For the Briefest of Moments Duncan considered CHANNELING as a way of Harming the ghostly caster who'd attacked him, however he had Precious few FERVOUR left, that resovior of holy power that quickened his spells and he was sure before this day was finished he'd need them. Right now the spectre was not his primary concern and he was sure Karnog could damage it better than he.He instead attempted to break the Grapple of the tentacles and if possible move back down the stairs.
Leggo, ye damned ground octapussy!Mustering his Mighty Dwarven strength he tears himself free of the Black tentacles and attempts to Using his Blessing of Fervour bonus for extra movement
Divine Favor-EXPIRED
Blessing of Fervor- Current use- +2 to Attack and Reflex saves
Resist Energy Communal (FIRE) 30, 40mins
Sacred Armor +3 Bonus 14rds
Sacred (Holy) Weapon Class Ability 1 rds,
Crusaders Edge 14min,5rds
Continual Flame on Coin around neck
Not being able to reach any of the fliers was becoming frustrating and his strengthening combat spells were beginning to expire.
MAGE! YE NEED TA MAKE ME FLY
Duncan holds his Holy Crusader's Sword high.
Me weapon is BANE ta the Vrocks, get me to them!!!
Duncan will hold for one of the casters to cast FLY on him. [ooc]If no one casts Fly he will sheath his sword and draw his Bow.
The tornado of steel begins...
And then the tornado continues!
Come here brother! I can throw you too!
Desmond's steel slashes and pierces the yellow vrock, he brings it to unconsciousness and it disappears, sent back to the abyss where it was summoned from.

Rd 8:
Duncan dashes over to the waiting King Grungsdi and accepts a boost from his Dawrven ally, dropping his SHIELD at the dwarves feet as part of the move. (Hopefully) getting tossed High enough to reach the Blue Vrock with a Mighty 2 handed Smash.
Success: If you are successful, the target is shaken for one round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.
Fail: The opponent is not shaken.
I'll post a Rd 9 depending on the success of the Rd8 Attack.

The only creature left for Desmond to attack on the platform is the prone high priest. The rogue send the high priest back to Orcus as he slices and dices the man. As he finishes there's a brief pause than an unholy eruption explodes from high priest.
Desmond you are the only on in range to be caught in this explosion
Bwahahahaha. Desmond you're rubbing off on me brother here!
for the dwarf toss at the target of his choice![/ooc]

RD 9: Spectre
Does another touch of idiocy attack on Kalim,
;
With a touch, you reduce the target’s mental faculties. Your successful melee touch attack applies a 1d6 penalty to the target’s Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. This penalty can’t reduce any of these scores below 1.
This spell’s effect may make it impossible for the target to cast some or all of its spells, if the requisite ability score drops below the minimum required to cast spells of that level.
Initiative RD 9 update
Duncan - positions himself for the dwarf toss
Desmond - kills the evil high priest but is in middle of an explosion
fodder - dead
enemy bosses - attacks kalim
enemy protectors - attacks karnog
Nym -
Karnog -
Kalim -
Grung - tosses Duncan.
Duncan hits the vrock but is falling towards the ground and his arse. His flying attack does seem to shake the visibly wounded Vrock.
The rock creature resurfaces back where it was and fires a torrent of missles at the spectre
Nym hits the spectre with magic missiles. It is apparent to the spellasters that the creature is easily damaged with the simple magic missile spell.

Duncan makes solid contact with the Vrock as he explodes through the air on the back of Grungsdi's mighty toss. And his gleaming blade, Gutbuster, bites deep into the demon's shoulder.
The Combined Holy and Outsider Bane Energies both burn and rip deep into the evil flesh, the blade's colour, switching back and forth between bright white and deep red in a moment as the sword parts flesh.
Oh how the creature howled. A loud an unearthly scream that would echo throughout the unholy place.
It was able to turn it's body aside in midair, while Duncan's movement continued forward, AND down.
It seemed his acrobatic talents were confined to ground based tumbles, for he landed on his backside, HARD and the air was blasted from his lungs. He coughed up a little blood though if it was from his lungs or the bottom of his lip, which he was pretty sure he'd bitten in the landing, he was not sure.
Gutbuster's white glow faded, it's Holy enchantment was spent, leaving only the reddish glow of the Bane quality from his spell. His sword would still harm the Demon, though not nearly as much as before.
They had almost reached their limits, this trip.
Duncan only had a Divine Power and 1 more blessing of Fervor to cast.
Considering what they had faced so far he figured they'd need those just to get out of this place, as the underground network was vast and there was no guarantee the way would still be clear behind them.
Kalim flies another 5 feet back and says something, then blasting the ghost with an Acidic Spray
Calling down the protective light if Torag, Karnog raises his hammer and red-white light bursts forth to wash over the ghost and any other undead within 30'.
"Begone, creatures of Evil. Return to the Abyss with your tails between your legs and trouble this plane no more!"

Kalim roll a % dice. below a 50 misses the incorporeal
An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source (except for channel energy). Although it is not a magical attack, holy water can affect incorporeal undead. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature. Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally.
An incorporeal creature has no natural armor bonus but has a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus (always at least +1, even if the creature’s Charisma score does not normally provide a bonus).
An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid objects, but must remain adjacent to the object’s exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object. In order to see beyond the object it is in and attack normally, the incorporeal creature must emerge. An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect.
An incorporeal creature’s attacks pass through (ignore) natural armor, armor, and shields, although deflection bonuses and force effects (such as mage armor) work normally against it. Incorporeal creatures pass through and operate in water as easily as they do in air. Incorporeal creatures cannot fall or take falling damage. Incorporeal creatures cannot make trip or grapple attacks, nor can they be tripped or grappled. In fact, they cannot take any physical action that would move or manipulate an opponent or its equipment, nor are they subject to such actions. Incorporeal creatures have no weight and do not set off traps that are triggered by weight.
An incorporeal creature moves silently and cannot be heard with Perception checks if it doesn’t wish to be. It has no Strength score, so its Dexterity modifier applies to its melee attacks, ranged attacks, and CMB. Nonvisual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are either ineffective or only partly effective with regard to incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures have an innate sense of direction and can move at full speed even when they cannot see.
Here is the reflex save
Depending on Kalim's % die roll the spectre will either take zero damage or 22HP of damage.
Calling down the protective light if Torag, Karnog raises his hammer and red-white light bursts forth to wash over the ghost and any other undead within 30'.
"Begone, creatures of Evil. Return to the Abyss with your tails between your legs and trouble this plane no more!"
Karnog lets loose a burst of positive energy trying to harm the evil creatures from the abyss
The spectre also makes the save and takes half damage.
Karnog you destroy the dead cleric fodder that were getting up as undead.
Before RD 10 begins the following housekeeping needs to take place:
Desmond has a refex save DC 25, if he fails it he takes half damage due to his rogue abilities. Desmond was also hit with unholy damge damage which he does not get a save agaisnt.
Kalim needs to roll the % dice to see if his acid spell hit the incorporeal creature.

There is general sense that the bloody battle is ebbing towards the heroes.
RD 10 Battlemap
*the blue circles represent being prone
Kalim's acid blast misses the Incorporeal creature.
Desmond makes his reflex save so he only take the unholy damage of 22 HP.
the spellcasters know that magic missiles always hit the spectre and Karnog's channeling likewise hits the creature. Other spells have a 50% missed chance.
Duncan uses his Blessing of Fervour to stand up as a Swift Action an takes a wide arc to move away from the Vrock another 5 ft and then 15ft back towards his Shield.
He didn't have a alot of offensive magic left and with little else to do he once again called on one of his last 3 Blessings.
May She enfold you, Imoedae.
May she encompass you, with gleaming wings,
May she protect you, her ward,
May she watch over you and keep you safe...
The Azata immediately uses a Move Action to Inspire Courage with a Heavenly Song.
It swings at the Vrock with it's Large Longsword...
Duncan you feel an emptiness as your prayer goes unanswered. You figure it was worth the attempt but the altars magic within this unholy chamber has thwarted your summoning effort.
The aqua vrock attacks the Karnog on more time.

The specctre changes tactics a bit and simply flies to touch Kalim with it's incorporeal touch

plus energy drain 2 levels
Editor’s Note
Does a creature struck by an attack with energy drain get an initial saving throw at the time of the attack or only 24 hours later to try and remove it?
Unless the monster or effect description SPECIFICALLY SAYS you get an initial saving throw… you don’t get an initial saving throw.
Effects that grant initial saving throws against an energy drain effect are pretty rare. I actually can’t think of any that are in the rules right now, in fact.
[Source]
This attack saps a living opponent’s vital energy and happens automatically when a melee or ranged attack hits. Each successful energy drain bestows one or more negative levels (the creature’s description specifies how many). If an attack that includes an energy drain scores a critical hit, it bestows twice the listed number of negative levels. Unless otherwise specified in the creature’s description, a draining creature gains 5 temporary hit points for each negative level it bestows on an opponent. These temporary hit points last for a maximum of 1 hour. Negative levels remain until 24 hours have passed or until they are removed with a spell such as restoration. If a negative level is not removed before 24 hours have passed, the affected creature must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 the draining creature’s racial HD + the draining creature’s Cha modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). On a success, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. On a failure, the negative level becomes permanent. A separate saving throw is required for each negative level.
