Eugeni Silva |
"He may have had a contingency in effect. I do not seem to recall all that much about liches at the moment, does anyone remember how to destroy them?" Eugeni is breathing slightly hard from the exertion of so much arcane energy in such a short time.
Jeevika Kailani |
Jeevika moves back to protect Zoli.
Spellcraft (GH, TtW): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 5 = 26
"Mr. Silva, did you recognize that spell? My spellcraft isn't as good as my daugher's..."
Mind rolling a Spellcraft or Knowledge (Arcana) to confirm what just happened?
Also, with Tears to Wine and Good Hope, you've got a +22 to Knowledge (Religion) right now. Knowledge (Religion) is used for undead.
Ryli Marwari |
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Plus 7 for Good Hope and Tears, that's a 36.
"It doesn't feel like a victory yet. We should continue to search."
Ryli uses her full senses, including her echolocation, to search for any way beyond this chamber.
Perception: 1d20 + 27 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 27 + 7 = 49
Eugeni Silva |
I rolled spellcraft on Roll20 and only beat the DC by 1, but that was without the +7 from good hope and tears to wine. Is that enough that I know how to destroy a lich, Thron?
Jeevika Kailani |
I meant the spell that was chained to the Contingency. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Jeevika Kailani |
What was the spell chained to Contingency?
DM Thron |
The roll Eugeni is referencing was actually a Knowledge (Religion) roll to ID liches. No Knowledge (Arcana) roll has been made (the required skill since it is a spell effect that was in place and no casting actually took place). But looking at his skill ranks, with those bonuses he will auto-succeed, and know it was a Contingencied Dimension Door.
Eugeni Silva |
Eugeni confirms, "It was a contingency, dimension door if I am not mistaken. He did not go far."
"Jeevika, can you do something for Zoli?"
Ryli Marwari |
"Yes, do that quickly," Ryli says as she swiftly turns back into her centaur form. She trots over to the trapdoor. "This might be the direction he went."
Jeevika Kailani |
"I will prepare Dimension Anchor for our next venture. These games of teleport tag are getting ridiculous," Jeevika comments dryly as she casts the universal panacea known as Heal on Zoli.
Casting Heal on Zoli.
Jeevika Kailani |
Jeevika helps Zoli stand.
"Azaven's monster lasted all of twelve seconds, and for all his ego, he just fled like a coward. Time to end this nonsense."
Jeevika walks over to the trap door and inspects it for danger via mundane perception and Detect Magic.
Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37
If there are no signs of danger, she opens it. If the door is locked, Jeevika destroys the lock with her adamantine sword.
Zoli Tileani |
Zoli groans and rubs the back of her fist over her eyes. "Thanks, Jeeves!
"What do we know about liches? Anything in particular to be prepared for, other than a nasty caster and more undead monstrosities?"
She looks overunder Jeevika's shoulder to see if can tell if it's a trapped trap door, or a trapless trap door.
Aid Perception: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (10) + 25 = 35
Jeevika Kailani |
"The door is fine, but there's some sort of purple energy behind it. Knowing the undead and given my experiences channeling its positive counterpart, it is likely negative energy. Luckily, we have Death Ward... except for Lion. Zoli, I would relocate him somewhere safe. Given his current state, I doubt that he will weather any negative energy barrage very well."
Once everyone is ready, Jeevika opens the door.
Ryli Marwari |
"I've learned that you don't use lightning against liches," Ryli answers Zoli.
Again uncertain if her centaur's body will fit down the mystery trap door, she concentrates for a moment. Her form shrinks down to a young human woman of Tian ancestry.
"Ready," Rai Li says.
Eugeni Silva |
"We need to find whatever he is using as a phylactery and destroy it. Otherwise he will just keep coming back."
Ryli Marwari |
A thought strikes Rai Li and she looks troubled. "His dimension door wouldn't be powerful enough to take him to the Hall of Wrath, would it?" she asks in Taldane.
Zoli Tileani |
Zoli nods at Jeevika's suggestion. She pets lion twice and then softly tucks him into her familiar satchel.
Then she steps back as Jeevika opens the door.
Jeevika Kailani |
"Anything down there? Maybe we should use your Greater Black Tentacles to check?" Jeevika whispers mischievously to Ryli in Sylvan.
Ryli Marwari |
"Four humanoid figures," Ryli whispers. Then at Jeevika's suggestion, she smiles and nods. She quickly chants, targeting the circular chamber as ground zero to summon the massive ancient roots that erupt from the floor, grasping and grabbing anything evil.
CMB: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36
Damage: 4d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 4) + 13 = 22
Eugeni Silva |
Eugeni flies over to Jeevika. "Pardon, is there any chance you could heal me? I am unaccustomed to being injured in this body. I find it is most unpleasant."
Jeevika Kailani |
"Of course, Mr. Silva," Jeevika says as she takes a moment to cure Eugeni's injuries.
How much HP does Eugeni have left? Roll20 shows him as almost dead, but his health bar shows a relatively healthy 81/110 HP.
If Roll20 is correct, he gets Jeevika's second Heal. If he has 81 HP left, then I'll exchange Align Weapon for Cure Moderate Wounds.
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 2) + 10 = 19
Eugeni Silva |
Unless I missed damage somewhere, I should have it all recorded. I probably missed something.
"Thank you." Eugeni sighs in relief.
Jeevika Kailani |
No. My intention was to put Jeevika near where I thought the door was since she was opening it.
Jeevika Kailani |
An audible snap echoes throughout the chamber, and Jeevika leaps into the hidden chamber. If she is somehow unable to see Azaven, she casts Invisibility Purge. Otherwise, she casts Smite Abomination with the lich as her designated target.
Defensive Casting - DC 25: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31
Jeevika utters no retorts. She says no witty one-liners. Jeevika simply raises her blade and gets ready to obliterate Azaven.
Ryli Marwari |
Ryli casts her remaining sunbeam and then drops down through the opening, allowing her ring of feather fall to activate and allow her to land softly in the next chamber.
If her echolocation detects any unseen enemies, she announces their location.
Jeevika Kailani |
Forgot to mention it in her post, but Jeevika has Air Walk active. She leapt in the sense that she leapt into action.
DM Thron |
As you drop into the sub-level, you all have a hard time seeing anything for the black tendrils and fog that has arisen in the room. However, more words of magic can be heard, but he curses as the spell fails. He quickly begins canting another spell, but loses it as well in his hurry!
Then, hundreds of tiny, ear piercing shrieks can be heard as hundreds of small purple beams lash out from seemingly everywhere and fill the room!

You are up! Been busy with work, baby, and holidays. Sorry for the slowed updates. Takes me a long time to backtrack through posts to find buffs not listed on aliases, look up abilities, and other mechanics. I appreciate any help y’all can give to help in that regard.
Ryli Marwari |
Thron, that's fine. Ive been struggling with computer issues myself.
Ryli moves in the room to position herself where none of her allies will be in the path of the beam of sunlight that she unleashes upon the undead spellcaster.
"Taunting us by reminding us of your atrocity? That is not smart," she says softly.
Sunbeam, Reflex DC 24: 12d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 2, 6, 3, 5) = 48
Jeevika Kailani |
All my relevant buffs are always listed in my profile. I always adjust my stats to account for them too.
Jeevika's blade erupts with divine energy.
"She got her tenacity from me."
Despite her fury, Jeevika takes care with her ensuing rain of attacks.
She wants each one to hurt.
Full-round attack on Azaven. Since she wants every attack to hit, Jeeves does not power attack. Channel Smite as a swift action for the first attack. Thanks to Smite Abomination, Azaven's DR does not apply to any of these attacks.

Eugeni Silva |
Eugeni targets Azaven with a dispel magic.
Using a targeted dispel, with a arcane point to boost my CL.
Dispel check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Then he does it again.
Quickened targeted dispel, with arcane point to boost CL.
Dispel check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Jeevika Kailani |
Jeevika growls in rage as a simple parlor trick interrupts her attacks.
"Stay your hand, Zoli! He's my kill. Setsuna was my daughter! This monster took her from me!" Jeevika hisses angrily as she raises her sword again for more brutal attacks. "And I'm going to make him suffer."
Purely an in-character request, gyr. If you want to smoke Azaven, be my guest.
Zoli Tileani |
"Hey, she was my friend too--she's saved my life before!
"But family does come first. I'll do my best to just soften him up for ya."

DM Thron |
Zoli moves up and lashes out at Azaven, and under her wrathful vengeance, he falters! His body stiffens and begins to glow a sickly green and hideous purple, before a flash of the same colors bursts from him! As the light dissipates, his body is gone, his belongings crumpled in a pile on the floor.
Combat Over!
Jeevika Kailani |
After Azaven "dies" before she gets her chance to deal the killing blow, Jeevika pauses and enters a seemingly meditative state for a few seconds.
"We need to make sure that he stays dead. Find his... phylactery was it? And destroy it," she states calmly. "Let's start with this room. Given its secret location, I feel like he might be trying to hide something in here. Also look for his spellbooks. We should burn those to minimize his power in case we somehow miss his phylactery."
Jeevika will search for Azaven's phylactery and spellbooks. What do I need to roll? Is there any concrete way to identify a phylactery?
Jeevika Kailani |
"...That Quill Setsu was carrying. It could tell us, couldn't it?"
Jeevika promptly searches for crypts for any traces of the Revelation Quill and Setsuna's gear.
Setsuna was carrying a lot of the group's gear. She had Theo's old Handy Haversack and Bag of Holding I, which both probably contained a lot of stuff.
Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
