Game Master Riuk

As with the Daze spell he would be out of your range before you could cast as he was before you in the round. But then again i could see you running after him to get in range then casting so

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

right as the cowards hand grabs the door he finds for some reason cant move...

oh my bad forgot it's round 2 now top of the inish

Rosa will focus her infernal gaze on the injured guard, "If you assist us, you will live to see your family. We'll hold you hostage so nobody will know you helped us. If you don't help, you are of no use. We'll raise your corpse as an undead puppet and send it against those you love. Answer now!"

intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Talia holds to see his action.

The Blade moves in and with a rather non-plussed look on his face raises his sword again to kill the sleeping man.

Might wanna get Rosa or the Demon to murder the runner.

Good call, blade.

Yes, Xanos followed to be in range.
"Have your friend kill him please." Xanos said to the little girl hiding behind him. "He cannot be allowed to alert the other guards."

The girl looks at the man a growl grows from her as those who can see int this darkness. Watch as her small child like hands twitch as they split and change into demonic like claws, her mouth opens and after a few bone braking cracks a horrific maw of teeth can be seen. She then jumps forward and rips the cowardly human apart. In only a few seconds she is standing in the center of a crimson smear panting as she sifts back to a blood covered little girl....

So including the man on his knees there are two guards left...

The guard on his knees looks to the other on that seems to be getting his wits back and back at talia clearly frightened but unwilling to speak...

Didn't blade kill one of them? Did he fail?

Ah thats why i missed it no damage roll, even though its just a formality lol hell even at minimum damage a a level 1 could not save so i'll just go with ya hes dead

so with him the only guard left and frighten "Ok ok ask your questions and i'll tell you what i know then just let me be...im sorry Plot Device it was your first day..."

"Bring him down to the cell with the other guard." Xanos said quietly to Talia. "Keep them separate."

I thought the whole point of capturing them were to get information? Just holding them there doesn't serve much purpose. Also the servants next door undoubtly heard us, we should deal with them before we go downstairs. I can't remember if you told us about them though.

Kendrella draws in a deep breath and steels herself, then she starts asking questions in a calm measured voice with only a hint of quiver due to the stress she is under. "Tell us about what is in this prison. How many exits are there? Is there any other ways out than over the bridge? How many guards are there? Where do you store the weapons and armor? Do you have any storage for magical equipment? Do you have or do you know where we can find a map over the place? Could you draw one?"

Taking 10 on diplomacy for 18 for making a request, which should succed fairly easily against a friendly creature.

The guard give a sigh and shakes his head "as long as I can see my family again, as far as I know there I only one way on and off the island and that's the bridge. Ad to weapons in the hall by the main door is our store room...I don't know about magic, I don't know how many are hear as now but there is we are...or were thirty strong"

so what is the rest of the group doing

That's the plan. I intend to question them, and get them to draw us maps of the place. Then we compare their maps and stories and see if there are discrepancies.

I don't want to question them immediately because there are still people in the area that haven't been dealt with. So, we lock them up in the jail, clear the area, and then go talk to them.

"We are getting ahead of ourselves. There are still people nearby. Move him. We will get our questions answered when there is less risk of being interrupted." Xanos said quietly, moving past the guard and toward the kitchen door.

"Ready yourselves."

The phantom moved to scout the kitchen and the walls beyond, sticking his head slowly through the kitchen wall, and the wall to the outside.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Runners!" The phantom hissed as it looked through the wall to the outside.

"Runners" Xanos said flatly, in synch with his phantom double.

"Down the hall, through the door. Go right. Head them off. Run."

Xanos threw open the kitchen door, moving to the door the runners had exited. He gave the little girl holding his hand a gentle nudge forward. "Catch them. Kill them."

Talia will take off after the runners along with the girl.

Questioning them may be useful, but we must balance it against the time it takes. If we allow the enemy to reinforce when we could have been escaping, then it's useless.

"Let's get out of here before they can call reinforcements. I doubt we'll be able to stop them without alerting the guard." She says and puts the wounded guard to sleep before following the others.

Running off alone seems like suicide. We don't really need any gear that badly, so no reason to go to the storage room. I don't think we'll be able to stay undetected for long so I think we should just try to flee asap.

Xanos' phantom was seething. Something had blocked his view making it impossible for him to have seen the door. It was just dumb luck. He was still furious.

With a gesture he flung a bag of flour across the floor to the cookfire causing the powdered grain to burst to flames. The table was swept free of food and utensils in a display of poltergeist anger.

He stoked the flames with spilled oil and cookbooks, running the oil out into the other rooms to catch tables and chairs as well.

In moments he had the beginnings of a serious fire going.

If you ever want to have some fun, throw some cooking flower into a campfire. It's extremely flammable (bordering on explosive).

While his ghostly double went about lighting the place on fire, Xanos icily walked through the kitchen.

"I was conscious when they brought me here. I was muzzled and my head was bagged, but my spirit was still free to roam. The external bridge house is manned, as is the gatehouse. The walls are patrolled by archers. They have a kennel full of trained dogs and a stable of horses. There is only one road going out of this place. All around it is swampland."

"Running is unfeasible. Stealth, at this point, will be difficult."

"Instead, I propose we attack. Hit and run tactics, leaving behind fires wherever possible. That will split their focus."

"Our first mark should be the barracks. If we can reach them before they managed to don their armor and weapons we will have a significant advantage."

"Works for me mate. Was going to happen sooner or later. But I don't think lighting fires is in our best interest. Sounds great up until you realize fire and crashing buildings don't discriminate."

Rosa is clear and direct. "Branderscar is but a single part of Talingarde and Mitra's hold. If we kill everybody, they will get new guards. We must escape go to our benefactor. I suspect there is more to the story. We will get blood and vengeance, but we must survive."

Based on Rosa's mental command, Talia will stop her pursuit of the runners and come back. "I agree."

Kendrella halts in her tracks upon seeing the other stops, instead she turns towards the captured guard. "So, where is the barracks? Do they have weapons and armor there or will they come to the armory?" She looks over at the fire, she had always wanted to put buildings on fire, but never dared until now? She turns to the others. "Either way, I think we should stop by the armory first."

The guard looks to the flame coming out of the kitchen and back at the group "why would you do that just leave and die why burn this place...you vile lot..."

fate: 1d100 ⇒ 64

as No one removed his weapon away from him. ..

"you cursed evils, I will end you and spare this world your poison"

This man seems to call on hidden strength his mussels bulges and the weapon he wields glows with holy energy as he attacks talia

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
this is holy extra damage so it will bypass damage reduction: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Talia takes a massive hit that cuts right passed her armor, Talias blood that is still in the guards blade smokes and burns away as if being cleanse of her evil
OK wow with your dr you took 10 damage...

Talia moves pas sed blade and slashes the guar, her glowing sword cuts a good inch into his chest but he still stands. The one that talia gravely wounded drops his weapon and begins to beg for his life. " p,please I never harmed any of you.."

I said I tried to slumber him two posts ago, did that not work? Also doesn't he provoke an AoO from Talia for picking up his weapon? Or if he isn't close enough to provoke then picking up weapon, moving and attacking is 3 actions (unless he had another weapon I guess, though it wasn't described where he got his weapon from. You said he dropped it earlier)

Slumber DC 15. And yeah fights at level 1 are volatile. A single hit is often enough to kill someone.

sorry missed that I'll do both now if the first fails retcon that attack ^_^

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22.
will+2 for the rage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

twas bound to happen he passed both, and your right kenderella that should have been an attack with the club, that's the damage I rolled anyhow ^_^,

You never described how he was armed/equiped. You just said he dropped his weapon. It feels a bit "cheap" to surprise us with something we didn't know was there. Also, I can only use slumber once per target, so I will have to find something else to do. Are the positions on the map correct? It seems weird that Talia and Kendrella who ran out after the runners are the ones next to the guard.

Since Kendrella's first attempt at making the man fall asleep failed she can't do it again. She takes a step back and flings the cumb she is holding, drawing another forth right afterwards.

Ranged throw club from 10 ft away, deadly aim, point blank: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

And picking up the weapon wouldn't have provoked an AoO?

He said he drew a new one

Are we officially in initiative now?

If so.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Initiative.

Mormal initative is probably a bit overkill given it's only one enemy. Though I guess it's quite unfair/unrealistic that he automatically won initiative and went first. It's not like we weren't aware of him.
initative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

talia initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
rosa initiative : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Though of course it's probably "cooler"/more evocative/cinematic to just have him go first and by the look of our rolls it's not too unlikely either.

sorry guys I was out of it yesterday, thanks for rolling your inits, and your right Talia if you roll before him you can attack before he will

xanos: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
npc: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
guard: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

wow I have never seen three 3s in a roll of 1d20s lol

The guard just called holy power and is simmering...every one but xanos can act lol

I hate it when my dice rolls get eaten..I did roll inti i had rolled and in that set he went first but poof gone when I came back, so that's why I'm letting you all act before him...ah well

So did he hit Talia or not? Kendrella will still throw her club as posted above. Did it hit/deal damage?

since I saw that my init rolls got eaten, I'll just retake the attack. He used to go first that's why I wrote that, but since it did not stay I'll take the hit back

Rosa merely glances over at the guard.

Manifesting Unearthly terror. DC 14 will save vs. shaken 1 round

Talia will seek to end the threat. she raises her blade to strike.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

With a sigh The Blade steps forward adn brings his blade down to flat out kill the man.

"You brought this on yourself."

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Attack
2d6 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 + 3 = 12 Damage

Ok sorry for the delay but as you all know whats going on with my work at the moment....im falling behind on all of my games. please bare with me for now and hopefully soon i can up my post rate
1d4 ⇒ 2

Talia's weapon strikes the guards chest but his armor seems to take all of the damage. Blade attacks but his glowing weapon is deflected by the guard. Rosa looks at the guard he blinks but nothing happens, he then attacks the blade "and you disgusting forms of life deserve nothing but death!!!" he attack the blade, his the holy power radiating from him allows the attack to strike deep into the Blade.

Kenderella's thrown club hits the guard hard, he wavers but somehow stays on his feet

The blood demon moves forward to attack but its careless movement draws and attack from the guard his the demos screams as the holy light penetrates it. Its eyes glow and form cracks as fissures spider across her body as it brakes apart sent back to the plane she came from. down the hall a mournful wail emanates from down the hall as the small girl feels the loss of her demon.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
holy damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
AOOattack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
holy damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Blade -8

With Xanos at the end of the round thats make the party up, blade has taken a hard hit and you have loss a combatant

So DR and AC are meaningless? Okay.

the holy damage from the guard cuts right passed your dr and I took away 6 from his damage of 9 Leaving you with the 8 damage, and yes that damage with the eidolons dr of 2 would destroy it

Xanos waves his hand.

Daze, DC 14 Will

OK the party brutal mob stabs the guard and he is dead, soft cries can he heard down the hall more than likely you think are coming from the girl.

the spirit goes flying into the air and takes a look at the area from up above, high walls all around a tall tower behind the building and the two people can bee seen running to the gate house. There is a small field to the right, full of ripe food, next to the inner gate house you can see what looks like a small barn.

with the size of this place you know you'll have may by 3 mind before the come and look at the kitchen. ..
