You don't know I diedLynora, could you retire Renkai Urmas please? also a good chance he will be undead and unable to be raised =D
It doesn't have to be this way. If you follow my master, he may spare your life for now. The living are by far more creative than the unliving in general, the transformation sometimes loses something essential in the process...
I can do it as a single attack, with my main hand but okay I just assumed you had some ability and counted the damage on the fella =) Something to keep in mind for any future characters, only effective way I've found is two weapon feint (give up one attack to auto flat foot the rest) or dazzling display + performance combat feats/rules
@Carlos I did a feint... All attacks at flat footed you know it's a move action normally to fient? can't do a full round attack, unless ya got something that lets you do it as a swift. regardless though ac flat vs not is difference of of 29 vs 31 -edit- this is a really really lopsided fight btw, but you are very aware of this.
Just for reference most undead are not immune to sneak attack and criticals. The demon is a NALFESHNEECR just fyi, the antipaladin took fiendish bond rather than weapon =D
A single blow lands through the tough skin of the demon, and now their full onslaught begins(28dmg unless your weapon bypasses good dr then 38) the knight strikes lightly with a mailed fist and utters a demonic phrase
the demon then begins his attack at his masters nod
your dispell courses over the scowling knight to no effect (could only get cantrips off him with that check, 26+spell lvl is target number) I've never collected undead, but my master demands tribute of his adversaries... The schools pupils will be culled and harvest like so much wheat. There lies beyond this town a vast army the likes you can't imagine. But have no fear, you will soon know plenty... Malshor the maleficent, come we have work to do He raises his hand and a large demon appears next to you as he himself teleports opposite of you, you feel a string attach to your very soul as he utters an arcane phrase (you are unholy smited) the stench is strong, sulfur, brimstone, death and rot fill you
the flapping gets closer and a large shadow descends on Renkai... a man in spiked full plate riding an monsterous undead dragon hovers now before him Ah, one of the students has left the nest... time to pick off the strays while the mother hen is away. He leaps off the dragon and lifts a large bastard sword writhing in dark energy I hope you've made peace with this life, you just might be living it along time.
Spoiler: The unicorn without its rider seems to be resisting the urge to destroy you but it still attempts to corral you, as the heat reaches its apex the wights rush in on you giving you little opportunity to flee, the gunslingers bandolier catches fire, and a bright light consumes its body as it ignites into a fireball (reflex 18 half)
Three of the wights explode into smaller explosions as they rush into you and the corpsebomb. (reflex 15 for half)
[spoiler]
the riderless undead unicorn looks at you with defiance, the heat at your back is making you feel as if your back was touching an iron, the body is bloating into a size you wouldn't believe possible, you now see the wights cutting of your escape down this road, the unicorn seems to be badgering you towards the undead gunslingers corpse
You cannot hear his wings? He rides here now the unholy light in his eyes dies... and with it you think you hear a whisper thank you.... the sounds of the wights are much closer now
Why do I have a bad feeling about this? because sometimes dying is not the worst thing that can happen...
the flapping of large leathery wings can be heard over this small violent clash I'm not trying to change that, but my master is and will. the dead gunslinger states I recon I'll be parting ways with you by your next exchange, but let me leave you a parting gift similarly to before you can feel a heat being given off his body, I'd run if I was you he says with a slight grin as he aims up his final shot and steps back 5 ft
when I said you'd defeat the gunslinger, there's of course more to this harrowing journey =D
as renkai charges in his fists unleashing his fury the undead unicorn attacks as his rider is attacked
the rider takes the blows and dismounts, his feet stagger as he barely catches himself and levels his rifle again Lively critter ain't ya
The feral sounds of wights can be heard coming from the side road
The horseman takes the hits without flenching, a torrent of 5 bolts strike him and one his mount as the rogue lands on his feet he fires off three beams of light
A long horseman with an aura of several divinations going has a long rifle aimed at Renkai, a long straw hangs out of his mouth Aye'yup, thought that was out fellar. Ah Hey you he barks Mind a hoppin on down from there and just dying for me, it'd make things a whole mess easier... Spoiler: his face holds no humor, emotion, only the vague wriggles of something just beneath the skin and the constant darting of his eyes give you any impression he has any life to him, his horse a skeletal remenant of a unicorn it's head hung in eternal shame
The sound of large leathery wings can be heard from his hiding place, passing quickly over head. A amplified voice can be heard from the sky Stop your quivering master shi, keep the herd on course and be not afraid
Spoiler: the voice trails as it flys further Renkai can see and feel the herd passing through this town, a vast swatch of rotting mangy animals of all types slowly heading their way, a second cowbell can be herd from what he only can assume is the rear of the herd. Without warning three spears of light appear in walls to his room, one strikes his middle toe in his foot and the pain is immense as if shot, the toe is gone, and the boot is somehow whole. A fly that was in the path of one of the other beams is vaporized
Sure on anything questionable from here.
The gnome leaps onto the backs of the Aurochs and tries to get them to hurridly turn around Hurry! hurry! move it you dumb oafs there's a villian ahead! The wights shield there eyes from the light of the fireballs and race around the building to provide cover the gnome glances up Renkai gaining on the herd and makes a snap decision to run away, he lightly leaps from the back of each auroch in an attempt to escape over the herd, Monastic tatoo's can be seen covering the gnomes back, one for all four schools of earth, wind, fire, and cold the cowboy continues to clang at it's sonerous pace
The moans of cattle, lethargic from the cold grip of undeath can be heard in the distance.... a lone cowbell leading the herd More cowbell! Renkai squints and see's a small half naked gnome leading the herd down the street as he moves back into the shadows, he notices four wights moving from the direction he came, noses low towards the ground sniffing at the air
Spoiler: Renkai ducks under the undead flail, swinging his razor edged blade at the creation of dark magics. The teeth of the dog bite into his shoulder slightly, but are caught in the cloth of his cloak, tearing the apparel away without breaking the skin The dogs teeth fall and break from his mouth in a shower of calcium fragments, his guts spill open, the stench and heat is incredible... The girl giggles even as her head is severed from the body It's only just begging mister... Her head lands just as the glow from the dogs belly erupts into ichor and gore and heat, her own body is begging to glow... considering how much larger she was than that runt, the resulting explosion might hurt...
¨Since, by looking at the class list I can't find anything that interests me, I'd say yeah, headmaster. Should I go take a tour of the school and get myself in my dorm while you work out details with Kaetar? Iolth kind of shrugs, and looks at Kaetar. ¨Hey, you'll do great with whatever you do, 'kay, Kaetar? I mean, look at me, I was damn near insane when you found me, and now I'm a happy, cheerful, perfectly normal-well, not really normal, but anyways-tiefling. Trust me, if you can salvage my mind, I'm sure you'll get to be a teacher of your own class at some point.¨"Does Kaetar serve as a means to balance you out yo the point you don't blow up cities?" the "child" grabs the dog by the tell wielding it as some deranged flail and swings it into the man Good boy! Eat!
the girls head pivots 180 degree's hollow pits where her eyes used to be glisten wettly See whiskers, I told you food would come, master wouldn't lie to us... whiskers is now in full view, a bloated mangy dog, it's entrails held in a glossy thing stretched stomach. A palpable heat can be felt as its eyes light with a possesed gleam... the "girl" touches the belly and it begins to glow and they both rize awkwardly to the stranger
Thought it looked like it was an alias mess up... Something that's been lurking story wise for year nearly.
Renkai see's a small girl her back turned, franctically urging her pet to wake up. a limp mangy tail can be seen in the shadows where she is crying Don't worry we'll find you some food, don't die on me again
A small dogs whimpering and the faint voice of a child can be heard in a nearby alley It's ok whiskers, we'll find you some food, this place can't be completely empty... you can do it, we'll make it
"Of course, I am always prepared" he snarks.
bump
makes his rounds through the army, a critical eye towards every detail. The intelligent undead occupy the majority of his time, as they are at least interesting, and possibly more useful during the complex tides of battle, and what's left of his soul still cherishes the conversation... even if he's loathe to admit it, if not unable to.
returns, undead bison in tow.... the grass no longer interests them, blood mats their fur and they stand listless in the wind, occasionally snorting as if there was something they should be doing but cannot recall
Carlos heads towards the herd and does his asigned task
Come join me Faust, we have work to do for our master.
Leaps to the back of his dragon and commands one of the leapers to follow on foot I will herd the herd towards you when you find a position and then we will gather our masters new minions he speaks into the air NALFESHNEECR my servant come When the demon appears he speaks to it My master has bid us to create more undead minions for the upcoming battle, we are off with this creature to go infect a herd of aurochs, you will assist
I'll lead the attack at once if you permit it!
Power regardless of it's form must be respected he states flatly
I understand, just designate where and I'll take the sky with Fleshrender and we'll defeat those before us he spends a few minutes in an elaborate summoning ritual that culminates with a large rent into another realm, fetid smells fill the area as a huge undead dragon lumbers through the portal
Armies. I have no experience with military matters on that scale, but if it is your wish I will lead.... he pauses a moment from the front I hope
Just tell me where to go and I shall be your tool of death, this soul you shall dine on
Yes it does, who shall be chosen first to have the honor of destroying those children?
dot
Nothing screams evil like exotic weapons and spiked armor!
Well I'm working on adjusting the background, but here's the bruiser Carlos Rexach (dice for hp at lvl 2, barbarian)
aww so disappointed!
Why on earth would you waste a perfectly good beholder on a king! The king should be your puppet if you can manage it, not dead!
rather than post asking when, just do it =D And yeah Big OM, I personally had to debate between anti paladin/bard and this anti-paladin/wizard. I'm not sure I'd go archeologist bard, giving up the performances is hefty... And I think a bard with more "manipulate the crowds" kind of focus would be awesome for a evil campaign.
I was actually surprised by the number of applicants that wanted to play fetchling, dhampir, tieflings, aasimar etc... or even halfling tieflings... I'm a little surprised we didn't see a summoner in there, undead traits would go a long way with the channel neg energy running around. The no bards surprised me a little, and with the cleric options I see why some didn't opt for the oracles, although a juju oracle seems pretty scary...
yay, the waiting is nearly over!
