Wrath of the Righteous- go to 11 (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

The demons carried nothing.

"Thanks for the healing, Nuala." Rayne is at full again. He checks the doors for traps and if none, opens the doors leading north to F2.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

F2
Eight weathered statues of horned demons crouch on platforms that overlook the rise of this massive rampway, which leads up to the north to an atrium.

8d20 ⇒ (20, 9, 1, 3, 5, 1, 8, 6) = 53You notice that 7 of the 8 statues appeared to move a tiny little bit when you entered. They are probably not just statues.

Godwin fervor casts Iron Skin upon himself as he charges the closest one and brings his falchion down on it!

Your tricks do not work on me Foul Demon!

mythic power attack with racial bonus and bane bonus if really evil outsiders: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 2 = 31

-3 if not

Two handed mythic power attack with racial bonus and bane bonus if really evil outsiders: 2d4 + 12 + 9 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 + 9 + 2 + (5) + (3, 3) = 38

-2-3d6 if not

AC 24 currently because - charge for one round + Iron Skin for seven minutes

They are above you on pedestals. 15' up

It would probably be a good idea to roll initiative first before anything else.

init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 meh

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
lol
How high are the pedestals, can Godwin swing at them from the ground?

15'

I wouldn't worry, they will come to you.

Hah. In that case Godwin will probably not charge for -2 to attack and AC being at 26.

Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Init: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Planes: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27 Special Attacks, Special Defenses, Resistances?

If it happens to be arcana instead of planes it's just a 20 total.

Nature actually. That gets you a '15' which means you remember that Gargoyles look like that (CE monstrous humanoids), but you can't recall any details.

Initiative: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17

Nature would be 19, she has +4 to skills via Heroism and Heightened Awareness. It's moot though just a heads up.

"Gargoyles.."

Nuala casts Shield on herself and uses a mythic point to quick cast Haste on the group, lasts 9 rounds..

Rayne moves up 30' and goes full-defense.
EDIT: Damn, have not calculated my AC with the mutagen.
Normal: 30
Hasted: 31
Full-defense: 37
"Let them come to us, so we don't aggro the whole compound."

Mama is up.

Immediate action, study front 2 targets (they are currently flat footed)

Going against the first one on the right. If it dies, then arrows would be directed at the new target on the left if needed.

Using +1 adaptive holy longbow vs. Evil target, ignore cover up to total concealment, Rapid shot, Clustered Shots, point blank shot, sneak attack, extra haste attack

Two close in Gargoyles die in chunky bits.

3,4 fly to flank Rayne and attack him.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 miss

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 hit

confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 9 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 nope

2 move charge fly to attack him as well

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 9 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 nope

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 7 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 nope

Last 2 double move fly to close in.

Rest of the party is up for round 1 (that being Godwin)

Then the others for start of round 2 (wait for Godwin).

Same as my last attempt please just charging 4.

You hit it for 25.

Now, the rest for top of round 2.

After Nuala of course.

Swift action study #3 and #4, 5' step up into point blank range. Shooting at #3 and if it goes down, switching to #4.

Am I noticing any DR and if clustered shot is helping here. Or is magic and/or cold iron of the arrows seem effective based on my experience.

3 dies, then the wounded#4 does as well.

It's hard to tell with them dying so quickly (as clustered shot doesn't cost anything in practice, I don't see why it matters to you).

Was just curious if I learned anything turning them into pin cushions that I could share with the group.

Nuala watches the devastation unfold and holds her action. She instead opts to keep an eye out further up for additional dangers.

Perc: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

There's no other visible threats in the area other than the fragile gargoyles.

Down 8 hps...we move forward carefully to the next sets of doors, using the real gargoyle statues as cover, looking out for threats on any nearby towers, if there are any.
Perceptions: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

There's still 2 gargoyles left standing.

My bad, didn't realize there were 8 gargoyles. Rayne stays in full defense, they won't survive another barrage from Mama.

OK they fly past you (above no AOO) and attack Mama.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 2 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 miss

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 hit

PCs are up.

Realizing that the enemy are not demonic outsiders dulls Godwin's fire a bit but he charges 7 nevertheless.

Charge Two handed: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 2 = 31

Two handed: 2d4 + 12 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 = 16

Hit. Still up.

Swift action study target #7 & #8.

Using +1 holy longbow cold iron durable arrows vs. Evil target, ignore cover up to total concealment
Rapid shot, Clustered Shots, Studied Target, Point Blank Shot

Shooting #7 first, it if drops, targeting #8. Also Point Blank Master so does not provoke AoO.

Nuala watches as the archer gives no mercy..

First of the two gargoyles explodes into rocky chunks from the multishot (Baysplosions).

Second one is still up.

I should remember to edit my posts for natural ones and remove the damage lines. Also later I will want to know if I'm hitting or missing so that I can use mythic and legendary points to surge the roles. Not too much of an issue on mooks for now.

Considering that against the gargoyles you only missed on a 1 (initial shots), it's kinda moot.

Who's up next?

Rayne has yet to go this round.

Rayne charges the last one.
charge: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 2 = 42
damage: 1d8 + 19 + 4d8 ⇒ (4) + 19 + (5, 4, 1, 1) = 34
confirmation: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 21 + 2 = 27
extra damage: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Dead as a rock.

Combat over.

Onward. These minions were bound by greater evil!

Let me know when the Iron Skin and Haste expire

Also my Cat's Grace (thanks Nuala) which was 14 minutes.

We move forward to next sets of doors.

A portcullis of rune-carved iron bisects this entry hall. Arrow slits mark the passageway’s walls near the ceiling twenty feet above. A seven-foot-high section near the floor of the west wall has collapsed and fallen away, allowing access to another room beyond.

"Let's try the collapsed section.."

Rayne will first check the portcullis for traps and to see if it is locked or barred.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Also looking for any traps.

Perception (Traps): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Maybe there is a way to get this portcullis open. or disable a trap if I find one

Disable Device: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

If no traps and can't open, then heading through the collapsed section.

As you start to examine the portcullis, archers behind the arrow slits open up on you.

They (4) Target Mama and Rayne

Mama
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 10 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 hit
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 11 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 hit

Rayne
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 13 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 hit
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 hit

Roll init.

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

We go over the rubble!

I forgot to note that the arrows are coming from the side without the rubble (east)
