I will be unavailable essentially the whole weekend, as my wife and I are going to a wedding and then have our own 5th anniversary celebration. I will resume normal posting Monday night or at worst Tuesday morning.
Eisalka screeches in glee at the damage she has inflicted on the mummy, and keeps up her assault. She decides that the mummy will be less threatening if blinded, and so Man pulls out a scroll and casts glitterdust at him.
The undead sphinx burns some more. Eisalka's elemental slams twice more at the undead sphinx.
While Man and Eisalka move forward, Eisalka chanting arcane words. From her beak issues even more flames, bathing the sphinx.
"This is the real thing, I can tell you that. Watch the sphinx, it is faster than you may imagine. Man, use that gem we found." Man pulls out a gem and smashes it on the floor. A large fire elemental swirls out of the gem. "Kill the sphinx." Eisalka says, and the elemental charges at the sphinx.
"I am missing a bit of my health, as is Man. A curative spell or two would be appreciated."
Man leans over to Eisalka and whispers something to her.
"Oh also, there are some carvings there that don't fit with everything else. A human man, a human woman, a ram, a jackal, and a falcon."
Eisalka stares once more at the mummy.
Seeing that the creature is near to falling apart, Eisalka and Man then cast several magic missiles at it.
"Of course, a mummy guarding a false treasure horde. Why would it be real treasure, right?" Eisalka says, sarcastically. She then stares menacingly at the mummy again.
Man will pull out his wand of ray of enfeeblement and cast it at the mummy.
On Eisalka's turn unless something majorly changes: "You will be destroyed, you disgusting corpse!" Eisalka screams at the mummy, and she then chants arcane phrases and her eyes begin glowing in that telltale way.
Man will hold onto any of the scrolls that Sionnach can't use. I wouldn't mind grabbing the bracers of armor +1 for him as well.
"You didn't seem to be needing killing. Let's get all those items into a sack and keep going... I see a healing wand there, if anyone needs some, I'm sure one of the more divine among us can use it. Speaking of, Man and I could each use a bit of that." Eisalka is down 4 HP and Man is down 9.
Eisalka stops flapping wildly in the corner of the room and flies back to Man. "That's it, I'm done with these idiots." she says calmly, trying to ignore her outburst of panic just moments before. She moves her wings and says some arcane words once more, and Man steps forward as two missiles of force shoot from Eisalka's beak and streak toward Jathal.
I'm still around as well, just not much to do when Eisalka is frightened for several more rounds. :)
Eisalka keeps flying away, still frightened.
Man will cast an aggressive thundercloud spell above the enemies. It starts over the cleric.
Man will cast a magic missile at the badguy that scared Eisalka, as she flies away.
Eisalka and Man step into view, giving the enemies the confusing image of a bird commanding his human "pet" to help her cast a spell. "Let's burn them!" Eisalka's wings move in complicated gestures and she speaks arcane words, while Man's hands move imperceptively and his lips move ever so slightly.
Eisalka then stares at the ninja-looking guy.
Eisalka points with her wing for Man to move away from the doorframe, and readies to cast a spell on whoever comes through the door.
I'm alright with either, but would definitely like to find a replacement player at some point. Playing with 3 can be tough.
Man whispers to Eisalka on his shoulder for a moment. Her avian head nods up and down, a strange sight to the others. "That slab over there has a spell inscribed on it, would be useful to remove any nasty curses that we might run into. Can't really be moved though. And there's a panel there. Sionnach, can you check it for dangers, please?"
"Sigh. Always trying to put us poor winged creatures in danger, aren't you? I suppose." Eisalka directs Man to cast mage armor on her (which lasts 7 hours thanks to Spell Sponge and Familiar Focus) and flies in a quick arc around the statue. Reflex save if needed, Improved Evasion and 20% miss chance from constant blur active:
Eisalka takes a few minutes to re-prepare her spells once she and Man awake, and a raven preparing spells is quite the sight to behold for the others.
"Seems like a reasonable idea. I could definitely use my spells refreshed."
Man fires off another ray of positive energy.
Eisalka audibly sighs, which is an interesting sound coming from a raven. Man pulls out a scroll and shoots a ray of fire at the stupid skeleton.
Unfortunately, Man's quiet voice is swallowed up by the sounds of battle and he must have said something incorrectly when activating the scroll, because...
Eisalka casts a simple cantrip at the skeleton, hoping that his allies have the rest mostly in the bag.
"Good hit, Man. Now help the others out." Man drops his current wand and pulls out another one, then casts enlarge person on Khairam. "Don't be scared, Khairam, you're bigger than him!"
Eisalka lands on Man's shoulder and gives him a scolding peck on the side of his head. "Don't be such a scaredy-human!" They turn around, Man pulls out a wand and sends a ray of enfeeblement at the cat.
Eisalka continues following Man.
Man runs, as he's nice and frightened.
Man looks as if he's about to bolt away from the undead cat, sending Eisalka flying up into the air. "You coward!" Eisalka screeches. Unfortunately, without her familiar, Eisalka can't cast any spells!
Man casts a cantrip and fires a little ray of cold at the skeleton attacking Sionnach.
But it misses pathetically.
I added the treasure to Eisalka's profile under "Temp Gear" though that doesn't mean that she (read: Man) will carry it, I just wanna keep track of everything we get there. If someone else would like to hold onto it, I'll put their name next to it.
"They're some sort of undead, destroy them!" Eisalka says, and she and Man uncharacteristically run forward, where Man helps her cast a spell.
"Sigh. I suppose. If I get taken out by some hidden trap, I'm blaming you. Man, avenge me." Eisalka starts flying down the left hall, looking actively for traps the whole time.
"Skwak! Leader! Who says the dwarf is the leader?? I am the most capable leader here, by far!"
"Let's move on for now, and if need be we can revisit these elemental servants."
Eisalka's sharp eyes notice the writing and verifies what Sionnach says. "Could be we need to get these elemental creatures to help us with the puzzle we are stuck on?"
"Yes, let's continue our search, and hopefully the correct order will present itself." Eisalka and Man fall in behind the others.
