The fire burns Aviendha a little but Havok manages to jump straight out of the way avoiding any burns (evasion).
Aviendha uses a quick prayer to grant both her and Havok increased divine favor and they slash and claw at the Ifrit right in front of them with their weapons.
"That depends entirely on you Tygora. You have taxed this village and the nonviolent Oread for your own private army. The only way this could lead to a nonviolent resolution would be to release the prisoners without harm and withdraw from this country after giving back what you took. And if you make as much as a wrong move towards that pathfinder, I will fly over that trap you placed in front of us on the floor and pin you to your throne!" Aviendha says with a commanding voice.
Started diplomatic but turned intimidating. Wow, just wow. Why didn't I charge, ah yes, I'm good, darn :P. 3d8+45 would have killed most of the things here :d
Should we search the rooms as well or are they empty empty?
"We might as well go in through the front door next, together."
Aviendha casts a few spells right before the team will open the front door of the main hall.
Casting aid, Bulls strength and Iron skin (+4 nac), sharing those with her animal companion so both have the buffs for 2.5 minutes. temp hp:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Aviendha focusses for a moment and an icy layer covers her lance. She charges the fire elemental her allies are fighting and rides past it on Havok.
Using sacred weapon to make it icy +1 lance. Ride by attack so no aoo.
ridecheck quick mount:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Aviendha quickly hops on her companion, takes out her lance and casts a spell which affects them both.
casting divine favor and sharing it through improved spell sharing teamwork feat they both have
She directs Havok to move to a position from where they can launch a charging strike.
"Well we had hoped to end this peacefully but I guess that was not an option with these guys. We are here originally to retrieve a few Pathfinders whom are being held captive by Tygora. The elder suggested that we rally oreads who might feel similarly like yourself. Apparently she is really putting the squeeze on the people for her personal army." Aviendha explains.
Aviendha does a quick spell using her fervor and strikes at the Ifrit in green as it just hit Roary quite hard.
scimitar+pa+divine favor:1d20 + 9 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 3 - 2 = 221d8 + 5 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 + 4 = 19
"I agree with my companion. Though we are not of this city, we cannot stand by to let the property of this poor man just be destroyed because he did not pay a tax for building a personal army! We may be able to mediate this, but I must stop the flames from spreading first. Innocent lives could be in danger if it is not controlled." Aviendha proclaims and casts create water on a section of the flames to quench them.
Aviendha nods in support of Artian.
"My friends speaks true. It seems this woman has this town and its people in its grip. We wish to ensure your freedom and liberty."
Aviendha greets the barkeep warmly "Ah greetings good man, my name is Aviendha. Yes I suppose we do stick out quite a lot. What my colleague means is that we heard that our friends are probably momentarily being held by the Tygora. We spoke with Artian on the case. He suggested that we come round here to meet some like minded as he to support our case before we present it to Tygora. As well as get a feeling for the local politics."
Its on the left. "Let's head over to the tavern first, perhaps we can get a feeling there how the general populace feels. And it is just across the street as well."
"This sounds troubling. What is your relationship with Tyogra, and what about Koriath, how is his relationship with her? For now we wish to return our friends to safety. We prefer not to meddle with your affairs unless Tyogra is planning something dangerous or malicious."
Aviendha tries to make sure they aren't enemies here.
"We wish you and your village no harm. We only wish to found some of our colleagues and return them home."
Aviendha is a half-orc in a clean set of full plate, wearing a shield emblazoned with the symbol of Sarenrae. She is pretty, but has a serious look on her face.
diplomacy:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
"Hmm what I know is this:
It is common knowledge that the Zho Mountains are home to feral beasts, draconic monsters, and other dangerous creatures.
Qadira’s spellcasters have long practiced elemental magic and conjured genies, and geniekin are relatively common in the region. It is believed that most have gravitated toward settlements in the Zho Mountains, though nobody seems able to confirm this rumor.
The few explorers who’ve tried to locate these communities have found the mountains to be deceptively difficult to navigate, and what looks like a mountain pass from afar is often merely a mirage.
Hope that's helpful. We will try to return these Pathfinders to safety sir."
"Havok withdraw boy. This creature is too dangerous for you!"
You are quite right. thought it had 10 ft reach ¬¬ handle animal:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
fervor heal as swift:2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
As a quickened action Aviendha calls upon her deity to heal her a little, extending the time she can stay in combat.
She then continues to slam into the creature to punish it with the sword.
Ok so +2 to hit and extra 2d6 dmg from bane (assuming it is abberation), +2 to hit and dmg from bull str, +3 to hit and dmg from song and +3 to hit and dmg from divine favor.
"I am thinking that the monster is onto us either way..." Aviendha says tentatively. "What else would appear after we killed the last keeper and apparently is strong enough to break down that building... We should prepare ourselves for a tough battle. Does anyone know what kind of monster we are fighting? And what is that 'YOG-SOTHOTH' call I heard?"
Aviendha will start to buff herself with the following spells until something interrupts or changes which would be seeing a monster or hints thereof: Iron skin, Bull strength, Aid, and protection from evil. Total would give her +6 ac vs evil (otherwise +4), +2 saves vs evil, +3 to hit +2 to dmg (one handed), 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 temp hitpoints +1 vs fear. I have some fervor left to speed that up, but would rather save it for emergency heals.
Both Aviendha and Havok miss the falling debris easily and finally Havok understands what Aviendha wants him to do. He extends his legs and Aviendha manages to grasp them and uses the hippogriff to hurry along towards the exit.
Let me know how far I can get. Hippo has 80 flying speed.
Can I get the hippogriff to carry me towards the exit faster? I'm not allowed to ride it yet, but perhaps it can help me make extended jumps using his strength to carry me. It has 18 strength so it should be strong enough...
Oh dear, all the way back?! What kind of door is there on the west side, because getting back through difficult terrain will be nigh impossible if the building will crash around us. Maybe it is quicker destroying the door than trying to run all the way back.
if not:
Aviendha does a double move the other way while holding on to the railings and/or wall to make it back as quick as possible.
he gets an aoo unfortunately. It is a weaker version. But no confirmation and hopefully the keeper is now grappled. I think I forgot to include a bonus for larger size.
Seeing that the Keeper is trying to casts spells at Havok, Aviendha calls over for Havok to grapple the man.
handle animal dc 20:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Havok understands what Aviendha wants him to do and tries to bite the Keeper and firmly hold him down.
attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 cmb:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Aviendha continues to move forward slowly but surely, holding on to a railing or the wall if she can to close the distance to the keeper.
acrobatics:1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5 That's 35 ft of movement from a double move. Ugh so sloooow.
