Amirah, Living Swarm

Amirah's quick incantation is enough to save the crocodile's life, but the toll continues to prey on the swarm, and a few more dozen insects collapse as their magical energy is tapped.

The swarm, however, buzzes as Medinah's command rings out. "Who are you? You are not Medinah!Best Friend" The tone, for now, is curious, with just a hint of worry.

[Dekkah]

Alvah Nasab, Voice of thunder
The bard was about to listen to Medinah, but Amirah words confuse him. Unsure whom to trust among them as he doesnt know them that much yet, the half-marid focus on what he know, that the Lord of war is the enemy. Moving around the statue up the the contruct, he strike low the the monster leg, his blade charged with magic. AS he hit the creature, the ground under it start to shake, making it very hard for the enemy to stand. The magic also explode and a weave of magic expand, bolstering his ally weapons and implements.

Looking at Amriah and healing him, the back mentaly ask him,
"Are you sure there is some problem with Medinah?"

Looking at Amirah and healing her, the bard mentally asks her,
"Are you sure there is some problem with Medinah?"

Amirah, Living Swarm

"No, We!Swarm are not sure," comes the answer, to Alvah alone. "It might not even be a problem. But Medinah!Best Friend doesn't sound like this Medinah!Stranger."

Amirah is now at 106+6 HP, and has 2 surges left.

Medinah

The disguised warforged scowled at Alvah, but returned Amirah's cautionary question with a smile.

"My dearest friend, do not worry. I am Medinah, and at the same time I am not Medinah--I'm me. For the first time, I'm me. I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know this much--I have a soul, and now it's free. Free from my bonds to the other spirits who were linked to this body, free even from my dead old master's programming. And I don't intend any of us to join him anytime soon."

From her tone and expression she seems completely genuine.

Spoiler

Show

Hope that wasn't too long for "talking is a free action" off turn, heh.

Amirah's Insight should tell her that yes, this is still her friend, she's not possessed, but a dramatic change has taken place in her personality and attitude and it was brought on immediately after she was lit up with some type of magical energy. (I don't know that Amirah's Arcana check was high enough to tell what it is, but I doubt it.) She also would be able to tell that there was some kind of internal conversation happening with Medinah during the fight up to this point, and that all her inward strain or turmoil that she'd been going through is gone.

[Shadow_Elf]

Rimefang's Garden
Despite Medinah's warning, Alvah heads straight into the melee, ensorcelling his blade and attempted a thunderous blow to the machine. Despite the enormous size of EG-001's weapon, it manages to bring it up in a perfect parry. Alvah weaves his magic over Amirah, moving her slightly aside and restoring some of the insects of the swarm to life. His true purpose in this, however, is to use the residual energy to move himself back towards the exit.

The Pirate Lord of War swings its tulwar at Medinah, seemingly unable to call upon its annoying teleportation magic for the moment. With seemingly newfound vigor, Medinah diverts the massive sword with her own, preventing any damage to her chassis. Showing no signs of frustration as a mortal might at the repeated parries and misses, the machine takes a step towards Alvah, and unleashes another thunderous detonation. The Hunters around him resist the magic, but Figment is not as strong, and the magic resonates onto Medinah and Amirah.

Though Alvah is the first to feel it, soon all the Hunters feel the barest shaking of the ground beneath their feet, as if a small earthquake were passing through the save network. Motes of rock dust descend gently from the ceiling at the disturbance; the machine seems unperturbed by the seismic activity.

Crunch:

Spoiler

A round of terrible rolls on the machine's part. It hits 29 vs. Fortitude+2 on Figment with its Close Burst power, dealing 20 thunder damage, and 4 to each of Amirah and Medinah via its rider effect.

Ice is slippery. A DC18 Acrobatics check is required when one enters an icy square for the first time in a turn, whether willingly or otherwise. If failed, you fall prone. If you succeed, you stay stable. If you succeed by 5 or more, you can perform a "controlled slide" and slide yourself 1 square as a free action, even if you're in the middle of a move action.

Statues grant cover, but they don't occupy their entire square; you can generally see past them and they aren't obscuring enough to use for stealth. The exception is the dragons, which grant total cover, so you can hide behind them. Statues are theoretically destructible, but you suspect that this is part of Rimefang's lair, and you probably don't want to make her angry. Statues on ice terrain are made of ice and not stone.

Jalil

"Repair mode? I intend to destroy it." Jalil says as she walks from out behind the dragon statue, her hair rising up around her and crackling with static electricity. "First you presumed to know mercy...now you play at being selfless. Be truthful before you are destroyed. All you can do is follow orders. You've no true thoughts of your own." She says and blasts of lighting erupt from the fog that surrounds her. "You've no claim to a soul, save what's stolen from others." The swirling mists make it hard to see who Jalil is looking at when she speaks - either the Pirate Lord of War or the Hunter.

Rimefang's Garden
The machine does not outwardly react as the first bolt hits, but its chassis is clearly suffering damage again, and more severely than it did before it repaired the last time. Observation; bluster and banter does not improve one's aim, Lady Jalil, drones the machine in its monotone as the second, smaller bolt of lightning goes wide of the mark. The machine's exceedingly quick reflexes have it on the offensive again as it begins by unleashing another burst of thunderous energy; this primarily harms Amirah and Medinah, though Figment takes some collateral damage; the displacer beast scampers out of combat, tail 'twixt its legs. The machine then teleports next to Jalil, tulwar swinging and connecting. It finishes by deploying its arcane crossbows and firing a barrage of bolts which hit Medinah and Jalil.

The seismic activity in the cave increases incrementally, as if a bigger shockwave were approaching.

Crunch:

20 thunder damage to Amirah and Medinah (34 vs. Fort+2 and 35 vs. Fort+2, respectively), and 8 to Figment from collateral.

31 damage (31 vs. AC+2) on Jalil from the melee attack,

Figment hit for 26 force damage (34 vs. Reflex) irrelevant, the collateral knocked him out of the fight already. Medinah 17 force damage (32 vs. Reflex+2) and Jalil 25 force damage (31 vs. Reflex).

It is now Medinah's turn.

Amirah moves forward, her shape becoming more defined, then blury again as Figment works her illusions around the warforged and those near it.

Medinah

Reaching into a secure pocket of her armor, Medinah pulled out a small vial, the faintly glowing contents of which she quickly downed before glancing back knowingly at Kihtsah.

"For Rahman," is all she said before she headed off, circling around behind the statues and vigorously charging at EG-001's exposed rear flank.

"And for the Midnight Mirage!" she yelled as she violently swung her anima blade down in an arc across Lord War's back.

[Shadow_Elf]

Rimefang's Garden
Medinah charges the Pirate Lord of War, her anima blade held high. She strikes the mecha from its right shoulder to its left him, and as the strike is completed, the room is still for a moment. No banter, no creak of warforged joints or human panting to break the silence; even the tremors appear to have paused. Slowly, painfully, the upper left part of EG-001's chassis slides down the angle of the cut, which is right through the Warforged's tattoo. The top half clatters to the floor, then the knees buckle and collapse as well.

The Hunters breathe a momentary sigh of relief, as the battle seems to be done. But EG-001's metallic voice ringing through the room disabuses them of the notion that this is over. Statement; this unit is a creation of pure arcane energy. Damage to its physical form is irrelevant to proper functionality, comes the voice, seemingly emanating from everywhere in the room at once. The two halves of the Warforged at Medinah and Jalil's feet vanish, reappearing by the cliff at the other side of the chamber. The protective bubble appears around it, as magic once again begins to knit the being of steel and wood back together.

Just as the warforged begins to repair itself, however, the tremors come to a sudden head as the entire room shakes. Erupting from the ground beneath the repairing Lord of War is a gigantic purple column of chitin. The beast grabs the machine in its jaws and crunches down, the metal and wood sizzling in the acidic saliva of what looks like a humongous worm. Seemingly dissatisfied with the taste, the creature spits the parts back out over the cliff, where they plummet an unknown distance. The beast then turns its maw towards the party, stone sizzling as acidic drool drips from its mouth. It roars in challenge, seemingly sensing them despite its lack of eyes.

The Hunters are not sure whether things have gotten better, or worse.

This is a purple worm. It is a distant cousin of the sand worms one can find out on the dunes, and is one of the largest bugs in the world. This one is an adult; it can tunnel through solid stone and has acidic saliva that can melt metal. It is almost certainly the creature responsible for the extensive remodeling of the tunnels. It is stupid and blind, but it can sense those in contact with the ground out to a considerable range, and can smell fear and defiance in its prey at closer range.

It has burrow (tunneling), blindsight and tremor sense, and the blind subtype. It is immune to illusion powers and gaze attacks.

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Amirah, Living Swarm

"Oooooh" comes Amirah's thought. "A purple worm. I have seen it before, but never this big. A baby was once part of the Swarm. But it didn't stay. He was too headstrong and stupid to be a member of the Swarm."

There is a pause, as the Swarm reshapes itself, bringing memories back to the surface. "He is blind, so illusions won't work, but will feel us if we walk on the ground. It also can smell us, if we are close to him. The mouth-water!saliva is dangerous: he uses it to make the tunnels."

Then, turning to Medinah, but sending the thought to everyone, "But it is so pretty. Do we have to kill it? Figment and We!Swarm are tired."

[Reverent-One]

Kihtsah Darimil, Dervish Adimas

Kihtsah wouldn't have been deterred from attacking the pirate lord, but this new enemy is another matter entirely. He takes cover behind a status before mentally conversing with his allies. "I am as well, Amirah, and I agree. Avoidance seems like our best bet, the tunnel to our left looks too small to hold it, I suggest we exercise some discretion and use it."

Rimefang's Garden
The beast plunges into the ground and then comes up again near Rahman, its massive jaws plunging down towards the kobold. The beast's mouth closes around the kobold as it takes a bite out of the floor along with him. Spitting crushed stone onto the floor, it roars at the other Hunters in challenge.

This is a purple worm. It is a distant cousin of the sand worms one can find out on the dunes, and is one of the largest bugs in the world. This one is an adult; it can tunnel through solid stone and has acidic saliva that can melt metal. It is almost certainly the creature responsible for the extensive remodeling of the tunnels. It is stupid and blind, but it can sense those in contact with the ground out to a considerable range, and can smell fear and defiance in its prey at closer range.

It has burrow (tunneling), blindsight and tremor sense, and the blind subtype. It is immune to illusion powers and gaze attacks.

As the Lord of war is eaten up by the worm, Alvah smile. Noding to his friends assesment of the situation the bard say,
"Yeah, we are pretty much battered, let's flee guys. I'll go pick up Rahman."
The bard take one step toward his fallen friend, but the worm is faster than expected and plunge at Rahman. Alvah can only stare as his new friend is eaten up.
"Rahman!!"
His mind working furiously, the bard rush forward and sing some old song about the desert cold nights. Air start to freeze around the purple worm.

"We can't leave Rahman behind eaten by some fat worms. Do you guys think we can take him? Fight or not?"

Alvah then heal Medinah, repositioning her a little and teleporting himself behind the statue, closer to the side exit.

Medinah

Medinah had to catch herself from dropping her sword in shock when the purple worm devoured her helpless friend. Any thought of waiting the monster out was out of the question now.

Rimefang's Garden
Kihtsah lands a solid strike on the beast, his amulet glowing to enhance the strike. However, the purple worm reactively lashes out, dusting a statue nearby and tossing the half-kobold back through the maze of statues, landing with a solid thud against one of those made from ice and slipping to the cold layer of frost on the floor around it.

It then proceed to charge Alvah, practically ripping the bard's arm off with a savage bite. It turns its ire on the swarm immediately after as Alvah lets out a cry of pain and instinctively reaches for the wound. It lunges its gnashing jaw into the swarm of insects with relish, but Amirah is too quick, and maneuvers the insects of the swarm out of the path of the hungry creature.

Its immediate reaction deals Kihtsah 28 damage (29 vs Reflex) and pushes him 6 squares, knocking him prone on top of it. The attack on Alvah critically hits for 41 damage. Amirah is missed (27 vs. AC).

Room Details
The room is affected by Elemental Hoarfrost. All fire damage is reduced by 2, and all cold damage is increased by 2.

The blue zone was made by Alvah. Standing in it gives +2 to attack rolls for your party.

Ice is slippery. A DC18 Acrobatics check is required when one enters an icy square for the first time in a turn, whether willingly or otherwise. If failed, you fall prone. If you succeed, you stay stable. If you succeed by 5 or more, you can perform a "controlled slide" and slide yourself 1 square as a free action, even if you're in the middle of a move action.

Statues grant cover, but they don't occupy their entire square; you can generally see past them and they aren't obscuring enough to use for stealth. The exception is the dragons, which grant total cover, so you can hide behind them. Statues are theoretically destructible, but you suspect that this is part of Rimefang's lair, and you probably don't want to make her angry. Statues on ice terrain are made of ice and not stone.

The black line at the back is a cliff. You cannot gauge what is beyond it or how big the drop is from your current vantage.

If you could help me patch it up, I'd be obliged, he adds, with a pained grin.
