The Invasion of Toril

[Archmage1]

"I can teleport 50 feet, and take 3 others with me. I think we could take the queen, although it would be risky."

[Medic!]

Krgg

Krgg rises to his feet and windmills his arms, stretching. If we don't have to wait, then what in the Nine Hells are we waiting for?

"Give it a try. If we can teleport in, we can teleport out. The queen seems to be having a hard time keeping us confined; she is resorting to intimidation, which is the tactic of the losing side."

[Archmage1]

"I will take both of you, and 1 other in the first trip. Who else wants to go over first? I will be coming back to grab everyone. Noru, could you give a detailed description of what is in the room, and what it's dimensions are? probably better to get somewhere where that there is a decent amount of space."

[Tharione]

"Can you teleport where you cannot see and have not been?"

Noru troll kneels down and drags a claw along the ground. Scratching a rough map of what he saw in the next rooms, and begins calculating something.

"Three taskmasters, two warriors, three Myrmarchs , not odds we haven't taken before. I'd suggest protecting everyone from domination that we can..."

He continues scratching.

"Even without assuming she can hear us in here without her 'children' there will likely be more in her room and the entire hive is probably on their way."

Dusts his hands off and rises from the floor

"Assuming she can hear us... Well, if she is even still there when we arrive her guardians will have converged on her chamber and likely received enhancing magic."

He smirks.

"A challenge to say the least."

[Archmage1]

"True, we will need to protect from mind altering magics, although that should not be too difficult. I suspect that the hive is running out of defenders, unless this hive is far larger than normal, for some reason. I can teleport to a location, or in a direction. Hopefully, you can give me a good direction to go to."

[Allyzedl]

Bailey asks Noru, "About how far did you teleport when you went to the other side of this wall?" He then points at the wall that Noru was standing at when he disappeared.

[Tharione]

"A ten foot jump got me to the other side."

Noru proceeds to the southwest corner of the room by the other prismatic wall and claws an x into the west wall

"Fifteen or Twenty feet, facing the wall will get you securely in the chamber before where i postulate her to be."

He claws an arrow on the floor more or less facing just south of the rooms corner.

"Twenty to thirty this way should land you in the appropriate room but, as I have not seen it, it would be a blind jump, much riskier."

[Allyzedl]

Bailey then says, "Alright, let's do this all at once then." He grabs onto Zipxap and Zaavariel. "I'll follow, you go first."

[Archmage1]

"All right Noru. We will take the less risky path. Can anyone shield the minds of Krgg and Zaavariel? It would make this plan a bit less risky. Those who want to be in the first wave, follow me."

Gale heads to the X that Noru marked in the west wall, and waits for the others who wish to cross first to follow.

[Allyzedl]

Bailey says, "I can take the rest after that if they so please."

[Zman]

"Greater protections for the mind would be appreciated, I'd hate to take any of your heads without cause.". Zaavariel holds his blade at the ready as he moves near Bailey renewing his arcane protections.

"I am ready."

**** on that, get it done now! Appearing to enjoy himself for the first time since they started traveling together, the orc is obviously excited. His feet grind into the tunnel floor and his fingers flex and tense up around the hilt of Foebane. For all intents and purposes he looks like an orc in a candy shop (full of kids)

Bleerie casts an area spell to empower her allies.

teleports 20 feet in front of her(she is facing th ex that Noru marked)

[Allyzedl]

Gale grabs onto Zaavariel, Bleerie, and Krgg, then teleports to the other side of the wall. They then see Bailey, Zipxap, and Noru appear out of the shadows in the room.

Looking around they notice a myrmarch right behind them, a warrior in front of Bleerie, and a warrior behind the party. Looking the the western tunnel they see a very dark room, which seems to be empty. Down the south hall they spot another room where they see a glowing myrmarch blocking the next tunnel and a taskmaster standing next to the lit up myrmarch.

The formian are caught off guard by your sudden appearance in the room.

Gale shoots an eldritch chain down the tunnel and into the next room, hitting the glowing ant, but the eldritch chain misses the taskmaster as it hits the sewer wall, causing a few pieces of debris to brake off and fall to the ground. Then, Bleerie pokes Zaavariel with something hard and casts a spell on him.

Krgg swings at the giant ant standing right in front of him, but manages to find some way to miss the myrmarch. An invisible creature claws at the myrmarch, hitting it with its first attack. Zaavariel swings his sword precisely at the warrior next to him, cutting it into two pieces.


Not being able to see the creature next to him, Bailey pulls out a cloth, puts it on his head, then ties it in a knot behind his head.


The taskmaster begins to cast a spell, Gale feels that something is trying to control her, however she is able to overpower the effect. Then the glowing myrmarch attempts to return the favor to Gale, it throws two javelins at her. Both of which pierce the human.

The other myrmarch stings Gale, which makes her feel a little lightheaded, then it bites her in the shoulder.


A warrior runs into the room from the side of the room south of you that you cannot see, it then attacks Gale, hitting the floor with its stinger as Gale dodges the formian. Then another myrmarch appears from around the corner, and stops in front of Gale, and attempts to sting her, it stabs her in her wounded shoulder.

Gale takes 7 damage, and is walking around just fine with 2 javelins stuck through her.

"You will not take my mind, ant!"

As the two javelins hit her, Gale just smiles, ignoring the impacts. The stings, on the other hand, cause her to stagger

so gale must be doing pretty well with fort saves so far...

Gale fires a blast of energy, point blank, into the myrmach that stabbed her in the shoulder. The blast almost seems to flicker with power as it leaves her hands. after firing the blast, Gale pauses for a second, blood leaking from her wounds, before disappearing, and re-appearing near the ceiling

"And more keep coming!" Zaavariel screams with a smile on his face, living for the thrill of a fight.

He whips his blade around at the Taskmaster next to Bleerie... Ending its sorcery decisively before continuing his blade and bite on to the larger Formain next to it.

Gale shoots a blast at the myrmarch in the tunnel, hitting it bouncing hitting the warrior next to it, then bounces again hitting the other myrmarch in the room. Zaavariel slices up the myrmarch in the tunnel next to him, and the myrmarch falls to the ground, at which point Zaavariel attacks the other myrmarch in the room. He hits it with his sword, then bites it.

Krgg then attacks the myrmarch in the middle of the room. He manages to miss his attack again, but then redeems himself when he hits an artery in the myrmarch’s neck as blood spews out of it.

Bleerie stands in the side of the room bracing for impact from any incoming attack. Noru claws at the myrmarch that is on the ground as it bleeds out, just to make sure that it is dead. He then bites and rakes the warrior to death. Noru’s trumpet archon skeleton then attacks the dead myrmarch in front of her.

Bailey the runs down the tunnel, stops in front of the glowing myrmarch and attacks it. Upon striking it, the glowing myrmarch disappears.

The taskmaster then begins to cast a spell on Bailey, however he is able to resist the effects of the spell. The warrior in the room attempts to sting Gale, hitting her image, then hits the image two more times with its claws.

Spoiler

Show

Think that there was a little confusion on the monsters this round. The taskmaster that Zaavariel attacked was actually a warrior, and dead, so he instead attacked the myrmarch until it was negative per his instructions on the taskmaster, then attacked the other myrmarch.

Krgg wanted to attack the glowing myrmarch with a full attack, but the glowing myrmarch is the one with a yellow hue in the room below, so he attacked the myrmarch that is standing next to him.

Noru wanted to attack a taskmaster, but is currently next to a warrior, so he will attack it instead.

Just reading over the polymorph ability, items that don’t fits your new form cease to function. So your ring of darkhidden that is sized for an elf, wouldn’t fit a large troll so isn’t functioning right now. However, the rest of your items because of their composition will stretch and be fine and work normally.

Standard action: total defense.
Free action: 5-foot step up left, between Z and the skeleton.
Move action: Spot check (1d20+6)[17] to look in the room the glowing myrmarch was covering. Important: if Bleerie sees that her vision is not much impaired by darkness or anything and she can have a good look of the room, she will expend her Divine Insight for a +15 on the check. I remind you that I can see invisible creatures by beating their Hide check (0+Dex(+size or other), in combat) by 20. If Bleerie sees that there is something in the way, she will save the spell for later.
