Kate uses her final channel for today to heal up her allies....
damage healed to all FOs (except Grimm, who is out of her 30-ft range)....
That's it boys, the milk's dried up for today....
She backs up to the stairs beside Radsworth....

Stepping to the edge of Mephos' grease slick, Koran swings wildly, but both his targets slip and fall right as the earth breaker passes, narrowly missing them both!
After Krar and Radsworth get in their actions, the next round begins, and Grimm races back through the doorway, sees and avoids the greased area, and shouts, "Fierce Ones, get out now! Someone cast shield!", as he runs for the stairs....

Kepler pulls the stuffing out of Cobb, and the jack-o-lantern eyes go dark as the scarecrow collapses in a heap of wood, cloth, and straw!
Reba steps outside to see Kepler rending Cobb asunder and gasps in mock fright.
She casts suggestion on Levinson--Will save DC 21 resists.
My, that thing seems rather aggressive.... I suggest you dismiss it back to whatever savage dimension it's native to, then come inside so we can have a little fun....
Levinson's readied shot knocks a hole in the aged wood of a column supporting the shingled porch awning....
That's got to be some kind of demon, compadres.... Be careful!
Eagle-Feather soars over to the roof of the saloon and perches over the front porch, over the demoness' head....
The giant ant scurries 15 ft over to Reba and snaps its mandibles at her shapely leg....
Bite misses....
I suggest you shut your evil dong-sucker and prepare for a one-way back to the Demon World, whore!
Greg charges the succubus, taking -2 to his AC until his next turn, swinging his double axe two-handed with Power Attack and connecting, dealing 12 damage after DR! Reba screams in pain!
Kitty exits the saloon, takes in the scene, and casts deep slumber on Greg! Will DC 14 to resist....
Will save vs DC 14 deep slumber.... fails! Greg collapses into a snoring heap on the porch!
Both the succubus and the lamia giggle evilly at the sleeping Navajo brave lying at their feet!
"Yeah... Maybe you should go home Kepler."
Levinson spends a standard action to banish the eidolon.

Derrik hears the Warning and steps up To wound the Nazis gravely before whatever happens goes off. Swinging sword down upon the fallen soldiers with merciless precision.

Yingzen springs onto the porch from around the corner of the saloon, Elven curved blade flashing, but the demoness' hide is deceptively stronger than it appears, and the blade is turned!

[dice=Powerful Excalibur Slash]1d20+10;1d8+12+2d6
Excalibur carves a deep gash in the thigh of one of the fallen Nazis, causing him to scream out in pain!
Hearing Grimm's warning as the alchemist dashes past, Dwayne turns and runs after him, passing him by at the base of the stairs and starting up two steps at a stride....
Oh s++@, Doc, what'd you do? You blowin' this place sky high or somethin'?
Knowing the shield other spell linking her with Derrik will end if she gets more than 35 ft from him, Kate simply gives chase after Grimm, dashing up the spiral stairs and bypassing him. The shield other spell ends.
KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

YEESSSS!
Perception vs DC -10 to hear the propane tank explode from some 120 ft away, through several stone walls, the hull of The Kraken, and a wooden coffin, while in a torpor (total penalty -27)
The glorious dream of conquest, of supping on giants' blood, comes to an abrupt end, dashed away by a sound of doom.... The deep, resonant report of an explosion somewhere above.... Von Ulrik opens his crimson eyes and bares his dagger-like fangs with a hiss of alarm....

[dice=Reflex Save]1d20+5
12 fire damage to Derrik!
The Fire seems to be the first amount of true pain Derrik had felt in the course of the assault it staggers him somewhat gut his positioning allowed one of the crewman to take the brunt of the explosion instead allowing him to react appropriately. Fumes of heat and steam rising from him as he uncrosses his weapon-clad arms and stares down the remaining Thralls.
The Fierce Ones, minus Derrik, are safe within the spiral stairwell when the propane tank detonates.
The explosion routes the surviving Nazis, who flee to The Kraken, using withdraw where necessary to escape Derrik's wrath!
AAAAAAAAARRG!!! Mein fleisch!! Es hertzen mein fleisch!!
Retreat! Retreat!
Ich kuchen!! Mein wiener ist geflammen!!
The three Nazi submariners withdraw as best they can, given the grease.... Two crawl across the slippery floor, while the other attempts to run....
Reflex save vs DC 17 fails! The Nazi still standing slips and falls to the floor!
" You are nothing.. and your Leader is nothing! You chose the wrong path and you and every one of your filth shall be purged.. Run like the dog you are..."
Derrik points with an intimidating glare as he speaks not sure the man understands him but getting the point across.
Derrik allows them to be a message to whoever their leader is and a message to Evil in general They would not be allowed to do as they please... for the Man-in-Steel comes for them, and the Fierce Ones shall show their name is not an exaggeration. He sheathes Dawnbringer into its mechanism on his right arm, Holding the shining blade Excalibur in his left; His right hand making a fist that sends positive energy throughout his body.
" Is everyone else fine? The Rats have been routed like the mind-addled Vermin they are... I believe they got the message quite well... Excalibur felt the tinge of much evil-flesh this battle too. Kate did you cancel the spell? I did not want you to have to Endure that.. but The imagery of a Warrior surviving whatever came at them and continue to slay them, will unsettle our enemy.."
Now, that's much better, honey.... You are a pretty little thing, aren't you?
Reba steps 5 ft away from Yingzen, backing into the doorway, and casts charm monster on Levinson.... Will DC 22 to resist....
I'm okay, Derrik.... Are you okay?
He nods slowly to Kate, the fusion of the Fierce Sea serpent's face and open maw reticulated tail and scale-like plating upon Armor and helmet.
" I shall live... did you yourself not state I was much like the Disney Hero's of old.. a simple explosion never harms a Hero.. much. I wanted to thank you Kate for experiencing a glimpse of what I often take... it is not as easy as it seems.. is it? "
"Well, I suppose a drink wouldn't hurt..."
Levinson follows the succubus towards the saloon.
Kitty tries her hand at charming, casting charm monster on Yingzen, Will DC 15 to resist....
Purrrrrr! Kitty likes birdies....
Eagle-Feather shakes her head in despair and flies fast, back the way they came!
Oh s~$@, Daisy.... All your friends are toast, and you will be, too, if you don't fly like an eagle the f*$$ out of here! Got to get help!
What's the plan, y'all? We bailing 'n coming back tomorrow?
Dwayne Lee pops a fresh clip in his AR-15....
Yeah, you take a lot of punishment when the heavy hits land, but that armor really does make you feel pretty invincible, doesn't it? I got a taste of what it's like to be you, and Koran, and Krar.... It's a bitter taste, my friend! Hurts to be you! Hehe!
Kate looks down the stairs at the smoke cloud billowing out of the chamber below.
Ya, I'd say we'd better come back tomorrow.... I'm tapped out, and the vampire is sure to have heard that big boom.... I think we've lost the element of surprise, but we won a victory over a dozen Nazi vampire-lovers.... Let's find Merlin and hunker down somewhere cozy for the night....
Each PC gets 2,400 XP. Whatever this brings your new total XP to will be the amount of XP Levinson and Yingzen start out with as well, even if it levels everyone to 6th.
Merlin comes strolling up the stairs out of the billowing smoke, coughing and waving the smoke out of his face.
*Cough!* I say, that was a rather dramatic conclusion to your first encounter with Von Ulrik's men! Well done, Fierce Ones! As for that conniving witch, Morgan.... Well, she.... She was soundly punished for what she did to me, I tell ye! Soundly punished!
A curious blush briefly darkens Merlin's wrinkled visage....
Ahem.... And after we, ah, after I punished her good and hard....a few times....she apologized for imprisoning me under Stonehenge for 16 centuries, and for various and sundry other misdeeds over the centuries.... And as it turns out, she's really on our side, after all.... She may be rotten as a worm-eaten apple, but she no more wishes to bow and scrape before The Great Old One than does any other sane soul.... She cursed The Loch Ness Monster to guard the sword to prevent anyone from claiming it, and enchanted the Lady of the Lake to sleep with the sword in a deadly prismatic sphere to triply guard Excalibur....until the true Arthur returned to claim it! That is why the beast didn't shred you to pieces....and why the prismatic sphere was dismissed, and the Lady awakened, at Derrik's presence.... Morgan Le Fey was keeping Excalibur safe for Arthur's return.... She kept it safe for you, Derrik.... So I.... I let her go....
Merlin looks at his alligator-skin boots and scratches his balding pate with a sigh.
