Thanks. I'll edit the above to take account of that. Gobi's got a lot to live up to hasn't he?

That he does, but the good thing is this alternate build is giving me great perspective on Gobi

Unsure what he can do to help Theren, Lavender aims to prevent a similar fate from befalling Immeral -- or himself. Shifting for better line of sight on the remaining visible ghost, Lavender fires off four quick missiles of force.

Move to R19. Magic Missile vs G2 misses.

The faintest hint of a sneering laugh is heard in the air as Lavender's magic missile bypasses the ghost.

Note for me. Father T can still make an immediate save v domination thanks to Gilliam's Sacred Flame.

Oops. OK. When your turn comes up, I'll post a spoiler for you giving the ghostly suggestion.

Immeral? Hope things are OK with you. You are in a slightly tricky situation here, so I'd prefer you to chime in before I act for you. If you don't surface by this evening (UK time), I'll do my best on your behalf to get you out of there.

OK. Posting on Immeral's behalf.

Immeral looks the cackling horror in the face and smiles grimly as his longsword strikes true. The ghost barrels away from him, hissing as its nerve fails slightly.

Immeral nods curtly and casts off the lingering effects of the enchantments holding him.

Dessicating longsword property - on hit, target takes a cumulative -1 penalty to Fort.
Blastback Swipe (Fort) v G2 (1d20+27=45, 1d8+8=13)

The Risenguard slightly reposition themselves and launch another attack on Lavender. Four of the arrows hit, wrecking more devastation on the deva.

The visible ghost abandons its attempts to take over Immeral and changes targets, easing eerily towards Gilliam as the dispenser of radiant damage. With a savage laugh, the ghost sinks into Gilliam and takes him, body and soul.

Theren slashes again at Genryu, who barely manages to dodge.

The death knight smiles evilly and shifts between Lam and Gilliam before exploding in a burst of unholy fire. The two possessed heroes manage to avoid the blast, but Lam and Genryu are not so lucky.

Unholy Flames damage (fire and necrotic) to all living creatures. Undead creatures within the burst deal an extra 3d8 fire damage with melee attacks to end of Sir Drzak's next turn. (6d10 18=57). 57hp damage to Lam and Genryu.

Sir Drzak bathes in the flames and drives his sword into the paladin, marking him.

"Are you worthy of my challenge, dwarf?" The death knight snarls as the soulsword bounces off the paladin's divinely enhanced armour.

Which I'm betting Lam is extremely grateful for right now or he'd have taken 116hp damage this round.

You have no idea lol

The dwarf clenches his eyes shut as he feels the sword glance off of him, slowly he reopens them to see that he still has all of his limbs.

Shift to J18. Second wind putting me at 127hp (not bloodied), also Earthen Strength gives me an additonal +8 bonus to my AC. The bonus lasts until the end of your next turn.

Bold though his attack is, Lam's attack is a failure. Nonetheless, his divine challenge finds its mark.

Immeral sends a shower of force missiles towards Sir Drzak, his aim unerring.

A familiar hail of arrows flys towards the eladrin.

Recklessly ignoring Genryu's challenge brings a price. Although the attack misses, Sir Drzak is still slightly shaken by the reverberations of the mighty maul.

sorry bout that... you indeed called it right with the attack on Sir D...thought i had it written down will be clearer the next time

and as for those attacks Immeral will use his shield utility spell... increases AC and reflex by 4 till the end of my next turn so i believe only 1 attack got through... let me know what the damage taken was

As the barrage of arrows follows on the heels of the wizard's own attack, Immeral shouts an arcanic word and a field of energy surrounds him blocking all but one of the arrows

Immeral- If only one of them hit, you just take 10hp damage. Minion damage is always a set amount.

Gilliam sends divine fury against his old friend before finally taking back control of his own mind. With an angry hiss, the ghost is expelled and floats, gloating and dangerous over the edge of the cliff.

Placing himself in the hands of the goddess, Lam draws a breath and steps into the zone of whispers, almost welcoming the respite offered by the immbolising voices and ghostly grasping hands.

Immeral gives a smile as he recalls one of his spells in his mind. But rather than cast it, he instead points his sword in the direction of G2 and fires a magic missle attack on him. He then calls on the power of his ring of wizardry and also regains the use of his shield utility spell.

You can use the rest of your actions just fine, but you can't get to F18 as the zone slows you even after you've saved v the immobilisation. You can get to G18 and clout R5 though. I'm putting you there for now, but let me know if you didn't want to do that.

Lam sidles uneasily away from his dominated comrades and effortlessly removes the Risenguard foolish enough to be in the way.
