Rhys (Bob W) AC 19/23 vs AoO; CMD 18/20 vs Disarm or Sunder; HP 25/26 d20+8=16 ; d10=2 ; Thursday May 18th, 2023 12:01:37 PM
Rhys slips out of his concealment and moves into a flanking position if possible (OOC having trouble assign the map from overseas). With one smooth movement he draws and slashes downwards with his sword (Hit AC 16, 18 if flanking for 6hp (d10+4).
Malhynn resists the cultists spell and fires his own, just missing his compatriats.
Fingers, crossbow still on his back, makes his way back to the living room. His search for cover ends when he spots the other figure that came in the room through the open window. A figure covered in cleric robes, knives along her belt, scarves covering her mouth but there is no disguising the eyes.
Fingers Highlight to display spoiler: {She is the figure you saw fleeing the school, the one that killed the last cultist.}
Linden resists his spell, and fires an arrow at cultist 2, hitting square.
Kwarsk continues to stay put, waiting until Veldrin calls for backup (you will need one round to run and reach him.) It's there that he begins to hear spell firing from down the stairs.
Paige takes a swing at C1 but misses.
Rhys moves to flank C1 and manages to hit.
Cultist 1 swings his sickle at Rhys, but misses wide.
Cultist 2 casts Bane on the entire front of the house. Everyone except Kwarsk and Veldrin: Will DC 13 or -1 to attack rolls and fear.
The figure swallows at seeing this turn of events before winding up and throwing... a single stone. It rolls, it bounces, it rattles past Fingers, through the open door... near Paige and Malhynn. And it eventually stops making noise, long before it stops.
Everyone except Kwarsk and Veldrin are silenced. (No will save since it was cast on an object.)
C1: 13 damage, AC 18 C2: 13 damage, AC 18 Z:
-----------
Veldrin continues to walk down the stairs looking for cultists and victims.
It is not long before he finds both.
Before him, in a narrow hallway, holds six cultists, two wolves, and rust monster. Occupying two of the cultists is a young elf girl, no older than 20. She is slight of frame, covered in rags, fighting with all her might to just get the gag off.
For a long moment, nobody except the girl moves.
"Oi, you gotta help me," the girl finally gasped, her gag slipped. "Get my lawyer. With all the years he's been in prison, he's clearly an expert."
"Get her out of here," one of the cultist shouts. "Start the process. Protect the blood sacrifice."
"Hey, hey," the girl begins to shout.
As the rest move on, the two cultists and the rust monster turn to their new visitor.
"Quite a conundrum," the cultist mutters. "Do I kill you slowly... or make you watch."
Both of the cultists cast hold person on Veldrin. (Will DC 14 twice or paralyzed.)
The rust monster runs toward Veldrin, sniffing. Finally, it reaches out with an attenna, snacking on a short sword.
Veldrin (Ben) | AC16 HP22 d20+3=17 ; d20+3=6 ; Thursday May 18th, 2023 5:48:04 PM
Veldrin watches the scene play out and then tries to dash after the girl but to no avail. He's held in place by one of the cultists' spells (Will DC 14: 17 and 6). He can only watch as the sniffing monster prods his sword with an antenna.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, HP 32/32 d20=7 ; d20=6 ; Thursday May 18th, 2023 6:53:34 PM
Paige is able to resist the spell cast by the follower of Marteus (Will save 7+9=16). Once again she swings her weapon at C1 (6+7 = 13 to attack) and once again she misses.

He makes a 5-foot step and gores Z. Attack: d20+3 =

Rhys shrugs off the effect of the spell with ease and repositions behind C1 to maintain a flanking position with Paige. However, his attack is poorly timed and misses the cultist before him. (Will =18, Atk =13).
Linden Haran (Jason) -- AC 22/14/18 -- CMD 20 -- HP 32/32 d20+1=14 ; d20+7=23 ; d6=2 ; Friday May 19th, 2023 7:13:24 AM
Stepping again to avoid another spell, Linden wonders how much longer his luck and willpower will hold out. Taking careful aim, he sends another arrow point blank into the Cultist ahead of him.
In absolute silence, Malhynn momentarily feels an overwhelming sense of depression and panic flow over him, but fortunately shrugs it off. The elven mage then darts forward, grabs the small, enchanted stone from the floor, and thows it as hard as he can out the open front door!
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 24/T 13/FF 21, HP 30/30, CMD 16/20 vs. Bull Rush & Trip. Friday May 19th, 2023 12:56:28 PM
Kwarsk hears the sounds of spellcasting downstairs, perhaps a yelled command or two (?) and immediately heads downstairs, tower shield first, trusting the other five Patchers to handle any problems at the front door. He draws his dwarven waraxe on the way.
(OOC - DM Melvin - I'm not clear where the stairs end up in the area Veldrin is in - Kwarsk can double-move 40' total, and if he's able to interpose between the paralyzed Veldrin and any attackers, he'll do so.
Kwarsk has 3 AoOs from Combat Reflexes if the foes try to rush around him to create a flank, etc.)
Paige manages to resist the Bane spell. Silenced, she swings her weapon and misses.
Fingers resists Bane and fires at this new woman, and misses. She does look pretty perturbed herself, though.
Rhys resists Bane, continues to flank, and misses.
Linden manages to resist yet again, and manages to hit.
Malhynn has the presence of mind to throw away the stone, freeing everyone from being silenced. Fingers can see the woman look absolutely shocked at this.
C1 tries swinging at Paige this time. He isn't even close.
C2 turns to swing at Linden. He misses as well.
Z looks around, and it's clear that her initial plan was thwarted. Finally she settles on blasting at the minotaur before her with her searing light, hitting him for 7 damage.
C1: 13 damage, AC 18 C2: 15 damage, AC 18 Z: AC above 18
------------
Veldrin freezes in place. (Remember that you get a will save DC 14 to end it every round, but it's a full round action. This is round 1.)
Kwarsk rushes in, making it to about where Veldrin is. Not quite able to interpose himself between him and Veldrin, he can still attract the rust monter's attention.
The clerics stare at each other, before both firing darts at Kwarsk. Kwarsk stares in horror as the darts both sail well above his head, one of them going so far as to knock down a couple of boxes and scare a precariously placed cat.
The rust monster looks over this new member, and proceeds to reach out, hitting Kwarsk's weapon with his attenna. C3: C4: R:

Rhys continues his attack, but this cultist continues to vex him by simply sidestepping his blows. The elf grows more irritated with each swing! (Hit AC 11…Nat 1 ugh!!!)
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, HP 32/32 d20=8 ; Monday May 22nd, 2023 5:06:30 PM
Paige sticks her ground, flanking cultist C1 with Rhys on the other side, she swings her light mace (8+7+2 = 17) and almost connects. [/b]”Aaaaargh!”[/b] she cries out in frustration, as she misses.

Fingers swings his crossbow towards her, threateningly. (But he doesn't actually fire. He's performing a Feint (p. 201))
Bluff: 8. (She's not fooled).

Swung at by the Cultist, Linden changes tactics and drops his bow. Stepping to the right, he combines the movement with drawing his shortsword and stabs into their shoulder (25 to hit) and twists the blade loose again (dmg 6). Trying to buy some space, Linden stares intently at the Cultist "You can leave any time friend, you don't have to stay and let us carve you up. We have better things to do tonight then simply stain the floor with you."

Veldrin (Ben) | AC16 HP22 d20+5=24 ; Monday May 22nd, 2023 7:00:32 PM
Veldrin, his mind racing, watches helplessly as Kwarsk tries to help him. He feels a trickle of sweat roll down his forehead. “Stupid,” he thinks. “So stupid. What was I trying to do? Show off?” He takes a deep breath, focuses his mind, and bends all his effort towards breaking the enchantment. He feels a slackening in his mind. “It’s working!” (Will Save: 25)

(OOC DM Melvin left out what I should roll re: the rust monster touch. Pertinent parts:
The object touched takes half its maximum hp in damage and gains the broken condition—a second hit destroys the item.
An attended object, any magic object, or a metal creature can attempt a DC 15 Reflex save to negate this effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Kwarsk's waraxe is attended, and so he gets a DC 15 Reflex Save (held items use the save of the holding being) to negate the rust effect.
Kwarsk, including his Legacy Dwarven Stone Tower Shield (brief vignette post on this coming soon) and using CON bonus instead of DEX, nets a 27 on the Reflex Save and thus his waraxe is not affected.)
Kwarsk realizes this creature seems familiar.
(OOC Knowledge: Dungeoneering = 19)
Instinctually recognizing the foe from his decades growing up underground in Dwarven culture, Kwarsk quickly puts away his waraxe in his back sheath (move action), adopts a martial stance with his feet while stepping 5' (to BA10), raises his stone tower shield for protection, and then lands a Stunning (Fist) right hook to the rust monster's snout (hit AC 20 for 5 damage + DC 14 Fortitude Save or be Stunned for 1 full round.).
(OOC - Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can't take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC.
Kwarsk is level 3 (+1) and WIS 16 (+3) hence DC 14)
Kwarsk says, in normal voice, just loud enough for Veldrin to hear, "Veldrin, flank it and maybe we can kill it before the cultists can do more!"
It isn't even cultist 2's day, as Linden slices him open. He reminds the other cultist that they can leave any time.
Malhynn shifts to total defense.
Cultist 1 laughs at Linden as he steps towards his fallen comrade. "Yeah, here's the thing about cultists. We tend to be in it for the long haul."
Reaching down (Paige gets an AoO), the cultist begins to cast death knell on his former comrade. His eyes red and pulsing, blood dripping from his fingers, the cultist stares right into Linden's eyes.
"Beyond death do us part."
Zadendi remains quiet for a long, long time. Finally, she swings her dagger at Fingers, but misses.
C1: 13 damage, AC 18, +4 hp, +2 strength, +1 caster level C2: dead Z: AC above 18
------------
Veldrin frees himself from the hold person.
Kwarsk manages to avoid losing a weapon, and practices the ancient art of punching the rust monster in the nose, though the creature manages to avoid it.
Angrily, the rust monster tries to eat Kwarsk's chain shirt (another DC 15 roll for Kwarsk).
Each of the cultists cast Bane on each of you before moving forward menacingly (though the narrow hallway keeps them from flanking you.)
Veldrin and Kwarsk (Will DC 13 or -1 to attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws).
"I'll tell you what," one of the cultist speaks up. "You go back upstairs, and maybe we forget we even saw you. This is a one time chance to turn tail and retreat."
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 24/T 13/FF 21, HP 30/30, CMD 16/20 vs. Bull Rush & Trip. d20+8=17 ; d20+9=29 ; Tuesday May 23rd, 2023 4:22:44 PM
Kwarsk zigs, avoiding the Rust Monster's zag at his magical chain shirt (17) and his Dwarven training enables him to trivially shrug off the cultist's attempt at bewitching him (29; natural 20)
Kwarsk hears the cultist's words, and considers the length of time Veldrin and he can avoid almost all of their toys becoming rust monster snacks while outnumbered 3 to 2.
Kwarsk looks at Veldrin questioningly, and says, "There might be more profitable things to do aboveground than feed our gear to this rust monster, yes?"
(OOC - Kwarsk is prepared to withdraw if Veldrin withdraws, but if Veldrin stays in battle then Kwarsk won't abandon him.
IF Veldrin's next post has him swinging away at one of the foes here, then I'll post a second time with Kwarsk's attack results,
ELSE we're both back upstairs.)
Veldrin (Ben) | AC16 HP22 d20+5=13 ; Tuesday May 23rd, 2023 4:49:33 PM
"I think you might be right," Veldrin says while making a hasty withdrawal. "If nothing else, we'll have the tactical advantage should they follow us up the stairs." Veldrin runs up the stairs two at a time. "But we must return with the others, for their victim is being prepped and will soon face her death." (Will Save: 13) (OOC: I'm unsure where to move on the map, as I don't see where the stairs are. I see where they come out on the main floor, but not where they end in the basement. But I intend to put as much distance between myself and the rust monster while moving toward my companions on the main floor.)

Paige takes a swipe at the cultist as he moves, but misses the attack of opportunity (8+7+2=17). The cleric doesn’t give up easily, and takes another swing - finally connecting with the cold iron weapon (9+7+2=18, for 2+4 dmg)

Veldrin (Ben) | AC16 HP22 Thursday May 25th, 2023 11:14:07 AM
Veldrin runs from the room and toward his companions. As he does so, he sheaths his swords and makes ready his bow. "Late to the party," he thinks.

Rhys swings once again and misses (Hit AC16…please ignore d3 roll). He can only curse inwardly at his own incompetence…unless the sword has been cursed…perhaps Paige can tell if one of these cultists has corrupted his blade…surely that is it!
Linden Haran (Jason) -- AC 22/14/18 -- CMD 20 -- HP 32/32 d20+9=16 ; d6+3=9 ; Thursday May 25th, 2023 5:35:19 PM
Linden continues his attack on Cultist 2, attempting to corner him with Paige and Rhys on the other flanks, but comes up short again.
Fingers lands an AOO on his attackers and attempts a bluff without success.
Paige finishes cultist 1 off.
Veldrin draws his bow and heads out of the bedroom.
Rhys and Linden take practice swings but remains a little off. But they'll keep working on it, and upgrading equipment I'm sure.
Malhynn and Kwarsk remain where they are, and Malhynn particularly seems to have zoned out by now.
Zadendi looks over at her fallen comrades, and seems to calculate for a bit. She continues to not speak but Fingers clearly hears her think "destructive smite."
Swinging her suddenly glowing dagger, she swipes at the minotaur, and strikes true (crit confirmed) for 18 damage.
"Call it a draw?" she finally smirks and begins to run off to an open window. (Fingers gets an AOO).
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 24/T 13/FF 21, HP 30/30, CMD 16/20 vs. Bull Rush & Trip. Thursday May 25th, 2023 9:48:49 PM

When Paige drops the remaining cultist, Rhys runs to assist Fingers. He can just make it to the window before another cultist (Z) can climb out the window (double move 60’ puts Rhys adjacent to Z with weapon in hand). ”Don’t fail me now cursed blade” he grumbles.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, HP 32/32 Friday May 26th, 2023 8:30:02 AM ”Oh no you don’t!” calls Paige. Concerned that the fleeing cultist might alert others and bring reinforcements, the cleric of Domi moves to get a fix on the fleeing Z. Channeling through the holy symbol of Domi, she casts [/i]Hold Person[/i] on the cultist at the window (Will save vs 16, or become paralyzed and freeze in place, unable to take any actions. )

Veldrin runs down the hallway and toward the commotion in the southwest bedroom. He doesn't quite make it and stops near the house's entrance. He sees Linden and Mahlynn standing near the two dead cultists. "There's a basement," he shouts, "hidden in the bedroom. The cult's blood sacrifice is down there. We must hurry!"
Linden Haran (Jason) -- AC 22/14/18 -- CMD 20 -- HP 32/32 Friday May 26th, 2023 6:38:48 PM

Kwarsk continues hustling (to AC19), just now getting within sight of the battle, or what remains of it.
Fingers tries to stop her but fails. He asks Paige for a healing.
Rhys rushes out, making it next to the fleeing woman. He hopes his next strike will be true.
Paige tries to cast hold person on Zadendi, but the cultist resists.
Malhynn continues to pursue himself.
Linden heads back towards Veldrin and to what they might have found.
Back to remaining silent, Zadendi waves goodbye to everyone before casting obscuring mist around herself. While hard to see, you can hear the sounds of glass breaking as she jumps through to the outside and takes off.
"I'll keep pace with her," Malhynn volunteers. "The rest of you keep moving. Stop that ceremony."
You are out of combat rounds.

Kwarsk says, "Veldrin and I found the underside of the house and more cultists. Some of them ran away with the young woman who's to be the blood sacrifice, and we briefly fought two spellcasters... and their rust monster! Heal up. We need to swiftly head back down, ready to face them. I don't need to use metal weapons... I am a weapon! Ready to go?"
With that Kwarsk sheathes his waraxe on his back and then one-handed cracks the knuckles of his right hand and adopts a Monk (martial arts) stance, with a quirky kind of half-smile, looking to see who's going to follow him back down the stairs after healing.

Paige taps Fingers five times with her wand of healing (CLW2 3+4+6+8+6=27) restoring the minotaur’s health. ”These cultists aren’t fooling around, so neither should we!” she admonishes the rogue. ”Next time make your hits count!”

You take a moment to catch your breath. One fight is ended, but another looms close at hand.
Malhynn chases the fleeing cultist, and you have no worries for the competent mage, he can take of himself.
As if from a distance, you can hear chanting and some other....noise. It grows louder, slowly but surely, increasing in volume and tempo. The heroes have the initiative....
OOC- you have one round of actions, and then I will place you at the bottom of the stairs. You can take more time if you want to, but it is a choice :)

Veldrin puts his bow away and pulls out his swords, knowing that his blades will provide a tactical advantage in the confined spaces of the basement. "Be wary. The cultists have some sort of enchantment that will freeze you in place. They also have a nasty little pet that can destroy your armor and weapons alike."

Kwarsk says, "If we hurry, we may yet catch them! I'll lead the way!"

Listening to Veldrin, Linden pales a bit and sheaths his shortsword. Pulling a warhammer from his other belt loop, he tests swings it a few times. "I like this one less and can always club them if the head rusts off. Thanks for the warning."
Pausing with the others, Linden moves towards the stairs once it's time.

Finger's hears Veldrin's description of the "pet". Knowledge (Arcana) applies to magical beasts. Take 10: result 21.
A rust monster? Pfft. Leave it to me.
Linden, they're conjuring up some kind of demon. They've assured us that its for the most noble of reasons, but I doubt that the child they're sacrificing is convinced.
