At you all felt a rumbling through your feet.
Straight through the weakened wall on your left at the top of the stairs crashed a ten foot tall, ten foot wide looking half bull, half man, and all feindish creature.
Charging through the wall, obliterating the Dancing Lights ghost, he hit the exterior wall on your right with a tremendous crash! Hard enough to push one of the one ton blocks out an inch.
Growling demonically, the bull-man wrenched his horns free from the wall and turn his bloodshot eyes down in your direction.

You note that he has the superior position, fully blocking the top of the stairway and able to attack down the stairs. You also realize he's also holding a Large Greataxe.


Round 1______________________

TACTICAL OVERVIEW
The stairway is Difficult Terrain.

Upon seeing the monster break through the wall, Thetin thrusts Radiance in front of him shouting a challenge in Celstial. A faint web of light radiates around him. He then moves forward towards the creature.

standard action: use a lay on hands to activate shared defense (give +1 to AC, CMD and saving throws to all adjacent allies for 3 rounds).
move action: move forward up stairs. AoO on difficult terrain.

Carilain draws on all his, and Grimstar's arcane energy to maximize his power. Then he moves in, over the rubble and up the stair, to attack.

Draws on arcane pool(swift action), Draws on blackblade pool (free action), moves 2 squares in difficult terrain (possibly provoking AoOs), Takes a 2-handed grip (free action), attacks. I've been figuring that arcane pool is only +1 to hit. After re-reading the rules, I' pretty sure it should apply to both to hit, and damage. New numbers reflect this, as well as Grimstar's pool.

Grimstar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Carilain's AC is 20 thanks to Thetin's shared defense.

Kyra quickly casts a spell upon the minotaur's weapon in hopes that it might slip free from its grasp!

Standard Action - Casting Grease upon the axe. Reflex DC 14 or it immediately drops the weapon and must attempt a new saving throw every time it attempts to pick up the weapon.


Female Tengu Swordmaster Rogue 7 Trickster 1 |63/63 hp| AC (17), T (12), FF (15)** Uncanny Dodge|Fort +4, Ref +12, Wil +5| CMD 22

How much space is above this large Minotaur. Is it possible to climb over it with spiderclimb?

Switching to dragon stance as her full round action.


The space directly above the minotaur is about another ten feet above its 12 foot height. The height of the stairway space is only 10 feet, until it opens out where the minotaur is.
You can climb the walls/ceiling, but you won't be out of reach of the big guy.

Sarenrae protect your humble servant so that I might aid my allies in the destruction of this evil wicked foe.

He spoke lowly praying for the magic of his divine patron to protect him casting Sanctuary Will save DC14 if a fail the minotaur can not attack me.

He moved forward closer to the beast.

next round going to try and flank the foe by sneaking under his legs or something :) Moving to C 10?


Female Tengu Swordmaster Rogue 7 Trickster 1 |63/63 hp| AC (17), T (12), FF (15)** Uncanny Dodge|Fort +4, Ref +12, Wil +5| CMD 22

Heh, yeah that's what the invisibility is for or acrobatics. If i am invisible and he doesn't have a way to see me I can sneak through his legs too I guess. As for sneaking under his legs that would be acrobatics -- Move through an enemy's space 5 + opponent's Combat Maneuver Defense

I considered obscuring mist, but he's a melee fighter. Didn't want to block our own ranged shooting.


Round 1______________________

Thetin Dorvas______
standard action: use a lay on hands to activate shared defense (give +1 to AC, CMD and saving throws to all adjacent allies for 3 rounds).
move action: move forward up stairs. AoO on difficult terrain.
As Thetin moved forward, the minotaur saw the movement and lashed out at him with its greataxe.
greataxe AoO: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 = 31 for a possible 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) + 9 + 1 = 22 slashing damage.

He let out a silent prayer to his goddess, converting the Aid spell he had previously memorized and turning into healing energies which he transferred onto Sir Thetin as he passed by. He was putting faith that the goddess would not let the creature strike him down.
He moved forward trying to duck down and under the creatures reach to flank behind it.

cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 5) + 4 = 16

AS a reminder the Sanctuary spell is active, the big bad needs to pass an DC will save to be able to attack Kelden. attempting to move to C 14

Well, that knocks Carilain out. Grease is SR: No, btw.


Female Tengu Swordmaster Rogue 7 Trickster 1 |63/63 hp| AC (17), T (12), FF (15)** Uncanny Dodge|Fort +4, Ref +12, Wil +5| CMD 22

Kelden I think Thetin got missed Carilain is the one who dropped. Ill post after work and GM, is it possible to know if the Minotaur swung on Kelden because it effects what I do. If not then Ill work the other plan.

oh man my apologies i meant Caralain not thetin. Not sure why i crossed the two up qould it be possible to edit my actions to be healing up Caralain some not Thetin who i think is good?


Female Half-Elf (Keleshite) Dawnflower Dervish 6 / Evangelist 2 / Champion 2 | HP 61/73 | AC 24 | T 16 | FF 18 | CMD 24 | Fort +7 | Ref +12 | Will +7 | Init +7 | Perc +15 | Bardic Per 19/24 | MP - 5/7 | LP - 2/2 | Spells: 1st - 5/5; 2nd - 4/4; 3rd - 1/2

Definitely need to see what happens with that Grease spell before we proceed any further. Thank you for pointing that out for me, Carilain! If he fails his Reflex save, then some of those attacks won't happen.

Thetin uses a lay on hands on himself. LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10. He then activates his smite on the monster and strikes. Thetin's AC is 28 vs this guy

attack: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 = 10


There is a challenge on the field...

Upon further review, the Grease spell is NOT affected by Spell Resistance.
The Feindish Minotaur must save to keep ahold of his weapon.
Ref save DC14 to keep weapon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 The save is good! The actions proceed as listed.

Also, as Kelden dove between the minotaurs legs...
the minotaur moved as to make an AoO…
Will save vs Sanctuary DC14: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 The save is good! The minotaur will make an AoO against Kelden.


Female Tengu Swordmaster Rogue 7 Trickster 1 |63/63 hp| AC (17), T (12), FF (15)** Uncanny Dodge|Fort +4, Ref +12, Wil +5| CMD 22

Kankai would go to move also since the stairs no longer counted as difficult terrain for her. Moving to C15 to also flank moving into a full defensive stance.

AC 22

Well, I thought I could take Carilain's position, but then I realized he's conscious with the healing. There's really not much Kyra can do at this point...

Kyra draws our bow and puts an arrow to the string, hoping that her aim will be true and not strike her companions.

Move Action - Draw shortbow. Standard Action - Attack minotaur.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5


Round 2_________________
The Grease spell made the Minotaur’s axe slip a bit, but the Minotaur just took a stronger grip and he’s OK now.

Kelden Sunblade_______
Kelden healed Carilain 16 before he moved forward trying to duck down and under the creatures reach to flank behind it.
Kelden was protected by his Sanctuary spell, and the creature hesitated, but it’s will overpowered the spell and his greataxe swept around to attack Kelden!
Greataxe AoO vs Kelden: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 = 32 for a possible 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 9 + 1 = 21 slashing damage.
...Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 1 = 30 for a possible extra 6d6 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3) + 18 + 2 = 38 slashing damage.

(npc) Carilain Riveroak______
Hit hard by the Minotaur’s axe last round, Carilain took a two handed grip and swung back! (This time with flanking.)
Grimstar attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 24 Hit! The black blade bites deep for 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 black blade slashing damage.
Carilain's AC is 20 thanks to Thetin's shared defense.

Thetin Dorvas______
Thetin uses a lay on hands on himself. LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10. He then activates his smite on the monster and strikes. Thetin's AC is 28 vs this guy
But he missed horribly.

Kankai the White______
Kankai would go to move also since the stairs no longer counted as difficult terrain for her. Moving to C15 to also flank moving into a full defensive stance. (AC 22)
His powerful swing on Kelden left Kankai easily able to dive through the Minotaurs legs to reach the other side.

Kyra Greenstar______
Kyra draws our bow and puts an arrow to the string, hoping that her aim will be true and not strike her companions.
But she missed.

(npc) Alorah_____
Alorah cranks back her heavy crossbow.

ENEMIES______________________
The Minotaur bellowed and attacked again!
greataxe attack vs Thetin: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 = 32 Hit! for 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 6) + 9 + 1 = 22 slashing damage.
...Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 1 = 23 for a possible extra 6d6 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3) + 18 + 2 = 42 slashing damage.

greataxe attack vs Carilain: 13 + 6 + 1 = 20 Hit! for 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 6) + 9 + 1 = 21 slashing damage.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Kankai felt the warm spray of blood as she passed Kelden as he fell. "Gods of light have mercy and catch his soul on white wings."

Gripping the holy sword in her hands she whispered. "Sword it is time to awaken and smite this fiend for the world depends on it." Taking a 5ft step to move her to flank the beast as she lunged for its back putting all her weight into it.

Atk: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

The horror of watching Kelden butchered leaves Alorah shaking, her hands nowhere near steady enough to aim properly.

Seeing Kelden suddenly cut down in a shower of blood causes Kyra to let out a scream of horror! Immediately following that, her companion Carilain also goes down! She moves to drop her bow and suddenly engage the minotaur in melee, but something whispers to her... a voice so faint... 'The arrow...' Kyra recalls the powerful arrow they found recently. She snatches it from her quiver as she inadvertently slips into her battle dance, a calm overcomes her senses and she shifts over a step to utilize the opening where Carilain once stood. It was almost as if it was all lining up... she imbues the arrow with some of her own magical essence before letting it fly towards the rampaging demon!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Move Action - Activate Battle Dance. Free Action - 5' step into C8 to avoid the minotaur getting a Soft Cover bonus from Thetin. Swift Action - Arcane Strike on the bow to grant Magic property and +1 damage. Standard Action - Attack the minotaur with a -4 penalty for firing into melee! (And prey that hits....)

Thetin can only watch in horror as Kelden is cut down in front of him. The minotaur follows up with an attack that nearly splits Thetin's head in two, instead deflecting off his tower shield and through his shoulder pauldron. His blood splatters across the ground, joining the ever increase pool from his fallen comrades.

He then tries to staunch his wound with a lay on hands 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7. Seeing Carilain fall as well Thetin belows in Celestial at the monster to try and gain its full attention diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12, but is interrupted by all the blood he is coughing up. He then swings at it with Radiance.

Round 3_________

Kankai the White__________
Gripping the holy sword in her hands she whispered. "Sword it is time to awaken and smite this fiend for the world depends on it." Taking a 5ft step to move her to flank the beast as she lunged for its back putting all her weight into it.
The fiendish minotaur stiffened and screamed as the sword cut through it’s body like a hot knife through butter.

Alorah___________
The horror of watching Kelden butchered leaves Alorah shaking, her hands nowhere near steady enough to aim properly. And she missed wide.

Kyra Greenstar______
She moves to drop her bow and suddenly engage the minotaur in melee, but something whispers to her... a voice so faint...
'The arrow...'
Kyra recalls the powerful arrow they found recently. She snatches it from her quiver as she inadvertently slips into her battle dance, a calm overcomes her senses and she shifts over a step to utilize the opening where Carilain once stood. It was almost as if it was all lining up... she imbues the arrow with some of her own magical essence before letting it fly towards the rampaging demon!
The arrow hit, jutting out most of its length. Ignoring it, the Minotaur wound up for another crack at Thetin.
Then, it stiffened as it jolted to a stop.
The large greataxe slid from its grip and clanged to the floor. It slowly toppled forward to crash down on the stairway, sliding down until it hit the landing utterly lifeless.

This fight is over.


Searching it's body, you find:
Large Greataxe, Masterwork
Large armored Kilt +1
1849 silver pieces
pink diamond (+-7000 gp)
3x Potion Cure Moderate Wounds
1x Potion Lesser Restoration
a number of ivory figurines on his belt of cruel and disturbing imagery a large horn (seems enchanted)


There is nothing to be done for Kelden unfortunately; he was neatly bisected by the great axe.
After you take the time to search the body, heal up and do whatever else to prep, you look out from the top of the stairs...

At the top of the stairway...

At the top of the stairs, a wide hall stretches for thirty feet before ending in a door.
Two alcoves on both sides of the hall hold torches that burn with white light. Each torch illuminates a pedestal, on each of which rests a battered and broken steel helm.

As soon as the minotaur falls to the ground, Kyra drops her bow and rushes to Kelden to see if there is anything to be done. Tears stream down her face as she sees the nature of his injury. She kneels next to him, gingerly she closes his eyes and kisses his brow. "You shall be avenged, brother, I promise you. You deserved better than this." She fights to hold break the emotions that threaten to break her will. She stands and looks at the others with a cold fury. "Let us finish what we can here to do. I will give no quarters. No prisoners will be taken. The Dawnflower demands vengeance and it shall be had."

She recovers her bow and blade before preparing to proceed. She takes the rod from Kelden's body and slips into her belt.

Thetin pulls one of the potions off the minotaur's corpse and downs itPoCMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12. He then hurls the empty glass bottle down the stairs as hard as he can, resisting the urge to scream in fury. As tears sting his eyes, images of all the people he's failed to protect the last few days plays through his mind along side the monsters who killed them.

"No mercy for the merciless." Thetin says, nodding to Kyra and her no quarters comment.

He then steps over to Kelden's body and begins wrapping it his bedroll. Once finished he hefts the body over his sholder, "I am not leaving anyone behind to be turned into one of those things we fought earlier." Thetin will leave kelden's body next to the door of any new room before going in and retrieve it once the room has been cleared. Will also drop it immediately as a free action at the start of any combat if carrying said body.

He will then wait for everyone else to prepare and then take front position moving into the next room.


The torches lighting the pedestals are both everburning torches, while the mangled helms on display were, until recently, the helms of the first two crusaders confirmed to have died in the First Crusade.
Both of the helms have been smashed and then artfully rearranged in a degrading mound of filth.

When you approach the door, you can hear the mumbling of a voice behind it. The door itself seems to be closed and locked.

How do you arrange your positions in front of the door?

Kelden:

You stand over your body as your companions fruitlessly try to fit both halves back together again.
Everything seems a silvery grey, except for a web of repulsive greasy blue black that seems to originate beyond the East wall.
You can move now, at a walking pace. Walls and other physical objects seem to offer little resistance.
You can walk around if you want.

Kankai would pluck on of her still white feathers and attaches it to Kelden's clothes.

"May the gods of Light and good see your soul as pure white as this feather." Her expressionless face didn't give away what she was thinking.

Hearing the mumbling she would see the helms and swears to remove them from the filth and have them restored in some way.

Keeping an eye out for traps and the like as she examines the door and pulls out her lockpicks to get to work as she moves to unlock it if they don't have a key. Don't remember if we picked on up so ill role incase

She will wait until everyone is in position. She will take K7 position

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Kankai fumbled with his picks a little, wasting time extracting one from where he dropped it inside the lock plate.

Kankai:
You hear the sounds of a woman muttering a vile prayer (a summoning maybe?). You also detect the gorge rising odor of a Dretch.


Female Tengu Swordmaster Rogue 7 Trickster 1 |63/63 hp| AC (17), T (12), FF (15)** Uncanny Dodge|Fort +4, Ref +12, Wil +5| CMD 22

Kankai would signal them holding up two fingers and would wave a hand in front of her beak then to the holy sword she was carrying. Trying at the lock again.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20


The lock trips open with a satisfying *click*.

The lock is open, but the door is still not opening. From the tingly feeling in your hands as you touch the door, you suspect its under the effect of a basic Hold Portal.
You'll need to either counterspell it, dispell it, or break it with raw muscle (strength check) or break it (CMB with a big weapon).

Speaking quietly. "The door is being held with a hold portal spell. Either we counterspell it, dispel it or break open the door with strength or weapon."

Kyra looks to the others. "I have no such skills with magic. I could try to break in the door, but perhaps Alorah would have better luck?"

"Unfortunately though I am aware of the kind of magic that can dispel the spells of others, such is currently beyond my power." Alorah replies.

His last thought was of the need to get behind the beast, to flank their foe and take it down quickly before its axe killed one of them. Never once did he think it would be able to strike him, not with the goddess shielding him....Then he felt warmth. A warmth he hadnt felt since the first day where he took up being a cleric of the Dawnflower.

He could feel the sunlight on his face, the warmth pervaded his body... he was home. He sat up confused. Warm sand beneath his fingers where it shouldnt be, a warmer breeze in the air. His eyes widened in horror when he realized where he was... and it wasnt where he should be. Images flashed before his mind, His desperate crawl between the beasts legs and its axe.... its huge axe came down hard.

He tried to shut his eyes but he could still see the blade sinking into his back spliting him almost in two. His armor barely even slowed the blow. He could see the horror in his sister in faith's features, he could almost feel her hurting. And then without warning he felt something pulling on him tugging him.... his vision blurred and he stood there amongst his companions.

Their voices seemed muted to him and he tried to reach out to touch Kyra's face, to wipe away her tears but his hand went through her. He watched stangely as they continued on, a soft smile alit on his face as they carefully moved his mortal remains with them carefully. They were truly good folk. He followed as they moved.

He paused watching as they moved and readied themselves against the door. Something with the door was stopping them.. He wondered if it would stop him as well. He strode forward walking (or trying to) through the doors.

Thetin drops Kelden's body by the door and then grabs the large greataxe from the minotaur's body. He waits for everyone to show they are ready. He then turns to the door and swings as hard as he can with both hands.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 7
damage: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) + 6 = 19

what is the door made out of?


Kelden:

Feeling like plunge into quicksand, you slowly force yourself through the doors and into the wardstone chamber.
The walls and floor are only misty suggestions in the silvery mists. But in the center is a web of ugly razor vines of black energy ten feet wide wrapped about a radiant sphere of supernal light. The exact center is so bright you cannot see it directly, but it tugs at you with the promise of... home. But the black energy cage is painful to see, and repellent to your spirit.
Closer to hand is a cluster of ugly purple black blights on the universe in several squat humanoid forms. "Dretches" you think you heard them referred to; the least demons from the Abyss.
And just beyond them, an ordinary human woman's form; but she is wound about with the ugly purple/black radiance. Webs of them are wound about her and throughout the room. Spells perhaps?
The Dretches become agitated as they look around.
The woman pauses in her spellcasting. "Is someone there?" She asked aloud.


At this moment Thetin smashes the doors open, leaving him nose to nose with two dretches!

First a blast of Fear rolls over your party. You are panicked for 8 rounds unless you make a Will save DC15 to mitigate that to Shaken 1 round.

At the same time, the dretches attack!

Dretch 1 claw 1 vs Thetin: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7 slashing damage.
Dretch 1 claw 2 vs Thetin: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 24 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7 slashing damage.
Dretch 1 bite vs Thetin: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4 piercing damage.

Dretch 1 claw 1 vs Kankai: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5 slashing damage.
Dretch 1 claw 2 vs Kankai: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6 slashing damage.
Dretch 1 bite vs Kankai: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25 for a possible 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4 piercing damage.
