His Overland Flight still active, Radsworth considers the actions of those trying to ingratiate themselves with the greater power of the old ones.

The Snake God Yig was another weight on the very imbalanced scales of this universe. He again turns his mind to Sun Mi and her future.

The snake would have to go.

Yingzen leaps through the portal, Dawnsaber, the Blade of Oberon, scintillating with rainbow hues in his black hands, and slices a deep gash in the serpentine trunk of one of the two naga archons!

The Rumble in Mexico City! Round uno!! Eeeeek!! EEEEK!!

Yingzen! (Struck naga archon)
Al'Torac! (Cast disintegrate on Yig)
Yig! (Cast control weather)
Aghasura asuras (4)! (Readied attacks)
Naga archons (2)! (Cast mage armor on selves)
Medusa! (Gaze attack on Yingzen)
Snake-headed Balor demons (2)! (Cast blasphemy on Yingzen)
Serpentfolk priests (2)! (Cast energy drain on Yingzen)
Derrik Stonesmith!
Mikey Jay!
Koran "The Hammer of Thor"!
Marcus Greer!
Sieg Alfbrecht!
Drug lord 'El Grande'!
Marilith demons (4)!
Daisy Eaglefeather!
Professor Radsworth Pennington!
Drug Lord Nazario Gonzalez!
Drug Lord Vincente Fuentes!
Drug Lord Hector Beltran Leyva!

Eeeeeeek!!! Eeeeeeek!!!!

Retroactively, instead of readying blasphemy, the snake-headed balors would have Yingzen and Al'Torac as targets on their side of the portal, and would use their blasphemy as soon as their turn came up....

The snake-headed balors hiss vile blasphemies at Yingzen and Al'Torac! Both must attempt Will saves, DC 25, or be dazed 1 round!

Medusa gazes at Yingzen! He must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or be permanently turned to stone!

I think it's save or be Dazed and Weakened, since we're still 19th level. So if he saves, he takes a 1d6 penalty to Str for 2d4 rounds, or 2d6 penalty if he fails.

Getting back into playing a high level caster after so long is hard.

Marcus will use a Mythic Power to cast Overwhelming Presence, augmented to be Persistent by his Rod and spend another Mythic Power to activate his Mythic Spell Focus.

Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (1) + 38 = 39
Spell Penetration 2: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (4) + 38 = 42

Assuming that overcomes most target's SR (though not Yig's, I think), every enemy on the field must make three DC 33 Will saves. Failure of one of them means they are Helpless for the next 22 rounds, success means they are merely staggered for 1d4 ⇒ 1. This is a Mind Affecting Compulsion effect.

"Bow before my awesomeness!"

Big issue there Rynjin. One its targets chosen, Two they cant be more than 30 feet away from any other like haste. Three They get a save every round. Yingzen might want to surge.

Aw, nuts. Depending on how clustered they are together I may want to change my action then. I just wanted to get a chance to screw somebody over with that spell before this game ends. =)

I assume the groupings are clustered but I doubt much more than that. How about We see after Derrik's turn what is alive and what is not.

Mike you didnt roll the Energy Drains. Also are we at ground level? I'll assume so.

Derrik steps out of the portal soon after, his intimidating presence seen by the ill-brought evil around. His radiant goodness likely palpable in the eyes of the various demons, abominations and even Yig himself. The contrasting black and white rune-etched armor, steel Ithoqua apparatus and weaponry made him a sight to behold as the enemy rained down attacks upon him.

He is undaunted by whatever they may do, his aim the serpent-god at the center of all of this. Dawnbringer raised to the skies as he brings down a mighty proclamation.

" Lo and behold wretched Yig and ALL evil in this land. You have grown fat on fear, destruction, murder and savagery! You have desolated these lands with your corrupting FILTH and sickening presence as if thus world was you play thing. I.. Am Derrik Stonesmith and WE are THE FIERCE ONES! There shall no longer be any tolerance for your actions and you shall be PURGED from this world forever more. Your Reign is at an End! So say WE. Yig, I shall personally make your head roll, I have deemed you Trash, a stain on this plane ! PREPARE YOURSELVES, ALL OF YOU! FOR THE WRATH OF HUMANITY'S DETERMINATION! "

Derrik begins to glow brightly both a Red and Azure hue.. that mixes into a green aura. in a blink of an eye his spectral chains fling him into the air, he is upon the Snake God falling from the sky cutting through the winds with his very form. Dawnbringer raised high and slashing down with divine fervor!

The serpentfolk priests point scaly fingers at Yingzen and hiss unholy words of magic, and black rays of negative energy shoot toward the tengu sword master!

I know it's probably hard to picture the battlefield without a battle mat, but the closest targets to the portal are the two naga archons, standing 10 feet in front of the portal and ten feet from each other. The two snake-headed balors stand about 20 feet laterally from each of the two naga archons and about 30 ft from each side of the 10-ft-diameter portal. The two serpentfolk priests stand about 20 ft behind the naga archons and about 40 ft from the portal. Medusa stands about 60 ft from the portal and has line of sight to it between the naga archons. The four mariliths are about 80 ft from the portal, forming a line roughly 70 ft wide, with about 10 ft between each. The four aghasura asura stand in a line about 70 ft wide, with about 10 ft between each, staggered with the mariliths so all have unobstructed views of the portal, and about 60 ft from the portal, with Medusa in between the middle two. The four drug lords stand in a close cluster about 80 ft back from the portal and about 30 ft to one side of the marilith line. Yig is coiled atop the ziggurat, about 100 ft back from the portal and 200 ft above ground level. All other enemies are in the ground level.

With the above layout in mind, which enemies would Marcus target with his spell?

Mike you didnt roll the Energy Drains. Also are we at ground level? I'll assume so.

Yig is 100 ft back from the portal and 200 ft up on top of the ziggurat.... Can Derrik reach him this round? If not, he could certainly target any of the other foes with his mythic hero leap....

Derrik's Land Speed is 180, Fly Speed is 90 and He Jumped 110 and his leap also counts as a charge... so I would assume yes

The Father of Serpents hisses in outrage and pain as Derrik lands a mighty blow on its scaly head!

Get 'em, Koran!! Eeeeeek!!!!

Yig cast control weather to summon winds strong enough to prevent flying, but I suppose a mythic heroic leap ought to trump such magics.... Mikey Jay finds himself unable to fly forward on passing through the portal, but has no trouble running 10 feet to the nearer naga archon....

Yig is currently suppressing his unspeakable presence so as not to drive all of his minions insane....

Derrik, please attempt a Fortitude save vs DC 18 for Medusa's petrifying gaze....

Koran, please attempt a DC 18 Fortitude save versus Medusa's stony gaze....

Koran you didnt jump that high.. again. And distance is an issue for your attacks. We start 100 away, and then 200 ft up so unless you can bridge that gap with movement you cant get to him.

Heroic Fort Save: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (2) + 30 = 32

[ooc]I charge 160 feet and then leap.[ooc]

Fort: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (10) + 29 = 39

The leap itself is a charge otherwise I could have full attacked. Your movement is perhaps 70-80 ft... Then from that point its 20ft up most likely at an incline.. So say you double moved, That would mean you cant charge any more. Derrik or Mikey can get there because of our increased Speed possibly But Koran would need to Double move To get ~ 20 ft up the Ziggarut Which would leave a gap of ~180 ft. Even with the Leap you got ~ 95 ft which is still 80~ish short. And we cant fly sadly.

I know it's probably hard to picture the battlefield without a battle mat, but the closest targets to the portal are the two naga archons, standing 10 feet in front of the portal and ten feet from each other. The two snake-headed balors stand about 20 feet laterally from each of the two naga archons and about 30 ft from each side of the 10-ft-diameter portal. The two serpentfolk priests stand about 20 ft behind the naga archons and about 40 ft from the portal. Medusa stands about 60 ft from the portal and has line of sight to it between the naga archons. The four mariliths are about 80 ft from the portal, forming a line roughly 70 ft wide, with about 10 ft between each. The four aghasura asura stand in a line about 70 ft wide, with about 10 ft between each, staggered with the mariliths so all have unobstructed views of the portal, and about 60 ft from the portal, with Medusa in between the middle two.

Yig is coiled atop the ziggurat, about 100 ft back from the portal and 200 ft above ground level. All other enemies are in the ground level.

It doesn't look as though I can catch more than two guys. Mind if I change my action to something a little more wide-reaching? Or at least less expensive.

Marcus decides to be a bit reckless, transforming into a Huge Bronze Dragon. He flies to the middle of (but 20 feet above) the combined Marilith/Agasura line, and claps his claws together.

"Hallelujah!"

Holy Word. Everything within a 40 ft. radius/80 ft. diameter (which should be all the Mariliths and Aghasuras, and maybe a few others?) must make a DC 31 Will save.

Edit: Using Inspired Spell to cast this for the +2 CL.

If they are 12 HD or less, they die. Success means they take 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (3, 5, 3) + 22 = 33 damage instead.

If they are 17 HD or less, they are also paralyzed for 1d10 ⇒ 7 MINUTES. Success reduces this to one round.

If they are 21 HD or less, they are also Blinded for 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 rounds. Success reduces that to just the first d4 rounds.

And if they are 22 HD or less, they are also Deafened for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds. Save negates.

Additionally, any Non-Good Outsider in the area must make a DC 31 Will save (at a -4 penalty) or be instantly banished back to their home plane, where they may not return from for 24 hours.

Is this Mythic Holy Word?

Is this Mythic Holy Word?

Sadly, no. I didn't know there was a Mythic Holy Word when I was picking Mythic Spells, so I got other stuff instead. It would have definitely been a pick otherwise (over Mythic Holy Smite and Mythic Command for certain).

Sadpanda; Marcus' CL is 20?

Yeah. 19th level + Orange Prism. I should have cast it using my Inspired Spell, so I'd be CL 22. One sec, I'm going to do that.

Will save vs DC 31 holy word 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 This aghasura is banished by Marcus' holy word!

Ooh, I caught the Balors too? bonus points!

Guess that makes it Sieg's turn.

Sieg drops to the ground, charges at the remaining Balor, and Rages, growing Large.

Vital Strike: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (18) + 37 = 55

Damage: 24d8 + 272 ⇒ (1, 8, 2, 6, 6, 1, 8, 8, 6, 4, 3, 3, 8, 1, 6, 4, 7, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2, 4, 5) + 272 = 377

I think that kills it. If not, I Grapple:

Grapple (Hamatula): 1d20 + 54 ⇒ (17) + 54 = 71

And swing it at the nearest other enemy, or the ground.

Swing: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (6) + 31 = 37

Damage: 1d8 + 31 ⇒ (3) + 31 = 34

"RAAAAWR!"

Did Seig actually charge?

Umm. No. Derp. Subtract 2 from the attack.

Its more you cant Vital Strike and charge. Also did Sieg get a bonus from the change to get an extra boost to damage? I assume the size increase gives a +... 36 but that seems to miss something. Either way it Provokes.

I'm just going by what the Vital Strike damage is listed on my sheet. It's the same as I had been using. I'll figure it up later.

AoO with +1 vorpal shock whip 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50 lashes Sieg for 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 slashing plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 electricity damage plus entangle 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (20) + 33 = 53, drawing Sieg adjacent and grappling him!

Confirm vorpal crit 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42 confirms! Sieg's head is whipped from his shoulders by the snake-headed balor's vorpal whip! The hero falls dead....

OMG!! So sorry, Sieg! :-o

This looks like a job for: JINGASA!

I believe I can negate that crit like any other.

If not, I use Force of Will to make him re-roll that initial attack roll (since I don't think Vorpal needs to Confirm, it's just 20 = Kill), unless he's a Mythic Balor.

It depends, did you use any swift actions on your turn?
