Uh, Alexei's attack was against the sinspawn, I thought the quasit was out of my reach...

Using is blade to good effect, Alexei blanches when the quasit goes invisible. "Now that vile thing can be anywhere. Let's finish her handiwork, and search her out." he cries, stepping back to ensure the cathedral's doors are closed, and the invisible quasit can't escape.

Step back, and ready an action if the doors starts to open.

Sorry, about the delay, guys. It shouldn't be happening again because I just dropped the anvil on some of my games to focus on a smaller number of games. And this one means a lot to me. So consider me refocused.

Will Save DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

The quasit resists the swirling lights of the color spray spell and remains quiet.

Okay, so Beromar is up.

I may be out of tricks?

With the quasit nowhere to be seen Beromar refocuses his attention on the spinspawn as he moves into a flanking position with Viroleth and cleaves with his axe.

Attack1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Do you got a crossbow, Loges?

Beromar finishes off the sinspawn along with Viroleth. And then Loges desperately launches a swirl of colorful lights in hopes of catching the demon off guard. But if he hit anything, he couldn't tell.

But then brave Alexei cuts off the demon's retreat by slamming the doors shut.

Bruin stands by Beromar and grasps his holy symbol.

"Goddess Desna, oh, Starsong, fill us with your grace."

Channel Energy : 1d6 ⇒ 6

Could someone move my halfling next to Bero?

Flying DC 15 : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

The Heroes can hear soft chanting.

Unless you guys can beat a 41 stealth check I wouldn't bother rolling perception.

Moved Bruin to safety

Hoping for a 20!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Viro lets out a sigh as his wound is healed.

"Thanks Bruin," he looks around the room for a moment. "Quiet little thing. I wonder what her next trick is..."

Hearing the invisible demon casting, Alexei gives the sign to ward the evil eye, and spits over his left shoulder, hoping to protect himself from whatever foul magic the quasit had in mind.

"She's trapped in here now, lads. We just have to smoke her out and bring her down."

Perception, to hear the spellcasting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

[ooc]If Alexei hears her, attacks with his longsword with usual miss chance, and alerts his allies to her likely location. If not, he strains to locate the sound next round.

Sword strike, if necessary: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

But where could she be?

Perception1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

my hard drive crashed Wednesday.I may be sporadic.

Loges reaches into his pack, retrieving a scroll.
He readies an action to cast it if he can locate its general direction

scroll of colorspray

Bruin pulls up his crossbow and waits for the demon to show up.

Ready action to fire crossbow.

Suddenly a human-sized centipede appears before the ranger in a puff of yellow, sulphurous smoke. The ranger swings his sword to defend himself,but the blade deflects off of the evil creature's chitinous armor.

Bruin is startled and fires his crossbow at the creature.

Crossbow vs. Giant Centipede: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The bolt lands heavily into the creature's neck but isn't enough to finish it off.

Bruin Will Save DC 13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Bruin feels a force invade his thoughts telling him to sleep. But the halfling shrugs it off with a shaken head. In a moment, the demon shows up in the center of the room, perfectly for Loges to cast his spell.

Demon Will Save vs. DC 11: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

HA! OKay. Since our demon friend here critically failed. I am going to treat her as one higher on the fail category. Meaning she is blinded and stunned for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds, and then stunned for an additional round.

The Quasit is hit with a powerful blast of swirling arcane light. She drops prone on the ground and moans pitifully.

The centipede tries to attack Alexei but misses by a wide margin.

Everyone is up. Oh, and can we have a round of applause for our wizard! Seriously, he turned this fight around with a single readied action.

As the winged demon reappears Beromar steps forward and attempts a heavy double handed chop with his axe but he merely hacks into the wall.

Attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Alexei stabs at the newly summoned centipede, trying to keep it from getting a bite of him. He drives the sword down as hard as his weakened condition allows, finding a seam in the centipede's exoskeleton, the sword bites deeply.

Alexei longsword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Confirm!
Dmg, Crit: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Looks like even when you get lucky you get unlucky Alexei. Turning 2d8+2 into 7 damage isn't all that easy...

Quickly, she will recover soon!

Seeing his route to the quasit blocked in all directions, Viro clenches onto his swords and then steps back before he charges the fountain, leaving the ground to clear it in a single long jump!

Long Jump: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Well that was close! Move five feet, and then jump over the fountain to beside the quasit. 20' for a DC 20 acrobatics check.

Looks like even when you get lucky you get unlucky Alexei. Turning 2d8+2 into 7 damage isn't all that easy...

Tell me about it...I critted for 3 dmg the other day in PFS...

Loges reaches into his pack for another scroll.

Alexei slices the head of the giant centipede off with a single perfect slash. The body of the fiend immediately dissipates into a cloud of sulphur.

Viroleth agilely leaps over the deadly pool in a single impressive bound. But then Beromar's wild, over-enthusiastic swing, just barely misses the demon.

Bruin's actions coming up...

Bruin drops his crossbow to the ground with a clang and then dives toward the demon.

"You're not getting away this time you unholy wretch!"

Grapple DC 8: 1d20 ⇒ 17

He lands atop the prone demon and wrestles her for a moment, cinching her tight. The demon moans and hisses but is unable to fight back.

You know, considering she's blinded, stunned, prone, and now grappled... I'm gonna call it. She's officially helpless as far as I'm concerned. Prep them Full Round Coup de Gras, fellas. Remember, they auto-hit and auto-crit, so just roll that damage, if you're adjacent.

Everyone is up.

Having landed neatly beside the quasit, Viro hesitates for a moment, and then steels himself as he thinks of what he's been told about Lamashtu. He stabs out, but only manages a glancing blow on the tiny quasit.

Coup De Grace: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Your short sword auto-crit and sneak attack applies. I'll roll the extra damage.

Viroleth Coup de Grace: 4 + 1d6 ⇒ 4 + (5) = 9

Beromar watches Viroleth spills the demon's blood and heaves asigh of relief..

Well that was more complicated than I woulda thunk. Them demomns are tougher than they look!

So are we fully spent already? What now?

Well, she hasn't died just yet...

Demon Fort Save DC 19: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Annnnd, now she's dead. Congrats, fellas. I'll Calc XP in a bit.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Once Bruin is sure that the demon is truly dead, he shakily lets go and collapses on the ground, panting heavily.

"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel very heroic," he said with a chuckle that turned into a groan. "Note to self: Laughing hurts."

-Posted with Wayfinder

So the quasit was worth 1,200xp, and the sinspawn were 600xp each. Add that up and divide and that's 480xp for each player.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Loges looks at the dead quasit with Clearfield and fatigue on his face.

arcana: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Bruin's hand absently brushes up against something sharp. He feels around and finds a tiny dagger. The dagger is made of cold iron and begins to grow to refit his hand.

"This dagger is magical," he says astonished. He casts a spell to detect magical properties, but is unable to detect anything specific.

Spellcraft DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

-Posted with Wayfinder

Who needs magic demon daggers! Beromar remarks with a sneer as he eyes Viroleth warily.

Viro grins over at Beromar.

"Provided I can be assured it won't eat my soul, I do! A dagger held by a demon isn't necessarily a demon dagger, I think."

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

-Posted with Wayfinder

Bruin shrugs as he hands the dagger over to Viroleth. "Well, if you want it, here you go. It might be a bit small for you though."

Bruin watches the dagger magically adjust to Viroleth's hand size.

"Or, maybe not."

"Well, in any event. I don't see a symbol of Lamashtu on the dagger, so it's probably okay. I can check for you tomorrow, if you're really concerned about it swallowing your soul."

The cleric looks over the dead demon's body. "I wonder what else she has. It would be a terrible shame to leave behind any relics of historical value."

#Loot
+1 cold iron returning dagger
tiara
black silk gown
obsidian unholy symbol of Lamashtu

Bruin knows that the Black Silk Gown is worth 25gp. He knows because he has a sister. That's his story and he's sticking to it.

We still need DC 20 Appraise checks on the Tiara and Unholy Symbol.

Viro looks delightedly at the dagger, and spends as much time as he can throwing it at things and watching it zip back into his hand.

"This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me..." he continues to ping the dagger off of various things in the room, catching it and generally having one hell of a time.

After growing bored of his new possession (or Beromar's glare), Viro inspects the other items on the dead quasit.

Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"Well that symbol of a vile demon-goddess of.. what, monstrous births? Uh, either way I know a good fence for that."

Awesome rping guys...off to work...post in the morning.

Be carefuls that ye don't cut yerself. The demon might suck your heart out if ye does. But that thing is a very powerful tool. In our lands they tell tales of Dwarven Throwers a Hammer that will return to it's wielder. Granted it's a warhammer and not a puny knife but must be similar magics. And Dwarven throwers are only wielded by great heroes of Dwarven kind. Me great great grandfather Gorgen Copperkettle was said to have wielded a Dwarven thrower when he slew the mighty Silverscale. Sadly he wadn't quick enough and burried under the mighty beasts corpse...

Just outta curiosity... can Viroleth throw his dagger twice a round via TWF? I know TWF works for thrown weapons but I was kinda assuming it would require well you know two weapons...

Weapons with Returning don't actually come back until the beginning of your next turn. So, no, you can't throw it more than once per round.

"We should be able to sell the unholy symbol to the chapel here. Goodly religions generally buy things like that so they can properly dispose of them. I'd much rather that than see someone cause any mischief with this."

You know the unholy symbol is worth 10gp, Viro. Could you appraise the tiara as well?

-Posted with Wayfinder

"We may have killed the demon, but we don't know what other dangers lurk about. Personally, I can tell you that my magic is spent. And without that I'm only somewhat competent with a crossbow. I think we should return to the abandoned goblin camp outside the cave. The rest of us can watch the door while Loges and Alexei return to town. The priests there can heal Alexei. If we split the costs it won't be much. What do you guys think?"

Lesser Restoration will cost 60gp normally. But we still have that 10% discount, so really it's 54gp split 5 ways.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Appraise: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Viro sheathes the dagger and nods over to Beromar. "Perhaps this is a weapon with potential for the greatest good, who was foully kidnapped by a demon. Only a noble hero such as I can set it on the right path... probably by sticking goblins with it."

Viro nods enthusiastically. "Good plan. You holding up all right Alexei?"

As much as hate to leave demons and the like alive I agree wit the little one. Too dangerous for us to push on now.

Viroleth estimates the Tiara to be worth 40gp.

Bruin takes the Tiara, the Unholy Symbol and the Gown from the dead demon. When the others look at him oddly he says, "What? It's black silk! Do you have any idea how hard this is to find in Varisia? This thing is worth twenty-five gold measures, at least."

:-)

So it looks like we make camp outside the dungeon, while Alexei gets healed up. If no one opposes this, then that's what we'll do.

"I'm pretty uncomfortable looking at that tiny, naked, dead demon. She looks like some sort of grotesque lizard creature with breasts."

Viro grabs a pair of spare breeches from his pack and drops them on the quasit's corpse.

"That's better."

Viro will happily donate the 10 gp, 8 sp.

Loges watches the group, clear exhaustion radiating from his slouching body.

He helps the group prepare the camp.
Waving his hands about, Loges begins to clean and clear the area for sleeping.

I appreciate the time to recover and to.study my spellbok.
I am afraid that such a.quick.reduction of both our resources bolds us ill.
