Calling on the spirits to aid her, Levana strikes viciously at the Vestige and vanishes from sight into some other dimension.
Nicely done :)
Vestige has a aura 5. Creatures within the aura take a -2 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks and ability rolls.
An engulfed target is pulled into Vestige's space and is restrained. When Vestige moves, target moves with it. Engulfed creatures only have line of effect to the Vestige and only the Vestige has line of effect to the engulfed creature. When an engulfed creature escapes, it appears in a square of its choice adjacent to the Vestige.
Terrain notes: the usual 50 foot drop into necro-sludge around the edges. Fallen pillars provide cover and are difficult terrain. You are approaching from the west.

Sensing Darion's desperation, Pelor comes through with the goods and another ward falls. Only one seems to remain.
Still clutching Lyan and with Levana out of reach, the Vestige teleports closer and attacks Darion and Darwyn. Before either of them can do anything sensible unless you have an handy immedidate interrupt, the Vestige sucks both of them into itself.
Lashing Mist (AC). Four misty tendril attacks. Two v Darion, two v Darwyn. If two attacks hit the target is grabbed.
1d20+23=39 Vestige v Darion. Hits
1d20+23=38 Vestige v Darion. Hits. Darion is grabbed
1d20+23=33 Vestige v Darwyn. Hits.
1d20+23=38 Vestige v Levana. Hits. Darwyn is grabbed
2d8+9=16 for first attack v Darion
2d8+9=15 for second attack v Darion.
2d8+9=23 for first attack v Darwyn
2d8+9=17 for second attack v Darwyn
30 damage to Darion and 10 ongoing necro.
40 damage to Darwyn and 10 ongoing necro.
Minor. Engulf (Will) v Lyan and Levana
1d20+21=27 v Darion. Hits. 2d10=10 untyped plus 2d10=7 necro and he is engulfed
1d20+21=33 v Darwyn. Hits. 2d10=4 untyped plus 2d10=8 necro and she is engulfed.
10 untyped and 7 necro to Darion.
4 untyped and 8 necro to Darwyn
Damage totals this turn:
47 damage to Darion and 10 ongoing necro
52 damage to Darwyn and 10 ongoing necro

I'm going to blow this, cause I don't like how low that puts me.
Daily - Divine, Radiant
Immediate Interrupt - Personal
Target: The triggering enemy
Trigger: An undead enemy hits you
Effect: You take no damage from the target's attack. Your next attack against the target deals extra radiant damage equal to one-half the damage you would have taken from the attack.

As a grab, I think -- Athletics vs Fort or Acrobatics vs Ref as a Move action.
Also, Rev mentioned Aid Another. It is not automatic on skill checks, but not exceedingly difficult either for a trained assistant. Interestingly, it does not appear to require LOE, which I would have thought.
AID AN ALLY’S SKILL OR ABILITY CHECK
Action: Standard action. When a creature takes this action, it chooses a target adjacent to it.
DC: The creature makes a skill check or an ability check with a DC equal to 10 + one-half the creature’s level.
Success: The target gains a +2 bonus to the next check using the same skill or ability before the end of the assisting creature’s next turn.
Failure: The target takes a -1 penalty to the next check using the same skill or ability before the end of the assisting creature’s next turn. This penalty represents the distraction or interference caused by the failed assistance.
Also, I missed the vulnerability on my Mindspike damage to it, so another 5, please.

Teleportation: A teleportation power transports creatures or objects instantaneously from one location to another.
I don't see anything about teleportation being a movement in this context.
Your call
Lyan Hurzin |
Drat. Darion, Darwyn, does either of you have a way to get yourself out? If so, that one and I can try to aid the third, if I can force my way out. The hard way is that I can teleport myself 4 squares as long as somebody's adjacent to the destination. Meanwhile, I'll try again to immobilize the thingy.
Athletics to escape: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 2 = 25
Hmm. I'm guessing that doesn't, but I'll set the contingencies.
If I'm still engulfed, Spectral Legion aug2 vs AC 1d20 + 16 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 2 - 2 = 272d10 + 8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 = 20 On hit, target is immobilized TEOMNT and grants CA to my allies while they are adjacent to it.
If the 25 got me out, then please place me at V23. I'll try to aid somebody's escape -- Darwyn's Acrobatics, I guess. 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Rev DM |
Lyan cannot free himself, nor does his attack hit.
Remember the knowledge check. This thing is a creature of Moil. In some ways, it almost is Moil. Can someone roll me an Arcana check on the now functional portal please?

nice warm beach with pina coladas
Pity we don't have any Alchemist's Fire because all I know how to make is a Molotov Cocktail, which is warm in its own special way.
Lacking Alchemist's Fire, the half-orc sets alight two rolls of 3-ply with his flint & steel and hurls it at the Vestige like he would at a neighbour's house on Halloween.

Levana, did you make a save v ongoing necro damage?
Returning to the horror that is Moil, Levana tries, and narrowly fails, to slow the Vestige's advance. Frustrated and frightened, she calls on the spirits that constantly surround her. They form into a biting cloud of insects, rendering even the mighty Vestige slightly less powerful as they swarm around it.
Norrin takes good note of the Vestige and hurls his improvised weapons hard. A minor blip in the surface tells him he did some damage with the first attack, but the second flutters into nothingness.

Ignoring the necrotic energy pulsing around him, Darion fights to free himself from the hideous embrace of the Vestige.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 - Athletics v Fort
Unable to escape himself, he attempts to shove Darwyn clear.
Using standard action to give Darwyn a +2 to his next escape roll. It seems like the paladinic thing to do.
The Vestige lunges for Samson and lands a blow, but bloated with victims, cannot add another to the tally.
Lashing Mist (AC). If two attacks hit, Samson is grabbed.
1d20+23=42. Vestige v Samson. Hits. 2d8+9=16 and 10 ongoing necro damage
1d20+23=26. Vestige v Samson. Miss.

I've used inspire courage, and I'm not sure I can succeed on an escape. Sadly, I'm the only one who can cast raise dead!
Darwyn shouts aloud, struggling ferociously to escape.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
He continues to struggle against the engulfment.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Action Point
Pushing himself to his limit he tries one last desperate escape.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Nope, if Lyan's 25 didn't do it, I'm hosed. If the DC is 31+ I can't make it! I'm trapped!

Hey all, very sorry about the sudden dissapearance! Job gets extremely busy this time of year. I'm on mandatory 12 hour shifts and still have PT with the LT on some mornings at 6am so with all that it just sort of slipped my mind. Again, really sorry for holding you all up and thanks for running Darion, Rev. Please feel free to do so again if I go missing again. I should be back to a normal schedule in about a week.

No worries, Darion, as long as you're OK. Let me know when you're back on track and tell me if you need an update at any point to keep you up to speed.
Darwyn does his utmost, but nothing he can do will free him from the Vestige's foul embrace.

Samson - you're not grabbed, so you don't need to use your AP.
Samson exerts all his strength and does the impossible, hauling the Vestige over the portal. Lyan, Darion and Darwyn disappear, but the Vestige itself remains.
Lyan/Darwyn/Darion ONLY
Glowing Stone archways are set around the chamber, each with white mist swirling inside. Between the arches, some twenty well-rotted humanoid corpses hang from the ceiling, entwined with chains that drip black ichor to the floor.
Apologies for the less-than-awe inspiring evocation of the Devourer. I'm not that great with Fractal Mapper.
