Sorry, weekend got hectic ^^
Hearing nothing out of sorts in the room beyond, Antonella pushes open the door to reveal a dark and sickening sight. Yellow puffball fungi nearly a foot in diameter and chunks of orange and purple crystal glow faintly in the gloom of this round chamber. Strange plaster frescoes depicting acts of violence cover the walls, and in the centre of the floor stands an altar made of petrified wood that supports a collection of decaying eyeballs laid in an offering bowl like a demented still-life.
Shax, also known as The Blood Marquis, is the demon lord of envy, lies, and murder. Typically depicted as having the head of a dove and bird-like legs, Shax is known to eat the eyes of victims. His unholy symbol is a silver feather on a pool of blood.

A Cursory glance around the room reveals nothing out of place, however a small Plant-like humanoid resembling a small, wide-mouthed fat child made from leaves, vines, tree bark, dirt, and pallid tubers, jumps up from behind the Altar. Looking at you all, the Creature opens its jaw wide and lets out a nauseating screech! As it does so, the Altar reacts and starts to boil over with blood.

"Kelson, do you know?"
The Altar reacts and starts to boil over with blood.
The priestess gets an eyeful of the disgusting offering table and points at it with her wand. "Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the altar to erupt with sap?"

Jorah is able to easily shake off the terrible sound that the plant creature made.
Sethran-GM |
Everyone manages to fight off the nausea rising at the creature's shriek. Iso's mighty blow cuts deep into the creature and Ichor spurts from the creature and Kelson finds his aim is true.
Reeling from the blow, the plant creature reacts by striking out in a frenzy!
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 for damage: 1d6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 2 = 1 AND grapple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The blows hardly harm the Rager, though on the last claw, he can feel poison seep into his veins and Iso becomes sluggish and Tired.

If the spores are supernatural or spelllike then Iso gets an extra +2 to resist them. Iso's damage resistance probably drops his damage taken to 3.
confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 10
The suddenly tired barbarian looks confused by the poison coursing through his veins. Still, he concentrates hard steps forward and brings his axe around again.
I think Iso goes again before the creature, so I'll post now, but the others might finish the thing off before Iso actually gets to act.

Sethran-GM |
It is a poison, not spores. the DR was factored in, hence the -2 on the rolls. You aren't bold so you aren't set to go yet
Wembly Templeton |
Wembly does not like the looks of the cloud and the strange affect it is having on Iso.
Iso, are you ok? Whiskers, we better stay back and give him room to work.
Wembly tries to throw a glob of acid at the plant creature.
Wembly range touch: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18

Antonella, I don't think I could concentrate on summoning a demon if Iso was beating on me like that. Let's hope this thing has no better luck.
Sethran-GM |
As Antonella considers her next move and Wembly strikes the creature with acid, Jorah calls upon Divine fortune to bless your blades. The Creature shrieks in pain, but this time it does not have the power to turn your stomach.
The Blood in the Altar finishes bubbling and there is a puff of dark smoke. Appearing, as if crawling from the Altar is a darkly handsome humanoid with batlike wings, curving horns, and bestial legs that betray his demonic origin.
With a wicked smile, the creature draws a Scimitar and steps towards Antonella in the Doorway, striking at her.

Wembly Templeton |
Wembly smiles as he does not know the answer to Antonella's riddle either.
Maybe save your Grandma's jokes for after we deal with this fight, Antonella. Whiskers, attack this guy!
Wembly casts haste on the party (I think Iso is beyond 30', so can't get him). Whisker's steps up and attacks the demon.
Whiskers Mgc bite, haste, bless: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

Bleh! Well, if nothing else, we can all run away fast from Iso after he smears the demon.
Antonella Schiavo |
AC 30
Antonella nods to Wembly. “Sonat bonum, frater. Ego experiri in Jorah et Iso, concluserant daemonium potest perdere.”
Unsure if their foe knows Draconic or Celestial, Antonella decides not to risk the demon understanding her and only translates her statement to Kelson.
Kelson, ☥♒ Wembly: ♈☧ᛝ⍝ Jorah Iso ⊍ᚽϟ♓♉ Thassilonian
"And yeah, coming up with a Thassilonian translation for ‘splatterate’ wasn't easy."
Sethran-GM |
Whiskers tears as the demonic foe with savage ferocity, the initial bite and two claws striking the creature. Unfortunately, the enchanted fangs and claws seem to harmlessly slide off the Demon's hide, leaving it unharmed.
With a Laugh, the Demon raises its Scimitar and cuts, once aimed at the Eidolon and another and the Gnome rider.
I am assuming as you are using the merged avatar you are riding Whiskers, if not, both on Whiskers.
Scimitar vs Whiskers: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Scimitar vs Wembly: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Neither attack hits their mark and with a sigh, the Demon steps back, careful to keep the altar between them and the Rager.

Antonella delays until after Jorah.

She then swift heals herself and moves 10' into the fungus room. On approaching the masculine fiend, she feints at his groin with her foot (fluff), before sending a rigid right elbow at his jawline.
“I’ll distract this ... creature with a melee aid next time, Iso Soturi.”

Kelson breaks out in another song this time a popular drinking song. "Dwarven whiskey is a devils..leads me astray

Jorah |
Unless someone speaks in Celestial or Auran, Jorah has no idea what you're saying during combat because of his tongues curse.
Despite his previous attempt failing, Jorah once again asks Mother Moon to dazzle their opponent with her divine light.

Whiskers, dodges the blades, and in frustration, will try and skirt around the demon and hit it from the other side.

Wembly will try to drop down and take cover behind Whiskers.

This time, Jorah's spell manages to burn into the demon, the blinding radiance stealing the creature's sight as well. Antonella's Elbow is well placed, however the strike seems to hardly faze the demon as it bounce off hardened scales. Wembly is able to slip off without worry as the creature is blinded whilst Whiskers bite pierces slightly this time, drawing ichor. Then Iso charges and in and delivers a powerful blow, causing the Demon to stagger.
In return, the Demon spins to face the barbarian and strikes out wildly. Though neither strike lands.

If the demonic creature survives Iso's wrath, Whiskers and Wembly will once again try to attack.

Keep the Spell slot Kelson
Regaining their breath and losing their composure, Iso's furious swing cuts the Demon in half covering those near in its Ichor, which sizzles to the touch. As the demon is vanquished, the Altar stops rattling and the eyes immediately decay, filling the room with a rotting scent. Behind the altar, you find a manacled Elf who seems very malnourished and mistreated. He eyes you warily, but there is thankfulness in his eyes.
The Elf coughs weakly and tries to pull themselves into a sitting position against the far wall. He winces as he bows his head before speaking. "Greetings friends, I am Caldion, and I am an outrider for the Shin'Rakorath." he says weakly.

Wow, Iso, great smashing job. I mean, nice work.
Wembly will turn to the chained elf.
I am Wembly and we are here to rescue you. Well, I am not sure that is why we originally came here....or was it? I forgot. But now that we are here, we certainly will rescue you...assuming you want to be rescued that is. Although, I am not sure why anyone would not want to be rescued. I mean anyone that is shackled up during a demon ritual seems like this would be good to get rescued, right?
Wembly looks at Antonella to see if he covered the bases correctly.
Whiskers wrinkles his nose at the stench.
Oh right, Whiskers. If we are going to rescue him, we should get out of this stinky room.
He will do a quick scan with the monk to see what else is in the room.

Iso Soturi |
Iso slumps on the floor near Antonella, huffing and puffing as he does so.
"Iso feels Tired." he confesses shamefacedly.
He nods to Wembly and listens somewhat inattentively as the others start to question the elf.
"Iso needs rag to clean demon-entrails from fine blade." he adds absently. Slowly he shuffles through his bag, taking out a cloth to start the cleaning process while his breathing slowly start to return to normal.
How long does the fatigue from the spoors last?
Also probably not going to post again until web site is back up and running correctly.
