Kronos, |
"Indeed, I do have a goal in choosing to be here and now. Although I cannot help to be here and now. Where is here and When is now are the only variables, and they seem so inconsequential. During this time, I seek to pay respect to the dead. "
Kronos half gestures to the enormous plant behind him, but he does not let his gaze slip from yours.
Upon further inspection, it becomes clear that the giant rose is an elaborate living coffin for a creature in the centre of it. Your view of the internal of the rose is obscured, but you can tell that this is a slender humanoid in the tomb-like chamber of the flower.
Kronos, |
Moving up to the flower, Alric smells decomposition, and burning hair, but it is masked by the flowery-sweet scent of the surrounding fauna. He can't see details of the body as it is fully encased by the thick petals.
Just then, Kronos' face changes slightly. There is a sense of urgency to his voice now.
"Come now, quickly. Stand together. Where the human stands is fine. No time like the present"
Teriwyth |
Kronos begins casting a spell to lay over your group.
"Now, I shall give you a vision of time to make you understand:Teriwynth: roll your spellcraft to identify the spell being cast, and you can make your counterspell attempt
Spellcraft 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 (+2 if I have the spell in my own spellbook)
Reflex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Kronos, |
Teriwynth recognizes the spell "create pit", but does not have a spell of the correct school prepared to counter.
"Insolent creatures! " Kronos cries. as Casvian and Teriwynth jump out of the way, the floor disappearing beneath them.
Kronos' rage is no longer masked. He casts a quickened spell on himself and stands prepared to battle hand to hand, with his fists glowing a sickly green. Alric notes even in his initial scan of Kronos that there are a number of powerful spells in effect on him. One effect sears Alric's magical senses with a blinding aura. stunned 1 round
"You shall see the vision of the abyss where you sent Feraralt, where you sent Lashilsh. I shall ensure each of you suffers for destroying my loves. My father cannot help you now, mortals!"
It becomes clear now that the Kronos before you is Kronos, the Son whom you have been warned about. The chain about his neck glows as his spells activate. The amulet is a strange machine of some description, and clearly magical in nature. The voice of Kronos echoes in the cavern, making it seem larger than life.

Teriwyth |
"You sir aren't the only one with a grasp of temporal magic." Teriwyth raises his right hand and speaks string of unintelligible words causing time to slow down for him and his companions.
Moving to H-12, readying an action to cast Haste via Pearl of power once I get more peeps in the area of effect.
Edelle Flexhorn |
My R5.5 position is my movement to whisper to Alric. Gah, I just noticed I failed to use the right alias again :(
RAAAAAAAA!

Magnu123 |
Two of Casvian's Arrows strike the nimble drow, sinking in far enough to do some reasonable damage. It is unnerving how the pain reaction is so dull in Kronos. Discipline and Rage are all that are visible on his face. Edelle also moves up to strike Kronos, after noticing Alric stunned by the magical effects Kronos is emitting. She swings her Bardiche from a safe distance so as to get a full attack in. On her final arcing swing, she slashes across Kronos' face, almost slicing across his eyes, but the wizard moves back to avoid serious damage I rolled to confirm your crit for you. No go, I'm afraid.
Teriwynth Lets fly his spell, reaching as many allies as he can. I'll let you pick. As it stands currently, your group is too spread for more than 2 people to be affected.

"You fools grasp nothing! Your feeble mortal lives can't begin to understand the complexities I have seen. "
Kronos casts another spell before moving to engage Edelle. He moves with lightning speed, faster than she is able to react. His grip seems to suck the energy out of her. She feels as though her limbs are growing brittle and her joints are fusing. 1 point of Dex damage, no save
Casvian's vision is dimmed as a ray of necrotic energy shoots from Kronos' hand toward him.
Finally, Alric is released from the powerful magic assaulting his senses and he sees things have gone downhill in a hurry.
two Fortitude saves each from Edelle and Casvian. Edelle is slowed if she fails hers. Casvian is blinded if he fails his. Edelle's DC is set at 22. Casvian's is 18
Teriwyth |
Teriwynth Lets fly his spell, reaching as many allies as he can. I'll let you pick. As it stands currently, your group is too spread for more than 2 people to be affected.
I'll say that i'll forestall my readied action and on my next turn move up more and cast so that I can target myself, Alric, and Edelle.
Teriwyth starts moving closer, drawing his rapier as he closes on the fight.
Moving Laterally from H-12 to E-11 and then casting Haste
Alric |
Alric summons his arcane power, and flings two chakram with a lightning backhand, drawing his sword in the same motion.
Arcane Strike

Fort Save:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Nat 1's always happen at the worse times
Casvian is preparing to nock another arrow when a dark energy hits him, and steals his eyesight. Afraid to hit an ally by accident he puts the arrow away, hoping someone can help him.
"I can't see.", says Casvian with despair clearly in his voice.
Kronos, |
Round 8
23-Kronos
17-Casvian
16-Edelle
10-Alric
9-Teriwynth
Casvian stands disabled in the middle of the battlefield. There is a tension rising in his chest. panic, perhaps a memory from his past resurfacing...
Edelle, feeling herself weighted down by her own bones, attempts to strike the drow, but is unable to do so. She nearly stumbles on the plant-matter beneath her feat.
Alric attempts to strike Kronos with his projectiles, but Kronos weaves between them as they pass without any sort of effort.
Teriwynth finally gets into position and unleashes his magic, hoping to aid his allies and even the playing field.
Kronos smirks maniacally before striking at Edelle again. He then steps back, and provokes an attack from Edelle by casting. As before, another fortitude save for slowing, take your AoO after the results. 1 point of dex damage either way. Teri, Alric, and Edelle make will saves against slow(to cancel haste) DC 21.
Teriwyth |
Dirty, and I don't have anything left to counter with.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Teriwyth shakes himself from the shock of his magic being broken like that, after a few shaky steps, more focused now he begins to recite the tale of the Kingslayers, when a few heroes went up against a tyrant king.
Inspire Courage
Alric |
Save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
abruptly changing focus, alric sheaths his sword and begins casting Magic missile, stepping to E6 as he does so. Nimble moves

If ever I can break CR, it's now
Edelle Flexhorn |
Will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Making that save leaves me at neutral right.
AoO w/Bardiche:
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 & Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
It's time for you to slow down a bit!
5' adjusting to F8, I unleash a flurry of kicks attempting to stun until I succeed then attempting to fatigue if I have attacks left. Also burning a Ki point for an extra attack.

10-Alric
9-Teriwynth
After a number of failed attempts to hit by her and her allies, Edelle finally strikes deep into Kronos' chest, causing him to double over twice with surprise at being hit, then by the stunning effect of her kick.
Casvian continues to hold out for any coming attacks. Without his vision, he is unsure what to do besides draw his blade.
Alric's bolts of magic energy are unable to pierce Kronos' resistances despite his best effort.
Kronos is stilled for a brief moment, stunned as our heroes have an opening to strike.
Edelle Flexhorn |
Having spent so much energy last round Edelle digs deeps and attempts to pile the damage on:
ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Ki point for extra attack again, but only the first is going to be a stunning kick:
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 & Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 & Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 & Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 12 & Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Teriwyth |
Going to delay action until after Kronos, barring extenuating circumstances I'm going to do the following come my turn, in any case Inspire Courage is still active, +1 to hit, +1 to damage, +1 on saves vs charm and fear effects.
--Inspire Courage--
Targets Affected: Alric, Casvian, Edelle, Teriwyth
A 1st level bard can use his performance to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the bard’s performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Teriwyth casts Tactical Acumen and moves to grant Edelle the flank.
Kronos, |
Round 10
23-Kronos
17-Casvian
16-Edelle
10-Alric
9-Teriwynth
Edelle lands every hit against the stunned opponent, and Alric unleashes a caustic liquid onto him that begins to burn.
Teriwynth waits for Kronos to move before casting his spell. As he waits, Kronos casts defensively, and disappears. Before leaving, he looks to the entrance of the cavern, and back to the giant rose. As he lingers on the rose, a softness is seen to come across his face "I shall not be so easy on you come the next time. "
A moment later, he is gone. with no trace of him left. perception check for Alric, Edelle, Teriwynth
