Drufle (GM)	huh well anyway, welcome to you two and this weird ghost of streak today is session... 24? yes 24 I currently have sheets open for 3 PCs, this'll be delightful.
Drufle (GM)	So, time to make a decision. Does the party retreat to rest a night?
Navaya	yes
Red	i actually have a trait that gives me minuses to attacks and skills when someone falls unconscious
Drufle (GM)	thats only while theyre unconscious though, right?
Red	lmao yeah
Drufle (GM)	So you're better now.
Red	"Oh you scared me... I thought we won't have another person to take the brunt of enemy attacks!" "B-baka!" G'hesh Nhot is wobbling from magical blood loss.
Navaya	are these your lesser dogs
Red	good puppers they're GREAT dogs thank you very much
Drufle (GM)	They're some nice hound archons that got completely missed by the terrifying Deskari illusions. I imagine they're rather confused.
Navaya	so are we leaving or not
Red	"So, the ritual has been thwarted. I think it would be wise for us to retreat and recuperate for now." "We probably know what's lurking behind the doors beyond."
Navaya	"god yeah. maybe I can sleep off this cold too." Navaya sneezes again
Red	"How do you even get colds..."
Navaya	"diseases have nothing to do with temperature!"
Aerlin	"I could regain some spells as well..."
Red	is this streak or drufle
Drufle (GM)	The world may never know. It's me.
Red	"I hope it's not like swine flu where there's a carrier species and there's a species that straight up dies from it."
Drufle (GM)	Alright, let's have a quick kip outside and then sprint through the seventy million rooms you have to go through to get down here. I say that because nothing changes during the night you guys spend resting.
Navaya	why is there a dotted line around my charisma mod box
Drufle (GM)	You've taken charisma damage. From the whispers, remember?
Navaya	right
Red	youre ugly now
Drufle (GM)	Speaking of which, you heal 1 point of that damage back.
Red	the ugliest fairy in the land, tragic
Navaya	boo hoo
Drufle (GM)	:P So then. Shall we move onwards?
Red	i cast tongues and the other buff spell heroism?
Drufle (GM)	Righto.
Navaya	i'm pickin spells
Drufle (GM)	Take your time. Streak already told me how to change his spells. I.e. that they should stay the same except I should prepare Dismissal. So we'll see how that goes.
Red	so this is why spontaneous casters are more noob friendly
Drufle (GM)	This does mean that I have another use of the discombobulator... Oh yeah. Sorcerer is easily the best caster for new players. High power, low maintenance. So fun fact. This area actually has like
Drufle (GM)	a lot of secret doors?
Navaya	ok ready Red: default Red : Perception Check 41
Drufle (GM)	Most of them have crazy high perception DCs, but they're... huh.
Red	SHOW ME THE DOORS
Navaya	...
Drufle (GM)	Someone has a strange idea of comedic timing. A good 20 feet up, there's a secret passage. There's also one in the west wall, leading into G8.
Red	"Oh look, an... escape route?" "What's this for."
Navaya	"beats walking around the whole other way"
Drufle (GM)	You're standing directly in front of the shrine to Deskari, by the way, Red.
Red	"But this! This looks more interesting. Maybe they've stashed a few things here?"
Drufle (GM)	It's spooky.
Red	"I can feel the chittering."
Navaya	"can we break this? please?"
Red	"Be my guest."
Navaya	"roch, Ghesh, be our guests" Drufle (GM): Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 9 Rochelle Gwerm punches the statue and her skin cracks. Red: default Red : Grappling Scarf
Spell Level: Inquisitor, 1
School: Transmutation
Components: V, S, F (a scarf)
Range: Personal
Duration: 1 minute/level Rolls Caster Level Check =25 Concentration Check =21
Cast Defensively DC	17 A scarf you are wearing frays at the end into hook-like shapes and can extend to incredible lengths. Although your scarf retains its weight, its frayed ends function as a grappling hook that can be thrown with a range increment of 20 feet. Your scarf elongates to 100 feet the first time it is thrown during the spell duration. Regardless of its apparent material, the scarf is as strong and easy to climb as a knotted silk rope. At the end of the duration, the scarf detaches and returns to its former shape, fluttering down from its position if you haven’t already retrieved it. Spells Notes:+1 DC to conjuration spells
Drufle (GM)	Oh, uh, wow. That is. Remarkably situational.
Navaya	pull down the statue
Red	i gots a scarf, i gots to use it
Drufle (GM)	I assumed you were grappling up into the passage. But that would also work.
Red	no im climbing up the secret door thing yeah
Drufle (GM)	Ah, ok.
Navaya	ok so what happened to roch did she just fail to do anything
Drufle (GM)	She was bad at breaking statues.
Navaya	ok
Red	"While you're toppling that unsightly image, let us. Go here..."
Navaya	I cast ice spears on the statue
Red	do i have to roll we need the spells for the enemies!!!
Drufle (GM)	No, if you have a spell specifically for grappling hooks, I'm just gonna let you go up there.
Navaya	i have arcane thingy I can afford to waste one
Red	we can use something else surely
Navaya	is the shrine flammable I assume it's made of bug parts
Drufle (GM)	It's stone, so I'd say no.
Navaya	bah Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 25 That's slightly better. G'hesh Nhot swings a random longsword into the stone, and a bunch of hunks fall off of it.
Navaya	"good enough, let's go" i take the hunks with me
Drufle (GM)	Sounds like a plan.
Navaya	i appreciate their oiled muscles
Red	"Are you going to use those for iced creams." "Come with me, Navi! It's quite cramped in here."
Navaya	alrighty Navaya leaves the hunks behind to die
Drufle (GM)	Right, so this is kind of a weird-looking room.
Red	did we just climb an air shaft
Navaya	"oh this looks way more important
Drufle (GM)	There's a lower 5-foot wide pathway running around a circular pit. Red: default Red : Perception Check 38
Drufle (GM)	Small stairs lead up two platforms to a slightly higher ledge, the one you're standing on. Or will be standing on when you leave that passage. To the southeast is a massive statue of a six-armed woman with a serpentine body. Red: default Red : Religion Check 19 +4 Kn. religion, +2 Kn. of demigods +7 (Monster Lore)
Drufle (GM)	She wields a variety of exotic weapons, and leans menacingly over the abyss.
Red	i check to now what that is
Drufle (GM)	It's quite obviously a marilith. And Red actually notices something weird with that very good perception roll.
Red	"This right here. Is an icon of a really vain demoness."
Drufle (GM)	The bottom of the 10-foot-deep pit is kinda... shimmering? Every so often, the bottom wavers just a little bit.
Red	"Anyone want to come back to this place later? This feels ominous."
Aerlin	"Surely this is the way forward; why else would there be a statue of that general lady?"
Navaya	"certainly feels like a boss arena"
Red	"Try tossing something in. Maybe it's a wishing well?" Navaya: Navaya : Flaming Heavy Crossbow Attack 21 vs AC Damage 8 fire 1d6 Type: P
Red	"Just kidding, it might literally be a demonic wishing well. Don't wish anything on that."
Navaya	i toss a bolt in the pit with my bow
Red	surprise its gasoline
Drufle (GM)	The bolt vanishes into thin air when it reaches the bottom of the pit.
Red	metal gear noise
Drufle (GM)	You hear a "FWOOSH" of flame from somewhere.
Red	I scoot back to the rear of the conga line
Navaya	"ok so either a portal or somesort of-oh"
Red	"Pssst. Aerlin, do you know what that pit is?"
Navaya	spellcraft check?
Drufle (GM)	Give it a shot. Navaya:
Navaya	Spellcraft Check30
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+21( 2 )+21 = 23 Aerlin does not know.
Red	gosh your mods are crazy
Drufle (GM)	Judging by Navaya's best guesses, whatever's going on with the pit is illusion magic.
Navaya	"huh. maybe there's a hidden room down there"
Red	"Or there's a pitfall."
Navaya	"a hidden room full of spikes"
Red	"In any case, I think we're supposed to go near it to pass through." "And that should be exactly what the homeowners want."
Drufle (GM)	In case you guys can't see it, there's a door to the east. And one to the south.
Navaya	"Aerlin, can you use an arcane eye to see inside the mirage?"
Drufle (GM)	Oh dang, good idea. Or it would be if she had arcane eye prepared.
Navaya	of course
Red	metar gear noise
Drufle (GM)	I suppose she could wild arcana it, if you want it that badly.
Red	yeah that
Navaya	I'm not letting anyone get shoved in that thing without knowing what's in it first
Red	watch it be a whole lot of nothing
Navaya	I would be relieved
Red	you have solved my hole puzzle
Drufle (GM)	Alright, one MP down. Into the pit it goes. Just like the bolt, it goes right through the "bottom" of the floor. And it conveys back to Aerlin the fact that the bottom of the pit is now a giant flaming pile of greenish slime.
Navaya	"...okay then"
Red	Hoo boy
Drufle (GM)	In addition, the true bottom is about 30 feet lower than the illusory bottom.
Red	"I think you set it on fire, Navi."
Drufle (GM)	The statue of Aponavicius is on a very, very tall column.
Red	Can we disbelieve the illusion now is that a will save?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah. Red: default Red : Willpower
Save: 26 Navaya:
Navaya	Willpower
Save:20
Drufle (GM)	The wall shimmers away for Red, but not Navaya. It's pretty dang strong.
Red	"That's slime alright."
Navaya	"didn't clap my hands hard enough"
Drufle (GM)	It is indeed a very deep pit with a pool of flaming slime at the bottom.
Red	wait lemme check if i added my monster lore
Navaya	but is it slime or an ooze? subtle difference
Drufle (GM)	It doesn't appear to be moving.
Navaya	hmmm possibly just a pit of acid? would explain the reaction...
Red	this requires another check
Navaya	"Red, detect evil on that statue. I don't want it coming alive and dragging us in there" "and yes, I AM a paranoid wreck now"
Drufle (GM)	Now why would that be? This place is so friendly. Red: default Red : Spellcraft Check 18 +4 Kn. religion, +2 Kn. of demigods +7 (Monster Lore) is it. a monster
Drufle (GM)	The statue?
Red	and yeah i detect evil the statue the sludge the muck
Drufle (GM)	The ooze is not a monster. And the statue is not evil. No more than the rest of this entire dungeon is, at least.
Navaya	if it were we would probably have rolled initiative
Red	its totally safe you guys
Navaya	"okay then let's... sidle around to the south"
Horanoven A.	hello mortals it is I
Red	"Well we better have a plan of action going, I don't want us falling like chumps to chymical fumes."
Horanoven A.	the one who is me
Navaya	wah!
Red	heya
Horanoven A.	how's it going?
Drufle (GM)	Angry pit.
Horanoven A.	so the usual then?
Red	oh is that what it is
Drufle (GM)	No. But it is a pit that seems pretty mean.
Red	oh right the spell is hungry pit wrong pit
Horanoven A.	hangry pit
Drufle (GM)	Too big for the spell anyway, I think. So, uh. Is anyone going to move?
Horanoven A.	fill me in on the important deets or I'll just go for it
Navaya	boy this is a lot more sedate without sam
Red	"Can the whole party fly or levitate?"
Drufle (GM)	It's almost rational.
Red	secret door leads here an area with high ground
Drufle (GM)	Uh, Aerlin and Navaya can, I think that's it.
Rochelle Gwerm	"I fly about as well as a rock thrown into the air"
Red	instead of the lower door
Navaya	ok Hora the pit is covered in an illusion
Rochelle Gwerm	"Does that help?"
Red	which directly faces an acid pit
Rochelle Gwerm	can I punch the illusion?
Drufle (GM)	Sure, give it a try.
Navaya	we did that already
Drufle (GM)	It'll go very well for you.
Navaya	don't listen to the GM
Rochelle Gwerm	ah, alright I have acid resist while raging I think
Drufle (GM)	The party's just kinda been sitting here frozen for a while.
Rochelle Gwerm	so can I walk south?
Drufle (GM)	Hey now, buddy.
Red	"What if we climb down here?"
Drufle (GM)	How did you get over there?
Red	oh
Navaya	he leapt gracefully
Rochelle Gwerm	around the rim?
Red	is this not a path
Drufle (GM)	You walked along the top ledge?
Red	i thought this gray part was level
Drufle (GM)	It is.
Red	and wide
Rochelle Gwerm	question: did we go back to rest?
Drufle (GM)	We did.
Navaya	yes
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you can walk along the top.
Red	buuut?
Navaya	part of the wall slid out and pushed him into the pit didn't it
Drufle (GM)	But I need to know your CMD.
Navaya	I knew it
Red	22
Drufle (GM)	22, alright. rolling d20+14 ( 16 )+14 = 30
Rochelle Gwerm	oh dear
Drufle (GM)	Into the pit he goes!
Rochelle Gwerm	welp, bye red
Drufle (GM)	He gets to about...
Rochelle Gwerm	we will miss you
Drufle (GM)	That spot there. And suddenly a telekinetic force launches him into the pit.
Red	"Anywa-"
Navaya	"fucking hell red!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Its always a trap!"
Drufle (GM)	714
Rochelle Gwerm	"We can't go anywhere"
Drufle (GM)	You take 7 falling damage, 1 fire damage, and 4 con damage!
Red	"I should foreseen thiiiii"
Rochelle Gwerm	that is a lot of con damage
Red	"I should have foreseen thiiiii" let me punch those in
Drufle (GM)	Boy, he sure is now stuck in a 40-foot deep blazing pit of acid.
Rochelle Gwerm	its fire damage, not acid?
Navaya	"WHY DID I SHOOT IT FIRST"
Drufle (GM)	Physical damage, fire damage, con damage. Respectively.
Red	"Grappling hook GRAPPLING HOOK"
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, you still have that.
Rochelle Gwerm	no acid damage?
Drufle (GM)	No acid damage.
Navaya	it's apparently not acid
Rochelle Gwerm	that's not great
Drufle (GM)	It's not!
Rochelle Gwerm	for me
Navaya	constitution-draining gunk
Drufle (GM)	How long is your grappling hook? I imagine it's longer than 40 feet.
Rochelle Gwerm	4 constitution damage though, that's awful is this the opposite of holy water or something?
Drufle (GM)	Also I assume you use something to scrape the stuff off, because it is also very sticky. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft Check 12 ...
Drufle (GM)	Luckily it tends to only stick to the parts of your flesh that are being melted away.
Rochelle Gwerm	no idea what this is then unless religion would help?
Drufle (GM)	I'm going to assume Red is lagging to hell, and I'll get him out of the pit.
Red	do i apply con damage before the damage
Navaya	"why do I have nothing useful for this situation?!"
Red	or after
Drufle (GM)	Uh... After, I guess.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Does anyone have...uhh...detect magic?"
Red	"H-help!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Quiet we're tryin to figure out what happened"
Navaya	Serlin save him you're the utility girl *aerlin Aerlin casts Mage Hand and wipes the goo off Red.
Rochelle Gwerm	Serloin
Aerlin	"Whatever it is, it's natural, not magic."
Navaya	"THAT is natural?"
Red	"Except for the invisible force pushes huh."
Drufle (GM)	Detect Magic gives no readings on the slime.
Rochelle Gwerm	black pudding?
Red	I sit down for a bit, still a bit dazed.
Drufle (GM)	Black pudding is an ooze. This stuff is not mobile.
Red	"Flipping hell."
Rochelle Gwerm	someone animate this as a companion sick it on the demons
Drufle (GM)	Where on earth is Rochelle?
Navaya	what does lesser restoration do again?
Rochelle Gwerm	ooooooo she's a ghost she is precisely where she needs to be (under the eye)(
Drufle (GM)	Lesser Restoration cures 1d4 ability damage to a single score.
Navaya	oh good Red is breathing heavily.
Navaya	I use a potion of it on Red "God I'm SO sorry for that"
Rochelle Gwerm	"What even was that stuff?"
Navaya	(do I roll or does he) "not even we could figure it out!"
Red	"I wonder if we should hire a trap springer?" Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 9
Drufle (GM)	Let him roll.
Red	"I do NOT want that happening again." default Red : Perception Check 31
Rochelle Gwerm	"Why'd you even go over there?"
Drufle (GM)	To be fair, the last time you tried to spring a trap, it explicitly avoided your trap springers.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Is there something up there?"
Navaya	Red roll 1d4 for con healing
Drufle (GM)	There's precisely nothing up there.
Red	"I was trying to find a way to the door."
Rochelle Gwerm	"That door?" "The one on this level?"
Red	rolling 1d4( 3 ) = 3
Drufle (GM)	I don't blame him, would you want to be close to that pit?
Rochelle Gwerm	as a player no I'm not sure Rochelle understands the danger
Drufle (GM)	True. So! Avoid that particular spot on the upper ledge. It's bad.
Navaya	"there's probably a similar trap on the south side."
Rochelle Gwerm	now lets watch Red trigger another trap
Navaya	"I'll go for it"
Drufle (GM)	I mean, Aerlin and Navaya can easily just fly over the pit.
Navaya	exactly so hover here anything happen? no
Drufle (GM)	You're fine.
Navaya	oh ok
Red	"Pressure plates???"
Drufle (GM)	Actually, we raise an interesting point. Daha can't fly, right?
Rochelle Gwerm	Daha is a fairy animal now, right?
Navaya	this is why I left him over there
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, he does have a 30 foot fly speed. Because of the fey template.
Navaya	oh so he does even I forgot!"
Rochelle Gwerm	fly on those tiny weasel wings Daha aṭē hovers over implacably
Red	brb
Drufle (GM)	Hopefully people understand that I'm not gonna move G'hesh around too much. Ain't far to trip traps with people that ain't mine.
Navaya	yeah
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yo, which door we goin through first?"
Navaya	"ehh, Aerlin walked over there fine. follow her"
Drufle (GM)	She flew. Across the pit.
Navaya	Roch stop
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck it, I'm heavy as shit if anyone is going to trigger another of these, it might as well be someone who can actually resist it
Drufle (GM)	Gonna make it pretty hard to pull you out of the pit if you fall.
Rochelle Gwerm	hmmm Rochelle don't know or care ONWARD
Drufle (GM)	Right, so, CMD.
Rochelle Gwerm	32
Drufle (GM)	Good grief, really?
Rochelle Gwerm	dead serious full BAB boys
Drufle (GM)	He ain't kidding. 10+bab+str+dex Huh. Fair enough. rolling d20+14 ( 1 )+14 = 15
Rochelle Gwerm	pfffft
Drufle (GM)	You're good. Rochelle Gwerm doesn't even register the force push
Drufle (GM)	The telekinesis spell gives you a nice pat on the back.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Easy"
Navaya	"ROCHELLE! CAN YOU WORK OUT WHERE THE SPELL'S COMING FROM?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"What?" "Uhhh" Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 7
Drufle (GM)	Guys it's, like, 40 feet between you. Not that far.
Navaya	augh fine
Rochelle Gwerm	"I don't really see anything"
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle has no clue where that push came from.
Rochelle Gwerm	you can fly, just trigger it yourself
Drufle (GM)	Somehow.
Red	back
Rochelle Gwerm	you got a nat 1
Navaya	perception or spellcraft?
Rochelle Gwerm	that did nothing
Drufle (GM)	Perception, usually.
Navaya	lag
Rochelle Gwerm	I swear this game gets laggier and laggier the longer we play
Drufle (GM)	Doesn't make any sense, it shouldn't be any different. So now we just have to somehow get Red and G'hesh over there.
Horanoven A.	can I break it?
Drufle (GM)	Break what, the trap?
Rochelle Gwerm	sorry, can the trap be broken?
Red	i got nothin
Rochelle Gwerm	via physical force
Drufle (GM)	It can be disabled, not broken.
Red	except like a summon duh
Drufle (GM)	How about G'hesh shows you the way.
Rochelle Gwerm	don't kill Ghesh please Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Athletics Check 12
Rochelle Gwerm	okay how the hell is Red supposed to do that?
Red	i summon a pteranodon
Rochelle Gwerm	oh
Drufle (GM)	Can he make a DC 10 athletics check? I would hope so. I mean. Sure.
Red	ride it over
Rochelle Gwerm	does Red have ranks in acrobatics?
Red	"Look at this primeval beauty, plucked straight from Elysium. Don't embarrass me okay?"
Drufle (GM)	Let's have Red make an Acrobatics check, then. Since that's what Ride is these days.
Rochelle Gwerm	to get on the dino? oh
Red	can i take 20
Drufle (GM)	I imagine it's not exactly trivial to ride an animal that has no barding or saddle. You can certainly take 10.
Rochelle Gwerm	a 20 implies that you attempt the action as many times as it takes to succeed
Drufle (GM)	Taking 20 implies that failures have no consequences.
Rochelle Gwerm	which involves failing
Red	oh yes right default Red : Acrobatics Check 23
Drufle (GM)	Well. That solved that problem.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Alright, lets get ready"
Red	when i said take 20 i meant it
Drufle (GM)	Oh. You can't take 20!
Red	took the 20 right out of the universe hella
Drufle (GM)	Unless that was an actual roll. In which case amazing.
Red	yeah its a roll
Drufle (GM)	Alright, here's a door!
Rochelle Gwerm	Rage on
Red	free pteranodon Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 10 I give up someone else do it Red: default Red : Strength
Check: 6
Drufle (GM)	Or, we can just open the unlocked door.
Rochelle Gwerm	If you want to take the easy way then sure
Drufle (GM)	:P Door opening!
Rochelle Gwerm	OH FUCK THATS HIM
Red	oh!
Rochelle Gwerm	get me in front noooow
Red	her? idont actually remember
Rochelle Gwerm	SHADOW DEMON
Drufle (GM)	I know I just lifted the veil, but this entire room is actually hella dark.
Rochelle Gwerm	doesn't mater at the moment I have low light vision its fine
Drufle (GM)	You can see nothing.
Red	i hav e an ioun torch
Rochelle Gwerm	shit
Drufle (GM)	If you don't have darkvision, you can't see anything.
Rochelle Gwerm	anyone got a light?
Drufle (GM)	In fact, even if you had darkvision, you still can't see much.
Rochelle Gwerm	anyone got a really good light? magical, perhaps?
Drufle (GM)	This entire room is under the effect of a Deeper Darkness spell.
Red	have they seen us
Drufle (GM)	He can see clearly even in magical darkness. So oh yeah. He has. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 19 do I hear anything? and what is the ground made of?
Drufle (GM)	The ground is a kind of ceramic tile.
Rochelle Gwerm	damn it
Red	do we make initiative checks now
Drufle (GM)	And you hear a chuckling. We do!
Rochelle Gwerm	"ENEMY!!"
Red	whats the opposite of deeper darkness!! aaa default Red : Initiative
Check: 31.15 +7 (Wis) +2 (Tier)
Rochelle Gwerm	if you have a daylight-like spell now is the time to use it
Drufle (GM)	Any light-based spell of 3rd level or higher.
Rochelle Gwerm	like that Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 7.04 Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Initiative
Check: 7.01
Navaya	aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Drufle (GM): Aerlin : Initiative
Check: 24.07
Rochelle Gwerm	if you don't have a light spell we have no way of winning this, btw because there is no way in hell we can win with a 50% miss chance on everything
Drufle (GM)	Especially considering he also takes half damage from everything. Navaya, when you're unlagged, initiative! rolling d20+10 ( 7 )+10 = 17
Rochelle Gwerm	and now the turn order is broken again
Drufle (GM)	I can still see it, don't worry.
Rochelle Gwerm	I am absolutely certain that fiddling with it is what causes that
Drufle (GM)	It is bizarre that you guys can't see it right, though. Navaya:
Navaya	Initiative
Check: 18.08
Rochelle Gwerm	without a doubt its because you deleted and added a bunch of things
Drufle (GM)	Alright, the order is Red/Aerlin/Navaya/Euystoriax/G'hesh/Rochelle. Red, godspeed.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm going to try something
Red	"Do fire elementals glow?" Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Initiative
Check: 5.01 okay what did that do? it...didn't fix it on my end Red: default Red : Religion Check 23 +4 Kn. religion, +2 Kn. of demigods +7 (Monster Lore)
Rochelle Gwerm	I was hoping for a refresh
Drufle (GM)	It added another one of you. Fire elementals glow, but not nearly brightly enough to deal with this.
Rochelle Gwerm	sigh alright, I'll try to keep track
Drufle (GM)	(daylight is a wizard spell, aerlin can just wild arcana it on her turn if you want)
Rochelle Gwerm	3rd level light spell or bust, Red or summon something that can see in m- wait spellcraft or knowledge arcana this area first please we don't actually know this is unnatural darkness
Red	score!
Rochelle Gwerm	what is it? Red: default Red : Spellcraft Check 32 +4 Kn. religion, +2 Kn. of demigods +7 (Monster Lore) ok identify this magic first i guess i do then i summon
Drufle (GM)	It's Deeper Darkness, the spell, I kinda already said that. :P
Rochelle Gwerm	you told the players, drufle ya doof
Drufle (GM)	Fair.
Red	well im just making the sure the character knows
Rochelle Gwerm	:P
Red	yeah "What gives light as well as a lantern?"
Navaya	"you'll need better than a lantern for this I think!"
Red	"It's exactly what we need."
Drufle (GM)	So, uh, d4+3 lantern archons?
Rochelle Gwerm	"WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?"
Red	rolling 1d4+3( 4 )+3 = 7
Rochelle Gwerm	the whole gang is here
Navaya	now if you just surround him and flash on and off, he'll be dragged to death on the floor
Red	"Now let's try... continual flame."
Drufle (GM)	Oh hoh! Not sure how you're casting that on the same turn, though.
Rochelle Gwerm	summons get a standard action right?
Red	its a sla
Drufle (GM)	Wait, do lantern archons know continual flame? Holy damn. Well uh.
Rochelle Gwerm	yeeeeaaaah!
Drufle (GM)	That sure would do it. BZZZZRT
Red	brb
Drufle (GM)	The shadow demon kinda blinks a bit as all the lights turn on.
Rochelle Gwerm	Red's done his job, so he'll take a quick break
Drufle (GM)	I mean, the other 6 archons still need to go.
Rochelle Gwerm	lasers I assume?
Drufle (GM)	Probably. Also, now that you guys can actually see the room.
Rochelle Gwerm	"THERE!! ENEMY!!" "WE SEE YOU!!"
Drufle (GM)	There are a number of massive, jagged purple crystals around the room, pulsing with a peculiar light. There are statues in the corners, but you can't actually see those. But on a marble slab behind Euystoriax lies a crumpled red banned. Er. Banner.
Red	BACK
Navaya	a crumpled Red, banned
Rochelle Gwerm	welcome back we found the banner
Red	im banned
Rochelle Gwerm	and a demon, oddly enough
Drufle (GM)	So, 6 laser beams? I imagine?
Red	"I wanted all seven to be ready, but this will do." "Good work, Lantern! Now let your brothers and sisters do the rest." advance them a bit one time back tile there we go
Red	thank so six huh im gonna roll now?
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead.
Red	2 x light rays 6 (3 ignores DR)/9 (1 ignores DR) touch bad 2 x light rays 21 (4 ignores DR)/10 (4 ignores DR) touch 2 x light rays 4 (6 ignores DR)/14 (5 ignores DR) touch 2 x light rays 13 (3 ignores DR)/16 (5 ignores DR) touch 2 x light rays 20 (6 ignores DR)/6 (3 ignores DR) touch
Red	2 x light rays 7 (4 ignores DR)/9 (2 ignores DR) touch
Drufle (GM)	Gosh. Alright, they all miss.
Red	wow thats a tough cookie
Drufle (GM)	Aerlin! Alright, uh.
Rochelle Gwerm	buff or debuff
Drufle (GM)	I guess I might as well give this spell a shot?
Rochelle Gwerm	we're all together, a haste woul- oh? you have an idea?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+11( 19 )+11 = 30 Right. He's fine. Worth a shot.
Rochelle Gwerm	Dismissal?
Navaya	fucking hell, a 30 won't do it?
Drufle (GM)	That was the demon's will save.
Navaya	oh
Rochelle Gwerm	well shit uh
Drufle (GM)	I figured I might as well give Dismissal a tyr. Try. Navaya!
Rochelle Gwerm	buffs? debuffs?
Navaya	not close enough for evil eye, sadly
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can move.
Rochelle Gwerm	buff someone then if you must and doesn't daha have some slas?
Drufle (GM)	Actually, I suppose I could Wild Arcana to try Dismissal some more, but let's not. Also technically the demon has SR but boy there is no way Aerlin could fail that check.
Rochelle Gwerm	ensure our survival first before trying the save-or-die spells
Navaya	he does have spell-likes but we neglectd to write down any of their effects
Drufle (GM)	I can look them up easily enough.
Rochelle Gwerm	was if fey animal? or fey something else?
Drufle (GM)	Gosh, I forgot he has Confusion.
Rochelle Gwerm	okay I'm on the wrong page then
Navaya	fortune hex on Roch I suppose
Rochelle Gwerm	what does that do?
Drufle (GM)	Righto.
Rochelle Gwerm	reroll?
Drufle (GM)	One reroll, yeah.
Navaya	1 reroll, lasts two rounds
Rochelle Gwerm	alright time for demons
Drufle (GM)	Is that all, or do you want to look up Daha's spells?
Navaya	no i've wasted enough time this turn
Drufle (GM)	Righto. Time for some shenanigans. The demon looks at the party, kinda nodding from person to person. "Hm... you look like an interesting target." He points past a lantern archon at Rochelle. Make a will save! Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Willpower
Save: 21
Save Notes	+2 to Will Saves against insanity and confusion
Drufle (GM)	Righto. That'd be a failure.
Rochelle Gwerm	I have fortune if needed Surge actually rolling 1d6 ( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Good work! He clucks his, uh, mist tongue thing?
Rochelle Gwerm	"BUZZ OFF, WORTHLESS DEMON"
Drufle (GM)	"Shame, perhaps later?" He then...
Red	chicken demon
Drufle (GM)	Eh, close enough. Everyone but Red and G'hesh, make a reflex save. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Reflex
Save: 9
Save Notes	+2 to Will Saves against insanity and confusion
Drufle (GM)	As well as the back three archons, I think.
Red	even the lanterns? Navaya:
Navaya	Reflex
Save:22 Drufle (GM): Aerlin : Reflex
Save: 7
Red	Ref 4 Ref 4 Ref 5 WHAT
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
Navaya	fucking aerlin
Drufle (GM)	That is incredible.
Rochelle Gwerm	well shit that is not good
Drufle (GM)	So literally all of you fail.
Navaya	i think this boss might be too tough
Red	nah
Drufle (GM)	rolling 10d6( 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 5 ) = 37 That's 37 lightning damage to all of you. As he just breathes out a cone of electricity towards you all.
Red	lanterns are immune to electricity
Drufle (GM)	Oh! Well good on them.
Rochelle Gwerm	can someone Spellcraft what he tried to do to me? I literally cannot
Red	"Hang on! I have a few ideas..." Drufle (GM): Aerlin : Spellcraft Check 25
Craftsmanship	Encompasses Craft, Appraise, Knowledge (engineering) Total - Ranks 18 7 + IntMod + 3 (CS)
Red	"This thing's arrogance will be its downfall."
Navaya	"mass CCW would be a good one..."
Drufle (GM)	That'd be a Magic Jar, Rochelle. He can possess people.
Rochelle Gwerm	he needs a fucking gem for that mate
Drufle (GM)	Not if he's a shadow demon!
Red	yeah thats just a thing they do
Drufle (GM)	They have an entire build around Magic Jar.
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck that is really bad
Drufle (GM)	They even get to keep the person's class features.
Rochelle Gwerm	damn it do I even want to know how many times he can do that
Drufle (GM)	The demon smiles, and he chuckles. "Mmmm, I can feel it. One of you had a bit of a problem with the murals, didn't you?" G'hesh proceeds to full attack on Red.
Red	metal gear noise thanks
Drufle (GM)	:P
Rochelle Gwerm	okay so deep slumber the dragon now
Drufle (GM)	So hey, remember how that trap had a "variant" of Phantasmal Killer?
Navaya	drufle this is nor SRW Z3.2 we are NOT supposed to be fighting enemies with Triple Action this early
Drufle (GM)	Turns out that variant was to not kill the target, but to secretly make them CE.
Rochelle Gwerm	did no one spellcraft it?
Navaya	AUGHHH
Red	hey what
Rochelle Gwerm	also is that permenant
Drufle (GM)	Nope. It also happens to have an onset of one day! Or, like, the 8-hour rest thing. "Day".
Red	how delightfully devilish, seymour
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, full attack!
Rochelle Gwerm	now none of us can move so fuck everything this is stupid
Navaya	good thing I finished making a new character for another game huh
Drufle (GM)	352925 Good lord.
Red	guys, lets keep things light
Navaya	I am no longer attached to this one
Red	this mindset isn't helpful
Rochelle Gwerm	Red, we have one of the strongest members against us I do not know what to do
Drufle (GM)	111211 35 damage to Red. Er, 34.
Navaya	I am completely detached, it's fine
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle!
Red	:/
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck this I can't actually do anything with Ghesh there 5-foot step
Red	"Ack!" "You won't stop until you've seen us kill each other won't you!"
Drufle (GM)	If only there were some insanely powerful magical good artifact nearby that could easily turn the tides of battle, waiting to be reactivated...
Red	"It's not gonna happen!"
Navaya	now see drufle I _thought_ about that
Rochelle Gwerm	wait a moment I 5-foot this way instead
Navaya	but then thought "mister eustoriyax would have already booby-trapped that location"
Rochelle Gwerm	can I still Charge?
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, no. A 5-foot step counts as your whole movement.
Rochelle Gwerm	I need
Drufle (GM)	It's a weird nitpicky thing, you can't 5-foot and move in the same turn.
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck I can't do anything I don't think the 5-foot actually counts as a move
Drufle (GM)	Why not just move and vital strike the demon? You have plenty of hp, G'hesh can't hit that hard.
Rochelle Gwerm	FUCK NO
Red	does ghesh have combat reflexes
Rochelle Gwerm	I want nothing to do with that demon I do half damage
Drufle (GM)	She does not, no. She only gets one aoo per turn.
Red	well that would save the casters a lot of grief
Rochelle Gwerm	she hasn't used her AoO
Red	hell ill do it on my turn
Rochelle Gwerm	actually fuck it I delay for Red
Drufle (GM)	What Red is suggesting is that you use up her AoO.
Rochelle Gwerm	I have Cheetah Sprint I can get to the banner if I can cast it
Drufle (GM)	Alright, delaying! Red!
Rochelle Gwerm	rolling 2d1( 1 + 1 ) = 2
Navaya	`I want nothing to do with that demon I do half damage`` is the exact oppisite sort of mindset your character would have.
Red	"Lanterns! Aid me!"
Navaya	it's still damage.
Rochelle Gwerm	I want that banner
Drufle (GM)	She has a point there. Also, for the sake of your sanity, I'll remove the usual Thing about the banner.
Red	"Aid grants the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + caster level (to a maximum of 1d8+10 temporary hit points at caster level 10th)."
Rochelle Gwerm	someone please try to strategize in person
Drufle (GM)	The Thing being that only LG characters can activate it.
Red	they have CL 3
Drufle (GM)	Oh. Wow. So you can give someone 7d8+21 thp? That's a lot of health.
Red	well its up to you if youll allow it i... think it stacks?
Drufle (GM)	It does. Who's getting the hp?
Red	me
Drufle (GM)	Alright. And you're just gonna move into the fray, taking the dragon's AoO?
Rochelle Gwerm	please tell Rochelle to do something as well so she doesn't just do what her personality would have her do performing a combat manuever would trigger an AoO
Red	"Roche, sit tight. We're gonna beat this thing together." can i add my hp now
Rochelle Gwerm	"SITTING TIGHT THEN"
Red	i think i still have my turn
Drufle (GM)	Yep! Red himself has not gone yet.
Red	rolling 7d8+21( 1 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 7 )+21 = 50
Drufle (GM)	(by the way it is in your best interest to not only touch the banner, but to somehow hang it on a wall) (just saying)
Red	the BEEF
Rochelle Gwerm	good luck red
Drufle (GM)	Also holy shit, 50 hp.
Red	apologies for the slowness the character sheet is not helping
Drufle (GM)	Understandable. Are you just gonna run in?
Red	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Alright, one G'hesh AoO away. rolling d20+20 ( 3 )+20 = 23 Red: default Red : Burst of Speed
Spell Level: Inquisitor, 3
School: Transmutation
Cast Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Effects/Target: You
Duration: See text Rolls Caster Level Check =13 Concentration Check =25
Cast Defensively DC	21 Until the end of your turn, you gain a +20-foot bonus to speed (or +10-foot bonus if you are wearing Medium or Heavy armor), your movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you can move through the space of creatures that are larger than you are, but you cannot end your movement this round in a space occupied by a creature. Spells Notes:+1 DC to conjuration spells
Drufle (GM)	... is a 23 a hit? I don't think it actually is.
Rochelle Gwerm	Red you fool you need to trigger an AoO
Red	my ac is uhhh i cast a spell!
Rochelle Gwerm	unless you want the spellcast to trigger it
Drufle (GM)	She doesn't have to hit for the AoO to count. I hope you know t hat.
Rochelle Gwerm	I forgot the spell caused an AoO
Drufle (GM)	T hat, that nice symbol. It does! Regardless, she missed. Fun fact, I think Red can actually double move now? If he uses up his standard and move actions.
Red	with +20 speed too
Rochelle Gwerm	that is true, but then he doesn't have actions to pick up the banner but still
Red	wheres the banner
Rochelle Gwerm	go for it the yellow thing to the right that's a table (?) Red whispers
Red	"Distract him!"
Drufle (GM)	It's on the yellow altar, yes.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh so I guess I am working on distraction
Red	i go to the altar hopefully out of reach
Navaya	normally this would be the one time ghesh's dazzling display would be useful
Drufle (GM)	I imagine you have to pass by Euystoriax along the way?
Navaya	sadly, she is a bad dragon now
Drufle (GM)	Can you go around the lanterns?
Rochelle Gwerm	Burst of Speed
Red	they fly
Drufle (GM)	Oh, good point.
Red	yeah and burst of speed God Speed!
Rochelle Gwerm	position yourself need a wall so you can just do that quickly *near
Drufle (GM)	Red picks up the Sword of Valor, and a bright light shines throughout the room. Euystoriax flinches in pain, trying to ignore the light. Red feels a powerful compelling force to hang the banner somewhere.
Red	"Aaaahhh what's happening! Is this a trap again?"
Drufle (GM)	But for now, it's Rochelle's turn!
Red	"No. It's the real thing."
Rochelle Gwerm	well, he asked for a distraction "RRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Drufle (GM)	All of Euystoriax's AC's, saves and DC's are now lowered by 4.
Rochelle Gwerm	Vital Strike wait, that can't be done as part of a charge fiiiine I'l walk over and vital strike
Red	casual saunter yawns and slashes like a seasoned sushi chef Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Vital Greatclub Attack 23 vs AC Damage 32 Type: B
Melee Notes	+2 vs Demons +2 while Bloodraging (Furious) so that's actually a pretty high roll 27
Drufle (GM)	Ignoring that 1, yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	I mean the attack roll
Drufle (GM)	That does indeed hit his 21 AC, so 16 damage!
Rochelle Gwerm	I burned my swift action earlier, so that's my turn
Drufle (GM)	Aerlin! Let's, just, not be near G'hesh for now.
Rochelle Gwerm	anything to stop the magic jar shit circle of protection?
Drufle (GM)	Oh, protection from evil, good idea.
Rochelle Gwerm	yes please thank you
Drufle (GM)	Aerlin casts Communal Protection from Evil. Everyone has +2 to AC, and gets a free reroll on saves against possession. Navaya!
Rochelle Gwerm	it seems like this spell was made for this fight
Red	I like this boss music by the way
Rochelle Gwerm	Imagine trying to do this without an LG character
Red	is it still from a souls game
Drufle (GM)	It is.
Navaya	now I have been doing what you said
Rochelle Gwerm	it sounds very souls-like
Navaya	and working out what I want to do but I have many, many things I want to do
Red	get a lawful neutral and neutral good to hold it at the same time
Drufle (GM)	Well, it's an LG character or a good divine spellcaster.
Rochelle Gwerm	start by moving away from the angry dragon
Red	yeah do that or freeze her and freeze her
Navaya	1: Navi puts Ghesh to sleep, Daha confuses the demon
Drufle (GM)	Oh, it's also a +2 on saves, by the way.
Rochelle Gwerm	the banner?
Drufle (GM)	No, protection from evil.
Red	ooh the band is splitting up
Rochelle Gwerm	oh okay
Navaya	2: Navi puts up a wall of ice between the demon and red, to protect red and give him a close wall to hang the banner on, Navi confuses the demon
Red	WWND
Navaya	3: Navi casts evil eye on the demon to lower its will save, daha confuses it
Rochelle Gwerm	Ghesh, ultimately, does not actually hit very hard shut down that demon!
Navaya	ok
Rochelle Gwerm	and move high into the sky too where dragons cannot go
Drufle (GM)	Oh, Aerlin will probably do the same.
Navaya	yeah
Drufle (GM)	G'hesh has her fire breath but it is not very threatening.
Rochelle Gwerm	I guess her main gig is her high defense Navaya:
Navaya	Evil Eye SPECIAL ABILITIES SourceWitch (Winter Witch) (5) Frequency 0/0 Per 24 hrs per target Range30 Duration3+INTmod rounds The witch can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that she can see. Description
The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch’s choice)	AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. At 8th level the penalty increases to –4.
Rochelle Gwerm	hyes
Drufle (GM)	So, -4 to will saves?
Red	(wow if we're gonna make ghesh stay at the barracks this is actually an opportunity)
Navaya	well it says "saving throws" so I guess all of them?
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right. He does get a will save to resist.
Navaya	(I was prepared to throw her into the slime pit to die)
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+7( 7 )+7 = 14
Navaya	yes that too
Drufle (GM)	Another -4 to saves it is!
Navaya	yay!
Rochelle Gwerm	go Daha
Navaya	now Daha will use Confusion
Rochelle Gwerm	perform the dance of your people
Red	do the weasel dance of your ancestors
Drufle (GM)	So another will save against Confusion? Righto.
Navaya	uhhh yes
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3( 6 )+3 = 9 Well then.
Rochelle Gwerm	I think the banner is getting to him
Drufle (GM)	Having a -8 to saves kinda sucks.
Rochelle Gwerm	now suddenly this looks not so bad still pissed about Ghesh
Drufle (GM)	Right, confusion... rolling d100 ( 67 ) = 67 rolling d8 ( 2 ) = 2 2 damage to his own face it is.
Red	friendship ended with ghesh, now banner is my best friend
Navaya	slap
Drufle (GM)	Speaking of which, G'hesh! Uhhhh. All my targets have left me...
Rochelle Gwerm	move very slowly
Navaya	"Not so scary now that you can't tell your own ass from your own head!"
Drufle (GM)	Are the lantern archons out of reach?
Red	The lanterns all point their lasers at her. like snipers!
Rochelle Gwerm	I assume that, if it can fly, it is flying
Drufle (GM)	I'm asking because I need to know whether I attack that archon or Roch.
Rochelle Gwerm	can she even reach me?
Navaya	have her user her dailly breath weapon
Drufle (GM)	If the archon is out of the way and she charges, yes.
Red	did the CE change make Ghesh smart
Rochelle Gwerm	you sure? what's her speed
Drufle (GM)	She has an impressive 40 feet of movement while charging.
Rochelle Gwerm	last I check it was 4 tiles hmmm
Navaya	no she's just even more indiscriminate now
Drufle (GM)	I have to hit something!
Rochelle Gwerm	hit the eye its right there
Red	yeah the eye
Rochelle Gwerm	taunting you
Navaya	throw a sword
Drufle (GM)	And either that archon or Roch are the closest things in reach.
Red	hit the demon
Rochelle Gwerm	idealu she would hit the archon, but logically the archon would be in the air its red's call
Drufle (GM)	I just want to know how high up the archons are!
Red	they have perfect maneuverability if that matters
Rochelle Gwerm	not in this case
Drufle (GM)	It really doesn't. Are they 5-10 feet up, or 15+.
Red	eye level then
Drufle (GM)	Right, archon it is! rolling d20+20 ( 18 )+20 = 38 rolling d8+12 ( 4 )+12 = 16
Red	Aha! You've activated my trap card!
Navaya	do they explode now
Drufle (GM)	Well, it is Red's turn now. So they can do whatever they like.
Rochelle Gwerm	rolling 2d1( 1 + 1 ) = 2 I think I go after red now
Red	they have dr 10/evil
Rochelle Gwerm	since I delayed
Drufle (GM)	Correct, Roch.
Red	OK where do i plant this thing
Navaya	on a wall
Red	point me to the sconces, druffle
Rochelle Gwerm	anywhere you can
Drufle (GM)	Do you actually have something to pin it up there with?
Navaya	oh the bac wall was right there
Drufle (GM)	It's not gonna hold itself up.
Rochelle Gwerm	have a lantern act as a tack
Red	i cant believe this is a flag puzzle
Rochelle Gwerm	hold it up yourself then
Red	i hang it on my morningstar
Rochelle Gwerm	you have archons
Red	will that count
Drufle (GM)	THE FLAG IS ON THE WALL A bright white portal flashes open over the altar.
Rochelle Gwerm	wtf
Red	wtf
Aerlin	who do i punch
Navaya	i cant believe you let him use a spiky club as a nail
Rochelle Gwerm	not sure
Red	is that you streak
Navaya	HELLO

Drufle (GM)	"GREETINGS MOTHERFUCKERS"
Rochelle Gwerm	it has 6 wings
Navaya	is that its actual voice
Rochelle Gwerm	this is a high ranking celestial "GREETINGS"
Red	i cant believe we summoned satan
Drufle (GM)	An actual, honest-to-gods Planetar steps through the portal.
Rochelle Gwerm	"WILL YOU JOIN US IN THE DEMON SLAYING?"
Navaya	"whaaaaa"
Red	"Please! We need your assistance!"
Drufle (GM)	Euystoriax is understandably terrified.
Navaya	"I mean we're doing okay right now but uh"
Rochelle Gwerm	is he?
Aerlin	NO ONE HURTS GHESH
Rochelle Gwerm	I thought he was confused
Navaya	"every little helps!"
Drufle (GM)	"UNDERSTOOD. EVIL DEMON, BE GONE"
Red	thenperish.jpg
Rochelle Gwerm	does the shadow demon even know what is happening?
Drufle (GM)	Ok, will save for the demon.
Navaya	vaguely
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3( 7 )+3 = 10
Aerlin	Surge his roll but in reverse
Navaya	ok yeha that's Streak
Rochelle Gwerm	how low can he go?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d10( 10 ) = 10
Rochelle Gwerm	it is hard to imitate streak
Aerlin	DEATH
Drufle (GM)	Right, the demon is now paralyzed for the next 10 minutes.
Navaya	can you coup-de-grace these ones?
Rochelle Gwerm	wow
Drufle (GM)	I mean... I guess so?
Red	everyone fuckin attack it
Rochelle Gwerm	right so, do shadow demons have anatomy? yeah sure I'll just
Drufle (GM)	He can't be insta-killed, but you still get the max damage.
Rochelle Gwerm	give that a shot
Aerlin	force punch
Red	the lanterns, me, the hole
Navaya	oh yeah
Rochelle Gwerm	Vital Coup De Grace? can I do that?
Red	"Th-thank you..."
Drufle (GM)	I... don't know. "IT WAS OF NO ISSUE, SMALL MAN"
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck it, its 10 minutes of paralysis, there isn't much reason not to screw the rules
Drufle (GM)	"SERIOUSLY, THOSE GUYS SUCK" Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Vital Greatclub Attack 34 vs AC Damage 32 Type: B
Melee Notes	+2 vs Demons +2 while Bloodraging (Furious)
Red	"I, on behalf of everyone here and back at the base."
Rochelle Gwerm	max whatever that roll is 8x4?
Drufle (GM)	"HERE, LEMME HELP YOU OUT WITH THAT"
Red	this is a servant of Pan
Aerlin	did i try to banish it
Drufle (GM)	The Planetar jams his greatsword in the demon and does 117 damage.
Rochelle Gwerm	you did Aerlin "AHA! THE DEMON IS SLAIN"
Drufle (GM)	"WOW, HE'S A TOUGHIE, THAT USUALLY WORKS BETTER"
Aerlin	can i punch it
Drufle (GM)	Punch it!
Rochelle Gwerm	go ahead Aerlin
Navaya	everyone get a shot in! Red the choir of Lantern Archons applaud
Red	lmao why did red do that
Rochelle Gwerm	"MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MYSTIC POWERS"
Red	pretend i said something sensical
Rochelle Gwerm	"LOTTA THAT GOING AROUND HERE"
Red	hmhmm
Aerlin	rolling 9d4( 4 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 ) = 24
Drufle (GM)	So Aerlin does... 9*6=54 damage. Oh, I would've thought you'd mythic it.
Red	"Angels are something else..."
Aerlin	okay i did sure
Red	hey is it running away
Rochelle Gwerm	"NOW THE DEMON IS SLAIN"
Drufle (GM)	The punch actually made of force sends the demon flying into the wall, where it slumps dead.
Navaya	it was blasted against, or through, the wall
Red	i shoot it with lasers
Rochelle Gwerm	"EXCELLENT WORK, AERLIN"
Drufle (GM)	The purple crystal shatters behind it.
Aerlin	"Begone, beast."
Drufle (GM)	" WOW, GOOD PUNCH, LITTLE LADY"
Red	pew pew pew
Rochelle Gwerm	"SHE IS A GOOD LITTLE LADY"
Navaya	"Scuse me! mister spaceman? Our dragon friend has been made evil! will she be fine? if not, could you please help her too?"
Drufle (GM)	"WELL, THIS LOOKS LIKE A RIGHT MESS THEN, DOESN'T IT"
Aerlin	Aerlin falls into a sitting position, relieved.
Drufle (GM)	"OH, ONE OF THEM, EH?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"BAD MAGIC DID SOMETHING" "USUALLY NOT EVIL"
Aerlin	She stands to attention again.
Red	well she was one step away at least
Drufle (GM)	The planetar snaps his fingers and casts Remove Curse.
Rochelle Gwerm	"THOUGH NOT MUCH LESS PRECISE"
Aerlin	"I will assist."
Navaya	"Thank you!!"
Aerlin	"Ghesh, are you okay?"
Red	rooby roo, she exclaims
Drufle (GM)	"WAS THAT ACTUALLY ALL I WAS CALLED HERE FOR. USUALLY THEY ONLY USE THE EMERGENCY BUTTON FOR EMERGENCIES"
Rochelle Gwerm	"DEMONS KINDA TOOK OVER"
Red	"Is that what Old Celestial sounds like?"
Navaya	"Well this entire citadel is serving as the stroghold for a demonic invasion of our planet..." Red isn't letting the Sword of Valor out of his sight.
Drufle (GM)	"IT'S VERY SHOUTY, I APOLOGIZE."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I LIKE OLD CELESTIAL" "I MUST LEARN IT"
Aerlin	"See through the lies, friend. You are you. That is everything you are."
Drufle (GM)	"SO, LIKE, CAN I GO BACK THEN? I WAS KINDA IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CELESTIAL SOAPS"
Red	I think this one is named Greg
Aerlin	"I can't believe Brandy married Jeffery."
Rochelle Gwerm	"THANK YOU MANY-WINGED FRIEND"
Navaya	his name is CAPTAIN PLANET
Drufle (GM)	"INHERITOR ABOVE, I KNOW! JEFFERY IS THE WORST."
Navaya	"am I still alive???" Navaya is very disoriented Red smiles.
Drufle (GM)	"IS ANYONE DEAD? I CAN LIKE, FIX THAT TOO, IF YOU WANT."
Red	"I TOLD YOU WE'LL MAKE IT"
Rochelle Gwerm	"IT IS UNFORTUNATE, THE SHOW WAS GOOD FROM SEASONS 1 to 4"
Aerlin	"Do you need assistence, Navaya?"
Navaya	"Among us? nobody! amazing I know"
Rochelle Gwerm	"OH!"
Drufle (GM)	"IT IS GOOD TO KNOW MORTALS APPRECIATE GOOD COSMIC TELEVISION. HERE, HAVE MY CARD" Rochelle Gwerm ends the rage
Rochelle Gwerm	"Idea" "There is a lady who's soul is tied to some demon thing"
Drufle (GM)	The Planetar hands Aerlin his card.
Aerlin	I take the card.
Navaya	I'm glad he gave us that so we can sell him iced cream shares
Rochelle Gwerm	"Apparently the only way to stop that is to kill her then resurect her"
Aerlin	I give him the thumbs up.
Drufle (GM)	"OH, IS THAT ALL? I CAN DEAL WITH THAT, PROBABLY."
Navaya	"oh yeah! that lady"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Lets give it a show"
Navaya	"my memory's going"
Red	"Oh yes, while you're here. Like they said, we still have a few loose ends."
Drufle (GM)	"CAN YOU GIVE ME A DESCRIPTION OF THE CELL, I CAN KINDA JUST GO THERE."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Magically reinforced"
Aerlin	how are there 7 of these lanterns what happened here
Navaya	Red is a very lucky roller
Rochelle Gwerm	"Its an anti-magic zone as well"
Drufle (GM)	"MAN, ANTIMAGIC FIELDS ARE THE WORST."
Red	max rolls babey
Aerlin	how were we losing
Drufle (GM)	Alright, we move back to the jail area.
Red	i didnt do my finishing move sadly
Rochelle Gwerm	the Demon could cast Magic Jar a lot
Red	"You did good, lanterns."
Drufle (GM)	Only three times a day!
Rochelle Gwerm	it didn't get anyone but damn three times is plenty when you only need to do it once
Drufle (GM)	"YOU THERE, SPAWN OF THE DEMONS. I'VE BEEN TOLD YOU'RE IN NEED OF A FIXING"
Navaya	that wasn't the problem
Red	I was ready to switch to hound archons to get constant magic circle against evil
Navaya	the problem was the cone of lightning that hit us all for 37 damage
Red	"Wow, I can hear them from here."
Navaya	and THEN Ghesh went CE on us
Rochelle Gwerm	not a thing for Rochelle, but it kinda messes with the casters
Drufle (GM)	You hear a brief scream from afar.
Navaya	because of the mutant phantasmal killer earlier
Red	"O-oh my."
Drufle (GM)	"WOW, I FORGOT HOW MUCH MORTALS BLEED."
Red	"What."
Rochelle Gwerm	Red actually did a good thing and took the AoO from Ghesh so everyone could get away
Drufle (GM)	"RIGHT, LET'S FIX YOU UP THEN."
Navaya	oh
Rochelle Gwerm	"Huh" "Do celestials not...bleed?"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+19( 18 )+19 = 37 Yep, she's good.
Red	"Sometimes they fracture into sparkling motes."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I don't know what a mote is so...okay?"
Navaya	a particule a molecile
Red	"Like dust!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Then why didn't you just say so?"
Drufle (GM)	Well then...
Red	"It's called being old timey poetic."
Drufle (GM)	That's mostly how that fight is meant to go.
Rochelle Gwerm	"..."
Navaya	yayyy
Rochelle Gwerm	"Small folk are weird"
Drufle (GM)	I don't think they actually expect anyone to fail the mural trap.
Red	"That's how magic users, both arcane and divine, do."
Drufle (GM)	So defeating Euystoriax and reclaiming the Sword of Valor counts as a mythic trial!
Rochelle Gwerm	they put it in, so obviously it would get someone
Navaya	oh so we're just meant to bumrush for the banner and win that way? minus evilness
Drufle (GM)	Pretty much, yeah.
Navaya	cool
Rochelle Gwerm	Aerlin, the thingy is on the wall there
Drufle (GM)	You can totally beat him normally, it's just an absolute bastard of a fight. Red, Radiance has another +1 now, by the way.
Red	hallulujah
Aerlin	Unfortunately for him, we are also Bastards.
Rochelle Gwerm	so we got a mythic trial now
Red	*e
Drufle (GM)	Tier 3!
Rochelle Gwerm	I need to get used to seeing crazy shit
Red	we are the glorious bastards
Rochelle Gwerm	I keep forgetting that we're crazier
Aerlin	Aerlin takes that banner.
Red	"Hey, no one else is secretly evil right now, is there?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"You can see evil, you tell us"
Red	"Please let the nearest celestial know."
Navaya	"I think captain planet would know"
Drufle (GM)	The planetar has constant True Seeing. Also discern lies. So don't mess with him. So that's the end of book 2!
Red	neatorama
Drufle (GM)	There actually isn't any nice pile of loot here.
Navaya	congratulations
Drufle (GM)	All the loot in Drezen was in those two piles upstairs.
Rochelle Gwerm	okay so I'm getting Display of Strength and mythic Vital Strike
Drufle (GM)	We can deal with all the tier-upping stuff later.
Navaya	ok
Drufle (GM)	Next time (whenever that may be), we begin book 3: Demon's Heresy.
Aerlin	"This place is ours, now."
Red	"Dibs on the chimera's room!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Why would you want it" "It smells terribl"
Navaya	"well not literally. I doubt the amry would let us turn this place into the Iced Cream Palace"
Red	"We could..." "But no, the mission is more important." "Maybe after we retire." oh no i said the r word we gon die
Navaya	you IMPECILE also IMBECILE
Aerlin	"..."
Drufle (GM)	To be fair, Drezen is now your HQ.
Aerlin	"We did good."
Red	impecile is a monster in the bestiary
Navaya	oh ok
Drufle (GM)	It'll slowly begin recovering, and eventually reclaim its former glory. But that's part of next book.
Navaya	oh so this is the downtime home improvement
Drufle (GM)	Yep!
Navaya	:D
Drufle (GM)	The entire first part of book 3 is relaxation.
Red	"Now to get rid of all those tasteless modifications the demons made."
Aerlin	tim allen grunt
Drufle (GM)	Buying goods, building your own homes and bases in the citadel.
Navaya	finding out what the CON-draining slime is and turning into a new flavour or topping
Red	and sell it to children
Navaya	we'll market it as a diet aid
Rochelle Gwerm	uhhh
Red	what
Drufle (GM)	That was not very close to Tim Taylor, roll20. Try harder. Anyway, that'll be all for now. Next week, we begin our short hiatus with the MCA game.
Navaya	:)
Red	oh BOY
Aerlin	its gonna be a HOOT
Red	im scared
Aerlin	you will be attacked by OWLS
Navaya	Drufle's own is gonna be a hoot
Red	along with the horses
Rochelle Gwerm	sorry just quickly dealing with tier 3
Navaya	and my elephant is gonna be a toot
Aerlin	horseowls but doubled
Drufle (GM)	Owlbears.
Red	ancient psychic tandem war horse owls
Navaya	hippogriffs but with owl faces
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle is now tier 3 brb for a sec
Red	whats tier 3 a feat?
Aerlin	A new gang investigates mysterious earthquakes..
Drufle (GM)	Mythic power, mythic feat, +mythic hp.
Aerlin	What could it mean??
Drufle (GM)	I'll detail things in discord. We're done here for now.
Navaya	oki
Drufle (GM)	See everyone next time.
