Crucible of the Gods: Last Man Standing


[Skeletons]
Six more skeletons emerge from the pit, three to the east, three to the west. A seventh is summoned by the ruach. They launch a volley of arrows while a few resort to sword swings. However, your battle training pays off in spades! You dodge, deflect and parry your way out of the danger.

Tech: Cold, cold dice this morning. Seventeen skeleton attacks, some factoring in cover and whatnot. All miss except one on Nevdor! Nevdor takes 3 points damage, bringing him down to 21 hp.

[Ruach]
The Ruach teleports from the throne to reappear near Nevdor. Appearing this time as the six-armed ash-shrouded ghoul (Asar-Segt), it calls down the dreaded Flame Strike upon you!
Tech: Dmg: 24 fire and necrotic to those hit. 
Nevdor: Hit, unconscious at -3 hp. Loses 1 healing surge, down to 5 remaining.
Ashton: Missed!
Hanar: Hit, down to 24 thp (and full hp).

*** ACTION POINT! ***
The ruach reverts back to Lyth, and performs a second Whirlwind Attack; the same one that had slain half the party the last time she invoked it. When the onslaught is finally over, one lone crusader remains standing - the final hope against the power of the ruach.
Tech: 38 damage on a hit, 17 on a miss...
Nevdor: Hit. Nevdor is DEAD at -41 hp.
Ashton: Hit. Pushed into pit (failed save). DEAD on impact at -25 hp.
Hanar: Hit. Hanar at 0 thp and 14 hp. Bloodied. Prone. SAVED against the push into the pit.

[FINAL ROUND]
Hanar feels his time running out (Acid Aura, down to 12 hp).

  2. Hanar eyes widen, and then narrow. All of his allies, friends, and companions were now all dead. Pushing aside the sadness that he felt at seeing the last of them fall, Hanar feels anger begin to boil deep inside his chest. Calling upon his inner reserves of strength, Hanar climbs to his feet, glaring at the Ruach.

    "The world will not drown this day!" he cries, as he lunges across the space between him and the Ruach, brandishing the talisman. With a cry of rage, he activates the talisman once more, to avenge his fallen companions.

    Tech:
    Minor - activate second wind +2 defenses until end of next turn, recover a healing surge of hp
    Move - stand up
    AP -> move - move to L9
    Standard - activate the talisman
