"I don't know why you're suddenly so concerned about that drow snake anyway."

Elfog approaches the pool and peers into the water. He can see something down there, but can't quite tell what it is. After a few moments of looking he can see a face in the water with its eyes closed. Suddenly, the eyes open wide and it rushes toward the surface. Elfog barely has time to pull back before it comes out of the water (though it doesn't disturb the water at all) and lands in front of him. It is a deep gnome ghost, and it screams at you as it takes on a horrible appearance.
OOC:
Roll a Wisdom Save, everyone! Once saves are rolled we will go into initiative!

Elfog is in reach of the ghost, and everyone else is no more than 30 feet away (You can all reach it in one round)

Mai'ngor has barely finished muttering about Sarith when something explodes out of the pool nearby.

Hunter exclaims in surprise at the explosion of movement, and clutches her head to try and drown out the unearthly sound.

Everyone except for Xeliss deals with the ghost's appearance pretty well. Xeliss sags for a moment as she becomes prematurely older (She ages by 10 years). The ghost now moves to attack, but the heroes recover faster than it expected and act even faster.
OOC:
You guys have the initiative on the ghost!

Rolls

Aging! (multiply by 10) - (1d4)

(1) = 1

Mai'ngor reacts quickly and charges forward, calling forth Sinag's blade as he does so. He leaps and slashes at the ghost two-handed.

Hunter backs away, trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and the ghost. "It's not a medusa, that's for sure!" she cries as she flicks her wrist to throw three magical darts of energy, each missile flashing out towards the apparition.

Rolls

Magic Missile damage (force) - (3d4+3)

(341) + 3 = 11

Wild Magic Surge - (1d20)

(2) = 2

Elfog begins to panic at the sight of the ghost.
OOC:
Forgot I have 5 players in this game, sorry Szemely! Elfog is suffering from the frightened condition and so is Xeliss.

OOC:
Replace 'players' with 'children' and you have a glimpse of my childhood. (just kidding)
Trying his best not to let the others see his obvious trembling, Elfog quickly grabs for Tolvihar and takes a half-hearted swipe at the wispy gnome. "What are you!?!"

Rolls

Axe Attack (w/ disadvantage) - (1d20+7, 1d20+7, 1d12+5)

1d20+7 : (11) + 7 = 18

1d20+7 : (7) + 7 = 14

1d12+5 : (4) + 5 = 9

Sinag hums with pleasure as it pierces the ghostly form of the gnome, This is what I was forged for! the thoughts stream from Sinag to Mai'ngor and bring him immense pleasure.

Hunter's magical assault causes the ghost to blur and fade momentarily as its very essence is attacked.

Tolvihar rips into the ghost's form and it screams again, this time in pain.

The ghostly figure shouts out, "They are coming! We must hide!" then turns and rushes into a nearby residence.

"Let's get out of here!" cries Hunter, going so far as to pull on the clothing of any who seem stuck to the floor. She heads back to the passageway leading to the Crystal Garden. "The sounds of battle we heard may be the event that created these ghosts!"

OOC:
You're referring to the first passage you encountered, correct?
Jul 28, 2016 8:14 pm
OOC:
Yes. On the map, leading to area 19.
Jul 28, 2016 8:29 pm
You move up into the Crystal Garden. Light from luminescent fungi refracts through large crystal formations erupting from the floor, creating a kaleidoscope of colors on the surrounding walls. The crystals are semitransparent, slightly distorting images seen through them. A statue of a gnome cowers near a crystal outgrowth, holding a broken crystal in its hands.

Tunnels lead up to area 20 and down into area 21. Two sets of stairs carved from the walls lead up to the Steadfast Stone.

Hunter pauses to catch her breath. She eyes the gnome statue and its peculiar pose, and checks that her mirrors are within easy reach; the notion of medusae certainly lends itself to the imagination.
Jul 29, 2016 11:48 pm
Eyes fixated on the gnome statue Elfog moves up besides Hunter. "Statue or victim?" he asks without breaking his gaze.

Deadpan, Hunter responds, "Yes."
