<OOC> Whirlpool says, "First, everyone roll will." GAME: Edinaz rolls will: (18)+3: 21 GAME: Silmeria rolls will: (16)+9: 25 GAME: Ashes rolls will: (4)+11: 15 GAME: Lysos rolls will: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)
The void dragon above spreads its wings and stares down at you. It's not so much that it can see you, or can't see you, but that it's presence is so unsettlign, like a nagging, weighing thing nibbling at the corners of your mind, filling you with horrors and doubts.
Or more confusion, in Lysos' case. It takes a breath.
GAME: Lysos rolls 1d100: (95): 95 <OOC> Whirlpool says, "Lysos, you panic and swing at, hm, Ashes? XD" GAME: Lysos rolls 1d20+3: (18)+3: 21 GAME: Lysos rolls 1d3: (2): 2 GAME: Lysos damaged Ashes for 2 points. 54 HP remaining.
Yep. So that's a dragon. And so many wights. Including one that is suddenly right beside her! Lysos yells, panicked, and throws a right hook at it as she tries to scramble away.
The wights have stopped what they're doing. All of them. At the same time.
... the ones that aren't dead, anyway, or dissolved from the harm done so far. Those that weren't quite in reach, or behind a mining cart.."
GAME: Edinaz casts Glitterdust. Caster Level: 8 DC: 14 GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+9: (9)+9: 18
Edinaz looks up, and curses voceriferously. He incants quickly, and a glittering cloud appears around the head of the dragon, motes of light settling on its scales, tracing its position. Pulling both swords from his scabbard, he runs for better cover, expecting drastic retaliation.
GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d20+12: (9)+12: 21 GAME: Whirlpool rolls 1d6+6: (3)+6: 9
"Oi! Deadmeats!" Baz shouts at the nearest wight, which turns towards him with blind, white eyes. "Kor don't like Deadmeats!"
Da Ork steps in, swinging his axe, slashing the stupified and partially melting foe to pieces, "keep da door open for your friends."
GAME: Ashes rolls 1d100: (86): 86 <OOC> Whirlpool says, "Okay, AShes! You turn and slap Lysos! XD" <OOC> Whirlpool says, "(because that's hilarious)" GAME: Ashes rolls weapon0: (10)+5: 15 GAME: Ashes rolls damage0: aliased to 1d3+0: (3)+0: 3 <OOC> Lysos says, "Hey. I didn't hit you that hard." <OOC> Ashes has to represent the hobgoblin race. :)
THAT is a big dragon!
It isn't actually. It seems larger when it is looming overhead. When it's nostrils are pointed right at you, like a twin barrelled thunderbelcher. And you have darksight, so there's nothing preventing you seeing all the way up it's long snout into its sinuses. Ashlee wonders how it has any room left in its skull for brain. That's a long way. She's going to stay hidden.
Out of nowhere! She's punched! It's better than being booted, but she was punched in the face! She punches back! At... whatever that was... that hit her.
Lysos gets a fist with bone tattoos on it slaming into her.
GAME: Silmeria casts Chains of Perdition. Caster Level: 9 DC: 15 <OOC> Silmeria says, "https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/chain-of-perdition/" GAME: Silmeria rolls 1d20+9+4: (5)+9+4: 18
And in the face of the Void Dragon's terrible majesty, horrifying enough to pit friend against friend from sheer panic, Silmeria merely lifts her chin. "You think yourself beyond mortality, gravewyrm? That you command Death, and that we mortals are mere insects to be crushed beneath your tread?" Shaking her head, the Inquisitor touches the emblem on her robes, closing her eyes for a moment. "You *live,* creature. There is blood yet in your veins, and a heart that beats, knows pride, and hate, and *fear.* You are not *above* mortality. You are yet one of *us.* Do you know how I know? I *speak* for Death. I know exactly what She would say to the likes of you."
There is a flash of silver light beneath her palm, and a long, hooked chain shimmers into view, swinging ghostly barbs toward the dragon's snout. "GOT YOUR NOSE~!"
The dragon lunges its long head forward and snaps at the chains flying towardds its nose. This does not work on it, it would appear.
Still, it's looking a little rattled. Perhaps it's the impact of the hexes its's feeling now. It draws up it's small, for a dragon, body and spreads its wings and then draws in a breath.
Immediately, it's like the air has left the room.
GAME: Edinaz rolls fort: (3)+7: 10 GAME: Silmeria rolls fortitude: (4)+8: 12 GAME: Ashes rolls fortitude: (19)+7: 26 GAME: Lysos rolls fortitude: (3)+3: 6 <OOC> Whirlpool says, "Ed, Sil and Lysos suffocate for a round!"
Immediately, several start suffocating.
GAME: Lysos rolls will: (17)+6: 23 <OOC> Whirlpool says, "You resist teh confusion and can act normally now!"
What does she want to do instead?
What does she want to do...
