Forgotten Realms Pt1: The breaking of the Quivering Thumb

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-13 12:38am

Lazerus: Your body is suddenly wracked with horrid pain, and you scream out as blackness enevelops you. You lose contact with your body, and you fall through an endless black pit, claws tearing at your mind, ripping your mind away layer by layer, until your mind is nothing more than a naked husk. You hear a harsh but feminine voice whisper into your mind..
Loyal Lazerus. A pleasure...You know me, of course. Your penchant for magic has caught my attention...and surely you know my followers are..well...limited. It is time you cast away your pathetic Weave abilities..accept this power I give you. You would do well to obey me, servant.
You suddenly pop back into your body, standing in the same place and the instant before you left.

Feeling more than seeing the massive wave of magical energy that enveloped the werewolf... he also heard the scream and saw what only could be described as a shadow weave...nexus

"Sweet Mystra"

"Malkamar, our werewolf friend uses the shadow weave!"

Laz blinked, and then squinted.

He could still feel the weve, the fabric that granted him his powers, but now there was also somthing..........else. Somthing different, darker, somehow more sinister.

This is...........better.

--

In the midst of the battle, the giant weretiger grins, not a happy grin, not an evil grin, the kind of grin that makes people back away.

I cast circle of death.

Unholy energy erupts around you, and bolts of darkness writhe and lash out at a dozen slaves nearby, drawing their lifeforce out of their bodies and snapping it in half. 3 unlucky hobgoblins are also affected, killed slower, but no less completely.

"Oops."

I casts a quicked Major Image desinged to make myself looks scary with key placement of shadows. Shadow wings, make the claws look longer, use the audio components to make my voice sound scary, effectivly make myself look less like a giant weretiger and more like somthing that was summoned out of the abyss.

I turn to the hobgoblins and make and look scary for my first move action. ++intimidate check++

"Now, you die."

I cast chain lightning on the hobgoblins.

++How much of a plus does the illusion give me. You said just being a weretiger giant allready gives +10++

The hobgolblins freezein their tracks, and run screaming and whimpering into the night, while your chain lightning rips through their ranks.

The hobgoblins freeze when they hear your mighty voice, turn to face you, then promptly run off screaming in terror, while your chain lightning kills the few unfortunate enough to pause in their flight.

"By Mystra's grace, I stike at thee!" Astinius screamed in Celestial as he unleashed a Prismatic spray in blast form on the weretiger

Move equivalent is set for spell absorption

He shrugs it off easily as the twisting colors slide past him.

Fool, your pathetic tricks shall not save you."

I cast Dispel Magic.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-03-13 01:31am

The spell is absorbed and stored in my body as spellfire.

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-03-13 01:33am

++actually, it's not. DM? Your post.++

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-13 01:33am

Astinuis: You try desperately to pull in the magical energy hitting you, but your own absorbtion backfires and you are hit with a wave of energy. The spell continues past your defenses, but has no discernible effect on you.

"This should teach you"

He unleased Feeblemind as a spell-like ability

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-03-13 01:59am

I summon shar's blessing to allow me to pass the saving throw.

DUncan sees the magical battle being raged by who he thought were his friends. making a snap decisoon, he chose to side with the one he at least knew in person, and hurled a fireball at the large weretiger

The weretiger is scorched by the fireball only partially, having dived out of the way just in time.

Grrrrrr. You win this round, well played, until we meet again.

I take my two move actions and get the hell out of dodge.

With my standard action, now that i'm far enough away that counterspell will be difficult, I cast teleport.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-03-13 02:09am

I counterspell with Teleport, and cast feeblemind

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-13 02:13am

Lazerus: Your teleport has no effect, and suddenly you feel yourself grow stupid. The next moment, you're a blubbering vegetable.

Alyrium: The weretiger is stopped from teleporting, and your feeblemind succeeds,

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-13 02:24am

Suddenly, the ground trembles, and a horrid female voice speaks from all around. Fool, you have gotten yourself turned into a veggie by a pathetic WEAVE user? I shall save your rotten hide this time...
Lazerus suddenly regains his senses, and finds himself surrounded by gray stone walls.

"Direct divine intervention? For a weakling like you?"

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-03-13 02:29am

"I.......I have failed you goddes. My life is forfit, why have you shown me mercy?"

"You will pay for your failure, but I cannot simply throw such a mighty avatar away on something as petty as this. You are nothing but a tool, remember that, one that I need dearly...."

Could a mod please lock this thread, part one is over. (Sorry for all those who missed the battle, but there is another coming up soon, albeit smaller scale.)

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2004-03-13 08:30am

...And prepare for Part Two.
