Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams

Game Master FabesMinis

That takes it out exactly.

No sooner does the ghoul reach him than Akahale has stepped away and sent a star whirling into the undead thing. It howls and screams , falling down truly dead.

One of the eidolon's three arms stretches out and swings at Shaeryyn.

Shadow sickle vs Ac 1d20+17 = 29. Hit. Shae takes 15 damage. Save vs fire - 20.

Ze map remains ze same. Bar the absence of G7 and Akahale shifting next to his egg brother.

As the second ghoul tries to bite her, a mystic shield springs up around Shae.

Shield, from my scepter. Kicks my AC to 26, and turns hit into miss, so I take 10 and immobilized from the first, nothing from the second, and then the 15 from the big guy. Bloodied.

"GACK! They smell even worse close up!" Manny cries, waving his hand futilely in front of his nose,...

Will post action tonight, where I have access to my Char Gen and books! :)

BTW congrats Grandpa Rags!

"Shae, get back!" Shaerynn stumbles back even as she is oddly inspired by Otto's words. "So, these ghoulies won't be feeling fear until you're dead, huh? We're going to have to fix that!" Otto sends his halbred crashing down onto the eidolon, and a certain gravity seems to fill the air around him.

Minor, use Majestic Word on Shaerynn(1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 extra healing and slide one square up and to the right), then use Empowered Arsenal(creates a zone 1 around me, all allies in zone gain +4 damage and ignore insubstantial). You did say the eidolon was insubstantial earlier, right? 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 332d10 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 181d20 ⇒ 5

Nice one.

Otto alters reality with his brain and those around him find that their attacks will cause more damage to the misty form of the statue.

BTW congrats Grandpa Rags!

Thank you! Thank you! I'd like to thank the little people! Oh, wait, wrong speech,... ;P

I can step back 1 square so I am next to Gra without taking an AO, correct?

Manny backs up next to Grafire, waving his staff before him as if trying to swat a fly.

"You DARE to try to lay hands on me? ME?!? Do you have any idea who I am you afterlife-challenged peasant?!? I am Mandrake the Magnificent! Mage Most Mighty!" The elderly wizard cries, (somehow you can actually HEAR the capital letters.)

"I am the Fakir of Frostbite! The Sorcerer of Snowballs! The Warlock of Winter! The WIZARD OF BLIZZARD! Touch me at your peril!" He cries, spittle flying in fury. He points his staff and orb, and a single, small blazing bolt flies forth to strike the Ghoul.

Manny looks at his staff, then he looks at his orb. He shakes it and peers into it as if it is a snowglobe.

"Hmph. THAT was anticlimatic." He grumbles.

5'step back to the (hopefully) safety of Grafire. ANd cast MM on ghoul. SHould be 11 pts of dmg. (5int +2spell, +2 staff, +2 orb=11)

"Mage Mandrake, I am behind you," remarks Akahale prissily ...

Manny, you're fine. Akahale took out Ghoul 7 and is already next to Grafire. You can just blast it at someone else and won't take an OA. The eidolon would be favourite as Otto just dropped his insubstantiality for a turn.

Mur - go for it :)

Its resist 15 has ended as well.

Took me a sec to figure out who "Rags" was. Congrats Manny! Glad to hear everyone is healthly and now let the spoiling begin grandpa! lol

"Thank you Mr. Samir. I'll take the biggest one from here." Hadarai sidesteps to the west, circling the great statue, trying to get closer to the center of the room and putting the rest of his fellow adventurers behind him. He uses Corellon's presence to draw the Eidolon's attentions and then brings his flaming blade to bear...

(move) Shift down one to the west taking Shae's old space. (minor) Challenge/Marking the Eidolon (-2 to attack and it takes 8hp damage if it attacks someone besides me). (stand) Thunder Smite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 vs AC ... 2d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + 4 = 17 fire/thunder damage.

edit: that's probably a miss... not too great for my first roll with the group, lol.

PS... I know we said finish the ghouls first, but I can't get into position to hit them yet... so I figured I'd swing on the big guy and try to keep his attention with my Mark.

Its resist 15 has ended as well.

Hadarai moves decisively but his attack is parried by the eidolon's sickle.

"Thanks!" Shae calls out to Otto, and flicks him a smile before turning her focus back onto the enemies. This time, however, she changes tactics, and instead of calling down elemental destruction, she attacks the Eidolon's mind.

Phantasmal Assailant, using Wand of Accuracy with it as a free action. Targets Will. 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21. On hit: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20 psychic damage. In addition, he takes continuing 5 psychic damage and grants CA to my allies (save ends both.) My own save vs immobilize: 1d20 ⇒ 18

1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 1 = 24

Could it be?? Grafire wonders. I am still bound by this infernal device?

If freed Grafire will move to intercept G8 and proceed to roar a mightily frustrated roar at the ghoul and if it were a free action Grafire would attempt to bite its head off.

Have applied Manny's MM to the Eidolon.

Grafire pulls free as Shae unleashes psychic power against the evil statue. One of the ghouls trudges through Manny's icy cloud and snarls, charging at Otto.

G2 moves and attacks Shae 1d20+12 = 20 vs AC,. Miss. G3 attacks Otto with bite 1d20+10 vs AC = 15. Miss. G8 attacks Otto 1d20+10 vs AC20. Miss. G5 charges Otto 1d20+13 = 25 vs AC hit. 5 damage to Otto

Wrapping himself in shadow, Akahale strides confidently foward and blasts starry doom into the Eidolon. Miffed at his likely misfire, he thumps his staff irritably on the ground only for a sad tinkling noise to greet his efforts.

"Most unsatisfactory," he mutters before trying again and using his own feelings of humiliation to barrage the Eidolon.

Move behind Hadarai and gain concealment
Curse Eidolon (minor)
Maintain Crown of Stars (minor) and attack v Will
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Likely not a hit, but just in case, it takes 6 radiant damage.
AP. Shared Agony (Will) v Eidolon. Can reroll on miss at cost of 8hp to self.
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 - epic fail.
Take 8hp damage and roll again.
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28 - more like it
2d12 + 8 ⇒ (10, 4) + 8 = 22 - psychic damage
1d8 ⇒ 4 - curse damage
Looks like 26 damage to Eidolon plus possibly another 6 radiant if it has a low enough Will.

Have applied Manny's MM to the Eidolon.

Akahale strides forward and understatedly blasts the eidolon. Chunks fly off the statue as Akahale's magic is reinforced by Otto's psychic aura.

30 damage (+4 from Otto) that ignores insubstantial thanks to Otto's aura. Sigh. My turn...

As if angered by this, the eidolon extends all three of its arms, each bearing a shadowy sickle. It coalesces and becomes more solid. Heedless of the ghouls, it swings its weapons viciously at all around it. It moves away as if aware that its attack was easily dodged.

Sickle Burst (close burst 2) vs Hadarai, Otto, Shaeryyn, and Akahale - 1d20+13 vs AC = 18, 20, 19, 26 respectively. vs G2, 3, 5 1d20+13 vs AC = 32 (of course), 32 (inconceivable!), 19. Akahale and G2 and G3 take 13 damage. The Eidolon has lost phasing and insubstantial until it recharges this power. Save - 12

Akahale wipes a trickle of blood off his snout and retaliates.

Activating Darkspiral Aura.
3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1) = 12 - Darkspiral Aura damage.
DSA resets to 1

Further cracks appear in the animated statue as dark energy coils round it.

Minor, sustain Empowered Arsenal. Standard, Energizing Strike on G8(9 temp HP to Hadarai on a hit): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 331d10 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d20 ⇒ 18

Hadarai slides closer to the statue keeping its attention focused clearly on Corellon's Champion and attempts to cleave through the nearest ghoul in the process. "Return to the lands of the dead, beast."

(Move) Shift closer to the Eidolon (1sq west). (Standard) Holy Strike on G5. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 vs AC, for 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 4 = 15 RADIANT/fire damage.

And b/c I ended adjacent to the Eidolon, I will maintian my challenge on him, he's marked (-2 attack and takes 8hp damage if he doesn't include me in an attack)

"Well, If your just gonna stand there like a big statue!" Manny grumbles.

The mage holds out hand, and it is covered in frost. A moment later, a 5' tall giant version of his hand carved from ice, wrinkles and all, appears next to the statue and HAdarai.

"Here, let me give you a HAND!" The mage cackles gleefully as the floating icy hand grabs at the living statue,...

Bigby's icy grasp, appears in the square above Hadarai, next to the statue as well. Vs Reflex, If hit, cold dmg and hand grabs target. If target tries to escape, use my Fort or Ref defense (whichever is better) Can be sustained as Minor for auto dmg next round on grabbed target.

To hit vs Ref/dmg if hit
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 272d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 6) + 10 = 24

Grafire shifts 1 sqr diagonal toward G8.

"Akahale please feel free to blast this ghoul if he dare step away from me."

Viper Strike G8 AO on G8 from Akahale if he shifts
1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 - 1 = 28
damage 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

HP- 52/69
Surge 8/8
AP- 1

Akahale nods and the crown of stars around his head spins menacingly.

Hadarai cuts down one of the ghouls with a burst of radiant light.

G5 dead

Grafire and Otto hit their opponents, causing the undead horrors to scream but not fall. The old wizard summons an icy hand that grabs hold of the eidolon and squeezes. Hard. The statue splinters and falls to pieces.

Eidolon dead and now difficult terrain. Map update later.

Placing a dainty curse upon the head of Ghoul 6, Akahale attempts to blast it to pieces.

Minor. Curse G6.
Minor. Sustain Crown of Stars and attack G6 v Will:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 - crit. A useless one to some extent unless he can also add his implement damage?
7 radiant (+2 because it's bloodied)
8 normal
Possibly more if implement is added in.
Holding on remainder of turn to see if the critter drops.

You can indeed add the implement crit roll. It's still standing but in bad shape. Once you make that roll, it prob won't be.

2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 implement damage.

If Ghoul 6 drops, DSA up to 3 and will blast at Ghoul 8 - EDIT - unlikely.

FURTHER EDIT: If Ghoul 6 is still standing, Eldritch Blast v Ref
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21. If that hits,
1d10 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 and DSA up to 3.

"Your idol won't protect you now!" Otto slices through the undead.

Minor to sustain Empowered Arsenal, and Demorilizing Strike, Augment 2(close burst 1, -5 to all defenses until EOMNT)(2/6 PP): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 271d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d20 ⇒ 13

I know G6 is dead, but I'm not sure about G8... assuming he isn't apply this to G8.

Hadarai pauses only moments to watch the Eidolon crumble, spins his blade once, and brings it to bear on the nearest ghoul. "Corellon be praised!".

(Minor) Challenge G8 (-2 attack and takes 8hp damage if he doesn't include me in an attack), (Move) Shift into G6's old square (still within Otto's burst), and then
(Standard) Holy Strike on the ghoul 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 vs AC, 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + 4 = 20 RADIANT/fire damage. I believe G6 is also easier to hit b/c of Otto's previous attack...

EDIT::: Whoohooo!!! Max damage on a critical FUMBLE. I'm not sure if that means I'm lucky or not... uggg, at least the ghoul is still marked :/

PS: If G8 *is* dead before my turn, then I'll move into its old square and apply my mark and attack to G3 instead.

G8 is now dead.

Otto swings and brings a ghoul low, allowing Hadarai to stride forward to threaten its fellow.

Manny turns his wrinkled hand slowly, and the icy replica slowly moves as well. The elderly mage makes a grasping motion, and the large frozen construct reaches for the nearby ghoul,...

Minor to maintain hand, attack G2
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 262d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 6) + 10 = 24

"Now now, naughty ghoul. You need to Chill Out!"

DSA rises to 4.

G2 is now dead.

Manny grabs a ghoul with his icy fist oo-er! and the ghouls screams as the crushing chill ends its unlife.

Manny starts to jitter uncontrollably, and you realize he's trying to dance.

"THAT'S the way! Uh-huh uh-huh! We DO it! Uh-huh uh-huh!" The mage croaks in an approximation of song.

I DO like this Ice hand spell! :)

I hope he gets it washed between summons. Last time out it popped a gibbering mouther like a large boil.

Grafire moves along side Hadarai and attacks G3.

"Nice of y'all to save one for me."

Warlord Strike

(double move - speed 12) I want to stay on the west side of the hall and should be just south of the last secret door alcove... I don't want to be adjacent to the ghoul. (minor) divine challenge the last ghoul (-2 attack and takes 8hp damage if he doesn't include me in an attack).

Yeah, sorry guys, after effects of Manny's (current) favorite big area spells! :)
