Realistically, I'm not going to be able to meet the posting requirement at this point. I'll finish out the current dungeon, but after that I fear Rimy Jim will have to sail off into the sunset.

"It seems like all ye landward folks do is eat!" Jim grumbles, but makes no move to stop Justinius. "Ollie, singin's fer workin', drinkin', 'n killin'. Ye want a dinnertime serenade, get yerself a bird."

Round 3 / Initiative 21

GRANTING PARTY:
+3 HIT & DMG (competence), +3 SAVE vs CHARM (morale); feather step

Jim responds with his chanty.

"On sea 'r on land, 'r underneath, a pirate goes where he pleases;
'N yer 'kingdom' be in our cellar, so stop with yer lies 'n yer... teases!"

Jim grumbles in irritation at himself, then chants out an incantation to quicken his limbs and reflexes.

"Let's get this done quick, one way 'r t' other, fer I got places t' be;
Brothels 'n bars, 'n gamblin' halls, 'n ships on the wide open sea."

Behind the Scenes:
Economics - Standard: casts allegro; Free: maintains inspire courage; Move/Swift: none.
Jim will choose the +2 to hit and +2 dodge bonus to AC/Reflex from blessing of fervor.

Oi! Jim lands gracefully on his feet, his massive frame easily absorbing the impact minimalized by his favorite pair of boots. Fightin' dirty, eh?

I realize that currently it couldn't get me within melee range, but for future reference, would you allow Jim to move vertically with bladed dash? If so, he would then obviously fall immediately afterwards, but it would still be mighty useful.

Wow.

Between Jim's mighty chops and Justinius' barrage of well placed stabs the huge wrathspawn all but vanishes in a deluge of inky black viscera. The Flame Queen's two 'normal' eyes go wide with shock at the display. "Impossible..." she mutters.

I wouldn't want to fight us.

Arrr, I forgot me flankin' bonus, if'n that wrathpup's still alive fer me t' swing at! Against that ugly get, Zenovia'd have a 26, 37, 'n 35 t' hit, with only a 23 t' confirm the crit on her last swing.

"'Cause pirates sing when happy, 'n only two things make 'em such:
Grog 'n blood! 'N 'tis yer misfortune, for not a drop 'ave I touched."

Jim taps into his arcane power and funnels it into Zenovia, who merrily chops away at their demonic foes.

Behind the Scene:
Economics - Full Round: full attack action, 2H Power Attacks; Swift: using Arcane Strike feat; Free: maintaining inspire courage, and choosing the extra attack from blessing of fervor.

Jim will attack the wrathspawn until it is dead, then move on to the Queen of Flames.

Not sure that crit threat will hit, but just in case:

Also seeing an opportunity to dispatch the recently arrived monstrosity Jim moves to flank the creature with Justinius, then booms out a chanty as Zenovia chops into it's flesh.

But there ain't no thing more 'orrible than when a pirate sings!'

Nate: FYI Jim's invisibility is actually from a regular invisibility spell Oliver cast when Jim began exploring after the elemental swarm; his only actions since then have been Stealth and Perception checks.

Jim absently picks at his teeth as the others layer enchantments on themselves, yawning as Justinius works himself up with his steely-eyed speech, then the pirate scratches himself through his britches.

Once he's regained his senses, Jim rejoins the party. At Val's explanation of the basin, Jim leans over and sniffs at the water. Huh.

"Me senses 'r keener than a nobleman's sword fer the time bein'; I'll take a peek ahead 'n see if'n anythin' else is waitin' fer us, invisible 'r otherwise."

Assuming he notices no other exits from the pool room, Jim heads back to the nearest unexplored egress and sneaks forward attentively.

Next the pirate finds himself in a glass-lined pit smeared with blood and shot through with the promise of pain. Meanwhile, his vague impressions of the rest of the party would seem to indicate their victory over the invisible attacker.

The burst of light catches Jim's attention, and suddenly he finds himself immersed in swirling chaos which briefly resolves itself into a steaming canyon boiling with tormented souls through which he catches glimpses of the "real" world.

Meanwhile, to everyone else, the pirate begins squinting and grimacing more than usual, obviously disoriented.

Val, I'm only down 14 hp, but if you've got a bunch of cure light wounds taking up 1st lvl spell slots, I wouldn't mind one.

"It's naught but a scratch, Val, but if'n it makes ye feel better, feel free.

"Knock yerself out, Justinius."

Rimy sheathes Zenovia and gives the slain fiend one last look before stepping back out into the passage.

ROUND 1 / Initiative 5
GRANTING +3 TO HIT/DMG (competence) & +3 SAVE VS CHARM (morale), feather step

"We've fought men that were flies 'n they fell t' our blades,
Soon this mantis will be amongst them upon whom we've preyed."

Jim attempts to shrug off the effects of the magical cold as he continues his assault against the devil, assisted by Justinius's presence, then...

"Get 'im, lad!"

At Jim's encouragement, Justinius lashes out with an attack!

Behind the Scene:
Fort Save vs slow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Full Attack Action: two handed power attacks.
Zenovia to hit 1: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 19 + 3 + 2 = 39
Zenovia dmg 1: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 36

Zenovia to hit 2: 1d20 + 14 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 3 + 2 = 33
Zenovia dmg 2: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 35

Zenovia crit confirm on 1: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 19 + 3 + 2 = 40
Zenovia crit dmg 1: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 31;

Swift: uses Decisive Strike on Justinius, granting him an immediate attack that bypasses all damage reduction at an additional +1 to hit. This attack doesn't count against his actions on his turn.(Jim spends 1 mythic power to activate); Free: maintains inspire courage.

ROUND 1 / AoO on Initiative 26
GRANTING +3 TO HIT/DMG (competence) & +3 SAVE VS CHARM (morale), feather step

Zenovia lashes out at the opening in the monster's defenses almost before Jim himself has time to react, his surprise evident in the accuracy of his swing.

Whoa there, Zenovia! Ye're an eager one this mornin'!

Behind the Scene:
Zenovia AoO to hit: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 3 + 3 = 26
Zenovia AoO to dmg: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 33
For every crit, there must be an automatic miss. Maybe I shouldn't have expanded my crit threat range... ;)

The creature snarls at you as its wound begins to seal back up. Reacting quickly, it unleashes a flurry of attacks...

"Seal back up" as in DR, or as in Fast Healing/Regeneration?

SURPRISE ROUND (?)
GRANTING +3 TO HIT/DMG (competence) & +3 SAVE VS CHARM (morale), feather step

Well there's somethin' we don't see every day.

Zenovia is suddenly in Jim's hands as he belts out a rousing chanty.

"I'm quick as lightning, she's sudden as the flash,
Now we're behind ye with a dash and a slash!"

Jim suddenly rushes into the room past the creature with preternatural speed, leaving a shimmering trail of icy mist behind him. On his way past the mantis-thing he swipes at it with a two-handed swing of Zenovia.

Behind the Scene:
I'm assuming this thing is Large size.
Standard: casts bladed dash moving past the creature and ending adjacent to it on it's far side, on the way by attacking with a two handed power attack:
Zenovia to hit: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 19 + 3 + 3 = 42
Zenovia damage: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 31

Zenovia to confirm crit: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 3 + 3 = 39
Zenovia crit damage: 1d6 + 18 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 9 + 3 = 36;

Free: spending a point of mythic power to begin inspire courage bardic performance (Lightning Performance mythic feat).

Hopefully this is enough to get everyone's attention!

Eh? Ye feel that, Zenovia? I thought there was somethin' odd goin' on - like I could see 'n hear everythin', but then I could feel folks as well. Guess bein' part monster has all kinds o' perks... Jim unconsciously scratches at the scales hidden by his coat's high collar as he crouches next to the opening.

Best take a peek 'n see what's about t' have it's day ruined.

Behind the Scene:
Jim will peek into the room, trying only to expose his head around the entrance, cartoon-style.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 if'n ye need it.

GRANTING feather step TO PARTY

Jim steps forward and handily slices an ample opening in the barricade with a few two-handed strokes of Zenovia.

"Right; anyone as can see in the dark, with me. 'N watch ye don't go kickin' this rubble 'n makin' an awful racket." Once eyesight has been determined/bestowed, Jim creeps forward into the tunnel, giving pointing out impediments to stealth via handsignals to any who accompany him into the darkness.

Behind the Scene:
Will cut down the barricade using whatever actions needed; average damage for 2-handed power attack with Zenovia is 30. Will resheathe her when complete.

Round 1. Standard: using Tactician/Stealth Synergy if anyone else is capable of seeing in the dark. Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34; Movement: will move 30' into tunnel; Swift: none; Free: none.

In reviewing when I can take contingency, I've discovered I had some mistakes on the sorcerer side of my spellcasting. I've corrected the following on my character sheet:

  • Caster Level for sorcerer spells is 4, not 6
  • Added mage armor and resist energy to spells known

    Sorry about that folks, misread/misunderstood how the spellcasting and bloodline levels gained from Dragon Disciple worked.
