I read the spell; you guys can all see yourselves and each other.

Oh, well that's pretty handy then.

I know, right?

nitey nite!

Elgan rides upon Claws broad shoulder plate, in his current monkey form he bounces up and down in anticipation.

Nighters!

OK. Everyone's flying and invisible thanks to Invisibility sphere and Mass fly. Everyone also gets a tap from my Protection from evil and False life wands - +1 AC, +15 hit poits (an average result) and, most importantly, we're immune to charm spells.

"Let's get this show on the road. Stay close - drifting too far will leave you outside of the invisibility effect. And, since we're flying - forget the door. we'll go in through a window. Pip, can you fix up an illusion that will disguise us breaking the glass?"


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

No windows. Just the door. And gargoyles and such.

Emrael puts a hand on Claw's massive arm and stays near the creature as the group flies downward. She concentrates on what she can see and hear in the courtyard and relies on Claw for direction.

She has a +16 to Fly checks before taking Altai's spell's inherent bonus into account, so it's pretty natural for her at this point.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

I don't even know why I thought this place would have windows... Rephrase: "Pip, can you cover us opening the door with an illusion?"

Are the guys in the courtyard headed anywhere, or are they just popping out for a quick smoke?

Pip shrugs

"'Fraid I didn't pass Advanced Illusary Magik when I went to Wogharts"

No illusion magic here Señor


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

map

they're following the route marked by the red trail from 4, down to 3.

Far off there's a horn being sounded "Taroo! Taroo! Taroo!"


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

You guys are at the red square marked "x." or thereabouts.

The squares on this map are 20 by 20 feet.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Time for a quick distraction. Get ready to gently crack the door open and slip inside. Don't slam it behind us."

We drift over to the door in U-V 13. Once there, I burn Dust of twillight and summon 1d3+1=3 dire rats. They pop into existence out of sight in AL 17 and then charge our hooded friends. As they busy themselves with killing the rats, we sneak inside. In a place like this, having angry gross things crawl into view should be fairly unremarkable; hopefully the hoodies won't think much of it.

OK. It's the other two campaigns I'm in that are loaded with illusionist/bard types, then.

Nope, Pip is all about the singing. And the killing. Well, mostly the singing. Mostly.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Perched upon CLaw's shoulder plate, Elgan twitches briefly as the rats appear and swarm down the path. FO ra moment he looked very feline. But it's passed now.

Have Elgan's eyes always had vertical irises?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

The rats charge. The hooded guys see them, and start laughing. Merrily one of them runs up and punts one of the rats a good 20 feet; the rat shrieks.

Another one pulls a kukri and whacks away at the second rat.

The third one runs up and bites the third guy's leg. He screams, but he's trying to joke around with it....he picks the rat up with both hands and starts biting it in the head.

The other two laugh.

They chatter back and forth in an obscure tongue, these three merry rat killers.

The door......it's a massive doubledoor, 20 feet wide, 20 feet tall; however, there's a smaller set of 5 foot wide, 8 foot tall doubledoors cut into the massive doubledoors......these smaller doors open without any trouble.

They seem to be distracted with their game of rat killing.

Who does what?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

a picture explaining the hooded guys' mentality re: being charged by 3 dire rats.....

aside from the creepy "I'm going to pick the rat up and bite its face off" dealy-o.

Excellent. Distraction was all I wanted.

"Let's sneak in. Gjetost, Claw, watch your heads."

I'd suggest a badass with good Perception goes in first. Emrael, Satari and Elgan, followed by me and Pip, maybe? The big lugs come last.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Elgan hops off of Claw's shoulder and tippy toes forward, careful to keep with in the radius of the spell. He flows into a keen eyed hunting critter as he does so.

Per: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

new map.
map

You guys are entering where the red x is.

Theres a massive pit in the middle of this obvious temple worship hall.....and a walkway over the pit like a diving board.

To the north of the pit is an Elephant headed, starved humanoid statue, sitting in zazen like some morbid buddha; he's flanked by two statues of exotically armored humanoids bearing swords.

The room is unlit.

Need positions.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Presuming the red square is the center of our party, I'll take U23.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

The room feels cold, and your breath leaves smoky contrails.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Any way of locking the doors behind us?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

There's a bar that slides down into slats; it can be barred horizontally.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

V21, hand on katana, but not drawing it yet


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

right on.


Altai is in X23, about 20' up.
Claw is in Y-Z 23-24, also about 20' up.
Gjetost is in V-W 21-22 on the ground. He'll slide the bar into place once everybody's inside.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Right on.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Huzzah!


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

As we wait, I pop off a Detect magic. Any auras? Also, keep in mind that I have a permanent See invisible effect on myself.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Something's being cast.....I'll leave it at that until everybody's in position.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Elgan stays where he is,... so he has room once he decides what to turn into. :)


The Celestial Dragon

*bustles in* Sorry, sorry.

Satari-san is a pace ahead of Altai, in X22.


How about Pip floating 10' above ground in W24, safely hidden from anything in the pit by Gjetost's giant head?


Bard 8/ Troubadour of Stars 9 Epic Shredder

Sounds good to me. Pip will do his Inspire set up first round. That should get me to the next point where I can post


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Re: Altai's previous question; it's conjuration magic.

6 tarry demodands (marked as "t") appear in the room, 10 feet off the ground......

they don't seem to see any of you though.

Group's turn!!!


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

The kensai waits and watches the others of her party. Move past or attack?


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Hovering invisibly on the side of the group, Elgan resembles what you might picture a floating spirit of the forest to look like. He also glances at Altai for the lead,... move past, or attack first?

He takes a breath and prepares to summon the fury of nature,... just in case.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Ready?", Altai mouths at the other party members. He then casts a spell...

Area Greater dispel magic centered at the R-S 18-19 intersection. It encompasses the four easternmost demodands and sends them back home with a successful dispel check.

Check 1: 11+16=27.
Check 2: 8+16=24.
Check 3: 12+16=28.
Check 4: 14+16=30.

Obviously I hold the spell until everybody's ready. Gjetost will charge one of them once Altai casts his spell.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Emrael will nod and move to flank the spellcaster on the opposite side from his golem creature until she sees what the demodands do in response.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

The four disappear, dispelled.


The Celestial Dragon

"Very effective, master Altai. The best fight is the one you do not need to have."


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Get the last two! Claw will lock the gates behind us."

Initiative?


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

"On it chere'!" Elgan cries, his voice changing in mid-syllable, as he is already flowing into another form.

I'll have to decide which one later! :)


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

It's your groups' go, with respect to initiative.


Gjetost casually walks up to a demodand before swatting it with his no-dachi.

Move to AA-AB 20-21 before attacking the thing in AB 18. Attack roll 13+29-4(Power attack)=AC 38, damage 2d8+23+12(Power attack)=45. Damage is slashing and magical.


Advanced flesh golem shield guardian

Claw slides the door bolts shut behind the party.

No move. He also activates his Shield other ability.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Spoiler:

Spoiler:
demodand 1 down 35 hp

Gjetost attacks the tarry thing, and turns visible after throttling the outsider with his weapon.

reflex save 1d20 ⇒ 6


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Gjetost's weapon gets stuck in the creature's tarry covering. He can't attack with that weapon again until it's freed by making a successful grapple check.
