Arion glares at the woman. Too full of righteous anger to speak, he raises his sword and delivers a mighty slash.

Phew I'm glad you made that, it was a Death Attack, its one of my least favorite tactics written into a scenario/module!

Jirello and Waki issue a flurry of cutting and stabbing attacks however only Waki is truly able to score a blow, and that attack cuts deeply indeed!

*edit by 33 seconds :) Arion lands a powerful, cold iron blow shearing a part of the wing off the Succubus

*Edit Yeah I can, only Waki's first attack still hits, but I'll add one damage :)

note that you all get +2 attack and +1 damage this round, since Arion's attack hit. Can you apply that retoactively to those who have already posted, GM?

-Posted with Wayfinder

wow. Me too. Arion has already been resurrected once.

-Posted with Wayfinder

And I hope no one is fogetting Al's Battle Spirit: Battle Spirit +1 (3 rounds/day) (Su) As a standard action, allies in 30 ft gain bonus to attack and damage.

Al moves to stand behind Arion and touched his with his healing hex.

Healing Hex: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2) + 5 = 12

whoops. I did forget to add that in. That makes for one more damage from Arion

The wights have a difficult time connecting with the slippery succubus as she stands up, but renew their assault with more success.

Necress silently casts command, willing the monster to drop prone again. DC 16 Will save

AoO slam, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 151d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5 DC 14 Fort save or energy drain
AoO slam, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 121d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5 DC 14 Fort save or energy drain

slam, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 241d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6 DC 14 Fort save or energy drain
slam, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 221d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7 DC 14 Fort save or energy drain

The wights flail about trying to batter the Succubus however her tough natural armor and capable dodging avoids the undead from landing a solid enough blow.

Necress follows up with a silent spell, mentally commanding the Succubus to drop to the ground however, some sort of spell resistance surrounds the Succubi’s form.

Make me a spell resistance check

caster level check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Just to be clear, last round a wight hit with a 22, but this round a 22 and 24 both missed?

The AoO's didn't hit which consider her still prone for those attacks, the other two wight attacks are versus her regular AC. Sadly 22 and 24 aren't enough. This is a pretty tough boss. Even for a group of all 5th levels.

Necress puts an average amount of force behind her Spell but it just isn't enough to overpower the Succubi's spell resistance.

I'll post the Succubi's turn here in a bit!

Avalexi cackles, her eyes darting to the cage you found her in, realizing her way is blocked, she'll try and cast a spell defensively to help get better positioning.

Cast Defensive DC29: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

Much to her surprise, the amount of distractions broke her concentration long enough to fizzle the spell.

Looking around,the first glint of fear creeping into her eyes, she'll at least step out of being flanked by at least so many targets. . .

Current Map

The wights, still flanking the succubus and hungry for its flesh, continue to try to bypass its powerful defenses. This time, their claws find purchase.

Necress moves to cut off the monster's retreat, and also casts ill omen.

slam, flank, other bonuses from PCs: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 291d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

caster level check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Arion steps closer and delivers another blow with his greatsword.

Much of his offensive abiltiies exhausted Al moves for a clean shot and tries another water jet to knock the demon prone.

CMB: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 1 = 24

The Wights are able to land two solid blows, one of them even raking the Succubi's skin open, a trail of evil smoke spilling out, however their damage is severely muted thanks to her tough hide.

fort Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 However her demonic heritage is strong enough to fight off the wight's level draining energy.

Arion and Allanen both give it everything they've got only to come up just short.

Arion missed it by 1, and Allanen by 2, sad day indeed

Sorry guys, just realized the map was view only, my apologies

Okay, I moved myself on the map to cut off her retreat.

missed with a natural 15. I think Arion needs some more buffs...

-Posted with Wayfinder

Or not power attack :) that -1 is what costed ya! This Succubus and her 26 AC is a monster for most parties.

And a 24 CMD evidently. That was higher than I expected too.

Waki will move around to flank with Arion, hoping to bolster both their attacks.

Escape you will not!

He may draw an AOO as he moves around though...unless he moves through Necress's space

if it stood up wouldn't we get AoO's?

Jirelle lashes out with her rapier again, determined to put the threat down.Die, monster!

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 171d6 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 11

remembered the +1 from Allanen this time...also setting up parry/riposte if atacked

We did get Aoo's...if you opted to take them. :-)

dangit, i only just noticed that. I guess it is too late to roll mine?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nah roll 'em, not gonna penalize ya guys, I was kind of curious why only one person took the AoO - which was Necress with her wights

Waki runs around, getting behind the succubus, just in time to stab her in the kidney while Jirelle is unable to land a blow.

The succubus, tired of Waki being able to stab her same kidney repeatedly will try once again to cast a spell defensively.

Cast Defensive DC 21: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

Her hand glowing with a wild, blood red negative energy she'll lash reaching for Waki's heart.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 hits
damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 5, 1, 4) = 16

She'll drink his delicious life energy before stepping five feet again.

Waki took one Aoo as well (Monday, 28 attack vs prone AC),
which I thought had a solid hit...unless we were entitled to more than one

Waki nearly buckles in pain as his life force is pulled from his feathered frame.

CAAW! Without a fight I will not go!

Move and readied to strike with a flank...but looks like it does not matter

mw cold iron wakizashi, bard, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 18
for dmg,sneak: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (5, 3) + 1 = 14

but his luck runs out as his blade wavers.

Accepting his support roll Al moves around to touch Waki, using his healing hex on the ninja.

Healing Hex: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1) + 5 = 12

I thought I included that 17 damage from your AoO but I'll throw it in just in case!

Waki and Jirelle wave a dizzying flurry of blade however both attacks are just for show! Allanan runs around, delivering some much needed healing Waki's way!

The wights slam into the devilish creature again, one drawing a stripe of blood, while Necress takes a defensive stance. Fighting defensively. I had also cast ill omen last round...did that affect her attack?

slam, flank, other bonuses from PCs: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 111d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

The wights continue slobbering away pounding on the succubus, while one of them can consistantly hit his attacks do no damage against her tough skin.

Fort Save vs Energy Drain: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 and neither can their foul energy take hold of her.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It doesn't :(, her AC is 22 while prone, I don't remember, but had you had flanking yet at that point?

Arion takes a wild stab at the Succubi but misses!

In return she'll draw a wand out and cast a spell from it, a wild flaming blade springs into life in her hand!

Snarling as her escape is blocked, "I'll cut you down, my pretties!"

Everyone gets Attacks of Opportunity from when she drew her wand

Jirelle keeps the pressure on.

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 251d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 12

Jirelle then readies a retaliatory strike

Waki will take his own swipes at the diabolic caster.

AOO mw cold iron wakizashi, flank, bard: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 13

Cut us down unlikely seems.

for dmg,sneak: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (2, 3) + 1 = 13

Eager to finish her off, Waki nearly drops his sword...twice.

I don't know if I had flanking or not, but that roll didn't include the weapon focus or the battle spirit, which together would get the roll up to 23 to hit and +1 additional damage

Arion slashes at her as she draws the wand, then takes a step to his right and slashes at her again.

-Posted with Wayfinder

yeah, 23 would have hit her while prone, I'll apply that damage to her! :)

Jirelle is able to slash past the Succubi's defenses landing what would be a solid blow, however it has the sound of a silver utensil striking crystal, appearing to do no damage whats-so-ever.

Waki flails about, creating a dizzying display of steel! Arion takes advantage of these distraction to land a vicious strike, laying open a large slash across her back!

Jirelle steps around, flanking with the flailing wight, and just as it grabs the Succubus, Jirelle strikes, landing a vicious blow, wounding the Succubus greatly. She looks to be on her last leg.
