Satanic cultist |
Paddy dances out of the way if one ray, only right into the second. The flames do not seem to hurt the crazed Irishman much.
Oy, you little bugger....you singed my favourite cloak....I like this cloak.
He then shoves hus rapier towards the face of the cultist that hit him.
Paddy's rapier thrust takes the nearest of the two remaining cultists in the chest as he chants and forks his fingers....
Concentration check vs DC 15 to get off the burning hands 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 succeeds!
Satanic cultist |
Round 2
Let's just say my first crap roll was my Aoo
[dice=second round attack on injured cultist.]1d20+5+2;1d6+1+1d6
AAAAARRRGGGGGGHHH!!!
The ninja appears out of the shadows and misses with his first attempt to disrupt the cultist's spell, dodges the roaring cones of flame (mostly.... He stills takes a total of 6 fire damage from the two burning hands spells), and slips a retaliatory thrust past the cultist's guard and into flesh! The second cultist falls, succumbing from multiple wounds....
Satanic cultist |
I think Jimeno is close and has reach so he would at least get an attack with the lance as an AoO maybe. Also one of the cultists needed to make a DC 14 will save.
Round 2
=======Nacht moves up and tries to skewer one of the cultists to death.
[dice=Multi Longsword Slash]1d20+2; 1d8+3
[dice=Multi Gladius Slash]1d20+2; 1d6+1
[dice=Multi Gladius Slash]1d20+2; 1d6+1
[dice=Multi Gladius Slash]1d20+2; 1d6+1
A flurry of cuts on the third cultist leaves him pale and gasping in pain!
Michael Johnson 66 |
Fray Manuel Jose, when Mike misses one of my questions (It happens frequently.), I re-post the question and pleasantly remind him to read ALL the PCs' posts and to remember to reply with an answer.

Standard Action: Fire into Melee
5 foot step to remain in 30' -- only if necessary[dice=Watch This!]1d20+4 -4
[dice=damage]1d4+1NOTE: Remember Fireskorn gets 2 rounds of attacks to do.
WHIIIIIZZZZ!
The bolt flies past a cultist into the relief image of The Beast....
Satanic cultist |
Taking a night away from mypc and the thread blows up in my face.
Jimeno will stab at a cultist that tries to cast.
[dice=AoO]1d20+4;1d8+4Next round
Jimeno moves over trying to flank a cultist if possbile, but using his reach to threaten the cultists and attack one from a distance.[dice=Attack]1d20+4;1d8+4
Jimeno keeps the second cultist dodging madly to avoid his thrusts, only to move into Hisao the ninja's deadly thrust!

Tumbling past the cultists, the nimble samurai snatches the wailing infant from the altar, then reverse somersaults backward past the cultists again, drawing two AoOs as he does so....
AoO 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 misses....
AoO 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 nicks the samurai's thigh for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 piercing damage with a curvy dagger!
Satanic cultist |
One wounded cultist remains standing.... Even with the skull mask hiding half his face, his growing terror of imminent doom is apparent!
In French: I renounce Satan and all his evil works! Forgive me, Lord Jesus! Have mercy on my wretched soul!
Dropping his dagger, the cultist drops to his knees before Nacht and raises his hands together in a pleading or praying gesture....
Alphonse Veritas |
Alphonse warily keeps his weapon at the ready and quests out with his God given sense for evil.
Move action Detect Evil, which should only ping if he currently has evil intentions. Standard action to Ready an attack if he tries to attack.
Archangel Gabriel |
Gliding with radiant wings outspread, riding the thermals far above that green and populous patch of Creation known to Men as France, the alpha solar arcangels Gabriel and Michael pierce through stone and earth with supernaturally keen sight to perceive the adventurers struggling against their God's enemies to do further His Divine Will, and smile....
But then Gabriel frowns as he hears nearby, in the coterminous Seven Heavens, the noisy chuckling and rambling and clapping of The Monkey King....
He turns to Michael and speaks fairly:
'Tis not meet that the servants of the pagan monkey-god should be so well rewarded for their faith, while the servants of Our I Am, The Alpha and Omega, go about as paupers.... Do not goodly Alphonse, Fray Manuel, Jimeno Diaz, FireSkorn, blessed Jean of the Sea, and those others who serve Our Father in Heaven deserve gifts of equal measure to this monkey-god's ring of stealth and deceit?
Saint Michael the Archangel |
To Gabriel the Archangel:
Nay, just Gabriel, my brother.... Let us make even the uneven.... Let us make straight the path of the righteous.... Let us make clear the Way of The Lord!
The arch-solar dives Earthward, hurdling like a comet, to a blacksmith's forge in the village of Tours, where he assumes the guise of a wealthy farmer and approaches the master dwarven weaponsmith who owns the shop....
To Gloin Ironbender, Master Weaponsmith:
Good Sir Ironbender, I have heard thou art greatest in thine art in all the lands of men.... Canst thou forge for me a scythe blade from this bar of star-metal I have procured from smoking pit in Saracen-Land? A blade keen enough to sever the head of a tarasque or a jabberwock?
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Uh.. Oh..
The man fell to his knees pleading for forgiveness. It was a fleeting chance at survival. He pleaded and whined... and it stirred something in Nacht. A memory, one of.. pleading.. or screaming.. of praying.. of Jesus being called.. A face in anguish.. a knife being heated up and applied to the skin. Nacht's eyes turned red.
" Sie sind nicht nicht annähernd genug schreien genug .. " his disposition changes the strikes going for areas that would cause the most pain rather than to kill, then to kill. It was brutal.
Multi Longsword Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Multi Gladius Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Multi Gladius Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Multi Gladius Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Multi Gladius Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
It would also ping if he was higher level or a cleric of some kind
Gloin Ironbender |
To disguised Archangel Michael:
Thou hast glamorous friends, indeed, Mister Farmer, Sir! It will be my greatest honor to work with that legendary Lady-Dragon of the Sun.... But can she leave her molten lair to grace my humble forge here in Tours? For I fear I'd be incinerated by the fires of her blazing realm were I to travel thence, and besides, I have no means of travail beyond mule and cart, which art insufficient to traverse the starry void....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
The cultist twists and shrieks in agony as The Beetle Man tortures and mortified his flesh....
He collapses, eyes rolling back in his head as he loses consciousness.....
Gloin Ironbender |
To Master Ironbender:
Fear not, Master Ironbender! The Lady-Dragon shall come to thine humble forge for the work to be finished!
Well then, this leaves only the matter of payment for my services..... Shall we say..... A herd of half-gold dragon sheep with Golden Fleece?
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Nacht twists the blades inside the man before pulling out and looking to the party, the crimson slowly ebbs from them returning to their yellow hue. he appears unphased from the endeavor but looks around.. a if momentarily confused.
Paddy |
I think our friend Mr. Nacht here might have a different interpretation of justice. Yes he gadsurrendered, but I am not uncomfortable with what he did. Think, lads. Would he have honoured your surrender if the tables were turned? I think not.
Paddy says with a serious tone.
Akio Derick Ryuu |
Akio gently lays the infant into the friar's care and turns towards the crude scene. He firmly grasps the hilt of his blade and strides right in front of Nacht.
in German yay for truespeaker alt. racial trait! 2/linguistics level is nice.
He will scream no more now, whether honest pleas or not, shedding blood with such... savor... It is wrong, it places you at no better a level than our enemies. Who are you to judge a man? while they may have been honorless, even evil, it is not our place to condemn them. Explain yourself. Now.
little hostility is found in Akio's words, though there is an intensity in his gaze and a readiness to his posture.
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Nacht is not sure why the armored being was shouting but knew he was... upset perhaps. It surprised him too for the pile before him was stabbed multiple times but seemingly from him. It mattered not, he was an enemy.. most likely with the Necromancer.. the NECROMANCER! That title seethed in Nacht but he didnt fully know why. Even stranger the scorch woulds seem to start to sizzle as steam comes of the Insectoid man.. and the burns seems to.. rapidly replace the scar tissue that was damaged. His carapace had weakened in that time however.
His wounds were gone in a manner of seconds. And then the hardiness that shown before returned,
Switched to Worm Focus then Back to Beetle.
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Nacht just looks at Akio, not impressed or unimpressed as if looking at grass, he seems to have little idea what he is speaking of, more to the point he is wondering how he seemed to speak his language.
Hisao of the Yellow Reeds |
Huh Hisao is somewhat disturbed by the turn of events but hey, the guy was killing to kill a baby so maybe this was justice. In any case Hisao takes 20 to search the area for things while the others debate morality. 26 perception, will aid if someone with higher perception searches as well
Akio Derick Ryuu |
Akio stares back then finally speaks, speaking both to Nacht and paddy.
speaking in french, as he has come to believe that it is the most universal language in the group he finds himself with.
Only the honorless kill those who have surrendered to them. If we cannot shine a light into the darkness of others, what hope have we of ridding the world of it? My home land knows nothing but war, strife, and betrayal. My father fights even now to bring an end to this. But to defeat this enemy, he teaches that you cannot allow yourself to be brought to its level, if you do you have already lost. Seek not to merely kill your enemies, seek to show them a better path. I believe that is what this, god, of yours seeks is it not? We must show a better way. These people know deceit, war, strife, hatred, revenge all in good measure. We must teach them of compassion, kindness, understanding. Even if few heed us, and the rest reject these we have won a victory. A life of darkness and evil can be changed, a life taken cannot.
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Nacht looks at him and blinks. " Ich bin nicht du. Ich habe nicht zu Ihnen. Ich weiß nicht, was Sie zu sprechen . Eine Spinne zeigt keine Gnade , um sein Opfer , ebenso die Gottesanbeterin oder Ameise. Tiere zu töten, die ganze Zeit, ich bin sicher, ihr Opfer bittet . Er war ein Feind, den er jetzt tot ist . Feinde getötet. Ich bin hier , ich bin nicht von Ihrem Land. " He turns away to begin stripping the corpses. He seemed not to care.
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson |
In French, Latin, German, English & finally Celestial
I believe that, if one is redeemable, well, I feel that we should do what we are able to to accept one's surrender -- and bring him or her to an appropriate authority, such as a King, Earl or Duke -- one that is honest and just, not just in authority.
Alas, I say plainly, I do not trust many clergy-folk. In my experience there are as many within the christian church who do evil as there are who do righteous. But the nobility, whether just or unjust, have authority.
Certainly there may come times where we can not so easily ascend to a great city from its underbelly and go to the noblemen. We may have to administer justice ourselves -- but with the cultist before us we can easily take upstairs for a fair trial.
We must go upstairs anyway, to bring the child to safety.
.... In other times -- with those who are irredeemable, Gremlins perhaps, and the undead -- let us destroy them.
Akio Derick Ryuu |
Akio releases his blade and stares at Nacht.
Then you are no better than those you slay and name prey.
he turns towards the others.
Let us be on our way. I say we should return to the surface, we cannot continue with such a small child in tow.
Hoenheim Dobberkau *Nacht* |
Nacht points to the small being, " Sie sollten auf die Nachkommen neigen . " he didnt seem to care one way or the other. " Stellen Sie sicher, es gewässert wird und eingezogen. "
" Make sure it is watered and properly fed. "
Hisao of the Yellow Reeds |
Hisao points out while continuing to search for shiny things.
Fray Manuel Jose |

Looking at the disguised angels and speaking in Celestial
Well did St. Thomas Aquinas speak of the heavenly host arriving at great hours of darkness. Well did the Evangelist write, Then war broke out in heaven; Michael* and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, 8but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. Now have salvation and power come, Oh Prince of the Heavenly host
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33to go through religious stories of the angels appearing as common people to help the servants of God.
