Limping return

Init is ????(27) > Xandra (26) > Moore (12)

Moore...lost init? What is this strange bullshit?

You can also make K:A if you'd like to identify this.

The creature scurries up 60ft closer, 140ft close now and rears up. A glob of brownish, foul liquid comes out, aimed right at Xandra.

Ref, Xandra. It's acid damage if she immunes that.

[Nephrite]

Cresiel does, Xandra doesn't, but she immunes lightning... which ... ...I don't... think has ever come up. Huh.

I actually didn't even know they both immuned different things. Teehee.

[21:52] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+35+12 Xandra ref
[21:52] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 66 > [d20=19]

Moore will take 10 on K:A for 55.

[Anastasia]

The creature before you is an ankheg, perhaps one touched by cold itself and transformed by it. However, it's moving far faster than one should - there are no weaklings in Ysgard, so this is likely far stronger than the average ankheg.

Go ahead and go, repaste those bardic music bonuses, please.

Acid splatters on Xandra, a raised arm taking the worst of it. It hisses by little more, able to endure it as...

Xandra and Moore, go.

[spoiler]

Xandra
HP: 538/538 (16 pending acid damage)
Negative Conditions:
Aura: Menace 20ft (-2 attacks, AC, saves; DC 37)

[Nephrite]

+30 bonus to attack
+24 bonus to damage
+Improved Crit Feat, add +13 to threat confirm
+12 to saves and AC
+Fast Healing 11

So Xandra gets 72+56 = 128 temp HP.

Moore huffs once. "It's times like this that I really need... oh, right!" He blurts out as he strums a chord on his harp, releasing a blast of sonic magic at the monster!

[22:06] <Nephrite> roll 10d6 sonic damage
[22:06] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 32 > [d6=2,3,3,2,5,5,4,1,4,3]

I believe the DC is 22 (Items are 10+spell level+minimum ability score mod to cast, right?) Fort so it will likely save, but if it fails it's stunned for 1 round.

Even if it does save though it's deafened for

[22:10] <Nephrite> roll 4d6
[22:10] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 16 > [d6=3,6,4,3]

8 rounds if it saves.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+26
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 32 > [d20=6]

As you continue to plummet you strum your harp, a blast of sonic power bursting around the ankheg. It barely even slows it, a ripple around it as...

Xandra.

[Nephrite]

I guess if it isn't obvious, Moore and Xandra are 'using' their Move actions on falling.

Xandra hurls a lance of energy at the ankheg!

[22:29] <Nephrite> roll 1d20 touch
[22:29] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 9 > [d20=9]
[22:29] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+32 SR if needed
[22:29] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 44 > [d20=12]

[22:33] <Nephrite> roll 30d6
[22:33] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 98 > [d6=1,6,4,1,3,4,6,3,2,1,1,2,5,6,3,2,4,5,3,4,5,5,5,6,3,1,1,2,3,1]
[22:35] <Nephrite> roll 6d6 sunburst
[22:35] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 18 > [d6=2,4,2,1,3,6]

It's allowed a reflex save, DC 35 against the damage. Also DC 35 fort to save against dazzled if it's evil, but I doubt it is.

[Anastasia]

I assumed, yes.

> roll 1d20+23
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 41 > [d20=18]

The blast of instant sunshine explodes around the ankheg, a violent burst that washes over all of you. Yet the ankheg is badly blistered by it, falling with you, knocked off his perch. He's tumbling end over end, as the blue glow from above gets a little stronger again.

With a loud screech, the insectoid creature tries to grab onto the wall, tries to get its grip back.

> roll 1d20+38
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 43 > [d20=5]

It does, falling for several moments but managing ot latch onto the icy surface as...

Go you two.

[Nephrite]

"Let's see if it still follows us, that may have taught it we're not easy prey!" Moore calls out.

Let's fall for a round and see if it tries to give chase. Clearly we're going to double-move fall here???????

[Anastasia]

Thus the two of you fall - and right past it, the thing clinging to the wall and not following you at all. Whew. You're still going as Xandra calls, "Look up!"

Free act.

[Nephrite]

"I'd rather not, but fine!" Is the response as he does.

[Anastasia]

The frozen lava's speeding up, matching your speed and perhaps slightly surpassing it. The center of the great mass parts - and within you seed a brownish-gray snake-like head, a serpentine tongue flicking out in the air. Another Child of Jormugandr calls, "Finally, someone who can move and fight. Keep going or you'll freeze alive!"

[Nephrite]

"We're working on it!" Moore calls back. "...Wait, are you riding it?!"

[Anastasia]

"You're damn right I am," The serpent calls back, voice a jovial, battle-lusted shout that echos after, as you plummet further and further down.

[Nephrite]

"I hope your father is as good natured as you areeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Moore shouts as he continues to tumble and fall.

[Anastasia]

Down and down you tumble as the light slowly begins to catch up, blue radiance shining down. The Child of Jormugandr's laughter echos amid the tunnel as you fall - !!! Ahead 200ft and closing is a dead end bottom. About 20ft before that is a tunnel to the side at a perfect 90 degree angle.

At the dead end bottom you note various things are scattered - weapons and armor, equipment, coins, that manner of thing.
