Myron's increasing might & magic

[DM Bob]

Enemy's Slumber, 12th of Fortuary, midmorning

Ral: Currently in the sky at half moon

Guthay: A sliver

Current Location: The true tomb of Myron, the Buried City


Round 1:

In a relatively short period of time many plans were made and magics woven.

Coden brings his combat mind into play as the folding commences. Luckily, no one is adversely affected by the potential aging this time.

Quila needs to drop her surveillance in order to work such boons from Oronis as you make to enter the smaller, most hidden and secret tomb. As you begin to funnel into the chamber, now released of dead air, you notice that the once ornate lid is now shattered and off to the north-east corner. Oddly the very air shimmers as you feel a brief arrest of movement. As if you're stuck within the ticks of a clock.

In a breathe, you then see a tall funeral robed figure blink into existence in the far, NW corner. The telltale tentacled gold mask, with two odd white gems, smooth and ivory colored gleam dully as Attilius begins to feel a strange effect upon his mind. I need a saving throw vs. spells from Markus.

Quila notices magic all about the dead/not dead failed Champion. The trap on the coffin is no more.

Please change your placement due to the unexpected foe's position.

If there are other buffs, divinations, etc... please post.

Quila: Find Traps (lvl 2) (2 Turns 7 rounds), Detect Poison (lvl 1) (15 round dur.), and Detect Magic (lvl 1) (5 rounds dur.)

Speed, Attilius. A potion of speed increases the movement and combat capabilities of the imbiber by 100%. Thus, a movement rate of 9 becomes 18, and a character normally able to attack once per round attacks twice. This does not reduce spellcasting time, however. Use of a speed potion ages the individual by one year. The aging is permanent, but the other effects last for 5d4 rounds. I have already rolled this.

Prot. From Evil:
16 rounds -6 for Umbris: 13 rnds
for Muiko: -5 = 14 rounds
Attilius: -4 = 15 rounds

Bone Club: 8 -1 = 7 rounds

Songs of the bard, to provide a +1 sav. throw bonus to everyone 8 rounds left

Round 1 of combat mind, +1 to init

Silence 15' radius, 2 rds/level. Depends on the caster. If Skrye, 16 rounds left. Stone is held by Umbris - attack needed to place it properly.

[Umbris (AC 2 | HP 37/37)]

Umbris sees this as he enters, and snarls, darting behind the coffin to break LoS after he whips a stone of silence at the tentacle man

(Rolled an init of 5)
(Rolled a 10, +4 from Dex, +1 from HSB, hits AC of 1)

[AthasianLaborer]

Round 1 Initiative: 6 (rolled a 4, -1 for Combat Mind, -1 for Dex, +4 for Casting Time)
Intention: Cast Psionic Dampener, delaying if necessary to benefit from any other spells the party casts this round.

[Niachi]

Rnd 1 Initiative 6 (rolled a 4, -1 for Combat Mind, -1 for Dex, +4 for Casting Time)
Seemingly in perfect sync, the other elf casts Greater Malison affecting any foe trying to harm them:
CON roll: 18 (fail)

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye walks wary of everything in, carefully smelling the air for any sign of defiling, like if a rasclinn was, as that fawl magic always leave residues..
She gets ready with her daggers, getting ready just in case yet starts to mutter some words aiming to place it at the feet of Myron

[OOC: ROUND 1 >> Summon Insects spell (3rd level, casting 1rnd).

Songs of the bard, to provide a +1 sav. throw bonus to everyone [8 rnds].

Silence at the stone [16 rnds].

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Round 1
Initiative: 3 (rolled a 7, -3 dex, -1 combat mind)

Upon entering the ghastly scene and breathing in the unliving fumes, Quila does what she knows best when she sets eyes upon the living (ok, not living, but you know) embodiment of the faith of Mak Thuum Ngatha, the ex-Champion of Rajaat, Myron.

She concentrates and looks at the best way to move about in this densely occupied small room. She easily sees the safest path to take and is aware of multiple possibilities given other's behaviours that would put her out of harm's way.

Depending on where the Silence-carrying-coin falls, others will hear Quila speak the words "Myron, you will not succeed on furthering Mak Thuum Ngatha's dominance on Athas," and after a short pause adds, "It is better if you let us try that with the mask and you talk to your brother first, no?"

(OOC: Quila manifests a Safe Path rolling a 5 on 16 for a success. PsP down to 78/146. AC -2, saves +4 bonus. She will still position herself in the south, next to Umbris ducking.)

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Coden frowns slightly. The odd stuttering effect upon entering—some kind of magical time warping? Had their foe already made preparations while they were briefly frozen in time?

The warrior-mentalist exhales some of the dead air and starts focusing his mind. A low sensation not unlike having a twisting cat in your arms seems to form in the back of his skull, as he tries to harness the chaotic energies buried deep below his conscious thought to do the improbable, organizing the disorganized in order to use that chaos as a very precise weapon.

(Beginning prep time for Molecular Manipulation.)

[DM Bob]

Round 2:

Attilius hears a very enticing voice whisper in his head, "Throw your weapons to the wall and remove your armor quickly... they're infested with spiders and cock mites, biting your teeny, tiny nethers."

He immediately throws his axe and gouge to the far wall. Due to his magically enhanced speed he manages to also remove his ankheg plate leggings. His arse is sitting on the edge of the stone coffin. Positioned at the mid two north squares of the map. Myron is to the left, north-west corner.

The silenced ceramic bounces in between the goliath and the masked threat... the halfling had to toss over the half giant's shoulder. You can bump out the radius slightly further than originally hoped for. Quila is affected by silence, but Muiko and Niachi can keep to the wall and hear/speak/cast.

Coden focuses his powers.

Suddenly a cloud of blood flies manifest, as if out of thin air. They cloud Myron's body. Attilius is damned sure bugs are a real threat at this moment.

That being said, the held action of casting a dampener of psionics? Well, it succeeds at this point. I rolled a damned 1! Point to be made, this spell requires complete concentration from 'Muiko... but will persist for 1d4 rounds after he ceases such focus. The following round Att can declare new intentions.

Niachi is disgruntled.

[AthasianLaborer]

Round 2 Initiative: 6 (rolled an 8, -1 for Combat Mind, -1 for Dex)
Intention: Maintain Concentration on Psionic Dampening.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Round 2
Initiative 1 (rolled 5, -3 dex, -1 CM)

Intention: Manifest an Invincible Foes on Myron letting him think the next blow could cripple him.

(OOC: Rolled a 13 on 18, success.)

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Coden starts weaving together multiple mental threads. He maintains his concentration on the combat mind, providing split-second awareness around him, while he finishes wrestling with the powers that require precision to perform anarchy.

(Initiative 5, maintain combat mind, manifest molecular manipulation, target: the figure's mask. Power check 12, success.)

[Attilius]

Round 2 map:

Attachments:

[Attilius]

Snapping out of whatever just made him remove his Ocrea armor and toss his weapons, the gladiator super speeds donning his shield to protect him from the insects and golden faced silt horror-undead. He yells out "STAFF ME!" and thrusts his open hand out to the center of the room...

In tombspace, no one can hear you scream. -DM
