@ Nikolai I believe you take the bleed at the beginning of your turn @Michael you have Bless weapon on your blades, we renewed it right? You auto confirm your crits @Anna I was hoping Michael would pop over to flank the devil. If he did any square he occupies behind it should allow both of us to gain flanking so long as we stick tight, shoulder to shoulder. Michael got his post in before me so he didn't move his icon on the map, not knowing where I was going to end up.

Michael slips into position around back of the Devil Boss and slips his swords neatly into him several times. He must have been watching the previous attacks get foiled by the dark aura, because he manages to slip just past it and strike several times! The Devil hisses in pain as he gets injured for the first time in years, and doubly so because of the good enchantment that causes extra burning and suppresses his regenerative abilities.
Sigvar isn't having it with the aura and summons his willpower to try to dispel it. (pending) You need one CL check to overcome SR and another to dispel the aura. Oddly enough, the DC for both is 27.
Trayvin casts a spell and positions himself to help Nikolai. Bearded tries to take advantage of the movement to strike him, but doesn't hit.
Anna positions herself as well and tries again to strike the devil. Your first strike may hit if Sigvar succeeds his second CL check. And yes, bleed happens on your turn, so feel free to roll your 2d6 next round - this round is 6 damage
Pru starts flinging spells around, and Bearded doesn't like it.
Nikolai bleeds a bit when he begins moving and succeeds at tripping Bearded his first try. Bleed beginning of your round, and if you want to refund a ki or use it for attacks you can. It's CMD is 22.
Pompous provides a much more effective counter attack and strikes the Erinyes multiple times.
enemy turn
Bearded tries to claw Nikolai from his position on the ground, but even without the awkward positioning, he is too dodgy to hit.
The Erinyes continues exchanging potshots and manages to hit Pompous this time. But only once. 10 damage + 5 fire
The Devil boss is hopping mad at Michael and lets him know it. Twice, the spiked chain lashes out and hits Michael, almost critically! no confirm - 22 +7 unholy and 15 + 10 unholy damage and 2 DC27 fort saves or be stunned for 4 rounds.
His bite misses, but the tail comes swinging around and slashes Michael again for 10 damage, which start bleeding profusely. 2d6 bleed on your turn, DC26 heal or CL check to heal

even hasted as he is the Devil moves fast! the combat machine in Michael head notes how the heavy chain moves like a whip, even as he tries to move out of the way, but knowing already it's too late. The blow, when it lands is terrible in it's power and suddenly Michael is left wondering what happens to you lap when you stand up and other inane things as he stuggles to deal with the horrific pain of the blows. he collapses onto the ground in a heap. bleeding like a stuck hog.

Having failed to overcome the Devil's aura, Sigvar returns to his strengths and has at it with his sword. The devil is well armored, but he manages to connect once, and that one hit is a doozy.
Michael stays on the ground where he is, slowly bleeding out, but pleased that the demon is bleeding too. And since all the damage is blessed, he can't even regen to stop it.
Pru's can still only seem to get half of the formula right on the Erinyes, so she keeps dumping damage into the Bearded devil on the ground.
Anna isn't quite in position to take advantage of flanking, so isn't able to connect this round. RAW requires drawing line center to center that goes through opposite sides of the enemy. Your line goes through adjacent sides of the square.
Pompous' latest round of arrows cut right through the furious Erinyes and she falls out of the air with a thud.
Enemy Turn
With Trayvin and Nikolai being slow to respond, the Bearded takes the opportunity to stand and attack. seconding Sigvar's post - need any assistance this week? He does provoke an AOO from both of you. His strike will go to the feisty woman that's been hitting him with magic missiles. And strike he does, critting her soundly. 21 damage and 2 bleed (dc16 heal or CL check to heal)
The boss devil turns his focus to the next largest threat in the room, whipping his chain around at Sigvar. But with his God's protection and a little luck, none of the strikes manage to land.

the pain is still with him, it's still bad, but at least a poem comes from his mind that allows him to focus on something besides the hurt.
Tommy I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer, The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here." The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die, I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I: O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away"; But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play, The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play, O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be, They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me; They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls, But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls! For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside"; But it's "Special coach for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide, The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide, O it's "Special coach for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.
Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap; An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit. Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?" But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll, The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll, O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too, But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you; An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints, Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints; While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind", But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind, There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind, O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational. Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace. For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!" But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!
He can't remember where he heard it before, but it is a catchy little poem about the life of a soldier.
Stun 3/4 3 points of bleed.

After Trayvin smacking it around, the devil doesnt stand a chance against a disintegrate Ray, and he is suddenly no more than dust.
Now that Sigvar finally is able to flank, he is able to tear into the demon much more effectively, and he can't stand up to that punishment. He soon falls, thanks to proper planning. Pompous throws his arrows into the boss demon for good measure, who can't defend now that he's dead. Everything goes quiet, except for the still bleeding wounds of Pru, Michael, and Anna.

3 points bleed round 4 of 4.
The pain begins to abate somewhat, or is the mental trauma of getting hit so hard? hard to tell. He feels sigvars attempt to heal him, and he feels the wounds like a malignant worm push it away. he tries to reach his hand down into his pocket to get a potion, but it's a bit beyond his ablity right now. Ah...well...this aint the first time I've been this close to death, was a good fight though, I'm proud to have served with you guys, I hope you know that my fist mates. .he thinks to himself, knowing that the wound is resistand and that he dont' have much blood left to bleed out.
it all becomes moot though when Trayvin channels. he feels the malignantcy in the wound give way to the awesome healing power of their resident cleric. After the hot fevered evil of the horned devil, the healing feels like a warm hug and a cool dip in a pool all at the same time. Clerical magic is weird that way, he tastes Key Lime pie this time, he usually does not pay the effects much attention, he's usually busy with soldiering or fighting when he gets healed. but is was always aware of tasting something when Trayvin healed. thinking back, he remembers Vanilla, Sage, Cardamon, and Kiwi, he thinks there were others, but he cannot recall them right now. The Key lime is nice though, a fitting way to endure the last few moments of his paralysis.
Heal, 17. Hp pre-healing 3 post healing 20. Good job Trayvin, just in the nick of time too.

DM Warren: The Devil's Throne Room MAP Wednesday June 12th, 2019 9:18:09 AM
Despite having a winning strategy, there is always room for improvement, right? The Agents discuss battle plans as infernal wounds are driven from their bodies. They were lucky to have had the foresight to bless their weapons, as without that, this battle would have gone a lot more against them.
They discussion doesn't last for long though before they start to experience an odd sucking sensation. They barely have time to grab the Devils' weapons before their bodies are pulled through what feels like another portal. When they come to, it appears that they're back in their own barracks, and nothing seems to have changed. Except for the chest overflowing in gold in the middle of their common room.

"We're back." It didn't need to be said, but the statement raises a number of questions. But first, to check on the Fist. Trayvin goes around to each of the Agents to check and make sure there were no persistent wounds still bleeding. The rest he could fix later. "Don't worry, a few days of rest and I'll have you all patched back up."
"As for the rest, well did the portal send us back, or did the Rakshasha not like the odds of us collecting the reward in person?"

Spells in effect: Windwall +20, Hail Storm +3, Mage Armor, Haste, Power Outage Duration (1-3 days) No Flying Cows +1 though, lots of Debris of Window Breaking 2D6, Roof Smashing Trees 10D20.
Nikolai is jubilant that his first attempt to trip an opponent worked and gave the edge they needed to swiftly fell the demon. He will need to practice more on his reaction to a tripped foe though. He was a bit slow in taking advantage of it.
Realizing they are back in their own quarters rather than the pocket world of the tiger-man thing, he does feel disappointed that their mission may not have been fulfilled to its best conclusion. Perhaps what he said instilled in the giants some sense of worth to spur them to fight back. Perhaps not.
"Well, we certainly want to make sure the chest is safe from traps and stuff that might harm whoever tries to open it. But since we went on a mission to bring back funds for the Fist, we should hand over the chest with all it's contents. Or rather, less any harmful contents. So before anyone starts counting gold, lets insure it is safe to fiddle with," Nikolai cautions.

It knew we didn't like it and probably knew that if we could drop it's opponent so easily that we would probably try to take it out too. He was an evil, calculating so and so, but smart too. No wonder the giants thought it knew everything they said and thought." " I think we should finish reviving Michael and report directly to the Commander. We were tasked with freeing the Fist from the crushing war reparations it has incurred. We should go see if we succeeded."
Prudence Gundle Wednesday June 12th, 2019 11:29:58 PM
"Yes, let's report in," Pru says. "I can check for magical traps, anyway."
She casts a Detect Magic and scans the chest.

Pompous listens to Nikolai talking about handing the chest of gold over to the officers... The ranger's eye brow raises at the mention... { Arrows aren't cheap} He thinks to himself. { And I don't see anyone else paying THOSE bills}
If it's policy that treasures won at great physical and financial cost get handed back to the Fist, maybe this isn't the right group for him to be in after all...
DM Warren: The Devil's Throne Room MAP Thursday June 13th, 2019 9:27:12 AM
After all is said and done, The Agents are professionals. A quick appraisal of the chest can easily tells that it hold thousands of coins, as well as assorted gems and jewelry.
Pru scans the chest quickly before they head out to the commander and sees a few magical auras around, but most notably is one powerful illusion spell. Still, that can wait until they check in with Commander Balance.

bonking his his head because he is an idiot, Michael begins to check the chest for traps. He puts it down to hunger and blood loss, And after we see the commander, lets get something to eat, bleeding out sure works up an appetite.
DM Warren: The Devil's Throne Room MAP Friday June 14th, 2019 11:37:05 AM
It seems that the Agents need not to have worried. Between Michael’s applied talents and Pru’s scanning, they can tell there is no danger, physical or magical. Further investigation reveals that the illusion is in the for of a programmed illusion. It seems that the Rakshasa left a message for them once they opened it. His face springs out large, and the image laughs in delight. “I had my doubts, but it seems that you’ve accomplished the task set out. Here is your payment as promised. I hope that we can work together again in such a mutually beneficial fashion.”
DM Warren: The Devil's Throne Room MAP Friday June 14th, 2019 11:37:57 AM
Most of the coinage in the chest is actually platinum, with assorted gold and gems throughout. There must be at least 100,000 gp worth of coinage, more than enough to pay down much of the Fist’s debt, with enough leftover for nice bonuses for the Agents. And of course, this doesn’t count the jewelry and assorted treasures found on the rest of their fallen foes throughout their recent adventures.

Maybe one of us needs to go get the commander and bring her down here so she can decide what she wants done with it.. Heck you guys go, I'll stay here and keep an eye on it. give my regards to the commander and explain why I could not show up . Michael then starts. He looks at the chest closely then he goes over to his bed and begins emptying his pockets and his haversack. between his bills pants o plenty and his handy haversack they aught to be able to fit the whole thing minus the chest. He starts shovelling the loot into his pockets. even if it won't all fit, the chest should be light enough to carry easily.
Why didn't I think of this in the first place? this will freak her out when I start empying my pockets. There is mirtful gleam in his eye, which kind of offsets the dark circles and pale skin.

Seeing as no one knew when to expect you back, no one is actually waiting on you now. Michael has time to play in a heap of gold and platinum while pompous makes himself look and smell nice. The others can do so as well if they like.
Once ready, it is not difficult to summon the page on duty to run off and let the commander know they're ready to report. They make their way to the office and present themselves. As brusque as every, Commander Palance has little time for niceties, and after a quick greeting, requests a report of their recent activities.

The Commander Tuesday June 18th, 2019 6:17:48 PM
The commander stands up behind the desk as the Agents start their report. She looks gruff, crosses her arms and frowns as the story continues and Michael unceremoniously dumps the treasure and gold on her desk. She watches as some of the coin slides and falls off to the ground as Michael tries to grab it. She looks over each of the Agents and looks at the papers the Pru presents. When the presentation is complete, she stands there, silently watching everyone. A moment passes, then another in complete silence.
Finally she can take it no more and breaks out into a smile. She reaches out and picks up a handful of gold saying, "Oh, you did more than alright! This is really amazing. This is going to help us out quite a bit. While we're not really struggling like we were in the old days, this can give us a lot of support to expand and do more missions that are really for the good of the people instead of just for the money."
She continues to nod and smile as she calls out for her assistant. When he arrives, she says, "Come now, help clean up this mess of gold. Log it all in and account for it with the treasury." She looks back over at Nikolai and the rest of the group and continues, "And let's schedule a great dinner with the whole town!"
Prudence Gundle Tuesday June 18th, 2019 9:31:46 PM
Pru can't keep the smile off her face. "Thank you, ma'am," she says. "We did our best."

Nikolai suppresses a chuckle as coins go rolling about and Michael tries to catch them. Maybe Nikolai's Fist brings in the most but all Fist are contributing and the Mailed Fist isn't quite as large as before and with much less buildings to maintain. That they are getting past the point of nearly going broke pleases Alexi.
'Perhaps we'll get some time off where we can go visit that area and see if they are still around. It has been a while,' he muses.
"A large banquet for the whole town would be splendid," Nikolai exclaims with a large smile.

still a little bummed about the memory of the griffons, Michael retires to the baths and gets clened up.

There is excitement all around, and several hope that they'll have some time off to see about their potential flying mounts. Who knows, they could always ask Palance for the time. They've certainly earned the right to choose at least one mission, so long as there's nothing critical coming up. Though knowing her, she'll want to have some sort of plan for care, stabling, feeding, and a benefit to cost analysis to justify the expense.

still a little bummed about the memory of the griffons, Michael retires to the baths and gets clened up. He gets his dress leathers out and lays them out to put on when the time comes. then he calls a page to his room and gives him instructions to wake him 15 minutes before the dinner so that he can get dressed and presentable. he then sets up his intrusion alarms, sets the dummy up on his bed grabs his extra pillow and blanket crawls under the bed to sleep. (Michael has a bed set up under his bed to sleep on.).

"I've been thinking about those griffins," Pru says. "They probably eat a lot, and they couldn't be stabled with the Fist's other mounts. But what if we trained the griffins and, I don't know, like, traveled with them? We could ly from town to town and show off the griffins and let people know that we're the Mailed Fist and we're the good guys and don't you wanna hire us to do stuff? It could be like advertising or something."
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Saturday June 22nd, 2019 4:46:36 PM "That's a good idea, Pru, even if it isn't us that do it. Feeding them wouldn't be such a problem if we hired local animal herders to raise cattle for that specific purpose. A couple of cattle herds of decent size, that eat grass, could supply enough beef for them I'm thinking. It would help the local economy AND look pretty nifty."
OOC DM, I know it's not in our place to suggest modules for ourselves, but this one would be a real good one. It would tie off a loose end, give our griffon lovers a sense of pride, and all the DM would have to do is fill in the details as to how and why we get them to join the Mailed Fist as trained mounts rather than wild animals scrounging for a living. Just putting the idea out there.

"Well, I'm not sure if I would want to fly a griffon personally, but I think a small division of griffon riders for the Mailed Fist is an awesome idea. Maybe we could look for a place to stable them that isn't right in town?"
Pompous Devilbane AC 26 CMD 27/22/17, HP 107/107 Sunday June 23rd, 2019 8:06:47 AM

if they are having this converstion at the dinner, then Michael joins in. othewise he is getting a nap before the dinner. Gryphons weigh in at about 5 or 600 pounds. females are larger than males. they eat about 1/2 their body weight per day. so that 250 to 300 pounds of flesh, per anilmal, per day. 6 or 7 Gryphons are going to consume between 1250 and 2100 pounds of meat per day. they perfer horse flesh. we are looking at 2 medium weight steers at the hight end and 1 large steer at the low end. 30 to 60 anilmals per month. they are omnivores so we can suppliment their diet with fruits and grain to a small amount, but they mainly need meat. What do we get from that? They are intelligent you know, they mate for life, and the mate of a slain gryphon will spend years looking for the killer and the rest of its life alone. They aren't simple animals. the have a will of their own. so using them for transport isn't just "saddle up and lets ride" you either have to convince them or they have to respect you enough to obey. but to fly to our destination! to have a mount that can aid in combat and not just stand there and die when things get rough...like daisy did. they also can carry a lot, up to 900 pounds in a heavy load. for us, they offer us increased mobilty, increased intelligence collection and combat multiplicaion. if we can eventually set them up as airborn calvary for wolf compay, they would create a flanking force for set piece warfare that can't be beat, plus all the other benefits from earlier. They like to nest in high places. so we either need and airye (does this area have mountains? ) or build a tower that we can keep them in. keeping them here brings up a potiental problem. the first time one goes after the commanders horse we will all dance a jig in traitors square or worse, prepetual KP duty.
I've heard that they understand common, but they can't talk. some form of magic item that allows telepathic communication would be a big help and I've heard that training a willing gryphon is just a matter of you and it getting used to flying together. It's just all theory and writings right now, we will have to see how they do when we get them back here. Oh yeah! almost forgot. a mated pair with pups is probably the most aggressive thing in the world in protecting their brood, but single gryphons are a lot more tolerant of folks. if we bring a mated pair with pups home, not only will that be a story for the "last assignment" but It will also present a logistical problem. we have the men to guard the aire and keep theives and idiots away, but if the pair attack the guards...KP duty...I just know it. We'll have to have special saddles made fo them as well. thats an expence...Those are all the problems I can think of at the moment, but they are all solvable nonetheless. I still think that they are a excellent investment and will bring prestige to the Mailed Fist as well as some heartache and sorrow, but that's life I think that if we get them to join and be our mounts, they aren't just flying horses..they will be part of the team.

Prior to the party Anna visits the catacombs.
She also arranges to take tier 4 training in order to learn the precision strike team work feat, once she has that mastered when flanking with another precision striker both assailants deal +1d6 points of precision damage
Anna says, "I empathized with the griffons last time I met them. Over the course of our recent adventures I've improved my ability to empathize...also I can turn into a griffon now so do you guys think it would help for me to turn into one and approach them?"

fly spells, reverse enlarge, there are a lot of options to get you flying. Sigvar. I think a Huge sized gryphon for you would be awesome.
DM Warren: The Feast Monday June 24th, 2019 9:55:47 AM
Detail oriented as ever, Michael is ready to dive deep into how the benefits of aerial mounts would outweigh the costs. There are still some issues to work out, but it looks like there's a case for it.
But there's time enough for that later. For now, there is a celebration to be had. It's not often that jobs come off as lucrative as this. Maybe the payout is proportionate to the strangeness of the job. After flying lessons and combat tactics, they make their way down to the banquet.
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 33 (T 12, FF 31) CMD 31 HP 124/132 Character Sheet Monday June 24th, 2019 12:27:23 PM
At the table, with just the Agents present, Sigvar raises a concern. " So you know how we arrived back here all of a sudden, right? Do we still have that paper thing that we read to get teleported to the tiger guy's place? I'm assuming we do, and that is how HE teleported us back. What is to stop him from just randomly teleporting us whenever he wants? Worse, what is to stop him from coming HERE whenever he wants? We need to be vigilant. We can take him, I think, but not if he shows up while we are in our racks or otherwise distracted by training or something like a banquet in our honor." He pats the sword at his side, even at the banquet and points to his shield, stashed under the table. " Let's be ready, just in case is all I'm sayin'."

Michael takes a pull of his beer Ah! Sweet nectar of the gods how I missed you! and pauses to consider Sivars opinion. Thats a new way of looking at it Ironhorn, I thought that the tiger thing 'ported the chest to us, and the scroll brought us back b'cause the terms of the reqest were furfilled. The tiger thing didn't know about the Wold or Yerth or anything to do with where we came from. so how would it know to send us back here? Also the fact that he sent to chest to us instead of making us come back and get it means that he knew we had plans for him and was concerned that we might be able to pull them off.
Eternal vigilance is good for rousing the troops and all, but you know as well as I that you can't stay frosty 24/7/365. Thats why we have a watch rotation. still, if I was going to hit us and had up to the minute intel of our iteniary, then I'd hit us either at the dinner or at about 3 AM, when we are all passed out drunk. Michael toasts his big bull friend and takes another pull from his nut brown ale, then smiles up at him, with foam on his lip.
Prudence Gundle Monday June 24th, 2019 11:15:35 PM
"And, he didn't seem all that...I don't know...ambitious," Pru says. "Like he was content to stay there in his little kingdom with his treasure as long as people didn't bother him."
But there are more interesting questions before her now--like what to wear to this great feast. She picks out her best dress and carefully presses it. She examines it for damage, repairing any that she finds. Upon consideration, she leaves her hair unbraided, the coppery mass falling almost to her knees. She holds it in place with her Headband of Alluring Charisma, and yes, that's on purpose.
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- HP 85/114(0 temp hp) -- 29/19/25 CMD : 30 Monday June 24th, 2019 11:59:26 PM
Anna says to Michael, "As long as I get an hour of natural sunlight a day I can be eternally vigilant. That is the main advantage of becomming a plantkin. I can be an eternal sentinel standing guard in case something would come when we least expect it. I routinely turn my darkvision on and use spider climb or Queen's Minions to patrol at night depending on the circumstance."
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Tuesday June 25th, 2019 12:19:24 AM "Well, it is all good points. I don't know how it works. On the other hand, we haven't opened up the scroll to see if there is any magic left in it either. So, who has the scroll? You can open it and just see it there is still any writing left without actually reading it."
Nikolai pulls out his dress uniform with all its ribbons and awards and makes sure it is clean and properly pressed. Unfortunately there is no time for some dance lessons. He'd have to do try to remember the steps and do the best he could.
Pompous Devilbane AC 26 CMD 27/22/17, HP 107/107 Tuesday June 25th, 2019 6:23:40 AM
Pompous finishes trimming his beard and eye brows and then dons his dress uniform over his shiny chain mail. He belts his short sword but wonders if he needs to bring his bow. It is a party after all, but parties at times turn unto something less pleasant.
DM Warren: The Feast Tuesday June 25th, 2019 10:43:11 AM
From what they remember of the scroll, the magic was somewhat tuned to what the user needed. The desert Giants needed to go home, and the Agents needed to get home too. When they unroll it, they do in fact find that the magic is not totally gone, but much weaker. It seems to just be a plain old scroll of the teleport spell now.
Everyone turns out their finest looks, and they cause quite a stir among the troops. Everyone has heard of their exploits, and even having known you, your latest triumph is greater than ever, and a great cheer and toast of ale greets them as they enter. There is quite a hubbub as green recruits and veterans alike crowd around, asking for the story of their latest adventure.

I grab onto his harnes and slip down his back to avoid the blast. Sigs okay, his armor is so thick it just raised it's temp a few degrees. we get up to the devil turns our theres an eryens and a bearded devil there too...they intersept Nikolai, Pru and Pompous, so Sigvar, Anna and me all get up to the big devil, turns out he has a protection from good spell around him. so I flip of Sigvar to the left and sigvar goes right and we enfliade him. I tell you boys, it was beautiful, I did the two sword boogie on him and even found the holes in his magical protection. I hit some big veins and a few extradimensonal organs too. I hurt him bad. He knew it too. He turned around and hit me with these two evil chains he had. he was so fast I could not dodge it. Knocked the sense out of me it did, I spent the rest of the battle wondering how a barrle holds water with a hole in it, next thing I know, I get my senses back and I'm here at the Citidel. Michael regales the troops with his account of the actions of the last few days. He notices a little halfling in mages robes, the unit patches of Eagle company on her sleeves, she's an officer 1st leutenant. looks like. probably fresh out of the OTC course they run here at the Citadel. She's looking at Michael like he's Wardd incarnate and a large bar of choclate at the same time. once the next round of drinks arrive and the ribald songs start Michael slips away unnoticed and introduces himself to the mage. she's cute. about 3'2" probably 31 32 pounds. blonde hair, blue eyes, heart shaped face, he suggests that they ditch this place and find some place private, and to his surpirse she agrees! looks like he didn't get to get drunk after all.
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- HP 85/114(0 temp hp) -- 29/19/25 CMD : 30 Tuesday June 25th, 2019 10:52:42 PM
Anna pretty much just headed down to the party in her natural green skin tone and mithril full plate. Why did she make it shine if she wasn't planning to wear it to the party. Plus mithril plate is expensive so it qualified as finery.
She mingles among the crowd, exchanging pleasantries. She isn't really one for tooting her own horn, also she didn't really feel like she has much to toot considering she got burnt as a tendriculous, whomped on by giants as a chimera-manticore and none of her attacks found purchase against the devil.
She does find some green recruits and says, "Listen up! While we were on our mission we came across a devil. This was a powerful devil and was resistant to any weapon damage not done by a silver good aligned weapon. Luckily for Nikoli's Fist we happened to have silver weapons, silver sheen and scrolls of bless weapon on hand to counter the devil's abilities. Had we not had the correct tool for the job it is quite possible that the battle could have went quite different and we could have lost Wittman or been routed ourselves. Take the time to learn about the weaknesses of your enemies and plan ahead accordingly or you may regret it."
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Tuesday June 25th, 2019 10:58:16 PM
Nikolai mostly listens to the others tell their stories and watches Pru. Then he's distracted by a few new recruits wearing the Mailed Fist Monk belts and he tells them about the benefits of being very versatile in battle. He explains that many times a foe can be defeated by clever maneuvers. Monks may not do the dramatic damage that fighters, rogues, or wizards can do, but they can do some very interesting things. "You see, I knew I couldn't do much against the giantess so instead of trying to draw blood, I grappled her and entangled her legs enough to slow her down. Then we were able to capture her. She had no option but to listen to us and thus we made an ally."
Then he explains how one of the devils was very hard to hit, so instead of striking to draw blood, he tripped him. On the ground, the devil had a hard time against them and by the time he managed to get up again, they put him down for good. He proceeded then to show the deft maneuver that tripped the devil up.
When the demonstration was over and the novices moved on, he looked around again, 'Now where is she, where'd she go?'
Prudence Gundle Tuesday June 25th, 2019 10:59:38 PM
"...and then I cast anotherWall of Ice sort of adjacent to that one, and blocked off all the archers. I thought I was soooooo clever. But, of course, we couldn't see them any more than they could see us! They moved, and we didn't know where! And meanwhile, it was so hot the ice walls were actually melting and making big messy puddles on the ground, so we gave the whole thing up as a bad job and started again." Pru smiles. "And that's the story of how I outwitted myself! And what does a girl have to do to get a drink around here?"

Sigvar stays in the back, quietly drinking and watching the others take the limelight in. He didn't need all that. He had a great group of faithful soldiers by his side whenever he was in the field and he was happy for that. He watched Prudence, radiant with the glow of youth and magical power, and extreme good looks. She had every man at the banquet, soldier and spellslinger and civilian alike spellbound. Michael and Pompous were the same with the ladies. Sigvar's charisma was more of an air of confidence, and he radiated that calm assurance even more with his new headband on. Combat was easy. How to move, where to cut, what to do. Simple. This though, this was alien, and scary. They had done their job, same as any other Fist soldier. It had been a good job, lucrative even, but just a job.
Prudence Gundle Wednesday June 26th, 2019 11:37:06 PM
Pru glances over at Pompous. "He's right," she says, moving to join that group. "He took out a bunch of those demons. We'd have been in a bad spot if it wasn't for him."

Anna wanders over to where Pru is and says, "True, but I'd say we work best as a team. Nikolai tripped that demon strategically, Michael really hit that other demon where it hurt, Trayvin kept us from dying, Pompous shot things full of arrows, Sigvar was the anvil to Michael's hammer, you hasted all of of us and used your magic to great effect and I tricked a bunch of scrolls of bless weapon into thinking I was qualified to activate them."

Michael and his new friend stroll the ramparts of the Citadel, talking of their lives, the fist, and whatever else comes to mind. before he knows it her hand is holding his, then her lips are pressed against his. it all becomes a blur after that.
when he wakes up in the morning he is instantly awake, his eyes open and he sees the rope suspension of his "bed" above him, he looks down to find blonde hair spread across his chest and the cutest little snore coming from his bed companion. He smiles. it's good to be back. He feels stronger now. his ordeal has toughened him like annealed steel.
DM Warren: The Feast Thursday June 27th, 2019 8:45:58 PM

Nikolai enjoys the festivities but manages to avoid any dancing. He couldn't manage to single out Pru from a crowd of admirers to do so. All in all though, it was a good night. Despite the horrors of war and what it leaves behind, despite knowing a clan of giantess are enslaved, you take these moments one at a time and enjoy them while they last, because soon, and always soon, some other dire peril will show up.
OOC: we need a loot list: the demons and the giantesses to add to our 20K before I can decide what to get.

Michael gets up and gets dressed. he takes his new friend down and has breakfast with her, he is solisitous to her needs and tries his best to make sure she does not have to do the "walk of shame" After breakfast, his morning routine calls and he excuses himself from her company letting the question of futrure liasions hang in the air in her part of the court. He then goes for a morning run with one of the training cadres, a PT routine with one of the platoons and then some weapon training at the combat school. he then takes his lunch at the library where he looks up what the Citadel has on Devils and such. He writes what he finds out in his journal. Taking 20 on the roll gives me a 24 for research. He bugs the librarian as well so she can do an Aid another roll if you wish.

Pru wakes up in a tangle of hair and remembers why she usually braids the stuff. With a little sigh, she finds her comb and starts untangling.
When her hair is more or less tangle free, she quickly braids it, tying the end with a bit of thread. Then she heads for the mess, hoping she hasn't missed breakfast.

Pompous looks at himself in the mirror. The shinny new set of gold and silver celestial armor looks perfect on his human frame. Bundles of new arrows lay on his bed next to the rest of the gear. Pompous still has a number of details to work through before he can join the rest of the group but having this new gear is a step in the right direction.
ooc> Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!
DM Warren: The Feast Monday July 1st, 2019 10:44:30 AM
Nikolai has a generally nice time, but if he can't dance with Pru, he won't dance at all. Instead, he assesses the treasure from his bags, finding 15 +1 large longbows (plus 1 broken) from the slain giantesses, plus their assorted jewelry. Chains and rings of pearls, worth about 16,000, plus the manacles from the gorillas.
Anna takes the small amount of rest and nourishment she needs, then experiments with the new blessings she's been granted. (How circumspect is she being?)
DM Warren: The Feast Monday July 1st, 2019 10:49:36 AM
Michael takes his new friend to breakfast, if she wishes. She wouldn't want him to think she likes him too much yet. He finds pretty much anything he'd like to know at the library. If he doesn't mind bothering the staff, they can direct him to exactly what he's looking for.
Pru rolls out of bed, suffering the effects of her hair looking so good the night before. It was quite the effect, twirling about her on the dance floor.
Pompous gets used to his new armor, seeing how it moves as he draws his now. There are few finer figured than the one he cuts this morning.
Everyone has few moments of rest after breakfast and recovery though, as the page comes bounding into the mess to summon then to the Commander's office.

Pompous gears up and joins the crew.

When michale hears of Anna's silver dragon form he gets an idea. when Anna and Sigvar are together he asks Anna if she could carry Sigvar. he expains that if she could it would do for lift if they ever got the Gryphons.
he says this, and gives the Agents an update on what the Devils were while they wait to be summoned into the Commanders office.
DM Warren: A new Assignment Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 5:10:06 PM
The Commander's office is the same as you've always known it. A mess a papers piled every which way on the desk, but still implying some sense of order.
I have to congratulate you all again. I've been hearing tales of what you faced recently, and it's impressive that you survived to tell the tale at all. And I'm glad you did, because I'm not sure anyone else would be up to this task. Tell me. What do you know about liches?
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 33 (T 12, FF 31) CMD 31 HP 124/132 Character Sheet Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 5:53:46 PM " That they are horrifying abominations against Lord Gargul's dominion and should be put to death when found. Typically they are some form of arcane caster that has found a way to reanimate their corpse after death, retaining their own predeath intelligence and powers and robbing Lord Gargul his due at their end." "Why?"
Michael Wittman AC:28, T:25, FF:24 (ucdodge) HP 103/103 Me+18(13)18 F+8, R+18,W+9, CMB+16, CMD+31 d20+10=21 ; Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 6:18:13 PM Itches? I've got cream for that. it usually occurs when you mess around with poison ivy or oak. OH! you said liches! some kind of undead magician supposed to be really powerful. Yeah! you can't kill them...they have their life force stored in a sorority or something..you have to destory the sorority...wait...no...phylactery yeah, that's it Phylactery. you gotta destroy it to kill them. else it just builds them a new body. . dungoneering 21
What always got me about liches is that they are always evil. I mean what if a paladin swore himself to guard something for eternity? wouldn't lichdom be a valid option to fulfill his promise? and it seems like the removal of the "temptations of the flesh" would be a boon to becoming more devout. Michael thinks for a bit. You know, maybe not, I wonder if it's our living capacity for such things that gives us the choice of being good? maybe if you don't have those things it warps you and you become evil. you have already died, so killing folk aint that big a deal,
Prudence Gundle d20+9=17 ; Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 7:43:25 PM
"Um...some kind of undead," Pru begins cautiously, then hears Sigvar's description. "Yes. What he said."
Trayvin AC 30/15 touch Hp 99/106(BrianZ) Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 7:57:48 PM
Uh-oh. This can't be good. Sigvar sums it up pretty well, so Trayvin waits patiently for the bad news.
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 11:09:39 PM
Nikolai adds his coppers, "Well, a paladin would know that his god would keep him alive if the pledge was done by his devotion and approval of and by his god. And that's not likely so a paladin that did such a thing would loose his favor with his god and cease to be a paladin.
But, a lich needs a receptacle to house his essence. With his essence not in the body, the lich cannot truly be destroyed unless the receptacle is found and destroyed. If the undead body is destroyed, the lich's essence seeks another 'living' body to possess until it can again reform it's own body, somehow. And naturally, that receptacle is usually very well hidden and guarded. Worse, though, is that lich's usually are either former sorcerers or priests, so they are very potent spell casters and surround themselves with powerful guardians, many of the undead types as well."
Nikolai pauses to let their commander explain why her interest in liches.

Anna shares whatever she recalls while thinking about liches from an arcane angle.
"Aren't they the ones who were some kind of powerful caster that willfully decided to become undead through some kind of ritual?"

Pompous Devilbane AC 27 CMD 30, HP 117/117 d20+12=32 ; Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 7:21:46 AM
Pompous reflects to himself....he knows that liches are a very powerful aspect of the undead. Since these creatures are a specialty of his { ooc-favored enemy) he has some knowledge of what they will be facing.
knowledge Arcana - nat 20, 32
" Like the others, I know that they are evil spell casters that have joined the rank of the undead. Killing them won't be enough as they keep their life force in receptacles and will eventually rebuild themselves unless we find and destroy this. These things can cause magical fear in the bravest of creatures and their touch can paralyze. They are NOT fun to play with. "
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 34 (T 13, FF 32) CMD 33 HP 146/146 Character Sheet Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 7:31:46 AM " Ah yes, I forgot the cowards hide their soul too." Sigvar looks down at Michael and answers him. " Were a paladin to swear such an oath in their God's name then their god would see to it that they lived until the oath were fulfilled or another could take it up in their stead. As a Paladin of Gargul though I have but one life to pledge to him. When it ends, I look forward to whatever favor, or disfavor I have earned in that life."

DM Warren: A new Assignment Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 4:25:21 PM Well it seems like you've got the ground work down. That's saves some time. There's a town called Whitebridge on a river about a weeks journey in the saddle to the northeast. There's a fancy white bridge spanning the river that leads to a large castle. Both bridge and castle were magicked up by a wizard long ago. The wizard became more and more withdrawn, until one day the castle closed up altogether. That's when the problem started. Now I guess the problem has been getting worse over the years, but it's finally becoming too much to handle. A palpable evil is spreading from the castle, and it's started affecting crops, wildlife, and even the townsfolk. They've come to us for help.
Prudence Gundle Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 4:56:34 PM
"I like the idea of fighting evil," Pru says. "What is our assignment?"
Trayvin AC 30/15 touch Hp 99/106(BrianZ) Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 9:26:42 PM
"It sounds like something that suits our skills. I hope we are up to the challenge."
"What information do we have from the townsfolk?"
Michael Wittman AC:28, T:25, FF:24 (ucdodge) HP 103/103 Me+18(13)18 F+8, R+18,W+9, CMB+16, CMD+31 Thursday July 4th, 2019 12:34:04 AM from the sound of that it could be a Lich, could be a demon summoning got out of contro, .a spell went haywire a combination of any two or all three. be a good idea to see what the townfolk say. Michael thinks hard about what he has heard.
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Thursday July 4th, 2019 1:33:24 AM "Lichs could do that, Vampires too. Basically any of the very powerful undead. We'll only know once we get there and see what the folk have seen and get a 'feel' of the place."
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- HP 85/114(0 temp hp) -- 29/19/25 CMD : 30 Thursday July 4th, 2019 3:01:06 AM
Anna says, "Well let's up that this is actually a lich and not something else that wants to offer us a job to travel to its rival realm and take them out."
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 34 (T 13, FF 32) CMD 33 HP 146/146 Character Sheet Thursday July 4th, 2019 5:22:02 AM " Does the town legally have the right to send an armed group of mercenaries into the castle? I mean, do we run the risk of starting a war between whomever is in there and the town? That would be bad if we missed any speck of evil, or didn't find the item the lich's soul inhabits."
Pompous Devilbane AC 27 CMD 30, HP 117/117 Thursday July 4th, 2019 6:29:56 AM
Pompous ponders the idea of taking on a lich... and it shakes him a bit. Skeletons, zombies, no problem... but a lich!
" All righty then.. a lich... "
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 34 (T 13, FF 32) CMD 33 HP 146/146 Character Sheet Thursday July 4th, 2019 5:21:24 PM "Will we have time to prepare?An evil like this takes some time to prepare for, in order to properly defeat."
Trayvin AC 30/15 touch Hp 99/106(BrianZ) Thursday July 4th, 2019 9:00:19 PM
"Don't worry Sigvar, if this town is a week's travel away, we should have at least a little time to prepare."
Prudence Gundle Thursday July 4th, 2019 11:23:47 PM
"Perhaps there's information in the library we could look at before we go," Pru adds.
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 24 Tch 23 Ffted 20 HP 52/91 CMD 31(Grapple/Trip) Friday July 5th, 2019 12:04:27 AM "That's a good point Sigvar."
Addressing their commander, he asks "We do have a formal contract from the town, right? Or is that something we will need to formalize once we get there? We will need to verify that the evil is definitely a product inside the castle and not go on a town's suspicion. It might be coming from nearby but the town's superstition won't let them get past their suspicion and blame the castle's inhabitant."
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 34 (T 13, FF 32) CMD 33 HP 146/146 Character Sheet Friday July 5th, 2019 5:01:13 AM " The kind of preparation I am talking about is legal book work, not something to prepare on the road. As I recall, a lich does not often reside with it's phlactry, I am not sure I said that right,. With it's soul item." " Often that is hidden so that the lich has time to recover and plot if it is defeated. The work I am talking about is a work up of who owned the castle and likely became a lich. Where they grew up, studied, lived in the past, loved, hated, where they own or owned property other than this castle. We will not have much time after defeating an evil like this to make sure we have defeated it for good, so knowing before we fight makes alot of sense. Or we can kill it first and wake up dead a month later." " I vote for the long preparation myself."[/b]
DM Warren: A new Assignment Friday July 5th, 2019 7:44:43 PM You all have a reasonable amount of time to prepare. The evil, while pervasive, has not showed signs of increasing its rate of spreading. Still, it cannot be allowed to sit and fester for too long.
From what you can tell, there is no jurisdiction of the castle for the local lands. It is a wizard's tower that has slowly grown over the years, rather than being any authority.
The town has signed a contract, and while they can't pay much, barely enough to cover our expenses, they have forfeited the right to any treasures found inside. If it's truly a lich, there should be plenty of treasure lying around. And if it's not, then it'll be a short turnaround, and not too much trouble.
The villagers should have more information for you when you get there.

Trayvin AC 30/15 touch Hp 99/106(BrianZ) Friday July 5th, 2019 10:27:48 PM "Well Michael, that is something we can research. I would guess it's magic will be the biggest concern. It probably also has the usual undead stuff like negative energy."
Pompous Devilbane AC 27 CMD 30, HP 117/117 Saturday July 6th, 2019 9:32:50 AM
" Michael, I'd be more concerned about the fear aura and paralysis abilities... What do we have to combat those? "
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 34 (T 13, FF 32) CMD 33 HP 146/146 Character Sheet Saturday July 6th, 2019 7:46:01 PM " We have me for the fear and Trayvin for the paralysis. Staying near me will bolster your courage and help fight the fear, and Trayvin, as he has done to such good effect before, can negate paralysis temporarily. I believe that clerics also get spells that can combat paralysis. The spells he can throw are probably the biggest threat. As an accomplished mage the spells would be stronger than his ability to hit someone in melee."
