Marcus posted that he wants to use scorching ray for his next action. He's out of 2nd level spells, but he could cast it from one of the scrolls he just collected. Is that what he wants to do?

 

OUT OF CHARACTER
Sorry. I need to pay more attention with what i'm reading. Guess my spell count is off. Yes, he will use the scroll then.

Round 3:

Marcus retrieves a scroll and reads it to cast scorching ray. A masterfully-controlled line of fire arcs through the air, striking true. This time the energy does not fizzle [beat spell resistance], yet the fire doesn't burn the creature quite as much as might be expected [17 hp damage was reduced somewhat by energy resistance]

Prost slinks into view of the Aspect, and as soon as he has a clear shot, he lets a bullet fly. He watches as his sturdy ammunition survives the impact with his opponent, but causes no effect [2 hp damage completely negated by DR]

Cyrius skirts the pit to reach the creature, manifesting his mind blade along the way, and takes another swing at the Aspect, but misses.

Worrel steps away from the foul pool and takes a chance, swinging with full force and hoping to hit the Aspect. His swing dances across the enemy's body, leaving a long, gashing wound [9 hp damage reduced some by DR]

Lola drops her crossbow and starts to run the long way around the pool to get behind the thing, drawing her magic sword as she goes.

From across the pit, Tex rapidly fires off two arrows, still applying deadly aim. His first shot is well-placed and rewarded as the tiny nick it creates ruptures in a grotesque spray [8 hp damage reduced by DR]. Perhaps too excited by this result, Tex misses with the second arrow.

The Aspect's spiritual weapon swings at Worrel twice and both swift slashes rend through with a fleshy wet sound [13 hp damage total].

The Aspect steps away from the pit, squaring up against both Worrel and Cyrius. It enters a bestial rage. Its muscles to bulge, its skin visibly thickens, and a few wounds wounds knit themselves closed [Damage, Attack, and DR increase and Fast Healing now applies!] In its empowered state, the creature swings its axe twice at Worrel. Only the second of the two powerful strokes connects, but it still lops off a small portion of Worrel's flesh [16 hp damage]. The beast follows up by lashing at Cyrius with its tentacles. The first swing misses, but the second slams into the Gishmesh with teeth-rattling force [9 hp damage]

Round 4:

Marcus picks up his mace [I assume that's what you meant, since your crossbow was already in your hands] and moves around the far side of what used to be the shack [a single move, since you used the first action to pick up].

Prost loads his sling staff with a silver bullet and lets it fly at the Overgod. With long, drawn-out and careful aim, he looses a shot that hits home and does no damage [not that it matters, but silver bullets do -1 damage, so 3 hp damage completely negated by DR]

Charging his mind blade with psychic energy, Cyrius makes another attack upon the Aspect. He makes an unorthodox move that lands unexpectedly and rakes against his foe. Although the mind blade had previously penetrated the creature's hide with ease, it seems the Aspect's rage thickened skin now offers some protection, so the strike does less damage than anticipated [12 hp damage reduced by enhanced DR]

Worrel continues attacking the Aspect, swinging hard with his sword and missing.

Lola slips in behind the beast and swings her sword, but thanks to her haste to get into the battle, misses.

Tex continues to rapid fire with attempted deadly aim. Both arrows miss.

The Aspect's spiritual weapon continues to attack Worrel. As the axe bites deep, Worrel twists, and the blade draws a jigsaw wound [8 hp damage], but this action at least causes the second swing to glance off harmlessly.

The Aspect's rage ends as quickly as it began [no more bonuses, fast healing, or enhanced DR]. Deciding that Cyrius' mind blade is the greatest threat, it focuses its attention on him. Cyrius manages to avoid two swings of the axe and both tentacles!

ACTIVE EFFECTS
Spells in effect:

1. Bless: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects (all party members), 0.6 min left

2. Spiritual Weapon: currently targeting Worrel, ? rounds left

3. Create Pit: any creature ending its turn on a square adjacent to the pit (red hashmarked squares) must make a DC14 Reflex saving throw with a +2 bonus to avoid falling into it, 3 rounds left

Coming up in Round 5:

1. Marcus Tilsworth: loaded crossbow and mace in hand, 0 elemental rays left, 4 alchemists fire left, 84 bolts left, Shield 4.5 min left, Mage armor 282.4 min left, light 32.7 min left, 6 hp, 3 WIS damage, temporary -4 to INT, WIS, and CHA

2. Evan Prost: unloaded slingstaff readied, 2 regular and 9 silver bullets left, 40 crossbow bolts left, sunrod in boot, Elixir of Vision 42.8 min left

3. Cyrius of the Sudden Blade: uncharged mind blade and unidentified magic shield readied, 23 bolts left, 18 hp damage

4. Worrel: longsword and shield readied, 42 arrows left, Smite Evil 0 left, Lay on Hands 0 left, shield of faith +3 6.7 min left, 45 hp damage

5. Lola: +1 short sword readied, heavy crossbow dropped at 0708, 1 channel energy left, 75 bolts left, Protection from Arrows 59.3 min left, Shield of Faith +3 5.4 min left, 15 hp damage

6. Texudus TreeBender: longbow readied, 10 arrows left 12 hp damage

7. Aspect of the Overgod: 103 hp damage, reduced somewhat by damage reduction, plus it fast healed some

Oh, do large creatures benefit from ranged in melee too when attackers are smaller than the large creature? If so then attack is 15. likely miss.

Round 5:

Marcus stows the mace and fires his crossbow across the rubble of the shack. The swirl of melee around the creature, however, causes a miss.

Prost, frustrated with his ineffective attacks, hides to the east of the wood pile and begins to search, starting with the wood pile, for possibly anything that may be useful to battle this demon. He finds nothing but splinters and nails.

Athena, guide our hands, Cyrius entreats his goddess as he once more charges his mind blade with psychic energy and attacks the Aspect. His goddess must have been listening, as his sweeping strike connects with the lower-half of the creature and fully penetrates [all 5 hp damage got through]

Worrel continues attacking the Aspect, without useful results.

Lola once again tries to beat on the thing. Her magic sword proves useful, as a perfect, gore-filled circle is the result of her deadly jab [all 2 hp damage got through]

Tex continues to rapid fire with attempted deadly aim. The first shot is a miss, but the second arrow's cruel tip embeds itself harshly in the Aspect [8 hp damage reduced some by DR]

The Aspect's spiritual weapon hews away at Worrel. While the weapon's attempt to gut the elf fails, the thin line across his midsection reveals the accuracy of its assault [both swings hit, 11 hp damage total]

Discovering that there are now two foes with weapons that can penetrate its hide, the Aspect divides its attention between Cyrius and Lola. Dashing Cyrius' guard aside, the beast hews into him violently with its axe [two attacks hit for 20 hp damage total. It also swings a hook with one of its tentacles that connects brutally with Lola [one of two attacks hit for 10 hp damage].

ACTIVE EFFECTS
Spells in effect:

1. Bless: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects (all party members), 0.5 min left

2. Spiritual Weapon: currently targeting Worrel, ? rounds left

3. Create Pit: any creature ending its turn on a square adjacent to the pit (red hashmarked squares) must make a DC14 Reflex saving throw with a +2 bonus to avoid falling into it, 2 rounds left

Coming up in Round 6:

2. Evan Prost: unloaded slingstaff readied, hiding behind the woodpile, 2 regular and 9 silver bullets left, 40 crossbow bolts left, sunrod in boot, Elixir of Vision 42.7 min left

Round 6:

Marcus stows his crossbow and draws his mace.

Prost attempts to take advantage of the distraction provided by the chaotic melee surrounding the Aspect and sneak to a new position. He's not sure whether or not the creature noticed him, but proceeds to retrieve a vial of acid.

Ignoring his wounds, Cyrius again charges his mind blade with psychic energy and swings at the Aspect. A whipping roundhouse slice lops off a chunk of the enemy [14 hp damage not reduced by DR]

Worrel swings again, hoping to remove the Aspect from this plane of existence. Though he doesn't quite get his wish, his swing still strikes through the air with a fearsome whirr and does some damage [10 hp damage, reduced a bit by DR]

Lola swings again, but doesn't penetrate the creature's defenses.

Tex misses with two arrows.

The Aspect's spiritual weapon is unable to get through Worrel's armor.

The Aspect continues to divide its attention between Cyrius and Lola. Like sunlight slipping into a dark corner, an overhead swing of its axe slips between Cyrius' defenses [potential crit not confirmed, 11 hp damage]. An expertly executed swing from its tentacle hits Lola with a satisfying crunching sound [5 hp damage].

ACTIVE EFFECTS
Spells in effect:

1. Bless: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects (all party members), 0.4 min left

2. Spiritual Weapon: currently targeting Worrel, ? rounds left
