Storm Lord's Wrath - RP Thread

Dejected at the senseless carnage, Sigi takes up a position next to where the cultist leader is most likely to reappear.  He says nothing, but he does the following, time allowing:

• brings his spiritual weapon beside him
• brings up another casting of spirit guardians

Vandeyr readies himself to stab the priestess

"Ready when you are, Rawlings." 

Rawlings also readies herself with her eldritch blast for when she sees the priestess.

Giving Vandeyr a wry smile, she lets go of her concentration....

Attack: 17 Damage: 5

Attack: 15 Damage: 11

(Sorry I've been very busy at work recently and it's been hard to get to my computer)

(Priestess' wisdom save vs. Spirit Guardians: 10)

The party steps forward preparing themselves to attack the moment the priestess appears. The water rises to Brother Siegfried's chest, and everyone else's waists. Rawlings, as the only one to make a perception check, notices that the blood of the cultists does not seem to be diffusing into the water around it like one might expect. In fact, it seems to be coalescing into something, but before she can react, her Banishment ends, and the priestess reappears.

Unlike the party, who seems to be fighting against the water, the priestess appears to be buoyed and supported by the water. Nevertheless, all four attacks strike her,  dealing heavy damage.

As she weathers the blows, the spiritual reapers of Brother Siegfried strike her, cutting into her very soul dealing (20) radiant damage.

She releases a primal yell that echoes with supernatural force. The voice is nothing that her vocal cords should be able to make, and the shock and rage of it carry a magical, supernatural power. Knowledgeable characters may recognize her as speaking Primordial, but all characters who are not immune to fear must make a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or be frightened. Brother Siegfried, bolstered by your goddess who is the antithesis of Talos, may make the check with advantage.

Those who understand Primordial know she said:

 As though her cry summoned it, the blood around the dead bodies of the cultists begins to rise out of the water in the form of a massive serpent.

(We'll start at the top of initiative order; so Rawlings, Tor, and Vandeyr can go after they make their Wisdom save; the serpent will go at the end of the round, after Brother Siegfried).

Brother Siegfried WIS:  28

Vandeyr Cha save  22 

Vandeyr flourishes his cloak, a shimmer of some nigh invisible force dissipating around him.

He raises his rapier and strikes at the priest

Attack: 15 Damage: 11 

Attack: 17 Damage: 5 

Tor CHA save: 4

"A damned blood snake?!" Tor yells, taking a step backwards in fear. "What the hell is this magic?!"

Turning his wide eyes towards the priestess he shouts "You! I'm shutting this down!" He rushes towards her, longsword swinging.

Longsword #1: 24; damage 9

Longsword #2: 13; damage 7

Add Precision Attack to #1 for a total attack roll of 21.

Rawlings CHA save  19

While Tor and Vandyr continue the attack on the priestess, Rawlings spins around, facing the horrid blood serpent.  Rawlings circles the thing, heading towards where cultist 1 landed to make sure she is more than 10' away from her group.  She then calls on her archfey pact and projects the fearsome presence of the fey.  

WIS save of 15 or the serpent becomes frightened of Rawlings.... two can play at this game she thinks..

(Tor remember that, since you're frightened, those attacks should be with disadvantage)

Wisdom Saving throw for blood and water creature: 14

(In the interests of moving on, and since I have less time to post regularly now, I'm going to assume that Tor hit, even with disadvantage, as she's not particularly hard to hit).

Tor strikes down the priestess, her voice ending mid-chant. However, as with the cultists, her blood, rather than dispersing in the water, merges with it, and looms large into a vaguely humanoid form (that will act next round on the same initiative as the other creature, at the end of the round). As it comes into existence, however, Brother Siegfried's spiritual reapers, hack into it (Wisdom Saving Throw 4 or take 17 radiant damage).

Brother Siegfried may act, then everyone else.

Brother Siegfried, sheltered in the bosom of the Earthmother's love, has nothing to fear from these abominations.  He stands before the newest blood creature to rise.  "This land is under our protection.  You will find no purchase here, no shelter, no quarter.  Disperse, unclean one!"  With that, he reaches out a hand to touch the blood creature, attempting to withdraw the life it should never have been given.  Sigi casts inflict wounds, upcast to level two.  Attack: 19 Damage: 23

As a bonus action, he moves his spiritual sickle to attack the creature as well.  Attack: 27 Damage: 9

Vandeyr is abit taken aback at Brother Siegfried's whirlwind of destruction, but continues stabbing at anything he can, reaching for the more recent bloody figure

Attack: 11 Damage: 6 

Attack: 23 Damage: 6 

Brother Siegfried's spell strikes at the very center of the force animating the creature. The spell pulses through the creature in a literal wave. It recoils, just in time for the spiritual sickle to miss.

Vandeyr's rapier, which was so effective against the flesh and blood cultists, strikes the creature of blood and water, but doesn't seem as effective.

Rawlings watches as yet another blood creature rises from the water and wonders what in the world is actually going on here.  She concentrates on the first one, and uses her eldritch blast against it..

Attack: 14 Damage: 13

Attack: 8 Damage: 10

Tor mutters to himself "Damn magic... Maybe it's time to use some of my own." He will wield the black metal handaxe he was gifted by Oloven, shifting the longsword to his off-hand, holding it reverse grip to keep the long blade out of the fight. It would only get in the way, but there's no time to sheath it. He launches towards the thing that used to be the priestess, hacking with the dark weapon.

Handaxe+1: 18; damage 8

Handaxe+1: 9; damage 8
