Mia expends a charge, to make the cascading channel.
She expends a charge, to make the cascading channel happen.
She uses a charge, to make the cascading channel continue!
Did he just nuke everything?
The satyr feels an overwhelming presence attempt to make him submit. Despite not having a protection from evil spell active, Joe spent many years on Earth, strengthening his mind through the new age study and daily mediation. Now, in his new body, Zaidel had a direct connection to the Divine, and as a sublime creature; even greater access to The Positive Energy Plane.
Silverwhistle's considerable mental powers forced Zaidel's head to droop, but only for a few seconds, until he raised his high.
"You, sir, are truly fuçked."
Thankfully with his mental abilties unhampered, Zaidel knew what Matthew was trying to accomplish.
Holding his silver holy symbol aloft, Zaidel cries, "Last call, mutherfuçkers!! Cascading Channel!!!"
Lets see if I can use my nonexistent perform poetry skill offensively!
With a sonorous voice, Alexandr intones
"An Undead Lord once had grand designs
To rise as Liche, ruler of all kinds
But alas, his reign was short and sweet
For a band of drunkards did his face meet
With swords a-swinging and spells a-flying
They brought his grand ambitions a-dying
His bones soon lie in shattered heaps
A warning to all who are vile creeps
Dread feeling of impending "f*%@"
struck the lord who could not suck
We more dread he beheld his foes conspire
Turning against him many a vampire!
He starts Blooraging, hoping to inflict some juicy psychic damage on "Sir Sucks a lot but Badlies" loyalists.
And then runs up to the next hostile and punches it in the face.
Stratton enters into primal warrior stance and easily closes the distance to the host, drawing and striking out unexpectedly with his +1 mithral katana in a rippling current manuever.
vs. flat-footed ac for slashing and precision (sneak attack) damage.
To the host, he 'stage whispers' "Buddy, you may want to play dead before Matthew makes sure you're not just playing."
Lady Black is a bastard sword.
He growls out before barreling up the stairs, "Now we look for his similicron."
Now with the cascading channels have done their work a large swath of the vampires have been eradicated. There are more figures around,
Zaidel's satyr eyes nearly bulge out of his head.
"HOLY FUÇK! A LIGHTSABER!!" The cleric yells with delight and awe!
"Well, then! I know just what to do!"
Zaidel grabs the panpipes around his neck, casting ghost sounds for accompaniment.
The bardic cleric begin to play an orchestrated epic from a galaxy far, far away.
Zaidel begins a bardic performance of Inspire Courage +2.
"I kinda get it, a@$+&%# wants to have an undead body with his soul it. Probably watched too much late-season Angel. Let's go stake him like Buffy." Stratton smirks.
"A what?" She quickly exclaims as she aims her bow at one of the figures, also looking to help others.
Shr releases her magical arrows into the mob, damaging the fleeing figures!
Dragging her great club until she gets to one of the undead and begins to rage as she swings.
With falchion in hand she stays by Angelica casting defensive magics.
He dashes forward looking to get into a flank with Jellena.
Stratton moves forward, brandishing Lady Black against an undead foe using disparity blow, hoping to trip up the enemy.
Lady Black
"Nope, not my best swing." Stratton says, although if she has telepathy, she might overhear the "witticisms" that come to mind, such as
Have you put on weight? and I've had better. which he chooses to push away.
Maintaining the bardic performance, Zaidel holds his holy symbol aloft once more and lets loose a blazing channel.
Most of the guests flee. Some return fire as other charge into melee with your group.
Ok Ladies, Lets do the Bowling maneuver!
Two of Alexandrs surprisingly strong Vampire lady friends grab him by the ellbow, and all 3 start running at a gaggle of resisting undead. To the enemies suprise, the throw Alexandr, who enlarges and curls up into a Plate armor wielding adamantine wrecking ball of destruction as he is being thrown.
Due to a bug in this realities physics engine, this makes faster somehow, and he occassionally uses his Strength to jump around, wreaking massive destruction on the foes.
I am the juggernaught throwing b~@&#! Announces the thiefling Vampiress as she giddily watches the destruction.
Did Walking bloodbank of incredibly good taste not say he is patterned after heroes from his world called colossus and wolverine? Asks the Half Elfen one.
Did walking Bloodbank evolve into rolling bloodbank? Mortals are weird. Adds the Aasimar Vampire.
I think there is a feat chain for it? Greater overrun an Bullete charge style? The Half Elfen Vampiress says, looking at a pop up screen in front of her.
Eh, he also needs to dip in siegebreaker fighter The Thiefling Vampiress speaks
Ladies, since when can we metagame? The Aasimar asks.
Since I, Ishta the incredible have claimed the power of metagame knowledge on behalf on NPCs! The Half Elf states striking a heroic pose
I think it will be temporarily, we are, unusually enough, drunk and are thus able to perceive through the hidden veil, and glance at the rules of this cruel universe, where we but dance at the strings of hidden puppet masters, hiding behind impenetrable screens of colored light and glass. The Aasimar Vampiress states, depressedly
More and more of the vampires flee as others get turned to dust.
Stratton continues mowing through undead, teleporting and sheathing and drawing weapons, mostly his katana and wakizashi, but occasionally letting Lady Black have a taste as well. He moves like a dancer through the battlefield, a kind of performance piece on his part, getting into the zone as it were.
With one hand in Carouser's Retort and the other holding his holy symbol; Zaidel The Benevolent, Easier of Pain; wades through the undead, al the while maintaining his bardic performance.
The battle rolls on for a good two minutes. The werewolf was up to the top of the stairs in the first round and you haven't seen him since. There might be a few still lurking in the shadows but no obvious threats.
Seeing how opulent the former Chosen lich lives, Zaidel starts to look for loot. The satyr continues to keep his holy symbol up and his attention to others if they are in need of help.
There are massive tapestries, likely very hard to collect, paintings which will be awkward but likely worth good coin, and the curios on display on pedestals covered in sheets of glass. There are also lovely rugs but the shortest one is about 100 feet long and 20 feet wide.
Unless you go into one of the adjoining rooms from the hall, then you find so much more.
Frowning, Zaidel wants to explore more, but doesn't want to be alone in a vampire-ridden abode.
"ROLLCALL!" Zaidel shouts. "Anyone need healing?"
BOINK BOINK BOINK Alexandr enjoys being a wrecking ball.
One of the Vampire girls apparently films this. Nobody knows from where she got a camera.
I AM FINE He answers Zaidel, laughing like a madman.
So, what feats to I need to pick in order to be capable of doing this on a regular basis? Oh, thats quite a number of em, well, never mind LOOT TIME!
Alexandr starts searching, still chuckling.
Stratton moves through the corridors after Matthew, pausing at each door to check for traps and/or locks and disabling any he finds.
"I'm checking the doors, y'all can check the rooms. I'll be back through after I clear all the doors." Stratton says.
Perception, trapfinding +2
Stratton you don't find any traps or locked doors, at least initially for the first few minutes.
Alexandr finds lots of baubles and items upon the pile of ash which was the host's body.
She still holds her bow and happily states, "Angelica is fully healthy as is Mia."
She nods keeping a watchful eye as she rummages from ash pile to the next.
"Coming!" Zaidel shouts as he makes his way over to the Mistress's forces. Using two channels for healing.
Stratton follows Matthew up to the 5th floor then, but will check the doors there. He doesn't want to miss the showdown between Matthew and the ash-heap-to-be.
They nod their thanks and look around.
As the fight ends he moves up the stairs quickly to the 5th floor. Floors 2 to 4 don't seem to have any stairs, they each have balconies which makes you think they must fly.
"Well, let's follow Matthew", Zaidel says as he follows Stratton upstairs
Stratton considers his options then uses fading strike to teleport to a position where he can flank the most vampires with Matthew (if bigger than medium, or if there are several in stepping distance once positioned.) before slicing into one that is now flanked, taking a 5' step to flank another if that one falls.
Mithral Katana! if that hits
The werewolf nods to you and moves to leave the room, down the hallway to the next door and waits for you to follow it.
Zaidel goes up the stairs with the group following behind. Jellena catches up and has her light saber on and ready. In her other hand she has a strange thorn like revolver.
"You two alright", a worried satyr asks the wardens.
