Motteditor's Strange Aeons PBP (Inactive)

Tenebrynn takes the opportunity of the boys talking to the wildly scarred figure at the door to quickly glance around the front of the building for any balconies, opens windows on the second floor, or flat sections of roof.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

That's not very nice, Kyffin. He didn't say anything about your nasty clothing.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I really am quite busy," the man repeats. "Please, return tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll have more time then."

He begins to close the door you'll have to physically interject to stop him.

Looking around, Tenebrynn can see the old infirmary is built of hefty stone blocks pierced with narrow windows that are closed behind iron shutters.

That's not very nice, Kyffin. He didn't say anything about your nasty clothing.

What? I thought we just bought some nice new duds! Why even bother buying new clothes if not to look down upon those who look unkempt!?

Tristain crestfalls, but is willing to return tomorrow.

No, you decided to go to the fens before clothes shopping.

Kyffin, not wanting to be the one to start a physical altercation - at least not this time - lets the door close.

He'll move off a little ways to chat with the group, "Maybe if I were better dressed..." he shrugs grinning. "Let's go shopping and take a breather. We can come back tomorrow, early, and sort this mess out. I wonder what he's doing for the navy?"

If the group agrees, he'll trudge back to town and shopping buying what he previously outlined. He'll wear the more colorful (and expensive) clothes that day and that evening as the party spends the day relaxing about town.

Tomorrow, he'll put on the adventurer's gear: heavy boots, clothes that wash the blood out more easily, in fact more durable clothes in general.

Starflit stands back with Tenebrynn. While the gnome looks for other ways into the strange place, the inquisitor tries to determine if there's something more than a Taldan naval contract that keeps the man from wanting to talk with the party.

Starflit Sense Motive Check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Sorry for the delay; trying to get back into the swing of things after an illness.

Tristain spins on his heels, now really anxious to go shopping and get a haircut. It's a good plan.

Starflit, he definitely seems a bit odd -- almost too polite, perhaps? -- but you're not sure you can completely put your finger on what might be motivating him.

Starflit crosses her arms over her chest as the confrontation passes. "That was more...accommodating of you folks than I'd expected," the strange- and spooky-looking butterfly gal comments. "Is it wise to let a likely foe have another day to work his wickedness while we...shop?"

While there's definitely a level of judgment in the words of the Black Butterfly's agent, there's also a refreshing honesty to her question. You get the sense she's walking a fine line between judging the pre- and post-fugue-state character of some members of the party. Walking on eggshells, as it were, yet wanting to trust in the party's collective judgment.

Tenebrynn shrugs. ”Did you or Al give him the stink-eye?”

"I...I don't think I did," Starflit admits. "Maybe he recognized me to be an agent of the Black Butterfly," she concedes as well, rather unnecessarily, given how she's dressed.

”He’s...he’s the bad guy?” Tristain asks, uncertain. ”Maybe we’re just confused or maybe he’s just a subcontractor or something.” Tristain can’t imagine a bad guy answering the front door and being so accommodating, mostly because the bad guys he’s met have been giant spider dancers and crying doors.

”Shopping time. And I need a haircut.”

"I agree with our new companion, let's not give him a day to hide or flee. Let's find another entrance into that building and see what's going on inside there." Al seems determined to investigate before the party leaves.

Starflit crosses her arms over her chest as the confrontation passes. "That was more...accommodating of you folks than I'd expected," the strange- and spooky-looking butterfly gal comments. "Is it wise to let a likely foe have another day to work his wickedness while we...shop?"

"Yeah, it's a risk..." Kyffin shrugs, "But I've spent a lot of years being the first one to swing a blade and fell my supposed foes - many of whom were innocents. I'll err on the side of giving the man a break."

"I agree with our new companion, let's not give him a day to hide or flee. Let's find another entrance into that building and see what's going on inside there." Al seems determined to investigate before the party leaves.

"Al, are you sure that's wise? We're not a sneaky group. Hehehe, or at least I'm not!" he chuckles. Growing more serious he asks of Al, "What did you learn? Is he evil?"

Tenebrynn points out the lack of windows on the first floor. ”Could jump up to the roof, but won’t be easy to get the rest of you up there if there happens to be a door or window. Will look though. Wait here. Or there. Doesn’t matter.” After pointing a little further away from the swampy structure, Tenebrynn flips the cowl of her cloak up then bounds up to roof, riding a sudden and tremendous gust of wind that splatters everyone with mud and reedy grass.

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38
Jump: 1d20 + 166 ⇒ (14) + 166 = 180
Jump distance: lateral up to 180ft, vertical up to 45ft

Tenebrynn leaps to the roof, barely making it to the top height of the building. A peaked attic rises even above the 40-foot-tall main structure on which she's standing. Vines flow into the broken windows of the attic, but bars look like they might be difficult to break through. Still, you assume you could manage should you decide to do so. Overall map is updated

"What did you learn? Is he evil?"

"I don't rightly know, I didn't smell any evil from him, but this whole place stinks of it. We can keep banging on the doors while the others find a way into the building, I think it's important we take care of this matter now before Mun flees or worse happens to him."

Tristain wishes he was cutting his hair cut and not breakin’ into a evil laboratory filled with, no doubt, gruesome creations, but that’s not what he is doing today. He doesn’t get what he wants. Like a haircut.

He waits to see what Tenebrynn discovers or if the party will break the door down or something else.

Tenebrynn leaps off the roof and seems to be about to crash into the ground when her fall slows suddenly just before impact. The gust of wind that buffets her landing leaves a huge disc of flattened grass around her and once again sprays the party with a thin, reedy mud.

”Could work. Open window to attic, but barred. Plants already growing through window, I could squeeze through, you all would have trouble. If we can deal with the bars, though, it could be a quieter way in than through the door.”

Starflit grimaces as she gets spattered with mud and straw for a second time by Tenebrynn. "I have no way of dealing with the bars," she reports glumly.

”Oh, I can get us through bars. I mean, not all of us, but most of us. That means, Tenebrynn, if you can get yourself in, that I can get the rest of us in,” Tristain offers.

Happy to DDoor Al, Kyffin, & ‘Flit in.

Tenebrynn nods. ”Ok. Now, how to get the rest of you up on the roof. I could jump back up and tie off a really long rope. Just have to make sure we’re not seen from one of the other windows. Could be tough. Climbing is slow.”

"I don't rightly know, I didn't smell any evil from him, but this whole place stinks of it. We can keep banging on the doors while the others find a way into the building, I think it's important we take care of this matter now before Mun flees or worse happens to him."

"Now hold on a moment. We're planning to invade this man's home, rather than wait a single day, because the building is creepy? I don't like this. I don't like this at all." Kyffin shrugs frowning.

"But I'll not stop you if this is what must be done. I just hope there is in fact current evil here, not just the remnants of days gone by."

He looks around for possible watchers.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Presuming he sees none, he nods to Tristain, "Let's see what is in the attic and we can work our way down."

I assume Tristain will dimension door us through the window and into the attic while Tenebrynn climbs through the bars into the same room. I don't think we all need to climb. Will that work?

"Mun may or may not be evil. Doesn't matter." Tenebrynn shrugs. "Tristain and I both heard the strange voice when we got here. Lowls was here. 'Ripples in the lake.' That's enough for me."

"Now hold on a moment. We're planning to invade this man's home, rather than wait a single day, because the building is creepy? I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

"Tristain and I both heard the strange voice when we got here. Lowls was here. 'Ripples in the lake.' That's enough for me."

"You both have the right of it, something strange is going on here, but it's important not to blame Mun until we know for sure. Evil can work through people, use them against their will. Remember the gnome didn't believe any of the rumors about Mun and he actually met the man. Maybe being a brilliant necromancer brings some unwanted attention, seems likely enough. Let's investigate, but remember that Mun may need our help instead of our blades." Al is ready for the hop through space and into the old prison infirmary.

Tristain's magic brings everyone inside as Tenebrynn leaps to the roof again. Ivy fills the room -- endless trailing vines flow in through broken windows and cover the floor here like a living carpet. The sickening scent of decay hides within the scent of fresh vegetation. The attic ceiling rises 10 feet overhead, and daylight streams in through the broken windows. Unlike the ivy outside, the tendrils in the attic are twisted and malformed. Putrid yellow berries sprout like cancerous growths between the leaves.

As you look around, Starflit suddenly notices something -- a horrifying, pitch-black monstrosity, seemingly made of ropy tentacles -- amid the vines in the ceiling beams. She reacts moments before it does.

Starflit is up for a surprise round. She can take a single action. Note that I'm having Tenebrynn start outside. She will have to use a move action when her turn comes to squeeze through the bars to get inside. Combat and overall map are updated.

"What's that?" Starflit whispers tersely, pointing at the dark tentacles. She tries to identify the monster so she'll know how best to attack it or defend against it.

Monster Lore: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

General plan is to use a swift action for two judgments and probably a move to the SE corner of the attack, but that's dependent upon the monster lore result.

Attack = attic. Sheesh.

You recognize it -- barely -- as a dark young of shub-niggurath, though judging by its size, it's probably a young one. You know piercing and bludgeoning weapons are unlikely to do much to it, and it's immune to acid, electricity, fire, poison.

Starflit's eyes widen with recognition of a beast she's only heard vague tales about. "Sh-shub-niggurath! Slash at it! Fire won't work!" While initiating judgments to battle the monstrosity (protection, resiliency), the servant of the Black Butterfly steps forward and casts a quick spell (communal protection from evil), touching herself, Al, and Tristain.

More immunities coming next round--this seemed to me like an awful lot to say/do in a surprise round!

Combat Notes: Judgments (protection +3 sacred bonus to AC, +6 vs. attacks to confirm crits; resiliency DR 3/evil); communal protection from evil (+2 deflection bonus to AC, +2 resistance bonus on saves vs. evil creatures).

Starflit calls on the Black Butterfly against this monstrosity from beyond, which waves its tentacles -- and the ivy starts grabbing at you! DC 16 Reflex save or be entangled condition; the entire attic is affected, so please save again at the end of your turn. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a DC 16 Strength or Escape Artist check. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.

Tristain, Kyffin and Starflit are up for Round 1/2

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 Reflex

Tristain ponders his options and thinks if someone were standing in front of him, he could cast spells without worry.

"It's also immune to acid, electricity, and poison!" Starflit tells the others in an urgent tone as she deftly dodges the writhing ivy. Drawing her dagger, she imbues the weapon with her bane power (against aberrations) and slashes at the frightful monster. She hesitates but a moment, trying to find a soft spot to target, and it costs her. The ivy grabs at her arms and whips against her elbow, causing her stab to go horribly awry and for her to momentarily lose her balance.

Again, her minute slip-up is costly. More ivy skitters across the attic floor before twisting up her legs, while the vines clinging to the rafters descend to secure her arms and upper torso. Starflit grunts as she tests the binding foliage, finding herself neatly entangled...like a butterfly caught in a spider's web. A rogue vine works its way up the right side of her face, crushing its berries as it goes. The branch starts dragging the sticky yellow juice across the captive's temple and then down her cheek, starting to draw what might be a familiar symbol on her skin....

Starflit Reflex Save (PfE): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28

Starflit dagger (bane): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + (4, 6) = 15

Starflit Reflex Save (PfE; End of Turn): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11

Well...three out of four important rolls in that post were 1s. Wonderful. I took some dramatic license to have the ivy (possibly) start to draw the Yellow Sign on Starflit's face to give Tristain something to start bonking over.

Also, not sure if the ivy's entangle condition prevents movement; it's not unthinkable that it's rooted in the floor cracks and wrapped around the attic rafters.

ADDENDUM: Starflit took a 5-foot step last round, so she should be in the square below Al on the combat map.

Starflit takes a deep breath, closes her eyes for a moment, and her whole body shimmers. The clinging ivy that had seemed to have her firmly in its grasp finds that its prey is elusive, having somehow slipped her bonds.

Forgot that her liberation domain power kicks in automatically, so ignore the entangled condition in Starflit's Combat Notes spoiler.

Round 1

”Thanks Starflit!” Kyffin appreciates the intelligence report. He swiftly ensorcels himself, providing additional sacred armor to his defenses. He then steps up so as to give Tristain cover behind him (5’ step straight south to leave room for Al to get in also), draws his scimitar, and swings on the creature.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 = 22 (bull) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20 (bull)

Round 1
Tristain steps behind Kyffin, taking cover from the beast.
He casts Haste in his fear, hoping not to die.
Round 1/11: +1 to all the things, especially attacky things. So attack!

The ivy seems to slide off Starflit, but not before disrupting her aim as she slashes at the creature. Kyffin goes to move, pulling out of the vines, but finding they impede his ability as he steps forward. The whole area is difficult terrain. A tentacle lashes out and slams into him, wrapping around and pulling him close, crushing the air from his lungs. 13 hp from the tentacle, then you're grabbed and 18 hp constrict

Fortunately, he still provides cover for Tristain, who moves behind him and casts a spell, adding speed to your movement. Unfortunately for him, that's not enough to protect him from the lashing creature.

The creature's tentacles wrap up Kyffin, pinning him as they continue to crush the lift from his body, ribs snapping 17 more hp, plus now pinned. Worse, he feels little suckers on its tentacles sucking at his blood, and feels himself weakening. 4 Str drain; DC 22 Fort save to reduce that to 1 Str drain Its remaining tentacles lash out, ready to strike at anything else in the room.

The area is still affected by entangle. It is difficult terrain. It doesn't look like Al attempted the DC 16 Reflex save when the spell was cast, nor did Tris or Kyffin at the end of their turn. Tenebrynn will have to attempt the save if she enters the area. Everyone must ALSO save at the end of their turn. Note that it has more tentacles than the one pinning Kyffin, so it could have more attacks of opportunity, and you cannot take 5-foot steps because of the difficult terrain. I'll rule that Starflit's domain power allows her to ignore the difficult terrain, since it's caused by the grasping plants.

Round 2

Hehehe, never have I so totally misunderstood the combat field! Sorry about that! Well, Kyffin is sewn up nicely…

Kyffin is surprised when he’s caught up and pinned in a matter of seconds. First he tries healing himself of the egregious damage he just received. As it’s a supernatural swift ability, and not a spell, I think it ‘just happens’. :)
Ferver Heal: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3) = 11

Having no other options, he’ll try, vainly he suspects, to get free.
CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Oh, most vainly indeed! I imagine, to succeed, I need something rather at the other end of the spectrum. :)

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 vs DC 16 or entangled

DC 16 Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 = 30

Al steps forward crushing tentacles beneath his feat and prunes the beast. swift action, Grace, Albert style, to move through difficult terrain and not provoke AoO "Danged worse house plant I've ever seen!"

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 3 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 9 = 17

I don't think grace allows the move to count as a shift, so no full attack round, but just in case...

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 14
damage: 1d10 + 3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 9 = 13

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 - 3 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 9 = 14

...and auto entangle save

DC 16 Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 2 = 34

Round 2

Starflit feels Tristain's spell affect her, and she wants nothing more than to wade into battle with the otherworldly aberration (even with a mere dagger) and cut the thing to ribbons. But she's seen what the horror has done--is doing--to Kyffin, and she has the power to do something about that....

"Silence is freedom," the agent of the Black Butterfly states matter-of-factly, and an aura of confidence (see Freedom's Call spoiler) sweeps over her beleaguered allies. Again, the young lady zigs when she should have zagged and seems destined to be mummified in grasping ivy, yet somehow she slips free at the very last instant, carefully sliding further south to make room for others to join the battle.

Combat Notes: Judgments (protection +3 sacred bonus to AC, +6 vs. attacks to confirm crits; resiliency DR 3/evil); communal protection from evil (+2 deflection bonus to AC, +2 resistance bonus on saves vs. evil creatures); Bane (aberrations) Round #1 or 15; Domain Powers liberation (Round #2 of 10), freedom's call (Round #1 of 10); haste.

Starflit Reflex Save (PfE; End of Turn): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13

Tenebrynn begins to crackle with blue arcs of electricity, but Tristain jolts the party into moving faster first. Frowning, the little gnome then redirects the arcs down to her hands, readying to hurl a lightning bolt at the spawn, but then Starflit warns it won’t faze it and her frown deepens. Muttering something under her breath, she lets the lightning fade as she draws the winds in around her. With a quick, spinning snap kick, she sends a blast through the window for the tentacled foe across the attic.

Empowered Air Blast: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34for: 6d6 + 27 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5) + 27 = 46

Round 2

Tristain stays behind Kyffin as his allies start to do things. He casts a Magic Missile at the beast. And then draws his wand of Magic Missile.

5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 4, 1) + 5 = 14 force damage

Round 2/11: +1 to all the things, especially attacky things. So attack!

Albert offers a quick prayer to let him move safetly, and closes in on the beast, but it quickly yanks back its tentacles, avoiding his blade. Agreed; only a single attack, since it's still difficult terrain Tenebrynn follows him, squeezing into the room, though her attack is far more effectively, the air slamming into the creature. You did have to move to see it, so 2 burn.

Picking up on Al's call, Starflit calls on her own deity, and suddenly the tentacles fall off Kyffin and the others, freeing them to attack. Tristain blasts the monster with his mind missles, as Kyffin brings his blade to bear. It scuttles forward on the beams, clinging to the beams above you, and lashes out at Tenebrynn 12 hp though the tentacle's attempt to grab you fails, sliding off thanks to Starflit's power.

Kyffin, I'll allow you to retcon your actions from the previous round (other than the fervor -- you can keep that roll) since you would not have been entangled/pinned when your turn came up. You and the rest of the party are also up for Round 2.

Within the attic, Tenebrynn drops low and scowls at the spawn as the winds in the chamber begin to swirl and churn, pulling at cloaks, vines, and hair. She then fires off a blast upward into the rafters, her expression grim and focused.

Air Blast: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29for: 6d6 + 27 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 3, 6, 3) + 27 = 52

Round 2 & 3

Round 2 Redux
Kyffin grins as the various encumbrances fall from his body with the power of Starflit! ”Oh, I like this. Very excellent!” he cries as he slashes at the beast doing his best to take advantage of Starflit’s sacrifice.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 3 = 20 (bull, haste) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20 (bull)
Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 (bull, haste) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17 (bull)
hasted Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 3 = 27 (bull, haste) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18 (bull)

Round 3
Not sure he wants to summon more spell power, he’ll instead summon power to his blade (+2 sacred, swift) for the round for added punch.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 5 = 25 (bull, haste, sacred) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 4 = 25 (bull, sacred)
Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 5 = 19 (bull, haste, sacred) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 4 = 26 (bull, sacred)
hasted Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 5 = 30 (bull, haste, sacred) damage: 1d10 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 4 = 19 (bull, sacred)

Not sure if you still need this so…
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11 vs DC 16 or entangled

Yowzer what a bad set of rolls! Let me know if I'm entangled.

Round 3

Starflit silently thanks her mistress for the protections granted against this abomination, willing both to continue. After again charging her dagger with a bane power against aberrations, the Black Butterfly's servant goes on a savage slashing frenzy, aided by Tristain's magic. Unfortunately, her combat rhythm is still off (or she's just a terrible combatant, period). Gritting her teeth in frustration, the inquisitor gazes up angrily at her tormentor. At the last moment, she realizes the thing's big enough to crush her pretty good should it drop upon her, so she takes a cautious (5-foot) step south so she won't be underneath the creature's bulk.

Starflit dagger (bane, haste): 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + (5, 6) = 16 (19-20)

Starflit dagger (bane, haste): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 12 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + (2, 1) = 8 (19-20)

Starflit extra/hasted dagger (bane, haste): 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 21 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + (4, 6) = 17 (19-20)

Albert slashes away at the aggressive foliage.

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 14
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 9 = 14

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 18
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 9 = 20

curve blade, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 - 3 = 11
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 9 = 17

DC 16 reflex: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 = 19

And Al continues the magic rolls of the round. Nice.

Round 3

Tristain casts Magic Missile again, knowing it can’t miss.

5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 1, 1) + 5 = 14 force damage

Round 3/11: +1 to all the things, especially attacky things. So attack!

The thing looming over your head and the strange foliage -- even if it keeps slipping off you -- proves to be difficult to hit, blades landing on the beams and other vines and almost anything except their target. Tenebrynn's blast makes a mark, and Kyffin thinks he cuts it once, but it lashes out at the gnome 11 hp and Tristain as they press the attack 14 hp; will need a concentration check for that spell to go off.

Then, to make matters worse, it seems to convulse, and the attic beams and entire structure above gives way. The dark young drops, crashing to the floor below and bringing splintered wooden beams with it. 5 hp to all but Kyffin; DC 25 Reflex save to negate It lashes out, tentacles flying as it tries to hit its tormentors, though Kyffin and Starflit manages to let their armor take the brunt of the impact. 26 hp to Tenebrynn, 11 to Tristain

Party is up.

Round 4

Starflit uses the unnatural mobility granted by her empyreal mistress to slip to the east, into flanking position opposite Kyffin. Then she tries to carve the plantlike monster up like a pumpkin. This time, her flashing blade is much more accurate. She also keeps her domain powers up and running.

Starflit dagger attack #1 (bane, haste, flanking): 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 21 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + (5, 2) = 15 (19-20)

Starflit dagger attack #2 (bane, haste, flanking): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 30 for magic, slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + (1, 4) = 13 (19-20)
