Amirah, Living Swarm

Amirah continues to struggle against the magics of the ghost lady as it shivers back to vaguely humanoid shape. Her arms are moving even before the shape finishes defining, and soon another animal joins the fray, this time an eagle that plummets towards the ghost, and then hovers above it looking for a second chance to attack.

Teshiq couldn't move from the dark energy on him but a blast of light issues forth from his holy symbol already in his hand at the ghost proving a chance to remove the ill effect from Hakpur.

[Shadow_Elf]

The Fang of the Deep - Enemy Phase

Though Rahman and Teshiq's attacks miss, the rest of the Hunters manage to get at least one hit in their sudden unveiling of their powers. Hakhpur's deadly thunder breath is evaded by both the ghost and the priest's mount, but as the priest is hit by the magic, he channels divine magic of his own to reroute the damage into his mount, killing it. It collapses onto the body of its deceased counterpart and rolls to the side, leaving the deadly cleric on a small mound of scaly corpses.

The ghost, more than a little perturbed by Amirah's falcon, slips carefully back away from the hole, but not before Kihtsah's defiant divine magic curses her defense against weapon attacks. She then giggles as she bats the bird away, killing it, before she unleashes a gout of inky darkness from her mouth once again, targeting Teshiq, Rahman, Kihtsah and Hakhpur. The breath proves successful on all of her intended targets - she laughs with delight.

Spoiler

Show

The ghost shifts to D11 and unleashes her breath weapon once again. She hits all four of you; Kihtsah, Rahman and Teshiq all take 19 necrotic damage, Hakhpur takes 9 necrotic damage (after resist) and all of you take OG 10 necrotic & are immobilized (save ends).

Killing the bird was just fluff - she wasn't going to be provoking any AoOs with her attacks, so I had her kill it off-handedly for flavour purposes.

Once the ghost child has finished with her wave of darkness, the she-da-zhong archers both strike. The one that is still mounted has its mount back off from Medinah's deadly blade and strike her with its stinger while he shoots her nearly point blank with an arrow. The other fires at Rahman, obeying the Aegis upon him. The stinger strikes true and works its deadly poison into the warforged's system, but both arrows go wide of their marks, as usual.

Spoiler

Show

The last living beastie shifts 1 square south. Both arrows miss, but from the stinger, Medinah takes 14 damage and ongoing 10 poison damage (save ends). Remember that those within 2 squares of the living beast take a -2 penalty to all defenses and saves while taking OG poison.

Finally, the priest makes his move. He moves away from Medinah and her deadly sword, closer to where Hakhpur is (or was, if he used The Falaqui to escape after the ghost's breath weapon) and begins to weave his deadliest spell once again, launching it at Medinah. The flying beast's poison assaults her mind, leaving her dazed and confused.

Spoiler

Show

Medinah takes 23 psychic damage and is dazed (save ends). If Hakhpur is still in his old spot, he gets an attack of opportunity.

Amirah, Living Swarm

The bird drops from the sky as the ghostly figure attacks it, and then explodes into flames. A small ember springs upwards, quickly growing and turning back into the original bird. Amirah signals and directs it to the only enemy she can see, the scaly priest.

Without even waiting for the bird to attack, Amirah jumps into the air and flies upwards, clawing against the magics that restrain her movement and barely making it to the upper deck.

The wolf finally manages to break free of the insidious magic that had kept it paralysed, and rushes towards the stairs to join the fray.

The Fang of the Deep - Mid-Player Phase Update

Amirah's falcon strikes true, drawing still more blood from the priest. As she ascends to the deck in her raven form, however, the priest's staff swings down to intercept. At the last moment, the end of the staff comes alive and tries to bite Amirah. Rahman's Aegis causes the attack to just barely go wide, however.

Kihtsah Darimil, Dervish of Adimas

Not content to let the ghost get away that easily, Kihtsah grabs the Amulet at his neck, releasing it's power to blast away the shadows holding him back. Then, leaping across the gap, he slashes at the ghost once more.

The Fang of the Deep - Mid-Player Phase Update

As Kihtsah makes his majestic leap, the ghost takes a swipe with her deadly touch. The attack lands, but only harms Kihtsah a little bit.

Spoiler

Show

The jump provokes an AoO from the ghost, and since Rahman is dazed, he can't invoke his Aegis. Kihtsah takes 8 necrotic damage from the attack. This is exactly enough to bloody him, which extinguishes Heart of Fire, so the Priest and the Ghost do not take that 10 fire damage.

Hakhpur

Before the priest cast his spell, Hakhpur wielded his staff and gave a strong, violent hit to the caster's head, letting him bloodied.

It took a little longer than expected for the gnoll sorcerer to realize he was somewhat reckless before. However, this time he controlled his temper and remained focused in the battle; even if targetting the flying she-da-zhong was tempting, he felt that the priest was a major threat. The ghost was annoying indeed, but it would be easier to destroy it when the rest of her allies (if so) are fallen.

The necrotic energy surrounding him doesn't affect Hakhpur majorly. Using this as an advantage, the sorcerer gave a sly smile to the priest as he extended his hand pointing at him. Echoing energy started to accumulate in his hand, giving a chance to the priest to strike.

"What's wrong?" he taunted. "You can't make your pet to eat my blasts? Well, if you don't do something, you might not survive this one..."

He grinned, waiting for the priest's incoming attack before launching his blast...

The priest's biting staff is easily evaded by Hakhpur, but after teleporting and launching his retaliatory salvo, Hakhpur realizes that his own attack was also evaded.

Hakhpur should actually be at 63 HP, I think; you forgot to take his ongoing 10 poison damage last turn. Maybe 66 if I made a math mistake, but definitely one of those two.

The Fang of the Deep - Enemy Phase, Part 1

The ghost unleashes her globe of darkness once again and then vanishes through the floor, reappearing on the sterncastle. As Kihtsah makes an opportunistic strike with his off-hand weapon, the Luck of Adimas smiles upon him and, although he is blinded, his sword still strikes true. His combat rhythm affords him some opportunity to move off of the troublesome beast carcasses, if he chooses. The ghost cackles as she retaliates with her mind-affecting bolt, hitting Kihtsah dead-on.

Spoiler

Kihtsah can shift 2 squares (1 from his power and 1 from his rhythm) and deals 15 damage on his opportunity attack. He also takes 19 psychic damage and is slowed (save ends) by the ghost's ranged attack. Also keep in mind that a Burst 2 centered on the ghost's former space is now filled with obscuring darkness. The ghost flew belowdecks and then back up to E14, taking no further AoOs. Its late, so I shall post the rest of my turn tomorrow afternoon - I'd also like a chance to let Reverent-One decide where he ends up shifting to, as it could affect the turns of the other monsters.

The Fang of the Deep - Enemy Phase, Part 2

The archer bearing Rahman's Aegis, unable to see his quarry through the globe, fires upon Hakhpur instead, but the arrow goes wide. The archer bearing Medinah's Aegis fires on her. This arrow is successful - the poison seeps into her system. Since she's already poisoned, the beast that archer is riding picks a separate quarry; Amirah. The sting is successful, if a little ineffectual, but the poison manages to reach some members of the swarm. Capitalizing on Medinah's dazed state, the priest side steps away from Amirah and casts a spell on her - her hawk takes this chance to retaliate. The spell fails, but it still leaves Amirah dazed.

Spoiler

Medinah takes 12 damage, ongoing 5 poison and is dazed (save ends both). Amirah takes 13 damage pre-reduction and ongoing 10 poison. Amirah is also dazed by the priest's spell UENT, but not until she has a chance to command her falcon to strike again (feel free to roll that).

Following that, he raises his staff and a dazzling white lightning falls from the sky affecting two she-da-zhongs and the wyvern. The ground surrounding them is now covered in burning ambers.

Amirah is unhurt, but shaken, by the priest's attack. Instinctively, she pulls away from the attack, her shape loosing cohesion and becoming just a mass of angrily buzzing insects.

The Fang of the Deep - Enemy Phase

Once again, the Hunters savage their foes. Great burns are inflicted on the last mounted She-Da-Zhong by Hakhpur's spell, wounds which bleed painfully. Its beast is subsequently bloodied by Kihtsah's sweeping Khopesh. The priest, knocked into the hold by a shove from Amirah, barely retains consciousness. Only the ghost giggles and laughs throughout the return salvo.

The last remaining beast, terrified by the globe of darkness and the scent of its dead counterparts, and suffering greatly from its many wounds, takes flight, soaring away from its foes as fast as it can. It lashes out with its claws at Kihtsah, distracting the half-efreet kobold just long enough for the beast to escape his reach. The archer takes a shot at Hakhpur in parting, and then the beast soars away, out of the effective reach of the Hunters.

Spoiler

Show

The beast ends up like 18 squares north of the Fang of the Deep, so there's nothing you guys can really do to kill it now. Scylfing, I will rule that Medinah's Aegis is overextended and you recharge it, since both of your targets are now unmarked (Rahman overmarked the Priest, and the archer is gone). Kihtsah takes 20 damage from a critical claw attack. Hakhpur is hit by the arrow and takes 11 damage (5, because of insubstantial) and also takes OG 5 poison and is dazed (save ends both). Keep in mind that OG damage of the same damage keyword does not stack, but you still have to save vs. both.

Next, the ghost makes her move. She doesn't do much; apparently, the energy that fuels her more powerful abilities has yet to build up again. So she fires another of her mind bolts, at Kihtsah once again, though she passes through the floor and back up again, as this seems to somehow empower her. With a metal force to knock the kobold off his feet... the bolt misses by a hair's breadth, allowing Kihtsah to stay conscious. Her globe fades, and she cries out in frustration.

Kihtsah is missed by her attack.

Meanwhile, from the hold, the she-da-zhong priest unsteadily brings himself to his feet. He doesn't have a great shot, but he tries to hit Amirah with a spell anyway. Unsurprisingly, his shot misses dramatically because of the cover provided by the intervening floors.

Spoiler

Show

Amirah is missed spectacularly by a mix of her superior cover from him and his Gods-awful roll.

Hakhpur (HP: 50/95)

"Sh***... These snake-guys are taking full advantage of poisons..." Hakhpur thinks. "I'm feeling dizzy... Should I force my Phase to change...? Or wait for it to change naturally..."

Then as the wyvern and its rider fled the scene (with some burns from the scorching ground of the spell Hakhpur cast recently), he realized they were too far away to be reached by a ranged spell. He shook his head in disapproval, fighting against the weariness the poison provoked.

"Bah," he grumbles, "I should probably capture this one so I can join the others in eradicating that annoying child..."

He pointed his staff towards the archer who shot the poisoned arrow and released a sonic blast aiming at the she-da-zhong, which allowed Hakhpur to accomodate his position, dazed or not.

Rahman Shamis, Kobold Swordmage

"Warn the captain!" Rahman shouted over his shoulder in the direction of Amirah. "That rider has to report into somewhere!" Finally free of the magics that had been inhibiting him for the moment, Rahman turns and chases around the corner to where the ghost had phased through the wall, steam hissing and popping noises coming from his battlefist as he swung it at the specter.

Hakhpur

Even if Hakhpur was not dazed anymore, there was still some amount of poison running through his veins. However, that didn't stop him from giving some advice regarding the ghost's defenses.

"That child, guys," he shouts to his companions, "she's so fragile as she seems. Hit her with something that force her to use muscle over mind!"

Done! Now everyone knows that Fortitude is the ghost's weakest defense.
