*Menacing wiggling*
I think we just need to break the suggestion, not give him PTSD.
"Sileth, if you don't stop this I'm going to have to introduce you to Ulthar's little friend."
[dice=intimidate]1d20+32
NOOOOO. not the Wiggly
Make him kiss Sir Wiggly!
Well we don't have magic so this is how we do things.
"Sorry Sileth, it's for your own good."
Sileth is reduced to a twitching mess of elfdom. He has a yearning for some PBR and a pile of twinkies, but he no longer decides that a beach trip is a good idea.
Screw this you A~#!%@*S I'M going home He says feeling completely violated. But then thinks about all the free beer and massages he'll get on the beach in Tahiti AFTER saving the world FINE! Let's save the world first
He looks very disappointed at Gramps I expected better from YOU. The other two numb-skulls well...they of course live down to my expectations constantly
That hurt me more than it hurt you.
Ultimately the main consequence will be that Sileth will now always associate beaches with Mr. Wiggly.
But on a more pleasant subject, you have large doors to the north. This time there might even be a BBEG inside.
So this is the time to call upon our powers and pump us up?
"I guess."
Marckus pulls out his various wands and potions. "I hope this guy doesn't spend a lot of time expositing. These things are short."
Time to start writing their 3 hour speech justifying their actions, motivations, likes, loves, preference in interior decorating, and doilies.
I could summon a Lantern Archon and have it teleport behind the door to make sure the nasties are there. Then teleport back to confirm. Or if it dies that would be a good indication.
"I think we normally just use Sileth for that. But ok."
Noonan cats Summon Monster 3 to call up several Lantern Archons.
Please teleport behind the door and scout out the area and teleport back to report if you see anyone.
You hear a big boom on the other side of the door once they vanish, and none come back.
Well that settles that.
"Ulthar, you go first."
NOT IT Sileth says with a smile knowing that he once again beat the sluggish Ulthar in the Not It game, the loser of which has to lead the way in certain death situations
Noonan suddenly staggers. MY LUMBAGO! I can't go first.
"I have to cover the flank, so I'm not it."
Noonan casts Greater Angelic Aspect and his hair fringe turns gold and Spikey
This spell functions like lesser angelic aspect, except you gain low-light vision; darkvision 60 feet; DR 10/evil; immunity to acid, cold, and petrification; resistance to electricity and fire 10; a +4 racial bonus on saves against poison; and protective aura and truespeech as supernatural abilities for the duration of the spell. Also, your wings give you a fly speed of 60 feet with good maneuverability.
Protective aura provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures to anyone within 20 feet. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet.
Truespeech allows you to speak with any creature that has a language, as though using the tongues spell.
Then Magic Circle Against Evil on Ulthar so Blender-Man doesn't get Mind controlled.
Resist Energy (Fire) on Sileth and himself (30 points resistance. Lasts long enough)
Shield of Faith on himself
I can start summoning once we bust in.
Waiting on you big guy Sileth says to Ulthar with a wary on on Mr Wiggly
"Not it!"
Ulthar looks around for a moment.
"oh"
Ulthar casts Stoneskin, on himself and Haste on everyone. Then he goes first
Will have the post up a bit later today.
Ulthar reluctantly opens the door, feeling used.
Inside is revealed:
This wide, spacious hall is lit by constantly writhing runes dancing
along the walls of the room, bathing the contents with shifting
purple lights. A much larger rune, circular and fifteen feet across,
floats a foot above the floor in an alcove to the west at the far end
of a wide upraised pulpit. A circular flight of steps leads down
from the front of the pulpit to a lower area. Pillars carved to
resemble coiling snakes support the cathedral celing a hundred
feet above, and in alcoves along the walls stand immense stone
statues of a snake-legged, bird-faced demon.
There is an armored Drow up by the altar (#6)
There are 5 things which look like large humanoid toads (Think you have seen Hezrou before)- 5,11,12,15,18
and then there's six shadowy figures in the room as well, which you recognize as shadow demons. 2,3,4,7,16,20
boss
Hezrou
Shadow Demons
Be a good idea to roll init.
Good to see I'm not the only one to flub init.
Order:
Shadowy thingies.
Party
Rest of baddies.
well at least that's simple
Shadowy things fly foward and engage
#7 attacks Ulthar

2,20 attack Marckus (since he's all big and scary)

Party is up.
Resist Energy (Fire) on Sileth and himself (30 points resistance. Lasts long enough)
Shield of Faith on himself +4 Deflection AC 15 minutes

Truespeech allows you to speak with any creature that has a language, as though using the tongues spell.
Noonan starts Moooing and wiggling his fingers.
@DrB..... What will the Stampedes interaction with Black Tentacles be? I'm assuming based on "If the stampede’s path would put it in an obviously dangerous area (such as over a cliff or through a fire) or force it to move through a solid barrier, the herd stops at the obstacle and moves in a new randomly determined direction until it reaches another obstacle or the spell’s duration ends." that if the Stampedes movement brings it into the BT area that a new direction will be choosen for the Stampede rather than barreling through the BT area and facing grapple checks
I don't think the cattle would deem the tentacles any more of a threat than the demons in the room and would try to run right over them. Fire or a cliff are not something they can bull through. They would plow right into black tentacles.
what would their cmds be? trying to judge whether the cattle would stand a chance vs the BTs.
We're gonna go with bison, that's seems appropriately silly.
Marckus moves back and drinks his potion, suddenly becoming difficult to look at. Like Ulthar but for different reasons.
WHile mulling over the Black Tentacle and Stampede spell interaction Sileth opens with his normal 1rst round routine
and
Swift action enchanting his weapon: 1 arcana pts +1, Flaming Burst, Frost
Haste+1, Deadly Aim -3 +6
+24 SEEKING (+11 BAB +8 DEX, +1 Weapon Focus, +3GMW, +1PBS, -2spell combat, arcane pool+1 1d6cold and 1d6 s 1d6 flame burst to arrows) weapon spec+2dam, Martial Focus+1dam,Str+1
Bow is +1Keen Seeking Cunning,Ghost Touch
Aimin first at #20…Focusing on the Shadow Demons (this will be the first time his Ghost Touch weapon comes into play)
apply cover penalty if necessary
Buffalo mayhem starts next round (summons).
Sileth.
Miss, miss, hit, miss, confirm. Still up.
First, Ulthars AoO on #7 for passing by his reach weapon.
Then he attacks #2. First raging and adding Longarm to his list of buffs before laying into the shadow thingaman.
Sileth casts Grtr Invis on himself.
" An invisible creature gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls against sighted opponents, and ignores its opponents’ Dexterity bonuses to AC (if any)."
This may turn some of his misses into hits, so rolling sneak damage for all attacks
Can't crit incorporeal (unless you have ghost touch).
Will update this evening.
[ooc]Time to spam Giant Celestial Flying Corgis!
Though as to Sileth, kinda cocky rolling sneak damage on a natural '1'.
However you do kill it.
Now that I look at the map I wonder why I didn't move 3, 4, 16, so I'll move them now.
3 flies over to Noonan and attacks
hit
One in the back (6) casts and spell, and Sileth is no longer invisible.
2 of the big toady things vanish and appear in the room behind you.
Two move move up to engage (11 doesn't get far enough). One is already there and attacks.
#18
bite, claw, claw, cover
hit nope
miss
lame
#12
hit nope
hit yes, grappled (assuming your sheet is correct)
hit nope
Then I guess it is back to 2 of the shadowy thingies.
2,7 attack Ulthar being a good little meatshield.
