Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Euphemia you are up and remember to roll 1d3 bralani azatas that appear. You may want the creature to cast a cure serious wounds on Aurelio, if you get more than 1 you can double the healing fun. Just a suggestion.

Wall of Stone at my level is 3 inches thick. Can I use it to seperate Aurelio and the Barbed Devil? So there can be some emergency healing. I'll ping Euphemia.

RD 5: Eccardian (since this is a separate battle I'll go ahead and take this action)

Eccarrdian:

The tiefling sneers at the unholy man in front of him then he calls upon the last touch attack of his rapier, 'Drink his health and lets be done with this bastard."

rapier of punctuting, Icrit, TA: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30;damage improved vital: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 5, 4) + 10 = 20;sneak: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 3, 1) = 14 plus 5 bleed

TA, constitution damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The tip of the fine blade finds a kink in the pally's armor and the blade glows and infernal red as it sucks the man's life away.

He holds back any further action readying for attack.

Wall of Stone at my level is 3 inches thick. Can I use it to seperate Aurelio and the Barbed Devil? So there can be some emergency healing. I'll ping Euphemia.

Creative I'll let you do that.

Gerard is determined to get behind the Devil-kin. Come, knave... Let's dance.

The rogue nearly runs up the vertical plane, defying the fabric in an effort to bypass the hellion's defenses.

Acrobatics, tumble: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50

A dagger slips into Gerard's hand with mercurial ease. The rogue does not waste time, putting it to use.

atk, dist dagger +2, wf, aff, flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 27
dmg, dist dagger +2, aff, sneak: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 7d8 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + (7, 1, 7, 2, 5, 3, 8) = 40

Too hell with gravity!

Andrea casts Wall of Stone in between Aurelio and the devil, keeping the sharp blades away from the fighter's prone form for just a few momments more.

Euphemia! We need to get Aurelio back up!

Gerard, Don't forget your +1 Bless and Blessing of Fervor for future referance. Plus your Aura of Justice for smite damage

Gerard defied the law of gravity as he finally succeeded in his tumble. Although he was so overjoyed at getting behind his nemesis he completely missed his opponent.

RD 6: Initiative order:

Mel - hit Aurelio who is unconscious
Euphemia -
Eccarrdian - hit Daniel and con damage
Gerard - finally flanks
Aurelio -
Daniel -
Andrea - Wall of stone

Ok. So his attack did 20 damage. Losing 3 Con takes my score from 14 to 11 so 2hp per level. 46 damage total. Leaving DANIEL with 37HP

That is correct Daniel. This was Eccarrdian's last TA so he did not do sneak damage. The sneak damage applies when he successfully hits feints.

Swift LOH: 6d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 4, 2, 6) + 12 = 38
Daniel is at 68hp and has a FLANK

Yes. It will be over soon. Praise IMOEDAE!

The paladin was in better shape than Gerard, who risked his life for the flank.
He needed to kill Eccardian.

Blessing of Fervor extra attack, Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 23 + 1 + 2 = 38
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 34

1st Iterative Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 23 + 1 + 2 = 29
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 33

2nd Iterative, Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 37
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 31

3rd Iterative, Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 30
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 31

Euphemia completes her summoning spell with a loud cackle, bringing 1d3 ⇒ 3 Bralani Azatas into existence .

She issues a command in celestial for two of them to attend to Aurelio's wounds and one to bolster its defenses and menace the devil.

2 cure serious wounds CL 6. It's a touch spell and these are fliers, so they'll charge it up away and fly up to avoid aOos.
3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 4, 8) + 6 = 26 and 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 4, 8) + 6 = 26 healing to Aurelio... is this weird to you?
Edit: And the mirror images for the next guy:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cool move Em.

I'll take your seat and mount your horns as trophy... Dismantle everything you've created.

Pity, such effort... and yet epic failure.

Two of Daniel's attacks hit for 65 HP of damage. Hell's spawn is injured but still fighting on.

Euphemia's celestial aid arrives jumping into the fire.

RD 7 Map

I put a wall between Mel and Aurelio. I placed three of the size mirror images in the same square. Placing all 6 would have make it look to busy.

Me and Gerard are online. Let's do this.

I'll circle back to Mel then.

RD 7: Eccarrdian:

The injured council leader jukes to his left and then to the right attempting to feint Daniel:
improved feint bluff: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

daniel's DC is 22 (10+BAB 13+Wis mod (-1) 22

If successful you loose your Dex bonus (3 for Daniel and are Flat footed)

the half orc's eyes widen in disbelief as the rapier tries to find an opening on the flat footed paladin:

rapier of punctuting, Icrit, TA: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23;damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16;sneak: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 1, 1) = 13 plus 5 bleed

He did not vital strike and is holding actions back to parry.

RD 7: Mel

The cleric of Mammon uses the time with the wall to cast defensively,

cast defensively and teleport: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Phem's summoned creature communicates that the devil has teleported away.

RD 7: Eccarrdian:

The injured council leader jukes to his left and then to the right attempting to feint Daniel:

daniel's DC is 22 (10+BAB 13+Wis mod (-1) 22

If successful you loose your Dex bonus (3 for Daniel and are Flat footed)

the half orc's eyes widen in disbelief as the rapier tries to find an opening on the flat footed paladin:

He did not vital strike and is holding actions back to parry.

I have called this a hit at the moment but wasn't he out of touch attacks? 2 for Gerard and one for me last round? Please allow me to retcon if Gerard's action kills him before me.

The paladin takes the hit and stands firm, calling on his goddess to again, bolster his wounds.
Swift LOH: 6d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 1, 4, 6) + 12 = 38

He then full attacks taking advantage that the tiefling was choosing to fight a war of attrition.
The first hit is a great downward smash that the Tiefling manages to partially dodge, a tad slower and he would have been split in two.
Bonus Blessing of Fervor, Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 23 + 1 + 2 = 41
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 27

The second is a reversal that lacks power as he pulls the heavy Greatsword in close...
1st Iterative Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 23 + 1 + 2 = 28
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 27

For a lunging strike that catches Eccardian's armor.
2nd Iterative Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 40
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 33

The last hit was a miss but the Tiefling's wounds were amassing.
3rd Iterative Blessing of the watch, Flank: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 21
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (1, 6) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 30

confirm crit?: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 31
2 hand, Powerful Justice: 2d6 + 3 + 7 + 13 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 + 7 + 13 = 29

Another 60 damage. He used his move action to Feint
It is nearly over. You have lost.
The words were not a taunt just a fact.
If it brings you comfort, I acknowledge your skill exceeds my own. But your faith does not.

I did not TA with the rapier, I forgot to delete the TA from the attack description. That is why he feinted you to see if he can catch you FF. obviously if he had TA remaining he would not try to get you flat footed.

the weapon is out of TA for the day.

Freaking sweet. My flat footed AC is 27. He missed. Daniel was at 68 and after LOH is 106. That is as high as he can go with the CON damage he took.

The paladin's sword slices through Eccardian like butter. The arch-nemesis splatters against the close confines of the hall, his spawn blood freely flowing as he drops to the ground. There is brief moment of quiet then the area is consumed in a visage of unholy hellfire that resembles the archdevil himself, as he reaches up and consumes his unworthy son and his equipment.

I pray that you possess the will to keep your sanity, Eccardian. You could have been so much more.....where is Andrea? EM?
The paladin motions for Gerard to step forward so he may heal him, then they needed to find their friends.

RD 7: Initiative order:

Mel - teleported

Eccarrdian - attacked but missed

Ugh. Andrea is streamig blood from countless wounds and spits out a glob of bloody phlegm. Looks like I won't be eating solid food for a while. she says with dark humor as she holds hand over the gaping wound in her gut.

Channel Versitile Heal to heal myself and Aurelio in a line as well as Euphemia if she is hurt
Heal: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2, 4, 6, 2, 4, 1) = 25

"The devil has ESCAPED!" Euphemia rages in the harshest terms, though the wall probably prevented the sound from travelling too far.
She faces the wall and calls out to her man "on the outside"(whom she calls by name as Winterly Gust) to go find Gerard and Daniel and tail them back.
Meanwhile, she urges the other one to continue improving Aurelio's condition and another to attend to Andrea.

Aurelio:3d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7, 8) + 6 = 25 Andrea:3d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) + 6 = 16

"Well done."
Edit:
Euphemia makes a strained face and uses her healing hex on Andrea, just to top her off.

2d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 = 14

RD 7: Initiative order:

Mel - teleported
Euphemia - heal
Eccarrdian - attacked but missed

Andrea - channel 25 HP regained for Aurelio, Phem and Andrea

*Cough* Thank you, I look like I hugged a Dire Hedgehog

Up 70 75 hp now

DMPC Aurelio.

The downed warrior stands up, then reaches down to pick-up his weapon. "Life was easier at the Wall." He nods his appreciation to the cleric and the summoned creatures and sighs.

He was healed: RD 6 - 52 HP (summoned creatures); RD 7 25 HP (Andrea) and 41 HP (summoned creatures) total healed 118 Hp (but he was negative 6)

He quaffs a potion:

csw: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 10 = 22

So he is now full strength.

RD 8: Initiative order:

Phem you are up...

"Do you sense the devil now?"Euphemia asks her summons, only to have them stare at her blankly.
"Please prepare for his return, just in case."

The creatures nod and cast blur on themselves.

Euphemia, meanwhile, bites her thumb until it bleeds to cast False Life.
1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Temp hp.

You summoned creatures do not see the barbed devil, Mel. although they do come in contact with Daniel and Gerard.

Gerard recognizes the Azata for what they are... He speaks in Celestial. We are friends. Can you take us to the others? Se who summoned you...

Easier on the wall? If you hate this place now, you should have been a year ago for the Six-Fold trials. You don't know hate until you run through acid for the pleasure of drunken nobles. we need to regroup with Gerard and Daniel. I will dismiss the wall. Andrea dismisses the Wall of Stone (standard) and then draws a potion of CMW from her haversack(move)

"That won't be difficult, but we had assumed you knew where they were."
The azata speaking chuckles and leads the paladin and rogue back to the others.

Frank pokes his head out of his satchel, sneezes at all being well, and dives back inside.

Andrea receives a morale boost from seeing Frank and feels much better.

Heavens to Betsy, I spend some time with family on a holiday and y'all go full throttle. Does Aurelio still have fly active?

Aurelio groans as the magical healing courses through him, fast knitting wounds that should have left him spiraling down to death.

I'm going to chop that devil into tiny bits and use its corpse to fertilize my lawn.

I believe you have a few rounds left

The paladin casts DETECT EVIL and maintains it as they work there way back to their allies.
Keep and eye out for stairs up, Gerard. And where is Chammerday and her paragon for that matter? Let's not separate again.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Even after catching your breath for a few minutes you still have several minutes left on the fly spell Aurelio. Daniel and Gerard are back with you now, Daniel's fly spell has a little bit less time remaining.

One thing you notice is a shaft off the tunnel that leads up towards the chest and head of the statue. (W 3 on the map).

Map

You have not seen Chammedy since the battle began.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 7) + 3 = 17

Let us head up the ladder then. The barbed devil has fled somewhere.

Suggest Gerard,Daniel,Andrea,Eupgemia and Aurelio again.

Andrea also uses her Vindicator's Shield again.

Who here is especially wounded so I can help you?

Aurelio grunts and looks at the summoned creatures. "They can stay on the rear duty, that thing nearly killed me twice so I'm up front with Daniel."

Initiative Order:

Mel
Euphemia
Aurelio
Daniel
Andrea
Gerard

RD 1

The heroes get out of the latter in the narrowly carved out room. There is another ladder around the bend leading to the next level - perhaps the head. When you check to see if the floor is clear you can see two carcasses flayed and attacked to the wall. You instinct tells you that this is Mel's chamber. Standing there waiting is the cleric of mammon, most of his wounds have been knitted closed and his barbs look ready for battle.

The paladin feels better and pairs with Aurelio.
Stay close everyone. I will grant you all Imoedae's power when we find him
