"Die Demon!!!"
Varn steps into the vacant spot left by Aeron and reaches into one of his component pouches; he retrieves a small vial containing powdered silver. He removes the cork and pours the silver in a small circle around him while speaking arcane words... A glow begins to emanate from the silver powder and begins to spread out into an wispy, silvery aura in a 10-foot diameter around Varn to encompass all his comrades. "You have no power here, demon. We will send you back to the Abyss! Tell your masters they are next!"
Seeing their foe before them at last, Korric springs into action with the rest of her group. The stone walls around them ripple and quiver as the Half-Orc chants under her breath. The stone directly above the demon shifts like disturbed water, and begins to take a new shape. Soon, the walls stop their movement, and a massive stone fist drops from the ceiling, bigger than the demon itself, right on top of him.
Round 1_____
Immediate action:
Mythic surge to leap forward ten feet to attack the demon.
for a possible piercing, cold iron, magic, good and precision damage bypassing all DR.
Move action:
Feint with cape.
Standard action:
for a possible piercing, cold iron, magic, good and precision damage.
Othello bestows judgement of destruction upon the vrock as he fires two arrows at him.
Without hesitation, Tessai moves around the central area, calling upon Radiance and Iomedae to bolster her strength against the demon.
I'm going to proceed Korric's spell doesn't work as intended it seems so going to need another retcon on that. Let me know what you decided to do.
The demon got an attack of op on Aeron when he moved up going to roll that now.
That's a miss.
Orlando completely misses once and destroys an image.
Othello also completely misses once and destroys the last image.
With one image left Tessai attacks and totally misses.
The demon is mostly unharmed thanks to it's mirror images. One remains and it took a bit of damage. Now that several opponents got closer it unleashes it's spores and counter attacks.
Spores deal automatic damage to everyone who is adjacent (Aeron, Tessai and Orlando) and continue to do damage every round until stopped or they stop by themselves after 10 rounds. (holy water or casting bless or casting remove disease)
The demon looks at the wound inflicted by Aeron's blow. "Not bad human but you are still no match for me!"
Focusing all it's attacks on Aeron.
Landing 4 hits for 49 damage.
Your go you can all post again.
She swears under her breath, watching the wall of stone she called forth crash over the demon's back but do nothing. Seeing the big warrior move in and get hit pretty badly, she'll move in behind him and lay a hand on his shoulder, surrounding his body with a faint glow of magical energy to help fend off the creature a little better.
Seeing the Vrock lay heavily into Aeron, Varn quickly uses his knowledge of his bonded spells and spends several precious seconds to rewrite his chosen spells for the day...
Round 2_____
Immediate action:
Mythic surge to to fast attack the demon in a dramatic blur.
for a possible piercing, cold iron, magic, good and precision damage bypassing all DR.
Move action:
Feint with cape.
Standard action:
for a possible piercing, cold iron, magic, good and precision damage.
"You are a fool" - Tessai roars at the demon, shifting to make sure she is adjacent to Aeron - "And you will be banished today, I do declare in the name of the Goddess!" - Radiance swings, one and again with impossible speed.
Bleeding and coughing demonic spores, Aeron refuses to go down.
Between Tessai and Aeron you manages to bring down the demon.
"What? Impossi...." says the demon as it is struck down and fades away dissipating into a foul smelling green smoke.
Varn holds his next spell as he watches Tessai and Aeron obliterate the vrock. "By the gods, the two of you are a sight to see in battle." He quickly casts a simple cantrip to see if there are any magical auras in the area...
Also the altar radiates moderate necromancy and transmutation magic.
Korric was also surprised at how quickly the demon fell between just two of her allies. Putting her spear away, and taking note of the alter radiating Necromantic energy herself, she offers to be a bit more helpful in identifying what exactly has been cast on this alter.
Spellcraft:
You examine the altar and you cant determine it's exact purpose but it was most likely used as part of the ritual to change people into demons. It has restraints in place to hold a victim on it and the necromancy energy is designed to keep someone alive beyond what they could normally survive.
Tessai, Aeron and Orlando take more damage before the spores whither away.
The remaining demons quickly rout and flee paradise hills going towards the fortress. Paradise hill is taken.
After discovering the horrible nature of the altar before her, Korric stands up and relays this information to the rest of the group. After Tessai, Aeron and Orlando stop coughing up yellow spore clouds. "This alter has seen much blood spilled upon it. Countless rituals have been performed here to turn normal people into demons. And the energy radiating from it ensured they would not die during the process. It must be destroyed."
"Good work everyone. I think I need to lie down for a bit."
No treasure at this point no. You do however get around 50 troops added to you army as you free the prisoners.
You can level up to level 7 as well.
Looking into it the river is not very deep (5 feet deep) men can cross
altought slowly. Your troops can come across but the supply wagons cannot cross the bridge.
You set up camp on the south end of the river to protect the supply wagons were the materials to build the siege weapons are stored.
You get some rest during the night but you only get a few hours of sleep before you hear cries of alarms and ringing bells (The signal for enemy attack)
The camp is under attack by a large force of undead from the black dome to the west and by flying gargoyles that launch fireballs from their mouths.
Ok so assume you have about a minute to prepare for combat before it gets to you and let me know what you do and your status when it starts.
Orlando dons his chain shirt, swordbelt and crossbow.
"Once more into the breach dear friends!"
He inspires courage to allies: +1/+1
More out of habit than anything, Korric opted to sleep upright in her tent, spear and quarterstaff close at hand. It was when the cries and screams of other soldiers jolted her awake, as well as the sounds of explosions detonating all over the camp. Unable to clasp her breastplate on, she grabbed her quarterstaff and charged out of her tent, calling to any panicked soldiers, "Get archers firing on those monsters in the air! Keep staggered to avoid those fireballs!"
Hearing Orlando not far from her, she ran over to him and asked, "Orlando, does this army have spellcasters, or it is just foot soldiers?"
Running out with only his civvies and bow, Othello tries rally the archers with Plasas. "Archers! Fire on the gargoyles! I don't want a single thing alive after this is over!" He grabs a nearby solider and orders,"Get some clerics to the undead! We need to thin them out!"
There are already several archers targeting the four gargoyles but their arrows seems to be having very little effect.
The paladins are quite adept at destroying the undead however. It will take more than a horde of zombies and ghouls to break their line.
Varn grumbles angrily at his rest being disturbed and he heads out of his tents, fully ready for battle. Upon seeing the flying gargoyles he immediately targets one and lets loose with one of his few precious spells in hopes of quickly ending the flying threat... "Gather quickly! I have one last Haste spell I can cast, and then I am done. I will make this one worth the effort."
Tessai rouses as the sounds of alarm begin. She dons her breastplate hastily, and casts a protective spell against evil.
"On me!" - she shouts, moving to the front of the fray against the undead - Listen to Korric and stay abreast! Casters and archers on those flyers. Send them back to hell!" - the paladin reinforces her companion's words.
The battle seems like it will quickly be over the undead are being slices apart and have so far not claimed a single victim and while the gargoyles did a bit of damage they seems to be taking damage from the many arrows aimed their way and the paladins have started using their smite ability to bypass they damage reduction.
Suddenly a creature that was flying far above swoops down and crashes into the ground causing a small quake. The creature had been flying far above hidden from view until it found it's targets.
It goes first.
It unleashes a terrifying roar and launches a cone of freezing cold at you.
This breath weapon is enhanced from a normal chimera’s. It deals 6d8 cold damage and 2d8 piercing damage in a 40-foot cone of freezing wind and shards of jagged ice (Reflex DC 19 half)
Hitting Orlando, Aeron and Korric.
Here is your map:encounter map
You can all go and then it goes and then it goes again...Good luck! You get mythic tier 2 if you survive this battle.
"Ahhhh! Spread out, don't let the beast get us together.
