Jili waves for Edgar to open the door.

Aha! Thanks. With Ro zigging and everyone else zagging I was thinking something about how I read it was off. Strike Ro's previous post in favor of this one.

Ro closes the door very softly and carefully. She walks quickly to the others and lays out a plan, keeping her voice low.

"We have two on the way. One probably human, the other not but big, maybe the bugbear. Let's get ready to welcome them. Matrim, against the wall on the hinge side of the door. You'll have good cover when they open it." I'm assuming the door opens into the room since there are stairs on the other side.

"Karmid, against the wall on the other side of the door. Edgar, you're our bait, center of the room about 30 - 35 feet away. Make sure they see you and keep their attention away from Karmid and Matrim on each side." Or if the door they're coming through is the red one on the map addition there is no other side of the door. In that case Karmid you're with Edgar as bait.

"Everyone else find a place out of sight, like behind a statue. Bows and crossbows ready. Don't take a shot until they're well committed to entering the room."

Ro quickly moves to one on the nearer statues and takes up a her position to wait.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Lia cowers down behind the statue, ready to grant Karmid a bit of extra luck on his assault.

Uldar nods and ducks behind a conveniently placed statue.

No problem. Somebody put me on the map where I need to be please? I'm at work and can't pull it up.

Nodding emphatically, Karmid moves with a smile, his hammer at the ready as always.

Stealth w/Armor: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 = 16

Matrim moves into position and hides.
stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

He nods his head ready.

Jili takes her place behind the statue. She pulls out her bow and an arrow, and nods her head that she's ready.

Edgar does as he's told and opens the door for all the ranged combatants. His shield is at the ready, sword sheathed that he might have the free hand. Defense is more important than the ability to strike at this moment.

Ro heard them coming from the western door, sorry for the confusion.

Karmid can hear footsteps coming closer and closer down the stairs. The door handle turns and is opened slowly, "I'll grind yer bones and eat ya fer soup stupid Goblins". The figure growls. At that exact moment, the western door opens as well!

Before the group stands Nualia, she laughs. "Setting a trap are we? How clever of you Rojava. Welcome to my home, the site of your burial..."

Nualia has her weapon drawn, as does the Bugbear.

Do you want dialogue first or to head into the final fight!

Initiative -
Ro & Matrim - GO!
Bugbear
Lia, Karmid, Uldar, Edgar, Jil, Drasven
Nualia, Yeth, Fighter, & Wizard.

Sorry, I didn't see the bugbear went first! Hold on to my action and let it process as soon as it would normally in initiative!

Although he does a double take at Nualia's unnatural beauty, he knows what his problem is currently. Karmid doesn't hesitate!

"Havoc! That's our prey Nualia! Take her out!!"

He then leans into his combat style (swift action) and begins attacking the bugbear at his door!

Thunder and Fang!

His hammer takes a huge chunk out of the door jamb, but his klar's blade easily slides into he bugbear's thigh!

Ro has to at least try.

"You're one of us Nualia! We've shared meals, slept under the same roof! We don't have to do things this way!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Well, I guess she's wrong. We'll have to do things this way.

Matrim will strike at the Nualia as she is somewhat unaware of his presence beside the door.

damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8sneak attack: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

He will now move away from the door with a five foot step.

Sorry, didn't know it was my turn.

Matrim catches Nualia flat footed as Ro speaks, she shrieks in pain as Matrim truly wounds her!

"Oh but it does!"

Dark energy surges from her!

Quicken Channel Negative Energy 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 - all PC's make Will saves DC 15 to halve the damage from the Channel.

The Bugbear, not seeing Karmid behind the door, charges at Drasven, "Due intruder!" Drasven's armored coat absorbs the blow.

The Bugbear's speed initially throws Karmid off balance but his second strike slides through the bugbears thigh and he let's out a yelp of pain and surprise from the attack.

Round 1 -
Lia, Uldar, Edgar, Jil, Drasven - GO!
Nualia, Yeth, Fighter, & Wizard.

WILL: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Whew!

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Uldar, having not encountered Nualia before, has no idea who she is. But she makes it clear that her intentions are not noble. Staggering under her assault, he starts a song of encouragement for his companions. imagine "We Will Rock You"
inspire courage, +1 bonus to attack and damage, +1 will saves vs fear

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Karmid grimaces but fights through the waves of bad energy, turning to follow the Bugbear!

"Big and furry! You don't want to ignore me again!"

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Lia keeps as far away from everything happening as the statue allows...just darting forward enough to touch Karmid, granting him a bit of luck...and doing the customary introduction:"Hi Nualia, I think we never met. What happened to your arm?"

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Felling the full force from the channel, Matrim curses, That hurt. he said as he steps back up and attacks twice with his blades. Not happy that the woman hasn't moved out from the narrow passage..

2 Daggers: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Missing all attacks...

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

She sighs as she resists most of the negative energy and then she casts bless on the party.

+1 to Attack Rolls and Fear Saves.

Edgar steps up to the bugbear, drawing his scimitar and slicing! His heritage surges forth from the blade, causing a light fiery trail to be left in its wake.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 26

He does however take the full blast of the negative energy, life force straining against the outward influence.

The Godtouched call upon aid for each other as Edgar steps backwards to meet the Bugbear in battle, his Scimitar cuts the brute low!

Drasven mutters prayers to Abadar for succor Swift Action to cast Protection from Good on himself and charges at Nualia.

Attack Longaxe 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16. Nualia raises her blade to block his strike.

The villains strike back, Nualia steps to the side to fully confront the thief that wounded her so badly as her Yeth Hound charges right at Drasven.

Her sword strikes Matrim in the right shoulder. 10 Damage Matrim The Yeth is all over Drasven despite his spell of protection and the creatures powerful jaw latches on Drasven's forearm tearing out a large chunk of flesh. 16 damage Drasven.

Meanwhile the human fighter heads own the stairs taking a swing at Karmid sword and board style while yet another member of Nualia's party steps down the stairs to cast a spell.

Karmid's foe swings with the equivalent of a haymaker and the clearly trained warrior is no novice as his bastard sword hits home. Take 17 damage Karmid. The spell from the woman on the stairs stikes Edgar on the chest and he feels his strength sapped. Edgar, -6 to strength.

Round 2 -
Ro, Lia, Karmid, Uldar, Edgar, Jil - GO!
Nualia, Yeth, Fighter, & Wizard.

Matrim presses his daggers against Nualia but to no avail, he cannot get through her defenses!

She laughs cruelly as yet another wave of negative energy washes over the group. Quicken Channel Negative Energy 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 - all PC's make Will saves DC 15 to halve the damage from the Channel. Karmid, if you make that save you are at 0 HP just an FYI.

Drasven, bloodied but fighting back, attacks the Hound once more. Will saves vs. Negative Energy #1 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 # 2 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 - Drasven is at 9/38 HP. Attack Longaxe 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 - Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16.

You did not think it would be easy, did you!? The PC's minus Matrim and Drasven are UP!

Ro barely has time to think, but she knows they must not be caught in a pincer situation. Calling out "rasvainen lattia!" she splashes the floor and base of the stairs at the entrance by Karmid with Grease to hold off the Nualia's allies.

"Karmid! To me! Now!"

WILL: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

The idea is to put Grease (DC 14) on the 1st square in the room in front of the doorway, and the square just behind it at the steps. Hopefully that will force the wizard behind the fighter to step onto the grease to make line of sight into the room for spell casting. I'm assuming the current positions on the map are correct. If that won't work, the most important thing is to get the fighter off his feet so whatever placement does that while blocking the doorway will work instead.

Nope, didn't expect it to be easy. Ro has been completely terrified for quite a while now.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
All for now, need to ponder options and see if Karmid remains standing - Karmid, don't forget you are lucky! All D20 rolls are double.
@GM: Just making sure, but Nualia HAS selective channel and a sufficient Charisma to exclude all her allies in addition to quick channel?

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Edgar does resist much of the strength draining spell, though he still feels a bit weaker. He steps forward once more, energy flowing into the blade as he strikes at the enemy found there as well.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14

Deciding that he's a bit close to the pretty lady with the crazy arm and death in her eyes, Uldar falls back a bit and fires off a couple of spell arrows at Miss Scary.
continue performance as free action, move, cast magic missile
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8 force damage

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

With cry of pain, Karmid suddenly drops like a stone.

Oh well...I tried. Sorry guys. Don't her friends have to make saves too? Its not like they are undead, right?

*sigh* granting karmid luck seems wasted. I understand you forget the rerolls when it is less important...but now? After i reminded you? *Smh*

OMG! Sorry Lia. I didn't see that! I tend to focus on the action when we are in combat an didn't realize you had given such a bonus to me.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

OK...lets say a little Luck retcon here...just before he fell down.

Surging from the pain, Karmid swells to his larger self (a swift action)
and attacks his enemy in an attempt to take him out quickly!

Thunder and Fang(Large Size)!
Earthbreaker(2-Weapon Fighting): 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 - 2 = 20

After this flurry of attacks, Karmid then drops like a stone, his body shrinking slowly back to its normal size.

Ro cries out his name when she sees Karmid fall.

Karmid can be frustratingly stubborn, but Ro curses herself as naive and an idiot.

I knew people were coming down the stairs and I wasted time trying to talk to Nualia like I'm living in some horse-crap schoolgirl's chivalry and romance book. If I'd acted sooner instead that man wouldn't have made it to Karmid on his feet.

She determines she won't make the same mistake again. Every enemy here dies.

Lia sees Karmid fall, Drasven wounded, blood in all paths.
Gathering the last of her arcane energy, and the last bit of her focus, she aims the resulting ball of ice at the Fighter who felled Karmid.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 23 Cold Damage(CL5): 5d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3, 6) = 17

Acrobatics to fly through threatened squares: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Jili gasps when she sees Kharmid fall. She casts Cure Light Wounds holding on to the spell, and moves up to cast it on him.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ok, I'll assume I'm stabilized then. Let me know when, or if, I wake up DMD?

Checks myself for channel......Nope.

Ro brings to life a grease slick beneath the fighter as Edgar and Karmid move to strike him. Edgar's strike clangs off of the man's upraised shield. Karmid's eartbreaker manages to smash the man in the side but his armor holds and no harm comes to him besides the gritting of teeth, his weapon easily parries Karmid's second attack. The effort is too much for the Shoanti though and he falls to his knees dazed by the dark power of Nualia.

Just as the lights are about to go out, Jil's spell reinvigorates him! Karmid may be hurt, badly, but he's not out of this fight yet.

Uldar targets Nualia and his force missiles strike unerringly her look, one of pure hatred gives the halflinga lump in his throat.

Carefree Lia's spell slams the tough warrior facing down Karmid and Edgar in the face he shakes his head to get the snow out of his eyes and moves to swing at the Godtouced, only then realizing his footing is not quite so sure anymore!

The fighter falls to the ground, "Damnit Lyrie, dispel this or something!" Taking Full Defense

Meanwhile Nualia attacks Matrim once more with her bastard sword striking him throguh the belly, he falls! Matrim take 16, with the channel that is either 19 or 21, eitehr way he is in the negatives at the moment.

The Hound chomps at Drasven's beard but the cagey dwarf bends backwards away from the dangerous jaws.

The female Wizard draws a wand, "Sorry Orik, not a spell I know". The wand releases force energy that strikes Jil. Jil takes 7 damage.

Round 3 -
Ro, Lia, Karmid, Uldar, Edgar, Jil, Drasven, (Matrim make a Stabilize Roll) - GO!
Nualia, Yeth, Fighter, & Wizard.

Nualia turns to Ro and grins as she draws a potion from her belt, "Sweet Sweet Rojava, did you miss me and wanted to see me? Did you think you and your friends came here without my knowledge? I knew you would come but you will never leave!"

Quickly getting back to his feet, Karmid attempts to ake advantage of his foe's weakness, growing to large size again for this final attempt for the day!

"Eat hammer metal-skin!"

Thunder and Fang(Large Size)!

Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14

Edgar steps up, sword swung mightily on their somewhat downed foe, hoping to remove him from the fight. "RRRRaaaaa!", he roars, fire still trailing the blade.

Ro sees Matrim drop to the floor, but can't think of a way to help him. She's itching to use her bow, but the thinks she can hurt Nualia in other ways more.

"Fixating just a little bit there Nualia? You sound like a creepy ex-girlfriend."

Repeating the words "rasvainen lattia!" Ro slathers Nualia's sword in Grease.

While her magic is active, Ro siphons a little extra into her bow, magically enhancing it.

DC 14 Reflex or drop the weapon. If she uses the sword in subsequent rounds she must make a Reflex save or drop it. Using 1 point from her arcane pool to put +1 enhancement on Rojava's bow as a swift action.

Uldar wilts a bit under Nualia's glare. Wow, this chick is seriously scary! Figuring hitting her is better than not hitting her, he opts for the magic missiles again.
continue performance, cast magic missile.
Btw, my initial idea was to send a missile at Nualia and one at her potion. But, rules say the spell doesn't hurt objects, so I don't think I can knock it out of her hand. If GM wants to rule otherwise, feel free to modify this :)
force damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Those jaws came too close... Drasven is sweating heavily as fatigue chases after him. His grip on his axe tightens as his companions screams out in pain and falls.

That shook him but he had to remain resolute, these younglings needed help and their once friend was no help in that matter!

Stepping back, his axe swings once more!
Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
"Abadar guide my hand! Aid me in bringing down this foe!"

9 hp left

That's 57 damage in my running tally against the fighter...I expect him to stay down...even if I missed something, he should not be able to take AoO while down.

Lia moves up right next to the female caster, suddenly jerking her Starknife upwards in an attempt to disarm her of the wand she is wielding. Cocking her head, Lia indicates Flutter next to the Wizard:"He bites. But not if you run! You came for knowledge, not death, didn't you?"

Acrobatics to pass Grease: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Disarm Lyrie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
I'm working under the assumption she has one hand with her wand, and a second free for casting - meaning she doesn't threaten. If that is not the case, I'll provoke with my attempt.

Flutter is ready to bite the moment the wizard starts casting.

Thistletop

Dungeon Level 2

Karmid's earthbreaker clangs off of Orik's shield but its force leaves enough of an opening that his second strike hits home leading to a groan from the Fighter. Edger's scimitar likewise finds its way through the man's defense but he manages to roll at the last second to avoid being skewered completely.

Orik yells out from under the din, "I surrender, I'm not getting paid enough to die down here lady!"

Drasven's axe draws a gash across the throat of the Hound but it does not relent.

Ro and Uldar focus on Nualia, force missiles pelting her once more, her sword slips right from her grasp leaving her in a bit of shock.

Lia gracefully leaps over the fray by the stairwell and bounds towards Lyrie who shrinks back a bit while Lia knocks the wand from her hand. It clatters to the stairs, "Uhhh, Nualia, I think they are winning!" Flutter holds off on its bite for the moment...

With the rest of the foes surrendering, unexpectedly, Jil draws an arrow her bow and fires at the Yeth seeing Drasven's phlight - Ranged Attack 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 23 - Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 It hits home and the beast falls!

Nualia looks at the field of battle with disgust, "Cowards! Then you shall all die!" Quicken Channel Negative Energy - Will Save DC 15 to halve 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Orik and Lyrie cry out in pain as Negative Energy washes over them this time as well!

Thereafter she drinks her potion, restoring much of her lost vitality.

Round 4 -
Ro, Lia, Karmid, Uldar, Edgar, Jil (whoever is up) - GO!
Nualia!

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Luck?
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Karmid falls down again, shrinking to normal size as he does so.

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
With the painful negative energy washing over him again, Uldar really begins to despair. He was hoping to help one of his allies, but he won't do anyone any good if he's dead. He continues his performance and casts a healing spell on himself.
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Ro really feels the energy emanating from Nualia this time. Nausea washes through her and her knees go weak. She can taste the blood running from her nose on her lips. It's more than enough to send the arrow she aims at Nualia off its mark.

Ro knows she's just about finished. What really matters is keeping Drasven and Edgar up and fighting. They're the ones who can finish her if they're given a little time and a chance.

Ro drops her bow and draws sword and buckler. Nualia seems to be nursing some grudge against her, so Ro will give her the opportunity to settle it. Maybe it will keep her busy long enough.

"You're fresh out of friends Nualia. But, b$&$% that you are, you're used to it huh? You're running out of time to make good on your promises to me."

Ro walks to the center of the room, 10' away from Nualia, and motions for the demon-woman to bring it.

Will: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14

You've been doing Inspire Courage Uldar? Dangit! Add +1 to hit and damage on all my attacks I guess. I really need to read my teammates posts more carefully!

+2 to hit and +1 damage, Jill cast Bless earlier for another +1 to hit, Uldar did the performance. And if you and Edgar paid attention, you had opportunities to flank for another +2 to hit.

Will Save, plus Hero point: 1d20 + 5 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 8 = 18 Now I wish I had entered the battle at full hp :P
Picking up the wand, Lia comments:"Come Lyrie, you're on our team now it seems.", pushing her up the stairs. "I am Lia. Stay close, we got a deal with the Goblins and with Not-Me and with Tsuto. Do you have healing? We are friends now, right? The kind that kiss or the other kind?"
At 1 HP, but out of line of effect for the channel burst(as Flutter already was - he maintains his action if she casts something hostile at me or him.)

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"By my sword and as I draw breath, you will not stop me!" Edgar looks at Nualia, and advances.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

I think I have been rolling the wrong die size for an unknown reason... scimitar is d6 not d8. Too much longswording in other campaigns. Apologies if that would have mattered.

Also I did go flank, I just took two turns to get there to avoid an AoO.
