As Lino is outside, he looks at Jimmy, "See that amulet that NAstasia is holding."Lino points to Nastasia, "It is a key, there are 8 of them located at each temple,temple of Boccob, Temple of Corellon Larethian, Temple of Garl Glittergold, temple of kord, temple of Moradin, Temple of Yondella, Temple of Heironeous, and lastly temple of Pelor. We are at the temple of Pelor." As Lino pauses, he looks at the temple now, it is now lying in ruins. "Once all amulets are collected you are able to go to the heavens to the gods, One wish is what the finder of all the 8 amulet gets. In the hands of good, the world will be peaceful, but in the hands of evil, the world will be in chaos!" Lino looks at the temple, "I know i maybe a child and this is of what i am telling you comes out of a fariy tale, but it is true!" The lighting finally stops and the sun starts to shine though the clouds towards the ruins of what once used to be a temple. " The nearest temple is in the forest where the elves live, The temple of Corellon I know the way, we should prepare before going." Lino nods his head then heads toward the ruins of the temple kneeling.
Everyone can level up to 3rd level, just let me know what you did to your character on the discussion board. if you guys want to rest at the tavern it is 5gp per room. Sorry for writing so much.Well 7 more to go.
As you try to concentrate to summon Lyren, She appears in front of you, she wears a white robe and her wings glows as she flows in the air. She looks at Niles, "Die Fiend!" Lyren charges Niles going right through him. Niles falls to the ground turning to skeleton then to dust. You now see Lyren holding a bluish figuare of what seems to be Niles. Lyren points her finger at Niles bluish figure and a light appears. Niles screams in pain" No, NOoooooo." There is slients. Lyren looks at you. "He is in Hell now where he belongs, i can't hold this temple much longer, so hurry." Lyren pauses then disappears "Don't forget to use the pendeant."
Ok, it is now up to 10 rounds, better hurry. I am guessing that before that Keldemar follows Jimmy
Jimmy , Keldemar, Naz
Spoiler:
As you all make it down to the front door of the exit to your way out of the temple, all of you are now hearing the shout of a man screaming
"In exchange for what, toad? A gift to your forlorn lord who fears us so much he left a lackey here to delay us while he runs and hides? The soulless joy of gold and trinkets and power? You are nothing."
I start concentrating...
Make a concentration check Nastasia, Keldemar what do you do? Naz follows Jimmy
The voice of Lyren says " you are going to have to concentrate your energy into the amulet. Once the amulet shines bright aim it at your foe and then summon me to rid of this foes.
Lino nods at Nastasia "May Pelor be with you." Niles is now looking at Nastasia (ignoring the others) and the amulet that she has. "GIVES THAT TO ME!!!!!!"Niles screams
"You art but a pustule on the buttocks of a demon's lap dog!"
"Thou shalt fester for a thousand lifetimes in the eternal shade of the lightless pits beyond the abyss!"
"You are as the spittle cast from the mouth of a dieing horse, soaked into the parched earth and pounded excrement!"
"May Pelor turn his light from you, may Mayaheine sap the strength from your arms, may Heironeous use your severed head as a spitoon, may St. Cuthbert blunt his anger on your sternum, may Vecna take your hand and eye as his own, may no god give you respite, no force give you succor, and no mortal give you peace!"
"BE GONE"
Turning results (2 uses for Disciple of the sun again) MAX HD 5, TURNING DAMAGE 11
to make things easlier we will still keep the same initative. As it hits Niles, he laughts " Down Down to the earth you will all go! Torono,Torono to rule the world."
Naz tries to use his longbow to hit Niles but as soon as the arrow goes near Niles it drops to the ground.
Jimmy it is your turn
Order of initative:
Jimmy
Keldemar
Niles
Nastasia
Naz
As Jimmy sees the skeletons crumble to dust he doesn't feel any obligation to slow down, instead he starts running for the entrence once again.
If or when he gets to the trapped room (The one with the pillars) he will stop and make sure that Lino runs around the traps and not through them!
As you all are able to make it to the next room, you are all in the room with the pillars. Lino stops staring at the other end. Across the hall you all see what looks like to be Nile, but as he walks closer the flesh of his skin start to fall apart showing part of his skeleton. A purplish aura surrounds Nile now. "We don't have alot of time! you must hurry and rid of this fiend!" Lino shouts Everyone initative. You all have 40 rounds till the temple falls down, as i remember last time, all the traps were disabled.
As the skeletons are defeated, the stone from the celing are starting to fall, Naz and Nastasia get hit by the stones that fell from the ceiling dealing 2 damage. Lino runs out towards the front door.
"In the name of Mayaheine, Shield maiden of Pelor, Sword arm of the Sun, BEGONE!!!"
Two tunring attempts consumed for Disciple of the Sun Turning Check = 19 + 2 CHA + 2 Know: Religion = 23 Max Hit Die Effected: 6 (Sweet Mother) Turning Damage = 12 + 2 (cleric level) + 2 (CHA)
The closest 16 HD of undead, of which no idividual can have more than 6 HD, are wiped from existence
DAMN! THAT WAS AWESOME! As the 2 skeletons turn to dust. The ring of fire surrounding Lino disappears, "Hurry, the temple is going to fall soon. NAstasia and Keldemar i need a reflex save
As you use your sap againist one of the skeletons, manage to hit it and is able to get out of the the skeletons way as he notices that Keldemar is coming. Keldemar, as you try to hit the skeleton closest to you the one that Jimmy was attacking you miss. The other skeleton walks toward Keldemar.
Nastasia it is your turn and Everyone make a reflex save.
Don't forget I am aiming for my room to gather the rest of my belongings.
for Nastasia
Spoiler:
When you enter your room, everything is thrown all over, luckily you every able to hide your savings good so that the kobolds couldn't find them. you find 20gp. you are also able to find a ring and a disk of pelor on your bed.
since Naz has not rolled his reflex i will just NPC him and Keledmar for now. Everyone but Nastasia is able to dodge the stone coming down from the ceiling dealing 3 points of damage As you all make it down the stairs, the stairs collapse. As Lino runs ahead of you all towards the door to the way out, a ring of fire surrounds Lino instantly. He is trapped. Suddenly 2 skeleton come from the door way. Everyone make an initative.
Hey guys, I won't be able to post again til Saturday. I have to go in to work early all week. Sorry.
That is fine, i know i have been away for a long time, but i am going away in 2 more days to CT(Family), there will be a computer there, but i have no clue what will happen when i am down there. After this trip i am not going anywhere.
Jimmy looks over the edge of the roof. How high up are we. Is it possible to jump?
If not Jimmy will run towards the stairs and pick up his bow on the way.
As Jimmy looks at the edge down, he could tell that jumping would be considered jumping for suicide. The stairs the stairs are the only way to go. Lino shouts to everyone "come on we have to hurry!" as he runs down the stairs
As Naz pulls out Nastasia, you all still notice Nile's body flowing above the vortex, his body lowers into the vortex and you can see him cry in pain as he is being sucked into the vortex disappearing from the world. "Well, Well, Well, I didn't think you would defeat one of my best fighters, Nile. Well you did me a deed of getting rid of him for his weaknesses. I thank you." It is the voice of Torono, but Torono is not there! "You won't survive the next time we meet." everything goes slient, then the temple starts to rumble.
As Jimmy, Naz and Keledmar move out of the way a blackish purple vortex appears out of the ground, Nastasia is now being sucked into the vortex, losing 6 hit points, the shock she is getting of dark energy. Make a grapple check Nastasia to the floor.
As you strike Nile, he falls to the ground. He is dead, but as he lies there his corpse begins to fly straight up in the air in the air. Then stays in the air. Everyone make a reflex save!
If I cant reach him i will shoot an arrow which will give the same end result.
either way you hit himJimmy swings his rapier striking Nile is screams in pain, after jimmy strikes Nile. He grunts and then smiles looking straight at Lino.
Thanks for the repost. I think what happened is that you posted after I had loaded up the page and started composing my post in notepad. I had to rush off to work, so I didn't go back and read everything. I just hit "Submit Post" and hauled ass. I'll start hitting the "Refresh" button before I post.
I close the distance and attack Nile with me sword.
When I posted, 'Nastasia's post was the last one. I didn't see your post saying Torono had dissapeared or I wouldn't have used my Hexblade's Curse.
I will repost it,that is fine I would say 50 yards, it is a big roof Torono smiles "You think me to be naive, i can sense the power in your hand! The problem is you don't know how to use that power!" Torono laughts as lighting strikes, "I don't have time for this,Nile finish them. The person far away from Torono takes the hood off revealing his face. He is a human with a shavin head, scars all over his face, and blood still dried on his face. He holds in his hand a battle ax. Torono and the rest of the hooded people disappear as lighting strikes them. "I, Nile the fighter for Torono will kill you all! May you all feel pain!"
At the sight of Torono's disappearance, and the many lightning strikes shake the superstitious youth to his core. A cold chill clutches his bowels and he responds in the only way that makes sense to him.
"Pain? Pain? You are the one who will feel the pain...and I," he rushes onward...casting away his short-spear, eyes wild. He clutches his sword in both hands and attacks Nile as soon as he's in range. "I will bring the pain!"
... WOW!that is alot! As Nile is chargeing toward Jimmy , you strike Nile right in the chest! As you take the spear out, he kneels to the ground, " Damn, didn't think that you all your were tough, no matter."
just waiting for Naz's initative.Keledmar, Torono is gone, and Nile is the only one now , that was unless you wanted to use the hexblade curse on him instead. Jimmy shoot the crossbow bolt into Niles shoulder, he laughts and pulls the bolt out of his arm.
Nastasia it is your turn.
how far is he from me, and more importantly how far is he from the edge
"Oh yes, Torono, and how long do you think I have played the part of this measly mortal to get my hands on this trinket. You think your going to take it from me, you are a fool."
Bluff: nat 20 + 2 = 22 (fortune and dice rollers favor the idiot)
oh and initiative 6+2=8 (but apparently only once)
I would say 50 yards, it is a big roof Torono smiles "You think me to be naive, i can sense the power in your hand! The problem is you don't know how to use that power!" Torono laughts as lighting strikes, "I don't have time for this,Nile finish them. The person far away from Torono takes the hood off revealing his face. He is a human with a shavin head, scars all over his face, and blood still dried on his face. He holds in his hand a battle ax. Torono and the rest of the hooded people disappear as lighting strikes them. "I, Nile the fighter for Torono will kill you all! May you all feel pain!"
Is Keldemar all set?As you all set you all head up toward the stairs to the roof, you are able to see the sky, the clouds are dark and it is night time. Thunder cracks. As you make it to the roof, you see Torono's back as he is looking at the village beside him are 7 people weating black cloaks. Torono turns around "How nice of you to join us," Torono looks at Nastasia, "you know what i want, give it to me and i will spare you all!" He give a scary smile
Jimmy swaps weapons yet again. Pulling forth his shortbow.
Making a small shrug he sets off towards the roof.
"Well ill take point and check for more traps. Even though I cant fathom how he could have mannaged to set all these traps he certainly did!"
Nastasia the amulet you find in Lyren's hand, is the size of your plam of your hand. The design on it looks familar to you. please make a knowledge(religion)check.
Know religion: 6+5=11
Everyone else you notice that Nastasia faints
Nastasia
Spoiler:
The amulet in her hand, it reminded you of something, as you pick it up ever thing goes white and you see the figuare of Lyren. "Nastasia... don't be alarmed... it is me Lyren. I don't have much time to explain and i am sorry, i will not be able to help you. What you have in your hand is what Torono wants, you hold the amulet of Pelor, there are 7(Boccob, Corellion Larethian,Garl Gilittergold,Kord, Moradun, St. Cuthbert and lastly Obad-Hai) more temples you must got to. There a w guardian of the temple will be,( the keeper of the god's amulet) show them the amulet i presented to you and they will help. If Torono get all of these amulets before you do, we are doomed!" The closest temple, Corellon Larethian is in the woods, where the elves live." Lyren smiles, "oh and please take care of Lino for me... May i pray for you all, for the gods are watching you." As you stops talking white wing spring from her back and she flys away. you open your eyes seeign everything is back to normal
I reach out and gently close her eyes, "I shall finish your task, sister."
Then I let my hand slip down to hers, take the amulet, and inspect it.
Nastasia the amulet you find in Lyren's hand, is the size of your plam of your hand. The design on it looks familar to you. please make a knowledge(religion)check.
I throw my self at the kobold, trying to use my shield to pin it to the ground. (dropping my sword if necessary)
This is a grab attempt, provokes an AoO, my touch attack is 18+3 = 21, my grapple check is 17+3=20
Assuming I pin the creature "Degenerate spawn of a gecko, tell me what is going on, or die!"
You grapple onto the kobold it screams "AHHHHH ok ok i will talk! Our leader is trying to take over all the temples" you hear him mentions the names of the gods, Boccob,Pelor, Corellon Larethian, Ehlonna, etc. "After our Master took over the temples. He would then fight the gods himself and kill them all! Then he would becoming a god and everyone will worship him and he would rule the world." The kobold stops speaking, then it starts to scream, "Ahhhhhhh, he know that i have told, ahhhhhhhhh, forgive me Master" The kobold before he dies says "He is not alone, i hope you all die before his feet!" then he dies. Lino and Jimmy come down the stairs, "We saw Torono!" says Lino "Lets go to the roof now." Lino stops talking. "We should be careful though, i found some more traps upstairs, idisabled them, the kobolds set traps all over the temple so be careful where you step." says Jimmy
its ok Keldemar slashes at the kobold#3 killing it. The last kobold attacks with its spear at Keldemar in anger and misses badly, making the kobold fall on the ground.
Naz twists about, eyes darting from his fallen foe to the kobold rising from 'Nastasia's attack. Kobold 5 Trailing kobold gore he arcs his blade down upon his head.
attack: 15+4=19 dmg: 5+3=8
DAMN! bloodfest! the kobold explodes :) weeeeee! Naz kills off the weaken Kobold that Nastasia attacked. 2 kobolds are still alive.
And then I will begin backing up the stairs, with the others in front of me, I won't attempt to weaken them.
Nastasia strikes the kobold#3 it lets out a cry of pain falling to the ground weak about to die. Kobold #5 is getting up from the bullrush. Lino prays some more. Jimmy checks for more traps,and Naz it is your turn now.
Order:
Naz and Jimmy
Torono
Kobold 1+3
Keldemar(i rolled for him)
kobold4
Nastasia
kobold 5
Lino(doesn't attack, only has actions)
Naz is able to kill off kobold #2, while Jimmy attacks Torono striking him. Torono laughts "I don't have to deal with this!" He snaps his finger and disappears in a flash. Kobold 1+3 are getting up now from the bull rush done by Nastasia. Keldemar runs toward the kobold trying to get up kobold #1 and strikes it, killing it. Kobold #4 is trying to get up from the bull rush.
Jimmy you notice that the flooring underneath you breaks loose, you then, jump out of the way of the pit. You are now able to see ahead of you, a man who seems to be human, but slightly has pointed ears. His hair is short and black, but cut uneven badly. Also his eyes have a yellow glow to them. "You dare take on the Great Torono!," Torono laughs again like a madman, "Give me the boy, and i will leave ye be...and if you don't then, you are just one of those sad legends of a stupid hero... " Torono starts walking toward you now. Lino looks at you, " Don't worry, she will come." kneels on the ground, mumbling to himself,praying.
