Kenta Faux

Kenta feels the blessing course through his body. His confidence in destroying evil is EVEN MORE than usual, "Feels good! Let's go kill this fiend!" He pulls out his sword and leads them out to the cauldron room.
Musing to himself, "It sure would be cool if we could somehow dump that pot of burning goo on it..." He shakes his head and then feels a small vial in his pocket from earlier, "Oh yeah." He pulls it out and readies to drink it when the enemy is seen.
Not really a 'readied' action, just planning his surprise round action (drink potion of magic fang) if he gets one.
I see two options. One, we all start below and when it comes down to us we all flee up top and break the chain, dumping the stuff on the critter. This does have the risk of the critter coming in and dumping it all on us first though. Second, we could just set up top and try to tank & spank it to death.

"Fly, you fools, fly!" cries Valais as she flees through the door into the larvae chamber.
Kenta - receives Heroism, draws potion of magic fang, moves to upper platform
Onna - casts Heroism from scroll
Hiiragi - (preparing a PFE)
Toshi -
Itami - casts mage armour (preparing to vanish)
Everyone except Kenta, please position yourselves as you wish. You have 2 rounds worth of movement (or other actions).
The complex shudders again. The papers on Thurl's desk moulder into dust. Blood runs down the walls.
Toshiko

Toshi is just bobbing along in the current.
Toshi has a knife in hand and look around nervously. What is going on here? Is that blood? Great. Now the walls are bleeding.
Itami

Itami follows Kenta back up. "Ready to destroy some Evil then?"

Kenta nods to the old man-fox, ”Always!”
| GM supervillan |
Onna will start Insire Courage and then the next round she will cast Vanish or CLW on Hiiragi (her choice).
You want to stay where you are or join the men-folk on the platform? (What's a male fox called?)

A “tod,” actually—hence the Fox and the Hound’s protagonist!
Hiiragi will follow the group!
| GM supervillan |
As Hiiragi and Toshiko bring up the rear and head into the imps' chamber, there's a loud CRAAACCCKKK! as the heavy wooden desk splits down the middle. A hole opens up - a hole to another place.
The mere view of the other place is disturbing; trees that are twisted and black, bearing grotesque fruits that look more animal than plant; half-human things that squirm across the red, pulsating ground; the air, orange and grey and thick with a rancid smoke, is filled with the sounds of screaming, and the cries of enormous predatory birds. And gazing back at you through the hole is a giant multi-limbed monstrosity that closely resembles the fiendish statuette that was sat on the desk.
The creature holds what looks like a human female in a huge lobster-like claw. It opens a dog-like many-fanged maw and speaks: "આહ, પોર્ટલ ખુલી ગયો છે. થ્રલને મુલાકાત ચૂકવવાનો સમય"
With a second pincer, the huge creature cuts the woman in two, her remains falling to the undulating ground to be swallowed up by alien mouths. It approaches the portal - and you realise how massive the creature is as one of the pincers reaches through...
Hiiragi: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Kenta: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Onna: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Itami: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Toshiko: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 -2 if out of panache

Itami wipes his face. "I'll be damned... Kenta, I don't know what that is, but I am doubtful that we will live to destroy more evil if we tangle with that," he warns. "Quickly! Move!" he shouts to the others still dallying in the office.
________
Holy hell that's the claw? Moved a little. Readied to move with Kenta, whatever direction he takes!

Kenta holds the line, "HOLY SHIII..."
He looks at the rest of the group nodding at Itami, "Yeah uh, get out of there! I'll hold the line here if it comes after us." He slams back the vial, drops it to the floor and holds his sword with two hands again.
Kenta is planning to flee, but only after the group gets past him.
| GM supervillan |
Valais wastes no time in beating a retreat, though you hear her two demonic voices arguing as she runs.
Onna and Toshiko are up!
Sionnach 'Onna' Brummagem

Perception: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
"Uh...doesn't that seems a little too big? Like, impossibly so? How can it hope to reach us?"
Trying to buy Tosh some time, Onna fires off a shot.
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
How can that be real?
Will vs Illusion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Maybe a bonus for interacting with it?
| GM supervillan |
Onna, you don't have line of sight to shoot from your present position. (I'm fine with general reactions to the portal and fiend's appearance since it can all be described by Hiiragi and Toshiko as they exit the study).
Toshiko
|
What in Gorum's sweaty loincloth is that? Toshi shouts as her head appears through the door, followed rapidly by the rest of her.
| GM supervillan |
As you take up defensive positions, or run like hell, the creature comes through the portal. There are sounds of crashing and crunching of wood, a bestial, thunderous growl.
Thurl, you fragrant elf-fart, you put my figurine in a tiny hole! Where are you hiding, blossom, we have much to discuss.
The voice reverberates through your heads.
Valais continues her flight. From her direction you hear her scream.
Hiiragi: 1d20 + 7 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 10 = 32
Kenta: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Onna: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Kenta looks back and forth between Hiiragi, the vanishing voice of Itami and the other two foxes still in the room, "Uh..."
Delay
Hiiragi

Hiiragi will wait until she and Kenta are the last ones in the room, then bolt. Dragging Kenta with her if he plants his feet :P
Sionnach 'Onna' Brummagem

Onna heads up the stairs. To the team, "Be careful. I heard the Valais voices argue with each other about 'killing them'! Pretty sure that's us. We should be alert and stay together. I will check on Itami."
Double Move.

Kenta yells down to the last fox, "TOSHIKO! ARE YOU OKAY?!? YOU ONLY MOVED A SHORT DISTANCE AND WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU. IS IT MIND CONTROLLING YOU? USE THE CODE WORD IF SO!"
We should really actually create a code word for this kind of thing, I hope my trick will work though if she is being controlled.
Sionnach 'Onna' Brummagem
|
The bard's eyes go wide. Oh Hells Bells! We DO have a code. Aw piss and vinegar! What am I supposed to do?
She leans down toward Itami, "Psst! Hey, what's a banana!"
Kenta Faux
|
”Yes.”
Kenta moves out of the room.
| GM supervillan |
I love all the 'code word' chat! "mango or banana?" :-D
Hiiragi waits for Toshiko who toys with a knife as she looks to and fro.
m2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

11 damage to Valais (34/45)
v f: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Screaming and sounds of combat are audible from the direction of the laboratory.
The stone wall separating the imps' chamber from the study crumbles as the huge fiend simply smashes it down and pulls its way through.
Its dog-like jaws slaver and drool.

Officially, no Inspire Courage is up at the moment. Rather fitting with all the running away for our lives.

Kenta moves down the hall assuming his allies will follow as everyone has indicated they plan to run and that's good enough for him.
He seems confused a bit by Onna's code word, "Pears? We don't have time to make preserves!!!"
Hiiragi

”I think she means we need to preserve OURSELVES!” hollers Hiiragi as she runs.

As Itami rounds the corner and looks into the first chamber of this hidden laboratory he sees Valais being attacked by two grotesque creatures. The green glass columns have shattered, covering the floor with thick, jagged shards, and the beasts that they held now assail Valais, who desperately tries to shield herself with her arms and has already sustained an injury.
m1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
m2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
s1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
s2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Valais fends off another flurry of attacks. One of the assailants has the body of a beautiful woman, stitched together with short, ugly clawed arms, and in place of her head are six impish faces that gaze in all directions. The second creature has the lower body of a serpent, a worm-like segmented torso, and six arms from a variety of demonic creatures. The stench of the grave is strong.

The huge fiend teleports atop the platform and squeezes along, its claws and pincers gouging long lines in the stone.

Damn! Hearing his allies coming up behind him, he back pedals. "If you're done making a bloody fruit salad, we've demons blocking our exit! Kenta, front and center with your sword at the ready!"

Visible again! Y'all are a riot :) It seemed unlikely for Itami to have heard the context of the fruits, so he has a different perspective though ;)

The young fox seems a bit stressed when he replies, "I don't know, I never learned to spell well!"
Sadly, Kenta has never heard the famous Bard song.

Hiiragi runs up the stairs, coming in at the end of the hallway. She swears in Senzar under her breath, forcing an arrow onto her string.

"We have to hurry! Let's be quick about our work." She begins to sing a haunting song about loss.
Inspire Courage is back in play.
I like the slow pace of Tangerine by Zep. I'm imagining all of our current action taking place in slow motion.

Kenta confronts the two fiendish creatures assaulting Valais.
Kenta Fort DC12: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
He resists the vile stench. The rest of you bunch up as Onna begins a stirring song.
You hear a thunderous crash from behind you, and an angry roar. The ground shakes.
"નષ્ટ લાર્વા! આ થર્લનું કામ નથી. તેની પ્રયોગશાળા પર આક્રમણ કરવામાં આવ્યું છે. આવો, નાના ડેઝીઝ, આવો તમારા ગુનાઓ માટે ચૂકવણી કરો!"
The two vile monstrosities within the lab attack; the creature with the many faces continues to claw at Valais, whilst her companion assails Kenta.
red vs V: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
red vs V: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

blue vs K: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Valais manages to block one of the blows, but is still injured again. Kenta is savagely mauled.
