JZ's Carrion Crown - COMPLETE! (Inactive)

Game Master JamZilla

Religion: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (10) + 25 = 35

Hoovering at 5ft from the tower floor, the wizard tenses' up hearing the aged voice, from a figure before them, unknowing to him it's true power but knowing it's true wickedness and evil it will unleash on the world unless it's brought down

Holding his hands by his side ready to unleash his arcane might at what abomition is revealed before them.

Heroism, PoE, death ward, images 7, shield, fly

Jon looks around at the others and curses savagely, they were in a hopeless situation and One he did not think they could survive.
Drawing upon his powers Jon cries out as he floods himself with divine power and his form begins to expand as he is transformed. He could feel the divine might surging through him and he knew it would only buy him a little time.
Against the Tyrant he feared they had little chance of success, raising is hands he sends out a surge of power that covers them all.

I hope you are all ready, because this is the end. The end of everything we know, we have to stop the Tyrant , there is no other choice. But if we do manage to kill him, we destroy our way of life forever. Jon says sombrely, inside he feels sick, the rage has given way to a feeling of utter frustration and hopelessness.
i love you all dearly, it has been an honour to stand with you. he says as he grasps his blade and awaits the return of a God.

casting righteous might on myself and life bubble on everyone

Jon watches grimly as Adivion screams in agony and he feels no pity whatsoever, as the Tyrant emerges he gasps as the wave of dark energy slams into him sending him reeling backwards and as the unearthly voice of the Tyrant fills his ears he shudders at the sheer horror and power of it and everything he had faced up until this point paled in comparison.
Righting himself he stared at the twisted form of Adivion and with every ounce of will and rage he had he raised his blade and squaring his shoulders he faced the Tyrant.

Aroden is long gone Tyrant and you are being used. As are we all. Return to your slumber! there is no place in this world for you! Jon says simply, though he knows it is futile. He may as well tell the sun not to rise in the morning.

Knowledge roll - Markus is going to share this.

This is some kind of Juju Zombie. That means it retains it's intelligence and unlike normal zombies it is able to full attack and is not slow.

This is clearly not the Tyrant at full power, the dark energy of this place seems to be enhancing him over time, building up his power. The body still looks more or less like Adivion but there is nothing of him left.

The swirling energies also grant it concealment (20%)

It has channel resistance, is immune to cold and electricity and has spell resistance. Even in this reduced form, it will have significant spell-like abilities too.

Ahahaha! There is no place in this world But very soon it will be my world! the Tyrant says, the jaw hanging impossibly open.

I listened to the vile lies of Aroden once and his crusade cost me everything. The time I listen to wooooorms he sneers is long past.

Ok, we've put this off long enough. Let's get to it. Roll for initiative!

Round 1 - Tyrant

The Tyrant raises a pair of clawed hands and mutters a series of foul incantations. Dark magic swirls around them and he unleashes it in a blast of black energy.

Will save DC 21. Success means you take half damage and are not sickened.

Damage: 8d8 ⇒ (7, 8, 4, 8, 8, 6, 3, 8) = 52
Sickened: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The Tyrant looks down at his claws, confused and clearly frustrated.

I am weeeaaakk... he mutters.

Round 1 - Heroes

Will 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

The Tyrant unleashes a wave of neurotic energy that washes over Erek. His faith is strong and his will like iron. He gets his teeth in effort and resists. After a moment that lasts a lifetime the dark magic passes without effect.

"May Iomadae grant me the power to send you back to hell."

Without hesitation, he charges. He hurdles forward and smashes the Raven's Head into the Tyrant's torso.

Charge 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28

Dam 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Bane 4d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4) = 9

reflex 26

SR: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

With his arcane defense's boosted, Davos only feels part of the pain from the deadly spell that washes over him, summoning a powerful spell the wizard retaliates in kind

will: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Jon reels from the dark energy that burns into his demonic skin like acid but he has suffered worse and even though the pain sickens him he focuses his power and unleashes it upon the Tyrant.
Burn! Jon hisses and suddenly he erupts in a screaming conflagration as Jons hellfire rages all around him.

balefire: 15d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2) = 42

Also, is this guy an Evil Outsider?

Morbar SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Fail

Basically because of Erek's Stalwart ability, only Jon is affected

Will 1d20+19

The Tyrant unleashes a wave of neurotic energy that washes over Erek. His faith is strong and his will like iron. He gets his teeth in effort and resists. After a moment that lasts a lifetime the dark magic passes without effect.

"May Iomadae grant me the power to send you back to hell."

Without hesitation, he charges. He hurdles forward and smashes the Raven's Head into the Tyrant's torso.

Erek throws himself forward but though his swing is mighty, the essence of Tar-Baphon sways easily aside.

Jon reels from the dark energy that burns into his demonic skin like acid but he has suffered worse and even though the pain sickens him he focuses his power and unleashes it upon the Tyrant.
Burn! Jon hisses and suddenly he erupts in a screaming conflagration as Jons hellfire rages all around him.

Jon's burst of flame erupts around the Tyrant but it is nothing that he hasn't see before, and he easily avoids the worst of the blast.

Huh... We have SR due to Holy Aura Jam (assuming it applies here :P) - I would roll, but I do not know his modifiers :P

Also, is this guy an Evil Outsider?

This guy is 100% undead

Kendra howls in pain as the dark energy washes over her and she is forced to throw herself toward one side. She skids on the solid roof top of the tower and just catches herself on the edge as she tumbles over the side.

Her dress billows in the high wind and it is only a matter of seconds before she is ripped from the tower.

Markus watches on as the Tyrant unleashes his first spell. As it breaks against his holy protection he feels nothing, hope slowly returns all thought of what might happen at the end of this is pushed out. "I'll be damned if I just stop now, no matter what happens after this I'm getting some answers." He bellows out.

Moving next to Cara and granting her a divine power. Bit of luck on Cara

Caradwen smiles as she feels the Lucky touch of Markus - "You do know how to make a girl feel welcomed" - then unleashes with all she's got.

This time I am using the Adamantine blanched arrows... Just in case. Also... Caradwen SMITE!! :D

Arrow 1, Manyshot: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Arrow 1, Manyshot, Luck: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40 <- This (I think only the first arrow counts double against Undead, or do they both?)
Damage arrow 1: 2d6 + 30 ⇒ (3, 4) + 30 = 37
Damage arrow 2: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (2, 1) + 24 = 27

Arrow 2: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
Arrow 2, Luck: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38 <- This
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 3) + 24 = 32

Arrow 3: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33
Arrow 3, Luck: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37 <- This
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (4, 1) + 24 = 29

Arrow 4: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34 <- This
Arrow 4, Luck: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (1, 6) + 24 = 31

Arrow 5: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 <- This
Arrow 5, Luck: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 1) + 24 = 30

Then she realizes the danger her friend is in - "Kendra! Hold tight!"

"Damn! I'm on me way girl!" - Morbar roars, and flies to grab Kendra, easily picking her up - "Yer safe lass, don't ye worry. Now where am I gonna set ye?"

Jam, any place where she maybe can be more safeguarded from the wind?

Jam, my Bow has the 'Seeking' enchantment - not sure if it is relevant to those rolls :D

Yeah that's absolutely relevant

Nice shooting Cara

All you're really doing is painting a target on yourself Cara:)

Pffffft. The curse of beautiful women ;)

damn I didn't see you post before I posted! Is she off off?

No, Morbar got her

Round 2 - Enemy

Markus SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 Success
Erek SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 Success
Jon SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 Success

Davos SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 Success

Fire damage: 4d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 6) + 16 = 33

Markus Fort save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 Success
Erek Fort save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 Success
Jon Fort save: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 = 20 Fail
Cara Fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Fail
Davos Fort save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 Fail

Look at the rolls above and apply whatever save bonuses you have. If you fail you take the damage above and are knocked prone. If you pass you take half damage and are not not knocked prone

The Tyrant steps back and raises his clawed hands. He draws down a column of blistering air out of the storm that lashes at you and begins to sear your flesh.

He then levels a claw at Erek and sends a cascade of icy shards ripping through him and Markus as his power continues to grow.

Erek SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 Success
Markus SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 Success
Erek Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 Success
Markus Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 Fail

Cold damage: 15d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4, 4, 4, 6, 3, 3, 4, 1, 1) = 57

Standard action to cast Sirocco, swift action to cast Cold Ice Strike. Erek, you take half damage from that second spell.

If the growing power of the Tyrant, fed by the black smoke that drift into him from the tower was not bad enough, shapes begin to descend toward you out of the storm, spirits of cultists and creatures long dead.

Round 2 - Heroes

Knowledge Religion for the new creature on the board

Shout out if you need healing, I'm going to delay a little before acting

Religion: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

is there anything i can do with the machine? Also I know you’ve rolled the saves, any chance I can cast Emergency Force Sphere to avoid damage, would have done it as not in great shape

Erek weather's the storm of magic and steps up to the Tyrant again. This time he strikes at it several times. Each blow ringing out like a hammer.

J. Ignore my last post. The site went down mid way through it so I haven't edited the modifiers. Will repost that round' s actions tomorrow.

Bane 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 5) = 17

So, did Caradwen hit or not?

Also, did Morbar manage to set Kendra down in a 'safe' place or not? Will wait for this one to decide Morbar actions.

Last but not least, what is the save DC Jam, so we know if we failed or not? I am assuming it is DC25? Cara's current Fort Save with buffs sits at +14, so she would pass that, and take 17 damage?

"He's still standing boys - Hammer him!" - Caradwen roars, unleashing again.

Longbow 1, Manyshot: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Waiting to find out about Cara and also wanting to know about this creature before I take my turn.

25 was the save Cara, yes. I just took the values from everyone's stat lines. If you could update those that would be great.

You did hit pretty significantly but Fast Healing started dealing with those rules immediately

Davos, you aren't going to learn anything from a glance 50 feet away, you need to examine the machine up close to learn anything useful about it. At the moment it looks like a huge collection of gears and cogs and arcane energy

Only one hit on that last volley Cara

Erek continues to thrash with the Raven's Head but to his immense frustration he cannot land a blow.

You know that you are going to take damage every round from Sirocco if you are not resistant to energy or move out of the area of effect by the way

Markus and Davos I think you have encountered one of these creatures previously - A Witchfire

Thanks for clarifying Jam. Also:

Also, did Morbar manage to set Kendra down in a 'safe' place or not? Will wait for this one to decide Morbar actions.

Markus shouts out what the new creature is making sure everyone knows what it is. "Take out whatever comes up here quickly!" He then waves his hand attempting to dispell Sirrocco.

Dispell: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

It's a relative term. She's standing on the edge of this god-forsaken tower and ot going to fall. But is she safe....? <Shrugs>

Morbar went to grab her - so he has her secured. And then he was looking for a safe place to set her down - I asked 'Jam, any place where she maybe can be more safeguarded from the wind?' :D

Do you mean Morbar set her on the edge of the tower?

Jon is slammed to the ground by the fierce wind but his own power protects him from the searing heat and looking up from the ground at the Tyrant he reaches out toward him and drawing upon his most potent abilities he unleashes his spell, twisting and reversing the fundamental forces of gravity.

casting reverse gravity on the Tyrant. He will “fall” 250 feet into the air, I believe there is no save and no spell resistance

stay out of the area he was in or you will follow him!
We need to disable the damn machine! Jon shouts out to the others as he forces himself to stand

I'm assuming you are placing it in such a way as to catch the Tyrant and miss everyone else, yes?

The Tyrant is suddenly ripped from his feet by the power of Jon's spell. He streaks upwards into the air as though he were plummeting to the ground and within moments he disappears into the storm clouds above.

Davos meanwhile hurtles forward himself, out of the burning sirocco and toward the machine. As he gets closer he begins to study it, it's complexity and brilliance but then he slams into something invisible!

Just like at Schloss Caromac, the machine is encased in force!

Davos, you can see that it is certainly a machine that amplifies energy, Adivion was not lying about that. But without getting to it and beginning to manipulate it, you cannot determine what, if anything, you can do to shut it down.
