Euan's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Dimitrio was beginning to enjoy flying around. He still remembered when he tried that stunt by jumping off the girders at the Goblin. He smiled as he remembered the dancer's heart racing as she hugged him tight on the way. [i]The Goblin. So far away now..."[/b]

The dire bat brought him out of his reverie. Neither rider nor package were good news.

The bard neared the glyph and reached out with his mind, not sure how, to see if it would communicate with him...

------------
Stealth: take 10 for 47
perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
I'm not sure if my last statement is possible so please adjust.

I believe with Lief's help we had enough for all to fly and be invisible. Allarnon just needs help with invisibility again. Tarkir will need both but we can always leave him to hide in a small cavern and wait for us if it is too much.

Kaylayne will slowly and stealthily approach the slit while (overland) flying and, with Lief's help, invisible. She will see who else might be in the room before doing anything more.

1d20 + 18 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 20 + 2 = 47 Stealth
1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 24 + 2 = 39 Perception

And examine the glyph.

1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34 Know (arcana)

Please remember to position yourselves on the map. Are you all approaching different arrow slits? The same one? If so, you're bumping into each other. :)

Lief prepares himself with Overland Flight, before casting Fly for the three/four that require it. He hands out various vials to each of his companions. "Only consume them when we're almost there. You'll only have 14 minutes of coverage for the Shields."

Ederin- Shield, Invisibility, Haste(14 rounds), See Invisibility
Allarnon- Shield, Invisibility, See Invisibility, Freedom of Movement
Dimitrio- Shield, Invisibility, See Invisibility, Stoneskin
Kaylayne- Shield, Invisibility, Spell Resistance(26), See Invisibility

Spent, Lief will kite along, waiting to see how Kaylayne expects to enter through a slit. "We only want the Glyph. I'm not interested in a purge."

Presuming that Kaylayne's current position is the only slit we're focused on, and that the chamber beyond houses the Glyph.

"How many o' these arrow slits can you open up, Kay?" Ed asks before they depart in the morning. "We should probably pick one before hand, so we know we're all in the same place, yeah?"

Once he takes the vials from Lief, he keeps his pace even, making sure he's headed to the right spot, he keeps his eyes peeled. He knows the drow are no stranger to magic, and doesn't want to be taken unaware. He keeps his bow ready for firing.

Wonder how quick the dogs'll pick us up this time.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 19 + 2 = 30

"Just one. And Alla will have to squeeze When it happens, focus on blocking the doorways. We'll want to limit foes into the room." Kaylayne whispers back.

Moved a couple of you around on the map assuming everyone is headed for the same arrow slit. You cannot quite see the glyph from your vantage point, but the purplish glow is there, and lighting the room as Allarnon reported. You also see a slender drow working in an exceptional alchemy lab. The demon Allarnon described is there too, and a handful of drow can be seen or heard moving about.

It takes a moment to take this all in, and in that short time, you gain hear the baying of a hound - as the dog catches your scent and begins to bark.

The drow, clearly the one they call Drexinis, disappears.* I left him on the map at his last known location. Kaylayne is up in the surprise round, and Allarnon in round one!

-Round Surprise-
Drexinis - 22
Kaylayne - 12

Allarnon - 23
Drexinis - 22
Ederin - 17+
Lief - 17-
Dimitrio - 14
Kaylayne - 12

Next up - Kaylayne in the surprise round and Allarnon in round 1.

Round Surprise

Kaylayne casts Stone Shape widening the arrow slit to a 5'x5' hole, then 5' steps back to allow others entrance into the room.

Allarnon will need to squeeze to get through, but flying should have plenty of movement to clear the passage easily.

As See Invisibility is 140 minutes, I was presuming that everyone flew in seeing each other, to avoid complications of the team losing track of each other.

Lief - agreed. It immensely simplifies things on your end. Thank you.

I should also mention Kaylayne's hole in the wall is 5' up off the ground. Ceilings in the tower climb to 25' so lots of room to move around.

Still Swirling Allarnon grunts as he squeezes into the room. Once inside he positions himself near the door and concentration of drow as his body begins to audible snap and contort. While still invisible he let's out a roar to draw attention to himself as his body snaps forward into a bear.

Wild Shape from Air Elemental to Bear.

As he tries to remain quiet it is incredibly difficult as the wild shaping process is impossibly painful.

Rage

Kaylayne widens the arrow slit to allow entry. Allarnon enters, contorts back into bear form, and rages.

Drexinis, believing himself to be invisible to you, casts a spell*, calls out in elven, ”Prepare for attack you mangy dogs.” before moving off.

Drexinis - 22
Ederin - 17+
Lief - 17-
Dimitrio - 14
Kaylayne - 12
Drow - 9
-Round 2-
Allarnon - 23

Next up - Ederin, Lief, Dimitrio, and Kaylayne.

Dimitrio flies in the room, still invisible and gets the layout of the defenders and glyph, "One, two... he stops counting once he gets to Drexinis, for sure a long-lost brother of the corpse he used to wear."

Hey, that's Dimitrio-Drow!

Round 1, Init 12

Kaylayne flies above Allarnon, issuing commands. She commands the Other Kaylayne to share her frenetic presence with the others. Haste, should get everyone in room as Kay acts last.

Haste: 1/14. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Ederin rushes through the hole Kaylayne created, taking note of the drow, Drexis and the hidden hound.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

He sees the male drow cast his spell and shrugs. "That ain't gonna help you mate." He thinks to himself. Not wanting to give away his position before he can get a full volley off, he casts gravity bow, to make taking out the rest of the drow easier.

Quietly, he waits for someone to make the first move so he can open fire.

GM, Ederins initiative bonus is +12 not +10

Round 1, Delay to Init 11

Lief looks over the hezrou, wary of its demonic roots.

Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 19 + 1d8 ⇒ (19) + 19 + (5) = 43 1d8 ⇒ 5
DR, SR, Immunities

He quickly whispers his determinations, before moving into the room, not sure Drexinis can see them, specifically, but sure enough that the hezrou cannot. He waits just long enough for Kaylayne to pass her magical speed off, allowing him to clear the room to the Glyph, and begin his study of it. Not sure if simple Double Move to half-speed the Stealth. May not have started the Sense Motive...

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 20 = 38
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 23 + 1d8 ⇒ (9) + 23 + (8) = 40 1d8 ⇒ 5

Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 20 + 1d8 ⇒ (10) + 20 + (6) = 36 1d8 ⇒ 4

Ederin moves in and casts gravity bow. Lief identifies the demon and begins to study the glyph. Dimitrio moves in and positions himself. Kaylayne moves in and casts haste.

The magical symbol emits a field of foreboding, as if warning that none will be permitted to pass, no matter the righteousness of their cause. It does not crackle with electricity as that glyph is destroyed…

The drow all draw weapons and peer into the chamber, unable to see invisible creatures. Still, one shoots at the hole in the wall, hoping to catch someone still in it.

-Round 2-
Allarnon - 23
-Round 3-
Drexinis - 22
Ederin - 17+
Lief - 17-
Dimitrio - 14
Kaylayne - 12
Drow - 9

Next up - Allarnon.

"There is an invisible dog in the chambers!" Allarnon roars as he charges in, snapping his jaws at Drexis. With the extra hasted speed he is able to quickly shift around the demon and trap both the demon and Drexis in.

Bite; Rage; PA; Invisibility: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 2 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 20
Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

As Allarnon passes by the invisible hound, it strikes out at him, biting, or trying to.
bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

Allarnon appears, no long invisible, his toothy mouth embedded in Drexinis’ side.

Drexinis, a look of shock clearly showing on his face for all to see (well, all who can see invisible creatures), recognizes the reach of the large bear, and casts defensively.

Concentration: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27 vs DC 23

He disappears, and though you can see invisible creatures you do not see him.

Meanwhile the demon strikes out at Allarnon, now visible, with all the fury it can muster.

bite on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 damage: 4d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 2) + 10 = 17 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36 damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (18) + 25 = 43

Allarnon is grappled and held close by the demon. The pus and other organic exhumations are overpowering. Allarnon please make a DC 26 Fort or be nauseated.

-Round 3-
Drexinis - 22 (-22hp)(invisible)
Demon - 22 (grappled)
Ederin - 17+ (invisible)
Lief - 17- (invisible)
Dimitrio - 14 (invisible)
Kaylayne - 12 (invisible)
Drow - 9
-Round 4-
Allarnon - 23 (-14hp, grappled)

Next up - Ederin, Lief, Dimitrio, Kaylayne.

Dimitrio uses his invisibility and quickness to get right next to the drow next Lief and does what he said he was going to do, buy the boy some time to disable the glyph.

He enhanced his blade with electricity right before striking.

--------------
add shocking burst as swift action, move and attack

Melee (rapier+3): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
Melee Damage (rapier+3, panache): 1d6 + 17 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 17 + (2) = 22

Round 2, Init 12

Kaylayne gives what help she can give to Allarnon with the limited time she has.

She asks the Other Kaylayne to help in distract the demon. The Other Kaylayne sprays the demon with dust, blinding and distracting it.

-4 to attack and perception checks for 14 rounds.

Kaylayne becomes visible, floating 10' in the air.

Haste: 2/14. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Fort Save; Rage: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 2 = 23

The pus and nauseating smell rises right into Allarnon's nostrils and he begins to heave back and forth like a cat with a hairball.

10 of the damage is DR from stone skin and the remaining 4 goes to temp hp from rage.

Round 2, Init 11

Lief hovers impotently in front of the new Glyph, seeking its true nature. Fury, Renewal... what exactly are you, now that your brothers have fallen?

He turns just in time to see Drexinis and Allarnon face off.

Spellcraft v DC 19: 1d20 + 14 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 14 + (3) = 19 1d8 ⇒ 2

That's not good.

With the demon beginning its assault on the bear-man, and the drow sure to have poisons of their own, Lief backs up a little, to avoid unnecessary flanking, and lashes out quickly with his rapier. Targeting Orange

+4 Cold Iron Rapier, Studied: 1d20 + 17 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 6 + 1 = 34 for 1d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 6 = 14 damage

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 27 for 1d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 6 = 11 damage

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 6 + 1 = 31 for 1d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 6 = 14 damage
Studied Strike: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6) = 25 damage

"The hezrou is immune to electricity and poison, resistant to all weapons not reinforced against evil, and has its own protections against spells cast against it. We need the art of Intimidation for this Glyph, something I have no real practice in. Spells based in fear that target the Glyph do real damage to it."

"The hezrou is immune to electricity and poison, resistant to all weapons not reinforced against evil, and has its own protections against spells cast against it. We need the art of Intimidation for this Glyph, something I have no real practice in. Spells based in fear that target the Glyph do real damage to it."

Dimitrio quickly switched his performance and started reciting poems making himself appear more menacing, more imposing...

--------------
I can inspire competence and get a total +18 on intimidate checks? What's the DC to overcome? Will this be enough? Can anyone else buff me further?

Unable to figure out where the male drow dissapeared to, Ederin scans the room and listens to Lief explain this next glyph.

"Oi, I can be plenty intimidatin', but Carini's got a better handle on that yeah? Keep 'im covered while he works his magic!"

Nodding to the bard, Ederin opens up on the drow nearest Dimitrio hoping to clear the way for him to work.

Priority: Orange-Green-Pink

Attack 1: 1d20 + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 = 23

Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 5 + 8 + 1 = 22

Dimitrio - you don't know the DC, but the last one was a DC 30 for reference, so +18 should get you in the neighborhood at the very least.

Ederin starts with green (for my sanity) and though he doesn’t drop him (fumble) he does drive him down most ferociously. Lief gives what information he has, and injures the drow next to him. Dimitrio leaps upon orange, his rapier driving deep into the drow and finishing what Lief began as the drow drops quietly to he floor, bleeding. Kaylayne distracts the demon hoping to help Allarnon.

The drow, now with a few targets, begin to line up the party for destruction! Poisoned bolts fly everywhere.

Pink on Lief: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 plus DC 13 fort save or fall unconscious

Green on Dimitrio: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 plus DC 13 fort save or fall unconscious

Purple on Ederin: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 plus DC 13 fort save or fall unconscious
crit threat Purple on Ederin: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Allarnon looses his last two meals as he comes face to face with the demons armpit, and worse, during the course of the grapple.

You hear a commotion in the courtyard as orders are shouted in elven and undercommon. ”To me, rally!”

Meanwhile the demon tries to pin Allarnon.
grapple to pin: 1d20 + 25 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 25 + 5 - 4 = 28

...but sadly he fails to hold the grapple!! The nausea, ever so close a moment ago, fades with distance and Allarnon is free to act (on his init - be patient).

Round 4, Init 11

Lief steps quickly to Pink, and tries to eliminate resistance against Dimitrio's impending dance with the nameless Glyph. Swift to Study

+4 Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 17 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 6 + 1 = 44 for 1d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 6 = 15 damage

"We're due for company, in case anyone can bar the doors? Dimitrio, I may be able to support your attempt, but only a little. This is yours to accomplish, if you can. Otherwise, we need time to destroy it, if deactivating it proves too difficult."

Dimitrio approaches the glyph but is not sure how to address it, much less intimidate it.

He struts and fake slashes at the thing while trying his best to pour out his most menacing look.

------------
intimidate: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Do I need more checks?

intimidate: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

Round 4, Init 12, Part 1, Waiting to see what Ederin does

"Yes, see if that works, Dimi!" Kaylayne urges.

"EDERIN! GET THE ONE THAT LIEF FIGHTS OUT OF THE WAY!" Kaylayne commands, hoping the archer will allow her to do what needs to be done.

Haste: 4/14. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Ignoring the poison dart in his side Ederin nods back at Kaylayne and switches from the drow he just wounded to the one focused on Lief. If it drops he moves on to the next drow near Dimitrio, keeping the room as clear as he can.

"On it!
Attack 1: 1d20 + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 = 32

Round 4, Init 12, Part 2

With no more foes blocking the doors, Kaylayne casts Wall of Stone in front of the double doors, making it thick and strong.

"Dimi, keep working the glyph. Lief, bar and block the remaining door."

Haste: 4/14. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Lief all but takes out pink with a flurry of attacks. Ederin however finishes pink and takes out green, removing the last of the preppy threat. Dimitrio steps up on the glyph and tries to intimidate it, but fails initially - having trouble intimidating an inanimate object (One roll per round, but I’ll use your next two rolls on the next two rounds.). Kaylayne blocks the main doors with a wall of stone, firm and heavy.

The last remaining drow, in something of a panic seeing his fellows cut down so easily, tries one more time to slow Ederin’s advance.
Purple on Ederin: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 plus DC 13 fort save or fall unconscious

Next up - Allarnon.

Allarnon fends off the demon as best as he can as he scrapes and claws for every inch of ground.

Bite; Rage; PA; Haste: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 26

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 16
Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Allarnon digs in and takes on the demon, but has little success, only hitting once.

The demon returns in kind, trying to get his grapple back.

bite on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 damage: 4d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 3) + 10 = 22 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21 damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (12) + 25 = 37

Sadly, all they do is trade blows. You hear noise in the courtyard, but not attempts on the door as yet.

Don't forget the -4 to attacks, demonboy!

Kaylayne surveys the fight, deciding what to do next.

"C'mon Dimi! Do your thing!"

Kaylayne surveys the fight, deciding what to do next.

"C'mon Dimi! Do your thing!"

And Dimi complied, this time without any fake strikes.

He concentrated on his personality, on his exuberant personality, and poured out all his mojo towards the glyph, awing it into fearfulness.

------------
GM: I'm taking you up on letting me use my last two rolls of 14s for a total of +32 and +32 for this and next round. Thanks.

Do we need more or are those two checks sufficient?

intimidate: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

Ahhh, too true Kaylayne, sorry. I forgot the -4 on attacks. No hit... still didn't grapple. :)

Dimitrio, you'll need three consecutive successes over three rounds. We're in round one, but I've all your rolls now, so you're all set. Good rolls!

Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

"Keep it up Carini, we'll be out of 'ere in no time." Ederin shouts to the bard while he draws more arrows and fires on the remaining foes.

Purple then Demon

Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 + 8 + 1 = 20

Round 6, Init 11

Lief takes Kay's order, watching as the Wall of Stone appears. He moves briskly to the second, mainfloor door, and does his best to brace it, against whatever expects easy passage through it. Should there actually be a bolt, he flicks it into place. Move Action to Door, Standard to, er, Obstruct/Brace/Bar/Stymy.

Ederin takes down purple and nicks the demon further, though he does less damage than he’d like (DR). Lief moves to the door, and finds a bolt, though it is more puny than he would like. He imagines it will not last long to a determined opponent. Dimitrio presses the glyph, which dims slightly at his threats. Kaylayne DMPC may take her action but I’m going to skip forward to Allarnon.

You hear the drow come up against the main doors and heave - but the wall of stone holds. There is some muffled shouting, which is hard to hear through the new wall.

Next up - Allarnon.

As the demon trades blows with him Allarnon slams into the demon with all of his weight.

Bite; Rage; PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 16

Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Allarnon connects twice doing considerable damage, yet the demon presses on.

The glyph pulses dimly indeed as it is hampered by Dimitrio’s might. The Demon continues on Allarnon.

bite on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 19 - 4 = 29 damage: 4d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 1) + 10 = 18 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (18) + 25 = 43
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 19 - 4 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (10) + 25 = 35
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 19 - 4 = 32 damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 plus grab: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (17) + 25 = 42

Sadly, the demon scratches and snaps, but cannot find purchase through the big bears defenses.

And Drexinis returns though he remains invisible many of you (all?) can see him! He appears along with a cadre of draw warriors looking somewhat surprised to the east and commands his troops forward!

Next up - Ederin, Lief, Dimitrio, Kaylayne.

The bard looked closely at the glyph and smiled, "I think I'm doing something. I mean I think it's working."

He continued, "Keep them off me, Shorty!"

------------
Euan: you'll tell me if I need to roll anything else, right?

Round 7, Init 11

Lief keeps a distracted ear out, through the single door he currently monitors, before turning his full attention to the new cadre of drow. With his back to the door, he tries to gauge how much more time Dimitrio needs in order to deactivate the Glyph. He leaves the single door unattended, so he may position himself between the new assault and their dancer. He readies a swing for the first drow to close, while he studies Yellow's agitated stance.

"Just keep concentrating, Dimitrio. You're doing well, but let's be efficient here, and get out as quickly as possible."

Round 7, Init 12, Part 2

Kaylane flies over the drow party (dropping on yellow), dropping her fire seeds amidst them. She utters her command word, sparking the seeds to life. Overland Flight + Haste. Drop is free action.

She follows that up with a prismatic spray on the 5 drow.

Haste: 7/14. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Dimitrio - you're all good. :)

Kaylayne, the drow were not present for your first rounds actions. Only the demon was in the room. So I'll let you drop the seeds on round 8, but your round 7 action is still in flux. No prismatic spray as yet...

Fireseeds have a 5' radius burst, and you target a corner not a square, so Blue is unaffected.

Though several saves were made, everyone on the field of battle lies dead to this truly powerful spell.

Blue looks around shakily and fears what is to come.

Ederin whistles as Kaylayne obliterates the newly arrived drow horde. Laughing he trains his arrow on the last shakey fighter and fires. "Remind me not to piss you off, love."

Attack 1: 1d20 + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 22 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 + 1 = 30

Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 + 8 + 1 = 23

Lief readies to fight the drow protecting Dimitiro - perhaps blue will cross the room and close? Dimitrio continues to overpower the glyph (just one more time!). Kaylayne flies over the new recruits and blasts them. Ederin delays to see what Kaylayne will do, then opens up on the last drow, finishing him as well most solidly.

You hear drow coming to Lief’s door and pounding. It will only be a matter of time before they gain egress, but it has not happened yet.

1d20 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 11

Allarnon seems too distracted by the demon to notice the new contingent of drow enter the room.

Bite; Rage; PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 30

Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

"Just a little bit more. Tell me when that Glyph is destroyed!"

Hearing the sounds of several explosions from the east he turns his head and watches as the tower is nearly split in two.
