GM Debug's PbP Gameday 7: PFS-RPG 08-99C The Solstice Scar (Inactive)

Game Master DebugAMP

Again the Solstice nears...

You and your allies from the Twinhorn Following are days into your journey into the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. In under 2 days you expect to reach your destination at the base of the Tusk Mountains.

Starting in a day and a half or so. Introduce yourselves to your compatriots!

Oh thank Besmara, no museum this time

"I hate the mountains, so bloody cold, and the thin air." Fandral says as he enters a tent reserved for senior agents. "I mean seriously, you would have to be a little soft in the head to enjoy it."

Fandral is a middle aged male. He wears a purple overcoat that has a thick black belt that keeps it cinched closed. A well maintained pistol is shoved in the folds, and a sheathed cutlass hangs down below his hip. A buckler hangs off of the hilt.

"Oh come off it Fandral. You told me it would be a fun time when this all started which is why I agreed to come along." Holly says while looking up from the book she is reading while seated on a camp chair. "Besides, you promised not to leave me alone on this journey." Holly says with a wry smile.

Lady Holly Day al-Hadir is a young Taldan women in her mid to late twenties. She has blonde hair cut to just above her shoulders. She is dressed in a simple but well styled brown leather overcoat with splashes of white, red, and gold along the cuffs and hem. A scimitar hangs at her left hip.

"Fine, mi lady, I will continue to be on your arm for the remainder" He says with a mocking bow to her.

Whoa, sorry. a half-elf woman advances into the clearing only to pause as she sees the other pair. Didn't mean to interrupt a moment.

Dressed a chain shirt dyed deep red, the woman takes off her shield and hooks it onto her back before advancing. Stretching, she extends a calloused hand towards Fandral. Laara. Captain of the Fearsome Tide. Though fat lot of good that does land-locked and up north like this. She turns to Holly and gives a quick nod. The movement causes two metallic sets of linked rings looped in her belt to clink together. Don't bother getting up. Grab rest while you can - as good a rule as any.

So: either of you been part of these Twinhorn expeditions before? Or just get the marching orders from Valsin?

"Greeting, salutations and warmest welcomes, the gaudily dressed tengu says, laughing at his own pun given their destination.

"I have been part of the expeditions, excursions and treks with the Twinhorn before. Yes, the Tusk Mountains promise to be cold, wintry and bitter likely no place for one who would love to be seated by a toasty, warm, and cozy fire sorting through stacks of books, tomes, and collected writings. It isn't, but yet it is for me. For I am no ordinary librarian, but I am the extraordinary, legendary, and unparalleled General, and I don't mean unspecific, vague or indefinite, GENERAL CHAK!"

I am just having fun yanking on your chain a little Fandral, especially because we've been through this together before.

"Well than, that settles that then." she says as she gently closes book and gives a nod of her head at Fandral. "I see two other agents have come to join us. Please come in and have a seat."[b] she says while gesturing to nearby chairs.

After listening to both introductions Holly speaks again. [b]"A pleasure to meet you both. I am Lady Holly Day al-Hadir of Oppara in Taldor. I have had dealings with the Twinhorn before and I must admit it was a bit of an interesting task." Holly leans back in her chair, picks up a nearby cup filled with an unknown hot liquid, and takes a sip.

Interesting's a way of putting it. Laara chuckles as she takes one of the offered seats. I'm just a bit saddened the Lodge set the route direct from the south this time: I made some good friends in Urgir and haven't had the chance to catch up with them in a bit.

Her eyebrows arch as she looks over tat the tengu. Hope you don't mind me saying so General, but you're the most armed librarian I've ever seen. Zarta got you handling the books that bite back?

I know Holly.

"Oh no, interrupt away. I am sure Holly and I will have another moment or two during the adventure. This will be mission number three or four that we have been on together. For some reason, they keep pairing us up."

"Yes, it is actually starting to feel like deja vu."

"Well if you would quit writing such glowing reviews of our work together perhaps they might stop pairing us up." Holly giggles daintily while trying to hide her smile behind her raised cup.

"I should probably apologize in advance to you both. This kind of back and forth is likely to happen throughout the assignment. Though at least you will be able to say you got to see some fun and entertainment during this adventure."

"Well, they didn't get all the details. I had to leave something to their imagination after all." Fandral answers with a smirk. Then with a shrug, "Those other times are for our eyes only" He looks around the room looking for the others reactions.

With his spectacles drawn over his beak, sitting just above the false Fu Manchu mustache he wears, Chak is furiously scribbling notes about the people and the conversation before him. When there is a sudden pause in the conversation, Chak looks up from his notes and looks at Fandral.

Leave it to my imagination, creativity, and ingenuity? I'm sure I could create, hatch and conceive an interesting set of circumstances, happenings and hmm... state of affairs for my journals.

A small, dark-skinned humanoid bearing a crooked staff tromps into the tent; swaddled in an excessive amount of layers against the cold while a hooked nose protrudes from the robes. A pointed gruff face emerges from behind the hood, bearing an intricate tattoo on his cheek of a complex rune interwoven amidst artistically bleached skin. He bears a well-laden pack, off of which hangs several half finished small puppets dangling by strings. He moves off to an unoccupied side of the tent, setting some of his belongings down whilst rubbing his spindly hands together to bring warmth back to them. His dark eyes sweep appraisingly over the gathered individuals, though he does not interrupt the on going conversation until a lull arises.

"You all are the group Ambrus has gathered, I take it," says the wayang in a slightly dry, gravely voice as he introduces himself. "Call me Yami. I am an...artiste...of sorts, if you will." He joins the tengu in pulling out a notepad of his own, but instead begins offhandedly making sketches of the various individuals gathered. "The arcane arts, yes, but my passion lies with more...creative...pursuits, heh."

Good. Always nice to have a mage on these things. Laara says.

Her eyes catch a glimpse of the wayang's drawings and adjusts her position in the chair slightly, so that the wizard can catch her good side.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

Months ago, agents of the Blakros Museum in Absalom stole a holy dagger—a relic of the Kellid Twinhorn following and the Shining Crusade from centuries ago. What seemed a simple dagger was key to keeping a powerful villain at bay, and the Pathfinder Society has allied with the Twinhorn following and its bold spiritual leader Medda in order to return the relic, use it to perform a ritual before midnight on the winter solstice, and stem an undead invasion. “We are only hours away from the stone circle and our encampment,” Medda announces. “If we are going to make it there by midnight, we need to press on. Once there, we will use Ivvora’s hilt to perform our time-honored ritual and keep evil from our lands.” Medda produces the small hilt of a broken weapon with only a fragment of its black metal blade remaining. “Let us move. There are dangers in these ancient woods: orc raiders, bears that topple trees, and worse. Stay in groups and don’t get lost.”

As the Kellids and Pathfinders reach the top of the hill next to the Twinhorn encampment, they notice splashes of blood and the occasional corpse dotting the landscape. Medda raises her voice, calling, “My brethren, our families are under attack! Secure the camp and drive back any who oppose you. Pathfinder allies, join us in defense of our home!” The landscape opens into a burned hillside where blackened trees stand like lifeless sentinels. A crude blockade shields the entrance to a natural cavern.

Table GMs, area H is now open. Once you have completed area H, you may proceed to areas I or J. The Deepening Shadows condition on page 14 is in effect.

Your week long march suddenly shifts from drudgery to chaos. No sooner does Medda call out her warning then the shadows begin to warp and shift around you.

Wait... no... not shadows... tendrils of negative energy wisp out from behind dead trees and shrubs. Suddenly a quinted of horrid looking humanoid creatures break through the line of shadows, three of them with greatswords raised. One of them is enormous and has a chest showing signs of obvious trauma, it's ribcage splintered outward and reconstructed to look more like prison bars than a skeletal structure. The last has wisps of negative energy leaking from it's eye sockets.

The greatsword wielders

He of the splintered chest

He of the leaking eyes

Round 1:
Holly
Lara
Chak
He of the splintered chest (Big Red)
Yami
Fandral
He of the leaking eyes (Black)
They who wield greatswords (Red, Blue, Pink)
Exi (and friend)

Place yoruselves at the bottom center of the map in the first 3 rows. If anyone can't access the map, let me know, and also tell me what action you intended to take so I can handle your movement until the issue is resolved.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"Well this is a mildly interesting surprise. Lets go deal with this issue so that we can get on with the ceremony. Oh, and be careful of the Devourer." Holly makes a large sweepng gesture including all of her allies and speaks a few arcane words. Holly casts Good Hope and moves towards the threat while drawing her scimitar.

Hmm... I seem to recall, remember and recollect those tendrils being of the bad touch, grabby, feely kind of things. Or maybe that was my nightmare about the bathhouse again.

Any rolls to know more about the tendrils?

Previously...
A tiny woman with a lithe form and delicate butterfly wings, surrounded by sparkling lights and gentle rainbow arcs flits into the tent ahead of a mysterious humanoid with pale blue skin, solid white eyes, and hair so black as to appear almost purple.

"Greetings, Pathfinders! I'm Starlight, and this is Exi," she says, gesturing to the man.

Starlight's and Exi's map tokens are different than these Paizo icons, and more accurate to their appearance, FYI

The tendrils were just descriptive of the creatures coming out of the shadows. Particularly the Devourer. As a note, it is currently night. I'm assuming you had light sources during your journey and still have them out.

Round 1:
Holly (Cast Good Hope)
Lara
Chak
Devourer (Big Red)
Yami
Fandral
He of the leaking eyes (Black)
They who wield greatswords (Red, Blue, Pink)
Exi (and Starlight)

Devourer? Laara says as she strides up and then past Holly. So it's got an appetite then. Nothing good I suppose?

Swift action, shift into Outslug Style. Double move.

As for light, Laara would have her wayfinder glowing to light her path (on her belt).

Yup, must be that bathhouse...

Chak was just about to reach into his haversack for a scroll when he noticed that several of his potential targets had already run ahead.

Hey! Wait, hold on, stand by!

He instead touches the purple stone orbiting his head and moves forward.

Activate the shield spell stored in his ioun stone and move.

Remind me never to go to that bathhouse... wherever it is. Of course there is a good chance Grandmaster Torch has already been there...

The Devourer lifts off of the ground and floats forward. You all begin to hear words echoing in Abyssal...

Souls... I sense souls to be claimed...

It takes a few moments, but you all realize that the voice isn't being spoke aloud, but telepathic... however from the look of it, Lara and Holly heard it much louder than the rest of you.

Lara and Holly, Will saves DC 19 vs Confusion

Round 1:
Holly (Cast Good Hope)
Lara (Outslug)
Chak (Shielded)
Devourer (Big Red, 5 ft above ground, Cast Confusion)
Yami
Fandral
He of the leaking eyes (Black)
They who wield greatswords (Red, Blue, Pink)
Exi (and Starlight)

Party Buffs:
Good Hope, duration 11 minutes, started Round 1 combat 1

"holly don't go off with out me" Fandral shouts as she races ahead.

He then quickly clicks his heels together and the magic within them takes a hold, bolstering his movement. Free action to activate. Boots of speed

And like a shot, Fandral takes off ahead of Holly. Moving 60 feet

He then draws his cutlass and waits for the first one to approach.

DC 19 Will Save vs. Confusion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 (+4 bonus on saving throws made against bardic performance, sonic, and language-dependent effects.)

"I am waiting. Now who is the one who is racing ahead?"

Will: 1d10 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 19

Laara winces and smacks her head as the rasping moans echo in her head. She blinks her vision clear as the large undead floats forwards.

Thanks a ton Holly: that Good Hope saved me!

I love that spell. Hey Laara, just an item of note. You rolled a d10 instead of a d20 when making your saving throw.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Yami makes a dry smirk as the other party members dash ahead into the fray. A different mentality compared to the previous group, it appears. He strides forward to another tree for cover, and sets his eyes on the undead off in the distance. The wayang clears his throat and makes a short arcane gesture, and bellows in an almost supernaturally loud voice: "HALT!" The power of the word echoes through the wood, carrying along the magic of a spell towards the undead creatures.

Yami casts halt undead, targeting the Devourer, Bodak, and the Red Ragewight. DC 22 Will Save. In the event of spell resistance, Yami's CL on necromancy spells is 11.

d10s on saving throws... hard mode!

Despite Lara clearly having attracted the luck of Zyphus, her sheer force of will and Holly's blessing manage to keep her mind from clouding.

Yami knows an unnerving amount about these creatures... The Ragewights at the frontline... the large Devourer looking to add a few more souls to its collection... the Bodak lurking in the rear... Generally speaking, you can ask 1 question about each for every 5 you beat the DC by, but for now I'll just give you some... imminently pertinent information. You know... because energy drain sucks. The Ragewights are an awful lot like Cairn wights in that they are able to sap the lifeforce of their foes even when using their weapon to inflict wounds. The bodak is even worse... so much as meeting it's gaze can cause one's soul to be chipped away. The Devourer on the other hand

The Devourer and Ragewights all have energy drain... The Bodak on the other hand can cause negative levels with its gaze attack. Anyone within 30 ft of the Bodak is subject to the gaze. You also get 1 additional question about the Devourer.

SR check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The Devourer's otherworldly defenses cause Yami's spell to splinter and pass over the large flying undead.

Bodak: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Ragewight: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

The ragewight slows for a moment but continues to press its advance... the Bodak on the other hand freezes in place.

With a howl of fury, the ragewights rush forward, zigging and zagging around the dead trees as they rush forward to tear the party limb from limb, spirit from flesh. Double move for all of them.

The first to rush forward is met with a quick thrust from Fandral's blade, splintering already brittle ribs and tearing at old tough sinews.

Round 1/2:
Holly
Lara
Chak
Devourer (Big Red, 5 ft above ground)
Yami
Fandral
Bodak (Black, Halted!)
Ragewights (Red, Blue, Pink -20)
Exi and Starlight

Exi and Starlight both have dull grey ioun stones with Heightened Continual Flame on them, cast by Exi: spell level 5, caster level 9 (Exi can make these for other Pathfinders and each PC is allowed to have one such item in PFS, as an FYI to all). Exi casts False Life and Merge with Familiar on himself and Starlight every morning, recasting Merge with Familiar after 9 hours.
False Life Exi: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
False Life Starlight: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
--

Exi shares whatever he recalls about the foes with the party then begins casting Summon Monster V.

Starlight shares whatever she recalls about the foes with the party then gets out a scroll of Bone Fists.

Holly begins to dance and speaks an arcane word. Suddenly she dashes forth in a multi-hued rainbow of images, with her scimitar lashing out at the Ragewight as she passes it.

"You know you shouldn't try to fend them off all on your own."

Move action to start Battle Dance. Standard action to cast Bladed Dash.

Attack vs. Blue Ragewight: +1 Holy Adamantine Scimitar, Battle Dance )inspire Courage), Bladed Dash, Good Hope: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28
Damage: P/S, Good, Adamantine, Battle Dance (Inspire Courage), Good Hope: 1d6 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + (4, 6) = 28

Chak studies the closest ragewight and rushes forward with his nodachi in hand.

Study and charge.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35 Damage: 1d10 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

No, it's cool. Laara calls out as the party converges on the other ragewights several yards away. I got this one.

She then slides to the next of the undead beside her and lashes out with three quick jabs.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 = 24 for damage: 1d1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 17
Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26 for damage: 1d1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 18
Flurry Attack : 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34 for damage: 1d1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 17

AC is 30 this round. Attacks are magic, bludgeoning, and ghost touch if that matters.

Ok... now to resolve everything that happened when I slept...

Unexpected Strike vs Holly: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Exi begins a summoning spell as Holly leaps across the battlefield. The Ragewight, however, raises it's blade with supernatural speed and fury as the Dervish charges forward nearly impaling her. Thankfully, the blessings of the Dawnflower guide her steps and she avoids the thrust, instead driving her blade in a clean arc from shoulder to flank. Chak charges forward as well, driving his nodachi across from the other shoulder, leaving an X shaped wound on its chest.

Unexpected Strike vs Lara: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Lara closes in for a flurry of quick strikes, ducking under a quick slash before pummeling the wight.

Ray of Enfeeblement: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 13 - 4 = 21 Hits touch
Str Penalty: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Lasts 18 rounds, Fort DC 18 for half

The devourer ascends slowly as it approaches the front line. A pale gray ray shines down from its gaping chest, bathing Lara in the otherworldly glow and draining her strength away.

Round 2:
Holly
Lara
Chak
Devourer (Big Red, 5 ft above ground)
Yami
Fandral
Bodak (Black, Halted!)
Ragewights (Red -52, Blue -60, Pink -20)
Exi and Starlight (Summoning)

Fandral sees the advantage with Holly opposite him and lashes out with four lightning flash strike.

Bonuses:good hope+haset+flank
attack #1 vs blue: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 43
damage+precision: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 21
potential critical+bonuses+anatomist: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 32
extra damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

attack #2 vs blue: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 27
damage+precision: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 21

After delivering two solid strikes against blue, he moves on to pink.

attack #3 vs pink: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 27
damage+precision: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 19

attack #4 vs pink: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 17
damage+precision: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 16

Fandral, in a blur of fancy footwork and piercing thrusts, drops one of the Ragewights to the ground, hopefully finally at peace. One thrust takes out another splinter of bone and sinew from his second target, but his final thrust is deflected by a strong collar bone and misses any structural part of the creature.

Round 2:
Holly
Lara
Chak
Devourer (Big Red, 5 ft above ground)
Yami
Fandral
Bodak (Black, Halted!)
Ragewights (Red -52, Pink -39)
Exi and Starlight (Summoning)

Fort: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 = 21

Laara sucks in her chest as she just avoids getting nicked by the wight's lightning-fast swing. She smiles - only to slump as the floating devourer's beam strains her muscles.

So -5 Str penalty then. Could be worse, but I'm now encumbered :(
AC now down to 26 for this round (20 flat-footed still, 17 touch)

You don't recalculate your encumbrance under a strength penalty, penalties are the same as ability damage regarding effects.

Yami nods approvingly at his allies efforts in melee combat, though raises an eyebrow as the Devourer scores a point against Lara. Good thing I made those sketches earlier, those will come in handy now... he thinks to himself as he pulls out jet black rod etched with runes. The wayang weaves the rod through the air, causing ghostly images of Lara, Chak, Holly, and Fandral to appear before him. Yami utters several imperious arcane words as he pokes the images with his wand on their "arms" and "legs," causing the muscles in those areas to glow with power. With a sharp final swish of the rod, he utters a final word of power; causing light to arc from the images to their respective persons, enhancing their speed and reflexes as it connects.

Yami move action pulls out his lesser metamagic rod of reach and uses it to cast a reach haste spell on Lara/Chak/Holly/Fandral.

Laara: What Chak said.

The Ragewights strike back with fury rarely found amongst the dead.

Red vs Laara: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 171d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Pink vs Fandral: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Laara simply ducks and weaves, avoiding a pair of wild swings while Fandral deftly parries both attacks, scoring a quick opportunistic strike in between. 2 Panache used

With that, Exi's conjuration spell completes, and in front of here appears a...

Round 2/3:
Holly
Lara
Chak
Devourer (Big Red, 5 ft above ground)
Yami
Fandral
Bodak (Black, Halted ends round 12)
Ragewights (Red -52, Pink -58)
Exi and Starlight (Summon complete!)

Party Buffs:
Good Hope
Haste (Lara/Chak/Holly/Fandra) ends round 13

As Exi's summoning spell finishes a huge, distorted quadrupedal dinosaur appears, its body deformed and alien in nature.

Exi then recites another incantation while making magical gestures with his hands. Suddenly the monstrous creature before him doubles in size!

Exi summoned an Advanced (via Alien Summons hex from Dark Tapestry spirit) Celestial (template for good-aligned casters of Summon Monster) Ankylosaurus, then cast Animal Growth on it.

Starlight flies forward nearer the gargantuan monster and attempts to activate the scroll of Bone Fists in her hands.
UMD DC23, Good Hope: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 = 30
The bones of the creature’s joints grow thick and sharp, protruding painfully through the skin at the knuckles, elbows, shoulders, spine, knees, and the bony club on its tail grows sharper.

The monstrous mockery of an ankylosaurus roars at the evil Devourer and lumbers forward, striking with its massive tail.

modifiers: charging, augment summoning, advanced creature, animal growth, bone fists, smite evil
tail slap: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
bludgeoning damage: 4d6 + 42 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 1) + 42 = 51
DC31 WILL save or be dazed 1 round; full stat block including all modifiers is in this profile

Good to know! I think I do still take the damage penalty however, right? (Using Unchained Rogue ability for dex to damage, but believe Str penalties still would count. If not, add 2 to each hit here.)

Laara slides back around the damaged wight to make room for the sudden appearance of a massive dinosaur. She jabs once, twice, three times at the undead while keeping a vague eye towards the still motionless bodak.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32 for damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 18
Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 2 = 25 for damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 17
Attack flurry: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34 for damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 14

So, she calls out. Any thoughts on taking out eyeless over there before he gets close? Because if not, I've got an idea that's not not a bit reckless.

Stepped, so AC 30 this round (T 21, FF 20)

"I swear if I have to see these creatures again I am going to file a complaint with Valsin." Holly says while stepping towards the Ragewight. Her blade flashes forth against its flesh and bone.

Free action: maintain Battle Dance (inspire courage), Move Action: 5ft step, Swift Action: Arcane Strike, Fall Attack vs. Pink.

Attack #1: +1 Holy Adamantine Scimitar, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43
Damage #1: Magic, Good, Adamantine, P/S, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Good Hope, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 18 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 18 + (4, 2) = 27

Attack #2: +1 Holy Adamantine Scimitar, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Damage #2: Magic, Good, Adamantine, P/S, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Good Hope, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 18 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 18 + (6, 3) = 28

Attack #3: +1 Holy Adamantine Scimitar, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27
Damage #3: Magic, Good, Adamantine, P/S, Battle Dance (inspire courage), Good Hope, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 18 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 18 + (2, 6) = 29

Critical Hit Confirmation Roll for Attack #1: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31
Critical Hit Damage #1: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Critical Hit Confirmation Roll for Attack #2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Critical Hit Damage #2: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Laara, don't forget your haste attack; I think you would still be able to use it with flurry of blows? Not sure.

Laara and Holly utterly obliterate the remaining 2 ragewights as the dinosaur roars into being. The enormous tail swings down hard and slams into the flying devourer cracking bone and tearing chunks of rancid flesh from it's shoulders.

Immune to the daze effect.

Round 2/3:
Holly
Lara
Chak
Devourer (-51, Big Red, 5 ft above ground)
Yami
Fandral
Bodak (Black, Halted ends round 12)
Exi and Starlight (Summon complete!)

Party Buffs:
Good Hope
Haste (Lara/Chak/Holly/Fandra) ends round 13

Chak moves to where he can see both remaining foes and draws his longbow as he moves. Once at his destination he puts his nodachi away and swiftly studies the devourer.
