Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

Varda finishes off the last retriever demon. Combat Over.

Continuing on further into the ruins, your next foe seems to be a large elephant headed demon. Four great backward curving horns sprout from its head behind its eyes. Its skin is slate gray with darker areas on its underbelly and back. It has massive arms and thick rounded legs.
Planes.

It trumpets a challenge at you!

Gorn!

KN: planes: 1d20 + 15 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 15 + (5) = 21
Defenses, Sp Att, SLA

Or not

Gorn-Rel will run forward and meets its challenge. He tries to grab on to it, but he cannot get a firm hold.

Grapple: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 29

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Neither Aen nor Varda can tell what this creature is. The demon rages, sprouting claws as it tries to take a hold of Gorn.

Grapple: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (16) + 32 = 48

It grabs the puny god by the leg and slams him into the ground repeatedly.

2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 1) + 15 = 23

Make a DC25 Fort save or be stunned for 1 round, Gorn. Party is up.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Grapple (Reverse): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 29

Gorn-Rel was not stunned, but he couldn't get a good grip on the demon.

Retro CMW: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 8) + 10 = 19

Na'shok grants his allies demonic speed while Gorn wrestles with the enormous demon.

Hastetastic.

Varda frowns at all the people in her way, then shrugs and fires off a quartet of arrows anyway. Can Larissa step SE so that Varda can 5' step north please? Assuming yes.

Attack (PBS, rapid shot, haste, cover): 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 1 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 24

Attack (PBS, rapid shot, haste, cover): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 10

Both Nash and Larissa step out of the way so the Toragdin can fire unimpeded. No cover!

She is able to land two shots on the brutish demon though her shots do less than she had hoped. But she does draw first blood.
Aen!

Keep in mind that DR only applies once.

I accounted for that.

Aen begins firing arrows at thing.

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 11

Aen lands three of his four shots at the demon. His shots though do only minor damage.

The hulking brute attempts to toss Gorn like a ragdoll again.

Grapple for damage: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (9) + 37 = 46

1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Prince meet floor: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (8, 2) + 15 = 25 And another fort save DC25, Gorn or be stunned for a round.

Greater Grapple: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (14) + 37 = 51

1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Party is up!

Damage: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 4, 8) + 11 = 27

Bleed Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 5, 7) = 15

The demigod takes his bruises but finally finds his footing. Pinning the elephantine demon to the floor, Gorn-Rel begins to pull its arms out of their sockets. Blood spurts everywhere.

Varda makes like a set of church furniture.

Pew!: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12

Pew!: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 16

LOL.

Gorn inflicts moderate damage on the now pinned demon. Varda lands her first pair of shots. Aen and Nash!

Aen fires more arrows at the demon, calling on Deadeye's Bow to make an arrow of slaying.

2 Mythic points for EO slaying arrow.

Na'shok charges forward and jumps into the dogpile!

I think you technically need brutal grappler to do anything more than aid in a grapple. =/

Aid Gorn's CMD: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 1 + 4 = 24

CMD: 43

It's technically a standard to activate the bow. But you can amazing initiative it so it isn't a big deal. But it does mean you get another shot!

Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

Aen's Missing shot: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24

1d8 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Aen lands all of his shots dealing some damage while Nash jumps into pile to hold the beastly demon down.

The brute tries to regain control so he can thrash the prince.

Grapple: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (18) + 32 = 50

Ragdoll Gorn: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (5, 2) + 15 = 22 You know the drill.

Greater Grapple: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (20) + 37 = 57

1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

It overcomes the handicap match that this fight has become and throws one of his heelish attackers to the ground again before squeezing him in a demon-hug. Party is up.

How big is this demon? It would be very amusing if the demon were Medium sized and throwing Gorn-Rel around, since Gorn is Large himself right now.

He's large too. When did you enlarge?

When Aen was handing out extracts.

Yep, I spaced the standard.

Well I didn't see you post that you drank it. Please be more clear in the future.

"The prince thanks Aen and starts knocking back the various infusions before heading towards the belltower." I thought this conveyed that I drank all the things he gave me besides for the ones I held back until combat. I will try to be clearer in the future if that sentence was unclear.

Yea, just spell out which ones you're drinking.

Nash, can you step NE please? Thx.

Varda lands two of her shots, one landing in the brute's face. Gorn is almost able to regrapple the demon but the demon surges with strength to make sure it is still in control. Strength Surge for 6 to his CMD. Aen and Nash!

Na'shok concentrates, sharing his ferocious will with his companions.

Battle Spirit. +2 morale to attack and damage.

Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Gorn-Rel matches strength for strength and overpowers the demon.

Aen keeps firing arrows.

Aen fires his bow, landing a pair of alternating shots.

The demon attempts to regain control.

Grapple: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (13) + 32 = 45

The prince is picked up and then powerbombed to the floor.

2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 5) + 15 = 27 Fort save DC25

Followed by a chokehold!

Greater Grapple: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (9) + 37 = 46

1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Na’shok continues to empower his companions with his aura of might and leaps back into the dogpile. Maintain battle spirit.

Grapple to Aid CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Aiding CMD didn’t seem to help much.

Gorn is apparently more hurt than I was aware.

Seeing the battered prince lifted high overhead, Na’shok channels a fragment of his mythic power and springs forward, spearing the brutish demon in the gut with his shoulder.

Sudden Block Spear: 1d20 + 14 + 4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 4 + 1 + 3 = 41
Damage (ignores all DR): 1d3 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 4 = 18

He needs to roll a second time for the first grapple check and Gorn’s CMD is one higer!

CMD 42

1d20 + 32 ⇒ (17) + 32 = 49

The brute keeps his grip despite Nash's strike, however he loses it a few moments later as his is arched down by Aen and then Varda. Combat over!

Gorn is in need of a bit of healing. He is at -17

Ah, I had also failed to realize you were that low. You should update your header more often, or at least post current HP in your combat posts!

Varda hurries to Gorn's side and attempts to stanch his wounds.

LoH: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 5, 2) = 16

DM, did I need that last Surge?

My header is pretty up to date. I change it every combat round. Thank you for the healing.

To confirm the crit? Yes.

Agreed. I have a hard time telling what’s actually hitting you so I often have no idea how much damage you’ve taken and your narrative certainly didn’t read like someone on their last legs.

Na’shok offers the prince what healing salves the party has left. I think we’ve got a couple more of those CL 10 Cure Mod potions if you’re still down HP.

To confirm the crit on this most recent shot, after all four of Aen's shots hit.

Yea you needed the surge. Y'all ready to move on?

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 8) + 10 = 23

I'm ready.

After some care from his allies, the hobgoblin demigod was ready.

"There are mighty foes here."

The party moves further into the ruins which open up a lot more, the ceilings reaching 40 feet high. In the distance, a four armed demonic woman is trying to break down the door to the belltower. Behind her is a very ugly woman screaming at her. They are having little trouble and they seem to be wounded by just being near the tower. They do not seem to notice you. However before you can interrupt them, a pair of fins erupt from the ground coming towards you before two creatures burst out of the ground. Two huge beasts that rest atop four thick legs that end in sleek, curved claws, and bodies covered in red-hued armor plates that drip with foul ichor. Their eyes glow red like hot coals, and strange veins between its plates pulse and glow like flames. Along their spines, a slender armored crest peaks at mid-back, much like the top fin of a shark. Planes.

They both charge forward!

Bite vs Gorn! Flatfooted: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

Jawesome!: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 4) + 16 = 22

Bite vs Nash! Flatfooted: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Jawesome!: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 5) + 16 = 26

If you're hit, you also have to make a DC25 fort save vs poison or take 1d3 ⇒ 2 con damage. Party is up.

Gorn-Rel steps out of the way of this confused looking monster. I don't care what it is it will die just the same.
