Chapter Six: The Muster of Caltlikrath

Felor on autopilot casts Guiding Bolt again.

Edit: The Guilding Bolt strikes true, and the strange odor of pustulent demonic eye goo sizzling in the heat of radiant magical energy fill the chamber.

The black shadow rears up and assumes an elongated, vaguely human shape with two eyelike circles rimmed with a cold blue light set in the hump of its head. Its appendages make a striding motion as it glides toward the party.

Domarc, Leth, Zangua, you're up.

"We even doing anything to it, hunter?" Zangua says, dancing around the whipping tentacles. Feeling rushed with the presence of the demon's servant, he presses a surge of attacks against the large eye.

Approaching from about 25' to your left.

Domarc will cast Hypnotic Pattern in front of the approaching shadow then; centered about 5 feet in front of him, the cube shouldn't impact anyone else.

Sorry for the delay, I was away for the weekend!

Quote:

Hypnotic Pattern
Level: 3
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: 120 feet
Components: S, M (a glowing stick of incense or a crystal vial filled with phosphorescent material)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a twisting pattern of colors that weaves through the air inside a 30-foot cube within range.
The pattern appears for a moment and vanishes. Each creature in the area who sees the pattern must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed for the duration. While charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0.

The spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor.

Can I sneak in a quick check to see if I recognise if the dark figure is some sort of undead creature? If I need to wait until my turn and use an action to do this, that's fine and I'll wait.

The dark figure reminds Felor of Presbyter Krog's eyewitness descriptions of the wraiths of Fentuth Vale when they were called forth from the mass grave of the Roskan mercenaries by the necromancer Alsult to avenge their betrayal by Oferjarl Erick IV, only to be dissolved by Fjorgyn's holy light when initiates from a nearby convent who were out picking winterberries joined together in prayer.

"You're doing well enough," the hunter says brusquely as Zangua batters the demon. Domarc conjures a scintillating, twisting apparition of light in front of the wraith.

Leth, you're up!

Leth Everwood

Leth is about to turn his attention towards the shadowy figure, but decides to keep his focus on the larger threat when Domarc begins weaving his spell.

Quote:

"You're doing well enough."

"As long as we're hurting it, that's good enough for me." Leth responds before releasing two more arrows at the demon.

Leth puts two arrows into the demon even as it focuses its dreadful gaze upon him.

Leth, make a Wisdom saving throw.

The demon hunter releases a hidden dagger from his belt with a smooth, practiced motion, swings his axe at the demon's trunk with an uppercut motion and pivots to drive the dagger into the same spot where he aimed the axe blow.

The wraith drifts up alongside Zangua and reaches out with a dark, spectral hand.

Edit: This time, the demon hunter's attacks do not find purchase.

The touch of the wraith's clawlike finger on Zangua's upper arm seems to suck all the heat out of his body.

Zangua, make a Constitution saving throw. Felor and Mordred, you're up.

"By Fjorgyn's mighty hammer! A wraith!" exclaims Felor, turning his attention to the apparition assaulting Zangua. He raises his shield to present the symbol of Fjorgyn painted thereon and, looking to the heavens (or at least where the heavens would have been if they weren't obscured by the cavern ceiling), Felor intones: "I drive ye away, foul creature! Fjorgyn's holy light banishes your false life from this place! Begone!"

Sorry guys, life has been a bit crazy, but should be settling down a bit now. Thanks for your patience!

I think I had a Burning Hands back there that slipped through the cracks, but I'm happy to pretend it never happened and throw it again.

Mordred looks up at the looming eye and blasts a cone of fire directly into it.

B-Hands:

Quote:

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (15-foot cone)

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

Apr 19, 2018 3:59 pm

Rolling for both of Mordred's Burning Hands!

Zangua staggers as his very life essence seems to drain out into the vacuum of the wraith's presence.

Leth, meanwhile, looks directly into the black center of the demon's eye and becomes transfixed, all thoughts sucked out of his mind and lost. His arms, holding his bow and arrow at the ready, go slack.

Edit: The flames from Mordred's spell ignite some of the dry roots, leaving small fires burning as the demon writhes further out from the structure that had held it.

The wraith ignores Felor's holy rebuke.

Domarc, Zangua, you're up. Leth, you can't take an action this turn.

"Gah," says Zangua, withering under the wraith's attack. "In case you don't know, try not to let it hit you." His banal attempt at humor over, Zangua maintains his focus upon the demon and unleashes another round of attacks.

OOC:

I forgot to roll a reaction Opportunity Attack when the wraith moved into my reach. Is it too late to add that?

This is going swimmingly, Domarc thinks as he charges across the chamber to knock Leth aside, hoping to free him from the hypnotic power of the eye.
