What is that creature's AC

Belsayv

The duel-sided caster's twisted face seems to almost grin in anticipation as he sets his hands into motion, his voice twisting the arcane words together to form a spell. Vai, Phaezeriel and Sadie's bodies begin to be wracked with pain. The twisted caster says another quick word with a gesture, and the ground falls out from underneath Yrrin's feet.

Spellcraft check DC20 to ID first spell as Mass Pain Strike.
SR check vs. Phaeze: 1d20+16
Fort save DC24 for those affected (Vai, Phaeze, Sadie), or take 1d6 nonlethal and be sickened for 10 rounds as you are wrakced with pain.
Spellcraft check DC17 to ID second spell as Create Pit.
Reflex save DC21 or fall into the pit Yrrin.

Meanwhile, the hammer-handed and the embedded-axe N'gathau are advancing, moving into flanking positions around the group, leaving Yrrin to combat the one he charged, aiming to fight the apparent casters of the enemy group (namely, Sadie and Phaezeriel). Both of them have advanced within charging distance of Sadie, Phaezeriel and Vai, and are preparing to go on the offensive.

A hail of arrows from the implated-bow N'gathau fly out to strike at the dragon shape of Vai.

** spoiler omitted **

Vai's roar is truncated into a horrible half-whelp/half-scream as she's pierced by many arrows, sinking in between her scales. Her blood flows freely, but she's still standing, if barely.

Vai is at 5 HP. Take actions!

If Yrrin managed to stay out of the pit, he'll notice the one N'gathau he is facing is taking a defensive...

1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24

Yrrin's blood gushes onto the ground as he sends a line of healing energy through both Belyu and Vai (Letting Phaze give it where it's needed)

8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1, 6, 5) = 29
8d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 4, 5, 3, 1, 5) = 30

and 1d6 ⇒ 2 holy damage to all Ngathu near me.

"for setting foot on this plane, and for your deeds against the inhabitants of this world, I shall bring justice unto you! Your only choices are to return to your plane, Never Returning to this one, or be banished by the Champion of justice."

Yrrin is fairly glowing from this speech

With haste 50ft

Belsayv

The tunnel begins to get a little hotter as the group goes deeper - perhaps just the planet's warmth seeping up through the ground... though they haven't gone /that/ far.

At some point, the group will realize that Anahita is no longer with them - though Phaezeriel will sense that her presence is still strong within the Collective.

The ominous silence that descended upon the ground as the descended deeper towards the sickly green glow is cut short by a sudden - and distinctly humanoid - scream, from somewhere deeper in the cave. A young woman's voice, echoing up the cave walls.
Vai's blade flashes into her hand again. "Come on!" she says loudly, the echo of the dragon girl's voice mingling with the continued sound of screaming. Her wings are carrying her quickly down the tunnel, and will leave the others behind if they don't hurry... (or if someone doesn't stop her). The screaming stops and starts intermittently...

"Vai! Wait!" The heavily armored man shouts after her, "This is exactly what they want!"

He tries to sprint after her but his armor holds him back

Belyu Shardae wrote:

She smiles weakly, nodding.

"I'm fine, honest. Just wasn't expecting that is all."

"Okay. Why here? What is special about this place?" Vai asks, apparently easing herself more out of her self-focused state, somehow this incident has caused her to focus on outside, rather than stewing in her own thoughts.

"The pained spirits of those who died are attempting to make the living feel their pain..." Yrrin responds calmly, taking point, and moving into the cave

Yrrin, seeing the manifestation of the Haunt acts with haste... He calls down fiery holy energy onto the haunt, blood seeping out of his armor to empower the spell

22d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 4, 1, 6, 3, 2, 2, 6, 1, 2, 6, 4, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3) + (3, 3) = 82Half fire 57, half holy damage 57 (2d6 is healing 10)

K.Religion1d20 + 8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 7 + 3 = 38

Yrrin sends a warning through the mental link

::Be cautious, something isn't right::

Vickory slides up in front, "Allow me, I'm immune to coldness."

Assuming no one stops her she will stealthily move ahead.

Be careful!" Yrrin whispers... "I do not want to lose any alljes

::I'm rather sure stabbing them will still work.::

adon speaks through the collective, chuckling slightly afterwords.

::with my holy aura, your attacks can penitrate their demonic defenses...::

It was a N'gathu, a demon of pain and torture." Yrrin says softly,letting her understand its implications

Yrrin bows his head to Belyu, somewhat intimidated by her unforeseen prowess in battle

then he proceeds to drench the bushes with 32 gallons of water

cast Create Water

Belsayv

The grotesque creatures hisses at the combatants closing in on him and moves in to extend a greusomely twisted hand towards Vickory. The hand is covered in metal spikes driven into his flesh.

Melee Touch attack on Vickory, if successful please make a DC25 Fort save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds as your body is wracked by immense pain. This is a mind-effecting pain effect. Touch attack: 1d20+20

Yrrin shrugs his shoulder and slides his shield onto his arm, channeling positive energy into it.

5pts bleed damage, down five points from Max.

Belsayv

Vickory's spell punctures the defenses of the creature and rips away his magics, tearing the invisibility off of their attacker to reveal...

A grostesque and twisted humanoid creature. The 'bow' it is wielding is actually fused into it's flesh, with an extra tentacle-ish appendage to draw the string. The creature has no hair, and as a distinct head and face, but the flesh is warped and twisted. All throughout his body there are metal spikes pierced into it, the stomach is distended and swollen. It is truly a horrifying sight, but those present are above it.

Several of the groups' blow strike home, and the creature screeches slightly in pain, but another arrow slots into place from inside the creature - apparently it has a self-loading mechanism, and it prepares another attack...

1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 16 + 5 = 32

Yrrin smiles as his ally proves his trust wasn't misplaced.

Damage tally: 133 points bleed 5. Gained 210: 77 points overheal.

AC: 36

Yrrin's bleeding hasn't increased because of his pious blessing

::Phaezeriel please redirect health to me...:: his mental voice is exhausted...

And his armored body moves foreward as he fires a single arrow

1d20 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 9 = 37
1d8 + 11 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 16 + (5) = 33

I do not believe you can smite a target you cannot see...

But meh, rules light. Just remember to track uses Yrrin. ;)

Oh... well ill try not to do it again...

Belyu wastes no time in pulling out a wand and activating it, sending two pale gray beams into the bush

Yrrin responds with a volley of arrows

Pretty sure its evil, even if it isn't my thoughts are it is.... Smite!

Belsayv - Vanguard Group

Yrrin's senses do not pick anything up at the moment...

However, both Belyu and Vickory can hear a very slight rustling in the undergrowth some twenty feet ahead on the track. They see nothing there, but there could be an invisible creature, or it could simply be a small woodland creature. It could also be the first sign of their attackers...

Suddenly, an arrow flys out of the brush Belyu and Vickory noticed, flying directly for Yrrin, putting to rest all theories of non-aggression! The attacker continues to remain invisible though!

Attack vs Flatfooted AC: 1d20+29-3
Damage: 1d8+11+6+8d6+2d6
Electricity Damage: 1d6
Bleed Damage: 8

Belyu, PM inbound.

Yrrin's surprise is not feigned in the slightest

The arrows punch through weak spots in his armor...
Blood dripping onto the forest floor.

Then his helm unfolds from his armor and clamps down onto his head, obscuring his face. His armor glows blue white and he grows in size and strength...

All near him are shrouded in a shining aura of positive energy...

all free actions

His bow is loaded and ready as he searches for the attacker

While moving along with her group, staying stealthy, Anahita adds, ::I do recommend we gain information before leaping blindly into a possible trap. This is not our home ground, we lack the advantage and are acting impatiently. It is unwise given our lack of experience as a team.::

::Do you have a specific recommendation on how to gather information?:: Vai asks back through the Collective, maybe sounding a little bit stressed, snapping slightly. ::Yrrin, how do you know you can trust that person? This serpent could be working with the kidnappers.::

Vickory looks over the area, unaware of telepathic communication.

"Others will be following? That is good. Dont let them shoot me please. It hurts and then I have fight back and it just leads to me being in the woods with no one but chipmunks for friends. And I dont even speak chipmunk."

And keeps walking quickly but determinedly toward the site

And with that he heads off after a bow...

"You may find my form unusual." After a moment, from the bushes comes a small slender creature with a feminine elven torso but a snake like body. She has fine metallic silver/white scales and black shoulder length hair. Her eyes are a vibrant teal. Her torso is about the size of a halfling's and she is 9' long from head to tip of tail. She wears a fine black cloak with a strange coat of arms and silver webbing embroidery, a ring, a circlet, and a small bag. She also carries a long doublebladed sword. It does not seem hostile but isnt trusting either.

"I am a stranger to this land and you are the first I've seen. I am Vickory West of the dragon clan, fourth of the clans of Sorenson's children. Where is this place?" she sounds wary but very proud of her heritage.

"Your form is slightly unusual but not unprecedented... similar to a Yuan ti or a maralith...

Dragon won't be happy...

Hey folks .. sorry I have been afk all weekend.

My dad has been in a nursing home for several years, and is now declining very fast. I spent the weekend standing vigil for him.

I am trying to get caught up, and if it is not too much trouble can we put any scenes with which my characters are involved on a brief hold while I catch up with 200-ish posts?

Edit: that was odd...

The scene your in with us, has not advanced very far past scouting the villiage

Yrrin's gentle and strong thoughts are the opposite of the memories of pain and fear and helplessness...

::where is this place?::

Speaking aloud now for Belyu's benefit, at least until they needed quiet, Vai speaks on the location in her mind. Her voice wavers and quivers, but she refuses to let that stop her. "Back.... Aegythrax would demand tribute from us... he would take... a girl. He would demand new ones be brought and tied to... to a rock, up on the s-slope of that hill over there." she points at the hill in the direction that the container had been dragged away.

Yrrin gently nods and starts striding to the rock.... scanning for evil...

Normal detect evil paladin ability...

Yrrin's gentle and strong thoughts are the opposite of the memories of pain and fear and helplessness...

::where is this place?::

Yrrin reports through the link...

"A huge source of evil left the villiage this way..."

Quote fireclaw: " Yrrin

As Yrrin sweeps the area with his special sight, he /does/ in fact register a lingering dim aura of evil centered near to the middle of the town. The aura itself appears to be residue either from the destruction of a powerful evil creature, or a similarily powerful Evil aligned spell being cast in the area. The lingering aura seems to centered in the area where the signs of combat/struggle are most apparent. Also moving away from this central area appears to be something massive being dragged into the wilds."

Sadie seemed to finally snap out of her funk a little as she looked around at the destruction and frowned.

::You are speaking in common, but the words make no sense. What the blazes is a warcaller? And why would we need a diplomat on a rescue mission?::

::This might be a slaver raid. If it is, that's good. That means they can still be rescued and their captors have an interest in keeping them alive. Do you recognize the footprints?::

Sadie is a tactical genius, but she's primarily worked with different types of conflicts. The concept of the 'standard adventuring party' is utterly foreign to her, so Ana's questions make no sense.

Edit: Yrrin, Sadie registers as lawful good.

You just get no results from them for the detect. You know the ability isn't working on them and you can see their Champion auras so it's not too hard to figure out why you get nothing from them. This will be true of Vai as well as Anahita since they're both Champions.

I forgot about the champion aura.... kk

To yarrin, he seems to be true neutral.

Detect magic takes 3 rounds of focus to note type of aura, 2 to note strength.

In one round you notice the absence or presence of magical aura

Curiously, what's the specific spell or ability that Yyrin's ring casts? So I can properly reply to the casting.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure everything sentient, has an alignment, by the way, it's part of the game system unless obscured some how.

Perception sorry

The group arrives without much more fanfare other than the sound of the Starcasters cycling down with a small whirring noise. The group is standing in a small cluster in the late afternoon sun of another world - where it is sunny, warm, and clear with barely a cloud is the blue sky.

The weather is beautiful, but the scene in front of them is not. It is the former shell of a town. Technology level is somewhere pre-industrial, with most of the buildings built of wood or stone. The town is in ruins. Some buildings, as well as some patches of the ground, are still smoldering. Oddly though... there are /no/ bodies. Signs of a struggle and combat are everywhere, with non-humanoid tracks which run around the former village.

There is no sign of any of the residents, though thin colums of smoke still rise here and there. It is deadly silent.

Vai seems to be slightly stunned. This is, after all, where she grew up.

Anyone who has come along, let me know what your actions are! Apply skill checks as necessary (Survival, for example, to follow the tracks)

Yrrin's sword is unsheathed in a blink... firstly he checks the immediate area for any hostilities...

Then his ring hums slightly as he scans the area for lingering magical auras.

Detect magic & all alignment

Yrrin is also immediately following
