"Dretches! These Low class scum are damn near resistant to every type of magic attack save for force or sound. At least we have the divine on ourside!" He grunts it out bit by bit as he continues to dodge and fight however one claw nearly slips through But Tarov intercepts it and Julian slashes the Dretch across the throat in retaliation. He continues his quick footwork, spinning like a dervish and delivering what he hoped was a decisive and fatal blow.
"Come on you Sons of goats! Let my blade be your passage back to the Abyss!"
Surprised by Julian's insight Rowan presses the attack alongside the others. She continues to keep her shield low and in front of her as she swings around it to strike at her opponents unprotected side.
Advance alongside Tarov, Preventing the enemy from flanking him if possible. Attack with Morningstar +1 -DF:1d20 - 2 + 5 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 5 = 5 Damage +Weapons against Evil:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
He's fiend-blooded and *gasp* knows a lot about demons! SUSPICION! ...I kid, I kid. XD
Tarov managed to solidly strike his foe, though the dretch didn't fall - though Julian managed to bring down his target, banishing it back to the Abyss. Rowan's attack, on the other hand, came nowhere close to striking her foe, and the creature howled in triumph. Both Tarov and Rowan's foes renewed their assault with added ferocity, even as a rumble shook the ground nearby. Unfortunately, there was no way to stop Tarov from being flanked by the enemy's movements... but at least they couldn't flank both of you.
Which may have been for the best, since even with the added help the demon had, Tarov was able to deftly avoid the attacks of his foes. Rowan, on the other hand...
...took one solid blow from the creature as it bit down on her and tore out a chunk of flesh, immediately swallowing it with a very satisfied look on its face. ...Ew.
Tarov swings his weapon around once more, attempting to prevent the demon's attack from making purchase on his new companion. Undaunted, the demon dodges the blade and its teeth cut into Rowan's flesh.
Tarov uses Bodyguard (immediate action) to boost Rowan's AC by 6.
Bodyguard Aid Another (+6 AC @Rowan):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9Curses! So close!

A smile of satisfaction split Julians face as he watched the demon crumple away, banished temporarily from the mortal plane. He wheeled around and continued his rapid assault, swinging the scimitar in a wide arc...
His blade glanced off the creatures skin and with that the glow faded leaving his blade normal once more. Save for the magic of his Arcana enhancing its edge...
Round 0/3 WaE. :( I think its done this round right? Casted 1 round with 3 round duration? Always mixes me up...
Rowan kept close to Tarov, maintaining her defensive fighting, while striking what he struck when able and trying to reduce the enemy before her magic faded. The dretch reached for her its mouth wide open, the spittle on its teeth shined and she readied herself for the coming bite. However the beast takes a smack in the jaw from Tarov. As Tarov finished his brutal strike on the creature Rowan added her own strike. Bringing the shining morningstar down with a crushing blow!
Attack with Morningstar +1 -DF @ the one that bit at Rowan/Injured by Tarov:1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 = 16 Damage +Weapons against Evil:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Well, boosting AC won't do anything versus a critical blow. XD I suppose it could stop the critical from confirming, though... As for the duration of WaE, it's rounds for the item affected - so it's cast, then its first round would occur whenever the user attacked with it. For one's own weapon, that would be their next round.
Tarov's glaive struck a heavy blow - Julian's weapon, not so much. Rowan's followup, however, was enough to take down the Dretch assaulting her, leaving only the one opposing Julian... or so it would seem, as a high-pitched cry came from behind Rowan and a small flying creature with a jackal-like head, far too many teeth, and grayish skin suddenly unleashed an assault on her at the same time the last Dretch scratched at Tarov.
All things considered, perhaps Iomedae was looking out for her Paladin, because the creature's assault was rather less impressive than it had probably been hoping for...
The sudden attack caught her off guard for a moment before she spun on her heel, raised her shield defensively and swung at the creature with the magical mace. He Swing went poorly but that was only because she was focused on understanding exactly what this creature was. That way she could combat it more effectively...
Despite the loss of the divine magic upon his blade, he still had his own personal magic enchanting it. He continued to fight defensively, angling the blade to better deflect his opponents attacks as he moved in to slash the annoying demon across the gut!
The blow was sound but the demons skin was far harder, liking cutting shark hide...
"By Desna's wings I will strike you DOWN!" His roar of challenge at the Dretch was nearly interrupted by the appearance of a winged menace in their midst now...
Planes, Rowan. XD I said -Planes-. Fortunately, you're also trained in that...
The new creature is a type of Corrupter Demon known as a Barizou - they're intentionally among the weaker servants of the infernal realms... so weak, in fact, that novice spellcasters can easily summon them up from the Abyss (which is, of course, the point). However, they remain surprisingly dangerous despite their small size - it's never wise to underestimate the servants of the Abyss. More problematically, this type of demon is capable of turning invisible...
...as it promptly did, simply vanishing into the air before anyone could react as the badly injured dretch bared its fangs and scratched at Tarov. Foul creatures, these...
Abandoning his defense. Julian turns into a whirlwind of slashing death as he slashes at the backside of the dretch attacking Tarov. "Don't let it escape! I've got this one!"
Rowan spoke but her language was one that few understood, coming off as a light and soul resonating song. Especially song by someone as Charismatic as Rowan...
Celestial:
"Its a type of Corrupter demon. Don't underestimate it based on size. It is a creature that occult wizards could call upon to become there familiar's, we best be wary of a Spellcaster nearby."
She didn't think anyone would understand her and she focused her ability to detect evil in the direction the flying Corrupter Demon used to be in an attempt to locate it. If she detects an Aura she will point in its direction.
Tarov swings his glaive around, attempting to deflect the dretch's bite, but the small creature easily avoids the maneuver, its teeth and claws finding purchase.
Tarov uses Sanguine Barrier (immediate action).
Sanguine Barrier (Sense Motive + 2 vs. Bite attack):1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15 No such luck. :(

Round 6
Grunting in pain, Tarov redoubles his assault on the demon, which now has to try and deal with both the dwarven knight and an angry tiefling at the same time. However, the swing goes wide as the dretch once more avoids the blade. "Don't think we ain't gonna find ya!" he calls at the other demon that had disappeared from sight, frustration clear in his voice.

Also, I grabbed Celestial from my point in Linguistics when I leveled up. Do I need to spend some time practicing and stuff to know how to speak/understand what Rowan is saying, or do I count as fluent already?
The dretch finally fell under the combined force of the blows, but the Barizou didn't seem to be in the range of the detect evil power Rowan had... which miiiight have been because it had reappeared just behind Tarov, biting and slashing.
Even when it wasn't invisible, the creature blended in well with its surroundings - hard to see, hard to hit, and surprisingly vicious despite its size.
Abyssal:
"Pathetic man-thing! We will scourge every trace of righteousness from this city, and there is nothing you can do to stop us!"
Julian surges forward using his quick footwork to close the distance and take a swing at the creature...
As his blade passes harmlessly by he grunts in surprise. At the creatures words he hisses in rage. His words came out in a dark tone, so deep and foul sounding that it was like verbal bile ocoming from ones tongue. So foul that is should never be utter in the presence of mortals...
Abyssal:
"Insect, quit your prattling! The only thing that will be scourged is your pathetic kind! Every Demon, Every Sinner, Every Cultist! None shall stand before the storm of blades that comes for them. You will die a thousand times before I begin to feel satisfied!"

Rowan turned forcing down the anger that welled up within her breast at her foolishness. Seeing Tarov's bloodied state she laid a hand on his should and called upon the Lady of Valor's blessing to assuage and close his some of his wounds.
The sword of Valor on her chest glowed brightly as the divine might of her lady surged through and into the noble dwarf. Miraculously his wounds were greatly lessened...
She frowned as Julian spoke in the foul language of the Abyss, however her curse didn't allow her to speak anything but the language of the heavens in battle. So she sung once more. Blessing the bold and expounding on the valorous for their great service. Where the tieflings voice was darkness hers was the light that brought back hope into the eyes of the broken. A reminder that the divine walked among humanity and had not abandoned them...
Incidentally, if you ever feel like you're just going to be attacking for awhile, you're free to roll several rounds at once. ^^ That can speed things up a bit.
The small demon deftly dodged the blows that rained down on it, then stepped to the side and raked out at Rowan, apparently trying to take her (and her healing abilities) out of the battle before she could undo more of the harm it had caused.
Only one of its blows was a threatening one - neither of its claws managed to get past Rowan's armor and into her flesh, but the demon was quite clearly ready to keep going, especially if it could keep avoiding the blows sent its way.
FA: LoH 3/5 left:1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9 HP now 34/36
With her free hand she cast off the wretched demon's pathetic attempt to harm her and healed her injuries save for a few scratches. She then responded in kind to the demons assault. Side stepping and flanking the demon between herself and Julian before swinging the morningstar at it.
Round 9
She continued the attack, using the flank to continue pounding away at the flying menace!
Julian, seeing Rowan move into position continued to assail the demon with slashing strike after slashing strike. His blood boiled hotter and hotter the longer it survived and he was determined to destroy it! He'd given up on defensive fighting now that they had completely dominated the field...
Again he continues to slash and hack at the demon, trying his hardest to land deciding blows and send it straight back to the Abyss! His will was strong but his sword arm falter and his slash went past without touching the pesky demon...
Two rounds is my limit, especially as I don't want to step on Tarov's toes. He has a lot of Immediate stuff he can retcon so yeah... Stupid showoff magus. :P
Sorry, I've been playing Valkyria Chronicles and I'm nearing the end of my first playthrough. :3
Round 8
Tarov glares at the Barizou, shifting over to stand next to Rowan. He takes a shallow swing at it while still sitting low in his defensive stance, hoping to protect both himself and Rowan. "Anybody got any ideas how t' pin this bugger down?" the knight growls.
Tarov uses Aid Another to boost Rowan's AC (move action), then attacks the Barizou while fighting defensively (standard action).
Aid Another (AC +6 @Rowan):1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Manuevers:
. . 2nd -- [maneuver] -; [boost] -; [counter] sanguine barrier [0/1]

Round 9
Tarov continues his assault on the demon, the haft of his weapon held in a white-knuckle grip as he strikes out once more. "Send this flyin' dog-rat back t' whate'er Hell it spawned in!" He maintains the defensive posture next to Rowan, ready to help defend the Iomedean from the demon's attacks.
Tarov uses Encouraging Roar (swift action), uses Enduring Crane Strike on the Barizou (standard action), then uses Aid Another to boost Rowan's AC (move action).
The morningstar whistled through the air and crashed against the creature, though it wasn't enough to badly harm it. The fact that it was harmed wasn't in question, though, as a bit of blood had gotten onto the weapon. Julian's attack was likewise a hit, though Tarov's missed, and that was all the group had time for before the demon managed another furious assault.
Its claws came close to the Paladin, but weren't quite enough to hit her.
Round 9
Rowan's morningstar struck again, dealing a little bit more damage before Tarov slammed into the creature with his glaive. For all of its toughness, that was a major blow, and it let out a cry of pain before continuing its assault.
Julian's blade cut into the demon's hide, and Tarov defended himself, but Rowan was the one that had the demon's attention - and as she cast, the demon lashed out in an attack of opportunity.
Claw:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
It wasn't enough to stop the spell, though, and Rowan's spell struck it a moment later.
Fortitude:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
The creature abruptly looked quite sickened, though it hadn't taken damage from the attack. (Because reasons - a good thing to keep in mind for this campaign, considering the prevalence of DR among the foes you'll fight)
One of its claws managed to land despite its sickness, though it wasn't a very impressive strike on its part. The demon was still alive, but just as clearly, it had been badly wounded during the course of combat, and didn't have much vitality left.
Rowan weathers the storms rom the pesky demon with the help of Tarov's strongarm and fast glaive. She arcs an eyebrow and sings in her high celestial voice.
Celestial:
"Through strength of arms you shall never bring us low creature, return to your realm and tell your master of your failure!"

Round 12
Over a minute had passed since they had engaged these creatures and so far Julian felt fine, his legs were burning but years of practice ensured he maintained a high endurance and his scimitar blade wasn't as heavy or awkward as a mace or longsword. Allowing him freedom of movement and allowing him to lay the weight of his weapon across his shoulder in times where he was merely dodging attacks.
All and all he was a lean fighter.
This flying pest was getting on his last nerve though, so he swung again with his scimitar. Hoping to shave this puny creature down to size...
"Finish him off!" the knight calls as the demon seems to be on its last legs. Tarov swings out with a arcing blow, before settling into another protective stance, intent to stopping it from attacking Rowan further.
Tarov uses Encouraging Roar (swift action), Enduring Crane Strike on the Barizou (standard action), then Aid Another to boost Rowan's AC (move action).
I think Rowan only took 1 damage after all of that, since Tarov stopped the initial hit before she healed herself she [i]should/[i] be 1 hp from being full. Right?
Rowan's morningstar failed to do damage - Julian's scimitar staggered the creature, though, and Tarov's revitalizing strike sent a wave of healing energy into Rowan as the last of the demons collapsed. It seemed that the long assault was finally at an end - and perhaps more importantly, the way ahead was clear.
Incidentally, a quick look over the bodies revealed 90 GP and a Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds, apparently scavenged from the city. Only the Barizou was carrying anything of value - the Dretches didn't seem like they were permitted such luxuries.
Oh I know Bodyguard is a powerful thing + Enduring Crane Strike made healing way quicker as well. Up to you boss!
The battle at an end the light in Rowans eyes faded and her voice returned to normal. "I Pray the Eagles Watch still stands firm, its clear that our struggle will only get worse from here on in my companion's." She was deeply contemplating the path ahead and what else they would face but for now they could only do one thing. Keep Moving Forward.
She picks up the Potion and hands it to Tarov. "It is clear the Demons dislike the two of us, but you need this more than I friend Tarov. May it aid you." She tosses the gold to the tiefling, nodding to him but saying little else as she waves for the survivors to rejoin them and presses forward to Blackwing Library.

Julian would have kicked the demon corpse nearest him had the Bloodhound not been present. Instead he cleaned off his blade be for nodding in agreement and, catching the small sack of gold, before quickly moving ahead of the group.
perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
stealth:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Survival was on the line and Julian was focused and unwilling to fail. Two extracts remained. The enlargement in Tarov hands and his shield potion. He was struggling to make the right decisions and not waste resources as it was unknown what they could be facing soon...
He stayed a fair distance ahead of the group and tried to spot any dangers betweenhere and Blackwing Library...
Tarov accepts the potion, tucking it into one of the pouches on his belt. "Keep yer eyes open, an' let's keep movin'. We'll handle things as they come..." he says, looking back to see how Anevia, Horgus and the Riftwarden were doing.
The rest of the journey to the library is quick and quiet - though not without worries of its own, as it's clear there are still other foes within the city (and not so far away). However, as you arrive, it becomes clear that the building has been badly damaged by attacks from demons - it lies in ruins, and all that's left are the facade and great hall. Aravashnial quietly sunk to the ground as the news was relayed to him, a low moan coming out of the elf's mouth as he realized the magnitude of the destruction. The elf hasn't noticed yet, but a faint voice can be heard from within...
JulianReligion: Desna | HP: 96/103 | AC: 27 / T: 23 / FF: 14 / Resist: Fire 5 Defiant Armor - vs Evil Outsiders +2 AC DR 2/- | F: +8, R: +14, W: +8 | BAB +6 CMB: +7 CMD: +30 | Ini: +15 Perception: +15
Julian's eyes narrow as he grips his Scimitar with a white knuckled grip, a look of fury crosses his features before he returns to a cold calm once more. He nods to the others. "Lets get ready to rush in. Tarov you still have that Extract if needed. Rowan keep doing what your doing."
He wasn't concerned about revealing himself first, if they were an enemy it would take them a moment. Hopefully. To figure out whether or not he was one of them, that moment would cost them dearly.
"Hold yer horses, lad," Tarov says, placing a hand on the taller man's shoulder. "Let's do this by th' book. Yeah, it looks like 'ey roughed this place up pretty good, but if there ain't nobody but crusaders in there now, ya might be startin' a fight with some o' our own." Tarov looks to Rowan and the others, then back to Julian. "Let's all go in t'gether, nice an' normal. If there's somebody in there that needs a good whoopin', then we can give 'em one."

Use Scale of Disguise 2/d remaining
Tarov's words cleared his mind some but he was still fairly certain that Crusaders wouldn't be acting like this. In a calm and clear voice he explained a better plan. "Tarov, when would a crusader yell at someone to stack Books better? Think clearly. This doesn't sound right, at all. Now if they are the enemy they won't be as suspicious of another demon spawn Tiefling. Especially..." A flash of insight made him realize that his symbol of Desna would be a clear indication of where his alliance stood.
He grips the scale and transforms. He becomes a foot taller, more muscular and brutish looking. His wings remain but he creates a pair of ram horns on either side of his head and transforms his symbol of Desna into an illusory one of Baphomet. "When I look like this. But if they see all of us..." He didn't know how else to say it. "Just trust me on this. Stay just a few paces out of sight, if its a mistake we can clear it up easily with her being here." He nods to Rowan.
"If it isn't safe I will give you an indication and you'll know it when I say it." He looks to the moaning Riftwarden. "Aravashnial, is there anything of importance here? People, objects?"
+10 roll on disguise check, since I don't roll it I am providing it here.
She was curious as to what these extracts Julian was talking about were but she nodded. "Don't needlessly put yourself at risk Julian. We will follow behind you, I will stick with Tarov as it seems your footwork still makes you difficult to harm I see." The last part she said with a bit of hesitation, the memory of their fight was now freshly at the forefront of her mind.
Armed with Morningstar and shield
Edit:...
She frowned at Julian's more elaborate idea but he had a point, an Aasimar would be be beyond suspicious but mistakes could easily be cleared up. However she didn't like not charging in there and confronting this possible new menace. "As Much as I hate to agree, we should let Julian try. We need to make sure these three stay out of sight but safe as well Tarov."
Perception - Places to take cover but remain clse to Julian while he enters from outside?:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
The elven Riftwarden just shakes head - it looks like it will be a little while before he's able to speak coherently again, and Anevia quietly tugged him away from the doors and towards a nearby hiding spot. The only good places to hide are beside the doors themselves, where one could remain hidden from anyone inside while still being close enough to help if necessary.

Julian gives Aravashnial a sad look before mouthing to Anevia Thank you.... He sheathes his scimitar, despite his apprehension in doing so as he looks to Tarov for a moment longer and, if the Dwarven warrior didn't disapprove Julian, waits for them to hide before he presses forward into the ruins.
Edit1 If Tarov still has misgivings than Julian will abandon his disguise and do as his companion suggestions. Either way he just wants to get in there and quickly. :)
Rowan moves slightly to the side, taking a position where Tarov can be in front of her and allow him to charge in first with her right on his heels. However she is ready to change course if Tarov decides to not go with Julian's suggestion.

Julian smirks as he mumbles. "No promises." It was a light hearted joke but he waited until Tarov was clear and pressed his way into the ruin, throwing the opposite door open in an arrogant manner.
He leaves the door Tarov and rowan are near shut so they stay out of sight.
New map. Also, rolling Initiative now - combat hasn't started, and may not if you decide you don't want to fight, but I figure it's best to roll at the start of an encounter. XD
Inside the building, four librarians (or, at least, that's what they look like) have been bound and gagged in a circle, facing inwards towards a shimmering black blade. A fifth is staggering around, stacking books in a circle while tears pour down her face. A blood-soaked human in banded mail armor and two tieflings are also in the chamber, pushing the woman around... and the human looks up as Julian enters, then grins widely. "Hey, finally noticed me, have you? It's about time. Just let me finish setting this up so I can torch them and we'll be outta this dump, yeah?" At his words, the bound librarians start making frantic noises, but their binds are too tight to escape.
...It was vaguely possible the man had misunderstood Julian's purpose and identity.

Julian's taller form arcs an eyebrow before he grumbles angrily, confused before speaking in a mocking tone. "Torch them! What a waste of useful sacrifices! Leave them to me, for I have a better task for you. There is a Paladin of Iomedae nearby, bring her to me and I will be pleased."
He advances towards the group, never losing his stride nor hesitating. Appearing extremely aggressive and watching each of them angrily. He hoped Tarov heard him.

Didn't know if I needed to roll these, as Julian is telling the truth although he doesn't want them to capture Rowan, but he does want them away from the librarians... So yeah, its a hard sell but by this guys words it sounds like he Might do it. xD
Bluff if needed?:1d20 ⇒ 17 Intimidate if needed?:1d20 ⇒ 17
Did anyone else here what was said from the guy? Or just Julian?
Tarov grits his teeth as he gets the gist of Julian's plan. He settles down into his defensive stance, ready to strike at the men as they exit the building. "Get ready, lass. We got company," he bites out in a low voice, weapon poised to strike.
At first she felt a surge of anger before seeing Tarov tense and then she felt foolish. She was very thankful no one was looking at her at that moment. She than readied her mace and prepared to move forward. "Ready to rush them Tarov."That fool is playing a dangerous game. Than it hit her. Does he still have those vials left... She gripped her mace more fiercely than.
Move action, if it sounds like they aren't falling for Julian's trickery, move into the room. 30ft move.

Gah Intimidate doesn't work because that would take a full minute. :/
He will ready an Standard Action to throw a bomb than if they don't fall for the bluff. He will aim for whoever is grouped up. Aiming to hit the one in the center of the group or whoever is closest to him. He will keep the Librarian's out of Line of Fire. Let me know if you want me to roll.
*Rolls Sense Motive* You're lucky modifiers exist. XD
"A Paladin? You serious?" the man said, his mouth splitting into a grin. The two tieflings with him exchanged nods and formed up behind him. "This won't take more than a few minutes, though... and maybe their screams'll draw her out. Light 'em up, boys!" he said, and one of the tieflings moved to grab a lit torch from further back in the room.
