I don't think Zuko is ever getting the girl.
DUDE! That's harsh! >:(
P.S. : YEAH! TWO PAGEBREAKS IN A ROW, BITCHES!
Oh dear... Stuff sure has been happening here while I was away.
"Zuko! Argh, this is not good!", I shout as my demon companion blows himself sky high. But that is nothing compared to what happens after that. Undead enemies?! I HATE fighting undead!
As I hear Razuna's call, I realize my crossbow is unloaded, I don't have the power to Quickload it and I can still hardly walk with my leg injury. "Change of plans!", I shout and throw my hatchet right at the shaman to take him out once again (after Zuko used Empower on me).
"Bazyli! You got to destroy that freaking pillar with your magic! We have no chance as long as it stands! Everyone else, keep your defenses up!"
P.S.:
seiromem, it's not a sign of good DM abilities to not allow your players to influence the events and story with their choices... >:(
P.P.S.:
wildwes, you are the best.
Poor Zuko...

Just so you know, you were screwed from the start.

Will the gang get out of this alive?! Will Zuko get the girl?! Will seiromem ever update my skillset in the OP?! Find out in the next episode of The Highlander's Tomb! I just felt like doing this okay
wildwes, you are the best.
Poor Zuko...
Oh but you can influence it! It's your road that once you took it you were screwed on!
In that case, I take back everything I said. My apologies, oh Dungeon Master.
...Now I have nobody left to blame other than myself. Well crap.

---------------------Turn 56---------------------
The fight is right back where it started, but the gang is worn out. Kairy not wanting to deal with the shaman throws her hatchet at the shaman 4! while Zuko Empowers her 6! The ax with blinding speed is hurled at the shaman who simply looks bored as the ax splits open his skull and he falls dead once more.
Taking a defensive stance, 2! Razuna prepares for the flurry of spears to be hurled at him, only managing to dodge 2 that come at him, the other three about to close in when Bazyli walks by and Smacks them all with the ball and chain! Standing at the edge of one of the circled steps, two of the bone people fly down them, and fall into the pillar! The third gets the wind knocked out of him as he lands near the Shaman's corpse. 15 more spears to come, Kairy cannot maneuver well, only managing to chop a spearhead with her dexterity before 4 more are thrust towards her! Wes jumps in, 5! and sends two spears astray while breaking the next two with his sword, finally drawn. The four spearmen are left unbalanced as Kairy steps in and breaks one's arm in a counter-attack. He screams and doubles over in pain over the large steps, and eventually into the pillar, vaporizing instantly! Bazyli is attacked by 3 spearmen, but Wes is ever vigilant, if lacking in grace. He lunges in the way of the spears and successfully blocks them all with his body and sword. One spear manages a lucky puncture into the quartzine armor, and Wes has an additional hole to worry about. Zuko is wielding Katarina with fury as the remaining 8 spearmen all focus him. 6! His speed and dexterity superior, Zuko manages to injury and defile 3 spearmen, disarm two and force the other 3 to back off. It's looking to be victory in sight once more, but the team feels the ominous energy of the pillar removing that sentiment entirely. Sooner or later, it would revive the slain. As if to confirm the pillars dominance the three bone people that had been vaporized by it now reformed as Elementals! In a surprise attack they all launch Miasmal Lighting at the party! Bazyli manages to send one astray and zap another bone person, but they remain unaffected. Wes and Zuko get zapped 3! 5! but their MAGI deflects it into the ground.
11 Spearmen remained armed while 5 back away and run for the east door, where Zuko and Wes had come from. Any others simply stayed back, waiting and watching. There is a West door and a North door. The curtained rooms that once contained Razuna, Kairy and Bazyli returned as well, as if fading back into existence. A muted roar is heard by all.

Well, this is going... slightly better now. Bazyli, you really should do something about that pillar! Use Buster Ball Blast on it or something!
author=wildwes
Why is my countdown to being Doomed still at 5 while everyone else is at 4?
Shhhhh.
Oh, I thought BBB would be on cooldown but since it doesn't appear to be,
I'll blast the pillar to smithereens with BBB!
"I'd love some help if you're offering, Zuko!"

Just so you're aware, it's a giant spiraling pillar of miasmal energy.
Best to be clear on such matters.

I attack the pillar with all of my strength being careful of Bazily's Buster Ball.
...Then I better think of something else...
Also Wes, you may want to consider using Soothe Wound on Kairy's leg. If we have to make an escape or something, she may have some problems...
What's Miasmal's "weakness" of sorts? Seiromem's clarification on it being a Miasmal pillar implies that it's weakness isn't Magi... Perhaps Force?
Also, if there are no objections, I'll cast Soothe Wounds to heal Kairy's injury.
