GM Peachbottom's War for the Crown

Game Master Peachbottom

Xallis' Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Hero Point...?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Xallis stumbles out of the way of the vile spirit before looking over to Navia. "Alright, I guess we're ruining that dress."
Defensive Casting (DC 21): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

The summoner draws upon the home realm of his eidolon, syphoning raw essence and directing it into her body. A whole second form, hulking like a gorilla and the size of a horse, grows around Navia's body like a living cage. The upper half of her body protrudes from a cavity in its chest, her own hair tendrils connecting her mind do its body like some kind of monstrous child of Nex and Numeria.

Navia bounds forward, slashing at the enemy with her new body's scythe-like claws.
Navia's Claw (power attack, sickened, shaken, flank): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Casting evolution surge to give Navia the large size evolution. Xallis takes a 5-foot step to make distance.

Round 2

Navia slashes with her claw but the spiritual energy surrounding the ghost deflects the strike.

Navia misses.

Tychus rapid fires three bolts into the spirit. Its body sudden inflates like a balloon and then bursts in a spray of slime in all directions.

Tychus hits the festering spirit 3 times for a total of 31 damage which destroys the spirit.

Combat over. I was going to give Tychus a hero point for those rolls (even though he couldn’t crit.), but he’s already full. So I’ll have his good luck rub off on the rest of you and give everyone else a hero point instead.

After the fight, there is no reaction from anything else inside that you can determine. Nothing comes out and the goat is still the only thing you see on the main floor.

Depending on how quickly you enter the building at this point, some of your spells may still last. How do you want to proceed?

No one was injured except for the Con damage.

A slimed Malphene trudges over to Trevor. The cleric tries to stiffle a smile.
"My goodness, Malphene, my love! Are you alright?" Trevor asks as he produces a wand of prestidigitation.

"Noo." A frowning lore warden said, her arms outstretched. "That stupid spirit it me pretty hard. I feel a little weaker."

Trevor's wand slowly and thoroughly cleans Dame Trant of the slime.

I would not be surprised at all if that is a demon goat.

Jack scratches his head. "Maybe I should climb up onto the roof and try to lower myself on a rope to open the door? We can try to batter it down, but it would be much easier if we could just remove the crossbar." He frowns in a manner similar to Henrika. "If that goat is a demon goat, I might not make it to the door, though. Might have a better shot if more than one of us go. Even better if Sir Tychus here has the goat in his sights and could snipe it if it tries anything."

He looks at everyone else. "I'd suggest Dame Ren or Navia do it instead of me, but right now they're both too big to fit through the window, and that fact might come in handy once we get inside. Seems like time is of the essence. I'm not bad at climbing, though this plate armor slows me down a bit."

Seems like time is of the essence. I'm not bad at climbing, though this plate armor slows me down a bit."

Tychus nods at Jack's suggestion. He walks over to the wall and tugs at the rope still affixed to the roof.

"She should still be solid. Once you're up, I can follow behind and watch over you from the window. In fact,... Abadar has blessed me with a sight that detects even the faintest hint of evil. I'll take a look at the goat before you lower yourself down."

Once everyone is in place, Tychus can use Detect Alignment at-will.

Henrika frowns in mirror to Jack's expression. "It is risky, Jack, you going alone. At least let us ensure that others are ready to follow you in if something should happen. Dame Trant? Sir Trevor? Ichabod? If Jack is prevented from opening the door, can you be ready to follow him down the rope?"

Henrika will wait beside the door, ready to charge in as soon as the way is clear.

Jack drinks his potion of bull's strength before he begins climbing.

I'll make the roll now so that we can proceed, but if anyone argues that we shouldn't do this I'm happy to retcon.

Climb, ACP, bull's strength: 1d20 + 8 - 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 5 + 2 = 15

I am not a skilled climber but will follow up as needed.

Navia trembles with anticipation, flexing her new body's rippling muscles. "Ohhhh, I feel like I could knock that whole wall down. Hurry hurry hurry, if there's something to fight on the other side I want to smaaaaaash it."

Xallis pats his eidolon's arm and nods. "If things go bad, we can break down the door from this side and come to your aid."

"Dame Trant is the climber of the two of us", Trevor admitted. "But we will follow as we can."

Okay, my understanding is that Jack and Tychus are climbing through the window while the rest wait outside.

Jack and Tychus climb back up to the round window and enter into the meat locker.

Jack Will save, remove fear: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 4 = 15
Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Since it is the first time Jack witnesses the room, he has to make a Will save (and fails) and becomes shaken for 2 minutes. Tychus already made the save and doesn’t need to again.

They carefully climb down the other side and walk through the bodies to exit the room. The locker room door is unlocked and they can just push it open. The goat spots intruders for the first time and bleats even louder. It sounds panicked.

Tychus’ detect evil tells him that the goat is radiating a strong evil aura. Up close, he can see that it has the same pure black eyes that some of the other animals in town had. Knowing what you do about pairaka divs from your investigations, you have no doubt that this is one.

Whether is realizes you see through its deception or not, it just remains where it is, bleating and pacing in circles. Then as Tychus and Jack approach a little closer, they discover why. The jumble of slaughterhouse machinery lashes out with cutting saws and jagged hooks.

Slaughterhouse Machinery Trap vs. Tychus’ AC 26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Slaughterhouse Machinery Trap vs. Jack’s AC 23: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Tychus and Jack dodge out of the way of the rusty machinery, however, the trap may still be active.

Finally, the goat transforms. It grows in size and becomes a blue-skinned female humanoid fiend draped in revealing attire. She has a sultry gaze suggesting all manner of debased pleasures.

The fiend laughs. ”Ho ho ho. Welcome to my abode. We’ve been watching you for some time. It was only a matter of time that you’d find your way here with all the snooping around you’ve been doing. But now that you have, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave. You may call me, Nazinina. Play with me. I’ll at least make your deaths pleasurable.”

Tychus acts first.

If Tychus or Jack gets to the front door, they are remove the bar with a standard action. No check needed.

If anyone wants to break the door down, it is hardness 5, hp 20, break DC 25.

So sorry, I posted this yesterday, but it didn't stick.

The fiend laughs. ”Ho ho ho. Welcome to my abode. We’ve been watching you for some time. It was only a matter of time that you’d find your way here with all the snooping around you’ve been doing. But now that you have, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave. You may call me, Nazinina. Play with me. I’ll at least make your deaths pleasurable.”

"Thanks, but I'm saving myself for marriage." Tychus responds in his monotone voice, but lacing on as much sarcasm as he can muster.

He skirts the room while making sure he is always facing the pairaka. Trusting in his anti-evil protections, he takes a few moments to pick out her weak spots.

Move and Study. With Prot. vs Evil up, Tychus should be decently protected here. Hopefully.

Round 1

Tychus moves and studies the pairaka.

Nazinina raises her hands up into the air and starts summoning. One wasp after another begin to appear and swirl around the pairaka’s raised hands as her conjuration forms. ”Hahaha! You say that like you have a choice.” she cackles.

Nazinina’s spell-like ability's casting time is 1 round, so it will finish on her next turn unless disrupted. She also takes a 5-ft. step north.

Malphene: ▲Remove Fear (79 min), ▼1 Con damage

Icabhod, Jack, Malphene, Henrika, and Trevor go.

If Tychus or Jack gets to the front door, they are remove the bar with a standard action. No check needed.

If anyone wants to break the door down, it is hardness 5, hp 20, break DC 25.

Icabhod waits for the door to be opened

Jack rushes to the door, keeping a wary eye on what the fiendish woman is doing. He starts to quip something, but bites it back as he realizes that he should try to keep the thing's attention on Tychus rather than drawing focus to himself.

He will double move to just next to the door. Unfortunately we are too far from it to be able to remove the bar this turn-- too bad haste ran out just before we went in.

Round 1

"Move!" The lore warden warns the investigator briskly.
Not willing to wait, Malphene tries to break the door down.

Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Henrika listens anxiously to hear if Jack is attacked. She silently casts displacement on herself, hoping that Jack will be able to get the door open quickly.

Round 1

Trevor quickly taps Malphene's shoulder before her attempt to break down the door, using his Good Domain Touch of Good (Sp) ability, adding a +4 to her Strength check.

Round 1

Trevor temporarily enhances Malphene’s abilities with touch of good then she rams her shoulder into the door and the bar on the other side shatters in two. The doors burst open and you can now enter.

Will Saves
Jack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Malphene: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Navia: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23
Henrika: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Navia feels some large footsteps approaching, and Henrika can see it with her see invisibility then a snarling canine beast shifts into visibility. It has a goblinoid face and hands instead of paws. It unleashes an invisible cone of despair that washes over those in the doorway. Most of you resist the effects, but Malphene is filled with a sudden great sadness. A long, grotesque touch dangles out of the creature’s mouth; it looks at Malphene and speaks. ”I can sense the despair on you and it tastes delicious.”

Malphene takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls for 9 minutes. Jack, Navia, and Henrika passed the save and are unaffected. The walls gave Trevor, Icabhod, and Xallis cover so they weren't in the effect. The barghest was invisible and became visible after casting an offensive spell. The spell is not a fear effect for remove fear. It is enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting].

Then a second identical beast appears and bites at Tychus with razor sharp fangs.

Barghest – Bite vs. Tychus’ FF AC 20, protection form evil: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The creature bites Tychus and shakes its head violently, tearing flesh.

The barghest hits Tychus for 12 damage. The barghest was under invisibility so it hits Tychus’ flat-footed AC but the invisibility drops after the attack.

Xallis and Tychus are next.

Throwing caution to the wind, Tychus rushes out of the new foe's range to get a clear shot on Nazinina. He sends a well aimed shot towards her, hoping to disrupt her spellcasting.

Spending a Grit to target Touch AC. Causing an AoO for moving.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Xallis' Spellcraft (div casting): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Xallis' Knowledge (Planes)(barghast): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Xallis' Spellcraft (barghast casting): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

With the sounds of combat and the chanting of the enemy's magic, Xallis knows he has little time. He rushes towards the doorway and takes a split-second to observe the battlefield, then places his hand on Navia's arm and channels magic.
Casting dimension door to get closer into combat.
Xallis' Knowledge (Planes)(looking for special Div weaknesses): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Navia turns towards the casting outsider, a look of excitement on her face as she rears back with her claws.
Navia's claw vs Nazinina (sickened, shaken): 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 4 = 26 damage: 1d6 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 2 = 13
Navia's claw vs Nazinina (sickened, shaken): 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 4 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10
Navia's claw vs Nazinina (sickened, shaken): 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 4 = 23 damage: 1d6 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 = 9
Navia's claw vs Nazinina (sickened, shaken): 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 15 - 4 = 17 damage: 1d6 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14

After her violent greeting, the monstrous eidolon speaks.

Round 1

Xallis' Knowledge (Planes)(looking for special Div weaknesses): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

I think I gave the information on divs from the guy from the Savories restaurant, but I can put it here and save you a search.

•A pairaka is immune to fire, poison, and disease.
•A pairaka is resistant to acid and electricity.
•A pairaka is is vulnerable to cold iron or good-aligned weapons (DR/cold iron or good).
•A pairaka has spell resistance.

Note: Navia’s sickened condition wore off. She’s just shaken now. I’ll add +2 back to the attack and damage rolls.

Nazinina Concentration DC 20: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 (10+5+5=20)
Nazinina Concentration DC 16: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 (10+1+5=16)

Navia appears next to the pairaka, Nazinina, and unleashes a flurry of claws. The div continues casting her spell, hardly phased by Navia’s attack nor words. She responds telepathically in Navia’s mind. ”Well aren’t you cute. I don’t do submissive. I’m always the dominant role. When I’m done with these humans, if you behave, I’ll let you join my harem.”

Navia hits Nazinina twice for a total of 6 damage after DR. (5 and 1). Nazinina succeeds on her concentration checks and continues her spell.

Round 2

Nazinina Concentration DC 25: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 (10+10+5=25)

Tychus shoots a bolt that pierces the div’s blue skin. The force rocks her slightly but her spell is unspoiled. Communicating telepathically again, she says to Tychus. ”I see you like it rough. Don’t worry. You’ll get your turn.”

Tychus hits Nazinina for 10 damage after DR. Nazinina succeeds on her concentration check and continues her spell.

Finally, Nazinina’s spell is complete. The gathering of wasps has grown into the thousands and she points her hand down at those in the doorway and unleashes the plague of insects upon them.

Insect Plague Damage
Barghest (Blue): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
Jack: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11
Malphene: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Henrika: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
Icabhod: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Poison Fort Saves
Jack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Malphene, crushing despair: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 = 22
Henrika: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Icabhod, poison resistance, iron liver: 1d20 + 6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 6 + 2 = 32

Distraction Fort Saves
Jack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Malphene, crushing despair: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 = 9
Icabhod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Barghest (Blue) takes 0 damage from the insect plague after DR. Jack takes 11 damage, Malphene takes 7 damage, Henrika takes 7 damage (swarm damage ignores Henrika’s displacement), and Icabhod takes 7 damage. Everyone passes the save against poison. Malphene and Icabhod fail their Fortitude saves against distraction and are nauseated for 1 round. Henrika is immune to the distraction ability from the swarmbane clasp that she put on.

The insect plague is 4 separate groups of wasp swarms that needed to be summoned adjacent to each other. The swarms are stationary after the spell is cast. The swarms can be damaged like a regular swarm could. Wasp swarms are immune to weapon damage but Henrika can harm them with her weapon because of the swarmbane clasp. Swarms take 150% damage from area effecs.

Navia AoO, shaken vs. Nazinina: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Nazinina – Claw vs. Tychus’ AC 25: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The pairaka then flies towards Tychus with claws extended. She rakes at Tychus’ head but he ducks out of the way. Then the pairaka loops around cackling gleefully.

Nazinina attacks Tychus with a flyby attack but the attack misses. Navia gets an attack of opportunity but it misses. Nazinina decreased her altitude to 5 ft. up to attack Tychus in the air but increased her altitude back to 10 ft. up afterwards. She is 10 ft. in the air.

Icabhod, Jack, Henrika, Trevor, and Malphene are next.

Icabhod spits bile and moves out of the swarm(done)

Round 2

Malphene steps out of the swarm, slimed and sobbing. The lore warden clutches the cleric's arm, crying on Trevor's shoulder. "Please don't leave me!" Dame Trant sobs.

Round 2

"Never!" Trevor says as he attempt to soothe his fiance's state. "I don't know what is going on in there, but we have to help. And I don't see any other way in but through. I can't do this alone. I run, you run! Understand!"

Malphene sheepishly nods, her face a mess of slime and tears.

Round 2

Icabhod spits bile and moves out of the swarm(done)

Icabhod walked through a wall, but he can still get to his current position by using the door too.

I’ll bot Henrika & Jack.

Jack – Breadknife, power attack, shaken vs. Barghest (Blue): 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 25
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 26
Damage: 4d4 + 10 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 1) + 10 + 12 = 28

Jack – Breadknife, power attack, shaken vs. Barghest (Blue): 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 2
Damage: 2d4 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 + 6 = 15

Jack side-steps out of the swarm and slashes the barghest across the face. His magical sword bypasses the creature’s resistances. It howls in fury and pain.

Jack takes a 5-ft. step and hits Barghest (Blue) once with a critical hit for 28 damage.

Henrika sees Trevor and Malphene struggling to get past the swarm of wasps so she takes advantage of her swarmbane clasp to help clear the way.

Henrika – Koriana’s Blade, power attack vs. Wasp Swarm #3: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 6 + 1 = 22

Henrika – Koriana’s Blade, power attack vs. Wasp Swarm #3: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 6 + 1 = 24

Henrika cleaves through the swarm, killing dozens of wasps with each strike until the doorway is completely insect-free.

Henrika hits Wasp Swarm #3 twice for a total of 46 damage and kills it. She 5-ft. steps out of the other adjacent swarm.

Icabhod and Malphene are no longer nauseated.

The barghest (red) spins around and claws at Navia in a clash of titans.

Barghest (Red) Bite vs. Navia’s AC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Barghest (Red) Claw vs. Navia’s AC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Barghest (Red) Claw vs. Navia’s AC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The mage armor protecting Navia holds and keeps the beast’s attacks from penetrating.

Barghest (Red) 5-ft. steps closer to Navia and makes 3 attacks. All attacks miss.

Barghest (Blue) Bite vs. Jack’s AC 23: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Barghest (Blue) Claw vs. Jack’s AC 23: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Barghest (Blue) Claw vs. Jack’s AC 23: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The second barghest (blue), enraged by Jack’s attack, focuses wholly on him. Jack fends off some of its fury but a claw gets through his defenses and rakes his arm.

Barghest (Blue) attacks Jack three times and hits once for 11 damage. It 5-ft. steps out of the swarm.

Xallis and Tychus go.

Seeing his bolt being mostly ineffective against the paraika, Tychus switches tactics and aims for the wounded Barghest. Blue

Attack 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Damage 1: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Attack 3: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Damage 3: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Xallis draws his trusty wand of magic missile to hold it at the ready, but casts from his own magic to accelerate time.
Casting haste on everyone except Trevor, himself, and Malphene.

Navia will pivot to focus on the barghast attacking her and return the favor. "YOU are not worth collecting!"

Navia's Claw vs Red (power attack, shaken): 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 2 + 1 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Round 2

Navia claws the barghest, tearing through thick fur and hide.

Navia hits Barghest (Red) 3 times for a total of 37 damage. I may be wrong, but it doesn’t look like the power attack was included in the attack penalty or damage bonus but I’ll just leave it alone.

"YOU are not worth collecting!"

”I don’t give a dretch’s ass about the opinions of food.” it snarls in reply.

Round 3

Tychus hits the other barghest with three bolts. It howls and collapses to the ground.

Tychus hits Barghest (Blue) 3 times for a total of 63 damage and kills it.

Since Xallis went before Tychus. He’ll also get an extra attack from haste.

Tychus – Dignity’s Barb, haste vs. Barghest (Red): 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

A fourth shot hits the remaining barghest in the flank.

Tychus hits Barghest (Red) for 18 more damage.

Slaughterhouse Machinery Trap vs. Tychus’ AC 25: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

The pile of machinery triggers again when Tychus steps closer to it, swinging a heavy arm of steel in his direction, but the trap is slow and easily dodged.

The trap misses Tychus.

Navia AoO, shaken, haste: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Xallis Fort Save, sickened: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13

Nazinina swoops past Navia and claws at Xallis as she flies past him. The wound from her scratch burns with infection.

Nazinina makes another flyback attack. She attacks and hits Xallis for 5 damage. Xallis thinks he may have contracted something from that attack. Navia gets an attack of opportunity but misses. Nazinina remains 10 ft. in the air at the end of her movement.

Back to Icabhod, Jack, Henrika, Trevor, and Malphene.

Jack takes a deep breath and steps closer to the barghest, unleashing a series of attacks with his falchion. He starts to comment on the distasteful back-and-forth between Navia and Nazinia, but he is still a little shaken by the foe and instead remains silent.

Attack #1 barghest (Breadslicer), bull's strength, haste, Power Attack, shaken: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 16

Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 2d4 + 5 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 + 3 + 6 = 22

Dame Henrika steps forward through the doorway. She lays about with her longsword, attacking the swarm that is just inside, and instructs her dancing blade to also defend herself and Jack.

Attack #1 vs swarm #2 (Koriana's blade), defending, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 21

Damage (magic, slashing), defending, enlarge person, Power Attack: 2d6 + 10 - 1 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 - 1 + 3 + 6 = 21

If she destroys swarm #2, she'll switch her remaining attacks to swarm #4.

Icabhod steps up to the Bad doggie Jack is fighting and unleashes a flurry of stabs

Rapier+2,Studied Combat,Heroism,Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 201d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Round 3

The lore warden reaches down within herself and charges in to attack the looming barghest.

+1 Longsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Dmg.: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Round 3

Trevor follows his fiance into battle against the outsider.

Godspike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Dmg.: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (6, 3) = 15

Round 3

Icabhod starts off slow but then picks up speed and lands an attack on the barghest. The beast slumps to its right, looking badly injured.

Icahbod hits the barghest once for 14 damage.

Jack continues the assault. The barghest fights for its life but its not enough, Jack gets in a hit and takes the creature down.

Jack hits the barghest once for 19 damage and kills it.

With two slashes, Henrika disperses the swarm to her left and a third slash greatly thins the swarm to her right.

Henrika hits wasp swarm #2 for 45 damage and destroys it. She hits wasp swarm #4 for 21 damage.

Since the barghest is dead, Malphene and Trevor can pick new actions. And also, there is no enemy to give a turn atm, so player turns continue.

Xallis and Tychus go. And Trevor and Malphene can change their turn if they want.

Round 3 (Updated)

Pleased and amazed by the felling of the barghest, both cleric and lore warden run toward the next threat, not quite making it around the corner.

Round 4

With his crossbow spent, Tychus begins the laborious process of reloading.

Full-Round Reload.

Round 3

Navia laughs at the fallen barghast, regretting only that she couldn't say some witty comeback along about the food comment. She steps forward and takes a swipe at their most vile hostess.
Navia's claw (shaken, power attack)1d20+13[/dice: 1d6d1d6 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) + 10 + 4 = 23

Xallis clutches his wound before drawing a wand and attempting to cast a spell.
Xallis' use magic device DC 20: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 2 = 28

A lance of lighting arcs through one of the swarms!
lightning bolt vs Swarm #1 DC14 Reflex: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1, 3) = 11

Round 3

Navia’s Claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Damage 23

Navia tries to claw at the pairaka. Although the pairaka has a humanoid appearance, her skin is naturally strong and difficult to injure.

Navia misses Nazinina.

Wasp Swarm #1 Reflex DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Xallis shoots a lightning bolt into one of the remaining swarms and hundreds of insects drop from the sky.

The wasp swarm #1 fails the Reflex save and takes 16 damage. (11 x 1.5)

You can attack the swarms if you want, but they are immobile. They can’t move to harm you. They’ll only harm you if you step in their space. And since they are summoned, they’ll go away on their own eventually.

Xallis is no longer sickened.

Trevor and Malphene move and Tychus reloads.

Round 4

Nazinina Claw vs. Navia’s AC 25: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Nazinina Claw vs. Navia’s AC 25: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Navia Fort save, Large, shaken: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 15
Navia Fort save, Large, shaken: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 18

Nazinina hovers in place and claws at Navia with dagger-like nails. ”I offered to spare you, but you are making yourself a nuisance. Now you’ll have to learn your place.” Nazinina’s claws dig deep gashes and afterwards, Navia feels ill.

Nazinina hits Navia twice for a total of 12 damage. Nazinina has the hover feat and can full attack and stay 10 ft. in the air.

Everyone goes.

Round 4

Malphene, slimed and crying from despair, has made a decision; whatever is behind the corner will die. The lore warden attacks the mysterious outsider.

+1 Longswsord, flanking: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26
Dmg.: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 4

Trevor follows Malphene's lead and attacks.

Godspike, flanking: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Dmg.: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (5, 1) = 8

Icabhod activates his Quick Runner's shirt to try to dart around the Div and flank

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Round 5

As he slides a new bolt from it's casing, Tychus looks up and sees his allies carry the fight further down into the hallway. He rushes after them, hoping to meaningfully contribute in taking down the outsider.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Jack rushes toward the battle raging in the northeastern corner. As he goes, he remembers what the group was told about these creatures, specifically that they cannot stand the color red. As he hustles toward the div, he staunches one of his wounds with his white undershirt, pulling it up from his jerkin beneath his armor. "Oh no," he says comically, "My blood has stained my shirt red. That's quite all right, I love the color red. It means valor, and passion, and it was the color of my favorite dog when I was a child. 'Red rover, red rover' I would say when I called him, 'Come over, red rover!' Look, Henrika, my shirt is red!"

What can Jack do with this and a standard action? Maybe we treat this as a dirty trick designed to affect the div like a demoralization? I can ready an action if the div needs to first descend or something like that-- probably the case if it actually is a dirty trick, since that's a melee attack. Ideally for me the mention of the color red enrages the pairaka and it attacks Jack instead of Xallis. If you'll let Jack do this without it costing an action, he'll ready an entangling dirty trick for when the pairaka comes within his range-- he'll grab its wings with both hands and pull, trying to tangle it up.

Enchanted by magical haste, Henrika bounds swiftly across the room and passes just beneath the hovering pairaka, her footfalls thundering in her enlarged form. She stares at it with her hypnotic stare, and swings her longsword, instructing the blade to protect herself and Jack.

Attack Nazinina (Koriana's blade), defending, enlarge person, haste, Power Attack, size: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 = 14
Damage (magic, slashing), defending, enlarge person, Power Attack: 2d6 + 10 - 1 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 10 - 1 + 2 + 6 = 28
Painful stare: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4) + 5 = 14

I guess I have to use my last hero point for that!
Reroll attack Nazinina (Koriana's blade), defending, enlarge person, haste, Power Attack, size: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 = 31

Round 4

Xallis shifts forward and blesses Navia with an invisible shield to help bolster her defenses.

Seeing her foe taking to the skies, Navia reaches out with one monstrous limb to attempt to bring her down!

Navia's Grapple (will provoke): 1d20 + 10 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 5 - 2 = 14

Hero Point!: 1d20 + 10 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 5 - 2 = 17

Round 4

Icabhod moves into a flanking position.

What can Jack do with this and a standard action? Maybe we treat this as a dirty trick designed to affect the div like a demoralization? I can ready an action if the div needs to first descend or something like that-- probably the case if it actually is a dirty trick, since that's a melee attack. Ideally for me the mention of the color red enrages the pairaka and it attacks Jack instead of Xallis. If you'll let Jack do this without it costing an action, he'll ready an entangling dirty trick for when the pairaka comes within his range-- he'll grab its wings with both hands and pull, trying to tangle it up

I’ll let you provoke the enemy as a free action and you can hold action to do a dirty trick. She will attack Jack next but will have to wait until her turn comes around. Also, she doesn’t have wings. She just supernaturally flies like Superman or something.

Henrika Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Henrika provokes as she moves underneath the pairaka.

Nazinina – Claw vs. Henrika’s AC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 43
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Nazinina claws at Henrika as she passes but her displacement effect protects her.

Nazinina’s AoO misses Henrika.

Then Henrika attacks back and hits the pairaka hard.

Henrika hits Nazinina for 32 damage after DR.

I’ll move Trevor and Malphene closer to the enemy and hold their attacks for when it comes down.

Navia Fort Save, Large, shaken: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 15 Success

Navia grabs at the div but her hands can’t find enough purchase and Nazinina shirks Navia’s hands off.

Navia’s grapple attempt fails. Nazinina used her AoO on Henrika so she does not make one on Navia.

Round 5

Tychus’ bolt comes close but the div’s natural armor keeps it from penetrating.

Tychus misses Nazinina.

Like a bull enraged, Nazinina drops down to attack Jack in a blind fury. She has to move 10 ft. down so that’s going to be a lot of attacks of opportunity. I’ll do held actions first.

Jack Fort Save, Shaken: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 2 = 21 Success

Jack grabs at the div to try to tangle her up but the enemy is more difficult to grab than she looks.

Jack’s dirty trick attempt fails.

Trevor and Malphene both attack once the enemy is within reach. Malphene’s weapon is unable to harm the div and bounces harmlessly off her skin. However, Trevor’s holy weapon cuts through her flesh easily.

Trevor and Malphene both hit Nazinina. After DR, Malphene’s attack does 0 damage. Trevor’s weapon bypasses Nazinina’s DR and does 8 damage.

Okay, attacks of opportunity.

Icabhod AoO, heroism, flanking, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
