GM Ladile's League of Kick-Ass Dudes: A Pathfinder Society Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

Lazarus wanders up behind Quang Chi and begins to scan for magical auras...and yes, there are magical auras present here! It looks, like...two or three, all of roughly the same strength. But...wait? That can't be right.

The auras seem to be coming from the ceiling? There's nothing up there but shadows and cobwebs.

Or is there?

Suddenly, movement from two different directions catches the eye of both Lazarus and Quang Chi. First, from the wall to the south near where Frankie and Serge stand two small pinpoints of light - eyes - materialize. And second, up on the ceiling, the pair spot a heavily-armored, deathly pale woman with long, pointed ears...who gazes directly down at the group, a wicked smile exposing a pair of sharp fangs!

The pinpoints of light emerge from the southern wall, hovering amidst a wispy mass of smoke and shadow. It swiftly rises into the air, staring down at Frankie and Serge with unmistakable malevolence...

"Hmm?" Meredith looks about. "What the hell..."

"No, I see nothing," Quang Chi quietly replies to Lazarus' query. "One moment... what is that there?" he asks pointing with his bow arm to the southern wall.

"And there?!" his voice rising in warning as he gestures to the ceiling.

"Lazarus, what are they?"

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Oberon points to the wall to the south. "Francis, Serge, watch out! The pinpoint eyes are a wraith, an incorporeal undead creature born of evil and darkness. They hate light and living things, as they have lost much of their connection to their former lives." (Special Attacks and Special Defenses, please)

"I'm not sure what that fanged and heavily-armored, deathly pale woman with long, pointed ears is," he says, pointing to the ceiling.

The wizard pulls a piece of parchment with a holy text written on it from his spell component pouch and casts a spell. A shimmering, magical field, a shield of faith appears around the samsaran that averts and deflects attacks.

Then Oberon flicks his wrist, releasing his wand of magic missile into his hand.

"Ahh, those are GREAT hiding spots! Looks like we found the other team finally!" Frankie calls out as the hiders are pointed out.

Oberon? Is Lazarus channeling a past life? :)

As Lazarus recalls what he knows of the fell creatures before him he gets flashes of another life, another time. A past life or maybe a glimpse of a life not yet lived? But that's a question for later as now is the time for action!

The samsaran recalls that wraiths have the frightening ability to not only harness negative energy with their touch but can also drain away a foe's vitality with that same touch, sometimes even to the point of death, bolstering themselves in the process. He's also certain that wraiths do not possess any extraordinary defenses such as regeneration or fast healing.

Lazarus then quickly conjures a magical shield, powered by his faith in the Starsong, and flicks his wrist to draw his trusty and well-worn wand.

Then...as if one wraith wasn't enough a second wraith, having gone unobserved altogether, emerges from the northern wall and takes to the air as well! Meanwhile, up on the ceiling, the pale woman continues to smile down at the lot of you.

"Mmm, it has been an age since we've had visitors here...and so many! You simply must stay for dinner," she purrs. Then, more loudly, she calls out, "Come, my love! I have guests for you to entertain!"

She then scuttles across the ceiling to the rear of the chamber and begins to descend the wall, though she isn't able to completely descend it in one go.

"Hey Jan, time to use that fancy longsword." She sneers at the elf. "Denair and I are gonna distract the elf."

The risen dead, as we suspected we might face. 'My love,' she said. Who does she mean? Who is she? Questions for another time, though.

Quang Chi finishes his quick musings by drawing forth the image of a charging bull to boost his strength. He quietly chants a prayer in Tien, and his bow glows brightly for an instant.

Secondary animal aspect Bull as a swift action for +2 STR. Casts gravity bow as a standard action.

Though curious about the pale woman and the 'love' that she calls for, Quang Chi pushes the curiosity aside. Calling upon the powers of nature and that of his god, he prepares for what could very well be the fight of his life...

Optional Battle Music *A bit loud, lower your volume first.

Jan wonders what all the commotion is about and hurries to see what everyone is so exited about.

With arcane sword in hand Jan moves forward to confront the evil. Stopping at the top of the stairs he calls upon Gozreh to give him divine protection.

"Gozreh protect me against these creatures of darkness!"

Casting Protection from Evil.

Perhaps Jan has heard of these creatures.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Having no idea what these creatures are... but trusting that Laz will know what to do Jan prepares to enter the room and fight!

Serge takes out an oil of bless weapon, and pours it all over his blade. "Unholy beings, what still binds you to this plane? We will see to it that you are released."

*edit* Almost forgot FF AC again, derp.

Both Jan and Serge gird their loins and weapons for battle, ready to put their undead foes to rest for good. And perhaps to Serge's surprise, Blue actually answers him and his challenge!

"W͠e s͡erve ̨ou҉r mi͜s̛t̨ŕe҉ss͡,̛ even in d̵e͠at͝h.̀.͢.͞" it hisses as it descends from the ceiling towards the nearest living target...Frankie. "Ar̵e͢ ͠yo̕u ̶r͢ea̷d̵y͘ fo͘r d̛ea̶th,̀ ̶c͡hi͏ld͜? ̡Joi͢n u͏ss̛s..̵.̨." the wraith intones as it reaches out a wispy, spectral hand...

Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Frankie, please make a DC 17 Fort or take 1d6 ⇒ 2 Con drain.

...and it's cold, very cold, as it passes right through Frankie's armor and touches his shoulder!

Optional Battle Music

Using his holy symbol tattoo as a divine focus, Lazarus casts a spell, and a brilliant, flashing 10'-radius burst of radiance erupts around the fanged elf woman clinging to the west wall of the crypt.
DC16 Reflex or Blinded for: 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds. If successful, Dazzled for: 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds.
Damage vs Evil Creatures, No Save; SR Yes: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) = 9

Banking on Jan and the others to handle the wraiths for the moment Lazarus focuses his attention on the fanged elf crawling down the western wall, conjuring a burst of radiance in her face!

Though she's able to fling up her arm and avoid being blinded, a slight sizzling sound is heard and faint trails of smoke waft off of her form as the magic otherwise does its job.

"Aiee! Rude. You should give a warning before turning on the lights," the elf hisses, blinking rapidly as she's left momentarily dazzled.

And then much as expected, Green Wraith also presses the attack as it swoops down on Quang Chi with a shriek and reaches out to claw at his face with a wispy, clawed hand...

Incorporeal Touch vs. Quang Chi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

...and misses!

Ouch, DRAIN not damage... poor Frankie.

"You think your so sly... you're fighting the reigning 'tag you're it!' champion for three straight summers! HA!" He shouts as he ducks the lame attempt at a tag. Touch AC is still 15

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A rogue with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.

Is Meredith's Spider Climb still active? She cast it in this post.

Meredith casts Shield on herself and begins to climb up the wall. "Denair, get over there to that creepy lady in the back. I'll be right over."

Reminder: Denair's Mage Armor and Meredith's Shield is force based, so it protects them against incorporeal badtouches.

"Uh... I'll hit the creepy lady with the red eyes." Denair takes flight and tries to fly past the Blue ghost.

I'm assuming Denair has enough room to fly over it, provoking an AoO in the process. She will fly until she's 10 feet up so she can hit the elven lady.

Power Attack Slam: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
Power Attack Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 6 = 18

Denair swings wide!

Time is a funny thing and ever since the group's (sans Quang Chi) adventure in Uringen, oddities in the timestream occasionally rear their head. Frankie, certain that death had come for him as the wraith touched his shoulder, blinks...and then the wraith is reaching for him again and this time he's ready and manages to duck out of the way!

While Meredith conjures a magical shield for herself and ponders how best to approach the Lady in Red, Denair simply goes for it, flying up and over the Green Wraith. She zips in close and swings at the woman, but misses by what feels like a country mile!

Meredith grumbles and moves up behind Jan. "Need to renew Spider Climb."

Seeing that Quang Chi is blocking his advance he will call out for the monk to move backwards.

"Whatcha going to do with that bow right up there in that spirits face!?! Move back so I can get sword stuck into it!"

While Meredith advances and Jan hollers for Quang Chi to move once he's able, the Lady in Red glances over at Denair with a look of irritation on her face.

"You buzz about like a fly! Don't you know what happens to buzzing flies?"

Still clinging to the wall with her feet and one hand, the Lady in Red lunges forward and swipes a clawed hand at Denair...

Slam vs. Denair (Dazzled): 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 1 = 30
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

...and wallops the eidolon across the face!

"They get swatted!"

The actual physical blow doesn't even hurt that badly but it also feels as though the woman's touch is attempting to sap Denair's energy!

Denair, please make a DC 16 Fort or take 2 negative levels.

She then proceeds to continue her descent down the wall, seemingly uncaring that it leaves her vulnerable to a return swipe from the eidolon, and moves towards the group. Those of you with particularly sharp eyes even notice that some of the damage she'd taken from Lazarus' spell seems to be slowly repairing itself...

Denair may take an AoO against Red as she descends.

Serge looks from behind Frankie, a dour look on his face as the wraith looms above the child. "Frankie, could you step aside? That creature is going to hurt you!"

"Ow. Stings."

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Denair feels kinda drowsy for a moment but quickly revitalizes herself and shakes it off. "H-hey! Where are you going?"

Power Attack Slam: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 = 13
Power Attack Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 6 = 18

Denair grumbles as the creepy elf ignores her entirely. "Booosss!"

The pale fingers pass Quang Chi's face as he pulls his head back just enough to avoid them.

At Jan's urging, the quiet monk moves to give him room to get into the fight. But with Laz blocking the way, he surprisingly takes a half step forward rather than back!

Seemingly unconcerned about the possibility of a retaliating strike, he takes a deep focusing breath. As he lets it out his hands become a blur and four arrows leap from his quiver in rapid succession.

Attack, Flurry, PBS: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 15

Attack, Flurry, PBS: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 14

Attack, Flurry, ki point, PBS: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 1 = 27
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 15

Attack, Flurry, PBS: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 15

+1 magic bow with other enhancements.

Thanks to Point Blank Master, he doesn't provoke. But not sure if you want to apply a penalty for squeezing once Jan moves in since he's in one of those 1/2-square spaces.

If perchance he shredded the critter and has shots left over, he retargets to Blue.

Frankie nods to Serge and smiles at the same time. "He doesn't stand a chance... not against... THE FLASH!" And in an instant Frankie tumbles underneath the whispy blue wraith and draws out his trusty (and newly magical!) mithril dagger and tries to swipe at the creature. Using the blade to try to keep it at bay while he does. It appears his dagger work has fallen behind his acrobatics though.

Acrobatics: Move Through Space: CMD+5?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Melee +1 Mithril Dagger, Defensively (+5AC): 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 4 = 61d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

AC is 26, Touch of 20 for the round.

Serge whispers a prayer as he advances on the wraith, his eyes flickering with flames of vengeance. "You... are already dead."

Greatsword, PA, FF, BW: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 122d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 4) + 12 = 20 Yay.

I mean technically, they are.

Jan moves up and swings at the wraith unless the bow-wielding monk has already sent his troubled soul into oblivion.

Move and Squeeze.

Attack with Longsword: 1d20 + 9 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 3 - 4 = 23 * assuming sword is standard +1 undead bane.
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + (6, 4) = 18

"Back to the PITS you go SHADE!"

With nowhere to go but forward Quang Chi steps forward slightly; he has just enough time to fire off a volley of arrows into Green's face (sorta) before Jan moves forward and forces him to flatten - a bit uncomfortably - against the wall. Green wails with pain and anger as all four arrows rip through its' shadowy essence, leaving large tears! Jan adds insult to injury as he slashes at Green with Due Diligence, cleaving another large slash in the wraith's incorporeal form. Though neither of the men's attacks seem to injure the wraith as much as they might have injured a creature with more substance, Green still looks to be in pretty sorry shape.

"Mistre͟ss!̛ ̸ He͞ ̢c̛arr͘i͞eś ýour ̛l͏o̴v̛e̴r̛'͜s ͡swo͘rd!҉" Green shrieks as he shrinks away from the Ulfen.

You hit either way but Jan doesn't have to squeeze while he's in Quang Chi's former space; also moved Jan forward accordingly.

On the southern side of the room, things are at more of a stalemate; Frankie has little trouble tucking and rolling past Blue and into a more favorable attack position but isn't able to connect with his newly-magical dagger. Serge fares no better as he steps forward to help Frankie, his greatsword cutting nothing but the empty air.

As if perhaps sensing the holy power residing within Serge, Blue Wraith turns its attention to him as it reaches forward...

Incorporeal Touch vs. Serge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

...and attempts to sap him of his vitality!

Serge, please make a DC 17 Fort or take 1d6 ⇒ 2 points of Con Drain.

And then, the wraith takes a 'step' and melds back into the wall!

Blue now has Total Cover.

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Serge focuses his strength just as the specter comes at him, and he avoids the worst of the attack. "Not a chance, undead! Many fall in the face of chaos. But not this one, and not today."

Drawing another wand, Lazarus casts bless on the party.

Frankie watches the ghostie move into the wall and stomps his feet "Now THAT'S CHEATING!" He does look a bit impressed, and jealous.

Serge shrugs off the wraith's attempted drain attack with a lot of righteous indignation and disdain, while Frankie lets everyone know just what he thinks of these stupid meld-into-the-wall shenanigans. Ever the group backbone, Lazarus remains where he is and pulls out another wand, granting the entire group a small blessing to aid them.

Green Wraith didn't particularly enjoy being arrowed or sliced with that damnable sword and so reaches out to touch...

Clockwise from top~
1d2 ⇒ 2
Incorporeal Touch vs. Jan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

...Jan, but fails and fails miserably. And just like its friend, Green then 'steps' into the nearby wall and out of sight.

"I'm coming, Denair." Meredith double moves around the corner up to the creepy elf, her magic silver mace in hand. "I got her left. You get her right."

Meredith's movement provokes from Green Wraith IF it can see through the walls it merged into.

Denair nods as Meredith approaches. "Okay, line up. We flanked her, right?"

Power Attack Slam, Flank, Bless: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 23
Power Attack Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19
Precise Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 4

As Meredith hurries forward to help Denair, she passes by the section of wall that Green Wraith melded into...

Total Concealment (50%; Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 83
Incorporeal Touch vs. Meredith: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Think that's a hit, even with Shield up.
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

...and a shadowy hand swipes at her as she goes by, managing to catch her arm in spite of the wall!

Meredith, make a DC 17 Fort or take 1d6 ⇒ 6 Con Drain.

Still, she moves into position at just the right time and Denair is able to whip around and give the creepy elf a real good wallop! And yet...as powerful as it was, Denair's strike doesn't seem to do nearly as much damage as she'd expected. She hisses angrily, but barely spares a glance at either Meredith or Denair. No, her gaze seems to be focused on Quang Chi as well as Jan.

"You're a fine shot...but what will you do when your foe comes for you?"

Quick a flash, she draws what looks to be a katana and springs past Meredith and Denair - though it leaves her open to attack she moves with unnatural dexterity and speed. (Meredith & Denair may both take an AoO against her as she moves away.) Her target is clearly Quang Chi and so sudden is her attack that he has no time to even try and fire off a shot before she's there in front of him, katana slicing through the air...

Red Lady vs. Quang Chi (Katana; Dazzled, SA): 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

This attack doesn't provoke from Quang Chi.

...leaving the archer noticeably wounded. As her own injuries continue to mend of their accord, she shoots a wicked smile at Jan.

"It isn't nice to take things that don't belong to you! Even if he has no use for it now, in his new form. You'll see...he'll be here soon..."

Jan attacks with sword and shield.

"Goreh... Lord of Seasons... grant me strength!"

Attack with shield: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Attack with sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

"HEY! No one slices up my new friend like that in front of the FLASH and gets away with it!" Frankie deftly crab shuffles to his left and flanks with Jan so he can try to give this woman a solid stab to the back.

Melee +1 Mithril Dagger, Flanking, Defensively (+5AC), Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 - 4 + 1 = 141d3 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (4, 3) = 15

AC 26, Touch 20.

The katana slices into Quang Chi's side, and he grunts in pain. Realizing his positioning in untennable, he decides to try something different.

He aims for her center of mass, intending to push her back and then step into her space to finish his attack.

Attack, Flurry, PBS, Squeezed, Perfect Shot, Bull Rush: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 = 12
Attack, Flurry, PBS, Squeezed, Perfect Shot, Bull Rush: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 = 18

Attack, Flurry, ki point, PBS, Squeezed, Bull Rush: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 - 4 + 1 = 27

Attack, Flurry, PBS, Squeezed, Bull Rush: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 - 4 + 1 = 12

damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 17
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 12
damage, Gravity Bow, Aspect, PBS: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 18

Using his Driving bow to perform a a Bull Rush in place of the attack to push her back 5' and then 5' step. Using Perfect Shot on the first attack. The Bull Rushes don't provoke. When (IF???) any of them succeed, he steps forward into her space. Then, please add 4 to the subsequent attack rolls as he's no longer squeezed, and apply the damage rolls.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Meredith feels her roses wilt as a ghostly hand reaches from the wall and bypasses her magical shield. She stomps and gives a quick yell. She vitalizes immediately and staves off the worst of the effects.

Thanks Great Fortitude!

The creepy elf doesn't seem to care about Meredith, so Meredith tries to make her regret that decision.

Silver Heavy Mace +1, Flank, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 31
Arcane Strike, Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Precise Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 28
Crit Damage Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

And regret she will. "Denair, strike fast!"

Denair nods and tries to strike in unison with Meredith.

Power Attack Slam: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10
Power Attack Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19
Precise Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 2

But she swings wide again. "Oops! Sorry!"

Taking Jan & Frankie's actions first instead of initiative order, otherwise they don't make sense in light of Quang Chi's maneuver.

Though the Red Lady manages to get up in Quang Chi's grill, it's not without a toll. While Denair misses as she zips by Meredith gets in a terrible blow with her enchanted silver mace, cracking bones to devastating effect! What's more, it looks as though it does just as much damage as Meredith might've hoped that it would.

Ready to come to their companion's defense, Jan and Frankie fall into flanking formation as they try to strike at the Red Lady...to no avail.

After the elf's attack Quang Chi strikes back, furiously attempting to get the woman away from him for a moment but she's surprisingly hard to hit and even harder to push...and yet finally, he manages it! He's then quick to step forward and out of the tight corner, firing off another shot but is unable to connect.

Okay, so your third attempt with the 27 was enough to succeed and move her back; even accounting the +4 for no longer squeezing, the 4th(?) attack is a miss. So if I understand correctly, you move her (adjusted your position & hers accordingly) but otherwise do no damage. Correct?

Serge is UP!

Below the Mountains

Optional Battle Music

Serge turns the corner, pleased that his foe is now close enough that he might not risk being wraithtouched as he moves foward. Opposite Quang Chi, the paladin hoists his blade over his head and twists his body as it falls as if he were chopping down a tree, flames of vengeance in his eyes.

Greatsword, PA, FF, Bless, Flank: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 262d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 = 20

Confident that they've now got the Red Lady on the ropes, Serge steps up to flank with Quang Chi and brings his greatsword down with a mighty chop. And chop it does, slicing another wound in the elf's back!

And yet...it doesn't seem as if the blade is fully effective, even with the blessing laid upon it.

Adding insult to injury, Blue Wraith emerges from the wall once again to come to his mistress' defense. Sliding up behind Serge, he reaches out...

Incorporeal Touch vs. Serge (Flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 2

...and taps the paladin on the shoulder, though it's very nearly a whiff.

Serge, please make a DC 17 Fort or take 1d6 ⇒ 4 Con Drain.

Lazarus is UP!

Below the Mountains

Optional Battle Music

Lazarus raises his arm, the sleeve of his robe falling to reveal the blue and white tattoo depicting the holy symbol of Desna, the butterfly, stylized to resemble her herald, the Night Monarch on his forearm.

Using the elaborate tattoo as a divine focus, the wizard-priest casts moment of greatness, bestowing upon his friends the potential for greater success and glory.

Duration: 3 minutes. If the affected creature is benefiting from a morale bonus of any type, it can double that morale bonus on one roll or check, before making the roll. Once an affected creature uses this spell’s effect, the spell is discharged for that subject. For example, everyone can double the +1 morale bonus from bless on one roll.

As Lazarus raises his tattooed arm and invokes a moment of greatness upon himself and his friends, Green Wraith's inky fingers reach out of the wall for...

Clockwise~
1d2 ⇒ 2
Green Wraith vs. Serge (Total Concealment 50%; Low is Bad for Me: 1d100 ⇒ 58
Incorporeal Touch vs. Serge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

...Serge! Apparently everyone wants a piece of him all of a sudden. Once again, Serge feels a chill as wispy fingers pass through his armor.

Sorry Serge, make another DC 17 Fort or take 1d6 ⇒ 5 Con Drain. You'll need to make two saves, total.

This isn't going to be pretty...

Fort Save vs 4 Drain: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Fort Save vs 5 Drain, -4 Con: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 2 = 16
Fort Save vs 5 Drain, -4 Con, Folio Reroll, 2 Stars: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 13
Wow. Effective con score is now 5. Brb, gotta pull out my boon sheets...

Serge grimaces as his skin pulls tight against his body. His energy escapes through his skin in a hot rush of steam, sapped into the undead's form. He tightens the grip on his weapon, groaning, nearly keeling over. "Gah. You.. bastard. Apparently, they didn't kill you enough last time... Time to try again."

"Denair, help Serge. Too hard to flank 'em when they hide in the walls. I'll take down tall, dark and creepy here." Meredith moves in with her silver mace, hoping she gets lucky again.

Silver Heavy Mace: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Arcane Strike, Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Crit?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Indeed fate smiles upon her... twice!

"Okay. Will do." Denair flies off after the spirit in the wall, trying to scrape Serge apart.

Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Denair seems to think smashing the wall is a better idea. "Gah, I can't aim!"

The two wraiths cackle gleefully as they finally succeed in stealing *someone's* vitality, appearing to become slightly bolstered for their efforts. While Denair attempts to come to Serge's defense, Meredith cracks the Red Lady's skull for a second time with her mace - and once again, she seems to eat every bit of the damage.

But she fights on, in spite of her injuries. "Some of you fight well - but it won't save you! Face now your tragic end!" Laughing gleefully the elf suddenly spins about like a whirlwind, striking at everyone within reach!

Starting clockwise from the top...

Attack vs. Quang Chi (WA): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Attack vs. Serge (WA): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Attack vs. Frankie (WA): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Attack vs. Meredith (WA): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Quang Chi, Serge, and Meredith are each left with a nasty slice from Red's katana, but Frankie's defensive fighting gives him an edge and he dodges the blow meant for him!

"Heh...three out of four isn't bad, is it?" Red grins nastily as she takes a step back.

Optional Battle Music

Serge is unconscious here, being at 24 maximum HP after the con drain. With a con score of 5 and -3 HP, he is pretty close to dead.

The woman's attack catches the already weakened Serged in such a way that he's thrown back against the wall with an audible CRACK. He slides down the wall with his greatsword falling at his side, his world now dark. The divine symbol hanging from his neck flickers brightly as a spark of Ragathiel's power from within keeps Serge from the Boneyard. For now.

Stabilization vs DC 13: 1d20 ⇒ 14
