Baracus is so close he can smell the shamans, but he is tangled in the Berserkers. Yet maybe he can clear the way so that someone else can be the hero? He punches the Berserker charging Makabo, and then tries to pull another berserker along but can't get purchase with all the blood on his hands. He gives him a kick to the ribs and propels himself away from the scrum, dragging the one berserker with him.

Hearing Apo Tagipusuon's call, Ybus shrugs and moves forward 10 feet into the maggot swarm, ignoring the writhing mass that crawls into his boots. He summons a ball of flame into his hand, then winds up and throws it at the dais. Where the ball lands, a giant bonfire erupts to engulf the shaman corpses.

To assist the raging mountain of muscle, Ybus summons a spectral bucket. "Confetti!" yells the halfling, tossing a glittering cascade of light upon Baracus's shoulders.

Erden puffs on his cigar as he holds a hand forth. Four white-hot rays of fire streak forth toward the last shaman still standing. As he releases the smoke, he puffs a ring which surrounds Baracus, making his friend feel very lucky!

Ack! I deleted the second post, thinking it a duplicate. I realize now that the rolls for Scorching Ray #2 was on there. That was the crit fail though.

I hate to say it, but Baracus is about 65ft away. The smoke ring won't reach him. :-(

It's a brawl between Baracus and the pair of kalding berserkers (B4 & B5). They batter Baracus with their horns (3+5 bludgeoning after DR) but the half-orc stays standing strong!

The kalding berserker (B6) standing over Makabo slashes at the downed tikbalang obvious relish. (7 slashing after DR)

The portal continues to vomit maggots, which plague the tikbalang warband. Unlike the rat temple portal, you don't see any obvious energy source.

The alpha graboid finally gets the better of Lingkon-Hok. The big tikbalang dies horribly, chomped to bloody bits by the massive worm!

Apo Tagipusuon, Buluyagon, and a handful of tikbalang dash forward, heedless of the maggots, to rally around Makabo. The fighters naturally see the massive graboid as the biggest threat, but Apo Tagipusuon keeps yelling out warnings about the shamans.

The last shaman standing (S2), its hide hissing and blackened by Erden's scorching rays, looks down on the pulsating mound of flesh that Ybus set aflame. It already holds s serrated dagger in its hand but its devotion wavers. The shaman tosses the dagger aside and chooses to heal itself of its burns.

Battle Music

The two shaman corpses merge and rise as a jumble of limbs and heads, towering 9 feet tall! Heedless of Ybus' flames at its feet (6 fire damage), it grabs the recalcitrant shaman by the neck, lifts it off the ground, slashes its belly open with its claws, and bathes in its blood! The dais steps are covered in gore!

"Abomination!" Apo Tagipusuon cries!

"A Chosen of Kaliya-te," Buluyagon growls. "We're fucked!"

Ybus's thoughts continue to involve heat and flame, channeling his power through the magical bonfire upon the dais. Twiddling the fingers on both hands, he points finger-guns at the inter-planar portal and launches two blasts of arcane force. "Do it!" he yells to no one in particular, accidentally releasing flammable gas from his backside.

The wave of poison begins to leave Baracus. With his free hand, he slips out the First Sword, stabs at his headlocked foe, knees him in the gut. He regards the foolish berserker with pity.

"How it must feel to have spent your whole life preparing for this moment only to fail."

Then he tosses him over the edge, casually sheathes his clever knife, and trudges back to the heart of the action.

Ybus blasts the portal's spinning rings. The portal wavers, but keeps going. From what you saw back in the rat temple, this thing can take quite a bit of punishment and still keep going. If only you could find the power source and find a way to disconnect it!

The berserker (B4) laughs in Baracus face, "To die is to gain! Each death fuels our victory! It's you that's fail--" That's all the goatman manages to say before the half-orc tosses it off the cliff to be dashed on the jagged rocks below.

As Ybus blasts the portal, Erden nods in understanding, "I'll take care of the rest, friends!" he says as he moves into the maggot swarms to get close enough to cast his spell. Once he's in range, a loud boom explodes from the portal rings where Ybus hit it.

The ear-shattering boom from Erden's spell rings out across the battlefield. The contraption continues to spin, but there is definitely a whining and grating to its motion now.

Battle Music

Makisig, the erstwhile warband leader, goes to his prince's aid, interposing himself between Makabo and the kalding berserker that knocked him down. (B6 takes 11 piercing)

Makabo leaps to his feet, fights shoulder to shoulder with Makisig. Both warriors are in the throes of the tikbalang war dance -- leaping and whooping, their weapons flashing. (B6 takes 14 slashing) The berserker is driven back by Makabo and Makisig's combined skill, but it's still very much in this fight, and still manages to prevent the two tikbalang leaders from rallying to Apo Tagipusuon.

This is also the intent of the other kalding berserker (B5) who heaves its greataxe at Baracus as the half-orc wades back into the fray. (22 vs. AC 17. Baracus takes 3 slashing after D.R.)

The maggots swarm over all the combatants! Two of them are able to burrow under Erden's skin! (7 piercing damage, and see OOC) Both berserkers are infested as well -- the maggots seem not to care who they devour!

The rest of the warband try their best to fend off the maggots as they gang up on the Alpha Graboid which has just grabbed another one of the kalding warriors with its slobbering, barbed tentacles.

Buluyagon stands in defense of Apo Tagipusuon as she begins to chant, signalling the beginning of some sort of cleansing rite. Will it banish the maggots? Help destroy the portal? Take out the Chosen of Kaliya-te? You can only guess.

The Chosen of Kaliya-te strides forward through the fire at its feet (6 fire damage) and descends the dais to tower over Buluyagon and Apo Tagipusuon. It lashes out with a clawed hand at Buluyagon, who does his best to shield the white-maned elder with his own body. Buloy suffers only a shallow gash across his chest, but the wound immediately blisters and blackens. (4 necrotic damage)

Baracus savages the filthy goatman with the First Sword! (savage crit for 13 piercing damage) The berserker stumbles, blood pouring in a crimson fan down its neck, before Ybus blasts a smoking hole in its chest. (One hit for 9 force damage) Incredibly, though obviously on its last legs, the creature still stands!

The swarming maggots cannot sway Erden's focus on the portal. The machine is rocked by another thunderous blast from the war mage! (23 thunder damage)

Buluyagon's kris flashes in the sun, but with his festering wound plaguing him, he is unable to land a hit against the abomination towering over him and Tagipusuon. The elder continues her ritual, her quiet strength rallying the tikbalang champions.

With Makisig's spinning javelin guarding his flank, Makabo dances past the berserkers to bring his kampilan to bear against the Chosen, but the monstrous kalding parries the blow with its gnarled staff.

The rest of the tikbalang warband have the alpha graboid surrounded, but their numbers are starting to wear thin as more and more of them fall prey to the maggot swarm.

The Chosen of Kaliya-te slams its staff into the ground, and a cloud of deadly poison belches forth, enveloping the combatants near the dais. (Baracus takes 11 poison damage) The tikbalang leaders retch and gag as the poison grips them. Of all of them, Buluyagon looks the worst, but the tattooed rascal fights on.

One of the berserkers (B6) goes down, convulsing painfully, its mouth frothing. The other survives the poison cloud, only to die an even more horrible death as the maggots burrowing through its flesh finally make their way to its heart.

Kalding signal horns call out, alarmingly close, from the main battle raging on the slopes below. Reinforcements will arrive soon! You must destroy the portal now!

Baracus stands tall as the putrid cloud washes over them. He watches the Berserkers fall, their bodies as hollow as their beliefs. He breathes deep, letting the searing pain of the poison fuel him, and then bellows loud enough for the heavens to hear:

"WITNESS!"

He charges through the cloud, drawing forth his father's battle axe. Gripping in two hands, he leaps into the air and brings down the axe with all his weight behind it. He follows up with a skull-cracking head butt.

Ybus ends his concentration on the magical bonfire, and instead creates a new one right next to him. He plunges his arm into the fire to burn out the maggot, wincing at the pain. "Ain't the worst worm I've had, but this time I didn't even get to enjoy it!"

Erden begins moving to the side to see if he can get an angle on the portal (preferably the safer of the directions). He winces in pain from the grubs inside of him, but maintains focus and launches yet another spell at the portal.

Battle Music

With a snarl, the Chosen of Kaliya-te brings up its greatclub to deflect the deadly arc of Baracus' two-handed axe-swing. The axe bites into the ground, but Baracus reverses the momentum and rams his head into the towering goat-monster's face with a sickening crunch. (7 bludgeoning) The Chosen reels, fighting to maintain control of the poison cloud billowing across the battlefield.

The killing cloud rolls along, leaving dead tikbalang in its wake, their limbs contorted, lifeless eyes bulging from sockets, their equine faces covered with vomit.

The maggots swarm over everything, consuming flesh both dead and living. The alpha graboid finally meets its demise at the hands of the surviving tikbalang warriors.

Though Ybus acts quickly, the lone maggot chews a little deeper into his insides (6 damage) before he can exterminate it with fire (11 damage. Two Concentration checks please, Ybus.)

Ignoring the maggots tunneling through his flesh (5 damage) Erden concentrates his dwindling magical energies at the failing portal one last time. CRASH! BOOM! The spinning metal rings fly apart, flinging debris in all directions! (All roll DC 13 DEX saves or take 1 bludgeoning damage)

The portal is finally silenced, but the Chosen cares not one bit -- it only craves death, and lashes with all its might at everyone around it. Baracus turns aside a hammering blow from the greatclub. Blackened lesions blossom across Makabo's tattoed torso as he is caught by a swipe of the gnarled staff. Apo Tagipusuon kicks and thrashes against the Chosen's grip as the monster's third hand grabs her by the neck!

"Apo Tagipusuon! No!" Makisig charges the Chosen, leaping into the air to pummel the abomination with his hooves, only to be thwarted by a defensive sweep of its curved horns. But it's enough to create an opening for Buluyagon and Makabo's dancing blades (12 & 17 slashing) as they fight desperately to defend the elder.

Baracus abandons a any defenses and aims his axe to decapitate the Chosen. When it slams into his thick neck, he punches the haft to drive it further in.

"I pity the fool who gets chosen by ME."
