Sic Semper Tyrannis! (Thrune's Hell's Rebels Revived)

Game Master GM Aarvid

Sidius casts a Black Tentacles spell at the back of the newly-opened room, causing a number of tentacles to reach up and grab at the Erinyes and the guards in front of her, while Aeria tries to blast her.

Air Blast: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 13 Or not.

I put the radius on, and Black Tentacles doesn't allow spell resistance, so it should be trying to grapple everyone, including her.

Grapple (Elulae): 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 31
Grapple (Purple): 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 33
Grapple (Pink): 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 25
Grapple (Blue): 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 16

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Arcos wices as unholy power scourges him. He hovers upwards, flying around the other side of the erinyes in hopes of getting a flank with Kenji.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Hopefully I can flank with Kenji. My attack should be 2 higher and I’ll do 9 more sneak attack damage if I can.

Dont' forget that Arcos is buffed with extended Good Hope, so he has a +2 rorale bonus to saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.

Sidius and Aeria escape most of the blast but the elemental and Arcos are not as lucky. The unholy blast takes out Sparky and sickens Arcos

@Sidius - keep In mind that one roll is allowed for ALL targets.…

Sidius calls forth a mass of tentacles, which easily grab the three guards.

Make a single grapple attempt and compare it to each target’s CMD. Using the first roll…

The erinyes smiles at Sidius as she deftly dodges the tentacles grasping at her. (Missed CMD)

”Nice trick, but you will have to do better.“

Aerias air blast goes wide…

you can roll damage for the guards.
@Arcos - I am pretty sure you do not want to fly into the tentacles?
I will update tonight.

Arcos tries to fly up and over Talvek to touch the she-devil. However, she is much too quick for his aim.

Grapple damage on blue squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Blue tries to break free of the grapple (vs CMD23)
CMB: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Grapple damage on pink squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Pink tries to break free of the grapple (vs CMD23)
CMB: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Grapple damage on Maroon squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Maroon tries to break free of the grapple (vs CMD23)
CMB: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

None of the three can escape the black squid tentacles of doom.

Eululae retreats into the swirling tentacles with a mirthful grin.

Kenji and Talvek can take AOO if they can reach her 10' up...AC31

You goodie-two-shoes seem to like big spells. Let us try once more for good measure.
Then, from whomever survives, I will take sweet volunteers to come in to play with me.

Unholy Blight unholy: 5d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 8, 7, 2) = 21 DC19 WILL for half if good etc.

Should hit everyone again...

Sidius hears something heavy landing on the roof outside and above him...

The two guards at the eastern double-doors...still look baffled.

2d100 ⇒ (4, 49) = 53

Gray rushes forward and hacks at the web with his halberd.

Quick, this way!

Black babbles What? Which way web way what way web went where?

Purple takes a shot at Sidius from behind.

crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for crossbow: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Saves from spell for 21,10 or 5 damage,
and then everyone goes...

Lubella winced at the unholy blast, and pressed forwards to subdue the guards near Kenjii.

AC 23 with fightling defensively.

My applogies if I messed up the position of the purple border: I'm having trouble selecting and deselecting things; it's essentially impossible just to select my own token.

Kenji is sickened and attacks the flying devil with an attack of opportunity but misses.

AoO MW Cold Iron Greatsword, trait +1, divine favor +2, haste +1, power attack-2/+6, size -1, Str +1, sickened -2: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 223d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 21

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Talvek takes a futile swipe at the erinyes as she retreats, then turns his attention to the nearby guards, attempting to take them out quickly so that the tentacles can be dispelled.

Attack purple, NL: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 4 = 25 Damage, non-lethal: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Attack purple, NL: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 4 = 25 Damage, non-lethal: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

If she remained in the tentacles, they'll try to grab her again, I believe-- not sure if being 10' up is enough -- there's a +5 on the roll against the guys who were still trapped.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Ok, 5 damage

Sidius moves forward to keep near his companions, while beginning to cast a summoning spell.

Aeria tries to blast the armoured knight.

Air Blast: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17 Not so successful.

@Sidius - roll one new grapple check for all 4 in the area…the +5 applies to the guards.
Armored knight is upstairs and out of sight. Oh, and save for Aeria?

Sorry- didn't zoom the map -- would have been at the guy who came through the door.

Will (Aeria): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Good thing she's neutral?

Tentacles: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 33

will, good hope +2, sickened -2: 1d20 + 2 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 15 - 2 = 25

Kenji steps back and recasts divine favor on himself.

He then focuses on the devil and smites her!

Swift action smite evil, +4 deflection bonus on AC so AC19 vs the devil. +4 to hit and +5 to damage.

Oh! Forgot to include Good Hope on Aeria's save. Yay!

All good. Aeria would have exactly saved regardless.

Lubella again dodges most of the unholy blast. She twirls and spins and knocks down pink guard where he is held. Moving to slap blue as well.

Kenji likewise resists the blight, casts a spell and calls down holy power of his own on the female devil.

Sidius and Aeria resist the second blast. The airblast on the closest of the confused east guards misses.

The tentacles continue to squeeze the three stuck guards..even the unconscious ones. Blue goes down as well.
pink squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
blue squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
maroon squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

One very lucky tentacle grabs the foot of the Erinyes, and her smirk turns from surprised annoyance to genuine concern as it wraps around her.
still does not hit CMD, but nat 20 is good.

no...No...NOOO!

squeeze: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Arcos...then they go.

Will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20

Arcos just manages to resist the unholy energy before firing a few blasts of electricity at the erinyes.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 - 2 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 - 2 = 7

The first bolt hits the grappled foe.

Back home....

Maroonbreak: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 vs DC23
Eululae break: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 = 25 vs DC23

Ironically, both the remaining grapplees break their bonds momentarily.

Maroon fears being crushed to death as his allies and tries to escape, heedless of the attacks which may follow...

He provokes from everyone...

Maroon on Lubella (if he makes it that far) halberd: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 for slash: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The erinyes continues flying in the tangle of tentacles, trying to decide what to do (pending action on AOOs)

Grey and black continue from the east

2d100 ⇒ (46, 8) = 54

This time gray stopps to babble
Too many tentacles...where is commander...too many...webs. More web tentacles.

Black rushes in to strike at Kenji with his halberd (using wall to cover his approach)

Black on Kenji halberd: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 for slash: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The smell of burning webs can be detected from above on the stairway as creaking of the ceiling tells of the large winged wyvern moving about.

Aoos...on maroon if desired.

AoO: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 17 - 4 = 14 Damage, NL: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Talvek attempts to knock out the fleeing guard, but his attention is on Eululae.

Non-lethal damage, Battle Dance, Good Hope, Blade of Mercy, Arcane Strike: 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 16

I have to wait to see if maroon is still concious, before takeing my turn.

Both Talvek and Lubella take half-hearted swings at the poor guard trying to escape the tentacles, but their primary focus is on the flying she-devil.

If they're burning the web above, my last area spell is stinking cloud, which I can cast up there, but it would roll down the stairs into the room where we are - which is bad. Though the cloud isn't so big that it would reach us right away. Debating that.

I don't get an AoO because I'm casting, I think? And Aeria doens't threaten.

Lubella attacked the guards running around beside her.

Mithral Scimitar (maroon), Battle Dance, Good Hope, Haste, fighting defensively: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 33

Swift Action: Arcane Strike, Standard Action: Full Atack, 5 ft step as necessary.

Had to break the attacks into 2 parts to untangle the mess. I think maroon pops an image.

Mithral Scimitar (maroon), Battle Dance, Good Hope, iterative, Haste, fighting defensively: 1d20 + 12 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 32

Non-Lethal Damage, Battle Dance, Good Hope, Arcane Strike, Blade of Mercy: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 14

@Sidius - doh! correct, if casting you do not threaten- but I guess could provoke . But maroon was too worried about the tentacles to try. Will see if Kenji drops him, otherwise he pops an image.

I didn't think I had to worry about provoking since he was grappled at the time. ;)

Sidius completes his spell, and 1d3 ⇒ 3 lightning elementals appear, and he quickly orders them to attack anything that comes through the doors or down the stairs. He then turns his attention to the flying devil woman, gathering his will before hurling it at her in an evil eye, trying to weaken her defences -- and then cackling to maintain it.

Evil Eye -> -4 penalty on Saves for 9 rounds (counting cackle), Will DC 19 reduces to 2 rounds (counting cackle)

Supernatural abilities, like hexes, do not trigger spell resistance, I'm told.

Kenji is sickened and makes an attack of opportunity but misses.

AoO MW Cold Iron Greatsword, trait +1, divine favor +2, haste +1, power attack-2/+6, size -1, Str +1, sickened -2: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 133d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 21

Kenji then takes care of the newcomers.

He first attacks the guard in black.

Primary MW Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 303d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6, 2, 1) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 23
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 213d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 23

Assuming that drops black.

He 5 ft steps into the space of the black guard and attacks the one in grey armor with his reach.

Haste MW Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 303d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 26
crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 223d6 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 1 - 2 = 24

Kenji also misses the elusive maroon marauder, who makes it to Lubella and destroys one of her images.

Lubella then takes him down in a couple swings of her own.

Sidius finishes summoning some elementals and then hex/cackles at the devil. She snarls at him.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 13 saves

I do not like you at all.

Kenji hacks into both confused guards and nearly decapatates them both in a blink of an eye.

Sidius can take tentacle grapple attack, and Arcos, Talvek have actions...

Grapple: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 26 for 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The tentacles fail to grab the elusive fallen angel.

Talvek and Arcos look into the mass of tentacles with concern: Not wanting to go after her, but not wanting to leave her alone.

Arcos fires another of his mystic bolts and then flies back as the bolt sizzles her.

range attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 29 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Talvek considers his bow, but suspects it is insignificant compared to his trusty rapier. He casts a cure while he waits for her.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

The devil continues her sneering and taunts the group, especially singling out Sidius for his hex and spell.

You made this mess. Are you sure you will not come in and play?

She flitters over and calls down another unholy blight on the entirety of the room.

unholy: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 4, 7, 4) = 28 DC19 WILL for half (or quarter) damage and no sickness.

I bet some of you are going to need to run home to your mommies.

She calls out, above in a commanding infernal voice laced with annoyance LUCIAN! Your guards are dead. Where ARE YOU!?!?!?

You hear the male knight reply from up the stairs.

Eululae! Just like your kind. I offer you gifts and you are still complaining. Why am I surrounded by such incompetence????

Smoke and the odor of burnt webs can be smelled from above.

Purple reloads in the southern room

Saves from everyone, including familiar and elementals. Also actions and grapple checks on her.

GM, I think Kenji is not sickened anymore as he was only sick for 2 rounds. I hope that is correct.
will save, good hope +2: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 = 31

Kenji can resist the worst effect.

He swiftly heals himself.

lay on hands 4/7, fey foundling +4, planar infusion +8: 2d6 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 + 8 = 18

Then Kenji stomps forward and as he has smited the devil, he attacks her with his reach due to his large size!

Due to smite +4 to hit and +5 to damage (+10 first attack for a devil). And AC +4 deflection bonus so AC 20 vs. the devil.

@Kenji, that sounds correct (corrected below for Kenji and Arcos). So he easily saves. The grappling tentacles, is another matter. Does 26 CMB hit your modified CMD?
Or did I miss freedom of movement someplace?

Kenji strides forward to smite the devil...

I don't think anyone has Freedom of Movment available. It's a 4th lvl spell for Lubella, so she doesn't have access until 10th lvl.

Will (Lightning 1): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16
Will (Lightning 2): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
Will (Lightning 3): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

So much for the rear guard - she just had to roll high for damage this time..

Seeing the guards are down at the devil's ability to avoid the tentacles, Sidius takes a moment of concentration to dismiss the spell, then cackles to keep the evil eye on her.

Will (Good Hope): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27

”Make the tentacles go away!!!“

@Sidius - can you roll save for familiar?
@Kenji - once you are grabbed - is that dagger drawn with your off hand? Are you dropping the sword? If Sidius dispels the grapple you will not need to break free next round.

Will, Good Hope: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13 fail for 28 damage :(

Lubella reeeled from the unholy blast and realized that she needed to heal herself eight away. She started a meditative whirl and cast a couple of healing spells on herself.

Move Action: Meditative Whirl, Standard Action: Cure Light Wounds (Lubella), Swift Action: Cure Light Wounds: Lubella, 5 ft step, free action: maintain Battle Dance.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Sorry, I thought I did.

Will Aeria: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23 So that's 1/4 damage again. That said, she's only got half Sidius' hp and didn't start with a False Life, so she's running low.

Hi GM, I hope it’s ok to assume that I did not move into the tentacles. I didn’t see that the square I’m in is a tentacle square. I’ll just stop before the tentacles and then throw the dahher.

@Kenji - that is fine as we had not yet rolled grab damage. I was not sure if you thought the tentacles were down. So he draws dagger as part of move and hurls it?

Talvek will will, hope: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12 fail/sick
Arcos will will,hope: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 25 saves

Kenji's dagger smites the winged woman, as the tentacles dissolve.

Talvek rushes into the space previously crawling with tentacles

rapier atk, buffs, sick: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 17 - 2 = 18 for dmg: 1d6 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 = 11 miss

Arcos hurls another mystic bolt

touch atk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 miss

The devil sighs in frustration

”Fine! Lucian if you will not come in and deal with them, I am coming out there.“

She flitters back and with an arcane chant, disappears.

You hear her voice from out in the courtyard

”you can go in and clean up the mess they made of your men. “

Then the commander can be heard shouting

”Even you are giving up? I will deal with you after I finish with them. Just get word to my cousin Barzillai in Kintargo. He will want to know of the Reclamation rebels here.“

You hear heavy boots stride back and then the creak as a heavy creature takes flight from the roof.

The purple guard readies his crossbow but holds his shot seeing himself abandoned by leaders.

Sidius quickly casts a spell to heal himself.

CLW (from Snowball): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Lubella took advantage od the break in the action to pull out and drink a healing poition.

Move Action, draw potion of CMW, Standard Action: drink potion; free action: maintain Battle Dance

Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 4) + 3 = 15

Talvek downs a potion as well, preparing to face Barzillai's cousin, Lucian. Probably best to try and capture him alive, all things considered.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 7) + 3 = 11

"How did she disappear like that? Teleportation? Doesn't matter, we can't let her get away and reach Kintargo."

Talvek strides towards the exit, stopping in front of the lone crossbow-wielding guard.

"Look, friend, I am not going to ask again. Surrender, and we will spare your life. Your leaders don't care about you, and they don't care if you live or die."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

Lubella and Sidius take time to heal while Talvek adds a bit of guard convincing to his efforts.

The guard seems to agree and lowers his crossbow.

”Maybe. “

"Short distance like that, probably a dimension door," Sidius suggests.
