Re: Adventure #9 - To Right the Wrongs

When Jeremiah tosses the second egg, the portal suddenly erupts, rapidly changing colors and leaking vaporous clouds of effervescence. Malabus "busts" like an egg, as magical energies erupt from his body and "spill" into the portal.

"It must be done," Mittens says. "I will be the next to go, but it has been honor working alongside the five of you!"

Only a moment later, as the energies calm down, and new monsters emerge from the portal. A mass of writhing, formless flesh covered in eyes and mouths, pours from the portal; surrounded by a swarm of glowing, teal-colored orbs of light. The amorphous flesh spreads across the floor, but floating lights scatter along the ceiling.

Elodie reaches into the pouch tied to her waist and pulls out a handful of ashes. Pursing her lips, she blows on the ashes, scattering them in the air. As the particles float away, they begin to swirl and assemble into a molten, fiery creature.

Jeremiah move to the mound of flesh and proceed to hack it to pieces...

7 + 31 = 38 | DMG: 16

Jeremiah springs forward and cleaves a chuck of flesh from the amorphous blob. Gumphrey follows suit and buries his dagger into another chunk of the monster. Elodie conjures forth a huge fiery being whose heat fills the room.

OOC: I'm calling that the "surprise" round. For Round 1, initiatives will be as follow ...

- Jeremiah, Gumphrey, and Elodie at 21, 19, and 14 (so go again).
- The Monsters at 13
- Talmut, Miphelgara, and Mittens at 11, 8, and 5

Elodie raises her wand again, both urging the elemental to attack and attempting to strike the monstrous blob with flame.

Again, Jeremiah and Gumphrey sink their weapons into amorphous mound of eyes and mouths, while Elodie blasts it with magical fire. Her elemental lunges forward, incinerating the blobby creature with its burning fists.

A few of the floating orbs crackle with electricity, sending thundering bolts at the heroes ... but the heroes deftly avoid the harmful charge. A few of the other orbs head zip toward the door, but Gumphrey and Jeremiah manage to destroy one as it flees. Two more make it the door.

- Gumphrey and Jeremiah dropped an orb with their opportunity attacks, but it took both of them striking the same one to bring it down. That means there are two at the door and two left in the room.

Having been thoroughly sliced into bits, the amorphous mound of mouths and eyes now appears to be two distinct creatures, slithering among the remains of its former body parts. The remaining mouths lunge at Talmut and Miphelgara ... but the wizard and the dragon manage to dodge the attacks.

Finally, Mittens and Talmut strike the last blobs with magical energies, destroying it entirely. "Quickly, after those two!" Talmut barks.

Mipehlgara transforms into a dragon and turns toward the door. "I think i can catch them! Who's coming with me?"

- Band of Four, you're up for the start of Round 2.

"I don't seem to be a help, when I attack them they multiply. Elodie you seem to be more effective against these enemies.."

"On it!" Elodie shouts in response to Jeremiah. She lunges toward the door as her body begins to dissipate, rising into a swirling vortex of destructive debris. She directs a furious whirlwind at the glowing orbs, attempting to trap them with her power.

Transform into Greater Air Elemental, give chase, use Whirlwind ability.

Elodie quickly overtakes the fleeing orbs, capturing them inside her spinning aerial body.

Gumphrey turns back to the orbs that remained behind and jabs one with his magical dagger. The orb's light dims and flickers when it is struck.

- OOC: Elodie has three trapped, but there are still three in the room. Jeremiah, I assume you are doing more than just speaking?

- OOC: After Jeremiah's turn, the orbs go, then the NPCs. All of the blobs have been destroyed (end of last round).

In the blink of an eye, Jeremiah's axe destroy two of the three orbs left in the room, leaving but one.

A moment later, that one disappears.

The three that Elodie has trapped try to escape, but they are unable to break free of her whirling winds.
Then, those three disappear, as well.

Mittens exclaims, "Oh no, you don't!" Slamming his fist into the ground, he creates a radiating wave of magical energies that causes all four of the vanished orbs to reappear.

Mipehlgara and Talmut team-up on the last orb in the room, slaying it with their acid and lightning.

The next few rounds ... only the three that Elodie has trapped remain, and they are taking continual damage as they are battered around inside the twister.

Several second later, the final three orbs are smashed to bits inside the whirlwind.

"Something else is coming!" Miphelgara shouts.

"Quickly," Talmut says. "the final egg!"

"Do it! There is no other way."

Alpha Omega Wed Jan 13, 2016 4:59 pm

Jeremiah will use the final egg...

Malazek Thu Jan 14, 2016 6:28 am

As before, when the egg hits the portal, Mittens breaks-open like an egg; his magical energies spilling into the portal and causing the swirling energies to pulsate and change color. As the last wisps of effervescent luminosity drift toward the portal, you hear his disembodied voice all around you. "We leave this world in your care, our dear friends, but we will return in 100 years."

And then, the portal closes. The world is saved.

Everything is as you left it, before your trip to a future that no longer exists.

"What next?" Gumphrey asks.

End Chapter.
