Attack The Darkness
 

Styg leaves the small cells after seeing nothing in them worth the time or effort he had put into the search. He looks around and notices that John and Jared seem to have wandered off again. Vicky and Turag are a little down the hallway they came from still. They seem to be talking. Perhaps Vicky is starting to help the timid Turag come out of his shell - not the Styg fully trusts the orc yet. He then notices Richard looking down a hallway and Guan having some problems with the door to the north. This is also the first time that Styg notices the door in the western wall, not far from Guan. It too is slightly open, but Styg decides to move up and try to give Guan a hand with the stuck door. He briefly thinks about moving back towards Vicky, to help protect her and the Winds of Change, but decides that she isn't so far away that he can't get to her quickly enough.

As Styg approaches the stuck door, he hears John down the hallway encouraging Jared to sing or hum again. He can't help but reflect back to the constant abuse he received from the revenant for his own talking while venturing down the tunnels. He wonders why it is suddenly acceptable for Jared to purposely cause a ruckus, but he wasn't allowed to even speak. Styg tests the door and notices that the wreckage in the room has wedged the door shut - the same conclusion ZhuGuan had come to.

Styg decides that brute force is what it is going to take. He had heard John mention something about the possibility of someone else hiding in the room, perhaps holding the door. It seems too solid for that, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. He looks to Guan as if to say "prepare for the worst", but the large half-elf just rolls his eyes at Styg. He doesn't expect to find anyone or anything in the room. ZhuGuan Yu steps out of the way a bit so that Styg can give it a good and powerful shove.

Styg follows the door into the room as he pushes the restraining rubble out of the way. He looks around the large room. ZhuGuan waits, expecting a trap to go off or something large to eat Styg. Rubble and dust cover the floor of this room anywhere from ankle- to knee-deep. Movement in this room is not comfortable, easy or safe. This room also seems to have suffered greatly from the tremor the group felt earlier, or from tremors from before the group entered the dungeon.

ZhuGuan Yu is about to move back over to the door to look in and see if a grue has eaten Styg yet, but then he notices the door in the western wall open up all the way. On the other side of the door is a darkmantle. The lights grow dim, as is normal with these creatures, and Guan realizes that they are at least smart enough to push open a door that is already partially opened. Perhaps they are even smart enough to use their tentacles to manipulate a closed door... maybe that is the reason nearly all the doors in the region have been opened at least a little. He also can't help but notice that this darkmantle looks a little more muscular and tough than the last group did, but not as bad as the giant one that they had fought alongside Jack Fox. Perhaps this one has been eating better recently.

Then more start to flood out from the room, apparently attracted by the noise made when Styg forced open the door to the north. One flies out, getting close to Styg, Guan and Richard. It let's out a thunderous shriek. Richard is slightly resitant to it, but there seems to be an extra burst of necrotic energy that strikes him with the dazing scream. Guan seems completely unaffected, but Styg is also hurt. After shrieking it starts to try to attack Guan, but when it notices that Guan wasn't affected it backs off and almost looks frightened of the half-elf.

The other darkmantle toughs begin flying out of the room. Several of them move towards Guan and his group, while three others speed down the hallway towards John and Jared. The first one to get there screams out, but both men resist the sonic attack. Then another approaches and screams as well. While Jared is unaffected, John suffers from the shriek

The sudden shrieks alert Vicky and Turag to the sudden attacks. They know before they even see the creatures that the group is battling more darkmantles.

Please forgive me, but my right arm is so weak, that it takes me A LOT longer to type anything these days....

As far as Monster Knowledge goes, there is no difference between these darkmantles and the last group you fought, except that these are a higher level. So no checks are needed. All of them currently have their darkjumps charged, so if you hit a creature and it doesn't die from your attack, it will vanish from sight. Please read everyone else's attacks before posting yours and keep this teleporting in mind.

Darkmantle 4 has used up the Critical Fumble for the monsters for this combat.

Turag and Vicky are the only ones not in dim light, but of course they still have the penalties attacking into dim light. Unless you have Low-Light or Darkvision, you will have a -2 penalty to attacking creatures inside it.

Vicky springs into action at the now familiar shriek from the darkmantle. She rounds the corner just in time to see one of them get struck and disappear. She looks around, worried that one or more of them will pop up next to her. For the moment, the only one she can spot close is Turag.

"Turag, we need to get closer to the others, so we're not surrounded here alone by these creatures," she calls out to the orc. After moving as close as she dares, she unleashes a mental attack at the closest one.

Move: DC65.

Standard: Mind Lock vs Darkmantle 4. I choose to attack that one despite its full defense because of Richard's and ZhuGuan's positions. Basically, DM4 is currently blocking Richard from attacking. Since it is doing full defense, I subtract another -2 from the attack roll.

The perfection of Jared's spell has opened a secret chamber woven into the vast, arcane vortex that is all magic. The opening resembles a long drawer surrounded by nothingness. The drawer holds a stock of similar armaments, as if from a set. Jared glimpses a robe, white gloves and a hemp belt. It looks as if there was a spot for something else there as well, but it seems to be missing. He has time to reach in and grab one of the three items before the drawer slides closed with the rift. Looking around, it doesn't seem like anyone else can see this strange rift. He then remembers John describing something similar happening before, but these items don't appear to be etched with runes like his pauldrons were.

The darkmantles he and John hit have all vanished, freeing up their end of the hallway.

Jared scored a critical hit on DM 5. The results are included here in the above text.

Jared has used up the Critical Hit for the heroes for this battle.



Also, John had entered his damage on Darkmantle 6 instead of 5, so I fixed that.

Styg hadn't entered his information on the tracker for Darkmantle 6, so I took care of that as well. Series0, if you would, please include your statistic bonus in with your roll. I almost missed the "4" when I entered damage this time. You can explain any bonuses after the roll if there is need to, but it makes it easier to read if it is all included.

Currently only DM 1 & DM 4 are visible, the rest have used their darkjump. We have Guan, Richard and Turag left to go for this round. And DM 4 does not have the total defense bonus yet, that gets added in next round (basically his Critical Fumble declared his action for the next round), but he does have the +4 to fear attacks made against him until his next turn (and don't forget, you guys all have 2 action points right now). So if you use Fear effects (like Jared does), they are the best person to go after DM 4 this turn.)
