Wrath of the Hellknights (Gestalt, Mythic, Wrath of the Righteous) (Inactive)

Game Master Thackery Baxter J Thorington

Giosue stepped into the building and trained his crossbow on D'hara's foe. He pondered the sacred lines of law between his weapon and his target, then fired.

Shooty: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Giosue steps into the building and trains his crossbow on D'hara's foe. He ponders the sacred lines of law between his weapon and his target, then fires. But, chaos swarms about the abyssal-creature, his bolt flies wide, carried by an errant wind.

In the room, Hellstrider drives her lance at the same tiefling. But, her lance, too, is diverted by that same entropic wind!

The tieflings stab at D'hara and Ezechias: shadow-cloaked fiends lashing out like cowards from the darkness. But, their traitorous blades cut only air, and the armigers are left unharmed, protected by their iron discipline!

Darsanga, D'hara, Iavdi, Kevroth UP!
end Round 3 Start Round 4

Kevroth silently attacks the blurry tiefling, slashing with dueling blade and kukri.

Dueling blade attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10.
Pretty sure that won't hit...

Kukri attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24, critical threat!
Confirmation: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13.
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 40.
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (2) + 1 + 1 = 7.
Critical damage if confirmed: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4.

I'm sorry, when was my turn? It seems to be I haven't had a chance to act in ages. Thanks!

That's because I totally skipped it, AGAIN.

You may go now.. GAH....I totally suck

Dipping low, D'hara slipped to her left and swung her leg low at the tiefling's knees. The tiefling easily hopped over the obvious attack and D'hara quickly stood up, bringing her elbow up at the tiefling's chin. A sneer on her own face, the corners of her mouth turned up as she was sure the blow would strike true this time. Shadows be damned, she was going to pummel something soon.

Unarmed Strike, flurry: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

AC: 21

No worries, GM!

Ezechias focuses his full attention on the tiefling, clearly considering him to be the biggest threat. The paladin's curved blade arcs through the air to tear flesh and bone, though the wound remains superficial.
Mwk Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

At the side, away from the larger fray, D'hara faces off with her foe. Dipping low, the monk slips to her left and swings her leg low at the tiefling's knees. The tiefling easily hops over the obvious attack and D'hara quickly stands up, bringing her elbow up at the tiefling's chin. A sneer on her own face, the corners of her mouth turn up as she is sure the blow will strike true this time. Shadows be damned, she is going to pummel something soon! Sure enough, she feels demon-blooded bone shatter from the diving force of her knee!

and I just realized that i don't have Iavdi's post.. because I totally jumped all sorts ofr guns. So, he gets to go and then i'll post the guard's action.

Iavdi actually up!

Darsanga calls upon his faith once more and green flame erupts from Hellstrider's wounds, healing her flesh once more.
cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Iavdi swings his glaive at the soldier, calling upon his reserves of discipline and duty.
glaive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
The blow strikes true, but the traitor's armor turns the blade aside!

The traitor wheels and turns on Ezechias.
longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
His blade strikes true and cuts the Paladin deep in the leg!

Giosue and Hellstrider UP!

hellstrider? Giosue ?

It was disobedient for the crossbow to take so long to reload. Time was of the essence and passing with every breath. But Giosue dare not invoke the higher law again. He had spent it too freely already.

Reload crossbow

Hellstrider growls as she one again tries to end the last of the traitors

Hellstrider growls as she one again tries to end the last of the traitors. Her lance runs the soldier through, but still the coward stands! To her side, Giosue calmly reloads his crossbow.

Chaleb scrubs at his face, wiping away Giosue's conjured mud. He sneers at the armigers, and readies his weapon.

"Fools! The writing's on the wall! The end is here, the Abyss has already won!"

Ezechias (For REAL) and Darsanga up.

Sorry i was so late, life seriously kicked me in the teeth

Ezechias, wounded by the vile-souled man, aims another blow at the man's chest. However, the blade slices through the air instead ofits intended target.

Mwk Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Darsanga once more calls upon the power of his faith in the Godclaw, filling Ezechias with hellfire. Flames burst from the paladin's wounds, as ruined flesh is burned away and replaced by new skin.
cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The tiefling laughs with the crusader and strikes out at D'ahara once more. The blade strikes true, and cuts deep into her side, spilling her life on the stone floor. She still yet clings to this mortal coil, her training is too strong for that, but she knows she is not long for this world!

END round. D'hara, Iavdi, Kevroth UP

Blur only provides the target with a 20% miss chance. I am not denied my dexterity bonus due to his concealment nor am I flanked so sneak attack should not apply.

Sneak Attack: The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target.

Feeling desperate for the first time in a long time, D'hara released her fury. She continued to slip to her left as she danced forcing the tiefling between her and Hellstrider's lance. With a guttural growl she let fly hammer fist after hammer fist.

Unarmed Strike, flurry, flank, stunning fist: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
Bashing, lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Unarmed Strike, flurry, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
Bashing, lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If a 16 hits and the miss chance doesn't cause it to miss, he needs to make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. A stunned character drops everything held, can’t take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC.

Kevroth closes in on the last soldier, his blades flashing.

Flanking, two-weapon fighting, divine favor
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 21.
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + (3) = 10.
Kukri: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 10.
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + (2) = 6.

Iavdi?

Iavdi will simply swing out at the soldier nearest him once again, almost mindlessly accomplishing his task.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Feeling desperate for the first time in a long time, D'hara releases her fury. She continues to slip to her left as she dances forcing the tiefling between her and Hellstrider's lance. With a guttural growl she lets fly hammer fist after hammer fist.

Iavdi swings his glaive, heeding his training. The blade catches the guard in the neck, laying open his veins and spraying blood across Hellstrider's fur.

Eveyrone up, then Chaleb. End him now.

Kevroth moves around Chaleb, trying to dodge past the man's defense.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25.

He then readies himself to strike when his allies close in.

Drawing her whip as she moved through the fallen library, D'hara lashed out at Chaleb's feet. As the whip ensnared the man's legs, she heaved back trying to drag the man off of his feet.

Trip Attempt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

AC: 21

Ezechias takes another swing, hoping for a merciful, swift death for the tiefling. "May your next life be kinder."

Mwk Cold Iron Scimitar, flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 111d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Giosue moved to the side to get a clearer line of sight on the madman and fired his crossbow.

Shooty?: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 17 threat?
Shooty?: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6
Crit: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Hellstrider? Updating tomorrow

Was a very rough week, all my games went down hill, drove over 1000km, and was spent, will try to catch up where i can

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Attack Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 3d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 3, 5) + 15 = 30

Aiming to end the adversary they were facing, she tries to slam her lance through his chest, which she does!

Aiming to end the adversary they face, Hellstrider rears back on her hind legs and angles her lance at the traitor's chest. Then, with a powerful thrust, she falls to the ground, bringing her full weight down upon the wooden shaft. The false crusader gasps in shock as the tip of the armiger's lance drives into his chest and explodes from his back. He struggles in vain to pull free from the weapon, mute words coming from his mouth. Then, he gasps and slumps back, dead.

Fight's over.

Are any of the people we discovered here still alive? The "scholars", or whatnot?

Iavdi watches the lance pierce the man, eyes blank as he simply admires Hellstrider's form.
"Well done, Hellstrider. Now, let's get on with this. We have work to do."

With this, he scans the room quickly, looking for any sign of writings, whether book or scroll.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

She qas heaving a bit. Such kind of tight courter fighting was not what she was use to

"Thank you. Yes. We should move and get back to the fort. Every moment we waste gives the enemy advantage"

D'hara moved about the library to each body to see if it was still alive. They were sent to gather information. Interrogations could always provide information, and she excelled at interrogating. Truth be told she almost enjoyed it, if she enjoyed anything. She didn't bother with the surviving 'innocents'. Ezechias was more suited to that task and they likely wouldn't know much anyway.

Casting stabilize on any that may not be dead yet.

The librarians gasp and run to the armigers' sides. Thank you... One of the researchers, clearly the more senior and member and the one in charge, blanches at the sight of the warriors' grim armor. knights. We owe you a debt of gratitude. How may we repay you your courage and bravery?

Iavdi, for all his training, cannot find the tomes he requires. D'vara finds the soldiers and teiflings both beyond her reach. But, somehow, Pharasma's hand is only light upon Chaleb's soul, and the monk is able to stay his his final punishment a bit longer. she stablizes him

Remember, you're looking for any information that the demons could use against the wardstone, or that the hellknights could use to stop the worldwound.

Ezechias rushes to the side of the wounded once the fight is over, stabilizing everyone and taking the wounds for fear his companions on himself.

I'll just need to know who needs how much healing.

"It is our duty to help those who fight against the chaos of this world. We require information any and all involving the world wound and the wardstone"

Kevroth watches those checking the fallen for a moment, then turns to the rest of the library, searching through the remaining books and scrolls for anything of use, and searching the room for anything that might be noteworthy.

Searching the books: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13.

Searching the books: 1d20+10.
Searching the library: 1d20+10.

Not forgetting the duty to which he was chained, Giosue went to aid Kevroth.

Search?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

I'm down 11 hit points Ezechias.

Can we take 20 on Perception checks to search?

After Chaleb is stabilized, D'hara pulls out her recently acquired barbed manacles and shackles the unconscious man, arms behind his back. She takes out one of her two whips and proceeds to tie one end around the man's throat. Then she gathers up the weapons and valuables carried by his companions. She sets everything in a pile by the door before turning her attention back to the library itself.

yup take 20 away!

As they search, they find numerous texts on demonology and treatises on the Worldwound. The librarians report, to their horror, that all of the texts with reference to the demon lords Deskari and Baphomet are either missing or burned. Absent, too, are the texts describing the formation of the Wardstone. The head librarian almost cries as she replies. Her devotion to books overrides any discipline she has. I'm sorry, knights. They bur.. burned them! And, that .. thing! That horrible horrible thing! It was a man made entirly of worms. He .. bound us with magic and then ripped our treasures from this building. Then, he commanded behemoth demons to tear this building down around us as he left.

As the librarian speaks, the armiger's search the area for clues. D'hara finds a letter written in the foul tongue of the abyss.

Ezechias absorbs most of the wounds from D'hara, leaving her more apt to focus her mind on the scholarly task at hand. "I'm not much of a scholar. Giosue, let me know if I can help you with something."

D'hara is healed for 1 points, then I'll use one charge of the wand of infernal healing to top me off while the others are researching.

Having found what he could, Kevroth turns his attention to his allies, "Is anyone still injured? By the grace of the Lord of Hell, I have some ability to heal yet this day."

D'hara bowed formally to Ezechias as most of her wounds closed. She smiled beneath her scarf while pressing her fingers into the last remaining wound. It should leave a decent enough scar. It would help to remind her to practice more. She mustn't let chaos get the better of her. She had to be more disciplined.

She then turned to approach Giosue and presented him with the letter she had found. "I do not speak the demons' language, but I have seen it enough to recognize it. If you can read it, will you teach me?"

Giosue read the letter over to himself twice, committing it to memory before reciting it.

"This is addressed to a lord Vang:

"It concludes with an invocation of Deskari and Baphomet over the signature S.V."

Ezechias remains silent throughout the reading of the letter, though his tense face lets you understand that a cold anger is slowly stirring inside him. His fanglike teeth are clenched.

"They dared invade our city, and now the Tower of Estrod? We must put an end to this, arrest this Faxon and interrogate him."

Kevroth bares his teeth at the mention of infiltrators corrupting an orderly society from within, "This cannot stand, my Brothers and Sisters. Faxon will beg to tell us everything he knows long before he is allowed to die."

D'hara took a knee before Ezechias, her head low. "I ask for the honor to conduct the interrogation on this Faxon, once he is in custody."

Gonna give to tomorrow and then moving on. It looks like ya'll wanna go to the tower of estrod, right?

just posting to show im still here. Life still a bit hectic. Bot if needed =^^=
