GM SpiderBeard's Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Barvo Delancy

Dejik moves her bow to her off hand, draws the wand of Protection from Evil, and casts it on Sarkast. Then she steps behind the group so she can reach either Ayesha or Ronan next.

Jinxx and Sarkast are all better!

One of the statues suddenly moves - seeing the group watching it, the now-obvious gargoyle lets out a roar before flying away from the chapel and the group. A second, disturbingly familiar roar answers it from the courtyard.

It seems we are seen... Nilus stands and prepares for combat.

Jinxx and Sarkast are all better!

Did I have to spend the mythic point for the surge?

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
"That sounded like one of the bat-winged demons from yesterday. Take cover!"

Sarkast looks around to find any terrain advantage.

Are any of the walls climbable?

I should give you ALL the information sometime. Yes, you passed but you needed the surge. DC was 18. The walls here are DC 20 for a climb check, there's a lot of stuff to grab on to and they're crumbling.

Knowing the flying beasts may be on their way, Sarkast circles around to the side of the wall and starts to climb, hoping to get some cover from their view and negate some of their height advantage.

As long as we aren't in combat yet, take 10 for 21 climb to just get to the top of the wall; his idea is to hide there, then pull up onto the wall once the demons reveal themselves.

On Dejik's next action, she'll channel positive to give everyone but Sarkast the benefit of Overflowing Grace: Creatures at full HP affected by your channel gain +1 sacred bonus to atk, skills, abil checks, saves, for 1 min.

Sarkast, you're out of channel reach, but remember you have Protection From Evil for 1 minute.

Another roar is heard from the courtyard.

If you want to buff/position yourselves let me know.

Nilus holds Radiance out, and it begins glowing with its inner golden light. He moves forward, ready to do battle with the evil creatures within Moved myself on the map a little

Ronan touches Jinxx and wings appear again on the creature. lesser evolution surge

Dejik, did you cat protection from evil on everyone? You seemed to indicate that was the plan but didn't follow up.

Sarkast scampers up the side of the wall and flatterns himself against it, bracing a food against a crumbling bit of masonry so he can leap up to the roof. Suddenly there's a rush of magic and another, familiar roar sounds out. You finally see the bat-winged figure of the nabasu clear the roof of the barn and make for the party. Also, running down the narrow space between the buildings is a babau, one of the acid-coated demons you fought back in Kenabres!

Summon: 1d100 ⇒ 14
Summon: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Dejik immediately chants a spell to her goddess and the party is filled with a surge of holy energy.

The nabasu continues to fly right for the group before it rears back, casting a foul spell! The babau charges right under it, wielding a glaive and snarling at Nilus.

Everybody except for Sarkast and Jinxx must make a DC 21 will save vs compulsion or be paralyzed! Protection from evil provides a +2 bonus to save and a free reroll. An additional +1 to saves is from Dejik's channel.

Everyone is up! The Nabasu is currently 50' above the ground.

Dejik cast protection from evil on Sarkast, then channeled to give everyone else Overflowing Grace: Creatures at full HP affected by your channel gain +1 sacred bonus to atk, skills, abil checks, saves, for 1 min.

Will save: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 = 25

Dejik shudders as the spell washes over her, but she suffers no other ill effects. She checks her companions to see if they are all right.

Dejik delays. If anyone fails their save, she'll try to help them break the paralysis.

will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 16 plus mythic surge 1d6 ⇒ 6 Huzzah!

Ayesha felt the paralyzing power of the Nabasu wash over her. Not this time! she thought as she concentrated on keeping her mental walls strong. She could feel Darb N'ssiar aiding its strength to hers and finally the world came back in focus.

Free of the spell, she took up her longbow and focused on the dragon scale in her hand. She felt a slight bend in arcane forces as the bow became attuned towards a good alignment. Smiling to herself she plucked an arrow from her quiver and sent it winging on towards the flying demon. Only towards, though, since one of her shawls caught on the lower end of the bow and jerked her aim well off target.

attack, good: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

will Save: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 25 Medal of Command!

Nilus moves forward and engages the Babau. Radiance flashes with golden power as he swings it downward at the demon! Activating Divine Bond to add Keen to Radiance 19-20 threat range

Radiance: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 1 = 30 Radiance Damage: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

How tall is the wall, and how safe does it look to move across? I'm trying to judge Sarkast's actual distance from the Nabasu if he tries to throw a spear, and how close he can get. With +14 Acrobatics and +11 Climb, Sarkast is pretty good at moving on difficult surfaces.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 23

Ronan feels the spell but resists its affects.

Ronan casts mage armor on Jinxx, before Jinxx takes off toward the Nabasu.

Jinxx takes off straight to the Nabasu. not sure how close jinxx can get to the Nabasu with a full move action in flight, you can move jinxx to where he should be

The wall of the stable is peaked and around 40' high at the peak, 30' high at the base. It looks like the east wall has crumbled and the roof is thankfully tile rather than thatch. However it is precarious and an acrobatics check would be required to really move across it with any speed.

Jinxx takes off from the ground, his newly grown, angelic wings making the bizarre creature with its extended neck and slavering fangs look even more like the invention of a deranged madman.

Nilus rushes in at the babau as he enchants Radiance before the glaive cleaves down, brutally wounding the babau. He wrests his glaive free before any of the acid manages to harm the magnificent weapon.

Nilus' Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Jinxx moves 80' into range with the babau - as you double-moved in a straight line you can count that as a charge. They are both 50' off the ground. Dejik still has her action, everyone made the save!

Whoops. Sarkast, should have looked at where you are. The outer wall for the stable is 20' high. The top is flat and easy to run along, although a basic acrobatics check is required for anyhting high speed or going along the narrow wall to your east.

Seeing that her friends shook off the spell, Dejik uses the wand to cast Protection from Evil on Ayesha, then tries to spread out so the nabasu can't target them again.

Just to clarify, can Jinxx make his pounce attack that allows him to have a full attack after a charge?

Jinxx can pounce.

OK, I'll need you to adjudicate how far I can get. I'm not sure if pulling up onto the roof is an action, and/or how much of his movement it uses up, but the goal is to use both actions to get as close as possible to the Nabasu, then use Fleet charge to get another move action and a free attack that bypasses DR. I doubt that he can do all of that without being spotted, but just in case I'll throw a Stealth check in to see if he can catch it looking the other way. ;-)

Sarkast bursts up onto the roof and begins running nimbly along the roof toward the Nabasu, drawing two spears. With a final push, he throws one spear, trying to catch the demon by surprise.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Climb (if needed): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Fleet charge ranged attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage (bypasses DR): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Sneak attack (if I'm amazingly lucky): 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) = 14

Because Fleet Charge bypasses DR, the thrown spear will be a normal one, the other left in hand is a cold iron.

Jinxx growls and bits at the Nabasu.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

You can move your full speed while stealthing at a -5. Fleet charge is a little different, but it's NOT at a run. So... you rolled a 20. What the hell.

Sarkast leaps from his hiding spot, landing solidly on the roof before he takes off, his feet a blur as he races silently across the roof towards the distracted and surprised nabasu. His spear lets fly, and hammers solidly into the astonished demon who lets out a shriek of rage!

Jinxx soars towards the nabasu, biting at it with his elongated neck but the swift little demon avoids the attack.

"YOU! You are the ones who killed my mate! Your souls shall be MINE!" the nabasu shrieks in a horrid voice.

Maintain Altitude: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Frustrated by the proximity of Jinxx, the nabasu desperately tries to avoid the creature as it dives at the group.

Coming 20' above the heads of Nilus, Dejik, Ayesha, and Ronan it rears back and its red eyes flare before foul energy passes over the group!

The babau retaliates against Nilus, attempting to wound him with its own longspear. One hit scores solidly!

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Nilus takes 11 damage. Jinxx can make an attack of opportunity. The nabasu is now 20' above the ground. And Ayesha, Nilus, Ronan, and Dejik must make a DC 18 fort save or gain a negative level! You can all go.

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"Yes, and let me tell you that it was a pleasure. Perhaps you can come down here and I'll let you try and enact vengeance. In fact, I almost insist." Tapping into her powers, Ayesha focused on making her next strike as precisely as possible.

Casting true strike

fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Nilus heals himself calling on his Goddess LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

He then attacks the Babau with a vengeance Radiance1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 = 25 Radiance 2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26 Radiance 2!???: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24

1st Hit: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 2nd Hit+Critical: 3d10 + 36 ⇒ (7, 10, 4) + 36 = 57

One day I'll absolutely need to roll high and the dice will say No.

Fort save: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29

Nilus's wound continues to heal as the injury transfers to Dejik.

Nilus, focus on the demon. Let me take care of your wounds. She touches her own wound and it disappears.
LoH: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Dejik drops the wand and draws another one as she steps forward. Iomedae, make these arrows strike true.

Drop the wand of Protection from Evil, 5 foot step, draw wand of Bless Weapon, cast it on her quiver (which still includes 3 demon bane arrows). The nabasu is still too far away for her to see it.

Sarkast continues running along the edge of the roof, then as he nears the edge, he turns and leaps.

I apologize now for the shenanigans. ;-)
1. Spend 1 ki point to increase movement to 40' for one round.
2. Move action to the edge of the roof. Draw second cold iron spear while moving.
3. Spend 1 mythic point as a swift action for Fleet Charge
3a. Spend another mythic point to activate Chance Encounter to take 20 on an acrobatics check for 38 to leap. Because of the ki point, this falls within a single move.
3b. While in midair and adjacent to the nabasu, attack.
4. Cannot fail the DC 15 Acrobatics to avoid the first 10' of falling damage; the next 10' deal 1d6 nonlethal damage. Since only nonlethal damage is taken, he doesn't land prone.
5. Standard action to throw spear.

nonlethal falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Fleet charge attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Damage (bypasses DR): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Acrobatics to avoid AoO from falling past Nabasu (-10 for moving more than half speed: 1d20 + 14 - 10 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 10 = 21
For AoO, Mythic Mobility increases AC by 6
Regular attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Damage (cold iron): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Shouting curses in Kellid, the scout flies off the roof, narrowly missing the demon in the air. Landing underneath it, he throws one of his spears up at the demon. "Die, foul beast!"

That would have been truly epic if the first attack had landed!

That was truly an awe inspiring post with a ton of convoluted rulesets you merged masterfully into a kickass action. Bravo Sarkast!

Jinxx takes a bite at nabasu as it dives.

AOO Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Bite Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Jinxx dives down at the nabasu, and this time bites and claws and gores the thing. 20' above Sarkast

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Claw Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Gore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Claw Crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

fort save: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 15

Ronan feels the affects of the spell. Takes a step forward and casts haste should get everyone

Sarkast races along the wall, rocks crumbling and skittering beneath his feet before he leaps into the air. The red outline of the sun catches him briefly before he lands directly on the nabasu, slamming a spear into the creature. It lets out a shriek before Sarkast tumbles to the ground.

I reward insanity so I'll give the nabasu a penalty to maintain altitude thanks to Sarkast plunging down on it from above.

Fly: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

However, it pinwheels in the air and manages to regain its balance as Sarkast falls to the earth, rolling on his shoulder to come up quickly.

Jinxx folds his wings and plunges down at the nabasu, biting and clawing viciously. Only a single claw manages to hit, and worse yet, the demonic hide of the nabasu shows resistance to Jinxx's attacks!

Back on the ground, Radiance flashes in the strange light of the Worldwound and breaks right through the babau's spear, and slams into its neck! The horrid, acid-covered demon's head flies off, thunking against a wall. The head and body burn up and vanish as the summoned creature is returned to the abyss.

The nabasu, plagued by Jinxx and pole-vaulting rogues, flies away from Jinxx, and wheels to target Dejik with a spell, shrieking its rage. A vile black ray flies towards the oracle...

Ray Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

1d4 ⇒ 2

Dejik gains two negative levels! Jinxx gets another attack of opportunity as the nabasu flies around. Everyone is up. The nabasu remains 20' above the ground.

attack, true strike: 1d20 + 20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 8 = 43
damage, cold iron, arcane strike, mp bane: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Drawing upon her newfound powers once more, Ayesha enhanced her bow to deal more damage to demonic creatures. Smiling, she set an arrow to her bow, knowing that the good-aligned weapon, in conjuction with the new enhancements would pierce the demon thoroughly. She drew and loosed in a single motion, letting her magic guide the shot.

Swift action to use arcane strike with mythic power to add Bane(demon) to the bow

I reward insanity

You may regret telling me that! ;-)

Panting from his exertion, Sarkast heaves his spear skyward again, trying to knock the demon from the sky.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 damage, cold iron: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

He then looks around to find his cold iron tipped weapons to start another round of attacks.

If either of the cold iron spears landed within 5 feet, then 5' step and pick it up. Otherwise move action to get to one of them.

Reeling from the effects of the spell, Dejik snarls at the demon. Your days of feeding on mortal souls are ended. She draws two of her remaining arrows from Aravashniel and takes advantage of Ronan's spell to send both of them hurtling towards the demon.

She turns to the rogue and pleads earnestly in their native tongue. Sarkast, jos se iskee että oikeinkirjoituksen taas tappaa minut. Ei nouse kuin ghoul ruokkia ystäviäni!

Attack, smite evil: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Damage (1st smite attack): 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (6, 4) = 19

Haste attack, smite evil: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Mythic surge: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2, 4) = 14

Nilus says Ronan! Can you make me fly as you did Jinx. and he moves to cover the Summoner.

Is Fly on the Summoner list and can Ronan use inspired spell (or whatever it is called) to cast it on Nilus?

I think Ronan made Fly using advanced evolution, not the fly spell but could be wrong. Also, great attack rolls, crappy damage!

Fly: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Fly: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Fly: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Ayesha and Dejik send arrows soaring into the nabasu and one of Sarkast's spears quickly follows, piercing the vile demon! It lets out a shriek,and panic crosses its bestial face.

Ronan, Jinxx, and Nilus are up!

fly is a level 3 spell for Summoner's, Ronan can only cast level 2 spells so far

AOO Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Jinxx again fly's straight at the nabasu

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Bite Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Claw Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Gore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Bite Crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Bite Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Nilus moved close to Ronan and is covering him providing soft cover.

Jinxx slams into the nabasu once more who shrieks as it continually tries to fly away. It makes one last desperate attempt to wing its way past Jinxx, and then loudly casts a spell!

Fly, Maintain Elevation: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Fly, Maintain Elevation: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Jinxx's AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Jinxx gets one more AoO as the nabasu flies away. The rest of you can hold as the results of that will determine what happens.

Jinxx's weirdly elongated neck bites at the nabasu, missing. Free of the eidolon, the nabasu largely chants a spell, there is a BANG sound, and it vanishes!

End of Combat

spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Ayesha let out a curse as the nabasu disappeared. "Is it gone, or just invisible?" On a hunch, she aimed a glitterdust spell at its last known location.

Casting glitterdust. DC16 to avoid blindness

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Probably not worth a mythic point since Dejik takes a penalty for not being able to see it...

Dejik scans the sky for evil auras (Detect Evil).

Nilus scans the area, he knows that there were other evil auras in the Chapel.

Ayesha's spell sparkles through the air, and no evil auras are seen where the nabasu should be. It seems truly gone.

Dejik picks up the wands and puts them back in her belt. Nilus, you said there were some evil auras behind the chapel door?

Sarkast collects his spears and resumes his position on point, watching for any other dangers as the group prepares to continue.

Yes Mistress Dejik. They are still there.... Nilus says, holding Radiance at the ready, expecting the Demon to return at any moment.
