The Slumbering Tyrant (Crossing the Wasteland) (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

Enough to kill both the deaths knight attacking Ynthar and Bug.

"Stand aside, guardian." Harika's voice takes on an otherworldly echo as she invokes the power of her goddess to calm the closest remaining death knight not under her control.

Cast Calm Emotions (feat lets her Enchantment spells affect undead) to hit the closest remaining Death Knight not under her control and not her companions. She'll also command the one under her control to attack the other group of DKs.

will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The nearby death knight stands down at Harika's command and her other pawn charges the other group near kardav (who I believe is not actually down once he takes into account that the negative energy damage from the swords actually heals him).

Ynthar and kardav have not acted yet this round.

Ynthar will concentrate his attacks, having his nose bloodied isn't something he likes. Being in a mix of men and women who fight better than him is what he is used too. Assisting Bug with his foes.

Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 251d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d10 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Raging 22/25; 4 Fast healing

@Ynthar there is no long a foe adjacent to you. Well there is but he is held in place by a spell and attacking him would break that spell...

Kardav has pm-ed me to say he has to drop out cause he is too busy to continue so were gonna say he died from his injuries

The two remaining deathknights attack their comrade who is mind controlled landing two hits.

Your go again.

You can all act the battle is almost over with only a few deathknights remaining.

Bug will attack one of the still hostile deathknights.

rapid shot, point blank shot, clustered shot, close quarters thrower
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

confirm: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 damage: 2d4 + 30 ⇒ (3, 2) + 30 = 35

Merius smirks as the two death knights are reduced to ash and quickly directs his attention to the remaining undead surrounding the fallen form of his comrade as he continues to hover in the air.

Fire Damage: 5d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 2, 2) + 18 = 34*150%=51 Reflex save DC 22 for 1/2 damage.

SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 4 = 33
SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 4 = 27 Both checks are successful!

The remaining deathknights go don leaving an immobilised one and a controlled one you gather together and finish off the immobilised one leaving only the controlled.

The battle is over but Kardav and the paladin are dead.

"Bug think that not go well. "

What about the berbalang? Is it dead as well?

Merius slowly lowers to the ground and rushes over to find two of their companions dead. "This mission is proving to be much more dangerous than we initially realized." He looks to the cleric, Harika. "Do you have the powers to raise either of these men? If not we cannot leave their bodies here to rot. I can at least give them some peace by incinerating their bodies in a funeral pyre."

Harika looks thoughtfully at the corpses. "My goddess is not in the habit of returning the dead to life. They could still be of use to us, though." She looks at the others. "Leaving them here or incinerating them is wasteful, but I will not animate them if it offends your sensibilities. What say you?"

"I will not allow you to raise the corpse of the paladin as I could easily see that creating a situation where he could not rest in peace. I do not know the customs of dhampirs with such things, but the paladin should be honored appropriately for his customs."

"Bug think they need peace. Burn them. "

The berbalang was destroyed and forced to his physical body for the next 24 hours he will also be severely weakened for this period (his hp is reduced by half)

Okay, thanks Merc!

You can put them in the nearby empty sarcophagus (or burn them in there if you prefer) soon you should press on to find the berbalang while he is weakened.

As a note the paladin has a number of powerful magic items on him.

Will wait for the magicky types to identify items, but Bug will stuff bodies into the sarcophagus and put some oil on them to combust the bodies (after removing any useful items).

What sort of items are we looking at? Also, did the death knights have anything useful on them?

Well his sword for one is +1 flaming holy cold iron longsword with the name Carathax inscribed on it.

His armour is a +2 Mithral Breastplate.

His helmet has a permanent resist cold (20) effect on it.

He has 5 javelins of lightning in a handy haversack as well as 4 potions of cure serious wounds, 500 gold and a diamond worth at least 500 gold. There is also a small silver cylinder with a crystal at the end that doesn't appear to be magical.

And he also has a ring of keys that likely open different doors in this building.

The deathknights All have +1 longswords, +1 full plate armours and +1 darkwood bucklers.

If nobody else wants the helm, Bug will take it, but he's not desperate for it or anything. He has better stuff otherwise. We will collect all the currency, gem, cylinder and keys. No way for me to lug around that much armor or weapons. It's a lot of stuff.

Assuming we have a portable hole or bag of holding, we stash the heavy stuff and move on. I guess we just need to keep exploring to find the corporeal body of the baddie. What are the options?

Alright moving on the to the last fight for this location.

You reach the door at the end of the chamber and open it.

The room beyond is a large preparation chamber you can guess that this is were they have been converting the frozen knights into death knights (A lengtly and costly process takes several days and about 10k gold in materials for each one)

The berbalang is here in his physical form. He growls as you enter and attacks with his recoiling tongue. (he can shoot out his tongue and then retract it back very quickly it has a range of 15 feet)

Who is in front this time? Bug?

tongue attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 291d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 dc 21 fort save of be paralysed for 1d4+1 rounds.

Roll a perception check and then init.

Is that a touch attack?

fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

No, normal attack

The lashing tongue hits Bug in the shoulder stabbing him like a spear. It doesn't do to much damage but Bug quickly feels poison getting to work freezing his body. rounds paralysed: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Seeing the berbelang finally within reach of his fires, Merius quickly gathers energy to himself and sends a blast of fiery death streaking towards the undead monster!

Flame Blast Attack (vs. Touch AC): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Fire Damage: 5d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 5, 6) + 18 = 39*150%=58 Damage!
Burning Infusion: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Berbalang needs to attempt a Reflex save DC 19 to avoid catching fire and taking the additional damage from Burning Infusion every round until the fire is put out.

Need init and perception as well Merius and everyone else as well

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Everyone else?

Is everyone gone?

Still here.

Ok so we have Merius and Bug eater anyone else?

I'm definitely still here.

I may have you join up with the other group and merge.

You guys finish off the berbelang once and for all. In his weakened form he doesn't put up much of a fight. However a strange spiderlike creature appears out of nowhere and join him. The spider creature uses strange mind powers in battle and before you manage to put it down several of you have fallen into a strange coma and wont wake up even thought they appear to be alive.

Once the enemies are destroyed destroyed you go about searching the rest of the place.

You find a few more rooms that are likely laboratories and magic items storage and finally you open the door to the final chamber and are surprised to find it occupied by your comrades from the underground group.

Go on over to their game and post here.
