Oh look! Hellknights to kill!

That is all.

Ooh!

I might get another chance at Candi? ;)

Now that I am doing 15-16 champion that is.

That balor was a wimp

We're hoping to set Candi up with a ticket swap so she can be in the Champion tier with the rest of us; last I spoke with her player, he had only secured a Soldier tier ticket.

"Yeeessss... I feel as if... WE... Could use... Two more..."

Yes, I do need a Champion tier ticket for Candi. I'd been a little on the fence about trying to find one, but now I feel peer pressured into doing so.

Thanks

It was great fun and a cool conclusion to the demon "arc" that I've recently played with Candi - Siege of the Diamond City, Betrayal in the Bones, and now this.

Lila, when you've finished separating your demiplane from the Abyss, Candi would be proud to host a portal to it at Club Candi, her Calistrian themed beach resort and Pathfinder Lodge.

To everyone else, perhaps we shall meet again at the Siege of Gallowspire where Candi is signed up for the lvl 14-15 Soldier tier (couldn't get a Champion ticket).

Can multiple PCs attempt the same check, and do we have any idea whether or not low results would be counterproductive?

Lila's Abyssal Chocolate Chip Cookies will be put on the bar food menu at Club Candi.

Candi smiles broadly.

Yes.

You will have seen Candi alternately chewing and smoking her cigars. She sometimes eats them, swallowing the chewed up tobacco rather than spitting it out and almost always inhales the smoke, smoking them cigarette-style.

Candi takes a pull off the flask of sun liquor.

Hmm, nice chaser, I should get a couple of bottles for the bar.

She offers Pallas a large and pungent cigar.

Rolled just for me, a mix of smoking and chewing tobacco.

Apologies, not trying to kill steal, just a little over eager to kill this thing.

Candi cleans the demon goo off her sword and lights a fresh cigar.

At least he didn't explode when he died.

Candi comes out of delay.

Candi is momentarily taken aback by the volume and timbre of Lila’s voice, but she quickly recovers.

For a Pastel Abyss!

OK, got my attack all written out and ready to go. Can cut and paste it here as soon as it's Candi's turn.

And after Pallas finishes his attacks, Candi comes out of delay and does her full attack action, correct?

As per our cunning plan, Candi remains on delay.

And so, Lila, Pastel Queen of the Abyss, protects here min-friends!

That's my understanding. Candi is currently on delay.

Candi (bloodrager (arcane)/"Paladin of Calistria"), who will be 16th level by GenCon, hopes to do 15-16 Champion.

You're the Queen of the Abyss, Lila. I'm good with your plan. Candi does have pounce in her current tikbalang form from monstrous physique II. I'll put Candi on delay for the moment.

Upon seeing Koth'Vaul dispel Lila's spell, Candi curses loudly in a mix of Orcish and Elvish.

We know that his "run like a little baby" ability is an immediate action. How about I go on delay while you guys try to provoke him to use this or any other immediate action while keeping a clear charge lane for me. As soon as he's burned his immediate action, I can pounce him. Best I've got right now, but I'm open to other cunning schemes.

I love you guys! Calistrian-style back rubs when all this is over!

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

With Resist Energy (acid) 30, Candi takes no damage and mocks Kauth'Vaul.

When you are slain and Lila rules in your place, then we'll see some real, nasty, burning acid!

So, Candi is now at 112 HP.

Yes, despite her bravado, Candi is impressed by "Mythic Power Attack."

Pallas, if we do this, can you put Candi in a position so that Farquahar can get a heal on her?

Candi flaps her arms at Koth'Vaul.

Cluck, cluck, chicken!

Standard Action Ready attack versus first enemy to come within 15 ft. of Candi.

According to my notes, Candi has bless weapon active on her blade meaning her crits would automatically confirm.

You are correct. I'm just a simple bloodrager, and I can't always keep track of my ten zillion buffs.

If Candi would like to re-roll that nat-1 to confirm that second crit threat, Lila could pop off Misfortune on her. You only get one per day...

Sure, that sounds like fun.

Greatsword critical confirmation 2nd try: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (15) + 28 = 43

Oh my! Looks like misfortune for someone!

Seeing that nothing is within easy striking distance of any of his foes, Pallas waves his hands in a round flowing motion finally pointing at Candi as he stops his whirling dance. (Casting heroic finale on Candi, granting her another standard action, which ends my battle dance)

Thanks, I'd like to see how K'V and the vrock respond to my attacks before I decide what to do with this additional standard action.

Farquahar, Candi may need that heal here.

Yep, that’s my correct AC. Looks like Candi is now at 78/217 HP and her stone skin is down 115 out of 150 HP.

Candi growls.

Even little chicken gnomes with no followers get lucky.

Swift Action Activate arcance strike

Full round action Candi attacks with power attack.

Decided to use mighty cleave rather than shock with Connor’s Virtuoso Performance

I’ll start with K’V. If he goes down or bounces away again, I’ll shift to vrock #3

Bite to hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24
Bite damage: 2d4 + 20 ⇒ (3, 4) + 20 = 27 B/P/S and bypass DR/epic

Assuming that first attack hit K’V, here’s the mightly cleaving attack on vrock #3
Greatsword to hit: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (2) + 33 = 35
Greatsword damage: 3d6 + 43 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) + 43 = 56
Sonic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Finally, I've got three additional buffs running as result of my raging - displacement (which might help with the vrocks?), resist energy (cold) 30, and long arm.

I’d like to leave the decision to our Demon Queen Lila.

Candi's word is now under the effects of Bladethirst. A +4 enhancement bonus that can be converted to the following options: defending, distance, ghost touch, keen, mighty cleaving, returning, shock, shocking burst, seeking, speed, or wounding.

Thanks, I see the base enchantment can't go over +5 so I'll add +2, Keen, and Shock to The Big Stinger.

OK, Candi will take 8 more damage, but she'll still taunt Koth'Vaul because that's just who she is.

I just looked at meteor swarm's spell description, and that fire damage has a 40 foot radius, so I think it's going to affect a lot of folks potentially. Also, Candi gets a -4 to her Reflex save since she was the primary target. Was that already included in the DC 27, or did she actually fail her save?

As the Vrock charges her, Candi takes a mightly swing.

To hit: Non-raging to hit + bonus from raging + haste + inspire courage + good hope – power attack
Damage (as +5 weapon and bypass DR/epic): large greatsword damage + non-raging static + arcane strike + power attack + inspire courage + good hope

Greatsword damage: 3d6 + 13 + 7 + 3 + 12 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2, 6) + 13 + 7 + 3 + 12 + 4 + 2 = 50
Sonic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Reflex save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Looks like Candi will take 8 hp of damage from bludgeoning and 15 hp off her stoneskin which is now down to 85 hp, and she’ll take zero fire damage after making her Reflex save and having fire resistance 30.

Candi laughs at Koth'Vaul

What a scary meteor swarm!

You were braver as little, tiny gnome, Cough’Drop.

Move action Candi flies south 30 feet on an arc which keeps her out of range of Koth'Vaul’s reach until the last square and up 25 feet (climbing at less than 45-degrees so no Fly check needed).

Bonus Mythical Shenanigans Standard action Candi power attacks Koth’Vaul from above.

Base Will save +14 +1 (Runeward Tattoo) +2 (Steadfast Personality) +4 (Indomitable Will) +2 (Good Hope)

Candi laughs

I'm taking Pumpkin Head! He'll be going down fast enough!

Agreed, I think this is just about the most buffs I have ever seen on any character of mine.

I don't know if Lila would even want to do this, but could she continue to be a Society Venture-Captain and perhaps even set up a Lodge in the Abyss? Candi would certainly support such a position if it became a point of debate inside the Society.

Thanks. While I will of course leave the final decision up to the newest Queen of the Abyss, I think something on the human petitioners would be nice, perhaps a meteor strike?

Lila, will we be invited to your realm-warming party?

As the scrolls fly, Candi casts monstrous physique ii on herself and takes the form of a tikbalang as well as starting to chew on a fresh cigar. Hopefully, the burning one she spit out in the Rift of the Repose is not a fire hazard there. As a bit of tobacco juice drips off Candi’s large, horse-like chin, she turns to Lila.

I am honored to be here at the founding of your new realm, and I know that you will make the Abyss great again!

I’ve made Candi’s icon large and moved Pallas one square to the south.

I’m not totally clear on the planar effects. Can each of us chose one of these? Is this on a turn and would it count as a standard action? Or do they operate in some other, totally different manner?

Are the chaos storm difficult terrain and/or do they block line of sight? In other words, can Candi charge/pounce through them?
