Dark Rumblings

Thus you head to the cleft - and you see it connects to a hallway, quickly twisting around a bend and ahead.

Ebiris · October 16, 2018, 04:34:21 PM

Alicia leads the way along it!

This cleft leads to a worked passage, a gap in the floor about 10ft wide.

They come from it.

Wasps. Dark, shadowy wasps, an absolute torrent of them gushing out, pouring out, flooding in. It's a swarm - a big one!

"You think they'd learn that even a million vermin won't slow us down," Syala says, grinning now, "But they make good targets!"

Init, aka Supreme Init means you open.

Ebiris · October 17, 2018, 01:08:46 PM

That gap is abruptly filled with a mass of scything blades of force, whirling around like a grinder!

Blade Barrier SLA, 15d6 force damage to anything passing it, DC 39 ref half.

"That should thin their ranks, but please finish them as they come," she asks Latha and Syala.

Roll damage first of all since you tossed in where they're flooding out.

Init is Alicia (MIKO DEAD END) > Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm (29) > Latha (21) > Syala (18)

So many are cleaved apart, sundered by your blade barrier. Yet more come.

Hundreds and hundreds more burst apart the moment Latha's light shines on them. Yet more come.

A sweep of Syala's arm crushes dozens. Yet more come.

The shadow wasps surround you, coat you, cover you, sting you. They take up your entire world as...!!!

> roll 12d8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 12d8 --> [ 12d8=70 ]{70}

70 damage to all, DR applies.

Fort saves, all. Note if immune to nausea since that negates.

Ebiris · October 17, 2018, 01:44:12 PM

Latha's sunmantle deals 20 damage to everything damaging me in melee. Fuck you, wasps!

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+40 Syala --> [ 1d20=16 ]{56}

Pain. They die, they bite, they die, they sting. Latha wails in pain as she doubles over, throwing up even as more wasps flood her mouth, as if to choke her to death. Syala manages to stay up, face becoming stormier and stormier.

Latha is busy being nauseated, though the aura still applies. Syala.

> roll 7d6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 7d6 --> [ 7d6=16 ]{16}

Suddenly the sun's wrath engulfs all of you, exploding out like a tempest of light.

> roll 1d20+33
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{42}

Thinks off your SRs so the swarm only has to deal with it.

> roll 1d20+26
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{29}

Failed the save.

Blinding light momentarily covers everything, dozens and dozens dying each moment, the swarm checked but not down. They're still flooding, even as you kill them by the thousands in total.

Blade barrier gets them again this turn, so roll damage. Go Alicia.

[18:02] <@Ebiris> roll 15d6 blade barrier
[18:02] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 15d6 blade barrier --> [ 15d6=62 ]{62}

DC 39 ref half

Ah. That's unfortunate. Working harder then to end the swarm she lashes out with a whip of silver fire that spirals all around herself, Syala, and Latha to disintegrate the vermin crowding them, even the ones in Latha's mouth without harming the angel herself thanks to preternatural aim. "Stand fast!" she calls to bolster her allies.

Stand fast used, Syala and Latha get +13 on their next fort saves.

You stand fast as they all do. You withstand, you hold. As Latha groans the swarm is burnt out around you, torn asunder. For a moment nothing but an ankle deep sea of corpses is before you, shadow stuff obliterated by sun and blade, magic and fire. Then you hear it, a deeper buzz from within the gap, getting louder fast.

Free act for the moment.

Ebiris · October 17, 2018, 02:23:16 PM

"Heal up, Latha. I don't want to take any chances here," Alicia cautions as she dismisses her blade barrier. "More are coming, lets meet their challenge," she leads the way through the gap downwards.

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · October 17, 2018, 02:33:51 PM

Sunlight shines bright as Latha recovers, "Onward," she manages raggedly.

Mass Heal, +250 HP all and statuses cleared up.

Going to the chasm, you see absolute darkness 30ft down. No - shadow wasps. More than you can make out, an absolute surge of them coming up, surely dwarfing the last batch.

Go, since Supreme Init.

This batch receives the honour of a stronger spell as Alicia flings a sunlance down into their midst!

Maximised sunlance

[18:36] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+43 ranged touch
[18:36] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+43 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=16 ]{59}

180 damage on hit, doubled if harmed by sunlight in particular.

150 damage splash based on what Syala's sunburst did to the last swarm. DC 34 ref half, blinded if save fails.

Nerveskitter on Latha so she gets +5 init.

After that she slings her sword down through the swarm like a buzz-saw, rending them apart in droves before it returns to her hand!

Quickened whirling blade

[18:40] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+35 whirling blade, -35 pa
[18:40] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+35 whirling blade, -35 pa --> [ 1d20=6 ]{41}
[18:41] <@Ebiris> roll 2d6+67+6+2d6
[18:41] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2d6+67+6+2d6 --> [ 2d6=6 2d6=5 ]{84}

> roll 1d20+26
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{45}

Half damage from the sunburst so....180+75.

Hit on the whirling blade.

Blade and sun swirl and slice, hoards of them cut down. But it isn't enough. More come, thickly. A thick barrage of them, more and more and more!

> roll 1d20+8 Latha
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 Latha --> [ 1d20=1 ]{9}
> roll 1d20+12 Syala
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 Syala --> [ 1d20=2 ]{14}
> roll 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm --> [ 1d20=10 ]{28}

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm (28) > Syala = Latha (14)

Swarm is up.

They flood you, they swarm you. Truly thousands and thousands, everything assaulting you at once.

> roll 13d8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 13d8 --> [ 13d8=59 ]{59}

59 damage all, DR applies. Fort.
