Spellcraft, Heroism: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23

Bedlam shares his conclusion that Greater Teleport was used to escape by almost cornered suspect, which is scary as this is powerful magic. But it proves the situation is serious.

Surely the shadowdancer will follow upstairs if another issue occurs...

"Teleported? This is growing exceedingly beyond my capabilities", Miriel worries the information Bedlam gives.

She watches the guests leave, looking with special concern at the poison victim. When the servant comes asking for them, she immediately agrees: "Why, most certainly. We are here to be of assistance in whatever measure is required."

"Maybe but if she is so powerful why did she run?"

With these words Sylvester follows upstairs with the others.

You go upstairs to the drawing room. You see Tespren there in the room, alone.

Please move your avatars to the drawing room on slide 6

Numair raises an eyebrow (after making sure that one of the more martially-inclined party members goes into the room before him).

"Yes? Why did you summon us?"

Khellek enters the room, looks around, and takes one of the comfortable seats near the book case. He seems distracted, spending more time eyeing up the shelves for interesting texts than he does paying attention to the conversation.

Miriel straightens her dress and checks her hair on a mirror on the way upstairs. She enters the room not noticing the wariness of Numair.

"You requested our presence, esteemed sir. How can we be of assistance?" she says and bows to the gnome captain.

Beldam sits i forn of Khellek and observes others lookng at Maldris with expectations, his smile fades as he is thoughtful.

Grog follows the party.

what's going on?

Sylvester looks around at the others waiting for something interesting to happen.

Placed Grog in the room.

Everyone in the group enters the room except Numair who is at the doorway. As some of you are about to sit, Tespren turns to face you.

Khellek looks like he is about to react when suddenly four shapely women pop into existence. The women all have dark hair, dark eyes, a pair of small black horns just above their brows and small, black, leathery wings protruding from their shoulders. They have longswords in hand, ready to strike.

I am not going to have anyone be seated, but you do not have weapons out.

"Quickly my students. Guard the captain! He has been enchanted."

Casts haste. If you think I can get a move action in as well, then I will also start up inspire courage for +2 to hit and damage

can we do a Knowledge check to ID?

Surprise round is a single action.
I have the knowledge check to identify the women (Religion) and identify how they suddenly appeared (Arcana because you didn’t see the casting, only the result).
Was there something else you wanted to identify?

Khellek warns the party that Tespren is not in his right mind and then casts Haste

Round 1:

Bolded may act.
Everyone is hasted.

Religion to identify the women

Sylvester
Red winged woman
Blue winged woman
Green winged woman
Yellow winged woman
Tespren
Miriel
Numair
Khellek
Bedlam
Grog

oh I thought they were demons :p

I would like to know something about what we are facing before I take my turn. Khellek's knowledge check is really good. He must be able to impart some wisdom on his poor students. ;)

Khellek Recognizes the women as an unusual type of demon. As such it should be immune to electricity and poison and resistant to acid, cold, and fire. Use cold iron or good weapons when attacking them. If using spells, be prepared for spell resistance. If they attack with their claws, they can draw the victims life force to give them a temporary boost in health.

Sylvester has already almost had the life sucked out of him earlier this evening and does not wish to repeat the process. He draws forth a scroll from his scroll case and casts Invisibility on himself. He then stays very, very quiet.

Stealth, Invisible and Immobile: 1d20 + 40 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 40 + 5 = 53

Sylvester is Invisible

I don't know if these demons have any targeted spells or SLA but most do. If they cannot see an opponent then they cannot target an opponent. :)

Sylvester fades from sight.

Red looks at Grog and tells him “You are at a fancy party! You shouldn’t have weapons. Toss that greataxe to the ground.”
Will save DC 16 becomes DC 14 because it is unreasonable
Failure, you get out your axe and then drop it on the ground.

Blue decides to swing at Numair. She hits with the first strike but then strikes the doorframe with the followup.
Longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Longsword, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Green looks at Muriel and gestures towards Red saying “My sister is right. Toss that big curved blade away from you, it is improper to have that around at a fancy party.”
Same as Grog except it is your adamantine elven curve blade

Seeing how much armor Bedlam has in comparison to Khellek, Yellow steps over to where she can strike at the scholar and says “How rude! Don’t you how impolite it is to tell all!”

She then swings her longsword at the scholar. The strikes are accurate but not so accurate as to hit a vital area.
Longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Longsword, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Confirm 1st crit Longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Slashing: 5 + 1d8 + 3 ⇒ 5 + (7) + 3 = 15
Confirm 2nd crit Longsword, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Slashing: 4 + 1d8 + 3 ⇒ 4 + (8) + 3 = 15

Then Tespren gets out a tanglefoot bag, takes a step forward, and throws it at Grog. It misses.
Tanglefoot bag: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Save vs enchantment: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 20 +2 from elf, +2 from heroism

"What do you think you know about manners? You don't just pop up at an event, you come through the front door with proper introductions to everyone present!" Miriel shouts a taunt back at the rude lady.

"So, good damage?" Miriel whispers and smiles knowingly. She pulls out a wand from her belt, and touches her blade with it.

Move: Pull out wand of bless weapon
Standard: Cast bless weapon from wand on +1 Adamantine Elven Curve Blade Ainulindale

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27 +2 from heroism

Bu.. tha.. wh..." lost for words at the assault upon his person, the scholar.

Gathering his wits about him, the scholar calls out to his companions. "These demons.. They are nothing we have not faced before. They obviously fear what we can do. So, my students, show them why they fear us."

Inspire courage +2/+2 and +2 vs fear & charm

He stumbles back, checking that Bessie (his crossbow) is loaded.

Then, with slightly shaking arms, he points Bessie at the demon before him. "Stay back!" he commands as he pulls the trigger

attack,haste,IC,heroism: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 16
damage,IC: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Miriel has no trouble ignoring what the demon-woman says as she gets out a wand and applies it to her weapon.

Khellek manages to inspire all of you in spite of his concern for his own well-being. He stubbles back and fires his crossbow, but does not hit.

Round 1:

Bolded may act.
Everyone is hasted.
Inspire Courage, +2 competence bonus to attack and damage, +2 morale bonus vs fear and charm.

Bedlam
Grog DC 14 Will save vs enchantment spell

Bedlam is surprised so much by appearing and Khelleks blood that he immidiately use all countermeasures to counter attack. After unleashing sword he looks at closest woman and Smite this Evil down without hesitations.
Attack, Smite, Haste, Heroism/Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 35

Slash dmg, Smite, Courage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 14
probably +4 dmg more from smite at first hit

Crit confirm? : 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 27

- You are not welcomed here! Return to Abyss!

Numair sighs in annoyance.

"Demons. How distasteful."

He then calmly steps back into the room (5' step), and douses Red and Green in a bright cloud of mica.

Glitterdust. DC 21 Will negates. Nil SR.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

reroll: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

"Demons hunh Khellek and Numair...I thought so!" He turns to the woman, "Nah lady, I don't think I'll drop it. I'll show it to you REAL close like!" He jumps on the pool table and swings. "Here ya go!"

against red power attack fav enemy bane haste inspire courage extra movement from haste

attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

damage: 1d12 + 26 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 26 + (4, 2) = 37

Bedlam draws his weapon, decides that Yellow must cease to exist on this plane, and slices her. The holy smite ignores any protections that the woman would normally have against his weapon.

The strike hits true doing massive damage.
Critical damage: 1d6 + 2 + 8 + 2 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 8 + 2 + 18 = 31

“You will pay for that, mortal!”

Sparkles fill the end of the room. Both women there complain about getting glitter in their eyes.
Red Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11Green Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Grog considers the first demon’s words, then realizes it has a weapon. Hypocrisy!

He climbs up on the pool table as he draws the axe they mentioned. Then he swings down on the one who made the suggestion, easily hitting the blinded woman.

Round 2:

Bolded may act.
Everyone is hasted.

Grog DC 14 Will save vs enchantment spell

Sylvester decides to attempt to blind Yellow with more magical dust. He then takes a step to the left.

Glitterdust Will DC 19 vs Yellow.

Sylvester carefully aims his spell for the corner so it doesn’t include Bedlam.
Yellow Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

“Well, evidently someone likes to decorate. Still, don’t you think your group is overdoing it with the glitter?”

Red doesn’t like what Grog did and decides to attack him with her claws. The first attack is to the wrong area, while the second just fails to hit. Red still has glitter in her eyes.
Which attack picks the right section of the pool table: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Claw, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Vampiric slash: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 31
Concealmenf: 1d100 ⇒ 15
Red Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Blue follows Numair and slashes at him with her sword. Only the second slash hits.
Longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Longsword, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Green claws at Grog twice, figuring there is likely only one place he could be if he was a threat. Neither strike hits.
Longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Longsword, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Yellow follows Khellek but this time switches to her claw. “Come, share a little of your life with me!” She misses.
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Vampiric slash: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Vampiric slash: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Oops, forgot Green’s save
Green Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Round 3

Sylvester

The scholar puts his shoulders back, shuffles his feet and says "Fear not my students. They will fall like wheat before your scythes!"

His own actions seem more focused on trying to bat the demons claws away with Bessie.

Maintain IC and adopt full defence for bonus to AC.
AC is effectively 25 at the moment.

Numair withdraws into the room.

Miriel drops her wand, pulls out her blade and steps to block the blue-dressed woman entering the room. "Oh, we have more ways to decorate! Here, try some nice carvings!" she shouts and takes a powerful swing at the woman.

Free: Drop wand
Move: Ready +1 Adamantine Elven Curve Blade Ainulindale
Standard: Attack Blue (Power Attack, Haste, Heroism, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 26 Damage (Power Attack, Inspire Courage): 1d10 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 = 22

Weapon counts as good now due to Bless Weapon, so it should go through DR.

Forgot from last post: Not an action: 5ft step, toward blue.

Also, the brown line on the floor is Miriel's wand of Bless Weapon.

Khellek goes fully defensive while Numair flees into the room.

Blue says some words that you are guessing should not be said in polite company as Miriel demonstrates the sharpness of her blade.

Sylvester

Bedlam follows the yellow lady who is willing Khelleks blood, stands at a place she just left and slice her ankles wishing to smite away the demon:

Attack 1, Smite, Haste, Heroism/Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 23
Slash dmg, Smite, Courage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 10

Slash dmg, Smite, Courage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 12

- Do you want te recieve Dimensional Anchor into your back to end your misery forever?

Attack 2, crit confirm? : 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 25

red then green if red drops power attack haste fav enemy bard song band evil outsiders

"Get back to the Abyss ladies where you belong! Your heads gunna roll!"

damage: 1d12 + 26 + 2d6 ⇒ (10) + 26 + (4, 4) = 44

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

damage: 1d12 + 26 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 26 + (2, 2) = 36

haste: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

damage: 1d12 + 26 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 26 + (3, 4) = 37

if they both drop he looks towards Khelleck

"Leave the old man alone and fight me! Or are you too chicken to face my axe!"

The scholar pales at the demons words. He replies.

In between ducking claws, he adds
"Ms Magool, I do believe the demon is somewhat upset with you and your sword. Do carry on."

Bedlam smites yellow twice, causing her to pop out of existence after the second swing. Only her sisters hear the line about ending her misery. They do laugh at his line. Green says something in that weird language.

Grog pops Red with his first strike, and then Green on his third strike. Green never saw it coming for her. Neither of them really gets a chance to respond.

Blue responds to Khellek in that same language.

Blue does look somewhat worried, being the last of her sisters here.
