In round 6:

Perception vs DC 30 to spot Hastur....1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34 succeeds....

Free action to shout: King in Yellow at two o' clock, about 100 ft from me! Rooftop with spiky ornaments between those two spires, right in front of that big cracked dome!

Others now get a +2 bonus on the Perception check to notice the King in Yellow....

Will save vs DC 40 insanity 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Clear mind reroll 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Improved Iron Will reroll 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 auto-success!

MJ narrowly escapes insanity by the skin of his teeth, a rage power, and a feat!

Soaring in Superman pose, Sword of Sif pointed at Hastur, MJ flies right up to Hastur, provoking AoO....

AoO tattered lash at Mikey 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (4) + 41 = 45 slices through the glossy black exoskeleton armoring MJ for 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 7) + 7 = 22 slashing plus 1d6 ⇒ 6 bleed....

Daisy flies over to Grimm and casts restoration on him, removing all his temporary negative levels from the KiY's enervation....

Adjusting the dials on the Kaiju Dehibernator, Dr Yamamoto activates his complex device, beginning the risky process of calling out to Rodan with subsonic rumbles....

Round 6

Grimm swiftly consumes a formula he lovingly entitled Caging bomb admixture before letting loose a barrage of force bombs at the yellow menace.

If attack hits Hastur is stuck in a cage of force. Also, do I have to make a will save for yellow sign still?

Thank you Daisy! Here it comes Yellowman!

The first of Grimm's bombs sail by the KiY....

The second, he barely dodges!

The third is a half-hearted chuck that plops into the bay with the other two....

And no, the Yellow Sign has been miraculously erased, thanks again to Miss Daisy....

ZZZZZ.... ZZZZZZ..... ZZZZZ..... ZZZZ--SKREE!?

Rodan opens a sleepy eye as the subsonic call reaches his ears....

What!? Time to get up again!? What time is it??.... What the hell is that THRUM THRUM THRUMing!?.... Gods, thats annoying!.... It's like a.... like a.... like some stoned-out-of-his-gourd idiot with an electric guitar hooked up to a Marshall half-stack keeps strumming the same power-chord over and over again.... Is that music?.... No.... It's just an annoying sound, huh?.... It's not going away?..... Nope....

SKRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

YOU SUCK, ANNOYING SOUND!! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!

....

Alright, g#@!#+mit, I'm.... I'm getting up.... And when I get up.... I wreak havoc, b@~~~es.... I'm mothertruckin' RODAN, B+@&@ES!!!

SKRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!!

Okay! Okay! I'm getting up! And, ah.... if this thrumming isn't something really tasty or awesome-looking or something.... I'm afraid I'll be forced to wreak some mothertruckin' HAVOC, B#&@#ES!!!

The mighty pterosaur flaps its great, leathery wings, and rockets up into the sky over Krakatoa!

Dr Yamamoto activates the Kaiju Sensei on his troubled brow....

In Japanese: [i}With Anguirus, Rodan, Gojira and Mosura.... There is no way Cthulhu can stand before us, now! My master shall surely be victorious! And.... And surely he will reward me for serving him so faithfully and well![/i]

Will save vs DC 30 dominate monster 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32 succeeds!

Rodan resists the Kaiju Sensei!

SKRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!???

Seriously? Are you kidding me? This little Japanese guy's gonna try to dominate me now? What the F*@!, man!? Is it gonna be one of those kinda days? C'MON!!! I'm mothertruckin' RODAN, BEEYATCH!!

SKRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWKKK!!!

Oh S%*!!! It's Spike-Butt!! WHADDAP, SPIKE-BUTT!! Look at you swimmin'.... I didn't know you liked to swim, dude, I thought you were always more of the burrowing and land-running type.... What's with the thrumming? And can you believe this little bastard in the whirligig? Making all this noise and trying to tell me he's the boss of me.... This little punk has a lot of nerve! I'm gonna show him what's what....

Oh no.... Not dis douchebag.... I friggin' hate dis guy....

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!

OH! Hey, you! Uh, how ya been? Ya, dis little guy's da boss, now, apparently.... I was havin' a nice little nap, when dis guy comes along wit 'is boom box an' fancy magic.... I guess I fell for it, an' now I gotta go see what dis little shrimp wants me ta do.... It bettah be good, is all I'm sayin'.... So, ah.... See ya around, den....

SKRRRRAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

What!? You mean you fell for this little punk's tricks, an now you let him lead you around like a puppy dog!? That's HILARIOUS!

SSSSS-SSSSSS-SSSSSSS-SSSSS-SSSSSSS!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAARRRRRRRAAAAARRRRRRR!!!

Shut up an' help me out, a@*#$&$!

SKRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!

Nah!.... I'm gonna watch this for a little bit and see what this jackass makes you do, first! This is too good.... Wait 'til Mosura and Gojira hear about this!

SSSSSS-SSSSSSSS-SSSSSSSS-SSSSSSS-SSSSSS!!!!

GRRRRRRAAAARRRRRRRRRAAAAAARRRRRRRAAAAARRRRR!!!!

Oh, yeah!? Why don't you fly down here and laugh in my face, Bird-Boy! Wait til I get my spikes in you! Den we'll see who's makin' wif da har-hars!

One more chance.... Please.... It must work!

Activates Kaiju Sensei for the third and final time that day....

Will save vs DC 30 dominate monster 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33 succeeds....

What!? Did.... Did that little bastard just try to dominate me again?.... He did!.... He's gonna keep trying to dominate me.... He thinks I'm as gullible as Spike-Butt? Screw that noise! I'm RODAN, B@%#~ES!!

SKRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Okay, that little dork just tried me again, Spike-Butt.... I guess Rodan's gonna have to lay the smack down on his punk ass....

Why the hell are we fighting these guys anyway? We should just let them battle Cthulhu and mop up what's left. It's not cowardice, it is a brilliant strategy.

Round 6

Perception vs DC 30 to spot Hastur 1d20 + 31 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 31 + 2 = 38

Fool you think you can hide from me? I spot creatures 1/4 your size from twice the distance your position is as clear as day to me

Will save vs DC 40 insanity 1d20 + 22 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 6 = 29

Force of will to reroll that saving throw 1d20 + 22 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 22 + 6 = 35

I fail and become subject to a random insanity... the rest of my round is dependent on that

Random insanity 1d100 ⇒ 18 = mania (sickened, 50%) or phobia (shaken, 50%)....1d20 ⇒ 17 = mania (sickened) when exposed to the color yellow....

'Mania/Phobia" has an onset period of 1 day does this bypass that?

'Mania/Phobia" has an onset period of 1 day does this bypass that?

No, actually.... Your good for a day, then tomorrow you wake up bonkers if you survive this.... Of course, Daisy will most likely heal you anyway....

Excellent

Xavier raises both of his guns and takes a careful deadly aim at his target. Deadly Aim targets regular AC not touch AC I take a full attack action.

the additional +2 to hit and damage is because of bane, the additional 4d6 is from bane and holy

On-hand:1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 491d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (6) + (1, 5) + (6, 5) + 42 = 65
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (16) + 31 = 471d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (2) + (1, 2) + (6, 1) + 42 = 54
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (6) + 31 = 371d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (1) + (4, 6) + (1, 2) + 42 = 56
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (8) + 31 = 391d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (5) + (4, 6) + (2, 3) + 42 = 62
1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 381d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (3) + (6, 3) + (5, 6) + 42 = 65
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 231d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 42 ⇒ (7) + (1, 4) + (4, 3) + 42 = 61

off-hand:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (1) + 30 = 311d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 37 ⇒ (2) + (6, 6) + (2, 3) + 37 = 56
1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 261d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 37 ⇒ (5) + (1, 4) + (5, 4) + 37 = 56
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 391d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 37 ⇒ (7) + (4, 3) + (5, 4) + 37 = 60

After firing his guns he drops his off-hand weapon as a free action, and reloads his on hand weapon as a free action.

Natural 1s are not a miss because of always a chance so I don't know if that 31 hit's The King in Yellow's normal AC but if so that's a hit

Deadly Aim still targets Touch AC. It does nothing to change what firearms target. The distance to him might though. Advanced Firearms are exempt from the "Touch Attacks can't be used with Deadly Aim" rule. Says so in their description.

Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35

Marcus looks around and spots Hastur.

Somewhere. How far away is he?

Perception: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (20) + 29 = 49

Sieg likewise spots him.

Ditto, question in the last post, but for Sieg.

We'll say about 100 ft from either of you....

Sieg Charges at Hastur, aiming to put an end to his teleporting and plane shifting shenanigans.

No Power Attack this round.

Attack!: 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (17) + 41 = 58

Damage: 4d8 + 28 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 8, 2) + 28 + (3, 2) = 52

Grapple: 1d20 + 54 ⇒ (19) + 54 = 73

Crush Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 3, 6, 3, 3, 1) = 32

Constrict Damage: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Spending 2 Ki, 1 for Grab, 1 to negate his Freedom of Movement.

Once Sieg has him grabbed, he hits him, hard.

Vital Strike Amazing Initiative: 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (5) + 41 = 46

Damage: 12d8 + 87 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 6, 8, 1, 6, 8, 4, 7, 5, 8) + 87 + (3, 4) = 159

Total damage: 265. Hastur status: Grappled.

.

I just noticed that my last attack was a possible critical so I'm going to roll for it now. I have a X3 multipier because of Mythic Improved Critical

1d20 + 20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 4 = 35

Well it's normally x4, so I think you meant higher than x3 multiplier....

But Hastur's touch AC is 37, so moot point anyway....

Still, looks like you dealt 362 damage to Hastur, so not too shabby!

x5 crit with Mythic Improved Crit.

The King in Yellow screams as Xavier's hot lead sinks into him repeatedly, and again as Sieg crushes the great old one in his vice-like grip and dashes his head into the sea wall.... The body goes limp and the yellow tatters fall empty from Sieg's arms....

The King in Yellow is defeated!

(Allison's fireball deals 84 in round 4, plus Marcus' fire storm's 82 in round 5, plus Xavier's 362 in round 6, plus Sieg's 265 in round 6, minus two rounds of fast healing at +25, equals 743 damage.... So actually, a coup de grace in round 7 does it....)

The FOs finish Hastur just as Gojira gains consciousness....

The massive Kaiju rises from the sea floor, no longer dominated by Hastur, and looks around....

BBBRRRRREEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKK!!!???

Holy s@@%! So, you tiny little hairless apes not only kicked MY ass, but you killed Mosura AND that Yellow King bastard that was controlling our minds!? You guys are some f&~~in' badass, hard-boiled, big-six mother truckers! Wow! I'm truly impressed.

RRREEEEEYYYYAAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKK!!!!

Well, my buddy Mosura should be resurrecting in about a minute, so no harm, no foul there.... She likes to be dramatic and electrocute the s+#$ out of everything that touches her corpse for a moment before she's reborn.... I was gonna take my revenge on the Yellow Bastard, but I see you little apes have already done that for me.... Good job!

Is.... Is it just me, or is Godzilla smiling at us!?

Sense Motive to determine if Gojira is going to attack or be friendly 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (5) + 31 = 36....

I think you're right, Mikey.... He seems to be, uh....impressed, I guess, with how tough we are....

Merlin flies over from his rooftop perch, clapping his hands enthusiastically while his familiar, an owl named Archimedes carries his staff in its talons and soars alongside the old archmage....

Well done, as always, Fierce Ones! Splendid shooting, Mister Martin! Way to give him the what-for, Sieg! Excellent choice with the fire spells, Allison and Marcus.... Now to see if we can't get this big bloke here.... Merlin nods at Gojira.... Well under control and on our side.... With diplomacy, enabled by magic.... Not Hastur's presumptuous and heavy handed enchantments....

Merlin casts a communal tongues spell-like magic that enables the Fierce Ones to communicate with the Kaiju.... Duration permanent....

So! I understand there's another of these so called "great old ones" that got too big for his britches and lays claim to the world.... His name sounds like a sneeze to me, so I ain't even gonna try to say it.... But he has this big floating city in the Pacific that he hides out at, sending out all his goons to do his dirty work.... I heard there are some crazy-looking buildings and bridges and non-Euclidean architecture to destroy, and frankly.... That sounds pretty fun to me.... And you guys don't seem to like these "great old farts" very much, yourselves.... Wanna come with me and my buddy Mosura--when she rebirths her lazy ass and gets it off the ocean floor--and trash the place? We'll help you smash the squid-headed great old fart with the sneeze-name and his eight sons.... Chips off the old block.... Whaddya say, Tiny Hairless Killer Apes? Can I just call you the Killer Apes, or do you have another name you go by?

Mikey Jay dives into the electrified bay again, taking 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8 electricity damage as he dives down to Al'Torac's corpse and grabs the broken gold dragon by the tail....

He flies/swims with freedom of movement up through the water, taking another 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) = 16 electricity as he hauls up the gold dragon carcass and lays it beside Yingzen's body on the sea wall....

Once Mikey has retrieved the bodies of Yingzen and Al'Torac, which aren't actually dead (just mostly dead) thanks to Radsworth's mythic magics, Daisy calls everyone to gather near their fallen companions, and invited Gojira to join them.

When all are within range, she casts mass heal, restoring 180 hp to everyone, and restoring sanity to anyone with an insanity....

Allison quietly casts Enhanced Diplomacy on herself before flying over to speak to Gojira (her projected image that is, as the true Allison is still perfectly invisible).

Take 10 on Diplomacy check (+40) for a result of 50

Already fluent in Japanese, the doctor effortlessly speaks to the giant kaiju without reliance on Merlin's spells, although her German accent still stands out a bit.

Herr Kaiju-san, I believe I speak for all of us in saying that we would appreciate your aid in the upcoming battles. Your prowess in this battle was most impressive to say the least. Also, I have no objections to you laying waste to the city of R'lyeh, but I would be most appreciative if you spared the human settlements we pass along the way.

-------------

A minute after her death and submersion into Hong Kong Bay, Mosura bursts forth from the bay and shakes the water off of her wings and great fuzzy body, showering everyone in a 100-ft radius with bay water....

Daaaaaayyyyyuuuuuummm!!! You little apes are nasty tough! You killed that Yellow A!~#*~*, I hope?

Well, it's all Pacific Ocean between here and there anyway, little girl, so I guess that's cool.... No human settlements to smash on the way, anyway....

When Mosura flies up and says what she says, Gojira seems to bellow with laughter at his soaked buddy....

We got our asses kicked by tiny little hairless apes, Mosura! We must be getting old.... Yup, they killed our former puppeteer, too.... See that little scrap of yellow robe floating on the water? That's all that's left of him! These Killer Apes are seriously bad dudes! Hehehehe....

Ah! Very well done, little ones! I'd give a high five, but my wing might accidentally cut you in half! Now, what about this other great old one the King in Yellow was always ranting about? Shouldn't he be dealt with in like manner?

This deadly little girl and I were just talking about that, Mosura.... It seems we might have a nice little team-up here, like in the comic books! Gojira, King of the Kaiju, and his faithful side-kick Mosura, plus the Tiny Killer Apes, versus The Evil Doctor Octopus-Head! This is gonna be a hoot!

Once more, take 10 for a 50 on my diplomacy check to win over Mosura if needed.

Indeed, Frau Mosura-san, you speak of the Great Old One, the Dread Lord of R'Lyeh Cthuhu. We would be honoured for your help in such a battle. The fate of the whole world, including grand creatures such as the kaiju rests in defeating this threat. None can sit by and rest while his plans go unchecked. And as I promised, Herr Gojira-san, the city of Cthulhu would present a rather unique challenge to demolish.

Um, no. I am NOT your "side-kick", you big dumb iguana! If anything, I'm like your keeper.... You are my war-beast! So the comic book headline would read "Mosura, Defender of Earth, and her faithful war-beast, Gojira, plus the Tiny Killer Apes, versus Cthulhu!!" Sounds like a best-seller!

Gojira looks at Allison and grins....

She's totally my side-kick....

Well, then, Miss.... I would be honored to join your noble quest to defeat the evil Cthulhu and wreck his crazy city of monsters!.... And he is totally my war-beast!

Sweet! Hahaha! This is gonna be so....epic! But before we go swimming off to R'lyeh, the King in Yellow was badapping about treasures beyond our wildest dreams in his treasure vault.... Do you think that was a bunch of crap to get us to stop beating on him, or should we go looking for this grand treasure hoard?
