Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

At 15 Ulthan may notice what's going on down below. If it's getting that thick that he can't see, he'll jump down and starts shooting if group is under attack.
Powerful pull Arrow 1: 15 Damage: 18
Powerful pull Arrow 1: 18 Damage: 20

Lionel Initiative: 13

Meepo initiative: 14

With the blackness all around him, Ulthan can barely see, but he sees the creatures of red lightning stop, and begin moving threateningly towards the party.  He can barely see anything though. He looks down.  It's a long jump....30 feet down...stupid giant castle.  But, instead, the mountain man takes a run along the edge of the crumbling upper floor and leaps, flying over towards the wall and landing on top of one of the trophy cases.  He spins, and fires two arrows at the nearest lightning spirit. The first arrow, fired from his magical bow, tears through the creature, and comes out the other side crackling with red lightning, where it evaporates into dust.  Though it seems to have hurt the thing. 

The crackling lightning thing turns towards its new closest foe, Ulthan. He's on the top of the trophy case though, so it looks like the creature will have a hard time...... the lightning creature takes flight, leveling itself with Ulthan fifteen feet up, as it attacks.....

A limb of crackling red energy lashes out twice at Ulthan. 

Attack: 20 Damage: 23 (force damage)

Attack: 31 Damage: 24 (force damage) 

Mordekai, Ketch, Meepo, and Lionel are up. 

(Round 1: Ulthan 22, Spirit: 16, Mordekai 15, Ketch 14, Meepo: 14, Lionel 13, Spirit 2: 13)

(Conditions:  Mordekai : Exhaustion 2, Ketch : Exhaustion 1)

Pffft, stupid flying spirit... Ulthan feels like he's been tricked somehow. He takes some fall damage 3, then gets nearly blasted off the trophy case but rolls with the 2nd blow 9, right off the trophy case taking more fall damage 5.
Meanwhile the spirit fails to realize how much damage it took, it takes an extra 6 damage (piercer feat, see below) any 1-3 re-roll)

Piercer: Reroll Damage (Special)
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an attack that deals piercing damage, you can reroll one of the attack’s damage dice, and you must use the new roll.

Mordekai points to a spot directly between the two spirits, which I think and hope is within 20ft of both of them? He casts Calm Emotions and says clearly, "We just want shelter from the storm! Let's not make this ugly."

(DC18 CHA save for both, assuming they're both within 20ft radius of the point Mordekai targeted)

(Waiting on above as Meepo would come after Mordekai.)

S1 : 18.  S2: 17

The spirit near Ulthan seems pull back slightly from the Goliath....once again looking calm, while the other, closer to the rest of the group, still crackles with violent energy....

     Ketch isn't sure what the warlock is trying but suspects it's nothing violent as he sees... no violence.  As such he decides he will wait before resorting to his brand new axe.  But he does move to what he supposes is "behind" the nearest spirit and holds his action - A swing of his Giant Slayer Axe - until he sees more violence from the spirits. 

Held GSA Attack: 10 Damage: 8 if needed.  An extra 6 if the spirit counts as a giant and DC 15 Str Save or it falls prone... which seems odd for a spirit. :)

Meepo casts wall of force around the still-hostile-looking spirit.

Spirits did not attack and neither did Lionel. If there was a spot looking less visited by floating spirits, he would move there and motion to others to do the same. Other than that he is waiting.

The still angrily red and crackling energy spirit suddenly makes no noise.  It attempts to move forward, only to hit an invisible sphere blocking its way forward.  The lightning from it crackles outwards and reaches the edges of the sphere, zapping about.  The other spirit doesn't seem to mind this, remaining calm and not so "electric", and slowly begins floating about the room at random.

You each have 9 rounds (54 seconds) with which to do things before Calm Emotions ends. If anyone attacks either creature, we will also go straight back into initiative, but for the moment we're free of it. 

     "Basement?" Ketch says, still standing ready with his axe but nudging his head in the direction of the steps. 

Mordekai nods to Ketch, and says to both the spirits, "We mean no harm, we have no plans to destroy or steal anything, we simply seek shelter. You do not need to follow us"

Then he'll look for the mote-creature who didn't seem to be coping too well with the hostile spirits and beckon it to come too.

Ulthan eats berries and starts healing himself. "hrmpfh stupid spirit hrmpfh" 6, 5, 14

As the group ...re-groups...and heads for the stairs, you find yourself having to jump awkwardly down the large steps. But, before you get too far, Grenk's magical sight picks up a strange aura. An aura of conjuration fills the stairway just at the landing. 

     Ketch barks out "Stop!" and holds up a hand to signal the same.  "There is...  Something near the landing.  Likely a spell, definitely some conjuration magic...Perhaps a trap or some kind?  Perhaps we send a skeleton ahead of us?"

Mordekai stops and looks in the direction Ketch is pointing.  Then he looks down to the Mote-man (who I assume is still with us?) and says, "Are you ok?  You seemed to be struggling back there.  Do you see that magic?  Do you know what this place is?"

Mostly out of curiosity Lionel tries to check the surroundings for the presence of evil (or good?) presence: Divine Sense.

"Meepo send Rat." Meepo says as he waves the zombie tressym forward. Rat flies drunkenly towards the landing and would land directly on it. As this is happening Meepo opens his hole wide and calls for his skeletons, wishing to have them to aid him as they move onward. He still rides the phantom steed.
