A world's support

[Anastasia]

A discordant, miserable melody fills the air - but it is enough, the creature before you seeming to slow. Cresiel heals the last of his injuries with a flush of power, guarding Moore.

Cresiel is holding to possibly move and take an attack on Moore if need be, because he doesn't want Moore getting wrecked by that level of bullshit. Kaja.

Kaja bounds on in, grinning and showing far too many sharp teeth. "A real challenge, is it?" he declares, Gem and Gold coming down as he races in, the two colliding and...!

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 75 > [d20=13]

Yet the vampire's movements are too fluid. It's like striking smoke, curling out of the way with impossible grace. In return Learner brings his hands together, a mighty CLAP that resonates through the air like a shock of static electricity.

Fort, all.

Cresiel is dazed 5 rounds.

The clap resonates in the room, the sound of it strangely wrong. It leaves Cresiel stumbling and reeling from the sound, as he glides back and draws strange symbols in the air with his fingers. It's painful to look at as he intones, "Carrion Princess, Pale Mother, Blind Child, you shall obey my will in this and bring forth blood. Let them be the sacrifice to me!" Around Kaja they gather, a dozen biting, fanged mouths that - !!!

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 76 > [d20=5]

Lucky Kaja.

Yet the fanged mouths narrowly miss, biting away but somehow Kaja manages to dodge. He gives ground and space, avoiding the sudden assault as suddenly he again chants, "As I made the offering once, obey me again! Let them be the sacrifice to me!" This time the mouths form around Xandra, biting away at her.

That hits.

Is Xandra currently protected from ability damage? I don't think she is, but just making sure.

[Nephrite]

Yes, we cast both Life's Grace as well as Death Ward before we left. :)

Also I don't know if this is touch or not, but Life's grace may tilt the armor high enough that it doesn't hit? Not sure there.

[Anastasia]

Life's grace is enough to block the 18 Con damage.

The fangs bite away, yet nothing happens as...

Xandra'n'Jetina, go.

[Nephrite]

"Kaja, just focus on hitting him!" Moore shouts.

Jetina is going to cast Superb Dispelling. I believe that's 22 spells?

Eat it, stupid vampire.

[Nephrite]

Xandra's open to options here -- if all ranged touch spells are out that's going to stop a lot of her stuff.

[Anastasia]

Magic crumbles around the vampire like a cascade of glorious fire, as...

Up to Xandra here. Admittedly improved evasion + exceptional deflection can be tough to deal with.

[Nephrite]

In that case, she will pelt him with a Sandalphon's Unerring Projectile.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d3+48 : 2 + 48, total 50[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

The unerring projectile hits solid and hard, momentarily knocking the vampire back. It's just enough to buy you a minute as...

Go Moore.

[Nephrite]

Did I miss Kajas turn?

[Anastasia]

Yes, he attacked and missed.

[Nephrite]

Somehow I thought that happened before.

Moore puts a hand on Cresiel to restore him!

Heal, should top him off and remove the stun.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel rises shakily, his daze passing as he manages, "My thanks," he says, as...

That it for you? Just to be clear since it's a serious fight.

[Nephrite]

Edit to add a swift action of Sing the Holy Choir, and use his movement to redo Inspire Heroics.

[blockquote]Rolled 10d8 : 2, 3, 6, 5, 4, 6, 5, 2, 2, 3, total 38[/blockquote] This is the Temp HP. I think only Cresiel needs a refresh on it?
