The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Krays boggles at the oddity, the nsees Lysander and Ephebe's attacks turned aside...
Casts destruction
DC: 26 fort SR: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Takes 160 damage+4 bleed per round until healed or a dc15 heal check is done.
If it saves, it takes 10d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 6, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1) = 35 and the bleed effect.

Bleeding Wounds (Su)::
Whenever a creature takes damage from one of your spells or effects that causes negative energy damage (such as inflict light wounds or the death's touch revelation), it begins to bleed, taking 1 point of damage each round. At 5th level, and every five levels thereafter, this damage increases by 1. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or any effect that heals damage.

** spoiler omitted **

The magic seems to slide off the creature much as the physical attacks had.

In other words, that didn't beat SR. Also, I'm lowering the SR by 5. I misread it when I initially read the stat block and I'm realizing that as it currently is it's not possible to overcome, so the number to beat for SR is 34 not 39. Difficult, but at least technically possible.

Vai relaxes. That's it? Free? She almost collapses into a fit of tears right there, but maintains her composure. "I... don't know what to say. I'd given up hope of ever being free. I just knew I had to live. I just..." Vai bursts into tears. Freedom. After several moments, she's able to wipe away her tears and take a few deeps breaths. It couldn't be that simple. She takes a drink of the water the nurse left before speaking again, her voice still choked from her outburst.

"Where am I, Mister Tamrin? I don't recognize any of these devices, but they look like the ones Lord Aegy... the dragon had in his lair."

He chuckles.

"Well, if you're going to get all formal, then Professor Sunwake will do. And you're in the Infirmary of the Avalon Academy, which is a school founded to help children who have powers and abilities that fall outside the bounds of 'ordinary'. And I promise you that the devices here are solely for helping people get better - but I understand if you don't quite believe me on that mark just yet."

"I'm not sure we can undo what was done to you without causing irreparable harm - but we can help you come to grips with what you can do now, and become the owner of your own life again. If that sounds like something you'd like to try, that is..."

okie dokie...


The creature drives its viscious spiked head at Lysander.

1d20 + 51 ⇒ (15) + 51 = 66

The spike drove deeply into his shoulder causing his mind to be filled with horrible, impossible scenes that wouldn't stop running through his head.

Damage:10d6 + 21 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 5, 4, 2, 6) + 21 = 61
Wisdom Drain: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Asch stands still when he hears the sound of rocks crashing. Knowing something is up on the other side of the door that Aananda just passed through he takes a breath willing the darkness around him to solidify into a blade along his right hand he looks over to Amada.There is something happening on the other side...I promise I will be ok...' and he steps into the shadows to appear on the other side of the stone wall. To witness a tiefling attacking a student..but oddly enough Aananda and Ryo seem to be looking at the student like he is the threat. "Errr am I missing something. I swear you told me everything was alright...you wouldn't have lied to me would you Aananda? That's bad you could corrupt my young impressionable mind."

"Asch, be careful. David has been possessed by a demon. And lying was necessary...wouldn't have wanted to tip my hand while we were still inside where he could have taken hostages," she said, watching David like a hawk.

"If you know how to fix this," she snapped at Filne, "I suggest you do so quickly. Before we have to kill him."

Ok...so Krays needs a 16 or higher to beat his SR, couldn't hit it normally on a 20...so what you're telling me this isn't a caster fight :)

Looks worried when some of his his strongest death magics have no effect on this creature...

A 20 always hits even if it shouldn't. Don't know if that's the official rule, but that's my rule. :)

Vai shudders, remembering the experiments. Outside of 'ordinary' Professor Sunwake had said. Well, she was definitely that. She's only half-talking to Tamrin when she says: "The dragon.. he said he infused me with his own essence... he said I would have his magic, his wings and claws.. even be able to take his form... I was always taught that dragons are evil monsters... and now I am part-dragon..." Vai pauses, lets that sink in. She was a monster now.

"oh...well in that case." Asch says as little black flames flicker across his blades the temperature dropping around him to the point that ice begins to form on the ground.


Male Baelnorn (Elven Lich) Diviner/Summoner -


Filne looks at the woman in a strange way.

"Geez calm down we are the adults here, no need to rush in without thinking and what not. I swear people are always in a rush about something like the universe would end."

He keeps mumbling as he cast a spell. Once complete David suddenly slumbs over holding his head. Just as quickly the elf goes flying into a wall with the force of a titan's maul. Some how he gets up and looks at David with a sour look.

"What in heavens name are you. Thats no normal fiend, my spell should have transfered his mind into my body rundering him paralyzed while I was in his body. He somehow repelled me, that does not happen even with greater fiends. Whatever it is, it borders on demon lord status."

Man what a day to run this. I have to leave for a few hours. Be back around 5 hours from now. Just when its getting good. >.<

Tamrin closes the door so their conversation will not be overheard, unobtrusively weaving a bit of magic to ensure that.

"I know you have, sweetheart. But Aegathrax was a monster for a completely different reason than being a dragon. His species had nothing to do with the kind of evil he practiced."

"Whether or not you will be able to do those things, you need to remember one thing....your actions will determine whether or not you become like the monster who did this to you. If you choose to be your own person and live your life as you want to, then you'll never be like him. And that means you've beaten him."

He sighs.

"The one bit of oddball thinking this world has is that all dragons were considered evil - even the ones that try to help other races (and yes, there are some out there)...and that they're supposedly extinct here. I have people very close to me who can help you with these new abilities, but for now we'll need to keep that between us. For your own safety as well as theirs. Would you be able to do that for me?"

"Oh, great, another one of those," she said, drawing stone up around David's feet, pinning him in place.

"Well, at least I don't have an empathic link with this one. Sorry, David, we'll work hard on soul retrieval later."

Well I suppose that gives me more time to figure out exactly how my Champion Abilities will work before the battle really starts then.

A fairly heavy crate has just been shipped, addressed to the Avalon Academy, specifically to one Aananda. It is scheduled to arrive in a few hours. Will the crate reach Aananda? What are the contents of said crate? Why are you reading this in the voice of a television announcer? Find out next time, on Tales of Agartha: The Avalon Chronicles.

Attacks the announcer with 1d3 ⇒ 2 shadow dire wolves. "Don't take the spotlight off the David incident. That's where I am!"


Tsk, tsk, Asch. You should know by now that nothing can penetrate the fourth wall until you sunder it. As this is an invisible wall, I'd imagine the nearest equivalent would be a Wall of Force.

You fool. You really expect to kill me here, in my own realm? You must be mistaken. You see, here, I am the Game Master, and we play by my rules. [Maniacal laughter ensues as the announcer rises 10-15 feet in the air.]


Oh, I almost forgot. Lysander make a will save (with your bonuses before the wisdom drain takes effect). It's not for what you think it is. :)


Fri runs through the school... "Gotta-go-gotta-go-gotta--AAAUGH!" ...and stumbles over something. The little mite flies into the opposite wall with a yelp.
A small bump rising from his forehead, he turns to see what he tripped on.
Vakkler Relkav. The kobold is crouched over a hissing quasit, his scaly fingers wrapped around a slippery throat.
Vakkler looks up irritably. "No running in the--"
Vakkler stops. He blinks. "Fri?"
The mite turns and bolts.
"Fri!" Vakkler finishes off the quasit with a cold iron bolt and pursues the mite. "What are you doing here?"
But Fri ignores him. He bolts outside. He leaps out of school grounds.
And he's vanished.
Vakkler stares at the spot where his target had just been standing. He struggles to grasp what's just happened. That done, he sighs. "Idiot..."
The kobold historian heads back inside, shaking his head.

David looks up his eyes burning with hellfire.

"Psst fine little worms, you want to see what I am then I'll show you!"

His form twist and bubbles then blast open as if tearing reality itself with hellfire.

Hellfire Burst:

Reflex DC 34 for half dmg
Fire Dmg
12d10 ⇒ (6, 4, 10, 9, 1, 7, 4, 4, 1, 4, 10, 2) = 62
Untyped Dmg
12d10 ⇒ (10, 3, 1, 9, 9, 8, 7, 1, 5, 6, 2, 9) = 70

Recharge
1d4 ⇒ 2

A massive pit fiend with equally sized sword and full plate armor stands in place of David. The sheer power of the beast washes over everyone.

Make a Will Save DC 30 or be slowed as per the spell. Only effects the living, dont know if Asch counts.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30...that was close...


Male Fiend (Unknown) Fighter/Monk 16

Opps forgot the hellfire burst takes up the whole room.

*goes to get AM BARBARIAN so he can sunder the fourth wall*


Damn blindsight ignoring my mirage...
Will Save:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43 Woot(I hope)!

Lysander clenches his jaw to avoid yelling out in pain. He switches up his style, dropping his strange blade as two hilts forged of white fire appear in his hands, three thin, razor sharp blades unraveling. He attacks, looking like a sandstorm given the form of a half-elf.

Activating Bane. Two-Weapon Fighting, still raging. Judgements are the same.

Twin Souls of the Sirocco:1d20 + 31 ⇒ (14) + 31 = 45
1d20 + 35 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 35 + 2 = 56
1d20 + 30 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 30 + 2 = 49

1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 = 32

Confirm Crit1d20 + 39 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 39 + 2 = 46 Darn.
Non-Crit Damage:1d6 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 + 6 + (1, 1) = 27
Fire Damage:1d6 ⇒ 5
Bleed Damage:1d6 ⇒ 2


Lysander:

Spoiler:
You take half damage from that previous attack and no wisdom drain as you are able to disbelieve the semi-solid illusion.

Lysander's blade appears to cut into the strange creature.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30
Will save:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35

Aananda quickly put up a barrier between the fiend and Ryo and Asch, but as a result didn't quite give herself enough time to dodge. She looks annoyed. A very large chunk of the ceiling comes crashing down on the fiend.

Damage: 20d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 5, 5, 1, 1, 3, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 5, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6) = 81
Reflex DC 45 for half damage.

"That was the warning shot. Go back to whatever corner of hell you crawled out of and don't come back," she said coldly.

Stone flowed over the hole left by the crashing ceiling keeping the corridor sealed off so the fiend had no way to escape.


Male Baelnorn (Elven Lich) Diviner/Summoner -


Reflex 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

The fire washes over him with little effect but the sheer power of the blast throws him back. Filne's normal easy face turned hard as his eyes narrowed turning into points of white light. He held off on any action just yet.


Will save:1d20 ⇒ 4 Not a one.
Reflex:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (13) + 25 = 38 Not as close as Asch's save, but still close...

"Hellfire... I remember the last time I saw that." Ryo says as he steps out from behind the wall Aananda created. A card slides from his sleeve and into his hand. " It would be a good idea to leave before I gate you into the Celestial Realm's High Court."


Male Fiend (Unknown) Fighter/Monk 16


Reflex 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
Will 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31

Kalesril rolls off most of the blast and shrugs off the beast's aura. Now that it was no longer in its shell he could sense it properly. He rarely felt dread, it was something he learned only after his condition. This was one of those times, they did not know this was a duke of hell.

"Destroy it. Dont speak, threaten, or reason with it. Dukes are not bound by the same laws."

The fiend appeared behind Ananda with a dark smile.

"The half breed is wise but to late."

The massive blade falls on her.

Attack:

Timeless Dispair
Hit
1d20 + 36 ⇒ (13) + 36 = 49
1d20 + 36 ⇒ (14) + 36 = 50
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (13) + 31 = 44
1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (7) + 30 = 37
Dmg
1d10 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
1d10 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
1d10 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
1d10 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
1d10 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Sneak Attack Dmg (if it applies)
7d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 2, 6, 5, 2) = 23
If the last attack hits add 46 dmg and make a Will save DC 30 or be paralyzed for 1d10 rounds.

Done I think, what a monster. XP

Pazio does not like firefox. He is not so bad I just find his hit high with a +36 and he has some nasty atk options. But he is not high epic, I fully expect the two teachers and headmaster to rip him apart. XD

1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30Well at least I have improved evasion…so 66 points of damage.

Errr.....how exactly was it that the guy whose feet are encased in stone moved up behind to attack? Some kind of teleport?

Anyhow, only the first two hit. Need to know if the sword is adamantine or not.

Aananda turns, pulling stone in around her body as the sword swings towards her, slowing her reactions just a little for the first two swings, but after that she was able to easily dodge the rest.


Male Half-Elf

"Ngh." Michael groans as he wakes up in the auditorium. "When did I move?"


Male Fiend (Unknown) Fighter/Monk 16

Yeah encasing him in stone wont stop him at all. The sword is treated as adamantine. So I guess your AC is 45-49, I think I may have made this guy to weak. T.T

Edit-Will wait for Ryo and Asch to post before posting the duke's next move.

She smiled. "I'm just fine. Especially now that you're awake. It's been a little boring with the sitting and the waiting. Although considering the alternative, boredom isn't so bad. Much better than the running and the screaming that preceded it." ;)


Male Half-Elf

"You're right about that." Michael agrees. "Word got around that I healed yet? I don't want too many people knowing about that."

"Treated as" for damage reduction purposes, or for all purposes except actual chemical makeup? Out of curiosity.

XD

I don't recommend basing power levels off of Aananda and Ryo! They and Tamrin are, I believe, "UBER TEH POWERFUL". ;)
My point being that they generally won't get involved in the plot, and creating villains as strong as they will crush the actual main characters. Power Creep is a major risk then. :P

Plus, you are in my house. It's a deadly character in it's own right, even if you leave out the Garden and the Snake Room.

A loud bang goes off and what looks like part of the wall shoots across the room toward the balor.

Ranged touch:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Damage:8d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 7, 7, 6, 1, 1, 4) = 35

"You would think that with all the demons we've killed, word would have gotten out to stay away from here." Part of the wall next to Ryo seems to have turned into a cannon.
