There is two walls of webbing. One above her and one that seperates her from the group. She is only 20 feet away from you with only 20 feet of web between you.
If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover.
So Artemis is in the webs but not grappled. Frank and Joe charge into the webs hoping to get to her. Joe gets stuck in the webs but Frank is able to continue his charge. As Artemis gets a shot off hurting her before becoming fascinated.

Surprise Round
Jellena looks upon her with disdain, saying, "Mistress, we only serve the Mistress!" Quickly acting she expends a ki point and turns invisible.
She becomes visible next to Frank as she attacks the Naga as well.
Round 12
She expends another ki point going invisible again, then deftly tumbles to the side and then behind her, getting into flanking position with Frank.
Round 12
The paladin continues to be held fast by the ever-present web.
The cassissian angel struggles in vain as well.
"Joseph! Brace yourself!" The raven spoke in truespeak.
Brandon uses his fire-based breath weapon on the nearby webbing.
round until usable again.
Frank charges in and brutalizes her. The two skeletons seem to shift and look at Frank. Then the horror of what they are comes to light. As skeletons begin to shift out of the host into each adjacent square but some command is activated and they explode in necrotic blasts. It is a 30 foot blast so it affects Ryada, Artemis, and Joe as well. Jellena is on the fringe of it and can do a Reflex DC 18 first to see if she avoids the blast.
On the fried naga body you find a magical scroll case and some jewelry.
Brass rings, bracelets, and earrings; set with tiny red gems.
Stuck in the webs she shakes her head just enough to feel the wave of negative energy wash over her. She screams in pain and then is silent, hanging still in the webs as blood and bruises cover her body.
After Jellena's initial channel and healing hex she comes to. Really she just stays there waiting.
|
|
She is in the thick of it flanking the naga with Frank... Activating her dual nature she absorbs the negative energy and heals instead of taking damage. She thinks to herself, 'If only I could have done that for everyone!'
She then channels herself trying to negate some of the damage that was just poured over her allies. "Mistress, grant me the power to heal!"
As her whole team is stable at this moment she focuses on her ring and sees who needs healing most.
She would go to Ryada and anyone else that is not healing on their own and first do a healing hex.
Then she uses her 6 spells of cure light wounds.
Once that healing is done she begins to loot, not finding much on the naga, and even less on the rest she begins to try to clean the area using prestidigitation.
Joe watches as the draconic warlord ends the naga's life. Brandon caws that he is free when the massive wave of negative energy washes over both godling and celestial from the snake woman's evil trap.
A horrid wave of energy and a feeling of loss wash over the paladin. Weakened and in pain, Joe wretches his head toward where Brandon last was...only to see a sight no mortal should ever see. In place of a crow, the cracked remains of a black helm with singed and broke black wings on the side of the head. Tears flow from the godling's eyes.
Sobbing, Joe flails in vain to escape his web prison.
"Get me...out! BRANDON! SOMEONE HELP HIM! PLEASE!"
To add onto his despair, Joe senses a sound deep with him.
I leveled..too late.

She merely braces herself next to the book shelf for the coming storm and then the wave of gore.
Round 11
She stands up and goes to the rest of the group to stare with scrutiny at the woman who is now speaking to them. She channels to make sure all are healed.
2d6
She would have used the clear line to get to Ryada that Brandon had made. Easily scooping up the helmet and merely shaking her head. Still holding the helmet as she heals Ryada.
|
Frank takes 21 damage from the blast of negative energy. Jellena heals him for 3. As he hears Joe cry out he makes his way to Brandon freeing him and bringing him to Joe. He offers no words just extends his hand an places it on Joe's shoulder. He then takes note looking over to Artemis laying on the ground.
"Jellena is Artemis breathing? He doesn't seem to be breathing. I'm fine heal me last. I don't think any of us have fast healing."
He pulls away from Joe and roars and screams.
The liquid and gore from the giant creature seems to be draining into the floor. Some of the boards slightly move to make drains. As invisible forces begin to slowly clean up the mess, it will obviously take a long time but you can see obvious work done.
|
|
Once she is done helping Ryada she goes to Artemis to help mend his wounds with her healing magic, she tells Frank, "He is alive, just barely. It looks like our only loss was Brandon." With that said she focused on healing the group. Using up her channels and healing hexes she is able to max out everyone's HP. She has cure light spells still as they were not needed.
She identifies the scroll as being warded from magic and opening it she finds a map. Pointing it out to the group she sees lots of markings on it.
Eventually she finds her lightsaber.
Joe continues his struggle to get out of the web, frantic to go the body of his fallen friend!
"GET ME OUT! GET ME OUT! Brandon! Somebody get me out of this.. fu<king web!"
With Frank's help Joe gets free.
Artemis just groans, coughing a little and groaning from the ground as he curls up a little, as he loudly sighs, "F*ck... why... why did I think it was a good idea to stick close to the action..." he says, lifting his torso up and rubbing the back of his head, briefly stopping to look at his hand before continuing, "Such an idiotic move..."
Once Frank uses his mighty talons to free Joe, the paladin thanks the warlord in a weird tone. Joe then frantically looks around, searching for Brandon.
The holy warrior finds Jellena holding the celestial's cracked remains. "MAy i..pleAse?" Joe mutters, holding out his arms to Jellena.
Joe gives a small smile of thanks as Jellena carefully hands him Brandon's remain. Eyes watering once more, the paladin carefully walks over to the resting Ryada. Talking a little bit more loudly than normal, Joe enunciates, "Are you okay?!"
She nods but doesn't speak. You can tell there is a lot of thoughts going through her watching her face. Then she realizes what is in Joe's arms and hugs him, crying.
Crying, Ryada leads Joe and his grim cargo to follow Jellena.
Moving back to the core library with trepidation... you quietly move and find very few obstacles in your path. Most are easily avoided, unless you want to whack a zombie goblin or medium sized skeleton.
Either way you get to the Emerald room with ease.
master craft weapons of your choice
|
|
As the Night Hawks return to the Emerald room she keeps her eyes out looking for loot they had left behind.
She collected the jewelry and scrollcase from the naga. Then seeing coins and the shimering armor she gets them and puts them in the folds of her cloak. Grabbing the master craft weapons and if more than 2 hands them to the others.
|
|
Frank follows and uses his emerald to open the door.
[ooc}Not sure what weapon I want yet. I Will post later.[/ooc]
"I'm guessing we are resting a bit?" He looks down to Mjölnir in his hand.
"Jellena can you identify this? If it is Mjölnir I need to know what it can do. I should be able to throw and have it return. Possible even call it and have it fly to me. It should amplify my lighting possibly as well but as we are in a world based on RPG games I'm not sure what it can do."
He holds it out for her to examine.
|
|
She nods to Frank at his question. She goes to hold it, .
She looks upon the warhammer and all the runes upon it. Cautiously she touches it and relays, "This is Mjölnir. Apparently you are worthy. It is a legacy artifact. You will need to unlock it by doing quests and such. Right now it was completely open for your heroic show. Now it is just a +1 Warhammer. The next quest you must undertake is..."
After relaying the little she knows she looks at Frank, then Delman and back at Frank.
She points out, "Let's all rest and sleep. In the morning we can decide what are next steps will be."
Likely you take at least a night before you head out.
Despite his grief, Joe looks on at Mjölnir with wonder. I wonder if worthy? The paladin takes a handsome MW dagger as his weapon of choice.
After relaying the little she knows she looks at Frank, then Delman and back at Frank.

Joe carefully lays the remains of the cassassian angel next to him on the floor, then removes his aluminum armor.
"WhEn wE geT bacK tO tHe Temple, I'm goNNa reSearch thE pReferred methOd of pUTting tHe remaIns of a celeStial tO Rest", the holy warrior states matter-of-factly. Still feeling terrible about his role in all this, the adrenaline in his system drops, and Joe falls asleep despite himself.

She appears to have roused before anyone else. She was reading in her massive holy text. You wake up to a muted smell of breakfast burritos, as they are wrapped in a blanket. Opening the food maker you find your preferred coffee, one for each of us.
She puts the book to one side. Looks at Joe with a smile. Then pulls out the treasure map. "Yes there is a Cithaeron on the map. Here see." she says as she points it out."Lion you say? We might want to focus using lightning and acid on it."
Once everyone is awake and coherent, likely after breakfast and jo, she makes a suggestion, "We should stay here for about a week. We all have lots of research and training we need to do. I want to make sure the naga doesn't rear her ugly head again. Make sure the library is secure. Finally most importantly that we are all healthy and ready to fight again."
He didn't want to wake up. Too much to do. But Joe, Godling Paladin of The Mistress, didn't want to wake up. It took several minutes for then holy warrior to realize he could hear movement around him. That startled him into consciousness. His eyes focused are looked upon the sleeping shoulder of the elven bard, Ryada; hearing her sleep. Even unconscious, Ryada breathing was more lithe and agile. Joe then heard a different sound of another being breathing inbetween the paladin and bard. Joe looked down by his waist and smiled so hard the godling thought his face would split.
"B-Brandon!" There he was, just as The Mistress said, but the cassassian angel was in his black pug form. Joe shot upright and grabbed the small celestial and hugged him, scratching his back and belly like it was a real dog.
Joe looked around and saw Jellena and Frank were awake. The paladin held up the black pug. "Hey guys! The Mistress brought Brandon back!"

"Do we know how much of the library survived yet?" Joe asked both oracle and fellow paladin, Delman.

"Well I'm good for two lightning blasts a day. I need to kill the lion to awaken powers in Mjölnir. I'm wondering about Megingjörð? It's the belt of power Thor wielded to double his strength. It's what I asked the mistress for when we came here. It currently is enhancing my strength a bit like a strength belt. It let me harness lightning once in one of our fights. I wonder how to awaken more of its power? Jellena can you pray or commune on it maybe?" He then looks to Delman.
"Thanks man. I'm going to have a dip then." Frank strips down and heads over to the pool.
"I can spend a week here. Should we set the times to make it only a few hours on the outside?" Joe calls out excited.
"Awesome Joe. Dogs are awesome. If I could look like a celestial I would choose Hound Archon. I really dig some of the art on them from our books back in our old world."

Joe looked around and saw Jellena and Frank were awake. The paladin held up the black pug. "Hey guys! The Mistress brought Brandon back!"
She just smiles at Joe.
"Do we know how much of the library survived yet?" Joe asked both oracle and fellow paladin, Delman.
She looks doubtful and offers, "That is one of the points I want to look into first. I know that the library can repair itself, I just don't know how much."
She looks up to Frank with the doubt quickly leaving her face, positively she says, "Sure, let me look at ole... Megingjörð." She has trouble saying it. Once done analyzing it she offers, "I can keep researching it too."
Megingjörð Only researching for 2 hours a day.

She spends most of the first day researching the library and getting the time fixed. The second day she lets in the servants and Castria into the library.
On the third night at dinner she offer to the group, "It looks like everything is repairing. Any books damaged in the fight have been appearing on the shelves where they should have been before the fight. Thus no knowledge was technically lost."
* After the busy morning of the first day, the paladin was cleaning his magical sword. "Excalibur, how have you been? Looks like inbetween helping Jellena research topic about the library, we can concentrate on some sword drills or any other regiment we'd like to try."
* During the week, Joe asks Delman and Jellena to sit down with them so he can tell them the tale of the dream he had in The Seelie Court and all the details he found out in the dream about both the oracle Jedi and the paladin warlock.

* On the third night, Joe launches himself up from his seat, arms in the air! "YAAAAHOO! No knowledge lost! Thank you, Mistress!!"
* When his confidence returned, he walked up to Frank and asked, "Frank, may I see if I can lift Mjölnir?"
* The godling paladin had some time to talk privately with the elven bard. "How are you feeling Ryada? You looked really stressed after the naga fight and I wanted to see how you were. Is there anything you want to talk about. I'm here if you do."
* Joe also asks the same thing of his paladin brother, Delman. "How are you feeling, Delman? I'm sorry you had to go it alone for so long. We sure have grown so much from when we came to Arcanium. Me, unknowingly trying to kill your cat", Joe chuckled at the confrontation.

And do you remember that the Night Hawks left to guard and supply The Library a week ago, game time. And that the Adventure's Ball was to start in one week. So we missed the ball, and our chance as an adventuring party to go up in rank, because the Night Hawks researched and secured the Library after the attack. Something I came across while researching the Fey Dream.
