Dark Rumblings

[Anastasia]

You can hear words uttered, strange and twisting ones demanding protection.

He's using a shadow displacement spell, something that will give him a miss chance by using shadows to confuse and mislead. Countering?

[Ebiris]

Alicia snaps out a word of magic to unmake his spell before it can be completed!

Superb dispelling to counter

The magic crumples to your will, shattering in a single thrust of magic before...

Latha.

...Latha stands tall despite being stung, "Repent!" she cries, as a blast of holy power from above explodes over the swarm and the 'loth within.

Vivacious righteous smite.

> roll 20d8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 20d8 --> [ 20d8=74 ]{74}
> roll 74*2
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 74*2 --> {148}

> roll 1d20+13
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{21}

The blast of holy power flash-fries the vermin around the daemon, giving you a momentary look at a shadowed ultroloth, the barest glimpse before more wasps cloak him like the night.

Go.

[Ebiris]

No damage on the righteous smite?

Alicia follows up Latha's attack with a sunlance of her own, detonating over the daemon and harmlessly splashing over the rest of them, purified as it is with holy power.

[19:12] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 25d6 splash damage x2 vs undead --> [ 25d6=81 ]{81}

DC 39 ref half on the area damage, blinded if save fails.

Following after that she strides towards the yugoloth after Syala, several motes of lightning appearing around her and discharging into the fiend with loud zaps!

Rolled, it wasn't pasted by accident. Whoops.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}

A second dawn rises that day, exploding around the wasps. More and more of them die, swarming in and flooding in, taking the shots as the 'loth is knocked to a knee. He's gasping as most of the swarm is obliterated by your assault, the rest breaking away. He's revealed now, kneeling amid a small sea of slain wasps.

The first blow comes with a primal scream of fury, Syala kicking the 'loth in the head. Blood is sent flying from the impact, head bloodied as she brings her hammer up. "This is how I live," she shouts, "Crushing pests like you with in the name of holy retribution!"

A blow, the crack of ribs giving way as his chest is caved in.

A blow, the shattering of a shoulder, the impact pulping it in one mighty shot.

A blow, his head no more after a final one.

"And none of you can stop me from doing it!" Syala finishes, kicking the corpse away as it simply vanishes into a swirl of nothingness.

With that death, the shadow wasps rapidly begin to break apart. They fly in every direction wildly, Latha's light purifying them away. You did it! You won!

[Ebiris]

Hopefully the real book isn't hidden somewhere impossible to find without his knowledge! "Well struck, Syala," she praises, sweeping her gaze about now for any sign of magical artifacts or extradimensional storage items.

Nothing here, but behind the dissolving throne is a darkened passage leading deeper in.

[Ebiris]

"Hopefully we can find the Spelltome further inside," Alicia says, leading the way through that passage.

[Anastasia]

"It would be galling if it's already gone," Latha remarks as you begin to go. "Does anyone need healing?"

[Ebiris]

"Not desperately but if you can spare it then better safe than sorry," Alicia replies.

[Anastasia]

Warmth mends and restores your body, fixing what is wrong with what is right.

"More?" Latha asks.

"Not for me," Alicia shakes her head, restored to full health now. Seeing Latha wasn't healed by that she reaches out and a rush of silver flame rolls over her body, mending it in its wake.

Heal from Silver Fire, +150 hp.

"Thank you," Latha says, as the passage leads to a simple room hewn out of the stone. Here a pillar up to chest level sits, and atop it sits a thick, ancient tome.

The book is not trapped with magic but it is magic. A clever fake, much like the last one.
