01-18 Chamber of the Crypt Guardian

The party proceeds west down the wide, pillared hall. The rescued prisoners staying well behind, as they've quickly learned that the party can't seem to move 5 inches without a fight breaking out. Jalissa remains slightly hysterical (or maybe just over dramatic). Mirtala starts tending to the boy, Thurann, which helps to bring her out of her shell further. Thurann chatters on and on about how his daddy will save him and his daddy is a big hero and ... and ... and ... and you feel somewhat guilty about letting him believe Daddy is still alive. The dwarf and the castellan mutter quietly to each other.

The room you approach is large, with columns supporting the ceiling. A brazier in the southern end illuminates the room. A foul creature stalks the space bounded by the columns, but it stops short of crossing that boundary.

Map notes: You can be further back right now - I just needed to put you on the map.

[attriel]

'Oh ... Jacoby, does that look familiar?'

Religion check ... because there's been a lot of religious stuff, maybe ...

Nope, not a relgious creature ...
not magical construct ...
not a dungeony thing that i've heard about ...
not a natural thing ...

holy crap, it's a thing!!!

[Greebo]

The thing is certainly demonic - but beyond that, you have not got a clue. (Arcana)

[Quervo]

Arcana +6 - 16
Religion +6 - 14

Eliphino???

[Greebo]

Monster knowledge checks are done on a single category only. This monster falls under Arcane.

Jacoby recognizes the creature before you as an Evistro Demon. That's all he can tell you, however - just it's name.

[Greebo]

At this point I have got it in my head that you are far back enough that the light isn't hitting you and the demon hasn't actually seen you yet. Let me know what you want to do.

[attriel]

I just rolled the whole gamut b/c I wasn't sure which it'd be under.

'it seems like it might be restrained within that area. Should we kill it from afar, so it can't hit us? Or do we leave the ... thing alive and just go around it, up to the North?'

I'm assuming we can't see the critters to the north from our vantage

[attriel]

'Oh, and seriously Jacoby, does that look like what tried to eat you when we lowered you down the hole?'

Possibly a question for the GM, does Jacoby think this looks like what tried to eat him, or was it just traumatic enough that over the last two days he just doesn't know?

Actually never mind. Looking through, I think we killed that at some later point, and we know that was a drake of some sort and this is a demon, so probably dissimiliar

[Greebo]

Possibly a question for the GM, does Jacoby think this looks like what tried to eat him, or was it just traumatic enough that over the last two days he just doesn't know?

Jacoby got a really good look, and no, not the same thing. A pair of large drakes tried to eat Jacoby

[Asharad]

Follow up arcana check to see if I know more than he does.

Also, does my angel follow us around or dissapear at the end of the encounter (sorry, I'm not near my books).

[Sagar]

Raj stops the party and whispers to the others:

"Since it doesn't see us yet, how about those of us with ranged attacks all fire at it before it attacks?"

Arcane +7 to figure out what it does.

[Greebo]

Consider yourselves on the "paper" map to be back at the entrance to the 15' wide hall. Any closer than the 3rd pillar from the east, it's certain to notice you. Sooner, in fact, cause you're holding a sunrod.

Duma This is an Evistro Demon. Its a pure brute - melee combat only with claws and teeth. It's intensely durable (high fort) but otherwise rather unimpressive, defensively, except for the damage it can take (lots). It also has the ability to focus its defenses against any elemental damage type of its choice, but it can only do that once. (Variable resistance 1/x encounter) If you've got it's allies next to you, its even more vicious (bonus to hit - stacks w/ ca).

Angel went away w/ the short rest.

[attriel]

"Sounds like a solid plan, Raj. I'm sure we'll be needing your help in a second Urvi"

Initiative! +2!

16

I'm assuming that to blast it from the dark, we'll need initiative rolls

[Greebo]

I assume you're going for surprise here?

[attriel]

I assume you're going for surprise here?

Well, kinda hoping that at least the first hit will come as a surprise. The rest maybe less so, but yeah I think we'd like a surprise round :)

[Greebo]

Attriel and Raj, roll stealth (you've been talking, sounds carry).

Duma if you share your knowledge about the beast, you also will need to roll stealth.

[Sagar]

Did I learn anything about the beast? (Can I read the spoiler?)

Init+2 = 9
Quiet talking, +1 = 11 but we aren't actually MOVING so hopefully that is enough.

[attriel]

Stealth roll!

19 stealth, I R SNKY~

[Greebo]

Did I learn anything about the beast? (Can I read the spoiler?)
Yes, go ahead.

Quiet talking, +1 = 11 but we aren't actually MOVING so hopefully that is enough.

Opposed check, so we'll see...

[Kiir]

Init +2

[Greebo]

As you are talking quietly amongst yourselves, your voice raises just a little...and hits a timbre that reverberates. Suddenly the Evistro freezes, its ears perking up (20 perception), and starts sniffing, while glaring down the hallway in your direction. It charges towards you but slams into a field of energy between the columns. It roars, angrily, and continues throwing itself against an invisible barrier, unable to get to you. But then a wererat appears at the northern doorway and yells, “I release you, crypt guardian!"

Initiative! (if you haven't). No surprise.

[attriel]

Do the pillars take up the whole square, preventing us from moving through the square? Or just enough to prevent us staying in the square? Or neither?

[Greebo]

You can cut the corners of them, but not move directly through them in combat, and not stand in them.

[attriel]

Unless anyone objects, to get this out of the way, inits for Jacoby and Duma

well ... I think I'd object to having ****ty rolls :o

Jacoby 4
Duma 3

let's dance!

[Greebo]

If you'd rolled well, you'd have to wait for them to post moves anyway. ;)

[Quervo]

I have been on double baby duty for the passed 3 days... Someone keep playing for me. I will post on the pbp main... I just dont have time to keep up right now

[Asharad]

Sorry, I was afk.

Assume I yell the basics of Enviso demon biology, so if it's okay with Greebs, ya'll can go ahead and peek at my spoiler section.

[Greebo]

The demon moves, then charges Urvi from K10, its claws rake (16 vs ac17) at her but she avoids the blow.

The rats take up positions at the corners of the hall, clearly preparing to move in next round. (One runs to get into place). Their bodies shimmer, and they are suddenly in rat form.

Shere

[Greebo]

I already accepted Shere's roll for you Duma, sorry

[attriel]

(a) Er, did you put the demon down in the wrong square, or does it really have reach 3? eerk
(b)The map (http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=uvivmt1de8vsdvtph2wwzef55je82g2cxpoam 7rm7y6fyfvlpkpizuhk3y7eqxuz) if anyone else wants top look at it ...
(c) Duma's roll just puts him before Jacoby instead of after :o not much improvement man

...

Actually, I think my move is dependent on whether the critter swung at Urvi from 15' away or not ...Faily sure not, since it only moved one square, whihc I don't think even counts for a charge, but ...

[Greebo]

Wrong square - i put it in K10 to set up the charge and missed, then forgot to move it

[attriel]

Hrrm. Those pillars sure do provide a lot of cover for stuff

Shere declares an oath against the demon (Minor: Oath of Enmity) and then brings down radiant vengeance on it (Standard: Radiant Vengeance: +6 vs R, 1d8+5 Radiant Dmg, +4 THP)

18 vs Reflex
9 Radiant Damge
4 THP

[Shiz]

Round 1 Jacoby:

Std: Cutting Words, 3+6=9 vs WIL = MISS!

[Greebo]

Hrrm. Those pillars sure do provide a lot of cover for stuff
Look up: Bull Rush

Shere sends a blast of radiant energy at the demon (18 vs. ref) which slams into it (9 dmg), even as he puts his oath against it.

No, I meant I was trying to line up for the rats, and realized that while I could live with partial cover from the corners, the pillars were gonna give them superior ...

OTOH, it means they'll have a hell of a time hitting me, too

[Greebo]

Yeah it wasn't a direct reply really - more of a suggestion of what I think Urvi should do if you don't want the crap pounded out of you one, by one, by one...

[Kiir]

Hearing a voice from the primordials, Urvi Bull Rushes the demon trying to push him back one square to M10 (standard).

[Greebo]

Scratch that...

[Greebo]

Urvi grapples with the demonic beast, and (19 vs. fort) PUSHES the monster back, making room for her allies to advance, gaining the advantage position.

http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=uvivmt1de8vsdvtph2wwzef55je82g2cxpoam 7rm7y6fyfvlpkpizuhk3y7eqxuz

[Sagar]

Raj will peek around his pillar and fire Dragonfrost at the demon.

DF, +6 vs Fort, d8+7 cold damage, push 1 (away from the party).

15 vs Fort.
14 damage if hi.

Raj takes advantage of Shere's vast abilities to refocus and aim better.

Natural 20 vs the demon (26 total).

15 cold damage,
push back 1.

[Greebo]

A 15 isn't going to do it vs. fort - but Shere has the 1 time reroll for any ally out there if you want to use it.

[attriel]

Jacoby uses Cutting Words on the creature (Standard: Cutting Words: +6 vs Will, 1d8+5 Psychic dmg)

Duma, then uses Avenging Light (Standard: Avenging Light: +5 vs Fort, 1d10+4 Radiant dmg)

Edit:
20 vs Will
8 Psychic Damage

20 vs Fort
9 Radiant Damage

[Shiz]

Might as well let atty run Jacoby. Always better to have someone in the same group.

[attriel]

Meh. I was just tired of waiting for Jacoby and Duma, figured I'd at elast advance us some

[Greebo]

I took the reroll.

I said so. Rerolled.. even put in an edit comment.

How would you prefer to be notified of this? A new post or a post saying look at the old post, it's different?

[Greebo]

Damn. I swear that wasn't there before!!! I'll have to check my browser settings - maybe it's being cached at home...

Anyway, editing doesn't reset the thread as having been updated, so either a new reply saying "rolled in previous" or a new reply taking the roll would be fine. I just ask all of you that IF you edit, let me know you edited with a new reply.

[Greebo]

Ok - now to confirm - are you sure you want to push it back again? Right now it's in a position where only the evistro can reach Urvi and 2 more people can stand beside Urvi and hit it.

The were rats are not armed with ranged weapons.

[Asharad]

Move to q10

Eat avenging light, demon! (Since we dont want to move you, according to our illustrious DM, and that works for me)

please see reply #45 above - just to be clear, I'll ignore Atty's post on your behalf, shall I?

[Greebo]

(Since we dont want to move you, according to our illustrious DM, and that works for me)

I dunno for sure what he intends - but you theoretically could keep pushing him back into the room - after he lets me know, I'll let you decide if you want to slide more or not.

[Asharad]

Yeah ignore atty's post, thanks.

And don't worry about me sliding him. I used avenging light and there isn't a slide component to that. When in doubt, I don't slide! :)

[Greebo]

Raj draws on Shere's inspiration and blasts the Evistro with a burst of cold (crit: 15 dmg). The Evistro, seeing the blast coming, roars and magical fire shimmers over its body (variable DR10 - 15dmg - 10dmg = 5 dmg; encounter power).

Jacoby crafts a cunning limerick laced with magic that (20 vs. will) lances the psyche of the demon (8 dmg).

Duma sends out a blast of avenging light (23vsfort) which sears the demonic flesh(11 dmg)

[Sagar]

Cold resistance.. the bastard! That leaves me out of damage potential for the most part.

Anyone want to fly over and attack the rats?

(Sorry for the delay.. State RCRA inspectors made an unannounced visit. They just left.. all went well :)

[Greebo]

Duma, did you tell the party about the resistances of the demon?

And again - are you SURE about moving the demon?

[Sagar]

I knew about the resistance. I toyed with the idea of scooting forward and hitting it with fire then moving back and plugging it with ice.

No, I don't want to move it.

I hope the rats move forward.. if so, I WILL move forward and wash them all in fire :)
Of course, then I'll miss and all 3 will hit me back and I'll be a fading memory as the rest go on to level 3....

[Greebo]

ok then...

Duma - noted

Well honestly I rather expected y'all to come fill in the spots by Urvi...but since you didn't...

The Evistro shifts to just north of Urvi and claws at her (23 vs. AC notenough) slashing her skin (9 dmg).

Wererat 1 comes up the center of the hall on all fours, sharp teeth dripping with saliva. It leaps at her, mouth wide (20 vs. AC17), and the teeth rip into her arm (6 dmg) which starts bleeding (2 dmg ongoing SE). Urvi suddenly doesn't feel so great (Exposure: Filth fever). Finally, the rat shimmers, and is human again, hand ready to draw its sword.

Wererat 2 comes up behind Wererat 1, waiting.

[attriel]

Shere will move to engage the Evistro (Move: P11-O10), and bring his flail around (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +7 vs AC, 1d10+4 Damage, 2 Radiant if someone else attacks me). He will then shift down to the other side of Urvi (AP: Move: Shift O10-N11) to keep the ratsmen from flanking her

25 vs AC
5 Untyped
2 Radiant if someone (say, the rat) attacks me

[Kiir]

Urvi makes a save using her font against the ongoing damage (free). She then calls upon her stone's endurance (5 resist all damage till EONT, minor) and then attacks the demon and ratman 1 with Hungry Earth (+7 vs Fort, 1d12+4 untyped damage, until the EOTN each square in burst is difficult terrain for your enemies (close burst 1) standard action). She also marks ratman 1 and the demon (free). She then tries to save again against the ongoing damage (free).

Font = 1 no save
5 resist all damage until EONT
Attack vs ratman 1 17 + 7 = 24 vs fort
Attack vs demon 13 + 7 = 20 vs fort
damage 10 + 4 = 14
difficult terrain till EONT in close burst 1 from me for my enemies
save = 10

[Greebo]

Shere steps up to the fore and slams (25 vs. AC) his flail into the Demon (5 dmg) before shifting (AP) to cover Urvi's flank.

Urvi bleeds some (2 dmg) and then calls upon the power of stone (5DR all eont) and unleashes a burst of power that causes the earth to reach up and grab both the rat (25 vs. fort) and demon (20 vs. fort). They stumble and stagger as the earth moves under their feet (14 dmg; demon bloodied). Finally, her wounds close. (save vs. ongoing)

Don't forget Urvi's marks

[Greebo]

What, you don't want to get hit and cause more dmg to the demon? ;)

[attriel]

What, you don't want to get hit and cause more dmg to the demon? ;)

Well, there is that, but I figured she marked them, and if it attacks me I'd like it to have the -2. IT doesn't have to hit me, after all ;)

[Sagar]

For some reason, I didn't think the demon could move between Urvi and the column. *shrug*

Raj, knowing he can't really do much to the demon, moves to P10 and tries to blast wererat 1 with dragonfrost. (+6 vs Fort, d8+7 damage, no push used.)

Raj then uses an AP to attack again:

Attack 1 vs Rat 1: 20 vs Fort, 9 cold damage, no push
Attack 2 vs Rat 1: 12 vs Fort, 8 cold damage, no push.

Attack vs wall with head - no, if I roll that it will probably be a 20.

[Greebo]

Are you sure you read what I told Duma about the resistances?

[Sagar]

I am sure I think I understand what you told Duma. The demon now has cold resistance for the rest of the encounter.

[Greebo]

Yeah - see discussion - for some silly reason I thought it was only good for one attack. And 4e is SIMPLIFIED

[attriel]

Jacoby calls up discordant harmonies to rend the beast (Standard: Focused Sound: +6 vs Reflex, 1d10+5 Thunder dmg, all Crit 18-20 vs Demon EONT)

25 vs Reflex
15 Thunder Damage
All can Crit 18-20 vs Demon until EONT

[Asharad]

Let's start with preserver's rebuke against the demon. That gives Urvi +7 temp hit points.

I will cast Blades of Astral Fire Centered on Ratman1 (M10).

Attack:+5 vs reflex
Vs demon:27
Vs ratman1:21
vs ratman2:22

damage:8

Urvi and Tor get +5 ac until eont

[Greebo]

Ok where were we...

Raj steps forward and sends a bolt of cold at the first wererat (20 vs. fort) which (9 dmg) leaves it feeling frosty. He fires off a second attack which, sadly (12 vs. fort) is close, but no cigar. (AP used)

Jacoby sends a burst of focused sound at the demon easily bypassing its defenses (25 vs. ref) and slamming it with sound (15 dmg). The demon seems ill at ease (natural 18-20 for crit, eont j)

Duma sends rebuking magic at the Demon in response to its hit on Urvi, which bolsters her defenses (+7 THP Urvi). This being a reaction, it reduces the damage from the wererat's attack to 0 and the ongoing damage by 1 (no more thp, 7 less total dmg). Then blades of astral energy appear centered o the first rat, hitting (27,21,22 vs. respective reflexes) all three enemies (8 dmg) while bolstering the defenses of the allies (Urvi, Shere +5 ac - eont duma; rat 1 bloodied)

[Greebo]

Seeing an opening, the Demon moves behind Urvi (flanking - Urvi gets an OA), and playing off the were-rat's position (bonus to hit for ally adjacent) claws at Urvi. Even after all that (16 vs. AC17+5), it cannot land a blow. It roars in frustration.

WereRat 1 moves (allowing OA from Urvi and Shere) allowing #2 to step forward. The first rat attacks Urvi with his sword (25 vs. AC17+5=22), landing a solid (9 dmg) hit.

The second rat, still in dire rat form, bites at Shere. The rat is extremely nimble and (28 vs. AC17+5) easily lands a nasty little bite (6 dmg) on Shere which is left gaping (2 ongoing, SE) and Shere also feels feverish (exposed: filth fever). The magical shield on Shere sends a bolt of pain (retribution) at the Demon (2 radiant).

Urvi gets 1 OA vs. demon, 1 OA vs. rat 1. Shere gets 1 OA vs. rat 1. Unless they kill the baddies or halt movement, the damage done will still apply.

[Kiir]

Urvi stirkes at the demon as it moves, and then at the rat man as he moves as well (OA, basic attack +7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage).

On her turn she will mark the mobs surrounding her (all three, free action), Then calls upon the Strength of Stone as she attacks the demon (+7 vs AC, 1d12+4 damage, +4 temp hit points, standard action).


FYI did you forget that Urvi had 5 damage resistance when the rat man attacked? Or did it really do 14 - 5 = 9 damage?

OA vs Demon natural 20 + 7 = 27 vs AC
OA damage 12 + 4 +7 = 23
OA vs Ratman 11 + 7 = 18 vs AC
OA damage 11 = 4 = 15
miss on regular attack, unless a 10 vs ac hits the demon (which I am sure it doesn't)

[Greebo]

No it should have been 9-5=4 thanks

[attriel]

OA vs Ratman 1

Then Shere will turn his attention back to his Oath target, bringing retribution down on it again (Standard: Bond of Retribution: +7 vs AC, 1d10+4 untyped dmg, 2 Radiant if I'm attacked by someone else; Crit 18+)

25 vs AC, Rat 1
12 Dmg

22 vs AC, Demon
5 Dmg :/

[Greebo]

Ok so Urvi's nat 20 with the 7 extra crit damage did EXACTLY 23 hps, which is EXACTLY what the Demon had left, so he roared in frustration as he died.

The rat lives through Urvi's OA, with 2 hps left, but not Shere's.

So Urvi never got hit.

And Shere's hit vs the demon goes to the rat 2 instead, for 5 dmg.

After a serious frosting by Raj (20 vs. fort, 15 dmg), the rat is suddenly looking VERY nervous.

[Greebo]

Bugger. I completely forgot lycanthropic regeneration. Still, only 5 points off...

[attriel]

Oh, right, I'm Jacoby

Jacoby lets out a bardic cheer as the demon falls, and summons an eldritch blast against the last rat (Standard: Eldritch Blast: +6 vs Reflex, 1d10+5), and brings healing unto hissoner (Minor: Majestic Word: Jacoby +11HP)

23 vs Reflex
9 Dmg

+11HP

[Greebo]

That did it. :)

Duma's attack was leaving the rat with 1 hp. I was waiting to see if Jacoby would finish it or if the rat would regen and run.

I need saves from Shere and Urvi - standard saving throws.

Shere will use a surge (8+4 HP) as we rest after the battle.

[Asharad]

Is there anything left of the demon to examine?

Shere recovers from the Filth Fever.

[Greebo]

Is there anything left of the demon to examine?

It's a steaming pile of goo smelling faintly of brimstone at this point.

The wererats are meagerly equipped - no real armor - just a cloak and a short sword in addition to their unimpressive clothing.

[attriel]

Shere will inspect the area that the demon was contained within, to determine why, if possible, it was there. Was this something the Hobgoblins brought? The initial builders?

And how did the rats factor?

[Greebo]

You're able to see faint runes drawn between the four pillars. What that means, however, is more of an arcana question.

[attriel]

Shere motions the others to look at the runes, while racking his own memory for anything ...

Do they look like the rune-bound floor back where we spent the first night after rescuing Andronsius? Were there any runes in the magic buzzing wall-picture-thing room?

WHAT DO THEY MEAN??? I JUST DON'T KNOW!!!

[Greebo]

No, No, and you are right - you don't know.

[Sagar]

Raj will look at the runes to see if he recognizes them. He expects they would be something to contain the demon. (Arcana +7)

Raj will also try to detect magic objects in the area.

16 for runes
15 for magic objects

[Asharad]

Arcana powers go!

[Greebo]

Thats exactly what the runes are - they make up a containment field for the demon. When the proper words are said, the demon is released to attack intruders for one hour, before he has to return to his cage.

[Kiir]

Save for Urvi

[Greebo]

Ok we're back! :D

Urvi has also resisted Filth Fever. Raj is the only one still affected.

So - I think I answered your arcana questions. Now what?

I'd love to move this along to get out of this crawl soon. ;)

[attriel]

We go NORTH!!! Follow the corridor the rats came out of

[Greebo]

It ends very quickly in a double door.

[attriel]

Listen at the door, can I hear anything with my EARS? :)

[Greebo]

These are extremely thick doors, and you have extremely thick earwax, so no, you hear nothing.

[Kiir]

Urvi will examine the door and if it doesn't look dangerous she will open it.
