Mucor and Stone Wing move quickly towards the forest in a race with the horde. The goblins release a volley at Valeera, who literally appeared out of no where and manage hit the armored dragon with a few arrows while the majority bounce off her thick hide and mithral breastplate. The goblins rush towards the forest but are beginning to get overtaken by the zombie battalions behind them and the ogres are nipping at their heels. The orcs follow suit but are left behind the much quicker ogres and the battalions to the south group together and decide to move south hoping to go unnoticed.
Damage: Valeera- 28
Gaelin & Jinara!
map:
Gaelin will target the northern cluster of goblins and zombies and throw a 7th level fireball into the middle of them. "Burn them all" he'll say to Valeera as he releases his spell.
Fireball: 38
Jinara will point at a location approx 40 ft in front, 85 in the air, of the central goblin battalion and instruct DoomTail to fly there. He yells again, but in a long dramatic projected yell "HALT...or (Draconic) MARFEDELOM." As he says this word, Jinara spins a flat palm from face down to face up. As he does so, the earth in a 100-ft diameter cylinder starting at the goblins (placed so that it just feet away from Valeera & Gaelin) and extending back towards to encompass all 3 ogres, begins to rumble. After a brief second, ALL of the enemies inside this cylinder immediately "fall" upwards towards the sky.
(So you are aware Xtra, I am casting Reverse Gravity. If I release it they fall and take 100 ft of falling damage, which is 10d6 right?)
Gaelin's fireball explodes with such heat and force that the goblins and zombies caught in the blast are turned to ash while those just outside the blast are burnt from the intense heat killing both battalions. Valeera drops to the ground by the ogre and eviscerates the bulbous creature with her claws before biting the ogre's leg and flings it 40 feet away, the large corpse lands inches from the southern orc battalion who gaze in horror. Jinara and Doom Tail rapidly move in front of the clustered horde and as Jinara flips his hand two zombie battalions, two ogres and a goblin battalion are jettisoned 100 feet in the air as the gravity in that area reverses. The helpless creatures collide and bounce off each other as they hover in the air.
(@Jinara- Yes, 10d6. The three ogres were 115 feet apart but I maneuvered the circle to get the most people in it as I could, which is what I think you were going for.)
Aryn & Torq!
Map:
Torq is taken aback at the sight of the now floating cluster of bodies and will fly towards the northwest group of orcs and lay into them with his hammer and sword. (recklessly of course :) ) "Are one of you doing that? Please tell me one of you are doing that." Torq says telepathically to the group.
Aryn will go southwest and attack the tight group of orcs slicing and dicing with her swords. "That's one hell of a trick." Aryn says to the group.
Attack: 29 24 27 Damage: 12 7 (2) 2 (3) 6 4 (sneak) 16
(@Xtra: I meant to ask. Does my statement and show of power allow for another intimidation check to see if they will stop?)
Torq smashes and cuts his way through the orcs to the north managing to kill an entire battalion, while to the south Aryn carves a wide path in the middle of the clustered battalions leaving only two half battalions behind. Zinmaer coordinates with Night Dream and deftly jumps onto the griffon as they make their way south to aid Aryn. Zinmaer leaps off and with a single roll continues towards the horde taunting him to attack as he enters int a defensive stance.
Mucor!
(@Jinara- roll with advantage.)
map:
Intimidation 17
(Wow! A flying celestial being on the back of griffon at unrealistic speeds, blasting and killing hundreds, controlling gravity and manipulating hundreds of enemy creatures...)
Despite the powerful display the horde doesn't stop. You aren't sure if its driven by rage, fear or lack of understanding.
Mucor!
(OOC will Mucor be close enough to hit anything with just taking a normal movement? must my spells only have a range of 120ft)
(Yes, with full movement from your griffon you'd be able to hit the pack of zombies to the west or the orcs by Aryn and Zinmaer.)
Mucor will continue to barrel forward on his griffon as his shaggy hair billows in the wind. With spores trailing behind him like a stream of smoke, he would point his staff towards the zombies and cast erupting earth
dex18 or take 33, half on success
As Mucor releases his spell the ground beneath the zombies bursts into the air. Bodies are sent flying and those nearby are pummeled by debris until all that remains are half buried limbs that lie motionless. The orc battalions unaffected by Jinara's spell surround Valeera, Gaelin, Aryn and Zinmaer hacking at them with their axes while the majority of the horde writhes suspended in the air.
Damage: Valeera- 11 Gaelin- 23 Aryn- 7 Calypso- 13 Zinmaer- 4
Gaelin & Jinara!
Map:
(Hopefully this will work with what Jinara wants and we can coordinate.)
Gaelin will look over the battlefield and see Aryn and Zinamer surrounded. Instead of worrying he smiles and says telepathically, "Aryn and Zinmaer, save one if you can. Preferably a commander." Then he'll look to Valeera and say, "Kill all but that one." pointing to the one who looks most like a commander. Looking over to Jinara he'll say telepathically, "Let me know when you drop them and I'll have a nice warm surprise waiting for them at the ground."
Perception: 13
Holding 4th level Fireball for Jinara drops them. Will time it for the moment they hit the ground. Damage: 25
(Let's finish this!)
(@Gaelin. This will look awesome!!)
Unnoticed until now, those looking at Jinara will see his eyes completely blacked out while he is concentrating on this spell. As he hears Gaelin, his head turns in an eerie way to Gaelin with a sinister grin across his face and says out loud (in Draconic) "Axun" (Yess in common). As he finishes the word, there is a brief pause while he turns his head back to the hoard floating in the air. He raises his hand and snaps his fingers causing the spell to drop.
As snaps, he simultaneously spins his hands and casts Wall of Fire right front of Valeera on top of the closest berserkers as to create a barrier. The damage side is towards the enemy.
Fail DMG - 22 + 5 = 27, Success DMG - 11 + 5 = 16
As soon as Jinara snaps his fingers the suspended horde begins to fall. As if in slow motion Gaelin watches their descent a glowing bead of red hot energy held in his hand. He waits a moment until their almost halfway down before tossing the bead that streaks through the sky leaving a short shimmering red tail in its wake. At the same time Valeera turns towards the falling horde rearing back her head to breathe as the air to the east and south of her seems to tremble with heat. Flames begin to sprout from the ground underneath the orcs surrounding the dragon as Valeera opens her mouth, a bright orange glow emitting from deep within her throat. A deafening silence falls across the field as time seems to stop for a split second before a gigantic eruption of flames hits the air. WHOMP! The fireball explodes catapulting bits of charred flesh near the back of the horde cluster as Valeera releases a line of flame that cuts through the front of the horde. At the same time, the orcs around Valeera and Gaelin are illuminated in a flash of white heat before being consumed by the towering wall of fire. A wave of intensely heated air washes over the field from the coordinated combustion attack. Your ears ring for for a few moments and you shake you head and wipe the dirt and debris from your eyes and find nothing but corpses remain of the suspended horde. Beside Valeera and Gaelin, the wall of fire rages but nothing but ash lies on the other side.
Aryn & Torq!
Map:
(Awesome!)
Aryn's hair blows violently into her face from the heat wave and she shakes her head to clear her view. She searches for the familiar markings of a commander and pinpoints him. "Not that one." She shouts to Calypso as she coordinates with the griffon to attack the orcs around her.
If she slays all of them but the commander she'll have Calypso grab him and shove him to the ground then dismount and put her sword against his throat.
Attack: 17 17 24 Damage: 12 3 19 3 10 10
Crit: 1 9
(That is freaking amazing! I just keep reading it over and over.)
Torq has to adjust midair as the wave of hot air rushes over him and lifts him higher. He looks around the battlefield for the nearest foe and realizes there's only a few orcs left. "That's a mighty fine trick." Torq says telepathically to the group. His rage subsides as he soars up 60ft higher and takes a good hard look to see if any have escaped or are hiding.
Perception: 20
Aryn flicks her hair back over her shoulder and slashes with her swords lacerating the orc's flesh severing limbs and heads while Calypso pivots and grasps orcs with his sharp talons piercing through their hide armor. Greenish black blood pours onto the ground as the two pick their way through the surrounding orcs until only one is left. Calypso leaps flying a few feet in the air before clutching the orc in his talons and slams him down onto the ground. Calypso ducks his head in and bites off the hand that still clutches an axe and flings it off to the side. The orc cries out in pain as Aryn walks around from Calypso's side and puts a sword against his throat. The orc snarls but goes stiff knowing he's beaten. To the north Torq uses the burst of air to get extra lift and flies high into the sky to look over the carnage of the field. Corpses and smoldering piles of ash seem to be all that remain of the once 4000+ strong horde. To the southeast Zinamer slashes open and pummels the nearby orcs with a combination of swipes with his bladed quarterstaff and pinpoint strikes with his fist. None survive the onslaught and he rushes to Aryn's side to look over the pinned orc placing the bladed staff in the ground next to the orc's head.
You watch as Aryn and Zinmaer kill off the last of the orcs that encircle them before Aryn & Zinmaer come together standing over a captured commander.
End of combat!
(Nicely done! I thought for sure I had you guys when they started to run but man that was some quick thinking! You guys just annihilated over 4000 orcs, goblins, zombies and ogres.)
