Ephemeral Skies Chapitre I

[Disciple of Sakura]

{The monster has a +11 Reflex save bonus... He only takes half. Sorry.}

The freezing breath injures the undead monstrosity, but it seems to react fast enough to avoid the worst of it. Still standing, it continues its relentless assault.

{Okay. It's Buck's turn. Hopefully it'll die this time...}  

[Arc Vembris]

buck seriously considers readying some better maneuvers once he gets a chance. Until such time, he lays it down with his sword again.
((Greatsword +9))  

[Arc Vembris]

If that hit, 2d6+9  

[Arc Vembris]

If that hit, 2d6+9  

[Disciple of Sakura]

Buck strikes the monster cleanly and decisively, but does not manage to successfully kill it. It, in turn, takes a strike at Marionne, as it has been terribly ineffectual at attacking Buck since his Force Screen went up.
{+11 to hit. Second to confirm, if possible. STUPID FAILURE MONSTER! scream }
The attack misses Marionne, and her divine inspiration grants her the keen insight to lay low those who oppose her.

{Reed, it's your turn. Just kill this thing, ya?}  

[Dallas Moonrain]

Frustrated and annoyed, Reed summons a shadowy fist to follow his real fist towards the monster.

{Reed initiates shadow blade technique, which fortunately does not technically require a blade.+10, since he's flanking.}  

[Dallas Moonrain]

{unarmed strike dmg d6+3, +d6 cold if the 15 actually hits....unlikely, but what the heck. smile }  

[Disciple of Sakura]

Reed's mystical cold attack fails to connect, though his actual fist certainly does. He punches the creature clear in the face, his hands crunching into the necrotic tissue of the monster's withered cheek. The force of his impact does little to truly injure the monster, but it at least now it's paying attention to him as well.

{Now it's Marionne's turn. Your divine inspiration has granted you the Foehammer maneuver.}  

[Emerald the Crow]

Unable to maneuver into a flanking position after getting out of the way to breath on the monster, but she was still pretty accurate with a sword. She shifted her feet, her mind focused on the glimmer of the divine that she had just glimpsed, and swung, bringing all the forces of her faith to bear on the a anathema that she was battling.

{+10 to hit with a Foehammer'd longsword.}  

[Disciple of Sakura]

Unfortunately, Marionne's strike is narrowly avoided, despite the clumsiness imparted upon the monster by Reed.

{That'd be Buck's turn, then...}  

[Arc Vembris]

Buck just keeps hitting the darn thing
Greatsword +10  

[Disciple of Sakura]

Buck's swing is unfocused and goes wide, failing to find its target. The monster once again lashes out at Marionne, his fists hitting nothing but air.

{+11 slam attack, with possible confirmation as second roll...

Okay, seriously? It's a +11 to hit a target with an AC of 19. The lack of success is just pathetic at this point...

It is now Reed's turn.}  

[Dallas Moonrain]

Reed goes over backward, bringing his feet up to the monster's face. He then tumbles to the side, causing shadows to coalesce around him.

{Reed uses his unarmed strike and then tumbles 10 ft to the side, bringing back his 20% miss chance from Child of Shadow. attack roll +10, tumble +14, so technically I don't have to roll that, but I will anyway because I like dice.}

{Also, noticed looking back at his sheet that Reed has Insightful Strikes for Shadow Hand, meaning he should have done an additional 3 damage on his last attack....}  

[Dallas Moonrain]

{Yay for a 27 to hit! And that 16 on the tumble check still beats a DC 15, so no AoO for me! Yay! Rolling damage....d6+3}

{7 damage....much better!}  

[Disciple of Sakura]

Reed's kick catches the monster directly on the chin, and the monster's head actually tears off its neck, pieces of gristle and esophagus letting loose in the air as it trails towards the ground. The headless body slumps to the ground, a corpse once again.
