"Edgy, combo attack."

Standard action: Spirit Infusion for Dredge to attack first, which fails.
Minor action: Spirit of Athas to I-2, elevation 1.
Move action: To F-4.

Dredge's bloodlust increases after seeing the dragonshield fall. Then he grows even stronger through Ves's channel, but completely misses his mark. Not happy with that, he viciously swings his scourge again, leaving his foe as a disfigured mess of flesh. Once the pact with his patron has been resealed, he becomes ghost-like and walks through the statue into the darkness.
Activate revenant stuff when dragonshield died.
Spirit infusion: miss

Ves dismisses her spirit, and uses its residual energy to infuse Dredge for a destructive attack. Dredge's flail swings wild, however, and its claws clatter uselessly against the statue. Unsatisfied with this outcome, she calls upon the power of nature to summon a different primal spirit to ward her allies from harm, even as she advances forward.

The sound of rustling leaves fills the immediate area as a wispy spirit manifests above Kadol. Soon the form is encased in tough black bark, and wearing a cape of leaves. Its head takes the shape of a ram, and it hovers dutifully in place, giving a small boon to Kadol and Dasein.

Dredge allows his anger to get the better of him, and her siphons the power of the dead quickblade to empower his weapon. With a wide sweep, he swings his scourge at the dragonshield, its bony segments spreading like a hand to catch the kobold. The tails wrap themselves around the creature fully and squeeze, ravenously drinking away its life force. With the revenant's dark power, the blow ends up crushing the creature, armor and all, into a pile of gore. As its spirit departs, he mentally grabs a hold of it and lets it lead him halfway between this world and the next before letting go, leaving him almost ghostlike in appearance and ability. He puts this to use to walk through the statue and stand by Folgore. Though no others present can see it, Dredge sees the soul of the departed dragonshield consumed by a towering spider creature, like a fly caught in a web.

The wyrmpriest screams out a blasphemic utterance that invigorates its ally before letting out a horrifying shriek. Fulgore is caught directly in the blast and is left barely conscious, while Dredge hardly feels a thing. It seems content to stay put for whatever reason.

Ves grants Dredge an attack with Spirit Infusion, but it fails to hit; her spirit companion disappears

The half-elf druid quickly conjures another air spirit, this one lifting the lit torch into the air as he brings his staff down, thunder crackling around the weapon as he does so. Meanwhile, the air spirit glides across the room, carrying the torch as it does so.

Minor Action: Use air spirit. Air spirit picks up torch. Summon it into his own square.
Standard Action: Grasping staff with both hands, use mark of thunder against the dragonshield, 16 vs. AC for 6 damage. Even if it misses, the target is marked by the druid and takes 5 thunder damage the next time it makes an attack that doesn't include the druid.
Move Action: Move the air spirit to E-1, holding the torch.

Summoning another air spirit to carry the torch, Dasein frees his other hand so he can wield the staff with both. He brings his staff down on the dragonshield, but it is able to block him at the last second. Primal magic lingers from the hit, threatening harm if the kobold tries attacking anyone else. With the entire battlefield illuminated, the wyrmpriest is revealed to the whole party.

As Fulgore readies a swing, something seizes his mind and sends him stumbling backwards before he realizes what happened, putting him out of reach of the wyrmpriest.

Ready to finish things off at this end, Kadol twirls her hammer in one hand before grasping it firmly and bringing it down upon the fallen reptile in a crushing manner. After making certain the creature wouldn't put up any more trouble, she advances forward, moving up behind one of her very suspicious "allies."

Standard Action: Use weight of earth against the dragonshield 1, 19 to hit for 15 damage. http://orokos.com/roll/162758
Move Action: Move to D-2 to flank Dredge

The wounded dragonshield brings up its shield to block Kadol's latest attack, and succeeds. In catching the attack with its shield. Which is hit with enough force to smash into its head and remove it from the world of the living. With that enemy taken care of, Kadol moves up to take care of the last remaining foe.

That was close. What kind of magic are they using?

As her rain spirit handles the healing, Ves walks up to to the remaining enemy, and proceeds to mercilessly dehydrate it with her free hand, leaving the wyrmpriest rather wilted.

Minor action: SC to C-3, elevation 1.
Minor action: Healing Spirit. Fulgore spends a surge, and Kadol heals for 1d6. http://orokos.com/roll/162829
Standard action: I'll charge the Wyrmpriest with Corrupting Touch to C-4. It's necrotic damage, and the Wyrmpriest is vulnerable 1 to all damage until EoNT. http://orokos.com/roll/162827
No action: Stolen Years, to weaken (save ends) the hit target and gain a surge.

Ves conjures her rain spirit once more, bringing cleansing rain to wash away the pain. Fulgore and Kadol are healed, though Fulgore still teeters close to death. Ves floats toward the remaining enemy and plunges her free hand into its chest. For an instant, the creature is little more than skin and bones, old, gray, and rotting, before it returns to its natural state, desiccated and almost dead. Ves takes the energy for herself. Her nature spirit, unable to sustain itself without her proximity, grows brown and brittle as its master abandons it. It lets out a single mournful cry as it turns to ash and vanishes completely.

Dredge is overcome by visions of things he mercifully forgets immediately, and falls back.

Still ghost-like, Dredge moves to the north wall and reappears behind the Wyrmpriest. "Good night" the Revenant mutters, while pushing his foe next to the Minotaur.

Move to A-4 while provoking no OA.

Dredge takes advantage of his distance from the wyrmpriest to circle around it through the northern wall. Emerging from behind, the revenant swings his weapon, terrible claws biting into his enemy before it can react to his presence. This proves to be too much for it, and the wyrmpriest crumples to the ground as it is flung a few feet away. Out of habit, Dredge steps between the worlds of living and dead for a moment as he sees his patron feast on the bounty of souls he has offered. The bloodlust his weapon held is sated... for now.

You have reached a milestone and gain one action point!

Kadol lets out a breath and stows away her hammer. Dasein lets his air spirit disperse and takes the torch in his hand again, moving up with the rest of the party.

Both take short rest. Kadol spends one healing surge.

Dredge first tries to calm down, slaying too many creatures is never too good for his own sanity. He makes his scourge disappear and sits down to rest, even though he isn't hurt.

"You're tough" he says to the barbarian.
Short rest. No healing because surge jew.

>>4706
"Big, tough, strong! No weak like little kobold!"

Fulgore turns and eyes the dead Wyrmpriest, withdraws his hacksaw and hacks off the kobolds head. He then severs a hole straight through it (by some means or another) before tying some rope through it and donning it as a necklace type thing.

Also spend 3 surges

Trying not to pay attention to the minotaur's rather disgusting habits, Kadol moves north and to the east, saying, "Guess we know tha inhabitants be 'ostile 'ere. Be on yer guard, everyone."

Dasein follows behined with the torch in his hand, hoping to reveal more of the room.

"...Did you really have to do that?"
Follow Kadol

Fulgore severs the head of his hated foe and is able to rig a macabre necklace with it easily enough. Falling from its neck is a necklace of semiprecious gems worth 80 gp. Kadol moves up with Dasein providing lighting, and encounters a thick set of wooden doors in front of them. They don't appear to have any sort of lock on them.

Ves and Dasein (perception) : With the chaos of battle no longer distracting you, you notice scuff marks on the floor of the north-west corner of the room consistent with an opened door.

Drasein walks over to the wooden doors and inspects them for traps.

Perception: http://orokos.com/roll/163679 (26)

>>4711
Dasein : You do not detect any traps on the door, but you do hear a lot of movement on the other side.

>>4710
"Ooh shiny, me take."

Take the necklace and follow the rest of the group

Dasein walks over to the supsicious scruff marks on the ground and searches the wall.

Perception: http://orokos.com/roll/163742 (15)

>>4714
Dasein : You can see a small gap under the corner wall. There are a few inconsistencies with the bricks on the wall with its neighbors as well. You can't see what's on the other side through the opening, though.

Dasein informs the others about the noise behind the first door.

"Hey horns, lemme take point first when we go through," Kadol offers, trying to examine the architecture of the ruins and see if she can get any feel for it.

Dungeoneering: http://orokos.com/roll/163788 (15) - try to recognize and examine the architecture, particularly to see if I think it's dwarven in make

>>4716
Kadol (dungeoneering : This is a set of heavy wooden doors. All craftsdwarfship is of highest quality. It is encircled with bands of stone. This object menaces with spikes of obsidian set in the stone bands. On the item is an engraving of a dwarf and a human. The dwarf is laughing. The human is skewered by a spear.

>>4716
"Horn? Point? No under- I horns! Little man go first, take time, no sneaky kobold this time!"

Fulgore moves behind Kadol whilst she's examining the door.

Dasein alerts his companions to the suspicious wall.

Dredge silently inspects the wall as well.
Perception (17) http://orokos.com/roll/163823

>>4720
Dredge : You see the same things that Dasein sees, plus what looks like a small opening for a handle or key of some kind.

"There's some sort of keyhole here" Dregde points out. "One of them must have a key for it."

Dredge now inspects the corpses looking for a key, starting with the Wyrmpriest.

>>4722
Dredge inspects the bodies to the best of his ability, but he doesn't find anything that would fit in the slot. They don't appear to be carrying anything of interest, either.

Kadol grunts at Dredge's continued failure to open the wall up, and pulls out a flask of broy and downs it in one gulp. She remains standing near the wooden door in case of trouble.

"...I could open it if I had some tools. Wanna try breaking through it tough guy?"

>>4725
"Why do you not have tools for this?"

I'll look through the wall.

>>4726
Ves is unimpeded by the wall and easily phases through it, emerging in a hidden room nearby. The area is mostly bare, save for the obvious : a pair of skeletons strewn on the floor - one male human, one female elf - clutching each other's hand. It's very likely they died this way, though there's not enough of them left to determine cause of death. Time, and most likely vermin, has eroded any identifying clothing away, leaving nothing behind but pale yellow bone.

More importantly, both of them are carrying simple stone amulets, both of which are enchanted as +1 amulets of protection.

There aren't any hidden switches, levers, or the like that Ves is able to see.

>>4727
lewd Ves returns to the group and mentions a couple corpses inside.

>>4725
"Have tool, no need break."

Fulgore goes over to the door, reveals a crowbar and attempts to pry it open.

>>4730
Fulgore pries the edges with his crowbar and his awesome physique. The wall resists, but is soon thrown open, revealing the hidden cache Ves indicated!

Dredge enters the room and inspects the amulets.

"This looks good. Who's keeping em?"

After she makes sure that nothing is going to momentarily bust through the door, Kadol walks into the room and examines the amulets. "Looks useful," she says, taking one of the amulets and then walking back towards the wooden door.

Dredge looks again at the brute who opened the door and offers him the remaining amulet.

"There you go. Gonna look great with the kobold head."

>>4734
"Look good! Me wear, look like king!"

Ves tries to ignore the heartless looters and looks into the other door. Stealth take 10 if possible.

Ves slips through the door easily enough and takes a peek through to the other side. Sure enough, there are enemies inside the next room - at least eight kobold tunnelers - their heads swollen and pulsing. There are several dried bloodstains on the floor, leading to an area where the blood and viscera are still fresh on the floor - something happened there very recently. In any case, Ves notes the small openings in the ground in those areas, and several others scattered around the room, and a suspicious box above a fountain filled with foul water. There's a bearskin rug to the south, but it doesn't seem particularly interesting compared to the sounds of heavy breathing coming from somewhere she can't identify.

The kobolds seem to hear something that Ves cannot, and start to turn towards her position. Now is a good time to withdraw.

>>4738
'8 tunnelers and something else. You should watch out for small openings in the floor,' whispers the Ghost Sound as Ves retreats for a moment.

"That bastard will be pleased."
"Who goes first?"

Kadol readies her hammer and shield, saying, "Ah'll take tha lead." If there are no immediate objections, she will then open the door, before the kobolds have time to prepare themselves.

summon scourge again
