Sandy Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 The party decides to head to the end of the hallway. From their tour earlier they know that beyond that door lies the staircase leading to the second floor, as well as the eastern exit . But suddenly a wave of heat bursts in front of them, and a creature of fire appears, blocking the door. The demon grins menacingly, and through the walls arrive three ghostly shapes. The party has no other option but to face the evil spirits. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

The_Customizer Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Erdathcath pulls back her longbow, and fires at the Poltergiest. While standing the the back row.
Etzel Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 This time we shall not be running! I will attack Spectre A from the front row, and I suggest Nur targets Spectre B and Alf Spectre C so they don't get a free hit. Battle order: En Salah Nur Alf Gregory Erdathcath Madinlinas Maurice Ratibor
Bricksandparts Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) "We each need to attack one!" Alf will attack the Spectre B from thefront row Rumble strike "These Ghosty people Die! Or die Again!" Edited October 18, 2011 by Bricksandparts
Jebediahs Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Nur's hands began to glow as he chose his target. "I shall attack Spectre C with an Earth spell from the back row. As you suggest Ratibor, none shall gain a free hit against us." With the enemies weak to the earth element, En Sabah Nur knew his luck continued to serve him faithfully.
Bricksandparts Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 OOC: The Party leader can choose my attacks for now, I might not be back until tomorrow.
The_Customizer Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 OOC: The Party leader can choose my attacks for now, I might not be back until tomorrow. OOC: Same here, I may be gone until later tonight. if you need my attacks, just keep me in the back row.
Sandy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 OoC: Please note that the Spectres are undead, so they will not be damaged by normal attacks. Magic spells and healing damage them, though. Party Leader, will anyone's target change because of this?
Etzel Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 OoC: Please note that the Spectres are undead, so they will not be damaged by normal attacks. Magic spells and healing damage them, though. Party Leader, will anyone's target change because of this? OoC: F***! I totally missed that. Lets do it this way then: Alf, you attack Spectre B from the back row. I know you won't be able to do any damage to it but we need to target it so it doesn't get a free hit, and in the back row you will only loose 1 health if hit. I will abort my attack and instead try to heal Spectre A from the back row. Erdathcath and Nur, continue as planned.
Sandy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 Results of Round One of the Poltergeist Battle: >En Sabah Nur (Earth) vs. Spectre C - Special Damage/Spell >Alf Gregory vs. Spectre B - Shield >Erdathcath Madilinas vs. Poltergeist - Shield >Maurice Ratibor heals Spectre A - No Healing The battle against the spectral creatures and their demonic leader begins. The luck-stricken En Sabah Nur casts an earth-elemental spell at the third Spectre, and since the apparition is weak to earth, it receives 18 damage and is instantly defeated. Alf goes into a Frenzy and charges at the monsters in a flurry of attacks. His sword goes right through the Spectres, but the Poltergeist receives 2 damage because Alf was standing on the back row. Erdathcath finishes the demon with a Tripleshot that causes three times 4 damage to it. Maurice's healing fails. Two enemies remain. The battle continues.

Etzel Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Good job everyone, except me! Erdathcath and Alf, I suggest you rest this round since you can't do damage to these undead spectres anyway. I'll try again to heal Spectre A from the back row and I hope that En Salah Nur attacks Spectre B with a magic attack. Battle order: En Salah Nur Maurice Raitbor
Jebediahs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 The apparition wailed and faded into nothing as it was defeated. The barbarian swung furiously with little to no effect against the party's oppnents. "Watch yourself Alf. Try not to hit any of us with those wild swings." Nur chuckled to himself and targeted Spectre B with an Earth spell from the back row. He turned to the cleric. "Right son of Ennoc, shall we finish this?"

Jebediahs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 "That was my first encounter with the undead. I found it a very...chilling experience. How about the rest of you? Do we have any experts on the afterlife, you perhaps Ratibor? Do you think this academy is haunted?"
The_Customizer Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 OOC: Sorry I couldn't help fight off the spectres. I am back now. I would like a Ice Bomb, though I believe that is up to Etzel.
Etzel Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 At last! Much thanks to you Nur, I myself seems to have been away from battles to long and lost my spark at it. The Ice bombs will be given to Erdathcath, Alf and Nur. And as thank for his great skill with the magic Nur will also receive the fire bomb. I'll pass this round. I guess we will be able to access that door in the end of the hallway now, so that's where we are heading now.
Jebediahs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 The mage gave a curt nod and proceeded with the party to the next floor.
Etzel Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Oh, and I'll keep hold to that red globe until we know what it's for.
The_Customizer Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 So, we are going upstairs now? Or onto the library? I am awaiting to see the adventure around the next corner!
Jebediahs Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 En Sabah Nur stopped and looked back to the elf. "I thought mages were supposed to be the studious ones. We'll get to your library soon enough. Mayhap we'll acquire a tome or two...as a recompense for our efforts thus far." Nur sneaked a peek at the cleric to see if he was listening.
Bricksandparts Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) "Thank for icy boom" Alf takes hold of the bomb and stuffs it into a pouch with his venom, and bottle of mead. Edited October 20, 2011 by Bricksandparts

There is a stone staircase leading up to the second floor, and a locked door that leads outside. The party decides to go upstairs. There is a similar hallway on the second floor as well, with five doors along it. The corridor makes a turn to the right at the opposite end. As the party steps forward, another spectral being floats through the wall. But instead of attacking them, it starts to wail and moan. "OooOOohhhh, my precious academy! Hooooow sad it is to see my life's work in such a state! WoooOOOooooOOOooo!!! Turmoil and decay everywhere, oooohhh my word!" The ghost doesn't seem to notice the party. What will the party do?
Etzel Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 "Let's try contact this spectre, he might be able to help us." "Excuse us, Sir. We are heroes from Heroica sent out by Provost Darlavon Lector to stop the vandals who are plaguing this academy. Do you know where they are?"
Jebediahs Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 En Sabah Nur crossed his arms as he leaned against a wall, awaiting the results of his leader's effort to communicate with the ghost. This was definately something weird and it don't look good. A curious tune began to play in the mage's head. Nur couldn't help but create words to go along with the melody. Something about an invisible man, sleeping in your bed?
