Ravenloft game thread

Wolf e emerges from the swarms in the corridor and ends up next to Faelor and Iskandil, attacking Iskandil while he is beating off the bat swarm.

Hotay takes his chances and flees blindly into the lounge whilst the door is open (I assume he is untied from the cart while at rest)

Bats move onto Faelor, provoking AoO from Iskandil. (Faelor may have difficulty casting, DEX check for Somatic components)
I forgot Faelor's readied magic missiles spell from earlier, so I adding the damage to bats j. Sorry!

A wolf charges at Falfaelor from the corridor.

Grizel can not escape the expert skill of Strahd, who maneuvers the grapple to take his first bite of Grizel. The spirit guardians flit around the battlefield, and Strahd's skin turns from moonlight blue to cracked grey, peeling into dust. "You cannot kill me with just magic, cleric!"

(Faelor will cast a l3 spell before he pops it!)
Faelor's hands streak with bright blue energy, filling the corridor with the destructive energy of pure lightning!

(Bats j, i, wolves f, g are dead. Mixed them up!)

The corridor is cleared, but a small fire has started smouldering against the rear wall.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

Grizel is light-headed from the wounds she has taken and the life that the vampire has sapped from her. She can hardly lift her sword anymore. Tears of frustration stream down her face. "I've got to fight on! I can't give up!" Desperately, she claws at her amulet. It glows, and she feels strength surge back into her limbs.

Alastor is heartened by Grizel's resolve but the warhorse is also at his limit. He rears to deliver one last barrage on Strahd.

Grizel uses Lay On Hands to bring herself up from 3hp to 18hp. (10hp now remain in healing pool)

Re: Ravenloft game thread

Katerina see Grizel heal herself and realizes this fight is taking much out of the paladin. "Concentrate your attacks on this fiend of the night!"

Flanking with Sindar, she follows her own advice and lunges and twists, stabbing her rapiers in a stoccato pitch.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

After Grizel's action, Strahd flails in desperation to push Lysander off balance. Alastor cannot strike easily while Grizel is wrestling him, though he is held in place. The hooves hover reluctantly in the air.

The swarm of holy spirits rip bats out of the unnatural colony. The remaining few bats make a frenzied assault on the cleric.

because Sindar is dying, he cannot be used to flank. There doesn't seem to be a way to get advantage with the current placements so I'll take first rolls

Katerina makes 2 cuts into his mottled but tough flesh, and the blunt force seems to be causing lasting damage now.

Another wolf runs down the corridor, just dodging the low embers, and runs to maul Iskandil.

Ireena cuts down a bat from Lysander's space. Steel is holding ground.

Faelor is assaulted by bats, but Iskandil makes a sharp swing to stop them.

Wolf b makes a killing lunge at Alastor, failing when a bright white spirit collides with it mid-flight, slamming into into a wall.

Another board splinters loudly elsewhere, and rabid barking echoes from the left corridor.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

Lysander swirls his cup, calling forth a flash of Sacred Flame. Strahd barely avoids it, throwing Grizel from side to side in the process.

Wolf e makes a lunge at Falfaelor.

Iskandil will strike Wolf e, downing it in one.

Strahd pulls Grizel close like an expert ballroom dancer, draining life blood from her veins, and she remains strong. Edit - Grizel still has HP!

Creatures are approaching from the left corridor towards Faelor, but they are not within reach yet.

Strahd lunges at Lysander to attack. Lysander was expecting to be grabbed, but Strahd throws a punch, sending him off balance, and the spirit guardians disappear from sight, leaving a hazy aura in the air.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

As the Spirit Guardian's fade, Lysander draws on the power Saga once again. Light fills his chalice again and bursts outward from it. There is a wave of light and energy that buffets everyone nearby. Lysander's voice booms with authority and power for a moment. "BEGONE!"

::Using Turn Undead, DC 15 Wisdom, Range 30 ft., in case any of the other monsters are undead, though it seems it might just be Strahd. Last ditch effort I think.::

Re: Ravenloft game thread

I howl in pain from the wolf's bite. After shaking it loose, magical energy flares to life around my hand. Three bright points of red light fly from my hand, zooming to strike the wolf.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

Faelor destroys wolf h, leaving only bats in sight. Grizel makes 2 powerful strikes against Strahd, grazing his tough flesh.

Lysander is continuously assaulted by bats, but they are ineffectual.

Katerina's strikes are caught by Strahd in his hands, like a tough leather glove. She twists the last cut and he recoils, although seeming not even to tire from battle.

Ireena tries to free Lysander from the bats, and cries: "in here. Carry the fallen!" Before retreating to the lounge where hotay is.

Bats g moves onto Faelor's space to attack, and Iskandil tries to stop them again.

Bats a viciously swarm on Katerina, causing serious damage. More bats appear behind you in the middle of the hall.

Re: Ravenloft game thread

Strahd responds by swinging Grizel around, being held by her one arm, to bite Lysander while he presents his symbol. He draws quite some blood and seems revitalised in the process.

Wolf d appraches Faelor from behind and goes to bite his legs. Iskandil strikes the bats on him, swatting the remaining few.
