DM Pendin Fust Wrath of the Righteous - Group B (Inactive)

Game Master theheadkase

As Bastion opens the door, you are greeted with the sight of the gargoyle that fled and this creature...

It looks up at you, eyes full of hatred, and says in the common tongue "You must be what this weak statue told me of. Surrender or become one of my ghouls." Finishing that sentence...he reaches out and grabs the gargoyle by the throat, flexes, and crushes the neck.

Kn Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Never demon. We will rid you from this shrine, and restore it in Iomedae's name. You will die by the Glory of the Inheritor this day, foul one. You will be cast back to the primordial sludge that spawned your kind and my ancestral lands will be reclaimed."

"Right! What he said!"

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Arc will cast a DC 19 glitterdust onto the thing trying to blind it on his turn.

Travelling for an interview, please everyone roll init. Arc, you know that this creature is half demonic, a half-nabasu to be specific. You also know this particular one is dedicated to some demonic deity...

Nulkineth Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Good luck!

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 That thing is a fiend, a half-nabasu if I am not mistaken. I recommend cold iron weapons on general principle. You can be sure it is quite dangerous. He then uses a mythic point to cast what is in effect a heightened Glitterdust to try to blind it. DC19 Will save or blind. No SR. If blinded he may try to re-save each round. After casting he will move back 30' to try to get out of range and line of sight for whatever it might have in store for the group.

Not sure what specifically he might know about this thing's offenses and defenses. Note a full Nabasu would be quite a challenge for a level 4 party. I recommend we treat this like a boss fight. :)

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Got the job! Hooray for employment!

Group Alpha - Arc, Nulkineth
Group Beta - Cassandra, Paritosh, Bastion

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Nulkineth roars as the sparkling motes attack his sight. He spreads his bat-like wings and rockets upwards 60 feet, while spewing forth something in a profane sounding language.

[/spoiler=Abyssal]"Ghouls! Defend me while I regain my sight!"[/spoiler]

Suddenly, several feral shrieks come from all around the doorways in the courtyard.

Group Beta - Cassandra, Paritosh, Bastion, Ghouls (6)

Congratz!!

Kn Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Understanding Abyssal Sir Bastion yells out a warning, "The creature summons its ghoul minions."

Reminder to all, Bless is still in affect the group, and Magic Weapon is still affecting Paritosh's weapon.

----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); magic weapon (Paritosh), 3 min; bless, 6 rds (Party); comprehend language (self), 30 min;

Paritosh will move forward and attack the nearest ghoul, and use a surge.

Cold Iron Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (1) = 20
Cold Iron Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

I'm not interested in charging and tanking my AC, ghouls can be nasty, but I will use this surge thingy!

Paritosh, did you add +1 to damage from the Magic Weapon spell

Nope, nor to the to hit roll.

I did not mention the To Hit, as I thought your weapon was MW.

Too right!

Cassandra casts Burst of Radiance, nailing Nulkineth with her magic.

I'd prefer to delay my action until after him because there is little point overlapping blind rounds. Besides, in an area this big, and in the position we are all in, there's not much I can actually do atm.[/ooc[

[ooc]DC 16 Reflex Save. If they fail it, they are blinded for 1d4 rounds, and if they make it, they are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 2) = 10

Sir Bastion follows Paritosh into the courtyard, and says a prayer to his goddess.

"Iomedae, protect your servant from the chaos of these vile creatures."

Cast protection from chaos on Sir Bastion

Current AC vs Chaotic Creatures 22/13/21

"Come to me minions of the Abyss. Let my sword show you the way back ." He taunts the ghouls, Radiance held at the ready for impending attacks.

I also moved Paritosh into the courtyard and to the closest ghoul.

Arc moves up behind Sir bastion and touches him using Diviner's Fortune, giving him a +2 insight bonus on all attacks, skill checks ability checks and saves for 1 round.

So Arc brought up some good points, and after a little discussion I'm going with his thoughts. Nulkineth is only 30 ft in the air using a full-round action to fly up while blinded. If that changes anyone's action let me know and I'll accommodate.

Will Save #2 vs. Glitterdust: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Ok, no longer blinded.

Nulkineth ponders for a brief moment then points to some mossy green outgrowth on the ground. Suddenly, all sounds stop, an implosion of quietness permeates the air.

Reflex to avoid Cassandra's spell: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4 and blinded again!

Group Beta PC's then the ghouls.

Again?

Yeah, Arc blinded him, then he saved on his 2nd round, then Cassandra just blinded him.

Spellcraft to identify spell: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Well that is not high enough.

Sir Bastion moves toward the ghouls to the south, trying to find the edge of the silence effect. When not found right way, he readies himself for the ghouls attack.

Move to new spot, Standard to Ready to Attack the first ghoul to come within reach.

Readied Attack, Radiance, Bless, Diviner's Fortune, Surge: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 2 + (2) = 16
Damage, Radiance, cold iron: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I am expecting the two ghouls to attack, so I'll knock out a couple of saves in case the first hits.
Fort, diviner's fortune: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Fort, diviner's fortune: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20

----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); magic weapon (Paritosh), 3 min; bless, 4 rds (Party); comprehend language (self), 30 min; protection from chaos (self), 4 min;

Paritosh will keep swinging and use my last surge.

Cold Iron Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + (6) = 18
Cold Iron Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13

Sorry gang, lost track of days (for real).

Paritosh and Bastion both strike down a foul ghoul. Two others lurch towards him while the rest position themselves.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Nulkineth roars again and flies further up into the air.

Some how I was outside of the silence area on the map. I placed Sir Bastion back within the silence at the position I had moved earlier.

Okie dokie folks! Back home! So I think I'm waiting for everyone to have a go. Nulkineth is blind and hovering.

Sir Bastion continues to move forward, seeking the edge of the silence. Finding it he calls to his goddess to grant her divine favor upon him.

Move 10'. 1 Mythic Point for Inspired Spell, Cast divine favor.

Reminder for everyone, bless is still in effect for 3 rds and Paritosh has magic weapon.

Arc moves down to support Bastion. A single move gets him out of the silence and he begins a summoning spell.

I want to point out that at 4th level there not a real way for any of us to be able to fly. The game tries to make it so that you have to be 5th level in order to have any chance to fly. This is one of the impacts to being lower level than the encounter planned for. I am not complaining, only pointing out that there is really no chance that any of us could fly. Arc has almost no spells that can effect the demon. He will do what he can.

Paritosh will keep swinging, it appears two are next to him.

Cold Iron Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
Cold Iron Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13

You are correct Arc, but the encounter itself is still only hard as opposed to deadly. I can think of a few tactics that will force the flying guy to be vulnerable to attacks...

Paritosh mows down yet another ghoul.

The second ghoul swipes at him.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Its teeth and left hand miss, but the foul right hand connects with Partiosh's skin.

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

DC 13 Fort save or suffer paralysis for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds.

The two ghouls near Bastion charge and swipe at him.

Charging Claw Ghoul 1: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
Charging Flanking Claw Ghoul 1: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 17

Both surrounding him, his armor proves too much for their claws.

Will Save Nulkineth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Nulkineth hovers where he is, still pawing at his eyes.

Everyone up again.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Paritosh will keep swinging at the last one next to him..

Cold Iron Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23
Cold Iron Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9

Wouldn't the ghoul near Arc, have to of moved through a threatened square to get to that position if they charged?

Sir Bastion swings Radiance at the charging ghoul...

AoO
Radiance, Bless, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 9
Dmg, Radiance, Divine Favor, Cold Iron: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

But their quickness, causes him to underestimate their final location.

Gathering his wits after their charge, Sir Bastion focuses his attacks on the ghoul threatening Arc.

Radiance, Bless, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 16
Dmg, Radiance, Divine Favor, Cold Iron: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
