The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

You see a large figure standing outside the gatehouse as well. It appears to be some horned ape with shaggy brown fur. It roars as it notices you and the six cacodaemons flying about begin to descend towards you, hovering about 50 ft. above.

Initiative:

Arista: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Sādhanā: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Cyna: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Drago: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Sienna: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Ylrhea: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Cacodaemons: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Ceustodaemon: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Round 1: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Ceustodaemon, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

"If we're ready, when they spot us they'll probably swarm. We can try to hit them when they come at us." Sādhanā suggests

Knowledge Planes : Ceustodaemon: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

"I guess we're not making a run for it," Ylrhea says, drawing her crossbow and loading it. She fires at the big apelike creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24; Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Ylrhea watches as her crossbow bolt bounces harmlessly off the beast. "Damn it, I should have bought silver bolts..."

You know about ceustodaemons too, Sādhanā.

"Be careful, the big has all the same immunities, it can unravel magic, hold you in palce, slow things down and teleport....and Ylrhea...he can see invisibility." Sādhanā calls out.

"Great..."

Is row 1 up against the gatehouse wall?

There's about 30 more feet between row 1 and the wall. I'll add it in.

Ok.Thanks

Cyna calls upon her spirit allies to coat her arrows in a magical light. That same light spills over to Ylrhea's bolts. "That should do." Cyna says drawing her bow.

Cast Versatile Weapon - Silver 30 Arrows and 20 bolts

During the serenity of the trip, Drago had completely forgot to summon Tarja back. Pulling his family blade, he readied himself for attack while trying to figure out what to do. Though she still wasn't strong on this plane, she did possess a silver weapon, giving her the capability of inflicting some damage at least. He'd have blamed his forgetfulness on the lack of sleep, but he still wasn't feeling the least bit tired.

Arista advances 30ft in order to affect her allies as well as many of the enemies as possible. Lifting her face to the heavens she says, "Shining dawn flower, our Goddess Sarenrae, guide us this day that we might bring victory to you and death to your enemies."

Moving to F17. Casting Mythic Prayer: +2 attack, dmg, all saving throws, bad guys get -2 to their rolls.

Mythic Prayer: The spell's luck bonus increases to +2, and the penalty for enemies changes to –2. When you cast the spell, your affected allies heal an amount of hit point damage equal to double your tier, and affected enemies take an amount of damage equal to double your tier.

You also need to be within 40 ft. of everyone you want to affect, including enemies.

The ceustodaemon roars as it is hurt by Arista's spell and lumbers towards the warpriestess. It opens its mouth and unleashes a cone of flame.

Breath Weapon: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 5, 2, 6) = 19; Recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 4; DC17 Reflex Save for half, Arista.

Round 1: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Ceustodaemon, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

Arista throws up her shield as the vile thing breaths on her.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

She lets out a scream as the flames singe her flesh.

Sienna's eyes glow like a bright bonfire as she unleashes two flaming rays against the ceustodaemon.

M. Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23; Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 4, 1, 4) = 21; bypasses any fire resistance or immunity.

M. Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28; Crit. Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11; Critical Damage: 12d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 1, 6, 2, 1, 4, 1, 5, 6, 1) = 42

The daemon burns despite its resistance as Sienna's spell burns its hair and flesh. It barely manages to stand at this point.

Round 1: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Ceustodaemon, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

I have the perfect spell for this situation.

I think we need to lay down for a little bit.

Sādhanā charges past Arista blade slicing down in a vicious slash that cuts into the large fiend. With blinding speed she twists her blade and brings it straing up, slicing it's way out of the deamon with lethal precision.

Charge
1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 2 = 30
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Sudden strike Take better of 2 attacks Ignores all DR
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 Take this attack
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Confirm
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Free action: Enhance Oblivion +3 silver. Full round action:Charge. (ending in H15) Swift action :Sudden strike

That dude don't stand a chance. Lol.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nope. heh.

Sādhanā bisects the large daemon as Oblivion cuts through its flesh. The cacodaemons swarm Sādhanā, circling around her.

Round 1: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Ceustodaemon, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

That soooo doesn't look good.

Of course, we must await for the Drago...about 5 hours from now.

Arista will bat herself on the head in the meantime to make sure that her hair isn't on fire. Lol Cutting it is one thing, but she won't stand for things burning her hair. Lol

Drago moved towards Sādhanā a little and thrust his free hand forward while speaking, "Suaco." Suddenly the wind picked up and blew over two of the monsters attacking the Magus.

Move to G-20, cast Gust of Wind in a line straight in front of me. Fortitude vs DC 17 to negate. If they fail that, they also need to back a Fly check at -4 Penalty vs DC 25 or be blown back and take damage.

Blown Back: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 x 10 = 20

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6; Fly: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 18 - 4 = 27

Blown Back: 1d4 ⇒ 1; 10 feet; Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Drago's spell only manages to blow one of the daemons to the ground, causing some light bruising.

Round 2: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

Ylrhea levels her crossbow and fires again at one of the cacodaemons.

Attack on H16: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23; Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Mythic Prayer should apply to both Sienna and Ylrhea's attacks.

Cyna uses her enchanted arrows to pick off a few of the daemons harassing Sadhana.

Yes, but...

Cyna easily drops four of the daemons swarming Sādhanā, leaving two.

Round 2: Ylrhea, Cyna, Arista, Sienna, Sādhanā, Cacodaemons, Drago

Taking in the scene before her, Arista pulls out her blade as she goes to stand beside Sadhana. As she moves up, she traces her fingers along her blade imbuing it with holy power saying, "Sarenrae, bless this weapon that it may bring destruction upon our enemies."

Moving up to Sadhana and attacking the little bastard in front of her.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24

Slice: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 Fire, not that it matters. Heh: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Holy Destruction of Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Let's see how this goes...

As Arista cuts down one daemon, Sienna unleashes a barrage of mythic magic missiles.

M³: 8d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3) + 4 = 23

With Sienna's spell, the daemons are defeated.

Combat Over.

With that part done she takes a deep breath and then remembering the flames puts her hands up to her head while looking herself over. "How bad is it? Did that stupid thing burn off my hair? I guess I should just be happy I didn't get bitten this time."

Ylrhea walks up to Arista. "Nah, you're fine. Just a little scorched."

She gets a strange look on her face, a slightly pouty lip while raising an eyebrow, the corner of her mouth lifts ever so slightly. "Yeah...I know it could have gone much worse. I just wanna get through this so we can all go home where things aren't trying to burn, bite, eat, or otherwise destroy us every five minutes. Sorry....just feeling a little....frustrated I guess. I don't know..." She gets quiet for a minute, "I guess we just keep moving then. Is everyone else alright?"

"Yeah, all fine here, but looks like we had a welcoming committee so should be interesting seeing what else they have in store for us." Sādhanā mutters flicking daemon blood off of Oblivion's blade

She sighs, "I guess we pissed off some right nasty son's o' b##**es huh? Well...I guess we better get moving if we want to reach a secure location by nightfall. I don't wanna waste too much more time on these bastards. I'm sick of getting chewed on, and dammit if I don't wanna just start ripping their heads off and shoving them so far up their asses that....sorry, nevermind. Must be the stupid hormones talking again...suffice it to say that we should just concentrate on getting through this so we can be done with this crap already."

She stops and looks at the ground for a minute before looking back up, "I'm sorry...I know this isn't how I am usually...I guess I've just sorta had it. Let them send whatever they like because at the end of the day....we'll be the ones walking away and we have each other. Right?"

"We should make for the bath house," Sienna says, looking around. "Don't need Magnus getting our daemonic presents for us."

She nods, "Right." and starts heading that way, her sword gripped tightly in her hand.

"Let's move" Sādhanā says leading the way onto the bridge.

You make your way across the bridge without any further delays and arrive at the bath house in the late afternoon. You see some movement up ahead at the fifth station.

"So do we want to settle in here and let the night pass or move on the 5th station now? We run the risk of the sun going down to thier advantage." Sādhanā asks the others.

Ylrhea peers down the way.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Ylrhea's not sure, but the figures ahead seem to be too large for dwarves.

She shakes her head, "We can always fall back later if need be...but, I don't want to give those a!&!@&@s even more time to prepare. From this point on nothing is going to be easy, but I believe we can do this."

Getting a weird kind of smile on her face she digs through the bag real quick and pulls out one of the larger charges with the pull wire on it.

"If they wanna play....let's play." She shrugs as she looks at the others, "If nothing else, it could be at least a diversionary tactic right? Or am I just having another silly idea?"

"What in Vesaria are you thinking?"

"Well...depending on what they have up there, I'm pretty much just thinking about blowing the shit outta it." She sighs, "I don't know...maybe I wanna move on from being an exploding box of rainbows, to an exploding box of death and destruction. It's probably a crazy idea anyways..."
