A bit surprised by the speed of the dog-beasts, Orin recovers and steps to his right. Keeping hid shield up, he strikes out at the creature.

Kaede:
As you bring your glaive arcing gracefully around towards the barghest you feel an unusual resonance of power between your self and your weapon. The sensation is similar to when you use the power of your mark, but it clearly involves your glaive in an atypical way.

To your pleasant surprise, your attack seems to have been fully effective despite Tera's warning about needing magical weapons.


Tera:
As you thrust your rapier into the barghest, you feel a divine power move through you. It reminds you of the feeling you got when you blessed your friends by Erastil's strength, except that this time the power seems to settle in your blade.

To your pleasant surprise, your attack seems to have been fully effective despite Tera's warning about needing magical weapons.

GM - Add any penalties for cover as you see fit...

Oliver and Zache delay.

Kaelaah moves into the room (because there was no LoS from the hall) and blasts the barghest that Sal stuck and Orin missed. Fighting alone, for the moment, Kaede also wounds the other barghest.

Kaelaah:
As the searing power of your flames passes from your hand though the cestus and out across the chamber, you feel another power moving as well. A soft, warm power like the morning sun on your skin. It seems resonate between you and your new weapon somehow...

Sister Amet'Ra raises her holy symbol and declares, "back to the Abyss, foul creatures!" A wave of pure white flame burst from her body, passing harmlessly through the marked and their companions but searing the barghests and the winged man.

***round 1, group C***
The winged man sneers as bizarre runes apparently scarred into his wings momentarily smoulder from the priestess' power. Fixing his gaze on Orin, he suggests, "You could use help in a situation like this... you should run and go get help!"
Orin- DC 18 Will save or you have to immediately run back to Sandpoint to fetch help...

Round 1, group D (Oliver, Zache, and Marcus) is up...

Marcus boldly steps up to p16 and sets his sights on the naked man. With a steely gaze that looks comical to the young boy, he just stares at winged foe.

If the man speaks again, Marcus will blast him with a stormburst.

Zache begins singing a silly song about a man who 'takes his snake for walk' with disastrous results. activating inspire courage, every remember the bonus

Oliver launches an arrow at the winged man.

Though it finds its mark, the attack seems not to do any real harm.

***round 2, group A***
The barghest facing Sal and Orin, and which Kaelaah blasted, is looking a bit worse for the wear... still, it snarls and unleashes a flurry of claws and teeth against it's foes.
bite vs Sal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11, for: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

claw vs Orin: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16, for: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Sal- the bite is so wild that it provokes an AoO from you...

Meanwhile, the other barghest, not as badly wounded, has only Kaede to direct its attacks against...
bite vs Kaede: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24, for: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 2, group B (Tera, Kaede, Sal, and Kaelaah) are up, plus Orin can post his own departure.

Though she suffers a painful swipe from one of the barghest's claws Sal is able to slide her blade into the creature amid its frenzied attacks. She then attempts to follow it up with another strike, hoping to finish the creature off.

After his grand entrance, Orin knows he need to follow it up with a bold move. In a stroke of brilliance, he decides that going for help will be the wisest course of action. With re-enforcements, the group can have the battle in hand in no time.

With a dash, he bolts out the door, yelling the new plan as he goes.
"Hang in there friends! I'll be back in a flash with troops from the garrison!"

heard from the hallway:
"Sheriff Hemlock! Sheriff Hemlock! Sheriff Hemlock! Sheriff Hemloooooooooock!"


map of Sandpoint | current map

Both of Sal's expertly placed thrusts bite into the barghest's tough flesh and after the second one the creature crumples to the floor. The winged man starts to scowl for the briefest moment before Orin's exit brings a wicked grin back to his well-shaped mouth.

Tera begins muttering the words to a spell as she runs a hand over her bow. Glowing runes flare to life along the wood. That done, she nocks an arrow on the string.

"Sal, can you help Kaede," she asks before drawing and taking aim at the fiend.

Casting Gravity Bow on her bow.

Kaede hisses in pain at the barghest tears into her, but beyond that, she doesn't flinch from the beast. With a whispered,"Rose guide me," Kaede returns the attack in kind. She drives the blade deeper toward the beast, letting the blade do most of the talking for her.

Tera:
As your magic rushes into your bow, you sense something else moving with it... a divine energy, not quite like the spells you've recently mastered--more akin to power of your mark, seems to hum between your hand and your bow...

Kaede buries her glaive in the creature which had so efficiently torn into her, but it's not enough to put the creature down.

That just leaves Kaelaah (who, in fairness, still has like 14 or so hours in the 24 hour window)


Shoanti Marked of Sarenrae; HP 40/40 4NL, AC16 T13 FF13, Saves: F+9, R+8, W+4, Initiative +3, Perception +9

Feeling strangely empowered, his flames burning with a purity now, Kaelaah channels his fire at sister Mayumi's attacker...

Kaelaah, Fire Blast (Ranged Touch, Elemental Overflow, Point Blank, Bless) vs Barghest fighting Kaede: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17 for 2d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 11 fire damage

GM - Add any penalties for cover as you see fit...

Kael- sorry, not sure how you got dropped from the map but you're back now.

Kaelaah's blast singes the other barghest and leaves the creature unsteady on its feet. Sensing the creature's weakness, Sister Amet'Ra steps unscathed through the low fire dividing the room and releases another burst of white flame.
alignment channel: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5) = 9
saves: 2d20 ⇒ (5, 11) = 16
The holy energy finishes off the wounded barghest and and causes the winged man's scars to smoulder once more.

***Round 2, Group C***
Now clearly displeased, the beautiful horned-man focuses once more on the intruders. A wave of palpable despair rolls out from him across the room as he declares, "You will bow to me, if not by seduction then by fear!" Before his sentence is even complete, Marcus responds by conjuring a dark storm cloud around him, but it does nothing to stop the emotional tide.
I need a DC 19 Will save (vs compulsion) from everyone or else take -2 to all attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.

@Marcus- I think you were trying to interrupt casting... sorry, it was a spell-like ability (no verbal, somatic, or material components) so you didn't blast him until after it was already 'cast'. However...

Marcus:
As you manifest what you are coming to understand as the power of your mark, you feel a strange sort of echo between your hand and your spear... almost as if some kind of divine power were binding you together...

Round 2, group D (Zache, Oliver, and Marcus) is up to finish off the round.

Feeling the blows rain in on those around him, Marcus winces in pain. Focusing his magics on ensuring he can continue to aid his friends, the young fisherman closes he own wounds.

Tera barely has any time to ponder the significance of the feeling she has when the fiend speaks up. She looks up to shoot back a quip, but pales as she sees how enraged this being is. Goblins were one thing, but this was something else. Tera shrinks back, her eyes widening as they fix on the fiend's as she begins to mutter to herself.

"No. He... He can't... He can't do that! He can't!"

Will (DC 19): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Sal quails at the man's commanding words, shaking, her earlier bravado and defiance nowhere to be seen.

He's not afraid of us at all..!

And that scared her more than the goblins or the yeth hounds or nearly anything else they'd faced.

Zache finishes his poem with a short, sharp bow in Tera's direction, and the joking end to the innuendo-filled story bolsters her.

Casting saving finale as an immediate action, allowing Tera to reroll her failed saving throw.

And then, spinning a starknife across his knuckles, he opens another poem.

"Fear not the beast on cloven hoof
Who speaks in honeyed lies,"
he begins, blades flashing in the light from Sister Amet'Ra's holy fire.

Aaaaaaaand starting that performance again!

@Kaede- despite its name (and my flavor text) crushing despair is not a fear effect.

Round 2, group D: Oliver delays

Zache:
As your performance resumes, you feel a divine warmth similar to when you use the power of you mark... it seems almost to hum between your right hand and the masterwork starknife it holds, though you can't hear any actual tone. Then the starknife in your left hand begins to buzz as well. This time there is no resonance with your hand, instead it seems to be some sort of echo between the knives...

Round 3, group A: all dead

Round 3, group B (Kaede, Kaelaah, Tera, Salomae, and Oliver) is up. The map should be up to date, I think.

Tera feels a little better after hearing Zache's bawdy poem, but she's still quite shaken, and her hands refuse to stay still as she takes aim. the arrow flies wide of the mark, clattering uselessly off the stone.

With the barghest down and Marcus's attention healing most the pain away from the strikes she took, Kaede focuses on the winged man. She slips around the bank of fire and taps at her glaive's blade. "My lady, please bless my blade," she whispers, as the darkened blade begins to grow a brilliant white.

Though she still feels a cold knot of fear inside, Sal tries to rally as she sees Kaede and even Tera shift their focus to the strange winged man. If they could do it, so could she!

She maneuvers her way around the flames toward the man, eyeing him warily as she approaches.

Come on...you've got a weak spot somewhere...

Kaelaah stands proud... stoic in the face of the attempts to subdue the chosen of Sandpoint.

...but his flames falter at the wrong moment, flickering briefly to a flash of cold light before the heat returns...

Oliver fires another arrow at the winged man but once again it proves ineffective, just as Kaelaah's flame narrowly misses.

Seeing Sal and Kaede moving in on the handsome demon, Sister Amet'Ra steps up to engage him as well. Once again she channels the pure white flames but this time rather than emanating from her they coalesce around her scimitar as she slashes at him.

Unfortunately, her blade skitters across the tough, scarred surface of his wing with no apparent effect.

***Round 3, Group C***
The beautiful horned-man's grin almost fades as the priestess' glowing blade whistles towards him but it returns quickly as her attack proves ineffective. "Very well," he growls in his pleasing baritone voice, "you first." From the edge of the low dais, he punches at the priestess with each of his hands.

Zache, Kaede and Sal are within 5 of max, so lifelink does not trigger this round.

Seeing Sister Amet'Ra being pummeled by the winged man, Marcus tries to move to ward her. The ache in his leg keeps him from getting very far, and as he moves around the fires, he closes some of his own wounds.

Tera feels very small as she sees Sister Amet'ra get pummeled.

"He's too strong for us. He's too strong," she whimpers as she draws another arrow as if to deny her words and her fear.

no worries, Tera. There’s no enemies separating the two groups of PCs anymore... I’d been keeping them distinct just to make it easier to count rounds of duration on buffs, but for expedience sake I’m going to combine them... so all the PCs are up now (except Marcus who already acted in this block.

Kaede twirls her glaive up and out as she takes a step forward. With one last tug to wrap her partner with another level of the Rose's blessing, Kaede stabs at the winged man. "No, Tera," she firmly says, "He is not."

Damage (Gravity Bow, PBS, Inspire Courage, Crushing Despair): 2d6 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 1 + 1 - 2 = 6

Tera lets fly the arrow as Kaede responds to her. The arrow is far more accurate this time. Still, she feels the keen fear and the shadow of defeat. They can't win. They can't! She wants to run and hide in a small hole, but loyalty and a stubborn sense of pride keep her there and fighting.

So what if this thing was stronger than them, a small, yet defiant part of her thought. She would not give it the satisfaction of dragging her whimpering and weeping from her hiding place. If it wanted her, it was going to go through a hail of arrows and spells first.

"H-Hey! Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not very nice to hit a lady?" Sal calls at the 'man' as she moves around Sister Amet'Ra to strike at him, trying to ignore another surge of fear as she does.

"For venom drips from forke'd tongue,
And fire burns in his eyes,"
Zache continues, glancing around the room. Taking a deep breath, he sprints around the wall of flame and closes the distance to the creature, slicing out at his ribs as he mounts the dais.

However, he overestimates his balance and has to correct himself against the wall.

This time, having seen his Sarenrite mentor attacked, Kaelaah's flames burn white hot...

Oliver delays

Kaede opens a long gash across the sinister, beautiful creature's leathery wing with her glowing glaive. He grits his teeth and growls in response, but his clenched jaw quickly loosens as a mocking grin taunts Tera, Sal, and Zache while their weapons bounce ineffectively off him. Kaelaah's flame hits him squarely in the upper chest but most of the fire dissipates without doing nearly as much damage as the Shoanti had hoped.

Sister Amet'Ra does not falter, despite the two solid blows she received. Channeling white flame into her blade once more, she gracefully slashes at the handsome demon again.

demon save: 1d20 ⇒ 7
This time she too opens a deep wound and the demon's face twists into a snarl of rage.

***Round 4, group C***
The demon continues his flurry of punches at the Sarenite priestess...

The map should be up to date, PCs are all up.

"Fear not the truths he claims to tell,
Or falsehoods that he plies,"
Zache continues, gritting his teeth and swinging again. It's another wild swing, as his concern for Sister Amet'Ra drags his arm, but he draws his second kife from his belt, ready for more.

Masterwork starknife: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14

And continuing to inspire courage!

Calling on Gozreh to close her wounds, he lightly touches her back.

"You're outnumbered! Give up and we'll give you a quick sendoff," Sal manages to call out as she tries to strike at the man once again.

Tera whimpers in fear as she draws her bow back once more. She takes aim and lets fly just wanting this thing to be gone!

Attack (Gravity Bow, PBS, Inspire Courage, Crushing Despair): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 18

The arrow shatters uselessly against the monster's skin. Terror grips her she only wants to flee. Slowly, she moves back, past Kaelaah and next to Oliver. Abadar has the strength to squash that leering face, but Tera knows in her heart that she does not. She never will. Her heart flutters in near-panic as tears well up in her eyes.

Moving to P13.

Kaede's eyes narrow as everyone else swarms around the man, leaving her without an easy line to attack. Desperately, she dives behind Sal and Amet'Ra to the closest point to attack from, and swings her blade at the man.

There were always going to be creatures who felt no ill effect from the shoanti's flame... or worse still, might even benefit from his searing flames... but this is all the young Sarenrite had - and so, trusting his brethren to finish the task with their cold steel, he continues to fling fire at his foe.

Oliver briefly sucks his teeth as Tera trepidatiously backs up to him. Placing on hand on her shoulder, he softly but sternly offers, "arrows are not doing very much right now, I know. I do not have much choice, really, but you do. The gods have given you magic and even blessed you with some kind of wand; get back in there and use those gifts."

Sister Amet'Ra frowns slightly as the tide of combat shifts once again- Tera, Kaede, and Zache all missing while Sal and Kaelaah hit for relatively small amounts of damage. As Marcus' healing power moves through the priestess, she steps back and begins to cast a spell; her appearance takes on a somewhat angelic quality and a palpable aura of righteousness seems to emanate from her.

DC 18 spellcraft:
The Sarenite cast archon's aura which, if its effective, should cause a similar condition in the demon to what Tera and others are experiencing.

***Round 5, group C***
Deprived of his original target, and clever enough not to step directly between Sal and Kaede, the demon turns his attention to the Erastilian as his blood drips down her narrow blade.

Not wanting to leave Zache on his own against the devil-man Sal grits her teeth and continues to fight on, hoping that someone can strike a decisive blow.

lifelink shifts 5 of Sal's damage to Marcus (current hp34)

Seeing Sister Amet'Ra attack the man with magic emboldens Marcus to do the same. With a quick incantation, concluding it by yelling "Drop now! Drop to the ground!"

Amet'Ra's retreat is perfectly opportune for Kaede. The Tien Priestess slides swiftly into the vacant spot before going to strike at the man with both ends of the glaive, as she's done many times before.

Tera nearly jumps out of her skin when Oliver touches her shoulder, but she doesn't bolt. Trembling with fear, she gets the words of a spell out and two golden bolts streak from her outstretched hands towards the fiend.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7

Wow, Tera's going to be pretty rattled after this fight, especially if this thing has Spell Resistance.
