Strange, I see the smoking crater being Nikolai because his defenses are cut from "respectably high" to "woefully deficient" whenever somebody pokes him in combat.
Fortunately, the Sun Witch is a goddess of fire, so I suspect it means she approves of how Nikolai spent his one round not begging too piteously.

I'm having problems with this.
I can't tell if Baird's inability to kill Nikolai at-will is a sign of weakness or a sign of maturity.
On one hand, Baird can kill PCs at-will and he used to be happy to set up double walls of fire from which to blash fireball after fireball upon hapless PCs...and that was a good thing. The old Baird would have Joseph rolling up a new character by now *if* Joseph even wanted to return to PFS.
However, that Baird is taunting and toying with Nikolai could be construed as an advancement of his pain instincts (something that I like to nourish and promote) and slowly killing Nikolai over a period of days (while taunting all the while) is a step closer to what I like to see in someone who wishes to join the Painful League of Pain.
Yeah...I got mixed feelings.
One thing is for sure, I wouldn't want to be Nikolai.

April Fools, yo!!!
Ah snap!
Well played.
Too bad that joke is just going to add to your suffering...from what I know of Baird: he's totally devoid of anything resembling a sense of humor or appreciation of anything fun. (Which is why I like him, of course.)
So...yeah...good luck with that.

It's ok, I've already negated the synapses that allow me to experience pain. How can I suffer when I can feel no pain?
/That must be unfathable to you Painlord.
Unfathomable? Oh no, Caubocalypse, very understandable.
I drink beer. I know how to kill pain. :)
What's unfathomable is why Baird doesn't just will Nikolai to implode on the spot. I suspect he's waiting for the next high holiday of whatever tart god Nikolai worships to strike (in an attempt to make it more dramatic).
I suspect, but don't know. Another mystery of the universe, I suppose.
