Chapter 3: Drink Deep From the River of My Hate

Tzal's vial strikes the Broken One, shattering and coating him with virulent poison. As he cries out in pain, Woflram drive his dagger through the man's armor and chest, puncturing his heart! He sags and crumples to the ground as the rogue withdraws the bloody blade.

"He served his purpose," Invidian remarks coldly. "Now it is your turn to die!" The archon shouts a divine word at R3N-L3, threatening to overwhelm the clockwork, then slashes at Lauretta again. Agada offers magical guidance as the black blade connects. Agada then hurls hellfire from her hands, burning Lauretta!

OOC:

Lauretta takes 19 damage from Invidian and 12 damage from Agada. This will push her damage past her Health unless R3N-L3 intercedes and takes the hit from Invidian.

@TheForsakenEvil,@Lcythas may both act now, assuming Lauretta didn't go down.

@TheForsakenEvil: At the start of Lauretta's turn, Invidian uses their reaction to speak a terrible curse. Lauretta makes a luck roll. On a success, she becomes immune to Curse of the Antigod for 24 hours. On a failure, she becomes cursed for 24 hours. While cursed in this way, the victim cannot heal damage

Accursed Longsword (1 boon, 1 shield bane) - (d20+3)

(9) + 3 = 12

Hateful Guidance - (2d6h1)

Tzal watched as Invidian and the sorceress continued their attack on Lauretta. It was evident that she won't survive at this rate. He opened his alchemical bag and took out a particular jar containing viscous transparent fluid. It was evident that Tzal himself was careful in handling this particular vial. He then tossed it towards Invidian hoping to hit him with it. As he was throwing, his eyes glowed and infused him with magical energies.

OOC:

Using Royal water. Also, using augment magic to get a boon. That's a total of 27 against Invidian's agility! Now comes the damage.

OOC:

@Stalker05 this is still the second round. You’ve already acted this round. R3N-L3 and Lauretta need to take their turns first. But I will use those rolls for your action next round if you want to take the initiative.

Waiting to hear from @Lcythas as it will determine if Lauretta can take a turn or no. 😅

Chapter 3: Drink Deep From the River of My Hate

Stepping forward, R3N-L3 took the hit from Invidian's accursed blade, carving through his armor like butter to lodge itself deep into his chest.However, as per usual, the Clockwork did not appear to feel pain. "Excuse me, friend Lauretta. If your heart is sliced apart, you normally perish, and you are too valuable to die for the time being. As recompense, I shall terminate his underling." R3N-L3 intoned dispassionately, before moving towards Agada with a flurry of bladework, the ticking in his chest rising to a constant low hum.

OOC:

R3N-L3's reaction will be to take that hit for Lauretta, which will put him down a touch, then he'll be popping Grind the Gears for another action, both of them being attacks at Agada. His first attack might have missed, but if it hits, it deals 6 damage. If the second hits, it deals 15. If the second hit and crit, that'll be 19 instead, for a total of 21 if both hit, 25 if the second crit! Thankfully, the luck roll went through, so he won't be freezing up next round.

Chapter 3: Drink Deep From the River of My Hate

OOC:

Sorry again for the delay, it's been a busy weekend here.

There is a brief moment where the screeching in her ears seems to quiet and her vision reacquires focus. Shouting and the sight of a black blade cutting through the air are what Lauretta has time to make sense of, but panic grips her as she realizes she cannot get out of its way. Gritting her teeth and preparing for the blade's impact, she feels nothing. The clockwork interjected himself, taking the blow for her. Seeing the damage, there is little doubt it would have killed her in her mind. However, the smell of burning flesh and the feeling of searing pain interrupts any other reaction. The witch's hellfire scorched the Preceptor's flesh.

Blood poured from her head and embers clung to her vestments. The archon's curse glided over the holy aura of the angel at Lauretta's back. After the blow to her skull, her battle sense had dulled. Her eyes hardened with the ferocity of an animal, not a soldier. With the R3N-L3 assaulting the seer, the Preceptor uttered an echoing command that tore through the air, attempting to instill fear in the wretched caster.

"Run."

But the momentary syllable did not keep Lauretta's attention off of Invidian for long. Turning her gaze upon the fallen angel, she tore apart its form with her eyes, seeking any weakness. With a roaring prayer and her great axe, she swung at the metal warrior.

"Perdition take you!"

OOC:

1. Lauretta uses Command on Agada, trying to get her to run. Agada must make a Will roll. (No cost)
2. Lauretta uses Dire Attention on Invidian. Invidian must make a Luck roll, which they succeed. (No cost)
3. Lauretta uses her Reaction to Pray for her Great Axe swing.
4. Lauretta uses her Action to Attack with her Great Axe. (14)
5. Rolling damage in the event that it was a hit. Otherwise, ignore.
6. Making end of round Luck Rolls to recover Prayer and Dire Attention.

[ +- ] Tradition Talent: Command (Magical)

Chapter 3: Drink Deep From the River of My Hate

R3N-L3's gears grind as he rushes up to Agada. He hits the witch with his first strike, but she narrowly avoids the follow-up attack. Agada's eyes widen as she succumbs to Lauretta's command. Lauretta swings her axe at Invidian, but the archon deflects the blow with their accursed sword. "Weakling! You will fall to my blade, as have dozens of your brothers and sisters before you!" Invidian scoffs.

OOC:

End of round 2. Everybody who wishes to take the initiative may now do so and act at the start of round 3. Again, I'll use Tzal's attack against Invidian that her previously rolled for his action this round.
