Monday September 3rd, 2012 4:03:10 PM

Garret continues to dive, roll, and kick through the web with amazing accuracy (Acrobatics: 37). While he kicks and tumbles, he watches for any effect or anything else going on (Perception: 32).

Due to today being a holiday in North America and an unfortunately timed stomach bug, a post will be up tomorrow.

OOC: Zeph, what I do is say in the post what I'm using, < 50 a miss, <50 a hit.
but yeah, typically we all choose 25+ or 50+ as the hit %.

Ian:
Get well, get well soon, we all whish you well...

Tuesday September 4th, 2012 1:41:26 PM

Garret pauses a moment to look around. He notices a small rock on the ground that is very round. He bends over and picks up the rock. He looks at it closely, then drops it into the pouch at his belt, perhaps for later use.

If Keela does get a chance to counterspell, her Spellcraft is 25 to identify the spell. Her Concentration check is 18, which probably will not allow her to cast.

Friends, I just wanted to pop in to mention that the PTB are aware of how you guys are all doing, and we are 100 percent supportive of you all and your DMs. DM Ian is now coming on to complete this fight -- please help him out and give him the benefit of the doubt as he works hard to adjudicate stuff he is inheriting from DM Zach.

We PTB are convinced that the best games are those where every player responds to a daily DM post - even a "check-in" post is better than no post! We want to encourage and support you Uncharted Heroes as you all improve your posting and work toward getting to this board every day. Please feel free to send me any comments or questions at cayzle@cayzle.com.

Real life happens to everybody, and I know your DMs Zach and Ian are doing their best to get the job done well. Thanks!

Wednesday September 5th, 2012 11:49:19 AM

Garret looks for a larger rock outcropping near the edge of the web and he takes a seat, crossing his legs. He calls out, "Hey, anyone have the latest chainmail monthly?"

Keela [AC 19; HP 49/56; Haste] 
Wednesday September 5th, 2012 12:23:28 PM

Keela reclines on the tentacles. "No," she tells Garret, "but there's a really interesting article about material components in the current Arcane Quarterly."

Alexi AC 26 Tch 14 Ffted 22 HP 102/102 CMD 28 
Wednesday September 5th, 2012 7:47:02 PM

Alexi quips back, "This centerfold is wearing some chainmail, and when I say Some, that's exactly what I mean. You wanna study it for its workmanship?"

Anrete [HP: 83/83, AC 24/15/20, CMD 27] [HASTED] 
Wednesday September 5th, 2012 8:55:32 PM

Anrete sulks at his dark corner, waiting for something to poke with his pointy stick.

Revenge -- DM Zach 
Wednesday September 5th, 2012 9:28:27 PM

Alexi gashes "big red" with his last attack, doing a good bit of damage.

This gives along with the darkness gives Zeph the perfect opportunity to slide his blade into the demons chest. Black blood can be heard sizzling on Zeph's blade as he pulls it from the creatures sternum yet somehow the demon is still on its feet.

Anrete gets a chance an AoO on one of the smaller demons as it moves.

Garrett knocks the webs down and all of the gems crash to the ground. The clang all over the stone floor.

Keela gets a choice on which of the two small demons she wants to try and counterspell.

Both the first and second demons cast spells that will affect Zeph, Anrete, Alexi, and Garret. Will Save 21 for both spells or be Paralyzed. Both spells are Mass Hold Person

The big demon gargles and steps back from both Zeph and Alexi. He is obviously close to death. He calls out to Zeph. "Enjoy fighting her." As he does Zeph sees the image of his mother appear before... but she is change, she has demonic features, fangs, blood red eyes, and long claws. She whispers to Zeph, "I'm coming for you son." Zeph make a Will Save DC 21 to Highlight to display spoiler: {This is not your mother, it is a Phantasmal Killer} If you fail the Will Save, make a Fortitude Will Save: DC 21 or your mothers touch kills you.

Davdok feel free to make two actions this round.



Keela [AC 19; HP 49/56; Haste]  d20+13=24 ;
Thursday September 6th, 2012 12:23:04 AM

[Keela's Concentration check DC to cast a spell is 10+grappler's CMB+spell level. Based on the DM post, the tentacles have a CMB of 16. Therefore Keela's Concentration check DC is 26+spell level. Keela rolled an 18. She did not successfully cast her Dispel Magic. Therefore, the spell was not countered, and the Dispel Magic was lost.]

"Well, that didn't work," she mutters. There's very little she can do, but she feels as if she should be doing something, so she tries to cast Magic Missile at one of the smaller demons. That spell, too, fizzles.

Thursday September 6th, 2012 12:30:12 PM

Garret feels the wave of magic pass over him from the demons, but he shrugs them off (will saves: 26, 35) and looks around to see to the others. When he realizes how much Keela is struggling, he runs over to attempt to help free her from the tentacles. He moves to the edge of the tentacles and jumps high over the tentacles (Acrobatics: 35) to land next to Keela. He reaches out and tries to pull the tentacles away from Keela.

OOC:
I don't know what to roll to help Keela. Aid another? 13. Str? 9 CMD? 24.

DM: Zach I know it is probably not in the rules, but if you want to "pick her up" and pull her out of the tentacles, I'll let you spend this round and the next one to do so. No need for rolls, as I know the tentacles have no chance of grabbing you.

Saves:
1) Will +5 DC21 = 21!
2) Will +5 DC 21 = 12 :(

Spells in effect:
Bull Str: +4 STR
Haste: +1 att, +1 dodge to AC, +1 Ref Saves, Move +30, +1 extra Att with Full Round Att.

And:
Cavalier Order of the Dragon Challenge:
All allies receive a +1 circumstance bonus on melee attacks on target of Challenge whenever the Cavalier threatens the target.
The cavalier's melee attacks deal extra damage whenever the attacks are made against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the cavalier's level.


Alexi feels himself stiffen but wills himself to ignore it, then focuses on the retreating red demon and realizes his mistake of not taking the second demon into account when his whole body fails to obey his desire to finish off the Red Menace!

Through the mental Link he warns Keela, Garret, Zeph, and Sjurd, the others with the Al Mathir Link, "I'm stuck! I can't move! Finish off the biggy before he can Gate away or bring others in!"


Anrete [HP: 83/83, AC 24/15/20, CMD 27] [HASTED]  d20+20=32 ; d20+13=18 ; 2d4+19=22 ; 2d6=6 ; d20+9=17 ; d20+9=20 ;
Thursday September 6th, 2012 10:09:15 PM

Bursting forth from the shadows, Anrete smashes his guisarme onto the demon to knock the demon onto the floor.

(pending results) Following on with his attack, the wiry warrior stabbed down violently at the prone creature.

Before fallen under the paralyzing spells.

OOC: Do I get to AOO the demon again if it had fallen down and hence still within my reach (before casting the hold spell??)

---------------------------------------
AOO on small demon: Trip Attack: CMB:32, Greater Trip AOO: Power Attack: 18 vs Prone (-4 AC) & Flatfooted (cuz sneak??), DMG: 22 + 6 (sneak) = 28.

Will save 17 & 20 (failed on both).

DM Zach:I stared my DM post before yours went up... I'll have to see how to resolve this as it won't really affect anyone being paralyzed, well except you since everyone else failed the second save, however it will affect the damage that Alexi takes. I'll get back after checking on that.

Revenge -- DM Zach  3d6=6 ; d20+19=35 ; d20+19=34 ; d8+6=13 ; d8+6=9 ; 2d6=12 ; 2d6=10 ; d4=1 ;
Thursday September 6th, 2012 10:27:18 PM

Keela tries to cast a spell but is ineffective. She is extremely exhausted having had her life force taken away and fighting these black tentacles for the past few moments.

Garrett comes and begins the process of freeing her. It looks like in a few more seconds he just might get her free!

Alexi shakes off the effects of the first spell but the second stops him in his tracks. He uses his link to let the others know what is going on. "I'm stuck! I can't move! Finish off the biggy before he can Gate away or bring others in!" he calls out.

Anyone affected by the Hold Person is going to be in such a state for 8 rounds. You may make a new saving throw each round. If affected by both, you must make a save for each one.

Zeph will either be dead or take 6 damage from the Demon.

Sjurd, Davdok, and Anrete all seem to be at a loss for what to do. Any of you who posts in the next 24 hours gets last rounds actions and these. If not, you will just get whatever round you post in from here on out.

-------------------

Big Red notices no one attacked him and realizes he might still survive this battle. He steps back again and casts another spell and four more demons identical to Big Red appear. They all move into a large group and it is impossible to know which is which. (Mirror Image)

The fist and second demon see Alexi freeze up and charge him, both biting him furiously. The first Deals 25 damage while the second deals 22 damage.

A Quick Note -- DM Zach 
Thursday September 6th, 2012 10:37:05 PM

As the DM of the game having the most issues all I can say is I apologize and understand how frustrated you as players are. I try to keep you guys in the loop and current with what is going on. I won't give you an excuse but I will say I am trying my darnedest given my current work situation. I have one or two times a week when I am literally up for 40-44 hours straight. During that time I do not go home but go straight from work to school and back to work with each of those lasting at least 12 hours. I sleep for 20 minutes in my car in the morning before school and often my choice comes down to putting up a DM post during lunch, eating lunch, or sleeping another 20-30 minutes in my next classes room.

I can post from my phone but that quality is often unacceptable. When I tried to switch off, Ian got sick and couldn't post. It took me the weekend to realize something was wrong. I apologize and promise I am trying to make good, Wold Quality posts. Doesn't always happen and I am sorry. You guys deserve better. I promise I'll keep trying.

-Zach R.

Friday September 7th, 2012 12:15:43 PM

Garret grabs and pulls at the writhing tentacles around Keela. Each time he removes one, another seems to appear. Finally, it seems that she is free! Garret quickly grabs her, looks around to the area free of tentacles and makes an incredible jump, carrying her free, and setting her on the ground out of range of the tentacles. He winks at her and quickly turns to head back towards the tentacles and the demons.

Going to do a retcon. I try not to do these but since it is to your guys benefit I hope you don't mind =)

Anrete smacks the first demon before it gets a chance to do anything and it falls to the ground. Therefore, the first Mass Hold Person does not go off. If you rolled two saves, disregard your first one. If you failed the first save, ignore it. Just work off of what happened on your second save. Therefore since the demon was one the ground, its turn would be used to stand up, not attack Alexi who does not take the first 25 damage.

Alright, go ahead and post using those changes to my last DM Post.

Keela [AC 19; HP 49/56; Haste] 
Friday September 7th, 2012 5:33:28 PM

Free of the tentacles (yes?) Keela teleports to a safer distance. She takes Garret with her, if he wants to come.

[Cast Dimension Door. Hard to pinpoint a location without a map, but I'd like to be clear of the in-fighting, but still close enough to lob spells.]

Alexi AC 26 Tch 14 Ffted 22 HP 80/102 CMD 28  d20+5=19 ;
Friday September 7th, 2012 7:54:31 PM

OOC: Ah, shoot! It would be the first demon, the one I made my save on, to get Anrette's boot! :(

So Alexi is still stuck.

IC: If Alexi could wince he would, but since he can't, he steels himself, so to speak, emotionally, for the hit, as he senses one of the demons aproach, and feels the pain of the wound. Whatever happend to the other he does not know. He tries to search the Link to catch the thoughts of his friends to know what's going on behind him as multiple Big Reds pop up before him. Even that he does not know since he is in the dark!

OOC: The area there still is in Darkness, right? Do the demons see in Deeper Darkness or do they also need to roll their Miss chance?

Will Save for this round: 20+5 DC21 = 19

Sjurd, Zeph, and Davdok seem to be at a loss for what to do so do... nothing.

Garrett is able to free Keela enough to allow her to dimension door him and her to a safe distance from the darkness, tentacles and demons, but still where they can lob spells. (Pick any distance or place you want... its not a problem since, afterall we have no map.)

Anrete and Alexi also do nothing but for completely diffrent reasons, what being held and all.

------------------
The demon that bit Alexi before attemps to take him out of the fight. He tries to Coup De Grace Alexi biting a huge chunk out of his throat. Take 22 Damage and make a DC 32 Fortitude Save or Die. (I rolled to it and realized a Coup De Grace doesn't require one.)

The first demon moves towards and stands over Anrete, licking his lips as if he plans to do the same thing as the second demon just did to Alexi.

Big Red decides this is his chance to escape with his life and disappears for good.

"P" is still no where to be seen.

(WIll saves = 31 and 33)

Zeph sees the image of his mother and smiles at it...
then flies right through it to the demon attacking Anrete!

Zeph stabs it in the back and slashes veraciously
(Hit AC 27 and 30 for 22slashing+32sneak attack+19holy = 64 damage!)

If that does not kill it, then Zeph will use his Quickcast rod and blasts it with a face full of Magic Missile!(15 damage)

Just as the demon approaches, Anrete grins and fades into invisibility before spinning into a whirlwind of actions - his polearm smashing from various angles.

---------------------------------
Will save 25 (passed!)
Fades into invisibility
Trip attack 1: CMB 22 (forgot to +1 from haste)

I rolled 3 d20 for my subsequent 2 attacks (1 from my 2nd attack, 1 from my haste attack, 1 for AOO if any), cuz how I act will depend on what happened.

If 1st trip works, I will power attack AOO followed with 2 more attacks.
else, I will trip again for 2nd attack, and repeat for the 3rd if it fails.

So it will work up to:

Case1:
1st Attack: Trip CMB 22 + 2(invisible)
Success
PowerAttk AOO: AB 16+13=29 + 2(invisible) vs Prone(-4 AC), Invisible (no dex)
2nd Attack: AB 13+13=26 + 2(invisible) vs Prone(-4 AC), Invisible (no dex)
3rd Attack: AB 11+8=19 + 2(invisible) vs Prone(-4 AC), Invisible (no dex)

Case2:
1st Attack: Trip CMB 22 + 2(invisible)
Failed
2nd Attack: Trip CMB 16+20=36 + 2(invisible)
Success
PowerAttk AOO: AB 13+13=26 + 2(invisible) vs Prone(-4 AC), Invisible (no dex)
3rd Attack: AB 11+8=19 + 2(invisible) vs Prone(-4 AC), Invisible (no dex)

Case3:
1st Attack: Trip CMB 22 + 2(invisible)
Failed
2nd Attack: Trip CMB 16+20=36 + 2(invisible)
Failed
3rd Trip fails cuz it is lower than 2nd one

For any of the cases, my dmg will be
1st Attack/AOO 27 +8(sneak if any) dmg
2nd Attack/AOO 27 +8(sneak if any)dmg
3rd Attack/AOO 23 +8(sneak if any) dmg

[Back at the beginning of this fight, Keela made Knowledge Planes checks to identify the demons. She got a 25 for the big guy and 26 for the little guys. Can you confirm that these rolls were not high enough to identify the demons?]

"No!" Keela shouts as the demon attacks Alexi. Using the Lesser Rod of Quicken, Keela fires a burst of Magic Missiles at the demon. She follows with a Ray of Enfeeblement.

[SR check for the Magic Missiles is 21; for the Ray is 27. The Magic Missiles do 20 damage. The Ray hits Touch AC 12, -5 to Strength, Fort save DC 17 negates.]

Garret turns as Keela uses her power to move away from the battle. Garret chooses to stay in the melee. He easily runs and dodges back through the tentacles towards the demons. He has realized that upsetting the gems seems to be having no effect, so he heads back to the other creatures. He sees the demon attack Alexi and Garret jumps through the air with a flash, spins over (Acrobatics 54), and aims a kick at the demon's head (Atk: 20).

OOC:
Was going for a stunning fist kick attack, but I'm guessing a 20 doesn't hit. On the really off chance it does (and because I like rolling dice): damage: 6 + Fort Save DC 20 or stunned 1 round.

Alexi AC 26 Tch 14 Ffted 22 HP 80/102 CMD 28 
Monday September 10th, 2012 8:43:14 PM

OOC: I've asked before but didn't get an answer.
ARE we stil in Deeper Darkness? We must be since no one dispelled it and so far DM hasn't stated the demons dropped it.

Since we ARE in Deeper Darkness:
Pathfinder - Combat - Helpless defenders:
You can deliver a coup de grace against a creature with total concealment, but doing this requires two consecutive full-round actions (one to "find" the creature once you've determined what square it's in, and one to deliver the coup de grace).

We know it is Deeper Darkness and we know that even creatures with Darkvision cannot see in Deeper Darkness.

So, once again, The Hold Person spell would NOT function, as it is a targeted spell and Alexi is in Deeper Darkness and you can't Target a person in total concealment. Mass Hold Person is no different in that respect.

So what we have is, count them, Three things we need to back up on:
1) No one should be held unless the target was Anrete, who may have been outside the Darkness
2) Alexi, not being held, should be able to move against Big Red and get an attack with %miss for concealment
3) Demon that hit Alexi must roll his 50% miss chance
4) Demon that thinks he has a Coup de Gras does not and is in for a big surprize
5) Big Red is Dead as Alexi missed several of his attacks due to Darkness, and if the demons can ignore the Darkness and not have to roll their 50% miss chance and get a Coup de Gras, then So should Alexi be able to ignore the Darkness and get all his hits that he rolled under the 50% miss on the round after the charge.

Until this is resolved, we can't continue, because you can't Coup De Gras in one round a target that is in Total Darkness. AND you can't Target the Hold spell on someone in Total Concealment.

Unless there are significant change in Pathfinders: Devils can see in true darkness. So it really depends if they are demons or devils.

I would say devils, because devils usually can cast deeper darkness.

yeah, I know that suck. Haha. I know cuz this is what I did when I was DM.

So, Garret will roll his 50% miss chance on attacking the demon that almost coup de gras-ed Alexi... and will miss, so Garret will make a huge, flying leap into darkness, only to hit nothing at all...I wonder where he will land...

Alexi AC 26 Tch 14 Ffted 22 HP 80/102 CMD 28 
Tuesday September 11th, 2012 2:14:44 PM

OOC: It would be better for Garret to pick Alexi up (no 'to hit' needed and Alexi can guide the gnome through the mental link to his exact spot) and carry Alexi out of the darkness and give him a Heal Check to keep him from 'dying' before the round is over so Alexi does not actually 'die'. Considering the way things have been, that's well withing the gnome's capabilities and withing a round's limitations.

(OK guys, so I could have sword that demons could see in the Deeper Darkness that they cast (hence why I had them cast it then stand in it. I thought their darkvision allowed them to see in it. However, upon review I see that I was wrong in that assumption. This does indeed change... quite a bit. I'm not going to go back and change three rounds worth of actions... what I will do is do a little something for this round that should get us all back on equal footing. Thank you for your patience.)

Garrett being the nimble and acrobatic hero that he is rolls in and saves both Anrete and Alexi from getting their faces munched off by the demons. He sets them down out of the darkness just as both of them regain control of their bodies. The demons howl in anger and rage.

One of the demons screams become that of pain as Zeph exits the darkness with demonic blood on his blade. "One demon down." he says nonchalantly.

To sum things up, no party members are in the darkness. One of the small demons are dead. One of the small demons is still in the darkness. The big red demon is gone or at least not visible. "P" is gone or not visible.

I know this may not be ideal, but it is better than trying to go back and wade through days worth of posts to figure out what did or did not happen. If I missed anything holler. If you rolled an attack last round and like the results and it was not used this round... you can use it now. If it was bad... lucky you, you have the option of rolling again.

[If a Knowledge Planes check of 26 was not enough to identify the smaller demons, I need you to say "Knowledge Planes 26 was not enough to identify the smaller demons." Because from where I'm sitting, it's difficult to tell if it wasn't high enough, or if you just missed it.]

[I assume I didn't use either spell I cast last round?]

Keela readies an action to shoot Magic Missiles at the first enemy that becomes visible. Her SR check is 15, and her damage is 15.

DM Zach: Sorry, I thought when you first identified them I said Keela knew them as Nabasu. Sorry if I didn't. Yes, Keela knows what they are and was able to identify them.

The mighty hands of Domi, in the form of Garret, pull Alexi into the light. This strengthens the fighter's resolve and he manages to shake off a power that had him held. He turns in time to see the bikini clad demoness carrying a No. 2, click-clacking in high heels, finish her parade and gate out.

A loud gong reverberates around the room and Alexi knows it's time to finish this off. Nothing good ever seemed to come after three rounds.

The huge dark dome looms in front hiding any target, but Alexi sees Keela and rushes to her side, ready to provide a wall of steel and shield. (Move action and Total Defense for the Standard Action).

OOC: Kathy, back when they first appeard, Zeph rolled a 28 and this was what he was able to recall from his studies:
Zeph is able to jump back away from the tentacles and is able tell they are Black Tentacles. He also realizes the demons are called Nebasu's. Nabasus are birthed directly into the Wold, where they feed on innocent souls to mature. Only when finally sated can a nabasu return to the Abyss. Rumor holds that even then the nabasu's lifecycle does not change, and that further developments await them as they continue to grow. These vile demons form from the souls of evil gluttons, particularly from cannibals, blood-drinkers, and those who prefer the tang of undead flesh. Zeph realizes that these demons, like most have thick hide that can only be fully pierced by cold iron weapons or holy aligned weapons. They are immune to electricity and resistant to most other elements. They are even resistant to many spells. They are truly formidable. The demon in the middle is different as it is not easily identifiable aside from the fact that it is some sort of Magus. Perhaps a Black Blade Magus?

You can assume he passed this on through the Link.

Davdok seems to snap to attention again, thankful nothing had taken advantage of the opening. Deciding fire wasn't all that great of an idea anymore, he decided to try his energy bombs. Eventually he'd come up with a name for them. Perhaps Davdok's Devious Demolitions? Nah, too much alliteration.

Oh, right, throwing force bombs.

OOC: Throwing force bombs at nearest enemies. First attack hit AC 26, second hit AC 19. Oddly enough, both bombs do 19 damage on each direct hit. Otherwise it's DC 19 Reflex to dodge the 13 damage from each bomb.

Garret looks around and sees the large blob of darkness. Realizing that everyone is outside the darkness, as best as he can tell, he looks back around the corner to the "office" area to see if anyone has shown up there, or if anything else is moving there (Perception 33).

Davdok, how are you locating the demon that is in the deeper darkness?

Things go quite for a few moments and remain that way except for an evil voice in everyones head that says, "We are not finished yet... I have a surprise for you all! It is not "P"'s voice, and is most likely one of the smaller demons.

Garrett looks near the office and feels like something may still be around, but can neither see nor hear anything.

Alexi moves near Keela and turtles up next to her, ready to defend her as best he can. No attack comes their way though.

Keela remembers reading about Nabasu and feels she knows quite a bit about them. (Feel free to use information off of the PRD for Nabasu.)

Alexi moves to the right side of the study opening (this should be all his hasted double move), and peers inside, ready for trouble. (he should have partial cover)

Garret stands near the entrance to the study area and moves slightly to the side when Alexi moves towards him. He shifts away and calls out to Alexi, "No one in here. It must still be in the darkness over there." He watches the darkness for movement and moves around, hoping to attract attention, yet staying far enough away from the others that a well-placed fireball won't hit anyone else. (Perception 27)

OOC: Davdok, if it has a 'splash' component, you can toss it in there. Typically you call the square you 'think' it is in and roll a To Hit. The DM calculates where it lands (the target square or nearby) and if the creature is anywhere near there it might get some splash damage.

We don't have any square coordinates so that complicates things.

Thursday September 13th, 2012 11:04:22 PM

Davdok tosses a bomb in that (roll a d4. 1 or 2 is a direct hit, 3 is splash damage, 4 is total miss.)

The rest of the party prepares attacks for when a target appears. The darkness fades away and the party sees... Nothing.

Zeph can smell P in the room still. Smells like it is near the entrance. The voice of two demons can be heard in everyones mind, taunting the group. They are obviously still around... Somewhere.

Zeph also could easily drop his wand down to Keela.

Between Zeph, Alexi, and Garrett calling out what they see, they are able to determine that "P" is somewhere near the entrance, and the two demons are still in the middle.

One of the demons appears long enough to catch a Magic Missle to the face from Keela, get tripped and gashed by Anrete and like wise skewered by Zeph.

The creature is still on its feet, but in pretty terrible shape. It casts enervation at Anrete Hit Touch AC 14 which, with haste will be... a miss.

Then "P" appears between Zeph and the entrance. He moves towards Zeph and shakes his head, "Son, it is time we ended this." Fort Save vs. DC 22 or become a duck. Will save at same DC to retain your mental stats.

The brand new demon appears near "P" and looks as if he is waiting on someone to do something before casting.

As his father appears before him, he feels his internal organs shift to duck-mode for a moment,
but then rage fills his mind and he retains his physical shape (Fort = 34) and mental facilities (will = 27)!

He sees Keela's fireball come and tumbles over it (reflex = 28+evasion)

Zeph inspects his father as his detect magic ability should allow him to notice any buffs on P and his scent ability should be able to tell if this P is an illusion or not. (Sense motive = 31)

IF this is the real P and there are buffs on him, Zeph will first use his magical ring to cast Dispel Magic in conjunction with his Quickcast Rod to make it a free action. (Dispel check = 16)

(OOC: If there are no buffs on P, please nullify this action)

Zeph says, "It is time I ended you." as his hands glow green and he begins to chant and cast

The demon takes... minimal damage from Keela's fireball.

It does however take a good bit damage from the wild Anrete who just barely connects with his attack which is the attack that brings the demon down as it lays lifeless on the ground.

Garrett sets up between "P" and the exit and is happy to see Zeph not turn into a duck.

Alexi charges the new demon but is suprised as he and Garrett are hit with a Mass Hold Person that requires a DC 21 Will Save or be held. This happens right before you hit him with the charge.
Roll you save, if you make it you hit him for full damage last round, otherwise, you are frozen.

Zeph is able to determine "P" is real, but how would he know if he has any buffs on him? Regardless, he is able to lock his father onto this plane.

I need to know what happens in regards to Alexi, Zeph, before I can proceed with the demons and "P's" actions. Also, hoping Davdok will post.

Kathy, that was my fault I just misread. Its been a very, very bad week for me this week, well, since Friday at least.

The elusive "P' is able to evade most of the damage from Keela's Fireball.

Davdok's bomb does some damage to the small demon.

The Demon squels to "P", "Master you are outnumbered, you must flee... or surrender."

The Demon prepares to attack but before it is able to Anrete smashes it to the ground.

Before he is able to do further damage to him, the demon winks out of existence. Only "P" is left on the battle field. With Zeph's Dispel Magic having stripped away some of his magic resistances, "P" for the first time looks worried. "I... I yield. Son, if you spare my life I will tell you how to free the all of the souls in these gems. I will give you the Chalice, all of my notes, and possessions. I will no longer be a threat. Just please, let your father live." The elf throws his scimitar to the ground and stands with his hands held above his head.

"My son, I am beaten. I am outnumbered, I cannot flee. My life's work is scattered across this cavern. You have bested me. Had it been anyone else I might feel differently, but it was you... and in a way I feel... proud. Proud that it was my own flesh and blood that beat me. I harbor no false thoughts of redemption. What I did... was wrong beyond all comprehension. I know that whether in this life or the next, I will pay for my crimes. That said, I do not yet feel that life is no longer worth living. So you are wrong, at least to me, my life is worth more than all of those souls. That is why I am willing to free them, only if they guarantee that I keep my life. Give my your word that my life will be spared and I will free them all. Even your mother. My son, my real name is Phezrual, and I know my word means less than nothing to you, but I swear to you, if you let me live, I will never again stand against you."

Anyone attempting a sense motive on Phezrual will sense that he is being honest.

I am afraid they will not be able to return to their bodies unless resurrection or reincarnation is attempted."

Tuesday September 25th, 2012 7:34:38 PM

Phezrual nods to both Keela and Zeph, "I shall begin right away, but I need the Chalice that is in my study as well as a few reagents from my pack that is in the study as well." Once someone has picked up the Chalice and his pack for him, or he is told to get it himself, he pulls out some black sand and a few other items. He pours them into the Chalice and cuts his hand to let a small stream of his blood flow into the Chalice. Then he begins chanting in what must be High Woldian. The Chalice flashes with bright red light and the contents now glow with a very bright red. Phezrual sets the Chalice down in the center of the room and begins drawing a very intricate hex on the ground using the contents. The hex is almost completely inverted to the one drawn where the web was earlier.

After about 45 minutes Phezrual begins placing each and every soul gem he can find into certain points on the hex. When all have been placed he pulls a chain from around his neck. Attached to it is a Soul Gem. He kisses it and places it near the center of the hex. Zeph can immediately tell it his his mother's soul gem.

Phezrual continues chanting for a few more minutes in High Woldian. He continues chanting and makes his way out of the hex. As he does all of the gems begin glowing and pulsating faster and faster until finally as Phezrual stops chanting all of the gems shatter at once. Rather than the shards striking the ground, they all turn to liquid and flow through the air, every drop of what looks to be like Woldsblood, being absorbed back into the Chalice.

Hundreds of souls can be seen and heard sighing almost as if in relief at exactly the same time. Many begin dancing around quickly, darting around the room. Others begin leaving. One, remains in the center of the room. It is Zeph's mother.

Phezrual collapses to the ground, seemingly exhausted beyond comprehension.

As the souls begin to slowly disperse you can hear them in each in turn whisper, "Thank you."

Zeph Only Highlight to display spoiler: {You are able to recall the reagents he used, the hex he drew and where he placed all of the gems. If you know High Woldian you are able to remember the ceremony in its entirety. If not, you will have to learn the words to be able to do it again.}

He watches in amazement when the spell completes and the souls are freed. He immediately spots Naggy and cries out in surprise, "Naggy! Good to see you again!" He eyeballs Phezrual as Keela suggests that he be tied up.

The spirit of Zeph's Mother continues to float near the center of the hex with Nagegy a few feet away.

Phezrual is quickly and securely bound, gagged, and blindfolded. He makes no effort to resist and is no trouble aside from someone having to help him stand. He is thoroughly spent.

Nagegy chuckles to Garrett, "I'm afraid thisss want be for long my friend. Though sssooner than I would have liked my end to come, I had a long and sssatisfying life. I entrust all of my booksss and earthly possssessionsss to you all to keep sssafe. Their are sssome tomesss that mussst be kept sssafe at all costsss. Farewell friends." The spirit begins leaving the area and soon dissipates into nothingness.

Zeph's mother smiles at him and says, "Thank you son... from all of us thank you. I am soo, soo, proud of you."

Davdok begins searching the area and finds numerous old tomes, notes and other books of various value. Of particular note are the other Journey Book and what appears to be a personal journal of Phezrual's There is also Phezrual's backpack and scimitar. Everything else seems to have been taken by the minotaur that teleported out before you guys entered.

It is made of mithral, is very keen, has a menacing quality that helps when you or your allies are flanking a foe, and has a very unique Force quality." He shows them all of his notes and is willing to explain everything. He also moves over to the wall, or what looked like the wall a pushes a particular stone which causes a small rock to more. He reaches into his pack and grabs a key that hs pushes into the small hole where the rock was moved from. When he turns it a secret compartment opens up in the stone. It is only about 1ft tall by 1ft wide and maybe a 1ft and a half deep. Inside are tons of gems... real gems. At least 25,000gp in gems.

(Blade is a +1 Keen Mithral Scimitar of Menacing Force)
Force does 1d6 Force Damage (like Flaming it is a +1)
So the weapon is a +4 Scimitar made of mithral.

Inside the backpack is a Spellbook can be found.

And so it seems that our heroes have set things right. The bad guy is is beaten, and being turned over to the authorities. Souls have been freed to make their way to the afterlife. Demons have been defeated and forced from the Wold. A powerful and evil artifact (the Chalice) has been taken out of the hands of those who would exploit it. Bryn Baraz is once again safe.

On the way home, Zeph questions Phezrual about the Chalice and the Soulgems. The answers he get a somewhat unnerving. "My son, we of the Illidian Bloodline are the Keepers of the Chalice. Our blood is literally required to activate the Chalice. It was created long ago. Our family has a... dark past to say the least. The soul gems are, however, relatively new. My counterpart was the one who developed them. Though, he can no longer utilize them without them being keyed to the power of the Chalice. He is of no consequence, he was acting on my orders, and I alone am to blame for this."

The trip back to Bryn Baraz takes the remainder of the evening and the majority of the following day. Katarina, the Dwarven Mage is actually in Bryn Baraz when the party returns. She mutters curses under her breath as she listens to the party recount the details of Phezrual's actions. She ask that you hold him a bit longer and she will return as soon as she can. She teleports out of existence and returns minutes later with two other mages, an elf, and a human. Four heavily armored Minotaur guards also appear with her. All are wearing the emblem of the Star Mages Guild. They check his bindings and ask for any items that might be used as evidence against him. Whether any evidence is turned over or not, the human casts a spell and all eight, the seven guards and the one prisoner, are gone from sight.

Once things have calmed a bit, Tara comes rushing out of her office and throws her small arms around Garrett nearly squeezing the breath from him. Fen can be seen jogging down into the mines and after a few minutes can be seen returning with a smiling Jack Youngblood. He walks up to Keela and smiles. He is dirty and grimy from working down in the mine and seems hesitant to touch Keela because of this. It's great to see you, Keela."

Any looking can find Avis in the stable.

As we are walking backto Bryn Baraz and before Phezrual is escorted to Plateau City, Zeph will ask him to help study and memorize the spells from his father's spellbook so that the knowledge is not lost (and I can scribe them more easily, spellcraft = 24, bleh)

[OOC fixing stuff: we are on horseback. In Keela's post, she thought about lamenting Avis's absence, and then decided not to because she had already lamented it several times before. That brought up the question of what Avis is, and I answered. But Avis is not with us. Avis is back in Bryn Baraz. We are on horseback.

Also, Jack is a farmer, not a miner, unless he has recently changed professions.]

Keela smiles back at Jack. She's a little surprised how much she missed him, and how glad she is to see him again. "It's good to see you, too."

Garret grabs Tara and smiles. He tells the others, "I'll see you later on. I'm taking a break from killing the bad guys." He walks off with Tara in tow, telling stories of the adventures he had while gone. He sits on a bench near the town square and talks with her.
