Herodotus becomes unnerved at the baying and begins to flee.

K:Planes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Brother Theo looked at the creatures trying to figure out what they were dealing with but since they were not undead, he could not recall any significant piece of information.

Stepping back a bit, Brother started to say a prayer that helped his fellow adventurers deal with the battle that started in the darkness.

Cast Blessing of Fervor. (choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice). Increase its speed by 30 feet, Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity, Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus, Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves, or Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.) Herodotus is not in the area of effect.

Brother Theo casts a Blessing on the group.

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Following his hounds, the other dark folk moves forward and looses an arrow at Brother Theo.

Green Bow attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Swiftly standing up, Brother Theo moved back a bit before a halo of light illuminated the area. "I do not know what you are but since you like to hide in the darkness, let me prevent you from hiding."

BoF, Stand as swift action, 5' step back, activate Nimbus of Light(Su)
Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Heccan will expend a charge of his wand of infernal healing.

Brother Theo stands activating his Nimbus of Light, the bright light dispels the darkness spell cast by the dark folk; the room is now bathed in light.

Anybody with extra bullrush distance when they hit a wall gets knocked prone.

Heccan moves around the combatants in front of him, again summoning more of his dark power to ready himself for the battle at hand.

Heccan moves to the spot indicated on the map then casts mirror image on himself.

Swiftly standing back up, Brother Theo once again stepped back again, unleashing a blast of light at the beast that tried biting off his leg.

Searing light: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Swift action stand up, keep Nimbus of light going. 5' step back and cast searing light at the shadow mastiff in front of me. Not sure on what kind of damage it would do to the creature.

Brother Theo stands and blasts the shadow dog with a searing holy light.
Would be standard damage against this creature.

Searing Light damage: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 6, 8, 1) = 21

The dog is badly hurt but still standing.

Kudor slams the dark stalker down the hall; steps, slams the mastiff dropping it lifelessly to the ground; and finally misses the other dog.

Heccan joins the party, in fact several of him do, as the last of his wounds are healed by the devil's blood.
Go ahead and roll for you number of mirror image copies.

@Brother Theo -- you can do that...but you'll actually get another turn before Balazar will be headed back in, so...

1)You can do that; 2)Move action to step outside the door and channel now 3) Do something completely different.
Let me know.

Kudor absolutely annihilates the last of the mastiffs, leaving only a bloody carcass.

The dark folk ran upstairs...need Brother Theo if he wants to change, Queth, and Heccan...next round everyone is back.

Step outside then.

Brother Theo heads outside where he sees his frightened companions and channels positive energy.

Queth and Heccan are up

Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3) = 11

Queth runs back, if he can. Going 4x speed. If he can't, he just double moves back. So, 120 ft or 60 ft closer.

Since you were in the zone when I cast Blessing of Fervor, you can use it to increase your movement by +30'

Ah, so 240 ft. or 120 ft. :)

@Queth - Yep, you are able to reenter the building this turn.

Queth heads back into the manor.

There is no sign of the dark folk who fled upstairs.

Up to you all if you want to pursue or not, let me know if you don't will stay in initiative for now.

All pathfinders are up...Heccan you may post 2 rounds of actions if you want.

I am happy to regroup rather than chase darkness causing critters by myself.

"Clearly this place has been taken over by evil. Let's get ourselves ready and hunt them down. Anyone want some stony skin?"

Summon Hound Archon. Ask him to Aid Kudor.
+1 morale bonus on Att roles, saves vs fear and aid: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 temporary hit points. The archon and the Aid will last 7 minutes.

While others, inevitably go for cure wands, Queth turns to Balazar and casts Lesser Restoration on him.

Lesser Restoration (Balazar): 1d4 ⇒ 2

He then casts Freedom of Movement on himself, and finishes off with a Bless to the whole party.

"Ready to proceed when you are."

Kudor gives the hound archon a scritchy behind its ears.

Brother Theo headed back inside with the others. " Let's find the other one before he brings some more buddies.

If we are taking a few rounds for things like lesser restoration then the Hound Archon will give everyone Aids. Add 1d8 +6 temporary hit points.
myself Aid: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"Could still use a bit of healing here. And got the scroll of stoneskin itching to be used."

"I'm happy to take it, Balazar, I'm never one to turn down a good buff."

Also, happy to have my wand used on Balazar, just let me know charges.

So say at least 3 rounds for Queth to cast Lesser Restoration. Balazar summons Hound Archon, Stoneskin on Kudor, and cast Barkskin on Kudor. DR 10 Adamantium until it absorbs 70 damage and +3 natural armor. Both lasts 70 minutes. Hound Archon casts Aid on Herodotus, Kudor, and Balazar. And someone uses Kudor's wand to heal Balazar.

wand charge: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
wand charge: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

So we'll say 5 rounds total (at least based on Queth's post)...anyone else feel free to post what you are doing in that time. Then let me know what you do after the 5 rounds of buffing/healing are up?

2 more rounds you say? Hound will Aid himself and Brother Theo. Balazar will cast Mage Armor on himself and Barkskin on Brother Theo. +3 natural armor for 70 minutes.
Aid on Brother Theo: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Aid on Hound Archon: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Suddenly, Heccan reappears, or rather what appears to be an army of the Chelaxian. Growling, he unleashes globes of arcane energy at the standing Dark Folk.

[occ]Heccan will cast magic missile at the dark folk in successive rounds if necessary.[/ooc]

MM: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3) + 4 = 17
MM: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 4) + 4 = 12

Herodotus rushes back in with a roar of anger and frustration. Without further ado, he looks about, sees the current body count and without further ado, goes off in search of the last creature. "OK GUYS HE'S SUPER SUPER DUPER PISSED!"

Kudor waits for the spellcasting to finish and will then escore Herodotus up the stairs.

@Heccan - the dark folk had fled upstairs before you could have used magic missile. Still need to know how many mirror images

Didn't see a roll.
Aid on Herodotus: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Any other buffs or heals in those 5 rounds?

Staying in initiative, fast forward 5 rounds, went ahead and moved Brother Theo with everyone else to make it a little easier.

The group heads up the stairs, as you reach the top you find it filled with supernatural darkness.

Queth turns the lights back on.

This room’s only furnishings are a large table and several chairs. The three doorways to the north and the one leads to the south.

The hound moves forward sniffing around the room and stops next to the eastern most door, indicating it believes the dark folk maybe through that door.
