Jaya flits across the floor, ducking behind the corner of a wall and unleashing an inferno to the north! Hitting all six of them
Empowered Fireball: 15d5 + 15 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 1, 5, 1, 1, 2, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 1) + 15 = 52 DC 21 Reflex for 1/2

Croquelle Andosana |
Croq begins to sing of glory, while willing her magic surfboardcarpet to float over beside Aurealia, ready to hammer the first person that comes by.
As she flies the ghosts of the Rodricks fly about her more fervently than ever.
Raging Song (for any who accept it):
* +6 STR & CON, +5 Will; -1 AC
* Spirit Totem: 20% miss chance vs attacks from foes who aren't adjacent to you (reach, range)
* Clear Mind: 1/song, you can use an immed action to reroll a failed Will save

Round 1
PCs
Team Galatea
Galatea's chanting indicates that she casts a spell on Cheshire. A second later, a cloudy vapor begins to hover around Cheshire's teeth and claws. With a mighty growl, the tigress accepts the now familiar effects of Croq's war song and advances to intercept any enemies from the south.
Blade Tutor's Spirit. No Power Attack penalties for Cheshire!
Cheshire Readied Bite v. Blue Vermin (Croq Song. Haste): 1d20 + 12 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 3 + 1 = 25

Blue Vermin Bite v. Cheshire: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Orange Vermin v. Cheshire: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
The two sickly "rats" to the south rush at Cheshire and attempt to bite her. She manages to bat their strikes away with her big paws and then chomps down on one in retaliation. All in all, the battle seems to be playing out as most fights do when cats and rats fight: the feline almost always wins.
Blank Cultist Action: 1d100 ⇒ 90 Attacks Red Cultist.
Mwk Halberd v. Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Mwk Halberd v. Cheshire: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Kallie's earlier spell completely neutralizes the effectiveness of the cultists attacking from the south.
Round 2
Northwestern Goons
The cultists directly to the north of you manage to break down the door... only to receive a Farwynd Fireball for their efforts!
Red Vermin Reflex - DC 21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Green Vermin Reflex - DC 21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Red-Blue Cultist Reflex - DC 21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Only one of them manages to survive the spell, managing to jump enough to avoid the worst of the explosion. Nonetheless, he keeps pressing the attack. The sole survivor moves into the building and tries casting a spell on the only visible target: Croq!
Croq needs to make a DC 15 Will Save or be paralyzed for three rounds.
Northeastern Goons
You heard the sound of the door to the northeast fail, and several of Leptonia's minions soon spill into the room!

You all are up! Croq needs to make a DC 15 Will Save or be paralyzed for three rounds.
Croquelle Andosana |
Will+raging,hope: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 18
If it weren't for her song, the Croq might've been frozen in place...but the POWER OF METAL flows through her and she shakes off the enchantment entirely.
She flies over their heads and swings Drumstick down onto the rat-thing closest to her.
Drumstick (raging) +haste,GH,higher-PA): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 31

Aurealia steps around the corner and tries to trip the rat thing that Croq didn't hit.
Trip on Purple or Pink: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 23

Kallie Silversun |
"We should fall back!" Kallie says, prancing back toward the stairs. "Leptonia won't show her face if we're too effective," she whispers.
Full withdraw to the stairs
Jaya Farwynd |
Jaya sighs but sees the sense in Kallie's plan. "Fine." She snaps her fingers and vanishes.
Flying out of that space, but can't use the map right now

Croq Will Save - DC 9 (GH): 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 = 28
While the appearance of the sickly spider rats would probably unnerve some people, Aurealia and Croquelle are so empowered by Croq and Roll that they easily disregard it. Aurealia manages to trip her foe, though she finds the creature oddly resilient to her follow-up strike. Thanks to the Drumstick's enchantments, however, Croq doesn't seem to have the same issue and squishes her opponent like a bug.
Team Galatea

More chanting from Galatea can be heard from the southern door, a telltale sign of another buff for Cheshire. Speaking of whom, the feline growls and attacks the two spider rats before her. The large fine swiftly dispatches them both.
Southern Goons
Blank Cultist Confusion Action: 1d100 ⇒ 61 Attacks self.
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

1 - Cheshire, 2 - Blank Cultist: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Attacks Cheshire.
Mwk Halberd v. Cheshire: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Miss.
Kallie's earlier spell largely neutralizes the effectiveness of the cultists attacking from the south. One manages to collect himself enough to attack Cheshire. However, his weapon just bounces off of a seemingly invisible forcefield protecting the tigress.
Round 3
Northern Goons
Purple - Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 = 12
Purple Vermin Bite v. Croq: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Red-Orange Cultist Halberd v. Aurealia: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Red-Green Cultist Halberd v. Croq: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
The survivor of Jaya's Fireball heals himself. Instead of attacking Aurealia, the surviving spider rat opts to bite Croq in the ankle. One of the cultists hangs back and tries casting another spell on Croq. Two more of the cultists prove to be bolder and move to attack the Andosana siblings. Only the strike against Croq finds purchase, but the cultist cackles sinisterly upon seeing his attack hit...
PCs
You all are up!
Aurealia gets an AoO against the Red-Orange cultist.
Croq needs to make a DC 11 Fort save. If she fails, she'll be infested by the sickly spider rate's otherworldly spores and become entangled. Croq also needs to make a DC 15 Will save or be paralyzed for three rounds. Finally, Croq needs to make a DC 18 Fort save or contract the Polymorph Plague...
Aurealia Andosana |
Trip AOO on Red Orange: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 24

Aurealia spins her polearm with alacrity and skill, trying to trip the oncoming cultists, and then leveling two heavy blows at the spider-rat thing.
Croquelle Andosana |
With the power of rock, Croquelle manages to shake off the worst from her attackers, and indeed her wounds begin to heal somewhat.
With a song of righteous fury, she continues attempting to pound the attackers into paste.

Jaya Farwynd |
Jaya calls down the stairs to "Just sing out if you need more fire support," then hunkers down for a potential second wave.
Delaying, but fine skipping the turn if it comes to that.
Kallie Silversun |
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Kallie pauses, checking the second floor and also listening for any activity on the third.
Also good to skip the turn if there's nothing immediately threatening
Kallie Silversun |
"I hear something on the third floor! Hurry!" Kallie shouts down to the fighters on the first floor. Then she moves upstairs.
Move upstairs (hopefully within my hasted movement of 80') and save my standard action for whatever I see
Cosmic Dungeon Lord |
Round 3
PCs
Aurealia easily trips her attacker. After that, she skewers the remaining spider rat dead and then heavily injuries the cultist attacking her sister. Speaking of whom, Croq easily dispatches the two goons before her with Drumstick.
Kallie hastily heads up the stairs to the third floor but doesn't notice anything in the main hallway.
I made a mistake in the original description I gave you; "footsteps" should have just been "disturbance" instead.

Invisible footsteps suggest that Gali is heading up the stairs to assist Kallie and Jaya. Meanwhile, Cheshire brutally dispatches two of the cultists. The first gets his throat ripped out by Cheshire's teeth, while the other gets his face sliced apart by her massive claws.

Seemingly without any regard for their lives, the two remaining cultists the north charge at Croq. Well, three, as another one rushes into the main room at the same time. Regardless, one of the cultists manages to cut Croq's arm with his halberd.
PCs
You all are up! Croq needs to make a DC 18 Fort save or contract the Polymorph Plague...
Aurealia Andosana |
Aurealia steps behind Croq, then through a dimensional rift and into the doorway behind the cultists from where she continues to trip and stab them!
Stepping to the right to get LOS and the dimensional sliding.

Wind whistling behind her, Jaya hastily soars up the stares, delaying any delightfully dangerous dweomers until she can see what the disturbance portends.
Croquelle Andosana |
Mirror Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attacker hit? (1=me): 1d7 ⇒ 1 Doh! I think we both forgot I had Mirror Images up...and apparently I never rolled for how many images. Shall we just assume that previous rounds all successfully hit me through them? In that case, the one near miss this round would reduce me to 6 left.
Fort(adjacent to sis): 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19 That was a close one!
Croquelle feels the nick of a blade cutting past her shimmering doubles and drawing blood. She feels for a moment that she might truly get sick this time, but again THE POWER OF ROCK triumphs.
She attempts to quickly take out the cultists assaulting her, so that she can head upstairs after Kallie calls down.

Aurealia trips her opponent and then stabs him in the back. The man lets out a scream, only for Croq's great club to reduce his head to chunky salsa. Croq then swiftly dispatches the other cultist with brutal ease.

To south, Cheshire pounces on one of the confounded cultists and tears the man limb from limb. Meanwhile, footsteps can be heard going up the stairs. Alas, the source of them isn't very obvious.
"Hi, Kallie. It's just me."
Gali seems to settle right behind you.
Southern Group
Blue Cultist Confusion Action: 1d100 ⇒ 15

It's suddenly eerily quiet on the third floor...
Round 5
The Second Wave: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
The Northern Sole Survivor
Aurealia, Croq, and Cheshire can hear more voices approaching from the darkness outside, specifically to the north. As for the sole surviving cultist in that area, he steps away from Aurealia's immense reach and tries casting a spell on her. He doesn't appear even slightly phased by how easily his comrades were just dispatched.
PCs
You all are up! Aurealia needs to make a DC 15 Will save or be paralyzed for three rounds. For the group on third floor, Kallie heard the disturbance coming from one of the southeastern rooms.
Aurealia Andosana |

Aurealia shakes off the spell, steps forward and thrusts twice into the cultist.

Jaya nudges open the nearby door, making certain no one is slipping around their defenses.
Cosmic Dungeon Lord |
Round 5
In the northern front of the fight, Aurealia swiftly dispatches the final cultist.
Two of them in particular stand out. The first is a flying mass of twisted flesh, grinning teeth, and tendrils. The other is a female half-elf with chalk white hair, intense crimson eyes, and scarred purple flesh. Wielding a halberd, she is dressed in militaristic-style clothing, armor adorned with the now familiar unholy symbol of Yamasoth, and furs.
Her lackeys seem more formidable than the mooks the Andosans siblings were slaughtering downstairs.
1d100 ⇒ 53
Thankfully, due to the supernaturally imposed Silence, they don't seem to notice the door suddenly opening.
Jaya's Spellcraft is high enough that she'd automatically recognize the effect as the Silence spell. You can make a DC 16 Will save to resist the effects. You can make a Knowledge (Planes) check to identify the creature.
Jaya Farwynd |
Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
"Oh drat. Behind! Behind!" she cries. "They have a-"
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
Cosmic Dungeon Lord |
Between the two of you, I'm going to say you essentially know everything about them.
Croquelle Andosana |
Croq sees Aurelia take down the last cultist and whoops with pride. "Way to go, sib! Now, hopefully Cheshire can take whoever's coming next. Whaddaya say we run upstairs and see why Kallie called out like that.
"Hopefully Leptonia didn't get past us. I'd hate to not have an Andosana deliver the final blow to her!"
Croc hops off of her carpet, tucks it in her bag, and takes off running toward the staircase.
Jaya Farwynd |
"They have a Nyogoth! It's filled with acid so keep your distance if you can. It doesn't have a mind that works like ours, so Kallie should focus on the cultists." Jaya finishes.
She greases the ground beneath her and floats out of the way, keeping her magic from directly impacting the cultists to preserve her invisibility.
Kallie Silversun |
"Wonderful," Kallie groans. She moves a few steps back to stay out of the range of the silence spell and readies a potent spell to hit the first being that looks like it's not inherently immune.
Readying dominate person, on the first person that comes out the door. Spending an arcane point to up the DC to 23.

Damage (PA, GH, Croq Song): 1d6 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 18
The final cultist facing Cheshire never stood a chance. The tigress lets out a mighty roar before pouncing on the confused man. His agonized screams briefly echoed throughout the Zincher estate before silence reigns a second later.
As for Galatea, she decides to follow Kallie's lead and readies a spell for the first foe to step through the door...

Round 5
Leptonia's Group
Down on the first floor, a flying mass of twisted flesh, grinning teeth, and tendrils suddenly appears a little ways from Aurealia and slowly turns in her direction...
Upstairs, a female half-elf with chalk white hair, intense crimson eyes, and scarred purple flesh strides into the hall. Wielding a halberd, she is dressed in militaristic-style clothing, armor adorned with the now familiar unholy symbol of Yamasoth, and furs. She walks right over Jaya's Grease without a care in the world. She turns toward Kallie and grins wickedly at her. However...
Leptonia Will Save - DC 23: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
Leptonia Fort Save - DC 19: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30
Her eyes glaze over as Kallie's spell takes hold!
Red Reflex - DC 18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Blue Reflex - DC 18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
(As for her goons, they fall flat on their faces like two villains from Gali's The Gallant Garland serials. Only Jaya sees this, though. Speaking of whom, Galatea's invisibility breaks.)
The Second Wave
Down on the first floor, the second wave of cultists approaches. Even at a glance, Aurealia can tell that they're almost certainly more competent than the last batch. Thankfully, they still have a ways to go before reaching the tenement proper.
Round 6
By my count, Jaya has one round of Vanish left, and everyone has two rounds of Haste left.
PCs
You all are up!
Aurealia Andosana |
Finding herself suddenly quite outnumbered, Aurealia backs up into the stairwell and readies herself to trip (and/or stab) the first thing that comes in after her.
Trip if it's something walking:
Trip on: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 24
Attack on: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 211d10 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 2 = 28
These are assuming I'm still getting raging song.
Kallie Silversun |
2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Kallie stifles a giggle when Leptonia succumbs to her spell. She immediately crooks a finger, beckoning her new thrall to come and stand beside her. "Ah, Leptonia, we have so much to discuss. Let's watch and see how your minions fare, shall we?"
Jaya Farwynd |
Jaya's smile at Kallie's success is nearly enough to illuminate the room - despite her invisibility.
Well that greatly simplifies matters
Flying to relative safety, Jaya withdraws her favorite rod from her haversack and unleashes a remarkably contained fountain of fire, rather than simply setting their host's manor alight.
Empowered Burning Arc @ Red: 15d6 + 15 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 5, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 5, 6, 2, 3) + 15 = 58 Reflex DC 20 for 1/2
Empowered Burning Arc @ Blue: 7d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 2, 6, 6, 2) + 7 = 31 Reflex DC 18 for 1/2
Croquelle Andosana |
Croq continues running up the stairs, and elbows past Kallie to stand between her and the foes up there.
"What did I m--Whoa!! Nice one, Kallie!"
Move: as shown, to get up stairs
Stnd: Ready to swing at first foe to approach. (I'll take Kallie's lead as to whether or not to swing at Leptonia, if she's the first to approach.
Drumstick (raging) +haste,GH,higher-PA): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 28
Damage+GH,PA: 1d10 + 19 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 2 + 6 = 30
Kallie Silversun |
"No! Don't attack her!" Kallie shouts at Croq when she starts winding up a big swing at Leptonia. "I've got her! Go after the qlippoth!"

Round 6
PCs
Red Reflex - DC 20: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Blue Reflex - DC 18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Having fallen flat on their faces, neither of Leptonia's bodyguards manages to dodge Jaya's fiery spell. Unlike their companions downstairs, though, they survive the blast and (assuming they can get past the Grease) still remain a threat. Granted, the one who took the full brunt of Jaya's spell probably won't be surviving another volley of similar strength.
Team Galatea
Galatea Will Save - DC 16: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Defensive Casting - DC 19: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Red Will Save - DC 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Downstairs, Cheshire begins sniffing the air for Galatea's scent. She follows the trail back into the main room, where she sees a scary monster and several angry people approaching. Seeing no allies nearby that need her help, Cheshire prioritizes reuniting with Galatea, who she suspects might be upstairs.
Speaking of whom, Gali steps forward to assist Jaya. With Leptonia neutralized, she focuses on incapacitating the cult leader's bodyguards. Galatea shrugs off the enforced zone of silence, but alas, her target isn't affected by her spell.
Leptonia's Group
Leptonia doesn't actually hear Kallie's order, but she recognizes the "Come here" gesture. Having been warned by Kallie, Croq refrains from bonking the cult leader upside the head. Following the order to the best of her ability, Leptonia settles behind Kallie.
With only one viable target nearby, the nyogoth sets its sights on Aurealia. The creature lazily flies closer to her but remains just out reach. It then hurls a blob of acid at Aurealia, which hits her in the leg and immediately starts burning her.
Aurealia Acid Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
There's no save for this spell.
Red Acrobatics - DC 10: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (3) - 7 = -4
Blue Acrobatics - DC 10: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (12) - 7 = 5
Leptonia's bodyguards try standing up but just fall flat on their faces again.
The Second Wave
The remaining six cultists hustle into Zincher's tenement. Thankfully for Aurealia, they're too winded to immediately attack her. That said, they all focus their attention on her and ready their weapons to attack.
Round 7
PCs
The qlippoth's magical acid continues to burn Aurealia.
Aurealia Acid Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
You all are up!
Aurealia Andosana |
Aurealia turns and sprints up the stairs, trying to reunite with her companions.
Double move 120'. Looks like I end up on the stairs below Chesire?
Croquelle Andosana |
"...Go after the qlippoth..." That must be what Jaya's got cornered in that room there.
Still singing, Croq hops back on her carpet to avoid the grease, calls out "Duck, Gal!", and surfs over her teammate's head. Seeing two people on the floor, she warns, "This is the end for you two qlippoth!" and swings at the one with the heavier burns.
Drumstick (raging) +haste,GH,higher-PA): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29
Damage+GH,PA: 1d10 + 19 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 2 + 6 = 37
Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
She feels something trying to silence her Song, but it's nothing compared to the Power of Metal.
Jaya Farwynd |
Jaya flits down the stairs to join Aurealia, greasing the ground before the stairs to aid the Andosana sister in her defense of the upper floors.
Kallie Silversun |
Kallie watches with amusement as Leptonia's henchmen fall down again to the grease spell. "Good help is so hard to find, wouldn't you agree?" she asks her dominated subject. "Go ahead, answer me honestly. Where did you find these people? How do you recruit for a cult like Yamasoth?"
Aurealia Andosana |
Jaya flits down the stairs to join Aurealia, greasing the ground before the stairs to aid the Andosana sister in her defense of the upper floors.
"Hey. Everything okay up here?" Aurealia asks her friend, smiling on seeing that she's alive.

Round 7

"Kaer Maga," Leptonia remarks without missing a beat. "You'd be surprised at how... receptive people there can be to our cause."
Team Galatea
Cheshire comes barreling up the stairs. Seeing Kallie speaking amicably with Leptonia, she does not attack the cult leader and heads straight for Galatea. Gali gently pats the tigress on the head and then asks her to help Croq with the "qlippoth" problem. Cheshire slips right under Croq's magic carpet but somehow avoids slipping on the Grease!
Gali just cast Air Walk on her.
Cheshire Haste Bite v. Red Cultist (GH, Croq Song, Haste): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 19
Unfortunately, the cramped quarters throws off Cheshire's bite.
Leptonia's Group
Red Halberd v. Croq (Prone, PA): 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 26
Crit Confirm? (Prone, PA): 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 6 = 25
Red Halberd v. Croq (Prone): 1d20 + 7 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 4 - 2 = 4
Blue Halberd v. Cheshire (Prone, PA): 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 14
Blue Halberd v. Cheshire (Prone): 1d20 + 7 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 4 - 2 = 19
Leptonia's bodyguards decide to go down fighting. Despite being on death's door, the most injured one manages to stab Croq in the gut through sheer dumb luck. However, her second strike misses, and her companion's efforts to attack Cheshire prove to be fruitless against the tigress' many defenses.
Meanwhile, the nyogoth leads the charge to the second floor.
The Second Wave
The six remaining cultists begin hustling their way up the stairs.
Round 8
PCs
Aurealia Acid Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
The qlippoth's magical acid continues to burn Aurealia, whose Haste spell has also expired.
You all are up! Croq needs to make a DC 18 Fort save or contract the Polymorph Plague...
Aurealia Andosana |
Aurealia casts shield on herself.

"You'd be surprised at how... receptive people there can be to our cause."
"Oh! My friend has spent some time in Kaer Maga. Interesting. So, what's the reason behind trying to unleash a plague like this? I get why Yamasoth might want to -- who can fathom the mind of a Qlippoth lord -- but what is your reason? Why the hate for normal society?"
Croquelle Andosana |
Images (1=me): 1d6 ⇒ 4
Croq sees the qlippoth take a mighty swing of his halbred and for a moment thinks she's going to take a nasty hit...but suddenly he swerves to hit the illusory double beside her.
She interrupts her raging song for a quick, "Ha! Guessed wrong, qlippah!", before swinging again with drumstick.

Aim for the injured one first. Move on if I take him down.
