(Kay can, but heal yourself if you can. Normally characters get knocked into the Dying range and have a few rounds, but Cealia is so close to the negative HP's she might be outright killed)

"Kay.. help!" She screams as loud as she can.
She decides to cast Obscuring Mist while being defensive. She prays that she'll live through this.

(Cealia dropped her wand. She'd have to pick it up. A risky move considering the Broken Spirit is right beside her and attacking)

(Yes, it will draw an Atk. of Opps. You'd have to step away from the BS with a 5 ft. step, then grab the wand to be safe, but that would use up your entire turn, and you'd still be open to attack. You could try Tumbling and still have time to use your wand, but you don't have any ranks in Tumble, so it won't be the best roll, and the BS has a warrior's attack bonus so you'll be screwed if you get a bad roll. If you had a healing spell, you could just use that.
What's worse, Kay would still have to climb up the dome and come through the hole, and that's assuming he doesn't fail his Climb check.
This is normally the part where I give newer players some advice, but what happens next hinges on more experienced players. Best I can suggest for Cealia is to go Total Defense and hope if she does get hit, the attack doesn't kill her)

(did i also drop my shield? cause i could go total defense with it. what if i cast obscuring mist, would he not be able to see me then, and not know where to attack?
nevermind, BS has to be beyond 5 ft for it to work...and as you said he's right on me?)

(Obscuring Mist could work, although note all it does is give him a 20% chance to miss)

Eadbald will move and grab his items and the CLW wand, equip the shield, and use the CLW wand on Cealia. At least two charges (three if bad rolls) should be used. (I don' t know what options I can use with my shield, but use it as defensively as possible )

Xelander continues using the crossbow on the defender and offers Key a CLW potion (or 2) if needed.

He misses and loses another bolt. He tosses a CLW potion to Kay on his Move action. The defender tries to grab it but misses horribly. -Broken Spirit tries to touch-freeze Cealia again. Cealia just barely dodges the attack. -Cealia takes a step away from the Broken Spirit before casting Obscuring Mist. The sunken chamber is filled with a dense mist. -Kay whacks the defender, but hits only armour. He catches Xelander's potion. -Defender keeps trying to climb ice to reach Xelander. It's all butterfingers. -Eadbald picks up all of his gear and Cealia's wand, but he has no idea how to use the wand. The dwarven ancestor whacks the Broken spirit good (-10 HP). The Broken Spirit, now clearly pissed off, begins channeling some kind of spell. The room suddenly feels a whole lot colder. The remainding defender also suddenly disappears in a puff of mist.

Eadbald will hand the wand to Cealia, then wield his waraxe again. He will try to attack the spirit once again, flanking if possible.

Cealia will grab the wand from Eadbald and use it on herself a couple of times.

Xelander looks around cautiously, seeing that the defender is gone, as he makes his way to the hole where Ed and Cea fell through. "You ok over there, Kay?" He waits where he is not wanting to leave Kay alone topside.

[glow=red,6,300]UPDATE[/glow] **************
CHALLENGE BATTLE-Init:
*Spirits act on your turn.
Xelander: 11 BROKEN SPIRIT: 10, -63 HP Cealia: 9 Kay: 6 Eadbald: 2
COMBAT: =======
*Another quick update, but this is because I have to go soon and this fight needs a quicker resolution.
-Xelander yells to Cealia and Eadbald, but they're much too focused on the Broken Spirit to respond. Kay seems fine.
-The Broken Spirit channels a spell. This would have drawn an Atk. of Opps. from Cealia, but she is currently on the defensive. Everyone near the Broken Spirit suddenly feels numbingly cold. Eadbald and Cealia take the hint and move away from the Broken Spirit, but Xelander takes the worst (-4 HP, 2 on save).
-Cealia falls.
-It appears that's not the worst of it either. Bolts of ice suddenly fling out in all directions. Eadbald rolls with the damage, but Cealia take a hit (-7 HP, 3 on save).
-Kay scrambles to the hole. He slips.
-Eadbald attacks, but misses.
The wolf hound suddenly appears from the northern section of the chamber. It growls, and the Broken Spirit jumps.
"NO! That's impossible! You...you died! I killed you myself. No! It's that cursed hound," the Broken Spirit yells before running towards the edge of the chamber. The wolfhound chases the spirit and pounces on his back, but the lithe warrior spirit manages to shake the wolfhound off while only taking minor injuries. The two disappear through the northeast wall.
[glow=blue,2,300]VICTORY!!![/glow]
EXP: +2000 for all (would have been more if the fight was finished quicker)
Treasure found within the Broken Spirit's sarcophagus:
WHISTLING DAGGER: This Thundering Dagger +1 creates a loud humming noise as it cuts through the air.
RING OF PROTECTION +1: This golden ring appears to envelop you in a powerful protective aura.
GLAMOURED LEATHER ARMOUR +2: It appears to be a plain set of leather armour, but close examination proves it is anything but. The armour magically alters its shape to look like a mundane set of clothing. No doubt the Broken Spirit's tattered clothes were actually a durable set of magical armour.
BLOODIED SCYTHE OF THE HIGHBORNE: Not actually a scythe, this +1 Scimitar is clearly tuned to deal extra damage to a specific creature type. It seems to hum whenever Kay gets near it.
**Also don't forget all the jewelry worn by the skeleton.
Xelander throws down another potion for Eadbald to use on Cealia while Kay drinks his. It takes two to wake Cealia.
While reaching for his potions, Xelander notices he only has 2 bolts left.

[glow=blue,6,300]UPDATE[/glow] *************
The party begins working out a way to get Cealia and Eadbald out of the sunken chamber. They eventually figure something out, and the party returns to figuring out which door to explore.
A few moments after that, the spiritual wolfhound appears, as does Torryn's spiritual manifestation.
Kay pats the head of the wolfhound. "You're not a normal spirit guardian, are you?"
The three doors are as follows: the left marked with a pair of crossed weapons, the north a mortar and pestle, and the right a boat.

Eadbald will collect the items (including jewelry) before leaving, and drink the potion. He will Search for anything else of value in the dome.
He will offer the leather armor and scimitar to Cealia. He asks her and Kay to try and figure out why it hums. He offers the dagger to Xelander, and checks to see if he can wear the ring (I always forget what will stack with what).
Eadbald asks Kay which door he thinks it is, also directed at the wolfhound. If neither of them know, he'll try the middle one (mortar).

Cealia uses her CLW wand on herself before they continue on. She'll take the armor and scimitar from Eadbald.
"Thanks.. I think we should follow the wolfhound whereever he tends to go. Especially after that incident with the spirit."

Kay studies the scimitar for a moment. "Hmm...the tribes that destroyed the home of the mountain kings eventually formed the empire, so I suspect this blade has been honed to destroy anyone related to that tribal line. In other words, it has been attuned to kill everyone with imperial blood, like me."
Kay gives Cealia a nervous look. "Whatever you do, don't hit me with it, not even by accident. I don't want to think about what this sword can do."

Xelander takes the dagger. (does the sound of the dagger wizzing through the air *snicker* do anything special like cause a distraction to certain creatures or something?) "The cat spirit, which I now dub thee Catattack, seems to want to go through the door with the boat on it. Why dont we try that one?"

Post by cealia on Sept 28, 2007 14:58:10 GMT -5
"We'll just keep this scimitar out of service unless we absolutely need it if we get attacked by someone from the imperial line. I'll use my other scimitar the rest of the time."
Cealia tucks it away carefully. "Just don't accidentally, touch it or bump into it or something. When we leave here, we should wrap it up real good and I'll put it in one of Torryn's saddlebags."

(No, the dagger deals significant extra damage on a critical hit)
(One for the boat, the other for the mortar...final decision?) * * * * *
Cealia uses her wand on herself. Not such a great heal (+4 HP). More is needed.
Kay uses a spell on Eadbald. The weight of his weapons suddenly eases up (+2 STR).
