Apologies for the disappearing act - I was away for three weeks on holidays to the UK.
Given that the group is functioning fine in my absence, I might humbly suggest that I keep my distance and let the campaign roll on without me?

Before the party continues on their way - Lorth salves suffered wounds with his curative wand.
With both of the foes before him ended and with little harm carried through to the party, Lorth allows the Dawnflower's searing might to fade from his scimitar as he shoulder's past the fallen dragon to support Bites.
Dragon Shishkebob: Holy Scimitar +2: for
Knowing that even with the cloak of shadow upon him, any attempt at stealth would be futile - Lorth instead welcomes the coming challenge, striding forthright and forwards, calling upon the Dawnflower as he does.
Lorth continues to frown stoically.
Lorth's stern expression has not changed, but he offers no counterpoint or complaint to the agreement rendered.
Stern, observational and with a hint of iron... Lorth watches on.
With a slight frown, but no words of reproach Lorth politely refuses a drink.
Apologies guys - I'm travelling at the moment and my tablet + keyboard combo isn't helping with keeping track of the combat. If someone can run Lorth for 48 hours until I'm back near a desktop that'd be much appreciated.
Readied Action:
Readying an Action: You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it. If the triggered action is part of another character's activities, you interrupt the other character. Assuming he is still capable of doing so, he continues his actions once you complete your readied action. Your initiative result changes. For the rest of the encounter, your initiative result is the count on which you took the readied action, and you act immediately ahead of the character whose action triggered your readied action. Invisibility:
If the subject attacks directly, however, it immediately becomes visible along with all its gear. Spells such as bless that specifically affect allies but not foes are not attacks for this purpose, even when they include foes in their area My read is that it'd become visible after the first attack - at which point the readied actions would fire and interrupt the action. After the readied actions are completed, the now visible character could complete the rest of his turn.
Lorth calls to mind the workings of his patron and readies a mighty devotion to unleash should the bone devil be seen again...
Lorth maintains his stoic delaying tactic until the room clears.
Lorth backs away to yield position to Mirrin and Rebel.
Pressing the assault upon the hobgoblin before him, Lorth seeks to make it fall to free the way...
Forging past the others, Lorth moves to engage the furthest hobgoblin slashing with his scimitar...
Lorth frowns at the plethora of torture devices on display, and his mind focuses upon the bone devil that appeared and left. They needed to be ready for it to return at any time.
With little that he can do to act against the devil, Lorth withdraws into a defensive turtle stance.
The being of earth and stone fades away into the swirling elemental chaos from which it was called, service performed. Lorth regards the scene with grim vindication that beings of evil were felled.
Retrieving a stone from within his belongings Lorth proffers it "Risk the creature of stone... if they are just lowly devils then they should fall easily. If there is subterfuge... then it will not fall upon us."
Lorth grimly nods and grips his blade, ready to join the forthcoming assault.
As the others scour for magic, Lorth moves between the bodies ensuring that their evil spirits have passed on.
Seeing that Tomkin remains in the fray, Lorth takes it upon himself to join it also. Surging into combat, he lays out with his scimitar...
With knowledge that the halfling upon his steed is little worried by being surrounded... Lorth pauses to see his intent before committing his own hand.
Noting that the fired missiles of his companions nearby outweigh the javelins, Lorth holds his position and waits for the spawn to assault. The mounted crusader was more than able to extricate himself from harm... and if the beasts came forward Bofus might be more able to position himself for advantageous stabbitry.
With little to do while the tentacles yet writhe, Lorth accepts the javelin strike with nary but a grunt of discomfit.
Unwilling to wade into the miasma of black tentacles writhing before him, Lorth insteads positions himself upon it's periphery and readies himself to strike if needed.
As the battlefield before him erupts into chaos Lorth assesses the need and salves Tirion's wounds...
Surging forwards into the fray, Lorth seeks to position himself to defend the breach with shield and blade.
Lorth nods "I stand ready"
Lorth keeps a stoic vigil as Bofus discerns which direction they should travel next.
Frowning "If it is made from the damned... why would it be anything but damned itself?"
Lorth busies himself with first staunching his own wounds, before moving on to Mirrin...
Following the devil's withdrawl Lorth ignores his wounds for the moment to press the attack...
Crowded by the press of bodies, Lorth slips past Mirrin to an open position and brings his sun-blessed scimitar into the fray...
Lorth posted 9 days ago because that was the last time it was Lorth's turn... Lorth was going to post last night but ran out of time after date night. Lorth will be posting tonight soonish.
The servant of Sarenrae pauses, conjuring the power of the Dawnflower and holding it steady... waiting to be unleashed...
Somewhat perturbed that a chance to further slay the servants of the enemy was snatched from him Lorth muses before answering "Scout the hall for the Northern door." |
