[22:51] <Kotono> Lyris looks about and slows, then over to Whurric. She bows her head a moment, "Another body at Senaril's feet. At Shar's feet."
[22:51] * Arachiel hurries over to Whurric to see if anything can be done to save him!
[22:52] <Kotono> Whurric is plummeled and broken. It doesn't take a cleric to see that his mortal vessel is dead, dead, dead.
[22:52] * Aaeru just breathes rapidly as she comes down from her rush of adrenaline. "Healing potions?" she voices. "This is the time. For... for all of them, just about."
[22:52] <Kotono> Josa looks on, face stricken. He reddens and turns his gaze away. A plump fist hits his side, "Senaril..." he grinds it out, "How much healing do we have left?"
[22:52] * Arachiel immediately starts to cry! "Whyyyyyyy?"
[22:53] <Kotono> "Eight," Sylvie says quietly, coughing and hacking. She starts to take them, swallowing one after another.
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 4d8+4 for the moment.
[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+4 for the moment. and gets 17." [4d8=5, 5, 2, 1]
[22:53] <Kotono> After a pause and delibration, she drinks two more.
[22:53] <Kotono> roll 2d8+2
[22:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d8+2 and gets 9." [2d8=4, 3]
[22:54] <Kotono> "Two left," Sylvie announces after that, "Is anyone badly wounded?"
[22:54] <Kotono> "I have five," Josa announces, "Who needs them?"
[22:54] <Kotono> Marianne shakes her head, "I am afraid not."
[22:55] <Aaeru> "Sylvie, first," Aaeru tells him. "And one for Neve, too."
[22:55] * Arachiel sniffles and shakes her head, then offering up a prayer to the host of Celestia to guard Whurric's soul from the evil of this place.
[22:55] <Kotono> Sylvie's last two potions are thus split, one for her and one for Neve.
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1 Sylvie
[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 Sylvie and gets 7." [1d8=6]
[22:55] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1 Neve
[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 Neve and gets 6." [1d8=5]
[22:56] <Kotono> Josa passes two to Aaeru and one more to Sylvie, then one to Lyris and Marianne each, "Drink," he commands.
[22:56] * Aaeru eyes Sylvie worriedly, but doesn't object this time. She will be the one at the front, it seems, by mere elimination.
[22:56] <Aaeru> roll 2d8+2
[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 2d8+2 and gets 12." [2d8=5, 5]
[22:56] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1 Sylvie
[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 Sylvie and gets 4." [1d8=3]
[22:56] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1 lyris
[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 lyris and gets 8." [1d8=7]
[22:56] <Kotono> roll 1d8+1 Marianne
[22:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8+1 Marianne and gets 9." [1d8=8]
[22:57] <Kotono> Once done, "Elf-Father willing, Senaril is ahead," Josa announces, "By all the strength we have left, let us bring vengence to her!"
[22:58] * Aaeru picks up Whurric, and then casts her final spell of value and proceeds ahead.
[22:58] <Aaeru> roll 1d4+2 MI
[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d4+2 MI and gets 5." [1d4=3]
[22:58] <Janson> Sylvie casts mirror image as well! And shield!
[22:58] <Kotono> Josa comes over to Arachiel, patting her shoulders, "I don't think there is a why with Shar," he says, face sagging a moment. "Gods preserve us."
[22:59] <Janson> roll 1d4
[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Janson rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[23:00] * Arachiel nods and wipes her face, standing. "We have to kill Senaril. We have to! For Whurric, and Orval, and Yuria! And Janson too, if he's dead!"
[23:00] <Kotono> Ahead the party travels! Through winding halls and faint song, going on too long and too short both. It seems to rise out of the hall as you walk - ahead of you lies doors. Doors overlaid with the black symbol of Shar, watching in painted hatred.
[23:00] * Aaeru kicks those doors wide open!
[23:00] * Arachiel quietly passes her two potions of Lesser Restoration to Neve.
[23:03] <Kotono> Thus the doors are kicked open as potions are passed to Neveril! Ahead is is a throne. A throne of complete shadow and darkness. It is 40ft away. Around it stand two shadows, watching. Sitting on it is a third shadow, howling in a chillingly familiar voice. It's face shimmers...in it you see Janson's face! It asks but a single question with a pained howl, "Why? WHY!?" OOC: Make spot all before
[23:03] <Kotono> anything else.
[23:03] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+9
[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+9 and gets 21." [1d20=12]
[23:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 14." [1d20=5]
[23:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[23:04] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+3 Neve
[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 18." [1d20=8]
[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+3 Neve and gets 8." [1d20=5]
[23:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20 Marianne
[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 Marianne and gets 14." [1d20=14]
[23:04] <Janson> roll 1d20+1 sylvie
[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Janson rolls 1d20+1 sylvie and gets 2." [1d20=1]
[23:04] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11
[23:04] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+11 and gets 21." [1d20=10]
[23:04] <Kotono> OOC: Act.
[23:06] <Arachiel> "...Janson? Oh no!" Arachiel gasps.

[20:22] <Ebiris> roll 1d20+8 Sylvie
[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d20+8 Sylvie and gets 10." [1d20=2]
[20:23] <Aaeru> "Through them!" Aaeru calls, hefting her unusual burden. "To the throne!"
[20:23] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+4
[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+4 and gets 9." [1d20=5]

[19:52] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+2 Shadow 2

[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+4 ???? and gets 6." [1d20=2]

[19:54] <Kozzz> OOC: To refresh on location...
[19:54] <Kozzz> Thus the doors are kicked open as potions are passed to Neveril! Ahead is is a throne. A throne of complete shadow and darkness. It is 40ft away. Around it stand two shadows, watching. Sitting on it is a third shadow, howling in a chillingly familiar voice. It's face shimmers...in it you see Janson's face! It asks but a single question with a pained howl, "Why? WHY!?"
[19:54] <Kozzz> OOC: Lyris and Arachiel open. Large sized Aaeru is just at the broken door since she did the whole kick it down thang.
[19:55] <Aaeru> "Put them to rest!" Aaeru cries, as they find themselves faced with shadows at last. "One at a time!"
[19:56] <Kozzz> Lyris holds her position behind Aaeru, two darts flying at the Janson-shadow even as her color turns pale and her lips curl in fury!
[19:56] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+12
[19:56] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+12
[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+12 and gets 26." [1d20=14]
[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+12 and gets 19." [1d20=7]
[19:57] <Kozzz> roll 1d100
[19:57] <Kozzz> roll 1d100
[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 and gets 49." [1d100=49]
[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 and gets 77." [1d100=77]
[19:57] <Kozzz> roll 1d4+4
[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d4+4 and gets 6." [1d4=2]
[19:58] <Kozzz> Two darts fly, whizzing past Aaeru's head! One misses Janson's shade by an inch, while another goes throughit's center! The shadowy remnant flickers at this, the dart seeming to scrape semi-real shadowstuff from it's body! OOC: Arachiel.
[20:01] * Arachiel focuses on the same target, hoping to take Janson's disturbed soul down quickly and mercifully!
[20:01] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11
[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+11 and gets 17." [1d20=6]
[20:02] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11

[20:02] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+6
[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+6 and gets 10." [1d20=4]
[20:02] <Kozzz> OOC: Two hits. d100 on both.
[20:02] <Arachiel> OOC: +4 on any shot after a miss.
[20:02] <Arachiel> roll d100
[20:02] <Arachiel> roll d100
[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls d100 and gets 79." [d100=79]
[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls d100 and gets 77." [d100=77]
[20:02] <Kozzz> OOC: Two hits.
[20:02] <Arachiel> roll 2d10+12
[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 2d10+12 and gets 21." [2d10=8, 1]
[20:03] <Kozzz> Twin arrows fly through Janson, sticking in his center! The ghostly shadow flickers even more, a howl of agony erupting from his throat! At this the first shadow comes charging forward at Aaeru, seeking to claim her life! OOC: You have reach on it, you can AoO it as you like.
[20:04] * Aaeru cleaves through it with Whurric's axe!
[20:04] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+13
[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+13 and gets 22." [1d20=9]
[20:04] <Aaeru> roll 1d12+6
[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d12+6 and gets 9." [1d12=3]
[20:05] <Kozzz> Part of the shadow's shoulder is hacked away, even as it dives at Aaeru to claim her sweet, sweet life!
[20:05] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+7 AC?
[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+7 AC? and gets 10." [1d20=3]
[20:05] <Kozzz> OOC: Touch AC, rather.
[20:05] <Aaeru> OOC: AC17 as flat-footed
[20:06] <Aaeru> OOC: Touch, yes, in case you're waiting on me
[20:06] <Kozzz> The shadow closes in, but Aaeru dodges without reacting, her body automatically avoiding the touch! A split second later, a voice from above is heard as...
[20:07] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+15 touch AC, Aaeru
[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+15 touch AC, Aaeru and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[20:07] <Aaeru> OOC: Still 17 while flat-footed, 5 images
[20:07] <Kozzz> roll 1d6
[20:07] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d6 and gets 2." [1d6=2]
[20:09] <Kozzz> Froma bove death comes! A great lance of ice slams down through one of the Aaeru's, a fingersnap heard after! Above you she can be seen, standing on the wall vertical, as if gravity does not matter. Senaril is 25ft up, tendrils of cold gathering around her outstretched hand, "Here Janson just wants to say hello to his friends!" She wears familiar clothes - the bloodied armor and skirt of Yuria!
[20:09] <Kozzz> OOC: Neveril and Sylvie.
[20:09] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril=Shadow 1(15)>Neveril=Sylvie(10)>Aaeru(9)>Shadow 2(7)>????2(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)>Janson Shadow(3)'
[20:10] <Aaeru> Neve quickly pours the contents of her waterskin on the ground beside her, and with an application of her will, a human-sized water elemental forms out of it! As the elemental rises, Neve commands it to wait for the next attack of a shadow lingering by the throne. It is to wait until then and do all in its power to harrass it and prevent it from reaching its destination!
[20:10] <Aaeru> OOC: Water devotion, medium water elemental, orders are clear?
[20:10] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril=Shadow 1(15)>Neveril=Sylvie=Water Elemental(10)>Aaeru(9)>Shadow 2(7)>????2(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)>Janson Shadow(3)'
[20:10] <Kozzz> OOC: Okay, basically hold and interpose if another shadow comes at Aaeru?
[20:10] <Aaeru> OOC: Or at anyone in the group, yes
[20:10] <Kozzz> OOC: Right. Okay. Sylvie's up.
[20:11] <Ebiris> Sylvie snarls something unintelligible and hurls a single magic missile at Shadow Janson to try and put him out of his misery!
[20:11] <Ebiris> roll 1d4+1
[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d4+1 and gets 2." [1d4=1]
[20:11] <Kozzz> A single dart of magic flies through Janson as he flickers again! Slowly the shadow begins to fade away, Janson's voice heard murmuring, "Sylvie...!" before it fades entirely! OOC: Aaeru.
[20:11] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril=Shadow 1(15)>Neveril=Sylvie=Water Elemental(10)>Aaeru(9)>Shadow 2(7)>????2(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)'
[20:12] <Aaeru> "By all that is holy," Aaeru swears, raising her eyes towards Senaril's floating form. "You will die for good."
[20:12] <Aaeru> But she can't waste too much time staring up, not when there is a shadow right by her, and Whurric's axe flashes out twice at her opponent.
[20:13] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+13
[20:13] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+8
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+13 and gets 17." [1d20=4]
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+8 and gets 12." [1d20=4]
[20:13] <Kozzz> OOC: One hit.
[20:13] <Aaeru> roll 1d12+8 strength devotion
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d12+8 strength devotion and gets 15." [1d12=7]
[20:15] <Kozzz> Swinging the axe out with all her might, Aaeru cuts through the shadow again! The blow is enough to make the shadow step back thrice, leaking shadowy miasma all over the room! At this the second shadow comes forward! At the same moment the su mmoned elemental comes forth, the two meeting halfway, 15ft from Aaeru! OOC: Is the elemental attacking or just interposing?
[20:15] <Aaeru> OOC: Just moving. Defensively, if it can.
[20:15] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+7 touch AC for the elemental?
[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+7 touch AC for the elemental? and gets 10." [1d20=3]
[20:15] <Aaeru> OOC: 11 normally!
[20:16] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril=Shadow 1(15)>Neveril=Sylviel(10)>Aaeru(9)>Shadow 2=Water Elemental(7)>????2(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)'
[20:17] <Kozzz> The shadow comes up before the elemental, but can't quite seem to grasp the watery obsticle! At this you can hear a gentle cough from behind the party. "Excuse me, may I cut in? These shadows offend me."
[20:17] * Aaeru whirls about furiously to see who had snuck up on them!
[20:18] <Arachiel> "Huh?" Arachiel turns her head to see!
[20:19] <Kozzz> Behind you stands a robed cultist. His hood is down - he is a deeply tanned man of the Fiefdoms, head shaved bare. In his hand he holds a silver symbol, shrouded in light. His eyes are clear blue, "May I? It would be best if these shadows are put to rest now."
[20:20] * Aaeru stares at him incredulously. "You need, like, an invitation? Do it!"
[20:21] <Arachiel> "Yes, please!" Arachiel looks at him with a desperate smile.
[20:21] <Kozzz> The man steps forward, holding the gleaming symbol up. He clears his throat once, before radiance erupts around you! Sunlight steams in, as if the shadows had been chased back! Life energy floods the area along with sunlight, the shadows shrieking!
[20:22] <Kozzz> roll 4d6 healing to the living, damage to the undead. Saves coming.
[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 4d6 healing to the living, damage to the undead. Saves coming. and gets 19." [4d6=3, 5, 6, 5]
[20:22] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+5
[20:22] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+5
[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+5 and gets 25." [1d20=20]
[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+5 and gets 24." [1d20=19]
[20:22] <Kozzz> Both shadows shriek at the power that fills the room, sunlight streaming all around you! At this...OOC: Marianne's up.
[20:25] <Kozzz> Marianne glances at the man as wounds heal, taking this chance to fly in around Aaeru! She glares up at Senaril, gesturing quickly, "That is MY spell!" she snaps, as a lance of ice forms and fires at the nymph!
[20:25] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+12
[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+12 and gets 29." [1d20=17]
[20:25] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+21 fort

[20:26] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+8
[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+8 and gets 21." [1d20=13]
[20:27] <Kozzz> The lance of ice flies up, Senaril grazed! She just grins back fearlessly in reply, as...OOC: Fort save, Marianne and Aaeru. She turned on Blinding Beauty. Others can't see her yet unless they enter the room.
[20:27] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+9 fort
[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+9 fort and gets 24." [1d20=15]

[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+17 and gets 32." [1d20=15]
[20:28] <Kozzz> But this time the eyes stand true, resisting the too beautiful visage! OOC: Josa.
[20:29] <Kozzz> Josa stays back, gesturing wildly! In his hand a ball of flame forms, hurtled out! The orb of fire flies at the second shadow as it wrestles with the water elemental!
[20:29] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+2 Janson's dilemma with melee shootin'.
[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+2 Janson's dilemma with melee shootin'. and gets 6." [1d20=4]
[20:29] <Kozzz> But the orb flies errant, scorching the throne and missing it's target! OOC: Lyris and Arachiel.
[20:30] <Kozzz> Lyris stays bakc and fires more darts, a moment to nod at the robed man, "Thank you," she manages, as two darts fly at the shadow in front of Aaeru!

[20:31] <Kozzz> Two darts fly, both ripping through the head of the shadow! With a longing side it dissipates, fading away into the ether! OOC: Arachiel.
[20:31] * Arachiel snaps off a round of arrows at the shadow clashing with the elemental!
[20:31] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11

[20:34] <Kozzz> Arrwos fly, peppering the shadow! Like a bad dream it fades away in the sunlight all around you, vanquished forevermore! At this Senaril smirks, reality tearing around her! She steps into it, vanishing! OOC: Neveril and Sylvie, go.
[20:35] <Aaeru> Neve musters her patience and waits for a chance to act.
[20:35] <Ebiris> "Dammit, where did she go?!" Sylvie demands, turning around to cover their rears.
[20:35] <Kozzz> At this Sylvie sees Senaril, just behind the party! She has a horrible smirk on her faces, maces drawn! "Time to do some damage!" she declares, with a smile ear to ear! OOC: Fortitude save, Sylvie.
[20:36] <Ebiris> roll 1d20+16 cunning inspiration
[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d20+16 cunning inspiration and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[20:36] <Kozzz> But Sylvie resists the horrible image of the nymph, her eyes watering but staying true! OOC: Go Sylvie.
[20:38] <Ebiris> "Damage this you bitch!" Sylvie cries, clutching at a glowing red ruby in her pocket and hurling it at the nymph's feet! It explodes in a violent rush of flame, coalescing into a hulking humanoid shape that immediately lays into the Sharran with flaming fists aimed at ruining her beauty with horrific burns!

[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d20+10 and gets 13." [1d20=3]

[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+21 ref and gets 39." [1d20=18]
[20:40] <Kozzz> The elemental springs to life, looming over Senaril! The blazing inferno of a creature slams it's fist into her face, a sizzle of burning flesh as the nymph stumbles back from the blow! OOC: Aaeru.
[20:41] <Kozzz> OOC: Strike that as ec.
[20:41] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril(15)>Neveril=Sylvie=Fire Elemental=Robed Man(10)>Aaeru(9)>Water Elemental(7)>????2(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)'

[20:42] <Kozzz> OOC: Right, carry on Aaeru.
[20:43] <Aaeru> With Sylvie showing her the way, Aaeru follows! She looks about ready to lunge at the nymph with her borrowed axe, but drops it and Whurric's corpse just short of her goal and suddenly kicks out at Senaril's right mace!
[20:43] <Aaeru> roll 1d20+17 heroism, disarm, staying at 10ft away from her
[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Aaeru rolls 1d20+17 heroism, disarm, staying at 10ft away from her and gets 34." [1d20=17]
[20:44] <Kozzz> OOC: Her heavy or light mace?
[20:44] <Aaeru> OOC: Whichever is in her right hand
[20:45] <Kozzz> With a quicks nap of her feet Senaril's heavy, toothy mace is knocked out of her hand! OOC: Water elemental, go.
[20:45] <Aaeru> Neve, meanwhile knows better than to look at Senaril's ugly mug. She draws closer to Sylvie, instead, keeping her eyes to the ground and whispers emphatically, "Please, make this count!" while turning the blonde invisible.
[20:45] * Kozzz changes topic to 'Lyris=Arachiel(20)>Senaril(15)>Sylvie=Fire Elemental(10)>Aaeru(9)>Neveril=Water Elemental(7)>Robed Man(6)>Marianne(5)>Josa(4)'
[20:46] <Aaeru> The water elemental rushes past Senaril to cut off her retreat!
[20:47] <Aaeru> OOC: To flank her with the fire elemental, etc, does she AoO it?
[20:47] <Kozzz> OOC: She'llg ive it a swing.

[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d6+1 and gets 3." [1d6=2]
[20:48] <Aaeru> OOC: AC20 normally, I give it 22 vs evil
[20:48] <Kozzz> Senaril takes a quick swing at the elemental, but the blow misses by a tiny bit!
[20:49] <Kozzz> The robed man nods once, "Dark Justicar," he pronounces, raising his voice! It is a strong voice of good timbre, pointing a finger forward as a burst of pure white energy covers her, at the same time the sunlight fades down, "Begone from this world and never again trouble us!"
[20:49] <Kozzz> roll 4d8
[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 4d8 and gets 5." [4d8=1, 2, 1, 1]

[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+21 uguu and gets 22." [1d20=1]
[20:50] <Kozzz> In that flash of holy light Senaril screams! She staggers, empty hand clutching at her face "You little SHIT," she screams, "My eyes!" OOC: Marianne.
[20:50] * Aaeru feel a strong satisfaction, as if a little bit of justice had just been served!
[20:51] <Kozzz> Marianne falls back 35 feet into the room, forming another lance of ice at the stunned nymph! She says not a word as she takes this chance and fires!

[20:51] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 6d6 and gets 24." [6d6=2, 6, 6, 2, 6, 2]
[20:52] <Kozzz> With a direct stab in the stomach from the lance of ice, Senaril staggers back further! She is bloodied and blind, but yet still up! Josa hurries back as well, holding and waiting! OOC: Josa can't do much since his only good spell left is fireball. Lyris'n'Arachiel.
[20:53] <Kozzz> Lyris runs back as well, digging deeper in her pouch! A dab ofs omething is added as she lets two more darts fly like the wind!
[20:53] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+12
[20:53] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+12

[20:53] * Arachiel turns and carefully lines up a shot, using the others and elementals as cover to set up a shot at Senaril's chest! OOC: Hoping to avoid blinding beauty, if it still applies.

[20:53] <Kozzz> roll 1d20+21
[20:53] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d20+21 and gets 33." [1d20=12]
[20:54] <Kozzz> OOC: You're a native outsider, not a humanoid. You're immune.
[20:54] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11
[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+11 and gets 16." [1d20=5]
[20:55] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+11
[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+11 and gets 18." [1d20=7]
[20:55] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+6

[20:55] <Arachiel> roll 1d20+6 to confirm
[20:55] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 1d20+6 to confirm and gets 23." [1d20=17]
[20:57] <Kozzz> OOC: Are you using adjust for aim as normal?
[20:57] <Arachiel> OOC: Yes
[20:57] <Kozzz> OOC: One hit and one crit.
[20:58] <Kozzz> OOC: x3 crit, remember.
[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Arachiel rolls 4d10+24 and gets 54." [4d10=10, 4, 10, 6]
[20:59] <Kozzz> With a masterful shot Arachiel fires! The arrow flies true, going straight into her chest! Right through the center, piercing her black heart! Senaril staggers a moment and then screams, body slumping down! A rancid black, flowing ooze gushes out of her mouth, flying to Whurric! It flies to the orb in his pocket, shaking his entire body before going still! OOC: Free act. Nice shot.

[21:00] * Aaeru just stands there, before returning to her normal size and picking up the important orb.
[21:01] <Kozzz> The robed man exhales once, "Be never again a blight on this world," he murmurs with a bowed head, before looking up. "You're Whimsical Sweets, the target of the Dark Justicar's obsession?"
[21:02] * Arachiel pumps her fist in victory for a moment, before relaxing and sighing. "I suppose we are."
[21:02] <Kozzz> Josa nods once, "A trying and costly victory, but we are; for we stand triumphant and united."
[21:04] <Aaeru> "I'm Aaeru," she decides to introduce herself to this... monk? For a change not caring about appearance of the blood and dirt covering all over her, Aaeru asks him, "Who are you?"
[21:04] <Kozzz> "Cran," He offers a hand out, "Infiltrator," That gets the start of a toothy-white smile going, "Long story short, I was sent in to ascertain what the monks of the Dark Moon were up to...and then Senaril came and changed everything."
[21:05] * Aaeru takes that hand without hesitation. "She was a horrible person."
[21:06] <Kozzz> "There's still remnants around, but the reports I heard said that you broke the monks and the main fighting force. Opposition should be minimal to non-existant now." His grip is strong, pumping Aaeru's hand, "I put to rest the reserves of undead while you fought the Dark Moon monks. We should be safe now."
[21:06] <Arachiel> "She was very evil! We had to kill her!"
[21:07] <Kozzz> Sylvie doesn't say anything to this. She turns her gaze back to the throne room, far away.
[21:07] <Aaeru> "That Master... I think he said those were the last monks," Aaeru offers. Though this man is here, so he might have been lying. "If you were here, do you, like, know if she kept any souls? Or how to free them?"
[21:08] * Arachiel turns to Sylvie and hugs her. "It's not over yet. Gods willing, we might be able to bring him back. Do you know if he worshipped any particular diety? I know that they can be merciful sometimes."
[21:09] <Kozzz> "Nothing like that, I think. The Master of the Order wasn't interested in that. Senaril may have been, but she hadn't been deeply established yet." After that, "Let us gather what we will here and leave this cursed realm. I know the way to the treasures, should you care for them."
[21:09] <Kozzz> Sylvie looks to Arachiel, "Jannath. Chauntea is more precise, Jannath is the version his hometown reveres. I was just thinking that...dammit, Janson, you're not leaving me."
[21:10] * Arachiel grins. "Not without a fight!"
[21:10] <Aaeru> "Call me if you need something destroyed," Aaeru says, slowly drawing more distant as her adrenaline wanes.
[21:25] <Kozzz> Cleaning out the temple passes in a blur. Securing yourselves outside and getting rest happens without incident. Sleep comes fast despite the stresses of the day. The next morning Sylvie is prepared, the early morning's sunlight bright. "Alright," she clears her throat to the assembled. Her eyes are bloodshot, but it doesn't stop her. "This is for Whurric," she holds up a scroll, "If any of you
[21:25] <Kozzz> have anythign to add before that..."
[21:26] <Aaeru> "It goes against my vows," Aaeru says gravely at that invitation, "but I broke them myself just then. Go ahead."
[21:29] <Kozzz> "It is for the best," Josa declares, "That we must try."
[21:29] <Kozzz> Cran sits a little away from the party, watching for the moment.
[21:34] <Kozzz> With that Sylvie bows her head and reads the scroll, intoning powerful prayers for a new life! OOC: 1d100, Merc. 1-50 is the range you need to hit.

[21:35] <Whurric> roll d100
[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Whurric rolls d100 and gets 44." [d100=44]
[21:35] <Kozzz> OOC: Success! d100 for what you reincarnate into.
[21:35] <Whurric> roll d100
[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Whurric rolls d100 and gets 85." [d100=85]
[21:35] <Kozzz> OOC: Human! Make the relevant stat changes; see reincarnate in the SRD for more guidance.
[21:37] <Kozzz> OOC: 1d100 as well for chance of change from resurrection, range is 1-20 on this.
[21:39] <Whurric> roll d100
[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Whurric rolls d100 and gets 20." [d100=20]
[21:39] <Kozzz> OOC: Hit it on the nose. d100.
[21:40] <Whurric> roll d100 again? =p
[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Whurric rolls d100 again? =p and gets 50." [d100=50]
[21:40] <Kozzz> OOC: Mmm. Reroll that, it doesn't quite make sense with how the Well of Souls works.
[21:41] <Whurric> roll d100 and again!
[21:41] * Hatbot --> "Whurric rolls d100 and again! and gets 64." [d100=64]

[21:42] <Kozzz> The sky turns dark as the ground shakes, the scroll burning away! In a heavy thunderclap a flash of light blinds you! When your eyes clear a human rests before Sylvie! He is a little over 5 feet tall and muscular as can be, skin a pallid, unearthly white! He takes a breath as his eyes open, awareness coming to Whurric once more!
[21:43] * Aaeru steps back warily.
[21:44] * Arachiel blinks. "That's not how it normally works.
[21:44] <Arachiel> Is Reincarnation different?"
[21:44] <Whurric> "...wha-huh?" Whurric looks around in surprise and a little confused.
[21:45] <Aaeru> "Are you a zombie?" Aaeru is forced to ask.
[21:45] <Kozzz> Sylvie steps back at that, "Whurric?"
[21:46] <Whurric> "I don't feel like eating your brain, lass, so I'd say I'm most certainly not!" Whurric says, still trying to process his memories. "And yes, that's me..."
[21:46] <Arachiel> "He's taller! And human!" Arachiel walks around Whurric. "Kind of like what I went through to become mortal, huh?"
[21:48] * Whurric frowns and nods again. "...yes. You were reborn to fight Senaril," he mutters, and his eyes widen as more of his old memories hit him. "The fey! I need to see her dead!"
[21:48] <Kozzz> "You're back," Sylvie exhales long, "We won...we'll tell you more later, but we have to hurry right now. Don't worry, she's dead."
[21:48] <Whurric> "..truly?"
[21:49] <Arachiel> "We got her! There were elementals and Aaeru was really huge and used you to hit her with your axe and I shot Senaril in the chest with an arrow and she died!"
[21:49] <Kozzz> "Truly," Marianne murmurs, "Arachiel got her with an arrow in the heart."
[21:49] <Aaeru> "And we got her soul in an orb. But... well... Janson died too...."
[21:50] * Arachiel instantly switches emotions and nots sadly.
[21:50] <Arachiel> nods*
[21:50] <Kozzz> Sylvie's gaze turns away, "That's why we have to hurry," Sylvie whispers, "We have to hurry back so we can get him back. Let's go," Abruptly she rises, "Now."
[21:51] <Whurric> "Then you completed your mission. Good lass," Whurric says approvingly to the former archon, and frowns. "Wait, Janson's dead as well? Now why'd you bring me back instead of him?" he asks, pausing to glance at Sylvie. "I can't complain, but...I'm sure he's missed more than I..."
[21:51] <Aaeru> Already standing, Aaeru finds herself by Sylvie's side in a heartbeat.
[21:51] <Whurric> "Oh."
[21:51] * Whurric nods, and says nothing more.
[21:51] <Kozzz> "...Reincarnation won't work on someone turned into a shadow," Sylvie says quietly, "So let's just go, alright?"
[21:52] * Arachiel claps Whurric on the shoulder. "Glad you're back. Let's go get the others back now!"
[21:52] <Kozzz> roll 1d100
[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 and gets 83." [1d100=83]
[21:52] <Kozzz> roll 1d100
[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 and gets 57." [1d100=57]
[21:53] <Kozzz> The rest of the trip passes in a blur. The party hurries as much as they can, another day passing before you return to Wetwind Harbor. A simple teleport from there leads you back to Balmuria. It's a hasty trip to the Lunatics. On knocking on the gates you soon find Balyss, "Did you get her," she asks as everyone enters.
[21:54] * Aaeru hands Balyss the orb with Senaril's soul in answer.
[21:54] <Arachiel> "Make sure she never gets out of that thing!"
[21:54] <Kozzz> The eyes of the Lunatic light up as she takes the orb, "Got her," A grin spreads onto her face, "Congratulations! This calls for a celebration!"
[21:54] <Kozzz> "Not yet," Sylvie says, shaking her head, "We need your help, Balyss. Janson, Yuria and Orval need your help."
[21:55] <Kozzz> "They fell in pursuit of Senaril," Josa clears his throat, "We would like to bring them back, if it is so fated."
[21:56] * Arachiel nods. "They died doing the right thing! I'm sure the gods will let them come back!"
[21:57] <Kozzz> At that Balyss nods, "Alright. They've been dead less than a week?" After Sylvie's nod to that, "What we're going to do is cast divinations to see if a resurrection will succeed. If it can, we'll proceed from there. Make yourselves comfortable, I'll be back as soon as I have answers."
[21:58] * Aaeru can't really feel comfortable in a situation like that, but she has the patience to wait for their answers.
[21:58] <Kozzz> OOC: Okay. First of all Janson. roll 1d100 to see if you make your odds. As I calculated it, it was 50/50 if I recall, so 1-50 is your target number.

[21:58] <Ebiris> roll 1d100
[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Ebiris rolls 1d100 and gets 60." [1d100=60]
[21:58] <Kozzz> roll 1d100 Yuria
[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 Yuria and gets 31." [1d100=31]
[21:59] <Kozzz> roll 1d100 1-20 for Yuria's chance of oddities if she comes back.
[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 1-20 for Yuria's chance of oddities if she comes back. and gets 5." [1d100=5]
[21:59] <Kozzz> roll 1d100 this keeps hitting
[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 this keeps hitting and gets 99." [1d100=99]
[22:00] <Kozzz> OOC: I'll treat that result as two rerolls instead, as it's unused mechanic+reroll.
[22:00] <Kozzz> roll 1d100 1
[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 1 and gets 64." [1d100=64]
[22:00] <Kozzz> roll 1d100 2
[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Kozzz rolls 1d100 2 and gets 6." [1d100=6]

[22:02] <Kozzz> It's a little while. A dull, restless time...until at last Balyss comes out. Her smile isn't there at all, "The good news...Yuria and Orval can return if so called." she says, waiting a beat before looking to Sylvie. "I'm sorry. Janson...all the signs..." she fumbles for a moment before looking away, "It was his time. His soul flies to Jannath."
[22:03] * Arachiel pales and hugs Sylvie.
[22:04] <Whurric> "...I'm sorry, lass," Whurric says quietly to Sylvie. Even if he is honestly happy to hear both his brother and Yuria, he feels it is wrong to show a smile in the face of Sylvie's loss.
[22:05] <Kozzz> Sylvie stays still a moment. Her eyes glass over as she digests that, going limp in Arachiel's hold. Slowly she slides down against her, holding onto her legs. She is still a few moments later, before her chest heaves. Tears begin to flow like water, body convulsing in sob after sob. Balyss sighs again, "I'm sorry, Sylvie. I don't know if it helps, but he died a hero. Heroes are rewarded in the
[22:05] <Kozzz> hereafter. Surely Jannath will reward him for stopping such a perversion of the natural fey order."
[22:07] <Kozzz> Josa sighs long, wiping his eyes, "Thank you. I can see to the details here...the rest of you can go mourn and rest as you please."
[22:08] * Aaeru finds herself without the right words to say. Janson's gone on to his reward, that much is true, but even she cannot help but feel resentment as Janson seems to be the only one treated differently.
[22:10] * Arachiel comforts Sylvie as best she can.
