Deeper into the void (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

This is split off from the void strike thread, this post in particular: http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103742.msg1065565.html#msg1065565

"Oh, I suppose..." Canderella begins, then hms. "Though it might be a welcome perspective change for her. Mira dear, you're feeling all sorts of new sensations and thoughts, aren't you?" Canderella asks, and then with a sigh and a glance at Hanna, "Ah, very well. Talos, I ask of you to fix it."

Mirajane suddenly feels better, her mind returning to what it should be as green light oozes out of her skin like oil.

Shaking her head, Hanna casts Life's Grace upon Mirajane and tells her to get going to Jaela as Adrian had ordered her to.

With that, the party heads onward and inward. Around the corner is a tall, narrow hallway with plenty of head space. Soon there's doors on either side, Adrian kicking one open. He glances in, "Living quarters," he announces, "The rest of the Necrolytes must be mounting a defense further in."

"Probably," Canderella agrees, flexing her fingers slowly. She rubs her wrists after, "Devils always like to make unneeded drama out of everything. Oh, let's make impenetrable defenses and plans to hide behind."

Mei merely shakes her head and keeps her eyes moving all the while.

But as he checks them, another door opens, one 30ft ahead. A Necrolyte emerges and raises a withered staff of wood up, "Submit or die!"

Init here.

Hanna charges in, but the Necrolyte dodges out of sheer instinct, her attack cutting through the wall instead.

Mei and the Necrolyte are up.

Mei looks on with glorious defiance, before pointing at the Necrolyte. A blast of holy power comes forth, shining white light that scorches the air around it with sheer vibrancy.

> roll 12d6+5
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 12d6+5 --> [ 12d6=44 ]{49}

Direct hit, right on the cornugon's stomach. It's knocked back as if it took a heavy blow there, staggering and coughing. "Offer your spirits!" It rasps, holding up its staff. The magic around Hanna collapses with a crystalline crackling, before a torrent of black energy engulfs her.

Detect Evil, True Seeing, and Mass Death Ward are dispelled on Hanna.

The black energy engulfs Hanna, but the protections around her fend it off. It breaks apart into mist around her, the planetar beneath unwounded.

Vivantha's up.

Wanting to finish this quickly, Vivantha calls upon her voice to strike the Necrolyte! She first weaves protections against acid for her allies and then strikes with the same!

Acid strikes the robed Necrolyte, eating through its black robe and sizzling on its skin. It visibly flinches from the pain, starting to chant again.

Initiative is Mei = Necrolyte = Hanna (23) > Vivantha (18) > Adrian (16) > Canderella (13)

Then like a shot, Adrian charges head on at the Necrolyte. Gaelach is raised above as he goes for one massive, deciding blow.

> roll 1d20+31 (+5 bard song, +1 haste, +1 heroes feast, +1 bard song, -22 PA)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+31 (+5 bard song, +1 haste, +1 heroes feast, +1 bard song, -22 PA) --> [ 1d20=1 ]{32}

Adrian brings it down in a chop to bisect the cornugon from head to toe - but is a little early, cutting empty air instead of his target. Canderella meanwhile looks on, "Goodbye," she greets the cornugon, pointing right at it. Three motes of electric moonlight fly for it, from over Canderella's head to right at it.

> roll 1d20+36 SR irrelevant
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+36 SR irrelevant --> [ 1d20=17 ]{53}
> roll 1d20 only misses on a 1

> roll 30d6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 30d6 --> [ 30d6=100 ]{100}

The cornugon's struck head on by that shot, falling over and stunned by the assault. It's not moving, though not dead.

Free act for the moment, regen's working but it doesn't get above its nonlethal threshold this turn. Previous bardsongs are now expired.

Adrian does just that - a short, efficient chop that separates head from body. The Necrolyte dissolves into volcanic glass, gone. His staff remains, Adrian eyeing that, "Hanna, get the staff in your bag of holding. The rest of you, check rooms and keep moving. Grab things at your discretion, but don't get tied down."

From here, it's a flurry of moving, checking and examining.

Search checks, all.
