Beacons of Hope: Wrath of the Righteous!

Game Master GM the Fifth

The elven wizard will enter the room and not trusting that the demon is not around will her use Riftwarden ability to channel energy to harm outsiders 30' radius from her

4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6) = 11
DC 18 Fort

"Apparently she has been keeping this man magically enthralled."

"Are you alright apart from that?" Arloric asks the man. "Need water? Food?"

@Telerin, it was Greater Teleport, and it was a spell-like ability rather than a traditional spell.

Kemat and Arloric check on the prisoner, and he eagerly accepts the offer of food and water. Then Telerin channels energy into the room, and he shudders as it washes over him.

Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

His tone immediately changes from that of a weakened, desperate man to something altogether different. In a firm, appraising voice, he says, "Clever. And here I believed I'd thought of everything."

The manacles fall off as his form shifts.

Back to initiative! We'll re-roll.

Initiative, mysterious figure: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"MORE deception?!" Arloric barks, exasperated.

Iniative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Did we see this creature transform? Is it in it's transmuted shape now?

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Uriel is a bit slow on the uptake as the 'man's' form shifts.

The figure shifts into the form of a succubus with long, white hair.

"So you're the reason the halfling won't speak to me anymore." She says, taking a guarded stance.

Round 1
Telerin, Darya, Alexa <---
Kiranda
Arloric, Uriel, Kemat
>>>>> Map <<<<<

I arranged people using my judgement, based on what you were doing in the room. Let me know if your positioning should differ from what I chose.

The wizardress concentrates and chants eldritch bolts and a volley of magical bolts in the shape of silver dragons emerge from her fingers to strike at the demon.
4d4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2) + 4 + 4 = 20 force damage
SR 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 31

and then using Amazing Initiative, she will channel again
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 4) = 14
DC 18 fort

GM, do we have any active conditions on us in addition to the Protection from Evil 10'?

Only ongoing effect is your Magic Circle Against Evil.

Thank you!

'Well there goes any chance at talking this out.' Darya thinks with a sidelong glance at Telerin.

Rolling her shoulders she turns back to face the succubus. "Yes we are, and we're also going to be the reason she never has to worry about you again."

Her halo flares to life, the golden glow pulsing as the fire in her eyes makes clear her deadly nature.

Path ability: Menacing Presence (Su)
In combat, you can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize an opponent as a move action. Swift ACtion activate Halo

Intimidate (Demoralize): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Arloric glares at the man too, trying to present like a porcupine, big and spiky (in spirit).

Kemat remains composed as she watches the eternal war between fiends and celestials play out.

Alexa moves to flank with Arloric and strikes with her gladius!

Flanking Stab: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27
Sneak Attack Damage?: 1d6 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (6, 4, 4, 4) = 24

succubus, Fort save DC18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Telerin strikes the succubus with her magic missiles. Then the succubus bears the full brunt of the channeled energy.

The succubus seems visibly shaken as Darya stares her down.

Alexa moves into flanking position and strikes, landing a solid blow.

The succubus steps back out of reach, and teleports to the north end of the room, by the open door to what looks like a storage room. Alexa sees her pull a rapier from an otherwise bare set of shelves, and readies herself to fight.

@Darya, haven't you already used your angelic bond today?

Uriel dashes forward and hacks at the demon!

Attack, Mwk bastard sword, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25
Damage, cold iron/slashing: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (2, 8) + 11 = 21

[dice=succubus, Fort save DC18]d20+9.

@Darya, haven't you already used your angelic bond today?

Well...last time I used Angelic Bond was Mar 28, 2023. Also, I'm not currently using it, at least not yet... I just used Menacing Presence (a mythic ability and I have 7 mythic points (one spent today)). I've used Power of Faith today, but I can use that up to 9 times in a day.

Aha. I got it mixed up with Power of Faith. Carry on!

I think I didn't make it clear that Arloric and Kemat are up.

Round 1

Ongoing effects: Angelic Bond (Darya)

Telerin, Darya, Alexa
Kiranda
Arloric, Uriel, Kemat <---

>>>>> Map <<<<<

Arloric dashes up and swings his scimitar at the enemy!

Move action: move to current position. Standard Action: Attack.

Cold-Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Not wanting to obviate the power of her magic circle against evil, Kemat casts a prayer spell with the hopes of aiding the team.

If that would impinge on the magic circle due to its debuff effect, then bless instead.

Uriel lands a blow but Arloric's blade fails to connect.

Round 2

Ongoing effects: Angelic Bond (Darya), Bless (Kemat)

Telerin, Darya, Alexa <---
Kiranda
Arloric, Uriel, Kemat

>>>>> Map <<<<<

How beat up does the demon look?

Beat up but not severely so. In game mechanics, not quite to the halfway point.

Circling around to K4.

Alexa maneuvers around to flank the succubus with Darya before swinging her gladius.

Flanking Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27
Flanking Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (5, 1, 5, 3) = 20

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Allergic Reaction (Ex)
A goblin dog’s dander is highly irritating to all creatures save those with the goblinoid subtype. A non-goblinoid creature damaged by a goblin dog’s bite, who deals damage to a goblin dog with a natural weapon or unarmed attack, or who otherwise comes into contact with a goblin dog (including attempts to grapple or ride the creature) must make a DC 12 [14] Fortitude save or break out in an itching rash. A creature affected by this rash takes a –2 penalty to Dexterity and Charisma for 1 day (multiple allergic reactions do not stack).

Remove disease or any magical healing removes the rash instantly. This is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Smite Evil/Good
1/day as a swift action (adds Cha bonus (+0) to attack rolls and damage bonus equal to HD (+1) against evil/good foes; smite persists until target is dead or the celestial/fiendish creature rests).

Augment Summoning: Items in brackets [] represent the spell being cast by a character with the Augment Summoning feat.

Telerin begins chanting the language of magic and begins summoning a celestial goblin dog, from the higher planes.

I believe that it will be summoned at the beginning of next turn and she will place it in a flanking position if possible.

As Alexa moves to strike her from behind, Darya presses the succubus, Radiance thrumming to life in her hands at the presence of the enemy.

Radiance vs Evil Outsider/Flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 = 21
Magic/Cold Iron/bane: 1d10 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (4, 6) = 19

Radiance vs Evil Outsider/Flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17
Magic/Cold Iron/bane: 1d10 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (1, 1) = 13

OK. Looks like some of my map updates did not publish because I see an old map is up there. <Insert random curses about automation here>. And also, someone tell the GM they need to be checking on this stuff.

I have posted the updated/correct map. The maps from the previous couple of "updates" are lost forever, sadly. But this will get us back on track.

I apologize for this mistake. As you might guess, I've been distracted lately. Nothing serious. Just lots of competing priorities.

@Alexa, @Darya, decide which of you wants to move in to engage here.

mysterious die roll: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Go ahead and engage, Darya.

Okay, I'll step in to take the flank

Be sure to review the corrected map. There's no flanking position.

OK. I will just move Darya into position so she can attack, and remove the flanking bonus. It takes 10' of movement to get there, so she'll only get one attack.

Telerin starts casting a spell.

Darya steps in to attack with Radiance, but she's unable to land a blow against the succubus.

@Alexa you are up.

Round 2

Ongoing effects: Angelic Bond (Darya), Bless (Kemat), Summon Monster (Telerin)

Telerin, Darya, Alexa <---
Kiranda
Arloric, Uriel, Kemat

>>>>> Map <<<<<

Alexa leaps over the succubus' head--

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Mythic Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 5

25 total for Acrobatics to tumble into position.

--and strikes!

Flanking Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11 Aww. :(

Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (5, 1, 4, 1) = 19
8 damage if no sneak attack, 19 if there is a sneak attack.

Please put me at H2, if possible.

That would have been a nasty hit!

Alexa attempts to tumble through the succubus's space, but the demon is too fast even for the nimble aasimar.

Even with your surge that was not enough, and this provokes an AoO. You are stopped in Arloric's square, but per the rules you can't end your movement there so you have to move back to the last legal space, which I'll choose as J4.

succubus, melee vs Alexa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Fortunately, Alexa is fast enough to avoid an opportunistic swipe from the succubus's sword.

There's pop in the air as another succubus appears in the room. You recognize this one from the chapel area not long ago. Immediately after, a babau demon casually strolls in through the open door.

The succubus Dary and Uriel are engaging steps back into the closet and pops away, reappearing on the far side of the room.

No AoO there since the corner provides cover to square H2.

Round 2

Ongoing effects: Angelic Bond (Darya), Bless (Kemat), Summon Monster (Telerin)

Telerin, Darya, Alexa
Succubus 1, Babau, Succubus 2
Arloric, Uriel, Kemat <---

>>>>> Map <<<<<

Growing really very tired of this, Uriel manifests a set of five burning wings from his back and flies across the room to attack!

Swift action for wings. I can't charge through the others, so just a regularmove+ attack. Vital Strike since I can't full attack.

Attack, Masterwork legendary cold iron bastard sword: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 9) + 10 = 23

Kemat remains in a defensive position, not yet willing to obviate the protection of her magic circle and waiting to deploy healing magic as needed.

Total defense.

Kemat focuses on defending herself from attacks. Uriel flies across the room, and strikes the succubus, landing a solid hit.

Round 2

Ongoing effects: Angelic Bond (Darya), Bless (Kemat), Magic Circle Against Evil (Kemar), Summon Monster (Telerin)

Telerin, Darya, Alexa
Succubus 1, Babau, Succubus 2
