Castle Amber: A D&D Adventure

"Good plan, Kalar!" says Rob, impressed at these spells that Kalar is unleashing.

"Are you coming with me?" Rob asks Rachelle, offering his hand to pull her up to Stumpy's back, if she wishes.

Rob prepares to invoke his Cape of the Mountebank to teleport far on the opposite side of Jehan and the Magma Wall, so he can then ride back stealthily and surprise Jehan from behind.

Rachelle jumps onto Stumpy. No point in the bard going on his own, after all.

A fireball comes whirling in from the south. It erupts right in front of Stumpy, scorching him terribly. Rachelle and Rob are also blasted as Harvey watches from the west. Lynda witnesses it all while safely on the ethereal plane. Jehan can be seen approaching from the opposite direction then he was before the wall of magma went up. Kalar, in cased in a salt dome with his terrible creation, only hears the sounds of magic, but is able to see little more than a flash.
Stumpy looks like he's in really bad shape.

Stumpy takes 20 dmg
Rob takes 17 dmg
Rachelle 18 dmg

"Oh dear." Lynda thinks. "Perhaps he just needs a hug..."

Lynda puts on her Girallon Bracers to sprout extra arms.

"...around the neck...tightly..."

She'll then try to get as close to Jehan as possible while within the Ethereal Realm. When the moment is right, she'll materialize to the corporeal realm and attempt to grapple and strangle Jehan.

Kalar presses his divine symbol onto his forehead, filling himself with divine energy. He then calls out to Jim to have the abomination fill him with negative energy before he flies out of the dome, heading for Jehan.

He leaves his holy symbol out, hoping that the assassin cannot see through the darkness radiating from the symbol. Of course, he makes sure to fly higher than 60 feet up to ensure that the others can see what they are doing.

Jim's necrotic touch: 2d6+7 damage, negative energy. Undead gain as temporary hit points.
Roll: 5,4+7 = 16

Spell Used: Divine Power
Duration (9 rounds)

Kalar current attack bonus: +15/+10/+3 (1d8+5)

Current hp: 113

Current AC: 26

Rob pours his best healing spell into Stumpy's neck, and keeps riding. He activates the power of his Rob's Standard

"Ho ho ho, it's gettin good now! This is the chance! He's there, you're here.. the lighting's right.. let's make this one something special."

Harvey's thought about it long and hard, and he knows exactly where he wants to put the arrow. He closes the range, draws back his bow, peeks around the wall and lets it loose, first in his mind and then in real life. Right where its gonna hurt the most.

Expending Psionic Focus to activate the Greater Psionic Shot feat.
+4d6 to the next shot.

Also hoping for a sneak attack, since maybe he doesn't know I'm there, which'd be +5d6

Rachelle waits for Rob to teleport, then quickly puts on the amulet. Here's to hoping Jehan doesn't have anything specific to nullify it... or, for that matter, is as adept in physical combat as he appears to be in magic.

Rob, Stumpy, and Rachelle vanished. They appeared hundreds and hundreds of feet away. Rob couldn't see the fight through the trees, but he knew where it was and began to ride back. While he did, he healed Stumpy.
Kalar took his time, preparing to face Jehan. He charged himself with magic while safely in his salt fort.
Harvey took his chance. He ran up and shot Jehan with his bow. The arrow flew, straight and hard. Jehan never saw it coming. It struck him in the deep in the chest, just missing his heart. It stuck out Jehan's back but did not fully exit. Jehan felt a good deal of his breath leave him as the arrow's hole emptied his left lung.
Jehan turned towards Harvey with an evil glare, but before he began to take his revenge, Lynda appeared out of no where and grabbed him. This seemed to only anger Jehan. Lynda was unable to choke Jehan as he grappled with her, yet he made no move to escape Lynda's grapple. Instead he grabbed her back and sank his silver dagger deep in her stomach. It was the coldest thing Lynda had ever felt. She could feel the wound around the area where she was stabbed begin to harden into ice. A sickly feeling filled her body.

Harvey deals 45 dmg
Lynda takes 12 dmg plus 29 ice dmg (41 dmg total)

"Oh...!" Lynda gasps, sounding resigned. "Cold...so terribly cold...Silas would be proud..."

Lynda fades back in to the Ethereal Realm.

"But I'm not done just yet..."

Lynda observes the fight patiently from the Ethereal Realm, plotting for when she'll strike next...

Kalar flies out of his little fort, and looks around for Jehan. As soon as he sees him, he charges his holy symbol with divine power and holds it aloft. No speeches. Just action.

He releases the divine energy, bathing Jehan in brilliant light as bright as a thousand blazing bonfires, and just as intensely hot.

Spell used: Blistering Radiance (Spell Compendium)

Area: 50-ft.-radius spread
Duration: 9 rounds

All in area are dazzled, no save.
Each round 2d6 fire damage to all creatures and objects, Fort half.

Harvey cackles at his success! "Shot like that's worth the wait.. Why have I never learned to paint?" he wonders to himself... "And how's he still breathing?! Fight's not over... lose him in the woods and make it a matchin set..."

He puts his fingers to his temples and regains his focus.. gonna need it, can't get sloppy.. but I can't just say nothin' either, can I? What'd they print in the history books then, hehe! Finally the rogue speaks, shouting to the wounded Inquisitor: "Ey buddy! You should eat more! I can see your ribs!" and with that witty rejoinder, he disappears 40 feet into the woods to the west. Hidin' behind the girl, always the best tactic.

Lynda faded into the ethereal plane, and Harvey retreated. Then, Kalar came out of his salt fort and unleashing a blinding fury. In the flash, Jehan disappeared. Kalar was sure he hit him with the spell, but Jehan must have escape to somewhere afterwards. Harvey watched as Jehan slipped behind a nearby rock formation, but quickly lost sight of him.
Rob and Rachelle continued to race back towards the fight.
Lynda noticed that the ice around her wound was slowly growing, even while she was ethereal.

Kala continues his approach, flying closer to where he last saw Jehan. He makes sure to keep out of the light though, as he has no intention of burning himself. He gains some more altitude in order to get a better view of the battlefield. He then holds his holy symbol up, pointing it at burning light and then focusing divine energy into it. With a quiet prayer, he unleashes the power, summoning a devil to aid in his fight. He orders it to find and kill Jehan.

Spell Used: Summon Monster V
Duration: 9 rounds

Monster Summoned: Bearded Devil

Did he see me or not? Is this a trap? Harvey cautiously and sneakily tries to get a better vantage point of behind the rocks, without getting too close. He definitely doesn't wanna get a taste of that dagger, but he doesn't wanna let the bastard get away either.
