Well dang. I was hoping that with those sucky rolls most would miss. But Vladek has a n AC of 17? Ouch. Sorry about that. Bauble can't do squat against the big guy, but he can tear his poor friend apart.
Nooo, with mage armor and haste, my AC is presently 22.
Assuming that first attack was in fact rerolled, it looks to me like you only hit once. ^^

@Party: How close to exactly can we deduce Koth'Vaul's SR, by this point?
Also, what's that blue burst encompassing the Vrock there, or that big green dotted area for that matter?

Camera, can you 5’ step and get a full attack in? If he doesn’t teleport away, this might be our best and only chance to full attack him.
Vladek Odradek

...Anyone have a way to push/pull him down, then?

I've got 10' reach at the moment, which isn't enough. Alie, if you have any spells you'd rather cast, sound off. I'll draw his AoO, as my movement stops if I fail to tumble anyway. I'll layer up my defenses, hope he misses once, get two attempts to stagger him, then hope he misses some more.

Do you have flight right now, Valrar? If not, I could cast fly on you defensively, which I think is an auto success. He’d hit me next round and probably kill me, but I think the only way we are going to win is for you to be able to full attack him. I can afford a body retrieval.
Oh GM, I just realized that I have three mirror images left. It’s probably too late to retcon for the last two blows he landed on me, but I just noticed those images were still up.

Sad to say, he can see right through any illusions, including the mirror images or any invisibility spells.

I've got flight already. We can't teleport me over to him, it seems, so I'll need to get over there and endure at least a round.
I've posted my action, I'm pretty sure it's one of the best possible and I have to go to work. I may be able to respond throughout the day if needed.

Retreat means rinse and repeat (if he doesn't hunt us down) - probably without the blood/heart mythic bonuses.
I am still curious if stopping the cultists did something at least.

To answer this question...
Yes it has had a significant impact. Firstly getting rid of them reduces the number of successes you need to be in control of the plane. If they were still around then this last roll would have been a tie and both sides could do something.
Secondly, he has stored three wish spells as contingencies in them. Each could have been used to remove one condition from him automatically. You can be sure all those negative levels would have gone away.
In hard mode he also has a shield other effect with two of them.

As a player, it would have been far more suitable had Bauble been the one stuck down there. I was thinking that will all the high level scenarios being so anti elemental damage, I might use other characters for seeker games anyway. I hope it doesn't such too much to lose Valrar as a playable character.

I'm not incredibly fussed about losing Valrar. He's one of my two seekers, I think; the other one's Chronicles are all over the place. But I only play 1E online now, and there's plenty more scenarios for me. I knew what would likely happen when I ate the heart, I know people with retired characters but I've never seen it happen. (It was either going to be that or a most unwelcome deprivation of player agency, which I figured wouldn't happen.) Sorry if I stole the opportunity, Bauble, didn't look like you wanted it character-wise and I assumed that extended to OOC.
I'd also call this about as good of a canon ending as Valrar will get (though I don't know every single retirement possibility). Pathfinder work was a lot less storybook heroics than he expected. A big slew of other PC deaths later on added to that nosedive. He ended up swearing fealty to Lamashtu so the demons would come at him instead of allies (and got a very nice critical feat for it, too). Now he's paying for all that, doing some good, and has a very slight shot at redemption.

No problems here. I only lamented because I didn't want to see you disappointed by an enforced and early retirement.

Jeez-Louise!!! What a thing to come back to after a day-and-a-half's plane travel!

Should we make day job rolls?
Valrar Altimari II

Oh my.
That's a boon, all right.
I have some questions there. I looked on a few threads, though not the GM one, and couldn't find all the answers I was after. Any idea where I could direct those?
Also, I earned that 100 GP, and I'm proud to have it on my sheet!

Thanks for running the game for us, GM! That will no doubt be one of the more memorable scenarios I have ever played in!

In terms of domains and favored weapons, use Deskari's. Simple enough. But my biggest question is whose alignment should I use? If Deskari, then I'm limited to CN characters, and must channel negative energy. But if I use Valrar's CN alignment, I can be CG, CN, or N, and can choose which energy I channel. That is, if the demon lord thing doesn't skew it towards negative.
Valrar Altimari II

Sounds like a plan! I've already got some dumb, dumb character concepts in mind, and I should get clarification before I get any more attached.

Ugh, now I'm a bit hesitant. I've marked it as a spoiler and most of the text is inside one, but when I hovered over the thread, it displayed some of that text. I deleted the post after checking, but can repost it whenever. Any way to work around that, or is it not as big of an issue as I think? I really don't want to put that up when I shouldn't and get in trouble.

And just after the 1-hour editing window, situation resolved. Answer is pending, but I posted it.
