Thanks.

Beyrk, unable to move, sets into the ghoul with a singing strike drawing attention to it from his allies. All the while he manages to keep a wayward eye on Kauldron and maintain his canons.

[sblock=ooc]
Actions:
Start:
Move:
Minor: sustain canon of avoidance on Kauldron
Standard: warsong strike vs. ghoul (1d20+10=26, 1d8+6=12) = hit, 12 dmg. An ally that hits the ghoul before the end of my next turn gains 4 temp hps.

End:save (1d20=7) = fail = immobilized.

I'll save you! Dang't yells, trying to protect his goblin friend. Another bolt of lightning arcs from his dagger, this time at the wraith challenging the paladin. The electricity shreds away most of its form, leaving only a lingering wisp, a stray bolt striking the ghoul as well. Dang't then once again tried to hide himself in the tomb. His cry when he steps on bone shard doesn't help.

[sblock=Actions]Lighting Strike vs Wraith: Hit, 8hp after insubstantial. Arc it to the Ghoul for 4 hp (doesn't gain THP since it isn't an attack). Stealth to Hide: Stealth (1d20+7=11)[/sblock]

Hrav swings around to the flank the remaining skeleton with Beryk, then jabs Black Death right into the undead's left eye socket. The skeleton skull bursts, sending black shards of bone in every directions. One lodges itself in Hrav's shoulder. The Skeleton keeps up its attack despite its wounds.

[sblock=Mechanics]Move action -Tumble to H12 (July update improved Tumble from half your speed to your full speed).

**im quite pleased with that**

Minor action - Apply Predatory Eye to Skeleton 1.

Standard action - Torturous Strike against Skeleton 1. Applying Student of the Sword for a +1 bonus and marking Skeleton 1.

Torturous Strike (CA, SotS, SA, PE) (1d20+12+2+1=28, 2d10+10=29, 2d8+4=12, 1d6=3)

Hits AC 28 for 44 damage and marking Skeleton 1.

**This bloodies the skeleton causing a close burst 3 attack. This targets Hrav, Beryk and Kauldron in that order. Only hits Hrav, 23 vs Reflex, 11 necrotic damage.**[/sblock]

Quagmire rushes across the room, slicing through what little remained of the wraith. It dissipates into the air, causing just enough distraction for Kauldron to slip into a better position. Girth fires off another bolt of Eldritch energy, skimming the roof of the room.

Meanwhile, the ghoul, hungry for flesh and getting desperate ignores Kauldron's challenge, to try and take down Beryk, only to be burned by radiant light.

The remaining skeleton, even without his head, manages to parry one of Hrav's weapons away to add another wound.

Dang't loops his hand with this dagger, forming what appears to be a loop of lightning. He thrusts his hand out trying to catch it on the remaining ghoul.

ooc: What's that in G16? I still fail at reading the map.

 

[The Digger]

Determined to help his companions and bothered by his comparative lack of success so far, Girth squeezed shut his eyes and begged his Mistress’s favour.

“Help we need, my Lady. Already many wounds my friends hgave suffered. Beg I your favour, this night.”

Feeling enervated, his eyes shot open and, with an eldritch glow behind them, he stared at the ghoul in the centre of the combat.

“My Curse already you have. Now my Lady’s real power feel.”

His rod almost leapt from his hand as a sizzling bolt shot through the dank air of the crypt to impact fully on his target.

[sblock=OOC]Dire Radiance vs Fort; 20+10 (crit!) 16 damage + 3 (Curse) +4 crit = 23 radiant damage.[/sblock]

OOC: It would appear that the dead wraith is in G16. Please ignore.

 

[covaithe]

Quagmire moves to surround the ghoul and bellows as he strikes, "We've got 'em now, lads. Let's put this un down and get on with the treasure, eh?" But as he swings, his foot comes down awkwardly on a bit of rubble, and he has to abort the blow to catch himself and prevent a nasty fall.
