Courts of the Shadow Fey (Rune Stones Part V - 4e)

Game Master Rev Rosey

"Yes, yes get on with it." Arianwyn replies impatiently, "Why must our foes enjoy the sound of their own voice so much?" he asks rhetorically.

Chary will jump up as quickly as possible, and try to heal herself before the giant roach can do more than chat. Otherwise, Chary will look at her surroundings for anything not visible from the sunrod.

if possible, I would like to use a healing surge prior to the start of the encounter. If not, I understand and will keep my current HP.
Perception check = 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes and the same to everyone else!
@RevDM: I am glad that Chary made you smile! She is anxious to get going, but not usually that brash!

Rising to her feet, Chary takes a moment to restore herself. Apart from the multiplicity of roaches and other roach-related beings, she notes that there seem to be three exits from the Well of Night, not counting the one she just fell down.

Quite OK, Chary. Half the party haven't arrived yet.

Arianwyn glares upwards.

Kia's descent is swift and efficient as she lands firmly on her feet, holding the rope for Reason. The cleric proves unable to keep his grip and thuds inelegantly to the ground beside his companions.

Like Chary, he dusts himself down and stands up, noting in passing that it is not the outsize cockroach which is speaking, but something as yet unseen. Pink letter A at I17.

1d20+16=26 for Kia.
1d20+6=8 for Reason. Oops. 1d20+6=14 to prevent fall. No. 5d10=26 damage to Reason. Sorry.

MAP

Arianwyn sighs inwardly.

Gripping his longspear in one hand, Tutavak holds the sunrod out to Reason. "Chosen, would you hold our light?"

Two-handed weapons, and human. I know, I know.

Sorry for slowness, busy on T-day and couldn't get the site to load for me at all on Friday.

Ixu flies down the shaft, as her mother takes the rope way down.

Athletics with rope: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Once down, Whiteclaw turns to Chary "Are you alright?" she asks the drow.

"A dragon. How kind of you. A magnificent gift to prove your loyalty."

From behind the pillar the speaker at last emerges. At first glance, he seems to be shaped much like any fey being, although he flows more than any true humanoid. The reason is not hard to see. He is composed entirely of roaches and the voice, beautiful as it is is, is made up of all their voices, echoing oddly in the Well of Night. He extends a hand, his mere presence sending sickening waves through those closest to him.

"And will you take servitude with the Skittish One? I shall offer only once."

Anyone within his aura 3 takes 5 damage. Which would be Chary, Tutavak, Whiteclaw and Arianwyn.

MAP

There wasn't a call, but I'll roll init anyway, on a hunch . . . 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Sorry about absence, been doing the Mikado all week. It's over now, so getting back to the Real World.

if anyone needs urgent healing, Kia can supply it.

"I am not a gift." Ixu says angrily as she gets ready to attack.

Init's for Whiteclaw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 and Ixu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Status:

"Please," Arianwyn replies scornfully, "I have refused servitude with beings more powerful and more stylish than you."

"Really? I shall take you anyway," Akyishigal shrugs indifferently.

"Come. I merely ask your fealty. You have given it freely to others. Now, it's my turn. Or I could just take that as well."

Init so far: Please include Kia bonus
Akyishigal - 30
Tutavak - 30

Reason - 25
Whiteclaw - 19

Tutavak - 32, then

Chary sneers at Akyishigal, "Fealty to you? Yeah, right."

init: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

seriously?!

"The tasteless glow that surrounds some of you is quite enough to tell me what you have no real intention of serving me. Very well. A bargain. If you can bloody me, I will leave these Courts and their pathetic fool of a Queen. And when I win, I will take your souls and turn you into a million scuttling vermin."

Roll init Arianwyn and Kia, please.

The voices, still beautiful are definitely heading towards the outer edge of sanity.

Tutavak switches weapons in one fluid motion and looses two arrows at the demon.

Minor/Free: Switch to bow. Minor: Quarry A. Standard: Thundertusk Boar Strike -- two attacks vs A's AC. Quarry damage. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 271d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 281d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 72d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Unimpressive damage -- I just hope it matters . . . if one hit, push A to K17. If both hit, push A to K20.

HP: 87/92, AP: 1/1

Tutavak's arrows narrowly miss the demon as the component roaches part to let the missiles pass harmlessly through them.

The demon flows towards Arianwyn, thousands of roaches reaching out to grab the warlock.

"Mightier and more stylish? How many so numerous and degenerate have you rejected?"

Roaches swarm the eladrin, crawling over this face and body and hiding him from sight.

Swarm of Filth (AC). On hit target is grabbed.
1d20+20=35. Hits. 14 damage.
Engulf (Fort). Only on grabbed target. On hit takes 10 ongoing and is restrained (se both)
1d20+19=26. Hits.
14 damage to Arianwyn, restrained and taking 10 ongoing (se both)

The giant cockroach moves with surprising speed around the pillars and snaps at Ixu.

Bite (AC). On hit target contracts filth fever.
1d20+19=32. Hits. 2d10+9=25
25 damage to Ixu and she has filth fever.

Abyssal Cockroach

Reason stands firm and calls on Ioun for protection. Light blossoms around Akyishigal and his unwilling passenger and the demon hisses as he feels the radiance biting into him. Satisfied, Reason backs away only to find himself pinioned by the roaches infesting the pillar.

Consecrated ground.

Non-roaches starting their turn adjacent to the pillars are grabbed.

He is immobilised until end of my next turn. Teleport to K20. Minor - Fiendish Resilience (gain 7 temp hp)

Arianwyn gags, even as his eyes glow with power and a fierce gale sweeps him away and holds the demon lord's aspect in place.

He then mutters a harsh invocation that causes his skin to glow red.

Otherwind Stride vs S2 Fort as well. Sorry, close burst 1.
1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 2 = 14
Save vs 10 damage
1d20 ⇒ 13

With a whispered curse, Arianwyn breaks apart the binding roaches and teleports clear, calling on his pact masters to aid him as he does so.

The demon re-forms and giggles quietly. "A pity you spurned me. Rough wooing has a charm though."

Arianwyn

Arianwyn checks that his clothes are still clean from the Fastidiousness ritual, and satisfied that they are, snarls, "You have made an error in staying here."

"I think not. So many delicious souls for the taking."

Kia shifts back one step (to M11) to get out of the aura and fires a shot off at the abyssal cockroach.

Paint the Bulls-Eye vs. AC 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 331d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

If that hits:
- everyone gets a +4 bonus to all damage rolls to the start of Kia's next turn.
- If the cockroach is immune to fear, it only takes a -2 penalty to ranged and area attack up to the end of Kia's next turn.
- However, if it can be intimidated, it takes -2 penalty to all melee attacks and -4 to all ranged and area attacks

If anyone needs healing from the fall or other cause, now is a good time to say so as now is when her healing as at its awesomest

Kia sends an arrow neatly under the chitinous plates of the Abyssal cockroach and steps back. As she does so, the crawling roaching swarm from the pillars and grab her.

As ice forms on Whiteclaws fur, she moves to attack Akyishgal.

Minor: Form of Winter's Herald (+1 AC, all squares within 2 of me are difficult terrain for enemies. Shift L13, mark Aky. Form of the Winter Herald's attack, vs AC. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26.

Whiteclaw's attack doesn't hit, but the chill surrounding her makes a slight dent in Akyishigal even so.

The servitors swarm towards the companions, their mere presence enough to make you gag. S1 scuttles towards Arianwyn.

S2 heads for Whiteclaw, biting at the gnoll before exploding as the radiant light hits it.

Servitors have aura 1. Enemies starting their turn in the aura take 5 damage.

Servitors all use Biting Mass (AC). On hit target counts as grabbed by Akyishigal to start servitor's next turn.

Chary shivers as the aura robs her of her precious vitality. She fires her darkfire at the demon, shifts a few feet and then steadies herself before trying to encouraging her teammates to take on Akyishigal.

Minor action: DarkFire: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 versus AC. if hit, all attacks against Aky have CA, and target cannot benefit from invisibility or concealment (UEMNT).
Move action: shift to K14
standard action: Victorious urging: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19 vs Will.
if hit: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 psychic damage, and Whiteclaw gets +2 power bonus to hit Aky UEMNT.

oh come on, how many ones can this roller roll!?!

Chary's darkfire laps fleetingly at Akyishigal before fading. Finding the demon more horrific than she had imagined, the drow has great difficulty in opening the roach lord's mind to her attacks.

Tutavak, apparently rattled by the vermin, is not displaying his customary accuracy. He launches an arrow at the enormous cockroach from point blank range, striking a glancing blow before backing away.

HP: 75/92

Oops. 24 with Kia bonus. Probably a miss, still.

Now on 16hp - 11hp at the start of my turn. So Bloodied it isn't funny.

Arianwyn reels from the attacks of the enemy.

The Abyssal roach only takes part of Tutavak's blow, but it is enough to make some dent in the chitin.

Immobilisation seems not to bother Akyishigal nearly as much as the radiant light that floods over him and the roach lord winces as several of his component parts flail and die. He turns his attention to Whiteclaw.

"You marked me. So you wish to belong. What could be better."

Thousands of roaches drape themselves around the gnoll, giving her a glistening black carapace of her own as she is drawn inexorably into Akyishigal's embrace.

A million bites (AC). On hit target takes 5 ongoing necro (se).

Bite (AC)
1d20+19=29. Hits. 2d10+9=24. Ixu is down.

Resolutely holding his own, Reason maintains the damaging light around Akyishigal, restores himself and sends the power or Ioun to help Ixu up once more. Almost as an afterthought, he brushes the clutching roaches from his sleeves.

Maintain conc. ground. Healing word on Ixu (surge +3d6=17) and second winds self.

Arianwyn invokes the power of his new ring and shadows wrap around him and he steps out 40 feet away from where he was. The runes on his armour glow as he channels his life force, and he bellows, "ACCURSED BE THEE, CRAWLING WRETCHES! THY LIVES ARE FORFEIT!"

To those who cannot resist his power, his words are death.

Arianwyn darts through the shadows and obliterates the feeble minds of the roachling warriors and servitors. Three warriors fall instantly, leaving no trace behind them, but the servitor explodes, showering Kia and Reason with more poisonous goo.

Pustulant Innards (Fort). Close burst 2.
1d20+11=15 v Reason. Miss.
1d20+11=30 v Kia. Hits.
7 poison damage to Kia.

MAP

Non-roaches starting their turn adjacent to the pillars are grabbed.

Servitors have an aura 1. Enemies starting their turn in the aura take 5.

Engulf - engulfed creatures share the same space as Akyishigal and remain in his space when he moves. Engulfed creatures may not make OAs and have no line of sight or line of effect to anything other than Akyishigal. On a save, the engulfed creature slides to a square of its choice adjacent to Akyishigal.

Consecrated Ground. Bloodied allies within the zone heal 5hp at the start of their turn. Enemies take 1d6+4=10 radiant if they start their turn in the zone.

ALL - to start Kia's next turn, everyone is at +4 to attacks on the Abyssal Cockroach.

I would suggest Ixu flees - this fight is too much for her I think.

"Ixu!" Arianwyn calls, "You have to escape before you're killed!"

Perception check please, Arianwyn.

Perception 1d20+11 = 19

Cowering in the dark corner behind a rocky outcrop, Arianwyn glimpses a faint golden glow.

HP:103/123 (Ixu: 36/79)
Surges: 13/13 (Ixu: 11/12)
Enc Used: (Ixu: Dragon's Onslaught.
Daily Remaining: Winters Grip, Form of the Stone Sentinel, Returning the Gift, Guardian's Attack
Status:+1 AC, marked Aky. (Ixu: Bloodied)

Kia is unimpressed at being grabbed and slowed as she teleports to I13, then fires a shot off at Akyishigal. "OK, I think we should finish this off quickly!"

Sunder Armour vs Aky 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 342d10 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4) + 7 = 17

I'm guessing that hits... so... Aky is -2 to all area and ranged attacks to the end of Kia's next turn. Also any roll of 18-20 to hit Akyishigal to the end of Kia's next turn is a crit.

She turns to Arianwyn and, pulls him together with an inspiring "get over it! we need you to fight!" heals him for a further surge plus 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 12 = 20 HP. Feeling that we need an early finish, she tried once more against Akyishigal

AP: Paint the bullseye vs Aky 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 341d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

OK, that counts as a crit so, 3d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 1, 5) + 13 = 24 damage, she pushes Aky to L14 (does that force him to drop Whiteclaw?) and He now takes an additional -2 penalty to all attack rolls, and all damage rolls gain a +4 bonus to the start of Kia's next turn.

In summary:
Akyishigal takes 28 damage
Akyishigal has been pushed to L14 (If I can't push him there, make it L16) hopefully putting Whiteclaw down in the process.
Akyishigal takes a -2 penalty to all melee attacks TSOMNT
Akyishigal takes a -4 penalty to all area and ranged attacks TEOMNT
All attack rolls against Akyishigal are crits on 18-20 TEOMNT
All damage rolls against Akyishigal gain a +4 bonus TSOMNT
Arianwyn is healed for a surge+20
I think that's all.

Save vs slowed 1d20 ⇒ 17
