confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 16 that's good

Alwyn continues to sing but a bit strangely and suddenly the fighter he sings about yells "OUCH!! to everyone's surprise; as the zebub takes a bite out of his shoulder. Focusing his confusion into rage for the moment as he attacks the zebub wanting to remove this stain from existence.

****Edit - forgot about strength penalty added penalty to rolls

Well, i think i could touch 2 people and myself, if adjacent to me?

Sounds reasonable to me. OK so both Mohktar and Pratavh have it too.

Having few options to help deal with the ghost left to him Pratavh generates a field of insight to his allies.

Standard Act: Activate Aura of Precience (+2 insight to attacks/damage/saves/skills/abil checks).

The oni cackles evilly and a crackling bolt of darkness spits out of it's toothed mouth to hit Pratavh! Dread Bolt: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) = 13

Pratavh invokes the power of the void to grant +2 to most things!

Alwyn slashes powerfully at the Zebub and almost cuts it in two. Somehow it's still flying however!

The large shadow continues it's assault on Mohktar! The creature swipes and Mohktar tries to dance back, as the protection from evil spell deflects the horror, but it pushes past his arcane defenses to sap his strength with a blast of icy cold that instantly numbs the Monk's body!
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14Strength Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The small shadow sends it's undead claws deeply into the cowering boy who cries out and falls silent!
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19Strength Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The ghostly sorceress laughs evily along with the Oni and points at Pratavh while casting a spell! A an arc of acid leaps from her skeletal fingers, to soak Pratavh, it then arcs to Lilly and Mohktar!

Pratavh Reflex Save DC 18: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24 -> Pass
Lilly Reflex Save DC 18: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 -> Pass
Mohktar Reflex Save DC 18: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19 -> Pass
Damage Pratavh: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3) = 21
Damage Lilly: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 2) = 15
Damage Mohktar: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

All three manage to avoid most of the acid blast but some soaks through burning them painfully!

Shiko decides to attack himself again 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Oo wtf that's strange! It rolled a total of 24 when I was editing the post. No in that case you did not take any damage. Yeah they should stack since IC = competence bonus and the other one is an insight bonus.

Mohktar, grits his teeth and spins like a dervish with fist and foot in an attempt to put the shadow to rest. Beneath the surface of his calm waters, he knows their attention should be fully on the foul Oni.

Wow, two crit threats on an incorpreal shadow, 'natch... Then again, 50 pts of damage in the hits is not too bad...

Been occupied today, seems i've missed some action.
Wow...

Lilly hacks with her sword swiftly at the Zebub, and her hasted vs the woman is a touch spell.

If that's an invalid spell vs her, it'll be sword dmg for Dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 3 + 2 + (2) = 18

Lilly that requires quicken spell meta magic to do.

Lilly shreds the Zebub and lands a hit on the ghostly woman who disconcertingly laughs. Lilly's weapon did less damage than she might have hoped...

Shikyomaru is too confused to do anything but accidentally hurt himself.

The Zebub fighting Pratavh flails around uselessly, unable to land a blow.

Hasted attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Pratavh makes the ghostly sorceress easier to hit and harm. She haughtily sneers at Pratavh and laughs as if possessed by madness!

The oni finally struggles free of it's bonds with a cackle!
Break Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Alwyn finds the Zebub hard to strike as it lurches unpredictability, but one hit lands home dropping it!

The badly wounded greater shadow lands a glancing blow on Mohktar, numbing him instantly.

The smaller shadow turns on Shikyomaru, but misses!

The Ghostly Sorceress moves back slightly laughing like an ethereal lunatic all the way. She points to Lilly and utters a guttural word of arcane power! Lilly feels the call of madness but with a great mental effort she throws it off, shaking her head clear!

Nice attack Lilly

Ouch. Lets just double check the maths here.

Lilly dmg:
1d8 = weapon
+3 = 16 str
+3 = ?
+2 = inspire
+6 = ?
+1d4 = ?

Shikyomaru dmg:
1d8 = weapon
+4 = 20-1 str
+4 power attack
+1 weapon enhancement
+2 inspire courage
+2 Aura of Prescience
= 13, did I miss a buff?

Power Attack should be +6, 2 handing the katana

+3 inspire? 1d4 fire.

@Shikyomaru ah right cool. Don't you also multiple str by 1.5?
@Lilly inspire is not +3 till level 11. Where did the +6 come from? Why 1d4 fire - the flaming enchantment is +1d6

+6 is power attack. You've seen me use it plenty in falcon's hollow. ;)
Edit: my power attack should be +4 instead of +6, since i'm short 2 BaB.

I don't mind you all doing lots of damage, I just want to know where it comes from. It's quite easy to add things which don't stack by mistake. Anyway inspire is +2 :) Also this is basically the second combat so it's not surprising there a few little kinks to work out.

Lilly wipes the smile off the spirit woman's face with a savage attack. An attack that would have outright killed a human, but the ghostly woman has not be a human for a very long time, still her laugh turns into a ghostly wail that rattles the windows... Incorporeal undead ftw. No she's not a banshee.

Shikyomaru's blade shreds the shadow which dissipates into several pools of inky darkness which rapidly fade into nothingness...

The remaining Zebub attacks Pratavh fluttering around annoyingly. The first attack is turned by Pratavh's shielding but the second one allows the nuisance to bite his arm!

Mohktar watches as the shadow's raking some comes at him. Time slows, the monk sees the attack and allows his instincts to take over, slipping to the side to dodge away. (Avoid Attack)

He spins and counters and the monk strikes back!

Mohktar's round kick causes the shadow to dissipate! You may have 1 move action back.

If I'm reading dispel magic and the moonstruck DC correctly she's lvl 9 and it works, barely

"ARGH!!!! Now you shall...... Thank you .... friend"

Pratvah's spell clearing Alwyn's mind of the sorceress's confusion spell and the Bard turns his attention to the Zebub that is attacking Pratvah. Silvery flashes invade the demon's space.

Yeah, I'm doing 1.5 str, but I didn't know the aura applied to damage rolls too... so the bonus is +17 total.

It's all fun and games until Mohktar dissipates your Greater Shadow...

Mohktar moves to back up Lilly against the bad lady.

Mohktar sprints to back Lilly up!

Pratavh manages to remove the affliction that had gripped Alwyn's mind, if only barely for the compulsion was strong!

The Oni flies in cackling and tries to bite Lilly, but not before she slashes out at it, but it's too nimble! It tries to bite her, but it's too far out of position. Mohktar take advantage of this by landing a solid punch!

Been a real busy day at work, although I'm home now - should be able to post.

Mohktar pummels the spirit repeatedly, she seems shocked that his fists hurt her so. She snarls her defiance but not before Lilly channeling the power of heaven causes the spells fueling the ghostly sorceress's unlife to fray and come undone. You see demonic hands appear out from several blood red gates that grab hold of the shrieking woman, who frantically screams and tries to escape but to no avail, their merciless grip is like iron. A hideous hellish landscape is briefly visible as a larger portal appears and the woman is dragged away sobbing and screaming! Slowly the portals fade before rapidly vanishing, leaving a feint whiff of sulfur! The hideous Oni mask falls to the floor and crumbles into dust.

Nothing happens for a long moment, everything is still before you notice something very strange happen. The house starts to get brighter by increments, and grime and detritus from the battle starts disappearing. Damage done to the walls starts to repair itself, and the very air seems to change, reminding you more of a pine forest after the rain rather than a midden as before.

COMBAT OVER

Oho, i'm gonna have fun with that info.

Lilly's eyes are no short of surprise at the sudden hell and damnation scene unfolding. She's shortly silent.
"Well good riddance!..Though i wouldn't wish it upon people. You guys alright?"

Seeing the body of Pradip, Alwyn seems uncharacteristically moved and cast heal to see if anything can still be done for the little one. "No!"

heal check: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8 Unfortunately he is unable to do much with the information, conflicted as he is with the revelation the 'he' was a 'she' and a kitsune on top of that.

Is the kid actually dead or is that a typo Fang?

Hopefully, i just removed my extra about the kid after a reread that said 'body'.

Very dead, he had 9 str and was drained of 11 str. Also "he" was female kitsune sorceress. The diary might contain some useful info :)

Pratavh, seeing the child is dead, says a brief prayer for the girl. Hirati, on the other hand, flies to the girls side and starts nudging her, "Fox girl? Wake up fox girl. Please wake up." Realizing the girl isn't waking up, Hirati begins crying as she flies into Pratavh and clings to his chest, "Bring her back Pratavh, please bring her back, I will do anything, I will be a good girl and not cause trouble ever again, just please bring her back" Pratavh just holds Hirati, "I am afraid that is beyond my powers to deal with Hirati, I am sorry." He looks to the others, "Would any of you wish to have her brought back? I will pitch in a significant amount of the cost to do so."

Alwyn looks up to Pratavh, "Yes, I would pitch in as well."

Oddly the smells of cooking come from the kitchen, it actually smells quite nice - like somebody or something is cooking bread.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

The delicious smell of something cooking in the kitchen slowly draws Alwyn back out of his preoccupation with the little one's slowly chilling body. Gently laying the kitsune down, he follows his nose, noticing as he goes that the house is brighter than it was when they arrived. "Uh guys you might want to see this...." Pointing towards the small blackboard with its apology.

Remembering the diary, Alwyn pages through it to see if anything is legible.

Lilly was sad the little one had died, kicking over a piece of junk lying about out of frustration.

"Hm? Something up?"

She sees the chalk's writing.

..."It's you, isn't it fox girl?
Do you want to depart or would you want to live again? We..."i", promised to protect you, in all the commotion we failed."

The death of their charge weighs heavily on Mohktar. In his world, life and death is a dance. Balance and position and emotion as the two commit to the music of the universe. For mortals, such a dance requires care. One misstep and a person could find themselves trampled under. All the practice and education and passion with which one took to the dance determined the outcome. When death takes the lead and the music stops, what did your attentions to life determine about your fate? Ultimately, it is the dancer's responsibility to mind their steps.

Mohktar whispers an offertiry prayer to Pharasma to ferry the dead to the other side and beyond the reach of whatever curse the house possessed to bind souls to it.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

At Lilly's inquiry, Mohktar rests a gentle hand on her shoulder. "We, promised." He emphasizes. "What is the nature of this place that it binds souls to its timbers? Are we to see the nature of that bound soul in the appearance of this place?" He gestures to the redecorated home, the brighter look and feel of the place.

@GM: Does Mohktar still have the -2 to Str? I want to make sure I work it into RP and also adjust his stats accordingly.

I've been super busy again at work today. @Mohktar yes all str drain from the shadows needs to be healed.

The diary contains an account of how Pradip and his extended family came to be in the city. They grew up in the countryside where they were mistrusted and discriminated against. They traveled to Nissan in the hopes of a better life.

Initially things looked up for half starving they found a refuge of sorts in the azuth house. The house sensed their needs and provided food and shelter and they stayed here for several winters. The house had a number of disconcerting properties that made long term habitation difficult. For example when they woke up each morning the house wasn't always in the same place or even city. The layout also changed from time to time, growing when more people were stating and shrinking at other times.

The food and decoration would change based on some inscrutable schedule seemingly influenced by the current guests's home nations.

About six months ago disaster struck, a sorceress of some power called Condeleeza turned up blooded and bruised. The house duly cared for her and based on her powerful need to kill in order to avoid being dragged to hell (contracts written in blood are bad news) it attempted to shield her as best it could.

Condeleeza started killing guests and Pradip and her fellow foxes tried to confront her. They were outmatched and she outright killed several of them and enslaved the rest. She forced them to steal or lure people into the trap so Condeleeza could slay them to sate the contract. Slowly Condeleeza killed Pradip's family, one every time they rebelled and eventually only she was left.

Condeleeza had gone insane by this time, driven mad by the foul worship of Delevi. Believing she would become closer to that goddess, she imbibed a huge quantity of acid in a foul rite. After an excruciating death she was rewarded with unlife, tied to the house.

Pradip mentions several times that she tried to kill herself rather than obey but she lacked the courage and was soundly beaten. She laments that hell surely waits for her for aiding and abetting a monster.

Still holding a distraught Hirati gently, Pratavh reads through the journal with everyone. He is rather astounded by what he deduces from it though. When he speaks, it is very quiet, almost as if in shock, "I think we may have a problem, or possibly a lucky break, it depends on your point of view I suppose. We are no longer on the material plane, at least I do not believe so, I believe we have entered a demi-plane when we stepped into the house, or possibly onto the grounds themselves. It is possible we will not return to where we were when we leave here." He begins murmuring to himself and taking notes, "This place could be very useful, I wonder if I could someone make a way to access it at will from wherever I am at a given time. Hmmm, maybe I could find a way to anchor a doorway to it, temporarily of course, or maybe..." His mumbled words become increasingly quiet as he talks to himself.
