Euan's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Lief moves to box-in the normally fast Quilindra and strikes her again, more deeply this time. Ederin, tentatively, hesitates as he hopes things might be resolved differently. Ederin, please feel free to take your action, I’m going to move on, but you have a standard action remaining. Allarnon moves to block Quilindra’s escape, but she does not need to go that far to escape… Dimitrio too steps up, but alas fails to connect even with the flat-footed demon. Kaylayne’s ready does not go off as Quilindra fails to trigger her spell.

Quilindra tries to depart the playing field. Sadly a few thing have her stuck. First, she can’t get clear, so must cast defensively…
Concentration: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 vs DC 29

She smiles at the group, her spell having failed, ”Ahh well, I will be back, though it may take me some time to gather up appropriate trinkets again, and I will find you and exact what little revenge I feel is due for this, though I must admit the turn of events is lovely and worthy of story telling!”

Bloody, and nearly spent, she gathers herself for the next rounds abuse, standing tall and firm, waiting for your attacks.

Round 2, Init 24

Lief presses his frustration with the others into his assault on the succubus. Swift Study He bids Dimitrio engage in flank. Not willing to chance a miss, he lets the blade deepen on the first hit, weakening his second strike immensely.

+1 Cold Iron Rapier, Studied, Flank, Combat Inspiration: 1d20 + 13 + 6 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 6 + 2 + (7) = 41 for 1d6 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 6 = 8 damage

Iterative: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 22 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage

"For the love of all things holy, help me end this abomination!!"

Dimitrio had already spoken and the grim look on his face precluded further speech. He was determined to end this thing.

Surprised at the tough skin of the demon, he struck again.

is the demon wearing armor or have a shield?

Dimitrio - Quilindra wears a very supple studded leather, and has a force-shield up normally, though she has not had an opportunity to prepare it as yet. So no shield during this fight.

Sadly however, you fail to connect with either blow, though you only missed by one with your second attack if you've got something up your sleeve to help...

Round 2, Init 16

"Ahh well, I will be back..."

Kaylayne smirks, feeling much better all of the sudden. Her worry and tension lessens.

"Thank you for saying that, Quill. I was having doubts about Lief's action, betraying an ally who served us so well yet so deserving of this fate. I would never want to kill one even such as you as you have been steadfast and mostly honest with us. However, now that I know that your demise is only temporary, I feel much better about doing it," Kaylayne replies.

"Ederin, let loose and end her. It's only a blip that she could barely care about. Finish her and avenge the elf that she betrayed. Let us do what we can to end her taint for a time."

Kaylayne keeps her dispel magic readied for if she is able to cast something that Kaylayne would dislike.

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 Spellcraft

Allarnon still doesn't feel right betraying her.

We forced her into this action and position. We are supposed to be better than her. Not stoop to her level.

He sighs as he is left with little other choice. He slams into Tarkir. In an instant his fur sheds and joins into Tarkir, giving the smaller bear a bit more mass as he doubles in size.

Animal growth on Tarkir. he is now large.

"Get on her Tark!"

Bite; PA; Animal Growth: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 2 + 4 = 31
Damage: 1d6 + 7 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 4 + 4 = 17

Lief steps in and concentrates, hitting one more time and providing flank for Dimitrio. Ederin continues to hesitate, debating his inner demons Delay. Allarnon enlarges Tarkir, but alas the great bear, unused to his new size, misses. Dimitrio steps up and swings mightily, but he overextends, and fails to connect with the swift bard. Kaylayne continues to ready her spell, in the hopes of stopping Quilindra’s early departure.

Quilindra again concentrates on the task at hand, and tries to cast a spell…
Concentration: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 23 - 4 = 27 (Dimitrio’s Disruption) vs DC 29

Just as she's about to complete the task, Dimitrio's blade nudges her arm and the process is ruined.

She sighs, bleeding all over though only Lief has cut her so far, ”Seems I’m destined to remain here with you a short while.” she prepares to lean in to Lief for a little kiss…

A blip she ain't worried about? What about what I'm worried about? Ederin thinks, still stuck where he's standing. She ain't made a single move against us till Lief decided to attack, an' I'm supposed to kill her for that.

Ederin reaches his hand back and pulls out a couple blunt arrows that he launches at Quillindra halfheartedly.

Round 3, Init 24

Lief continues to press his attack, though his resolve is quickly waning. They've been enraptured. They won't hurt her, but they're not stopping me... Damn me for trying...

+1 Cold Iron Rapier, Studied, Flank: 1d20 + 13 + 6 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 6 + 2 + (6) = 47 for 1d6 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 = 12 damage

Shifting into a flanking position with Lief and Dimitro Allarnon and tarkir press their attacks, blocking Quill with their massive frames.

Allarnon roars inches from her face as she tries to escape once again.

Dimitrio could not believe how he missed but was glad to have ruined her concentration.

He pressed on...

I guess I'm not going to hit her...:(

Lief swings twice, criticalling once. Ederin halfheartedly shoots a few arrows toward the demon, though, perhaps as desired, he misses with this batch. Allarnon and Tarkir rake the air in a flurry of blows, and just as it looks like Quilindra will escape unscathed, one lands… Dimitrio misses as the body drops to the ground.

Quilindra changes back into her demonic form as she lies lifeless on the cold ground. Her few trinkets will no doubt swell the coffers of the party further.

…and we’re out of initiative.

Kaylayne floats over to the body of the demoness.

"Sadly, she'll be back. She's right...this is no ending. There is no end to demons nor devils nor deamons. And this was no ending for her, I fear," Kaylayne says, trying to think how to addresses Lief's impetuousness again...for the 3rd time.

She bites her lip as she goes through the magics left by the demoness, craving on the ring of force shield for herself (if no one else wants it).

A disgusted Dimitrio sheathes his barely bloodied rapier.

"What do you mean Layne? Her body is there in plain sight. Is she going to reincarnate or something?"

"What do you mean Layne? Her body is there in plain sight. Is she going to reincarnate or something?"

Kaylayne shrugs.

"She said she was. She said she would. I have no reason to doubt it...and therefore little guilt about this."

"She said she was. She said she would. I have no reason to doubt it...and therefore little guilt about this."

Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 17 + 1d8 ⇒ (15) + 17 + (7) = 39 How quickly can demons respawn?

Lief takes the succubus's rapier, sheathing it alongside his own. He searches the body for the gemstones, like the one used to activate the first two gates they've passed through already. He hands the map to Ederin to allow the tracker to understand their final advance to Thorn's End. Taking possession of the bloodstone, fire opal, and moonstone.

"So, the fairytale was right. I didn't understand at the time, but I do now." I am the scorpion, not the turtle. The quasit, not the princess.

Lief waits for a moment. "Should we rest here, before attempting to reopen the gate? Or are we ready to proceed?"

"Should we rest here, before attempting to reopen the gate? Or are we ready to proceed?"

Kaylayne shrugs. "I used no magics in watching you murder her. I am ready to go," Kaylayne says as she gathers the rest of the loot and puts it away. She puts the ring on her finger as no one else has laid claim (yet).

Kaylayne straightens, looking at the gate.

"I'm ready. Not sure what to expect when we get through."

"I used no magics in watching you murder her."

"Yes, I'm all too aware of that. I'm also aware of your desire to lay claim to its goods. If your conscience is paining you, I'll not be offended if you decline to accept any of it. I'm sure Dimitrio and Allarnon would find use for that ring, instead of you."

Allarnon slumps down and stares at the crumpled form of the demoness. His face scrunched up in confusion.

"We forced her hand. It didn't need to come to this. We could have simply parted ways. What makes us better than her with what we just did?" Allarnon asks Lief solemnly.

"You never simply part ways with a demon, Allarnon. You still see it as an elf, with true feelings that can be hurt? Your eyes are clouded, Allarnon. Its very nature is abhorrent, and it served its purpose long enough to us. We only really needed its gems, the keys to opening these aiudaras. We have served drow, and we have consorted with demonkind. For what we think is the 'greater good'. As Kaylayne even admits, the world is less tainted now with the succubus gone. May it rot in hell for Elledariah's betrayal. And that's the only one we know of. Demons are ancient creatures. Who knows the suffering it wrought before serving us."

"Not a damn f$%#in' thing." Ed answers, as he spits on the ground. "And I ain't takin' anything that was hers. F*%&in' murdered her."

Ederin takes up position near the gate to show he's ready to move on.

Lief listens to Ederin state his mind plainly. There is no room for rebuttal, and he senses Ederin's previous irritations over confrontation, so holds his tongue for now. Doesn't sound like either he or she will be convinced otherwise, and I shouldn't have to justify myself in such an obvious case as this.

If everyone consents, he produces the different gemstones, and approaches the gate, offering up each in turn, until the gate responds. He marks which gemstone activates the Lichgate.

You can see from Quilindra’s map that a sapphire is needed to pass to the next gate. At first you glance through her things and wonder, when buried in an intricate design, a saphire chip is found gleaming in the amulet of natural armor she wore. It is sufficient to activate the arch to the TangleGate. You also know from the map that the fire opal opens an arch to the LichGate (so for example if you need to return here from the TangleGate, you’d use the fire opal to do so). To go from here to the IceGate you need a moonstone, and to GaltGate you need a garnet (I believe Kaylayne also has a garnet). Now that you know how these gates work, and have a map, I’ll assume you do the right thing at the right times so we don’t have to keep track.

You ready to step through the gate, the gate-gemstone warms in Lief’s hand as the gate flares open. The party charges through and the gate closes quietly behind you. In one minute you can activate it again to return to the LichGate

TangleGate is a stone arch sitting on a small sliver of ground amid a stinking, seething bog of tainted water. Deep in the forest known now as Tanglebriar, this gate is covered with clinging moss and the ground around it is thick with diseased and foul-smelling mushrooms. The elf gate itself looks remarkably well-preserved for the surroundings however. Circling the gate are floating globes of light, once golden perhaps, they have been corrupted into greens and yellows casting a sickly pallor over the whole scene.

To your right, you can barely see a ruined structure through the trees, but between you and it - hostiles! Two spiders the size of elephants - dark blue arachnids rearing up on their six hind legs to raise their barbed and razor-edged front claws - scurry forth, splashing through the shallow waters of the surrounding bog with terrific speed. They seem to have been waiting for you…

"Yes, I'm all too aware of that. I'm also aware of your desire to lay claim to its goods. If your conscience is paining you, I'll not be offended if you decline to accept any of it. "

Kaylayne sniffs, admiring the ring on her finger.

"No, as I mentioned as it was happening, I have no problem with her death. If you recall, I argued for it as it is a only somewhat meaningful gesture. What's more troubling Lief is that you failed to enlist one of us before you acted like this. Again, you fail to show any instance of teamwork or realization that your actions speak for all of us."

Kaylayne rephrases.

"The death of the demoness concerns me less than your decision to do it."

"They are unknowable!"

Kaylayne casts Solid Fog in the middle of them and 5' flaps back.

New combat stat block coming with next combat post.

Kaylayne throws down some fog, which does slow their advance, but their many legs churn through the water, and they feel their way to the party line (though they do close closer then they might have liked in order to see…).

The two beasts rear up and attack, the first on Dimitrio, and the second on Lief.

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Allarnon doesn't recognize the creatures more than the spiders they are.

Would my Woodland Stride ability help with the heavy underbrush?

Allarnon should have expected resistance at the gate but for some reason didn't think of placing defensive effects upon himself or Tarkir as the thoughts of Quill's demise filled his mind.

Coming back to reality Allarnon and Tarkir protect themselves as the elephant spiders run in.

Wishing he had spoken up sooner about the protective ring, the bard unsheathes his weapon and strikes at the oversized spider.

Kaylayne gives one of the demons a light dusting, the brightness of which dazzles the creatures many eyes a bit. Ederin’s bow wakes up to these demons as he hits several times - including a mighty critical! Dimitrio also does a job, criticalling on the poor spidery thing. Lief, knowing little for a change, also strikes true. Allarnon closes and misses but Tarkir does better, landing two blows on the giant beast.

Yet none of you do as much damage as you’d hope (DR good which I think none of you have? If you do, please let me know as it’s not on your attack notes, or I missed it.). The mighty beasts return the favor.

The two demons press their attacks, the first on Dimitrio, and the second on Lief.

Fortitude Save v DC 23: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 1 = 24

Lief, willing the venom to still, tries desperately to avoid being rent.

Reflex Save v DC 25: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Unarmored, he presses his attack. With the last of his inspiration, he watches what effect his new blade has on the creature.

+3 Spell Storing Rapier, Studied: 1d20 + 15 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 6 = 40 for 1d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 6 = 14 damage

Iterative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage

Edit:

Confirm Critical?: 1d20 + 15 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 6 = 24 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 damage

Allarnon gasps as the creatures tear right through Lief's armor as they shred it into neat little ribbons. Re-centering his efforts he puts everything he can into taking these creatures down fast.

Round 2, Init 18

Kaylayne points her Staff of Dark Flame at the giant spider (yellow dot), knowing that spiders hate fire (usually). Three fiery rays shoot out.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 2) + 1 = 16 fire damage;

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 3) + 1 = 15 fire damage;

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 3) + 1 = 16 fire damage;

1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 4 = 24 SR if necessary

Kid's gotten braver, I'll give 'im that. Ederin thinks as Lief presses the attack without the protection of his armor. He pulls back on his bow and fires another volley, hoping Lief won't lose anything else.
"Lief step behind me if you need to."

Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 15

Attack - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 21

2nd Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 16

3rd Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 19

not sure if anything is left but Dimi will attack whatever is left.

Smarting from his wounds and the fact that his nostrils filled with a putrid smell that Dimitrio suspected was his own, the bard continued to attack.

---------------
fort DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
rapier to hit (rapier+3, arcane strike, extra panache): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
damage: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26
rapier to hit (rapier+3, arcane strike, extra panache): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

critical?
rapier to hit (rapier+3, arcane strike, extra panache): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34
damage: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26

If Dimitrio figures out the 'resistance' then he may enchant his weapon with another +1 for a total of +4. That would require a move action so he would only be able to attack once this round. Just let me know.

Kaylayne rips three flaming beams at the demon who, surprisingly, has no defense against the damage. Ederin lays down a field of fire, but does not quite drop his foe. Dimitrio knows there’s some DR of some sort, but not what so I’m not sure what he’d do. You can boost your weapon next round if you wish. You connect once this round with a critical! Yet the creature remains standing, barely, until… Lief cuts it down with a mighty blow. Allarnon, the holy man, connects twice - raking the demon. Not sure if Tarkir would have moved to engage the new foe - it would result in an AoO. Let me know ‘cuase he hit if he did.

Now that Lief has been cracked, the demon shifts his attention to Allarnon, hoping to slow the damage being done. Surely it must know its life is measured in seconds now, but it presses on anyway.
bite on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 4 = 35 damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 9 = 18 plus rot: Fort DC 23 or 2 points con damage
crit threat bite on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 19 - 4 = 18 damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 = 17

claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 4 = 21 damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 = 13
claw on Allarnon: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 4 = 21 damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13

(The rot does not stack (thankfully) but does extend the duration.)

-Round 3-
Purple - 21 (-226hp) (dead)
Yellow - 21 (-90hp) (-4 attacks 1/6r)
Kaylayne - 18
Ederin - 14+
Dimitrio - 14- (-44hp)(-4 con damage)(rot 2/5) (Fort save)
Lief - 10 (-54hp)(-2 con damage)(rot 2/5) (Fort save)
Allarnon - 9 (-18hp)(rot 1/5 on failed save) (Fort save)

Next up - Everyone.
Terrain Notes: The brown areas are bog up to your shins and are considered a Shallow Bog (link), so 2 squares of movement and Acrobatics DCs are increased by 2. The green areas are Heavy Underbrush, so 4 squares of movement and Acrobatics DCs are increased by 5. Miss chances and other things as well - it’s thick!

Round 3, Init 10

Lief stills his breathing, trying to slow the pulse of his blood, and avoid further damage from the venom still pumping through his arm and upper chest.

Fortitude Save #2 v DC 23: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 1 = 27

Something feels to have worked, so he retreats into his cluster, hoping to screen himself with the others. He pulls his wand free, and begins to shore up his health, in case there are more bebiliths about.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Tarkir wouldn't have changed targets without being commanded to do so.

Fort save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

Allarnon absorbs most of the rotting bite before it is able to take over his flesh. Not quite realizing that Tarkir's target is down as he has his own hands full he slams back into the spider.

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Claw 1: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Claw 2: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
Holy Damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Tarkir continues to chew and shred the dead spider.

Round 3, Init 18

Surprised by the success of her first volley, Kaylayne points her staff again. Three fiery rays shoot out.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 6) + 1 = 17 fire damage;

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 6) + 1 = 21 fire damage;

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 touch to hit;
4d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 4) + 1 = 15 fire damage;

Ederin turns and fires on the remaining bebilith, hoping to take it down quickly, though his last few draws feel particularly rushed and ineffective.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 17

Attack - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 17

Attack- Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 16

2nd Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 15

3rd Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 8 + 1 = 13

seeing that his blade was hardly penetrating the demon, the bard started softly singing to enchant his blade with additional humph.

He either killed this thing soon or he would have to disengage.

---------------
move action to start bardic performance to add +1 to blade (total of +4)
fort DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
rapier to hit (rapier+4, arcane strike, extra panache): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

critical?

Dimitrio, no 5' steps, so I think you don't get to swing if you close - which will also provoke...

Let me know your plan.

Dimitrio, no 5' steps, so I think you don't get to swing if you close - which will also provoke...

Let me know your plan.

But I have my handy-dandy feather step boots.

If that doesn't work then he will cast displacement on himself but would rather attack one more round.

Ahhh, excellent. Well done. You'll need to note things like that in your posts - I cannot remember what all of you can do at this level, you've too much depth to track by now. :D

You connect, and critical, and we'll see where the beast lies in a moment...

Kaylayne’s staff rings out once again and three rays slam into the demon, scorching its carapace badly. Ederin connects twice, but does not quite drop the great creature. Dimitrio steps up, criticals and kills the poor demon. Lief saves out the rest of the rot (two consecutive saves stops the process) and moves back to heal himself. Allarnon saves himself the trouble of the rot, but unluckily fails to connect with the spider as it falls to the ground.

-Round 4-
Purple - 21 (-226hp) (dead)
Yellow - 21 (-229hp) (dead)
Kaylayne - 18
Ederin - 14+
Dimitrio - 14- (-44hp)(-6 con damage)(rot 3/5) (Fort save)
Lief - 10 (-54hp)(-2 con damage)
Allarnon - 9 (-18hp)

We are out of initiative, but Dimitrio, I still need two more DC 23 Fort saves from you I think. -2 con for each failed save. This is con damage, so healable by lesser restoration at least.

The grove grows quiet, save for the slow slurping as the swamp begins the slow process of consuming the dead bebiliths.

Kaylayne stares with horror as Dimitirio continues to rot away. She moves closer, floating above the muck and sees if she can help arrest the damage.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Heal - if poison, then if this hits the DC of 23, Dimi, you get +4 to save.

"Not much I can do as the effect continues...there might be solutions when the damage is done...maybe."
