Yet more hoarding (Surraruthru)

Surraruthru hears something behind him, from the direction of the room. A footstep, light and fast, but just barely audible.

Iron Dragoon · May 19, 2016, 07:49:20 PM

"Footsteps from behind!"

Surraruthru spins, readying himself for war!

Readying Orb of Force.

"Behind!" Ebony whirls that way, Kascha doing the same. Your sharp ears do not betray you, for from the room rushes a pale man. His skin is gray, the color of ash, and his eyesockets are empty. He carries a club and dashes at the three of you near silently, hefting it and attacking before anything else.

This saved you all from being flat footed against this attack.

> roll 1d20+30 vs party's AC
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 35 > [d20=5]

Surraruthru's at AC 38 with greater mage armor, so a miss on him. Ebony's 37 so a miss as well. Kascha's AC 51 so that's not even close.

But the party's already moving. Ebony leaps back, wings assisting her in gliding well out of range. Surraruthru's just quick enough to throw himself against the wall. Kascha draws her greatsword in one swift motion, parrying the club and briefly closing in on him, before the man pushes back and off. You can see it wears well tailored chain armor that makes not a sound.

Init here.

Kascha opens.

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 43 > [d20=8]

"A hoardheart." Kascha says, backpedaling, "A zombie that won't rest so long as the treasure he guards has been taken. Seira, guide us!"

5ft step back, casting surge of hope.

> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 74 > [d100=74]

Surge of hope is identical to good hope, except that the bonuses are +4 and that you're also immune to fear for the duration.

Hope swells within all of you. Surraruthru feels a calming sense that he can do this, that they can stop this creature and escape. But before any of you can act on that, the hoard heart closes in on Ebony and tries to pound her down. Blow after blow rains down from above, an absolute beating.

> roll 1d20+30 vs Ebony
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 44 > [d20=14]
> roll 1d20+30 vs Ebony
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 44 > [d20=14]

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 33 > [d20=13]
> roll 1d20+15 vs Ebony
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 22 > [d20=7]

Ebony's current AC is 37, so three hits.

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 42 > [d8=8,8][d6=6,5]
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 30 > [d8=8,4][d6=2,1]
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 23 > [d8=2,2][d6=2,2]

Does not penetrate her damage reduction, so -45 from that for a total of 50 damage.

Ebony's beaten over and over, shielding her face with her hands and wings as she's bloodied. Her nose breaks with a loud crack, blood steadily pouring down her face.

Surraruthru, you're up. You can K:R if you want to know about the baddie.

Don't have K:R, so bust on that.

Surraruthru launches the orb he readied at the thing!

Orb of Force, CL 24

The orb hits the hoard heart right in the chest, the force of it caving in his chest. But such a wound barely fazes it as Ebony steps back, bloodied. She holds her hand up as if to stop it and calls on, "False life, be still!"

Halt undead.

> roll 1d20+18
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 37 > [d20=19]

But nothing happens. Instead Kascha keeps falling back as well, "Why?! Why is this treasure so overguarded? What sort of sadist does things like this?" Kascha asks, almost as if praying to a higher power.

> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 86 > [d100=86]

Empowered righteous smite and using her draconic discovery ability to add twin to it.

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 34 > [d20=16]
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 29 > [d20=11]

Twin blasts of holy power from above crush the hoard heart beneath it. They leave it kneeling and reeling, seemingly unable to act. It begins to glow a pale black instead, a watery color that becomes more intense as the moments pass.

Skips its turn. Go Surraruthru.

Tired of this thing, big guns time.

Surraruthru growls at the thing, a deep, low, and chest rattling thing coming from such a small dragon, as he calls on one of his most powerful spells, opening his jaws and launching the spell from just in front of his snout, much like Dragon breath. Not that his own is useless or anything. Or that he wants a vastly more powerful breath weapon. No, nothing like that. Anyway, a roiling ball of four clashing elements forms and launches forth!

Using Hellball, level 10, CL 24. Reflex half, SR allowed.

No save, it's not able to dodge right now.

Surraruthru's greatest spell rips through the hoard heart, body burning and falling apart as acid and fire eats it. Electricity shocks it, the remnants encased in ice.

Free act.

Iron Dragoon · May 19, 2016, 10:19:20 PM

Surraruthru roars in triumph, doing his best to push his little lungs to shake the very ground.

Once finished he stares at the corpse pieces and snorts, turning to the others.

"That treasure is *ours* now. After all that's happened, I will not accept anything less than absolute domination of that damn vault. What do we need to shatter those orbs in the walls?"

Anastasia · May 19, 2016, 10:26:59 PM

Kascha shakes her head quickly, "I don't know and I'm not going back there without being refreshed and fully prepared, as well as with all the backup we can manage."

Ebony coughs as...

> roll 1d20+33 Spot
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 43 > [d20=10]

..her eyes widen. "It's regenerating, fast," Ebony points. Turning, you can see that the broken hoard heart is reassembling and regrowing, body knitting itself back together before your very eyes.

Iron Dragoon · May 19, 2016, 10:30:05 PM

Surraruthru growls at it.

"Is there a way to stop it? At the moment, the best I can do is Summon Monster X. I have a few sonic and ice spells, but not much more."

Anastasia · May 19, 2016, 10:39:49 PM

"You know what?" Kascha says, "This entire thing is a death trap. Let's take this and go. Ebony, take one side of the chest?" Kascha says.

"No," Ebony shakes her head, "We should find a way to put this thing to eternal rest."

"Yes, but I'd rather not be put to my eternal rest yet!" Kascha retorts, then turns to Surraruthru. "Quick tiebreak before it regenerates?"
