06-07-07, 10:21 AM		The Corruptor had just retrieved the crate that belonged to the East Habari Trade Company and returned it to it's rightful owners. At least they claimed to be it's rightful owners. The Corruptor didn't care. No, the crate didn't interest him at all. The dead ogre that was slowly starting to rot in his cart was much more interesting. He was surprised when a feeble wizard in rotting robes stumbled out of the cellar, claiming that he should be taking care of the ogre.

"That belongs to me. Now get out of my sight, young fellow," The Undertaker commands and pokes the other necromancer to the chest with his finger. "I was here first so don't you try to spoil my business here!" His sound resembles that of a crow. He commands couple of the Children of Blood cultists to drag the corpse to his laboratory and leaves the Corruptor wondering what just happened.

"Don't mind him. He has been too long in that cellar. I see that you master the same art as he. There is plenty of room in our little community for your kind." The Corruptor instantly recognizes the creature that speaks to him. A vampire. He had heard of Jonathon Raven and was eager to meet him. An intelligent undead. The clumsy creatures that The Corruptor was able to animate and control were nothing compared to the masterpiece that stood before him. "Welcome, Corruptor. Welcome to spread terror into the night of Gladius! Welcome to the East Habari Trade Company! There is someone I'd like you to meet. Head to the abandoned Cathedral of St. Oleanus. I am sure you will find a paradise below the Cathedral. Ask for Lillian." The vampire stared the necromancer in the eyes and The Corruptor started to feel a strange compulsion.

Before he even noticed, he was heading to the cathedral. The night was calm and the rattling of his cart could be heard from far. He arrives to the gates of the cathedral and enters the yard. He sees some humanoid creatures stalking among the graves.
Rauul

06-07-07, 11:35 AM		Following the Directions that Lord Raven, now there was a creature he would Love to dissect and learn how he was created Knowing the legends, having read ever book on the children of the night, and knowing what the many holy scriptures say on Vampire is nothing like get inside the flesh and analyzing what Magic is used to create this creature..

The Reaper Roars with Laughter "You finally meet a Vampire, and now you almost walk past the old church, have you lost your mind brother, or do want Mr Raven to bite you"

Corrupter Glares at his brother "I could kill you where you stand, and have no remorse, I will never know why I keep your sorry backside around"

As they approach the Cathedral of St. Oleanus. The Reaper of Nerull saids a silent pray as he always does before entering another gods domain, this makes the Corrupter snicker "You always do that before we desecrate the church, not when we are just going to talk to this Lillian Person, besides I believe Cathedral has already be home to the Lord of Death"

Approaching the Doors the Corrupter knocks on them.
Abyssal Stalker

06-07-07, 12:48 PM		The door creaks open and Corruptor realizes that he is staring into the eyes of a hungry ghoul. "Food..?" The necromancer realizes that the stalking creatures have come closer and are now surrounding the duo everywhere. He thinks quickly before the ghouls attack them and commands: "I am here to see Lillian. Take me to her!" The ghoul hesitates for a moment but then thinks that it's best not to eat the intruders and says: "Yesss... Follow..." It leads them inside the crumbling cathedral and they follow it into the crypts below the cathedral. The dark crypts turn out to hide an entrance to a massive necropolis that is swarming with undead and cultists. The Corruptor watches the masses of zombies and skeletons in awe. Ghosts and other apparations of death fly through the walls and fill the halls with their sad moaning. The ghoul leads Corruptor and Reaper to a blonde woman that wears the robes of a priestess. She dismisses the ghoul and turns to the visitors. "Ah, you must be the one they call Corruptor. A practicer of the Black Art, I see." She nods at the direction of Corruptor's pets that have followed him to the necropolis. "Jonathon has come to think that you might be interested in some more special creatures. We are always looking for new corpses and I have knowledge of some that might interest you."
"And what do you want from me in return?"
"Nothing really. Kanchelsis is pleased to see the undead roam the surface of Othala. The more the better. And if you ever decide to rise against him...well, you guess the rest."
Rauul

06-07-07, 01:38 PM		Looking the young lady over " Madam, as a Wizard of Thay I know nothing comes without a price, Play me as no fool.. All gods even one who is of Death ask for a service.. So I ask again, what do you want from me in return?" in a voice sounding like gravel the Corrupter asks
Abyssal Stalker

06-08-07, 07:55 AM		Lillian lets out her most charming and innocent smile. "You caught me of not telling everything. But I don't think dismissing a daemon is too big for you to handle. Follow me, I'll show you." She leads Corruptor to a chamber behind an unholy shrine. She chants a spell upon a bowl of blood and an image forms into the bowl. "A gift from Kanchelsis," she explains. Corruptor leans above the bowl and sees a fiend riding a flaming horse. "What you are watching is Gra'ziel, the hunter of Tarterus. He is a sting in our flesh. He hunts everything, even the undead. Take care of him and take as a reward whatever you want from his slaughterhouse." Lillian moves the image so that Corruptor can see inside a cave where the corpses of strange creatures are hanging from heavy chains and hooks, waiting to be turned into trophies to the hunter's collection.
"Why don't you ask Mr Raven to take care of him?" Reaper asks.
"That is not your business!" the priestess screams to Corruptor's brother with a fierce fire in her eyes. She then calms down and turns back to Corruptor. "Well, do we have a deal?"
Rauul

06-08-07, 02:26 PM		Glaring at the Reaper enough to make him Take a step back, he turns to Lillian and smiles, "As my brother Didn't know before he asked, Lord Raven does not lower himself to Dismiss a lesser demon Such as this Gra'ziel, the hunter of Tarterus, I will dismiss him for you.. But Lady Lillian if you have deceived me know one little thing" The corrupter saids in a voice sounding like gravel "I pay back those that deceive me with eternal servitude" as he runs a almost skeletal hand along her cheek

"So Lillian, where shall I find this Gra'ziel, and does Lord Raven wish anything from his lair?" The reaper asks while holding back a snicker

Just so you know.. he has 21 spells levels to use on this fight after recalling the spells with his PoP's, so lets see what he can blow up shall we :)

Reaper locates and Attempt to grapple it, As Corrupter is Invisible, will cast vampiric touch, after that hits, will cast chill touch and keep touch it it for 8rds.. (at 1d6 dmg.. and a save to loose 1 str a hit)

If Reaper goes down, he will lay there as corrupter turns up the heat with Enervation, followed by 1-2 magic missiles, hoping to get the creature to leave reaper alone so he can withdraw and heal with wand (if not below -10hps)

if you wanna do it 1-4 rds at a time so i can adjust tactics would be appreciated..

06-09-07, 03:52 PM		Lillian foregoes all references to Jonathon and says nothing but: "This way." She leads the duo followed by their mindless workers to another chamber. A trio of wizards create a portal inside a frame of bones. The Coruptor steps through it and finds himself from another plane of existence. He stares an entrance to a cave under the bloodred sky of Tarterus. The stalagmites at the entrance create an expression of stepping inside the mouth of some enromous ancient beast.

The Corruptor, unaffected by the grim vision rips some of his own lifeforce and creates a ghostly hand. The Reaper takes out a wand and taps his brother with it, healing the lost vitality. They can hear snorting coming from furhter inside the cave and realize that the keen senses of the daemon have been alerted. Corruptor casts a spell on his brother, and Reaper grows double the height he was. Then they see a strange fish-daemon riding a nightmare come around the corner. It shouts something in a strange language and shoots an arrow that pierces Reaper's protections and wounds him badly. They can see from this distance that the daemon has a fine-looking bow, a trident and some nets hanging from the nightmare's sides. It wears an armor crafted from black scales.

06-09-07, 04:20 PM		Wowser, fast hit.. ok

Corrupter will take a 5ft step to the right to get a clear line on the guy, and fire off a lightning bolt (should hit both him and nightmare), then move to be behind the reaper(full cover??) reaper will tap himself with the wand, and move forward (single move always)

Next round
Corrupter will cast vampiric hand and deliver it with his specrtal handif he is past 85ft..
if he is within 85ft, then Enervate him, staying behind his "Big brother" for partial cover, as the reaper heals with wand or falls..

Following round.
Start magic missile (have 3 of them)

(need to know if Shield other is active or not from previous fight)

06-10-07, 08:09 AM		Corruptor steps from behind his brother and blasts a bolt of lightning at the fiends and it strikes true on both of them. The nightmare shakes in agony, but Gra'ziel only laughs at the feeble attempt as his natural resistance to magic absorbs the electricity. Gra'ziel wawes it's claw and sends a sickening black globe towards Corruptor and Reaper. The globe flies with a low humming and then blasts into the screams of a thousand tortured souls around the duo. They almost bathe in the sounds as they recall the screams of their own victims and go unaffected by the fiend's attempt. Reaper heals himself with the wand and the arrow wound closes. He moves towards the fiend, protecting his brother with his enlargened body.

Round 2:
Corruptor casts lightning bolt for 34 damage. Nightmare takes full damage. Gra'ziel takes no damage thanks to spell resistance.
Gra'ziel uses SLA on Corruptor and Reaper with no effect. His mount carries them towards the duo.
Reaper heals with wand 3hp and moves in front of Corruptor.

Corruptor 29+10/29 (spectral hand, extended false life)
Gra'ziel xx/xx
Nightmare xx-34/xx
Reaper 21/29 (enlarge person, shield of faith)

Edit: Extended False Life is still running for 10hp and 3 hours, Shield Other has run out. You REALLY SHOULD NOTE THESE IN YOUR PREFIGHT ACTIONS! I should rule that you don't have them beause you haven't listed them, but I'll let you go this time.

Do you want to continue with the tactic described.

06-10-07, 10:08 AM		Yea from this point on it's either gonna win or loose,

So lets do a vampire touch on the horse Via Spectral hand, Reaper goes for a grapple and damage with grapple, while Corrupter MM's the horse to death..

06-10-07, 03:23 PM		Gra'ziel rides his flaming mount , but Corruptor casts a powerful spell that drains the life out of the mount and Gra'ziel falls down with agility. Reaper grabs a hold of Gra'ziel and they start a vicious wrestling match, while Corruptor bombs the daemon with his spells. First Reaper manages to overcome Gra'ziel, but then his eyes fill with horror as the daemon starts to claw and bite him with it's razor-sharp claws and fangs. Soon the daemon stands above the dying Reaper and stares Corruptor in the eyes with bloodlust. It charges at Corruptor , stabbing him here and there with the trident and then with an upward stab impales the necromancer. Gra'ziel lets out a growl of victory as it stands undefeated, surrounded by the dead corpses of the puny mortals that tried to end it's hunt.
You almost got it. The failed caster level check on the lightning bolt was what decided the fight.
Rauul

06-11-07, 12:03 AM		kinda figured that... don't know if the +1 for necro spells would matter to defeat SR.. but wouldn't do enough damage either way... O-well try again next week

Hmm may change it a little, but you know Reaper is Diehard right.. can do actions till -10 hps.. like heal up and say hell with the grapple and attempt to trip and smash LOL... don't matter really..
Abyssal Stalker

06-11-07, 01:03 AM		Well, the first of the rake attacks took Reaper down and the second would've also been a hit - so Reaper would get dropped in that round anyway. You were fighting a half-fiend sahuagin ranger and a nightmare. I'll post the stats later tonight when I get home from work.
Abyssal Stalker

06-11-07, 01:37 PM		Lillian watched as Gra'ziel roared inside the cave as a mark of it's recent kills. She wawed her hand and the image disappeared and turned back to a pool of blood. "Hmph. Now you know why Gra'ziel is a sting in our flesh." She would need to find another way to deal with the daemon. The planar hunting trips it made were annoying. She wouldn't lower herself to ask help from Jonathon. No, she would take care of this little issue herself. I'll show him what I am capable of. I will gain back Kanchelsis's favor.
