DM Bloodgargler's Hell's Rebels

Game Master Camris

"Does anyone have anything in the way of a fireball?" Asked Idril hoping against hope as she put a chunk of rock in a fold of one of her scarves.
She whirled it around and let fly at one of the things.
Sling attack vs. (I,9): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 for a possible 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 bludgeoning damage.

Idril's chunk of rock strikes the centermost creature.. no reaction.. it appears to have been as effective as a balled stocking.

Round 1 (cont'd)

Bastargrae and Indio up

>map<

Indio looks down at his cane and sighs, not trusting it to be much good against creatures that do not look like they have any vital organs to begin with.
Once this little jaunt is completed, he resolves to have a sword cane custom made with a weighted end, so it can be used as a club in situations like these.

"This looks...troublesome..."

Holding action

Bastargrae readies his weapon, and stays by Idril's side.

The creatures both move to the edge of the pool, and push themselves up onto the stone floor. Their height is no more than four feet, but they are stocky... with their rolls of "melted" flesh.

Rexus steps up between Erodel and Idril.. he aims his left hand at the nearer foe, hisses a few words, and fires a sizzling green ball from his palm. His arcane projectile strikes the creature in the chest, but dissipates with no visible effect.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Round 2

party up

>map<

Idril nodded to herself.
"Right then. Thrown rocks don't do anything." She said, returning her scarf to it's place around her waist again.
"That looks like a lot of unarmored flesh. Perhaps something more cutting would be of service?" She wondered aloud, pulling her bladed scarf into her hands and taking a defensive stance.

Sorry. New job at UPS. Anyway...I have an extract called Tears to wine. Can I use it to turn that...sewage into Mead or wine to make the monsters drunk and avoid getting filth fever?

"Hey! They split up! Let's gang up on the right side one before they can move to support each other!" She called out to her friends.

K. planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Oh. Oh! If I'm not mistaken, these are devil-kind. Lemures." Asha looks apologetically at her companions. "I'm sorry, I don't know anything else about them." She gives Idril an encouraging pat on the shoulder. "The spirits will protect us."

Cast Shield of Faith on Idril.

Erodel loads his crossbow, takes aim, and fires at the lemure called out by Idril.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 7 (point blank, deadly aim, guidance)
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4 (point blank, deadly aim)

Well that was a resounding failure all around...

Indio moves to the left, hoping to occupy the "Lemure" long enough for the others to deal with the one on the right.

Move to D6, Draw weapon

Bastargrae - no .. there's too much of it. You can only affect a cubic foot at this level. (and lemme know if they give you any trouble at UPS... Oz Nelson (retired CEO) is a close family friend.)

Idril nodded her gratitude to Asha, and before she could reconsider her impulsiveness moved up to (E,13) and lashed out at the little devil with her bladed scarf.
bladed scarf attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 for a possible 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 slashing damage.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

The first lemure plods over to Indio.
Stubby claws extend as it takes a swing...
charging claw: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 = 23
slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The other squat devil claws at Bastargrae and Idril.
claw vs Bgrae: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
claw vs Idril: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Rexus moves up to support.
DC10 aid another Idril +2 to hit 1 round: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Round 3

party up

>map<

Seeing the bleeding slashes across his chest, Indio manages to restrain himself enough to give nothing more than a grunt of pain.
The dullness of the creatures eye makes him suspect that he is singularly unsuitable for combating them, but he does not see a way to avoid it.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Damnit!" Erodel says as he drops the crossbow and charges off to help Indio.

Charge to (E,7), pulling his falchion along the way

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17 (charge)
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

AC 14 until next round

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Yelling as the fat lump of demonic lard stuck it's claws into his poncho and found flesh beneath,Bastargrae lashed out with his pincher in retaliation.He managed to stick the end of it squarely into its folds of blubber but failed to grasp anything to do any damage in return.

Asha hisses in sympathetic pain as first Indio, then Bastargrae are being clawed by the creatures. A small part of her mind notes with satisfaction that Idril escaped their tender attentions, and thanks the spirits for their protection of the other woman. Well, time to spread that around. She dashes after Erodel, laying a compassionate hand on Indio's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm here."

Cast Shield of Faith on Indio.

Entering an energetic whirling Dervish Dance, Idril danced aside from the claws and whirled around to square (G,14) to flank the little creature.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
She lashed out again with her Bladed Scarf.
bladed scarf flank attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 17 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5 slashing damage.

"Much obliged my lady, I would bow and kiss your hand in gratitude, but alas, I fear such displays will have to wait for now."

Indio's blade has no visible effect, but Erodel's falchion appears to hack through to tender flesh. It retaliates against Erodel.
Bastargrae, Idril, and Rexus have the other surrounded, but have yet to inflict damage upon it. Idril's movement caught its slow-witted attention.. it claws at her twice now that she's stopped moving.

claw vs Erodel: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
claw vs Erodel: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

claw vs Idril: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
claw vs Idril: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Rexus strikes from behind.. "Ha Ha! Felt that did you not?"
Rexus flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Round 4

party up

>map<

Grimacing at being clawed, Idril continued her whirling Dervish Dance, and her bladed scarf drifted out to caress the Lemure.

bladed scarf flank attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 slashing damage.

The flabby devil twitches as Idril's scarf cuts deep enough to wound.

E,6 is down 5hp, F,13 is down 2hp

Erodel scowls as the lemure's claw rakes his flesh.

Stepping into a flanking position with Indio, Erodel takes another swing at the devil.

5 ft step to (F,6)

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16 (flank)
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9

Hmph, as I suspected, I am singularly unsuitable for this task, but it is the task I have taken upon myself, so I have no choice but to see it through.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Definitely must invest in a hooked hammer!!

Bastargrae,once again,failed to be effective.

One of the creatures had slashed up Idril again, so Asha rushes over to help. Her touch suffuses the other woman with healing and warmth. For a split second there is a sharp, almost bitter smell in the air, as of an exotic herb.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Could everyone please update their actual/total HP? It's difficult to keep track of who's been injured otherwise.

It only hit me once for 1 point of damage; you've healed me up to max.

The lemure devils continue to slash at those fighting them, but fail to hit anyone. The one struck twice by Erodel seems to be having trouble.

Asha- that is further than you can move in an action, but I'll let it ride if you give up one action this round. (also provokes AoO which I've rolled.. miss)

Round 5

party up

same map.. Asha to F,15 is only movement... oh and Erodel 5' step to D,6

Idril continued her whirling Dervish Dance, and her bladed scarf drifted out to caress the Lemure.

bladed scarf flank attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 16 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 slashing damage.

Erodel should be in (F,6). Indio is in (D,6)

Maintaining his flanking position with Indio, Erodel hacks at the fleshy blob again.

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16 (flank)
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

If the lemure drops, Erodel will move to (D,11). If not he will stay where he's at.

"Hmmmph, it does appear that my contribution to this fight may be restricted to distracting our foe as more competent warriors fell them."

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

oh yeah..

The lemure devil between Erodel and Indio jerks and lets out "ungh" sounds as it topples over.. and dies.

The other receives another minor wound from Idril's bladed scarf.

Asha and Bastargrae up

Careful to avoid the creature, Asha urges the gnome on. "You can do it!"

Cast Guidance on Bastargrae.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 + 1 = 3

Emboldened by Asha's encouraging buff,tbe gnome jabbed out with his pincher once more to deliver a vicious nip.

Rexus nearly loses his balance fighting on the edge of the foul pool, and steps away from it.
The lemure swipes at him and Bastargrae... clawing them both.

3 damage to Bgrae

Round 6

party up

>map<

Discomfited at losing her flank, Idril maintained her whirling Dervish Dance, and her bladed scarf again drifted out to caress the Lemure.

bladed scarf attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4 slashing damage.

Erodel steps into the position vacated by Rexus, entering a flanking position with Idril as he hacks at the remaining lemure.

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15 (flank)
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

Meanwhile, Indio steps up behind Erodel and attempts to aid in his attack as best as he can.

Aid another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Erodel gets the beast's attention.. as Bastargrae jabs again, and Asha lends aid
It turns to Erodel, and swipes.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Round 7

party up.. Bgrae and Asha still have rd6 actions too. AC14, DR 5/unknown, 5hp left... kill plz.

Happy to be back in flank, Idril maintained her whirling Dervish Dance, and her bladed scarf again drifted out to caress the Lemure.

bladed scarf flank attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4 slashing damage

Erodel growls as the fight continues, "Will you just die already?" as he maintains the flanking position with Idril and hacks at the remaining lemure again.

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6 (flank)
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

Asha uses her staff to try and keep the thing motionless for long enough that Idril can hurt it.

Aid another: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18
Aid another: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Indio darts his blade to the left and right of Erodel, attempting to keep the foe unbalanced as much as possible so his comrades can finish it off.

Aid another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Rexus jabs with his epee...
The lemure swipes at Rexus and Erodel.. Rexus receives a minor wound, and torn sleeve.

Rexus vs lemure: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
1d6 ⇒ 6
vs Rexus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
1d4 ⇒ 2
vs Erodel: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

party up... 4hp remaining

Idril maintained her whirling Dervish Dance, and her bladed scarf again drifted out to caress the Lemure.

bladed scarf flank attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 11 for a possible 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 slashing damage.

"I believe one more good strike should do it, let us end this detestable menace once and for all."

Aid another on Erodel: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"I sure as hell hope you're right." Erodel quips back to Indio as he hacks at the lemure again, cutting deep into the undulating blob of flesh.

Falchion: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23 (flank) - potential crit
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Confirm?: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17 (flank)
Extra Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

The lemure crumples.
No other threats are visible at the moment.
There is more to this chamber.. on this side of and beyond the polluted cistern.

Rexus looks to Asha "Sinister symbols and lo we have devils.. what do you make of it?" He steps within sight of the wall carvings and writings.
