Droskar's Crucible

[DM Dread]

Toryn slid the doors open and saw the emaciated forms of what could only be some form of undead. Sharp pointed teeth of a carnivore and long sharp nails dominated their hands Their heads whipped towards him and Arielle and hunger was apparent on their faces....

[Larz Oathtaker]

Larz stands beside Dundero ready for what ever comes into view upon sighting the first Ghoul Come down the hall Larz sends a beam of positive energy into the undead creature.

[Toryn Togglebit]

Just once Toryn would have liked to open a door and find a buxom young gnomish lady wearing nothing but potato peels waiting for him on the other side. But no, it had to be more monsters with poor hygienic habits. Well, such was the life of a hero after all.

Oh uh..pardon the intrusion! Toryn initiated the tried and true grand strategy of "shutting the door" before taking half a step back and readying his blade to stab the first thing that tried to leave the room. There is indeed trouble in there! The gnome called out to his friends.

Action 1: Close Door
Action 2+3: Readied Action (Strike the first ghoul who opens the door) Readied Strike: 1d20+8 15

[Dunndero]

Dunndero stands at the corner of the junction, and notes that Toryn and Arielle are up by the door still creating a choke point for the ghouls preventing them from moving into the parties ambush, and shouts a warning to them both, "Ya guys needing to be pulling back! So's we can spring our ambush on the ghoulish, move back so dey ain't pilin up on you there, an Toryn adjust your stance a bit to the left to make your strike a little more accurate an to make yer self harder to hit!". Dunndero then holds his position so he can bring the hurt to the first ghoul to reach him in melee.

Actions:
1. Assist Action: DC Flat Check =[1d20]=12
2. Readied Attack Action: Attack first ghoul to reach him at the junction.
Glintaxe (Battleaxe +1) Attack = [1d20+11]=10+11=21 (Hit!), Glintaxe (Battleaxe +1) Damage =[1d8+5]=8+5=13 Damage.
3. Readied 2nd Attack Action: 2nd Glintaxe (Battleaxe +1) Attack =[1d20+6]=18+6=24 (Hit!), Glintaxe (Battleaxe +1) Damage =[1d8+5]=1+5=6 Damage.

[Kallista]

Not exactly sure what everyone was yammering about, considering she didn't the creatures in question prior to Toryn to shutting the door and saying something about trouble, she moved down the hallway toward her friend and positioned herself near him providing as much aid in shielding him, even as she raised her blade to to strike.

Action 1; Stride
Action 2: Shield Raised
Action 3: Retributive Strike against anything melee attacking Toryn.

[Satoru Hanzo]

Satoru saw it through Arielle’s eyes.  Hers widen and she takes a few steps back to allow the more powerful Kallista to slip by.  Then, she waits for the first opportunity to try something new.

[[Actions:
Arielle takes a step back and waits.  Im not sure if either of those would constitute an action.  If they do, she’ll just ready a Demoralize action on the nearest ghoul.]]

[Oriana Bronzeguard]

Oriana keeps her shield up and summon's an icy cold torrent of water at whatever "trouble" comes through the door Toryn had quickly closed.

Actions:
1st: Raise Shield
2nd & 3rd: Elemental Blast (cold) 1d20+8=15 Miss.

[Lucian]

Lucian refocuses his shield and sends a telekinetic bullet into the first enemy to show itself. 

(Action 1 - Maintains shield, +1 AC, Shield Block 5 Reaction)
(Action 2 & 3 - Telekinetic Projectile at any enemy standing in view on his initiative.)

Spell Attack Check: 1d20+8 = 22

[Brilliant Breeze]

Breezy holds his action moving to be behind others where he can see the room. He holds an electric arc ready to zap anything that shows up.


Actions: 
1: Moving into position
2 & 3: Electric arc when a foe appears.

[DM Dread]

Dunndero looked at The doorway and saw Toryn reaching for the door while dropping into a stance and pulling his blade. He shouted instructions to Toryn on how to insure his chance of a successful strike and saw the gnome starting to adjust his positioning. Then adjusted his own position in case a ghoul passed by him.

Toryn shut the door and readied himself in case one of the ghouls opened the door. 

Breezy moved to where he could watched the door, and mentally prepared to cast a spell.

The closest Ghoul moved forward and grabbed the door and jerked it open in front of Toryn and the gnome struck him in the gut with his sword. and then Breezy sent a bolt of electricity bouncing along the floor until it reached the Ghoul The Ghoul saw the blue bolt coming and twisted to avoid most of it The bolt continued to the next Ghoul standing in what looked like a holding cell with an open gate. It too leapt and avoided the worst of the electrical spell.

The ghoul that opened the door then lashed out with a hand adorned with sharpened black nails at the gnome. Toryn leaned back as the Claws passed in the air where he had been.

A Ghoul stepped around the corner in front of Arielle and reached for her grabbing her arm and digging its nails into it . The Eidilon felt her body start to go rigid from the paralysis  and the ghoul drug her by the arm into the room, much to the parties dismay. ((look at the dice...lol they dont lie)) The other ghouls swarmed around the fallen fey. Pulling large chuncks of flesh from her body and eating it. They looked up with gleee as their hunger was only beginning to be sated. Suddenly the Eidilon disappeared and they all looked up.....All the while Satoru was grimacing and writhing in agony and suddenly he fell over unconscious. 

Larz could see the ghoul attacking Toryn and he said a small prayer to Trudd and a blast of white energy hit the Ghoul and it dissolved to a puddle of nothingness before the startled Gnome who stood aghast as Arielle was eaten before his eyes. He then gave his hammer a heft ready in case one came out towards him ((Keep your rolls Larz and Dunndero use them next round.))

As Larz could, Lucian could see one of the Ghouls who had been devouring the Eidilon, snap its head up and look back at the Gnome and he sent a piece of masonry rocketting towards it and it bounced off its head. It scowled and snarled. Lucian also kept his shield of force raised.

Oriana could see nothing but her Toryns gagging at what he watched and moved out next to Breezy and raised her shield. She could tell something had happened to Arielle because Satoru as laying in the hall blood oozing from his body 

Kallista raised her shield and moved to stand next to Toryn ready to defend...and saw the look of disgust? Horror? on her friends face and couldnt see Arielle anywhere. but could see the blood on the floor and the ghouls faces nearby....
