Scags yells "Claw!" to order an attack from opposite sides. Krenmuth swings his warhammer and yells "Torch it!"

Sardonius immediatly moves into position and attacks the mummy from the opposite site of Krenmuth.
The halberd sinks into the flank of the mummy with a crunching sound.

Chapter 2: Into The Temple...

Hjalmar gets behind Melianne and Astrid pushes herself against the wall.

While the mummy can dodge Krenmuth's attack, Annika's eldritch blast hits the mummie's chest and Krenmuth's halberd hit its flank.
The creature swings its sceptre at Annika, groaning and hissing while doing so. The sceptre hits Annika on the shoulder with a strength that you wouldn't expect from a flimsy mummy.
It then turns to Scags. Scags' eyes suddenly grow wide and he is completely frozen in place without even moving a finger.

Annika takes 11 damage.

Hey, I was down to converse over a cup of tea, it's not Melianne's fault the ancient dude went full bad undead supreme right away. :P

"Get this dusty piece of outdated values!" Melianne yels encouragingly at her companions, twirling in place as if actually dancing and laughing mockingly at the mummy. "Pathetic is the ruler who can't even show hospitality to their guests! Hey, maybe you should try actually standing up from your chair more often, you seem a little stiff!"

OOC:

Action: Vicious Mockery.

The force behind the staff is shocking, and Annika staggers but does not fall. "Everything that was once yours is dust," she spits, "And y̸͈̔͐ő̸̪͓ǔ̶̝̯ ̵̜̓͘w̷̟̖͘i̵̯̤̒̄l̵̙̆ļ̷̠̏ ̶̜̝̃͘d̸͍̕i̴̗͖͒̈ē̸̛̯͎ ̷̩͔͛̃f̷̻̏̓o̷̰͍͠r̴̲̣͌̏g̴̬͛̊o̸̳̜͝t̸͕͔̉͒t̸̼̑̆e̵̹̋n̷͈̟̍."

Scags is completely frozen in place, gripping his halberd so tightly that his knuckles turn white.
You can see that he slowly begins to relax but not soon enough to interfere with the mummie's next attack

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunatly Scags is paralyzed because he failed his saving throw by 5 or more.

Chapter 2: Into The Temple...

Annika's rapier pierces the creature where its heart should be. It lets out a terrifying groan and black ooze drips out of the wound. If the creature was a regular, living human being it would have certainly be killed. Before it can recover Krenmuth hits its side with his warhammer.

The mummy turns to Melianne as she mocks the undead that wants to enslave the group.
Her insults seem to work well as the mummy holds its ears (?) and shakes its head.
Enough! the mummy yells YOU WILL PAY ME RESPECT!. It glares at Melianne and she can feel how its gaze tries to find a way into her mind.
Then it swings its sceptre at Annika again. The sceptre hits Annika hard and knocks her off her feet.

Even though the mummy hit Annika hard, you can see that your attacks affected it greaty. It sways a bit left and right and black ooze continues to drip out of the wound that Annika caused.

OOC:

Use of Reactions is always a bit tricky in play-by-post. Annika has the Shield spell available which would make the mummy's attack miss and keep her up and fighting, is it okay to use that? In the interests of time I'm going to post as if she's used her Shield, but I'm happy to edit if necessary.

Annika desperately flings out a hand as the mummy's sceptre bears down on her with crushing force, and it instead crunches into an invisible shield, seeming to shatter the air itself. Without pausing, Annika launches a furious counter-attack, but she is badly shaken and her attacks are clumsy.

The glare Melianne gives the undead after seeing them attack Annika can compare in intensity with the mummy's own. The dancer hisses like a peeved cat, and in a moment of passionate indignation jumps forward, trying to connect her rapier with the opponent.

Chapter 2: Into The Temple...

Both Annika's and Melianne's attacks miss the mummy entirely. Scags' and Krenmuth's claw-formation seems to produce some effect on the other hand as both of their attacks connect with the enemy

The mummy reacts to Krenmuth's invocation of Valkur Cry for help as much as you want. My power is stronger than anything you can muster it hisses and fixates Krenmuth with its glare.
Then it turns around and tries to hit Scags with its sceptre.
Scags's chest is hit and he has to take a step back to compensate for the surprisingly powerful blow of the mummie's attack

For the first time, Krenmuth sees and feels the pure evil emanating from the mummy.

But his faith in Valkur stokes his courage.

OOC:

@Scrol, would you consider a magical attack, such as a Dreadful Glare, an attack susceptible to a "Wrath of the Storm" reaction?

Annika is a monster with these attacks! :0

"Have you considered using these all-mighty powers in more productive exploits?" Melianne uses the mummy's focus on Sardonius to her advantage, trying to reach their vulnerable side with her rapier.

The mummy is very spry for their age, however, and the dancer misses completely. Melianne is almost impressed by the undead's moves - gotta be hard to pull off with barely any working muscles...

OOC:

Usually a magical attack would trigger your ability but in this case I'd rule that it doesn't. Nowhere in the description of the mummie's action it's mentioned that this is an attack. Also no attack roll of any kind is involved in the action
