With a flash of his pendant, a copy of Targrish appears behind that tengu that Aicard is menacing.

"Hello, there fiend-kisser," The dwarf grumbles as he lashes out at the attacker.

Oro considers Yellow the fanatic's diminishing chances and fires an arrow.

Devise a Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 3
First attack result is 26 or 27 if the knowledge check is a crit

Society: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41

He then knocks a second arrow and shoots again.

2d6 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 + (3, 5, 2) = 23


The remaining tengu quickly fall to your attacks, Oro's arrow catching one of them in the throat and taking him out! Skawnak and his fellow rebels emerge from their hiding spots, thanking you profusely for protecting them!

The Mivanians have a total of 5 spike launchers and 5 +1 striking rapiers. The leader wears +1 leather armor.

"We have to get across this plain before more Mivanians show up," Skawnak says. "But we've never been here before, and we don't know the best path to get past the aerial patrols. The grasses conceal a veritable maze of hidden gullies, and we've been trying to plot our route. Maybe you can help us get across safely?"

Careful observation of the grass and the wind reveal the network of hidden gullies, most of which lead to dead ends but some of which lead to a deeper, safer gully a few miles away. Determining a safe way acrosss the plains requires three successful secret checks, any combination of Perception, Nature, Survival, or Plains Lore. Please let me know which of you are making which checks and I will roll them secretly for you.

Alternately, if you have another tactic to ensure stealth across the plains or that allows all 16 rebels to bypass the 2,000-foot-wide distance entirely, you can automatically succeed without needing to roll.

Oro has perception and survival at +23, nature at 18. He would definitely try his hand at it, unless only one person make the attempt?


HP 134, AC 33, F +21, R +23, W +22, Per +21 Sorcerer 14

Oro is way better than Vashta or The Tyrant, so she'll let him/someone else lead.

"Of course, dears, we'll help get you across," she tells them.

It bothers Aicard that he feels little remorse for what they've done, but demon-worshipping scum tends to be the literal worst of the worst. They had it coming. Surely. "If anything catches us, I'll stop to fight it. Whatever fiendish bastards might be lurking above won't know what hit them ..."

Aicard isn't trained in any of those skills and he rocks a whooping +19 on Perception. I also do not have any special powers or spells that will let us bypass the plains. He will cast heroism on himself before the group tries to get the rebels across.


Orozomoc studies the plain before charting a course that looks like it will get the rebels across safely. They nod and steel themselves before following the four of you into the hidden gullies. Fortunately, it seems that the investigator has a keen eye for navigation, and you make it across the plain!

As the rebels scurry to safety, however, two vulturelike demons suddenly appear in the air 15 feet above you, having spotted you from a distance and teleported into your midst! The hulking demons shriek and flex their claws! In the air 30 feet above you, another fiend appears, flapping her wings to stay aloft. This fiend resembles a horned, humanoid hawk with blood-red taloned feet and wings in place of arms. You notice that she clutches a Harrow card in one of her talons!

Initiative:

Aicard: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
Orozomoc: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35
Targrish: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Vashta: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Enemies: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

Before you can react, the fiends attack! The flying fiend casts fear on all of you. One vulture demon lets out a stunning shriek before diving down to attack Orozomoc, while the other one swoops down, attacks the Tyrant, and unleashes a cloud of spores from its body!

Beak vs Oro, Tyrant: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 291d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
Damage: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 7, 7) + 9 = 281d6 ⇒ 43d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 3, 1) + 9 = 211d6 ⇒ 2
Spores: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 1) = 51d6 ⇒ 3

Everybody must attempt a DC 30 Will save against fear. Then, everybody must attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save against Stunning Screech. Orozomoc takes 28 piercing and 4 evil damage. The Tyrant takes 21 piercing, 2 evil, and 5 poison damage, and he must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or take 2d8 persistent piercing damage as the spores penetrate his skin and grow into thick, green vines.

Stunning Screech (auditory, divine, incapacitation, sonic):
Each non-demon creature within a 30-foot burst must attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is stunned 2, and on a critical failure, it’s stunned 3.

Orozomoc recognizes the vulturelike demons as vrocks. Vrocks form from the souls of hateful mortals who are thus given another chance to inflict their rage on the world. They are weak to good and cold iron weapons and they resist fire.

The investigator quickly fires two arrows into the adjacent vrock, wounding it! It takes an attack of opportunity against Orozomoc, which he dodges.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23

Targrish is stunned by the screeching, but he still grabs some esoterica to exploit the vrocks' vulnerability. Aicard bashes the wounded vrock twice and raises his shield, then the Tyrant rips into it with his teeth, scoring a critical hit!

The hawklike fiend flies overhead as she casts a spell, sending a lightning bolt crashing down at Orozomoc!

Lightning Bolt (5th): 6d12 ⇒ (12, 12, 2, 4, 1, 9) = 40

Meanwhile, the vrocks attack Oro and the Tyrant again!

Is there a map somewhere that would let me see positioning? I wasn't aware I was within its reach.

Reflex: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31

Wracked by pain, Oro places a hand on his breast, letting healing energies flow through from the aether and into his wounds.

He then steps back away from the ambushing fiend (if I can) and uses his tools to patch up the wounds.

I assume Oro is within 15ft, so Aicard will use Liberating Step on the first hit against Oro to reduce the damage taken by 14. If he's within 5ft, Aicard can shield block twice as well, reducing the 24 damage from the first hit by 14 from resistance and 17 from the shield to 0, and the second attack of 21 damage by 17 from the shield to 4. Shield would take 4 damage if so.

Angered by the fact the fiendish bastards are going for his friends and not him, Aicard roars and channels his fury into a brutal strike.

Sorry, didn't make a map for this encounter. Just using theater of the mind.

Oro falls back and Targrish misses with his attacks. Aicard scores a critical hit with his divine-empowered shield, though, and the Tyrant finishes off the first vrock with a claw!

The hawklike fiend flies overhead and hurls fire down at Orozomoc, trying to finish him off!

No worries about the map. I should have realized I was adjacent to the vrock based on the first post in this encounter.

Staggering from his massive injuries, Oro summons the spirits' mercy as he releases a spirit wisp from the fetish around his neck.

Oro, back from the brink of death, moves to Vashta to treat her wounds.

Battle Medicine DC 30: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
That's 3 failures out of 3 to just hit a 6.

Oro releases the other spirit wisp he carries in a bid to save Vashta and the Tyrant.
healing: 12d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 3, 4, 3) = 33

Lastly, knowing that the gloves he wears absorb positive energy throughout the day, he taps into the spiritual residue within them for a little extra burst of healing.

Total healing to Vashta=68hp

Actions: 1) Doctor's Visitation (LOL), 2) Spirit's Absolution, 3) Greater Healer's Gloves


Aicard and Vashta miss with their attacks, but Targrish slices deep into the vrock's body, then the Tyrant finishes it off with his jaws!

Only the hawklike fiend remains. She lets out an angry shriek as she dives down at Oro, tearing at the investigator with her razor-sharp beak! She misses with her talon as she flies back up 30 feet into the air and out of melee reach!

Dive Bomb (Beak), Talon: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 391d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Damage: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (9, 3) + 11 = 23

46 piercing damage to Oro and 1d6 persistent bleed damage. If a hurlilu critically hits a foe with a melee Strike, the foe's flat check to recover from any resulting bleed damage is DC 19 instead of DC 15.

Act Together to cast Boost Eidolon (Tyrant will use one action to Fly -- he can go 35 feet, and has 10 feet reach, so plenty of ability); Tyrant will use two actions to frenzy.

Oro attempts first aid to staunch the bleeding.

Administer First Aid: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36

Free Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Still losing blood, he aims at the fiend and fires an arrow.

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 2
bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4


The fiend dodges Orozomoc's arrow. Targrish exploits the fiend's weakness against good as he sprouts wings from his back. Aicard fails to either demoralize or hit the flying fiend.

As the Tyrant lifts off the ground, the fiend reacts!

Reaction: Dominate the Air. Requirements: The hurlilu is flying; Trigger: A creature within 30 feet leaves the ground using a fly Speed; Effect: The hurlilu casts earthbind on the triggering creature.

Tyrant Fortitude DC 30: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

The fiend's magic temporarily binds the Tyrant to the ground, preventing him from flying! It then dive bombs Oro again, pecking and slashing the investigator. As Oro falls, the fiend shrieks in glee and flies up again!

Dive Bomb (Beak), Talon: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 321d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36
Damage: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (4, 5) + 11 = 202d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 6) + 11 = 22

42 damage to Oro. He's down at dying 1 and still bleeding. The Tyrant can use the attacks he rolled this round if he's able to get off the ground this time.


AC 30, F +20, R +19, W +17, Per +17

The Tyrant snarls and tries to himself into the air again.

Tyrant's Fortitude (master), juggernaut: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27 If necessary

Unable to get up again, however, he roars in frustration and instead breathes out a cone of electricity.

Act Together to Fly, but since that failed, two actions to use Breath Weapon and free action to hope it's not immune to electricity
Breath Weapon electricity damage (DC 31 basic Reflex): 6d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 6, 6, 1) = 23

Reaction: Liberating Step on Oro to reduce the damage taken by 14. This isn't enough to prevent him from going down, afaik. It does let everyone take a 5ft step.

Aicard steps towards Oro but he's too late to intervene with his shield. Instead of seeking vengeance, Aicard dedicates himself to protecting Oro.

"My thanks, Aicard," Oro says, recovering his feet and his bow. "I nearly joined the spirits there."

Oro nocks an arrow and fires.

The Tyrant's breath weapon injures the fiend slightly. She dodges Targrish's attack, but Oro's arrow finds its mark in her side. The fiend appears to be resistant to physical damage, however!

The monster flaps her wings to hover in the air as she attacks Targrish! The dwarf's armor keeps him safe from harm!
