DM: Success made.

 Figured that one was a given save, but still worth a stot! :)

Giles Str: 20 (with a luck point :( )

He has resistance to piercing, so half damage, does he still get split up?

DM: He does still explode into separate pieces, but the damage is halved (rounding down).

Feeling the energy of the protective ward start to come undone at the touch of his own magic, Vazo'yn disappears again, a whisp of mist the only sign of his presence. He reappears to the west, near the other pillar and he starts to move toward and the bubble protecting it.

Through their mental link, he says, "I think he draws power from the souls in the pillars. He forces them even now to do his bidding. Destroy the-"

He is unable to finish his thought as Otbium's vile shadows assault the Fellowship.

OOC: Done! Strength save 22 (17 plus Joy's aura)

Stength saves

Jack: Can't even make the save :-P
Lily: Can't even make the save :-P
Shadowwhisk: 10
Air elemental: 9

OOC: Are Jack and Lily still near Joy? Don't forget the +5 from her aura.

Ylis shouts "COUNTERSPELL!"

You can only cast Counterspell when a creature is casting a spell. Fortunately, this means you don't waste the spell slot.

DM: If you have nothing that prevents Fall damage, that will be 13 Bludgeoning Damage for Jack. I do not recall if Lily went with Jack, but if so, the same applies to her.

Randa automatically fails first Save- cannot reach DC.

Indomitable- 33

( Well....Frack.)

OOC: Not to sound like a broken record, but did you factor in Joy's aura?

Vazo'yn teleports to the next pillar, but Otbium sees this and is on him in an instant. He lashes out with a ferocity that is not at all like the enthusiastic sparring that he did with Giles. This is murderous intent only.

DM: Attack 1: 28 to hit, Attack 2: 24 to hit.

@everyone: Are there any party influences that would impose Disadvantage on these rolls?

OOC: Vazo'yn's AC is very low so I don't think it will help much 😅 But he will cast Silvery Barbs on the first attack to force a reroll. He'll give himself the resulting advantage.

DM: 30 on the second roll, so the first roll still will be used.

Otbium punches Vazo'yn twice, hard enough for him to see stars right away. But once Otbium gets the sense that H2H combat is not Vazo'yn's forte, he doubles down. He stomps on Vazo'yn's foot, then as Vazo'yn recoils from the extreme pain (it HURTS to have your foot stomped), Otbium knees Vazo'yn in the stomach with his other leg. With a firm grip around Vazo'yn's head, Otbium smashes it into a pillar and drops the stunned Vazo'yn to the floor.

Then, Otbium crouches over Vazo'yn and pummels him with punch after punch. Finally grabbing Vazo'yn by the face with his crimson hand, he starts to utter the obvious verbal components of a spell. Then he points his void hand directly at Riven and begins to chant. While Otbium is chanting, Vazo'yn manages to regain his senses and fight his way to standing while Otbium clutches at his face.

DM: Attack 1 is 23 Bludgeoning Damage and 9 Thunder Damage, Resistance bringing it down to 15 total. Attack 2 is 27 points of Bludgeoning Damage and 9 Thunder Damage, Resistance bringing it down to 17 total.

@Wysp? Are you interested in a Counterspell here? For the sake of expediency, I combined two spell attacks in the narrative, but they are two separate mechanical spell attacks, so you can choose if and which spell you want to CS; one is at Vazo'yn, the other is at Riven. Further, for anyone else wondering, Vazo'yn is not grappled, restrained, stunned, or anything else at the moment. It was just fun puff text to make the fight interesting and more than a series of mechanical actions.

OOC: Vazo'yn maintains concentration on Detect Magic with a 35 and an 18.

Ylis will try to Counterspell the attack on Vazo'yn

Crimson energy begins to flow into Vazo'yn, even as he wrestles free of Otbium's grip. But before the spell can complete, Ylis' reaction saves Vazo'yn from something awful.

DM: Save failed. :(

The attack for Riven continues however. An inky blackness flies from Otbium's pointed finger, right at Riven.

Attack: 30 to hit. 24 Psychic Damage. Pain runs down Riven's body like marbles poured down a flight of stairs. A thousand-thousand needles flay his nerve endings, then subsides.

DM: Ylis, it is your turn.

Ylis takes a second to emotionally recover from seeing her friends ripped apart. A burning rage fuels her heart and she wants nothing but to soar over and smash Oglibutt in the face! Repeatedly! Stick her staff down his throat and turn it into a Winter's Crest Tree! With Lights!

ARGHHHH! the psychic link echoes with her cry of anguish. 

She could turn him into a bug! *sniff* and squish him! Like...a bug! gggrrrrrrrrrr 

Wait.... now that is interesting. Ogliobutt CAN get hurt but getting close seems a bad idea right now.

I know what might hurt him *sniff* 

Ylis glides to the nearest pillar and shelters behind it then chants "Magica Gone Gone!" casting Antimagic Field. Her butterflies scatter and her broom settles to the ground. She looks to see if the bubble is affected. If it is, she will continue to shelter behind the pillar, maintaining the spell.

If nothing happens, she releases concentration, which brings back her butterflies.

edit: Forgot to say she begins to dance.

Riven will react to Otbium’s attack. Imposing disadvantage on the roll.
