-He ran over to where Killing Spree was. Looking at Meldrin, he thought on how they were going to fight him and not become snacks-

<font color="silver">Larry sees the gate open, much to his horror...studdering, he tells Kaz to get out her wand of Monster summoning...</font>

<font color="plum">Kaz casts the spell of the wand, and summons up .............</font>

ooc...what can she summon, Mistral???

ooc: ER, we've got 3 rangers here... What good does that do him exactly?

ooc: Anyone not protected from evil will be attacked by the pit fiend , which lasts 33 rounds. Everyone must cast protection from evil, or basically wait to be slaughtered. One of the most powerful demons...

( ooc: Snacks... Mmmmmm... Popcorn anyone? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/lurk.gif )

~She gruffs as Deiter stood by her. They all needed a distraction and some time to think on real strategy. She nods her head and pulls a single scroll from her tunic.~ "Monster Summoning 3..." ~Within moments three winter wolves stood before her. She points at Meldrin.~ "Take anything he summons, for now, just give us some time ladies." ~The wolves give an understanding yip, not seeming to care if they were scorched. Chani looks at Deiter.~ "It's good to have summon creatures, makes life easy. NOW what do we do?!"

~ Recognising the pit fiend, Mistral cries out "Everyone cast Protection from Evil!" ~

~ Meldrin bursts into his maniacal laughter. ~

I need to know what creatures Kaz just summoned are.
I do not know the limits on the wand...

ooc: Wand of Monster Summoning will summon low HD creatures such as kobolds. I think they'll die within one round; as I say, the pit fiend is seriously one creature you don't wanna mess with...

~ Mistral hurriedly casts Protection from Evil. ~

~ Seeing that the group is summoning creatures to distract his fiend, Meldrin now summons a magic sword (+4 weapon, 20 rounds, as if wielded by 10th level fighter). Pointing to Larry, he orders, "Attack!" ~

~ The pit fiend crushes 2 of the wolves with one blow... ~

(ooc: I know this is a tough fight, everyone... but I am definitely keeping track of his no. of spells. Maybe the swords should come into play soon?)

<font color="silver">three little kolbolds run stupidly toward their doom. they are told to be in line behind the wolves, and wait their turn.
They do so, obediently.</font>

<font color="silver">Larry sees a blade screaming towards him, and gasps. Nightblade is brought up just in time, and the first shot is blocked.</font>

<font color="plum">Behind him, Kaz begins a spell...</font>

~She gasps as two of the wolves are killed. She reaches in her quiver absent-mindadely for +2 arrows, shooting them from her black bow at the pit fiend, hoping the arrows would do something, besides piss the creature off that is...~

~ The pit fiend continues on its blood fest, clawing the remaining wolf and one kobold to pieces ~

~ Mistral casts a Protection from Evil on Spree, screaming ~ "Well?! What do we do?! What's so great about the blades?!" ~

~ In the background, Meldrin's laughter thunders.

<font color="silver">Half fighting the sword, half looking around the room, Larry calls out for Deiter to come to his aid.</font>

-Deiter glared at the pit fiend grimly as got ready to attack it.-

(ooc: I'm a bit more free now, it seems, to help with Kaz... phew...)

~ Having cast protection from evil on herself, Kaz now proceeds to cast it on Larry ~

ooc: Sorry, Larry. Stoneskin only works for mages themselves. What priests can do is cast ironskin (the equivalent) but being rangers, you don't get these spells that soon... Change to Protection from Evil perhaps? See my above post.

<font color="silver">Just for the heck of it, Larry decides to throw his dagger at Meldrin, wondering what would happen. The blade spins away in the direction of the foe.</font>

~ The magic sword swings viciously, lashing in a whirlwind of activity at Larry

~ The pit fiend tears the remaining kobolds apart and turns to attack Deiter, the remaining character not protected from evil...~

~ Sensing the intention of the pit fiend, Mistral rushes over to cast Protection from Evil on Deiter...~

-Deiter looks at the pit fiend comeing at him. Curseing for not getting the spell casts on him, he held his sword out ready to attack the beast.-

~She yells out.~ "Larry I wouldn't do that!" ~She watches as the blade bounces away from Meldrin and bounces back to strike Larry. She shoots and average arrow to knock the blade away from its course of pummeling to his head.~ "Larry, use what little is between your rounded ears!" ~Meldrin laughs profusely. And she glares, knowing she is helpless to shoot him.~

ooc...how much longer is this sword going to keep me busy???

<font color="silver">Larry parrys with the sword, not really knowing how to defeat it, and hoping that it would just vanish when its time was up...</font>

"Damn" ~She mutters, looking on in a daze of confusion and chaos. She yells out to Larry.~ "LET NIGHTBLADE FIGHT IT!" ~She looks to Mistral with a grim look at the scabbard. She haden't bothered to touch the sword! She yells out.~ "Shatter! Night and Shield!" ~The red scythe on the hilt of the sword glows as it charges from Mistral's waist and pummels to help Nightblade and Larry.~

(ooc: For another 15 rounds or so, give or take... when I played BG2, there was nothing I could ever do against the sword but run...

I think what the party needs to do is focus on attacking Meldrin. Everyone is now protected from evil, so the pit fiend will ignore them. I could be really nasty and get Meldrin to dispel all the protection from evil, so that the pit fiend will attack again. However, I feel that this may ruin the fun of what started out as an interesting battle.

In short, shall we move on with the blades? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif)

~ Meldrin's eyes widen as he witnesses the changing dynamics of the battle with Chani's enchantments. ~ "So... this is how they are interlinked..." ~ He hurriedly casts Mislead ~

~ Finally I've remembered to memorise that spell! ~ Mistral casts her True Sight spell, dispelling Meldrin's double as it first appears ... ~

<font color="silver">Larry hears the command, looks around to see Shatter coming in for the aid, and lets Nightblade fly. Therefore, Nightblade and Shatter are both parrying with the summoned sword together, and what a team effort it is to watch!!</font>

<font color="silver">Larry turns and skips over to Spree, Mistral and Deiter. Kaz is staying way back from the Pit fiend, and is behind them all.</font>

(ooc: Nods head.)

~With Shatter at the command to protect Larry and aid Nightblade, she nods her head. This could be all right she thought. She now drew her scimitar. She'd previously dubbed it ƒä£øñ. Which would be sea elven for "Death". The barkskin had turned her skin a tree brown, but the red scythe burned through the layer, now controlling Shatter. She hides in the shadows, her cloak held her non-detectable by spells such as true sight, and her armor helped her hiding severely. She invisably whispers in Deiter's ear.~ "We need to start moving... You'll know when I make it up there." ~She chuckles and moves away, hiding in the crook of a pillar. She takes her now invisable amulet and whispers to it, Mistral was wearing the matching one.~ "You will need Shatter... She'll come when called but you HAVE to stop calling her Brightblade! Moving up, suggest you come along." ~She then smirks, whispering.~ "Shatter, shield and scythe." ~The blade continued its shielding of Larry, but the scythe momentarily let a sound creep to Larry's ears.~ "Moving up, kill the sword and let's move!"

(ooc: KS and Deiter - are you still there?

Larry - I suppose you're finding the fight nearly impossible... but seriously, do you agree that it's realistic, Meldrin being a level 20 mage and all that?)

~ Mistral moves forward slowly, thanking Mystra that she had caught Spree's faint whispers through the amulet ~

~ Sensing some hidden telepathy between the four, Meldrin's eyes narrow. ~ So... the fools have finally seen through their mistake... ~ He waits for the group to approach closer before pointing a finger of death at Mistral ~

-Tightening his grip on Leafblade he looked over at the others then at Meldrin."Looks like the time has come.." he thought to himself.-

oh yes...every spell is rolling just like it should.
No problems for me...now...watch this, as Spree has instructed us to be at the ready.

<font color="silver">Larry catches the message, and puts his hand back out for Nightblade to come to him. She does so, and as the summoned sword came wheeling at Larry, Larry spins around, taking Nightblade with both hands and side-steps from the blade's direction bringing Nightblade down to shatter the sword into two pieces. The summoned sword fell, its magic dead. Larry looks to Meldrin and winks at him.</font>

(ooc: Shatter should save you from any spell like that... ER I THINK... Got these things messed up! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif)

~She takes a deep breath, silently mouthing a prayer to Mielikki. She had found her way to the side of Meldrin, by some stroke of faith still undetected. 'Can't have a spell for everything!' She thought to herself. And it was true, with her cloak and hiding in the shadows, she was virtually indetectable... So long as she didn't do anything stupid. She takes the last breath and steps behind the chuckling Meldrin. Her scimitar poised. A cold sweat was forming on her invisible brow. 'No point in standing here waiting for him to see me.' she thought. She repositioned the scimitar in her clammy hand, and sent the blade between his ribs. She was now visible and desperately looking for aid as she twisted and writhed the sword.~

<font color="silver">Larry, seeing the attack was on, ran close enough for his aim to be true, and yelled, Nighblade! GO!, and Nightblade did just that, piercing Meldrin through a lung</font>

[This message has been edited by Larry_OHF (edited 10-16-2001).]

<font color="plum">Kaz used the last use of the summon monsters again, and two kolbolds ran to Meldrin's legs and began to bite him.</font>

~ Meldrin senses a violent attack on his back ~ So! They have non-detection!... Good thing my stoneskin is protecting me for the remaining 7 physical attacks... ~ Nevertheless, he casts shadow door and disappears from the view of others ~

~ Mistral cringes as she takes damage, but she shouts in time "Shatter!" ~ the sword strikes Meldrin... ~

edit: Sorry, I will redo the post on Mistral's actions. Was a bit lost on that...

(ooc: As far as I recall, Shatter only has limited regeneration ability...)

<font color="silver">Larry calls Nightblade to his arm once more, as he sees that Meldrin has vanished. </font>

ooc...I took the second stone skin off of him.

-He was about to hit Meldrin when he disappears from sight."crud.." Turning around he carfully looks around.-

ooc: AGH I HATE STONE SKIN FANATICS! It dosen't prevent EVERYTHING! You can STILL get hurt! RAGH! ~smashes things and sends rabid chihuahuas at Mistral.~ HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WIN?! THESE BLADES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MAGICAL/MYSTICAL/LEGENDARY ETC!!!! RARGH!

I'm OK... Really...

<font color="plum">realizing that she was all alone...Kaz begins to hurry in the direction of the others. She did not want to be stuck out there, by herself...</font>
