Sealman Alerteyes |
Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Seal walks over to the skeleton, stroking his beard in an intellectual manner.
"As you can clearly see, this man had two heads. See how he has double sets of cervical vertebra here and here, each one with its own individual set of axis and atlas bones."
Seal points to the areas in question with a finely pointed stick that came from nowhere.
"The interesting feature of this collection is the extra set of costals, rib-bones my good Rissi. Good for gnawing on, if you know what I mean. Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw.
It appears a second person was growing out of this man's back. Quite a more difficult way to birth somebody. Of course, I hear the traditional way is quite painful as well. But Mary-lou, our cow, never seemed to have much problem delivering her fold. She would just stand there and let the calf work its way out. No more worried about what is going own back there as if she was taking a dump. Nevermind all that. The more important issue is this . . ."
Seal's academic manner vanishes as his wide eyed craze returns.
Ettins! Giant-kin! I knew it! I knew they were behind all this. And now we have even more proof. That is clearly a baby ettin and by some dark magic were trying to create a Trittin, a three headed, two bodied giant. I tell you, the giant reckoning is coming!"
Hidetsugu Rissi |
"Uhhhh... gnawing on the bones of a sentient; you have a flair for the dramatic Sealman. I've never been happier to be *chhh* vegetarian. It is amazing what little regard for classic form of life the Runelords held. Inventive... "j
She'll collect the key.
EndlessForms |
To the south, the doors are made of stone but bear no handles. An indented outline of a seven-pointed star, its shape covered by hollows and slits, gracing the spot where handles should be.
Fortunately, the key that was just found fits neatly into the complicated lock and the doors swing open to reveal a room lit primarily by a 10-foot-long pit of flickering fire that fills the room with a strange humid heat and the smell of burning hair. In the northern corners of the room, wooden risers each hold several dozen golden candles that burn without melting, while to the south the wall bears an immense carving of a seven-pointed star.
Suddenly a snarling, canine beast pads forward on all fours, its slender front limbs looking more like hands than a wolf's paws. It's form shifts in and out of existence as its jaw snaps out at Seal, closing down on his armor but not leaving a mark!
Surprise!

Barghests are outsiders (evil, extraplanar, lawful, shapechanger). They have DR/magic, can blink and levitate at will and can devour nonevil corpses to gain growth points (which gives bonuses to everything pretty much).
Kufieno |
Kufieno darts past Miana and circles around the room, then evokes a snowball and hurls it at the strange creature.

Sealman Alerteyes |
Seal hops across the corner of the pit (5' step). As he gets into position, he shortens the length of his dorn. After a moment's thought, he decides to go for finesse instead of power.

Lucian Arvandru |
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Aghast at the idea of confronting this creature, Lucian tries to gather his wits and channels his fear into a heartening blessing for his companions. "Desna watches over us, let her will guide your arm and strike true!"
Bless: +1 morale bonus to attack rolls & saves against fear

Hm. My post from yesterday must have been eaten. I know I updated. Sorry about that!

The beast lets out a string of low rumbling growls.
The beast levitates a few feet in the air and goes after Seal!
By the way, high is always good for the PCs when I roll. It has a 20% miss chance against you, but you have a 50% miss chance against it.

Sealman Alerteyes |
So if you roll 80% or higher, you miss us, right?
"Oh, I don't feel very good."
Seal stumbles back a few feet and lengthens his dorn's chain. He then shakes off the attack as spittle begins to froth from his mouth.
"Now that's brisk!
Miss Chance, >51% good: 1d100 ⇒ 11
"We are going to need some magic in here!"
Miana, Champion of Irori |
"What is that thing?!", Miana shouts, moving herself to interpose between Sealman, using her blade to balance as she enters Crane Stance and makes an attack to draw its attention.
Moving into position, swift action to use Crane Style, AC 24 for the time being

@Lucian: Thanks for the reminder... although I don't think the +1 made a different for THIS roll :P
EndlessForms |
@Seal: yep, that's how it works. High is good for you.
Also, Rissi pointed out a good thing I missed: it should be large. I shifted everyone over to account for that. Sorry about that!
Kufieno and Seal both miss their attacks against the blinking barghest. Miana's heroics to protect Seal are not enough to make her attack land any more accurately than her companions'. Rissi casts a spell and Lucian heals Seal.
Speaking in Common now, the beast roars out, "Haha! Your tricks will not stay the might of Lamashtu and the combined forces of Nualia and Malfeshnekor!" A great foul laugh emanates from the beast as Malfeshnekor savagely attacks again!

Miana, Champion of Irori |
Wounded from the powerful blow, Miana calls out, "But you're alone right now! Irori, grant me the power to smite down this wicked foe!"
Swift Action Smite Evil @ Malfeshnekor
She then places her hand on her clawed chest and heals some of the wound while maintaining her defensive posture.Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 2
"Come at me you heathen!"
Miana's AC against Malfeshnekor is now 27
Lucian Arvandru |
Can't you come closer, Miana? I can't heal you where you are...
Casting protection from evil on the defensive.
Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Lucian focuses on building up defenses, and casts a ward against evil on Sealman, then takes a step back.
Sealman: Protection from Evil (+2 AC, +2 saves but doesn't stack with cloak/ring)
Hidetsugu Rissi |
1d100 ⇒ 80 Whew, under the blink by 1%(!!!) with the see invisible.
Rissi points her finger and invokes necromantic energy, just as Malfeshnekor is about to blink out. With her magically heightened senses, her spell lands true.
DC 17 Fort or be permanently blinded
Miana, Champion of Irori |
Kufieno and Sealman have to back up, too, but then I could attempt an Acrobatics or just 5' closer.
Sealman Alerteyes |
You know how it is Lucian. Ladies are always playing hard to get.
But I don't have any magic weapons! ARG!
Seal quickly nods in thanks for the rapid spells cast upon him by Lucian. At the sudden growth of the magical beast, Seal follows in step with the oracle. He then swings out with his dorn again.

Rissi moves into the foyer to see if she can spot the creature, and begins detecting magic as well.
EndlessForms |
Hold on! I totally forgot that he can't do that in my haste to get him away from you! He'll still cast the spell, but just to get on the other side of the room. If that changes Rissi's action she can alter it. I'm guessing Lucian will keep his.

Bad, bad low healing roll :P
Delaying so Lucian can get into healing position, then acting.
With fervor, Miana waits for magical aid from Lucian before moving up. Taking a deep breath, she charges her foot with ki before launching it at the evil being's head, her foot now empowered with a frosty chill that also tries to knock her foe senseless!
Move action to move up, standard action to make an unarmed strike with Stunning Fist, swift action to activate Elemental Assault

After landing her blow, Miana then calls out to Sealman. "Take the sword on my back!"

Seal deals a devastating blow to the barghest! Thunderpuss' bite sinks into the beast but leaves no mark. Miana's bow hits the barghest hard, although Rissi's spell hits the wall as Malfeshnekor blinks to a different plane just as the missile whizzes past.

Correction: Rissi's Missile of DOOM (TM) slams into Malfeshnekor! Kufieno's electricity leaves a charred smell in the air as he burns away the foul beast's skin!
Malfeshnekor blindly lashes out in the direction of the electrical discharge!
Not sure if those miss chances stack or are rolled separately but I'm guessing they are rolled separately.

Kufieno, as a long time rogue enthusiast, you are driving me nuts missing out on your sneak attack die. You shorted yourself a d6 last time =v).
Keeping the rage going, Seal drops his dorn and walks over to Miana. He draws the magical longsword from the paladin's back scabbard. The dwarf double fists it, gripping and grinding the pommel in his meaty palms.
Ever proud, Thunderpus continues to try to dent the pig-nosed beast.

Lucian Arvandru |
To be honest, as a GM I usually only take into account the highest and roll once.
Lucian moves close to Kufieno, praying to close his wounds.
Have you been hit only once this round, Kuf? If not (if more than one attack hit), I'd cast a CMW instead, feel free to roll the extra d8.

Miana, Champion of Irori |
Everyone's sharing the pain love!
"Kufieno!", the paladin shouts as she sees her brethren sulijann take a vicious blow (or two). "To save Sandpoint... no my friends, I will defeat you now!"
Miana applies a touch of healing to herself...
Swift action Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 6
then ducks low before launching into a ki infused uppercut, hoping to stop the evil beast in its tracks. She ends her attack twisting her body around to bring down her curved blade at the creature, all signs of defense lost.

5 cold damage from that blast
Blew nearly all of my 1/day abilities... and totally worth it.

Rissi spends a standard action dismissing the blindness from Malfeshnekor so the barghest can ravage through the party. Rissi's patented missiles continue to harass the poor blinded Malfeshnekor.
Seal switches weapons and although Thunderpuss is landing attacks, they don't do any damage against the beast. This doesn't seem to matter, though, as Miana steps in to save the day, landing two devastating blows that take Malfeshnekor down!
Out of combat!
A single silver coffer sits on its side on one of the shelves in the western alcove. The coffer itself is worth 100 gp, but the real treasure sits inside, buried in a bed of fine white sand-a ring of force shield. The ring bears a seven-pointed star-the Sihedron rune and in fact the shieldlike pane of force generated by the ring is in the same shape.

Rissi carefully picks up the ring with a rag and puts it in pouch.
