The creature appears on the right side of the room.

Mitleid and then top of round two.

Mitleid

Unable to properly identify the beast, Cuthalian declares a judgement of justice on the beast. "Justice we shall have devil spawn."

Justice +2, Power atk -2, +6 dmg

K Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Mitleid never heard of an illusion he could smell before!

Mitleid quickly unleashes a few arrows.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 191d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

'I can't let these two have all the fun.' Seeing Cuthalian and Mitleid attack the now visible creature, Elathras begins to rage, moving across the room (under the mirror) swinging his great sword, he yells "Making Thoron uglier like that, wasn't nice!"

AC @ 15, Move action:30 ft, attack:MW Silver Greatsword: Rage, PA, RA
attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 for damage: 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 9 + 6 = 23

Looks to see if anyone's really hurt this thing.

No one hits. Elathras, Mitleid and Cuthalian make Will saves please
Silvash and Thoron are up.

since some of us were providing cover, did mitleid hit anyone else?
will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

nope

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Silvash moves into the room and looks carefully around and says "Be careful all something may still not be right after the illusions we saw before. Something made those and we haven't found it yet."

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

you can always talk

Alana continues to concentrate as the world explodes around her as her companions go into attack mode on the strange creature that has appeared in the room. Following her gut feeling that more illusion shenanigans are at play, she holds off on supporting the attack as none of the companions appear to be in dire straits...yet.

"Drat, another illusion!" Cuthalian growls after seeing his sword pass through the thing. "Look alive, it's around here somewhere."

[ooc]A 25 to hit does not hit?[/Dice]
Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

'What is Cuthalian talking about the thing is right there?' Taking his eyes off of the creature for a split second, Elathras looks at he elven friend. "What are you talking about Cuthalian, he's right there!"

Surprise surprise, and illusion, so can elathras automatically believe and the thing goes away, or does he have to keep rolling will saves?

Silvash says loudly, "We can back out of the room and fill it with fire or poison gases or, if you don't intend to any harm to use you can show yourself and we can talk."

Diplomacy if needed: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Mitleid, make a DC23 Will save and if you fail make a DC23 Fort.
You all see the creature casting.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

oh no, Phantasmal Killer. No one will see the horrors Mitleid is about to face and no one will be able to help him either.

"Mitleid, no matter what you face in the next few seconds it is not real...fight against it!"

phantasmal killer

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
The tough dwarf laughs at the puny magic.
OI GEVALT, I thought that would be the end of Mitleid!

Your turn then Mitleid

"My sword passed through the one we can see. The real one is about here somewhere." Cuthalian says backing away, closing his eyes and listening for the next casting in hopes to hear a location.

PERCEPTION: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

I'm casting bless on the party, it'll gives us a small advantage (+1 to hit and saves vs fear effects)

"Let's get out of here while we're still alive!!!
moves up to give support 5' behind Alana

Mitleid
Initiative Order Round Three
Cuthalian
Alana
Silvash
Elathras
Thoron
enemy
Mitleid

round 3 will save you know it's coming. would you add any extra points for hearing Cuthalian?

'The real one? What am I swinging at?' Looking from the monster to Cuthalian, then back to the monster he asks, "Not the real one? It looks the same!"

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 hhhmmm I really hopethat extra amount is like ... 30

Mitleid quickly attacks the casting creature.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 221d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Cuthalian
Alana
Silvash
Thoron

Listening, with a readied action to charge if I can hear it casting.

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 141d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Silvash tries to shake off the illusion that Cuthalian pointed out.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

so elathras rolled a will save, but did not take his action. Does he still believe the illusion is real or does he 'see' the real threat?

You hear the casting, it is coming from the creature you see.
Elathras and Silvash still believe the creature is real.

"Alana, can you dispel this thing?" Cuthalian asks while trying to think of a way to find the hidden assailant. "What about glitter dust or invisibility purge? Anyone have that?"

Mitleid's arrows passed right through the image.

'Need to focus, can't afford to miss this thing again.' Shifting his right foot forward, Elathras shifts the weight of his swinging greatsword, he brings it full circle and strikes at the things thighs, "Monster I will bring you down!"

rage 5 rds, Attack, AC @ 15 MW Silver Greatsword: Rage, PA, RA
attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 for damage: 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 + 6 = 19

Having identified several points of magic within the room, Alana is surprised at the fact that the mirror on the ceiling is radiating a stonger magic than the cat faced thingy everyone else is focused on. Concentrating briefly, she focuses on the mirror to try and ascertain its effects:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"So the mirror is somehow divining things and then creating others...hmmm."

Save vs Illusion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"That thing looks real enough to me..."

"...it does have an intense magical aura about it though, perhaps a spell in action?"

K. Arcana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

"Ah, he is a Rakshasa, a fabled and powerful outer planes creature that commands the powers of illusion, but not any Rakshasa, he is a Maharaja, a noble of their kind. That explains the many powerful illusions we have seen thus far. WE CAN TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED UNTIL HE IS DESTROYED!" [b]

Alana shouts to Mitleid, [b] "Mitelid, quick, shoot out the mirror on the ceiling. I think it is augmenting his power and preventing us form harming him!"

Alana will delay her spell until after Mitleid has had a chance to shoot the mirror and then she will unleash a Magic Missile augmented with a reservoir point to increase her caster level at the Rakshasa.

Thoron up

Has anyone been hurt so far by this creature?

Not as yet, no

The creature disappears through the mirror in the ceiling.

Fires crossbow quarrel at mirror
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
if hits damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Seeing the creature flee into the ceiling mirror, Elathras turns to Alana, just as Thoron looses his crossbow quarrel, pointing towards the mirror with his sword "A Rak what? Are they supposed to fly like that?"

Brv, are we still in combat rounds?

no, we are out of combat
