Amelia accompanies Junior while magically readying her glaive.

Accept rage song, standard start bard song. Nothing with her two moves and swift actions.

Perception vs Set Spotter: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Amelia spies several likely points of ambush and marks them for the crusaders so that they can set up counter-ambushes of their own.

While the rest of the crusaders debate on the best way forward Amelia picks up a piece of brick knocked off of a mausoleum in the battle. She opens herself to Drezen hearing its inhabitants speak of their plans and preparations from their own mouths.

Casting Ears of the City, hoping that this will work instead of the stealth checks. If not Amelia will join the scouts.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Stealth, if Ears doesn’t work, circumstance: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 4 = 20

Amelia reports her discoveries, ”It’s too late. They’ve already been preparing defenses for the last few days.”

Edit: I guess Amelia can retry the gather info checks twice since it lasts 3 rounds.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Amelia keeps watch outside ready to call out if anything or anyone gets the idea to surround them

Amelia accompanies Junior in the song but does not infuse any magic into it.

Delay for now.

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Amelia smiles, "Don't let the ghouls down there get behind you."

Amelia begins the theme for this particular scenario as strange musical sounds emanate from her instrument. She sings while following Junior,

"It's the new weapon, the weapon of choice
You can blow with this or you can blow with that
You can blow with this or you can blow with that
Or you can blow with this or you can blow with that
Or you can blow with us."

The song goes something like, this.

Inspire competence +2

Amelia gives Junior a knowing smile and just shrugs.

Amelia looks Benedic in the eye with a quiet resolve behind them, "The riskier the road, the greater the profit." She chuckles, "That's a Fredism. I know what you're thinking. Me a former cultist of Baphomet is the linchpin of your plan. If I'm intending to betray you now it could very well doom this crusade. All I'd have to do is distract the swarm for long enough for you to be cut off. Then you all get eaten. Without your power this crusade peters out like the last and no more wardstones to contain the demon armies."

Amelia takes a deep breath, "But if you do trust me, in my intentions and abilities. Your army is kept strong, you'll squash this queen like the bug she is, and Drezen beware."

She turns to Nurah, "Hey, you should back me up out there you know. Nothing more distracting than a loud show tune. Don't be a coward, it doesn't suit us."

So I assume that Anelia needs to use the distraction bard song to effectively draw out the vescavores? And that Junior won't be able to do it with rage song. That would give the party 7 rounds of distraction. Can eagles splendor make that 9 rounds? If so someone should cast it on her, if possible.

I want to snag the summon monster V scroll and have Junior cast it to summon a bralani azata who will then cast wind wall to protect Amelia from the swarms if needed. Junior will also stand by with her and all of our holy water to fight off the swarms. He will cast defending bone from spell kenning to hopefully be mostly immune to swarm damage.

Amelia raises her eyebrows at being put on the spot, her cold stoicism breaks for a moment with the hint of a grin. "You know what? Yeah I think we do."

Amelia continues to strum on her guitar. She sees Sosiel run out to join the effort to take down Maugla and she curses. "M-fer. Fine we'll all die then."

She closes here eyes completely and slowly makes her way out to help drawing her glaive and holding it and using it like a white cane.

Close eyes, continue bard song, double move at 4 times the cost due to blindness and diff terrain.

Amelia joins Junior’s song adding her accompaniment and wisely lets her boss fight the demon directly. She whispers to Sosiel, ”Stay back and provide support at distance, if they fall we run for it.” Something nags at the back of her mind about her plan.

Amelia nods grimly, "Sure thing, but we won't be able to stand against anything more than a single gargoyle. If you hear my guitar you better run back here."

Taking heed of Caliban's idea she tries to maneuver the soldiers out of view.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Amelia continues to dance fight spurred on by Junior and the others.

Mw Glaive vs Gargoyle, inspired rage, amplified rage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 21 It has soft cover.
Good, slashing: 1d10 + 6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 3 = 15

Amelia grips her glaive tightly the song driving her to new heights of anger. She is ready for the attack.

Ready attack for when a gargoyle is in reach.

Ready attack, rage song, amplified rage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 21
Slashing, good: 1d10 + 6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 3 = 11

Amelia follows in glancing around but sees no threats.

Amelia quickly follows and tries to end the same ghoul.

Glaive vs A ghoul: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Slashing: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Amelia fills everyone in also speaking low, "Ghouls. The common variety, shouldn't be too much trouble for you lot. But don't get surrounded. They can paralyze with a touch and we'll have to examine you for ghoul fever if you get bit."

She advances behind her boss.

Amelia knows a thing, local, gallant inspiration: 1d20 + 2 + 2d4 ⇒ (14) + 2 + (1, 3) = 20 So close, really wish I didn't waste a 2nd level slot. :(

Junior sees Amelia thinking hard about something and tells her, "You got this."

She replies after a moment, "No sorry."

Gargoyles B, D, H, J should be Shaken? I was hoping the -2 would impede their shenanigans...lol.

If Amelia got a +2 AC from the nearby soldier it would put her AC at 16 and then if there is an additional -2 to hit on half-fiend it would mean that the first attack missed Amelia. It would still probably commit to the full attack at that point. Amelia is likely still unconscious but it wouldn't have the move action to pick her up.

Amelia saw they already lost the battle. The gargoyles had taken their prizes and the remaining were left to keep the crusaders busy long enough to get away with it. She needed to survive it... she even concocted a plan to do so but, that wasn't who she was anymore. She continued to play her guitar and in the spare moment she had left let the anger emanating from Junior take her as she swung her glaive.

MW glaive vs half-fiend gargoyle D, inspire rage, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 19
Good, slashing: 1d10 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11

5ft back and then attack.

Amelia sings along with Junior, as she does so she pulls out a bag at her hip and tosses it right at the half-fiend gargoyle.

Ranged touch vs half-fiend gargoyle D, inspire courage: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Miss alchemical weapon: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Does not accept rage song, move to draw a tanglefoot bag (provokes but I don’t believe she’s threatened, and toss at nearby half-fiend gargoyle as her standard

Amelia falls into the rhythm and adds her own guitar to the magical music that fills the camp, further bolstering the soldiers to fight for their lives. Catching on to the gargoyle plan quickly she keeps a word of power close to her mind.

Not accepting rage song at this time, Move: to flank with Junior, Standard: Start bard song inspire courage, Immediate if needed feather fall anyone falling within 30ft of Amelia.

Nature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Nature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

If Amelia needs a separate roll: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Amelia is reminded of how a lot of crusaders shun her which puts her in a foul mood. Her mind turns to what will one day become a prayer, "The riskier the road, the greater the profit."

Local: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
SM: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Post later just wanted to see what info Amelia has

After having witnessed Junior drop not one but two heavy tools on his toes she decides to stroll about the camp, rather than witness the slap stick anymore.

She feels the gaze of crusaders on her back but she just ignores them. She listens and talks with the people who will talk with her. Not all of them are too judgemental.

Diplomacy using stringed to gather info: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Amelia puts her hand on Junior's shoulder, "Hey maybe don't make fun of people the first time you meet them?"

Amelia follows Junior to the back and to the right of Junior. She rolled her eyes at his joyful outburst. ”Yeah, just walk up to a demon fortress and bloody their noses, simple right?” she muttered. She knew first hand the power the demons held but this odd group of the insane, idealists, and establishmentarians also had power. And they were a lot kinder than the demons and other cultists, even if they had sticks up their asses.

She clutched her guitar with newly formed callouses from hours of practice. She was skeptical at first about magic through music. But it worked somehow, and she liked it, but most of all it gave her some measure of security. The security the Cult of Baphomet had failed to provide her.

Amelia chuckles a little bit, ”Hey Junior be glad I listened to the rest of what Fred was saying. You know the stuff about not taking advantage. Cause I could probably turn this into profit.” She turns to Benedic with a knowing smile and serious tone, ”Well I hope your friend, if he’s still alive, had good cause to imprison Beatric’s folks. It’s the small betrayals and assertion of power that drove a number of cultists into Baphomets' waiting arms. And if he’s still alive and was wrong, I hope he has the courage to own up to his mistakes.”

"Not that I have any right to judge your friend."

Amelia smiles deviously and inserts herself into Beatric's business, "What was Fred spouting last night? I think it was 'Keep your ears open.'" She clutches a small chunk of brick in her hand and asks before Junior can stop her, "What were the inquisitors doing arresting Beatrics folks?"

She finishes casting Ears of the city

Perception, to gather info: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Amelia leans back on the bar and adds her two cents, "Maybe you'all should ask what Beatrics wants first before planning those two's wedded bliss. That's the problem with you crusader types always assuming you know what's best fer everyone."
