![]() The harpy is hit with Mogmurch's final bomb attack (that's four total bombs thrown in this combat, from my count. Did you use any in the challenges?) The singing has stopped, and the goblins come to their senses. Squealy Nord looks at the goblins like he is going to gore them if they don't heal his master. ![]()
![]() "SQUEEEEEE! SQUEEE! SQUEEE!"
It is at that time that Chuffy remembers that getting truffles for their favorite handcakes is why they were here in the first place. 1d4 ⇒ 3 truffles consumed already... one still available. ![]()
![]() Poochie is on delay... Dakang suddently shrugs, and wriggles out of the body he was inhabiting, causing it to fall to the floor.
Party is up.

Roudi, it looks like you were reloading with a paper cartridge, right? It was regular bullets that you soaked in the blessing water, as I recall (especially since soaking paper cartridges probably wouldn't make sense!) Roudantaimi was waiting for this, and fires, but the bullet harmlessly bounces off of the demon's skin. Dakang then has his copycat up and ready. Finally, he casts a spell at Jeander. For a moment, terror rises up in the wayang's gullet, but he throws it off and is merely shaken.
Party is up! The Demon Himself: Round 5:

![]() sense motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 Dakang looks at Roudi, notes his stance, and ponders for a brief moment what he is going to do. Confident in his defenses (especially given Roudi's previous failures to hit) he starts casting. Unfortunately for Roudantaimi, he fails to hit the demon, but does manage to destroy the duplicate. Dakang then casts inflict light wounds (as a spell-like ability) one more time, targeting Vox (who is casting), Strong Brute (who appears rather wounded), and Jaender (who actually hit him).
Vox Concentration DC18: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 (Spell is not disrupted!) Dekang then moves 5' along the wall, and reinstates his copycat. Party is up!

He indicates the four zombies, who were obviously once aasimar, and are all wearing holy symbols of Korada. "I even hold the Staff of Korada, and have corrupted it to my use. You shall be no more than a minor setback to me, and once you are gone, I will have a new body, and new servants, and the mendicants that live at this temple shall accept my word over any lies you may have told about me!" "Sifkesh curse these intruders to their DOOM!"

Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment: The Demon Himself: Round 1:
Conditions/status

![]() Once everyone is in place, an obese human man steps confidently to the podium on the high balcony in the chapel. He is draped in layers of cloth trimmed with small bells that jingle lightly as he moves. The man’s bald head is surrounded by a thin fringe of gray hair, but the lower half of his face is wrapped in a white silk scarf stitched with a line of unusual double-arrow symbols. See tactical map for the symbol He smiles, and then leads the assembled congregation in their devotions, which they repeat back to him.
Ht then looks out over the congregation, noticing the Slayers. "My fellow Believers of Korada, I welcome you. It is indeed another peaceful day here in the Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment. I see that today, we have visitors! Welcome, friends, and may the blessings of Korada be upon you all." He then takes a deep breath, stretches, then continues. "Vantian! The City of Open Windows! It is a city of peace. No crime, no heartache, no pain...just continued devotion to Korada. Indeed, Vantian is such a peaceful, blissful city that every day, portions of it fall into the sea - but the residents manage to rebuild without a second thought. Harmony, pleasantness, peace in all things - would that we could all take the path that Wei has chosen. I, myself, would have done it long ago were it not for my duties here. To all of you, though, I urge you - if you are considering such an act, please see me. Wei chose to take his own life, and he chose a painful method. I assure you all, suicide does not have to be such a grisly scene - the blessings of Korada have gifted me with means of achieving it painlessly, effortlessly and peacefully. "Regardless of your decision, however, I would encourage you all to attempt the Kiss of Korada. I, myself, have taken it a number of times. I know that the price of failure is great, but for those who are true of mind, sound of body and aligned with Korada in every way, it is a wonderful experience and a true show of your faith. Remember - every failure should drive you to try harder. If you fail, do not despair! Simply see it as the opportunity that it is - an opportunity to improve yourself, to focus on the true teachings of Korada and to try again soon. And, if you do happen to fail the final time, as Wei did, you should truly consider the advantages of leaving this realm of despair and traveling onward to a land of glory. "As we leave today, please take a moment to assume the symbols of celestial silence and contemplation." The worshipers produce vials of ink and begin marking each other’s faces with double-arrow symbols above and below the eyes and above and below the mouth. The worshipers attempt to do this in reverent silence. They gesture to the Pathfinders, offering to decorate their mouths and eyes as well. "May the Peace of Korada be upon you!" he says before he turns and leaves. |
