Judging their enemies to be substantial, Niksi begins singing, matching it with a dance.

Urged on by the son, Unset rushes into the room, determined to keep the large-winged thing from harming the others.
Stride


A Time of Crisis || Extinction Curse

The xulgath casts a spell at Rova! He then casts shield to protect himself.

DC 24 Fort save for Rova:

Blindness!
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is blinded until its next turn begins.
Failure The target is blinded for 1 minute.
Critical Failure The target is blinded permanently.

The winged demon lets out a blood-curdling screech! Everyone in the room, including the xulgath, must attempt a DC 28 Fort save! Stunned 2 on a fail, Stunned 3 on a crit fail

Fort save for Kalagash: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

You see Kalagash place his hands on his ears and give the demon a dirty look.

The creature then tries to bite Unset.

beak: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 4, 7) + 9 = 24 plus evil: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Ouch, 50 point crit!

It then flies to the opposite corner, where it lands.

Provokes from Unset

Everyone is up! Remember your bonus from Niksi's song if you are making a save!

"What an awful thing!" Kennari takes a moment to try and remember anything he might have learned about these creatures, then calls out to the winged monstrosity:

"କୁକୁଡ଼ା କାହିଁକି ରାସ୍ତା ପାର ହେଲା?...ଟ୍ରାଫିକକୁ ବକ୍ କରିବା ପାଇଁ!"

Unset is stunned by the cry and stands near motionless.

Regaining his senses, he approaches the winged monster.

Kennari isn't sure what flavor of demon this is, but he figures that everyone appreciates a good joke. The creature starts rolling around laughing.

Rova keeps her vision but can't withstand the screech!

Thkrull moves in, and Kennari's funny joke keeps the demon from lashing out.

Prism and Unset similarly can't help reacting to the sound!

Luckily, stunned goes away after your turn.

A Time of Crisis || Extinction Curse

The xulgath, stunned, can only cast shield.

The demon bites at Unset once, then moves toward the hallway for a good look at the wizard stopping him from doing his dance of ruin.

beak: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 6, 3) + 9 = 22 plus evil: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Uh-oh. You may have bitten off more than you can chew this time, Kennari.

Looking nervously at the approaching demon, Kennari maintains concentration on his magical humor, then fires off a new punchline from his staff, in the form of an glowing green arrow!

◆Sustain hideous laughter, ◆◆Cast acid arrow from staff.

I believe it is correct: +9 unarmored defense; +3 Dex. I could use a reaction for uncanny dodge, but I think I'd rather take the AoO.

"Get him, Thkrull!" Rova calls, before shifting her attention to the demon. Ripping her fork from its sheath, she stabs furiously!

Thkrull trumpets in triump as he stomps and stabs at the stinky thing that the shiny thing has caught between them. He's too busy being proud of himself to pay attention to what he's doing, however. I assume neither of those hit, even vs. flat-footed

Prism bursts forth from her invisibility in a flash of brilliant colors. Her sickle streaks from the air like some sort of rainbow as it slashes into the xulgath.

Rova hisses as the spores burn her, though she's able to avoid the worst of it. She had enough experience growing up to know what a vrock can do. She calls out again to Thkrull to get the demon as she fires a couple more arrows at it.

Thkrull grumbles as his halfling changes her mind on what to kill first. He trumpets in fury at the stinky thing, so it knows he's not afraid of it and will be back in a minute, then rears around and charges toward the demon, crushing it with his foot.

Kennari quakes but, eyeing the charging elephant behind the demon, holds his ground. He focuses on the joke still ringing around the demon's mind, then casts a pair of defensive wards to protect himself and Niksi.

Seeing that the Xulgath is well in hand Prism skips off to try and take a few swipes at the demon as a magical gauntlet rails her in the back. "Ouch!" She ducks and slashes through the door at the demon, keeping her eyes on the Xulgath.

"Are you OK, Unset? Do you need help?" Rova calls as she shifts her attention to the xulgath.

"Help him, Thkrull!" she calls, firing an arrow to show the pachyderm the type of help she wants.

Rova hits the xulgath with an arrow, and then Prism finishes him off with a powerful attack!

The room is trashed, but with a little time, you may be able to find some treasures.

"Oh, look at what I found, Kennari," Rova says, holding the stole out for him to analyze.

She starts tending everyone's wounds as he looks over the items they found.

Prism wipes her sickle free. "Wow Kennari! Thatoversized..vulturereally..likedyou." She looks around to see what Rova and the rest find lying about.

Kennari closes his eyes for a moment, lets out a long breath, then shudders. "It very much did not, and that terrified me. I thought for sure--ooh, what is it?" He is quickly distracted from the memory of his fear as he rushes over to examine the stole Rova found. "My, what a beautiful piece! You see this?" he says, pointing to words embroidered into each side of the stole in golden thread. "That's a litany about the nobility of mankind. A little heavy-handed, if I'm honest, but fascinating nonetheless. It seems to have some magic about it too, both divination and abjuration." He quickly launches into a short lecture on the history of such stoles, and the benefits, both magical and cultural they historically lent to their wearers.

"Are you OK, Unset? Do you need help?" Rova calls as she shifts her attention to the xulgath.

"Been better, I has. But, don't wish t' trouble ye," Unset responds.

Catching his breath after the xulgath falls, he searches around and finds a jar of luminescent paste.

"Don't worry about ole Unset, none. I'll be fine," he says, sitting down to tend to his injuries. Rather than ask for aid, he silently peers into the jar, considering whether to apply its contents to his aching form.

"Oh, no, I can help you," Rova says, pulling out her tools. I think we'll take our usual time to heal up.

"I wonder if there are more xulgaths and demons down here..."

Moved Thkrull to the next spot I think we should head when we're ready and our internets are all working.


A Time of Crisis || Extinction Curse

After healing everyone's wounds and searching for intact relics, including a beautiful platinum holy symbol of Aroden that Niksi finds, the party moves onward.

The double door to this large, open crypt leads to a
small balcony and a short flight of stairs. The stone railing on the balcony has been knocked onto the floor a few feet below. Several metal slabs protrude a few inches above the floor, each bearing a life‑sized representation of a reclining human priest. That the slabs cover graves is obvious, as three of the lids have been torn from the ground to reveal shallow pits.

One xulgath is riding atop an enormous triceratops outfitted with a harness. She urges the dinosaur to pull the stone slab off one of the crypts as two other xulgaths look on.

Kennari takes a moment to quickly assess how robust the stonework within looks, then sighs and mutters an incantation, flinging a small red bead of fiery energy into the room where it explodes in a ball of fire! He then casts a defensive aura that envelops the space around him.

Once the flames have subsided, the fleshforged man rushes into the room, attempting to slide beneath the dinosaur.

Meanwhile, Prism starts slashing at the dinosaur, badly cutting it!
