1d100 ⇒ 58
Allegra doesn't take kindly to Zestclaw and simply lops her head off.
Theo still needs to give me a will save but Dervak has now joined this block and can act.
Shaken effect is gone.
Dervak |
Dervak takes a 5' step.
The fear dissipates as Allegra slaughters Chameleon Zestclaw.
The fatigue from the invisible witch remains, but he can power through it.
He begins by attacking the giant gnoll threatening Pocky.
Will use Destined Strike on the tertiary. If he drops Crackednail, any additional attacks go against Sweatteeth. He does threaten the second diagonal so can attack both from where he is.
Attack, Heroism, Fatigued: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 3 - 1 = 22
Using 1/rage Certain Strike to reroll that.
Attack, Heroism, Fatigued: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 3 - 1 = 30
Damage with Fatigued: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (4, 1) + 22 = 27
Secondary: 1d20 + 13 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 3 - 1 = 34
Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (3, 4) + 22 = 29
Confirm?: 1d20 + 13 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 3 - 1 = 24
Crit Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (2, 1) + 22 = 25
Tertiary, Destined Strike 1 of 5: 1d20 + 8 + 3 - 1 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 - 1 + 7 = 22
Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (1, 4) + 22 = 27
AC 35.
DM_Delmoth |
Sorry jumped the gun there Theo you still get an action on your turn, even though Mr. Tickles is committed to possession. This could mean you move and don't get possessed. Or something else.
Theophilus Carter |
Theophilus seems to have been distracted by how awesome Allegra just performed!
I feel like we should have brought more popcorn.
Theo reaches into a pocket to retrieve a handful of freshly popped popcorn...
Theo will then Evil Eye Hex Green again!
Will DC 23 -4 Attacks 2 rounds
He then Cackles.
Mr. Tickles joins forces with Theo...
I feel funny...
DM_Delmoth |
Dervak carves Crackednail up, but she still holds her ground, just barely.
The spear returns to Biting Lash's hand; she seethes with rage. After taking a deep breath she reassures herself,
Returning spear vs Dervak, human: 1d20 + 23 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 23 + 4 = 46
Confirm?: 1d20 + 23 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 23 + 4 = 33
Piercing, human: 1d8 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 4 = 17
She lodges the spear into Dervaks other shoulder.
Kahree charges Mara!

Talon vs Mara, human enough: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 4 = 38

Will vs Evil eye: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 4 = 29
Mara gets an AoO if she threatens

Pocky the Runt |
Weak from battle, surprised she’s still standing, Pocky contemplates how to get out of this alive without abandoning her teammates.
The looming giant will hurt Dervak or Allegra—but with the giant toppled, Allegra can get Biting Lash. As for the flying ones, surely they won’t desert their leader to chase a halfling who, as far as they know, will die from the fall.
This Sapphire ring and that demon are my escape.
“Allegra, in case these words are my last, kill the leader.”
Kick Green, Stunning Fist, Hero: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41

Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (4, 6, 5, 5) = 32
FLYING KICK Flying Demon, Hero: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Pocky doesn’t care if she hits the demon or not. As long as the demon and the hawk know to protect Biting Lash, they have no reason to chase me!

Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
DM_Delmoth |
Mara swats the eagle as it dives next to her.
Pocky quickly finishes off Crackednail with a one, two kick and then bravely runs away but gives the devil a parting kick as she falls safely to the courtyard. A number of surprised and confused slaves huddle against the walls.
The erinyes is mildly annoyed at Pocky's antics but doesn't let the brief pain bother her. Another wave of miasma springs up on the battlefield after a snap of her finger.
Unholy blight: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 4) = 18
Not evil eagle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
This tags Dervak, Mara, and Allegra. Theo's body is currently evil and unaffected. Dervak and Mara need to make a DC 19 will or take full damage and be sickened. Half damage if saved. Allegra takes half and can half it again on a successful save.
DM_Delmoth |
Its Sweatteeth's turn but she wants to see if anyone is sickened.
Dervak |
Will, Shake it Off +1: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 = 27
Dervak takes another 9 damage, but is not Sickened.

Mara resisted the unholy energy, throwing off the worst effects.
Pocky the Runt |
Pocky quietly assures the slaves, “Only Biting Lash and remains standing, and perhaps she has an invisible friend. I am badly hurt, but I am in the worst shape of our group. Surely Biting Lash already senses her defeat is inevitable.”
DM_Delmoth |
Sweatteeth tuts in disappointment while backing up a bit. She tosses a dried octopus tentacle near Allegra's feet . A disturbing number of tentacles erupts from the ground. They writhe and grab at you.
Grapple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 Doesn't get Dervak but gets Mr. Tickles and perhaps Allegra. If this beats your CMD you are grappled and take:
Hug damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I believe that black tentacles gets Allegra, she's at +1 for large, +1 dodge from haste, -dex/+str washes out, for 28 from her usual 26.
Allegra grunts in frustration and attempts to escape the tentacles that are holding her fast.
CMB, large, haste, divine favor: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 20

Seeing the tentacles grappled Allegra, Mara spoke a word of power to loosen their grip on the warrior woman.
Casting Liberating Command on Allegra as an immediate action. As an immediate action, Allegra can make an Escape Artist check with a +20 competence bonus. She would cast this as soon as Allegra was grappled.
Note: I had 9 temp hp recorded in my profile, but I don't remember where that come from. I deleted it and took 9 hp damage from the Unholy Blight.

Mara's intended target moved away, so she carefully moved away from the eagle and called out to the invisible spellcaster (who she could easily see), "Why do you even follow Biting Lash? Don't be such a sheep!" Then she intoned a prayer to match!
Casting Baleful Polymorpth (DC 23 Fort and possibly Will) to turn Sweetteeth into a sheep.

Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 "Bhaaaa!"

That was the spell that she was going to cast if Dervak or Allegra got sick.
DM_Delmoth |
Ci Ci's flash of radiance washes around the devil with no effect.
At the command of Mara, Allegra tears herself free of the rubbery tentacles.
Allegra and Theoticklus both have actions.
Allegra Gavrospex |
Allegra, hasted and airwalked, takes a move action to get her right up to Biting Lash, and just outside the grasping tentacles. She calls upon Torag to bless her axe as she moves. With the gnoll right at her feet, she swings down with a short two-handed chop.
Move Action, swift for Sacred Weapon, and standard to Vital Strike
Greataxe, Vital Strike, PA, divine Favor, Higher Ground, Sacred Weapon, Haste: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 34
Damage: 6d6 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 4, 5, 4) + 24 + 2 = 57
Cornugon Smash Intimidate: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 21 + 4 = 40
That is a crazy good damage roll
Theophilus Carter |
Mr. Tickles decides that being incorporeal is better than not being incorporeal. He shifts back to his incorporeal form.
Theo pops suddenly into his grappled body.
Ouch! Dirty trick!
The Witch then wonders about being incorporeal...

Dervak |
Dervak has taken quite a beating this fight. Allegra seems in position to stop Biting Lash from throwing her spear again (or at least punish her for doing so), but Cerise has had little luck stopping the Erinyes's repeated blasts of unholy power.
Dervak casts Fly and takes to the air to confront the devil.
If she moves back to 15' away and casts, he will use Pugnacious of course, and will get AOOs on both movement and casting.
Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (4, 2) + 22 = 28
AOO #2: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 18 + 3 - 1 = 35
Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (2, 1) + 22 = 25
AOO #3: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 3 - 1 = 30
Damage: 2d4 + 22 ⇒ (1, 3) + 22 = 26
AOO #4: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 3 - 1 = 21
DM_Delmoth |
Biting Lash hesitates asking,
Acro to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Concentration DC 34: 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 5 = 28
The devil flies away from Dervak but he surprises her with a few swift slashes of his falchion when she thought she was safe. The bloody and battered outsider still manages to fly.
Sweatteeth's eyes glow bright red followed by a sinister "Bhaaa!" in response.
Allegra needs to give me a Will save DC 19 or take a -4 to AC, attacks, and saving throws for 7 rounds. Success reduces this to 1 round. That's a nasty hex, probably should have used that earlier.
Bite, human enough vs Mara: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 = 28
Talon, human enough vs Mara: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 4 = 36

Piercing, human enough: 1d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 = 10
Piercing, human enough: 1d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 4 = 11
Biting Lash's eagle Kahree still harasses Mara. The eagle digs its talons and beak into the shaman's shoulder and face.
Spear, human, shaken, 1 vs Allegra: 1d20 + 23 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 23 + 4 - 2 = 39
Spear, human, shaken, 2 vs Allegra: 1d20 + 23 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 23 + 4 - 2 = 31
Spear, human, shaken, 3 vs Allegra: 1d20 + 18 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 4 - 2 = 36
Spear, human, shaken, 4 vs Allegra: 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 4 - 2 = 23
I think Allegra's AC is now 31
Stabbing Allegra, 1: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Stabbing Allegra, 2: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Stabbing Allegra, 3: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Biting Lash switches to a melee stance and furiously stabs the now cursed Allegra. Once in the stomach, and twice in each calf.
PCs go!

Mara still has concealment from Blur (20% miss chance). Does she get an AoO when the eagle entered her space again?
EDIT: I suppose it hovered into her space.
Mara decided it was time to do something about the annoying eagle. She hovered back slightly and set to work with her axe.
Greataxe, heroism, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 3 + 1 = 21

She called out to Biting Lash,
With +10 Fly and +5 for Overland Flight, Mara can't fail the DX 15 check to Hover.
DM_Delmoth |
Yes you get an AoO actually, because its a separate provoke for moving into someone's square, IIRC. But that doesn't matter much.
Ooops, I'm not used to attacking you.
Miss <20: 1d100 ⇒ 47
Miss <20: 1d100 ⇒ 20
Miss <20: 1d100 ⇒ 24

Mara swats the eagle out of the sky and it falls to its death.
Dervak |
Dervak continues to attack the fiend.

Allegra Gavrospex |
I'll use my 1/day lucky horseshoe bonus on this one.

AC is indeed 31 after the hex, defending bone reduces damage to 17, 13, 12 for -42 total. Swift action and a fervor to heal, then full attack at Biting Lash.

DM_Delmoth |
Dervak ends the erinyes and she pops back to Hell where she belongs.
Allegra swing the newly named Samantha, she cuts into Biting Lash's shoulder deeply and the gnoll crumples in pain. The gnoll still draws ragged breaths but doesn't otherwise move.
The invisible sheep, with her battle sisters defeated, jumps down into the courtyard. But she can't escape Dervak for long.
Dervak Will, just to speed things along: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Allegra can get an AoO if she can see invisibility. But otherwise the combat is over.
Dervak |
Dervak raises his bloody falchion and salutes Allegra's victory.
"GORUM IS PLEASED!"
Then he casts See Invisibility and, I assume, finishes off the witch.
Theophilus Carter |
Theo seems to be quite please by the outcome; although the constant squeezing and battering of the Black Tentacles seems to be sedating his true enthusiasm....
Mr. Tickles does seem to be enjoying the Witch's predicament.
Pocky the Runt |
Pocky returns, bloodied as hell. “Sorry for the flying leap. I anticipated you had things under control.”
She stands over Boomhand.
“I spared the monk. Her style is inferior to mine, which means I can handle her, and she knows it. Her choice is cooperation and atonement through servitude… or death.
“I think she can earn her right to live by successfully helping us move the slaves out without any other gnoll slavers or authorities making trouble for us.”

Dervak |
"No worries, Pocky. We had things in hand - well, Allegra mostly. And as to 'Boomhand', you certainly can, uh..."
What she describes is making the gnoll her thrall, just as an Ulfen would. Servitude for some fixed length of time as a punishment for a crime or as a consequence of being defeated in battle. It's not exactly like other kinds of slavery, and I suppose as a punishment for a crime Pocky sees it as okay...
"...you can decide her fate."
Dervak stands at the edge of the Black Tentacles and hacks to no effect.
"Hey, can anyone Dispel these things or do something else to free Theophilus?"
Pretty sure he has enough HP to withstand the full duration and not die, but why risk it?
"The Parchlands... I guess that is our next stop. By the name, we're going to have a use for this Decanter."

Pocky thanks Mara, and is relieved at Dervak’s approval of taking Boomhand alive. “It’s Boomhand’s choice as well. If any of you doubt her word to me, please warn me so I know to end her.
“I just couldn’t bring myself to kill her after the exhilaration of dodging her blows—all but one. It was weak… but in perfect form.” She looks down at the sleeping foe, and at the two giants who did not receive mercy. “I know I said all slavers must die… and maybe when she awakens, her words may confirm I had it right the first time.
“But I have to know… can a slaver be redeemed? Should it even matter, after how mistreated the people here clearly are?”
