OOC: Are we back to Manachan now? It'll be tomorrow mid-morning before I can put up a halfway proper post.

Yup. I'm still stuck with no dice roller and would like to know if Mhairi saves or not before putting a post up, so no opportunity even for leap-frogging.

The sorcerer heeds Ignatius' words and eliminates any elemental spells from his response pattern. He throws out a hand and a stream of glowing motes flows across the space between him and the daemon; as it strikes, the horse-head and its zombie cronies are completely enveloped in glittering particles.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Cast Glitterdust (-40 to Stealth Checks, DC17 Will Save or Blinded). Should get the daemon and Zombies 7 & 8.[/sblock]

Silken hair the color of spun gold; eyes the dark blue of deep ocean but shot through with silver; skin the hue of milk with just a hint of chocolate. Manachan was a sensation among his much darker Varisian clan – plainly proof that their kapenia showed true and that their line was descended from divinity.

The Aingeali clan claims descent in direct line from Irori himself, though the claim has been disputed by many. The birth of Manachan, with his very unusual coloring, has been taken as proof by his parents and others of the clan. In many ways, the young man had a charmed childhood.

However, the pressure on him to live up to his ancestor’s divine example has been tremendous, and has led to great internal conflict between the wild ways of his nationality and the discipline espoused by his perfect ancestry. In an effort to resolve this conflict, Manachan left his clan at the age of 13 to enter a small monastery devoted to Irori. He has spent the last four years there, training relentlessly and learning that the path to perfection requires, for him at least, a balance between freedom and discipline, and carefully maintained contradiction between his clan’s nature and his ancestor’s teachings. Adding to his difficulties, about a year after entering the monastery his sorcerous abilities manifested. The instinctual nature of his magic disrupted even further the strict discipline required by the teachings of the monks.

Now 17 and finished with his studies at the monastery, Manachan has found that balance and been released into the world to continue his struggles toward perfection. A confident, outgoing young man with an easy humor and tremendous ability, he has found it fairly easy thus far to make his way.

Now at loose ends and with no instruction other than to find his own way to pursue his perfection, Manachan resolved to return to Korvosa – he had met a young scholar (Edmond) there on one of his errands for the monastery and they had struck a fast friendship. He was fascinated with the life of the sprawling city and decided that learning more of it would provide him some valuable lessons for his path.

Manachan dresses in dark, smoky oranges and forest greens, typically wearing a narrow kilt like wrap from the waist down and either going bare chested or donning a simple tunic – depending on weather and social requirements of his current location. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail. Other than eyebrows his body is completely lacking secondary hair. He wears his bata strapped to his back, along with his crossbow. All of his other belongings he carries in a sack – to be dropped at a moment’s notice in case of a need to defend himself.[/sblock]

Mhairi

Mhairi was completely and utterly unprepared for a swarm of flies to come out this...thing's...mouth. She coughed and spluttered as they crawled through her nose and mouth, biting and stinging before a wash of heat and warm air dispersed them all. "What *cough* what in nine hells was THAT?!" she asks, somewhat incredulously, while wondering how on earth to fight it...

[sblock=ooc&combat blocl]
Save = 1d20+9=18 [Fail]
Heartbreaking when you're so close... :(

Effectively delaying. The demon's in a terrible spot from a sneak attack perspective, will wait until it comes forward (and to see if it's blinded!).

The zombies are destroyed by Ignatius' fireball, but the daemon ignores Manachan's glitterdust. Although now coating in the shimmering substance, it does not seem to have been blinded. It's not even clear how the thing sees, with the empty eye sockets of its horse-skull head.

[MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] Edmond up next
[/sblock]
 

Neurotic

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Edmond reaches into his belt and produces small vial. Uncorking it with his teeth, he pours the content over blood red blade which takes silvery sheen.

"Manachan, Mhairi, spread out and keep your distance, do what you can from afar. Ignatius, focus on healing me, but keep your distance too."

In celestial he says:
"This is one servant that will be returned to his master in pieces. Go in peace, daemon, the cult failed. The plague will die out here."

OOC: Total defense/Weapon expertise for max defenses...

The daemon hisses menacingly as it strides across the floor, practically batting Deathwail aside and reaching out to Edmond with a taloned hand crackling with dark energy. It gently touches him, but the effect on Edmond feels like he is being torn apart.

Daemon - harm on Edmond. Touch attack hits, Will DC 19.

Note I've enlarged the creature on the map to more accurately reflect its actual spacing.
Also, I applied total defence to Edmond for +4 AC rather than Combat Expertise (-2 attack/+2 AC at his current BAB) as the two effects don't stack. Still got a 30 to hit though!

Well, let's see how he deals with this . . . As he'd done so many times the day before, Manachan points an elegant finger at the daemon and golden arcane bolts streak across the room. Each impacts the foe with a slight sizzle.

Mhairi

Mhairi coughed and spluttered after the inspect plague had dispersed, watching the demonic creature descend on the boys and lazily reach out a hand for Ed. "Oh :):):):) this for a game... she muttered, seizing the creature's distracted moment to dart behind it.

She lunged for the armpit left exposed - one arm must always counterbalance the other. Surely even this thing can't ignore the physical laws of the world...

[sblock=ooc&combat block]
Acrobatics = 1d20+13=32 If that doesn't let me move to D5 (20' total) I don't know what will...

Attack roll 1d20+11=27 Have applied flanking bonus to that. Reduce by 2 if inappropriate. Damage = 1d6=5 + 3d6= 10 = 15. On the assumption there is a flank, and thus sneak attack bonus (5 weapon dam, 10 sneak damage if above unclear).
