Chakos moves inside to Liz's side.
He will detect evil around the room.
Astra's slap leaves a red mark on Liz's cheek, but doesn't wake the sleeping wizard.
"This room is clear of evil auras my friends."
"Elizabeth's sleep is magical...we can't wake her through normal means. Do you have any dispelling magic, Ibuki?"
Chakos looks to Astra, "what can we do?"
Nah ma! I don't wanna muck out the flesh golems..z....
I can always try...
Ibuki stands close to Liz and begins whispering arcane phrases, tracing complicated patterns in the air with his fingers.
Ibuki's magic surrounds Liz freeing her from the spell.
My hero!
Syvlara was pleased to see Ibuki's magic restore Liz to normal. Once again, magic managed to save a life. Syvlara never cared for that realm before, but each of her magical allies would demonstrate such power and utility at the snap of their fingers. While Syvlara was focused on the mastery of the bow, still she pondered the unknown depths of magic.
Snapping out of it, Syvlara noticed that it was time to move on. She spotted two different sets of stairs, but did not see any indicators as to where they would lead.
"Hold for just a moment, I'll get us some more information." Syvlara says as she starts creeping slowly up the north stairs, making sure her presence would not alert anything.
She sees no other creatures as she climbs up the stairs. You see another set of stairs heading upwards. There are three doors, one to the northeast, and two doors to the south and south west. The layout of this floor seems different and you cannot hear anything from the rooms.
Syvlara will report this to the others, then take a peek at the southern stairs this time.
"The north stairs have three doors, but nothing else. I'll check the south stairs now."
With no Uriah, the Life Link is on everyone.
Astra waits patiently while Syvlara scouts.
Liz waits as well
You see several more doors, some are slightly ajar, but you can't hear any noise coming from any of the similar doors. You also find what you believe to be two of the doors that you saw from the other side.
Syvlara disappears again, scouting up the other set of stairs.
"All clear!" Yells Syvlara down the stairs.
Liz will head up with the others.
The party climbs up the southern set of stairs and reaches the next floor of the tower.
You see several doors, some of which are ajar, though no sound comes out of the rooms.
Detect evil through the doors please.
Chakos senses evil through some of the doors (the southern doors and eastern ones).
"There is something evil in those two rooms there," whispered Chakos as he pointed at the doors to the south and east.
Then Chakos up front with his awesome paladin powers!
Chakos casts bless and moves forward with his axe at the ready.
"Shall we form up in fireball formation?"
Fireball formation? I never heard that term....
Thank you for reminding me
Liz casts Resist Fire=Communal on everyone for 16 minutes of protection.(20 points)
We can't dilly dally.
Astra checks that her three main weapons -- the adamantine sword, the electricity rod and the emp pistol -- are all easily within reach. She holds her shield in her off hand, and chooses the pistol for her main hand. "Ready."
Chakos moves on through the southern door.
Entering the room, Chakos sees a tiny ghost-like creature manipulating the metal gear debris scattered in the room.
The room itself looks like a bedroom, stripped of any fabrics, blankets, clothing and other adornments. There is a bed, table and dresser, but they are empty.
"Ibuki? You want to talk to this?"
We can always try...
Ibuki steps into the room, greeting the creature:
Hello there! Are you a minion of Xurkas Fur or are you free?
Syvlara keeps her bow ready. "I'll bet a gold piece that it is about to attack us."
The tiny creature begins to wail echoing and followed by more wailing in the other rooms. Sharp bits of metal rise up from around the ghost fly towards Chakos at alarming speed.
Another tiny ghost moves beside Astra and hurls sharp points of metal at her. The bits of metal fly past and around both Astra and Chakos.
1. Ghosts
2. Everyone
I will take a 5' step if needed to attack the one in Astra twice. Power Attacking. Everyone remember we have bless up.
DMG to me
DMG to me
I'm betting the first one hit, so I take 5 dmg.
HP 47/53
AC 16/16/15
Effects:
Hand of Apprentice:7/7,Mage Armor(+4 ac),Resist Energy-Communal(20 points) 16 minutes
Liz moves and holds to see if Chakos and Astra can finish off the ghost before she casts a spell.
Liz is down 6Hp? How did I miss that?
The Life Link will move 5HP of damage from her to Chakos, so Chakos is down 10 and Liz is down 1.
Ibuki sighs.
Sometimes, life feels pointless...
He points at the nearest creature and mumbles something as two rays of fire unleash.
Astra tries to identify the creature.
She switches from her pistol to her ghost touch sword.
Fiery rays pierce the tiny ghost creature, melting metal gears and debris on the ghost. It screams and its moan echoes in the room and hallway.
Two more of the tiny ghosts appear from the cracked open doors to the east. One of them hurls several spiky metal bits from the the ground at Astra.
The red gearghost hurls metal at Astra (provokes opportunity attacks) while the blue gearghost moves back and throws metal at Chakos.
Chakos - 25
Liz - 1
Astra - 20
The Life Link pulses:
Chakos - 30
Liz - 1
Astra - 15
Chakos will LOH on himself.
On me if no mercies needed
Chakos - 12
Liz - 1
Astra - 15
Chakos will 5' step and start whipping up on the blue one. Power attacking.
DMG to me
DMG to me
Probably my second missed, so current damage is:
Chakos - 17
Liz - 1
Astra - 15
Syvlara grimaced. "I never get enough room in these places"
She sheathed her bow within her efficient quiver, then attempted to dodge around to get behind Chakos, drawing her spear along the way.
