[IC] Rise of the Kitka

[SwordChucks]

Dexter looks at each of his companions before turning to the worm.

Umm...Hello Mr. Worm. We're here to help.

Dexter imagines a scenario where he and his allies stand triumphant over the kitka caster, hoping the worm can pick up on it.

Would anyone else like to address the, uh, creature before us? I haven't a clue where to go from here.

Dexter steps back and begins to sketch the strange beast in his book. He mutters No one will ever believe this part of the tale.

[r2d2go]

Another image of the kitka being chased away briefly flashes again, and then the worm turns and burrows into the surface ground across the pit, churning up the earth. Half way through, a image of three kitka coming towards the lab appears in your mind, seemingly only a couple hundred yards down the road. A moment later, the worm and the image is gone, the only trace a fifteen-foot circle of loose dirt in the otherwise grassy ground. However, anyone who looks down the road sees three figures moving quickly towards the party. Then, without any warning, bone shards fly from various crevices in the chamber, collecting in two of the labs. A few seconds later, runes appear on the sides of the rooms, and the bones form into two disturbing monstrosities of kitka - one demonic, flaming beast with huge claws and horns, another that coats it's chamber with frost and has a massive number of icicle-spines extruding from it's back plating.

"Mr worm, I shall not run away if you wish to help we could take the fight to them and avenge our lost comrades, Come Orion, let us take them down!"

[r2d2go]

As Orion and Henry leap into action, Aurelian shouts "I'll take care of the burning one! I can handle a bit of fire...". As he speaks, his blade starts to hum with the divine energy channeled through it, glowing a soft gold that contrasts the lethal nature of his greatsword.

Henry tells Orion to move next to the Ice Kitka and I attacked with my lance as he moved in to attack with a bit.

I figure Orion is longer not wider (due to having four feet) so I thought they can both reach the opponent since Henry sits closer
to the middle/back of Orion's back so he has to use a reach weapon.

[r2d2go]

As the bolt of energy from Dexter's new bow crashes into the blazing kitka, it lets out a deafening shockwave, shattering or cracking most of the kitka's bone plating and revealing glowing red lines of energy underneath. Then, Orion and Henry take on the icy kitka - unfortunately, both blows glance of the thick plating, and Henry and Orion begin to feel the chill of the freezing aura.

Next, Aurelian charges the fiery kitka, his greatsword smashing through the weakened plating. The flames wreathing the kitka rise up, but Aurelian merely grins as the fire seem to glance harmlessly off his skin.

Both creatures look essentially like "normal" kitka at their base - a torso made of four foot-wide plated segments, a long, pointed skull, legs made of three smaller pointed sections, a scorpion-like tail tipped with a six-inch blade, and huge claws on their front feet.

Scorpio's strolls down the ramp, blasting the freezing kitka with sonic energy and shattering bone. Then, with a flick of a wrist, two beams of fiery energy shoot out of his palm, one of them striking through the now-fractured plating and into the bright blue energy lying underneath. The kitka seems to writhe in pain, and seeing his opportunity, Quill dashes past the kitka and strikes it from behind, his newly enhanced kusarigama striking a gap in the first layer of plating, shattering the second layer beneath just as it shattered rock in Hlal's demonstration. However, the two kitka manage to hold their nearly broken bodies together, and simultaneously attack - one at Aurelian and one at Orion. Both strike with lightning speed, their claws blurring and striking with unerring accuracy.

The blazing kitka manages to slip through Aurelian's heavy platemail, but misses his vitals by a hair. His second attack, however, makes up for this, ripping up vital organs and leaving Aurelian sprawled on the ground, dazed. Similarly, the icy kitka manages to catch Orion on the neck, leaving a deep gash down to the drakkensteed's skull and stunning him with the impact. A moment later, he is also caught by a vicious slash from the kitka's tail as well, leaving him prone and severely wounded.

No Knowledge, though if you want to move skill points from leveling up into Knowledge (kitka) that could be a thing. A very useful thing And yeah, sneak attack applies to the target of the arrow enhanced by Sonic Shot - the spell enhances an arrow, rather than have an effect on it's own. Those in the wide blast radius, though, are not affected.

[r2d2go]

Dexter's second shot smashes through the kitka's weakened skull, creating a small explosion of flame and shattered bone. Fortunately, Aurelian's platemail and resistance to fire deflect most of the blast, and he remains conscious, though still somewhat stunned. However, as you dash down, you notice that the two figures, which you can now see appear to be "ordinary" kitka, are sprinting towards the fight, now only a couple hundred feet away.

[r2d2go]

Arjhan's first, smaller ball of acid whizzes by the ice kitka, but the second splashes on a weakened joint, bringing the kitka to near death - at this point, most of it's plating lies crumbled on the ground, and it barely manages to drag its mangled body along. However, a moment later, it collapses, unable to continue, and the frame of cyan energy beneath bursts into a miniature blizzard, slashing and freezing those nearby.

A moment later, the kitka from further down the row come sprinting over. One pounces on Scorpio as he walks out of the bottom floor, tackling him to the ground and mutilating his flesh, while another bearing huge, shieldlike claws, simply stands guard in front of the ramp.

[r2d2go]

Dexter's sonic shot nearly blows apart the claw kitka, leaving most of its plating littered on the ground behind it, in addition to severely weakening the shield kitka. Unfortunately, the cacophonous roar deafens Scorpio, as well as nearly deafening Dexter.

Aurelian, realizing he won't be able to reach the kitka if he charges, instead moves over to Orion and channels positive energy into the Drakkensteed's body, healing his wounds. "Those slashes looked nasty... might need it if you're going in.

"I won't let them get you so easily this time..." Henry places his hands on Orion healing him.

Bluh, sorry, forgot that Scorpio's stunned anyway...

The Shield Kitka, seeing Scorpio mostly incapacitated, begins to walk towards Dexter and Orion. However, rather than attack them, the creature slams its shields together, creating a loud crash. When the sound fades, the kitka's eyes seem to glow brighter, enticing the party to attack it.

A moment later, the claw kitka leaps through the air with an inhuman shriek, slamming into Dexter, ripping flesh and crushing bone. Its eyes, now easily seen through shattered skull, glow with fiery rage, and it seems to have forgone precision for vicious, indiscriminate slashes. Despite not hitting any vital points, the flurry smashes and rips so much muscle and bone that Dexter can barely move, but he manages to stay conscious despite excruciating pain - for the moment.

Scorpio, still stunned by the Claw Kitka's vicious strike, can only groggily look on as the creature attacks again, this time splitting his attacks between Orion and Dexter. Dexter manages to dodge under the first slash, but the second strikes true, leaving him unconscious on the ground and slowly bleeding to death. The creature also strikes Orion once with his claws, piercing the drakkensteed's abdomen, then follows with a stab of its tail through the neck, reopening the recently healed wounds. However, Orion manages to stay very much conscious despite the vicious assault.

At the same time, the Shield Kitka slams his shields again, drawing all to attack him.

Orion, injured as he is, attempts to claw at the kitka that dealt such grievous wounds. However, he is too shaken by the previous assault, and his feeble strike glances off the kitka's still partially-intact plating. However, Henry makes up for this as he lunges with his ranseur, catching the kitka where its plating is weak and shattering it. As he yanks the point of his polearm out, further bone crumbles onto the floor, leaving a gaping hole in the kitka's side. The hole continues widening, causing the kitka to slowly collapse, crumbling into pieces on the floor, revealing a skeleton-frame of arcane energy. Finally, when the corrosion reaches the kitka's skull, the glowing eyes wink out, and the remaining plating flies outward as the frame underneath explodes. However, this blast seems to be mostly harmless, as no one is harmed. Seeing his ally fallen, the claw kitka turns to flee, but Scorpio is gathering his wits and there seems to be no escape.

Aurelian, noting that there's no way for the claw kitka to escape, and that Scorpio can likely off it with a cantrip, prioritizes keeping Dexter alive. He steps back and channels healing energy, sealing the worst of Dexter's wounds and allowing him to regain consciousness.

[r2d2go]

Scorpio's volley of arcane missiles crash into the dying kitka, shattering it in three separate locations. Just like the Shield kitka, this one bursts in a mostly harmless blast of light and energy, littering its remains on the ground.

[Nightraiderx]

"This was definitely not an easy battle, we should take refuge somewhere else before more arrive..."
Henry pulled his spear out of the shield Kitka, "They seem to have adapted many styles, even this one has developed
techniques to provoke. This isn't good, they're learning."

[r2d2go]

Aurelian begins healing the party, trying to regain his divine energy as fast as possible to heal more quickly. "Indeed. We should head back quickly. With the huge creatures we met as allies, we should be able to win this war, but only if we defeat the caster before they evolve further.
