Round 2
Apparently unwilling to share his table with a pontificating Arbiter Glorio Arkona wrestles Zenobia Zenderholm for her holy symbol
And Maralictor Briasus climbs atop the table which creaks beneath his armored weight and others follow behind him and others behind them and Lord Arkona's goons rain force and lightning on them all -
Sabina Merrin's keen falchion dehusks three red and white and slick-shining men
And Ileosa is scared and sick and has never in her life seen anything so phenomenal and wishes she had a better view and she sings a magic martial melody and when breathing deeply to project her voice the bodies smell to her like food and vampires must have so much fun
Maganrad Hestrigsen starts to cast a solid fog and remembers that he prepared anti-shadow spells instead except the Enchantment spells that are his specialty so he throws a suggestion at Glorio Arkona who makes the save and the roustabout from earlier gets him again and takes him to the ground -
Altronus and the Megapope are both engaged in melee and the Pope has Adoration and Altronus 20+ AC somehow but both are cut and there are three people and Altronus and can't get out of melee to fire his weapon or at least not if he wants to full attack but can get a flank if the Pope also repositions and Altronus melts one attacker with three spiked gauntlets and a pistol to whip but they both took damage here and non-Choryon characters are fragile at level three -
And Lyvina Mayyad moves to color spray Ileosa's attackers before more of them die because you're blowing right past their negative hitpoint buffers you're killing them stop killing people please
And the wizard or possibly the sorcerer who summoned the swarm earlier casts scorching ray on her from across the room and one hazard of pairing d6 hitdice with 11 CON is that 4d6 fire damage will blow right through them and leave you bleeding out at minus four -
And the hazard of pairing 3d6 = 7 hitdice with 3d6 = 13 Con is that Hasagi Choryon deals 1d8+6 = 14 points of damage but Lyvina needs the Pope's ministrations more -
And Corbastia Lettice screams and kicks and is dragged out from beneath the table and ("I've got the False Seneschal!") knelt on by a man trying to figure out what he ought to do now
And Ileosa tells Sabina that she needs to help Corbastia and Rachmirol says she's on it and they should both sit tight -
And nearly half a dozen other brawls rage besides -
And Oriana Delmore rolls a natural 2 for her Fortitude and takes another point of strength damage -
Archbishop Ornher Reebs casts vision of Hell and a fifty-foot radius is as large as a ten-foot is small so it fills nearly all of the conference room and the Archbishop cries that the worst torments of Hell await every one of them who spills Korvosan blood in its hour of pressing need -
And Togomor has to make a concentration check against DC 23 or lose the spell he's working on but that's fine he makes that even though he rolls a 7 and he summons 1d3 = 3 babaus
and instructs one in Abyssal to dispel the glitterdust which vexes him
and another flanks with Tauk Par and KO's Rem Ornelos with its claws
and the third sticks Toff's man Irevotnin with its spear
and with that nuisance and that threat both made unconscious, Togomor floats invisibly from his chair to the door
drawing as he does a pouch of plundered dust
which he spreads across the doorway as an early warning against Toff Ornelos's invisible and mind blanked return
and his familiar Pudgy Knuckles has turned itself invisible and retaken its true impish form
and the imp procures a staff of its master's design
containing deadly spells and subtle ones -
And one-armed Gaskelinni shoves Cressida Kroft's Bag of Holding into first-circle Spellmaster Bromathan because it'd be faster for a man with two arms to go through Kroft's bag of holding for her spirit of hartshorn and wave it under her nose which gives her a new saving throw to resist one effect which has her unconscious or staggered and 1d20+14 = 33 her eyes flutter open and she groans long and low -
