GM Losonti's Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Losonti

Lotney considers getting in there but decides to take his union mandated break and retrieves his bow instead.

Massielo realizes that the room is crowded and he won't be able to reach the demons. He relaxes a bit, but Sinesia comes and shoots another arrow.

Sinesia shoot into melee with Bless with Cover: 1d20 + 10 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 - 4 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Grey Garrison

Round 2

Tristan frowns at the positioning in this chamber. The Inquisitor decides to just join the fray as is.
He walks calmly up to Blue, swinging his mace at its head!
Melee +1 heavy Mace, Bless, inspired : 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 231d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

Caliban surveys the scene, and chooses to hang back, allowing Greta the opportunity to fill in on the left flank with her hammer. Narrowing his eyes, he focuses his magical energy and a ray of frost erupts from his finger pointed at the purple-clad figure.

Ray of Frost v touch, bless, cover, melee: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 - 4 = 1
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Arsenault, feeling good about his continued attacks, enters the room and fires an arrow at the purply one. The arrow streaks through the combat, impacting heavily on the creature's chest.

Bless, melee, cover: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 21
gravity bow, pbs: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 1 = 10
confirm?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 19
crit damage: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 2) + 2 = 13

Tristan don't forget +1d6 damage from lesser celestial blood.

Tristan remembers at the last second to add the lesser celestial blood from Junior's inspiring rage!
lesser celestial blood: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The Inquisitor winks at the flabby human-looking fella!
You ever think about a gym membership?

Benedic accepts the raging song and swings Radiance at the closest demon, frowning with disapproval at the creature.

Attack (Radiance), bless, bull's strength, divine favor, inspired rage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage (cold iron/good/magic/slashing), bull's strength, divine favor, inspired rage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 16
Damage (lesser celestial blood): 1d6 ⇒ 5

The more injured of the pair is knocked senseless by simultaneous blows from Junior and Tristan. It staggers around for a moment, before another arrow from Arsenault slams into it with supernatural force. It slams onto its back on the ground and does not stir again.

Irabeth and Benedic, fueled both by righteousness and Junior's powerful song, strike together. Benedic's sword simply cleaves through the demon's left leg as if it were soft butter, and as it writhes on the floor, Irabeth separates the head from its body with an efficient swing of her own sword.

Combat over!

The Inquisitor winks at the flabby human-looking fella!

You ever think about a gym membership?

Junior blushes and taps the scale of Terendelev against his right cheek and his form coalesces into something more pleasing to the eye. "How's this?"

Grey Garrison

Perception (Wis): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Tristan gives the room a quick search for anything useful, before preparing to continue.

He looks at Junior.
Reminds me of a Pathfinder Chronicle art book I read over once in my Ethics class.

Greta looks disapprovingly at the crack in the stone floor that marks the only effect of her attack.

all that talk about hurrying up and saving lives and I was totally useless in this fight... at least it got us moving again... I wish the commander hadn't just witnessed that though...

"Sorry, ma'am," she mutters, leaving her intended recipient merely implied, "I'll do better next time." Doing her best to ignore Junior and Tristan's jokes, she turns back to the unopened door on the north wall of the shrine room and, once Girk is in position with an arrow knocked, swings it open next.

SM: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Junior claps Greta on the back and gives her a thumbs up, "You'll get the next one. If I was the next demon, I'd be terrified."

He looks at Irabeth to validate his consolation.

Selann moves in to the room with the others, picking up the dagger he had thrown and missed. Looking at the heads that the demons had been playing with he mutters, "At least they weren't able to wear these bodies like the others. But playing with bodies like they are toys? These guys were probably knights in the guard. They deserve better!"

Massielo tells Greta "These demons were so weak that I don't even need to heal anyone. Believe me, your moment of truth will come. Today yet."

He agrees with Selann and says pressing on "Let us honor them by cleansing this place and fulfilling our mission." He seems resolved.

Selann gathers anything he can find that looks like the equipment of these mangled knights. He reverently sets them on a table or something and says a quiet prayer.

"You're right. Let's destroy these demons. Clear their mess and set this place right. And we can take these Knights back to be buryied with the honor they deserved."

Irabeth lifts the visor of her helmet for a moment to offer Greta a toothy smile. "Fear not, Dame Gyllenhår. There will be more."

As you cleanse the museum, you feel a weight upon your shoulders once again, as something great and terrible takes notice of you.

The door opens into a remarkably nondescript room. A bench sits broken along the eastern half of the room, while closed doors await you to the west and north.

Massielo walks closely to the others and suggests the room to the west first.

Moving in quietly, searching for traps and listening at the doors. If all appears safe, checking to see if the door to the west is locked.

stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Grey Garrison

Tristan follows the others into the next chamber. The Inquisitor sweeping it for any Evil auras, as they continue.
Detect Alignment (Sp): at-will

He orders Strider to continue his sentry routine, as they go forward.

He will open the West door; once Selann gives the all clear.
Tristan auto aids Selann's Perception for +2

It is as if the demon sorceress senses our presence, our one of her minions does in this place. Let us not tarry too long while this feeling of unease is about us. the elf intones while moving to support the door openers at the west door.

Selann finds no traps, but the door is indeed locked when he tries the handle.

Tristan quietly relays his findings. The Inquisitor waits for Selann to unlock the door.
He cast Guidance on the Halfling; stepping away just in case something explodes.

Selann works on the lock for a minute....
Disable Device?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
but then shrugs and backs away. Assuming that wasn't good enough. ??

Before Selann opens the door he nods to Lotney who taps his wand to his own temple. Activating gravity bow.

Massielo renews his blessing on the group and gets ready.

Greta instructs Girk to stay in the altar room and watch for anyone, or anything, entering the building behind them. Then she does her best to position herself where she'll be able to attack through the doorway when it opens, and raises her hammer in preparation.

Sorry for the delay, folks. Work.

The lock is stubborn indeed, and even Selann finds it difficult to make any progress. While Selann struggles with the lock, Tristan can sense the auras on the other side shifting position. The one closest to the door leaves and moves up and out of the spell's range, while the five more distant auras take its place directly opposite the party. I am assuming you keep up your concentration.

Struggling with the lock is definitely not a fun time for Selann. But, unless interupted he continues working on it. "If any on the other side of this door are listening, they'll be waiting for the door to open.... Be ready!"

I guess "Take 20" ?? +10 would be 30 to unlock it?

Taking 20 for a 30 will hit the DC exactly. Opening a lock is a full round action, so everyone knock 2 minutes off any durations.

The lock puts up more of a fight than some of the demons you've slain, but it's still no match for Selann's combination of skill and persistence. After a couple minutes, he is rewarded with a soft click as the door's lock disengages.

I moved Irabeth and Selann to the western door. Want to give everybody a chance to position themselves for the fight that you know is waiting. With how many actors there are in this it's gonna be like a cage match inside of a clown car.

I knocked 20 rounds off of all Benedic's spell durations. If my calculations are correct, Masseilo's bless is still active, but things like divine favor have ended.

Benedic leans closer to Selann. "If you have cracked the lock," he murmurs, "I would be happy to take your place to open the door. Let them fire at my armor instead of your head?" He smiles wanly.

Feeling/hearing the lock finally release, Selann glances at the others. "Ready!" Once the team is ready he turns the latch to open the door and ducks behind Benedic. And I guess that would be my round 1 actions.

Tristan rearranges some of his fellow crusader's for the opening of the door.
He cast Guidance on Selann just before Benedic opens the door.
Just in case of some AoO; I moved some of us without Evasion along the sides of the room.

A fireball would make quick work on us. @GM: This is not a suggestion.

Massielo makes sure that Sinesia is prepared and gets a spell ready in his mind.

If I can, I'd like to ready an action to cast Cause Fear on the biggest meanest-looking demon that we see once the door is open. If it's possible, that's a DC 15.

You can't ready actions out of combat. If this is allowed it breaks the game quite a bit. Essentially we all get a free turn. If you want to cast a short term buff before the door is open that's a better move.

I can ready to start bard song as soon as I see an enemy, all our rangers can fire their bows if they ready, and so on. The other side is also very aware of us so they can ready a bunch of actions. At that point we should just to a normal battle round so we're not trying to resolve a bunch of things at the same instant.

If one side is not aware then you get your free actions from the surprise round. If ready actions are allowed on top of that then you get two full actions, possibly three before normal the surprised side gets a turn. I don't want monsters, who have more opportunity to get the drop on us, that option.

That's fair. I thought that would be the medieval fantasy equivalent of going in guns blazing, but I get that it would be too mechanically chaotic if that were possible.

Caliban moves into position behind Tristan, giving the inquisitor some backup as needed.

ready when you are!

Benedic opens the door, and you are all greeted by the stupid, grinning faces of half a dozen dretch demons waiting for you in the wide hallway on the far side. Along one wall of this long room stands a smashed sideboard. A stone staircase leads upstairs.

Selann and Junior are up first, then the demons!

Junior taps Tristan on the shoulder in encouragement while walking behind him and rather than banging on his drums and singing he rallies his troops, er, the party. "G.I. Fred is Mendev's top secret mobile strike force team. The mission: to defend freedom. The threat: Demon, an evil organization bent on world conquest. The battle cry: Yo Fred!"

Longbow vs red, point blank shot, into melee, bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 - 4 + 1 = 13
Gravity Bow, point blank shot: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 1 = 9

Lotney draws his bow and tries his best not to peg Benedic in the back of the head. It definitely has cover.

Gravity bow 8 rds left.

@JUnior did someone just see a Movie recently...lol?

Seeing the room full of demons Selann again wishes that he had cold iron crossbow bolts. Barring that he focuses on his ring and casts a spell that he hadn't prepared, but feels that it might be helpful. "Stinking demons! The floor behind the front two will be a bit slippery. Once the front line is crushed, keep that in mind!'

Casting Grease on the 10' square behind the front line. Pink and Green will need a Reflex save, DC13, or fall. Moving through it at half speed requires an Acrobatics roll of 10. Failure means you can't move and have to save or fall. Fail by means you fall.

Caliban's magic makes a mockery of the demons as most of them slip and crash to the ground as they try to push through the door. The two at the front flail at Benedic and Caliban with their claws, but only one strike actually makes contact with the cleric 5 damage.

Behind the front line, one of the dretches points a clawed finger at Selann and lets out a horrid screech of rage. Selann, you'll need to make a DC 11 Will save or be frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 1 round. On a success, you're shaken for 1 round.

The whole party is up!

@Selann: Don't forget you have bless on you which gives you +1 morale bonus vs fear.

I really need to get myself a weapon with reach again...

Massielo moves in the crowded space and touches Caliban, protecting him from attacks.

Cast Shield of Faith on Caliban.

Sinesia shoots an arrow on the backline.

Shooting purple with PBS. Subtracting 4 due to cover.

Shoot!: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Delaying until after Tristan

Grey Garrison

Tristan looks at the Monday morning traffic piling up at the door.
It seems as if we are at an impasse here. How 'bout you boys move back a bit, so we can get in there and kick your...

Intimidate to demoralize Red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

knowledge ?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Knowledge (arcana) (Int)+6 (+3 identify)(2), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int)+6 (+3 identify)(2), Knowledge (nature) (Int)+6 (+3 identify)(2), Knowledge (planes) (Int)+6 (+3 identify)(2), Knowledge (religion) (Int)+6 (+3 identify)(2)

The Inquisitor whispers (loudly) to Junior.
Good thing these things don't have Stinking cloud, right.

He winks at the 1/2 Orc.

EDIT: I would like to Target whichever dretch Greta did not just destroy...lol.

Greta does her best to line up a swing between Benedic and the doorframe and tries to attack the demon blocking the way in to the other room.

hammer (rage/bless/cover): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 - 4 = 23
for (good): 2d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 + 1 = 13
plus (holy): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Caliban sees Greta's hammer pass between Benedic and the doorframe, and spins his blade in both hands, arcing it toward the demon's head as he accepts Junior's rage with Massielo's spell protecting him. The two-handed swing catches the demon hard!

Attack, bless, rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
plus holy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Selann sees and hears the little demon cast some magic at him. He feels an irrational fear pass over, and leave him. He considers his available weapons and pulls out the wand. After a moment of consideration, he just holds it. He knows these pathetic creatures won't take much time for this group to crush.

Question: As the party moves in to the room, can I cancel the grease so they won't have to save or fall? And the map is 5' squares right? So we now have 4 demons in the grease? The 4 stooges?

You can dismiss it as a standard action.

Junior failing to see his hero charge to his rescue, charges in himself! But he remembers to encourage his team while being splashed in the face with demon blood, "Good job everyone, see I told you Greta. And Caliban damn fine form on that lunge. Tristan I'm glad you're on our side you scary mfer. Selann great control. Massielo good support. Benny, if only Beatrice could see you now!"

Ransuer of the Gargoyle, alter self, rage song vs probably teal: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 28 It has cover
Piercing: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 = 13
Good damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Lotney gives a look to his fellow mongrelfolk as if to say, What about us?

Longbow vs fuscia?, point blank shot, bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 13 Has cover, might be prone, no whammies
Gravity Bow, point blank shot: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 1 = 8
