Sky Piracy by the Stormborn (Inactive)

Game Master leinathan

Completely oblivious to any deeper meaning Sparel take the Lord of the Arena at his word.

Nodding his acceptance and approval Sparel turns to join the others at the creepy hut.

Taking up his position in the marching order Sparel mumbles to himself, though not particularly quiet.
"*sigh* What I do for the chance to unlock the deeper mysteries of the multiverse."

Then continues louder to the group
"That other suicide mission to get the damned scroll is starting to look increasingly appealing."

*moment of pause*

"I think I hate this city." Sparel says in a tone indicating that he's legitimately trying to decide.

Any level of sense motive will pick up that Sparel is not entirely happy with the situation, but doesn't know what to do about it.

Smart =/= wise

"Other suicide mission, you say? Do continue! And perhaps we should be careful about badmouthing this glorious city while we remain within it?" Keiko happily chats as they re-enter the spooky shack.

"Good Sparel then you won't interupt me when I eventually bring Tris here on a date.... eventually"

completely serious

"Other suicide mission, you say? Do continue! And perhaps we should be careful about badmouthing this glorious city while we remain within it?" Keiko happily chats as they re-enter the spooky shack.

"I'm aware of the giant scrying devices. We were watching your last match on them. I'm assuming I can be heard by all and I'm fine with that. We're in enough trouble that I don't think any level of badmouthing can make it worse. "

"Good Sparel then you won't interupt me when I eventually bring Tris here on a date.... eventually"

completely serious

"Good luck with that."

Lu pokes the door open with her rapier, and it swings easily enough on oiled hinges. Within is a T-shaped hallway extending into the house. To the left is an open doorway leading into a kitchenette. From within wafts the strong smell of mold and rotten food.

Ahead is a hallway containing three doors - two on the left face and one of the right, ending in a dead end.

To the right is a rickety-looking wooden staircase leading down, down into darker areas.

A whisper weaves its way through the air - "Iiiii knoooow whaaat yooooou've doooooone."

This time, there is no whisper, but the ground beneath the pirates' feet trembles for a few moments as they enter.

Lu rolls her eyes and focuses on the spooky house again. First the 'terror' that threatens my life, then the one for my sanity ... she chuckled to herself.

"Downstairs and say hello to whom dwells bellow?" Lu asks and points towards the rickety stairs.

Lu rolls her eyes and focuses on the spooky house again. First the 'terror' that threatens my life, then the one for my sanity ... she chuckled to herself.

"Downstairs and say hello to whom dwells bellow?" Lu asks and points towards the rickety stairs.

"That seems the required path to me. Into the breech dear friends."

Sparel says as he heads down the stairs with his companions.

Though he'll keep an eye out for any unfortunate traps.

Perception 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26

For whatever reason I didn't get the two notifications for this - luckily I actually checked it with a reasonable time!

The stairs are creaky beneath their feet as the pirates descend into the basement, and the walls are dirt held back by wooden pilings. Obviously, everything was generated just hours ago by wishcraft, but the realism with the smell and the sound and the feel of everything is actually very impressive.

Sparel has to generate a light cantrip for him to be able to see, and when they reach the bottom of the stairs the light spills out into flat-bottomed, wide, square room. Four rectangular monoliths stick out from the ground in the room, spaced evenly from each other and making another square with them as the corners.

Each is labeled in glowing purple runes, in languages familiar to each of the party members...

In Tien, "Keiko Gasai" is spelled out top-to-bottom on the left back one. In Draconic, "Lucrecia Henderthane" is spelled out on the front right one. "Praetorius Thunderlord" is scrawled in messy common on the front left one. Finally, Elven runes spell out Sparel's fully name on the right-hand back monolith.

Each hums with power, and the whisper "I know what you've done..." begins to repeat in a whisper in the room, over and over and over again.

"well, this is going to be horrible."

Sparel sighs

Lu's eyes narrow and she glares at her own name, especially the struck out part. I worked hard for that name ... After a while, she decides not to be insulted by a simple insignificant humming pillar of magical rock and looks around in the rest of the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28

"Magical doppelgängers or some guilt trip? Anyone want to place zeir bets?"

Praetorius eyes widen as he see's his name on something concluding that since his name is on it and he didn't write it himself obviously someone has left him a gift

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

"My God the penmanship on this pillar is horrid, it will have to be redone before I accept such a gift."

"Lu what could I possibly feel guilt about besides that I just remembered that I should also get a gift for Tris when this is done and something funny for your.... son...slave...midget...scaderycat scribe thingy."

"I suspect we're about to see either duplicates or a perfectly designed killer for each of us. I theorize that the best strategy will be to take out one of the creatures other than your own. For example if mine is a copy it'll be physically weak. It's a designed killer then perhaps strong, but with an antimagic aura. I'm speculating, but you get the idea. Of course the best laid plans fall apart once the fighting starts. Once more into the breach. "

Keiko follows the rest of the party and similarly examines the area when they arrive.

Perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32

Looking at her own monolith, she raises an eyebrow. "Fifty gold on guilt trip. 'Knowing what we did' is lame if they don't make use of that knowledge. The question is how much research they've done..."

She glances at the other monoliths, assuming based off of hers and Praetorius' that the other two are for Lu and Sparel. (Can I do a Linguistics check to identify the two languages, even if I can't read them?)

Linguistics, if allowed: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Her attention turns back to her own monolith and she carefully examines it with Arcane Sight, attempting to deduce the nature of whatever magic lies upon it.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35
Know (Arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"Assuming these don't start doing stuff on their own, any ideas on which to try to deal with first, whatever they do?"

You can recognize the languages but not what they're saying with a Linguistics check. Sorry, I'm almost done with the encounter.

The pillars themselves aren't incredibly magical - they're just imbued with arcane mark and light spells, actually.

The whisper in the room grows steadily in volume and speed, until when the noise becomes almost unbearable loud, just mere moments later, the voice screams, "AND I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!"

From the center of the room a small globule of force appears, hovers there for a moment, before it explodes with riotous force.

Keiko Reflex Save: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40 Zero damage due to evasion.
Praetorius Reflex Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Lucrecia Reflex Save: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34 Half damage, so 15.
Sparel Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Damage: 10d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 2, 4) = 30

The house explodes above them, and wooden refuse flies everywhere. Each of the pirates is flung in a different direction out onto the hillside, bruised and battered from the force of the magical explosion.

Sparel and Praetorius land prone, pain in their joints, while Lucrecia and Keiko keep their feet, blasted back by the force as well. In mere moments, figures have appeared before each of them.

---

Before Lucrecia appears a hugely muscular human man, pale as the moon and wearing intimidating spiky black armor. In his hands, he holds a large bastard sword with a two-handed grip - a bastard sword that glows purple with unholy energy. His eyes sparkle with energy, though, and you recognize their pale blue hue...as well as the infinitesimally light scale patterning on his skin. "I'm doing what you do, little black. Isn't it nice?"

---

Before Sparel stands an elven woman - one he actually recognizes from his days at his old Academy in Kyonin. She holds a rapier in one hand and wears glittering mithril armor. "You betrayed us, Sparel. You took what was forbidden and then you had the gall to run." She spits on the ground in disgust. "And now I'm going to kill you for it. Are you ready?"

---

Before Praetorius stands a grotesque testament to agony - a hybrid werewolf nearly ten feet in height, carrying a huge stone, two-handed maul in his clawed hands. His chest, though, is completely open. His ribcage has been pried apart and it's clear to see that his heart is completely missing. His skin is patterned all over with scars and he twitches every once in awhile from pain. He screams in incoherent rage before lifting his maul into the air.

---

Before Keiko stands a little girl - the shrine-maiden of her memories. "You left us there." she says, her voice innocent and childlike. "You left us there to die." She's dressed in funerary rags and a cloak that is far too large for her. "My father used to tell me that the kami were the best creatures in the world, but you.... you didn't even try to save a single one of us."

"My *what* ...?" Lu blinks and stares confused for a moment before realizing Prae meant Lima. One correct descriptor at least. Hmph. I mean, do I look old enough to have a son that big? Maybe I need to re-evaluate this form ... Lost in thoughts for a moment, Lu doesn't pay the increasing voices much heed until they grow loud enough to drown out all other noise. And then - boom!

Falling, and rough landings, was something Lu was more familiar with then she cared to admit. Landing on her feet simply happened on instinct. Still, being pelted with debris wasn't usually part of the deal! With a grunt she smacked aside half a door coming her way, deflecting torn splinters away from her.

Round 1

Spitting on the ground, Lu sneers and looks up at the tall humanoid with defiance in her eyes. Putting one and one together didn't take long - and the prospect of this battle put a cruel smile on her lips.

"Nought but a pale copy! Typically blue!"

Fast as lightning, Lu dashed over the broken ground and struck with a flurry of deadly strokes. Before her foe has even time to lift his weapon, blood pours from a multiple of wounds all burning with chemical fire.

After realizing what's before her, Keiko stands for a second in silence. Then an almost unearthly laughter erupts out of her, possibly audible elsewhere on the hill. "You're blaming me for THAT? REALLY? Not for, you know, slaughtering the survivors? You're talking about the OLD me. The NEW me always lamented not having had the opportunity to kill you. This will be a pleasure." Her murderous grin doesn't quite reach her eyes.

She disappears from view, then the sound of flashing blades are heard.

@Lucrecia: It looks like you have five attacks listed instead of four, and last I checked nobody is hasted, so I withdrew the damage from one of them.

Lucrecia leaps forward, a snarl on her face, delivering a trio of blows to the armored warrior before her. While her sword bites in deeply, the acid seems not to harm him. The warrior doesn't even flinch from the blows, and in fact smiles, and raises his bastard sword in anticipation of a counter-strike.

Keiko engages the little girl in combat, striking her with rapier and gladius. Though Keiko expects the girl to be relatively defenseless against her strikes, she evades still, her eyes glowing subtly white. She whispers, "I can see you, pretender..."

It's still Praetorius' turn.

Praetorius swears to himself before getting to his feat, then upon seeing the great werewolf smiles

"Thank you for reminding me that one day I need to subjugate the werewolves of ustalav"

with a flick of the wrist and some magic saying that Prae doesn't completely understand 3 balls of crackling electricity appear around him.

then taking a defensive stance with his force ring ready for the werewolfs assault

move action to stand, standard to cast ball lightning

@leinathan - 4 four standard attacks + 1 extra from Fleet Charge : )

@Lucrecia - gotcha. Will add the damage from the last attack.

Praetorius conjures a trio of magical balls of lightning that hover around him, slowly circling. He activates his ring of force shield and prepares for the werewolf's assault.

Meanwhile, the elven woman in front of Sparel casts a spell.

When she's finished casting, she spits out some vitriol - "You had so much promise." before reaching out towards him and clenching her fist in his general direction. He feels his limbs contrict inwards - he finds he has some difficulty moving.

Combat Maneuver Check (CMD 17): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28 Sparel is grappled.

Then, she takes a few steps towards him, towering over his prone and restrained form.

Keiko Gasai, the shrine-maiden, widens her smile. Her parting lips reveal rows of clean, white teeth, but they are too many. Her bleeding wounds close and some of the slashes that Keiko delivered begin to heal. Her black hair begins to flow as if stirred by wind, and her overlarge robes rush towards Keiko (the oni) battering her with great force.

Slam 1 (AC 38): 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 26 + 2 = 34
Slam 2 (AC 38): 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 26 + 2 = 37

Wrapping 2 (AC 38): 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 24 + 2 = 30

Unfortunately for her, Keiko is just too fast for any of her blows to accurately connect. Whether because of unluck or lack of puissance, the little girl fails to injure her copycat.

we're to Sparel's turn.

she needs to overcome my spell resistance of 18. Not a hard roll, but it's one layer of protection.

On a related note is that iron ball I threw earlier around here anywhere? It was left on the hillside earlier. Presumably it's still around somewhere.

Spell Penetration Roll: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26. With that done, yes, your iron ball is still hangin' about somewhere on the hill.

Know (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
(NAT TWENTYYYYYY)

Tightly bound Sparel cranes his head to look at his bane. Anyone who happens to be looking sees a less than subtle spark of madness in his eyes. Then he says a word in ancient draconic.

With a command Sparels formerly inert spiked metal ball violently uproots itself from where it was earlier to attempt to crush his bane.

I used a Ring of Telekinesis, which is command word and not spell casting nor does it require his hands.

Spiked ball 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 159d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4) = 24
(-4 calculated for the grappled condition)

Assuming that hit and her spell is cast she'll need to make a concentration check to maintain her concentration of 39. (10+DMG24+SL5)

Edit: Seriously, I have never seen more consistently low rolls on any character than I have on this one. How he managed to survive childhood is beyond me.

Edit2: I forgot you posted the stats. The ball misses.

Unfortunately, it's much less your rolls and a lot more the fact that you only have +7 to hit - it's not even ranged touch to use telekinesis. Also, while grappled it should be +3, right?

Sparel desperately activates his telekinesis ring, trying to throw his spiked ball at his opponent. Unfortunately for him, she dodges it handily and it flies right by her.

The armored beast fighting Lucrecia hefts his sword and swings it at her several times:

Bastard Sword vs. Lucrecia (AC 43): 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (18) + 32 = 50 Damage: 1d10 + 19 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 19 + (2, 2) = 31

Bastard Sword vs. Lucrecia (AC 43): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31
Bastard Sword vs. Lucrecia (AC 43): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Extra Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

His large black blade carves into her several times, creating big rifts in her flesh. His sword reverberates with power as it strikes her, creating resonant ripples that tear into her. As he pulls back to defend against her blows, the sword radiates negative energy that rots her flesh. Total damage to Lucrecia: 97.

The werewolf that faces Praetorius charges him, trying to shove its shoulder into him. Overrun Attempt (CMD 29): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (2) + 27 = 29 Praetorius almost dodges, but the werewolf smashes into him enough force to push past him. Praetorius does manage to keep his feet during the attack, though.

+7 is correct. I included the grapple penalties in the calculation. But yes, it's sad.

Keiko reappears, her face suddenly contorting in unrestrained fury. "How dare you wear that face?! IMPOSTOR, PRETENDER! You aren't her, you could never be her!" As she screams, she slashes rapidly with her weapons, paying little heed for strategy.

The sound beating she receives as she closes does not impede her morale, for a dragons ego is unbreakable, but does put her in a more defensive stance. Vary of the large blade, she dances carefully around her foe and strikes.

To Hit: 1d20 + 29 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 29 - 4 = 26

To Hit: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 24 - 4 = 32

To Hit: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 19 - 4 = 23

To Hit: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 4 = 22

Damnation! Lu silent yells and grits her teeth as most of her strikes fail to connect with the smug blue.

Damage: 1d6 + 12 + 15 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 15 + 3 + (2) = 35

Damage: 33 normal + 2 acid

Lu will activate her Dodging Panache on her foes first iterative attack, for an AC of 50 against it (If her bane instead tries an Combat Manoeuvre she'll use it there for an CMD of 60). Otherwise her line is 43/32/36 and CMD 53

Sparel, your casting-defensively DCs are 4 higher due to your Bane's Disruptive feat. Just gonna let you know now.

The elven woman towering over Sparel smiles grimly, concentrating on her spell - the telekinesis effect squeezes him again.

CMB (Sparel CMD 17): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
Spell Penetration (SR 18): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

She penetrates his spell resistance once again and he is just too weak to resist her magical strength. "You had promise, but now... now your promise is ending. I'm bringing that library back to Kyonin."

She raises her rapier and thrusts it down into him. As she thrusts, its length is coated in rime.

Spellstrike Rapier Attack (AC 20): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 20 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 20 + (1) = 27 26 piercing damage and 1 cold damage.
Sparel Fort Save (DC 16): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Sparel avoids Strength damage, but takes 27 damage. I believe this makes him unconscious, though - at -1/56.

Sparel feels intense pain as the sword penetrates his belly, spreading cold throughout his body. The woman above him grins sadistically as he cries out.

The little girl in front of Keiko doesn't bleed when Keiko strikes her. Instead, more and more of the girl's flowing robe is sliced away, to lay limp around them as they fight. Quietly, she leans close, into Keiko's ear - "Are you sure that I'm the false one?" and then she unleashes another barrage of slams.

Slam (AC 38): 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 26 + 2 = 29
Slam (AC 38): 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 26 + 2 = 38
Wrappings (AC 38): 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 24 + 2 = 27
Wrappings (AC 38): 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 24 + 2 = 35

She only scores a single solid hit on the nearly-liquid Keiko, but the cloth wraps around Keiko's torso when it strikes, attempting to draw her in closer.

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 1) + 9 = 15
CMB vs. CMD 44: 1d20 + 30 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 30 + 2 = 44
Constrict: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 = 21

She nearly escapes - nearly. Just as she thinks he's pushed the grasping cloth away, it pulls her in tighter - white cloths wrap around her arms and legs and torso, pulling her limbs closer to one another and restricting her movement.

36 damage to Keiko and she is grappled.

As Sparel cries in pain there is a flash of magic across his broken body. At that moment a sphere of energy forces itself out of his body separating him from his assailant and encasing his body.

Sparel final thought before losing consciousness "I really should have insisted on coming back in the morning better prepared for this fight."

He is unmoving in the sphere, but doesn't appear to be bleeding further.

HP: -1

I have no actions since I'm unconscious. 5' sphere of force (Resilent Sphere) just enough to surround me. Sparel unconscious at -1, but has stabilized. His mythic-ness and his minor regeneration both prevent bleed and stabilize him. There's a Pearly White Spindle Ioun stone stored in the Wayfinder in my pocket. It regenerates 1 hp per ten minutes.

Sparel's Bane scoffs as her opponent is covered in a wall of force, just as she manages to knock him unconscious. "Damn wizards..." she mumbles.

The dragon-in-disguise before her raises his sword again, ready to strike Lucrecia down. He smiles grimly - "Are you ready to die, little black?" he spits, before he brings his sword down on her. Somehow, he strikes faster than it seems he should, but less accurately than last time.

Attack vs. Lucrecia, Power Attack (AC 43): 1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 32 - 5 = 36
Attack vs. Lucrecia, Power Attack (AC 43): 1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 32 - 5 = 43 Damage: 1d10 + 19 + 15 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 15 + (2, 1) + (2, 3) = 48

Attack vs. Lucrecia, Power Attack (AC 43): 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 17 - 5 = 28

He strikes her only once, but the blow is brutally powerful, its force reverberating through her body and the negative energy it releases shriveling her flesh painfully.

The werewolf that faces Praetorius merely screams in rage at him, hefting his big maul and attacking Praetorius with all of the might that it has.

Attack vs. Praetorius (AC 31), Power Attack, Furious Focus: 1d20 + 23 - 0 ⇒ (7) + 23 - 0 = 30

Bite Attack vs. Praetorius (AC 31), Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 4 = 13

Praetorius manages to dodge or absorb every attack that the werewolf throws at him without injury - the werewolf is attacking him with too much wild abandon to have any ounce of accuracy at all.

Keiko swears loudly as the wrappings coil about her, squeezing painfully. It translates roughly to "You pile of twice-regurgitated Aboleth excrement". In return to the Bane's comment, Keiko spits out "Yes. Yes I am QUITE certain. Now DIE you little @#$%!" Keiko then proceeds with trying to stab her opponent in the face, as many times as possible.

(Full attack with Rapier, the -2 to-hit from dex-loss is counteracted by the +2 from not TWFing, still get -2 to damage due to losing 2 dex-to-damage)

Round 3

Am I ready to die? The question bounced back and forth in Lu's mind, reverberating in time with the blow. On trained instinct, she sidestepped the next blow - and the next. The thrill of the fight was exhilarating - but the answer was 'No!'. Time... Time to end this charade!

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWRRGGGGGGG!!"

With an inhuman roar, Lu flung herself at her foe. The bleeding shell that was Lu the woman mottled away like old scales, in its place Lucrecia the dragon came to be. The jet black armoured scales was marred with negative energy and gashes left by her foes sword stained the ground plentiful amounts of foul-smelling blood. With a single beat of her wings, she was upon her foe.

Bite: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 31

Claw: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (10) + 29 = 39

Total Damage: 178 <- unless her Bane has a truly impressive CON score, it is now probably dead. Thus - a messy description is totally needed :D

Despite her damaged state, Lu tore into her foe with great vigour. Her jaws closed around the blues shoulder, tearing it from the socket and then the body as a whole flinging it high in the sky. Her claws dug greedily into the stomach and chest cavity spilling guts and blood onto the already slick hill. Her long and ridged tail wrapped it self around the legs, crushing the bones with the sound of a thunderclap before uncoiling and flinging the lower half of her foe away.

Standing over the scattered and mushy remains of her defeated bane, Lu threw back her head and roared again. This time, it was in victory and not fury and it quickly transited into laughter.

"RAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHAHAHAHA!!"

With a grin on her scaly visage she lifted the disembodied head of her former foe and looked into his dead eyes, her own purple eyes reflecting pure malice and joy.

"Tell me Blue, were you ready?"

With a big smile Prae jests
"I Remember you being alot more terrifying and myself being alot less amazing...Oh well"

Hearing the roar but unable to see its source(I believe Lu is farther than 60 feet from me) Prae relishes the glory he might obtain for killing whatever made such a bone chilling scream

Self damage 12

With an expenditure of precious mythic energy, Lucrecia resumes her normal form with a roar, rending her foe limb from limb, and when the dragon dies, it also loses its alter self - changing back into the form of a strangely familiar silver dragon...

Sparel's opponent scoffs at his force-shield, and casts an abjuration spell, holding out her hand towards the force shield.

Dispel Check (DC 25): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

A blast of white force reverberates against his force shield but fails to penetrate it. She growls.

Keiko's opponent tries to constrict her tighter, finding it much easier to keep her in because Keiko failed to try and break free.

Maintain Grapple: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (14) + 37 = 51

She manages to keep a grapple on Keiko, pressing her into a tighter configuration and preventing her from moving at all.

Constrict: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 2) + 12 = 18

18 damage to Keiko and she is pinned.

Sparel wakes up - his stomach hurts like a b~%#%, and he can feel blood slipping out of his body. His robes are horribly stained as well. But he's awake, albeit with bleary vision.

Sparel regains consciousness but is disabled and staggered.

Thoughts!

*Blink*

Silver?

That didn't make sense. Her wrath cooled a bit and was replaced with confusion. She had expected a blue. Or perhaps a white (but those were hardly articulate enough to greet her - let alone form complete sentences!). But not a silver. Not *that* silver. They weren't usually swinging around unholy weapons in black plate: they were the insufferable goody-two-shoes.

And this one should be dead!

Quickly her mind started to piece together little bits of this and that she had heard just moments before - between now and the explosion.

Keiko knew her foe. Prae knew his. And Spa too.

So they were critters dragged from their past.

Necromancy!

And just like that, her wrath flared up again. But it was no longer directed at the fallen silver, but the entities that put him here. While she had personally killed this one twice - she hated the fact that some lesser creature had the audacity to make a simple puppet out of her kin.

I'll move that name up a few notches on the list ...

Groggily Sparel takes inventory of his surroundings and quickly remembers what happened.

Gritting his teeth in a strain of effort Sparel calls forth the power of his deity to heal himself. His wounds close dramatically, but he's far from fine.

With a strain he yells "SWITCH ENEMIES, DAMMIT! HELP EACH OTHER!"

(FYI: I as a player am not upset. It's all in good humor. )

Sparel channels the energy of one of his clerical spells into healing.
4d8 + 11 ⇒ (7, 4, 1, 3) + 11 = 26

Well, s%*#. I forgot that I cast Stoneskin before this fight. Bolded in the spoiler. Oh well. I'm not going to change history, but I'll keep it in mind going forward.

Current HP:26

"A little -grrr- BUSY! Trying to not become an Oni-wrap!" Keiko barks back towards Sparel's side of the hill.

Pretty out of options. CM check to escape grapple.

CMB: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Sparel infuses himself with positive energy, stopping the bleeding on the deep wound in his torso. Some of the bludgeoning damage from the force explosion earlier dulls as well.

Meanwhile, the werewolf in combat with Praetorius continues to try and maul him with its gigantic hammer, still shrieking in intense pain and rage.

Bite Attack vs. Praetorius (AC 31): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 Damage, DR: 1d8 + 5 - 10 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 10 = 0

Trip Attempt vs. Praetorius (CMD 29): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34

This time, it lunges for him first with its teeth, successfully wrapping its mouth around his ankle and pulling him to the ground. Fortunately for Praetorius, the creature's non-silver teeth do nothing to harm him.

Unfortunately, he feels the burn of the werewolf's next two strikes. Not only is it striking him in very vulnerable, soft places but his hammer seems to be covered in silver, and it burns him wherever it touches him.

69 damage to Praetorius and he is prone.
