Antichrist Nero |

Fort 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 fails against Mwikali's powerful witchcraft!
The magical thread and needle swiftly stitch Nero's mouth shut!
What!? No!! No!! Blasted African witch!! Must escape...

Antichrist Nero |

ROUND 4:
In something akin to panic, the witchcraft-muted Nero, scrabbles at his stitched-closed mouth, desperately trying to tear the stitches free...
Strength 1d20 ⇒ 2 fails!
...but the stitches are too tight!
Gah! No fair! My victory was assured until this...
The Antichrist flees toward the next chamber... provoking AoOs from Johann, Ogon Fox, Lady Ihrin, and Sir Alphonse!

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

Ihrin Strikes at the fleeing Nero.
Tiger Fang: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 36

Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Sneak Attack: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1) = 14
If it succeeds he can only move half his movement for a whole round

Damage: 2d4 + 34 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 34 + (1, 5) = 44
Alphonse once again charges after the cowardly, fleeing Lich.
Charge!: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 = 30
But his frantic flailing at the stitches in his lips serves surprisingly well to dodge the attack.

And the kill goes to Johann! Nice!
Nero shrieks as Johann tears out his evil throat, felling the monster's material body! NNNMMMMMMmmm!!!!

Antichrist Nero |

The Antichrist falls limp in Dire Bat Johann's fanged jaws!
Good job, everyone!
Loot: Potions of invisibility [2], +3 chain shirt, +1 heavy mace, amulet of natural armor +3, belt of incredible dexterity +2, cloak of resistance +3, headband of mental prowess +4 [Wis, Cha], ring of protection +2, and a ring with 3 keys on it: one silver, one copper, and one gold.

Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper |

"Now we must figure out how to locate his phylactery. But how?"
I'd like the Headband, if nobody else wants it. I don't have a +4 Cha booster yet.

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

Ihrin leans down and crosses Neros' arms and smiles with tears in her eyes.
"Cur vos oportet agitare quae tanta insania brother.You egerunt, et non poterant ad mortem, ut vita postea essent, coercendis illic te insania in vita. Ego certus ut vestri corpus est, plus posuit quieti statim. " She removes the items from the man and then looked at the others she turned and moved back to tend to her father.
Seeing her father she pulls him from the fountain. She begins to remove the heavy items form him and cries more as she leans down and sobs heavily on the man who had raised her in this life.

"PRAISE BE TO ---CHEEEPPPP--- HOLY FATHER AND LORD AND ----CHEEEP--- JESUS CHRIST, THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED! NOW...WHAT IS PHYLCTER THING?"
Now is a good time for all to know about the loot sheet. look at all the links above and click party treasure. I would like to put a request in for the amulet of natural armor +3. if you want something put your name by the item on the spreadsheet

The Mighty Champions have won their first victory over Nero Antichrist by destroying his corporeal form. Alas, his evil spirit still survives in his hidden phylactery. Unless they can find it and destroy it before he has built up enough power to reincarnate, the Beast 666 will return for vengeance!

The Ogon Fox |

The Fox breathes a shuddering sigh of relief as the wicked lich's body falls lifeless.
"It seems our journey in Africa did more to prepare us for that battle than I had realized," he muses. He kneels down and makes the sign of the cross before giving silent prayers of thanksgiving to God.

"I am no priest, but I would say a prayer over his body, if you would allow it. I know not his faith or whether this would be welcome, but the offer is open."
Was he actually a vampire or not? I'm afraid I don't know Ihrin's entire story."

Vlad II the Dragon was a Romanian Christian count of Wallachia, part of the Holy Roman Empire under Sigismund. Emperor Sigismund formed the Order of the Dragon and made him its commander to fight off the Turks. He had several children, and of those who survived to adulthood, Ihrin is his daughter and Vlad III is his young son, who will grow up to avenge his father's death by the Turks in real history, and become known as Vlad the Impaler, Bram Stoker's inspiration for Dracula. So no, he's not a vampire.

Mwikali |

"Of coarse Fox, Mother Africa does not breed the weak. She makes it full of trials for us to overcome. She is harsh but also kind. She is the Lifegiver and the Life Taker, her many children be it spirit, beast or being!" She says chuckling as she looks over the dead and raises a brow.
"Where is your Pope?"

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

"Yes My Father, or was he, my father?" She shook her head and then sighed."No he raised me Ihrin Ardlean, adopting me and making me a Dracul. He was a good man and a kind man and a devout man. He fought for Sigimund to push back the Turks, who I went to Africa to learn about.I...I..am more than that now, though. I am more." She moved on and looked up her face puffy form crying.
"I am also the sister of Nero!" She cries again as she slumps over her father's body and wails her life turned upside down.

Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund |

In his sickbed at the Imperial Palace in the Palatinate of the Rhine, Sigismund of Luxembourg's fever breaks, and he lets out a long sigh of relief as his pains suddenly ease. He slowly crawls out of bed, and kneeling before the bejeweled crucifix over his silk canopied bed, gives thanks and praise to God for his miraculous recovery!
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott!

Michael Johnson 66 |

After looting Nero's corpse and laying Vlad II Dracul and Arc Perdu to rest, what does everyone want to do?
A: Explore deeper in the Catacombs to search for Nero's phylactery?
B: Seek the aid of a diviner to cast commune and get clues about the phylactery's location?
C: Hunt down Wormwood before he destroys more of Europe?
or D: Some other plan of action?

Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper |

"I am also the sister of Nero!" She cries again as she slumps over her father's body and wails her life turned upside down.
Alphonse shakes his head, awkwardly trying to comfort Ihrin.
"You are no more or less than you were. Kinship to a monster does not make you one as well, unless you also share in their evil deeds."
@MJ: I vote "find phylactery first". If he comes back it will be exponentially harder to find and beat him next time.

The Ogon Fox |

I think consulting a diviner is a good idea. The phylactery might not even be in the Catacombs of Rome, for all we know.
"Alphonse speaks truly, Ihrin. Take a deep breath, calm your mind. You know who you are, and Nero has not taken that from you."

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

I vote the diviner
"I know that, its...I see him differently. I know he is evil but also I remember him as a caring brother, but also a monster, he wasn't...in the beginning all evil, just troubled. Why,How..I mean why was I brought here?Was it to end him.Why was I granted this second life?" She ponders as she makes sure her father is removed from the fountain and then placed on the ground securing his weapons to the man like you would any noble knight.

Mwikali |

"I may have a few tricks to aid us though if we can seek out one who has more focused magics then I in this realm it would be grateful" She says as she chuckles before she then looks at the others.
"What of the pope and the others taken, could we mayhap raise them or find them as well?" She asks holding her spear as she looked at the others wondering what became of them.
