Second Darkness beer and pretzles (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

After sleeping off the nights revelry, we all feel a bit better and the world sounds a bit noisier as we fully appreciate being able to hear once again.

Any prep before you go through the portal to the happy demon forest?

Does everybody have a way to kill demons?

Do we need a knowledge check to determine if we even know how to kill demons?

I assumed the knowledge check would come once we go through the portal and see what kind of "happy" demons we're dealing with. They could just be happy farting unicorns for all we know.

Does everybody have a way to kill demons?

Do we need a knowledge check to determine if we even know how to kill demons?

I guess you keep punching them and I'll hit'em with a couple a arrows till they stop being mean

No special preparation for Sileth before entering the demony forest of death

We got shooty, fisty, and don't forget choppy! Ready, Ulthar doesn't believe in these so-called "Long-term buffs."

Eventually you all decide to stop dithering and head through the elfgate.

The final stage in the race through the aiudara network is Tanglegate, a stone arch sitting on a small sliver of ground amid a stinking, seething bog of tainted water.

You look around at the Tanglebriar, which is a forrest with a definitely dark aura to it. There's lots of unpleasant aspects, like extra thorns and briars, and more fungus than you would expect.

As you stand around looking at the rather dismal scene, three elephant sized spider thingies come charging out of the bog towards you. (knowledge planes to identify)

roll init, and if the cleric can extricate his image from the pink frame he can place himself on the map near the gate.

I've placed myself on the map.

1 question.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Energy resistances?

No energy resistances.

All the licks.

You know I can make unarmed strikes with any part of my body, right?

I refuse to encourage you.

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Ulthar is up.

Ulthar go up. Targeting #1. Gonna use Longarm in conjunction with his bloodrage. That should mean his reach with his Bardiche is 25-30 ft. depending on your reading.

Swing for the bleachers: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Flat-footed I hope: 1d10 + 27 + 6d6 ⇒ (2) + 27 + (4, 4, 6, 4, 4, 3) = 54

Yes, flat footed. Solid hit, but still up.

Critter 1 closes to 15' of you (you get an AOO).

Rest of the party is up for round 1, then Ulthar for round 2.

Kronug will preen and make boastful statements.

Show the ladies.

Um, well, I got nothing.

Lick, lick, miss, miss

and of course the tongue action has him (and the GM) demoralized.

I move up a little bit and channel to heal some folks I know were damaged but forgot to update their HP.

Channel Positive Energy: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 3, 3, 6) = 23True Healer reroll 1s: 23 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ 23 - 1 + (2) = 24 Excluding up to 5 bad guys within range

Was the save for a disease or poison effect as I can use my Mercy on the Channel to attempt to cure that for two people.

If Disease or Poison:
Remove Disease or Neutralize Poison: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 vs DC23 Ulthar
Remove Disease or Neutralize Poison: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 vs DC23 Sileth

The rot isn't described, but logically has to be poison or disease.

Sileth (who I forgot I'm botting) will step away from th big bug and caste haste on the party.

Bug attacks Ulthar.

PCs are up.

Ulthar decides to swing at a different leg with each attack. His rage blinds him to Marckus' bizarre Tongue Kata.

Ulthar puts his bug down.

Marckus moves in close, because that's the only thing that can make this better.
He gets a'lickin'

well that seems fair

2 con damage

Taedos?

It doesn't appear that anyone is injured so I will delay until needed.

Y'all are updating your avatars with damage right?

Sileth doesn't do anything because I'm lazy.

OK, last bug, disturbed by the tongue lashing, attacks Marckus.

PCs are up.

back from vacation. Thanks for the bottage.

Sileth has heard of the mythical Tongue Kata technique Marckus just demonstrated but he is confused.... I thought the tongue kata technique was only used against Succubi

Despite his confusion or maybe because of it he aims at the remaining bebilith hoping to end it and more importantly end the tongue kata display

@Taedos... I think my HP are topped off thanks to your last channel... Thanks

Sadly it still remains to be licked.

Marckus? Ulthar?

Sorry, I've been working too much.

Marckus, thankfully, still has enough time to whip it. With his tongue.

Unless someone has a way to keep me from rotting to death.

2 consecutive saves, yes.

So I think I only failed one more before those double 24s, so another -2 con damage? I guess I don't really know how this works.
If I take -2 con every roll until 2 consecutive saves, I will surely die.
Unless this is a disease, then I have time.
Or unless someone casts a spell of some kind.

Yes, only -2 more.

Though I'm pretty sure the healer can patch you up before it gets that far to be honest.
