To cure rotting earth (Ithea, Moore)

Anastasia · February 25, 2016, 10:47:40 PM

I'll resolve Crystal's action along with Ithea's. In the meantime, the knowledge check.

The creature before you is a necromental. An undead creature that is the result of the remnants of an elemental being twisted into undeath at the moment of its demise. The main power they have is draining levels when they slam creatures and generally retaining all the powers of the base elemental. However, its stench aura and lack of draining on a slam suggests it's something customized.

Also, something's wrong. Primal elementals are the absolute pinnacles of the elementals and are said to serve Archomentals and the elemental deities themselves. One being allowed to pass into undeath is implausible at best. The elemental's the right size for it, but you also haven't seen its primal magic, another oddity as primal elementals routinely use it to gain an edge in battle.

"Lixer. Didn't think you'd get involved," Ithea notes as she steps closer. "Then again, you're not -really- here are you? Didn't want us squeezing answers out of you?"

Ithea switches to her glaive, and casts a disintegrate spell at the possessed creature, watchful for a reflected spell as with the walls. If it reflects, she'll quick cast Dimension Hop and reappear behind the creature. Otherwise, she'll summon the chaotic power gifted by Renbuu.

As she finishes all that, she'll call out to the others, "Be careful! There's something odd about the necromental...Primal elementals normally wouldn't pass onto undeath, and the lack of it's primal magic and it's lack of draining slams has to mean some different trick is in place!"

Move action to switch weapons, standard action spell. If it reflects, quick casting dimension hop as a swift, otherwise swift action for Chaos Devotion.

[20:52] <Kobot> Merc rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}

If Chaos Devotion triggers, I'd get +2 sacred AC (overwritten by Protection Devotion).

The spell flies true as chaos surrounds Ithea, but it simply vanishes the moment the thin green beam touches the puppet. As this happens, Crystal charges past in a blur, slamming into the necromental like a tiny white haired bullet. Her lance manages to pierce the armor a nd stab the stone beneath. A true pinprick against such a titan, but holy power burst out throughout its chest, "Foolish and worthless," Lixer's voice just drips condescension, the elemental's body jerking a few times before steadying.

Meanwhile, the monolith hurls another boulder, this time at Balyss.

> roll 1d20+28 touch AC Balyss
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+33 touch AC Balyss --> [ 1d20=13 ]{41}

Miss.

The boulder goes flying, smacking Balyss right in the back. Or it would, but at the last moment shining, misty white light appears, the boulder lost in it and ending up past Lixer's puppet somewhere. Not that you have time to study that, as the purple energy gathering around it suddenly bursts out, engulfing the party.

Fortitude saves, all. Mettle does apply.

240 damage and 4 negative levels. A successful save reduces the damage by half and the negative levels down to two. Mettle negates everything.

None: Moore
Half: Dana, Stille, Crystal, Ithea
Full: Rosa, Balyss, Hope

Before going on, update statues and let me know if that knocked out or killed anyone.

Nephrite · February 25, 2016, 11:22:39 PM

That leaves Rosa at -63, unless I missed some obvious way to get her bonus fort somehow. It's too late for Moore to use his once a day +5 to saves and I'm not sure it'd make a difference in her case anyway.

Balyss is barely hanging on due to the CON score rule on death.

Anastasia · February 25, 2016, 11:38:33 PM

The blast of power is utterly overwhelming. It turns all the air purple, a horrible thrum passing through as the walls of the fortress crack and crumble behind you. They fall into ruin, becoming dust and then nothing from the assault. It is as if they were never there, as the rest of you feel your energies weaken and bodies break all over. For most it can be endured. Balyss falls over and down, while Rosa begins to scream - only for her throat to crumble to dust. The rest of her soon follows, her gear collapsing around the dustpile that was once Rosa.

"Selune, no!" Stille cries, and in an exact replica of Balyss's voice a mere few moments ago, "Selune, heal us all!"

See it again for mass heal, CL 22. Doesn't patch the negative levels, but +150 HP.

Lixer's puppet smirks as a mass of light comes from Rosa. You can see her, the mass taking shape of her. It flies into the necromental, "This soul will be mine," Lixer intones. "Do you see now? You are powerless. I have deigned to suffer your annoyances this far, but no farther. Today Aurora dies."

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29) > Balyss (28) > Smrgol (27) > Dana (26) > Crystal = Ithea (25) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

Go Moore. I can't take sides, but I hope you ice this motherfucker now. Poor Rosa.

Also, Balyss is prone from falling over half dead, even though she's back in the positive hit points.

Moore takes a breath. He'll save Rosa, no matter what. He has the power to do so... he won't let this be her resting place.

"DANA! ITHEA!" Moore shouts. "Courage fall upon you both! I'll make sure you both survive this, now dismantle that thing so we can rescue her!" He calls on stronger Words than he's used before... but this sort of situation calls on rather desperate measures.

Moore's throwing Inspire Heroics at them both, they get +12 dodge to AC and +12 morale to saves.

Courage also has 2 more rounds left, and Haste has... 20.

Also, changing the aura over to the +11 to overcoming SR aura.

Balyss struggles up, and gives a nod to Moore before chanting a prayer to Selune, as divine magic fills the area, pale light shining down on herself, Stille, Ithea and Crystal. To the nearby Moore, she presses a hand to his side, a different protection covering him.

Dana and Hope are the least injured, so hopefully they can hold on...

Undeath's Eternal Foe cast on herself, Stille, Ithea and Crystal. Moore got a Quickened Life's Grace.

Shining protections come from above, the momentary shimmer of a full moon over the party. "More stupidity," The puppet sneers.

"You know what's stupid? The fact that you're still fishing for fucking attention!" Dana snaps that back, adjusting her neck with her hand before getting back into combat position. "Oh look at me, I'm some giant fucking asshole who has to talk down to people because Daddy only shows he cares when he bends me over. Pay attention to me! Pay attention to me! I'm not just a cum rag impersonating Orcus!"

Smrgol is up, all unaffected by the magic thrown around and still doing his own thing.
