The Hanged Raven (Ithea)

[Merc]

Inspiration for AC? I thought I had to decide that during my turn, in which case it should be too late anyway? Let's say no though.

Damage reduction applies.

Ithea is utterly ravaged by the ravens, pecked and clawed all over. They leave her bloodied as she tries to breathe in vain, as...

Go.

[Merc]

Can I tell what she used as an interrupt to block rest of the attacks? Do I know if the Holy Power effect did anything with NL? I'm still not clear on whether it crit or not. Did I spot anything that might have looked like a core or something? Exploding/reforming enemies tend to have those in all anime and manga!

I'm assuming the VT triggered since I got a 20 on SR check and I got temp HP from it, so my current HP reflects that.

Ithea thinks she used some sort of supernatural abilities. You can't really disrupt that sort of thing, unfortunately. You can't tell about holy power - she didn't react to the damage you did, which is unusual. You scored a hit, but her body didn't (or perhaps couldn't) show a reaction beyond the injury. You do think you landed a solid bow and OOC it was a crit, yes. Nothing core-like.

Yes Ithea, vampiric touch triggered.

[Merc]

Ithea has little recourse but to hope that her glaive's one strike weakened the Hanged Raven. Unfortunately, she can't follow up at the distance they're apart so clicking her boots to turn off the haste effect momentarily while its unneeded, she moves towards the demon.

Then after, Ithea casts another Polar Ray followed by attempting to use her anarch abilities to see if the demon's anarch abilities have weakened any. This time she focuses on her allies instead of felines, trying to guide them to her from wherever they are.

[Anastasia]

Ithea's polar ray hits home, freezing the stomach of the Hanged Raven over. Cracks lined with ice spread over her body, as if an ice carving hit just a little too hard. This time the darkness fades away, the Hanged Raven going with it. You hear gasping all around, the soldiers of your strike force taking deep, heaving breaths of air. Some of the attackers and even the nearby daemons and demons are doing the same.

You seem to have managed to force her away. The noose is gone and you can breathe freely. Free act for the moment.

[Merc]

Ithea looks for signs of the celestial that Tryll was in communication with (Bell was it?) after giving a quick glance at her team and making sure they're okay.

Wherever she sees a bunch of the celestial warriors, she calls out, "Jaela is breaking through, our group came back to lend a hand with the Hanged Raven! I managed to overpower her anarch abilities and drove her out for the time being! Everyone alright?"

Then glancing over to the daemons/demons, "And are we going to keep having problems?"

As she says that, she uses her Anarch powers to try and focus on the army of summoned felines, bringing them back to view hopefully.

[Anastasia]

The felines appear at Ithea's command. Meanwhile the others are still gasping for air - no one's in shape to fight at the moment, ally or enemy.

[Merc]

"...I'll chalk that up to a 'Yes, Miss Ithea, we'll behave for now', I think," Ithea declares, and then concentrates to see if she can sense the Hanged Raven at all through her anarch powers. It's possible she might have run off, sure, it's also possible she used the opportunity to go around her and head after Jaela's group.

[16:09] <Dark_Mercury> roll d20+8+8
[16:09] <Penuche> Dark_Mercury invokes Penuche's magic: < 36 > [d20=20]

[Anastasia]

You don't see any sign of her or anything. Seems to be gone or at least out of sight and mind.

[Merc]

Ithea decides to wait to let everyone catch their breath. At the first sign of killing intent or raised weapon from the demons though, she's firing a wave of fatigue and then commanding the felines to pile on them.

[Anastasia]

Sure enough, the moment all sides begin to recover, battle resumes. The silence is broken by the battle, Ithea trying to command the chaos around her.

Wis check, Ithea. Anarch times. +2 bonus.
