Tae moves up to get cover behind some rocks and fires an arrow at Kelseph.

to hit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12
dmg if hits: 1d6 ⇒ 6

but he's too focused on defense to get a good bead on her.

Ishingka trots towards the other set of steps, then activates her bloodrage, her muscles swelling and thickening and talons sprouting from her fingers, but she keeps a grip on her hammer. She grumbles something in a low voice.

Activating Shield as well.

The woman shuffles back and cackles as ravens once more emerge from the flames and begin to swirl before taking direct aim at Ishingka calling her in orcish a "vile mongrel of the worst sort"

Rapidshot/deadly aim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Rapidshot/deadly aim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Rapidshot/deadly aim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

However with her new energy shield protecting her the arrows plink off it harmlessly.

In no mood to give whatever devil this is any kind of sacrifice, Hali barrels up the stairs and tries to knock the Archer out of the circle.

AC is effectively 2 higher against evil right now, although the penalty for charging probably cancels that out right now

that should be a pretty good bull rush hit! He is not afraid to keep pushing her those bonus feet, right up to the edge of the cliff. I doubt it's *that* good a CMB roll though

Jag runs up towards Hali and Kelesph, ready to dodge arrows and punch faces.

Martial Flexibility for Deflect Arrows, Move action to approach.

Arileth follows after Ishingka, pausing long enough to snap off an arrow from her longbow at Kelseph.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
1d8 ⇒ 3

Arileth's strike hit true on the woman as she is bowled back by Hali, but not by nearly as much as he had hoped.

She spits with rage "You shall not thwart me now"

Now that she's in melee, he knows his chances to hit her are much diminished, so Tae begins casting a spell instead.

Hoping to end things quickly, Thael casts glitterdust from his place behind the rocks.

did she and Hali move at all? The look to me like they're still in their original position

Ishingka moves up and swings her hammer at 'Mother'.

Hammer, Bless, Arcane Strike, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
damage, Arcane Strike, Power Attack: 1d12 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Current AC due to Shield and Haste is 20, Saves are F +12, Ref +8, Will +8 due to Bless and Prot. from Evil, and Align Weapon is on the hammer.

I moved them both the single square that they moved

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

The flashbang hits the mother's eyes and she is blinded and begins to fumble around.

This allows Ishingka to hit the woman...hard

She tries to back away from Hali and Ishingka, but is blind and thus cannot 5 foot step very well and provokes from both

...and let's just see if she's even still alive after.

Hali and Ishingka go!

Hali swings at her as she tries to step away.

Ishingka flips her hammer at 'Mother' with a contemptuous backhanded swing.

With the crack of Hali and Ishingka's hammers, the mothers skull cracks open and her eyes go dim and she falls over. He black bow, an obvious relic of some sort, clangs on the floor at Hali and Ishingka's feet.

Her blood fills the sigil and a black winged creature who is impossibly beautiful - a type of devil known as an Erinyes flies down. She looks down at you pitifully and shakes her head. " I see that you did not bring the sacrifice - I suppose I will have to go collect her - at that pitiful little town"

The creature begins to fly at a quick clip towards the town.

dangit! I was trying to avoid that...

with 2 minutes of a move speed of 80 and 3-18 minutes of a move speed of 50, do you think Hali can beat her back to town?

-Posted with Wayfinder

does she not appear within our reach? If she does, does flying away provoke? Where does she fall in initiative order?

-Posted with Wayfinder

acquiring that bow was one of the reasons Hali came to the region, but his base bonus with it will only be +5. Can anyone else use it better to try to shoot her down

-Posted with Wayfinder

well technically, Tae is +7 base with missile weapons, but would be a penalty for using a large weapon when he's so small, so he can't use it effectively, so I probably can't use it better, plus would take a round to hand it off giving her more of a lead.

Arileth would be at a +5 as well.

Arileth hustles up to the fallen orc. Once closer, assuming the erinyes has flown off already, she murmurs a cantrip and attempts to identify the black bow.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29

She was out of reach to begin with yes. She would have fallen at 0 - but I am relaxing initiative order for the sake of just smoothly presenting this

Arileth quickly identifies the bow as an angelfall bow. (+1 composite long bow with a +5 Str Rating, 3/day you can whisper a command word and cause a flying creature to plummet from the sky)

Hali and Tae both estimate if they pick up the bow, they might be able to get off a round of shots or two before she is out of reach - you have pretty good vision up here since its the sole peak in the fields that lay between Arwyll's Stead and here.

Also as a magical bow, it would resize for Tae

I thought weapons and armor don't resize... just everything else... but if it would resize in your game, or if he just knows the command word, Tae would pick it up and use it immediately

we're kind of rule of cooling this ending anyway, so

Tae grabs the bow and pulls one of his arrows taking aim at the Erinyes

It is just a touch too heavy for him, but he tries anyway.

The arrow releases wobbling a bit but connecting, just barely with the devil and watches as she plummets from the sky and pierced up a sharp rock on the side of the mountain, letting out a terrible death cry.

The clouds that had been hanging over the area since your arrival finally part and the group has a clear path to return to Arwyll's Stead.

that's an incredible bow!

Hali lets out a cheer and slaps Tae on the back.

"Calistria's Kiss!" Arileth exclaims, watching the erinyes plummet. "I think you killed her, Tae."

"Great shot, Tae! That was one in a million!" Ishingka cheers.

Tae stares at the falling devil... then at the bow in his hands... in total bewildered wonderment.... "That... that... worked?" He gives a sort of twisted little smile as the others react... Finally, something I did worked? "Are we.. done? I'm so tired of all this fighting. I think I just want to find a small halfling village where nothing more exciting happens than the occasional birth of twins... and retire."

And with that, you arrive back in Arwyll's stead.

In your absence, Vegazi organized the town's defenses and valiantly protected the town from a last gasp assault by gaav devils. They have taken her in as a town hero for a new era.

You are offered unfettered access to the archives Ishingka, Hali and Arileth originally came for and are able to effortlessly retrieve what you came for.

"Hah!" Jag echoes the exclamations of victory and relief. "Though I've never seen twins," he suggests to Tae, tone and context shifting instantly. "Have a village in mind?"

"Well, I was kind of raised on the road as my folks were traveling merchants, but I recall one village we went through two or three times a year. It was called Horvath's Hollow. Mostly halflings as I recall, and quiet. Not much happened there. In fact our arrival with a cart full of goods from the city was a major event. I think I'd like to go back there... or someplace like it. We'll see."

Ishingka nudges Arileth. "I think Jag means a different kind of twins," she says with a chuckle. "Hey! Beastmaster! Don't you need a new animal friend before you start chasing twin halfling ladies?"

"I'm not sure Ussur is replaceable," Jag states, enthusiasm dulling, but only a little. "But time will tell." His smile comes back instantly. "And isn't it always a good time to chase twin halfling ladies?"

"I like 'em a little taller," says Ishingka, grinning and towering over the gnome.

"oh! You mean..."

tae blushes.

Arileth snickers. "I don't know. They're about the right height...." The Calistrian cleric gets a dreamy, faraway look on her face for a moment, a smile forming on her lips. After a moment, she snaps out of it and adds, "Just make sure they don't mind sharing. And if they do, I know a few spells...."

"You...with the exception of Tae...are all disgusting." Ishingka holds a stern orcish glare for a moment, then bursts out laughing. "What do you say we have a pint or two with Vegazi, the Hero of Arwyll's Stead? Lord of Laughter, she had better be happy after all this!"

Arileth doesn't buy the orcish glare for a moment. "Come on now, you can't tell me you didn't enjoy that romp four towns back. You know, the one with the well-endowed gnomish mayor with the two daughters. The one who claimed to have a lot of human blood a few generations back?" she says, smirking. "I mean, he was awfully tall...."

Hali frowns and reddens at the conversation, his face seeming to sink into his beard as it progresses. He cheers up at the idea of drinking. "Aye! A pint would be grand right about now!"

I need to clean up my threads...dotting to hide this one. Thanks again!
