DM Elanmorin's Hell' Rebels

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

The Hound reloads and keeps his eyes peeled.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Note to self, stock up on dust and tanglefoot bags. You guys see anything?"

Rocco sees the 3 surviving cultists running towards the opened double doors to the east and then disappear...

Do you want to rush after them

I think that's up to Rocco since he's the only one that can see them really. He would have to lead us somehow, either by verbal commands or literally. Since Rocco can see invisible creatures, can Kurglunn too? Like a familiar that shares a spell with a wizard?

Rocco moves around the corner and points toward the open double doors. "They went through there! Quick! After 'em!"

Unfortunately, Kurglunn doesn't benefit from the spell at the moment, so Rocco would be leading all of you guys. Feel free to ignore him/rein him in. The spell will last for a good bit anyway, so if we move into the next room soon and they're still in there, he'll be able to give the heads up.

Lirotha immediate follows Rocco's pointing hand.

"Follow Quickly! We cannot allow them to warn others we are here!"

As soon as I can get a clear shot at them with Rocco's help, I'll throw a Glitterdust spell at them! DC16 or they get blinded too!

Oren follows behind the other two, wanting them to find and illuminate the enemies so she could run in and smash their faces in.

Elurius rushes after everyone as they head out of the room, banner in one hand and the other poised to cast a spell.

♫"If you point them out,
I can line them out!"♫

Elurius has Faerie fire as a first level spell, which is like a poor man's glitterdust; no blinding but it outlines clearly making invisibility moot. She's readied to cast it as soon as Rocco points them out.

I think you still have to SEE your target for that spell to work. Its great for thieves hiding in shadows, or preventing spellcaster from turning fully invisible after it takes effect however.

It is a burst spell, so you take a bit of a chance with your targetting, but if you know someone just belted your team mate invisibly, then it is a reasonable shot.

The Hound follows close behind Rocco ready to fire if they become visible.

The Silver Ravens, led by Rocco, run after the fleeing sultists through the double doors to the east. What they see as they enter the new room is... unexpected.

A ten-foot-wide pit yawns in the center of this room, leaving a five-foot-wide walkway surrounding it. No railing guards the edges of the pit, which are decorated with shards of jagged glass and metal.

Rocco notices 2 of the cultists running further east while another turns to the south...

What do you do? Remember to move your tokens on the map please

Lirotha, seeing the room immediately activates her newly acquired Flight Hex and hovers over the exposed pit for a good look down and perfect vantage point for spellcasting...hopefully.

As a half-elf carrying an Everburning Torch in one hand...directly over the pit. Which I may regret...can I see the bottom?

"Rocco! Where are they! Which way?"

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

I moved everybody, but guessed at location. Feel free to move each other about if you prefer a different location.

”Two of em right ahead of ya, Lirotha! Almost to the end of the hall.” Rocco turns and points to the one in the southern passage, ”K, there’s another one over there by the wall. See if you can catch em!”

Kurglunn follows Rocco’s direction and phases through the wall to avoid the broken glass and things lining the pit. As he reaches the open end of the southern passage, he turns and tries to move south.

Val races after where the invisible attackers are said to have gone.

And welcome back forums! Though still a bit dodgy by the looks of it.
Save text before posting!

Looks solid now. 12 months of backlogged updates in a short time!

Casting quickly....Lirotha targets the area Rocco points out! A blast of golden particles erupts in the passage!

Will save (yellow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Will save (yellow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Lirotha's spell makes the 2 fleeing cultists to the east visible again, although they seem to have suffered no other effect from the spell.

Meanwhile Rocco, Lirotha and Oren apporoach the central pit only to feel pulled towards it and discover to tehir horror it conceals a trap made of sharpened spikes hidden on its bottom!

Oren, Lirotha and Rocco: DC20 reflex save or suffer Falling damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 and a Spiked trap attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 → Damage roll: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Reflex 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Oren deftly doges the pit trap!

I stated earlier that I'm using my new flight hex. I'm hovering over the pit currently. I have at least 4+ minutes of flight left.

As soon as the guys to the east become visible, the Hound takes a step closer and raises his musket and fires at the one in green.

Attack Touch AC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

@Lirotha: noted, sorry for the mistake.

Lirotha avoids the pit trap thanks to her magic, while Oren does the same with her natural agility. Meanwhile the Hound opens fire, grievously wounding the man in green.

Rocco still needs to check against reflexes

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Distracted by the sight of the fleeing cultists, Rocco trips over the edge of the pit and finds himself bruised, banged up, and punctured by the spikes. "Ow!"

Elurius delays

As Rocco approaches the pit he falls into the trap and is thrown down into it. Elurius waits to see what happens next just as a powerful voice comes from the

"Who goes there! Mahathallah will have your souls, intruders!"

Does it look like Val can go around the pit?

Same question for Oren? Any easy way to cross the pit that she can tell?

Snarling, Lirotha targets the yellow-tinged man with her Slumber Hex!'

Things finally seem stable! Let's get going!

Elurius gives a glance at the pit and at the people on the other side, contemplating trying to jump it, but decides that she'd prefer the enemy coming to her. With a smile, she starts clearing her throat and running through a few magically tinged scales, waiting for a good chance to get in closer. As soon as an opening pops up, the half-elf slides into place and starts singing a simple but magically-infused song, giving the green tinged outline of a man an enticing look.

♫"Oi! You over there!
Why are you over there,
When you could be over here?
Come on, you know you want to be over here!"♫

Let me know if this seems okay to you GM...

Kurglunn continues to follow the last instruction he got from Rocco and begins moving down the hallway, but...*BUMP*...he runs into something he can't see. In a panic, he lashes out with a wild swing.

Slam, Magic Fang, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 - 2 = 18 Damage, MF, PA: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Invisible enemy miss chance, 51-100 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 95

If hit, target must make a DC15 Will save or be shaken for 1d4 rounds

@Oren & Valrani: yes, you can bypass the pit by stepping on its borders. You'll need to move carefully in order to do so, so half speed

DC16 Will save (yellow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

DC17 Will save (green): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Lirotha's target falls on the ground, unconscious, while his companion having resisted Elurius' magic, flees towards the double doors and disappears inside the room.

Kurglun bumps into something but can't hit it with his punches...

I can't remember if I told you already but in my games when rolling a percentile dice, low is always good, high is bad

The Silver Ravens expect some sort of counter attack but for the moment nothing else seems to happen...

Fair enough. Forgot about that.

Rocco stands and presses himself up against the walls of the pit. "Anyone wanna help me get outta here?" While he waits, Rocco draws his healing wand to taps himself with it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Valrani circles the edge of the pit, heading toward the sleeping figure on the other side.

Double move at half speed

"Nice work Lirotha"

Lirotha frowns and speaks quickly.

"It won't last long. Make sure the bastard is better disabled before he wakes. Anybody have rope for Rocco? My flying Hex won't lift him too."

The Hound shoulders his musket and gets on the floor and extends his hand as far as possible to grab Rocco and help him up if he can.

Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Rocco try grab my hand and I'll pull ya up. Anyone got rope."

Oren pulls a coil of rope from her backpack and lowers it to Rocco. She keeps an end and tries to pull him up.

Strength 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Elurius gives a huff of annoyance as her spell is kicked off and the man runs out of sight. She then watches as the man next to him falls over, snoring. She glances over at Lirotha with slightly expectant eyes.

♫"Don't suppose you could teach me to do that?
Be nice to put hecklers or people being distacting
to sleep at the drop of a hat!"♫

Without comment she reaches into the small, almost purse-sized bag hanging on her back and pulls out a large coil of rope that didn't look like it should fit and tosses it to the Hound.

♫"Here you go!
I want it back after yer done though."♫

The Silver Ravens react quickly to the surprising developments that manifested just a few seconds before. In short order they are ready to help Rocco out of the pit while the halfling is quick to heal himself.

On the other side of the room a tall humanoid creature sporting salmon colored skin appears. Two huge bone horns sprout hout of its skull. The creature wields a vicious, saw-toothed glaive, while below its toothy maw writhes a hideous, twitching beard.

Knowledge(planes) to identify

The monster boldly advances towards Kurglunn and slashes at the phantom with its glaive...

Attack roll vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 → Damage roll: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

And the great blade almost cleaves poor Kurglunn in two with one hit!

Elurius gives a slight start at the giant planer being that pops up and nearly kills Kurrglunn. She stares at it for a moment, melodically intoning. ♫"Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh, I think I know that..."♫

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Before blinking, and admending ♫"Nevermind, I don't!"♫

She instead flourishes the banner that is almost as lovely as she is, and starts prepping a spell. ♫"Does anyone, Oh, I don't know~, Happen to know~, what that is? Cause if it's Evil, Oh so Evil, I could probably protect us!"♫

Flag bearer is active!

Lirotha gasps at the sight of the creature!

Know(Planes)w/Book Bonus: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 5 = 33

Then quickly heals Rocco with a touch as he's hauled up from the pit.

"Damn!"

Healing Hex: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4) + 5 = 16

Not wanting the assassins to come on her front behind, Valrani steps forward and smashes him over the head with her staff.

crit damage for coupe de grace: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 4) + 12 = 18

Can I get to the demon thing with the glaive this round, without falling into the pit? If so, can I get an attack off at it? If I can, I’ll go ahead and make the roll. If not, I’ll move as far as I can to engage.

Oren kicks at the beast.

Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Lirotha identifies the new threat covering for Elurius' sudden lack of recognition as she heals poor Rocco's wounds. Meanwhile Valrani crosses the distance between herself and the sleeping cultist and caves his skull in with a powerful blow of her staff.

Following suit, Oren confronts the new diabolic being threatening Kurglunn but before she can connect she needs to brave the fiend's glaive!

Barbazu AoO vs Oren: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 → Damage roll: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Unfortunately for her the horned menace is extremely accurate with its weapon! But at least the Tien connects with her kick causing some damage as well!

The last remaining cultist reappears behind the devil and makes a sudden gesture at Oren yelling:"Run away!"

@Oren: DC14 will save or flee towards the pit

@GM: I'm sure I know the answer to this, but I have to double check. Is the demon's attack considered magical? If not, Kurglunn has DR 5 against the attack.

Kurglunn steps forward, showing some uncharacteristic degree of bravery in the face of this new, terrifying threat. The phantom swings his ectoplasmic fists in an overhead slam at the beast.

5ft step to stand beside Oren
Full attack with 2 slams

Slam 1, Power Attack, Magic Fang: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 16 Damage, PA, MF: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
Slam 2, Power Attack, Magic Fang: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 19 Damage, PA, MF: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

As Kurglunn steps up and attacks the demon, Rocco watches with horror, but quickly reacts by casting a spell through the connection that binds him to Kurglunn. Suddenly, the phantom disappears from sight!

Using the Deliver Touch Spells ability to cast Invisibility on Kurglunn! Two can play at that game! :D
Now let's just hope this thing doesn't have true seeing or blind-fight or something

Ok let me know when I can go next.

@Rocco: nope their attacks count as evil and lawful for the purpose of bypassing DR, I did not remember Kurglunn had gained a different kind of DR and thought he was weak to slashing damage. Anyway I rectified the damage he suffered

Kurglunn hits the devil once with one of his ectoplasmic fists then disappears thanks to Rocco's magic!

The devil roars in anger and focuses on Oren, clawing at the Tien woman before she can flee!

Valrani charges forward, hoping to help out the situation with the devil before it goes south.
Attracting an AOO, so hopefully when Oren flees she won't take another one.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
damage(magic,blunt): 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9

Oren turns and runs away, probably right into that godsforsaken pit.
