"If we manage to catch one alive, I'm sure the Tuigan Khanan would pay a princely fee for such a dog. Hrm." The swordmage abruptly ends his musings as the cavorting angels catch his eye. "This place is defended by some sort of magical fog. You best be prepared for side-effects, as I doubt it is just a fog. That, and I don't trust those darned angels. Oh Tymora, smile upon us, please? "

It's the first time the Raumathar says such a thing out loud.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Am I right when I say we can go either south or east?

The Paladin scans the chamber.

Though Lathander was his deity of choice, Lady Luck's benevolence could only help the group with the task at hand, so Zane nodded his agreement with Kardas's plea. Hearing nothing and greatly aware of Delenn's worries about a new pack of the hounds, the priest eagerly stepped forward with the others as they navigated this new level of the twisted Library, eyeing the cavorting angels nervously, mace in hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Kn Arcana: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Ishta follows the light, not really wanting to discover what other things might expect her in the fog.

"Where to now, Delenn? If I had to choose, I would try South."

Delenn nods before replying evenly, "You have good instincts Ishta. There are four chambers to the south, each of which contains an angel statue. We must move all four heads to open the last angelic gate which is in the middle. Then we shall descend into the soul of the Library where the rarest and most dangerous tomes are held. It is also there where we can reset the wards."

Ser Armithia steps to where his senses direct him.
Beware; evil is present!

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 (no idea, but Ishta made that one)
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 (hearing something)

Azarra listens to Ishata and Delenn and nods, glad that they know what to do next, but she warns

You guys, we aren't alone down here. I can hear something moving around. Hopefully the same thing that Ser senses. Which way is the evil, Ser?

Ishta stays alert, but sadly she can't do anything unless she can see a target.

Zane started to look about as Ser Armithia and Azarra stated that evil was present and moving about just beyond their senses. The priest wanted to head South and once again adjust the angel heads to proceed to the deepest level of the Library, but wasn't sure if waiting for the nearby baddie to show itself would be prudent. Then again, if they didn't press forward, they'd likely have the hounds to contend with, as well. "Let's press forward...I don't like this much better than anyone else, but if we stay put we might have two enemies to contend with..."

The evil that Ser Armithia senses is to the east! Only Azarra spotted it at first, but suddenly you see hanging from the ceiling a sinister being the color of spilt blood whose outline wavers and shimmers. This lean limbed horror has eyes like embers and a sneer full of needle-thin teeth that gleam from an unmistakably fiendish visage. A pair of crimson wings sprout from the back of it's hairless humanoid form, fluttering silently like an assassin’s cloak, while in one hand it clutches the twisted, dagger-like horn of some infernal terror!

Grinning with malevolence, the devil barks something in infernal and suddenly the lights go out! Unless you have darkvision, you can not see.

Azarra is up.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Can anyone counter its Darkness spell?

Ishta starts making a mental review of her scrolls. Has she brought anything useful? She'll roll and use whatever available when her turn arrives.

Going to give Azarra just a little bit more time.

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Azarra can't see the spellcaster after the darkness comes down, but she directs a sonice scream in that direction anyway, hoping that she can still catch it in the 15 foot cone since that is where it was before, and it likely didn't have time to move after casting.

Sonic Scream area effect damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 2) = 10

DC 15 reflex save for half

Unable to see their assailant, Azarra screams into the void! Was there a soft grunt of pain in response or was that just the patter of develish feet upon the ceiling?

Azarra SR check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 <--- PASS
Devil Reflex save DC15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 <--- PASS

Suddenly you hear Delenn gasp in pain and surprise! You hear her feet moving and the sound of something liquid pattering on the floor.
Murder most horrid: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (3, 2, 2) = 13 <--- HIT
AOO?: 1d20 ⇒ 1Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (3, 4, 3) = 18 <--- MISS

Suddenly the area brightens, although the mist is still there almost swallowing Delenn. You see in her hands the smoldering remnants of a scroll, a nasty wound in her side and blood all over the floor, with the devil between you and her hanging down from the ceiling. You can still hit it in melee although you have 20% miss chance due to blur. Rolling low = miss.

The devil runs along the ceiling before battering her wards aside to plunge it's awful horn like dagger deep into her upper chest! Her blood sprays at it rips it out, and the devil cackles with glee!
Murder most horrid?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 <--- HIT

Ishta Khosiv, Azarra, Kardas Rasalas, Zane Levallis, Ser Armithia-Seendren and Delenn are up. No AOOs because you haven't acted yet and where still flat-footed to it.

Azarra moves forward, unleashing the second scream of the continuing Sonic Scream spell at the devil.

Not sure how high the ceiling is, so she steps up closer if she has to be right under him

2d2d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1) = 4

Get another DC 15 reflex save for half (one for each cone of sound, so will get one next turn as well).

The ceilings are 15' high. It's a good 7' tall so you (well those in melee) can attack it's head reasonably enough.

The darkness evaporates. The knight of Helm lifts his bastard sword, hefting his heavy golden shield, and moves under the devil.
By Helm thoust shall be gone from this plane!

+1 bastard sword, swift smite: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 251d10 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 10 = 21

The sight of the fiend causes Kardas to spasm with rage and hate. "Ahh, Nar-spawn! DIE! DIE!" Woeful powers start swirling at the base of his blade and then, with a hiss, cling to it.

Std action: cast Touch of Fatigue, concentration DC 15.
Move action: move (and THEN attack, but just the once - no spell combat)
Concentration check vs DC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Attack 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 76
DC 12 fortitude save or Red is fatigued for 3 rounds. Can't run or charge, -2 to dex and str (so basically, -1 to hit, damage and AC) - though I doubt a roll of 11 beats its spell resistance.

As Delenn was on the other side of the hell-spawn and beyond his reach, Zane strode forward with the more effective fighters, Kardas, and Ser Armithia, and swung his mace upwards towards the fiend's head. Bringing the creature down would stop any more attacks, then the priest could tend to the wounds of the group.

Mace: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 26

oops miss chance 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 45

(I didn't roll a miss chance because it is a 15 foot cone area effect, which I don't think would be affected by blur, but I can if you determine I need to. Also didn't roll spell resistance, because it is just the second wave of the same spell.)

Just waiting for Ishta.

Sorry guys, Epiphany is a very important day here and I've been crazy busy.

Kn Planes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Ishta can see perfectly due to her strange gifts, but she knows her companions are not a lucky and some of them have already asked for a solution. Trying to discern which scroll has Delenn in her hands, she teaches for one of her own papers, reading its magic runes in the hopes of bringing light to the situation.

Using a scroll of Dispel Magic to dispel the Darkness.

Perception to check what is Delenn's scroll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Perception rolls are clearly not my thing.

Dispel Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Delenn already did that Ishata. You can choose to do something else if you like. @Azarra I think you can do something else this round and next. Also I'm only going to take the first 2 dice rolled, since the site rolled 3 dice for you.
Devil Reflex save DC15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 <--- PASS

The lingering remnants of Azarra's spell continue to reverberate against the Demons tough hide although he barely seems to notice.

Kardas casts a spell whilst dodging the Devil's claws and he slashes powerfully cutting through the Devil's tough hide although the cut wasn't as deep as he expected... His spell however fizzles into nothingness.

Zane's mace flashed out towards the Devil, but almost contemptuously it shifted slightly and the mace passed by harmlessly.

Ser Armithia was in an invalid square, I moved him to the closest valid position.
Ser Armithia's sword however could not be denied and with a sizzling flash it cut deeply through the Devil's hide, exposing bone and cauterizing flesh!

Wounded, Delenn backs up and barks her wands command word and a thin beam of intense heat sears into the Devil, but this just seems to enrage it!
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 6) = 17

The Devil snarls and rams it's dagger into Ser Armithia's neck, narrowly missing something vital.

Dagger: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 <--- HIT
Crit?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27Crit Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 <--- CRIT

It then turns on Delenn and lunges towards her snarling "死ぬエルフスカム"

It's dagger scores a deep gash along her side and it's tail smashes her in the face sending blood flying. She falls back badly wounded.
Dagger: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 <--- HIT

Ishta Khosiv, Azarra, Kardas Rasalas, Zane Levallis, Ser Armithia-Seendren and Delenn are up.

Delenn's state worries Kardas as she stumbles back and out of combat. With renewed vigor, Kardas engages the hellspawn with sword and spell.

Pretty sure nothing hits / goes through tho *sighs*

Damn, sorry, I understood that she was attacked before using her scroll. Let's say Ishta uses Touch of Rage on Zane (+2 to hit and damage).

Ishta you have two rounds worth of actions. Will that be your round 2 action? IF so do you want to do something for round 1?

Ishta reacts casting something that she she had never seen failing.

Magic Missile (CL 6): 3d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) + 6 = 15

Dagger crit range is 19-20 x2; normally? 9 damage? Also, AC 27 verses Smited target (not that it helped...lol).

A determination takes hold of the Paladin.

+1 bastard sword, swift smite: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 271d10 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 10 = 21

It has improved critical.

Figured; just had to ask...lol.

Round 1
Ishta's spell reliably as ever summons a trio of miniature silver darts which swarm towards the devil and detonate across his chest!
SR Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 <--- PASS

Round 2
Ishta casts another spell as she lightly touches Zane's arm, inciting a murderous rage within him!

Azarra, Zane Levallis and Delenn are up.

Whoops, sorry about the weird roll from before.

Third (and last) round of Sonic Scream:

SS Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

DC 15 reflex save for half, though not sure how that could get much worse. Also, Kardas is in the way of the end of the spell this time, and she can't move anywhere to avoid that (unless I am reading the weird black parts of the map wrong), so he needs the save too.

She shoots a blunt arrow at the devil each round as well

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10 (fail)
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15 (possible fail, but not sure?)

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 9 (definite fail either way)

But trying to shoot with all of this loudness inside of her was too much for her to handle, and both arrows went off in wild directions, luckily not harming her allies.

Apologies for the delay...have 2 folks out at work

Zane felt the surge of power and energy from Ishta's sorcery flow through him, his hand tightening upon the grip of his mace before he swung it down with power he could not have managed on his own.

Heavy Mace, Touch of Rage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
Damage, ToR: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 6 Geez...well, at least I didn't waste a hit, most likely

I think there's usually a minimum of 1 damage, so it's not worth rolling a save for Kardas.
Kardas finds the lingering effects of Azarras scream to be most unpleasant and a thin trickle of blood leaks from his left ear.

Azarra fires several arrows at the Devil, but they simply bounce off it's incredibly tough hide.

Kardas completes a spell and his blade fortified by it flicks out, but the Devil's outline is wavy and insubstantial and his first strike hits only air as does his second one.

Zane similarly found his mace confounded by the Devil's enchantment.

Delenn clearly on her last legs dribbles blood as she fumbles with her wand. After a moment she stammered out the command word but missed by several feet.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 1) = 7 <--- MISS

The devil also badly hurt suddenly surges forwards past Delenn and barks a harsh word before vanishing!

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"Ha!", spits the swordmage as he hears the fell beast utter a word of power. "The Nar-spawn is trying to hop away! To the Abyss with you!!!"

AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 29
DC 12 fortitude save or Red is fatigued for 3 rounds. Can't run or charge, -2 to dex and str (so basically, -1 to hit, damage and AC)

+1 bastard sword, swift smite, AoO: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 241d10 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 10 = 21

AOO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Zane swung hastily as the creature tried to make its escape, his arc again carrying plenty of power but little in the way of accuracy. His warrior friends seemed to have more luck with their strikes, however, and the priest held out hope the devil-thing would be stopped before it could gather reinforcements.

Miss Chance Ser Armithia: 1d100 ⇒ 48
Between Kardas and Ser Armithia the devil is cut down before it could escape!

Kardas resists the urge to spit on the Nar-spawn's remains and inhales deeply, counting to four before letting it all go. "For a moment there I thought the cunning bastard had us. Good save, whoever dispelled the darkness."

After having Delenn on his side in more than one combat, Kardas is having a hard time holding on to his earlier sentiments of resentment.

Se Armithia immediately takes up rear guard. The Paladin faces the direction of the hounds.

Zane breathed a quick sigh of relief before holding aloft his holy symbol and allowing the warmth of Lathander's grace to flow over the party, healing some of their wounds.

Channel Positive Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10

The priest then moved to Delenn's side, continuing to grasp the rosy disc as he spoke a quick prayer to the Morninglord, another personalized healing spell flowing into the elven wizardess. No matter what else she might be, the woman had proven her mettle in combat and her quick thinking had likely prevented far more injury in the fight with the hell-spawn.

CLW (drop Magic Weapon): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Afterwards, the young man glanced back towards where the group had come from before speaking, "Let's continue on and hope that creature was one of the last..." The cleric didn't believe it, but staying put wasn't really an option.

I will not be able to call upon Helm's Smite again this day.

The gold elf smiles.
But, yes, we should continue. We have His Ever-Watching Eyes to guide us!

The Paladin does take out the wand to top off healing.
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

He offers it to anyone else hurt.

Ishta grabs Delenn's arm immediately when she sees the demon exterminated. "Delenn! Are you alright?"

Ser Armithia who where you healing? Both yourself and Delenn have taken a battering.

Zane's healing magics bring back a hint of color into Delenn's cheeks, although she still looked pale and drawn and winced when she moved.

Softly she replied to Ishta, "I... I don't think I've been so close to the edge before. That monster's eyes where unsettling, the way it sneered as it stabbed me. I don't know if I shall ever sleep again." Understandably she seems really quite upset by the experience and is shaking softly.

After healing himself, the gold elf offers the wand to Delenn.

sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

I'm sorry that shook you so much Delenn. Let me cast Protection from Evil on you.

She reaches out to touch her (spell like ability, so don't actually need to cast), but pauses for permission. For all she knows, Delenn *is* evil even though she helped them, and she doesn't want to make things worse for her.
