KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

Displacement on Carina: 1d100 ⇒ 79

Headed to work, and not wanting to delay things til after I get home, so here's the two possible actions I'll take. If Carina bombs and dispels the ice wall separating the two sides of the party, I defensively cast eagle's splendor (DC 19), spend 2 APs to buy Greater Spell Penetration, and defensively cast slow (DC 21). Slow (DC 18 Will save with eagle's splendor) should cover all the devils except the two on the far right. (One of which is already slowed, the other is probably close to being Tanithed to death)

defensive casting: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
defensive casting: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Spell resistance checks, clockwise from the un-slowed barbed devil.
Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 4 = 321d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 4 = 281d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 4 = 241d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 4 = 22

If Carina doesn't dispel the wall, I defensively cast cat's grace (DC 19) and mirror image (DC 19) on myself. Both succeed, using the above defensive casting rolls. Mirror image gets 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 images.

I also continue DoD and Dance of 23 Steps.

Good hope lasts 89 rounds, (eagle's splendor lasts 90 rounds, slow lasts 9 rounds) or (cat's grace lasts 90 rounds, mirror image lasts 90 rounds).

AC is 27/18/18 with haste & dance of 23 steps active, or 29/20/18 if cat's grace is cast.

Tanith steps over unleashes a flurry of punches against the devil targeting Farrukh. On the second punch, he drives his fist through the bone creature's neck, snapping it in two.

He redirects his last blow on the devil targeting him and Carina, delivering a heavy hit.

Bone Devil AoO on Farrukh: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 1 = 24

The bone devil swipes at Farrukh, but not quick enough to stop him.

"Okay," the barbed devil mutters. "Should have seen that coming."

Astraden, Eben (waiting on Carina's trigger) and Carina are up.

Those weren't punches. Those were chops because the big ones were 10 feet off the ground.

Five feet off the ground, actually (otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach them). Punches, chops, kicks at the shins, it all kills them.

By 'chop' I mean reach weapon aka bardiche.

I suppose that is somewhat different.

Actually, something was just pointed out to me.

Rodrigo, you do remember that Astraden warned you all not to teleport, right (you got anchored)?

Are we still going with the action point rule that you have to choose to get a feat at the beginning of your turn? If so, I will pick up Quick Channel. If not, I'll hold off until I know the results of my attack on the barbed devil. [8/10]

No pressure Carina, but I think I'm also going to delay my actions until after your turn, just in case you can drop the wall and I can heal more people. If you manage it I'll also change my 5' to move southeast instead of south.

Astraden steps forward and tries to grab the hamatula, the violet tinge of the light intensifying as her hand nears the spines. "We have a right to local control. Get off my plane," she growls as the barbs pierce her ashen skin.

Touch dispel law (good hope, haste): 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 21
Caster level check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Spine damage (on me): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 [23/80]
If those both hit, the devil must make a DC 18 Will save or be driven back to its home plane.

The priestess' wounded hand retreats to her mask, and she releases a burst of energy that heals her allies without closing the wounds of any bone devils.

Quick Channel positive energy (healing): 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 6, 1, 1) = 21 [4/6] [44/80] If the wall is up, this heals Astraden, Eben, and Clunk (I exclude the devils that are in line of effect). If the wall is down, this heals Astraden, Eben, Carina, Clunk, Tanith, and the southern barbed devil.

Round 4: Spend an AP for Quick Channel (no action), five-foot step (no action), discharge touch spell (standard action), and quick channel healing (move action). Chaos hammer lasts 3 rounds and copycat lasts 7 rounds.

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 2 = 12

Astraden shoves her hand onto the devil's form, ignoring the painful spurs. The hamatula's form shakes and pixilates as her magic takes hold. Its eyes widen. Tith a pinging sound, the devil vanishes.

Carina and Eben are up.

Round 4: Actions
Full-Round Action: Attempt to dispel the ice walls around me!

With Tanith taking care of the devils around her, Carina opts to focus her efforts on dispelling the ice walls separating the party.

Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 = 26 On wall next to me.
Dispel Check?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Hasted Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 1 = 20 On wall next to me.
Dispel Check?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25 On wall next to me.
Dispel Check?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
AP Boost! *Dispel Check*: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11 Final Result: 21!

Actually, something was just pointed out to me.

Rodrigo, you do remember that Astraden warned you all not to teleport, right (you got anchored)?

No, clearly I did not remember that. So I need to change my action?

You might want to. If Rodrigo does attempt the spell anyways, it fails.

Well hopefully this works instead.

Rodrigo carefully withdraws down and away from the devil, trying to avoid its reach.

Withdraw action, 120 feet. Should be able to go diagonally down the first square to avoid its reach.

Okay, Astraden will indeed spend that action point, if the rules would have allowed her to postpone the expenditure. KC, are the walls still up? (Are Carina and Tanith healed?)

"Nice one, Astraden!" Eben calls encouragingly as the priestess single-handedly takes out the most obnoxious of the devils.

Slight addendum to my action this round: since I'm not otherwise using a move action, Eben retrieves his gravity bow wand after casting his spells.

Patience, small Astrhopper.

Carina's bombs strike the wall of ice, but the wall remains stubbornly in place.

Eben casts some spells upon himself and Astraden looses a burst of healing energy. Clunk glances down as its damaged gears are healed before they can regenerate naturally. "Strange. Please don't do that again."

Round 5: Clunk

The inevitable darts to the side and stares at the nearest devil. Spectral chains of solid violet hue fly straight at the creature facing Eben and Astraden.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
SR: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Will Save: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 = 14

The devil freezes up, paralyzed. Clunk nods decisively and springs over where the dismissed barbed devil was to confront the one remaining.

Round 5: Devils

The hamatula glances south where Farrukh has run, eyes narrowing, then zeroes in on the inevitable bearing down on it.

"Om reduceras till en, reträtt till torn." It snaps its fingers. "Fortsätta stör dessa—"

Infernal: "If reduced to one, retreat to tower. Continue harrying these—"

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

There is a pinging sound as the devil vanishes, reappearing a couple hundred feet south next to Farrukh.

"Hand over the fragment," it demands, scowling.

Back up north, the two remaining bone devils exchange looks.

The one up above the wall turns invisible as it begins to chant softly to itself. The one next to Carina and Tanith, meanwhile, switches targets.

Claw/Claw/Bite/Tail @ Tanith: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 - 2 = 211d20 + 14 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 - 2 = 311d20 + 14 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 - 2 = 311d20 + 14 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 1 - 2 = 24 Tanith, your AC isn't up to date, but it looks like the last three at least hit.

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 63d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 5 = 15

Tanith takes 33 damage, or 18 if a 24 misses him (remember Haste).

The paralyzed bone devil struggles to ignore Eben's monologue and break free of the spell.
Will vs. Paralysis: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 = 20

And it does, jerking back into motion once again. Its eyes narrow to slits.

Round 5: You are up!

Tanith's AC is mostly up to date. It's 32 with haste. It looks like two of those missed due to Dirge of Doom. Thanks Eben!

How did you get mage armor and ironskin? Neither has a 24-hour duration, and it's been a day since the encounter with Niniane the Quasit. It's difficult to search for when you last used them, but you don't seem to have cast either during or directly before this combat.

Mage armor is a 'first thing in the morning' buff along with Carina's shield other. Both are extended with my extend rod so unless we're ambushed at 4am or something I assume they're always up. I put up ironskin the first round of combat.

The hamatula glances south where Farrukh has run, eyes narrowing, then zeroes in on the inevitable bearing down on it.

"Om reduceras till en, reträtt till torn." It snaps its fingers. "Fortsätta stör dessa—"

Infernal: "If reduced to one, retreat to tower. Continue harrying these—"

[dice=Cast Defensively]1d20+16

There is a pinging sound as the devil vanishes, reappearing a couple hundred feet south next to Farrukh.

"Hand over the fragment," it demands, scowling.

Does it not understand how its own fear ability works?

"Nuh-uh!" Farrukh says, wide-eyed, and flees again in a different direction entirely.

Exit, stage right. Withdraw, 140 feet to the right.

Although technically this MAY count as an occasion where I cannot flee, so that means I can turn around and fight. But that's pushing it. =)

Ah, I forgot about the extend rod. Sounds good.

Tanith fends off two of the bony devil's attacks and then smirks as the rest scrape harmlessly of Rodrigo's layer of force and his own iron-like flesh.

"Go back to Hell!" the big man roars before bringing his blessed weapon around for another series of cleaving blows.

Primary (haste, favor): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 37
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (3) = 34

Iterative: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 31
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (3) = 28

Haste: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 25
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (4) = 35

Nice.

Confirming: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 35
Extra Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 9 + 3 = 26

Confirming Again: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 23
Extra Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (1) = 33

"I can't cast that spell again to smother the fear. Clunk can you catch up with Farrukh? Where'd Rodrigo go?"

"That is difficult. He is moving very fast. But I will try."

Tanith hacks the devil before him utterly to pieces with a single brutal blow.

Hm. Well. All the un-slowed monsters are dead, so guess last round worked out just as well with me not going overboard to pull that off. Okay, then...

Eben mutters as the ice wall fails to come down, leaving him literally with his back to a wall and a bone devil directly in front of him. "Guess we're going to have to do this the hard way, then..." he says, waving his wand, dropping it, shaking his rod, dropping that, and then drawing his bow.

Continue Dirge of Doom. Cast gravity bow from my wand as a standard action. Drop wand. Defensively cast eagle's splendor on myself as a swift action. Drop rod. Draw bow as a move action. Activate Dance of 23 Steps as a free action.

cast defensively (DC 19): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Good hope lasts 88 rounds, cat's grace lasts 89 rounds, mirror image lasts 89 rounds, eagle's splendor lasts 90 rounds, gravity bow lasts 10 rounds.

AC is 27/18/18 with haste, cat's grace, and Dance of 23 Steps active. Mirror image has 6 images remaining.

Round 5: Actions
Full-Round Action: Keep trying to dispel the ice walls!

An increasingly frustrated Carina throws more anti-magic bombs at the ice barriers.

Hasted Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 = 19
Dispel Check?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 On wall next to me.

If this is enough to dispel the barrier:

She then turns her ire on the visible bone devil and starts tossing force bombs.

Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27
Damage (PBS): 5d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 1, 3) + 3 + 1 = 17

Ranged Touch Attack (PBS, Precise, Haste): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10

Unfortunately, her last bomb goes off-target.

DC 17 Reflex Save or the bone devil gets knocked prone.

Carina finally manages to dispel the wall and hits the recently de-paralyzed devil with a blast of force.

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 2 = 13

It hits the ground with a cracking sound.

Rodrigo and Astraden are up.

Astraden runs through the trees towards Farrukh, touching the hilt of her rapier and causing violet fractals to smoke from the sheath. "Hamatula, I'm coming for you, too!"

[0/1] I provoke from the bone devil nearest me, though I have copycat up. Current AC is accurate with haste.

Round 5: Use supernatural chaos blade ability on my rapier (standard action) and 60-foot move (move action). Chaos hammer lasts 2 rounds, copycat lasts 6 rounds, and chaos blade lasts 4 rounds.

Rodrigo sees the barbed devil chasing after Farrukh (and coming in his general direction as well), and decides it's time to call a friend. His hands fly through the familiar arcane gestures as he calls out in celestial. His cry is answered with a roar as a celestial dire lion leaps into the material and pounces on the devil.

Bite: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 = 201d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 8 = 23
Claws: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 = 361d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 8 = 221d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 2 = 231d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 8 = 20
Rakes: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 = 241d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 8 = 221d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 2 = 181d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 8 = 22
Its AC is 13 this round.

The lion stumbles and actually rolls mid-charge. It rolls poorly. It does catch the barbed devil off-guard enough for one strike, however. Fortunately, it's a bloody one.

Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage to Lion: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Lion takes 13 damage from the barbs.

Technically, celestial lions don't treat their damage as Good, but it makes sense that it would be Good, so we'll let it bypass DR.

AoO: 1d2 ⇒ 1
AoO: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 2 = 24 Damage: 3d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 5 = 12

Make a Fortitude save, DC 20, or be poisoned for 1d3 ⇒ 2 Strength damage.

The sting lashes out as Astraden turns and runs off.

Round 6: Clunk

Clunk lets out a long sigh. It begins to sprint after Farrukh, as Tanith advised. "Al'Khatel, please shrug off the spell. You look extremely silly."

Round 6: Devils
The barbed devil attempts to ignore the slavering monster next to it to cast a spell. "Disgusting celestials."

Its spell fizzles. The devil grimaces. "Revolting."

Meanwhile, the bone devil above finishes chanting. Nothing happens.

"Drat," says the invisible fiend.

The last bone devil zeroes in on the last available target: Eben MacTeague, who still won't shut up.

Its stinger lashes out, destroying one of Eben's images. It sighs.

Round 6: You are up!

"Noooooooooooooooooooo! Farrukh says, almost mockingly.

This time, he tears into a flat run.

Another 210 feet for the Run action.

Rodrigo watches as the lion continues to attack the devil.

Bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 271d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 8 = 19
Grab: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37
Claws: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 281d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 8 = 201d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 281d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 8 = 23
If grab succeeds the above claws are at -2 to hit, and the below rakes activate.
Rakes: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 - 2 = 321d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 8 = 221d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 2 = 141d6 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 8 = 20

Having said his piece, Tanith steps over to smash the devil harassing Eben.

Primary (haste, favor): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 37
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (2) = 34

Iterative: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 30
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (4) = 28

Haste: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 34
Damage (good aligned): 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 9 + 3 + (4) = 34

Confirming: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 18
Extra Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 9 + 3 = 30

I think Tanith just Tanithed the devil bugging me out of existence. If it's still there, I'll attack it, but otherwise...

Eben looks up, toward where he just heard an invisible devil unwisely speak. "Hey, devil on my shoulder, where are you?"

Perception to pinpoint a square it's in: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 = 28

If that fails to turn up anything, what's the current distance between myself and the remaining hamatula? It's basically off the map, right? If I move 60 feet in its direction, will it be within a range increment (110 feet) or so of my longbow? Might be worth chasing it & using a dimensional lock arrow to keep it in place.

Yes, you could move within reach—it's 90' off the map, if I recall rightly.

Eben feels a breeze on the back of his neck. The devil seems to be roughly thirty feet up, above the wall.

The massive lion tackles the barbed devil, ignoring the painful barbs. The hamatula is bleeding black ichor all over. It can't survive this for much longer. Of course, neither can the brutally impaled celestial lion.

Rodrigo's Damages: 1d8 + 9 + 1d6 + 9 + 1d6 + 9 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (5) + 9 + (3) + 9 + (5) + 9 = 51
Barb Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1d8 + 6 + 1d8 + 6 + 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (8) + 6 + (7) + 6 + (1) + 6 = 47

Lion has taken 60 damage so far (these attacks obviously bypass its DR).

Meanwhile, Tanith "Taniths" the Baator out of the last visible bone devil, erasing it from existence forever with three brutal hacks. He gets so into it, the fourth nearly takes Eben's arm off.

Eben, Astraden and Carina are up.

Round 6: Actions
Move Action: Give Eben my extract of See Invisibility
Standard Action: Drink extract of Fly

Carina hands off an extract containing a clear white fluid to Eben. "Good thing I prepared this, eh? Let's see him try to get away from you now."

She then chugs a green extract and starts hovering off the ground slightly. "Going to need to help Astraden & Rodrigo now, I think."

Technically, celestial lions don't treat their damage as Good, but it makes sense that it would be Good, so we'll let it bypass DR.

Surely at least the Smite should bypass DR. Think that was in the 3.5 template but they didn't port it over to PF.

Fortitude (good hope): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26

Ooh, it's only 90' off the map? I've got a 120' x2 move so if the relative position of the devil and the lion are accurate, I can charge.

Astraden changes course, swerving to sprint towards the hamatula. Unfortunately, her rapier gets caught in its sheath, and she scrapes to a halt in the grass as she struggles to free the blade.

+1 keen aberration bane rapier (good hope, charge): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 16 Chaotic, magic, piercing (good hope, chaos blade): 1d6 + 4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + (3, 4) = 16

Round 6: Charge (full-round action), draw rapier as part of charge (free action). Chaos hammer lasts 1 round and chaos blade lasts 3 rounds.

Debatable. It doesn't say it bypasses DR like Pally Smite.

0_o

How fast that you are?

I suspected that was going to be misinterpreted after posting so I edit-clarified. I wasn't saying it was RAW, I was saying it was probably RAI.
Charge speed: (30 base+30 haste)*2=60*2=120

I mainly ignored the smite—I just figure that Celestial animals should basically amount to being Outsiders with the (good) subtype in this case.

Eben is pretty sure he can tell where the invisible devil is floating, but has no problems making sure of that. "Thanks, Carina." He looks askance at the liquid., but swigs it down with a grimace. "Salty." He then looks up and grins, though. "But worth it. Boy, these guys are ugly..."

Drinking extract as a standard action. Continuing Dirge of Doom. Discontinuing Dance of 23 Steps.

See invisibility lasts 900 rounds, good hope lasts 87 rounds, cat's grace lasts 88 rounds, mirror image lasts 88 rounds, eagle's splendor lasts 89 rounds, gravity bow lasts 9 rounds.

AC is 24/19/18 with haste, cat's grace, and Dance of 23 Steps active. Mirror image has 5 images remaining.

Round 7: Clunk

Clunk continues pursuing Farrukh.

Round 7: Devils

The chaos magic is beginning to fade, but not quick enough to avail the last hamatula. In one titanic struggle of will, it attempts again its last spell.

Concentration: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

The effort fails as the lion gives the devil a vicious shake. The devil slumps.

Meanwhile, Eben gains a visual on the bone devil just in time to see the devil turn to face him.

"Apologies," it announces politely. "This confrontation has proven to be a fatal error and will now conclude. We thank you for your time."

It bows. With a ping, the last baatezu blinks out of sight once more.

The lion will likely die in the process, but it can and will easily destroy the devil now unless Rodrigo deliberately de-summons it. Unless Rodrigo decides to do that, consider this encounter over.

Farrukh slows down.

"Man, that was a good workout."

Eben frowns as the devil teleports out before he has a chance to unload some arrows into it. He turns to instead launch on the leftover hamatula, but sees it being savaged to death by the big glowy lion. Frustrated, he instead shouts out, "You're probably still watching, Visciannix, so let that be a lesson. We will take out anyone you send after the rod, including your lardy pit fiend butt if you so much as come within a continent of that thing! Try us if you don't believe me!" In a lower voice, he confirms, "Uh... we can take a pit fiend, right?"

"Well, Tanith DID wrestle a dragon into submission before killing her. So I'd be inclined to believe anything." Carina shrugs.

Hearing Carina talk about the battle with Ilthane, Tanith can't help but flex a bit.

"It couldn't hurt to find a way to keep Her from spying on us in the future. If we're not careful the next batch of Hell goons will show up in the middle of dinner or something."

"Hmm." Carina taps her chin. "I think there's at least one spell that can protect us from being scryed on, isn't there?"

"Well, there is a spell for literally everything. Can anyone here cast it though?" Farrukh asks after jogging back to the group.

"In the meantime we should follow doppleganger rules: No splitting up. Maybe someone in Magepoint will have a solution."
