Burning Wrath (Wrath of the Righteous, table 2)

Game Master The Roxtar

As Salvatore sees his sister he is unable to hold back tears. He runs over to her and gives her a big hug, I.......I thought you were dead. I am so glad your alive.

Salvatore is updated to lvl 7

Serafina embraces Salvatore, I thought I was too for a bit. I am so glad to see you. Serafina looks around seeing Salvatore's allies. Hello I am Serafina Vasili, Salvatore's older sister. Thank you for freeing us.

Leveled up.

Wally walks amongst the Knights, praising them and blessing them in Iomedae's name. Seeing the reunion of the lost siblings brings a smile to his face and a tear to his eye. "I may be just a simple country preacher but... I dare say her divine hand is hard at work rewarding our efforts this day! Oh blessed be The Inheritor!"

Wally's cohort checking in.

"Blessed be The Inheritor!" Zendya calls out in response. "May I join you in prayer preacher? I am need of her blessings this day. I am afflicted with a malady of spirits that drives me on this quest of righteousness and could use some counsel."

"Of course my child. Jon me and tell me of this malady." Wally says with concern written plainly on his face.
and that's enough talking to myself for now.

pausing for a tick to let everyone get updated, but what is the next target?

be still my heart I thought only I was the embodiment of a celestial being little did I know there was one that walked the earth. My name is Darius Coldwall and I would love to get to know you a little better and help you heal up

Darius will lay think his Cajun charm on serphina and then give Sally and reassuring nod that he is a good man

and wally my did that beard give you a little somethin' extra! Care to join me later for healing

working on leveling my guys up

alrighty. got everything situated, just need the finalized info and tokens for folks and we can get started :)

With the larger forces broken up, the legendary heroes in training head into the city and look to secure the Ahari Bridge. Once there they find that the forces holding it are not insubstantial. Many tieflings are keeping a somewhat watchful eye, as well as four large beasts of burden that sport wicked looking horns.

Tokens and information on the slides updated. Also updated the header of Darius and Pyro.

Zendya gathers everyone together and casts Protection from Evil, Communal on everyone.
1 minute each.
Then she draws her light flail and strides forward.

upon walking up to this and seeing this would I have been able to buff myself?

for prebuffing, longer spells will be fine. shorter term spells, not so much. you guys do know there are enemies there, so some degree of preparedness is understandable

also, where is zendya moving to? i still see her in the same starting zone

Salvatore would of used a Scroll of Mage Armor if that's ok.

In the back, sounds of chanting can be heard. Closer to the front however, one of the large beasts rushes forward, and tries to skewer Zendya.

Gore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 miss

Zendya easily notices that the beast has a heavy shackle around it's neck, keeping it chained to the tall watchtower on the bridge.

sorry, needed to clarify here. The city lighting is Normal light, darkness drops it to dim light. So characters with low light or darkvision will be able to see as normal

Darius will activate his divine bond and then move up a bit

prepare yourselves this will be a intense battle!

Pyro will 5ft over and ready a blast to the first enemy the comes within his range (30ft)

Fire Blast: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Energy Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) + 4 = 20

Darius moves up and over, turning on his sword to make a subtle glow.

as there's no spell level provided for the divine bond, let's just assume you're activating the light from Radiance itself, while it's not fully powered up, and it still only produces light "as a torch", that'll be sufficient enough to push back -this- darkness to give normal light 20ft around you.

Pyro readies and then tosses a blast at the large beast closest to him, finishing the creature off.

Purple tiefling strides forward with a shortsword, swinging at Zendya.

Melee: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 miss
Slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Light blue and Blue fire a crossbow bolts at Serafina.

Ranged: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 miss
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Ranged: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 miss
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The large beasts, Orange and Yellow strain against their shackles, but are still tied down.

Freedom? O: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Freedom? Y: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Salvatore will hold up his right hand with a finger extended and you see a small red ball appear then with his left hand he will grab his mask and the red ball of light turns blue then launches forward. Then Salvatore will move forward a bit.

Cold Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 6, 6, 1) = 24
Reflex Save DC19

2 Uses of the Mask of Conflicting Energies left.

I would like to use the Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves from Blessing of Fervor.

The ice ball bursts, and several of the tieflings fall. One of the large beasts subsequently breaks free from it's shackles and moves closer.

Zendya attacks purple twice, using the extra attack from Blessing of Fervor, with her light flail.

Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Light Flail: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

i'll be honest, this fight is really busy and the enemies are mostly pretty weak. the only one that could have been a challenge was white, but outside of blasting you with fireballs every round til you get to him, he's not got a ton going for him. i'm inclined to just scrap this fight and call it a victory for the knights. cool?

Fine by me

Part of me doesn't want to scrap the easy fight since we've been struggle bussing it all along. But I also don't want to be targeted by fireballs repeatedly... I'm torn.

double the loot from it and I'm sold

lol. ending the fight without taking weeks is the reward already :P you guys will still get loot, but not doubling it.

After a brief and violent skirmish, the heroes are victorious. The hulking beasts appear to have been chained to the supports of the bridge, and some wear is obvious even to the untrained eye. (it looks as if they had a plan to bring the bridge down should it look like they were losing it).

The tieflings carried generic gear and no other valuables... except for one. This one seemed a bit different from the others. A bit older, and from his prowess in battle, skilled with magic. He carried some more interesting gear.

Loot
potion of cure moderate wounds
wand of dimension door (9 charges)
amulet of natural armor +1
cloak of resistance +2
125 gp

Salvatore will be keeping the Wand of Dimension Door and the CL5 Wand of Magic Missiles in his wrist sheaths.

Good Job everyone. Now let's see if we can take down the Vault next.

The path across the city is clear, and in short order the group arrives at the small vault. A supernatural darkness clings to the building, seeming to ooze out of the very walls.

slide updated

Serafina will check for traps on the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

If there are no traps and everyone is ready she will open the door.

While Serafina is confident that the path is safe, the doors are quite sturdy... and locked.

I do not see any traps on this door but the door is locked and that is not an area I am proficient in. Are any of you proficient in the art of lock picking?

"I am not skilled in that area either."

"I'm just a simple country preacher. I don't know nothing 'bout opening locks without a key."

well I can try to pick it and if that doesn't work I can burn it down

Disable Device: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

ok that didn't work. Burn it down?

not that you can see much, but the structure is made of stone and metal. also, for picking a lock, you -can- try again, but i can tell you, even if you take 20, a +6 will not get you a result high enough to succeed

Serafind will try and knock down the door.

Greatsword PA Vital Strike: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Slashing Damage: 4d6 + 23 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2) + 23 = 35

As Serafina lands the first blow, she notices quickly that her weapon seemed very ineffective against the solid door.

Hey Serafina why don't you try this and try to open it. Doesn't look like your sword is very useful in this situation. Salvatore will hand her a crowbar.

In this case brother as much as I don't want to admit it, your right.

Serafina will put away her greatsword and grab the crowbar. Move over to the door and try to open the door.

If I can take a 20 then will the crowbar bonus that will be a 28. Hopefully that will be enough

Taking her time, the fighter eventually feels the door shudder and dislodge itself, opening heavily into the yawning darkness.

the interior, much like the exterior is shrouded in supernatural darkness. ie, if you don't have darkvision, you see nothing

Salvatore will use Detect Magic and the try to spellcraft to see what is causing the darkness

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Salvatore tries to magically analyze the darkness, but is uncertain what is causing the effect.

Zendya casts Light on her shield.

Wally casts Light on his shield.
