Elfog gives a quick glance over to Sarith, "You heard her, Drow, sounds to be trouble heading our way!" He quickly moves to the door in preparation for Hunter's arrival.

"Keep yer eye on him!" he blurts in dwarvish to Eldeth as he still has very little trust in his dark companion.
OOC:
I assume Eldeth and some of the others are still up the stairs with the smart folk?
Jan 22, 2016 11:49 pm
Sarith and Eldeth take ready stances with blades drawn.
OOC:
There is no door at the top of the stairs, just an opening.
Yes, others are up top with you, I just didn't put them on the map at all because it would be too cluttered.

"Fly, you fools!" Mai'ngor snarls at the others who haven't yet fled. He draws his blades and positions himself between the ghosts and the adventurers.
OOC:
Mai'ngor is taking the Dodge action. If it is also possible to retreat while doing this then he will do so, but will maintain his position in between the ghosts and the party.

Soliin backs up to the base of the stairs. I can run, but Mai'ngor has been useful so far... He holds at the base, crossbow at the ready. He's hoping Mai'ngor is gonna run, but wants to make sure he'd be up the stairs first.

Sensing my golden opportunity about to fade from my grasp, I do what comes naturally- I draw ferocity into my veins and revert to the form of a wolf. Instinctually, I snap at the nearest thing with my fangs.

Xeliss assumes the form of a wolf and leaps upon Specter 3 and despite the creature’s ethereal appearance manages to catch hold of something solid and she can feel part of its essence slip away.
OOC:
That's the player turn, I will post the Specter turn tomorrow. Also, Moofsalot, go ahead and keep that inspiration, I think you're gonna need it!
Jan 26, 2016 1:59 pm
The Specters hiss at you and despite Mai'ngor blocking the way move right through the walls to confront the others.


Specter 1 floats through Mai'ngor and re solidifies behind him, cutting off his escape. He turns just in time to avoid the creature's chill touch.

Specter 2 appears in front of Jimjar, who easily avoids the monster's attack and returns the attack with much greater success. His shortsword catches the Specter and he can feel the creature's power weaken slightly with his blow (6 damage)

Specter 3 reaches out and catches the wolf by the throat, beginning to drain its life force (14 damage), but suddenly it is replaced by a gnome and its grip is lost.
OOC:
In the interest of not killing anybody I am going to take the Inspiration that Xeliss had used and negate the crit with it. (DM fiat for the win!)
As specter 4 approaches, Soliin fires with his hand crossbow. The bolt hits and then falls to the floor; you can tell the bolt did some damage, but not a huge amount (3 damage). Specter 4 catches Soliin by the arm and drains his energy (7 damage) for just a moment before he can escape its grip.

Situation: Elfog and the others are upstairs, Hunter is 30 feet up the stairs, Soliin, Xeliss, Mai'ngor, and Jimjar are locked in mortal combat with the Specters.

Anyone hit must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save or have their max hp reduced by the amount of damage they take

Mai'ngor crosses his swords in a ritual gesture and his tattoos glow red as, with a whooping battlecry, the tikbalang leaps into a whirling dance of blades and hooves that crashes into the specter that has Xeliss in its grasp.
OOC:
Bonus action to enter War Dance (our homebrewed, finesse version of rage)
Standard action to attack once.

Mai'ngor can feel the blade he took from Shoor connect solidly with specter 3, turning it into vapor which disperses quickly. Obviously the blade has some sort of magic in it to dispatch the specter so easily.
Jan 26, 2016 3:37 pm
Hunter turns briefly and flicks out her hand at Specter4, throwing three blue-white daggers of magical energy at it and assist Soliin. Then she resumes her ascent up the stairs.

Hunter's magic missiles slam into Specter 4 causing it to let out an unearthly wail. It is still around, but it looks even less substantial than before.
OOC:
Hunter is now 60 feet up the stairs.

Soliin shouts up the stairs. "Damnit! They're fighting the things! I need help!" as he drops the crossbow and pulls out his shortsword, driving it into the unnatural monster.
OOC:
I don't know if I can drop the crossbow, draw the sword, and attack. Let me know and I can modify my action/add rolls appropriately.

Jan 26, 2016 4:59 pm
OOC:
You can drop your crossbow as a non-action, draw your sword as your free interaction for the round, and make your attack (You'll even get to sneak attack because Jimjar is within 5 feet of the enemy!)
Soliin drops his crossbow to draw his sword out and with a desperate swing he manages to dispatch Specter 4.
OOC:
Soliin's max hp is reduced by 7 until he takes a long rest.

Xeliss still has a turn to take before the specters go
Jan 27, 2016 1:44 am
Hearing Soliin's yell, Elfog peeks down the stairs and sees Hunter running up. "Hunter, what trouble have those fools gotten themselves into!?"
Jan 27, 2016 4:15 pm
"Hey! That stings!" I shake off the bite and meld back into my wolf form, ready to attack the nearest spectre once again.

Xeliss transforms back into the wolf and leaps past Mai'ngor to sink her teeth into Specter 1 (3 damage)

OOC:
It is the Specters' turn
I will post their turn as a separate post
Jan 27, 2016 5:31 pm
Specter 1 reaches out to grab Xeliss and throw her off, but her grip is too good. She can feel her life force draining (9 damage), but she manages to keep her grip.

Specter 2 reaches into Jimjar's chest and he can feel his legs begin to buckle (21 damage). He manages to stay on his feet and lash out at the apparition with his blade. He connects solidly and the specter recoils back. Jimjar falls to the ground and is very still.

"Ghosts! Specters! Undead!" replies Hunter as she nears the top of the stairs. She is fully expecting the rest of the expedition to be on her heels, malicious spirits on their heels.
Jan 27, 2016 6:25 pm
Hunter is able to reach the upper floor now. Her cries of undead cause Stool to begin shaking in fear.

Shuushar looks troubled, "It's best not to trouble the sleep of the dead."

Eldeth looks slightly ill, "Maybe we should never have come here after all..."
Jan 27, 2016 7:55 pm
Mai'ngor lunges forward, his blades seeking the specter engaged with Xeliss.
