Adventures in Esyldien - Campaign Thread

Khorzik circles his free hand rapidly in the air while speaking in goblin. Arcs of electricity play across the palm as he reaches towards the same statue harried by 9's ravens. "Why do we fight surrounded? We should back out and funnel them through the door." He appears to be looking towards Sora for confirmation before moving.

9 will grunt as the statue slams into her, the scarred eye radiates black lighting shooting out towards the statue, as she extends her hand and points at the place just nearby where a Rusty died. A deafening crack echoes from there, reminiscent of a raven’s call, and some of the statues and pictures seem to crack. The ravens keep attacking the statue in front of her.

Reaction wrath of the storm dex save 15 or take 10 lightning Damage. 

Action Shatter + channel divinity for 24 thunder damage, con save 15, within 10 foot radius of the point.

Spiritual Weapon Attack: 22 Damage: 13

CON Save: 10

Kal brings his blades around for another attack on the animated painting in front of him. The golden flame once again dancing across the blade. "Khorz makes a good point. We could tip the odds in our favor a bit more."

Basic Attack to the statue: 11 Damage: 8 (Elven Accuracy7) and  6 slashing damage for the second attack.

Are you all coming out?  asks Witt, struggling to see and hear what's going on from the back.  After his attack, he backs up ten feet in order to let the others come out if they wish, following what he thinks he heard Khorzik say.

Nemeia, agrees with the idea to funnel the creations if at all possible. She really didn't like the the idea of her father learning she was killed by art so she did everything she could to stay safe in this odd fight. 

Nemeia raises her magical crossbow and takes aim at the closest threat.

Attack: 9 Damage: 10 (piercing damage)

Cali snarls and lashes out against the same target.

Attack: 22 Damage: 6 (force damage)

Nemeia then attempts to move back in the direction the others are suggesting hoping it will prove to help deal with these...things.

The entire group returns their assault slashing and shooting and unleashing their magics against the animated constructs. Moira and Witt attack the statue in the back, whittling it down more and more, but it was 9's spell that truly doomed the artwork. With a massive boom of sonic energy a thunderous explosion reverberated out from the back corner of the room wreaking havoc with the non-living forms of the creatures attacking. In seconds the three constructs once stuck in Khorzik's web quickly shook themselves to death as they fell apart under the power of the Lady of Death. This allowed 9 to return her focus to the sculpture next to her. Her dark spectral ravens together with Khorzik's magic assaulted the statue, blasting out chunk after chunk of its marble form until there was only debris left behind.

Next to them Sora's blade found purchase against one of the paintings, and shortly after both she and the painting suffered a powerful thunderous blow from 9's spell. However Sora easily shrugged off most of the spell's effects, faring far far better then the painting next to her, which somehow continued to move despite looking nearly destroyed. Meanwhile in the back corner, Nemeia, Cali, and Kal all attacked the remaining statue next to them. While the cover of the alcove proved a good defense against Nemeia's bolt, both Cali and Kal'Duros found purchase with their attacks, chipping away a significant chunk of the marble construct before them.

That marble sculpture lashed out hard against Kal'Duros in response, seemingly trying to take his head off. Of the remaining constructs that were next to Sora, the painting she had attacked moved up the center of the room slightly so it was just in range of 9 for an attack against the caster that hurt it so much. The other remaining sculpture moved around Sora to flank her with the remaining painting along the south wall. Both of them attacking the fighter from their advantageous positions.

Statue against Kal: Attack: 10 Damage: 4

Painting against 9: Attack: 7 Damage: 9

Statue against Sora: Attack: 23 Damage: 9

Painting against Sora: Attack: 22 Damage: 8

Moira

Seeing the weakened painting drawing nearer Moira refocuses her attacks. Bringing one of the Rustys to tug on its hanging wire, while the other skirts under 9's crows to distract the other painting. Moira unleashes another arcane blast at the hostile artwork. then start to edge her way out the door as well. taking up a spot just outside that allows her to peek back in.

Rustys are helping against the two remaining paintings.

Moira Eldritch Blast against painting in the middle of the room Attack: 22 Damage: 9

As the painting is defeated the shadows draw back to Moira. She takes a deep breath as a look of euphoria melting into resolve comes over her face. She takes a step to the center of the room near the foe she just fell.

Moving to the spot just to the left of where the painting was.

Sora gritted her teeth as the shockwave struck her. She's been hit worse before, however, and she just forced herself to shrug it off. Taking a moment to catch her breath she turns to call back to Khorzik. "Get out if you feel you need to. I'm staying in this fight." 

She then takes a step back into the room, slapping her swords together to catch the attention of the painting still attacking her teammates. Once she's out of flanking position she takes a hard swing at the other painting next to her.

Movement: Stepping 5 feet further into the room (to the east).

Attack on the painting still on the South Wall: 20 Damage: 10

( Advantage from Rusty's Help )

Bonus Action - Second Wind: 10

9 will retaliate with her thunderous outburst once more, cracking her whip and commanding her ravens simultaneously. “Almost done here“

Wrath of the storm as a reaction, dex 15 save, 7 lighting damage

Attack: 26 Damage: 8 + 4 if it moves + 1 for the crit

Spriritual weapon attack: 27 Damage: 11

Witt moves his spiritual weapon to attack the statue in the centre of the room (if it's still up, otherwise any nearby enemy.):

Attack: 19 Damage: 10

And then shoots it:

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

As the swing comes in from the statue, Kal instinctively raises the haft of his weapon to block. Just as the strike comes to clobber the seemingly overwhelmed Eladrin, a bubble of golden light shimmers against the blow and resonates with a deep thrum of energy. The [Tooltip Not Found] disappearing just as quickly as it appeared. Kal spins his swords into a blurring whirl of steel and strikes out at the statue again. With a glance it seems like a retreat isn't quite in order and continues attacking the statue

Sword Attack: 16 Damage: 8 (Elven Accuracy 10)

Bonus Attack: Attack: 21 Damage: 8

The group quickly counter attacks the constructs in their midst effectively taking them down one by one. Moira and 9's magical power reduces an approaching painting to worthless, shredded canvas and splinters, while Witt's spectral weapon heavily cracks open the statue behind it, finishing it off with a well placed arrow. Kal, Cali, and Nemeia's efforts against the last remaining statue continue to take it down piece by literal piece. Meanwhile 9 moves closer to the remaining painting, adding her efforts to those of Sora and Khorzik. 

The last remaining statue on the north side, unable to move past and effectively backed into a corner, has no choice but to attack Kal'Duros once more. By contrast, the last remaining painting on the south side turns its attention towards 9 and the grave threat she represents. Though the battle has decided turned against them, the artificial constructs have neither the will nor the intellect to run away, and so continue fighting until destroyed.

Attack on Kal: 12 Damage: 9

Attack on 9: 21 Damage: 4

Moira

The remain familiars continue to help against the two foes that still stand. Moira moves to the bottom of the staircase and let’s another blast off at the standing statue. 

Attack: 22 Damage: 4

Sora remains focused on the final painting, smiling as the wave of battle turns decidedly in their favor, and attacks twice with her swords once again.

Attack: 8 Damage: 10

Bonus Attack: 22 Damage: 7

( first attack with advantage: 15 )

Khorzik looks around, impressed with the ability of his teammates. "Outstanding performance. A decisive victory." He steps towards the last painting and reaches out, hand crackling with electricity as before. 

Kal raises his scimitar and strikes heavily downward, hopeful to finish the construct once and for all.

Slash Attack: 21 Damage: 7

Elven Accuracy: 1

Bonus Attack?: 20 Damage: 7

Nemeia aims her repeating crossbow at the statue and orders Cali to attack as she lets off a bolt. 

Attack: 9 Damage: 15 (piercing damage)

Cali tries to bite the statue.

Attack: 17 Damage: 6 (force damage)

As Sora retaliates, her sword cuts swaths through the animated painting, who being distracted by one of Moira's familiars, is quickly reduced to ribbons by Sora's blades.

Meanwhile Kal continues to slice away at the resilient statue before him, dealing some damage to its marble form, while Moira and Nemeia launch attacks against it that continue to chip away more and more stone until it is barely recognizable. There isn't much of it left by the time Cali attacks it, causing it to crumble under the other construct's fangs.

Combat Ended

"Never thought I'd have to fight a painting and statue before. I guess that's the type of work we deal in now, isn't it?"
