Archibald steps over the fallen demon, ready to take the fight to whatever lies beyond.

Scarab Sages

Shalya coughs and has trouble keeping her breakfast down and has no other choice then to get out of the cloud

Clandelve , being made of sturdier dwarf stock just snorts a bit and then draws and throws a hammer at the creatureMiss chance Clandelve's hammer throw, low is miss: 1d100 ⇒ 95 and just barely manages to hit it. The hammer bounces of the creatures though skin doing a lot less damage then expected (DR, it looks like you threw a normal hammer) and moves out of the cloud

Heinrich then - being a though dwarf himself - manages to take down the dretch with just a bit of tearing eyes and moves into the room to check for the source of the chanting coming from within Not sure where you wanted to move, I've moved you just outside of the cloud for now, seemed to make sense, but doesn't see anything that could be causing the sound.

I'll treat attacks made after the dretch went down as readied attacks for now, I could have the rest take new actions, but in order to keep things moving (and I'll expect most to ready for an attack anyway since there's nothing visible at the moment)

As Kalaron, Cogstadt and the bearded human shake off the effects of they look around , ready to lay down the hurt on anything that might appear.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Suddenly the chanting stops and out of no where 3 small earth elementals appear and start to attack

There's a bit of an issue with Kalaron's reach..but his attack misses their AC anyway, so no problem there, Cogstadt might provoke when he fires his crossbow..but they'll just not take the AOO ..so no problem there either

At the starting appearance of the elementals Kalaron swings his axe through the air but fails to connect with any of them.
Cogstadt fires his crossbow point blank at one of them, but his bolt is harmlessly deflected by it's rocky hide (doesn't hit AC)

Archibald slams his staff at the head of one of them and manages to hit, knocking off some pebbles

green to hit AC Heinrich: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
blue to hit AC Archibald: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 18 They have tremorsense..so all though I'm not 100% sure they shouldn't get the miss chance from the fog I'm assuming that since they don't need to see to be able to target they are not effected by it, I could be wrong..making a judgement call on it for now
red to hit AC Archibald: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 11

One slams his fists down Heinrich but it just bounces of Heinrich's though armor
Archibald is less fortunate..one of them slams his fist down onto the ground next to him, which he can easily sidestep..but doing so he walks right into the attack from the other side
Damage Archibald: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Then from above and a bit behind Heinrich, hovering above the doorway a strange creature appears turning visible as it moves toward Heinrich, it's claws outstretched and ready to try to take Heinrich apart.

This unnaturally graceful creature has a bulbous fungoid lump for a head, spiny insectoid wings, and a tangle of spiky, clawed legs

DC 16 Knowledge (Planes):
This is a Mi-Go, but not a typical one (it's got class lvls) information will depend on the result of your die roll

to hit Heinrich flatfooted AC: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 2 + 4 = 31
hitting Heinrich while he's still unaware with one of it's claws
damage Heinrich: 1d4 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (3, 4) + 4 = 12
Grab vs Heinrich: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 4 = 23
it's claw not only biting deep within Heinrich flesh but also grapping hold of him, clamping on like a vice
Extra damage Heinrich: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
and a DC 18 fort save or loose 1d4 ⇒ 3 strength 1d6 ⇒ 1

It then tries to hit with it's other claws as well
To hit AC Heinrich claw 2: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 = 31
damage Heinrich: 1d4 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + (4, 4) + 4 = 15
To hit AC Heinrich claw 3: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21
To hit AC Heinrich claw 4: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 = 20
but only 1 of those hits as well

I guess I could have been mean and have it release the grapple as a free action and made the grapple attempt on each of it's hits and try to do more damage..but it seems like a ...cheap way to fight, so not doing it for now. But it could be a lot scarier. The added +2d6 damage is sneak attack damage in case anyone has anything against that

I thought that creature was going to be harder to take down...Heinrich looks like he had the right idea.

Clandelve, seeing Heinrich plow through the dretch, jumps back toward the fray with an attack on one of the elementals. Blue.

@Clandelve; I was still writing stuff,I submitted because I was afraid I'd loose everything I'd typed so far and then edited in the rest later. Should be updated now..that's the scary dude that just did 36 damage to Heinrich

Also just noticed..you jumped down a level to get to where you are..which is about a 10 ft drop..which means you could take damage and fall prone and stuff...

Cogstadt tries to work his way around the elemental to get to the creature that's at least hopefully has fleshy vulnerable parts (5ft step), while drawing his hammer and clobbering the elemental thing.

Actually, it is 30 damage - Heinrich has DR 2/Adamantine, but still, OUCH!

Taking a deep breath, Heinrich plants his feet firmly on the ground, and enters a defensive stance.

Taking his AC to 25.

He then struggles to break free.

CMB: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15.

Scarab Sages

Since Clandelve didn't change his action after he saw my full post going to assume he'll keep his action

Clandelve jumps down onto the stairs next to one of the earth elementals

deliberately jump down:
If a character deliberately jumps instead of merely slipping or falling, the damage is the same but the first 1d6 is nonlethal damage. A DC 15 Acrobatics check allows the character to avoid any damage from the first 10 feet fallen and converts any damage from the second 10 feet to nonlethal damage
. So acrobatics DC 15 for Clandelve or take 1d6 ⇒ 2 non lethal damage, no lethal damage..so not ending up prone
and swings his waraxe at it, hitting it but unable to apply enough force to get it to crack (doesn't hit AC)

Cogstadt drops his crossbow and wields a warhammer and miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 68 knocks a few pebbles of one of the elementals

Shayla stands there throwing up what ever was left inside from a few seconds ago while Heinrich goes on the defensive and tries to escape the grasp the creatures has on his body..but fails to struggle free.

Kalaron swings his axe at the elemental Cogstadt already was able to hit before shattering into a small pile of rubble.

I hadn't seen your notice about the jumping down until just now...I hadn't realized that the stairs went up and down at the same place...I thought they were all just stairs up to where we were (template and all the characters on it made it all look like the same staircase). Still, to not undo what has already been done, we'll consider that Clandelve jumped heroically down a 10' drop to try to save Archibald.

acrobatics DC 15: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Looks like Archibald is still up...

Scarab Sages

Going to give Archibald a bit more time before putting him on delay even though it's been my policy to move things along after a day since this is kind of a though fight and every action could matter right now. I'll update as soon as I will get a chance tomorrow

I also just noticed that Heinrich didn't roll his fort save DC 18 to avoid loosing 3 strength yet

Archibald, hearing Heinrich's cries behind him, holds his breath and presses deeper into the fog, his staff recalling his summon monster spell from earlier.

Thanks for waiting up for me. Yesterday I was performing and didnt have a chance to get to my keys.

Scarab Sages

As Archibald steps away from one of the elementals he starts to summon something.

The elemental next to Heinrich keeps slamming away at him
To hit Heinrich's AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 26 which even with Heinrich on the defensive hits
Damage Heinrich: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
The Flying insect thing tries to get Heinrich to lay down, squeezing his claw on Heinrich body (maintain grapple)
grapple sustain vs Heinrich CMD: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 5 = 30
and it's claws dig deep into Heinrich's flesh
Damage Heinrich: 1d4 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (2, 1) = 8 and another DC 18 fortitude save or loose 1d4 ⇒ 2 wisdom

(so with twice DR/2 ..I think that means that Heinrich is at 0 hps now right?)

The other elemental keeps following previous orders to attack 1C2A: 1d2 ⇒ 1 and goes for the closest target - Clandelve, instead of continuing his assault against the casting human
To hit Clandelve AC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18 but it fails to hit.

Hearing Heinrich's cry of pain, Clandelve risks being hit in the back by the elemental to run to his aid.

However, he cops wildly at the creature and is unable to harm it. Bah.

@GM: Normally, that would be the case, but because Heinrich just entered a defensive stance, his hp went up by 8 (As he gained 4 Con).

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11.

Heinrich feels his strength being sapped, but manages to resist the partial lobotomy. He responds by struggling (futilely) to escape!

Shayla moves past Kalaron and jumps off the small platform they're standing on.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18 It wasn't that high, was it? If it's lethal-ish high she won't do it.

Once down Shayla stands 5 feet removed from one of the earth elementals.

I can't fight... but I can distract one of them from the fight with the others...

"Hey rock head! Come here, softy!" Shayla says in an attempt to taunt the elemental that's closest to her.

Scarab Sages

Clandelve walks away from the elemental next to him who takes a swipe at his back To hit Clandelve's AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22 hitting the dwarf as he boldly moves to aid Heinrich Damage Clandelve: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7 slams his waraxe into the creature holding on to Heinrich, trying to distract it it seems..because he isn't hitting it hard enough to hurt (doesn't hit AC)

Heinrich struggles to get out of the grasp of the flying big insect like thing but doesn't manage to get free

Archibald summons an earth elemental that glides through the wall and tries to bull rush the thing away from Heinrich..I'm not 100% sure if it provokes since it's holding onto Heinrich with a grapple, but since it's an AOO I think you can also opt to just not take it..so as long as he doesn't take the AOO there shouldn't be any conflict but finds out that the (it's still flying btw, it looks like you didn't use earth mastery..which you indeed do not get to use, but you also get a -4 penalty) thing is much tougher then it looks (doesn't beat it's CMD)

Archibald then enhances Clandelve's strength

Shalya jumps down and is able to control her fall enough to land on her feet without causing her any discomfort.

Cogstadt tries to take a swing at the flying insect like thing from the doorway but fails miserably before stepping away

The insect tries to keep his hold on Heinrich burrowing deep inside his skull with it's claws

K..if I got this right, with the bonus 8 hps he got from the stance and the 2DR ..Heinrich is at -1 hp now? Since he would have been at 0 last round without the bonus hp. Kinda important right now since the elemental will be ordered to attack someone else now as opposed to keep pounding at Heinrich if he's still up. If Heinrich went down the insect thing will release him and turn around, focusing his attention on Clandelve while the elemental earth glides around to the other side.

Attack Elemental vs AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15
It seems the elemental will miss it's target whether it's Heinrich or Clandelve, but it still matters where it is..going to work with my assumption that Heinrich is down for now..if he isn't please correct me and we might have to ret-con some stuff...

Had a little senile moment and cast burning hands on my own elemental a mere round after summoning him. While hilariously fitting, I'd quite like everybody to survive this combat and thus amended my action.

Now with bulging muscles and seeing Heinrich down, Clandelve senses the urgency in taking this creature down before it goes through each of the party in turn.

Moving to flank with the friendly elemental, he lashes out with axe and shield.

"Yer messin' wit' me mate!" Clandelve yells.

The cloud dissipates and doesn't obscure your sight anymore

Shalya continues to be to sick to contribute to the immediate combat..but she's starting to pull herself together..soon she will be able to do what she wants again

@Archibald, unfortunately..that's not how pearls of power work. As it is a magical item, it takes a standard action to activate it to get a spell back

@Archibald at the moment you wrote your action, it's not possible to attack the insect unless you move your elemental by having it glide through the floor to the other room, which might be a bit difficult to explain where you want to have him moved since you can't see that much in there from where you are..and to be honest I think it might be a better move to go for the elemental right now ..so going with that for now.

Archibald's summoned elemental smashes through the other elemental in one powerful blow, sending pebbles and dirt flying everywhere.

Archibald then sends a few magic missiles into the bug

@Clandelve, you are not flanking with the elemental, there's a wall in between the insect and the elemental..and even though the elemental can glide through stone..I don't think that allows for it to flank

Clandelve steps onto a workbench (I think you can 5ft step onto difficult terrain, right?) and does a one-two combination attack with his waraxe and his spiked shield but the agile creature just flutters to the side and then it's though hide deflects the glancing blows that Clandelve is able to deal it (both attacks don't hit AC)

Cogstadt moves to try to hit the remaining elemental but his blow isn't hard enough to damage the elemental (doesn't hit AC)

Heinrich groans a bit as he has nightmares of claws invading his unconscious and behind those claws is a Black Goat

Heinrich:
I personally don't mind it if other players see it or not but I understand that it is a bit of metagamey , so to keep them in suspense.. just putting an answer here as a response

Kalaron swings his axe at the last elemental as well but it's almost as the thing can sense the metal in the axe coming and ducks just in time (doesn't hit AC)

The insect like-thing starts to move it's claws around while buzzing a bit (Casting a spell on the defensive; DC17)

Yes, I can 5' step into difficult terrain with Rock-Stepper. I thought the elemental was still threatening even in the wall...I'll take that off this time.

Clandelve continues his relentless attacks against the bug, but any time he swings, the creature simply dodges to the side.

Clandelve steps over Heirnich in an effort to shield the dwarf from further harm and to open up a flanking opportunity.

Agreed the bug is a MUCH bigger problem that the elemental it summoned. We need all hands on deck up here...I could really use a flanking buddy. If someone could get in position to the east of it, I will step over Heinrich. Also not sure if someone can try to heal Heinrich somehow...I'll be needing some too, I fear.

Just how high is this beastie flying? I'm uncertain if my elemental can even hit it, and if it's high enough could I target it with a glitterdust at a height that wouldnt effect Clandelve?

I have a wand of CLW, but I'd have to get lucky with my UMD rolls to effectively heal anyone. So Shayla's going to focus on killing the elemental, which will allow Kalaron to move north and apply some effective healing.

The anticipation of the beatdown I'm about to receive is killing me. That said, Kalaron, do you have anything that can get to Henrich?

Scarab Sages

Clandelve doesn't manage to hit the flying bug with either his waraxe or his spiked shield

Shalya get's her bodily functions under control again

@Archibald, the elemental can't flank right now. No room to do so with Clandelve and Heinrich is threatening at the moment the bug is flying at roughly ground level. It's just that he isn't touching the ground. the earth elemental can easily reach it..it just has some trouble with hitting it

Archibald starts to enlarge Clandelve
While his elemental steps inside the room and tries to hit the bug but fails to connect with it as it easily buzzes around in the around and evades the attack (doesn't hit AC)

Cogstadt smacks the remaining enemy earth elemental sending a small pebble rolling of it's shoulder before stepping closer to the doorway

Heinrich keeps struggling against the nightmares that invade his mind

Kalaron, just noticed you can now channel positive energy! That might be the easiest way to heal Heinrich...I think he's close to death.

Scarab Sages

Not sure what happened to Kalaron, so NPC-ing him in now..and what I think he would do is swing his axe at the earth elemental

Kalaron's axe vs Earth elemental: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

(can't crit an elemental...but luckily it doesn't matter this time)

With one well aimed (or lucky) swing of his axe Kalaron is able to shatter the last remaining earth elemental on the enemies side

The bug retrieves a wand from where it's tied to one of it's hind legs and aims it at Clandelve (drawing the wand provokes from Clandelve and the earth elemental)

Clandelve:

Seeing an opening when the creature reaches for its wand, Clandelve strikes out at it.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for MW Dwarven Waraxe damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"'Old on a secon'...I need ta 'elp me mate! E's in trouble!" he says as he moves over Heinrich and attempts to stabilize him.

If possible, I'd like to administer a potion of CLW to him rather than use my healing, since I'm not very good at it. That would be draw from my bandolier as move action and next round administering as full. If the charm won't let me do that (though I think it's in the spirit of the command), I'll use a heal check.

heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Scarab Sages

@Kalaron Ah, glad to see I guessed right then. And I guess you don't mind my roll either

@Clandelve it's a friendly suggestion..not a command..so it's your choice on how to follow it. So yeah, I think you can use a potion. As long as your are aware that that will bring Heinrich back prone at very few hps next to something with 4 attacks that has already proven that it's able to bring down Heinrich I'm fine with your using a potion

I won't be able to attack this turn, because I have to double move to even get to the enemy. Perhaps Cogstadt can take the elemental's place, and next turn Cogstadt also moves into the small room up north so I can 5-foot step and flank with Clandelve?

Shayla moves up the stairs and ends up next to Archibald's earth elemental.

"I'm back, guys!" she announces. "Let's take this thing down!"

I wonder if it's a better idea to lure it out there. Heinrich and I are effectively neutralized, and it's going to look for new targets outside, hopefully. Half the problem is that very few of us can attack it at once. As far as I can tell, I'm the thing's best friend until it tries to harm me, and I don't even get additional saves.
