Cast chill before everyone acts.
You work on making a simple chill, (4+4) Easily casting the spell which floods the room. (Luck 4) You control the spell so it only negatively affects the demons.
+1 to Elementalism Sublimation. Sublimations everywhere. Where everywhere equals demons.
You decide that it is time for some mayhem, and go to town on the nearest demon. (2+2) Empowering your attack with it's own energy, you swing your axe at the wounded hunter, (RTD 2) which fails to dodge as your axe cleaves it in two.
+2 to Axes
+2 to Demonology
Get up and walk in the opposite direction I last saw the morningstar demon at until I get out of the darkness sphere.
You stand up, and turn around (2) and promptly lose and sense of direction. You spin around several more times and pick a direction you think is leading away from the demon. (Luck 2) Instead you walk right into it.
Retrieve Di'ako, then apply myou's grace to my wounds, using my superior knowledge of alchemy to create a simplified healing/anti-poison.
You grab Di'Ako and then create a quick poultice to try and expunge the poison from your wounds. (6+1) You expertly treat said wounds, and remove the poison from your system.
+1 to Alchemy
+2 to MedicineEh, we didn't need his XP anyway.
I cast Regeneration on Marcus.
Two skeletons continue their duels.
The third skeleton guards Aarchan.
The third skeleton engages an unharmed hunter.
Worried for your catatonic companion, (5+1) You cast a powerful healing spell on him. (Luck 2) The spell seems to have little effect, unfortunately.
+2 to HealingYour skeletons continue fighting, (5)(1) one delivering a powerful blow while the other fumbles expertly. (RTD 5)(RTD 3) The demons both block the attacks.
Your other skeleton moves to engage a hunter, (6) delivering a powerful overhead strike. (RTD 1) The hunter is caught off-guard, and takes significant damage.
I don't think you added my metamagic exp.
Turquoise sounds awesome if we could apply it to enemies. Of course, it might not be nearly as potent then.
Anyway, this is going better than expected. Attempt to levitate myself above the battle. Exit sphere if that fails but I still have time to act.
Sticking to your age-old theory that there is no better place to test experimental magic than in the heat of battle, you try to levitate. (6+2) Instead of flying, you reduce your weight to be lighter than air. (Luck 6) This proves to be remarkably effective at floating, but gives you little to no maneuverability. You hit your head on the ceiling, and stay there.
+4 to Metamagic
Mass ReductionThe demons which were guarding the mage try to escape as well. (4)(4)(4)(4)(1) Four of them escape through the portal, but the other can't break away from his battle with Nirur's skeleton.
The hunters also attempt to flee, (5)(2) with one leaping through the portal. The other is too wounded to escape, however.
The demon shocktrooper, unaware of what is going on outside of the darkness, strikes at Tarran. (3) He finds it difficult to fight in the darkness, (RTD 1) but Tarran finds it even harder to dodge. He gets hit by the morningstar and is slain.
Hmm, I just thought of something. Since we are still in the obsidian room I'm going to asume that my Spire with the Rune of Channeling is still there. I will therefore chane my action a bit.
Carve a Rune of Channeling on the floor and see if I can channel this slowness to the Spire of Channeling, making those demons who just happened to stand on the appearing line sluggish.
See if Earth Spirit can fire off a Stone or Spire incase any demon aims for the sluggish one.
You work on carving a rune of channeling on the floor, (5+3) sparing no detail when working on it. This leaves you with no time to try and do anything else.
