Nacht had disengaged from the beast and sadly could not take advantage of its fleeting escape. Now it simply was a matter of time.

The other-being spoke of healing. Not that Nacht needed it, its constitution being that of stronger stuff. He awaited close to the alley but raised its voice to be heard.

" The Dragon runnnnssss. It isss more powerful than expected. A Tough prey. "

"Indeed. I'd expected the beast to be strong, but this...an entire cathedral destroyed as easily as a child would tear down a sandcastle, and flames hot enough to incinerate those without divine protection. I don't believe it's anywhere within our capability to fight, now."

Alphonse looks about, puzzled.

"Where is Iommi? Did he flee the church? Not that I'd blame him, but it doesn't seem his normal attitude."

Yes, retreat. I agree. Let's go. I have a fishing village or something to administer now. When dragon comes we can flee again. South I think. Africa it is called?

jumps down the stair well towards the others thankfully he has a cushion of air around him. When he lands he walks to the paladin and places a hand on his shoulder pulling water through his body healing him.

kinetic healer: 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 5) + 10 = 31

he takes on his last point of burn

Nacht holds up a blade that seems to be seeped with the blood of the beast.

" It Ssshould die.. eventually. When it doessss, my debt will be paid. Thisss blade is particularly fun. Once the blood flowsss it does not ssstop. "

Spit me out, ya blasted beasty! I'll shove me sword in yer stinking eye! as he spits at the wyrm.

attack: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 5 = 371d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d6 ⇒ 1

crit: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 5 = 401d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d10 ⇒ 6

Spit me out, ya blasted beasty! I'll shove me sword in yer stinking eye! as he spits at the wyrm.

[dice=attack]1d20+15+5; 1d6+8; 1d6

Paddy stabs the Beast's great eye with GreenThorne as it gnashes his left arm, producing a satisfactory popping sound....

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! BLAST YE TO FLINDERS!!!! YE'VE BLINDED ME, YE WEE RAPSCALLIONS!!!! A BLIGHT ON THE DAY YOUR MOTHERS BIRTHED YE, YE HAIRLESS APES!!!!

Looks like the attack missed, actually. We were aiming for a 38 I believe.

Yes, yes we were. However you get a +1 for elevated ground when it comes to Melee Attacks so technically it still happened.

Haha! Nice save.... Teamwork!

I'll give Conflagratius a -4 penalty on attacks due to his impaired depth perception from now on....

Critically wounded, The Beast heaves a gargantuan sob and beats its great wings furiously, lifting the immense, scarlet and crimson hulk up toward the sky....

Conflagratius cedes the field to those that grievously wounded him: The Lusty Fools!

I think a -1 is probably more fair. Pretty sure that's what the Drawback gives. Poor dragon.

Mutual Defeat. He better get something to heal him soon too.

Nacht began sharpening his blades along each other. The sound of metal on metal inciting to his ears.

" Dragon did not die. I am ssstill bound. no Oni-being either. "

We got a pretty decent number of crits!

I suppose the learned one Iommi, ran away? Hisao says Very smart, if we start now maybe we can catch up to him

Would be kinda funny if no one saw Iommi turn to ash and we can all assume he just took off.

Pater Dominico makes it to the bottom of the now fragmented spiral belfry stairs and reads his scroll of mass cure moderate wounds, healing all of 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 1) + 10 = 18 hp damage....

I remember seeing your heathen friend right before the dragon filled the tower with its fiery breath.... But not after.... I fear he would not have been under Our Lord's protection as the rest of were.... I assure you, that was not my intention.... I was about to protect him as well, but I was too late.... Forgive me....

Oh. Hisao says suddenly crestfallen. This is truly terrible

Paddy floats down ising the last of his armor's magical flight ability. He holds his arm, which is sitting at an odd angle.

well, we made it through that....
Seeing the sullen look on his friends faces, he looks around...What? What's wrong?

Not seeing Iommi, the life appears to drain out of the rogue.

Blast....I'm gonna see that monster pay or die trying....

When the Paddy-being seems to adjust Nacht simply tilts his head.

" Smart-being hasss died? Unfortunate. Smart-being was not as smart as was perceived. Where do we go now? "

Nacht emphasizes with a sweeping motion of his many-limbed body. He was not aware if the rest of the beings even have the same wealth of information the smart-being had. Direction would be spotty.

Alphonse sighs and takes a moment of silence.

"Our ultimate mission has not changed. We must avert the Apocalypse. If we cannot slay Conflagratius, we must hasten to Rome and end Nero's life."

"But first...we can at least spare the time to give Iommi his last rites. May I ask you to do the honors, Pater?"

Iommit is gunna be so upset

If the heathen doesn't want the proper rites done, he can speak up against it.

Pater Dominico gives Iommi-Tyr's ashes the last rites, and collects the ashes in an urn.....

Maybe we go to Iommi home. Deliver his remains

"As much as I wish we could, I do not think we can spare the time to backtrack that far."

"Pater, would you be willing to hold his ashes for now? I am loath to simply send him by courier. News of a man's death should be given in person."

"lads I think I will stick with ya for a while. Were are we a heading."

Stealth check 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 as he flies invisibly into the broken belfry to see what made The Beast of the Apocalypse fly off with its tail tucked....

Perception checks, please.... Paddy, and anyone else able to see invisible get a +20 on this check....

perception: 1d20 + 23 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 23 + 20 = 46

I think we might have some company, lads. Get ready... Paddy subtly nods in the direction of the ogre magi.

stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Nacht seems to scrap his blades against themselves, though he does not know what it is that the Paddy-being spoke of.

Can't get it as Worm Focus is currently on.

Per: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Hisao goes ethereal in response.

Alphonse remains as oblivious as he usually does.

"We should be headed on to Rome, in haste. Getting near Nero may be a problem we will need time to solve."

So.... These meddlers were mighty enough to send The Beast scurrying like a whipped dog!? And they plan to slay the Devil-Spawn Nero as well? Hmmm.... I could report this to Nero.... Or.... I could follow them and see if they are actually powerful enough to accomplish this deed.... Or at least, able to weaken the Anti-Christ enough that I can negotiate a sweeter contract for myself!

Hisao floats behind where Paddy indicated, activating his Greater Invisibility as he goes.

Etheral Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

He waits for Paddy's go ahead to start stabbing.

Well, I'm in need of a drink....be right back, lads... Paddy nonchalantly heads in the general direction of the ogre and Hisao. He makes like he is going to pass right by thd ogre, but at the last moment, he draws his sword and tries to catch the beast by surprise between himself and the ninja.

I assume this is where we meet Initiative Monkey again?

Either way, Hisao drop his etheralness, maintains his invisibility and lashes out as a possible surprise act.

Slash Flank Invisible: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 321d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 5d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (6) + (6, 5) + (4, 1, 6, 3, 1) = 37
-2 from attack roll if no invisible bonus, 6 is acid damage, 11 is holy damage, 15 is sneak damage
Miss Chance (higher is better: 1d100 ⇒ 78

Either way, Hisao drop his etheralness, maintains his invisibility and lashes out as a possible surprise act.

[dice=Slash Flank Invisible]1d20+15+2+2;1d6+2+1d6+2d6+5d6
-2 from attack roll if no invisible bonus, 6 is acid damage, 11 is holy damage, 15 is sneak damage
[dice=Miss Chance (higher is better]1d100

GAAAAAAHHH!!!! Damn it, Turuko-San! Of course they can see your invisible ass! Now you must escape if you can, foolish oni....

Initiative 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Alphonse looks around confused.

"Wait, what's going on? Why are you cutting at the air?"

initiative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Nacht stays wary but continues baed on the surface-being's directions.

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

initiative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

[bold] what's be going on lads[/bold]

Blood. Look at the Blood! Hisao exclaims waving his wazikashi around. Something is here. Paddy said

Init: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Do Oni bleed?

Well they're kind of ogre mages. Ogres bleed I think. Even if they're not ogres, they're definitely humanoid right?

Do Oni bleed?

Yes.... But they also regenerate....
