1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Blur 1d100 ⇒ 35

Xukong staggers back and drinks a watered down potion that has little effect on the burn victim.

Kitt does what he can to get to Xukong as the Eidolon snips at the air, missing the monk by a good margin.

Talondreal engages the monk once again and the paladin's blade is met with resistance as the monk turns gaseous and wafts away in a cloud of vapor.

Another of the Sifu's monk's boldly strides forward.

Mun's arrow whips through the mist as Gillii continues to inspire.

Xukong (2/20)
Talondreal (4/11; -3 Con; -1 Wis)

Startled by the appearance of a new threat, Mun knows that getting the melee combatants back in good form is most important. He focuses all of his attention on moving closer to Xukong.

Double move action this round. Mun can draw and cast one of the Kensai's wands next round.

GM
Code WHITE is now in effect

Seeing the new opponent come out behind him Mun leaps back behind his companions as fast as he can.

The monk's palms continue to glow as he sends another scorching ray at the earth elemental.

"One's mind must be at rest. That outsider's was in turmoil."

Scorching Ray vs Eidolon AC Tch 12; shaken: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 = 14
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 2) = 16

The earth elemental is melted until it forms a sloping pile of slag and rock that shine like blackened obsidian.

The monk's hands shake slightly but his aim is still true.

Talondreal (4/11; -3 Con; -1 Wis)

Gillii continues to inspire with his song, holding his cure wand in case he needs to use it as his next action.

Xukong whirls its hands at the monk in a dizzying blur....

Daze, DC 14.

Talondreal still needs healing, Gillii.

Mun quickly ducks by Xukong's side, where he grabs the green-tinged copper wand from the kensai's belt. He invokes the power of the wand as he taps Xukong with it, sending a burst of negative energy into the enigmatic warrior.

Inflict Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kitt also taps Xukong with his own wand. infernal healing. He then rushes to his fallen friends side.

Terra constitution DC10: 1d20 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 3 = 7

The half-elf will move up to attack the monk again.
1d20 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 5 = 18
1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 4 = 14
1d100 ⇒ 58 Blur

Gillii continues to inspire as Kitt activates Xukong's wand and slowly begins to heal the sever burns.

Xukong whirls its hands in a mesmerizing pattern.

Will save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22

As Xukong whirls his hands in small circles the monk chuckles. "My mind is centered and not swayed easy charlatan."

Talondreal moves in and cleaves into the monk's arm with his sharpened and honed blade. A fresh line of blood sprays against the clean floor.

Mun does what he can to keep Xukong on its feet as long as possible with Xukong's second wand.

Talondreal (4/11; -3 Con; -1 Wis)

Iddo seems very disappointed when the monk snatches his arrow out of the air, and spends a few seconds trying to figure out what to do next as his enemy is replaced with a different one. Seeing that he hasn't many options, he mimics Xukong's whirling hands, adding the word "Haxama".

Casting Daze, DC 14.

Will save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

"Seems you are not able to hear either. Mimicking your strange companion will not make it more effective." His voice quavers as it seems a bit unsure.

Scorching Ray vs Talondreal AC Tch 11; shaken: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 = 9

The monk stumbles as he gets visibly dizzy from Xukong and Iddo waving their hands at him in weird circling motions. The dizzying effect causes his scorching ray aimed at Talondreal to miss.

Shouldn't I be healed 1 more point now that it's a new round?

Xukong lunges forward with an unearthly shriek!

miss chance if applicable; low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 20 You're f$%&ing kidding me.

GM - Code Grey

Mūn moves quickly up onto the top of the dias, trying to--if nothing else--distract the monk with another attack. He'll surely knock it down even if it's on target. But maybe if he knocks this one down, he won't be able to knock down the next one. Something's got to get through.

Ranged attack, Longbow, into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16
Damage, P: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Kitt looks at his hands as he holds two wands, for a moment he forgers which wand to use, but tries his luck and taps his eidolon.

Restore eidolon lesser: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Terra opens her eyes, and takes a moment to regain her composure, and starts to stand up. Kitt goes to the give terra a big hug.

The Sifu's Ki forces continues to wane as the monk's are being wore down little by little.

Kitt manages to heal his Earthen friend as it rises from the ground once again.

Xukong let's out an unearthly shriek as it's blade passes through the space where the monk once stood as its form blurs. Xukong's wounds continue to heal.

Mun fires another arrow and the monk is also able to deflect the missile as it launches at the weakened monk initiate.

Iddo is up

***OVERSEER POST***

Please see the following post

"Whew! Congratulations everyone!
...
Me? Qualified for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament? Why would I participate in the Ruby Phoenix Tournament? Ya'll are very confusing blokes. I thought I was going to plant some buds under Absalom. This is one really big misunderstanding."

"Well that was different... we all survived too! I'm with you, Iddo... I can't believe I 'qualified'... it's not like I did a whole lot... just inspired you all. You were the ones who did womderfully and should qualify. Like Iddo, I thought I was just going to be picking up pieces and maybe burying the dead..." He looks truly relieved and surprised, his head fins wafting in the air as if under water, maybe in agitation? "Shall we get out of here and enjoy a good stiff drink and a hot meal? It's on me, my friends. You may eat and drink while I compose something epic to commemorate our little escapade. Iddo, would you like to collaborate?"

The paldin nods, happy to have survived this testing.

As the tournament ends on of the monk's disciples steps forward and grabs Xukong by its arm.

"Sifu Xho Nuo wishes to meet with you in private."

Xukong is led down a series of long hallways until you reach a set of mundane double doors at the end. With a bow the monk leaves you to your own accords.

Before you are able to knock the door cracks open and inside is a sparse room with not many furnishings. Standing in the center of the room is Sifu Xho Nuo. he motions for you to stand before him.

"You are a capable warrior but not yet ready for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament. One day you may be though." He squints as if in deep thought with a smile. "This tournament would have proven much more difficult if not for you......your voices."

He motions to the blade at your side. "My disciple mentioned to me that you were unaware of the screams residing from within. Is it true you do not hear them? No bother. One must center ones mind to hear what cannot be heard."

He smiles as he rubs his hands together. A cool warm light begins to form between his palms. Before Xukong has time to react Sifu Xho Nuo lurches forward and claps the palms of his hands against Xukong's ears. Xukong stumbles back as its ears ring continuously, to the point it thinks it is going deaf.

Sifu Xho Nuo sits back down just as Xukong's hearing begins to slightly come back. As it slowly returns the ringing is quickly replaced by incessant howls and cries of anguish. Frantically Xukong looks around the room for the source, which seems to be coming from him. Pulling the blade out Xukong watches as a slow mist rolls from the hilt down the blade that pulses with each scream. Little by little Xukong begins to hear a small voice speaking to him.......

Xukong looks at its sword, now utterly black, and fragmented in strangely beautiful patterns, yet held perfectly together by some far greater force.

"Your name...is Shard."

Iddo smiles at the undine, nodding and yawning.

"I'd be glad to help you. I had this idea for a short melody you might like; it goes like this:"

Iddo clears his throat and starts singing a cheerful victorious tune in an adorable falsetto, but his face quickly grows red in embarrassment and he pulls his flute out of his backpack, playing the remainder.

"great melody, just have to write lyrics worthy of it! A little backwards to the way I usually write, but we'll make it work. "
