"Many have tried to take what's ours, and they learned their mistakes too late!" Targrish has no patience for the blustering of these invaders.

Plus any weakness from EV

"Eh, back to the Abyss with you!" Targrish nudges the demon with his boot. "These attacks won't do. After we fight them off, we'll have to get to the bottom of who sent them."

"All alone now, you monster!" Targrish taunts the remaining fiend as he slices at it.

With his previous target out of sight, Targrish focuses on the toad demon.

kukri: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (19) + 26 = 45 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 + 4 = 15

Targrish also decides to focus on the leader, looking for her eldritch weaknesses and counting on the protection of his mirror and amulet.

Exploit Vulnerability, Stride, Amplify Vulnerability

Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28

AC 36, +2 on saves, and concealed to the succubus, AC 34 vs everyone else.

"So be it. Luckily, I've got on my good boots." Targrish prepares for the trip, patting himself down and checking for any lingering injuries.

I'll cast life boost on myself and refocus.

"Only thing worse than a vrock is a group of vrocks," Targrish remarks as he attempts to tame his static-charged eyebrows.

"Let's patch ourselves up and sally forth. Desert or swamp, friends?"

Targrish calls on the mysterious magic of his patron and blinks across the battlefield, slashing at the vrocks with additional force.

Cast blink charge, Strike

Strike: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 + 4 = 11 and force: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 4) = 12

Targrish reacts and flicks out one more chakri.

One chakri left.

chakri: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43 for slashing: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 = 12

Targrish strides out of range of the electric storm, then flicks a pair of chakri into his hands and throws them at members of the swarm.

Reflex: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

chakri: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32 for slashing: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11

Fortitude: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42
Poison: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 6) = 20

Targrish slashes at the vrocks and backs away from them to avoid more damage.

Kukri: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (4) + 26 = 30 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 + 4 = 11

Fortitude: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30
Poison: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 1, 8, 5) = 21

Assuming I can target these as a group?

Targrish attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities of the vrocks, then whirls into them, attacking with his kukris.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31

Kukri: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (3) + 26 = 29 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 + 4 = 17

Plus Weakness

Targrish limbers up and polishes his mirrored amulet, "If it's not devils, it's demons! Let's cut them down to size."

Seconding the vote for immediate threat.

"Excellent!" Targrish exclaims. "Well, we've got warning of the attack, and that's the best thing. Time to set some traps and look for lines of attack. I wonder if 'visitors' always arrive in the same place?"

Leveled up, except for maybe buying some gear, grabbing another card or two.

Yes, and some useful runes, too.

Targrish checks through Drustan's belongings for notes or correspondence. "Yes, good riddance indeed. But are we done with these Unmatched? Arodeth, has he mentioned them before?"

Targrish shifts his attention to one of the devils, looking for its weaknesses, then approaching and slashing at it.

Exploit Vulnerability, Stride, Strike

Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35

kukri: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29 for slashing: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 + 4 = 18

"Your evil ways won't avail you! Who are these Unmatched?!"

I'll keep it, blah.

With the help of his allies, Targrish weathers the attacks and continues to slash away at the nephilim.

AC 35, Concealed to Drustan

Thanks, team. I think I'm at 118/166 now (Aicard prevented 42 and healed 42), AC 35, Concealed to Drustan

I'll stay on my feet and take the damage. I'm getting torn apart! :)
Mental: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4) = 10
Amulet reduces the crit to 38 slashing
Reflex: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
44/166

Targrish suffers some serious wounds, though he dodges the charge of the troop.

He calls on the power of his implements against and slashes at the devilish commander.

AC 35 and concealed vs Drustan

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16

He bleeds a bit, but the wound quickly closes.

"Pharasma shouldn't worry herself. This one is going straight to Asmodeus!" Targrish uses his own means of seeing Drustan's destiny, then moves in to ensure it with his sharp blades.

Exploit, Stride, Strike
Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41

kukri: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 + 4 = 17
Plus and Weakness

Reaction: I'll use Amulet the first time he hurts someone to reduce the damage by 15, then by 5 for the rest of the turn

Targrish glances at the others in the group with eager eyes--as much for the possible information that could be wrung from Drustan as for the Harrow card.

"Let us discuss that, briefly. Your leiutenant has caused us a deal of trouble, and we'd like to get to the bottom of his activities."

"Returning here? Interesting." The dwarf glances around the room, looking for defensible positions.

"Will you confront him about his 'extracurricular activities'?"

"Did he usually hole up in Cheliax, then?" Targrish fishes for information.

Targrish's curiosity is piqued. "Eh? Research? What do you study?"

Targrish stands in silence as Vashta takes her accustomed place as negotiator. Arodeth is not what he expected, a kindly-looking old woman, all of them had learned through hard experience that a soft hand often wore a poisoned ring, as they say in Daggermark.

This may be the Countess of Barstoi all over again. Though, hopefully Arodeth's skin won't peal off in such an upsetting way.

Targrish keeps a wary eye on the enemies. He raises a bushy eyebrow, but follows into the next room.

Perception (Sense Motive)[/ooc: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

"We'll need to clear this whole area out if the Stairs are to be passable." Targrish grumbles. Fighting bandits, at his age. "Let's try to cut off the head of the beast. Afterward maybe we can convince some of the fighters that a quick trip to Kaer Maga to look for work is more conducive to a long life than staying here."

"Very well. Let's check on the other chamber." Targrish leads the way to the other statue.

Targrish studies the niche.

Occultism: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25

"I can't make any sense of it. Probably some Thassilonian relic--best not to mess with it. It's a liable to capture our souls as anything else."

Targrish points to the entrance at the base of the north statue. "Time to finish cleaning up."

"The Stairs are safe, and the Shoanti should be happy with that--at least for now." Targrish grumbles. "This place draws villains and monsters like rats to a rubbish pile."

Targrish's amulet shimmers in the light and he strikes out at his target.

Intensify Vulnerability, Strike, Strike

kukri: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (13) + 25 = 38 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 5 + 4 = 15

Plus the weakness

AC 35, concealed from my target

Targrish lets the shadow attacker fade away and exploits the weakness of the harpy.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34

strike: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 5 + 4 = 16
strike: 1d20 + 25 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 25 - 4 = 28 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 + 4 = 16

Targrishc and the shadow chop away.

Sustain, Sustain, Strike
malicious shadow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 for slashing: 3d1 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 2 = 5
malicious shadow: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 5 = 14 for slashing: 3d1 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 2 = 5

kukri: 1d20 + 25 - 8 ⇒ (15) + 25 - 8 = 32 for slashing: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 + 4 = 14

You can reduce that by a further 15 from my amulet reaction.

Targrish shouts a challenge into the harpy song, then concentrates on his spell, watching the shadow lash out at the lead harpy.
Intimidation (Demoralize): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

malicious shadow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33 for slashing: 3d10 + 2 ⇒ (7, 5, 6) + 2 = 20

malicious shadow: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 5 = 20 for slashing: 3d10 + 2 ⇒ (8, 5, 6) + 2 = 21

Will (Gr. Resolve): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33

Targrish studies the lead harpy, then swirls his amulet in a occult symbol, pulling at the creature's shadow. The silhouette of the creature's own weapon slices at it.

Exploit Vulnerability, Cast malicious shadow

malicious shadow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 for slashing: 3d10 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6, 8) + 2 = 19

After Oro's minstrations, Targrish pokes around the ambush site for documents or clues.

Targrish settles lightly to the earth, then steps out fro mthe shroud of invisibility.

"Yes, not your average bandits. No wonder the clans wanted our help." The dwarf grimaces at his wounds. "Too bad we couldn't find out who set them up to this, but I'm in no condition to go harrying over the Cinderlands."

Oooh! Board ate my post.

Targrish's amulet is the only thing keeping him in the battle. He weaves a deceptive spell around himself and flies down toward the archers.

Cast invisibility sphere, fly

Reflex: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Also reduced by amulet. Takes 22 damage.

The conjured blades pierce Targrish, though protective magic protects him somewhat.

The dwarf hovers in the air and his amulet shimmers while he strikes out at the Gorumite.

kukri: 1d20 + 25 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 25 + 1 = 45 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 + 4 = 15

After Aicard's intervention and the talisman's protection, I take 12, I think.

Targrish's form shimmers with magic as he slices at the enlarged dwarf.

Intensify Vulnerability, Strike, Fly

kukri: 1d20 + 25 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 25 + 1 = 28 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 5 + 4 = 21

AC 35, Concealed from the dwarf

Oof! I'll use amulet on the first giant hit, so reduce the first one by 15 and the second by 5. 103 in a round is a pretty respectable number. Also, I never updated my profile to level 13! Fixed now.

If the giant is alive: Intensify Vulnerability, Fly, Strike
kukri: 1d20 + 25 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 25 + 1 = 36 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 + 4 = 14
AC 34 and concealed vs the giant

If the giant is dead: Exploit Vulnerability on dwarf, Fly, Strike

kukri: 1d20 + 25 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 25 + 1 = 35 for slashing: 2d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 + 4 = 15

Did the giant save against needle of vengance?

Targrish swoops in on the giant and slices away.

Fly, Strike, Strike
kukri: 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 22 + 2 = 41 for slashing: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 + 4 = 16
kukri: 1d20 + 22 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 22 + 2 - 4 = 40 for slashing: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 + 4 = 12

And whatever weakness. 7 if it is personal antithesis.
