Arrg!
oops.....

The....uh...hallway...mysteriously lengthens 5 feet, yeah, that's the ticket......

you're there now, at the new I 10, Macauley Culkin. I counted 8; one was Azulzu, duuh....

Believe me, I understand. I was not worried either way.

This seems to be a good time to try a new trick - Energy Body!

With visible effort, Larissa's form changes. Still vaguely shaped like the young woman she is, she seems to be made up of golden-white flames when the transformation is complete. Once her change is complete, she moves to I11.

A summary of the ability, details in the spoiler below: It doesn't appear that this action provokes an attack of opportunity. Her form increases the light levels by one step within 10' of her location, up to normal light. Any undead creature striking her with a natural attack or a handheld weapon deals normal damage to her, but also takes 1d6 + 2 points of positive energy damage. Similarly, she can deal this damage to undead with a natural weapon in place of the normal damage for the attack in question.

Woah. That's cool.

Woah. That's cool.

:D I have this image of a female Human Torch, "Flame on!"

Frankie Raye, Herald of Galactus....

Oh, dear. If word of this gets back to the orphanage, I'm in so much trouble. Rholf! Not a word to Mother Superior!

10 HP remaining. Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Alinya screws her face up in disgust as the ectoplasmic slime splashes across her glasses, then takes a determined breath. Quick triage, who's hurt? Umm everyone! But not too badly. Also Larissa is, like, totally awesome! OK, let's help the fighters.

"Pharasma's blessing on our blades." Cast bless. +1 attack for all.

Hmm. I wonder what these things are. Ghosts of some sort, but what.... Kn(Religion): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16.

They're not quite ghosts, not quite ethereal.....they're......ectoplasmic creatures.....

Rholf, Nigel, Azulzu, and Wod up to bat.

I guess I should make the attempt even though she's no scholar...

Knowledge (Religion) check 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Nothing really much to them; they're scary, and they cut get better than they get bashed, like zombies I suppose.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"You filth shan't have your way with us!"

sorry; just channelling Nick Logue a little....

"Fascinating. NOT a true fully-ethereal spectre, or 'ghost', A full-torso apparition. Semi-corporeal,... They slimed you,..." Edwin peers at the goop on Myron, and grins.

"Of course! Their ectoplasmic bodies absorb the trauma of blunt-force weapons. But a cutting implement pierces the containment vessel, allowing the ectoplasm to be liberated, and dispelling the apparition!"

Edwin rolls his eyes at his companions response, or noted lack of.

"Use your blades! They don't smash, but they can be cut fairly easily!" He recaps.

Nigel will 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Azulzu: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Despite the ectoplasmic sliming, Nigel and Azulzu manage to regain their composure

"At them Azulzu!" On M12

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Azulzu's pointy teeth take a bite outta slime ..

Meanwhile, Nigel summons his faithful celestial hound

"Fidelus! Aid me!"

map linky for the new page

A dire celestial boston terrier appears; snorting and spitting, as Azulzu rips two arms out of the wall and the ectoman dies in a puddle of goo.

M12 down......and I guess Wod is up to bat.....and Rholf saved; and can attack.

Wod needs to save: 1d20 ⇒ 2

"Erk, slime, ugh, cold, yuck!" says Wod.

"Now I chop slimy man!" [ooc]Attack the ghost in H11 I guess. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 or so, including shaken condition. Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 12

Wod misses; the slime makes him frightened.....and clumsy...

Rholf!!!

Since I can't remember whether or not I had it drawn...

Rholf draws his scimitar, slashing at the baddie next to him L 10

Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Rholf wounds his foe, and it damages the ectomorph.....but doesn't fall.

Now their go.

Wod attacked twice; hit once; he takes 4 h.p.

Nigel is attacked from the wall. The summoner is missed.

Azulzu is attacked twice as well.....and missed.

Castiel is hit once; 3 h.p. damage.

Rholf is missed;

Myron is hit.....7 h.p.

Group's attack;.....

MAP!

Edwin gratefully hides behind the bulk of the summoned Alzuzu. With no target in immediate range of his blade, he settles into a guard position, and observes,...

Per: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

At the end of Larissa's last turn, she moved to I11. Unless she can't, of course.

The 'flaming' Larissa lashes out with her claws at the ectoplasmic apparition in J11. In the unlikely event that her first claw destroys the creature, she will turn to claw the creature in H11 with the second attack.

Attack #1 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14, which includes a flanking bonus for attacks against J11
Damage #1 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8, which does not include her bonus to melee damage, so if it applies here, that's another +1

Attack #2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18, which includes a flanking bonus for attacks against J11
Damage #2 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, with the same question on damage bonus as above

Edwin gratefully hides behind the bulk of the summoned Alzuzu. With no target in immediate range of his blade, he settles into a guard position, and observes,...

Per: 1d20+8

Nothing too interesting,....

You can attack the one "in the door" at O10; he's clawing and biting Myron.

Damage #2 1d6 + 2, with the same question on damage bonus as above

I reckon the damage bonus applies,.....

and she drops both of them.

Rholf channels positive energy to heal the group.

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Right on...It works, if there was any doubt.

Castiel grits his teeth as the ecto-shank finds a gap in his plate armour, before returning the attack, slicing at the long dead prisoner with his longsword.

Attacking the one in L10, flanking with Rholf I think. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Castiel beheads the wounded ectoplasman.....that Rholf allready wounded.

Huzzah!!!

Edwin, Nigel, Wod, Alinya, and Myron up to bat.....

Alinya follows Rholf's lead, "Excellent idea there, Rholf, just the thing to do."

Channel healing energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1.

Sigh

You can attack the one "in the door" at O10; he's clawing and biting Myron.

"Ah-HAH!" Edwin cries, leaning out from behind Alzuzu and slicing at the apparition threatening Myron.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 ⇒ 1

"Hm. Not as good an opening as I had first believed." He mutters apologetically to Myron.

In a voice that crackles with energy and yet still sounds like Larissa, you hear, "If you are wounded, come to me. I can help one or two."

When she is in this form, she can heal someone that she shares a space with once per round - either she needs to move through an ally's square or they need to move through hers.

"Ugh! That stung a bit." Undeterred, Myron slashes at the ectoid that wounded him.

Attack roll 12+3+1(bless)=AC 16, damage 9+1+1(bless)=11.

Sigh

I know the feeling....

1d20+3; 1d6

"Hm. Not as good an opening as I had first believed." He mutters apologetically to Myron.

Well, he did hit this time...

"Ugh! That stung a bit." Undeterred, Myron slashes at the ectoid that wounded him.

Attack roll 12+3+1(bless)=AC 16, damage 9+1+1(bless)=11.

And Myron hacks it out of the wall. For the briefest of moments, he can see through the ecto man into the room beyond; it's full of shelves piled with stuff. And chests.

Nigel; Wod......

Wod hacks at the gooey ghost man in the door. Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15; damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

Nigel points to the ectoplasmic horror hear him J9

"Fidelus! Attack!"

The celestial Boston Terrier growls and leaps, golden sparkle dust jetting from his nethers

Bite/trip attempt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Meanwhile, Azulzu lumbers over to the nearest foe K11?

Claw/Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Hi ho; computer's acting wanky; I gotta treat my computer or something, treat malware, my computer needs a trojan condom or whatever; I'll see you guys when I see you. Just on long enough to say I might or might not be on soon......

whelp....got rid of some trojan, and now apparently can connect to the interwebz.......let me get my crap together and post something soon.....

Wod hacks at the gooey ghost man in the door. Attack: 1d20+6+1; damage: 1d12+7+1

Wod kills his foe; he chops the door up some as well, and it gushes the creatures' necrotic aqua vitae out.

Nigel points to the ectoplasmic horror hear him J9

"Fidelus! Attack!"

The celestial Boston Terrier growls and leaps, golden sparkle dust jetting from his nethers

Bite/trip attempt: 1d20+5;1d6+3;1d20+3

Meanwhile, Azulzu lumbers over to the nearest foe K11?

Claw/Claw: 1d20 + 5;1d20 + 5;1d4 + 3;1d4 + 3

Fidelus misses;

the eidolon takes down L11 I guess? or k 12? just one falls....
onnyhoo.....their attack;

Nigel is attacked from the wall; missed;.....

Rholf is also missed, and

Azulzu, attacked from the wall (I'm guessing he took out L11)

Azulzu is hit for 6 h.p. in damage;

group's attack!....

MAP!!!

Attacking the guy in M9. Attack roll 10+3+1(bless)=AC 14, damage 7+1+1(bless)=9.
