Oorgatch moves up with his intact panache, and attempts to finish off magenta mixed.

+1 Ghost Touch Striking 'branch' w/ flank: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Magic, Ghost Touch, Piercing + precision: 2d6 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 + (6, 5, 3) = 25 | deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 8
58 with crit.

He then parries.

This little f#~~er!

Sendiski run up to the next level.

Yan dashes after the ZebubSmites and lashes at it:

Disrupting Ghost Touch Bladed Scarf +1, Blade Ally: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 1 = 25
S: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7
Smite Evil (Good Damage): 4 = 4

Scarred One heals Sendoski, and crits the climbing mechalock.

Oorgatch crits and obliterates Magenta Mix.

Yan's smite works on the fiendish Zebub.
Not only does it work but the devil is especially vulnerable and goes down in a pile of ash and brimstone.

Without the Zebub commanding it the final Dreshkan stops attacking Yan and goes back to sorting objects in one of the cells.

Combat over

Status:

Scarred One 81/96
Yan 78/99
Oorgatch
Sendoski 43/57 | Wounded 2

"What was that all about?"

Sendoksi looks at the pile of ash in dismay.

These former prison cells hold barrels of pitch, jugs of lantern oil, fuse cord, flint and steel, and hundreds of arrows—sufficient supplies to destroy a small village.

The office door in the SE is locked but the Zebub has the key. In it is even more valuable destructive equipment.

One standard explosive arrow
Three 3rd-level spellstrike arrows
Three young red dragon’s breath potions
Ten moderate alchemist’s fires.

You can faintly hear the sound of pounding from the double doors to the north, but it's hard to make out anything in particular.

The Zebub also, on a cord infused with cold iron around its neck is a pendant that seems to be 1/5th of a pentagram.

”Let’s take what we can carry, and lock the rest in the office. At least we can hopefully prevent anyone else from using it. ”

"Agreed"

He looks at Sendoski "Let's head up, heal and come back down, shall we?" He then uses 20 minutes to heal his friends as Yan uses Lay on Hands to heals his wounds

Treat Wounds@Sendoski, DC20: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
heal: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6) + 10 = 19

Treat Wounds@Yan, DC20: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
heal: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 6) + 10 = 21

Going back to the place that we were

"Do you think that they attack you due to that cursed book, Ruindelover?"

"Sounds good."

Sendoski takes the pendant.

"Perhaps we'll find the other pieces."

He considers Scarred One's question.

"Right, the book. I nearly forgot about it. How do they know I have it?"

From Sendoski's shoulder, Naught says, "If they want it, the book must be important. Do keep it safe."

"Of course," Sendsoksi says with renewed purpose.

Yan makes a selfless offer.

I will borrow the book.

To keep it safe.

The party once again retreats up a level to lick their wounds before returning back down, those stairs getting well worn with their ups and downs.

"Do we leave that creature living?" Scarred One asks looking at the last Dreshkan as he walks towards the doors at the end of the cells

Sendoski gives Yan a smile.

"Thanks, but I can hold onto it."

Naught says, dryly, from atop Sendoski's shoulder, "I said keep it safe, not spill soup on it."

”I was wondering the same thing. But if it is harmless without leadership, I think we just leave it be.”

Yan nods. I think so, let's leave it be. We can push on.

ONward thru the door at the end of that hall!

Despite Yan's attempt to ruin another of Sendoki's fine books the party pushes forward.

Heading north you find a chamber who's walls are charred black. Chains hang from the 20-foot-tall ceiling, suspending shelves holding tools and metal ingots. A forge fills an alcove in the north wall; its mouth yawns open, filled with jagged teeth like those of a great beast, and a blazing fire roars inside.

Between the beast-forge’s horns, a hole in the ceiling captures the smoke belching from its nostrils. An anvil rests near the forge. The west wall has a trough of sooty water pushed up against it, and weapon racks flank the double door you've just come through on the south wall.

A breastplate wearing fiend with a partial pentagram amulet and a red hot hammer looks up from the forge and stops pounding while a bearded devil leans on the eastern wall, one hand on a particularly vicious looking glaive that given it's perfect fit you could assume it was custom made.

"Ha, Barcumbuk thanks you for defeating that stupid fly. Barcumbuk will kill you swiftly and minimize your suffering." announces the forgemaster.

Pulling a light hammer from the forge with no concearn for its heat the Forgemaster chucks it at Yan.

hammah vs Yan: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Bludgeoning+evil+fire: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (3) + (2) = 17

But the hammer tinks off of Yan's armor harmlessly.

He then unfurls his wings and flys to the ceiling above the bearded devil. 2 more hammers hang from his belt and 1 more lies in the devil-hot forge.

Oorgatch Up!

Oorgatch runs in, stabs at the bearded devil, and then retreats back.
+1 Ghost Touch Striking 'branch': 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Magic, Ghost Touch, Piercing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9 | deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Oorgatch gets in a decent stab, but most of the wound closes behind him.
Resist 5

Even with hand off the Glaive the Devil lashes out with a claw as Oorgatch backs back off.

Claw AoO: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
slashing+evil: 2d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 + (2) = 17

The bearded devil then grins as it gets its hellforged glaive ready for combat. It looks at Yan as it moves forward carefully, its glaive erupting in flames as it strikes at Oorgatch from reach.

glaive: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
slashing+evil+fire: 2d8 + 7 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 + (2, 6) + (3) = 28

The wicked glaive hit nearly knocks Oorgatch off his feet and he stumbles 5ft north, it also leaves behind a bleeding wound that stinks of brimstone.

1d6 persistent bleed on Oorgatch. DC 20 flat to end. First Aid DC 26. Healing magic must succeed at DC 21 counteract to work.

The old one moves into the room and throws a bolt of ice at the bearded devil

Ray of frost@Bearded: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Damage, cold: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 4) + 4 = 14

Scarred One moves in and chills the Bearded Devil a bit with his ray.

Hit, normal damage.

Yan steps in smites the bearded devil and strikes:

Disrupting Ghost Touch Bladed Scarf +1, Blade Ally: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
S: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 7) + 4 = 15

Yan steps forward and smites the fiend! Not only does his scarf take the devil off his feet but the holy damage burns with a goodness that makes up for the physical resistance.

Sendoski moves into the room and sends rubble at the devil.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
P/S: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 5) + 4 = 19

Sendoski gets dangerously close to the bearded devil but misses with his debris.

The Forgemaster comes flying down, ignoring Yan and smashing their flaming forge hammer into the front Oorgatch.

Hammer time: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
B+evil+fire: 2d8 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 4) + 6 + (1) + (4) = 22

Yand protects Oorgatch from most of the damage and powers up his smite.

The forgemaster pounds away at the Orc.

enfeebled hammer: 1d20 + 20 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 20 - 5 - 2 = 24

But thanks to Yan's weakening he can't finish the job.

Glaring at Yan. "Don't worry, you'll get your turn."

Oorgatch is up!

Oorgatch steps towards the bearded devil, acting like he is stumbling, soon to collapse.
Deception (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Not being very convincing, he still stabs at the prone devil.
+1 Ghost Touch Striking 'branch': 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Magic, Ghost Touch, Piercing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8 | deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Oorgatch hits, but once again his weapon is stymied by the Devil's resistances and it's close, but not enough.

DR 5

The bearded devil plants his feat and leans on his wicked glaive to stand.

oorgatch bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Oorgatch flat 20: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Ignoring his nearly mortal wounds the bearded devil continues its infernal assault on Oorgatch.

hellforged glaive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
slashing+evil+fire: 2d8 + 7 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 7 + (3, 5) + (4) = 26

The bearded devil lands a vicious wound and pulls Oorgatch into a flank between him and the Forgemaster.

The devil follows up with a beard in an attempt to finish Oorgatch off.

no MAP beard vs Oorgatch FF: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
slashing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

The Forgemaster laughs as Oorgatch goes down.
"Hahaha, I told you it wouldn't be long till your turn. Or I'll make you a deal, leave the downed Orc's fate to luck and I'll help you smite your future foes."

Yan, Scarred One and Sendoski are up!

DC 26 first aid or counteract DC 21 for healing magic on Oorgatch .

Yan frowns. I have a deal for you. Recant your evil ways and we will leave you be.

Assuming this deal is not taken

Yan steps over and lays on hands Oorgatch. +24 HP

Counteract: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 21

Yan finishes off the bearded Devil and keeps Oorgatch a bit further away from death's door.

The forgemaster laughs "Ahh, you are willing to negotiate. Perhaps a hellforged weapon might interest you instead." but does not let down his guard or show any sign of surrendering despite his bodyguard dropping or Oorgatch's wounds starting to close

S PCs are still up.

Sendoski gives the Foremaster the Evil Eye and cast Warrior's Regret. Two DC 25 Will Saves.

"Sounds like a fair deal then, but if you hurt any of my firends, you'll reget it."

will+magic resist: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 = 26
will+magic resist: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 16 + 1 = 28

The Forgemaster resists the evil eye completely but does at least feel a little regret.

Success on both.

Scarred One sends some healing magic towards Oorgatch

Heal lvl 2, 2-action: 2d8 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (6, 8) + 16 + 1 = 31
Counteract, DC21: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Scarred One feels a bit of resistance as he tries to heal the young one, but he breaks through the infernal magic with little effort.

Then he smacks the forgemaster with his shield

Wham@Forge: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Damage, p: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

Oorgatch gets a nice heal from Scarred One, who follows up with an attack that barely damages the Forgemaster.

"Fine, I'll incinerate your soul first.."

enfeebled hammer vs Yan: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 20 - 2 = 21

Frusturasted the Forgemaster grabs the remaining hammer from the blazing hot hellforge and unfurls their wings again and flies up to the ceiling.

Oorgatch stands up, grabbing his ‘branch’ as he does, and then prepares to parry any attack.

Scarred One looks at the creature and points his hand at it.

"Let me see what a blast does to you"

Gust of wind Fort save DC25 on failure it gets crit failure result due to flying

Then he raises his shield

Sendoski sends rubble flying at the forgemaster, then casts shield.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
P/S: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 3) + 4 = 18

"So, the deal is off?"

The Forgemaster gets pounded by the wind.

S: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 3) + 4 = 14

Glimpse to enfeeble on first enemy targeted if not me

Yan moves up and strikes the prone Forgemaster.

Weakness and resistance average out.

Back at full strength the Forgemaster stands, steps up to Yan and tries to hammer him a question.

hammer: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

But can't quite hit.

Oorgatch moves across the room, tumbling by the forge master.

Acrobatics (M): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21 likely a fail, but that was his last 2 squares of movement , as he moves through Yan’s square.

He tries again.
Acrobatics (M): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

And then he stabs with his branch.
+1 Ghost Touch Striking 'branch': 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
Magic, Ghost Touch, Piercing + precision: 2d6 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + (6, 2, 1) = 22 | deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Wellmdone Oorgatch never give up!

Yan steps into a flank, smites again, and strikes:

Disrupting Ghost Touch Bladed Scarf +1, Blade Ally: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
S: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13
Smite Evil (Good Damage): 4 = 4

Scarred One smiles when the creature falls to the ground barely saving itself from hitting the floor with their back.

He moves closer and grabs with his arm the creature.

Athletics @ Fort DC of a Forgemaster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"You are not getting away from us!"

Then he tries to smack them with his shield

Shield bash: 1d20 + 13 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 5 = 22
Damage, p: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

21 indeed fails.

It takes Oorgatch a couple a couple tries but he gets by the Forgemaster and gets a decent stab in.

Yan steps into the flank, smites and just barely hits, thanks to the flank.

Oorgatch moves up and grabs the Devil's arm to keep from from taking flight again.

He still can't get a decent blow in with his shield though.

The Forgemaster gets Evil Eyed and crit by some debris!

His fleshy body incinerates leaving behind his +1 striking warhammer and a 100 feet of rope, seemingly made of some sort of infernal hair.

Out of Combat

The 4 light hammers are non magical but recoverable as well.

The Bearded Devil had a +1 flaming striking hellforged glaive.

In the hands of a devil, these hellforged weapons gain the agile and deadly d8 weapon traits. Hellforged weapons exude palpable menace, so upstanding merchants usually refuse to trade in them.

The Forgemaster also has another section of Pentagram necklace.

Neatly stacked near the anvil are:

5 cold iron chunks (10gp each)

2 silver chunks (10gp each)

1 adamantine chunk (500gp)

Scarred One keep holding to the creature as it incinerates

"In the end it found a way to free from my grasp..." he says throwing off the dust of his hand

"You begin to gather more and more scars, soon gods will not be able to recognize you from me ..." says the old one as he cures Oorgatch

The above + LOH would heal Orgatch to full

I wonder what the complete pentagram will form. Who else is placing their bets on a key?

Sendoski takes the necklace, and says, "Don't you think it will form a pentagram?"

Crafting (T): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Religion, Dubious Knowledge: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Scarred One glances at the infernal forge

"Worddancer, I think a bit of holy water would destroy this forge once and for all. Nature would not reclaim it for long time if we don't destroy it"

Do we have Holy water?

Yan is a little embarrassed. He rummages through his bag, pushing aside several torn bloody waterlogged books from the library. Uhh, no…

Scarred One leads on towards unexplored door

"Let us try this one"
