Strike at his helm, kite toward an unbroken pillar again.
You try to attack Moloch's head, but find that you just can't jump 50 feet up in the air while wearing heavy armor. (4+1) Instead, you attack his leg (RTD 5-4) and watch as your axe bounces off harmlessly again, then back off towards another pillar. (Luck 1) Unfortunately, Moloch seems to be ignoring you now.
+2 to AxesSeize the pillar and attempt to channel its power for my own ends.
You rush up to the pillar and attempt to manipulate it's magic to benefit yourself. (4+1) You easily take control of the pillar's functionality, (Luck 5) and can now shift the pillar through the entire spectrum of light. You also learn what magic the pillar was using when it deflected your spell.
+4 to Metamagic
New Spell: ReflectI'll decurse Tarran.
My remaining skeleton will attack a pillar.
You turn towards Tarran and attempt to break the enchantment afflicting him. (2+2) You halt the effects of the degeneration, (Luck 1) Or at least, you should have... but he still doesn't look too healthy.
+2 to VitamancyNirur's skeleton attacks a pillar, (3) moderately damaging it.
Attempt to cut the pillar Degenerating me again.
You strike out at the pillar again, (4+2) slicing it cleanly in half. (Luck 1) You still seem to be afflicted by the degeneration though.
+2 to SwordsI think the pillars are harmless unless we mess around with them.
More stasis. Freeze his arm joints to stop him from attacking.
You try to freeze Moloch again to prevent him from attacking. (3+1) You encase his arms in (Luck 2) a very thin sheet of ice, which probably won't slow him down for long.
+3 to ElementalismSpire closely to the center of the platform I can (because Moloch has moved from that spot already right?) and carve a Rune of Channeling on it in an attempt to siphon/disrupt the balance of the pillars.
See if Stone Spirit can do something about Tarrans Degenerating status.
You rush up to the platform and quickly create a spire in the center. (4+2) You create a large obsidian obelisk on the platform, then try carving one of the runes of channeling into it. (1) You completely fail to accomplish anything meaningful, (Luck 2+1) but at least you don't seem to have made the situation any worse.
Your stone spirit moves to help Tarran, (4+1) Purging the remaining degeneration from his system.
Force Slash the weak spot on Moloch!
You aim at the small hole created by Aarchan, (5+3) aiming a powerful force blast at the crack in his armor. (Luck 5) You attack him with pinpoint accuracy, (RTD 6-4) but Moloch moves at the last minute, and your attack shatters against his thick shell of metal.
Cast holy word on the weak spot I made in it's leg, then begin attacking the other leg.... try and avoid getting hit by my teammates again.
You mutter a Holy Word as you pill your dagger free, (1)(Resist 3+3) which only serves to enrage Moloch further. You then rush over to his other leg and attack him again, (2+2) easily slicing through his armor. (RTD 6-4) Your dagger cuts open another, slightly smaller wound.
Moloch goes to attack Aarchan again, (5-3) Easily shattering the ice as a massive fist descends towards his victim. (RTD 1) Aarchan is crushed by the massive attack, (Miracle 5) but somehow doesn't die. It seems that Madantum cares something for his followers after all, as Aarchan barely clings onto life by the grace of his deity.
Not seeming to care much for gods, Moloch continues regenerating the wounds inflicted upon him.
