Dungeon Master S's "Curse of the Crimson Throne" (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

As the party rises into the room it all comes down to this. From humble beginnings investigating a stolen Harrow Deck to haunted castles, it comes down to this.

The party triggers some kind of alarm that didn't go off last time. The orb of blood burts! Now with the horrors made real before you you understand that this is the end. Your eyes draw first to the queen's guard. It's a legless, winged, white-eyed dragon, covered in patches of diseased flesh, squirming with maggots and oozing pus.

The queen's voice comes at you from all sides. Somehow the queen is not one, but Legion! There are SEVEN Ileosa about the room, all identical. All their faces twisted in rage.

As if that wasn't bad enough, from over the shoulder of the Evil Odric stands a figure that alone would seem like a challenge. Ash and embers encrust the smoldering humanoid frame of this imperious, dragon-winged devil.

The Seven Ileosas: 7d20 ⇒ (17, 20, 5, 9, 6, 19, 19) = 95

Round 1 Team Ranger

The ranger calmly breathes as he rides the floating disc up. His long time blade SharkSlayer is a figurative extension of his left hand. His right hand rests on Serethial's hilt. He can feel the sword's excitement and power. The blade is hungry for the downfall of Zon-Kuthon's influence.
Thorgrym has never felt so many powerful magics, enchantments, and spells coursing through his body. He only focused on his breathing and he was able to achieve a zen like state. He felt content. He had faced death before and something brought him back. He believed his spirit was able to return because this fight was his fate. He thought that perhaps after victory he may die anyway since he had completed his destiny. Maybe he wasn't truly resurrected but only given just enough time to complete this.

Just as the disc reached its final stop he reached over to stroke Bucho's loyal head and while the blood bubble broke and literal Hell burst forth he took just enough time to bend down and let the dog give a sloppy lick to the side of his head. Then they were moving, great speed enhanced to supernatural.
Without thought they moved in concert to flank and attack the White Queen.

Grym's attack 1d20 + 22 + 5 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 22 + 5 + 2 + 6 = 38
Serethial 1d8 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 2 + 6 + (4, 5, 5, 3) = 43

Bucho's attack 1d20 + 19 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 19 + 7 + 2 + 6 = 43
magic enhanced bite 1d8 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 6 = 26

included +6 hit/damage for human favored enemy

Morkeleb! Are these queens illusions? Is there a way to tell without going up and smacking one?

Round 1

Seeing the room filled with foes, Ferox calls on Abadar to provide swift judgement on them all.

Swift: Activate Judgement: Justice and Destruction

He then unleashes as much holy retribution down on them, as a flurry of arrows is loosed from his bow.

Target White, then Orange, Yellow, then Blue, if any should fall. If not targeting White, -10 to the attack result.

Arrow1: 1d20 + 22 + 14 + 10 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 14 + 10 - 2 - 4 = 51
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 10 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 10 + (5, 4) + 8 = 37
Manyshot: 1d8 + 7 + 10 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 10 + (3, 3) + 8 = 34

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 22 + 14 + 10 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 22 + 14 + 10 - 2 - 4 = 52
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 10 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 10 + (2, 6) + 8 = 39

Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 10 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 10 + (4, 2) + 8 = 39

Round 1

Cricktik takes quick stock of the battlefield. Seeing the evil form of his hivemate across the room, Cricktick attempts to remove him from play, even if only briefly.

Hold Monster on Evil Odric, Will DC 18

If a bard were to sing of it the crowd would dismiss it as fantasy. It's no fantasy,, the ranger and his loyal companion dash open the queen's ribs and tear her kneecap out! She refuses to fall. Not now! Not so close to ultimate victory!

Ferox changes that with an arrow to the eye! He quickly turns to a second Ileosa before the first one crumbles into a pile of bloody snow. She too drops in a hail of death arrows, and she too is nothing but snow.

For good measure he sticks an arrow in center mass of a third Ileosa Yellow

Criktik uses his power against the Evil Odric Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 but the man with the goatee only laughs from the belly.

"በሲኦል ውስጥ ይቃጠላሉ!" The Devil gives a flame-filled laugh as the whole area is shot through with sheets of roaring flame. All on the side of the Upturned Cup takes 17d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 5, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2) = 69 Fire damage. Half on successful REF DC 25 save. If you have SR it can penetrate up to 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24. Ref for Psychopomp REF: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 He then closes distance on his burning wings, eyes locked firmly on Odric. "FOOLISH MORTAL, CONTINUE YOUR PITIFUL BRAGGING NOW!"

Devil is identifiable with a Knowledge (Planes) check, DC 28 for the first question.

Round I

Grym & Bucho: Savage!
Ferox: Reign in Blood
Puragaus: Fire Storm
White Ileosa: Destroyed
Gaius & the Menotherian: Go

Orange Ileosa: Destroyed
Red Ileosa: TBD
Yellow Ileosa: TBD
Odric the Stout: TBD

The flames fail to touch Menetherian The Strict, the fiends magic just dies as it approaches the Herald of Calistria.

Gaius... 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28, seemingly guided by forces beyond your ken, just dances out of the flames and is untouched as he leaps and spins through the air, before landing in a crouching lunge, his left hand stretched behind him as if he just brushed the fires away. His long hair hangs down, hiding his face. Gaius slowly raises his head and flips his hair back and around, his eyes glowing an unearthly yellow.

My Turn he snarls, and he speaks a word that is anathema to Evil itself, as his outstretched left hand traces three sacred sigils in the air, and he activates the Bead of Smiting.

Holy Smite bursts forth, catching Ileosa (black), The Undead Dragon, The Devil, and Evil Odric.

DC 17 Will Save for Half Damage and no blindness.
Damage on Fail for Evil:3d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 8) = 11 plus blindness as per spell
Damage on Fail for Evil Outsiders:7d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 4, 1, 3, 6) = 23 plus blindness
SR Check:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Ick. Dang it.

Gaius then bolts for the corner.

Menetherian's faceted eyes glimmer. Her wings buzz with volume and frequency enough to shake the walls. She unleashes all her beastly fury on The Devil.

Bite:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
Damage on hit:1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Claw 1:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29
Damage on Hit:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Claw 2:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45
Damage on hit:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Confirm:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34 for another 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 damage

Sting:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (16) + 26 = 42
I assume Devils are immune to poison but it's still 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 7) + 9 = 24 damage and he still owes a DC 25 Fort Save as Menetherian tries to latch on and implant eggs.

Not a moment after the fires died down, Gaius takes action.

White Ileosa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 FAIL
Taniniver: Spell does not penetrate SR
Puragaus: Spell does not Penetrate SR
Evil Odric: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 PASS

Barely a grunt escapes Evil Odric, but Ileosa screeches in agony as her eyes are blanked by Gaius's spell.

The Herald reaches out and most of her attacks fall short, but not all. A claw and sting break through the flaming sin of the Devil but only the stinger hurts it at all. Through the entire exchange the devil never turns away from looking at Odric. The very devil's body burns the Herald, Fire: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 and Fire: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 Net 17 damage after Resistance

FORT: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36, the eggs instantly burn within the devil's body and die off.

Black Ileosa: mutters words of magic but nothing overtly visible happens. Spellcraft DC 17 to identify.

Green Ileosa: Steps up next to the huge dragon. She also weaves words of magic, locking eyes with Sandor Will Save DC 19 or find yourself Confused.

Blue Ileosa: A third Ileosa targets Bucho, weaving a spell. Will DC 18 or be Slowed

Morrigna: The Psychopomp slides to the side and her wrappings lash out towards the Yellow Ileosa:
Wrappings 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21 MISS
Wrappings 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36 for DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 and then they wrap her up!
Grab: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 29 And she escapes!

ROUND 1

As the battle ensues, Morkeleb has a lot to do before he can even act...

Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 24 <--dang! with all the buffs, missed it by ONE!!!

He is unable to dodge the flames, but his resistance to fire & the Heroism spell blunt the edge somewhat--but he is still pretty injured by the spell.

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 25 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 25 + 4 = 45
The devil is known to him...

He sees one of the queen's dopplegangers cast a spell, and...
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 26 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 26 + 4 = 36
...knows what it is (and probably whom its targetting)

He also takes a quick look at the "queens," to try to determine what kind of magic is making the duplicates, and whether he can determine which (if any!!) is the actual queen.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 26 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 26 + 4 = 33

With the initial perusal complete, he shifts backward and takes action...an attempt to split the field into the Upturned Cup's favor!

A Prismatic Wall springs into being immediately behind the devil, a bright multi-colored opaque plane of pure magic. It is only wide enough that it leaves a 10' gap where Bucho is standing Wall is 4' wide per level, which is 60' and the room appears to be 70' wide. It's 30' tall so I assume it reaches the ceiling?

Mind the wall, my friends. Trying to pass through it will prove...very unhealthy.

The flames envelop Ferox but fail to touch him.

Cricktik tries to duck away from the flames...
Reflex: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
And manages to avoid the full brunt of the fire.

The wall bursts into existence, eliciting growls from most of the enemy.

Round I

Grym & Bucho: Savage!
Ferox: Reign in Blood
Puragaus: Fire Storm
White Ileosa: Destroyed
Gaius & the Menotherian: Magic

Bucho/Grym/Ferox killed the White Queen. But you mention that she is blind? Is there a different color Queen that is blinded?

Team Ranger reflex saves vs el fuego del diablo

Grym 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 4 = 20 FAIL,
Protection from Energy(fire): 69/110

Bucho 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 4 = 34 PASS
Evasion, no damage

As the intense sheets of Devil Fire pours over the UpTurned Cup the big brindle dog is instantly alert. Avoiding fire is a primal instinct for all animals. The dog drops low and moves just enough keep his sensitive nose free of the flames, some of his back hair is singed but he comes through unhurt.
Surprisingly caught flat footed, Grym takes the powerful flames full in the face. Yet, even realizing the danger the ranger shows no sign of distress. He confidently trusts his magics and sure enough he is unhurt by the flames.

The silent dwarf mounts the floating disk, giving a salute to the Upturned Cup by placing his favorite mug upside down on the disk. Nobody need Crictik to relay the message for you all can see it in his eyes before he closes his helm that he is proud of his time with all of you.

Round 1

With the opening salvo's being thrown, fire here, rainbow wall there, Illeosa's exploding into bloody snowflakes, Sandor almost forgets to step forward and lay a butt whoppin on the devil.

Reflex Save DC 25: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34

Reminder: If Bash causes movement AoO from Everyone in Melee.
Sandor will only step up if Devil goes out of his reach

My bad the blinded Queen is also dead.

Stepping close to the demon, Sandor unloads on the devil careful not to hit the prismatic wall. His first swing lands, and the second knocks him back 5'! The devil roars in fury. Though Sandor only barely move him, move him he did. The follow up swing is tremendous, cutting a deep wound in the fiery devil's side. He connects again pushing him back, albeit only barely!

The Taniniver slithers to the edge of the wall. He lets out a hideous cloud of diseased air straight from his belly. It washes over almost half the party! Saves from Bucho, Grym, Gaius, and Criktik FORT DC 27 to negate The weapon causes STR DRAIN: 1d6 ⇒ 3 and you instantaneously develop Mummy Rot taking an additional CON DAMAGE: 1d6 ⇒ 2 and CHA DAMAGE: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Evil Odric dashes to the edge of the wall, losing precious time as he closes with Bucho.

Red Ileosa immediatey begins to sing, her skill would have made her the most famous prima donna in all the Inner Sea, but here she is twisting words to bolster her allies. She then mutters words of magic, and yet ANOTHER Ileosa instantly appears! Purple Finally the crown on her head glows for a moment as she breaks into a slew of mirror images Images: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Max 9

Finally the last Ileosa does her best to cast a spell without letting her guard down Concentration: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20. A spell of grease appears underneath both Odric and Sandor! REF DC 15 from both warriors. Failure and you fall prone. To move you must make a DC 10 Acrobatics check (for half speed). Failure means a new save.

Round I

Grym & Bucho: Savage!
Ferox: Reign in Blood
Puragaus: Fire Storm
White Ileosa: Destroyed

Taniniver: Breath
Evil Odric: Double Move.
Orange Ileosa: Destroyed
Red Ileosa: Magic & Bard
Yellow Ileosa: Grease
Odric the Stout: Go + AoO on Devil (2 if Combat Reflexes)

As the disc rises, Odric sees the foes arrayed before the Upturned Cup. He recalls the starstruck feeling he had when first confronted with royalty, but grimaces with chagrin at the memory. This usurper has set herself against the city Odric loves and has sworn to protect. His encounter with her 8 months and 19 days ago was like a meeting of two entirely different people. This meeting would go much differently.

A wall of flame billows toward him as way of introduction, and though he ducks. Reflex Save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 <- Fail, takes 55 Damage. His enlarged form is not nimble enough to avoid the full brunt of the flames.

As he watches the fleet-footed and quick fingered on the battlefield deploy and begin the battle, he shrewdly appraises the tactical situation. When he spots an opportunity to lash out at Sandor's opponent, he takes it, almost as an after thought as he looks for the best way for him to wreak havoc on the enemies.

AoO 1 of 3: Power Attack (Furious Focus) with The Kegerator: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (5) + 36 = 41 for 3d6 + 14 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) + 14 + 9 + 4 = 43 damage and Intimidate DC 11+Target HD+Target's Wisdom Modifier: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (5) + 28 = 33.

AoO 2 of 3: Power Attack (Furious Focus) with The Kegerator: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (10) + 36 = 46 for 3d6 + 14 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 5) + 14 + 9 + 4 = 36 damage and Intimidate DC 11+Target HD+Target's Wisdom Modifier: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31.

He mutters, For Korvosa, and for the men I stand beside before setting his jaw and advancing with a shuffling step he learned from watching Vencarlo many months ago. no movement, just flavor

If his various attacks drop the devil, Odric will attack the dragonfly-looking thing east of him for his subsequent attacks. If that one drop too, Odric will try to box Blue Ileosa in against the prismatic wall and the regular wall.

Round the First
Odric bellows, WITNESS!!! as though commanding bards of ages yet to come to watch, remember, and retell the tale of this battle, and flies into battle!

That dragonfly looking thing is on your side by the way.

Twice the Kegerator cuts as Sandor bashes the immolating devil backwards. Despite the aligned weapon, the hits still find supernatural resistance, though not nearly enough to stop the blade from cutting.

He follows up swinging, cutting the devil. The wounds add up, giving the monster a fright he had not expected. Shaken The attacks ravage the devil, who holds on, but it's clear Odric has the power to end the devil's life in short order.

Stun Save 1: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33

Ferox takes a quick breath, gaining insight on how best to defeat his foes.
Swift: Bane - Human

He then continues to clear the battlefield, freeing his comrades for more meaningful opponents.

He'll target Purple, Yellow, then Blue. If all of them happen to fall, he'll target the devil.

Damage: 1d8 + 13 + 2d6 + 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 13 + (4, 4) + (1, 4, 6, 1) + 8 = 49

Arrow3: 1d20 + 16 + 18 - 6 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 18 - 6 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 13 + 2d6 + 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 13 + (1, 6) + (1, 5, 1, 5) + 8 = 43

Round2

Fort: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Cricktik can feel his body weaken as he inhales the toxic fumes.

Knowing how powerful Odric can be, Cricktik again tries to Hold Evil Odric, delaying his participation in the battle.

Hold Monster, DC 18 Will save.

Ferox continues to strike with the Will of Abadar.

The first arrow strikes true, as does the second. The inquisitor curses, and while she doesn't fall, he changes targets to an injured Ileosa. With a single strike he drops her. He then whips around, sticking two arrows in yet another Queen. While she doesn't drop, she looks awfully close to dying!

Again the formian vassal targets evil Odric Will: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14, and this time he freezes in place!

Yellow Ileosa: Destroyed
Odric the Stout: TBD

Point of Order! I noticed some of you have Fire protection. The fire from the Immolation Devil is HELLFIRE, meaning only half is truly fire damage.

dammit, why couldn't Sandor have pushed the devil into the wall??? would have been AWESOME!!! well done in any case...

Believe me I looked for a way to do so, but there wasn't one that I could see. Maybe if I had lunge ;)

Devil 1: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Devil 2: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Sorry guys, there's a ot of moving parts I forgot to roll for the fire shield damage from Odric's hits. Each hit is only half fire the other half is pure unholy damage:

Fire Shield 1: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Fire Shield 2: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Fire Shield 3: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

point of order: if Odric is Large, does his weapon count as "having reach" for the purposes of bypassing that damage??? :-)))

Nice try but no. Reach is a weapon quality in that case. He's still using the Kegerator.

Round Two Team Ranger

Grym Fort save 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 4 + 1 = 28

Bucho Fort save 1d20 + 18 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 4 + 1 = 39

It seems to have no effect on Bucho and Grym only coughs lightly, yet both seem to weather the diseased cloud well.

The ranger gives the battlefield a quick glance, for now at least it seems the others are handling El Diablo and the rest of the threats on this side of Morkeleb's Amazing Technicolor Wall.
For now Team Ranger decides to hold the gap. Seeing Evil Odric vulnerable, Grym tries to shut him down before he starts cutting Stout sized damage amongst the UpTurned Cup.

Grym 5' step and Full Attack

Main attack 1d20 + 22 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 22 + 5 + 6 = 41
Serethial 1d8 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 + 6 + (1, 6, 4, 2) = 43

Offhand attack 1d20 + 19 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 5 + 6 = 34
SharkSlayer 1d4 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 6 = 23

Second main 1d20 + 22 + 5 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 22 + 5 + 6 - 5 = 43
Serethial 1d8 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 + 6 + (2, 6, 4, 5) = 44

Second Offhand 1d20 + 19 + 5 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 5 + 6 - 5 = 35
SharkSlayer 1d4 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 6 = 21

Third main 1d20 + 22 + 5 + 6 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 22 + 5 + 6 - 10 = 26
Serethial 1d8 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 + 6 + (4, 6, 4, 4) = 49

Hasted attack 1d20 + 22 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 22 + 5 + 6 = 47
Serethial 1d8 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 + 6 + (4, 4, 1, 6) = 43

Rend Damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Bucho Full Attack on Evil Odric

Main attack 1d20 + 19 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 7 + 6 = 42
Bite 1d8 + 16 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 2 + 6 = 29

Second attack 1d20 + 19 + 7 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 7 + 6 - 5 = 34
Bite 1d8 + 16 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 + 6 = 30

Hasted attack 1d20 + 19 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 7 + 6 = 45
Bite 1d8 + 16 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 + 6 = 31

Bucho was also targeted with a Slow spell: WILL: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 which he passes.

Bucho and Grym join together and utterly chop the evil Odric into large chunks. The damage is devastating enough to draw the dragon's attention with its sheer violence!

----

Injured as he is the devil has but a singular purpose, ending Odric the Stout. Rearing back he musters the energy for a single bite of immense power Bite: 1d20 + 29 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 29 - 4 - 2 = 27 for DMG: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 4) + 24 = 33 and make a DC 31 REF save or the flames in his mouth set you aflame for an additional HELLFIRE: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

As a reminder, Stoneskin doesn't protect against energy. It does reduce up to 10 physical damage per round until it's out, so in this case 10 points is ablated from the total, and the rest gets through.

CORRECTION which does not matter now but will later: stoneskin blocks 10 damage PER ATTACK up to (in this case) 130 damage total. Thank you.

Correct. I just misspoke.

Odric's buffed AC is higher... he is at least a 30 right now. Ferox's Magic Circle vs evil gives +2 deflection, and the Cats Grace is a +2 from Dex.. he applied the negatives not the positives.

Gaius stares blankly at the uninjured queen before him. He's seen Ferox shoot, and there's no way in this world or any other that she's completely un-phased by arrows fired by the inquisitor.

Gaius thinks his senses are being fooled.

He steps back and casts Summon Monster IV at the end of the round an ENTROPIC GIANT WASP appears.

The Menotherian, shifts back and casts Insect Plague defensively, not sure if the devil can reach her with his long arms.

Three swarms of wasps appear on the other side of the prismatic, where The Menotherian remembered the blood blob and two of queens.

As the giant wasp appears, Gaius thinks a telepathic message to The Menotherian: I have summoned our mutual friend. Could you relay a message for me, Mistress?

Odric's buffed AC is higher... he is at least a 30 right now. Ferox's Magic Circle vs evil gives +2 deflection, and the Cats Grace is a +2 from Dex.. he applied the negatives not the positives.

unless Odric has a ring of protection...

Deflection Bonus' stack

Odric cannot gain any AC via Dex increases as he is already capped out via his armor and training. Deflection bonuses NEVER stack with other deflection bonuses. Also, Gaius Summon Monster has a 1 round casting time, the wasp appears at the beginning of your next turn.

Gaius falls into the words a complex spell while the Herald brings forth thousands of stinging insects. The instantly begin their wor, stinging and haranguing the Ileosas. DMG: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Green Fort v Nausea: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Green Fort v Distraction: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Black Fort v Nausea: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Black Fort v Distraction: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Both Ileosa's fight off the poison, but the insects flying into their mouths causes them to wretch! Both women flee the swarm but do little else.

Blue Ileosa steps forward and casts a spell on the Devil, giving him some effect not readily discernible.

The Morrigna gives a tsk tsk and casts a spell to undo it Caster Level: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 which she does with ease before cosing with the woman

gah, my bad I was confusing it for Dodge bonus.

Wait, Evil Odric is dead? Damn it!

Wait, Evil Odric is dead? Damn it!

I did honestly want to see an Odric vs Odric showdown, but for this important of a fight it seemed foolish not to strike while the iron is hot.

I was looking forward to it as well, but I was still quite entertained by seeing Grym murderlate him so thoroughly.

ROUND 2

Seeing the shocking amount of violence and magic being slung around in so short a time, the wizard peers around his side of the wall. Everything seems pretty well in hand, for the most part. He glances at the gap between his magical wall and the room's actual wall: the dragon is now by far the greatest threat. He moves over next to Gaius, and at the risk of drawing the dragon's ire (which will likely kill him outright), he brings forth his magic into a shocking and blinding blast of energy as the familiar green ray of the Disintegrate spell is empowered with the wizard's eldritch might!

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 15
SR if required: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 4 = 32

Damage: 30d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 5, 1, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1, 2) = 99 <--Empowered to 148 total damage
Damage for Fort save DC 24: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 1, 3) = 19 <--Empowered to 28 total damage

Ferox continues to strike with the Will of Abadar.

Morkeleb's ray of disintegration HITS! The ray seems to slow a bit, and barely punches through the dragon's resistance to mortal magic! FORT: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 The ray instantly turns a large section of the rotting body to dust. Chockingly the dragon seems ready to fight, it's horrible face pointed squarely at the Archenchanter

Round II

Grym & Bucho: MURDERDEATHKILL

Gaius & the Menotherian: Magic!

Odric the Stout: TBD

holy crap he failed the fort save?!?!? W000000T!!!

The wizard grins at the huge swath he has cut out of the monster. Alright, boys, your turn. Take his attention off me, won't you?

At least he'll have difficulty getting past that wall...

Round 2

Wrong move Purple aura. Sandor thinks. He hopes that the massive damage that he and Odric have layed out will drop the devil soon, and allow Sandor the pleasure of pounding the false Queen. He steps up and unloads again.

5'step closer. My hope is that Devil dies, or falls prone so my later attacks can hit. If he dies, I will attack Purple Illeosa

Gaius turns to Morkeleb.

You couldn't have done that from over there? Somewhere that wasn't right behind me?

Morkeleb blinks. This is the best I could do to get a line of fire on the dragon. I didn't think you'd mind THAT much.
