Book 2: Chapter 1 - Curse of the Lady's Light

[AdamDaBomb11]

Oloven relieves his hand from the wall and looks at the shaft from a distance. "Hopefully that doesn't go too deep. Or I might have to take my armor off and lower it down."

[Vardaen]

Zeevan holds a hand up, and moves forward alone toward the pit. He doesn't get far into the chamber before the front five statue like pillars animate! They break free from their podiums and step down onto the floor sweeping their blades about the chamber. They close in on those in the chamber, namely Zeevan...

Now they look more like this!

Map

Fletcher and Zeevan...

[ManWithDoor]

"Fletcher! We've got company!!!" Zeevan's voice is a little higher than he'd have preferred, but he knows if he stays in the middle of this group of statues he'll either get crushed, or knocked down the pit. He darts back closer to the group, striking out at one of the statues, trying to probe for a weakness. "Don't leave me hanging!"

OOC

Move N/NW. Attack #1 with my +1 Flaming Wakizashi. If I get Sneak Attack (since it hasn't acted yet this battle), add +3d6 Damage.

Round 1 Fletcher 23,Zeevan 22 , Statues 20, Oloven 17, Jay 15, Rikkan 15, Jasper 10

Zeevan calls back for aid, he starts to dart away from the pit, and as he does he clubs one of the statues with his flaming mace. The blow resonates up his arm, it cracks the thing, knocking off a small hunk of stone and sending spiderwebs of cleavage along its side. At the same time his mace shakes from the blow, these things are hard... very hard.

Roll

Not wanting to overextend into the chamber and draw multiple attacks, Fletcher draws his greatsword and places himself at a pinch point of sorts between the wall and the base of a statue. Standing at the ready, he calls out, "Hey! Over here!"

Move: SW S SE, Draw Greatsword

Round 1 Fletcher 23, Zeevan 22, Statues 20, Oloven 17, Jay 15, Rikkan 15, Jasper 10

Fletcher steps up and draws his greatsword, its a tight fit for him for the moment.

Then the five statues stalk forward. They have long thin blades that are made of solid stone. Zeevan is struck at once by one of them and hit hard, it will bruise instead of cut, and the bash hurts, but he'll be alright. Another moves up to Fletcher, who swings down on it, cracking the rock lightly, less than Zeevan's hit, and for his trouble's he is dented himself by the counter swing of the stone column. Three more move forward, they are slow thankfully, and Zeevan is able to take an opening and knock off a big hunk of stone on the hip of one of the moving statues scorching it as it moves. Fletcher dodges a second attack, and Zeevan ducks under a second as well. Now there is a wall of living statues before the pair.

Oloven, Jay, Rikkan and Jasper...

Map

[AdamDaBomb11]

Oloven watches as his companion's weapons dont seem to have the intended effect. So instead of drawing a weapon, he grabs a wand and casts a spell out of it. A shimmering longsword appears and begins hacking away at the closest statue.

OOC

Move: Draw Wand of Spiritual Weapon
Standard: Cast Spiritual Weapon, have it attack #3

Initiative

Round 1 Fletcher 23, Zeevan 22, Statues 20, Oloven 17, Jay 15, Rikkan 15, Jasper 10

Oloven can see these things are hard to break apart, so he opts for another way. Drawing his wand he summons a spiritual hammer to appear in the air. The hammer swings down, connects with the statue and shatters on impact. The magic that holds the spiritual weapon together is instantly dispelled on contact with the construct!

Jasper's eyes are wide and he shouts, "Oh damn!"

Jay, Rikkan and Jasper...

Roll

Oloven: Draw Wand, Spirtual Weapon vs #3: Immune!!! Dispelled

Ladypillars. Always traps.

Je's crystal sparkles as the air around him shimmers with deflected heat.

Action

I don't think it will work, but Energy Push might be helpful. After that let's move 1 SW to free up space/waste its aoo.

[Eilandor]

With Zeevan nearly surrounded, Fletcher opts to forget about the lone statue on his flank for the time being. As best he can he maneuvers his greatsword with much power hoping to thin the herd.

Action

Standard: Att #3 (Power Attack)
