Pizazz's Beyond Annihilation

Kurik gets up off the ground, turns to the ice goddess, and then charges her.  His blade slams into her, the flame sizzling against her cold ice body. 

As he gets close to her, a wave of icy cold ripples out and stings his flesh.  (20 cold damage.)

The other Thay warrior rushes up to Kari, circling around behind her.  (dash action). 

Mal, your action!  (Start your turn with a Perception check DC 10) 

Zendrak: 28 | crystal: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWar1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6 | ThayWar1: 2

Cold damage reduced to 10 due to resistance 

Mal Perception: 17

 [OOC: lol, Dice Gods I swear.]

As the wizard cast his spell, Mal can't see any change, but...it's as if the sound of the room has been dampened.  She reaches out and finds an invisible wall barring her from the room.  She isn't sure how high it goes, the ceiling reaches up 50 feet, but is sure it doesn't go all the way to the top, since sound is still echoing over it's top. 

Mal's turn.

Stupid F'ing casters, I swear I hate them more than anything, as she looks down at her hand, well almost more than anything in this world, fine you ******** you asked for it....

As Mal raises her hand removing her glove the golden ring glows a deep dark icy blue.

Suddenly right on top of the caster who cast this wall and hopefully encasing both of the casters, Mal summons a Globe of Ice, making sure the edge of the ice globe hits both casters. 10' radius.

Wall(globe) of Ice: 41 Cold Damage DEX DC 17 save for half.

M1: 16. M2: 17   Concentration check: 11

Mal pulls her glove off, and the icy blue ring on her finger, and her hand which appears to be entirely frozen gives off a hazy smoke. Swearing she holds out the hand.  Inside her head, the ring sings a glorious, blood thirsty song of joy that finally it has been uncovered, and unleashed upon an enemy, any enemy.  There must be some gap through which the magic of the ring can reach, because in a flash, a hemisphere of ice erupts into existence right around the two wizards.  

The ring, suddenly aware of its surroundings suddenly clamors as it realizes it's location. With a personality like a tidal wave, the thing screams at Mal, urging her with force towards the 50 foot lazily rotating sphere. 

Both wizards are shunt into the ice sphere and vanish from view.  Then the ring presses on Mal's mind and she stumbles forward against her own volition, and is pleased to find the wall of force still intact as she thuds into it, unable to reach the sphere. The ring screams in her head.

At the same time that this is happening, it's as if everything else for the Ice Maiden stopped. Laying on the ground, slammed there by Kurik's blow, she glances across the room, her eyes locking onto Mal's outstretched hand.  Under her breath she whispers, "Geamhradh."

A moment later both wizards appear in a shimmer outside the sphere. One of them leaves the other advancing at an angle towards Mal. Tattoos decorate his bald head and his eyes are black and rimmed with darkness. His long red robes, finely made, trail on the ground behind him as he approaches.

Meanwhile, the disturbance continues its swirling advance, curving towards the middle of the room.  One of its tentacles lash out and strike the sphere in the middle....and the thing stop rotating.  Dancing waves of purple and yellow energy seem to start dancing up the tendril towards the disturbances main body.  Two other tendrils lash out. One at the Thay Lich and one at Auril as its moves close enough to strike.

Attack on Auril : 29 Damage: 10 bludgeoning + 14 force damage

Attack on Thay Lich : 30 Damage: 22 bludgeoning + 21 force damage

Zendrak: 28 | crystal: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWar1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6 | ThayWar1: 2

Zendrak appears, in a corner, looking battered and bruised.  The man is barely standing, blood drips down his hands, his blade is nowhere to be seen.  His eyes glow a dim azure, but burns with anger.  His eyes alertly watch the the magical energy dancing along the tentacle towards the disturbance main body.

Then he leans back and his mouth cracks open...his body shakes as if he's letting loose the most terrific horrible scream he can, but no sound emerges.  Not for Mordekai, and the group.  But for everything else in the room, its as if his silent scream washes across them all with a crash of power.

Auril: 27

Thay Lich : 6

Mage1 : 26

Mage2 : 26

Knight1: 20

Knight2: 12

Kenku: 19

Everything but the disturbance seems to vibrate from the psychic scream that tears across the battle. Most disheartening though, the screams seems to have no effect on the disturbance.

Auril pushes herself to her feet, her crystalline body crackling and creaking as she moves. She extends her arms and and a vortex of blowing snow erupts around her, she vanishes from view inside the whirling snow.  

(Kurik takes 20 cold damage at this time, rather than on his turn.)

It's impossible to see anything inside the whirling snow field that spins about the goddess...though the wall of swirling snow and icy fog clearly begins advancing towards Mal.  

(Auril is heavily obscured within the snow storm.)

Kari's turn!

Zendrak: 28 | auril: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWar1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6 | ThayWar1: 2

As Auril gets to her feet and extends her hands out, appearing to cast a spell, (Can Mordekai tell if it's a spell or an ability? Arcana if needed: 20) If he thinks it's a spell she's casting, Mordekai casts Counterspell at 5th level. 

In her battle rage Kari focuses on the enemy with the most injuries. She strikes out twice with her glaive, then swings the butt of the pole around for a quick jab. Not caring about the danger she jogs out of range again and waits for the most wounded enemy to come within range. One at a time, she can do this one person at a time, if it's the last thing she does.

Action: Attack 1: 20 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Slashing, 3 Rage Attack 2: 18 Damage: 13 Slashing, 3 Rage

Bonus action: Pole Attack - 17 Damage: 10 Slashing, 3 Rage

Movement: about 20 ft east, ending under the south edge of the disturbance. If I drop to 0 hp due to damage from AOO, Relentless Endurance will bring me back to 1. If I drop to 0 again Con save (dc10): Unable to parse dice roll. to get back to 1 hp from Relentless Rage

Extra effect: Slasher - reduce a creature's speed by 10 until the start of my next turn

Mordekai, ready to counter Auril, watches as the storm around her simply rises. It was no spell he knows, the demi-goddess simply commands the winds, ice, and snow and they obey. 

Kari meanwhile is facing one knight at looks like a stalk of grass in a gentle wind, wavering back and forth. Her glaive lashes out and he stumbles backwards and falls.  As he falls, his helm tumbles off his head and rolls away. The mans face is pale, so pale she wonders if he's ever taken the helm off. His face looks sallow and drawn, though is now slack.  Blood runs from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears and part of his skull looks split open. She turns to the next warrior. 

She slashes out twice, sending blood spraying. This one hasn't been beaten on quite so badly and looks quite hardy still as he takes the two blows with heavy grunts.  He lashes out at her with his longsword as she tries to dance away. 

AoO on Kari : 28 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. slashing + 16 necrotic damage.

The Lich looks up at the whorling storm of magic, its tendril lighting up with energy where it's latched onto the sphere. He casts a spell up at the thing, one of the wizards turning his attention away from Mal and returning to also let loose blasts of fire at the thing. The room temporarily fills with orange light as the fire tears around the magical vortex, the heat and blaze seemingly consuming large sections of the storm. 

1. Unable to parse dice roll. 28 30

Mordekai's action.

Zendrak: 28 | auril: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWiz1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6 | ThayWar1: 2

As the flames plume around the disturbance, focused on the part where the tentacles is latched onto the sphere....the tentacles is severed by the fire.  The lit up energy riding along it evaporates and the tentacle dissolves into the air. 

The strike from the knight looks enough to drop Kari who stumbles as the knights necrotic energy washes into her....but the pure fury of her rage keeps her standing as she steps away. 

Mordekai backs away from Auril (directly west 30ft), and continues to send his Eldritch magic in her direction. (He figures her being heavily obscured isn't going to harm his already useless recent accuracy!)

Attack: 21 Damage: 11 plus 6 Hex damage 

Attack: 18 Damage: 10 plus 6 Hex damage 

Attack: 14 Damage: 14 plus 2 Hex damage 

Mordekai sends three blasts of magic into the ice storm.  It's unclear if he hits anything, but the storm rages on regardless.

The Kenku, still hovering in the air, turns his attention away from the disturbance and flies down to Zendrak who is just closing his mouth after his mental scream and stands too close to his master for comfort. 

He strikes. Attack: 14 Damage: 8

Zendrak: 28 | auril: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWiz1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6 | ThayWar1: 2

New attack rolls for those 3 attacks: 

Attack 1: 15

Attack 2: 13

Atack 3: 12

(Yeah, about on par with my last 2 turns...)

The blow is enough, and Zendrak wavers, and collapses onto the ground.

The Thay warrior holds out his hands and a sphere of black fire appears there.  It burns with dark evil intensity. He hurls it after Kari, where it explodes between her and the disturbance, the fire erupting around both of them. 

Kari and Disturbance:  DC 18 Dex save.   32 fire AND 34 necrotic damage. Half on a save. 

(Kari, make your Relentless Assault CON check.) 

The dark flames roil through the disturbance, the vortex of magic being eaten away in huge chunks.....

The disturbance has shrunk in size considerably, and only a single tentacle is left thrashing about....as the dark flames consumes a third of the thing.

Kurik's Turn!

Zendrak: 28 | auril: 21 | Kari: 20 | Thay Lich: 20 | ThayWiz1: 18 | Mordekai: 16 |  Kenku: 15 | Kurik: 14 | ThayWar2: 12 | Mal : 11 | ThayWiz2: 7 |  Distrubance: 6

I think this is the first one, so DC is still 10?

Con save: 11

Kurik felt the cold wash over him and he could feel his body weaken.  He grit his teeth and pushed forward.  With some luck he may be able to end this now.  He grit his teeth and closed the distance to the icy goddess and swung.

Action: Attack 28, 12 + 7 fire +4 necrotic
