You catch him
Gonna kill him?
He goes limp and weeps again
|
"Oh get ahold of yourself. Waiting another couple hours won't be the death of you. You'll be out of here soon enough. " and he picks up the limp form and carts him into the mansion. Setting him on a couch like a sack of potatoes, he will go about getting a bath, having his armor cleaned, and eating a good meal.
He tries to speak
If you kill him I will never leave. I must go show him I have the book. If I do not I will never fulfill my contract. You are not going to deal with Chyvim you are going to kill him then I will be trapped. Just let me go. He knows you are here already. Just let me go.

"I agree with Duhwoo here.. We do not seek to kill him, if he wishes to bargain our release.. If he refuses to let us out without a devious contract then yes we will kill him.. If we allow you to leave before us than you can claim victory and the prize, which is why we're here in the first place.. That I cannot allow.. You came here knowing full well what the consequences could be.. We will try our best to get you out with us, but you will not be allowed to go ahead.."
no I have to see him alone! Otherwise I break my contract!. He breaks down into tears again
intie my hands and you can see it. I have to get it [/b
i don't believe you you are trying to trick me you just want me to die here.. He dissolves again
Sorry missed the sm
He does not reply he just weeps. It appears he has checked out mentaly. You do not find his contract on him and I don't want to know what spaced you checked

To the group after the guy passes out.. "Look I have nothing against helping this guy outta here.. Same for the rogue, even though they both have dealt sourly with us.. But i'm not letting him go first.. This has been way to much hassle to not get the coin at the end.. With that said I'm willing to see what the fiend has on the table before we out right attack him.. Perhaps we can get the poor mage's contract nullified.. I seriously doubt the ruler was gonna let him leave alive anyways.."

"Now that i think about it Devil's are pretty serious about their contracts.. I was thinking of Demon's for some reason.. Long day.. And it just dawned on me that the winner has to be out within 24hrs.. He's been in here for a year, so if we're convinced that he's not gonna turn on us perhaps we can let him go.. Thoughts?"

Acceptable to me. It does not seem like any advantage is yielded to the master of this place by letting this soul be on his way. My concerns now are that Terentius neither broker further deal with the master of this plane, nor otherwise act as an agent against our interests. What say you, Terentius?
Terentius has competed disengaged. Apparently he has begun to see you as just another trap and torture placed here. He was pretty adamant before that he just wanted to leave. Conclude his contract and go.
It takes a good 5 minutes before he moves. He slowly picks up his book and moves out into the hall. Clearly expecting to be killed he moves to the end of the hall and slithers through.
So you are all rested
The door opens
Two summoning circles dominate this high-ceilinged room. A
pair of stairways flank a set of double doors on the east wall,
each leading to a balustraded balcony overlooking the open
central floor beneath.
Those with planes recognize a barbed devil and a devourer they argue in infernal
stealth chcks please

when Duhwoo's initiative finally rolls around, he will start Raging, walk into the room, taking a south-east diagonal upon entry, then two more squares east -- or as needed to position one square away from both targets (not adjacent to either), setting up for a classic Reckless Lunging Cleave attack (using Lunge, Power Attack, Furious Focus, and Reckless Abandon).
if 40AC hits big guy,
if 40AC hit big guy, then Cleave onto smaller target --
if 34AC hits medium dude,
ok post coming in a few hours. Man way to kill those stealth rolls lol. The mod lists what their minus is for arguing and I will add in the minuses for distance...but I have a feeling you are not getting the drop on them.
Avoreal I will post what you know about them in a bit as well

DC 16 (Religion) Though uncertain what this creature is, you are positive it is one of the undead. This reveals result all undead traits. (Planes) Though uncertain what this creature is, you are positive it is not native to the material plane, though you do not believe it to be an outsider.
DC 21 This creature is a devourer, a horrific undead monster that can typically be found stalking prey on the Ethereal and Astral Planes. The tiny figure in its rib cage is the trapped essence of a slain opponent upon which it feeds to sustain its unnatural life.
DC 26 The devourer is named for its ability to consume an enemy's life essence. The devourer reaches out and touches its victim, that is slain instantly if their body fails to resist the devourer's horrific magic. The slain creature's essence is trapped within the figure in the devourer's ribs which takes on the features of the victim. Only the most powerful magics can free the victim, though destroying the devourer has the same effect. Luckily, a devourer can only hold a single essence at a time.
DC 31 A devourer's touch drains the life energy of its victim, inflicting a negative level with ever touch. It can even do this through the use of its spectral hand spell-like ability. Devourers are also resilient to magical attacks.
DC 36 As well as providing sustenance to the devourer, a trapped essence can also be used to power an array of spell-like abilities that the devourer has access to. Using the essence in this way diminishes its power and can eventually destroy it. As well as this, the devourer can also use the trapped essence to be the victim of certain spells that make it past its spell resistance, including all charms and compulsions, making these spells effectively useless against these creatures.
Defensive Abilities barbed defense; DR /good; Immune fire, poison; Resist acid , cold ; SR
Spell-Like Abilities (CL
At will—greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), hold person (DC ), major image (DC ), produce flame, pyrotechnics (DC 16), scorching ray (2 rays only) 1/day—order's wrath (DC ), summon (level 4, 1 barbed devil 35%), unholy blight (DC )
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Barbed Defense (Su)
A creature that strikes a hamatula with a melee weapon, an unarmed strike, or a natural weapon takes points of piercing damage from the devil's barbs. Melee weapons with reach do not endanger a user in this way.
Fear (Su)
A barbed devil's fear attack affects any creature it damages with its claws. A DC 20 Will save resists this effect, otherwise the victim becomes frightened for 1d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Grab (Ex)
A barbed devil can use its grab attack against a foe up to Medium size
Impale (Ex)
A barbed devil deals 3d8+9 points of piercing damage to a grabbed opponent with a successful grapple check
