DC 22 Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 success
Noroc is shaken, but stirred to action. He sends out a blazing ray of light tinged with holy energy.

spell attack: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 1 = 22
If that would fail, Noroc will use his hero point

fire: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5, 4, 6) = 23 plus good, if fiend/undead: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 2, 5) = 17

Then bestows some guidance on Bibi. Don't leave Tal in there alone!

Cast a Spell ◈◈, Cast a Spell ◈.

Does Carrufikus mention that a spectre is undead? Asking for a friend.

Who was keeping prisoners here? The seugathi thingies?

Noroc looks about the party. Did anyone catch his name...?

Probably a mimic too, Noroc mutters underneath his breath.

DC 23 Refl: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Noroc avoids a sticky situation.

He moves over behind the rest of the group, knowing his numbness will not be a boon to being grappled, and unleashes a moonbeam of divine energy at the weapon rack. Cast divine lance.

spell attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
spirit: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 2) = 11
Trying to aim around Carrufikus has its drawbacks.

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

With Carrufikus' discovery that the axe is not magically booby-trapped, Noroc's curiosity gets the best of him and he gingerly lifts up the dark crystal hatchet.

Noroc leans over to Elena. He's cute when he gets excited like that.

He takes a look inside the pits.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Noroc sustains his protective spell on Peldur and launches a moonbeam of divine energy at the other...whatever it is. Cast divine lance/.

spirit: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 2) = 11

It's not his best effort.

Sustain a Spell ◈, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Ooh, the electric slide!

Noroc moves into view and bestows a warding spell onto Peldur! Cast forbidding ward, +1 status bonus to AC {sustain].

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Seems sensible. I'll second that.

Noroc, already stuffing a sweetmeat into his mouth, can only nod in agreement.

Noroc gives a yawn. I could take a rest, he says.

Noroc moves to the far side of Wormy Wormerson, trying to give Bibi and maybe Peldur an advantage next time around. Recalling that his spell worked last time, Noroc tries it again. Cast divine lance.

spell attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
good: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 4 = 11

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Noroc has seen many things. This spider thing is gross, though.

He moves into the room (movement provokes if creatures have Reactive Strike and reach) and unleashes a storm of bolts and moonbeams, catching both foes in its line. Cast inner radiance torrent, DC 22 basic Refl.

force: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 1) = 10

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Oh, will that work...? Noroc asks, liking the cut of Carrufikus' jib, and trying a dispel magic of his own on Peldur.

Counteract: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 w00t!

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Noroc looks closely at the door, but doesn’t notice much.

No risk, no reward, Noroc says dismissively as he points Bibi to the set of double doors. Now that we're here, we might as well explore, no?

The purple ugly came from that way, Noroc says, pointing and moving that direction.

Noroc hurries forward to WHAT IN THE NETHER VOID

Without asking other questions, he lets loose a storm of bolts and beams at what Tal has called a seugathi. Cast inner radiance torrent .

force: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4) = 13

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Gee, I wonder if it will be friends with me?

Occultism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
If Noroc learns anything about his new "friend", he will share.

Noroc gives Peldur a bit of protection with a shimmering starlit veil around him. Cast forbidding ward, +1 status bonus to AC/saves vs. enemy's attacks/spells/other effects.

Recall Knowledge ◈, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Noroc's hearing finally begins to return, but not clearly. What does a stairway have to do with this?

Noroc sustains his spell...

cold: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) = 11 (DC 22 basic Fort) and target remains fatigued

...then try and help Bibi out.

Aid Bibi's attack (distraction): 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 2 = 27

Peldur Perrindeldarion wrote:

Peldur throws his arms around the beast.

I picture this (1:50)

I went here myself, with Peldur's quote.

Destrachan net effect.

Noroc steps back (his weapon has reach) and channels the cold already in his numbed hands, cloaking the beast in a freezing void. Cast interstellar void, DC 22 basic Fort.

cold: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13 and target is fatigued.

Noroc can barely feel the earth beneath his feet, and his shoulders sag as he tries to hold his walking stick upright.

Step, Cast a Spell ◈◈. Now enfeebled 2, with a –3 penalty to saves/DCs against Grapple/Shove/other forms of forced movement, treated as one size smaller for wind effects, and personal weight is halved. Some minor positives too.

Noroc shakes off the effect of the attack — if he never hears that again, it'll be too soon — and moves his way to the opposite side of Bibi, his "walking stick" in his numb hands looks menacing but will likely be mostly ineffective. Still, given the state of poor Peldur, it's worth trying...

Aid Bibi's attack (distraction): 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 1 = 17 maybe?

Stride x2, Aid.

Noroc, his ears ringing and his head abuzz, tries to cast a spell. Cast guidance.
flat DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 10 success

He bestows a bit of occult guidance onto Tal.

Cast a Spell ◈. Stunned reduced by number of actions missed (2).

Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Might pass?

Noroc lets out a cry and chases after Peldur, bone devils and dangerous circles be damned. He steps past Carrufikus and into the circle. Peldur? PELDUR!

Not wounded, just...weak, Noroc says unhappily. I'll sleep it off and I'll be okay.

Never seen a bone devil before, Noroc says, nodding to Carrufikus as he tries — in vain — to shake the numbness from his hands.

Ooh, no need to hero point THAT roll! w00t!

Noroc snaps out of his instant reverie with a curt Perhaps target its willpower, if you can, to Elena and Carrufikus as he himself tries a different tack. sending a blazing ray of light streaking toward the bony thing. Cast searing light.

spell attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
fire: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 5, 4) = 25
plus good, if a fiend or undead: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 6, 4) = 24

Cast a Spell ◈, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Noted on prone.

Noroc shakes the cobwebs out of his head — this thing hits hard — and cocks his head to one side, whispers rising in his ears from the void. Cast vision of weakness ◈.

Almost as soon as he does so, his hands feel numb, and his grip on his "walking stick" becomes tenuous. Oh no, not again...

Currently enfeebled 1 with a –2 penalty to saves/DCs against Grapple/Shove/other forms of forced movement. Further actions will depend on what vision of weakness reveals.

Also, Cosmos mystery pre-master gives Noroc resistance 5 against all physical damage. It's not a lot but certainly helps.

Noroc coughs up a bit of blood as he picks himself back up off the floor.

Not clear if the blow knocked him prone or not; if not, an additional action to be had.

Noroc goes to check out the circle of runes.
Occultism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

It's the ciiir-cle of runes, and it moves us all...

”If any of you want to practice alchemy, you can craft your own starter kit from what I see here.”

I've been trying to cut back... Noroc says absently, scanning the notes and eyeing the jars atop the desk. Wonder what is in those?

Noroc shrugs and gives it a try.

Noroc heads to the south to check out the window, and scans the glyphs.
Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Noroc is aghast (not a ghast) at the savagery of the apparitions' assault, and with a glance back at Carrufikus — take care of her, please — he charges into the room and furiously unleashes a storm of bolts and beams at the pair! Cast inner radiance torrent, DC 21 basic Refl.

force: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 3) = 9

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

When the door is clear, he tests it to see if it's locked. Then motions Bibi over to have a look for safety.

[dice=Bibi]d20+5 (E, +1 v. Traps)

Then a look for himself just for good measure...

[dice=Talborel]1d20+11

I copied Bibi's from the party perception at the top of the page, but +5 looks really low. Doesn't it?

Yes. Bibi's tagline says Perception +10, +11 for traps.

Are those words "butterflies" and "rainbows"? Noroc asks playfully.

DC 19 Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Noroc manages to handle the Fort save, saving Carrufikus' guidance chopping not-horses.

+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 1 = 27
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 5 = 16
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 10 = 19
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Strike x3.

Noroc is shaking his head and mumbling to himself. I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

DC 17 Will (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
DC 17 Will (2): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

But he shakes off the worst of the moaning.

Then he hacks at Black.
+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Then hacks some more.
+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 5 = 18
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Then hacks still more.
+1 horsechopper: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 10 = 7
slashing, magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Strike x3. Should Black fall, he'll switch to Red.

Noroc looks apprehensive. I've heard stories about pits like this, he almost whispers. Terrible things. Like a creature made from the skeletal body of a constrictor snake capped with a fanged human skull. It was horrid, lethal, murderous. I hear tell it slayed entire parties!

Noroc sadly shares what he recalls. Belcorra was the worst.

Noroc rummages about in his brain for what he might recall about spirits like this.

Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Ooh! Maybe!

DC 21 Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

As is often the case, Noroc has seen this sort of thing before and is largely unfazed.

He witnesses Carru's success and tries something similar. Cast divine lance.

spell attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
good: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) + 4 = 16

He then offers some guidance to Elena. Cast guidance.
