(IC) Festival of Heroes - Outside Juvelnord City

Aurix thinks to everyone, "Do we seriously think this is going to work? I intend to be ready to fight."

Aurix dismounts from Aurora and says, "We will leave you alone if you leave us alone."

"Divine Light of the sun!"

A 10'-radius of light burst from the intersection of P/Q, 3/4 and encompassed three of the drow.

Spoiler: DM/Spellcraft DC 17

Show

Burst of Radiance
This spell fills the area with a brilliant flash of shimmering light. Creatures in the area are blinded for (1d4)[1] rounds, or dazzled for (1d4)[1] rounds if they succeed at a Reflex save. Evil creatures in the area of the burst take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (max (5d4)[8]), whether they succeed at the Reflex save or not.
DC 20

[EdgeGrinder]

The Drow scoffed at the General's attempt to demoralize them.

Blue Dagger, Pink Dagger, and Orange Bow grasped their faces and bellowed in pain as the blight light exploded around them .

Atop her centaur friend's back, Princess Geiravor spied Orange Bow. With Gungnir in hand, she spun the spear shaft in her hands in Spear Dance Reach style (Swift action).

B Dmg (3d8+21)[38]

The first attack hit its mark as it left a gash on Orange Bow. The rest were dodged.

[Wolfykins]

Aurora's eyes narrowed. "That spell wouldn't have hurt them, only hindered their sight, unless they're evil!" she projected.

[dysmorphia]

Seeing the drows cry out from the light, the centaur gets an idea. He rears up and calls upon the Divine, one hand held high, his vestigial wings spread wide.

Spoiler: Abyssal

"I call the light of the Sun! Blind my enemies!"

Spoiler: Spellcraft DC 23

Sunburst

Spoiler: K. Divine DC 33

Show

Sunburst

A globe of searing radiance explodes in the center of the drow, in an 80-ft radius, blinding the creatures within and causing (6d6)[31] damage. A creature to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural takes double damage. A successful Reflex save of DC 25 negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half.

[Wolfykins]

Aurora winced and reflexively covered her eyes as Kest's spell went off. It saved her from being blinded, but she still felt a slight sizzle from the power released.
She let her breath out in a hiss between her teeth as she lowered her hand from her face.
"That... may not have been the best idea, Kest," she muttered wryly.

[Andrew Markham]

Aurix hisses and turns away from the light in time. He sees Torilee and Geiravor similarly struggle to avoid the intense light. The sunlight sears away some of his magically enhanced vitality. He thinks loudly, but open to the group, "Explain yourself now!" The anger in his voice is clear and unrestrained.

[dysmorphia]

The power that came from that spell made the centaur wince and stumble a little, but he was not blinded. Then his ... companions ... questioning his intentions - well, that only made the centaur withdraw within himself more. He sorely wished Lumont was here to back him up.

"A bit more power than intended..." he thought at Aurix, knowing his own Common language abilities were still inadequate. "Is anyone injured too badly?"

[Darius Vibrtrar]

As the flare from the burst came umbear seemed to move out of the way for a moment, unscathed.

"I see im going to have to train you in restrain Kest. Thats going to be amusing."

[Andrew Markham]

Aurix sends to everyone but Kestejoo, "He says he didn't intend it. I believe him."

Spoiler: Kestejoo

"Injuries are minor." Aurix reports. He considers, then adds, "Magic can get away from you, so be careful. I'm counting on you to help me keep the Princess and Aurora safe while we're in here."

[Croverus]

ZeetZeet finishes squeezing through the first gap and goes to the second, squeezing though the second thin path and rushing to catch up with Markas.

[EdgeGrinder]

Geiravor was singed slightly from the Sunburst, but her vision was intact.

The Drow Daggers seemed to suffer no effects from the spell and guarded their vision. The Drow Bows blocked the light from their eyes but were sizzled slightly from the spell.

Unfortunately, the Red Reavers were in range of the spell. Yellow, Pink, White, Gray, and Blue Reavers held their eyes. All Reavers were burnt by the bright light. Brown and Purple Reavers began to grunt. All the Reavers joined in the grunting.

You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity, the scent ability, a +2 enhancement bonus on trip attacks, and can make a trip combat maneuver as a swift action. This trip attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Her ears became longer in an instant. Her body hair thickened. Her teeth sharpened. Once transformed, she stayed where she was.

[Darius Vibrtrar]

Umbear shakes his head as the Orange Bow Drow makes such a half hazard move as using a bow so close to him. Dark energy swirls around his fist as his arm lenthens from the liquid form upon him. He swings at Orange Bow in response to the unprotected attack.

Spoiler: Markas & Zeetzeet

Show

As Markas passes Zeetzeet, the peeping and scraping both heard earlier turned into full-on screeching and squealing, with fluttering wings and more vigorous scraping. Neither could see anything, but it sure sounded like the same cacophony the horde of baby cockatrices made when Zeetzeet disturbed the first bunch.
Markas proceeded onward, choosing to go the long way around instead of taking the second shortcut. When he reached where the shortcut opened back up into the tunnel he was in, there was yet more enraged squealing and fluttering as Markas passed by.
The angry sounds moved away from Zeetzeet, following Markas, but it sounded like they went through the shortcut instead of going around the way he did. Then Markas felt the prickle of claws as thousands of baby cockatrices began crawling on him, becoming visible as they began biting and biting! More dove at his face from the air, biting and biting for [roll0] damage! (Markas needs to make a DC 22 fort save or be petrified.)
It sounded like there was twice as many baby cockatrices near Markas as were visible.

Spoiler: Normal vision

Show

Markas flinched at the scratching of the cockatrice chicks, but was otherwise unharmed. He noticed ZeetZeet coming towards him and called out, "I'm betting that these little punks won't give chase like the last bunch. I say we just make a break for it!" With that he noticed two openings at the edge of his torch light. Taking a chance he headed towards the southern opening.

(Moving up to 90' unless something changes)

[EdgeGrinder]

Aurora's first attack connect but Orange Bow narrowly rolled between her hooves after he fell prone. The Orange Bow cursed and convulsed as the electircity and good magic surged through his body. Umbear's attack stretched and of nowhere and hit the prone archer.

[Andrew Markham]

At the same time as Geiravor, Aurora, and Umbear, Aurix also lashes out with his quarterstaff versus the Orange Bowed Drow.

AoO vs Orange Bow
(1d20+36)[37], (1d6+22)[28] bludgeon damage

He grins at Geiravor's trip. "Nice setup, My Lady!" Aurix shifts to a double weapon stance and begins bludgeoning the fallen Drow with both ends of his quarterstaff. Both ends of the weapon start to glow blue. (Swift Action: Arcane Strike) Then he follows up with his flaming dragon bite!

Full Attack Power Attack vs Orange Bow
(1d20+34)[48], (1d6+35)[41] bludgeon damage
(1d20+34)[38], (1d6+35)[38] bludgeon damage

(1d20+29)[38], (1d6+35)[37] bludgeon damage
The Drow archer drops. Aurix spins his quarterstaff and shifts 5 feet west to P5, turning his attacks to Purple Dagger.
(1d20+24)[35], (1d6+35)[36] bludgeon damage
(1d20+24)[37], (1d6+35)[41] bludgeon damage

Spoiler: Torilee

Show

Aurix sends to Torilee, "By my gauge, these guys are pushovers. Stick with Gorrun for now, unless it's safe to get to me. Don't use any magic; I expect worse later."

Torilee nods and scopes out the situation. She braces on Gorrun, then leaps across to Umbear, crosses his shoulders, and drops down across his chest onto Aurix's shoulder. Aurix smiles at her presence.

[Wolfykins]

The first swarm of chicks pursued Jaylyn, but Hervir's cloak of winds spell on the kitsune repulsed them. They were knocked back until they hit the cave wall where it curved, taking (4d6)[16] nonlethal damage. However, they seemed completely unfazed, aside from being relocated.

The swarm that attacked Markas squeaked and squealed in rage as he moved south, and pursued him. They crawled over him and dove at him, biting and biting for (3d6)[8] damage and (1d4)[2] dex damage (DC 22 fort negates dex damage).
Markas also heard an ominous clicking, scraping and hissing sound echoed many thousands of times coming for him, and he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was making the sound or where it was coming from, but it was getting closer and closer. (DC 18 will save or be shaken for (1d4)[2] rounds.)

Time Stopped Turn 2: "I hope these paths merge," Jaylyn thought as she continued down the tight path. Much to her relief the paths did merge, she saw yet another tight passage and kept moving though it. 60 feet south and west along the tunnel's ceiling.

Time Stopped Turn 3: Jaylyn emerged from the second tight spot and continued south 20 feet and west the remain 40 feet, passing over Zeetzeet in the process. she felt herself slowing down, "Well that was fun while it lasted," she thought to herself.
