  • Title: A Curious Request, part 7
  • Emitter: Whirlpool
  • Characters: Ashes, Silmeria, Zaxx, Edinaz, Baz da Ork
  • Place: Dragonier
  • Time: Wednesday, May 19, 2021, 9:35 PM
  • Summary: The battle continues! Lysos' mind clears and she steps back, casting invisibility as Edinaz and Baz lay waste to the wights. Ashes is not doing as well, still confused and bashes herself, then gets drained further by the wights. Silmeria shoots at the Void Dragon, who seems amused, then angry and throws a rock at her. Lysos puts a blurr on Ashes as Edinaz and Baz do more damage, and the Mourner's head clears. She takes refuge beside Silmeria and tries to lay some more hexes on the Void Dragon, with a little success. Silmeria shoots again, and the Dragon enfeebles Edinaz as more wights rain down on the Varadamite faithful, and the battle continues...

GAME: Lysos casts Invisibility. Caster Level: 6 DC: 18

"Obscurna!" Lysos blurts out, near panicked, as she makes a motion similar to drawing a hood or a sheet over her head.. she disappears while backpeddaling away from the direction of the dragon.

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d4+1: (2)+1: 3

The good news is there's still a lot of wights. They hiss and recoil at Silmeria, and her actions ensure a large number of them go for her. Ashes is the only perso nstruck by them at all.

Meanwhile, the Void Dragoin is leering doiwn at you all.

It seems ... amused.

<OOC> Whirlpool says, "Ashes clobbers herself in confusion!"

Ashlee is not feeling great. It's hard to breathe, there was a wight hitting her. There's another wight hitting her! She spins and swings, and pulls a leg muscle, and then accidentally head-butts the wall as she lunges for the enemy.

She's also feeling cold, in an unpleasant and not grave-comforting way. All in all, not a great day for her so far.

GAME: Silmeria rolls ranged+2+2-5: (18)+8+2+2+-5: 25

With the battlefield devolving to chaos, and the leering dragon's powers scattering her allies, Silmeria finds it extra important to stand strong. Here, in the land her sister of the cloth has staked out for their Goddess, she must not flag or fail.

The Speaker narrows her eyes at the Wyrmling, and brings her pistol to her lips. "Memento Mori -- Hrotti Protocol"

<<ACKNOWLEDGED,>> says the pistol, its traceries rippling with gray-green light, an illusion resembling the stylized head of a dragon forming over the barrel. Then the Speaker explodes into motion, firing, reloading, and firing again in the space of four heartbeats.

One shell hits the broodling's horn and whines into the darkness, but the second flies true, drilling deep into the foul drake's flesh. 

GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+15: (10)+15: 25

The dragon, annoyed, flaps its wings once and then hops from one side of the ring above you to the other. There, it gouges stone with its claws and then hurls some at Silmeria! 

GAME: Lysos casts Blur. Caster Level: 6 DC: 18

Lysos's disembodied voice utters, "Obfuscatum!" Fading from sight, the Tsuran, while still scared, has managed to convince herself that she's relatively safe, for the moment.. and it looks like Ashes needs some help, so she moves to the hobgoblin and drops a defensive veil upon her.

The wights are now in the mix and more of them seem to be appearing above you, on the ring where the dragon sits. It's sending them towards you. They fall in from the ring above, crashing into the ground with boine wrenching thuds as they surge towards you into the unbearable heat near the magma. They don't care, not even a little.

Of all of you, only Silmeria is struck by a couple of lucky blows. Lysos is invisible, and Baz and Edinaz's defenses prove too good and they've managed to kill a couple of the wights, and Zaxx's crossbow bolts are doing the same from the darkness. 

GAME: Edinaz rolls 1d20+14-2: (20)+14+-2: 32 (THREAT)

GAME: Edinaz rolls 1d8+6: (7)+6: 13
<OOC> Whirlpool says, "Two wights go splat."

Edinaz is getting into the swing of things, working a flow of swings against multiple opponents. Two of his cuts go cleanly through wights, dropping them, while others don't play out so neatly. Still, he starts trying to clear a space near Silmeria.

GAME: Ashes rolls will: (13)+8: 21
<OOC> Ashes says, "Okay. Glare an AC hex on the void dragon."
<OOC> Ashes says, " With the negative levels I guess it's just a -2 now,"
<OOC> Ashes says, "the Will save is DC15 for it 1 round/7rounds still"
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+10: (14)+10: 24 (Avoid Dragon, save vs AC HEX)
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+10: (2)+10: 12 (Avoid Dragon, save vs Attack Hex)

Her mind clears.

Ashlee comes to her senses. That wight over there, that's Lysos, who is invisible. That other thing, that's the wall. That's not a valid target. The wights around me...

Yes, those are valid targets, but she doesn't want to be near them.

The mourner scoots over to the consecrated ground, using her parasol like a shield. She glares over it at the Void Dragon. Her fellow Vardaman calls her gun Momento Mori. Ashlee has always thought of herself in that way.

She stares at their opponent, looking for gaps in his scales, letting her bad mood seep in and unsettle. Her message is the same, remember, you can die. 

GAME: Silmeria rolls ranged+1+2+2: (15)+6+1+2+2: 26
GAME: Silmeria rolls ranged+1+2+2-5: (4)+6+1+2+2+-5: 10
GAME: Silmeria rolls 1d8+1+2d6: (4)+1+(5): 10

With Ashlee at Silmeria's side, the Speaker stands just a bit straighter despite the soul-draining wounds, a proud twist touching her smile. Death has come to Dragonier, and it will not leave until its business is complete.

Tracking Mori along the dragon's path, two shots ring out again, and once more only one hits home. Despite herself, the gunner makes a quiet noise of frustration. 

<OOC> Whirlpool says, "It is going to slap Edinaz with a ray of enfeeblement."
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+12: (6)+12: 18

It's eyes glow a baleful green as it seems to cointinue its amusement. The bullets hit it4, but it does not ... exactly bleed. Instead, the holes are simply black and empty, like you're staring into the abyss iutself.

A glowing green beam streaks from its eyes towards Edinaz, but he narrowly gets out of the way.

The battle continues...

<OOC> Whirlpool says, "For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative 1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses. The creature is also treated as one level lower for the purpose of level-dependent variables (such as spellcasting) for each negative level possessed. Spellcasters do not lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of negative levels. If a creatures negative levels equal or exceed its total Hit Dice, it dies."
