Call Forth Darkness! (Inactive)

Game Master Aku Warashi

Agrippa asks Grumblejack a simple question Master Ogre, how many letters have you written in your entire brutal lifetime?

Gonna ad lib, but I'm guessing the answer is none.

Ah, so. Upon our untimely death at the hands of these Holy Crusaders, the first thing our Beloved Grumblejack would do it take pen in hand and craft elegant prose with which to summon aid to the Horn. Agrippa's voice ends dripping sarcasm and scorn

Agrippa turns to Eldred
Master Crofter, how easy would it be for your men to circulate the rumor that you met your untimely end at the hands of a few Paladins of All That Is Good?

Also, adlibbing but I'm guessing not all that difficult.

Ah, not so difficult then. Well, I'm glad we have Lord Grumblejack the Witty to craft letters for us then. Agrippa finishes, if Agrippa were the type to roll his eyes...they would be on the floor behind him cutting backflips.

Id need to sling them some coin with a message, best delivered by your imp rather or one of the Red Pentacle rather than one of us slipping into town but sure, easy enough.

I think we should lure them up to the second level and take them there - less opportunity for them to escape.

It would be unwise to allow them into the Horn. Have we not already learned that there are secrets here even we do not fully understand. If Elise has uncovered some nugget that I have missed, however unlikely, then she could use it against us the wretched woman. We should slay them in the open, either in Farhold or in the Caer.

Cedric will take a moment to talk to the Nessian Knot as he knows little of devils or angels. He ask of their capabilities and powers before stating the following.

" I am a fool, how did I over look this. You are right of course Agrippa. A note from Grumble would be out of character. The Cardinal has given us the tools we need. Tisaera, Melinoe go to Farhold. Use your circlets to walk among the people. See the baron and have him arrange the meeting with the seventh. You will carry the word of the Cardinal as his Nessian knot. With the destruction of the ninth the seventh is to step in and complete the ritual where we failed. Tisaera you stay with them. Be on the look out for this dark elf. You will see her true form. Stay close to the white witch and keep this celestial from interfering with our plans. Melinoe you teleport back and report to us their plan. Use the guise that you will keep the ritual going until they can make it here as you have destroyed what remained of the hero's before coming to them. We will set the ambush outside the horn. When we attack Tisaera can entangle the witch and fly her into the air. Keep here there and let her see what her trechery has done to her companions as she watches us destroy them. We will save the witch for last. I'm sure Johan has things he would like to do to her. If this is agreed upon we should get our rest for tomorrow we destroy the seventh."

With this Cedric leaves and gathers a few minions. He sends them out to gather dry wood. They spend a hour gathering enough for a large fire right outside the horn. He carves and digs the symbol of asmodeus into the ground. The wood is sacked onto the large symbol. He lays the armor of the griffon out at the base. His minions encircle the symbol and start to pray. Cedric released a blast of Hell Fire to light the wood ablaze. He steps into the fire and stands over the armor. He too sends his prayers to the Dark Prince. He then opens the veins in both wrist and allows his blood to flow out mixing and boiling in the fire it pours and flows onto the griffon armor. It's shine dims and blackens. Cedric is brought almost to the point of death. He collapses onto the armor. This is when Sideous steps forward and with divine magic closes the wounds. The minions drag him and the armor from the fire. His skin has released his former armor and his minions are able to pull it from his body. They then piece by piece put the griffon armor onto his body each piece sizzling and attaching itself to his scorched corrupt body. He screams in agony as each piece attaches. When it is done his eyes open filled with the hellish flame. He looks upon Sideous who has been keeping him alive through the process and nods. He stands and gives thanks to his loyal servants.

"Rest now. We have business tomorrow. You have done well all of you. As you sever the fire of Asomodeus it too protects you."

He too retires after this long ritual to rest for the day.

There’s one problem with Cedric’s plan:

He is assuming the devils have Iron circlets.
Well, they don’t.

Erinyes cannot disguise themselves and thus walk freely into the city.
Since it’s a minor detail and the disguise wouldn’t help that much either way (they’d still be outsiders) I’ll assume some things like: Going during the night, keeping out of view and things like that.

After deciding on an action plan, healing the wounds and cataloguing the heroes’ items, the knot prepares to deal with the Seventh.
Tisaera leaves for a few hours and then when she finally returns you hear the devil’s report.
”I’ve met the baron and the leader of the seventh.” the devil says in an indifferent voice ”The message was passed to her and it appears she’ll ride tomorrow.”

What's your plan for ambushing the Ninth?

oh yep I assumed it was standard knot gear :)

Having spent the afternoon planning and fulfilling his binding ceremony Cedric is at rest when the devil returns. When his minions pass along the information he goes to meet with them and the others.

"That is good news. I believe it best for one of you two." He looks to the Nessian knot. "To go to the edge of the brier and escort them in. This shows a bit more trust and allows one of you to be close to take the witch. As Agrippa said we best not allow them in. A ambush set right out front would be best. This would allow the one of you that stays the ability to keep to the air and fire down upon them. I will ride my phantom steed and have mobility in the clearing. Eldred could be on the first level outside and have a good view down to fire upon them as well as Master Agrippa having clear view to wield his arcane might. Johan who is the most dangerous of the seventh in combat? You and I should attack that one without mercy and work together to bring them down one at a time. It should be fairly strait forward of an ambush. Eldred perhaps you should keep your arrow ready to disrupt the witches casting until one of the Nessian knot can take her into the air entangled in their rope."

The big blond man - Dostan, I think his name was - looks like their heaviest hitter. They have their own archer too. And by the report in this diary their cleric is more skilled than I would have credited. We can use the treant's clearing again. It has lots of tree cover to stage in, and the treant's body itself would make a good cover position for Eldred and Agrippa.

Bickering and indecision lead the knot hastily preparations for the ambush. No trap was as the head for the ambush site. Maybe overconfidence, maybe just careless distractions.
Having no way to know when the Seventh plans in arriving, but judging by experience ( a day’s ride ), the knot send the Fury to wait at the forest border to accompany the Seventh, as well Agrippa send the accuser devil ordering him to follow the group following and teleport back once they are only a couple of minutes away.

The knot moves to the hangman clearing, hiding and waiting.

--

Minutes turns to hours and even then, no sign of the Seventh.
Intentions?

The hanmna was set to guard the entrances to the horn and is thus pretty close. All the entrances are still guarded with followers armed with signal horns. There is no parctical way for the seventh to slip around

Johan waits patiently. Until night fall. Then his temper gets the better of him and he returns to the Horn angrily, refusing to be sucked into a game of cat and mouse with the Seventh.

Johan's pre-battle spells rely on about ten minutes advanced warning. If given that he casts:
Shield of Faith, Chastising Lash, see invisibility, then divine favour as they see the enemy.

Cedric sees Johan getting upset.

"Relax a moment. They have to come to us. The horn is the prize here.." He then looks to the other Erinyes.

"Could you teleport and check on your companion. Or do you two have a way to communicate over distance? If you do go come right back so we may have a better idea of any treachery they former seventh knot may try."

Johan allows himself to calmed, but he crosses his arms and asks, So how long do we wait then?

4d20 ⇒ (3, 13, 17, 1) = 34
Johan allows himself to be appeased by his fellow villain and starts questioning the man what should they do and how long they should wait.

Cedric orders the Fury away, to gather a report from her sister nearby.
The furry answers they have no way of communicating over distance and that she’ll need to search for the other one.

As soon she leaves, Eldred’s head snap towards one of the ends in the clearing and he declares ”There’s something wrong!”

--

So, here is the deal: You guys are about to be ambushed, but Eldred ‘heard’ something that gave the ambushers away. You have only ‘hour/level’ spells already cast.

Eldred, you are up, intentions?

Johan had grown quite bored and so had summoned up his lemmure - the bound and totured soul of Posca the dwarf. He was amusing himself by throwing rocks at the creature to see if they would stick to its gelatinous hide...

Something twigs his something isn't right sense, a feeling he got when a 'Con' was going the wrong way.

Unable to yell for fear of alerting the quarry he takes the next best action. He looses an arrow a foot to the right of Johan.

What the Hells Crofter!?. Johan starts as Eldreds arrow spears the dirt beside him...
sense motive: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
But he quickly understands what his long time comrade at arms is trying to convey to him and decides to play along.

Thats it crofter I got enough of you!. Johann speaks infernal syllable and is lash of hellfire grackles to life in his hand He hoped their charade would baffle any observers long enough for him to prepare or at least better understand what Had alerted Eldred.

Strangely, no other sound or movement was heard.
No enemy charging and yelling. No killing arrows, no spells, no nothing.
@Johan used the spell, so he had his action already. Agrippa, Cedric, please post your actions, after that, Eldred may post it again.

Seeing the lash come to life in Johan's hand he stares.

"So that arrow means something?"

Cedric crouches and looks closely around the area.

I don't see or hear anything. It seems we underestimated them. Perhaps we should have road into town and slain them. Though it could be more good doers as well.

Agrippa turns invisible.

Eldred, you are up, intentions?

Eldred continues to scan for foes and casts gravity bow.

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Without a clear target, Grumblejack just wait, not really sure of what’s going on.

Whatever distraction Johan might have brought them with this little act lasted only for a couple of seconds, as the others did not followed his ruse.

Black tentacles appears where the knot is gathered. The tentacles flaying about grabbing everything in its area;
CMD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
DMG: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Everyone except Agrippa is grappled and take 9 points of damage.

--

Walking out of a bush that isn’t big enough to hide him, two versions of the trickster cleric, short swords bared.
He smiles cruelly and says.
”You ain’t keeping that whip. You’ll suffer now for betraying the cardinal!”
With that, he raises his holy symbol high, praying for the dark father.
Dispell x DC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 and the infernal whip is undone by the dark magic of the priest.

--

The silent one, the barbarian gripping his greatsword walks out of the bush as well, not a word said, and he stops just outside the tentacles, and drink a potion making his swell and bulge with power. His intentions clear. To cut down anyone leaving the spell area.

--

From somewhere behind the bushes, arrows fly about, targeting Johan inside the tentacles.
Atk: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Dmg: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (1, 5) + 13 = 19

Atk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Dmg: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 4) + 13 = 20

Only one of the arrows find’s mark against the inquisitor.

Johan, Agrippa and Cedric, you are up. If you pass a will DC 20, you can disregard the illusion and see the rest of the seventh hiding behind it.

Will DC20: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Agrippa moves to get a better view of Elise. Agrippa casts Haste on his allies

Hasted for 8 rounds. Everyone including Grumble is effected and its also a +1 to their CMD

So how long is the other devil going to be gone since I told it to report right back? Just curious why or how they hid behind this with the erinyes having true seeing.

Johan Rnd 1

Full round: charge dude with sword: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13; Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4
***

Johan grabs the nearest tentacle. It looks like he is trying to choke the writhing thing with his beefy hands. You call me betrayer? ME?! he bellows at the priest even as an arrow lodges in his bicep. Only the true power of Asmodeus holds sway here!

As if to prove him right, the witch's black tentacles smoulder and burst into flames, dispelled by the hellfire coursing through the inquisitor's veins. Who here commands the Cardinals chosen? You saw his Furies answer our call with your own eyes, false priest. Or have you been so blinded by your white harlot?

Johan takes a step forward and begins to recite the Pact of Thorns. The first loyalty is to Asmodeus, He Who Rules Below. Johan pints to the burly warrior ahead of him and Posca the dwarf-lemure lets out a gurgly snarl and suicidally charges at the big blond man. The second loyalty is to the Cardinal, He Who Rules Here on Earth Johan snaps the arrow shaft from his bicep and draws his morningstar. The Third Loyalty is to each other.

He points the morningstar at the black haired man. This is your only chance, preist. Stay true to your god. Who is the real betrayer here?

[ooc]Sorry I got over-excited and

Eldred will save to see the others will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8.

He can't see past the illusion where the others are hidden but he can see the one with the holy symbol... and targets him.

Eldred can't see past the illusion where the others are hidden but he can see the one with the holy symbol... and targets him.
The blind man has no chance to avoid the deadly arrows. It pieces his body delivering punishment and pain. Trik, falls to one knee, barely alive, his faith alone keeping him standing.

The cleric doesn’t seem in condition to do anything else; instead he prays and questions the truth of things…
”Are they right? Am I the betrayer? What have I done but to …serve?” and he gasp and cough blood and finally says ”..to serve whom…?”

In an attempt to break down the enemy, Elise Cast a Wall of Ice, entrapping Johan and Eldred.
Eldred and Johan can try a Reflex dc 21 to interrupt spell.

Dostan does what he does best and attack the Posca the lemure.

Trak sees his brother fall and is enraged by the fact the witch trapped his assailer inside a wall of ice, without any other target, he attacks Cedric.

Dmg: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 2) + 13 = 19
Atk: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Dmg: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (1, 4) + 13 = 18

Two of the arrows find the mark piercing the cursed knight body.

You guys can act again. I'll post grumble action a bit later, I'm out of time.

Round 3

Cedric steps forward bringing the raging warrior into his aura.

"You will be a plaything for Asmodeus... Traitor..."

Cedric cast Agonizing Rebuke. DC 19 (21 now that he is in Aura) Will Save. Failure and he takes: 2d6 nonlethal per attack directed at me.

"Grumble fly up and lift them from that ice prison."

Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Does Wall of Ice work that way? Entrapping people?

This spell creates an anchored plane of ice or a hemisphere of ice, depending on the version selected. A wall of ice cannot form in an area occupied by physical objects or creatures

Based on where the wall is at you and Johan get an reflex save. If you pass the spell is disrupted. Too bad you tolled a 1

Agrippa dispels the magical Ice Wall keeping Eldred and Johan out of the fight.

Dispel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Agrippa moves so his position stays unknown.

Agrippa wait for Johan to make the save. If he does you don't need to use that spell on this. If he doesn't though. Good job :)

If that happens and Johan disrupts the spell

Agrippa begins summoning a creature SM4

Movement stays the same.

reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Johan Rnd 1

Move action: move 40' ( thank you haste spell!)adjacent to archer
Swift action: activate Bane ( humans)
Std Action: Power attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36; Dmg: 1d8 + 16 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 16 + (6, 3) = 26
If Johan scores a hit; Cornugon Smash: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

As the two unseen spellcasters vie for control of the battlefield, Johan runs past the dueling Dostan and Cedric, sidesteps the blinded and bleeding preist ( moving through his threatened area) and swings his barbed Morningstar at the Seventh's archer with a terrifying roar.

Is the witch now visible now from the illusion?

Eldred, there was no new interaction with the illusion, you still cannot make another will save to disbelief it.
Round 2

The ogre looks around, deciding what’s the best prey in all the and the decides:
”The big un’s is Grumblejack meal!”
He says and start by casting a spell, but no one told the ogre the difference between good and bad people, so the spell is wasted.

Round 3

He takes flight deciding to return to his usual strategy. Fly, drop, kill.
Atk: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Dmg: 3d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 16 = 21

But the attack is wasted.

Cedric steps closer and cast his spell to assert his dominance over the barbarian.
However, as he steps closer, the man swings his sword suddenly and without warning.
Unexpected Strike: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Dmg: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (3, 6) + 20 = 29

The sudden attack is not enough to surprise and bypass the knight defenses.

Arrogant in his power, Cedric casts a spell, disregarding the any attempt to defense himself while doing so.
The barbarian sword lash suddenly out again...
AoO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Dmg: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (5, 4) + 20 = 29

Once more, the sword hit the enemy, cutting deeply and most likely disrupting the dark knight spell.
Concentration: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Arrows and sword, the burning fire inside his body weakens and the spell fails.
You are currently with 1 hp.

Agrippa continues hidden behind his spell and negates the dome of ice trapping Eldred and Johan.

-

Johan Strides forward, passing thru the hurt and blind cleric. The man on his knees does not attempt to strike back.
Johan then proceeds to deliver punishment and terror to the archer just behind the illusion.
The attack hit, the man is demoralized.

oops just realized it is not a new round. Well let's see if i survive the attacks from the barbarian and archer. I'm guessing the bow and sword are magic right I mean they are probably our level or higher. Just making sure for DR. Looks like another few days of being rebuilt in my armor again coming up.

These last days Paizo forum is giving nostore error often. :(
Noticing his blunder in the last second, Cedric raises his defense while casting the spell.
Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 but it’s not enough to affect the barbarian.

Atk: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Dmg: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 3) + 9 = 15

A torrent of arrows, each finding its mark in the barbarian body.

Better play safe than sorry the barbarian reckons as he attacks again with less pressure than before. But even so, it isn’t enough to hit Cedric.

And the dark father is smiling upon his children, as the attacks hit the armor, offering no danger to Johan as well.
