Alas, because of a lazy, er busy Marckus kills the last big demony thing.
Noonan starts healing people with his wand
Marckus takes his time healing himself, if time there is to spare.
No particular rush. One more encounter and you're free of me.
No more Trailer trash elves, no more beer slides. You will find the big baddy you've been chasing and probably save the world unless you screw the pooch.
*Checks past posts*
I missed the beer slide. LOVE IS OVER!
Map is updated to the final
The final encounter is not immediate, as you need to explore a bit (so ignore the buffing).
Sileth is temporarily blind and does not see any doors
Guys? Anyone see a door
On the map looks like there are doors in front of us. One of yous may want to check it out cause Sileth is temporarily blind. Maybe he's recently picked up Ulthars nightly before sleep habit
Sileth has been sleeping with Ulthar. Gotcha.
Welp.
There was a door here, it isn't anymore.
Let's see if the party of rogues can all flub the roll.
Now the pressure's on. Can Ulthar screw the pooch on his roll too and keep up the trend?
"Did you guys add your class features when you checked this door?"
Ulthar gives this door the big stink eye after its traps elude his friends
"We are looking for traps, right?"
Ulthar comes through in the clutch and is quite sure that perhaps there's no trap. Perhaps there is. Perhaps there's a door for that matter.
"I sure didn't."
If there is a trap in a door but no one sees it, is it armed or unarmed?
So there's this large object in front of you cleverly disguised as a door. What do you do?
Back up and let Ulthar try to open it quietly?
I like that idea. But before Sileth allows Ulthar to go to his doom he detects for magic on the door to see if any magical whammies await Ulthar
No magic.
Ulthar opens the door from fifteen feet away.
The door cooperates and opens without any booms, poison darts, or other nasty business.
This long, straight hallway is empty except for the friezes of a strange part-snake, part-bird demon carved into the stone walls on either side. Tangled coils of softly glowing runes wind along the walls in dense patterns between these carvings, filling the hall with shadowy light. Two matched sets of doors stand closed on either side of the corridor, with a set of double doors at each end of the hallway.
Let us try left door.
Sileth uses Improved Spell Recall(1pt arcana) to gain another use of his Ablative Barrier spell and promptly casts it on himself. After that he goes to the door hoping it's not the type of door that makes you doubt its existence like the previous door and inspects it for traps
As you step towards what you clearly can (for a change) see is a door, it, and all the rest of the ones in the hall burst open and drow dressed in the raiments of the clergy of Abraxas step out and say, in undercommon, "Nobody expects the Abraxxian Inquisition!"
Noonan hits them with a divine powered comfy chair elemental.
Ah, fighting fire with fire, devious.
Marckus simply cannot be bothered.
Sileth casts greater Invis and shoots aiming at #2 and then #4 if #2 drops
DEADLY AIM

2 hits and #2 drops.
Though Ulthar might consider acting since he's actually up first, though it will be via time warp from next week or something.
Noonan decides he needs to show those whippersnappers a thing or two and bashes!
Noonan fiercely steps up and gives one of the enemy a hangnail.
Ulthar pops out of stealth and gets his customary bloodrage on (casting shield in the process) and swings at #3
In a funky time travel maneuver Ulthar swings back in time and splats a poor defenseless Drow clergyman.
#1 channels to harm surge+50% = 9 DC22 will save for 1/2 (excludes his allies)
#4 steps forward and stabs at Noonan
DC 22 will save for 1/2 on the smite : miss
5-8 move up
#5 casts a spell and Sileth is once again visible.
6,7,8 all cast a spell
DC 19 will for 1/2 for good, 1/2 again for neutral
DC 19 will for 1/2 for good, 1/2 again for neutral

If good and fail the will save you are sickened.
Marckus is up.
So 5+10+10+10=35 damage
19 dmg to me by my count
Attacking #1. Because I'M the only #1 around here.

Doing the ol' non-lethal to scare 'em thing.
First attack hits gets demoralize, next attack to hit makes them FF vs me for the rest of the attacks (for both sneak & AC purposes).
whatever
Another (un)holyman goes down in the face of an assault by scoundrels upon their temple.
Sileth, Noonan, and (eventually) Ulthar are up.
34 dam
Sileth takes aim at the backrow (6 then 8)
