Crucible of the Gods: The Army of Ruaches

The Ruach stone form becomes flesh once again. 

"Come to me..." she whispers as she teleports to appear just north of the eastern pit. At first you wonder if it's some kind of spell against you, but then you realize she's talking to the skeletons themselves. The skeletons emerge from the pits and take up positions very near, and even the skeleton archers from the west leap over the pit (at a narrow point) and make their way over to your location. She even summons another skeleton next to Tak-tha with her divine power, who's sword strikes Tak-tha in the arm.

Tech: One hit, 4 damage. Tak-tha is now at 16 hp/1 thp.

The skeletons ringing the eastern pit launch arrows down upon Arden, leaving the human mage nearly deadk - a bloody pincushion in the bone filled pit.
Tech: Seven bow attacks on Arden, five hits for 15 damage. Arden is KO at -3 hit points. Ashton got a free attack on one of the skeletons, but missed.

In an instant, the air about you is filled with
a whirlwind of spinning boomerangs.
Then the Ruach's eyes go pure white, and her scream shakes the foundations of the labyrinth. She beings to whirl and spin like a tornado, and suddenly all the skeletons do the same, turning into ghostly versions of her! In an instant, you are all engulfed by the army of Lyth Ruaches, the air filled with a thousand boomerangs.

OOC: PAUSE! The Ruach is firing up an encounter power against you. Targets are all crusaders except Nevdor. Anyone who hasn't boasted yet may attempt to do so, if you wish. 

Ashton, I assume you will perform the Firedeath encounter power? NOTE: The Ruach has Divine Prescience, which means that all immediate interrupts you attempt on her are considered to be immediate reactions instead. If Ashton is knocked out by the initial damage, he will not be able to perform the Firedeath. If he survives the initial damage, his Firedeath will kick in and reduce the damage as per the power. Anyone killed by the pre-Firedeath damage is dead regardless.

I will continue this attack after I've heard from all of you, or tomorrow morning (whichever comes first). Good Luck! -MilwaukeeJoe

  1. OOC: You can boast if you haven't done so yet this encounter, and you haven't failed that god's boast yet. Example: If you tried a boast to Kishar and failed in a previous combat, you cannot boast to him again. But, you can boast to Lyth.

    His hair and fur dancing wildly in the sudden malestrom, the ranger digs deep within himself and braces against the coming storm. His words whipped away by the gale-force winds, he shouts into the thundering storm of metal and divine retribution.

    "Lyth! I shall bear the blows of your vengeance and remain standing! I am your child, your beast, your servant and your strength flows through my veins! I shall not falter under your gaze, and my spirit shall remain unfazed by your good grace and guidance!"

    He braces against the wall to the east and awaits his punishment eagerly.

    Tech: Free action, Boast of Lyth

    Gritting his teeth and clutching his sword, Ashton focuses all his energy on protecting everyone by absorbing and dissipating the energy of the boomerangs!

    OOC: there's nothing to lose by using Firedeath, so yeah. And obviously not using Lyth's boast since Kishar's has alreade been invoked. That Prescience thing sucks - I hope I can still fire off my daily!

  5. OOC: In the last main post, Tak-tha's player mentioned performing the Lyth boast if possible (to possibly gain an action point and the temp hp). Therefore, if I don't hear from Tak-tha, I will assume he does the boast.

  6. OOC: Not boasting, fingers crossed!
