Round 4, Init 13

"Cole! I think he's talking to me! Let's make him stop!"

"Kindling, quick! Tell us what would make you stop talking and we'll try that! It's a good idea!" Aasimarra says, thinking quickly.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 Bluff - Mathilda

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 Spellcraft

Aasimarra moves forward towards the banner which is likely *right* there and readies to blast the demon with arcane magics (or tries to) when it shows up again.

3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 3 = 10 force damage

Round: 4, Initiative: 22->12

Cole comes out of delay right behind Serra (init shift to 12)

"Cole! I think he's talking to me! Let's make him stop!"

"Keep him talking Mathilda, maybe you'll distract him - or can learn where he is."

He moves up to better cover Serra, and readies an action to attack the Demon should it show itself again. He's using a ghost salt arrow to overcome incorporealness. He swiftly uses a bit of legendary power from Mathilda to give his confirmation roll a greater chance.

bow (magic, cold iron): 1d20 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 6 = 38 (point blank, bolstering, focus)

Oh dear Erastil, please show yourself!

"Kindling, quick! Tell us what would make you stop talking and we'll try that! It's a good idea!"

1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1 Sense Motive DC 17 - Serra

"I didn't quite catch that, Rusty. Did you say something?"

"Keep him talking Mathilda, maybe you'll distract him - or can learn where he is."

Jurin assists Joran up the side of the pit.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 +1 for traps

Cole looks around seeing very little, but seeing it very well.

Round 5

Eli continues to enjoy his pit-iful confines, as well as the now-pressing heat, as his magics slowly try and restore his health to confrontational levels...

Round 2 of Lesser Restoration

Cole feels strangely uneasy a moment...

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (4) = 16 (Mythic surge)

Sensing danger, he draws on his mythic power to try and overcome the strange feelings.

Round 5

Eli continues his restoration project while Jestak continues her climb out of the pit.

climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Suddenly, a horrendous howl sounds from beyond the altar.

Perception checks, please
Serra, Jurin, and Cole are up (Joran will defer to Cole before making a move)

Jurin stays below the level of the pit and casts a quick defensive spell.

Mirror Image

"Still need help rising little bread?"

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Will post more pending the discovery.

Cole's Eagle Eye spots a faint glimmer move in the gem behind the altar, a shimmer mixed with shadow. Suddenly, it's clear, the DEMON is INSIDE!!!. His bow, already poised to shoot, fires, crashing into the lavender gem with such precision that the stone shatters, a thousand amethyst shards flying into the air, followed by the hissing howl of darkness as the Shadow Demon is flung into the room. Still dusted by Serra's Glittery spell, his form stretches amorphously wide, then snaps back upon its self.

"Finnnne, THEN. Let's do this the fun Way!!!"

Due to Cole's readied action, he now goes just after the Demon's attempt on his soul. Jurin, if you would like to make a different decision for your turn, feel free.

*NOW* Serra and Jurin are up!

Can I make a K. Planes to see if Mirror Image will do me any good against said demon? Would also like to know if it is vulnerable to acid or electricity.

K. Planes: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

Nice Knowl Planes. This is a Shadow Demon, but more awesome than any you've ever met before. You can almost taste the shadowblood in his shadowy veins through the very air. You get one question. It is immune to electricity, and has acid resistance 10.

Jurin, acting on the whispered learnings of an ankheg flavored angel, changes his action.

acid elemental shocking grasp

Aasimarra's ready last round should do 10 force damage.

Round 5, Init 13

With a target in sight, Aasimarra fires again and moves again.

Round 5, Summary

Eli continues his restoration, Jestak climbs, The Darkness tries Dark things on Cole. Cole spots the demon's hiding place and fires, shattering the gem and freeing the demon to his just consequences. Serra, readied to send a barrage of force missiles at the creature. (-23 points of damage). Jurin sizes up the threat and casts a spell.
Joran shouts, "There he is, there he is!" and readies to fight defensively, should he be endangered.

Round 5, Init 17

Eli finishes his magical knitting, holding it for all to see, then frumping when the flames continue to obscure his visibility at the bottom of the pit.

Round 3 of Lesser Restoration, capturing back 1d4 ⇒ 4 Con

"So, Jurin, are we royally screwed here? I'm surprised I don't have more company down here. Have they finished it off yet?"

Eli grows restless.

Round 6, init 15

While Ely continues to hem and haw, Jestak continues her climb to glory. "Come on, Old Man! They are having the Fun without US!!!"

climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

She pulls herself across the ledge lip and roars. raging

The creature looks once at the knight slinging force missiles, but cannot resist the temptation of the ranger right in front of him. five foot waft

bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 271d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (6) = 7
claw 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 281d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (3) = 8
claw 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 311d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10 second d6 is cold damage

Round: 5, Initiative: 12

Cole wonders why everyone is hiding from the demon, until it attacks him. Is anyone going to help?

He focuses on what he can do, stepping back 5’, he launches his own barrage at the beast. ”You’ll get yours demon. Your mind tricks were useless, and so will your attacks be.”

bow (magic, good, cold iron, ghost touch): 1d20 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 6 = 33 (point blank, bolstering, focus)
damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 = 17 (point blank, focus)

damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 5 = 18 (point blank, focus)

Sadly, Cole doesn't find the purchase he's looking for as he fingers his far too few arrows for the purpose... I must do better...

Perhaps it is his lone position against the demon that sends a couple of his arrows astray, but only one flies true thru the demon. The creature gasps, then snarls as the ghost touch allows it to pierce him rather than fly harmlessly through his incorporeal form.

Serra, Jurin, and Joran are up!

Round 4, Init 13

With a target in sight, Aasimarra fires again and then tries to move between Cole and the demon.

3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 3 = 9 force damage

"Are you attacking him because of his hat? Come now. Attack a knight!" Aasimarra challenges, holding glowing ranseur before him.

"Well Eli, it's getting interesting."

Jurin flies into the room, ready to attack the demon next turn. He gives the shadow being the Eye of Durant.

Evil Eye, Will Save DC 19 or -4 to Attacks for 8 rounds. Successful save reduces to 1 round.

Serra slams another hale of missiles, each one striking with full force. Jurin sets his evil eye upon the Evil Guy, and wishes him ill.

will save vs evil eye: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 He makes the save, but still takes a hit to his attacks for the next round.

Joran, enboldened by the others, considers engaging like the others....but instead changes his mind and begins to restore Jestaka.

Eli is up!!!

Round 7, Init 17

Eli considers Jurin's words carefully, then debates the rope. Instead, he pulls from the Well, and tries his hand at a spell he's not had any experience with before. Once he's sure it'll work, he begins to ascend, allowing the air beneath his feet to prop him up to higher and higher levels. Inspired Spell- Air Walk

He begins the slowly painful trudge upwards 45 feet. Move Action- 20' normal movement, now uphill, no more than at a 45 degree angle, so 10' up now.

"Are you attacking him because of his hat? Come now. Attack a knight!" Aasimarra challenges, holding glowing ranseur before him.

"Have it your way, "Ser Knight"...." The shadowy creature mocks as it turns to attack Serra.

bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 301d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + (2) = 9

possible crit, claw 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 271d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (2) = 8 the last d6 on each is cold damage

"Ssssoooo niccccccccce to meeeet youuuu..." He spits, right in Serra's face.

Cole, Serra, and Jurin are up!

Round: 7, Initiative: 12

Cole takes another step back and continues to shoot his precious arrows.

bow (magic, good, cold iron, ghost touch): 1d20 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 6 = 30 (point blank, bolstering, focus)
damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 = 16 (point blank, focus)

damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 5 = 21 (point blank, focus)

He uses his mythic powers to grant Serra a free swing at +2 to hit and bypassing all DR.*

"Serra! You've got him!"

Cole files a trio of arrows, though only two of them strike home. Like tthose before them, they do some, but not as much damage as he would have hoped. (-17hp)

He then gifts Serra with an addittional attack, one mythically likely to do more damage, if it hits.

Serra and Jurin are up!

"Serra!"

Lithe and beautiful Aasimarra takes a bite to the neck, a viciously cold wound that frostbites the skin around his shoulder.

"You've got..."

As his attention is jerked to the sound of Cole's voice, a icy claw rakes across his face, giving him frozen tears.

"...him!"

As the second icy claw rips Serra's side, he grits his teeth and tries to repay the favor, driving his gauntleted fist into the demon's jaw. He would use his ranseur, but he is too close.

1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27 to hit;
1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10 damage, no DR.

ghostliness for Serra's attack: 1d100 ⇒ 32 Low is good for me.

Serra's extra attack smashes right through the demon, but it's as if it's body simply reforms in its wake. 50% miss chance due to his whispy nature, unless that gauntlet is ghost touched?

Jurin sees how easily the Darkness strikes Serra's bloated form and leaves off extending his curse in favor of striking.

Move to flank with Serra. Swift to Arcane Accuracy.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Acid: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 5, 7, 8, 7) = 28

No special ability to hit incorporeal. Magic and Cold Iron.

incorporeal to Jurin's attack. Low is good for me.: 1d100 ⇒ 76

17-10+28-10=-15hp Jurin's attack is vicious and catches the demon somewhat offguard, but it does less to the demon than the quartermaster would expect from something so yeasty...

Joran finishes his restoration on Jestak, helping her feel a little more like herself. restoration, con: 1d4 ⇒ 3
He then follows up with a CLW for good measure.

"There, now go get that thing."

Jestak rushes towards the fight, burning with a need for vengeance. rage

Unfortunately, the demon is too far for her to attack this round.

She does provide another target, but he seems intent on the one he has.

He then uses his mythic powers to grant Jurin a free swing at +2 to hit and bypassing all DR*

He looks frustrated at his luck. He draws a cold iron arrow...

Oops. Looks like I didn't post an action last round. My bad. Completely missed that in the chaos of PaizoCon. My apologies.

35/85 hp

Serra staggers as he is hit, then hit again, then hit again. He stands tall, however, knowing that if he dies taking this demon out, when it will be worth the sacrifice and two failures will be erased from the world in one day: one of them a false knight.

Round 8, Init 13

Aasimarra fires his wand again at the demon.

3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 3 = 11 force damage

Cole misses all three shots; his bow seems to quiver with outraged indignation at such a travesty, but alas, not a one scratched the demon.

Serra has no such problem, as he draws his wand and hits the horrible shade with 3 missiles (-11, everything hits).

Jurin is up, both his regular turn, and the mythic attack he was gifted from Cole.

"Time to make the donuts."

Jestaka rushes to join the fight, but doesn't actually get to engage.
Cole misses with every shot, though he does gift the quartermaster with an extra attack. Serra absorbs a lot of pain, but manages to fire off his wand to give a little back.
Jurin Slices, he dices, he juliennes, but alas, he only actually connects once. Luckily, that is on his last attack, the one gifted by Cole, so it does full damage, leaving little bits shadowy nothing clinging to his sword. -15
Joran, seeing damage Serra is taking, rushes in to help on little squatty dwarven legs. unfortunately, he doesn't make it this round.

He tries to gauge the current circumstances, as he gains vantage above the pit's edge.

Eli continues his climb.
Jestaka joins the fray, but her sword doesn't even come close to the demon. Could the great big barbarian be *afraid*???

Cole misses all but one of his shots, but what a shot it proves to be. It leaves a gaping hole in the shadow demon that takes much longer to close than any before. (-46hp)

Serra and Jurin are up!

Though his armor and flesh are getting as shattered as Jurin's psyche, Aasimarra fires his wand again at the demon. He gracefully slides back from the soaring demon.
