A Little Learning - Rune Stones/Savage Blight part 3 (Inactive)

Game Master Rev Rosey

Rising like a white fury, Whiteclaw moves deliberately towards Kyleth, taunting the blind witch as she looms over her.

Sensing the approach of the gnoll, Kyleth explains simply,
"Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment. Death is but a small thing, easily overcome, ambition strengthens any worthy sinew."

Seraphiel struggles as the acid eats into him, and tries to send further damage into Kyleth.

Sun Strike (Ref): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35, on hit 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 and can slide Kyleth one square, although in this case I can't see that it would help to do so.
1d20 ⇒ 13 - save v ongoing damage.

I'm not Bloodied, btw. Eldritch Blast vs Sacrificial Cleric. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Save vs Daze

1d20 ⇒ 17

"Well said, Whiteclaw!" Arianwyn cries as he casually sends a bolt of white light into the tiefling priest.

A blast of eldritch power nearly knocks the proto-tiefling off his feet as Arianwyn shakes himself free of the dazing effects of the recent explosion.

Gobi staggers groggily to his feet and gropes for his craghammer. Reason's healing power embraces him and more of his wounds close over. Like Arianwyn and Whiteclaw, he easily shakes off the aftereffects of the explosion.
1d20 ⇒ 16 - save v daze.

The last duplicate sends maddening fire towards Whiteclaw, hoping to use the gnoll against her ally.
Unhinging Ray (Will). On hit target slides 2 and makes a basic attack against an ally.
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34, CRIT. 10hp plus 2d8 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10 for the crit for a total of 20hp damage to Whiteclaw. Make basic attack on Gobi.

"I am their parent, and original," she says softly, trying to force the gnoll to attack again. Blinded as she is, she misses and retreats behind the barrier. As she reaches the relative haven, her sight clears.
Unhinging Ray (Will) v Whiteclaw. On hit target slides 2 and makes a basic attack against an ally.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 - Miss.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 - save v blindness

The cleric, bloodied and desperate, goes into a frenzy, hurling acid filled daggers at the party. The first is aimed at Reason, the second is hurled at Vel. L13 and M14

Double attack (Ref). Hurls two acid filled daggers. Burst 1 within 10. On hit target takes 7 ongoing acid damage. Miss 4 damage and 3 ongoing acid.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 - v Kia
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 - v Arianwyn
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 - v Reason
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 - v Whiteclaw
1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10. 10hp acid damage to Arianwyn, Reason and Whiteclaw with 7 onging (se). 4 acid damage to Kia with 3 ongoing.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 - v Vel
1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7. 7hp acid damage to Vel plus 7 ongoing.

Vs Gobi: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14. On hit:1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 And I'm back down to 2. I feel like a yo-yo :)

Whiteclaw's attack bounces off the ground, completely missing her old friend.

Resilience amulet save vs. ongoing acid 1d20 ⇒ 2. Bloodied from strike, then takes ongoing. Bloodied.

Vel, losing her iron control, shrieks as the acid burns into her. Then her armor flares red and she regains composure long enough to survey the battlefield. Satisfied, she darts behind the low wall, crouching beneath it to take cover.

Minor. Activate bloodcut armor -- resist 10 all TEOMNT. Save vs ongoing acid 1d20 ⇒ 5. No save, but no damage next turn, at least. Move: K8. Standard: Second Wind. No longer bloodied.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths," sneers Kyleth as Vel runs for cover.

Re-done map. The grid was getting eaten.

Cursing yet more ongoing damage to herself, Kia moves out to G16 and fires one more arrow.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Kia needs more practise with her bow

Saving throw vs og 1d20 ⇒ 7

What's this only throwing 7's? 7 in NOT a lucky number here

Despite her best efforts, Kia can neither hit the witch nor save herself.

"Well said, Whiteclaw!" Arianwyn cries as he casually sends a bolt of white light into the tiefling priest.

A little more specific, please.

Reason is too busy concentrating on channeling Ioun's many blessings to come up with witty remarks. He launches a bolt of energy at Kyleth, while ensuring the Consecrated Ground remains.

Minor to maintain CG, Move to shift it 1 square North.
Daunting Light vs Kyleth's Ref: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28. If hit, 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 8) + 5 = 18 Radiant damage, and Arianwyn gets CA vs Kyleth til end Reason's next turn.

Save vs Ongoing: 1d20 ⇒ 5

I have 2 acid CEs on me? In any event, I start at 2, gain 4 from Reason, then roll a start of turn save vs acid, assuming just one. 1d20 ⇒ 15. On fail, down at -1, or on make if there are two. If I make it I stay at one. In any event, as much as I want to charge, her aura would drop me as soon as I get into it, so I'll hold ground to snag Reason zone healing next turn, and will roll saves vs acid and the second affect, whatever it is, even if it's more acid. 1d20 ⇒ 11 and 1d20 ⇒ 8

Whiteclaw - you only need one save against the ongoing acid. It all came from the same source.

Reason grimly moves his zone of healing light further up the battlefield and launches a corruscating attack on Kyleth, channeling the residual power towards Arianwyn. The witch flinches as the attack hits, and for the first time visibly cowers away.

Whiteclaw forces aside the pain and prepares herself for the coming slaughter.

Seraphiel breathes deep and takes a moment to restore himself.

1d20 ⇒ 19 Save

As if to compensate for their previous meeting, Arianwyn strikes again at his detested foe, pulling on all the aid granted him by his comrades. All of Whiteclaw's words seem embodied in his actions.

Gobi draws strength from Reason's healing zone, moves up the field and hurls himself boldly at the witch. In his eagerness, his mistimes his attack.

Charge! 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 - miss

D1 sidles insolently past Gobi, ignoring the incoming attack from the craghammer.

OA v D1 - 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24, 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 - bloodies D1

She smiles triumphantly as the craghammer crunches hard into her and sends lacerating tendrils of wrathful madness among the companions. Whiteclaw slumps and is pushed cruelly out of the healing zone, while Kia, Seraphiel and Arianwyn find themselves nose to nose, eye ablaze with infernal bloodlust. Seraphiel's hands extend in a gesture of repudiation as light springs from his quarterstaff, heading straight for Kia.

Wrathfire Curse (recharged on bloodied). Close blast 5 v Ref. On hit target is slid 2 squares and makes an at-will attack on ally in range. Miss does half damage and slide 1 square

Hits everyone but Arianwyn. 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5) + 3 = 11. 11hp damage to Kia, Seraphiel and Whiteclaw. 5hp damage to Arianwyn.

Whiteclaw is down again.
Kia needs to make an at-will attack on Arianwyn
Seraphiel is attacking Kia.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 - Sun Strike v Ref. On hit can slide one square. Hits. 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7. 7hp damage to Kia

Still bleeding from his mutilations, the cleric dodges into the trees and lets fly with his last acid dagger.

Close Burst 1 within 10 v Ref. On hit does 1d4+6 and 7 ongoing acid. Miss, 4 damage and 3 ongoing.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 v Arianwyn
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 v Kia

Hits Kia and Seraphiel. 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7. 7hp damage to Kia and Seraphiel plus 7 ongoing. 4hp damage to Arianwyn plus 3 ongoing

Kia has taken 26hp damage this turn.

Kyleth herself shifts clear of Gobi and heads for cover, very clearly in dire straits, for all the havoc her allies are causing.

Blood trickles stylishly from the corner of Arianwyn's mouth as he waits for Kia's blow...

Arianwyn is spared, Kia is at -7 HP and lying down

"Says the one we killed once already," Vel answers. She then sends a pair of force bolts arcing over the wall, down toward Kyleth's position.

MM vs K's Ref 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15. Don't need LOS or LOE.
EDIT: Should be 29.

Vel - save v ongoing acid please.

Kyleth's eyes widen alarmingly and fear flickers over her face. Her duplicate screams once and evaporates upwards in a burst of necrotic energy that narrowly misses Gobi. Then Kyleth herself seems to fold and contort, expanding and then contracting horrifically as Vel's force blast hits her. Whatever was allowing her to return from her death is dissolving before your eyes, as she pulses with uncontrolled necrotic power. The final explosion when it comes is silent, but so intense that an aura of poisonous, necrotic vapour is left in her wake. The intricately carved rod falls in the middle of the aura and lies there, smoking gently.

Death burst. Necrotic and poison aura lasting 3 turns after her death.

Now only the cleric and the grievously depleted party remain.

Thanks. Edited init list.

Though Kia is unconscious, she senses that the tide may be turning in a mildly delirious fashion. Lying very still, she tries to will herself back to consciousness.

At least the acid seems to have seeped into the ground beside her

Minor to sustain CG, Move to centre it on K14. Beacon of Hope: Reason, Arianwyn, Whiteclaw, Kia and Basalt dog each heal 8hp

save: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Bolstered by the fall of Kyleth, Reason moves swiftly to succour his comrades, pouring healing energy into the fallen and healing the wounds of those still standing.

Whiteclaw feels the acid sink into the ground beneath her and once more cheats death of his prey.

Seraphiel, face intent, turns his full attention to the lingering cleric. His first attack goes nowhere near, but the second inexorably pulls the mutilated creature towards the vengeful party. Knowing the that the encroaching acid is still eating at him, he moves into the zone of healing.

Ah - forgive me. You should have had a free bingle when D1 and Kyleth went down. Would you like to take it?

Cleric is immobilised until the end of my next turn.

Arianwyn reappears with a sly grin on his face on the other side of the battlefield. The cleric is restrained by bonds of silvery light.

Not a problem with the bingle.

Stunned by the sudden appearance of an enraged warlock, the cleric can do nothing to fend off the attack.

With a roar, Gobi charges hell for leather across the battlefield towards him, sparks flying up as his craghammer comes down.

Kia looks around apologetically. Not a little embarrassed at having fallen unconscious at such a critical moment.

"My thanks, as ever Reason."

Kia looks helplessly at her still stricken friends.

Unfortunately, Kia used her daily item power earlier in this battle, so she cannot use her brooch and the only other way she can grant an extra saving throw is if she hits something...

Kia stands up and moves onto the healing sand of the area

Reason, make a save old chap.

Whiteclaw stands up once more and takes a moment to just rest.

Arianwyn cannot help but smile grimly at the defeat of their nemesis. He claps Whiteclaw on the shoulder, and makes as if to say something, but leaves it at just a comradely gesture.

1d20 ⇒ 4 - Reason save v ongoing acid
1d20 ⇒ 11 - Seraphiel save v ongoing acid

Reason flinches as more acid eats into him, but the deva manages to quell the wounds.

Reason, take 7hp acid damage and make another save please. Until your cleric has established whether he's alive or dead, you can do little more. However ...

With a hiss, the necrotic aura surrounding the place of Kyleth's death subsides into the ground. Pirot, while keeping one concerned eye on Reason, nods to the area.

"Get the rod. I think I recognise it."

The eladrin nobleman walks over to the rod and picks it up, examining it intently. He takes it over to Pirot.

Intrigued, Kia walks over to see what Pirot has to say.

Reason will continue to maintain the Consecrated Ground until no one is bloodied.

He will also use Divine Fortune on his next save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
