Lereth; Stormport(IC thread)

[Togath]

The figure doesn't move as you enter the room.

[Athaleon]

Laine stays in the doorway, keeping his bow taut, and aimed at the other room. He whispers over his shoulder,

"Is that him?"

[Togath]

"I do not think it's him, I'm not sure it's even alive"
The fairy continues to wait slightly outside of the door

You also notice that some time has passed, and it's now about forty minutes until sunset.

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

When the figure does not react to Zarabeth entering the room, Linteshar enters as well, looking around to see if there is anything else of note

ZARABETH

Keeping her swords out and ready, Zarabeth approaches the figure, trying to discern what it is and if it is alive.

[Togath]

Linteshar:
You notice small foot prints leading towards the cloaked figure, and there are outlines that show several things(probably maps or paintings) have recently been removed from the western wall of the northern room.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth approaches the robed figure, even poking it with the tip of her sword, to see if there is any reaction. She also signals for the rest to enter the room.

[Togath]

It does not react as you prod it. From poking it with your sword, it feels like it's made of wood or clay.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Its all clear, come on in. Its just a dummy of some sort

Zarabeth will check the mannequin for anything valuable or of note.

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

Linteshar will leave Zarabeth to check on the dummy, she will check the stairs going up to see if they are trapped.

Linteshar:
as you move towards the stairs you feel a sudden feeling of dizzyness and weakness and hear a loud humming noise in your ears.

Laine

Laine's blood runs cold as he realizes the trio has walked into a trap. As the dummy begins to glow and twitch, he yells "Clear out!" and moves out of the room.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Clear out? Why? The funs just getting started.

With her blades already out, Zarabeth is into battle with a swirl of her skirts. Her Abjurant Champion powers allow her to bring up a Shield spell with just a thought, and then her blades are slicing at the dummy.

[Togath]

Your swords strike true, though the tough material of the construct reduces their impact slightly.

All:
Soon after the construct is hit, it starts to shake violently, and slowly starts to float off of the floor, until it is about ten feet above the ground, suddenly a flurry of small, but hypnotic, green lights start to flash across it's surface.
OOC: DC 24 will save to negate, check below table only if you end up failing the save.

Laine:(1d100)[51] suddenly you are filled with overwhelming fear of the strange construct, and flee the room in an attempt to escape from the construct on your next turn.

Linteshar:(1d100)[84] You feel an uncontrollable urge to attack Zarabeth(make an attack against her using normal modifiers on your next turn).

Zarabeth:(1d100)[95] You feel an uncontrollable urge to attack Linteshar(make an attack against her using normal modifiers on your next turn).

As it continues to emit the strange flashs of light, some of the sword marks on the construct start to fade.

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

(1d20+13)[19] Will save

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

(1d20+8)[18] Will save

[Athaleon]

Laine

Will Save: (1d20+5)[12]

[MikelaC1]

Okay, Linteshar missed her action in the first round due to Daze, so she acts first in the next round. Laine will be fleeing, so Linteshar will cast on Zarabeth as that is her most effective attack form.

LINTESHAR

The strange construct has a wierd effect on Linteshar's normally strong mind and with a seductive smile, she turns and casts a Hold Monster on Zarabeth, attempting to freeze her in place and make her an easy target.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth is turning towards Linteshar with murder in her eyes, but the spell from the succubus catches her and freezes her in place.

(1d20+8)[24]

EDIT: Zarabeth is frozen and loses action, Laine flees, guess the monster is up now.

[Athaleon]

Laine

Laine bolted from the room, sprinting for the building's exit. His erstwhile compatriots were insane, he was sure of it. Didn't they see the glowing runes? That dummy could be rigged to explode for all he knew.

[Togath]

As Laine starts to flee, the construct's lights start to slow, but they are still clouding your minds.
Laine:(1d100)[27]: You start babbling incoherently
Linteshar:(1d100)[36]: You start babbling incoherently
Zarabeth:(1d100)[41]: You start babbling incoherently, or at least you would if you were stunned.

Zarabeth:

suddenly you hear a loud, deep rumbling in your subconscious, and for a split second see through the eyes of the strange construct.
ooc: roll a fort save

Laine and Linteshar:

Spoiler

Show

with a quick flash of green light it seems like Zarabeth and the construct switch places, though it only lasts or an instant

edit: didn't expect it to incapacitate the entire group at once

[Togath]

With a sound like hundred of pieces of glass breaking, the construct swings both cloaked arms in Linteshar's direction and conjures a strange shard of some sort of crystal, which flies in her direction.

Spoiler

rolling for hit: (1d20+21)[37] ranged touch. damage: (8d6)[32] piercing

And scores a clean hit(for 32 piercing damage) before fading into nothingness once more.

After this your minds finally begin to clear, and you can think clearly once more.((ooc: confusion has worn off))

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Paralyzed by Linteshar's spell, Zarabeth now feels some sort of assualt coming from the construct. She desperately attempts to fight it off.

(1d20+12)[18] Fort save.

EDIT: Dont know what the DC is, but I have a feeling that didnt make it.

[Togath]

Zarabeth:

Spoiler

Show

For an instant you feel like you're covered in frost, but the sensation quickly fades.
((at least at the moment you feel fine, other then Linteshar's spell))

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

With the constructs wierd mental abilities wearing off on her, Linteshar examines the situation. She calls for Laine to return to the room and moves to dispel the magic that she cast on Zarabeth.

Otherwise, are you alright?

[Athaleon]

Laine

The danger having passed, Laine rushes back into the room. "Are you two all right? We need to move, our quarry has surely used this time to escape."

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

With Laine rejoining the group, Linteshar moves once again to check the stairs to see if they are trapped or safe.

(1d20+24)[34] Perception

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth attempts to shake off the strange frostiness that temporarily overcame her, and waits for the results of Linteshar's search.

[Togath]

ooc: it's actually alive and still attacking.

The construct unleashes a strange bestial, howl. As it does this you feel like you've been hit by a strong impact.
everyone takes (14d6)[49] untyped damage with a DC 27 will save halving the damage

[MikelaC1]

And scores a clean hit(for 32 piercing damage) before fading into nothingness once more.

I thought the construct was no longer in the room???
