Chronicles of the Accursed (Group 2)

(We can do Theater of the Mind for Phase 1)

Initiative:

Vitarek
Korba
Nordaka

Cultist Swarm 1
Cultist Swarm 2
--
Tamphalic
--
Master Sserah Cultist 1
Master Sserah Cultist 2
Master Sserah Cultist 3
Cultist Swarm 3

(OOC: FYI - I guess we still need Jodie's initiative since she's also riding Nordaka.  I think that Tamphalic is on Captain Blythe's ship, so I guess he doesn't figure into phase 1 unless the fight drags on long enough for the ship to approach within range.)

(and Adult deep dragon Ruby's aswell)

Jodie's init: 14

Green Dragon Ruby init: 20

(Secretfool can play ruby dragon hereafter)

 (OOC: Nice!  Conveniently, it looks like that keeps the same initiative groups that @Mister_Whisker already posted, with all of the dragons going first.  @Secretfool - do you want to kick us off with Vitarek's turn?)

Quote from Mister_Whisker >>

Initiative:

Vitarek
Korba
Nordaka
Ruby (<-- Are we going with Adult Deep Dragon?  Adult Black Dragon?  I was sad to see that the Gem Dragons include a Sapphire Dragon but not a Ruby Dragon.)

Rather than trying to do the full fight, I'm going to say that the two adult dragons easily clear the deck. As the party steps onto the deck, you can feel the hum of power. The massive, half-mummified carcass of Sserah lies lifeless, but you can sense power being channeled into those ancient bones. Slowly, she is being called back from Oblivion to wreak havoc once again!

End the ritual, Akkron instructs the party. I will make sure that the forces of darkness cannot follow you into your final confrontation with your foe. Gorash, Bridgette, Nordaka, and Vitarek will help me hold off any who dare approach.

As he says that, you can see more ships approaching the sea battle... dozens of ships full of cultists, and likely the infamous Death Knight somewhere amongst them. Hopefully the dragons will be able to hold them at bay!

Nickeline doesn't know how to stop a ritual of such power. She prays to Flandal for strength and courage and very gingerly touches the bones, casting a spell to prevent (hopefully) any undead-style resurrection.

OOC:

Action: Cast Gentle Repose on the bones

Tamphalic has been preparing as they came upon the ship and is ready to face Zolgu and whoever else is down there, he waits for the frontliners to lead and than quickly follows after them. Ready to make sure this ritual will not be completed.
