Post Apocthulhu Pathfinder RAW

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

At this time, Levinson's ring of fire burns out....

The trees and brush whip violently in the increasing winds as the heart of the storm draws close....

Radsworth ignores Derriks request. Hootie wasn't their problem anymore, whether the Paladin realized it or not.

Something evil this way comes.

Rounds permitting, Radsworth begins another spell, this time summoning a creature of the Heavens.

Summon Monster V: Bralani Azata.

"Creature. I bind you to me, but you should not complain. An evil force musters against us and I require your aid and subservience in this matter."

The Azata stares off in the direction of Ithiqua.

"I dislike your Human imperiousness, but it is standard for your race..."

His voice trails off..

"What have you fools awakened?"

The Azata casts an At Will ability, BLUR, on Radsworth first, then will cast it on Koran, Derrik, MJ, and itself, time permitting.

Unfortunately, time does not permit the summoned azata to cast blur on anyone but Radsworth....

Ithaqua, the Wind Walker, has arrived!

Out of the sky drops a 12-ft-tall horror, covered with shaggy white fur like a weresquatch, but with jagged, bloody stumps where it's feet should be, longer and deadlier-looking claws, and most hideous of all, a head like a stag's skull, with burning red eyes like glowing embers in the hollow eye sockets!

Dual Initiative 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 and again on -6....

Initiative 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Oh, shit!

Initiative 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

That's....f$*%in' horrid!.... Let's kill it!

Derrik stares at the creature.. a fire building in his soul, much like when he faced the Daemonlord.. This was a creature not to be trifled with.. but instead of fear.. he showed Resolve

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

" Another beast.. Shall fall to us! "

Derrik Notes Rad's lack of speech.. either he had lost the ability to speak because of the creature.. or he willfully ignored that Hooty would have to face Ithaqua.. condemning him to die against this. He would know Derrik was one to set an example. As song roared in his mind.. one of great resonance with his soul (Song) As he surged towards Ithaqua becoming increasingly more white armor-wise as the viscous blackwings shape as he bounds off the trees of the canopy below before shooting upwards right past Ithaqua until he strikes at it's backneck with Excalibur

" I'll Show you.." his voice becoming increasingly more feral " YOU SHOULD FEAR... " an all out howl at this point " THE Strength of HUMANITY! "

twisting his torso as spinning his body to give Excalibur a mighty cutting edge

Amazing Smiting Divine Powerful Heroic Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (18) + 29 = 471d8 + 25 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 25 + (1, 4) = 35

Battle Trance Temp HP's: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Used Amazing Initiative to give extra a standard for attack, Moved.. choosing +30 movement again for 90 movement.. Before rising casted Battle Trance, Smited as swift action

Know(Arcana): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Know(Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Know(Nature): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Know(Planes): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Know(Religion): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

RRRRAAAAAAAGH!!!!

I am wounded!? By this man-thing!?

Ithaqua roars as much in surprise as in pain as Derrik's blow with Excalibur bites into the back of the Old One's neck....

(Down 35 hp)

[dice=Initiative]1d20+5

Don't forget Azimuth's initiative....

And Winston the grizzly bear might still be around.... I believe it's not been more than five rounds since Radsworth pulled him out of Chesterfield....

Derrik's knowledge of the planes includes this snippet of lore--Ithaqua, and all of his Wendigo spawn, are vulnerable to fire, like the weresquatches....

Derrik's mind is addled, only combat surges through his thoughts now, much like the tale of the Old Dragonslayers of Lore. He however is able to make a small statement even in his battle-frenzy

" BURN HIM.. LIKE THE REST! "

6 int weee!

Initiative 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Waiting til after Derrik strikes, then moving into flank:

Springing from the shadows at the Old One's shaggy back....
Sneaky Dawnsaber 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25 fails to penetrate Ithaqua's stone-hard hide....

Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

If it's ok, ignore the heal request to Mahatma and save it for later since Daisy healed Kepler all the way before Mahatma was able to cast.

Levinson's Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Kepler's Initative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

First move of the Sorceress Supreme is to unleash the true might of The Rod of Faust:
"Cornugon, once more I bring you to the mortal plane. Smite the enemies of the Nine Hells in the name of Archduke Mephistopheles!"

Does the horned devil gain the benefit of my feats even though it was through the rod? Mainly Augmented Summoning and Mythic Augmented Summoning.

There's no way I'm sending Winston at this thing. He can be a buffer to protect someone who is downed.

Round 1!

Derrik! (Acted)
Yingzen! (Acted)
Azimuth!
Radsworth!
Mikey Jay!
Levinson! Summoned horn devil!
Daisy!
Ithaqua!
Kepler!
Ithaqua again!

TBD: Koran and Marcus!

Eeeeek! Eeeeeek!

If it's ok, ignore the heal request to Mahatma and save it for later since Daisy healed Kepler all the way before Mahatma was able to cast.

[dice=Levinson's Initiative]1d20+9
[dice=Kepler's Initative]1d20+1

First move of the Sorceress Supreme is to unleash the true might of The Rod of Faust:
"Cornugon, once more I bring you to the mortal plane. Smite the enemies of the Nine Hells in the name or Archduke Mephistopheles!"

Does the horned devil gain the benefit of my feats even though it was through the rod? Mainly Augmented Summoning and Mythic Augmented Summoning.

Mahatma's heal retracted....

Because it is summoned by the Rod, your feats do not apply....

A black, sulphurous cloud billows out of the glowing ruby at the tip of the Rod of Faust....

A black smoke that coalesces at once into the shape of the cornugon! It immediately casts a nervous double-take at Ithaqua....

I see it is no small matter you have called me for, Darling of Mephistopheles.... My infernal rewards had better be commensurate....

Azimuth continues his summoners bidding, and this time without restraint. The aura of good emanating from the Paladin is palpable. He dives downwards, casting Blur on Derrik.

"Be strong Paladin! I do not think I shall be in this conflict long, but know you have the support of Heaven!"

Sneering at Radsworth's summoned azata, the horned devil casts dispel chaos on himself, granting a +4 deflection bonus against attacks made by chaotic creatures....

Hell helps those who help themselves....

Naomi shrugs, "Clearly I didn't disappoint last time. Your rewards will be even greater this time if you prevail. I'm thinking you could use your own torture palace.

"But first things first, get with the chain and teeth and tail to stop that thing. And most of all... Don't get shown up by the punk kid from whichever Heaven they pulled him," she added with a rakish grin.

The horned devil snorts with derision at the idea of being upstaged by the azata....

Levinson then leaned down and patted the back of her steed, "I don't want to put you into more danger than you can handle, but if you get a chance to charge and gore this guy, I think we should take it, Mahatma."

Radsworth considers the spells he has available, quickly scanning his mind and taking inventory of their numerous effects.

One he finds he will have little to no use for...and it's power is subsumed into Traveler.

Five Radsworths then pull a familiar trick. Traveler is charged with electrical power, which pulses through a round fire at Ithiqua!

Swift Action, Arcane Gun. Giving up a 5th level spell for a +5 bonus to Travelers attack and damage rolls. Standard action Reach Intense Shocking Grasp.

SR Check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
SR Check (Eldritch Breach): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage-Bullet: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9(+5 enhancement)
Shocking Grasp: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 6, 3, 1, 6) = 29

Derrik nods to the Azata, not able to take his stare off the creature for long

" I shall crush him! "

MJ flies 20 ft to close to melee distance with Ithaqua....

Flanking powerful overhand chopping Sword of Sif 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (10) + 29 = 39 deals 2d6 + 36 ⇒ (2, 6) + 36 = 44 slashing plus 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 holy plus 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8acid and electricity damage....

Power point spent for sudden flanking powerful overhand chopping Sword of Sif 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (4) + 29 = 33 deals 2d6 + 36 ⇒ (6, 5) + 36 = 47 slashing plus 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 holy plus 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6acid and electricity damage....

A total of 117 damage to the Wind Walker!

Ithaqua's superior SR protects him from Radsworth's spell....

This thing looks grabby.... Gonna make sure we're too slippery to grab hold of....

Daisy moves to within 30 ft of Derrik, MJ, and Ithaqua, and activates her 30-ft-radius aura of freedom (basically acts like freedom of movement for allies within 30 ft of Daisy)....

Ithaqua regenerates 15 hp....

(Currently down 137)

Snarling with bestial fury, the Wind Walker savages MJ....

Feral savage bite 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34 deals 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (1, 2) + 11 = 14 plus 4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 3) = 16 cold; grab auto-fails within Daisy's liberating aura....

Bite 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (10) + 28 = 38 deals 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 4) + 11 = 19 plus 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 5) = 15 cold; grab auto-fails within Daisy's liberating aura....

Claw 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (13) + 28 = 41 deals 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 3) + 11 = 17 plus 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1) = 8 cold....

Claw 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 44 deals 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6) + 11 = 23 plus 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 5) = 14 cold....

MJ collapses under the Old One's onslaught!

Ithaqua's final blow snuffs Mikey's life force.... He falls dead....

(At negative 23 hp!)

((Double con, your not dead..))

MIKEY!!!

((Double con, your not dead..))

Oh yeah! MJ is mythic now! Thanks for the reminder....

MJ is only mostly dead....

Only Mostly .. oh wait.. Rend...

Smash it, Koran! SMASH IT!!

Daisy points at Ithaqua, frantic....

Rending Mikey-doom deals 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 plus 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 5) = 14 cold plus 1d4 ⇒ 3 Cha damage!

Now he's all-the-way dead! Lol!

Suddenly aware that he has left the area of the storm, Hooty dares to look back....

Ithaqua had given up the chase!

Dammit. It's going after the Fierce Ones.... F+&~! F#&&! F$%!! F~&~! F!!~!.... I can't leave them.... F%$+!

Hooty circles back around, and now pursues the storm....

I must be out of my f&##ing mind....

"Mikey! No!" Levinson shouts as her monsterous half cawroars and flies at the Old One.

With a mighty beat of his wings, Kepler flings himself upon the Ithaqua and attacks with his mighty beak:
Firey Holy Charging Power Attack Bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 for 4d6 + 16 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2) + 16 + (2, 3) = 31 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 fire damage.

No longer flat-footed, Ithaqua dodges Kepler's beak!

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Marcus gets ready to cast a spell on Ithaqua when he watches MJ drop.

"Dammit. I don't know if I can help him right now."

I don't think my Breath of Life can even heal that much. Looks like a Raise Dead may be in order soon.

He instead settles for hoping for the slim chance of ending this battle quickly.

He casts one of his new spells, and summons a number of binding, snakelike coils around Ithaqua's form, trying to immobilize and crush him.

Cast a Piercing (from the rod) Constricting Coils on Ithaqua. DC 27 Will or Paralyzed and take 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Bludgeoning damage. If he passes I burn a Mythic power on Mythic Spell Focus and make him re-roll.

Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Spell Resistance (Eldritch Breach): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Remember the SR is treated as 5 less.

Even at 5 less, Ithaqua's SR is 31.... The Wind Walker throws off the constricting coils!

Surge (HOPE FOR A 5 DAMMIT): 1d6 ⇒ 5

Nice!

Will save vs DC 27 constricting coils 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 plus surge (burns two points to use Maximize Surge feat for +11 saves....

Forced by Marcus to re-roll 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 fails!

Ithaqua is paralyzed (for 10 rounds--just checked it out), and his DR soaks the 8 bludgeoning damage....

As Hold Person/Monster, so 1 round a level, but he can spend a Full Round to try another save next turn.

"Kill it! Kill it quick before it can break free!"

COUP DE GRACE HIS FURRY B#**# ASS!

He would be fine he rolls twice then he surges.. As in he would do those two rolls first..

Wait a sec.... If Marcus went on initiative 15, he goes before Ithaqua (14).... Which means Ithaqua is paralyzed instead of rending MJ to death!
