heh heh

oh, the creeping doom doesn't have to stay all together. They are 4 separate swarms (If I read it right?) they just have to appear next to each other. :) Lets have one continue to harass mii, one head up towards m4 (if he's still kicking) and the others enter the darkness. (Creeping vs Creepy!) :)

Right on. They move at 20, so they make it to the edge of the darkness.

MAP!!!

Lol! 'Attack the darkness!' That's me. A living, breathing cliche'. What can I say? the 80's were good years. I mean, I don't REMEMBER them much per se, but my friends tell me I had a good time! :D

;P

I tried so hard to set that up....

Pip; Satari.....

Satari flies up just as Elgin's wall closes beneath his feet. He is tempted to plunge straight into the ominous cloud of darkness, seeking the malice at its centre.

"Does anyone know what that shadow is?"

Instead, the monk charges in a long spiral at the mothman menacing Pip and Altai.

Charge m4. Attack: 1d20 + 21 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 21 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 39; damage 4d8 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7, 2, 3, 6) + 9 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 42.

Satari strikes the mothman, but doesn't finish it.

Pip's up.

Pip keeps up the barrage, picking his targets where he can. The pulse of sun hits him

ref: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

He manages to shield himself from the magical flash and pepper the foe with holy arrows

Attack 1 (manyshot also)1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 351d8 + 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3) + (3, 5, 4, 1) + 19 = 35
Attack 21d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 361d8 + 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (8) + (2, 3, 5, 4) + 19 = 41
Attack 3 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 251d8 + 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (8) + (5, 1, 3, 2) + 19 = 38
Attack 4 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 351d8 + 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (8) + (5, 2, 6, 1) + 19 = 41

Many shot damage: 1d8 + 19 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 19 + (6, 3, 3, 2) = 34

Pip steps back and feathers m4, dropping him.

Then he attacks the darkness, sending 4 arrows through its unknown anatomy.

their turn.....

the darkness attacks Elgan, with its 15 foot reach.

4d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 7) + 6 = 24 hp in damage to Elgan, and make a dc 18 fort save, or drained of 3 levels.

m ii doesn't do anything; the centipedes are blowing his mind.

drew a questionmark on the robed dude; you guys can't see him due to the wall of stone.

Group's attack!!!

back in 3 or 4 hours.

I'm converting Hungry pit into Summon monster V, which I use to summon 1d4+2=5 lantern archons. They arrive on my turn next round.

Gjestost cautiously approaches the inky blob.

Move to J-K 8-9 before attacking using Power Attack and Vital Strike. Attack roll 11+29+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 40, damage 4d8+23+3(bard)+12(PA)=56. Attacks are magical and slashing.

Claw and the elementals keep ferrying prisoners.

They're all on their way up now.

Rinse/repeat.

Gjetost destroys the darkness.

It explodes, and does 8d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 2, 6, 4, 6, 5) = 28 reflex dc 22 for half, to Elgan, Gjetost, Satari, Pip, Emrael and Altai.

also, two of the four swarms are destroyed. And m2 didn't like it too much.

Yikes Ok, Fort save vs 'Darkness Attack'.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 Whew! No neg lvls! HP down to 116

OK. So attacking the Darkness DOES work?!? Who knew?
Ref save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Nuts. Full dmg. Now HP:88

The bits of shadow-stuff strike the elemental druid full force, seeming to cling to him before he can shake them off. He trembles in the air a bit before steadying himself.

"Iz,... Dat,... All,... Yew got?"

Elgan, Em, Pip, and Satari are up.

Gjetost destroys the darkness.

It explodes, and does 8d8 reflex dc 22 for half, to Elgan, Gjetost, Satari, Pip, Emrael and Altai.

Altai and Gjetost both blew their saves. Altai's starting to look a little ragged. Good thing I have that shield guardian!

Also, M4 got deaded by Pip, right? It's still on the map.

Yeah. M4 should've been erased; is now.

All that's on the board is m ii, and you guys can't see mister buzzing robe dude at the time, since there's a big ass wall of stone in the way.

Elgan, Em, Pip, and Satari are up.

I'll be back in 2-3 hours or something...

reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Pip avoids most of the splattered darkness, but still gets a chunk wrapped around his leg

"Sweet Yondalla's milk-white titties! That hurts!"

He burns off a CCW

4d8 + 16 ⇒ (5, 2, 7, 3) + 16 = 33

Pip feels much better....

Satari, Elgan, and Emrael are up.

Elgan casually directs his remaining swarm(s), and another lightning bolt from his personal thundercloud, to harass the remaining visible mothman.

Continued Swarm action on mii, the second swarm can replace the first if the lightning bolt kills it :)

Big lightning strike on mii. 5d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2, 4) = 15
SR roll; 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 <Grunt> ;P

The lightning has a negligible effect on the mothman.

The swarms continue their harassment.

Satari; Em.

Emrael was hit by the explosion even at the top of the dome? Just asking, hopeful voice and puppy dog eyes can be assumed.

Is there another save against ongoing effects like sunburst? She's still blind.

Yes, and no. Need a cure blindness.....

but,....Zatoichi did allright....

Reflex DC 22: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

She doesn't hit her saves often. Ever. 28 points of damage takes her to 9 hp

Correction on her action last round, she draws the wand of Cure Critical Wounds. This round, she uses UMD to activate it on herself.

UMD DC 20: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

CCW: 4d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 7) + 7 = 21

She feels a little better.

Negative energy is a byoch.......

Satari!!!

Ref save DC 22: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Satari shrugs off the clinging darkness, remaining stoic in the face of its vile shadow. He looks down into the depths of the tower, seeking further threats to face or innocents to rescue.

Perception 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

"Have we rescued everyone we can? Did we find Beldan? I don't like the thought of that gate behind Elgan's stone wall, or what might emerge from it."

Haven't found beldan yet; all you see is mothman ii, at p 17. You can't see past the wall of stone Elgan threw up at row 31.

"I don't like the thought of that gate behind Elgan's stone wall, or what might emerge from it."

"Dat makes tew uv us. Dats why I PUT it dere!" Elganelemental replies.

Let me go through my (remaining) spells. I think we're gonna need a quick turn of Cures and heals pretty soon! :)

Anyway, m ii decides to get while the getting's good. He blinks out, finally getting over on the creeping doom crawlies.

Group's turn; there's no more foes evident, but we're still on rounds.

back in 2 or 3 hours.

"What's going on? Do we need more allies?" A brace of gently glowing motes of light appear around Altai. "Stay close to me. Blast anything that looks even remotely hostile."

Heh heh...

Pip takes a moment to summon his pal Zippy

"la-da-da-da-da-da-deh-dah abracapoooocus.."

right on.

"Altai, everything seems calm. Much like the centre of a hurricane I suspect. No sign of Beldan yet, but there may be more coccoons below Elgan's wall. Or perhaps ... through the gate."

You can hear the distaste in Satari's voice at the thought of entering that vile yellow cloud.

"What can we do about our blinded companions? And our wounds?"

"The gate has probably reopened by now, and I won't be able to suppress it again. Unfortunately, I haven't prepared any of the wall-type spells either."

"We've come much too far to stop. We need to find the last enemy, blast his essence into oblivion and then rescue Beldan."

While we mull over our options, Claw and his elemental batmen keep opening coccoons and ferrying out their occupants.

Which ones?

We'll keep working from the top. So - numbers 23, 24 and 26.

The numbered ones have been snagged allready.
Sorry

OK. In that case - K10, M13 and Q12.

The occupants of all of those got killed by some spell or effect.

1d22 + 1d21 + 1d20 ⇒ (9) + (14) + (5) = 28
