Seeming to have cleared out the yeti caves, you work your back to the main causeway through this necropolis. Ahead a wide cavern soars into darkness overhead. A deep crevasse plummets to one side while to the other a broad switchback road climbs to a distant tunnel mouth. In the center of the cavern, skull-topped columns surround an octagonal dais. Age-worn steps lead to the top of the dais, where a stone seat rests between the tusks of a bull mastodon skull, a Tian-style banner draped over the top like a canopy.
Inhabiting the chamber is a yeti chieftain along with two of his yeti consorts. The yetis howl and ready to defend their territory.
Jennix knits his brows, studying the chieftain. "Something seems off..."
Zack activates his magical gloves in anticipation of a fight.
Zachary casts a spell as the yeti chieftain casts his own.
The other yetis move up with surprising speed and bite!
Miso feels the yeti maw tear into his skin, and though he mostly ignores the cold it still affects him slightly. He activates Dragon Style (swift) and flurries on Red, using Stunning Fist on the first attack!
Jennix grimaces as he is hit, then calling on his luck, begins attacking with katana and dagger.
Jennix and Miso discover that these yetis are quite easy to hit but your scratches and bruises don't seem to be fazing them overmuch.
red: 23 dmg
blue: 38 dmg
"The yeti chief is possessed! Be wary!" Terflynn warns as he steps back to cast a spell.
Zack takes a step back and unleashes a hail of arrows into the yeti in front of him.
Terflynn blasts the two yeti warriors with a ball of fire and then Zachary finishes one of them off. The other hastily goes after Miso!
The yeti chieftain in the back commands you all, "Cease! Begone!"
red: 44 dmg
Terflynn runs away!
-Posted with Wayfinder
Jennix sees Terflynn running, and follows after him!
Miso joins his fleeing companions!
As Miso runs away, the yeti bites at his heels!
"Wait for me!" Zack yells before joining his fleeing companions.
The yeti chieftain lets out a cold and terrible laugh. "Running away? Again?"
The yeti warrior hurls a pair of spears at Miso!
In the background the chieftain has begun casting a long and complicated spell as the roof of the cavern turns dark....
red: 44 dmg
The ranger regains his composure and renews his assault on the nearest yeti.
Terflynn comes to his senses, regaining control of his muscles and impulses. "That's enough of that." the elf says coldly, projecting a bead of fire towards the possessed yeti to interrupt his spellcasting.
Zachary's first pair of arrows digs into the yeti but it dodges the other two shots.
Terflynn then uses a blast of flame to distract the chieftain from completing his spell!
red: 83 dmg
bor: 46 dmg
Jennix darts forward and slashes at the yeti.
The yeti snaps at Jennix as the ninjarchaeologist moves in, but Jennix's blade slashes at the monster's midsection and leaves it nearly collapsing to its knees!
red: 99 dmg
bor: 46 dmg
Miso, angry at the fear effect, wheels about and charges Red!
Miso charges in and knocks down the warrior yeti! The remaining caster yeti begins another longer spell....
bor: 46 dmg
Zack moves closer and sends one well aimed arrow at the creature.
"He's calling a monster from another plane!"
Once again his spellcasting is interrupted, this time by an arrow from Zachary!
bor: 59 dmg
Miso double moves into the cave.
Jennix hustles into the cavern, following Miso.
Terflynn also moves forward.
Everyone runs back into the cavern after being frightened away! The yeti chieftain advances towards the center and casts another spell.
bor: 59 dmg
"Be careful, it has prepared for battle! Let it come to us!"
Terflynn moves forward and casts a spell on the creature to turn luck away from it.
Seeing the yeti go back to casting shorter spells, Zack reverts to peppering his enemy with numerous arrows.
Terflynn brings ill luck upon the yeti chieftain as Zachary puts one arrow into it!
bor: 75 dmg, two 2d20
Miso looks at Jennix. That way! he says, indicating toward the raised platform. Use the obstacle to our advantage!
Once Jennix moves, Miso will head the other way in an effort to catch the chieftain in a flanking position between he and the ninjarcheologist.
"Be careful, it has prepared for battle! Let it come to us!"
The yeti approaches Miso and claws at him!
bor: 75 dmg, one 2d20
Terflynn casts a spell on the Yeti to pull the breath from its lungs.
He then draws a pearl from his pack.
The yeti laughs at Terflynn's attempt! "I believe I stopped the breath of that one rather quickly the last time we met," the yeti says, motioning to Jennix.
The yeti's taunting is cut short as the breath is sucked from his lungs!
Jennix looks up startled by the yeti's words. "Before.....? Wait, what? Are you the ghost of the woman from the tower?" Jennix says as realization begins to dawn him. Following Miso's directions, Jennix moves up the platform and into flanking position, as he turns invisible along the way.
Zack looses another volley of arrows form the corridor.
