance will be handy at the moment. Just then Rahz-Ahk attacks the caller, and encourages Akemi to do the same.

Rothel moves to F12.
Spirit moves to H8 above Akemi.

Took the surge, thanks. 108/115, 14/15

Rothel moves for a better view of both Callers and channels Rahz-Ahk's bloodlust through the warrior maiden.

Serene beneath her mask, Akemi bloodies C2.

Immediately, the Caller erupts as an agonised threnody bursts from it, sending a deadly psychic pain through its nearest foes.

Immediate reaction when first bloodied (which I forgot to do with C1, go me).

It is impossible to see Akemi's face beneath her mask, but she is clearly affected. Her next attack lacks it's usual confidence.

She rolled a 2 for the attack and another 2 for her save.

Norrin continues to say it with sword blades as he brings an effective halt to C2's activities for a turn. Mission accomplished, he lurks unobtrusively behind the creature waiting for the next off-key chord.

Lisbarr shrugs and tries to find other ways to mae his point.

Lisbarr flaps frantically at the Caller, rather in the manner of a housewive shooing chickens. His efforts are completely ignored, but the half-elf manages to free himself of the pernicious influence of the creature.

Lodestone Lure aug1 vs C2 Will 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Pull to occupy G9-H10, and TEOMNT C2 can only move to squares adjacent to me

Lyan swings his flail over his head, creating a magical draw for the second caller and pulling it among the allies.

HP 108, Surge 14, PP 6

Already stunned, C2 can do nothing at all as Lyan yanks it willy nilly towards him.

Already battered, C2 is unable to respond, but C3 is still daisy fresh and turns its attention to Rothel.

C3

At the outburst by the heavily wounded caller, Rothel is relieved by the semi-ephemeral nature of his spirit that allowed the wave to pass right through it. He is, however, startled when the other caller manages to take up a position near him and strike him instead. He moves warily back inside the protective aura of Rahz-Ahk's spirit cloud, and directs the spirit to harry the wounded caller despite his desire to go after the one beside him. The spirit falters, its anger focused on the one nearest Rothel. He feels the creature at his back and worries, but it is unable to consume any of his essence.

Save vs. Mark and CA 1d20 ⇒ 6 (+2 if vs charm, fear, or psychic), Save vs. Steal Essence 1d20 ⇒ 19 (+2 if vs charm, fear, or psychic)

Rahz-Ahk claws at the defenseless Caller, but fails - clearly longing to attack C3 instead.

Akemi keeps her focus and shifts to include as many of her friends and foes as possible. Calling on the light of Ioun, she brings vengeance and healing in equal measure. The outburst exhausts her more than she knew and she cannot throw off her own wounds.
