Special Defences, please.

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Siolad ends up taking the full force of the glabrezu demon's power. "AAACCKK!"

Round 2: Actions
Standard Action: Cast Extended haste

The elf starts casting a spell to increase the speed of his allies. "That's a glabrezu. One of the more powerful demons in existence..."

Standard demonic resistances (Immune electricity, poison; Resist acid, cold, and fire 10. Significant resistance to magic in general as well as non-blessed weapons.

Ensu?

Ensu’s being real life’d right now apparently. NPCing shall commence.

Ensu squeaks in surprise at the sight of the horrific demon and then calls down his uncaring god’s blessing on the party. Blessing of Fervor.

Irritated by the tiny mortals hacking at its legs, the glabrezu strikes back, tearing at Pirknok and Jessamy with its claws and monstrous maw.

The party is up.

Krojun continues his litany and charges, taking a power-attack boosted charge! CHARGE!: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 27 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 13 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 electrical damage!

Ow...

HP: 195-92 = 103

Pirknok roars again, dodging to the side and swinging his katana ferociously. Dorf will take the +2 to Attacks/AC/Reflex.

Angry Hack! (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire): 1d20 + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 27

Damage: 1d8 + 23 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 23 + 4 + 2 = 34

Including +4 damage for targets with SLAs.

Jessamy, apparently out of practice after so long without a fight, takes a couple vicious claw wounds, her face growing pale as blood loss suddenly threatens to end her life.

Nonetheless, as Pirknok pointed out, she's a hero, and she steps forward Move to AB-11; doesn't look like she was moved up to AB-11 last round and lays into the demon.

I think that can get us into a flank; if not, subtract 4 from the to-hit rolls

+1 mithril short sword (TWF, flanking with Pirknok): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 23

Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3) = 14

I would so have burned these dice ages ago if they weren't virtual...

AoO vs Krojun: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27
Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (8, 3) + 12 = 23

Despite the ferocity of their attacks, the huge demon manages to turn all of the heroes attacks aside except one blow from Pirknok which opens a wide gash in its leg.

Siolad and Ensu are up.

Round 2: Actions
Full-Round Action: Start casting Summon Monster VI

Siolad concentrates on his magic, reaching out and tugging on reality's strings to bring a being of celestial might to the party's side...

Seeing his friends in peril, Ensu releases a burst of uncaring, and yet still soothing, light.

Channel: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 4, 1, 2) + 1 = 21

Unafraid of whatever magics Siolad's working, the huge demon continues to tear at the heroic front line.

Pinch vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34
Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 7) + 12 = 24

Bite vs Krojun: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

The party is up.

"Is that the best you got?" Jessamy taunts as she ducks under the blows directed at her.

She wishes she felt better, so she could really put this thing down.

+1 mithril short sword (TWF, flanking with Pirknok): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 34

Will: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

HP: 70/195

Pirknok steps over to coordinate his efforts with Jess', ignoring the vague feeling of his life-force dripping out the many wounds that mar his body. With a mighty growl, he swings at the creature again!

Boop (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire): 1d20 + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 34

HP 126/140

Krojun feels filthy as the thing's teeth and mouth bite down on him. He shudders and continues his litany of inspiration as he swings twice!

Shocking Axe: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 electrical!
Shocking Axe: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 electrical!

Kill it, kill it!

Round 3: Actions
Standard Action: Complete summoning of Lillend Azata in AA-15

Siolad's eyes open as his spell completes. A chorus of holy hymns and light appears next to the glabrezu, coalescing into a lillend azata of great beauty and anger.

"We require your assistance again--this foul demonic abomination means us harm! Please, lend us your strength!"

If Allowed:

The azata hears Siolad's plea, and strikes at the glabrezu with fury.

Longsword Attack 1 *Inspired*: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 = 27
Damage?: 2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 8 + 2 = 21

Longsword Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10

Tail Slap: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Would the azata's attacks be able to bypass the glabrezu's DR?

Looks like you'll need to DMPC Ensu again...

Should be the last time for a while, though — heard from him just yesterday.

I am back..less blood sugar and less blood pressure, which are good. I'll update in the discussion thread.

Let me count the HP loss given to Ensu by Pirknok, since the rings are still intact, no?

Oh, I forgot about that.

Welcome back Ensu! Yes, Siolad, since the azata has DR/evil its attack count as good.

Seeing the demon's overwhelming power getting the better of his friends, Ensu channels divine power again.

Channel: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 6, 2, 4) + 1 = 21

The glabrezu, amused by the gnome's efforts, continues its rampage as the party's bound off its chitinous hide with minimal results.

Pinch vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37
Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (6, 6) + 12 = 24

Pinch vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33
Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 8) + 12 = 24

Claw vs Jessamy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Claw vs Jessamy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Bite vs Krojun: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

The party is up.

Forgetful Dwarf, check my math, half the damage to me is 53, HP? Add the 42, in channel, meaning I am down 11, My channel has a DC 19, if you are raging, so..yeah

Knowledge Planes, just cuz: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Taking AC +2 from BoF

Ensu also begins summoning an ally Summon Monster 5, Level 4 list, Archon Hound, roll below

Number of Level 4: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Jessamy winces as the creature manages to hit her, despite her defensive stance.

Gritting her teeth, even as bleed pours from the gaping wounds, she stabs again and again at the creature.

+1 mithril short sword (TWF, flanking with Pirknok): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 6 = 12
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1) = 12

Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 3, 4, 2) = 18

Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 1, 3, 4) = 17

+1 mithril short sword (AoO if Pirknok hits, from opportunist): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 36
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 6 = 10
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 2, 2, 1) = 14

Crit? No... :(: 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 6 = 12

Will: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
Yay, I failed!!

Dorf took a total of 148 before this last round of attacks on him (74 Dorf, 74 Ensu), and healed 10 from the first channel. This last round of attacks did 44 more (22 Dorf, 22 Ensu), and Dorf healed 21 from the channel. Hurray for rolling a 1!

HP: 65/195

Pirknok keeps whaling away at the thing, his anger leaving no room for the fear that he and his friends may not survive much longer.

Slish (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire, Outflank): 1d20 + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 48
Confirm: 1d20 + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 39
Damage: 2d8 + 23 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 5) + 23 + 4 + 8 = 42
I believe a crit triggers an AoO for Jess.

Slash (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire, Outflank): 1d20 + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 22 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 42
Damage: 1d8 + 23 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 23 + 2 + 4 = 30

Sloosh (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire, Outflank): 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 23 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 23 + 2 + 4 = 37

Slish (rage, PA, haste, BoF, inspire, Outflank): 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 25

+1 mithril short sword (AoO from Pirknok critting; I think this is OK even though Opportunist also gave her an AoO, especially since she has Combat Reflexes): 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 4 - 1 = 31
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 6 = 11
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3) = 15

HP 112/140

Krojun grits his teeth and keeps chanting!

CHOP!: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 = 25 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 and 1d6 ⇒ 4 electricity!
CHOP!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 and 1d6 ⇒ 1 electricity!

Perhaps capitalizing on the demon's hubris, the heroes find gaps in its foul chitinous hide and score a handful of telling blows. Irritated at how quickly the tide has turned against it, the demons snarls and prepares another blast of unholy power.

Siolad and friend are up.

Round 4: Actions
Full-Round Action: Throw telekinetic fists at Glabrezu

Siolad aims a pair of magical fists at the demon and lets them fly!

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Vs. Spell Resistance?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Vs. Spell Resistance?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The azata raises her sword and strikes again!

Sword Attack *Flanking*: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13

Sword Attack *Flanking*: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14
Crit Damage?: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13

Tail Slap *Flanking*: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20
Damage?: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

It turns out the demon was a lot more hurt than I'd thought. Oops!

Siolad's bursts of force seem to little more than annoy the huge demon but they provide just the distraction his conjured outsider needs to neatly sever the beast's hideous head. The brute's body slumps to the ground very dead.

"Stupid demon," Jessamy whines, kicking its body as she continues to bleed badly, though finally is able to get the contents of her stomach under control.

She looks more carefully around the room, though the pain of her wounds prove distracting.

Description from pre-fight: Although portions of this cathedral have collapsed, leaving mounds of rubble on the floor and crumbling walls, the chamber retains its sense of menacing awe. Four black stone pillars support the arched roof forty feet above, and on the floor between them the image of a three-eyed jackal seems to glower from striations in the stone itself. This image glows with a soft rusty light that illuminates the entire room from below. Alcoves to the north and south contain statues of a jackal-headed pregnant woman. Each clutches a pair of kukris crossed over her chest, and a reptilian tail winds down around her taloned feet. To the west, what once might have been a stone pulpit featuring other statues seems to have been partially buried under an ancient collapse. The walls of this room are densely decorated with hundreds of scribblings and sprawling runes.

Perception (+3 vs. traps): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Ensu begins tending his companions' wounds as the demon falls.

Use the summoned critter's heals first. And of course my summons is mainly a beatstick..so no helpful spells there. Unless I didn't get the summons off. I also have Heal spells available so give me number of HP and I'll give those to the biggest losers...uh I mean, most injured.

Jessamy doesn't notice anything that might be dangerous or particularly valuable within the chamber or among the various rubble (besides the slain demon).

The magically dense fog blocks visibility into a hallway further south.

Dorf's at 17 after coming out of rage.

Pirknok takes a few ragged breaths as the demon falls, standing tiredly as Ensu heals his many wounds. (Assuming, of course, that he does! :P) "Thanks, Ensu," he says, staring at the fallen foe. "C'mon... we shud keep goin'."

Ensu lays his hand on Pirknok and casts a spell, a strong wave of holy energy passes between the gnome and dwarf. One Heal spell down 144 to Dorf. Plus all temp conditions removed--like nauseated etc.

Just in case anyone is not understanding my math on Heal, I have a ring of curing, which add 2 to each healing spell per level, so instead of 10 per level I heal 12 per level. I assumed my cure spell bonus caster level doesn't apply to the Heal spell.

HP 39/93

"Looks like there's just the one way to go, so I guess we go that way?"

Let's take the passageway south, (though there is another one leading north if we backtrack a bit but we can do that later).

Siolad warily nods and gets ready to take the passage south.

As the heroes push south through the clinging fog, the haunting voice from earlier calls out again.

"Well done visitors. Few mortals are mighty enough to defeat a glabrezu demon, though it is a tragedy. That one was only a handful of days short from being free from his binding. You have earned an answer to your questions..."

Pirknok frowns in concentration, looking around with sword upheld as if he might see the source of the voice at any moment. "Wut questions?" he mutters dwarfishly. "Why doncha jus' show yourself so we kin be dun with this?"

"Because I haven't decided what to do with you quite yet. Perhaps you can be useful in serving me and my master's ends. Perhaps you're just nuisances to be dealt with when necessary. I suppose time will tell..."

The voice fades as the party emerges from the dense fog into large cavern, roughly separated into three chambers joined by collapsed walls eroded by the ages. Bloodstained fragments of chain shirts, shields, swords, and clothing lie strewn about this room haphazardly. The walls are decorated with countless scribblings written sloppily in long-dried blood.

Six bulky mastiffs with fur the color of midnight are standing guard here. They growl when the heroes enter and move to attack.

Krojun: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Ensu: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Jess: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Pirknok: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Siolad: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Badguys: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Ensu and Siolad are up.

Ensu shouts out a blessing. Blessing of Fervor, last one

Krojun rumbles deep in his throat. "I do believe this man is mad."

Round 1: Actions
Standard Action: Throw a Fireball to catch as many dogs as I can without burning any party members

Siolad purses his lips and nods in agreement with Krojun.

He starts casting a familiar spell of great incendiary power, aiming it at the middle of the mastiff pack.

Fireball Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 4, 5, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1) = 32

DC 18 Reflex Save for half damage.

Reflexes: 6d20 ⇒ (19, 1, 16, 1, 2, 5) = 44

Four of the giant hounds are slow to react and bear the brunt of Siolad's fiery spell leaving them badly burned but alive.

All six advance on the heroes, snarling and snapping.

Bite vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Trip vs CMD if Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

The party is up.

I assume Ensu healed up Jessamy before we moved on, based on earlier posts.

Jessamy cries out in pain as two of the dogs bite her, pulling her down to the ground.

She lashes out with her blades, whipping them from their sheaths as she leaps to her feet using blessing of fervor as a swift action, no AoO and jabbing in quick succession at the canines.

I assume I'm not able to get into a flank? If I am, that's +2 or +4 to hit

+1 mithril short sword (TWF): 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 3 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 6 = 10
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1) = 11

+2 dagger (TWF, +2 vs giants): 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 3 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 = 13
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2) = 13

+1 mithril short sword (TWF): 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 6 = 9
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2) = 17

+2 dagger (TWF, +2 vs giants): 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 = 13
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 1, 2, 2) = 16

And, in case Pirknok or someone hits one of the creatures within my reach, I can get an AoO
+1 mithril short sword: 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 3 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 6 = 11
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4) = 20

Dorf takes 17, Ensu takes 18.

Dorf HP: 130/147

Pirknok brings his sword to bear, trying to focus his attention on one of the dogs the others are fighting. But unsure if he can because there's no map! BoF for +2 to AC/attacks/reflex.

Boop (PA, BoF): 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22 +4 if they have SLAs.

Boop (PA, BoF): 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 3 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24 See above.

Boop (PA, BoF): 1d20 + 9 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 3 + 2 = 16

HP 99/140

Krojun gives a great "OOF!" as he's pulled from his feet. He smiles up at the hound and begins to chant the Litany of Those Who Fell But Did Not Fall. Inspire Courage +2 He uses the excellent spell of Ensu's to stand as a swift action without taking an attack of opportunity!

He then swings at the hound in front of him! AXE!: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 = 25 for 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 electrical!

When we're doing 'theater of the mind' combat the monsters tend to put themselves in flankable situations. =P

Jessamy and Pirknoks make short work of three of the scorched mastiffs before they can lunge again while Krojun, aided by Ensu's blessing, jumps to his feet and bloodiest another.

SIolad and Ensu are up.

I like theater of the mind combat. :)

Ensu barks out a short command and a wave of healing passes over everyone, minus the mutts...err the hounds.

Channel, DC 19: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 5, 1, 6) + 1 = 24

Yes, Ensu would have HEAL Jessamy, using the last of that spell...Unless it can be converted by spontaneous casting

Ensu's prayer undoes much of the harm caused by the mastiffs' jaws.

Siolad is up.

Siolad hurls a couple more bursts of telekenitic force at the surviving shadowy mastiffs.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

One of the force-blows sails of its target but the other boxes a mastiff across the ears. It snarls and bounds away from its victim to chase after the wizard!

Bite vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Trip vs CMD if Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Damage: 1d16 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Bite vs Jess: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Trip vs CMD if Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage: 1d16 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Bite vs Krojun: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Trip vs CMD if Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage: 1d16 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Krojun gets an AoO but unless he crits:

Bite vs Siolad: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Trip vs CMD if Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage: 1d16 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

The party is up.
