Wrath of the Righteous- go to 11 (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

"Fear not, Helton! We shall free you from your possession! Possibly by force..." Kendren also begins to cast a spell.

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

I dont go first

Kendren casts his spell, protecting his mind from evil thoughts. Then using the air walk spell, he moves over the lava towards the possessed priest. As he goes he calls upon his power to enhance his weapon and ensure he can subdue the priest without hurting him.

Standard Action to cast protection from evil on himself, move action towards Helton, then spending a Mythic point for an extra standard action to activate my divine bond and make my longsword merciful and keen.

I was trying to wait for my turn to act, but I guess I'll go ahead and put it out there..

Spending a mythic point Nuala will cast Dispel Evil and then move up to touch the cleric with the spell hoping to force the possession out of him. She has a 40' flight speed.

Touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 DC 20 Will save

SR if Necc: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Breach: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

"Do not despair, for I will redeem you! Come back to the light!"

Keep forgetting about the 2nd one lol..

Init: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Val will hold he raction till the above resolves..

I was kinda waiting for Mama to go, though as everyone did win initiative, I was hardly going to go first.

will: 1d20 ⇒ 14 pass

I did my thing, although it was mostly a setup round for beating Helton unconscious.

Yeah, you went and that was good. Just still waiting on Mama and Valkyrie then.

I'm just standing around wondering what's going on. I was willing to assist him in his euthanasia plans but was told he was not himself. So not sure what to do about that.

Delaying.

Seeing the possession not end Val uses Fleet Warrior to move up and full attack the man.. Using non-lethal attacks. Assuming he is in front of Nuala..

Using spell combat/spell strike for arcane mark, swift action for arcane accuracy. Power attack.. She auto succeeds on concentration.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31 vs FF
Attack 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
Attack SS: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40

Confirm SS: 1d20 + 23 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 23 + 9 = 46

At any point he drops she will stop attacking.

Non Lethal 1: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (6) + 35 = 41
Non Lethal 2: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (6) + 35 = 41
Non Lethal SS: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (6) + 35 = 41

Non Lethal Crit SS: 2d6 + 79 ⇒ (1, 1) + 79 = 81

"Show yourself vile sorcerer!"

Valkyrie hits him twice and kills him.

It is worth remembering that non-lethal is only so non-lethal.

From PRD If a creature’s nonlethal damage is equal to his total maximum hit points (not his current hit points), all further nonlethal damage is treated as lethal damage.

As he collapses dead, a form emerges from his corpse and begins to laugh.

(knowledge planes to identify it)

...He didn't have a lot of hit points, did he?

Knowledge planes): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

...He didn't have a lot of hit points, did he?

Even if he had 100 HP (about what we all have), a crit of 122 points of "non-lethal" damage is enough to kill any of us outright.

Obviously the crit wouldnt have happened if the 1st attck drops him.. Neither would the second. I said she was stopping attacks when he fell..

Obviously the crit wouldnt have happened if the 1st attck drops him.. Neither would the second. I said she was stopping attacks when he fell..

And if he started with 100HP, then the first hit didn't drop him, then the second, a crit, kills him. Not much you can do about that.

"Ya know if you would have just let me give him a simple dagger we might not be in this mess. What is that funny looking form coming out of him?

And as I said, you hit him twice and killed him. He did not die on the first attack, he died on the second. He was a small town priest. You can't very well imagine him to have many HP (under 50).

You recognize it as a Shachath demon, but you don't remember any details beyond that (CE outsider).

Oh, the demon used it turn laughing (being dazed).

You can do something now.

"Take care of the demon.. I will save the priest."

Not sure if she is adjacent to the demon so using concentration.

Nuala burns a mythic point to up the power on he Breath of Life spell to them mythic version..

Conc: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

Empowered Mythic BoL: 5d12 + 9 + 18 ⇒ (5, 6, 7, 4, 5) + 9 + 18 = 54

Val moves to the demon and opens a can.. Using spell combat/spellstrike with arcane mark and swift for arcane accuracy.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (15) + 27 = 42
Attack 2: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Attack SS: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (8) + 27 = 35

Confirm 1: 1d20 + 27 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 27 + 9 = 40

Dam 1: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (4) + 35 = 39
Dam 2: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (1) + 35 = 36
Dam SS: 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (6) + 35 = 41

Dam Crit 1: 2d6 + 79 ⇒ (2, 2) + 79 = 83

"You still think it's funny!"

Suppressing the merciful ability he'd placed on his weapon, Kendren calls out, "Die, Shachath!" He then strikes the thing as quickly as he can.

Swift action: smite evil on the Shachath. Free action: Bloodrage. Attacks ignore all DR.

Attack 1, bloodrage, smite, Mythic PA: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 19 + 2 + 3 - 3 = 36
Damage, bloodrage, smite, Mythic PA: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 18 + 6 = 42

Attack 2, bloodrage, smite, Mythic PA: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 = 35
Damage, bloodrage, smite, Mythic PA: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 29

Confirm Attack 2?: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 = 20
Certain Strike Reroll, Destined Strike: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 + 3 - 3 + 4 = 29
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 9 + 6 = 32

If I need to spend a standard action to suppress the merciful ability I put on my weapon with divine bond, then I will spend a mythic point for an extra standard action. The description for merciful says it can be suppressed on command, but not the kind of action it is.

AC is 30, Touch is 17, Flat-footed 28. Resist Fire 20. Saving Throws Fort +15, Reflex +14, Will +13.

Generally a command to a magic item is a standard action.

The demon dies, but before it does "Yes, I will still laugh. I lose this shell, but I will still have his soul. "

Breath of life is able to keep the priest alive.

"No you wont.."

How bad off is he?

He's almost fully healed.

"Are you alright Helton? We are allies from Drezen."

Whats up with the smoky crystal?

"I seem to be much better than I thought i would be. " as he seems to have fairly minor remaining injuries.

The big crystal seems to be a sort of tomb, and there is a figure inside dressed in armor, bearing a bow.

"I only ask because that demon seemed to think it had claim to your soul.. If so than I might be able to help with that."

"My soul? I don't know. I'm still alive, though I'm quite disillusioned with it all. I'm pretty sure I've let Erastil down in a huge way. "

Can you atone?

As in atonement spell?

"Hey look, there is a bow in there..."

"...I wonder what kind it is. How do we get it out of there?"

"What's the point?" he responds, clearly not bustling with enthusiasm. "I have been lost to Erastil. "

Nuala rolls her eyes..

"An atonement spell will put you back in good standing if you were under compulsion, which you obviously were. It's up to you, but I can help. The spell and prayer should have you in the right."

To Mama..

"Not sure. Also not sure if we should be destroying someone's resting place just to take their stuff."

Any knowledge on the crystal?

Kendren says to the priest. "I do not think that Erastil will completely reject you because you were possessed by a demon. A spell of atonement and a prayer should restore your standing, and you can strive to make it up to him by working that much harder at tending to his faithful and striving to follow his teachings every day. Actually, you can do that last part even if you don't accept atonement. One doesn't need to be a cleric to follow their god's teachings."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

The crystal is clearly a coffin, and you believe it to be the final resting place of Delamere, a priest of Erastil (you read about them in the book you found back at the chapel).

"I suppose it is worth trying, but I really lack any hope at this point. " he replies to the offer of an atonement spell.

"When we get back to Drezen I will acquire the materials and help you out.. We should probably get going.."

Is there anybody out there?

I'm waiting to see if you're going to do something to the tomb or leave. It's your choice after all.

"Let's head back to Drezen. We should avoid disturbing the tomb of someone's resting place."

I take one last look longingly at the bow encased in the tomb as we depart.

You head back to Drezen. I imagine your wind walk is likely still running, so getting back up out of the chasm shouldn't be hard for the party, but you have a guest now. Got something for him?

Nuala will cast fly on him..

I was gonna carry him, but that works, too.

As you ride the air back out of the chasm, you spot a few figures mounted on winged beasts flying in your direction (few being 3).

"Friends? ..."

"Did we leave anyone back at Drezen with flying mounts?"

Knowledge (local) if the crusaders use flying mounts, DC 10 information only: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Your paladin army had conventional horses for mounts.

Im guessing these are not friendly..

How long till they reach us?

you have 2 rounds

"I guess we'll know soon enough if they are friends or foes."

Watching as they approach.
