They are in fact hovering

so the acid splash it is..

Swearing under her breath, Ishingka moves to keep up with Arileth.

Gaav 1
Gaav 2 -7 hp

The first gaav, unhappy with the presence of a new interloper goes to town on it with his claws.

2 claws vs elemental: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Meanwhile the one in front of Hali tries to take him down before he connects with the hammer.

Spear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The orcs stop what they're doing to confront Arileth and Ishingka

Adoration Will Save: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Orc Axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Orc Axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Missing totally.

Tae tries another acid splash at the gaav in front.

ranged touch to hit: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3
dmg if hits: 1d3 ⇒ 2

sigh

But sadly the aim is so bad, it barely misses his friend and hits the wall beside him.

"WAAAT!? Did ye think tha' woulda' hurt me? Try again!" he taunts the devil again before swinging back with his hammer.

Jag continues his recovery, finally getting a single good breath in, much to his relief.

Good to go next round.

Thael continues pelting the nearest devil with his magic missiles while his air elemental slams it from behind.

mm: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

slam, augment summoning: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 131d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Between Hali's mega-hammer and Thael's missile the first gave goes down and the second now realizes his predicament and get defensive.

Vegazi recovers from her condition and fires off a pair of silver tipped arrows, expertly able to avoid the cover problems

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Both arrows hit him on the devil, leaving it looking somewhat injured.

Gaav 2 -25 hp

Ishingka snarls at the orc in front of her. "Right where I want you, cousin."

She attacks in a blur of claws and tusks, hauling into the larger, more bestial humanoid with an unnatural fury.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
for: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
for: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Power Attack, Bless, Rage. I think that orc is dead...

Arileth dances around her orcish opponent's attacks. Seeing an opening, she swings at the orc, her slender longsword biting deeply into his side.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

HP 15/19, AC 13; bless, shield of faith +2 active; Adoration 2/6 uses today

Orc 2
Gaav 2 -25 hp

The remaining, Gaav, seeing the fight turning south flees out the window, flying further into the town. The Orc, seeing he is all alone, does likewise.

The kitchen is still on fire, but you as a group help put the fires out and by the time you peek outside to see what's going on, you see that the townsfolk have actually managed to drive the orc forces that Jag saw besetting the town off.

The town elders though all seem to be gathered in front of the mausoleum/Temple to Pharasma, having an animated discussion.

Tae, feeling a little depressed and useless, suggests, "Perhaps we should go over to where the town elders are talking, and speak with them."

Hali stomps past Tar and reaches the elders. "List'n here! I've done had enough o' that lot. I'm not leaving here until I've dealt with 'em."

After the fire is out, Thael watches the town elders assembling.

"Yes, we should go see how we might assist."

Arileth helps put the fire out. Afterward, she walks over toward the Temple of Pharasma. Nightshirt clinging to her as she goes, she keeps an eye out for wounded townsfolk who need their injuries treated.

As Tae, Hali and the others approach the elders look at you with relief " Oh thank goodness - the attacks are mostly over but the damnedest thing - some of the demons have gone into the crypt of the mausoleum."

The Red Archivist nods in agreement Indeed, it is common behavior for Devils like this to appear only on the orders of others. I at first feared it was the hellknights coming for me but that does not seem to be the case. They seem to be searching for...something. And I guess they think it's down in that mausoleum. If you could please go down there and take them out - without the scouting party we do not have the manpower or competent warriors to root them out. I know this is a lot to ask of strangers, but could you please?

For all intents and purposes, after another hour of rest you will be completing your "8 hours of rest" and regaining your resources.

"Aye, give me a bit longer to rest up and I'll be right at 'em again."

Arileth nods her agreement. "They've made themselves our foes as surely as they are yours. We'll see that they're dealt with- whatever it is they're after, it can't be something we want them to have."

The sweaty overweight mayor looks overjoyed to hear this and stations what few men he has to guard the front of the mausoleum until you are ready to go in.

If our casters want to re-prepare spells you can go ahead and do that now - I'll get the new map set up in the meantime.

"Can't it wait just a bit? I've just had my worst morning in at least a week," Jag tacks on, just now starting to get the filthy taste out of his mouth. "I mean, those things deserve a good punching, maybe two or three even, but can't we get some breakfast, first?"

Jag's in.

Ishinga appears to deflate, her talons dwindling to nothing, her muscles appearing to shrink.

"Since the town is impossible to defend, going on the offensive is a good idea," says the bloodrager with a fair degree of articulateness, considering she is streaked with fiendish gore.

She grins at Jag. "I could have two breakfasts at this point. Argh, that fight wore me out."

"Two breakfasts sounds wonderful!" says the halfling. "I could go for that too!"

I was just about to ask about spell replenishment, so glad we were able to rest!

Thael offers his services to the mayor without hesitation.

"Much hardship is happening in this town. I will do what I can to ameliorate the situation."

After resting and eating a breakfast (or two) out of still mostly usable tavern kitchen the group is able to get back on their feet and make their way to the mausoleum.

Outside the mausoleum, the cleric Ovid hands the party 5 special looking arrows outfitted with holy water canisters. These are called raining arrows. They ought to be quite effective against the kind of devils hanging out down there, go get em.

The mausoleum itself is impressive with big 15 foot tall pillars holding it up and some impressive architecture for such a small town.

As you make your way into the hallway a pile of boulders, broken rock, and rubble blocks the main passageway through the catacombs where the ceiling collapsed. On either side of the hallway, five-foot-wide passages lead into other areas.

Does the collapse look new?

"I guess we're goin' aroun' then."

rule of left, everyone?

btw, GM, how close are we to leveling up?

I am instructed to have you level after each 'part' and this is the last part of part 1

I'm no use for that skill check, unfortunately

You can roll the craft untrained and with a bonus from stonecunning unless you traded it away

traded it away. Can't do knowledge above DC10 but maybe the craft check...

Hali does have this though: Craftsman: Dwarves are known for their superior craftsmanship when it comes to metallurgy and stonework. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on all Craft or Profession checks related to metal or stone.

craft, untrained, craftsman: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Hali looks over the collapse. "This is an old collapse. I wonder... Ah, nev'rmin'. Le's be gettin' on." He moves to the doorway on the left.

Arileth follows after Hali, hand on the hilt of her sword as she inspects the corridor to the right.

In these catacombs there are funerary urns all bearing scratch marks, some knocked over. leading down further with another path leading deeper into the crypt

"This is foolish--we should have stocked up on something more than those five damn arrows," mutters Ishingka. "Do devils eat? Use a privy?"

She draws her hammers out of habit.

Arileth looks up and down the corridor. The elven cleric draws her sword and closes her eyes. Murmuring a short prayer, the blade begins to glow with a yellow light. She then proceeds further down the corridor.

As Arileth and Ishingka turn the corner they see more of those fleshy devil creatures opening up sarcophagi and a hell hound watching over them, which howls loudly as it sees you. Over in the corner, looking into a collapsed passageway is a wicked looking half orc tiefling who turns and sees you, producing her double axe.

Vegazi upon seeing her simply says Ogash... as her eyes get intense.

Taking the liberty of moving myself to the group.

"There's trouble, buddy," Jag calls back to Ussur, "are you gonna help this time? The town needs us!" he argues to the bear, almost pleading. "Besides, they gave us breakfast, we pretty much have to fight now," Jag continues, signalling Ussur to follow him.

Handle Animal Command: Follow
Jag and Ussur each double-move

Ishingka moves up, her hammer covering the area. "Come and get me, fiends. JAG! ARILETH! Buff and fire around me! They won't get past me."

Not taking Total Defense--instead, I'll go for the AoO if they come.

Arileth moves up behind Ishingka, lightly touching the half-orc on the shoulder and intoning a benediction upon her. "Calistria grant that you strike true in your fury," she says.

Bit of luck on Ishingka. For the next round, any time Ishingka rolls a d20, she may roll twice and take the more favorable result.

Bit of luck 1/6

Thael advances as quickly as he can, surveying the creatures as he moves.

Double move

knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, local, nature, planes): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 Looking for 1) vulnerabilities 2) immunities 3) special abilities

Thael recognizes the blobs from before, so he merely attempts to identify the fiery looking dog, but fails to

Vegazi comes out of the crypt and into the hallway and seems to be waiting for something as she draws her bow.

the dog rounds the corner and breathes fire on Ishingka and Arileth

Fire Breath (DC 16 Reflex for half) and recharge: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 32d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

At the same time, Vegazi lets loose one of the holy water arrows she was given at the hound

Point Blank Shot, Raining arrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d8 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2, 4) = 13

I think in general it is safe to say the party will move through the rooms together. I know in Hali's case he would have been right there with Ishingka and Arileth, so I moved him up some.

Hali charges the hellhound, warhammer held high.

warhammer, attack, charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 for bludgeoning, silvered: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

-Posted with Wayfinder

I think Hali should have moved to protect Arileth instead, but I don't think it is fair for me to change it now that I have seen the roll.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Arileth manages to dance to the side of the majority of the hellhound's breath.

Reflex: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + (3) = 22

HP 18/19

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Hey, GM, Ishingka has a reach weapon, so she should get an AoO on the hellhound before he(?) breathes. If so...

AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
for: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Choke on this, dogslobber," she snarls at the beast, hammer held defensively for a mighty swing.

Don't forget Bit of luck, Ishingka. Works on all d20 rolls, AoOs included.

Also reflex saves

Oi, I think I hit, though.

Ishingka connects with the Dog before it breathes and hurts him a bit.
