[SwordChucks]

If Hargrimm is adjacent to Paula, then he grants her 3d6 THP via Sparkling Alicorn. Else, he move adjacent before granting her THP.

If Hargrimm has not moved, he moves 20ft south into the main chamber.

Swift action: Invest 2 essentia from Sparkling Alicorn into Banelight Vortices.

THP: (3d6)[12]

R19T14: Hargrimm touches his horn to Paula (12 THP), and calls out to the others, "Double up in the nearest rooms so he has to deal with some of us anywhere he goes!"

His unicorn horn disappears, but the little lights around his shoulder reform.

R19T13.5: Zauberei, what do you do?

R19T13.2: Lexi, what do you do?

The Splatter Man on deck, Marius in the hole ...

[BuckGodot]

Feeling at his acme and hearing Hargrimms recommendation, Alexandru stays where he is, coiled like a coyote and ready to strike should their wily foe make the slightest meep. "Genius...", he mutters.

R19T13.2: Feeling at his acme and hearing Hargrimm's recommendation, Alexandru stays where he is, coiled like a coyote and ready to strike should their wily foe make the slightest meep. "Genius...", he mutters.

R19T13: The Splatter-Man appears 5' off the ground, coming out of the western call walls, right next to Zauberei and Hargrimm!

"Contact!" shouts Zauberei as he begins casting a spell, but The Splatter Man touches the Nethysian's casting wrist. Zauberei knows what to expect and is readied for it, but still takes 10 corruption. He still gets his spell off but misses.

The Splatter Man puts his hand through Hargrimm's head. The dwarf tries desperately to resist the ghost's power, only taking 15 corruption, and barely on his feet.

R19T12: Marius, what do you do?

Wren on deck, Paula in the hole ...

[Ason]

Marius shifts westward, glares hatefully at the ghostly prisoner, and lunges at the Splatter Man yet again with his luncerne hammer.

Spoiler: OoC

Show

5-Foot Step: 1 square west
Swift: use dark claim on the Splatter Man
Move: use studied combat on the Splatter Man (I'm not sure if the Splatter Man's ghostly nature negates this ability or not. This fight has also gone on irl so long it's possible Marius already used this feature on the Splatter Man, which if true would invalidate this action. I don't think he has, but I'm not 100% certain.)
Standard: risky strike at the Splatter Man attack (1d20+8)[22]; damage (1d12+3)[6]

AoE (if triggered by the Splatter Man): risky strike attack (1d20+8)[23]; damage (1d12+3)[9]

[lostsole31]

R19T12: Marius shifts westward, glares hatefully at the ghostly prisoner, and lunges at the Splatter Man yet again with his lucerne hammer, the top spike going through the ghost's head for 5 mod, learning that his studied combat is less about the creature and more about Marius' ability to adapt to his opponents.

R19T10: Wren gives first aid to Paula, then moves to the doorway but not beyond, else Lexi would be plunged into darkness.

End Round 19, Begin Round 20 ...

R20T15: Angelo, you have mage armor active, and a light on your sash. With one hand, you hold you masterwork thieves' tools, and with the other you hold an wand of CLW with a charge held on the tip. What do you do?

Hargrimm on deck, Alexandru in the hole ...

[Moriar]

Angelo puts away his tools and then swings the glowing wand at the splatterman.

Spoiler: just the tip

Show

MA to put away the thieves tools.

SA to swing the charged wand at splatterman.

To hit touch: (1d20+7)[22] and damage: (1d8+1)[3]

[lostsole31]

R20T15: Angelo focuses one-hand tying his tools back to his belt, but as he does so he leaves himself vulnerable as The Splatterman reaches down to put his cold, ghostly hand through Angelo's shoulder. Angelo noticed enough at the last minute to resist the effect, but still takes 14 corruption ... aging significantly. Hiissing in pain, Angelo swings the glowing wand and puts it through the ghost's face for 1 PE as the Splatter Man resists some of the radiant energy.

R20T14: Hargrimm ... your quarterstaff is on the ground to your northeast. You are "armed" with wand of lesser restoration & buckler. You have an akashic bond with every bipedal member of the party, with twice as much akasha given to Alexandru. What do you do?

Alexandru on deck, Zauberei in the hole ...

[lostsole31]

R20T14: Hargrimm steps to the northwest to flank the Splatter Man (dwarves have trouble understanding 3D concepts with the ghost 5' in the air), ignites his horn, and stabs the Splatter Man in the chest for 5 + 4 PE.

R20T13.2: Alexandru, you are armed with longsword and shield, suffering from 2 WIS damage, and your readied action did not go off. Your collective is still with Angelo, Hargrimm, Marius, & Zauberei. What do you do?

Zauberei on deck, The Splatter Man in the hole ...

(2d8+3)[10]

[lostsole31]

R20T13.1: Zauberei takes step back from the ghost and drinks his potion for 10 healing.

R20T13: The ghost snarls at Hargrimm's strike and Zauberei healing. He lowers his forehead to show all the fell symbol etched upon his ghostly head, and darkness erupts out of it again: Wren is overwhelmed for 13 NE; Marius and Zauberei are both overwhelmed for 10 NE; Angelo resists for 5 NE; Lexi and Hargrimm both resist for 4 NE, but it is enough to make Hargrimm fall, and the wand he was holding falls out of his grasp.

The Splatter Man ducks back through the wall immediately due east and out of sight.

R20T12: Marius, you have polearm in one hand and a sunrod in the other (not activated). You are suffering from 4 WIS damage. You currently are in the aura of misfortune stance and have studied combat (but not claim) on the Splatter Man (who is no longer in sight). What do you do?

Wren on deck, Angelo in the hole ...

[Ason]

Marius shuffles to the east slightly, activates his sunrod, and drops it to the ground. He then retrieves a potion of cure light wounds, holding it in one hand as he continues to menace the air with the polearm held in his other hand.

"He must be running low on resources soon, right?" Marius pants tiredly at his comrades.

R21T15: Angelo, what do you do?

Hargrimm on deck, Alexandru in the hole ...

"I sure hope he is running low," Angelo comments. "He sure is having a merry time leading this dance it seems."

Then Angelo reaches over and uses the wand on Hargrimm.

R21T15: "I sure hope he is running low," Angelo comments. "He sure is having a merry time leading this dance it seems." Then Angelo reaches over and uses the wand on Hargrimm for 2 healing, stopping the bleeding and stabilizing the comatose dwarf.

R21T13.2: Alexandru, your readied action never occurred. What do you do?

Zauberei on deck, The Splatter Man in the hole ...

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru moves over to the prone dwarf and keeping his weapon ready, reaches down and touches him, willing some of Hargrimms wounds to transfer to himself, grimacing with pain as he does so.

Spoiler: Technical Information

MA: Move SW 5' or far enough that he can lay hands on the dwarf

Empathic Transfer: (2d10)[11]

[lostsole31]

R21T13.2: Alexandru moves over to the prone dwarf. So as to keep his weapon ready he looses his shield and drops it to free a hand, and then reaches down and touches Hargrimm, willing some of the cleric's wounds to transfer to himself, grimacing with pain as he does so. The chittering of insects is heard as hundreds of bugs from the adjacent oubliette seem to crawl all over Alexandru's lower half of his body. He takes 11 as Hargrimm gets 11 healing, and the insects slowly retreat back into the hole.

Hargrimm's eyes flutter and open as he is now conscious (and prone).

R21T13.1: Zauberei, what do you do?

The Splatter Man on deck, Marius in the hole ...

Zauberei moves south and seems to ready a spell. He looks grim and hurt.
