GGAAAAHHH!! DEATH BY BEES!? THIS SUCKS!!

Down 102 damage! Looking like he’s about to fall over...

[dice=Attack]d20+8+2+3+2 [dice=Damage]2d6+3+2+3+2d+2d6

The Cardinal strikes again, Dies Irae shining with cold and purposeful light as the Archangel's blessing empowers it against his hated devilish foes!

Current AC 21

Dies Irae carves another deep gash in the diabolical flesh! The devil seems almost staggered by the amount of damage that has been dealt to it by holy and good blades!

NNNOOOOOO!!! THEY’RE GONNA KILL MEEEE!!!

Minus 127 damage!

POSITIONS

Sei tu l'assassino che ha ucciso Faithcarcass e Maggotwing? the unwounded devil queries, eyes wide as he watches the Crusaders mowing down his partner...

will save 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
will save 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Johann takes two big blows (30 damage total), and his eyes open wide. These foes are beyond us...It is no use to resist. I must run!

He full withdrawals, moving an impressive 80 feet away from the fight.

I am feared for 2 rounds, having beaten the second fear effect which would have been for 4 rounds!

HP: 68/98

"Si, diabolo!" The Cardinal replies shortly.

Pre-battle buffing
Boga pulls his Rod of Reach and starts to speak in almost a singing voice, "O Lord, bind me to your mighty servant Zagathoth as he fights your enemies!" The rings on Boga's and Zagathoth's fingers briefly glow as the pain of battle will be shared between them.

Cast Shield Other: Split Damage, +1 Deflection to AC, +1 Resistance to saves

Round 1

Religion: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 Would Boga know if the fear could be prevented by Protection from Evil? Anything else he would know about these devils?

Boga voice once again rings out, "Savior! Protect Johann with thy shield!"

+2 Sacred to AC for Johann. Don't know if that would alter the outcome of the attacks...

Boga moves toward the battle, to be ready to assist in way he can.

Move within 25', Blessing, Snake
Snake AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Round 2

Conditions: Shield Other | Snake
Snake AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

As Johann rushes back, Boga sees the fear in his eyes, and commands his pack to provide what is needed. "The scroll against fear!" Boga grabs the scroll and reads it in a comforting, almost melodious, chant. "Noli timere: exaudivit Dominus te protegit."

Johann is still hit both times despite the AC boost, but thanks for trying! How does the timing of the remove fear scroll work? Do I make it all 80 feet away?

You got hit in Round 1, so your withdrawal would be round 2, right? Boga acts before you in initiative (it's a miracle!), so if Boga would know that you had the fear condition, he would use the scroll prior to your withdrawal

If MJ agrees with that assessment, then Johann spends his turn instead of running doing the following!

Johann comes to right before he is about to sprint away. No! It is a lie. We can beat them! We will beat them!

And then he full attacks... likely getting a powerful claw (and a 28 to grapple) and bite in, but missing on his second claw.

Round 2
The Fox attempts to blast the wounded devil with electricity from range!
Swift action to activate Arcane Strike for +2 damage, standard action for the attack.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Electric Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

I feel I must point out that the barbed devil's very first claw attack was a natural 20--but MJ has not rolled to confirm the critical threat or add additional damage for it.

Will (rage): 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
Will (rage): 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 = 21

Full of hate and rage, Zagathoth shakes off the fear the devils try to instill and continues to hack at them...
attack1: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 25, for: 2d4 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 23
attack2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 24, for: 2d4 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 24
injured one first...

just went back and added up my damage taken... looks like 24, so 12 each to me and Boga

After Boga:

The barbed devils release the witch, who immediately pulls out a scroll and unravels it!

They are currently squeezing the witch between them in the 10-foot-wide corridor, making effective attacks less effective...
Claw 1d20+18 against JOHANN, dealing 2d8+6 slashing damage plus Will DC 20 fear for 1d4 rounds... Claw 1d20+18 against ZAGATHOTH [deals 2d8+6 slashing damage plus Will DC 20 fear for 1d4 rounds...

Confirm on Johann 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 crits for another 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14 damage!

Round 2

The Fox attempts to blast the wounded devil with electricity from range!
Swift action to activate Arcane Strike for +2 damage, standard action for the attack.
[dice=Ranged Touch]1d20+9
[dice=Electric Damage]1d6+1+2

I feel I must point out that the barbed devil's very first claw attack was a natural 20--but MJ has not rolled to confirm the critical threat or add additional damage for it.

Fox blasts the wounded devil and it sways, groaning, on the verge of being staggered!

Only 2 hp left!!

If MJ agrees with that assessment, then Johann spends his turn instead of running doing the following!

Johann comes to right before he is about to sprint away. No! It is a lie. We can beat them! We will beat them!

And then he full attacks... likely getting a powerful claw (and a 28 to grapple) and bite in, but missing on his second claw.

** spoiler omitted **

Encouraged by Boga’s spell, Johann tears down the wounded devil with his first mighty swipe, misses the second devil with his other claw, but chomps down on its leg with his bite!

GGRRAAAARRRGGGHH!!!

YYYOOOOOWWWWCH!!!

1 devil down, 1 bitten for 13 damage!

[dice=Will (rage)]1d20+9+1

[dice=Will (rage)]1d20+9+1

Full of hate and rage, Zagathoth shakes off the fear the devils try to instill and continues to hack at them...
[dice=attack1]1d20+12+2+1, [dice=for]2d4+16+2+1
[dice=attack2]1d20+7+2+1, [dice=for]2d4+16+2+1
injured one first...

The wounded one is ripped to shreds by Johann’s claw swipe, so Zagathoth swings away at the other, but it dodges both strikes with unearthly agility!

A look of relief and exultation on her beautiful face, the disowned and excommunicated D’Sforza witch carefully backs five feet away from the remaining devil and the Cardinal, Zagathoth, and Johann, and reads the scroll of teleport, escaping to her tower on Mount Vesuvius for now!

I believe her backing up requires a reflex save vs grease (and probably still provokes from the devil)?

Concentration vs DC 25 to cast defensively off scroll 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 fails! The spell fizzles! Lucrezia does NOT escape...yet...

Dammit!! Dammit!! Dammit!! It’s materia transplasia, not materia transporta, you dumb witch! LUCIFER’S B&*!@%*S!!

Concentration vs DC 23 to defensively use SLA 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Summons another barbed devil on 01-35 of percentile dice...1d100 ⇒ 20 succeeds!

The other barbed devil is flustered by the proximity of the daunting Crusaders, and fizzles its attempt to summon another barbed devil to the fight!

PORCUPINEO!! PORCUPINEO!! PORCUPINEO!! shouts the barbed devil, but the barbed devil Porcupineo does not answer the summons...

Lucius closes onto the battle between devil and bear, wielding his sword and flanking the devil. "Stop the witch!" He bellows to Fox, Boga and Quinlan as the melee fighters close in on their second foe.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 26 Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 + 3 + 2 + (3, 5) + (4, 3) = 32

Use Determination for either Warning or Defense, depending on who the devil attacks.

Dies Irae carves into devil flesh with a searing sound that almost sounds like a chorus of angels singing!

Round 3

Conditions: 62HP | Shield Other | Snake
Snake AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Boga remains close to the battle and calls for a blessing, "Guide Johann's strikes with thy sight."

+2 Sacred to Attack for Johann, move to NW corner of battle

"Orpheus: we're going to distract the witch as best we can so that she is not able to make an escape. Got it?"

Without waiting for an answer, the Ogon Fox begins to shift, his body shrinking into the shape of a little, natural-looking fox--a shape you all have seen before. He then moves between and beneath the feat of allies and devil alike to get up close to the witch, or close to her shins, anyway.

Standard action to change shape, move action to move (speed is 40ft instead of 30 in this shape). I'm not totally sure how tight everyone's positioning is--but I probably move through a square (or more than one) threatened by the barbed devil, which provokes an attack of opportunity. I also provoke an attack of opportunity from the witch when I enter her square (I have to enter her square to threaten her, since tiny creatures have not even 5ft reach). My AC in this shape is 19 (18 touch, 13 flat-footed).

I'd like Orpheus to fly to the witch and attempt a dirty trick combat maneuver to inflict the blinded condition on her (only lasts 1 round if successful, and she can also end it with a move action on her turn). He should be able to fly in such a way as to avoid any attack of opportunity from the barbed devil, I think, but he won't be able to avoid one from the witch for entering her square and another for attempting the maneuver without having the Improved Dirty Trick feat. His CMB for the check should be 5 BAB + 2 DEX - 2 size = 5. If he beats her CMD by 5, the condition lasts another round, although she still is able to remove it early with a move action. Orpheus' AC is 19 (16 touch, 17 flat-footed) and he has 30hp.

AoO on Fox as he passes by... Claw 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19 is a critical miss!

Swiping at the little Fox as it darts by, the devil misses and nearly falls over trying to scoop up the swift kitsune!

As she is currently unarmed, Striga Lucrezia can only scream in rage and bat at the thrush flying at her eyes!

CMB 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 fails! Lucrezia isn’t blinded, just annoyed!

Are we officially onto round 3?

Are we officially onto round 3?

I believe so...?

Sorry if I jumped ahead. I've been a terrible poster lately and didn't want to hold things up.

No worries, Brother Boga

Another flight of amber hornets fly from the tiefling wizard’s wand to sting the remaining devil, dealing 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 3 = 10 force damage!

Another flight of amber hornets fly from the tiefling wizard’s wand to sting the remaining devil, dealing 3d4+3 force damage!

Blasted wasps! Ouch!!

Lucius throws a glance towards the witch, wanting to deal with the infamous Striga Lucrezia, but tactician enough to realise that the Barbed Devil is currently the greater threat.

He sidesteps again to pin it between Zagathoth and himself for striking once more!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 37 Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + (6, 5) + (5, 5) = 37
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 23
Use Determination to reroll the confirmation.
Crit Reroll?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 26 Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 14

And if that confirms its 51 damage and a fort save from the devil against massive damage from a single blow :)

The devil screams in fearful agony as Cardinal Lucius cleaves a wide rift in its barbed hide!

NNOOOOOOOO!!! I PERISH!!

Down to double digits hp...

The final devil succumbs to the deadly wound dealt by Dies Irae, which no fiend can withstand. It’s lifeless forms crumples to the limestone floor...

Flapping wildly around the witch’s head to distract her from spellcasting, Orpheus chirps, You’re not going anywhere, missy!

The Cardinal whirls around and levels his greatsword at the witch. "Surrender, Striga and His Holiness may show you leniency! Johann! Hold her!"

[ooc]If she starts trying something Lucius will attempt to cast Silence on himself and foil her spellcasting! Whether it will work is another matter!

Bluff 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

In English: Oh! Thank God! Praise the Lord!! You’ve saved me from these wretched devil-worshippers! I thought I was doomed to be a sacrifice to their evil demons and devils!

Striga? You are mistaken, Your Grace, I am no witch...

Johann doesn't know what to do. The boss is saying to hold her, but she just looks and sounds like a frail old lady.

wisdom check dc 15?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Confused, he just sits on his haunches and looks at Lucius with his head tilted.

"Grrr..rawrr... grrr.grrrr...rawr? Zag, why does his Grace want me to wrestle an old lady?

[dice=wisdom check dc 15?]d20+4

Confused, he just sits on his haunches and looks at Lucius with his head tilted.

"Grrr..rawrr... grrr.grrrr...rawr? Zag, why does his Grace want me to wrestle an old lady?

Striga Lucrezia is actually only in her late twenties, so she's not really an old lady. Sorry I did not adequately describe her at first...

The woman the devils had been dragging along now stands before you. She is tall for a woman, at nearly six feet, Italian, with long brown hair braided and clasped with jeweled copper clips, garbed in green and russet dress. Her feet are bare, and she wears a silver necklace with an odd eye-shaped gem depending from it, and a gold ring on her left hand. A haversack is strapped on her back, with a birchwood broom slung to the side of it and wrapped at the end with a bindle. She smiles with obvious relief at being rescued, her brown eyes glistening with tears...

Thank you for saving me! I'm Medea of House Sforza. My family must be anxious, wondering what has happened to me... I am certain they will reward you handsomely for freeing me!

"It does not matter why," Zagathoth answers the bear, "you always obey priests and nuns, its one of the rules..." As he speaks, he shifts towards the woman and raises doomcresent menacingly. readying an action to attack if she moves, or tries to cast anything, or Lucius says to attack...
