GM Debug's Siege of the Diamond City (Inactive)

Game Master DebugAMP

Ok, I'll take the bonus save from ending Cudgels emotional bond, as I do not want to be staggered.

will save, you mean won't save haha: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

And there it is. One attack. One. I want to pass ONE !@#$%^& WILL SAVE. I'm chaosed, and down a weapon, so its not even worth the reroll.

sad attack: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42
sad attack chaos edition: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (5) + 31 = 36
non-damage: 2d6 + 57 ⇒ (5, 2) + 57 = 64

Cool, wake me when I'm dead and naked

It's dazed, not staggered.

whoops, my bad. Disregard the missed attack then

Syeira flies towards the beast directly underneath Omrax, accepting the AoO. AC is 31 on the AoO

Move Action: Fly 60 ft. to be adjacent to the beast.
I'm declaring my 2nd Impromptu Sneak Attack on this roll, so any Dex bonus it may be getting to AC is lost, and I get sneak attack dice (unless he's immune to SA or something).

Once in position, Syeira thrusts her rapier at the monster:
Standard Action: Attack with the Rapier

Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 20 + 6 = 59
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 26 = 38
Sneak Attack Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 1, 4, 3) = 15
SR Check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Intensified Shocking Grasp (cold) Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1, 6, 2, 4, 2, 6, 3) = 33

Rapier Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 15 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 20 + 6 = 47
Rapier Crit Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 26 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 26 = 35
Intensified Shocking Grasp (cold) Crit Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 4, 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 5) = 38

Daze duration for those who failed: 1d10 ⇒ 1 rounds

AoO Bite: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44
Damage: 2d6 + 15 + 12 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 + 12 = 32

Steal the Ochre Ioun Stone... I'm not sure what it does but it's the shiniest looking: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (4) + 34 = 38

The stout demon rotates in the air as Syeira approaches underneath, then swats her her with it's massive claw, imparting it's mythic power to overwhelm her with chaos. It also seems to be increasing its collection of ioun stones on the ground below.

Attack Chaos Reroll: 1d20 + 15 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 20 + 6 = 45 Still hits, doesn't crit
Fails SR, Sneak Attack works, smite bypasses DR

Round 2/3, Will saves all around:
Syeira (-22, -10 to Stoneskin, +50 ft, Chaos'd, Missing an Ochre Rhomboid, pending Force Punch)
Cugel
The Whispering Valkyrie (-90, +50 ft, 6 MP used)
Hania (Fly, +30 ft, save vs daze, maybe free charge)
Omrax (-50, Angelic fly, Chaos'd, +50 ft, save vs daze)
Quaff (-93, Missing a red and green Ioun Stone and Helmet, Chaos'd, +50 ft, dazed 1 round)
Radezk (Fly, +30 ft, save vs daze)

Force Punch AoO

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Using my reroll. I'm not passing up a potential critical. 4 star GM bonus
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 4 = 35
Force Damage: 10d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 1, 2) = 28

Touch Attack Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Force Crit Damage: 10d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 4, 2) = 23

@GM- good assumption on accepting the charge. He definitely would

Omrax grimaces in pain at the huge bite out of his shoulder, still trying to grapple with the dazing he received.

WILL: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 vs Aura DC (not dazed)

He will lay hands on his shoulder to heal some of the damage.

LoH,mercy: 6d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 5, 3, 6) + (1) = 24 healing

Then tries his chaos'd full hasted smiting attack.

We tire of thy tricks!

Add +13 dmg on the first one that actually hits. AC35 with smite and haste. -26 hp dmg

Nobody has cast haste. Quaff has boots of speed. Also, I think you may be missing something in your math... 12 (BAB) +5 (Str) +5 (EO Bane Enhancement) -1 (Size) +6 (Smite) puts you at +27 without haste, so you may want to check your attack macros. I think you're selling yourself short. I'll wait to resolve this until I see Hania's post since Cugel's post has an if/else in it that definitely impacts the results here.

Well golly. I must have hallucinations. I thought for sure I saw a haste cast. Ok so disregard the last attack. (Edit: I found the haste on a different campaign-lol).
Unfortunately, I think the math comes out the same as I get +27 and you had +27. I think I was missing the base+1 on his sword . So I think the rolls worked out by accident and maybe the first hits but not the other two. I had 2d6 for large sword vs your 1d10 . I hope it is right. I cannot come up with anything else without flank or aid or higher ground etc

Ok... so the chaos effect is a free action the Nalfeshnee takes after it damages you with an attack, so I think the spell-storing armor goes off before you're chaos'd. Now then, for the sake of consistency with the way I've run things so far, I'm going to resolve Syeira's turn, then Omrax's turn, then Cugel's turn using Hania's decision to be brave and glorious, then Hania's bot turn...

Syeira's armor discharges a pulse of force directly into the Nalfeshnee's chest, causing it to stagger back in agony. Crit confirmed! Touch AC is 15. Regular AC on the other hand... 40.

Omrax moves into position and begins to hack and slash at the Nalfeshnee, but every single attack seems thwarted by these blasted visions!

Cugel launches Hania around the back side of the Nalfeshnee, giving her enough momentum to plunge towards it blade first.

Attack Math: 13 (BAB) +8 (Str) +1 (Weap Focus) +5 (Enhancement) -1 (Size) + 6 (Smite) -4 (Power Attack) = +28
Damage Math: 2d6 +8 (Str) +5 (Enhancement) +13 (Smite) +12 (Power Attack) = 2d6 +38
Attack, Charge, Flank: 1d20 + 28 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 28 + 2 + 2 = 36

Her blade fails to pierce it's hide, but she follows up the charge with another radiant flurry of strikes.

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 28 + 2 = 43
Damage + Extra Smite: 2d6 + 38 + 13 ⇒ (1, 3) + 38 + 13 = 55

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 13 + 8 + 5 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 8 + 5 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 5 = 44
Confirm?: 1d20 + 13 + 6 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 6 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 5 = 41
Damage: 2d6 + 38 + 2d6 + 38 ⇒ (1, 6) + 38 + (4, 4) + 38 = 91

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 13 + 6 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 10 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 6 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 6 - 4 - 10 = 22

Hania manages to strikes across the sides of it's neck leaving it horridly wounded... but it still... wont... die...

Round 2/3:
Syeira (-22, -10 to Stoneskin, +50 ft, Chaos'd, Missing an Ochre Rhomboid, pending Force Punch)
Cugel
The Whispering Valkyrie (-287, +50 ft, 6 MP used)
Hania (Fly, +30 ft, save vs daze, maybe free charge)
Omrax (-50, Angelic fly, Chaos'd, +50 ft, save vs daze)
Quaff (-93, Missing a red and green Ioun Stone and Helmet, Chaos'd, +50 ft, dazed 1 round)
Radezk (Fly, +30 ft, Will save DC 26 vs daze)

I do plan on hasting on my next action once you're all grouped up and I can get you all.

Actually just noticed he's at -287(!) so maybe Radezk will drop him.

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Radek shakes off the mind-penetrating tendrils of the demon and shouts a dwarven challenge, streaking through the air, leading with his shield as he slams into the monster!

Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (10) + 35 = 45
Includes +6 for Aura of Justice, +6 for Ranger's Focus, -4 Power Attack, -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size, +2 for Charge
Shield Slam Damage: 1d8 + 52 ⇒ (3) + 52 = 55
Includes +26 for Aura of Justice, +6 for Ranger's Focus, +8 Power Attack, +1 STR bonus for Large Size, 1d8 base damage for enlarged shield

Good Lord that's a lot of calculating! Hopefully my maths are right! :) This is a simple charge attack this round, so bonus to attack roll and penalty to AC for this round. And sorry for keeping you waiting folks, I can't usually post until mid-morning with my schedule - though I do try and check the boards in the early evening when I can.

By the way, if it attacks any ally with a ranged or melee attack, Radek will use a Hunter's Trick (Vengeance Strike) as an immediate action to make another shield slam attack. I'll put it below in a spoiler.

Conditions:
Fly (? more rounds)
Protection From Evil (ending this round)
Stoneskin [50] (4 more rounds)
Fire Shield [Warm] (1d6+10 damage, probably doesn't matter...) (4 more rounds)
Ranger's Focus (+6/+6 to attack/damage rolls)
Aura of Justice (+6/+26 to attack/damage rolls vs evil outsiders)
Power Attack (-4/+8 to attack/damage rolls)
Enlarged (+2 to STR score, -2 to DEX, -1 to attack rolls, -1 to AC)
-2 to AC (for charge) for a total of -4 to AC [Current AC = 26]

Radek charges, shield first, straight towards the Nalfeshnee. With his trained hunter's skills and Shelyn's guidance he's able to land his strike cleanly at the demon's center of mass. The demon shudders and begins to lose consciousness. Hania and Radek find their strength sapped as something within the demon reacts violently with their spiritual core.

Fort Save DC 27 (vs an Evil Abjuration spell) to negate each of these:

Vs Hania
Str Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Str Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Vs Radek
Str Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

With a thud, the demon collapses next to the pile of corpses beneath.

Fall Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 2, 4) = 18

As the demon strikes the ground, unholy tendrils wisping out from it's body dissipate and for at least this moment... in this small stretch of field... there is calm.

KRAKOOOOOOOOOM

That small bit of calm is interrupted by a massive explosion half a mile away. You really aren't sure what happened there...

The Nalfeshnee is unconcio- **THUD** -dead. Collect your stolen gear, heal up, and decide where to next! Options are the Glabrezu trio, or the swarm towers.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

Radek shakes off the demon's dying spell and raises his axe on high, celebrating the group's victory over the powerful outsider with a dwarven warcry.

He glances in the direction of the explosion, trying briefly to figure out what happened, though the adrenaline is still flowing and he pays scant attention. With another fierce cry, the dwarf shouts. "Let us deal with the trio of demons next!"

Perception Check: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

I'm up for that Glabrezu trio! But I'm fine if the towers are chosen by the majority as well. What is the duration of the Enlarge Person spell that was cast?

Conditions:
Fly (? more rounds)
Stoneskin [50] (3 more rounds)
Fire Shield [Warm] (1d6+10 damage, probably doesn't matter...) (3 more rounds)
Enlarged (+2 to STR score, -2 to DEX, -1 to attack rolls, -1 to AC) for a total of -2 to AC [Current AC = 28]

OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT
The Society’s finest have dealt a great blow to the demonic generals.

As the Pathfinders defeat the beast, it explodes in a mighty blast of unholy fire 200' across. Multiple Seekers have perished, but the significance of the loss is keenly felt by the Horde as one of their generals falls.

Cugel looks weary, but nods.

"Well, we are certainly earning our keep today. I don't know about you, but I'm going to feast like a king when the Wound runs out of things to throw at us."

Reupping heightened awareness

Enlarge Person, Mass is 7 minutes off the scroll.

Syeira brushes herself off in the aftermath. "Seems like I'm ok." She taps at her upper right arm. "Guess this brand came in handy." She then casts a few last spells and puts her magical rod back into her haversack.

I'll cast my last Force Punch back into my armor, and my last Shocking Grasp into my weapon. I'll change the Shocking Grasp to cold and use the last charge on my Intensify rod to up the damage.
I'll also renew Heightened Awareness on myself off my wand.

Arcane Spell Failure: 1d100 ⇒ 7
Arcane Spell Failure: 1d100 ⇒ 38

As she surveys the battle site, she finds near the dragon her Ocher Rhomboid Ioun Stone. She picks it up and rolls it around in her hand a moment. She looks over at her friends, then towards the towering demons further down the battlefield. She mutters something to herself under her breath.

She then slips the stone into her bag.

Hania's Fort Saves: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 291d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 No strength damage!

Same as last time, time spent healing will be counted against buff durations. Exact time between approaching and engaging your foe is uncertain, but given that most of you have fly spells cast on you, you can probably high-tail it there in 2-3 minutes. 46 rounds have elapsed since the end of the Woundwyrm encounter where many buffs were cast. Celestial form MIGHT still be active, the weapon boost nearly certainly will have expired, the fly potions will probably be expired before you even begin transit given the necessary healing and item recovery. I'll kick off the Glabrezu encounter either this evening or tomorrow.

'S not right. Ain't no proper way ta fight. Quaff grumbles, as he goes to retrieve his equipment. 'D like to see 'im try that without some cheap tricks...

Well, Quaff got hurt again. Assuming I can borrow one of the paladins to CLW smack me again. Feel free to tell me "no, stop that" after seeing how long it will take me to get topped off, as someone else has to cast it on me anyway. After THP is accounted, I am down 57.

clw: 9d8 + 9 ⇒ (7, 6, 6, 2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 5) + 9 = 59

And it looks like 9 rounds is the magic number for me

Omrax smiles as his prediction of the demon general's demise comes to fruition.

By the Inheritor, I knew we would not fail!

He shakes off the tendrils of chaos and begins to lay hands upon the still sore bite wound.

hands,mercy: 6d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 2, 4, 2) + (2) = 21

Regroup + Travel Time: 9 + 20 + 1d10 ⇒ 9 + 20 + (7) = 36 The fly potions and celestial form have expired.

Flying back over the battlefield, you make your way towards a trio of Glabrezu that are clearly driving a wedge in the crusader's counterassault. The potions of fly run out rather quickly, forcing the party to slow down a bit, and as they approach the site, Omrax's heavenly wings recede as well. You find yourselves forced to land and make the last leg on foot, but by that time your target is clear. You see one of the Glabrezu standing over a wounded crusader and his slain comrade. "Do you wish to share the battlefield with your friend once again? I have the power within me to grant such request... your struggle was... worthy of my... respect. Do you wish for me to raise your friend from death? Once Nerosyan is taken, there is no reason for worthy warriors such as yourselves to be slain needlessly..."

Round 1:
Syeira
Hania
Red Glabrezu
Cugel
Quaff
Green Glabrezu
Omrax
Radezk
Blue Glabrezu

Hania casts communal protection from evil on the party.

Syeira will cast Invisibility on herself then move up behind some rocks.

The furthest Glabrezu cackles. "Court is in session... bring forth the jury!"

It takes 1 step forward and begins attempting to summon some buddies.

Round 1:
Syeira
Hania
Red Glabrezu
Cugel
Quaff
Green Glabrezu
Omrax
Radezk
Blue Glabrezu

Yeah, I think he could use less buddies. Whaddya know hes in charge range with haste

Quaff notices th red one preparing a spell, and will not stand for whatever that may be. Don't you dare!

Hurling: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20
hammer damage: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

Helmet full attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Helmet damage: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29

Rend damage: 1d10 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

Cugel moves up beside the three paladins and casts dimension door, teleporting them each to the red Glabrezu. Excluding anyone unwilling, of course. If Quaff killed Red we'll go to Blue instead.

Finding himself suddenly next to the demon - which isn't much bigger than the enlarged dwarf - Radek unleashes a furious assault upon the fiend!

+5 Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40
Includes -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size
Shield Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Includes +1 STR bonus for Large Size

+5 Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33
Includes -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size
Shield Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Includes +1 STR bonus for Large Size

+5 Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Includes -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size
Shield Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Includes +1 STR bonus for Large Size

+1 Waraxe Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
Includes -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size, -2 for off-hand attack
Shield Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (8, 1) + 8 = 17
Includes +1 STR bonus for Large Size

So full attack action, and I don't think I have flanking bonus on Red, but if I'm wrong and I do, then please add 2 to the dice rolls above. Also, if I can use Bull Rush to knock him into Quaff and drop him prone with the Shield Slam attack(s), then do so. Otherwise, will just go for damage only. If I do knock him prone at any point, the subsequent rolls will be at an additional +4 for attacking a prone target.

Looks like that third shield bash was a crit threat, so confirmation roll and extra damage is below.

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Extra Crit Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Conditions:
Enlarged (+2 to STR score, -2 to DEX, -1 to attack rolls, -1 to AC) for a total of -2 to AC [Current AC = 28]

Quaff hacks and slashes at the Glabrezu, quickly disrupting it's spell and wounding it greatly. The Glabrezu standing over the fallen crusader continues to torment him. "You are fallen... And rather than end your life, I offer you a token of my power. What say you?"

The crusader coughs up blood, then nods with the weary look of a broken man.

"You wish for your friend to rise again rather than face death at hand?"

He nods. "...I ... Wish ...it"

The Glabrezu bellows laughter. "Let it not be said that the Cavorting Court does not keep its word."

It clenches a fist, and the dead crusader gets to his feet... Or at least a dark sprirt does... The wounded crusader screams in agony as he witnesses the undead spirit rise... And is promptly torn to pieces by the ghostly figure.

Radek finishes off the Glabrezu that was trying to summon reinforcements.

Omrax is up. Undead acts with green..

Having just been teleported to the first demon to watch it be destroyed, Omrax looks to the next one and the undead it summoned.

THOU shall pay for your cruelty!

It does not look like he can charge - since it is through people and rocks, so he will double move and smite evil on the undead (unless it looks like an ordinary zombie...but I saw ghost...so assuming not)

By the Inheritor I will smite thee for thy desecration of the dead!

Double hasted move, smite evil on ghost...done

Still not hasted.

AoO: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 22 - 4 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 12 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 12 + 8 = 26

Omrax rushes forward and the Glabrezu snaps a pincer at him as he closes in.

The furthest one eyes Syeira, apparently seeing through her invisibility.

"And what plans do you have? Hiding behind a rock? With cheap tricks to conceal you? What did you think you were going to do? Do show me... and you lot?" It raises a pincer and waves at the largest concentration of foes. "...leave us be... I shall see what she wishes to do..."

Hania, Quaff, Cugel, and Radezk, will save DC 21 vs Confusion

Round 2:
Syeira
Hania (Save vs Confusion)
Cugel (Save vs Confusion)
Quaff (Save vs Confusion)
Green Glabrezu
Omrax (-26)
Radezk (Save vs Confusion)
Blue Glabrezu

Dang - that time it was the boots of haste which got me. Technically, then Omrax would be about 10' further back...but since you already took the AOO, we can call it a wash? And I apologize again.

Omrax grimaces as the large claw slams him viciously.

Well, I've failed every will save this adventure, so surely, this time, I'm bound to pass!

Save v bad: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

HAHAHAHA! IV'E ALREADY SEEN THAT ONE! AND I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU TRY AGAIN!
hammer toss: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

and to confirm the one crit threat

Axe crit confirm: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38
Axe crit damage: 4d6 + 60 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 4) + 60 = 70

Syeira glances over to Quaff across the battlefield before acknowledging the demon. She raises her off-hand to cast a spell.

"That's, fine. We can do this the hard way."

Standard Action: Casting Fireball right on top of blue. Using Versatile Evocation to change it to cold. Reflex DC is 19.

SR Check: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Move Action: Move 40' NW-ish. Trying to get closer to Quaff while not waltzing into a charge lane.

EDIT: Since Quaff beat me to the punch, and did a pretty thorough job of it, I'll change my target if he's dead. I'm also changing my move direction.

Will Save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

Well, just barely but I'll take it.

Running low on spells, and trying to conserve what I have left in case there's more to come. It seems we have this fight well in hand, so if any of the others fail the save against confusion I will cast break enchantment on them no, that has a one minute casting time, duh, I'll have to do Dispel Magic instead, otherwise I'll go on delay in case the situation worsens.

Pathfinders fire a large volley of siege weapons from the ramparts!

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 vs Confusion
Includes +2 racial bonus vs spells/spell-like abilities

Radek shakes his head as though to clear it, then grins nastily and moves in on the demon, his axe and shield held at the ready as he approaches with surprising speed, seeming to be in one place at one moment and then another in the next. "Yer next te become no more than a smear o' paste on th' ground, demon!" The dwarf bellows as he slams the readied shield into the fiend's chest.

+5 Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (10) + 25 = 35 vs Green demon
Includes -1 Large Size, +1 STR bonus for Large Size, attacking with 10' reach
Shield Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Includes +1 STR bonus for Large Size

Use a hunter's trick [Chameleon Step] to move twice normal speed (60') as a move action, then standard attack with shield slam (no Bull Rush though). If the demon attacks an ally on its turn, will use another hunter's trick [Vengeance Strike] to take another shield slam attack as a free action. That attack is below in a spoiler.

Hania moves towards the enemies. double move

Damage: 2d8 + 10 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 + 8 = 22

Syeira and Quaff work to tag team the next Glabrezu into oblivion, but it's reinforced hide makes it able to resist enough damage from both the axe and frigid blast that it remains upright.

The demon standing over the corpse of the crusader bellows laughter. "Now for you..."

It takes a lumbering step forward and begins to claw into Omrax and Hania.

Pincers at Omrax: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 24 - 4 = 211d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 24 - 4 = 24
Claw/Claw/Bite at Hania: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 24 - 4 = 231d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 24 - 4 = 221d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 24 - 4 = 24
A bucket full of miss.

It scowels. "Minions! Sap the strength away from these do-gooders!"

Almost on cue, the corpse of the slain crusader shudders as it's spirit rises as well, reaching for Omrax's ankles.

Touch, Prone: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16
Str damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Their chilling touch begins to leech Omrax's strength away from him.

Radezk charges forward with his shield, but the demon raises a pincer to intercept him.

AoO: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 24 - 4 = 39
Damage: 2d8 + 10 + 8 ⇒ (8, 3) + 10 + 8 = 29

Confirm?: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 24 - 4 = 25 Nope

The two warriors exchange fierce blows, wounding each other greatly... but it seems as though the demon is coming out ahead so far.

Fort: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 371d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Suddenly, the demons are caught off guard by a barrage of arrows and ballista bolts! The 2 large demons are able to withstand the worst of the blows, but the ghostly creatures seem torn and confused. All foes are staggered for 1 round

Round 2:
Syeira
Hania
Quaff (-22)
Green Glabrezu (-15, Staggered)
Spooky Undead (Staggered)
Cugel (Delay)
Omrax (-26)
Radezk (Save vs Confusion)
Blue Glabrezu (-173, Staggered)

Omrax ducks beneath the massive claw aimed his direction from the demon and focuses his energy on the undead.

His smite was active vs the spooky undead (one of them at least if there are two)...12 Touch without smite and 17 touch AC with smite (if that matters). Will assume not. Also assuming deathless armor does not help vs strength damage.

Foul undead, return to thy grave!

Omrax +1 EO longsword, smite, pa, 2H: 1d20 + 16 - 4 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 4 + 7 - 2 = 35

If he kills the first one, transfer to the second, but without smite dmg.

He will lay on hands to cure some damage LoH, Mercy: 6d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 2, 5, 3) + (4) = 28

The prone one you did not have smite active against. That one is 'new'

Omrax, with a trio of cuts, dispatches both of the shadows before they can drain him further.

The staggered Glabrezu looks back and forth between Syeira and Quaff. Knowing it only has 1 shot, it picks the more wounded of the 2 and makes one strike at Quaff.

Vital Power Pincer of Doom: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 22 - 4 = 31
Damage: 4d8 + 10 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3, 8, 3) + 10 + 8 = 33

Round 2:

Cugel (Delay)
Syeira
Hania
Quaff (-55)
Green Glabrezu (-15, Staggered)
Omrax (-26)

Blue Glabrezu (-173)

Do us a favor and fall already!

Rend damage: 1d10 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

Quaff, with 2 more strikes, drops the Glabrezu.

After watching Quaff finish the demon in front of her, Syeira makes a flying charge towards the last remaining enemy.

Rapier Attack (Charge): 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 2 = 37
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Intensified Shocking Grasp (Cold) Crit Damage: 10d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 3, 1, 4, 4, 2, 6, 2) + 1 = 35

Shaking the blood from his eyes where the fiend's giant pincer sliced a deep wound into his scalp, Radek focuses his attention on the remaining demon and pummels it with shield and axe, hoping to drop it quickly!

+5 Shield Slam Attack: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (13) + 31 = 44

Shield Damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (3, 2) + 14 = 19
Includes +6 for Ranger's Focus, +1 STR bonus for Large Size

Take a 5' step, then a swift action for Ranger's Focus and full attack. Again, if the demon attacks an ally on its turn, will use another hunter's trick [Vengeance Strike] to take another shield slam attack as a free action. That attack is below in a spoiler.

Because of reasons, I'm going to just push ahead and open this round up to everyone.

The staggered demon suffers a serious wound from Syeira's frigid rapier, but manages to grab at her shoulder as she closes in.

AoO: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 22 - 4 = 19 Miss

In a fit of frustration it swings wide with a clawed pincer, sweeping from Syeira to Radek in one motion.

Cleave vs Syeira: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 22 - 4 = 37
Damage: 2d8 + 10 + 8 ⇒ (8, 8) + 10 + 8 = 34

Confirm?: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 22 - 4 = 28
Crit Damage: 2d8 + 10 + 8 ⇒ (8, 2) + 10 + 8 = 28

Cleave vs Radek: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 22 - 4 = 28 Miss

Its strike at Syeira is returned with a quick blow from Radek, but the slash catches the dwarf on the flank and leaves quite a mark on his armor. Thankfully, no wound is left behind.

Round Something:
Demon (-lots)
Players (Finish that demon!)

Omrax will swing at the remaining demon.

You shall perish with your fiendish allies.

Omrax-1 +1 EO longsword, pa, large, bane, weak: 1d20 + 16 - 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 - 4 + 2 - 2 = 22

Omrax-2 +1 EO longsword, pa, large, bane, weak: 1d20 + 11 - 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 + 2 - 2 = 9
for pa: 2d6 + 2d6 + 19 - 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + (4, 2) + 19 - 3 = 32

Omrax-3 +1 EO longsword, pa, large, bane weak: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 + 2 - 2 = 20
for pa: 2d6 + 2d6 + 19 - 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + (2, 2) + 19 - 3 = 29

But the loss of strength appears to be too much...(not wasting a smite)

OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT
The Society’s finest have dealt a great blow to the demonic generals.

The host of Demons seems to have lost coordination as they engage along the battle lines, with the Generals mostly cut down and the siege engines still firing, the horde starts falling apart.

The demons go into retreat or are cut down by the crusaders and Pathfinders who swarm those foolish enough to stay. With the host in retreat, the defenders also start recovering the injured and slain.

The dust settles as surviving Pathfinders find their way back to the Starrise Citadel. Dozens lie wounded, some bearing injuries that may prove fatal. Smoke chokes the air as crusaders continue to douse still-burning buildings whose flames are now mercifully under control.

Venture-Captain Jorsal silently walks up and down the lines of Pathfinders. He rarely speaks, only giving an understanding nod or a comforting smile. The arrival of a squad of battered crusaders from the center of the city breaks the grim moment. At their head rides a stern woman bedecked in shining full plate engraved with intricate gold filigree. Her weapon is coated in what must be demonic ichor, and several of her helmet’s once beautiful blue plumes are charred. This can only be Queen Galfrey, crusader queen of Mendev and leader of Nerosyan.

She brings her entourage to a halt and addresses the assembled Pathfinders. “Words cannot express the gratitude of Mendev. What your Society has done here today goes well beyond what duty required. I have learned that this attack was just one of many in a coordinated assault against all of Mendev, and that our wardstones have failed us, disabled by some demonic treachery. Our city only stands thanks to the efforts of those such as yourselves. I have spoken with Venture- Captain Jorsal, and Mendev shall do whatever it can to aid you in reaching the Sky Citadel of Jormurdun—so long as doing so does not interfere with the new war".

“Now, I must depart for the city of Kenabres to inspect the damage done there. Woefully, it did not have the benefit of the Pathfinder Society’s assistance when it was assaulted, and all reports indicate the city is now completely ruined.” She pauses, worry visible on her face before concluding, “Thank you, all of you for your efforts here today.” Without another word, Queen Galfrey and her entourage turn and leave. The remaining Pathfinder survivors stand united, under the still-brilliant light of the Starrise Spire.

Unable to breach the walls of the city with their primary army, the demons have broken into a full retreat. The crusaders are ready to strike back against the demons. Congratulations Pathfinders on your overwhelming victory!

Table GMs - please feel free to close out any dialogue and allow the players to resolve any outstanding business, and close off in your own time. Thank you for GMing!

Players, thank you for your participation, I hope you all had a ball and take away some memories (fond or harrowing) and see you next time!

Omrax lowers his weapon and smiles at the victory.

By the Inheritor, I had no doubts in our ability to vanquish this hoard of evil. Well done my friends!

An eerie silence begins to spread across the battlefield as the most powerful demons teleport away, and the lesser demons are quickly slain. You look around... the walls of Nerosyan stand, but at what cost? Is it a time to celebrate, or a time to mourn the fallen? After wandering the field of battle, helping the wounded, taking count of casualties, and clearing out straggling demons, you feel pretty good about today. The forces you faced could have done far worse than they did. Today is definitely a day to celebrate.

Congratulations in contributing to an Overwhelming Victory! This chronicle rewards 15000 gp, 2 PP, and 1 XP and comes with the following boon:
Defender of Nerosyan (Overwhelming Victory): The city of Nerosyan stands in part because of your actions, and Queen Galfrey herself has taken note.

I'll get chronicles out Tuesday, but feel free to go ahead and get your characters updated if you are considering hopping into something else soon. I hope you all enjoyed this scenario as it was both the first special I played in and still quite possibly my favorite of them. I hope I did it justice for you as my GM did for me years back when it was just released.
