All together, by pooling their intellects, it becomes clear, quickly - the creature before them is a unique fiendish plant monster of some sort.

Though essentially akin to a glabrezu, it has much more involved with it than merely that.

Statistics-wise, it is a devil-bound (contract devil)-genie-bound thronefused fungal green warden glabrezu, with a few unique abilities, because, at this point, it doesn't really matter. CR 26, though with relatively low HD for that CR. It has a large number of "contracts" engraved into the throne - you piece together that these are the mephits turned to fiends - and the long, flowing scrolls across its body is its own contract... with, from what you can tell (which, to be fair, isn't much, as it's hard to read from so far away - you'd need close examination to be sure) seems to be with... itself?

And then... Inarus... remembers. He... recognizes... this... demon. More than that, he recognizes all three creatures: Posubaesnes ("the growing corruption" a glabrezu demon seeking to use his abilities for his own gain instead of mortals'), Noztonaniel ("blessed of darkness" a contract devil cursed by a powerful angel he slew, whose contracts always went poorly for both recipient and himself), and "'Shah' Gulzar-Jahangir" (an arrogant efreeti wish-merchant obsessed with plants and his throne, but deeply indebted to various fiends). Inarus Dishadraluongg, the Dragon Knight remembers these - remembers making deals, and contracts with them; remembers their wishcraft becoming etched in his own body's scales, flesh, and shadow - their wishcraft even making such a union possible in the first place, after he had paid much for them to "find ways" to turn that craft to his service -; remembers their duplicity and cunning ways; yet remembers how much they mutually owe each other, and he them, and they him, and how powerful their union was, together.

And now, these three powerful but relatively straight-forward creatures have been... almost fused somehow into a singular being. A singular body. A singular mind. All. That. Power. And then... devoured by some sort of... fungus. Replaced.

Inarus suddenly recognizes the handiwork of an exceptionally powerful wish - series of wishes, actually, probably each conflicting with the other and twisted to nonsensical degrees - gone very, very wrong.

Also, the source of the various creatures that were becoming fiendish.

This plant devoured and replaced some sort of wish-fueled nightmarish fusion of a set of monstrous allies of Inarus Dishadraluongg, from a previous life. Allies that owed Inarus Dishadraluongg much. Very much.

The unbidden rush of emotion, complex and unclear, rushes through the connection between the two heroes, and affects the jewelry at Usawoti's hand as well.

Mope's sheer hope and good will surges back through his master, chasing away whatever darkness just passed through.

"Please. Allow me to offer the generosity of a... host." it says.

"Of course, if you would prefer to be straight to... business..." the creature shudders with anticipated pleasure, "I would be... delighted... to do that, as well."

So: how would we like to proceed?

"I bet you'd be returning my mephits as undead, I know your lying kind. I find your lack of empathy, in treating other living creatures as nothing more then chattel abhorrent to my beliefs. We'll skip the pleasantries and go straight to business." Inarus snarls at the fungal abdomination.

"Your reign ends here now!" Inarus howls a defiant challenge.

Init: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

How do I handle the Eternal Seeds init?

how did I miss the "Your Reign ends here" Looks like I will edit a little

earlier
'What is that coming out of his mouth?', Usawoti, turns his nose, at the idea of this things breath floating over onto them, so with a wave of his hand . "Excuse me," he casts the gust of wind, hoping to blow the 'breath' the other way. "But what was your name and what business do you have that you think we would be interested in?"

now
As Inarus declares his intentions Usawoti smiles, and prepares a spell.
init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Inarus, I had Usawoti mounted on you, tactically speaking should he stay there or have dismounted and hid behind you?

Intersting! Should be fun! I will handle the ES init and actions (but please ask them to do specific things, if you like), but it'll take a bit to finish some things. I may update tonight, or I may not have the ability. We will see.

Inarus, your turn first, then Usawoti.

I wish to know what spells there are on - if my spellcraft check in discussion allows, since RAW it says something about 3 rounds and the GM is the arbiter of whether enough rounds have passed.

They have not. The third round will be the one on which you take your action, now. The most powerful spell is a Strong aura. As a reminder: you need one Kn. (arcana) check for each aura; so far you have made one - it will apply at the beginning of the next round.

If Knowledge arcana - I take 10 total 34 on everything.

Greater Dispel Magic - as per targetted dispel.

Targeted Dispel: This functions as a targeted dispel magic, but it can dispel one spell for every four caster levels you possess, starting with the highest level spells and proceeding to lower level spells.

Ideally I'd like to strip FOM, but I think since I didn't get a chance spellcraft it, it probably won't happen - as per

You can also use a targeted dispel to specifically end one spell affecting the target or one spell affecting an area (such as a wall of fire). You must name the specific spell effect to be targeted in this way. If your caster level check is equal to or higher than the DC of that spell, it ends. No other spells or effects on the target are dispelled if your check is not high enough to end the targeted effect.

Dispel check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Otherwise, apply the following:

Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make one dispel check (1d20 + your caster level) and compare that to the spell with highest caster level (DC = 11 + the spell’s caster level). If successful, that spell ends. If not, compare the same result to the spell with the next highest caster level. Repeat this process until you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have failed to dispel every spell.

But probably with that, it didn't work anyways.

Ideally I'd like to strip FOM, but I think since I didn't get a chance spellcraft it, it probably won't happen - as per

Please explain? I've a guess, but I'd like to know what you mean by "FOM" and why you expect it?

Freedom of Movement. Uh. Because I was paranoid - heh, and intend to use black tentacles later on him. But don't worry, with a dispel check like that, I wasn't expecting any better. Look on the bright side, its the few times I ever play with dispel magic, myself.

'Well here we go, I hope not talking with it is the right decision. Usawoti, still mounted on friend dragon Inarus, Holds on as Inarus casts his spell, then standing in the stirrups casts his hex and then begins to laugh maniacally: "Muah ha ha ha"

Standard: hampering hex, will save (20)–2 penalty to AC and CMD for 13 rounds or 1 if saves. move action: cackle add an additional round.

I will list Usawoti's defensive spell and ac/hp and such in discussion

Nyahahah~!

I'm back, suckers!

(Sort of. I promise nothing for the future.)

As Usawoti summons a blast of air, that quickly disperses the spores the thing just emitted, it raises an eyebrow and and begins, "Posubaesnes-Noztonaniel-Gulzar-Jahangir, Suzerain of Flame and Wra-"

It is interrupted as magical forces wash over it, twice.

"Hhhhhhhheh."

It blinks, twice. "Ô̈͒̀h̑̌̈́͛, ͮͯs̍oͨ́͆̌͑ͯoͫͯ̍̅̿ͭ̚~ỏ̇͆͛́̑oͣͤͩ̒̿̈ ̐̈́̍̓ȟͩ͋̈́̋o̔̾ͪ̂ͥͧss̈́̾ͣ̈̉s̉̂͂̈s͑̓͐ͫ̈͗͋ss͋̂͑̓͌tͭ̈́̌̓i͑̒l̋ͪ̑̅̈́̿e͗̈́̏̏̄̏" the fiendish enthroned plant purrs, the jagged gaping hole standing in for its mouth curves upwards in a smile. It shrugs casually.

”An abomination like you who has built its empire upon the pain and suffering of others does not deserve to live.” Inarus answers.

'I wish? is this what you wish? Your wish?' focusing his thoughts to Inarus "What is this things obsession with wishing, I know there is a genie in there somewhere, but is it trying to snag us in a demonic contract or is it unintentionally showing us a way to defeat it?" Usawoti, saying nothing to the creature, draws his hammer in response.

Telepathy to Usawoti

"I don't know. I think he's trying to contact some outside aid."

Inarus puts in some thoughts into scanning the contracts on the throne.

perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Urgh. Loremaster requires a standard action. Take 10 on knowledges then, if what he's saying has anything to do with weakening him. Arcana, nature, planes, religion, local 34, history 29

It blinks.

Then, "Or perhaps, you'd just like to speak your minds more plainly?" it says, suddenly snapping to some semblance of "normal" (though that concept could only loosely apply, at best, to this thing).

There is a brief pause, before it continues, "Indeed, we could philosophically discuss the merits of pain and suffering and what, exactly, counts, and who, and for whom and what purpose. After all, what living thing does not feed on death? And what is death if not suffering? And what is suffering if not a facet of life itself? Is thus not all life abominable? Should it not be extinguished? Or does it all serve some greater purpose in the whole? And if so: what is that purpose?"

As it does so, Inarus pours over the scribbles. It seems that they are contracts of a sort with various creatures, akin to the contracts with devils of the same name.

As Inarus plumbs the depths of his mind, he... understands. Rather, Dishadraluongg remembers. This was always "the plan" - find a way in, find a way to claim power over the whole - one bit at a time, if necessary - and then become an actual god, or close enough to it that it doesn't matter.

He recognizes the elementals, now. Not because he ever knew them, but because he understands the thing's plan - or at least the plan insomuch as the fiends it had to devour to become itself had.

The elementals are bound by contracts they entered. The "why" isn't important - they probably were enticed into it by circumstances, likely set up by the fiends and/or the plant monstrosity itself. Regardless, their contracts were ill-chosen and made with short-sighted or weak-willed reasons and intents.

Destroying contracts destroys his claim over a layer - but that is nearly impossible without destroying the creature itself. Forging a new contract and using it against him allows great potential - but potential danger.

Indeed, from your guess, it could be defeated with a properly worded wish and willpower, but you'd have to push more willpower than it, and you'd have to shove at more than a few of the wildmagic "strings" it has lingering around... and who knows with that stuff. You could erase - either by spell or claw - various contracts, but it looks like that'd be pretty hard to do (not impossible, but hard) without defeating the creature itself, considering it likely has several magic-contingent wards (and you'd need to touch it); and it's a really hard surface well-protected by potentially-devastating attacks. The contracts likely bring it a sort of power, but are a manner to gain power from it. The creature likely gains influence over a given level the more living creatures from a given level (dead are also valuable, but living are more-so) it holds contracts with. A curious quirk that such creature's power is devoted to this specific realm. It must have come into existence here, then. You are uncertain whether or not it is trying to "snag" you or it's just insane. New Sense Motive checks would be needed for that.

Sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

We're so not people people

I will avoid updating until both you and Usawoti make a choice on what you do. :)

sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 I don't think it will help much

Holding his hammer, Usawoti looks at his wrist, 'Can't hurt to ask''Quiet Gazer, do you understand what this thing is doing? Is it trying to 'snag' us or just insane?" Gripping the saddle with his legs, Usawoti asks Inarus. "What if we destroy all the creatures it has contracts with and then come deal with it?"

yeah, had a typo-o that needed fixed. I typed an 'H' instead of an 'N' so it said "Is it trying to 'shag' us or just insane?" I decided that would never do...

Telepathy to Usawoti

"We won't be able to destroy the contracts on the throne - he's got magic protections on them. I can't kill those elementals, they were deceived into entering into contracts with him. It's not their fault they are bound this way.That b@stard manipulated the elementals for power."

"I wish that all contracts by Posubaesnes-Noztonaniel-Gulzar-Jahangir are made null and void." Inarus speaks out in a clear resonant voice. 'With luck, the elementals may want revenge on him, or at least flee the place so that it will weaken its power and we won't have to deal with them. I don't wish to fight those that were compelled to fight us.' He thinks to himself.

Holding his hammer, Usawoti looks at his wrist, 'Can't hurt to ask''Quiet Gazer, do you understand what this thing is doing? Is it trying to 'snag' us or just insane?" Gripping the saddle with his legs, Usawoti asks Inarus.

Usawoti receives the equivalent of blankness - not a blankness of negation, but a deep uncertainty, usually borne of true ignorance; there seems to be no answers forthcoming from his jewelry, unfortunately.

The creature blinks. Again.

The world turns to darkness.

Strange flora begin to explode throughout and across the hall, forward and backward, running the length of everything you can see, and choking off all vision, as the world turns to darkness, swallowing all light. The vegetation doesn't stop, as it floods - and continues to flood - across your bodies, tangling and intrusive, grasping and demanding, binding and everywhere.\

Anarchy explodes across reality, as sounds accompanying no visible events play out, and people generally find themselves unable to tell what is truly happening.

The smells slam into Usawoti in lieu of sight. He feels Inarus solidify under him, and feels a sudden explosion of heat as fury washes over and through him.

And suddenly, the connection with Inarus is gone. It's like his friend is suddenly just... not there.

... and suddenly you are at the hole that lead to the lower "hell" - and this time, the billowing smoke isn't, and all is pleasant and growing and green, even as living things choke the hole below you, but are slowly transformed by the very mists seeping down into them.

From below Usawoti, he feels several presences... drip. The pool out, and coalesce, spiteful, hateful, cruel, and hungry.

... evil.

Voices, echoing and in chorus overlap and contradict. "D̩͈̜͖͚̻̓͒e̢̝͎̝̜͍̞͗̂͆̏͛ͦv҉ọ͉͍͇́̎̉͒u̻̦͈̙̳r̛̜͐ͮ͆.͓͔̙̲͒̑͛̐ͩ̈́ ̬͖͉̬̪͓̠ͭḰ̬͙ͅį͇͒̾̔̽̐ͦ̚l̈̏ͪ͏̗̗͓̦̻ͅͅl̽.͓̂̽͆̐ ͔̥̼ͨͤ͆̄͌ͣͧM̷͎̘̳͒̔u̯̱̬͝ͅr̫͉͍̩͓ͤ̓̉̆͠ď̨̟̲͈̆̆̂͑͗e͕̪̺ͩr̩̪̹ͦ͗̋̊̉́ͦ.̠͓̝͓͇̩̅͑̍ͭͫ̇̿ ̯ ͓̹͙͕̤̓̌̂ͫ͊̈́E̻̫̼͍̝ͨͭ͆͒̕a̋ͣ̏̈̆t͊̚.̹̖̈́ͪ̚ ͈̦̌ͥH̠̩̠͖̋ͫͦ̓̇̌̑̀ȧͬ͒҉͈̠t̫̜̱̣̼̩ͧ̊ͦ͋̓éͩͫͨ͛ͮ.̮̀͛ ̶̬͉̣͉̪̑ͨͬͩ̌ͫ͐H͎͎̗̮̫͓̑ͅū̶̬͎͒̒ͯ̋ͫ̈́ǹ̩͈̩̜g͕̘͕͞e̤̝̞̓̿ͫͣr͉̹͎͍̳̙͚̍ͬ͛̑ͩ̀.̻͖̊̋̏ͯ̂͝ ͓̟͕̣̫"

Usawoti realizes his friend seems to be a statue.

Quiet-Gazer is in a mild panic, urging you with emotions, strongly trying to warn you about how dangerous this is.

You see a horned blue-skinned sensually-shaped female covered with sores; a two-legged dragon ringed in frost and fury; a green one with a long thorny spike tail, two black-silken-robed and veiled monstrosities, each licking the air with triplicate; what can only be described as a "moon flower" twitching on the ground; and a hazy nightmare too terrible to contemplate; all beneath a giant tree that grows to quickly fill the passage with its noose-like branches. All of them are cloudy, on fire, and clearly starving and furious. Also, dead. That... doesn't seem to stop them from twitching and flopping about, demanding to eat you.

Roll initiative What do you do, my friend (you go first in initiative). They are currently affected by your hampering hex: they have 10 rounds remaining on the debuff. They are also currently prone (except, I suppose, for the tree). They have 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 1 = 5 rounds before they are no longer dazed.

'Oh sh*t what the hell have I done this time?! I asked for all contracts to be null and void not a freakin natural disaster!' He thinks to himself as his wish unleash apocalypse upon everything in the vicinity. He sees the freed elementals burst out in rage and attempt to lay waste to everything before them. 'Ingrates! I had you all freed from contracts you were deceived into entering and this is how you repay us?'

'Next time I am seriously going to think twice about freeing creatures. It seems that most people don't handle freedom well, and are better off imprisoned, for the safety of the world.' He thinks to himself. 'Yeah, time to make it out of here...' He draws upon his inner magic, teleporting himself, Usawoti and the Eternal Seeds to safety.

'Oh fish' He sees the blue skinned sensually covered female, the two legged dragon and a green dragon with a long thorny spiked tail and the moon flower, and the giant tree. 'Guess these people didn't like their contracts nullified...'

Telepathy

"Usawoti, I'm still here...I don't know what's happened to me." Inarus's mind voice sounds frantic. "I don't know what the heck I've become, this isn't me. I can't move, either!" Inarus's mind voice is panicked. "Is everyone all right? Can you fix me?"Inarus's thoughts spill out in a disorganized fashion.

Telepathy - ES

"Hold them back, while I try to sort myself out. Do you know what I've become?" He projects to the Eternal Seeds.

AKA Greater Black Tentacle the whole area

'what the heck. "I have no idea what you are either, we need to buy time so we can fix you.' Usawoti casts Stoneskin on himself.

Calling out to the motley crew arrayed against him. "Desiring to free this area of the blight that beset it, my dragon-friend has freed you from your contracts at great personal cost to himself. We have done what we came to do. We adjure you, leave this place before it's cravings overtake you and makes you it's slaves again."

I don't know that you require a concentration check or a diplomacy check, but here they are just in case.
concentration: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 4 = 34
diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
really hoping you don't need a diplomacy check

does he need to continue cackling to keep the hampered hex going or can he start again after ten rounds?

Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

HOLY DAGGUM CARP; well, at least the SM is enough to know: they are out to eat your flesh, and probably soul, too, if they can get it, and maybe your brains and spleen, and lick your spiritual stain until reality is left squeaky clean with no trace of Usawoti... they be ticked and hungry for you.

As more weird fluid gushes forth from your friend (ah, so it's a weird fluid gushing from the... chest, maybe, or neck? Hm.), beginning to resolve itself into monstrosities, you can clearly see the malevolence oozing forth from them, aimed directly for your person, as well as the statue of your friend you currently seem to be sitting on top of.

Usawoti manages to cast his spells with no difficulty.

is there anything immediately within hammer range? still trying to figure out what is the best move.

yeah, never mind, going to cast one more spell

'Looks like were not getting out without a fight.' Usawati realizing a fight seems to be imminent, casts Righteous might. As he enlarges he tells the assembled deviants or are they a disassembled deviant? "You still have the chance to leave, this is your final warning."

Usawoti's warning falls on dazed ears, as more things continue to spew from the dragon, one a new arrivals a fourth dragon-like creature itself.

Welp, you've three more rounds, now, of them being dazed. They are on the floor below you (you still being astride an Inarus spewing the things out onto the floor below you). There are now: four dragon-like creatures, three fiend-like creatures (four if you count the hazy creature of pure Usawoti's horror), <-creature in parenthesis, two plants, three dragon-like creatures, and nearly a hundred fifty orbs-with-gnashing-teeth (note: all still dazed). And the number is growing by the round.

Uh...?

Okay, the thread is back!

'What are we doing? I need to get a grip, "Inarus move! Try to move! I don't know how to help you!' encouraging his friend to try and move, Usawoti, not prepared to dismount his dragon friend yet, focuses on the horned blue-skinned sensually-shaped female covered with sores. And calls down Flame Strike. Also not ready with the math to do a physical attack, so doing the one offensive spell he has ready.

flame strike: 13d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 5, 6) = 44
half damage fire half damage divine. reflex save/half @ 19

The creature screeches as divine power slams into her, though she seemingly shrugs off the flames. All around her, there is a similar response to the power that encircles her, as you scorch female, orb, hazy horror, and tree!

The creatures all move and writhe in agony, save for the tree, which entirely collapses under the holy power!

"***̢* y͞ou!͡ ̛*̡**͡*̢ ̸e̶ve̴r҉ỳt̀hi̶-" it tries, as it is destroyed, utterly, by divine power.

Telepathy to Usawoti

"I can't! I don't know what has happened to me!" He yells back.
He is filled with relief as Usawoti comes to his rescue and his divine fire burns away the creatures. He tries to push away his fear and confusion as he tries to get control of himself.

Results of knowledge checks?

Full round action to take control

I'm sorry - I'm sick and feverish and coughing. I can't post anything else, right now. Feel free to either act on this, discuss it with each other, or wait. I hope to get back to it tonight, but I might not be able to. Sorry!

Telepathy to Usawoti

"These guys are the embodiments of the sins of Posubaesnes-Noztonaniel-Gulzar-Jahangirs. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished."Inarus's mindvoice has an edge of sarcasm in it. "We free the elementals, they go up in a bezerk rage, killing everything in sight, and now we have to deal with every sin that @sshat committed, coming back to haunt us." Inarus's mindvoice is cynical, and filled with indignation, and is more certain and less fearful and confused as he gets control of himself.

He also relates, telepathically of all the creatures that they are currently facing. "Watch out for the hazy thing and the shadow!" He warns Usawoti.

Id say you can look at the Spoilers that were marked Inarus

Sins of whom? I don't want to dismount if I don't have too, but we need more fire power, I wonder if it's time to shatter the icehammer.' Frustrated that the pustulated princes didn't die Usawoti turns and casts Cone of cold in her direction.

Cone of cold: 60 ft range Reflex save @ 20: half damage
damage: cold: 13d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 5) = 38

On my turn

Inarus enchants his claws with his innate magic, and tries to channel magic into his claws, horns, teeth and tail, then gathers his inner magic to form a shadowy fireball.

Arcane strike, <50 fails: 1d100 ⇒ 29

Due to clunky drawback – I am staggered

defensive concentration check, DC25: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Shadow evocation Fireball, <50 fails: 1d100 ⇒ 4

you gain a +3 luck bonus to the DC of any one ability declared immediately and cannot be changed, later.

I chose charisma, so it should be 27 if it works that way, otherwise I fail defensive concentration check and it doesn't pop out.

But his new stony form doesn't seem to be very....good for being a conductor for magic.

"Stone and Magic so do not mix. But at least I think I have some control over myself now."

'Some control?'Well that's good right? should we flee? and which was Posubaesnes-Noztonaniel-Gulzar-Jahangirs was that the previous owner of your dragon body or was that the dead plant demon jinni thing?" Usawoti shifts his earth breaker in his hands, "Try and move closer, let me see if I can whack something from up here."

Next round Usawoti will delay until Inarus tries to move,

Telepathy to Usawoti

"Sins of that dead plant demon Djinni thing! Which I swear really shouldn’t be our problem, since we didn’t even commit them. But well that’s the way the universe works…I suspect as he died all that unfinished business started coming after us since we were the nearest people next to Ground Zero. Call it bad luck by proximity.”

Inarus' stone body takes 4 cold damage (after all reductions - 38 divided by two is 19; 19-15 = 4) immediately before it animates.

Over-all, not a bad trade...

The powerful blast of frost slams into and down the hallway, but, though frost and rime build up on the lot of the creatures, their withered flesh seems to at first ignore the unpleasant insistence of the cold, but then the flames inside of them flicker, flare, and crack the nasty, dead flesh, the opposing elemental forces effectively effect devouring the incarnate sinfulness from within.

Three of the drakes, and many, many of the toothy orbs - over a hundred of the cacodaemons - are devoured entirely by their own furious rage and hate, collapsing into piles of frozen ash and compressed malice.

From the ashes where the tree collapsed a moment before, however, a vaguely humanoid figure lurches upward...

Perception checks, please.

perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Beneath the ashes, you find that it's janiform* twisted monstrosity, which - obvious with your knowledge checks - is a living embodiment of gluttony and wrath. This is what is birthed from the destruction of the ruined previous embodiments of the same - it is very likely that every one of the destroyed undead will be reborn into these within a short period of time (1d4 rounds after destruction).

Your combined Heal checks note that it is dazed for this round, as they all likely will be...

* Note the two links; they are different.

"What the...freak in...hell are these?" Inarus curses as he tries to get his stony @rse moving. "Begone you hellspawn and go back to the abyss wherehence you came from!"

He starts letting magic flow through his body as he tries to get his body doing something, physical, this time, and tries to smack the living embodiment of gluttony and wrath with his stone body.

Despite his lurching, unsteady nature, the stone Inarus manages to rend the incarnation of sin into a vague smear and spray of gore.

One more question: we are now fighting "Sin" and Usawoti will be using his Holy Hammer. By definition is "Sin" evil or just immoral, unethical and antisocial??? :-)

Edit: I mean gluttony, it's unhealthy but is it truly evil? And anger, there is a quote that says "Be angry and sin not." so if you can be angry without sinning...

Evil, in this case! Go to town!

'Excellent, Dragon Inarus is moving! I may as well hit something.' Leaning to his left as Inarus attacks the new incarnation, Usawoti swings his hammer at pustule filled female.

since Inarus is the one doing the moving is this a full attack for Usawoti or a movement and attack? If it isn't a full attack please ignore the second attack

full Attack: + 1 Holy flaming earth breaker
attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30 for damage: 3d6 + 23 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 23 + (4) + (2, 6) = 41
attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 for damage: 3d6 + 23 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 23 + (1) + (3, 5) = 40

You know, that's a good question. I think it's considered that you take a "move" action to "ride" whatever "mount" you happen to be on, lacking something like Pounce - hence the functionality of RageLancePounce - so it would only be the first attack. Doesn't matter, though, because...

Usawoti's hammer connects with and explodes the undead fiend's head, causing the corpse to shatter into ashes and compressed malice.

The remaining creatures surge forward, their fury and rage thrusting them forward in pure hatred, finally overcoming the dazedness of their creation!

They begin swarming the two of you, clawing at the stone dragon and trying to grasp and pull down an enlarged Usawoti into their ravening horde.

Due to exceptionally poor rolls on my part - no damage this round!

did any of them move enough to give up an AOO or three?
please delay Usawoti's attack after Inarus' I went ahead and rolled cause I'm headed to bed.
'Well, here they come. "Are we Going to stand here and let them hit us or are we running? Can you tell how Eternal Seed is doing?" Not taking the time to speak Usawoti communicates with friend dragon Inarus telepathically while he screams and whacks away at any evil undead left standing after Inarus' attack. 'Aaarrrrrggghhhh!"

Usawoti will attack the largest threat remaining after Inarus' attack. If were staying in place please use both, if Inarus is moving use just the first, and feel free to roll for any AOO's the undead horde may give up...

Full Attack: + 1 Holy flaming earth breaker
attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42 for damage: 3d6 + 23 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) + 23 + (2) + (5, 6) = 50
attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 for damage: 3d6 + 23 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 23 + (3) + (2, 5) = 38
confirm drit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26 for damage: 6d6 + 46 + 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6) + 46 + (1, 2, 2, 1) = 76 does the holy count on the crit? I didn't think the fire did
so I left it off
