Tamm gets ready to go.

initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Inititative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

initiative: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Eidolon opens the door (move action)

Sazzat is up first.

Order:
Sazzat
Eidolon
Baddies
Rest

Eidolon acted opening the door as a move action, can do something else. Sazzat is up.

"That's one cursed big devil ...." Tamm remarks to his companions as the eidolon swings open the door.

He taps his heels together to activate the magic in his boots. (free action - haste for 1 round)[

His pair of kukri seem to appear in his hands by magic as he crouches as if to spring forward. (free action quick draw)

Then he springs forward towards the eidolon, but vanishes into a sparkling red portal before he reaches the angel, only to appear in front of the large white devil.

Activate Dimensional Dervish / Dimensional Savant: 120' of total movement.

He teleports 25 feet and appears through a glowing red portal in front of the white devil (location b)

He attacks that devil with a slash at the knee

1.0 Free Haste Attack - on hand - white devil: 1d20 + 19 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 10 = 30

That misses.

He disappears into another red portal (moving 15feet to C) and reappears behind the white devil, slashing again.

2.0 On hand 1 - white devil: 1d20 + 19 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 10 = 41

2.0 damage: 1d4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 5 + 6 + (1, 4, 2) = 26 +2 STR damage

If hit, the white devil's AC drops by 6 vs Tamm and 2 vs everyone else.
He uses his bravado's blade ability to intimidate the devil with his deft manuever.

2.0 Intimidate: 1d20 + 15 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 17 - 4 = 44

If intimidated, the devil will have to make a Will save vs DC:24 or be Frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 2 and shaken for the rest of the duration.

Then Tamm disappears again and reappears behind the towering red devil. He stabs the beast behind the knee, twisting the kukri in deep.

3.0 On hand 2 - red devil: 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 10 = 37

3.0 damage: 1d4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 5 + 6 + (1, 5, 4) = 30 +2 STR damage

If hit, the red devil's AC drops by 6 vs Tamm and 2 vs everyone else.
He uses his bravado's blade ability to intimidate the devil with his deft manuever.

3.0 Intimidate: 1d20 + 15 + 17 - 8 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 17 - 8 = 35

If intimidated, the devil will have to make a Will save vs DC:24 or be Frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 4 and shaken for the rest of the duration.

In the blink of an eye, Tamm blinks away and reappears back between the two devils, slicing at the white devil again.

4.0 On hand 3 - white devil: 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 10 = 28 (hit with his AC dropped by 6?)

4.0 damage: 1d4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 7d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 5 + 6 + (5, 6, 5, 6, 3, 3, 4) = 51 +2 STR damage

Then he steps through another glowing portal to appear back in front of the white devil and slice him again (back to B)

5.0 Off hand 1 - white devil: 1d20 + 19 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 19 + 10 = 38

5.0 damage: 1d4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 5 + 6 + (6, 3, 4, 1, 2, 6, 6) = 46 +2 STR damage

Then a sidestep through a portal to appear 5 feet away and stab the white devil one last time.

6.0 Off hand 2 - white devil: 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 10 = 44
6.0 confirm critical: 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 10 = 39

6.0 damage: 2d4 + 8 + 10 + 6 + 7d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 + 10 + 6 + (5, 1, 5, 2, 3, 2, 4) = 50 +2 STR damage

This last attack slices deep into the white devil's hide, distracting it and allowing Tamm to slide 2 more attacks past its guard.

6.1 AoO#1 - on hand - white devil: 1d20 + 19 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 10 = 43

6.1 damage: 1d4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 5 + 6 + (1, 1, 6, 3, 6, 4, 6) = 48 +2 STR damage

6.2 AoO#2 - on hand - white devil: 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 10 = 27

6.2 damage: 1d4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 5 + 6 + (6, 5, 1, 6, 6, 2, 5) = 52 +2 STR damage

Then his disappears one last time to reappear next to the Angel protector. (point f) (I probably just made them mad at me)

Remember Raphael did buff everyone before combat:

Mu'aqquibat The Protector sings a battle hymn of Sarenrae while she flies into and up the room (so next turn she gets the Attack from high bonus) ignoring any possible attack of opportunity from the devils, and getting both of them into range (so she can get Attack of Opportunity against them).
She gets the +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves from Blessing of Fervor whis round.

There goes greater shield ally .... Flying away in the wind.

When anyone approaches the big red devil, they are unable to get within 10' (SR check for eidolon: 1d20 ⇒ 15 pass).

The Bone devil is dead (after all that what do you expect?)

The big red one casts a spell. Need a DC 27 fortitude save from Sazzat.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

no effect then

spellcraft to know what he tried?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

That was close!

Sazzat is reasonably sure it was some kind of spell. Possibly Bad Juju.

"When I tried to attack him a magical force held me away!" Tamm shouts to his comrades.

spellcraft to know why?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

That would be knowledge arcanna, not spellcraft.

Can we try to identify the spell too?

It's Darryl, Laurel, Ralph, and then Lucian next, right?

"What the heck is that thing?"

Kn: Arcana: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 To know what kept Sazzat away.

Kn: Planes: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 To id devil. Elemental immunities and resistances, if I get anything please. Will act based on what I learn.

Anyone with a line of sight can try to identify the spell. You don't happen to have one.

Laurel shouts out "He has an antilife shell around him. It will be there a while. Best to hit him with electricity if you can, fire won't hurt him at all."

Disintigrate DC 24 Fort: 1d20 + 13 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 32 Damage (No Save): 26d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 4, 2, 2, 5, 6, 6, 4, 5, 2, 1, 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 5) + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 103 Damage (Save): 5d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 4, 1) + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 26

SR: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 39

fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 10 pass.

Sazzat, how are you getting +32 to intimidate? I make Intimidate builds a lot and would like to know what I'm missing :)

Darryl moves up to the door, but as long as the devil has anti-life shell up, he can do little.

The rogue rake archetype lets you make intimidate checks by trading in sneak attack dice. The first die buys the intimidate check and each die after that is a +5 circumstance bonus. Instead of a sneak attack, Tamm can make a +47 intimidate check. Then use shatter defenses to make the bad guy flar footed in later rounds.

"Lucian, grab Laurel's bow and shoot it from hiding using your invisibility ring!" Tamm calls out to his companion.

Darn! It is Rogue specific. I can't use it :( I use Intimidate for the Aldori Swordlord ability, Shatter Confidence. If I succeed on a disarm (or some other combat man.) or crit, or if they are already shaken,etc and I hit them, I suppress all of their morale bonuses for a number of rounds equal to my PrC level. At 10th level I also suppress all competence and insight bonuses as well :) I completely neuter Barbarians.

waiting on Lucian and Ralph?

Yep

Attack of Opportunity on the Big Demon when he casts.
Scimitar +1 (Large/Keen) 2 handed 10' reach w/ Greater Weapon Spell and Blessing of Fervor and attacking from height: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (10) + 27 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Normal Round
Mu'aqquibat The Protector keeps singing while taking a 5' step facing the devil, and attacks with all of her abilities.
Takes the extra attack from Blessing of Fervor this Round, and uses Power Attack.
Scimitar +1 (Large/Keen) 2 handed 10' reach w/ Greater Weapon Spell, Power Attack and attacking from height: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
Damage: 1d8 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30
Scimitar +1 (Large/Keen) 2 handed 10' reach w/ Greater Weapon Spell and Blessing of Fervor and attacking from height: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
Damage: 1d8 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31
Scimitar +1 (Large/Keen) 2 handed 10' reach w/ Greater Weapon Spell and Blessing of Fervor and attacking from height: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30
Critical Confirm 1 (+4 with Critical Focus Feat): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44
Critical Confirm 2 (+4 with Critical Focus Feat): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (13) + 26 = 39

The creature is huge, there's no room to attack from height.

You miss (after I take 5 off of all your attacks).

Raphael tries to understand what Laurel is saying, only reading his lips.
Perception Check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
I hope he is able to. Or maybe Mu'aqquibat The Protector can relay him the information?
He flies out from cover, and somewhat back, and tries to dispel the Antilife shell from the devil.
Caster Level Check to Dispel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Ugh!

Since Lucian said he was busy and needed botting, why don't we assume he follows Tamm's suggestion and moves to Laurel to borrow his longbow?

That's fine. I'll figure out his attacks a bit later.

"Lucian, grab Laurel's bow and shoot it from hiding using your invisibility ring!" Tamm calls out to his companion.

"We have an invisible rogue!" He shouts, ruining the surprise ;)

Antilife shell, damn. Not an expected obstacle.

Lucian follows the advice, trusting the casters and whatever they said to inform him that he can't get near the devil. He snatches Laurel's bow, then fires off an arrow at the outsider.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 20 - 4 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 7d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 3, 5) = 29

Confirm: 1d20 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 20 - 4 = 31
Damage: 2d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8, 6) + 2 + 3 = 19

Arrow hits, but does not confirm.

Round 2:

Tamm holds action, waiting for Laurel or Raphael to tell him that the anti-life shell has been dispelled.

Concentration check to keep spell going (damage from arrow will try to disrupt).

1d20 ⇒ 14 pass

Waiting on Laurel.

I assume you realize the dispel didn't work.

Laurel disentegrated him for 26points above, I think everybody but Terentius has gone in the first round.

Ok, I'm getting senile. Never mind.

Terentius casts a spell and a shimmering blade like plane of force appears and attacks the big guy.

SR check: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 However once it strikes at him, it fizzles.

Round 2 baddie.

He steps back a bit and the eidolon can give me a fortitude save DC 27 (this is an ongoing spell not a new one, so no AOO).

PCs are up.

eidolon goes before bad guy, right?

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Spell Resistance, elemental resistance or immunities apply?

"This is going to take a bit."
Laurel then moves around the corner of the door where he can't been seen and casts spectral hand.

Still flying and after making a quick prayer to Sarenrae Raphael tries to dispel the Antilife shell from the devil again.
Caster Level Check to Dispel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Damn it!

Eidolon did the action for round 2 full attack, round 1 was open door and move)
You made the save so no effect.

Terentius will try a dispel since his big gun went pfft.

dispel: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 nope

Yes, this is the big baddie, so I didn't pull punches. In the future ranged weapons might be a good investment.

Lucian and Darryl

Yeah, kinda wondering where everyone went. Thought Lauren had a trick in mind.
