Hyram Grimstalk |
You mistake me demon. To me you are no more than an annoying gnat that I swat or the helpless ant that is ground under my boot. As I have no pause to feel remorse at the death of those creatures, so would I have no remorse for dispatching you. Especially if you don't even try to redeem yourself by giving us any information. So the choice is yours, foul demon, extend your life by showing yourself useful and answer his questions, or remain silent and perish.

"Ah, so the Paladin will allow the henchmen to murder. What does you god say to you about that!" and before anyone can stop her, she fades from view and the chain cuff holding her by the ankle falls to the floor. Aladir, knowing that Quinn and especially Hyram will look at where she was, turns quickly around and sees the demoness hand barely materialize where he had kicked her sword, then fade out and the sword is no longer there. A moment later, her voice comes from just outside the room, "I await you below Paladin, where you and your toadies will be slain." Rushing to the door, there is no one there.

Aladir Cyruthion |
Seeing the demoness begin to fade from view, Aladir turns in an attempt to grab her sword before she can take it with her, only to see her hand materialize and take it before he has an opportunity to retrieve it. He huffs out a breath, then looks to the others. "Well...it could be much worse. Now we have no reason for concern about slaying her when we meet her again, nor do we have a disguised succubus as an 'ally' while we comb through the place. Either way, we still have work to do." the elf comments. Once the others are ready, he will check the northernmost door of the chamber they are in (F15).

Quinn makes a grab for his blade with one hand, launching his dagger with his other at the fading image of of the demoness. The flying blade strikes nothing but the bare wall as Aladir suddenly makes a dive for the sword on the floor.
"Ah, so the Paladin will allow the henchmen to murder. What does your god say to you about that!"
"That the Lady does not choose fools for champions!" Quinn responds to the now empty space. His dagger rematerializes in his hand as he follows behind Aladir at the next door.
"You said you have a spell to prevent vanishings like that, yes?" he asks Ezro. "Do not hesitate to use it when next we see her."
Hyram Grimstalk |
Hyram is livid that the demoness got away. He feels like shouting into the nothingness but feels it would be pointless. I look forward to meeting that one again-and her master! Hyram says to his companions. As much as I am anticipating that meeting, I feel that we should continue what we have been doing and methodically ridding this place of its demon taint!

Frustrated at the trickery of the demoness, you continue on. Aladir checks out the door to the north of the room that you are in and after pronouncing it safe, Quinn throws the door open and you find a dusty empty room

Aladir Cyruthion |
The elf huffs out a breath, somehow frustrated that they keep coming across empty rooms. Deciding not to abandon this one until he's at least searched it, he does so.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Whatever he discovers, he reports it to the others; if he finds nothing of interest, he moves on to the next closest room that is unexplored, the diagonally-aligned door to his southeast, and investigates it as he has the others.

Looking around the area that the demon had left, he makes sure nothing was left behind.

Aladir, still frustrated that the demoness got away, never the less searches the room just off where she was but finds nothing but dust. He moves to the southeastern double door and after the standard inspection stands back and lets Hyram and Quinn open it.
Again, another empty room, with another smaller empty room off it. There is also a short set of stairs down a few steps and then out to the parapet, but the way is filled with much rubble that has fallen down from the upper portions of the Citadel.

Aladir Cyruthion |
Aladir huffs out a breath as another empty room greets the group, shaking his head. "I'm not sure if I should be glad that we're encountering so little resistance thus far or if I should be concerned that they're all just gathering together to try and obliterate us at one time." the elf muses.
"I suppose it doesn't really matter...the exploration beckons." he adds with finality before returning to the previous room and checking the door at the far south.

Moving back to the room where the succubus was, Aladir listens at the southern door and inspects it for traps. Finding none, Hyram and Quinn open the door and find another empty room(*). Back tracking further into the room with multiple exits, Aladir checks the remaining southern door, first listening and then inspecting for traps and pronounces it safe. Again, as standard, Hyram and Quinn open the door and find another empty room(*). Continuing to back track, looking for relatively open areas to go thru instead of having to spend hours clearing out rocks and rubble, you end up in the room with the two fiendish minotaur bodes.

Overview & Tactical Map Updated
Note: * - By empty, I mean no creature(s) (living or undead or dead) are in the room. The room might be dusty or not. Might have tracks or not. Might be defaced or trashed as demons are wont to do, or not. Unless someone objects strenuously (and tell me by PM), "empty room" is DM code for, nothing important here to see, move on. At least in this Citadel, there are a lot of empty room. If there is something of significance, I will mention it rather than say "empty room".
Aladir Cyruthion |
Aladir heads for the western wall, with its single door and pair of doors, and moves for the double doors, checking them for any traps before he listens at it.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Disable Device: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33
Nope! This door is totally clean! I don't hear a darn thing!
Ezro Lindran |
Examining each room as they go through, Ezro follows along.
"It is uncomfortably empty. I believe we knew it would be a reduced garrison, but this is a lot more than I was expecting."
Quinn Inktooth |
"Well, it's not exactly a labyrinth. Though we do keep walking past the same two minotaurs," Quinn quips as he kicks one of the fallen fiendish half-bulls on the floor.
Quinn spins around. "The parapet with the ballistae was that way, yes?" he points in the wrong direction. "Or... that way. We should make for the main door as directly as possible. We may need rest and recuperation at some point. Now that that demoness knows we are here and our numbers, it may no longer be safe, even in Soltengrabbe's nest. Besides, the Knights can secure the gains we've made."
Hyram Grimstalk |
Luckily Aladir knows where to go. Just keep pointing out those doors you need opened. Hyram says as he slaps Aladir on the back. He meant it in a friendly way, but it was probably harder than it should have been.

Moving to the western wall, and the single door, Aladir checks it out, hears nothing, finds no traps and lets Hyram and Quinn fling the door open do an empty room. Moving to the double door, Aladir again hears nothing, and pronounces it trap free so Hyram and Quinn fling open the door. This time the room is not empty.
An array of maps depicting the Worldwound and its border nations adorn the walls of this large chamber. At the table in the north a dwarf seems to be intently studying a small book, but waiting for you just inside the room are three demons, babau demons, if your memory serves you correctly. As the door is flung open they prepare for battle.

Quinn Inktooth |
Quinn was almost startled as the door flies open to reveal demons holding court. But, not so startled that his attack-first instincts failed to kick in. He moves straight through the door, swinging hard at the closest demon.
Move to Y-28 Power Attacking demon at Y-27.

Aladir Cyruthion |
Aladir almost switched his standard bow for his rapier and charged into the fray after Quinn...then realized how suicidal that would be, considering it would put him in the direct center of all three demons, not to mention in easy striking distance of the dwarf.
Instead, the elf reverts to his standard pattern of attack: fire as many arrows as he can, targeting the same babau that Quinn took a swing at a moment ago. Thinking it might actually be a good time to finally use the thing, the last arrow Aladir fires is one he has been holding for some time: an Arrow of Evil Outsider Slaying! Should be good for that, right? I have line of sight to them.
Longbow Attack 1 w/ CI Arrow+DA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Longbow Damage 3 w/ Outsider Slaying Arrow+DA: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Whew! Just barely got that dang babau! Good thing slaying arrows are +1 weapons...that means it needs to make a DC20 Fort save or take 50 additional damage.

Quinn, momentarily surprised that no noise was heard from the room, runs up to the closest demon and tries to remove its head, but misses. Aladir uses his bow and fires three arrows in quick succession at the demon in front of Quinn. He misses with the first arrow, but his second and third hit, with the third arrow being his special demon slaying arrow, and as it hits the creature it explodes doing substantial damage to the creature.
The demons, enraged at being disturbed by such human and tiefling fodder move up and attack, not using their spears, but dropping them and clawing and biting at the paladin and wounding him very badly. The dwarf looks up, closes the book he has, puts it into a pocket, stands and studies the situation for a few moments.

Seeing the demons assault Quinn, he yells,"Quinn look out! Iomedea! I beseech, heal your child!"

"Be careful! These things are the same type that were guarding the wardstone." Alikia calls out, as she pulls a small stone from her spell component pouch. "Quinn, don't move!" she shouts, quickly moving the stone with complex movements. As her movements still a cloud of dust gently drifts down from the ceiling over two of the demons and over the door.

Aladir Cyruthion |
Didn't even occur to me that I'd get to act with everyone else, since I go at the start of the next round. Sorry!
A thrill rushes through Aladir when he sees his arrow strike home and deal such grevious damage to the demon. The victorious shot inspires him and he fires three more arrows at the same demon he'd fired at a moment ago!
Longbow Attack 1 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Longbow Damage 3 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Anyone else get the feeling now would be a good time to bust out some mythic abilities?
Their situation seeming more dire than he'd like it to be, considering the dwarf hadn't even stepped into the fray yet, Aladir summons forth the power gifted them by the shattered wardstone, his body glowing faintly for a moment before his movement suddenly blurs and he streaks across the room to stand directly behind Quinn, a fourth arrow nocked to his bowstring and firing at the same instant he reappears!
Swift Action to use Swift Charge and move to Y-29, then take a fourth attack at a +2 bonus.

Longbow Damage 4 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS+FC: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
"Desna sends her regards!" Aladir taunts as the fourth arrow strikes home, the combined efforts of he and Hyram sending the demon to the ground and leaving Quinn to pick a new target!
Oh yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! By my figuring, Hyram's hit plus Aladir's three add up to 41 damage vs the Babau's 40 HP. Just barely got in there!
Quinn Inktooth |
The combined assault of Hyram and Aladir make minced meat of one of the three demons. Quinn quickly selects another... but with little effect.

Ezro runs up slightly and using his mythic power, heals some of Quinn wounds at range. Alikia casts glitterdust, catching two of the demons who are blinded. Hyram moves up and attacks the wounded demon, hoping to put it down. He succeeds in hitting it, but it is still standing. Quinn uses his Paladin abilities to swiftly cure himself of some of the demon damage, and they swings and misses at the demon in front of him. Aladir fires at the damaged demon also, and then using his mythic abilities runs up to just behind Quinn and fires a fourth arrow and the demon in the center goes down.
The two remaining demons attack, one on Quinn and the southern one on Hyram. While Quinn gets hit once, Hyram gets hit with all three of the demon attacks, one of them critically.
The dwarf steps up into the area that was covered with glitterdust, and casts a spell on Alikia, "I suggest you leave the Citadel now, before you die."

I suspect that is a "command" type of spell Alikia has to save against. But, just in case, if it is a "fear" spell, add +4 to her save because she is within 10 feet of Quinn and his aura of courage.
Alikia Sokol |
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 +2 if an enchantment. +4 if a fear effect.
Alikia's eyes widen and her mouth goes slack for a moment. "You're right. I-i gotta go." She mumbles out to everyone, before turning on her heel and marching out of the room.
So I can use my arcane bond to get back to the ground once I reach the parapets, and sit on the ground because I have no other way to get back up. Have fun storming the castle guys!
Ezro Lindran |
And then he prayed! NYYAAAHHH!!!
Ezro holds his holy symbol up and begins reciting prayers of Iomedea, granting detriments to his foes and boons to his allies, "Great Iomedea let our hearts and blades strike true!"
+1 to All Attacks, Saves, and Skills to allies, -1 to Attacks, Saves, and Skills for our opponents! Since I go before Alikia, the +1 should apply to her making the save 17 exactly!
Aladir Cyruthion |
Don't forget, Alikia, that you can also use an Immediate Action to expend one mythic power and get a Mythic Surge to add 1d6 to any d20 roll. A Mythic Surge can even be used after you've made the roll to add to the result. Even if it wasn't for the Prayer spell, using that would've given you the roll you needed.

Ezro seeing that the group is having a hard time with the battle, prays to Iomedae to help them, and hinder their enemies in the battle. Alikia, really thinks that the dwarfs suggestion to leave the area is a good one, and momentarily turns to leave, however with the blessings of Iomedae, she overcomes the power of the spell and turns back to join the fray. Hyram, speaks at the dwarf, and then hits the demon in front of him. Quinn swings twice at the demon in front of Hyram, and wounds it severely. Aladir, continues to pile on the damage to the southern most demon, but the creature does not yet go down.
Once again the two demons use their claws and bite to attack Quinn and Hyram, and each of them is wounded more. The dwarf meanwhile, looks over the situation and yells at Ezro, "flee".

Alikia Sokol |
Alikia turns to the dwarf and points an accusatory finger. "How dare you try and make a fool of me!" Scanning the battle field, her mind quickly goes through her options, before pausing. She tilts her head to the side, as if listening to an unseen foe, before the runes on her crossbow burst into an electric blue light.
"Beidh tú ag titim do arm agus a thabhairt suas a chur chugainn . Tá muid ach anseo le cuidiú." With honeyed words, Alikia allows her magic to seep into her speech as it winds its way around the wayward dwarf.
"Don't attack him! He could prove to be a useful ally." Alikia calls out to the others, as she attempts to see if her ploy worked.

@Aldir: Opps. I totally forgot about the mythic stuff for Alikia >.<

Ezro spell results:
Demon 1 (southern) - Beat SR, and even half of 23 damage kills it so dead.
Demon 2 (northern) - Did not beat SR so no damage.
Dwarf - Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 - Made both, so 4 points damage and not blind.
.
Alikia spell results:
Dwarf - Will: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 - Made save, so Alikia spell has no affect.
.
I'll do a full post after Quinn, Aladir, Hyram do their actions but above will be the results of Ezro and Alikia spells.
Hyram Grimstalk |
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
We gave you a chance, Dwarf! You should have taken it! Hyram says as he steps over the body of the demon and plunges his sword into the dwarf.
Aladir Cyruthion |
The second demon now dead, Aladir turns his bow to the third demon, hoping to bring it down so they can focus all their efforts exclusively on the dwarf.
Longbow Attack 1 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Longbow Damage 1 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Longbow Attack 2 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Longbow Damage 2 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Longbow Attack 3 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Longbow Damage 3 w/ CI Arrow+DA+PBS: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Use one mythic power to activate Mythic Surge and add 1d6 ⇒ 6 to Attack 2, giving me a total of 24 on the roll, so two hits for a total of 28 damage and leaves me 5 mythic power for the day.

Quinn Power Attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d8 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
Quinn Power Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d8 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Demon FA: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 1 = 291d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 1 = 191d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 1 = 281d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 vs Quinn AC 19
Dwarf FA (defensively): 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 = 91d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 = 91d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 vs Hyram AC 22
Ezro Holy Smite centers on the dwarf, and engulfs the two demons. The demon in front of Hyram is killed outright, while the demon to the north is completely unharmed by the spell. The dwarf meanwhile, resists most of the spell and is only slightly damaged. Alikia casts a spell on the dwarf, but as he had been attacked by Ezro moments earlier, he resists listening to her logic and is unaffected. Hyram steps forward and nicks the dwarf with his sword. Quinn(bot) wanting to get the demons out of the way attacks the remaining demon but misses with both swings of Radiance. Aladir fires three arrows at the demon, using a mythic surge to help and hits the creature twice, damaging it.
The demon meanwhile continues its assault on Quinn, severely damaging the Paladin. The dwarf swings at Hyram twice with his light hammer missing both times.
Next?

Ezro Lindran |
Seeing the damage Quinn is taking, Ezro holds his symbol aloft and channels holy energy, selectively preventing the enemies.
Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2) = 9
....welp....that could have been better...
Quinn Inktooth |
Quinn places a free hand against the worst of his wounds and lets more healing energy flow through him. Swift Action - Lay on Hands: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 6) + 5 = 22
He takes another pair of swipes at the remaining demon before a quick step back to staunch his blood flow.
Power Attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15
Power Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
5-foot Step diagonally back towards Alikia... and Wow. Good run of bad luck for Quinn...
Hyram Grimstalk |
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
You are a discredit to the goodly members of your race, cultist! Hyram says as he plunges the sword back into the dwarf.
Aladir Cyruthion |
Aladir is alarmed by the danger Quinn is in, but doesn't want to risk the lapse in attacking that would occur if he switched to his rapier, so he continues pouring arrows into the remaining demon, trying to bring it down as quickly as can be managed. Longbow Attack 1 w/ CI Arrow+PBS+DA+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Longbow Damage 1 w/ CI Arrow+PBS+DA: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Longbow Attack 2 w/ CI Arrow+PBS+DA+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Longbow Damage 2 w/ CI Arrow+PBS+DA: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Longbow Attack 3 w/ CI Arrow+PBS+DA+Prayer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Longbow Damage 3 w/ CI Arrow +PBS+DA: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Same as before, use a Surge to add 1d6 ⇒ 5 and give me enough for the hit.
