Frostbite (IC)

[qube]

Eviscerator / Big E

the adamantine golem takes one step forward... a 15 ft step, indecating he's also ready to help.

[sun_tzu]

Spade

"Sounds interesting. I'm in" says the fighter. "I'm assuming that the appropriate gear will be provided? Some of us didn't really come dressed for colder climates..."

[burntsolace]

Jinx

"...and I can make snowmen... really big snowmen with the help of Big E..."

He looks up at Spade.

"You don't need gear we have magic. You could walk out there naked as a new born baby and I would make sure you wouldn't even catch a cold."

He goes back to planning his epic snowman building.

[qube]

Eviscerator / Big E lloks down upon the halfling.
"How do you make snow-men?"

[burntsolace]

Jinx

"You never made a snowman???"

Jinx shakes his head in disbelief.

"First you need snow, it's like rain only frozen and fluffy. Then you roll it into balls, sphere if you like, and then stake then on top of each other with small spheres of frozen rain on top of smaller ones. and then you put a face on the top one with coal and a carrot or anything else you have handy. Any questions?"

[Zimmia]

Ki'Zanne

Ki'Zanne smiles at the unlikely conversation between the halfling and 'Big E'. "It seems like you're going to be able to experience it first hand," she said with a grin. "Let's do what we need to and get underway."

[burntsolace]

Jinx

" 'cuse me Miss. But do you want to help with our snowman? Or are more of a snow angel type?"

[Zimmia]

Ki'Zanne

"It's been a very long time but should we have the time I would love to help build your snowman. And we can make snow angels as well." She looked spectively at Eviscerator, "Although you might want to give that one a skip." She turned back to the halfling, "And since we seem to be companions on this journey we should get past 'miss'. My name is Ki'Zanne, Ki if you'd prefer."

[qube]

Eviscerator/Big E

"Then is it not more of a snow-statue ?" he dully replays ...

Gears in his head start to turn, thinking what he would need on this quest ...

[Halna LeGavilk]

The blue creature smiles at the plethora of volunteers it has gotten. "I would like to thank you all for...." He stands stock still, his eyes wide open. He walks toward the edge of the stage, stumbles, and falls off. A large dart is sticking out of his neck, and blood slowly seeps from the wound.

[Zimmia]

Ki'Zanne

As the blue man tumbles over Ki'Zanne fights her way through the people trying to rush to his side. She lays one hand on his forehead and one hand on his neck below the dart and her brow furrows in concentration.

Cast heal: 150 HP, neutralizes poison etc and restores ability drain.

[qube]

Eviscerator / Big E

The giant warforged launches himself toward the other two.
"Anyone able to see the unseen ... now would be the time ..."
He looks for anything out of the ordinary, but doesn't see much. At least he can try and protect the remaining ones.
(aid another (1d20)[18]+attack bonus vs AC 10)


One of the thinking gears clicks into place as Big E knows what he needs ... Something to spot them ...

[Psionic Dog]

Gnaf

The worg bonds forward to the fallen creature and pauses next to Ki, sniffing the dart for a scent he could track.

"Our host slain? Just let me find the one responsible!"

Not waiting for a reply, Gnaf jumps up onto the stage and begins looking for a trail.

Spoiler

Show

Getting on the stage should be no problem: the worg can make an 8 ft vertical jump from rest, or 16 ft with a running start by taking 10.

Once up, he begins searching for a match to the scent on the dart or any suspicious one still actively hiding.

Scent
Survival - (1d20+28)[31]
Spot - (1d20+19)[30]
Listen - (1d20+22)[33]

[sun_tzu]

Spade

Projectile attacks. I'll try to use myself as a meatshield and hope I'm better-protected than these guys.
Spade rushes between the two remaining blue individuals and the direction from where he estimated the projectile came. At the same time, he tried hard to spot the enemy.

Spoiler

Spot Check: (d20+12)[30]

[burntsolace]

Jinx

The smile on Jinx's face melts away like an icicle on a warm day, and the blue figure falls from the podium. Jinx start to speaking in a the spidery language of magic.

"Who is against the snowman idea?"

Jinx's movements become a blur and he seems to start moving faster and faster.

Spoiler

Show

Casting Time Stop, and checking to see if he can figure out who attacked the blue guy. Time stop for (1d4+1)[4] rounds. First round he will move between the standing blue people and the direction he thinks it came from (spot check (1d20+4)[18]) and cast prismatic wall trying to protect them from further attacks. And he will spending the remaining time searching for the attacker.

Wow Mages get a lot of options... someone tell me if I am doing something wrong.

OOC: Zimmia, make a caster check.

IC: Both Gnaf and Spade barely see a black blur sprint down the shadows of the back end of the giant hallway.

Even though Jinx has stopped time, he does not see the man until after the time-stream is restored.

[Zimmia]

((OOC what'm I making a caster check for (so I know what to add to it)? ))

[Psionic Dog]

Gnaf

The worg spins around and darts off in a blur after the black figure.

Spoiler

Show

Begin hustling at 200 ft/round, if the fleeing figure is moving faster, sprint whenever directly behind it at 400 ft/round.

[qube]

Evisceratory/ Big E

"Can you people get somewhere safe?"

If affermative, eviscerator will lead them there, and will try and find his camerades.

If negative, he will stay there untill his party members come back...

[burntsolace]

Jinx

Hey Big E you see that shimmering wall of many different colors?

He points to a primatic wall that seems to have spontaneous appeared.

That should keep them safe for a bit. Let's let Ki help the hurt one and we can go stop this other guy. Ki do you best and if not I can wish him back....

Jinx runs towards the figure leaving down the hall way. As he runs he shouts...

STOP!

And he casts another spell.

Jinx casts hold monster on the fleeing creature.

estimates the situation:
pritorty 1: safety ... OK
pritorty 2: obliterate oppostion ... starting process

Eviscerator follows the rest of the party
(if he catches up to the party he tries to see the enemy (spot (1d20-1)[15])

[sun_tzu]

Spade

He pulls out his bow and begins sending arrows at the blur.

((If I'm not in range for the longbow, Spade will stay around the blue guys, protecting them from the direction opposite of the prismatic wall, just in case there's more than one attackers.))

[Halna LeGavilk]

The figure stops and turns to look at the situation. Jinx's spell fails to have any effect on it, and Spade's arrows all miss by just a little bit. The figure runs into the far shadows. Suddenly, it disappears into the shadows.

[burntsolace]

Jinx

Jinx looks around and when the figure disappears he heads back to Ki to see if he can help out.

Do you know what happened Ki? Can you help him?

[Zimmia]

Ki'Zanne

Ki'Zanne looks up at Jinx and then back down at the blue creature.

OOC: I didn't know what the caster check was for so I'll roll... lessee...
(1d20)[8] then add (maybe) Heal? +29, Spellcraft? +28?

Is there somehow a concentration check needed for the heal spell? if so +31.

If he was alive (or not to -10) the heal spell would return 150 HP and reverses ability damage (from what might be poison) and a whole host of maladies

While we're at it, cast detect poison.

[sun_tzu]

Spade

Dammit. Well, protecting these guys is more important than catching the assassin. Spade stays near the blue creatures, watching and listening to see anything else that might be suspicious.

Gnaf:

The worg doesn't even pause as he continues to jog forward to the spot he last saw the fleeing figure. When he arrives he pauses to find the freshest scent trail and quickly follows that into the shadows until it ends or he finds the fugitive.

[qube]

Eviscerator / Big E

As he sees the party returning, he notices that the persuite was fruitless ...
pritorty 2: obliterate oppostion ... partial succes

"Perhaps it would be smart to make haste ..."

[Halna LeGavilk]

OOC: Zimmia, a caster check is 1d20+your caster level. It's used for determining if your spell can defeat certain obstacles, usually spell resistance, I believe. So, your caster level is 25, correct? I believe it is your level plus other modifiers, but you probably don't have anything modifying that, so, 25+8=33, not enough. Sorry.

IC: Kizanne's heal spell fails, and the blue creature's life slowly seeps out of him. Her detect poison spell detects dozens of different poisons in his system, slowly destroying his body.

Gnaf finds that the trail ends abruptly in the shadows.

I know what a caster check is, I guess I don't understand - unless the blue creature wasn't willing to allow the heal and wanted to die, in which case the spell would have been negated and no roll needed.
