Quiet in the thread. Did we lose you Bub? Feels like we're close to the end, would be a shame. Time to inject some life in the thread again!
"Tricky with your spells there fiends! But I'm strong enough to fight off your poison, so time to introduce you to my blade!" Valgrim 5' steps to the left, waits for Exousia to flank, and full-attacks the creature!
Full-attack with Dazing Assault:
Attack: 1d20 + 34 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 34 + 2 = 50
Damage: 2d4 + 2d6 + 40 ⇒ (2, 3) + (1, 2) + 40 = 48

Lose me? I hadn’t seen any updates for a week. I’ve been checking daily, but not opening every thread. If it helps, remember my inspire courage bonus applies to all saves now.
Bublaka weaves the casting of a new good hope to aid his friends among the notes of his chant.

Apologies for absence...
Exousia regenerates 10 damage and flanks the Broodfiend with Valgrim:
Attack: 1d20 + 29 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 29 + 2 = 47 - hit
Damage: 5d6 + 36 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 6, 1) + 36 = 52
Attack: 1d20 + 29 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 29 + 2 = 48 - hit
Damage: 5d6 + 36 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 5, 2) + 36 = 52
Attack: 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 24 + 2 = 44 - hit
Damage: 5d6 + 36 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 5, 4) + 36 = 59

Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21 - miss
Total damage: 52+52+59= 163
Since Exousia and Alie both took 78 damage from the acid, Friar channels energy to heal the party.
Channel: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 4, 1) = 29
Alie is up - one of the fiends should be severely wounded (196+163=359) - take him out if you can!

The Broodfiend turns to dust!
Fort save vs. Disintegrate: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35..fails!
Round 2:
The fiend attacks Exousia with its tentacle bites and wings! All of its attacks are true, with the Kyuss worms tentacles draining the angel's intelligence. It then casts negative energy

SR check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28...penetrates its 27 SR.

"Leave her alone, fiend!"
Valgrim spring-attacks the Brood with Dazing Assault!
Attack: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (7) + 34 = 41

Seeing the wounded Exousia (who has taken 178 damage), the Broodfiend moves in for the kill!
Bite #1: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (11) + 36 = 47
Damage: 3d6 + 34 - 10 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) + 34 - 10 = 35

Intelligence Drain: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Total: 254 damage, Exousia drops unconscious and since not evil, she is not dead
Intelligence drain: 18 points (her Intelligence score is down to 4!)
The Broodfiend then turns on Valgrim!

Damage: 1d8 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26
Wing: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (12) + 34 = 46

Concentration check vs. DC of 46: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40..fails and loses the spell!
Recap:
Broodfiend: total of 136 damage
Valgrim: took 55 damage
Exousia is currently at -31 hps and unconscious.
Party is up!
| Friar Ferez |
Friar pulls out a Scroll and casts Mass Heal on the party, healing all of 200 hps, including Exousia, plus the 10 points of damage she normally regenerates. The spell, however, does not heal her Intelligence damage.
Exousia will delay to see if Valgrim can Daze the fiend.
| Valgrim Twin-Axe |
Valgrim roars in anger when the fiend drops Exousia, "You will pay for that fiend!"
Full attack with Dazing Assault:

I think we need to rest. I am out of most offensive spells and healing spells and the enemies we are facing hit hard. I think coming back tomorrow at full strength would be best.
| Valgrim Twin-Axe |
Foolish is the party who does not follow its cleric's advice, so we return to Tenser's abode to spend the possibly last night of our lives and prepare for the Armageddon!
| Death-Lok |
Tenser and his guests welcome you back to their Tower where they greet you with food and wine. They hear your stories and are amazed by your defeat of Lashonna, Dragotha, and the Broodfiends. Tenser addresses you, "You are the worthiest of heroes and tales of your exploits will live forever if we can stop the apocalypse. Lashonna and Dragotha were Kyuss' generals so you have greatly weakened his forces. However, he still has the power of a god. I have done all I can but I cannot stop the manifestation of Kyuss onto the Material Plane tomorrow. I promise I will delay it as much as possible to give you a fighting chance. Unfortunately, even I as an archmage, cannot offer much hope than that. You five have never let us down. The fate of the world is in your hands. It is a huge responsibility and one that I live with daily. My home is open to you and you may travel freely. I can arrange to have delivered whatever you need, be it food, delicacies, books, and any other pleasures, even of the flesh that you may desire this night. If you are shy, you may come ask me privately in my chambers for your heart's desire." Tenser smiles and answers any questions you may have at this time.
You can rp at this time. What does your character do on possibly the last night of his/her life? Please post your memorized spells and buffs the following morning so I can keep track of them.
| Valgrim Twin-Axe |
Valgrim asks the archmage for the finest dwarven spirit he has access to prior to dinner and then during dinner, he stands and toasts his friends and addresses Tenser/Manzorian after his speech: "You may see this as our last supper before the apocalypse, Archmage and I understand your point of view, but you have not lived or seen the battles I have with these friends here present for the past years, ever since our foray into the Whispering Cairn. We have faced death and undeath at every turn and survived, thanks to the skills of my friends. So I know this with the greatest of certainty, that we will survive tomorrow, and we will prevail. So save your whores and whatever other earthly pleasures you offer, no disrespect intended, because this is what is going to happen. Tonight I am going to drink and drink of these fine dwarven spirits until I pass out and you're all free to join me. Then tomorrow, Friar's feast will cure me of any hangover and we will go do battle with the remainder of Kyuss' forces, including Maralee who we have yet to see, and then deal with a god. And after we defeat it, however we manage to do it, and stave off the Age of Worms, we are going to bask in the praise of the city. Then after the celebrations die down, I am going to take my share of the immense Dragotha hoard and I am going to find myself a fine dwarven lass and I am going to make a litter of babies and go retire as a dwarven king in some mountain range. That's how my story ends...dying of old age surrounded by my family and friends. So, tomorrow is not the end of all days. It is the beginning of my retirement. We will make it so! Now drink up, my friends! Our deeds tomorrow will echo on for eternity!!"
Alie Saechell

Alie was the opposite of the bold dwarf. She preferred a quiet evening in her room, relaxing and steeling herself for the battle to come the next morning. Against a god. She doesn't sleep well, that much was certain.
| Valgrim Twin-Axe |
Memorized spells:
1 - Anticipate peril, Endure elements, Lead blades (x2)
2 - Barkskin, Hunter's Eye, Ironskin, Versatile Weapon
3 - Burst of speed, Instant Enemy, Repel Vermin
4 - Freedom of Movement, Terrain Bond
| Bublaka |
Bublaka stands after Valgrim’s toast and composes an ode to the death of a god on the spot, complete with references to the many they have met, fought with, and lost along the way. A ghostly image of himself accompanies with a lute, strumming quietly.
Once done, he stands in silence as his audience waits, unsure if more is coming. He gives them a deep and respectful bow as the ghostly bard disappears. ”This will have to be the performance of several lifetimes. If you’ll excuse me, at this moment, another voice calls to me.”
The half-orc cordially makes his exit, politely visiting with those that wish to critique or praise his spontaneous poetry, but eventually making his way out of the room to a window where he stares off into the distance, remembering someone he had never expected to find and hoping that she is able to escape harm in the battles to come.
| Friar Ferez |
Friar raises his glass after Valgrim's toast, winking at the dwarf "I will do my best to keep yer reckless ass alive! That goes for all of you." He applauds after Bub's recital and excuses himself after the meal to seek quiet reflection to ponder his life and pray to Sarenrae/Pelor for guidance and favor. Then he retires for the night, leaving the party's survival in higher hands.
Exousia excuses herself after dinner as well and flies into the skies, basking in the moonlight. She then lands and changes shape to not draw attention and walks around Magepoint and its citizens, remembering the goodness in all life for which she fights.

The next morning, after he sobers up from the Heroes' Feast, Valgrim toasts his companions properly, "Whatever happens today, it was an honor to have adventured with all of you." He keeps it short and sweet and sits to finish the rest of his meal. Afterwards, he checks his armor and gear (wielding falchion, vorpal greataxe strapped on back, speed ghost dagger in boot) and he's ready to go, cast buffs, and teleport to Tower.

I will let you know as time passes in game (I believe your earliest buff, Protection from Evil, ends at 8.5 minutes). I organized your Buffs by level, as it makes it easier if you get hit by a Greater Dispel Magic, for example, to track the effects.
| Death-Lok |
After your Feast and buffs, Manzorian and Agath wish you well, before they teleport you to the Tower. You appear and see nothing has changed from whence you left the battle the day before. The corpses of Dragotha and Brazzemal still litter the battlefield. You fly up as before, with Exousia carrying Bubba, while Friar activates his Boots of Flying. You pass the empty corridors of enemies you have cleared out previously. You reach 100' from the base of the Spire and continue flying up. You pass by the area with the three Broodfiends you killed previously and continue rising up for another 200'. You now find yourselves 600' in the air, when you reach another balcony, 150' high. As you look in, you see an assortment of enemies have gathered here, perhaps their last stand, in defense of the Spire: You count 2 Broodfiends and 9 Kyuss Knights, all flying or Air Walking, one of which is distinctly the leader and quite different from the rest, as it wears a face-plate and has wild white hair. To those with a sharp sight (Perception +15 and higher), you can tell the emaciated undead form may have been a woman in life. Perhaps because you were once infused with Balakarde's spirit, but you instinctively know this is Maralee, the dead archmage's daughter. She commands in a powerful voice, "Death to the intruders! Our god Kyuss commands it!"
Initiative:
Broodfiends: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Kyuss Knights: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Maralee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Alie: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Bub: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Exousia: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Friar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Valgrim: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
Bub, Friar, Valgrim, Exousia are first.
| Friar Ferez |
Friar draws his Rod of Maximize Greater and unleashes a Maximized Sunburst inside the room!
Damage: 126/36 for fiends plus blindness
DC 27 Reflex save for half and no blindness
SR checks:
Broodfiend #1: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29
Broodfiend #2: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36
I don't believe Kyuss Knights have SR but if they do, roll the checks for me.
Exousia will drop off Bub with his Airwalk, delay until after bard inspires and hastes, and charge Broodfiend #1:
Attack: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 28 + 2 = 50...threat
Confirmation: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 28 + 2 = 31...no
Damage: 3d6 + 36 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) + 36 + (6, 1) = 51
| Bublaka |
The bard does indeed inspire and haste, as planned.
I should point out that my earlier AC post is two points lower than my AC vs undead due to the defiant ability on my armor. (I think that's the name of the property - I didn't look to confirm.)
| Death-Lok |
Thanks for clarification, Bub.
Friar is correct that Kyuss Knights and Maralee do not have SR.
For ease of this combat:
Kyuss Knights: AC 35/34 FF
Maralee: AC 44/42 FF
Broodfiend: AC 39/37 FF
Saves:
Broodfiend #1 SR not overcome (SR 31), takes 51 damage from Exousia
Broodfiend #2: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 - with no head, immune to blindness - 18 damage
Maralee: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42 - 63 damage not blind
KK1: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27 - 63 damage not blind
KK2: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25 - 126 damage, blind
KK3: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32 - 63 damage not blind
KK4: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35 - 63 damage not blind
KK5: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38 - 63 damage not blind
KK6: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36 - 63 damage not blind
KK7: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40 - 63 damage not blind
KK8: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26 - 126 damage, blind
It appears the Kyuss Knights are savvy as to the party's tactics and Friar's maximized Sunburst only burns two of the knights severely, but all the enemies still stand.
Valgrim is up!
| Valgrim Twin-Axe |
Apologies for delay...
Knowing the strength of the Broodfiends, Valgrim considers them the stronger threat and decides to ignore Maralee for now. As a swift action, he uses a Mythic point to charge Broodfiend #1 and strike at it, bypassing DR on his strike.
Fleet charge: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 36 + 1 = 45...hit
Damage: 2d6 + 38 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 38 + (4, 5) = 57
Fort Save DC 30 or be Dazed.
Full attack:
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (6) + 31 = 37...hit
Damage: 2d6 + 38 + 2d6 - 15 ⇒ (5, 5) + 38 + (6, 3) - 15 = 42
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (13) + 31 = 44...hit
Damage: 2d6 + 38 + 2d6 - 15 ⇒ (6, 2) + 38 + (1, 2) - 15 = 34
1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27...miss
1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32...miss
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24...miss
Total damage: 51 (from Exousia) +57+42+34=184
3 DC 30 Fort saves or be Dazed.
Mythic points remaining: 6/7
| Death-Lok |
Fort saves vs. Daze:
1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29...dazed!
Round 1: Broodfiends and Kyuss Knights
Broodfiend #1 is Dazed this round.
Broodfiend #2:
As a swift action, it casts a Greater Dispel Magic on Alie!
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26 vs. DC 31/32 - fails
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 vs. DC 31/32 - fails
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32 vs. DC 31/32 - success
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33 vs. DC 31/32 - success
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35 vs. DC 31/32 - success
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30 vs. DC 31/32 - fails
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36 vs. DC 31/32 - success
She loses Moment of Prescience (CL 20), Heroes’ Feast (CL 21), True Seeing (CL 20), and Overland Flight (CL 20)! Thankfully, she does not fall to her death, as Fiery Body gives her the ability to fly.
The Broodfiend follows that up by rushing at the sorceress, as it soars on its wings! It moves next Alie (putting Friar and Bub within range of its tentacles as well!) and bites her viciously with its Kyuss-worm enhanced tentacle, draining a great portion of Alie's intelligence!
Bite attack: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (6) + 36 = 42
Damage: 3d6 + 40 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 40 = 51
Intelligence Drain: 1d8 ⇒ 8 dropping her to 2 Intelligence! Thankfully, her magic is a product of her force of personality rather than intelligence! If she drops to 0, she dies!
Fiery Body protects from ability damage, not ability drain!
Maralee sends her Kyuss Knights into battle and all 8 of them, even the blind ones, move to within melee range of Exousia and Valgrim! The Knights swing their unholy bastard swords and penetrate through the angel's damage reduction as well as stop her regeneration ability!
Exousia gets one AoO.
Attack on Exousia: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31 - miss
Attack on Exousia: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39 - hit
Damage: 3d10 + 25 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 10, 2) + 25 + (2, 6) = 51
Attack on Valgrim: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37 - miss
Summary of Round:
Alie lost 4 buffs and took 51 damage and 8 Intelligence drain
Exousia lost 15 temp hps and took 36 damage and no regeneration of damage
Alie is up and then Maralee to finish the Round.
FYI, since Disintegrate is a Ray, casting it in a threatened area, as you are now will provoke AoO from enemy.
Alie Saechell
|
Alie could only think about escape, so she cast a Quickned Dimension Door to move 40’ to the right, putting her group in between she and the fiend.
| Death-Lok |
A confident maralee walks forward 40', wielding her executioner's mace, and looks upon Valgrim and Exousia who are now within 30' of her. Her terrible gaze starts to affect your eyes, causing you pain!
Fort save DC 33 for Valgrim and Exousia or become permanently blinded as your eyes transform into Kyuss worms!
She then casts Protection from Energy on herself.
After the saves, Valgrim, Exousia, Friar, and Bub are up.
