Scram places a foot on the wall pulling on the crowbar straining to open the door. It seems like it may hold when Anton who had been studying the door for weaknesses focuses his power and the door is knocked off of its hinges. The library is empty, two other doors exit it.
Raiden keeps on running after the others. As they get closer, he starts hollering Rav's name to make sure he's okay.
Sasha follows eagerly with his book and blank papers at the ready.
Uriah stands well to the rear, gesturing at the door.
Lads! Yonder on! Horrible things could be happening to Ravvek as we speak! He could be... *audible gasp* In various states of undress! Perhaps even "In flagrante delicto"
Gods curses upon the demoness that sucks the souls of men from their.... chests!
Thank the gods!!!
"Uriah I can't wait to hear how you spin these exploits first almost done in by a rug and then our most chaste Paladin falls pray to infernal skank. Your work is cut out on epic poem . . . though the torid limerick I suppose writes itself."
MMmmmMMMMM-MMmmMM!
The party has never entered 49a and both doors are closed. The party is now in 49 the library. Neither the Paladin nor the woman are to be found. Those with higher passives notice Ravvek’s sword belt and shield leaning against the wall.
You rolled a 20 so I’ll say that gives you a shot to break the charm if you want to give
a Wis save. Otherwise there will eventually need another Con Save before the other enter the room as she continues kissing you.
"I'll take this way, you take that way..."
Scram rushes to the eastern door and tries to open it.
Zayless rushes the "other" door.
Raiden helps force-open the door Zayless is trying.
If you need it, ...

Raiden and Zayless head for the southern door while Scram and Anton open the eastern door.
The southern door opens to a musty storage room, not if use for many years. Scram and Anton open their door to find Ravvek and the attractive woman kissing. Ravvek is bare chested and his breaches are in a state of unloosening.
First Kiss Damage halved is 16 psychic.
Okay, hp after initial kiss is 17. After second kiss, I guarantee that I am at least unconscious.
EDIT: My max hp would be either 1 or 2 depending on the total damage...
Shouting to the demon "Well it took some doing but we found the staff...looks like you did as well. How about that. You want me to just leave it here with all this holy water and protection scrolls, or...?"
Sashah rushes as fast as he can, excitedly carrying papers and books, "Ooh! Vait for me! I have questions!"
Zayless looks toward the others who found the lucky door. "We found the what now?" He looks about confused.
Drawing his sword Anton darts in the room and yells "Here!" Gripping the blade in both hands he swings at the fiend, and then unleashes kicks her twice.

Raiden is last to the party. Guess it's a pin-the-sword-on-the-demon kind of party. .
Zayless moves to the other door steps in and blasts the dangerous lady.
He blasts her with a flash of magic energy.
Ravvek is limp in her arms, bleeding from his ears and nose...

Uriah cuts lose with a biting word!
Hey! Demon whore of the lower pits! Keep your venereal diseases away from our paladin! He's supposed to be saving himself for marriage!
As the door swings open, the woman looks over Ravvek’s shoulder to see Anton coming in, sword drawn. Pulling away from the Paladin, those in the room see dark necrotic energies streaming from thier connection. She whispers something in Ravvek’s ear as Anton’s furious attacks cause the woman to nimbly step back but otherwise have no effect. ”Back so soon?” Ravvek collapses onto the nearby couch as she lets him go. She glances at Scram’s attempts to lie and rolls her eyes.
Zayless’s blast of energy comes shortly after, and she easily dodges it causing a pile of books behind her to explode in a puff of papyrus. Raiden then charges into the room bringing his sword down on the woman who turns the blade with her forearm, pushing it to the side slightly, a glancing blow at best.
Let’s roll some initiatives.
I only say this because I really get frustrated when DMs pull punches. This encounter was put in the book, and I KNEW the danger and still put myself in the way (partially to keep this from happening to someone else, but also because Rav wouldn't have seen this coming, especially since he didn't catch it on his Divine Sense). Even if Rav dies, I think I have enough gold to raise him. Don't worry about it. ^_^
Whatever your call, I will abide by it, but it ramps up the dramatic tension for me if we go by the book on this one! This is actually fun watching the other PCs' reactions!

Yes, the first kiss did 16 damage, but does not reduce my max, because I made the save, right? Oh wait, my max would be reduced so I would have been in the negatives more than my new max. You are right.
Well, how about this? Since I will be dropping gold on the raise, it would be the perfect excuse for the session end and people can level or whatever. We can say that we all returned to town and can see if everyone wants to come back to finish.
What do you think? That way I can still get my rewards for the session. ^_^
Don't feel bad, we all do that sometimes. As a DM, I fully understand. I am having a blast! Plus, I think this will be a good experience for Rav.
Sashah swiftly moves over to Ravvek and the object of his interest. Halfway he says a quick prayer . "I have never met kind like you before! Can I ask qvestions?"
Sashah as you place your hand on Rav’s arm, you notice that his skin is quite cold and clammy. You may still cast your spell on f you wish but your intuition says it may be fruitless.
“Too soon...” are the last words Ravvek hears before darkness takes hold.
[ooc]what god(s) does Ravvek pay homage too?[/occ]
Zayless attempts another blast.
Seeing the others engage Scram tumbles into the chamber, the tips of his shortswords whistling in the wind...
Scram pops up out of nowhere behind the creature and stabs both swords directly into its neck from both sides, sending a shower of black blood everywhere.

Looking at Anton in all his fury, she seems to put her hands up defensively ”Surely you would not harm a defenseless woman?” She seems scared.
Scramsax moves in quickly, his sword darting in faster than the eye could follow. He knows his strike was perfect in every way but it seems like the blade’s impact was lessened somehow.
