Trapping More Than Fur - 39

[K Man]

Quick on her feet, Belle rushes for the exit. [Remember, Fatigued, can't run and movement is halved in Ice Storm So 30ft move] Her legs pump, but her body can't fuel them much longer. She gets as far as she can down the tunnel.

Tham realizes this battle may be lost. There was still an exit, far behind him, but the undead would give chase...even it was a slow and painful chase. [Turn Results = 21 HD turned, more than max. 2 more undead ogres, marked with orange] Tham holds his holy symbol on high, praying for the undead to be fearful of his god's wrath. He then begins stepping back...[Again, movement halved in Ice Storm]

The Dark Elf grins, knowing the battle is going well. She ignores the troublesome badger near her and focuses on the holy warrior. [Concentration Check to Avoid AoO @ +19, Ranged Touch @ +9]
[dice=20]
[dice=20]
[Results = 22 to avoid AoO (good) and 27 AC (good)] Again, the needle-like blast of brilliant light forms from her fingertips and sears straight through Loopmottin's armor. It cuts through him deep. [Damage Result = 23]
The woman then reaches down to a spot just under the arm of her throne. You hear and audible 'click' and then the sound of grinding stone. Farther down in the hallway, right about where Loop's mount smelled undead...a wall gives way. Behind it is another skeleton of large size. It shuffles into the hallway, reaching out for Belle.

You can see, behind this horrid monster is another room you did not see before...it's a series of jail cells! In them are dirty and squalid figures...peasants and townsfolk mostly. They wear nothing, save for filth-covered rags and sorrowful faces. They light up when they see someone in the hallway...a glimmer of hope.

The large skeletons continue to shuffle themselves into a corner, trying to escape Tham's holy power.

Loopmottin moves too, brushing between two larger undead as his tired legs pump him towards the throne and the remaining human wizard. [No AoO's, all undead in this area are turned. Remember Fatigue so no running.] He bases the wizard and glares at him, zealotry in full effect.

Loop's mount lays into the Dark Elf, trying to bring her down. [One Claw attack struck, others are misses. Damage Result = 6] Gnibbles manages one good claw, ripping it through her ebony thigh.

Caatrah manages another stout blow to the undead Ogre near him, knocking one of its kneecaps free. [Damage Result = 12 (After DR)] The Ogre turns from Caatrah, fleeing from Tham's power. [Current HP = 14/55]

The wizard goes next, glaring down at the small and annoying Halfling in his face. He moves off the throne and through his undead minions. [Eats the AoO @ +19]
[dice=20]
[Results = 36, Damage Results = 1 + 5 + 13 + 5 (Smite) = 24] The wizard grunts at the pain, but continues to move through the undead Ogres and gains a clear shot as his goal...Belle. He weaves and twists his arms, seeming to pull frost from the air. [Concentration Check @ +21 vs. DC 34, Need 13 or better]
[dice=20]
[35! Woohoo!] His spell goes off as he shakes the damage he's taken. Suddenly, a gale force of cold icy air blasts from his hands and sticks to the walls behind Belle. In a matter of second, the cie grows so thick and so fast that the exit closes off completely...sealed behind in ice...[Wall of Ice to seal exit.]
As though to add insult, the man mocks.


"Your arrogance will undo you all..."

The huge skeleton continue to shuffle itself into a corner.

Hildigunn drinks a potion, trying to keep herself from bleeding out. [Heal 3 HP]

The large undead act. Those still fearful of Tham shuffle away, their jerky limbs pulling them farther and farther. The only one capable of striking at Loop does so. [Attack @ + 9]
[dice=20]
[Results = 24, Damage Results = 18] The club swings around hard, smacking the wind out of Loopmottin.

This fight is not going well...

[glow=forestgreen,2,300]This battle was truly over and it wasn't looking pretty..

Tham takes no other action except to interpose himself between Belle and the skeleton before her.

(If it's not a skeleton in that corridor then he'll just stand in front of her to block the wizard's line of sight to her as best he can.)

"I will surrender," Tham says. "Now please, let me see to my companions." he motions for Hildigunn to move toward him.[/glow]

[Wicksy]

In response to Tham's cries of surrender, Caatrah hoists is sword over his shoulder and looks at the cleric. "Now we quit? Good, me not feel so good. Tired. Weak. Cant think!"

He smiles at at the elf woman and calls to her "OK, we quit now, what you want?"

[Japic]

At Tham's wave Hildi makes her way to his side (assuming it would not endanger her life to do so.) She should be able to move, but naught else. She drag her maul behind her as she moves; so that it is in her hand if she needs it.

(stuoopit disabled barbarian)

[Lin]

Seeing the wall of ice in front of her and the skeleton to her side, Belle decides to cower. Her normally sharp mind would have normally been able think of a plan, cast a spell or commented on the inappropriateness of the comments made, but the only thing that comes to mind is to cower and cover up.

[Full Defense, AC 29]

[chunker]

Gnibbles sees only red. He claws and bites for more.

[chunker]

Loopmottin decides to keep his mouth shut, holding back disgust and fury from his tongue at least. Being small had often given him the benefit of being ignored. He ducks carefully under the zombie's limbs and lays into the dark woman with the tenacity of his mighty badger.

Total damage from Loop = 68 if AC 19 or less (if he lives to deal it)]
{You guys should have fought instead of becoming prisoner/slaves... These guys were on their last HP too... Enjoy!}

[TheZebraShakes™]

Yes, fight with my +4/-1 to hit and d8-1 damage. It's all Tham. WOO!.

I'll take slavery thank you very much.

[Wicksy]

Caatrah needs to be up there, but with an intelligence rivalling that of dirt, he cant see sense enough. Now if someone had explained the problem with the rings, things may be different

Anyway, it doesnt matter, if you drop the woman, those undead will be out of it (hopefully) and Caatrah will steam in and finish the job.
