Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
Zurktz grins wickedly as the battle heats up and flexes his right arm holding the greataxe, rapidly speaking the words to a spell and tracing his left hand down his right arm, causing the muscles in his arm to bulge and strain, hardening beneath his green flesh.
Spoiler
Standard Action: Cast Fist of Stone, +6 Strength for 1 minute/10 rounds.
Now if you don't mind, I am somewhat preoccupied telling the laws of physics to shut up and sit down.
I cast irresistable phantasmal killer as a 4th level spell. No save, just die.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
Nagras spits on the ground with an even nastier look on his face than before. Disgusting! You "blood" would be better as vapor! He twists to his left to line up the Black and white guardians. A small vortex of shadow and hellish energy gathers in his massive claws as he holds out his arm. DIE!!! The energy grows to ball about the size of him and fires a huge beam of infernal power.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
SpoilerWait, line up which Black and White Guardians? Either you move to C3 and hit two of them and Kor (which might upset Neillos), or you move to B3 and you hit two of them, Neillos himself (which would definitely upset him), and pass harmlessly through Hiram's shadow companion.Current Games:

I am surprised a zombie dragon has such good reflexes... but will they be enough? No.
The two angels manage to avoid the bulk of the beam (though they suffer as well), but it tears right into Neillos's deathless companion.
The angel who has been fighting Neillos's pets looks badly hurt.

SpoilerStatus:AC: 28 (10 + 5 armor + 6 dex + 1 size + 1 natural + 3 deflect (Shield of Faith) + 2 wisdom)
HP 56/67
Effects: Shield of Faith, Assassin's Stance
I'mma go ahead and post this round's actions. Just fill them in when Toryn's turn comes around if nothing happens that makes it so that he can't do this.
Toryn growls at the angel's responce. There is genuine regret in his voice as he says, "Sorry about all this, but you didn't give me much of a choice, yeah?"
With that, he is enveloped in black light, and suddenly vanishes. Invisible, he jumps into the air to get level with the angel's face, and spins around in the air, extending each leg in a brutal kick, and punctuating the attack with a punch. He reappears just as he hits the ground.
Spoiler<Swift> Cloak of Deception boost
<Full> Full attack. All damage is non-lethal. Since they are unarmed strikes, no penalty applies. Unless it can see invisibility, it's flat-footed against these attacks and I get a +2 to them, which is NOT factored into these rolls.Last edited by Proven_Paradox; 2008-09-19 at 11:54 PM.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
Though he will have a chance to strike again first, when Toryn's initiative comes the male Black Gatekeeper will be knocked out cold.
Such is the power of sneak attack.
EDIT: What the heck? What was I thinking when I put together that Initiative flow chart? I'm sorry, PP, Toryn should have been going after the Black Gatekeepers, not after the White Gatekeepers!
Initiative, once more, with feeling:
Zurktz: 24
Cage: 22
Neillos and his Servants: 21
Black Gatekeepers: 16
Toryn: 15
Asani: 13
White Gatekeepers: 11
Hiram: 7Last edited by Ascension; 2008-09-20 at 12:05 AM.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
"What the hell, Cage!? Don't hurt Kor! What has she ever done to you?"
He pauses briefly, remembering the initial combat with the dragon that is now Kor.
"Well, what has she done in THIS form?"
Neillos moves up to Kor and uses here as a meat shield, reaching into his bag and pulling out one of his Scum Zombies.
"Get it! All of you!"
Spoiler
Attacking the same guardian as before, the scum zombie taking a 5 ft step to attack (if able, if not, disregard it's roll, and he shambles into place to attack next round. CURSE YOU SINGLE ACTION ONLY!).
The Erinyes move into flanking in it, if able, using 5 ft steps.
Preferable, the situations should look like... If not, I added in flanking on the Erinyes's attack rolls, so just take em away.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
Though the newly arrived zombie can't bite through the angel's armor, the rest of Neillos's minons are more than enough to finish off the female Black Gatekeeper. With her torso skewered by Eyrines and her head bitten clean off by Kor, she is extremely dead. Extremely.
The male Black Gatekeeper makes another attempt to hit Toryn (before getting knocked out by the spry halfling), this time only swinging his right hand blade. He meets only air. Immediately afterward he falls to a fusillade of blows.

SpoilerSuddenly and weirdly wrong? It's funny you should mention that! Muahahahahahahahahahah!
Nah, just kidding.
Despite being horribly outnumbered, wounded, and having just watched her comrades easily dispatched, a strange look of serenity passes across the final angel's face. A red aura flares around her for a moment, and then she strikes at the demon before her with all her force. Despite all this desperate effort, she still only manages to wound the demon with one of her blows.

Because of the distraction provided by his shadow companion, the last Gatekeeper isn't even looking in Hiram's direction when his glaive bites into her shoulder. She's hurt but she's still standing.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
SpoilerThat's three HP short, but you know what? I don't care. It just seems appropriate for this battle to end with a big ugly demon crushing the life out of an angel.
With a cry of pain, she begins doing just that.
The skirmish has ended. The final toll? Two angels dead, one dying, one simply unconscious. None have fallen on your side... in fact, few are even injured. It's obvious whoever assigned these Gatekeepers to their duty did not expect to be visited by a group as large and powerful as your miniature army. You can be certain, though, that now they're perfectly aware of both your intrusion and your strength.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
"Sh*t, sh*t, SH*T!" Toryn mutters under his breath as the battle winds down. "THIS is NOT how it was s'posed to start! Gaaaaah..." He takes a deep breath, seeming to meditate for a few seconds to calm himself ((recover Cloak of Deception)). He kneels down to the unconscious angel's side and begins gently tapping him (her?) awake. In the meantime, he says, "Someone wanna try an' bind 'at one's wounds? We need to try an' get some information outta 'ese guys..."

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
The demon drops the dying angel to thr ground as if he had just been struck in the head. Oh come on! I'm not finished, at least let me kill her! Nagras attempts to strike at the two still living angels but seems unable to move as the black flames that make up his body disperse, leaving Cage standing there with the two large wounds in his chest. He takes a long drag on his pipe, the smoke leaking out through the punctures from the angels. You'll be dead soon so *cough* you might as well tell us how we're supposed to find some- *cough* -one in this place.

With difficulty, the female white demon replies, "I will tell you... nothing, demon!"
She spits some of her glowing blood in Cage's face and then expires, having expended the last of her energy in this final act of defiance.

Re: Annabel Lee Ch. 1: Raging Against the Heavens
Cage leaves the now dead angel and turns his attention to the live one. Its not something you angels could understand. You're bred to become sentinels who run *cough* headlong into a deathtrap knowing that you're easily brought back or replaced. You have no value for your lives, nor can you understand *cough* the pain of loss. The blood from his wounds continues to drip onto the ground as well as smoke. I've lost something dear to me and I will take it back or *cough* forsake my soul trying.
