Where hope dies (Afina, Surarruthru, Calleigh)

[Anastasia]

Init order is Afina (44) > Sylvie (33) > Surraruthru (28) > Necrolyte 2 (24, confused) > Tryll = Master (21) > Calleigh (18) > Psicrystal (17) > Necrolyte 1 (15)> Tannin (10)

Open Afina.

[Ebiris]

That did not go even nearly according to plan. At least the corpse-boxes are done with, but the necrolytes are the real concern. Needing them dead before they trip an alarm or send out a telepathic distress message, Afina goes all out to make them dead! Speeding herself up immensely, she drops a pair of ball lightning spells one for each necrolyte, before blitzing them both with quick stabs from Hywelbane II before retreating to the far corner of the room!

7th level spell sacced for 2 rounds of time stop.

[Anastasia]

Blade, blast, lightning and fists all make their mark on the Necrolyte. Afina's blade sends him down, dazed and trying to recover. A moment later, Sylvie is a blur as she lays into the other Necrolyte.

A blow to the cornugon's knee makes it stagger, giving Sylvie a chance to leap up and twist its neck swiftly, breaking it. Yet its still breathing, the broken bones starting to knit.

Free act, both are disabled and regenerating.

[Ebiris]

Sweeping her ball lightning around the room to ravage anything the magma didn't get, Afina flits over and efficiently stabs her holy and anarchic blade up the jaw and into the brain of each disabled cornugon.

[Anastasia]

The cornugons are soon naught but black glass on the ground, slain.

Looking around, you see there's another door on the opposite wall, just like before. It's closed and quiet. The coffins are aflame and burning, the figures within silently writhing as they burn and heal.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru takes a victory lap around the room, looking for tricks, traps, and loot!

[Anastasia]

No tricks or traps, though there is the Necrolyte's burning robes and a few things they dropped - a metal ingot engraved with runes, a small skull and a silver ring.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru eyes the items, depending on his Arcane Sight to let him know of any magic on them as he gathers all the stuff together in a pile.

"If there's anything anyone wants right away, let me know, otherwise I'll put it in storage for when we get back."

I forgot to add Greater Arcane Sight to my stat block, but it has a 24 minute duration.

[Anastasia]

All of the noted items are magic.

Spell notes it doesn't identify magical items, though it does at least let you know they are magic. Updating loot thread.

[Ebiris]

"Let's destroy these coffins," Afina says as their healing outpaces her damage so far, she focuses both ball lightnings on a single one to try and overcome it.

[Anastasia]

The coffins continue to burn. But as they do, you notice they rebuild and repair themselves with the same dogged determination as the creatures within. Ball lightning doesn't speed it up at all - they just heal all the same. Sylvie comes forward, wrinkling her nose and studying it.

> roll 1d20+50 Spellcraft for Sylvie
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+50 Spellcraft for Sylvie --> [ 1d20=6 ]{56}

Sylvie whistles after a few moments of study, "Not sure I have time to really get to the bottom of these, but there's some serious necromancy and transmutation going on here. Also some enchantment woven in."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru zips over and eyes the coffins after hearing the others talk about it, hoping his Arcane Sight will give some clue about them.

"Alright, everyone back into the last room," Afina says. Spending time puzzling devil nonsense out is what got Lief and Muirfinn killed. Once everyone's evacuated into the last necrolyte's study, Afina casts a disjunction spell into the room to ruin whatever magic is keeping everything together so that they can get to work on destroying it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru flies out with the others, keeping to the shadows as much as he can. He got all the loot already anyway, and really, that's what matters the most, isn't it?

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh dutifully follows Afina, deferring to the less-small pixie. Tryll keeps pace with Calleigh.
