Diving into the Unknown (*Completed)

Teheboq's arm screamed in pain from his blow on the undead titan. Teheboq had hit him with his strongest blow, yet the creature seemed to barely notice. Thinking back on the elf's throwing daggers and the sorcerer's fiery magic Teheboq realized that he would need to learn how to diversify his attacks better in the future. For now however, he was content to keep hitting the Kroxigor's hip until it shattered.

Bringing the blade back up again Teheboq lashed out at the same weak point he had before. Smashing it over and over again the blade did little to pierce the creatures armor but the acid on the blade was beginning to have a small noticeable effect as it began to corrode the metal and dissolve bits of bone of the beast.

It's attention on Teheboq, the hulking abomination made an appealing target for the bloodthirsty Kedakai. While there was little pleasure to fighting the undead for they did not fear or feel pain, still they were challenging opponents at the very least. Letting his blade fall to his right as he charged, Kedakai leaped lightly and touched down on Teheboq's shoulder for a split second before touching off once more with a stiff push against the wounded Saurus, swinging his draich at the neck of the Kroxigar.

<Actions>
Charge the Kroxigar

Seros watched contentedly as lesser creatures continued to fight his battles for him. He could not have planned this better. Still, he should do everything he could to ensure his minions' victory, so that he was not forced to suffer the abomination swinging at him. He raised one hand above his head, channeling the power of the warp through it, and directing a blast of the Architect's fury at the undead.

(Red Fire. Duh.)

Hit Roll
18(20)-27+50=41< 9 Miss

Kedakai vaulted off of Teheboq's shoulder and brought the great draich down. Raising an arm the undead beast deflected the blow with ease as force of the block sending Kedakai sprawling.

The flames circled around Seros's arm. Grinning he pointed them towards his opponent but the flames flickered and died.

No status change.

Spinning towards the flying elf the kroxigor swung his hammer down to crush the puny elf.

Hit
27-18(20) +50= 41 < 83 Hit

Wound
15-25 + 50 = 40 < 36 Failed to wound

The hammer came down hard but Kedakai skirted aside just in time. The hammer smashed down and Kedakai was showered with splinters of rock and earth.


You three dudes are up.

Dodging to the side, Kedakai let loose a yelp of excitement. He'd almost been hit. Almost. Getting to his feet with controlled alacrity, the assassin tightened his grip on his sword and attempted to dash up the hammer and the thick, undead arm holding said hammer, his sword prepped for another strike at the creature's head and neck.

<Actions>
Attack.

Seros' focus was impaired. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he concentrated on channeling forth the power of the warp. It wanted to help him, he just had to let it.

(Red Fire. Get online and talk to me about miscasts.)

Teheboq looked at his two impromptu allies. Though all three of them had failed in their attempts to harm the creature Teheboq felt a sudden surge of confidence. That last round of attacks had almost looked like a team effort. Shaking himself from the sudden thought, Teheboq refocused his fury and lashed out at the monsters weakening hip.

Seros took a deep breath calming his nerves and began the incantation again. The reliable flames of tzeentch that have slain many of his foes.

The flames were released as they settled around the undead monster. The flames burned but the creature seemed completely unphased.

As the red flames that Kedakai had become disturbingly familiar with distracted the monster Kedakai broke into a run towards his prey. Jumping onto the beasts hammer he ran up it and jumped getting a clear swing at its open neck just as the flames vanished.

Hit Roll

Wound

Damage

The blade swung in hard catching the beast in the neck severing the head from its body. Before any victory cheers could be made the beast moved again towards the group.

Kroxigor: Wounded - 11 damage
Kedakai: Perfect
Teheboq: Wounded 9/27.
Seros: Wounded 7/15

Hit
18(20)-15+50=53< 43 Miss.

Even without a head the creature was coming for them. In a desperate defense Teheboq brought his blade down once again onto the creatures hip to try and break its stride, but the blow bounced off the tough bone.

Kroxi's Turn!

Hit
27-18(20) +50= 59 < 19 Swoosh!

The Kroxigor swung wildly at Kedakai propelled by some magical force. It should not still be walking. The large hammer swung in a sweep as Kedakai bent over backwards his hands touching the ground as the hammer swung mere inches above his head where his chest used to be.

You guys are up again!

Although disturbed by the creature's existence, Teheboq couldn't help but feel impressed at the undead Kroxigor's tenacity. The beast had taken a wound that would have instantly slain any lesser creature and still it fought on. Furthermore, the beasts bones seemed to be even tougher than Teheboq's current armor. Preparing for another swing at the Kroxigor's hip, Teheboq wondered if there would be enough of the creature left after they were done to fashion a new set of armor.

Hip smashing continue!

Seros was becoming annoyed by this creature's persistence, but there was nothing to be done for it. He would continue shooting flames until there was nothing left.

Side note: Do spells that are successfully cast but fail to wound still increase your "previous spells cast" penalty?

Side note- Yes. Also Side note- We'll talk about miscast table tonight.

Seros summoned the flames once more.

The beast roared as the flames began to consume its stumbling form. With a loud crash it fell to the ground. As the flames of change vanished its form the bones began to disintegrate and it blew off into the wind scattering like dust. Its large rusted hammer fell with thud to the ground.

*You may victory dance*

A quick search of the premises finds several items of value. Several coins and small gems lie scattered about. Among the piles of bones there is an amulet that glows dully with defensive magic, a sharpening stone, and an antique dwarfen pistol in addition to the large tablet in the center of the room.

No awards this time around. Flat rolls.
Kedakai - 63 - 2nd choice
Seros - 46 - 3rd choice
Teheboq- 81 - 1st choice

All players gain +2 gold (This may or may not be implemented later). Choose from the following list. You also gain 2 skill points.

- Weak Amulet of Protection - 2% ward save. (Basically a 2% chance to ignore any source of damage) The amulet is a twisted knot of wood that glows with a dull yellow light. The knot is delicately hung from a long thin silver chain.
- Sharpening Stone - Increases the minimum damage of a single mundane melee or throwing weapon by 1 (One use). The hard grinding stone is cracked and worn but it'll easily last for another use. .
- Antique Pistol - As pistol except S35. Cannot be modified - The antique dwarfen pistol has clearly not seen use in quite in time. A thin layer of dust and mud coat the weapon. The intrique brass carving along the barrel depicts a snarling dragon.

Teheboq stared at the three items for a moment. It was clear that the Teheboq's instincts had been correct in choosing these two as allies based on their number alone. Teheboq's gaze lingered on the pistol; it would be a useful addition and add a great deal of variety to Teheboq's attacks. As he was deciding, Teheboq saw the glow of the amulet out of the corner of his eye. The moment he placed his eyes upon the amulets glow, Teheboq knew that this was to be his prize. Carefully Teheboq picked up the amulet and placed it about his neck. Stepping back Teheboq watched as the other two chose their prizes.

Reaching down to claim the pistol that they had located amongst the piles of bones, Kedakai smirked grimly at his claimed trophy. It was old and he was not especially a fan of Dwarven weapons, for they were enemies of the Dark Elves (but then again who isn't?) but in it's day it was surely a beautiful weapon. Checking it's barrel, the Assassin found the weapon surprisingly primed and ready for combat. With a smirk, Kedakai glanced around the cave to see what else could be found of it's passages and turns.

Seros allowed the lesser beings to select their prizes, as they pleased. None of these items held a candle to the power granted him by the Changer of the Ways. When the saurus and Druchii had finished their looting, all that remained was a stone. Of course they would leave him nothing but a rock, what else could he have expected? No doubt they thought their worthless trinkets would give them an advantage over him, when the time came. How wrong they were...

Seros casually collected his stone and began whistling as he moved out from the cavern.

The group made their way back to town safely with their prizes and the tablet in store. Once inside they were greeted at the front gate by Rhaz Treil who offered them the a small sackful of gold coins (That's your 2 gold folks) for the tablet they had found in the cavern. He offered to inform you should he discover anything of interest on it once he deciphers the tablet.
