"no matter what you try, you won't succeed. Run and hide, eventually we'll find you, and btake that pretty little head of yours." Darya taunts the illusion.

Kelly Littlekettle |

Bolstered by her friends' assurances that it was an illusion, Kelly walks up behind the witch's image and starts poking her sword through it.
"Stab stab. Go away."

JohnnyBlack |

Areelu Vorlesh smiles.
"I had been toying with you. Amusing myself. But playtime is over."
With this, Areelu spreads wide her arms and a rift tears open in reality. Evil and madness pour forth, a miasma or wrongness and pest and death assaulting your senses.
A half-dozen babaus tumble through into the room, and beyond them the PCs catch glimpses of even greater demons preparing to enter - vrocks, glabrezus, even a marilith. The power of Abyss comes down on you.
But then, suddenly, the energy infusing your characters pulses back outward. The powerful energy hits the Abyssal rift and slams it shut - Areelu screams in pain as the magical feedback tears into her body, breaking bones and shredding her wings. An instant later, her projected image vanishes - her connection to the Material Plane has been severed.
But the six babaus that managed to clamber into the Material Plane before the rift closed remain.
Babau Demons, emaciated figures that look like a horned human skeleton smothered within a bone-tight hide of slimy leather.
Babau Demons. Immune to normal weapons, covered in acid that corrodes even the weapons that attack them. Demons capable of murdering half a dozen warriors before teleporting away to the darkness.
And your characters are facing six of them.
And then they start summoning from Abyss more of their kind.
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 84
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 94
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 3
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 38
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 1
Summon attempt (40%): 1d100 ⇒ 87
And now your characters are facing 9 of them.
Round 1
Your turn!

Alexa Dorne |

"Ah." Alexa cringes.
"That's more like it."
Well, all or nothing now!
She leaps at the nearest babau and stabs it!
Sneak Attack? *Cold Iron Gladius: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Well, that's a promising start.

Uriel Aurelius |

"By Ragathiel, today you fall!" Uriel shouts, pointing to the nearest babau, before running up and attacking it.
Smite Evil. +3 to-hit, +5 to damage (double on first hit), +3 deflection bonus vs. that particular babau. Smite bypasses all DR.
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Damage: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Crit?
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
That is one heck of a start.

Arloric Dziergas-Highbough |

Arloric begins singing anew, the joy in his voice belieing its grim words.
"But these words, our last to say...As we face our final day..."
Echo of Nature's Song! Everyone gets a +2 to Reflex Saves and AC!
He rushes up to one of the babau's, sword poised to strike!
Cold Iron Broken-Back Seax: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Kelly slips into her normal flank with Alexa, shortswords flashing.

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

"Bring it on!" Darya says with a wild grin, settling into a fighting stance as she begins to glow with a heavenly fire that soon spreads to her companions.

JohnnyBlack |

As soon as you start attacking your characters notice something is different. They are different. Their movements are more fluid, their aim is better, and they feel like a helping hand is guiding their actions.
For this combat only you gain the next boons:
* Damage reduction 10/good
* Regeneration 5 (unholy damage or evil spells)
* Resist acid 10 and fire 10
* Each PC's attacks are treated as good for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction and deals +2d6 points of damage against creatures with the evil subtype.
* Once per round as an immediate action, a PC can roll 1d12 and add the result to any d2o roll he just made.
Fell free to add the damage to your attacks (the demons are AC 19) or try to hit them with your extra 1d12.
Not bad, right?

Telerin Quenya |

This is what the spell does:
You take on an aspect of an angelic being, including some of its physical characteristics.
You gain low-light vision, resistance to acid 5, resistance to cold 5, and the benefits of protection from evil.

Uriel Aurelius |

2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Is this dice multiplied on a crit? If so:
2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

Arloric Dziergas-Highbough |

Seeing Uriel's effortless kill, Arloric's face almost literally lights up.
"Ponder deeply, ponder well...It matters not, Abyss or Hell!" he sings as he takes another swing!
Cold Iron Broken-Back Seax: 1d20 + 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (12) + (10) + 5 = 271d10 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (3, 2) + 3 = 9

Aberus Ocellio |

Feeling the strange and seemingly divine power coursing through him, Aberus steps up to one of the demons and attacks with a swing of his scimitar.

Pfft.

Alexa Dorne |

Sneak Attack Damage! *Mythic Smite!*: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (5, 2, 2) + (4, 6) = 27
Alexa blindly stabs at the babau before her, and at first, it seems to go wide.
Then it suddenly veers right into the beast's ribs.
No one looks more surprised by this than Alexa herself. She stares at the sword sticking out of the demon's chest, wide-eyed.
"...huh. How about that."
Reflex Save for Weapon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

The wizard will move up to Uriel and cast blur on him.
The subject’s outline appears blurred, shifting, and wavering. This distortion grants the subject concealment (20% miss chance).

JohnnyBlack |

The babau demons can't believe two of their number have fallen, and another two are injured so quickly. The seven remaining demons smile, as they known NOW is their turn.
The first of them opens its arms and let darkness pour forth from his shadow, trying to make all of your characters blind and defenseless.
And your characters know that at least for some seconds the demons will have the upper hand, while you somehow dispel the darkness.
But the darkness doesn't fall.
It floats over your characters, while the light of the power bestowed over you dispel it, destroys it, washes it away.
The babau demons stop smiling, growl, and lash out with abandon, deciding to go out fighting.
6 remaining, they will attack the "easiest" prey they can full attack.

Attack, scimitar: 1d20 + 5 + 1d12 ⇒ (10) + 5 + (2) = 17
COME ON

Alexa Dorne |

Alexa nimbly dodges the two spear strikes from the babau attacking her, only to be suddenly bitten on the shoulder. She roars in pain and recoils from the demon, then looks down at her shoulder as it knits itself together.
"...I hope you enjoyed doing that." She growls at the demon before throwing herself at it again!

Her gladius strikes twice in rapid succession--both times in between the demon's bony ribs.

Arloric Dziergas-Highbough |

Arloric stops the first spear strike with his shield, but is unprepared for the second, which catches him in the shoulder. The grunt of pain stops the song for a brief moment, but when he sees the strike didn't draw blood, he continues singing stronger than ever.
"When you face an open grave...Who among you shall be brave?"
He shows that he will by striking back!
