The wardstone of Kenabres has been broken and the demons of the worlwound are loose! How will this crisis be contained?

Houserules:

Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.

Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.

if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.

Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.

Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...

Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?

Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).

Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Looking into it spell that target the host body SR would not come into play but spells that target the mind (like suggestions) SR applies. IMO would be pretty funny for someone to use suggestion to ask the demon to leave the host and have it work

Alright so Varn didn't need to roll SR on this so you get that MP back and successfully dispel the possession of the demon forcing him out.

Tessai fails to climb up (dc is 20). Takes a bit of damage from spikes spike damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 1 damage dealt.

Tzad can change his action.

Is there any way to know where the Shadow Demon might have gone? And what happens to the host body as the demon leaves? I am assuming that we know that the demon has been forced out... right? If so...

Tzadkiel immediately casts Magic Circle Against Evil 10'r on Lith. The Azteka then flies to the Paladin speaking to him in true speach. I am Lith, agent of Milani and I would help protect you for a time if you will have me.

Unsure of where the shadow demon's sour jar actually is Tzadkiel moves to protect his friends. His goal is to make sure all his allies have some protection from evil on them.

If the shadow demon can use these crystal things as its soul jar then its likely we can never get it out and retreat with the paladin is the best option. Would be nice to find the things body but it may not even be in this room. Thoughts?


In this case I am treating it more like the spell possesion, greater than magic jar as it is more accurate so the demon simply pops out in the space next to the host. As a note when an incorporeal creature uses magic jar he doesn't leave a body behind he simply vanishes into the creature.

OK. Action is the same. So we now see the shadow demon standing beside the Paladin. Paladin is wounded and the shadow demon is not, right? If you don't have Protection from Evil up, you better be within 10' of Tzad or Lith. Also how does the Shadow Demon react to the bright light from Tzadkiel's spell?


That is correct yes. He is unharmed by it but it prevents him from becoming invisible as a move action

Hurray for Varn ingenuity! Also, I agree with you conclusion on how the SR would interact with the shadow demon. I also agree that Possession definitely fits the shadow demon better than Magic Jar.

Yes, well done Varn. I am quite happy that the demon is not using those crystals as magic jars. lol. Is the ex-host now our best friend? He was armed. will he now begin to attack the demon?

Wait, is the shadow incorporeal? Now that I've seen the real casters take on its SR, Tessai doesn't have much of a shot beating it, but she did pack Ghostbane Dirge.

Tessai grits her teeth and tries to climb out of the pit again.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Yes shadow demon is incorporeal and has DR/cold iron and good and epic

Do we have an epic weapon? Maybe Tess's sword? Others? You need magic to harm incorporeal so might as well add that to the "and" stream. And cold iron is difficult/expensive to enchant too. So its hard to bypass the DR even without the epic part.

The 50% damage reduction from being incorporeal is the real issue. Aeron can bypass the DR by blowing a mythic point, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Likely never gonna get Ghostbane to stick with a paladin's caster level. Even a nat 20 would not bypass SR. Anyone have a ghost touch weapon?

Praying to Cayden Cailean, he carefully rubbed it into the blade of his enchanted cold iron rapier...

Did everyone act?


Tessai will need to use her scale on the next turn.

Othello moves up next to Tzad and fires several arrows at the demon to little effect.

The shadow demon seem mighty angry.

"Insolent mortals! You dare! Just die already!"

He steps back from Aeron and the freed paladin and gathers up an immense amount of power is his hand as a sphere of ice and shadows forms. He launches it right at Tzad. At the last moment Othello moves in the way taking the orb right to the chest. It explodes unleashing it's energy throughout the whole room.

84 cold damage hitting the whole room. Dc 24 will save (take 60% damage if you make it) and reflex dc 24 for half.

Othello is frozen solid and the blast of frost finishes off the wounded paladin.

Being in the pit Tessai is not entirely safe from the blast but will automatically take half.

His most powerful attack that he can only do once a day

Your go again.

Grr. Lost the Resist Cold Communal with that Greater Dispel Magic.

Will Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Relfex Save: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 1 = 16

Caught off guard Tzadkiel takes the full 84 damage. He also takes 5 damage from each of his 4 living allies at the start of his turn which heals anyone not dead by 5 but knock him down to -8. This triggers his contingent channel.

Channel: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 4, 6, 2, 6, 6) + 1 = 36

This brings up an issue for Tzad. He could use a mythic point to cast Breath of Life for Othello who he can reach even prone but I know Othello is leaving the game and there is no real game mechanic for him to jump into the way of the attack. So instead Tzad will channel again, twice. The move action channel costs him a mythic point.

Channel: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 6, 1, 5) + 1 = 23

Channel: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1) + 1 = 32

This is 96 points of healing to all Tzad's allies. He can not do this again so lets take the shadow demon down. Tzad is at 83.

Note that this renews Beacon of Hope (9 rounds) +2 morale bonus to attacks, saves, skills, ability checks for those healed by your channel.

Lith
Will Save, Lith: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Relfex Save Lith: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22

Lith takes 60% of the damage and take 40 after her racial resist 10 cold. After the channels she is back at full.

Varn gasps as the freezing cold magic saps his energy and he stumbles as he nearly falls to his knees; however, suddenly he feels a rush of powerful healing flood through his body! He grins at Tzad, but his glee is dispelled when he notices the frozen form of Othello... "You cannot stop us, demon! Prepare to be sent back to the Abyss!" He sends five (5) magic missiles streaking across the room and each of them impacts into the shadowy form of the demon!

SR Check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Mythic Magic Missile: 10d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3, 4) + 5 = 27

Aeron disbelieves and dodges most of the nasty demon's nasty magic and steps up, swinging for the fences:

Attack(vital strike): 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 25

He dropped to his knees in nearly frozen agony, then is filled with ecstasy as Tzad's channel healed him to full again.

Focusing back on the demon he snarled "That was your last gasp demon."
Quick as a flash, Orlando charged across the floor to slam his rapier through its ribs.

Will, DC 24: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Ref, DC 24: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 So, half of 60% of half of 84 is... 12.6, so 13 dmg. She's fully healed after Tzad's double channel.

Concentrating on her own situation, Tessai misses Othello's death but doesn't miss the powerful cold attack. She shivers and glares up at the shadow demon. "I hate the cold. Demon, you'll be back in the Abyss in a few minutes!" Giving up on trying to climb out of the pit, she reaches into her pack to pull out the silver dragon scale to levitate herself out.

Move action to retrieve the scale, standard to use it. That's all her actions this round.


The magic missiles strike the demon dealing good damage.

Aeron misses his first strike but connect with the second.

For Orlando both his swings miss. (the second would have hit if not a natural 1 since his flat footed is quite low)

The shadow demon has roughly 60% of his hp remaining.

He seems shocked to see you still standing
"Impossible...Damm you!" he screams and then charges Tzad using his claws and bite to fiercely attack him. (he has pounce so can make full atk on charge) provokes an attack for Aeron and Orlando however.
claw: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 322d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 2) + (4) = 11
claw: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 282d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3) + (6) = 15
bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 272d10 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + (1) = 5

His attacks deal negative energy+cold damage.

Tzadkiel regards the demon calmly. Vile one I do not fear you as I do not fight against you alone. Standing with me are staunch allies and also my goddess and lady Milani. How can you hope to defeat me?

Using two spell slots Tzadkiel casts a swift Cure Moderate Wounds spell on himself with his Combat Healer ability.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7, 3) + 9 + 1 = 20 Swift so does not provoke.

He then steps back and casts a mythic Cure Serious wounds on himself.

Right you are. I did catch that afterwards that I'd discounted the crit but not the precision. How much of that damage is precision damage Orlando?

The AoO had 8 precision.
The charge attack had 16 precision.
The Mythic Surprise Strike had 16 precision.
Looks like I wasted all my Panache...

You might have realized the precision was not going through with the first attack and not used it further...

Well, I was pretty mad at rolling all those ones and twos...;)


I'm back lets finish this!

The shadow demon roars in anger and unleashes a powerful explosion of frost energy hitting all those around him. Shadow evocation Detonate (cold) cold damage: 10d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 8, 6, 7, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4) = 56 Will dc 21 for 20% damage and reflex dc 21 for half

Your go again.

Will DC 21: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 3 + 1 = 16
Ref DC 21: 1d20 + 9 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 3 + 1 = 17 Seriously? Sometimes I think this die roller legitimately hates me. Not even going to waste a roll on the Concentration check as I literally cannot come even close to the DC.

Varn reels as the explosion of cold energy washes over him and the celestial portal he was opening shimmers briefly before winking out of existence. Frost coats his body as he works to cast one of his last offensive spell that would likely be effective against the demon! Five more magical bolts streak out of his hands and slam into the shadow demon's form!

SR Check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 2, 4) + 5 = 19

Will Save: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 19 Failed another easy Will Save. Only needed a 4

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 32

Tzad takes 28 from the shadowy cold blast and then more from his life links from his living companions (3 *5 I believe) and then more from the Shield Other on Aeron. He channels in response. The smile on his face is beatific as the positive energy washes over him and his allies.

Channel Positive to Heal: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 6, 6, 3, 5, 4) + 1 = 38 A damn good channel!

Please do not forget the +2 Resistance bonus and the +2 Morale bonus to all saves and the +1 Haste bonus to reflex Saves. Of course those bonuses will not stack with similar typed bonuses you might already have. Will have to do the math after I see Aeron's damage. But everyone gets 43 points of healing. Aeron gets more if he needs it. The 5 from Life link happen before Tzad can channel so no way(other than to drop people) he can avoid that damage even if the channel over heals his allies.

I did forget the Haste and Morale bonuses... unfortunately I'm still just 1 point shy of making the Ref save.

So you are only down 13 points for the round. You gave better than you got. :) can channel twice more I think so we better end this soon!

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25
ref save: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 21 Thanks for the reminder about the save bonuses Tzad.
So 20% is 11 and 1/2 for a total of 6, all of which will end up with Tzad

Aeron keeps unsatisfactorily swiping his blade through the wispy thing.

Vital strike: 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 26 +2 if flanking with Tessai
Damage?: 4d4 + 64 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3) + 64 = 74

Use my last mythic point for another standard:
Vital strike: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 37 +2 if flanking with Tessai
Damage?: 4d4 + 64 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 2) + 64 = 77


Flanking with Tzad not Tessai but yes you flank.

Landing both hits. The shadow demon is destroyed.

As the weapon tears into he roars in defiance but evaporates into wisps of black smoke.

In the back of the room your ultimate objective the legendary banner is there on the altar.

Thanks be to Milani! Tzadkiel exclaims in relief as the creature dissipates. He then moves to Othello's side and examines his ally's body. But the cost was too high. Othello is lost to us. The oracle looks up at the group and there are tears in his eyes. I have failed him.

He believed the spell, but dodged half of it and was healed of all of it by Tzad's channel.

Too late to bring the shadow demon down, Orlando spun around freely after passing his sword through where it had been a moment ago.
Breathing heavily, he looked around for more threats.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
His eyes fell on his fallen companion.
"Othello?" He asked aloud.

Tessai finally frees herself from the 'pit' to find the demon destroyed and Othello dead. She angrily shakes her head. "I would damn the demon to Hell but it's already back in the Abyss." She turns to take the Banner down. "This thing better be worth the cost."

Varn nods to his companions and then finally turns to see what's left of their companion, Othello. He approaches and looks over the frozen human before turning to Tzad. "Is there anything to be done, Tzad? Or have we lost yet another to the never-ending war against the Abyss?"


The Banner is all folded up on the altar. When Tessai touches it she senses a feeling of joy and satisfaction from radiance. The two artifacts seems to radiate together and Tessai senses that radiance has grown in power a little.

The sword urges Tessai to hold up the Banner and she does and when it unfolds it unleashes a burst of holy power. Every Demon left in Drezen is sent back to the abyss and every evil magic spell in the citadel is dispelled.

With this the citadel is fully secured. Your troops enter and search it room by room making sure it's all secure and no demons or evil soldiers remain. They have either been slain, been banished or have fled.

Bring his body. There are those in camp that are stronger in their faith than I. At the least his body can be preserved so that I might restore life to him at a later time if Milani ever grants me that power.

When we level up Tzad will be able to raise dead. Of course Othello may refuse to come back. If not he will come back and likely leave for some reason. But Tzad is gonna make sure he is raised if it can be done.


Actually yes you all level and gain a mythic rank as well and the highest level cleric in camp is level 6 so not really Tzad your the strongest priest around.
