Samnell's Gestalt, Mythic Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Samnell

Galin returns to the others, informing them of what he's heard and reminding them of what they know about nabassu. I'll take a moment to pray to Arqueros before we attack, does anyone have any other preparations they'd like to make?
I'll be putting up a Blessing of Good on my bow, and casting Divine Favor before we attack, should the others agree that an attack is the best plan.

Blink nodded, gripping her sword tighter. "Ready when you folk are."

Really need to get some buff spells next level up...

Theran hefts his hammer and gets ready to burst in.

Last call for pre-fight buffing!

Round 1
Yridhrennor spoke the words of a quick summons and a mote of heavenly light appeared at his side.

Then the demons struck. The first gripped its throat and for a terrible instant Yridhrennor felt his own closing before he could fight off the demonic magic. The second breathed deeply, a crackling black aura about its mouth. Something bright rushed out of Steave's chest, diminishing him. The third gestured with both hands and Yridhrennor, his archon, and Theran all froze in place. The fourth's eyes smoldered with abyssal power, and Galin and Yridhrennor both felt lessened as Steave had. Even the archon burned more dimly.

That archon is having a terrible time. He must only be a week away from retirement.

Steave, Blink, Galin, Yridhrennor, and the Archon have 1 negative level
Theran and Yridrennor are paralyzed for 8/8. Can re-save each round.

Order is Yridhrennor, Demons, Galin, Blink, Theran, Steave. The party is up!

Galin groans as he feels the demon's power take effect, but quickly regains focus and steps up behind Blink, sending a flurry of arrows through the doorway at the demon most directly within his sights.

Round 2
Galin groans as he feels the demon's power take effect, but quickly regains focus and steps up behind Blink, sending a flurry of arrows through the doorway at the demon most directly within his sights. If not for his final arrow missing, he might well have slain the demon then and there.

Activating her Shadow Veil, Blink moved in to confront one of the monster...before they weakened them any more. Her blade cut deep into the unsuspecting demon beside the door. As she drew her blade back, Theran broke free of the enchantment over him.

Steave charges into the room and attacks the demon. He delivered a tremendous blow that send the demon reeling, abyssal ichor flying up from the wound as a small torrent of locusts that died as they touched the ceiling.

Blink's demon ripped into her with one claw and dragged her into reach of its slavering maw to sample her tender, airy flesh and clearly savored the taste. The one Galin feathered sucked more life from him while the one Steave cut deep vanished, reappearing through a twist in the air behind Yridhrennor. The last's eyes flared hot red and Theran joined the ranks of the spiritually diminished, while Blink, Yridhrennor, and Galin felt themselves sapped of a second helping.

Steave, Theran, and the Archon have 1 negative level
Blink and Yridhrennor, have 2 negative levels
Galin has three negative levels. Really not his day.
Yridrennor is paralyzed for 7/8. Can re-save each round.

Order is Yridhrennor (paralyzed), Demons, Galin, Blink, Theran, Steave. The party is up!

Oof.
Galin steps into the corridor so as to have a glimpse of the demon behind Yridhrennor, but in his care to not strike either of his companions only one arrow flies true.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Steave steps back to follow his targeted demon and throws his shield. The round red-white-and-blue shield ricochets around Yridhrennor and hits the intimidated demon.

Quickly, arcane words spill over Yridhrennor's lips, almost unintelligible, at first. But, as he continues, the meaning of the spell becomes clear: MOVE FASTER!! WORK FASTER!

At the same time, the Lantern archon settles on the most wounded of the heroes and fills him with healing light.

haste!

Y is still paralyzed. Bad will save.

Blink? Theran?

Sorry, I've posted this twice. Paizo thinks my posts are delicious.

Whimpering as yet more life energy drained from her, Blink dodged to one side, making sure her Blur effect would help keep her safe, and struck again.

Apparently Paizo doesn't want to tell me about new posts in this game. On top of relatives having surgery and all sorts of other stuff. I now know far too many people who have had kidneys removed. *sigh*

Theran moves into the room, ready to purge the demons there.
Raging!, moving and attacking.

Round 3
Galin steps into the corridor so as to have a glimpse of the demon behind Yridhrennor, but in his care to not strike either of his companions only one arrow flies true.

Whimpering as yet more life energy drained from her, Blink dodged to one side, making sure her Blur effect would help keep her safe, and struck again. Her blade couldn't quite score.

Theran moves into the room, ready to purge the demons there. His haste threw his aim off and his earthbreaker failed to connect.

Steave steps back to follow his targeted demon and throws his shield. The round red-white-and-blue shield ricochets around Yridhrennor and hits the intimidated demon. I have Civil War on while I'm resolving this, incidentally.

The demon behind Yridhrennor struck him with a claw crackling with black lightning. Where it touched, his skin withered and the demons wounds began to heal. Another fell inhalation diminished Theran greatly, while the demon he'd rushed to scratched his arm with one claw. The other launched itself at Blink, but fell prey to her confusing shadows and swift reflexes and never so much as broke her skin.

Steave and the Archon have 1 negative level
Blink and Yridhrennor, have 2 negative levels
Galin and Theran have three negative levels. Really not his day.
Yridrennor is paralyzed for 6/8. Can re-save each round.

Order is Yridhrennor (paralyzed), Demons, Galin, Blink, Theran, Steave. The party is up!

Galin fires another volley at the demon behind Yridhrennor, but again only one arrow hits its mark.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (8) + (6, 4) + 14 = 32
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + (2) + 7 = 10

Well, at least that had gone well. Blink swished to the side again, bare feet skimming over the floor, blade flashing and hoping to strike infernal flesh this time.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 5 - 2 = 30

Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sneak Attack: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) = 13

Steave steps back again toward Yridhrennor and throws his shield at his targeted demon. The round red-white-and-blue shield ricochets around Yridhrennor and hits the intimidated demon before ricocheting back to the crusader.

Theran?

He blinks a few times to get the black spots out of his eyes. They fade, but the blackness at the edge of his sight doesn't. Still, there's something here trying to kill him. Trying to kill everybody. His arms feel heavy, but that can't stop him. He swings to try and kill this thing. Maybe if it dies he can lay down.

[/b]Round 4[/b]
Galin fires another volley at the demon behind Yridhrennor, but again only one arrow hits its mark. One hit or no, the demon staggered under the weight of the strike.

Well, at least that had gone well. Blink swished to the side again, bare feet skimming over the floor, blade flashing and hoping to strike infernal flesh this time. Her foot slipped at just the wrong moment and her blade slid just to the side of abyssal flesh.

Theran blinked a few times to get the black spots out of his eyes. They fade, but the blackness at the edge of his sight doesn't. Still, there's something here trying to kill him. Trying to kill everybody. His arms feel heavy, but that can't stop him. He swings to try and kill this thing. Maybe if it dies he can lay down. His stroke felled the demon, which boiled away in a chaos of beetles and snakes that melted to nothing as they reached the floor.

Steave steps back again toward Yridhrennor and throws his shield at his targeted demon. The round red-white-and-blue shield ricochets around Yridhrennor and hits the intimidated demon before ricocheting back to the crusader. It returned through the demon's chest, spraying the elf with something foul-smelling as it came. As the ichor fell upon his skin, the elf broke free from his paralysis!

Yridhrennor?

Yridhrennor will cast HASTE now.

At Staeve's should, Yridhrennor stirs himself to action. Quickly, arcane words spill over Yridhrennor's lips, almost unintelligible, at first. But, as he continues, the meaning of the spell becomes clear: MOVE FASTER!! WORK FASTER!

At the same time, the Lantern archon settles on the most wounded of the heroes and fills him with healing light.

The spell-speed wasn't quite enough to spare Theran's flesh as one of the teams clawed into it, but the second blow was a near thing. A second more and he might have dodged it. Blink had far worse luck, nearly torn down by the demon still attacking her. Scenting her blood, its face split in a vile grin.

Everyone is hasted.

Order is Yridhrennor, Demons, Galin, Blink, Theran, Steave. The party is up!.

Seeing Yridhrennnor freed, Galin immediately turns towards the demon assaulting Blink. Aided by arcane and divine magic, gold-laced arrows fly from his raised bow at first Blink's enemy and then the final creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

...Double 20s, that works I guess.

Her vision swimming, Blink gasped at the hideous wounds. She couldn't survive being looked at, let alone attacked. Instead she Teleported out of range and, wincing, began to chant.

Round 5
Seeing Yridhrennnor freed, Galin immediately turns towards the demon assaulting Blink. Aided by arcane and divine magic, gold-laced arrows fly from his raised bow at first Blink's enemy and then the final creature. His first two arrows slew her demon. His third winged the last.

Her vision swimming, Blink gasped at the hideous wounds. She couldn't survive being looked at, let alone attacked. Instead she Teleported out of range and, wincing, began to chant.

Theran shakes his head as the flashing red-white and blue of Steave's shield moves way to fast for him. Between that and the beetles, he's too busy losing his lunch to aim very well.

The hasted veteran crusader pounds the demon a couple of times with his red-white-blue Andoran-colored round shield. With the second blow, the hero of the First Crusade dispatched the final demon.

Steave and the Archon have 1 negative level
Blink and Yridhrennor, have 2 negative levels
Galin and Theran have three negative levels. Really not their day.

Galin's shoulders slump as soon as the last demon dissolves into nothing. After a moment, his head snaps up and he turns to find Blink. Gently placing his hand on her shoulder, he prays for a moment and a golden energy seems to knit at least a few of her wounds together.
Fervor: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
Hopefully that will tide you over until you can be healed properly. That was a hard fought victory.

As soon as all of the demons are down, he turns to make sure that all of them are alive. "I think it might be best if we found a place to rest."

Cancelling the Summon as the last monster fell, Blink sighed as Galin healed her. "Thank you. Yeah, that was not the best fight we've had." Rolling her shoulders, she wondered if they would be able to rest soon.

"That.. that was ... The elf splutters, clearly shaken by everything. "Should we find a place to rest before continuing ?"

"You guys don't look good. Anyone have a rope trick? Otherwise, we need to find a hidey hole."

"If we don't want to leave, our best bet is likely the temple. If we clear it and reconsecrate it then it might protect us, or at least give us an edge. If Nothing else it shouldn't be too hard to barricade." Blink shrugged.

"If we don't want to leave, our best bet is likely the temple. If we clear it and reconsecrate it then it might protect us, or at least give us an edge. If Nothing else it shouldn't be too hard to barricade." Blink shrugged.

So: back to camp? Fort up here? Fort up at the temple?

My vote is to fort up at the temple.

Same. I'd like to get a chance to clean it up anyway.

"Yes, the temple is probably the best place to camp. The illusions will cover up the sign of our presence."

"I agree the temple would be the wisest abnd safest option"

"I agree the temple would be the wisest abnd safest option"

The crusaders return to the defiled temple, finding it safely empty.

Do you want to take some kind of precautions before you rest?

Definitely should have watch rotations, Galin can take the first of those. Other than that and selecting what the party deems as the most well-enclosed room in the temple, I can't think of anything else.
