Vynarkus sighs his relief as the Jovocs disappear, and the lesser threat of the Vrock arrives. Waiting until after Sigrid casts her Detect Magic (I don't know if he would go after her anyway, but just in case), he shoots it with a brimstone blast.

Post by **Annalysei** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:50 am

Anna looks around dazedly at the flurry of activity. (ooc: Sorry, I've been away from the computer lately.) Following Vyn's lead, she fires a fire bolt at the Vrock.

Skyseeker moves around Katrina, Marrik, and Led, and awaits the Vrock's landing.

Katrine moves to pin the descending demon between her and Kalindriel once it is on the ground....both of them obscured in shadows, unnoticed by the tanar'ri.

Laurel steps back, and commences a melody!

The Abyssal spawn lands, and its beak gapes wide as it screeches.....but it's effect is overwhelmed by the pure, clear voice of the bard!

Kalindriel launches a sneak attack from the shadows! Her glaive whirling and slashing, coruscating with dark energies! ( 5 points, the vrock gains a negative level!)

Sigrid casts her spell...and the Vrock seizes the opportunity to attack! One claws gouges a bloody track across her body! ( 17 points) Amazingly, she manages to maintain her Concentration, and finish her spell......but the Vrock resists it!

Skyseeker hurls a flaming javelin with unerring precision! However, the Vrock's Abyssal nature ablates most of her effect! (5 points) The Vrock seizes the opportunity to strike at her! (14 points)

Sir Marrik charges the foul thing, calling upon the Light to smite the servant of darkness! As he approaches, the amazing reflexes of the demon mean it strikes at him! (8 points) His armor somehwat attenuates the blow, and he bulls ahead, axe shining with Her Radiance! (20 points)

Vynarkus blast lances into the unsuspecting monstrosity! (19 points)

Annelysei incants a spell..which the blindingly quick demon interrupts! (14 points) She is unable to finish casting, the spell is lost!

Led's rope flies out, landing perfectly around the Vrock! (Natural 20....reflex save at DC 20 to avoid having arms& wings trapped....save fail)

Having sized it up. Attack the Bad birdy.

Two of three attacks, using Kali for flanking bonus/sneak attack, it doesn't know I'm there yet, so it is flat footed also if I recall.

Vynarkus allows his flame to linger and burn the fowl's flesh, and blasts it again with a more ordinary version.

I move back. Then I activate Sacred Healing, but I'm very cautious.

Now that the Vrock is stuck on the ground, and even better... it can't use its arms, Led snarls with satisfaction and charges around his allies at the beast, then continuing on around the room.

Seeing the Vrock on the ground, Anna attacks with her flail and a Quickened Touch of Idocy. She hopes she'll be able to smack it stupid.

Post by **Kalindriel Ec'urb** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:24 am

"Nice rope work, Led. I need to introduce you to my mother. She'd think your skill divine."

She switches to the pure tones of Celestial without skipping a beat to ask the Vrock, "Guess what?"

[Easier to say it here than futz with PMs and figuring out who knows Celestial since it's just taunting.

Continuing to allow her inspiring song to linger, the bard switches out her regular arrow for one of her special ones against evil outsiders, takes aim, and lets it fly towards the Vrock.

I speak Celestial! Even without my Tongues ability!

Post by **Seven Words** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 7:25 pm

Skyseeker takes a 5' step back, and drinks a potion (heal 12 points)

Katrine attacks...but finds herself unable to cause any harm against the infernally resilient monster (both hit..but damage rolled less than 10, DR ate it)

Kalindriel enrages the tanr'ri between her taunts in Abyssal and now the anathemic tones of Celestial....however, her wavering attention means her first strike goes awry...but her second connects solidly. (7 points)

Laurel's enchanted arrow sinks into the demon's body! (7 points)

The Vrock unleashes what attacks it can upon the despised paladin! First, it releases it's spores! The cloud engulfs Katrina, Kalindriel, Marrik, and Annelysei. (8 points to Annelysei) It bites at Marrik, and kicks with it's taloned feet! Impeded by the rope around it's body, it is unable to land a single blow!

Sigrid steps back and triggers her power.

Marrik unleashes a full attack upon the bound horror! Only his first blow connects, and that is unable to do any harm!

Vynarkus' blast connects, again he fights through ti's inherent resistance! (23 points)

Annelysei quickly casts her spell, and commences to beating the demon furiously! It resistsher spell, but it is unable to avoid the four solid blows she rains upon it! (3 sonic, 4 sonic, 2 sonic, 4 phys & 5 sonic)

Led's maneuvers give the vrock several opportunities, but it only makes good on one of them! It makes very good indeed, gouging a bite along the side of Led's head and neck! (CRITICAL HIT! 23 points). Led, however, lands both of his blows as he charges past it...and his ferocity even manages to overwhelm it's damage resistance! (8 points and 6 points) In a cloud of noisome vapors, the defeated thing dissipates back to the Abyss!

Kalindriel finishes in Celestial, "Chicken butt... is now disincorporated." She sighs, the end of her taunt going unheard by the fowl demon.

Switching once again to Common she grins at Marrik. "It was smitten by your love tap."

Post by **Sigrid** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:18 pm

I point up the tower. "All of those demons were summoned. Their summoner is somewhere up there."

I can't see Vynarkus. I don't know he's flying. "Sorchat, can you attach this rope up there somewhere, without burning it too badly?" I hold up the end of the rope.

Holding out a shadowed hand in a wait-a-moment pose, Kalindriel says, "I'll handle this."

She concentrates a brief moment and wings made from shadow spring from her back.

Post by **Led Pighp** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:11 pm

[Vyn's invisibility would have gone away once he attacked. He's visible now.]

Led uses the wall ahead of him to push off of, making a quick turn for another pass at the demon, only to find that it was gone, leaving his rope on the ground. He looks up, half expecting the thing, or another like it, to come falling down the tower atop them.

I can't see Vynarkus. I don't know he's flying. "Sorchat, can you attach this rope up there somewhere, without burning it too badly?" I hold up the end of the rope.

"Please don't. It's silk... very flamable."

Led waits for Kalindriel to fly the rope up above and attach it, then climbs it as quickly as he can.

Kali thwaps Led on the head as he reaches her.

Post by **Led Pighp** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:52 pm

"Woman? Do not touch me."

Led has images of shaking the rest of the party off the rope, pulling it up, using it to catch Kali's wings, and throwing her over the ledge to follow the rest of them, crashing into the floor.

When the fantasy continued to jumping down from the ledge and landing on her mangled body to rip those shadowy wings off her back... he stopped himself. "Breath, old man."

Then he finished climbing onto the ledge, and looked down the hall towards whatever might be coming next.
