Alphonse looks...less than comfortable having the goblins actually FOLLOW the party at first, but then brightens.

"Yes, it will give us good opportunity to make sure you stay safe and out of trouble." he emphasizes.

Tell us what is in the rest of camp also. Hisao says Would it be easy prey with leader not at home?

Downstairs, two more like her... the short, fat goblin points at the butchered lamia.... And more bugbears, five, I think.... No problem for mighty slayers like you guys!

The goblins proceed to reveal the secret location where Dai Oni has gone to meet with the Antichrist: a cavern on the north slope of Mount Vesuvius....

Tricky part is picking right cave--volcano has lots and lots on all sides.... Cave you want is high up on north side, near top! But he careful--Big Boss Conflagratius lives in volcano, too, along with chimera-men, and devils from Hell!

Not necessarily for Nacht ( He isnt fully aware of the overworld ) but for other people, How far is that... From here?

Nacht seems to take particular interest when the short green-beings mention there would be more sheep-beings. " How long sssssince the leader was gone? "

Here is the distance in hiking hours and kilometers from Turin to Mt Vesuvius.... About 6 day's march at 30 miles per day....

*GULP!* D-Dai Oni gone about....week now?

The goblin recoils in obvious fear and revulsion from The Beetle Man....

Is this the part of the game where we infiltrate the enemy's base and realize how horribly outmatched we are? Because that seems like it'll make a great scene.

LOL! Sounds about right....

Fingers crossed I roll a lucky pair of 20's, just to see if that throws a wrench into your plans though. =p

Anything's possible.... That would actually be pretty epic! LOL

Me think Dai Oni took stolen Body-Stain Shroud to give as gift to Antichrist....

And that route includes a ferry.. and assumes you are constantly moving that fast so... likely alot more as you usually only travel 8-10 hours a day. And we'd be going at Alphonse's speed, which is further reduced in mountains. So no we won be getting there anytime soon.

Nacht relents and stares before fading back into the ether and scouting ahead.

Scorpion Blend Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34

At 8-10 hours a day, your looking at more like 12 days march.... Plenty of time for various adventures along the coast of Italia....

Downstairs:

Hey.... Why music stop upstairs?

Something happen.... Go check out....

Paddy the Loon!
Hisao the Ninja!
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson!
Lamia dancers! (2)
Nacht The Beetle Man!
Bugbears! (5)
Alphonse the Paladin!

EEEEK!! EEEEEK!!

The Lusty Fools hear the sound of footfalls on the spiral stairs.... Seconds later, five more bugbears rush up into the upper chamber, followed by two more lamias!

Paddy whirls around and slices into the first bugbear he sees.

slice: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 281d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 181d6 ⇒ 13d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10

debil. injury is -2 to hit

Hisao vanishes in a puff of smoke and charges another of the bugbears in what turns out to be a very clumsy swing.

Use one ki for vanishing trick

Charge Pirhana: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 151d6 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 4 + (2) + (3, 6) + (5, 5, 1, 5) = 36

Paddy swiftly dispatches the first bugbear up the stairs with a well-aimed thrust of Greene Thorne! The beast collapses on the top stairs and rolls down, stopped by the legs of the next bugbear in line....

Attempting to slash the throat of the second bugbear up the stairs, Hisao accidentally stumbles over the corpse of the bugbear slain by Paddy, and the bugbear happens to stoop at just the right moment to examine its fallen companion, ducking VenomFang!

Iommi-Tyr keeps as far away from the emerging bugbears and lamias as the confines of the upper chamber allow (about 10 ft) and lobs a firebomb down the stairwell at one of the two lamias....

Firebombs away!!! 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 touch at nearest lamia hits and ignites her, dealing 5d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 4, 3) + 9 = 30 fire damage to the lamia, plus 14 splash damage to the adjacent lamia!

The lamia directly struck by Magnusson's firebomb shrieks as flames erupt all over her lion-like hindquarters!

GAAAAAAHHH!!!!

The other lamia is splashed by flaming oil.... Reflex save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 vs DC 22 for half fails! She takes 14 fire splash damage.... YEEOOUCH!!

Both lamia dancers push past their bugbear allies and rush at Iommi-Tyr, provoking attacks of opportunity from Paddy and Hisao....

One of the lamias says, Colui che gioca con il fuoco viene bruciato!* and casts suggestion on Iommi-Tyr from 10 ft away, suggesting he stop playing with fire! DC 14 Will save resists....

*

The other lamia rushes up to Iommi-Tyr and tries to stab him with a curvy dagger 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25, missing the well-warded Norseman!

Will save vs DC 14 suggestion 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31 succeeds....

Seriously?? Does this spawn of Lilith really think she can control the brilliant mind of Iommi-Tyr, Son of Magnus!? Let's have a bit of fun with this she-beast....

Nacht is up to bat!! EEEK!!

shivalry ain't dead: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 301d6 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d6 ⇒ 4crit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 291d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 181d10 ⇒ 3

Paddy puts the more badly-burnt lamia out of her misery with a swift stab in the neck....

She sighs and expires in a heap at the Irishman's feet....

Where is Nacht... considering he was supposed to be ahead of the party and had went to where the enemy should have been coming out?

Where is Nacht... considering he was supposed to be ahead of the party and had went to where the enemy should have been coming out?

Likely at the bottom of the stairs, with attacks of opportunity to choose from....

Whoah I'm going way out of turn. Please delay until the bugbears and Nact and Alphonse go please

Round 2

Incredibly irritated the invisible ninja slashes again at the ducking bugbear.

Piranha Strike lucky bugbear: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 = 181d6 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 4 + (5) + (5, 5) + (6, 3, 1, 3) = 35

[dice=Piranha Strike lucky bugbear]1d20+13-2;1d6+2+4+1d6+2d6+4d6

Now able to line up a clear strike to vital organs, Hisao slays another bugbear watchmen invisibly!

OOOOOOHHHH!!!

The remaining two bugbears wheel around in a panic, gaping at the bleeding and butchered bodies of their fellows strewn over the floor of the upper chamber!

Gathering their courage, they move to flank Alphonse and swing their morning stars at him!
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 WHIFF!!!

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 WHIFF!!!

"Excellent choice of weapon, though your skill is lacking." Alphonse says, and retaliates.

Slash 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Slash 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Realized I forgot to roll damage.

2d4 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 13 + (5, 5) = 25

Realized I forgot to roll damage.

2d4+13+2d6

Foereaper carves a deep gash in the throat of one bugbear, which falls with a choking gurgle, but the second bugbear leaps back just in time to dodge Alphonse's backswing with the deadly magic scythe....

Whoah I'm going way out of turn. Please delay until the bugbears and Nact and Alphonse go please

Round 2

Incredibly irritated the invisible ninja slashes again at the ducking bugbear.

[dice=Piranha Strike lucky bugbear]1d20+13-2;1d6+2+4+1d6+2d6+4d6

Forgot to mention that Hisao killed one of the bugbears in Round 2....

The invisible blade of Hisao impales the "lucky" bugbear through the heart! It screams and falls to the floor, quickly bleeding out....

If I'm not mistaken, there should be 1 bugbear and 1 lamia still standing?

Round 3! OOH!! OOH!!

Paddy the Loon!
Hisao the Ninja!
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson!
Lamia dancer!
Nacht The Beetle Man!
Bugbear!
Alphonse the Paladin!

EEEEK!! EEEEEK!!

Paddy closes with the last bugbear and slices at the creature.

Rot in the depths of Hell, beast!

Paddy closes with the last bugbear and slices at the creature.

Rot in the depths of Hell, beast!

[dice=attack]1d20+12; 1d6+9; 1d6

Paddy wounds the last bugbear deeply with GreeneThorne....

YYYEEEEOOOWWWW!!!!

The three goblin bards stay well back in the corner, agape at the supreme lethalness of The Lusty Fools, and how swiftly their foes fall beneath their blades and firebombs!
