Re: Forge of Fury IC
Tarak
The hobgoblin renews his invisible armor with a flourish of his hands, "Let's go then. If we're successful, it might actually increase the odds that we can get enough rest to be effective tomorrow."
He leads the entourage out of the tavern, past the barricade, then north. Raising his mask he hisses to the others, "The stench is powerful, find something to put over your mouth and nose if you can."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Suga pauses at one of the re-dead zombies from earlier in the day and uses some of its clothing to make a handkerchief. It smells bad, but maybe the stench will help deal with the greater stench Tarak warns about. He continues to quietly follow Tarak.

"You plan on running off to fight more undead tonight?" Ashlyn asks. "How many of these ghasts were there? Do you have more healing, or any combat spells?"

"I've spells, but alas they're not of much use against undead such as these. I've a bit of healing power left in my belt and a couple of potions. How 'bout you Feagon?"
The hobgoblin puts a hand on the paladin's shoulder, "I share some of your doubt ma'am, but these three ghasts are just up the street to the north...I think Suga's correct in think they should be taken out as soon as possible."

"Yeah, we're not afraid or weak, we can handle it!", Celesta proclaims, "But if it makes you feel better I can have another drink." She retrieves a second potion from her pack and downs it too.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Ashlyn draws her brows up in an expression of unpleasant irony. "No, not again. If you're set on this, I'll come with you."
Leaving the inn, Tarak guides you back to the junction where he briefly encountered the ghasts. The zombies he saw come in view of himself and Suga.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Tarak
Tarak motions to the door on the right at the end of the street and whispers, "That's where the ghasts were holed up, remember to cover your mouth and nose if you can....the stench is sickening. Give me just a second to see if I can get the zombies to move away."
Ducking over to the west side of the street, the hobgoblin moves forward silently, then quietly mutters an incantation under his breath....down the street a village woman dressed like those back at the tavern appears in the street near the zombies. A moment later she lets out an ear piercing screaming, turns and runs east away from the zombies.
Spoiler: Silent Image + Ghost SoundMove forward to AC22 stealth (1d20+15)[33], summon a silent image of a village woman AH14
Turn Invisible as a swift action and move to AC18 and cast Ghost Sound(scream) AH15
Not sure if I have this right, but Silent Image requires concentration, which isn't broken if you cast another spell(that doesn't require concentration).....Silent Image is a 'long range' spell and Tarak is trying to get into position to be able to move the image down the street and maintain concentration. I don't think your run of the mill zombies have Life Sense, BUT this ain't my world(lol) and these may not be run of the mill zombies; if it turns out they do, then that's valuable info that I think is well worth blowing a couple spells to find out. Let me know if I need any more rolls or if I'm missing something.

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Suga clenched his teeth in frustration when the zombies came into view. Supposed to have just been ghasts. There goes our surprise. The orc was about to abort the mission when Tarak moved forward and created the distraction. He whispered to Celesta. "Remember, better to hit them than swinging too hard and hitting air. If the zombies come to us we need to draw the fight away from the ghasts."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
As the undead come into view, Feagon grinds his teeth. As Tarak begins his casting, Feagon does the same. "If we can hold off engagement, I can improve our chances with some protective magic. I also have this wand where I can cast the spell I used before, causing the roots of the earth to reach up and hold them." as he reaches over and touches Celest again.

"If they are stuck in the middle of the spell we won't be able to get to them. We'd have to wait for the spell to end then back to where we are now right? Maybe wait a little on that spell and catch them at a better time? If the ghasts are stuck in the middle they may call out for reinforcements."

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Tarak's spell produces almost the opposite of the reaction he was trying for. Whatever motivates the seemingly mindless zombies to attack the living and not their fellow undead, their complete lack of reaction to the illusionary woman suggests they do not classify her as a target. However, almost immediately, the eastern door swings open and three corpses with glinting eyes and much sharper teeth emerge, rushing east around the corner after the woman.
For the moment, all the undead remain unaware of you--though the ghasts likely won't take long to realize there's something strange going on.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Forge of Fury IC
"Oh, okay. Thanks!", Celesta replies with a grin.
When the ghasts step into view, Celesta's first instinct is to charge to attack, maybe catch them off guard. However, she was still feeling a little ill and her companions were more into this 'silent careful approach' kind of thing anyway, so she chooses to wait for the moment. Axe in hand and ready to swing of course.Alamryn Kven, a druid who tries very hard not to be useless.

Spoiler: OCThrow away a round of actions to double move. Tarak will continue to concentrate on the illusion, but presumably needs line of sight to make it effective

Re: Forge of Fury IC
You hear the ghasts talking, but it's kind of hard to make out what they're saying from this distance.
Spoiler: Perception 20"Where'd she go?"
"There was something off even before she disappeared. Could you smell her?"
"These corpses didn't seem to. Some kind of trick?"
"Gah."
"Wait, if someone's playing tricks, they gotta be around here somewhere."
After a minute of discussion, they reappear from around the corner, their glinting eyes looking around. The zombies continue not to react to them in any way.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Forge of Fury IC
Tarak
Mumbling a few words under his breath, the hobgoblin points his fingers to the adjacent alcove, then glances at his companions as they huddle around the corner, "One last trick to see if we can separate the zombies and ghasts."
From around the corner the party hears the voice of what seems to be a little boy in distress, "Momma! Momma, where did you go? Momma!"

"Is it real this time?" The ghasts' eyes swivel toward you.
"If it's not, those look edible. Unless they're fake too."
"Looks like a fight, though. Let's see if we can get these shamblers moving." The speaking ghast pushes one of the zombies toward you. After a second, the zombie, letting out a low moan, starts moving toward you purposefully, the other zombies just a trace behind it.

The zombies shamble forward; Suga and Celesta cut into two of them, and Ashlyn steps up and slashes at one as well. Tarak's slice bounces off his target's thick hide. "That looks real enough!" one of the ghasts chortles, and they press in behind the zombies as the zombies attack.
