Fragos Voxlauer's page

Molydeus is not inside the field, only Kelgan, Rhiann (who's hiding) and yourself.

OK. The Antimagic field has a 10' radius, centered on her - and we still can't see her?

My AoO, taking into account that all enchantments are down: Attack roll 14+20=AC 34, damage 19+2=21. My weapon is still cold iron, but no longer good or magical.

This also brings up a more philosophical question - summoned creatures "wink out of existence" when the enter the field, only to reappear once it woves away. The demon casting the spell is clearly not a native of this plane - so how is it affected?

Molydeus' axe, and snake head try striking at Tarlan. But have no effect. He clasps his hand and says a few word in abyssal before he trys to fade away.

Fragos, Tarlan, Kelgan, Kutho you all gain an AoO as Molydeus casts invisiblity. Fragos and Kelgan remember to calculate for no magic items.

Huh. How can it cast any spells while inside an Antimagic field?

Fragos shakes his head at the snarling molydeus. "Gotta do better than that." With a flick of his sword, he rains holy fire down on the towering demon.

Using my Rapid Warcasting power to drop a Flame strike on his head as a swift action. Damage 15d6=59, half of which is holy. Reflex 27 for half damage, spell penetration roll 14+21 (Fragos gets +2 on his Warcaster powers)=35. After that, I cast Align weapon on my sword before stepping closer to the bastard. Next round the fireworks start... Concentration/Spellcraft check for defensive casting 13+25=38.

Spellcraft 9+25=34. I didn't realise I was that close. Of course, that means I get to cut it up sooner.

My action for turn 0: Cast Holy aura on myself and then move towards the demon.

Fort 11+29=40.

Lazaro:

"She stabbed me with some sort of poisoned blade, so I knocked her out. She's probably the plaything of the demon that just split. No need to kill her. At least not yet. Now what was that in the other room?"

Fortitude 4+29=33. Did she claw me, or was that a dagger or something similar?

"One second, Giorge." Fragos looks down on the green goo dripping from his cut hand. "You really shouldn't have done that, whatever you are." He lashes out with his sword.

Attack roll 13+28-4(subdual damage)=AC 41, damage 15+10=25 subdual+4 fire. My sword is cold iron if that makes any difference.

"What's behind the door, Giorge? What's the... Um, excuse me, miss." Fragos steps between the newcomer and the pile of manes. "Stay away from those."

Crap! I forgot about the inhibiting power of the sigil. Did anything happen to the mass of manes?

"Are you still here, demon? I guess I shall have to kill you the old-fashioned way, then." Fragos pounces on her.

Initiative 13+7=20.

"Whoa! Demons!" Fragos gesticulates at the quivering mound of fles. "Step away from it; it will dissolve into acidic vapours. As for you..." He turns to the female demon. "BEGONE, and take your noisome minions with you!"

Casting Holy word. There's all sorts of blinding, deafening and killing effects associated with it, but the most important might be that all non-native outsiders in the area of effect are banished back to their home plane. They get a Will save (at a -4 penalty!) to avoid banishment. The baseline difficulty is DC 29.

Knowledge (the planes) 16+5=21. Fragos may be many things, but he's not much of a scholar...

Fragos advances on the pile of flesh. "No matter what it is, it certainly does not belong in a place like this."

Vile Damage for Group 1:

Tarlan: 2
Kutho: 14
Kelgan: 2

All gone now. I'll scratch a Mass cure light wounds. As it can affect up to 19 people, it'll heal any wounded citizens inside the church as well.

"What's going on in there?"

Does anyone in the church have vile damage? As this is consecrated ground, I can heal it in here.

What's happening inside the temple?

Fargos looks at the boulders, the blood-splattered woman and then back at the boulders again. "Step into the church. I can heal our lingering damage in there right away; after that, we can dealwith whatever it is that's falling out of the sky."

Perception 11+12-10=13. Not so much.

"Let's see if we can make our way into the High Quarter. Once there, we should see what we can do in order to destroy this damnable gem."

"We should destroy what we don't take. Those crossbows were nasty."

"Let's do it. We can fly there quickly and relatively safely. Don't let go of each other, though - it'll be a long fall."

Wind walk it is!

"By all means, go ahead and get your blade. We'll take tea later when we get to a more appropriate location." Fragos gestures vaguely towards the northeast. "If not Veluna, then where? I'll get us to a location you deem 'safe'."

"Ah... I..." Fragos can't quite contain himself any more, and bursts into a deep belly laugh. "You might be a demon-tainted, sociopathic bastard, Giorge, but I still like you. Killing you will make me very sad. I suspect that will be a bit down the road, though. Right now, it seems to me like we need to cooperate in order to save our world."

Will 11+33-4=40. What's the source of the effect?

"I burned Shotragot out of your body less than a minute ago, Giorge. It cannot possibly have razed Veluna since then, and you cannot possibly have known about it. I'm starting to think that all that crying and whining was just an act and that you were a willing vehicle for your possessor."

Sense motive 14+36=50.

"Huh. Is that so?" Fragos closes his eyes and touches his holy symbol. When he opens his eyes again, they seem somewhat different...

Casting True seeing. As this is the clerical version of the spell, I can actually "see" Giorge's alignment - if this is Giorge at all.

"Mask is dead. As for you, I have cleansed you of your taint and cast whatever it was that possessed you back into he dark abyss from whence it came." Fragos picks up Giorge's new shield, turning it over a he examines it. "Killing you would have been senseless. You serve a purpose bigger than youself, and it was time for you to return to the path of light."

He throws the shield down in disgust. "Tag along. We're going to Veluna. I'll cure everybody's remaining ills there, and we'll destroy your demonic trappings as well."

We can easily get to Veluna City in a few hours using Wind walk. We'll talk more to Giorge and find out what he's been up to once we're there. Let's fly!

I'll patch Kelgan up with Cure serious wounds. I'll take care of the vile damage once I get to rememorise spells and can cast Hallow. Alternatively, I can Wind walk us to a holy location and heal everybody up there.

I'll drop a Heal on Giorge and on Kutho (who thus is no longer blind).

Six rays? Dang.

"No redemption for her. Unlike Giorge, she embraced her new, foul self; after we burn her body, I suspect nothing will ever grow in that spot again."

not sure I should be blind the save DC vs blinding beauty is only 17 at base..and even if she maxs Cha out a 31 will save should have passed

I'll fix you up once I get close enough.

Fragos moves 12 squares east and 2 squares south.

Huzzah for Haste!

"Get the hell out of the mist! And pull Giorge with you when you do!"

Lazaro:

I'm using it! It seems like as good a plan as any, and it might even work.

Fragos runs towards the pair of unlikely villains. As he draws even with Jahangir and Raizen, he halts. Pointing his flaming sword at Giorge, he intones a spell.

I run 9 squares south. Put me between Raizen and Jahangir.

"Mighty Heironeous! A grave injustice must be undone and a good man restored. Cast the creature Shotragot out from Giorge's body and throw it back into the foul abyss from whence it orginally came! End its possession and banish it from the lands of mortals!"

Miracle cast! Lets see what happens next.

I'm having a really hard time deciding whether to use that Miracle or not. I'll delay until the end of our turn - i.e. I'll act right before Giorge and Mask.

BTW - before we kicked this off, did Jahangir want to borrow my cold iron +5 longsword of speed? That cold iron could be handy against the nymph.

Initiative 4+7=11. Bah.

Missed the Knowledge (religion) chek. After all, my skill modifier is only +24.

Fragos states at the developing tag-team duel with mounting disbelief. "This is ridiculous", he mutters to Kelgan. "I'm all for fair fights and honour and glory and all that, but Giorge is possessed by some infernal monstrosity. We should beat him down and banish that ting from this world. Unless..."

I guess Break enchantment or Banishment won't quite cut the tie between Giorge and his possessor. But how about Miracle? Tha spell can do just about anything, after all...

"True." Fragos allows himself a small smile. "Let's see what our friend has in store for us. Also, don't touch the rock - it is probably harmless, but, if I was him, I'd put some sort of trap on it. Just leave it there."

Fragos comes wandering down the hall as the bell goes off. "A bell? How prosaic." He shrugs. "They knew we were coming anyway, I'd guess. Let's see what they want. And then not give it to them, of course."

Before we move on, I give Jahangir an application of Battle smite +10 damage on your first hit. It essentially lasts forever, but I can only have one going at any time, and I can't use it on myself.

If we knew of this Giorge fellow, what sort of adventurer was he? Was he a spellcaster or a fighter-type?

I thought one of us had a Bag of holding - we'll just dump it in there for now.

As we can loot these bodies at our leisure, do they have anything interesting on them? I'll cast a Detect magic to help the looting.

AoO on the jaebrin passing by: Attack roll 13+32=AC 45, damage 3d8+5+12+1d6 fire=35. 5 of that is fire.

Crap! Amendment to the attacks above - my second attack wasn't a smite, so it hits ACs 5 worse and does 40 points less damage. Thus, it only hits AC 53 and only does 50 points of damage. Sorry about that.

"Ready? Time to shred!"

A bunch of actions:
* I activate my Holy warrior power, which lets me use WIS instead of STR for attacks and damage. It lasts 5 rounds and costs me one Turn Undead attempt. This is a free action.
* I use my Battle smite power on Jahangir, who receives a +10 competence bonus on his first attack. This is a swift action
* I drop the Blade barrier. This is a free action.
* THEN, finally, I step 5' forwar and start whaling on the nearest faerie. I use my Smite power on the first attack - this adds CHA to my attack roll and my CL to damage, and costs a Turn Undead attempt.

Attack results:
Attack 1: 19+39=AC 58, critical confirmation 5+39=AC 44. Damage 4d8+5(wpn)+12(WIS)+20(smite)+1d6 fire x2=95 damage! 2 of this is fire.
Attack 2: 19+39=AC 58, crit confirm 12+39=AC 51. Damage 4d8+5(wpn)+12(WIS)+20 (smite)+1d6 fire x2=90 damage! 2 of this is fire.
Attack 3: 20+29=AC 49, crit confirm 12+29=AC 41. Damage 4d8+5+12+1d6 fire x2=58 damage! 3 of this is fire.

Wow. I rolled three crits in a row... The first two hits might necessitate massive damage saves. Of course, if any one hit brings anyone down, I keep on cutting the next enemy. Too bad I don't have Power Attack or Cleave. If it makes any difference, my sword is made of cold iron.

It would have been fun to drop a Fire storm behind the barrier and burn 'em into crisps, but I'm saving that spell for later. It's smiting time!

"Let's move in and get them. I'll dispel the barrier when we are ready. Where's Tarlan?"

We'll take up positions right next to the barrier. The next round I dispel it, we take 5' steps in and unleash on the faeries.

I step one square east and use my Battle smite ability on Jahangir. His next attack (not the AoO, though) gets a +10 competence bonus on damage.

Thanks to Fragos, my readied attack is now 40, dealing 41 damage if it hits. Wow, it's disconcerting having a damage roll higher than my attack roll.

The best part is that it is a "once per round" power. Touch range only, though, and not usable on myself.

You could set the blade directly on them when forming the wall

Changed my mind - I'll go with this after all.

Fragos steps forwads, muttering a mystical phrase. Immediately thereafter, a wall of whirling, gnashing swords manifests amidst the jaebrin, splattering the walls with their blood and flesh. With a satisfied smirk, Fragos touches Kelgan's axe, which suddenly seems a little sharper.

I move four squares south before dropping the Blade barrier on the faeries. I lands on the column in the rear of the room - it hits the three guys in the middle and traps the crossbowman behind it. This gives us cover from him until I dispel the wall. For some reason, Invisible Castle doesn't work, so I rolled my own damage: 15d6=61 points of damage, Reflex 28 for half.

Finally, as the Ordained Champion PrC lets me use my War Domain powers as Swift actions, I use my Battle Smite ability on Kelgan. His next attack gets a +10 comptetence bonus on damage. Make it count!

I'll just cut them up with my sword. BTW, is there a surprise round? As they were sleeping, they'll start off prone, right?
