Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

Awaking to the sounds of metal tearing open Casimir's flesh and piercing his chest cavity, Elysriel peered over in horror as Ana stood over him holding the weapon. The sight of it all was horrifying as ever a sight to behold, sending shivers down her spine as she tried to react in time...

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Ana stood over the slain Casamir, staring down at him with a deathly grim expression. There was no remorse in her eyes, nor the firm set of her jaw to be seen. One final, cruel twist of her spear and she tore it from his corpse, the movement accompanied only buy the sound of tearing flesh and the ring of steel, again taking in her surroundings, noting the horrified expression on Elysriel's face.

Tanis..

Bluff Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

I iz ded

Seeings as the players are absent for long periods of time, 1 of two things will occur. Either the party can choose to continue or I will consider this a tpk and make the rolls accordingly for thematic effects sake. Either way this will be getting closed soon, possibly to start again with a bigger party and different creation rules.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"ANA!!!

It was too late. Casimir's body lay motionless upon the floor. Only blood oozed from his chest as his heart released what was left of its contents.

"Until you snap out of this I'm gonna have to contain you! In anyway I can!

Ryker raises his arm and a glowing golden radiance appears in his hand. It forms into a ball and shoots forth towards Ana. It seems to miss Ana and fly's just beyond her So he himself would be out of the range and suddenly it bursts into a cloud of golden glitter. Coating everything around Ana.

Glitterdust DC18

"What the hell are you screaming abo-?" She started to ask before noticing Ryker in the midst of releasing magic.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Will Save to negate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Oh god... get it out of the way I suppose.

The brightness reflected by the particles of the unknown spell burned into her retnas, and an involuntary gasp sounds from her mouth as she settled back into a ready a stance as she can with her spear tip swaying blindly in Ryker's direction.

Her eyes flicker open then closed, a cold chill rushing up her spine as her body reacted to the inability to see with a pit of fear and rage building from her core. "What do you think you're doing?!"

End of turn save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

She felt it as the strength of the magic waned, and let the force of her will wash through her like the high tide, washing it away like castles in the sand as her stance tightens and spear steadies. Her eyes slowly open, locking onto Ryker all but seething with anger and confusion.

Will Save for ???: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

With the flashy radiance that was brought fourth via Ryker a small hiss was now heard behind Ana. As now the outline of a small winged creature came into view before the party you can make out devilish features.

The glitter covered creature now stumbles in mid air trying to find an out from what it looks like.

Will Save for ???: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

His sparkling, but otherwise invisible appendages begin moving in ritualistic patterns. His voice becomes deeper for an imp of his size. The sparkling figure makes its way around the room occasionally bumping into the walls as it felt it's way around the room blindly, cursing the whole way.

Elysriel catches sight of an outlined creature poorly making its ways through the room. she stands pulling out her bow in the same action in hopes she could stop whatever this being was...

"It's getting away..."

Stealth V: 1d20 + 7 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 18 = 39

No, tremor sense picks nothing up atm

With that said, it is back to the top with Ryker's turn :)

Also, any of you can read the above post. As it is something most if not any of you will not notice IC, I doubt it really effects anything you're doing at the moment. Simply put its added flavor with a great stealth check ;P

Ryker stands tall and points at the devilish creature.
"What you have wrought here today shall be your final act of evil vile beast!"

Ryker's eyes flash for a moment while he stares at the beast.
Activating Personal Trail vs. the creature.

Rykers body then begins to glow a familiar pink color, as his hair begins to stand on end.

"I'll hold off Ana... Elysriel... Kill it!"

Activating Inspire Greatness for me and Elysriel
Inspire Greatness HP: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (8, 7) + 4 = 19

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Sense Motive for the gigglez: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Still confused and angry, her expression slacks a bit at the mention of her brother in what could seem as mild desperation before settling back into a cold stare. Her eyes dart back and forth between Ryker and Elysriel as she carefully maneuvers herself between the both of them and her new Imp companion, aiming to provide it with given a meager cover from Elysriel's arrows while denying a direct path for Ryker as best she can.

"You better be telling the truth, or I'll gut you myself." She says under her breath.

She'll now cast Mage Armor upon herself.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

The beast continues about the room leading out of it an outstretched appendage feeling the wall as it flew clumsily out of the room. The glow from the glitterdust made all aware of where it was even as it made its way out of the room and to some, out of sight.

Elysriel nods, not taking her eyes off of the enemy,... Or what able to be seen of it, positioning herself if she needed to she would let loose an arrow in hopes to strike it down.

Attack on ???: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Damage on ???: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Deadly aim

The creature is just out of the room as he has been following the walls with his movements and blindly. So in this case you'd have had to repostition yourself only slightly Elysriel. Aka no provokes if you did from anyone, (for the record). He is almost into the kitchen area. Also he auto makes the fly check to stay flying after being hit. He also doesn't seem to be hit as vitally as you'd thought Elysriel.

Acrobatics to Avoid AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Ryker flips himself twards Ana in such a way to make her flustered with his movements to get past her long spear. His hair now spiked fully and his body aglow with pink energy.

Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
It provokes, but your wielding a reach weapon.
Ryker grabs Ana to restrain her. "Fight the devil's control, I know you would kill the creature yourself for influencing your actions!"

"Elysriel, my glitter affect is wearing off. Listen for his wing beats and let your arrow strike true!"

"Let me go!" Screaming from a party of emotions ranging from frustration, to rage, to fear as she thrashed in Ryker's grip, eventually creating an opening from which she could escape.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Her fear grew as the dust began to settle and the imp disappeared from her sight. All hope that she held of seeing her brother fading into an icy chill as she realized that Elysriel's arrow may soon remove any chance she may have had.

Free from Ryker's grip, after taking an initial step away from Ryker she will then turn to Elysriel with an upraised hand as she hisses a spell. From her hand a brilliant ray of energy fires from the palm of her hand and arcs its way to the archer.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Casting Ray of Enfeeblement and brilliantly missing the broad side of a barn.
Str Penalty: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The ray flies harmlessly by and Ana prepares for what was to come in the following moments. Tears began to flow from her eyes, though from sadness or rage, was unclear.

You didn't add in the -4 to Dex from being grappled therefore you miss the grapple by 1 and are still grappled as well as can't cast and break grapple same turn. Sorry.

The glow from Ryker's spell begins fading and a small cackle is heard before it ultimately goes silent once more. No traces left of this creature remained to confirm it's existence,... that is, until a door opened in the other room.

With a glance you each notice the once locked door to the basement is wide open.

Initiative for V: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Dont Wanna: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Will.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 6 = 38

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Attack: 1d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 = 12

If I'm able to I'd like to move to the doorway using perception to try and see any signs of the fiend. Then guessing the whereabouts of the invisible enemy try and shoot it.

Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 34

Stealth vs Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

The arrow strikes into the darkness as the still silence leaves the pits of your stomachs roaring with anxiety. Finally you hear a hollow "thud" of something landing on a hard surface from a distance. A sense of tension is relieved from your minds as is then revival of the terror that was to come. Though questionable as to whether this was the last you were going to encounter the creature, hope clung on that its death was a possibility.

To Elysriel and soon the others you notice that this mystery door that had been locked earlier sit wide open now. A stairway slightly steeper than most awaited the other side, descending into darkness. Steps made of thick dry old gnarled wood that creaked as weight shifted upon them.

Combat appears to have ended

Though he goes unnoticed until he is right before you, V, now makes his entrance. No sound comes from him as he moves and by doing so he even catches Elysriel by surprise.

As though he had wanted to say something he instead stops. His eyes peering over to Casimir's lifeless body, then to Ana and Ryker, then to Elysriel. "... the hell?...."

Ryker looks to V whilst still holding Ana in his grasp.

"V... A devilish creature took control of Ana's and my mind... I broke free from the influence before I did any damage. But, Ana couldn't." Ryker looks over twards Casamir's lifeless body.

"I... I couldn't stop her in time... I don't know if she's free of its influence yet or not."
Ryker then waits for a response from Ana.

Ana slumps in Ryker's grip, becoming nothing more than dead-weight as the stress and confusion of the last few moments got to her, her body begins to shake with minute sobs. Tears streamed from her eyes, but one look would tell you it was from helpless outrage.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Not gonna bother taking away dex, since his goes down the same amount and cancels out.

"Let go of me!"Then with a sudden jerk, she manages to slip away from Ryker, only to withdraw into a corner and stoop to the floor with her arms around her knees and head down. "Just leave me alone.." Her voice shook as she added that last bit, on the edge of full on screaming mode.
