My dice are red hot today all over.

Init is Gloom (56) > Moore (52) > Romiel (31)

Gloom opens.

The gloom glances back, his horrid face as...

Fort you two. Disease, Romiel is immune.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+50 : 10 + 50, total 60[/blockquote] mettle

[Anastasia]

Yet you resist as the assassin darts forward and goes unseen again, past the two archons he slashed apart, as he throws something back. A black little dot, flying right at the two of you.

> roll 1d20 1 check
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20  check --> [ 1d20=20 ]{20}

Nuclear hot dice today. The crit doesn't matter here, though.

Black gas erupts once the dot hits the ground, a smoke that...

Fort save. Pierces poison immunity but you get a +5 bonus to the save if you're immune.

[Nephrite]

I don't think I am. [blockquote]Rolled 1d20+50 : 18 + 50, total 68[/blockquote] mettle

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+37 Romiel
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+37 Romiel --> [ 1d20=16 ]{53}

Yet you blow away the smoke with a quick word of power, enduring as...

Go.

[Nephrite]

There's not much to do but follow!

double move to try and keep up. 180 feet

[Anastasia]

The courtyard.

You rush back as - !!! In the light of Chronias, you see it as the faintest outline. The gloom is taking to the air, leaping up and starting to fly away. Yet you're just able to keep up going full out, Romiel slowly pulling ahead as the gloom looks back and sees you, before grabbing a handful of powder from within his clothes and hurling it back at you.

Reflex.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+50 : 16 + 50, total 66[/blockquote] evasion, using +8 improv points

[Anastasia]

Yet Moore rolls and dives out of the way, not even losing speed as...

Go.

[Nephrite]

Does it look like Romiel could get to the gloom if he could take a move action?

[Anastasia]

Yes, he's slowly pulling ahead of it.

[Nephrite]

Okay.

Standard - Grant Move Action to Romiel.
Swift - Sing the Holy Choir, this gives Romiel the Holy Power bonus on his next attack.
Movement, via Harmonize - Inspire Greatness, 8d10 Temp HP, +8 competence to attack, and +3 competence to fortitude saves.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 75, total 75[/blockquote] Spell failure for Sing the Holy Choir. Even if it fails he's doing the rest of his action string here.

[Anastasia]

Then Romiel is there, weapon glowing with holy power as he thrusts, meeting the gloom in midair. A clash of light against the dark figure before you as...

> roll 6d6+220 crit
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 240 > [d6=2,6,3,1,4,4]

The two meet in mid-air, a momentary clash that sees Romiel glide through the gloom, who shudders. His entire body catches ablaze in bright light, the same light as above. Before your eyes the gloom's body falls in two flaming pieces, severed through the middle. Those pieces fall to the ground below and burn, faster and faster before your eyes. You did it. You won!

Free act. You got him the one free shot at the gloom that he needed.

[Nephrite]

Moore lets out a breath. Whew!

"Romiel, are you all right? I didn't have a chance to make sure that my magic was able to fully remove that poison." Moore says. "I'm guessing it did, I just want to make sure."
