[LPF] A visit with Father Kedric

[perrinmiller]

[sblock=OOC]

I'm waiting to post Larissa's action until at least Markas is resolved. But I'm posting a K: Planes roll to see what Larissa knows about Barbazu and Erinyes. Also, I never got an answer on the prior roll -- Does she know anything about Varrantu?

I did answer you, you know exactly what Kedric told you already about fiends since that was the general question you asked about. Essentially their DR and Spell resistance. I suppose you can add elemental resistances to Acid, Cold, and Fire as well to her knowledge. She will know nothing of Varrantu at all since Kedric did not with a Skill check of 30.[/sblock]Yoshiki missed with his attack.

Larissa knows nothing about either of those two brands of devils.

 

[mfloyd3]

At the appearance of the fiend, Larissa rises from her chair. Desperate to stop the thing's casting, she calls on her divine power.

"Lady Kamara! Lend me your blade!" At her gesture, an arc of light streaks from her hand and sails across the room, coalescing into the form of a sword before striking the demon.

[sblock=ooc]
Move: Stand up
Std: Casting Spiritual Weapon. Rolling to overcome the creature's spell resistance and force a Concentration roll.

Note that, if she is attacked next round, she still has no weapon in hand.

EDIT: She missed, and is unlikely to overcome SR if she does hit in a future round. Sigh. Worth a shot.

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric (NPC)

Ariel stands up from her chair and realizes that given what Father Kedric has said about devils' resistance to spells, she has resigned herself that this will be a long and difficult fight.

"By Her Justice, may Her blessings be upon you and guide your strikes."

Ariel Esimae

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: Sorry, I was pretty busy these past two days, and this update takes a bit of doing.

The winged woman completes her spell and two creatures appear in your midst. The her sword flashes down and opens two cuts on the old priest's arm and shoulder. She sneers at Jael, "Your interference in our plans ends this day."

Popping into existence are two more outsiders. The first thing that stands out are the massive saw-toothed glaives they are carrying. The creatures' pointed ears and moist, scaly skin mark them as outsiders. Each has a long tail, clawed hands and feet, and a snaky, disgusting beard.

The first one drops the glaive and claws at Yoshiki and Father Kedric from behind, raking them both.

The other slashes at both Markas and Larissa only managing to scrape the weapon across their armor.

Jael is pinned in, but he casts defensively to avoid the outsiders' attacks and calls out, "Helerion's Might, SMITE thee!" Divine energy busts forth to wash over the devils and the two bearded ones scream in pain and snarl in anger. They are temporarily blinded. The winged woman shrugs off the worst of the effects.

[HolyMan]

"Well I think it's best to take advantage of this!" Markas remarks as he moves between the two blinded devils. Each turns it's head and sniffs at the air knowing someone is there, but without there eyes they are helpless to take advantage of his bold move.

Drawing forth the magical blade he acquired in the jungles of Heth the warrior brings it down with all his might.

But to no avail, the creature somehow senses him at the last moment and moves just enough out of the way for the blade to glance off it's scaly hide. (missed by one - how typical)

Larissa focuses a moment, "Durbin, lend me your strength," she whispers, and for a moment is suffused with the reddish glow of hot coals. Then she steps forward, taking up a position to protect the strange Yoshiki from the demons.

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric (NPC)

With the old priest helping to even the odds a bit, Ariel moves to try and help take advantage. With her longspear resting against the wall, she leaves it be to draw her morningstar and holds it aloft with both hands as she flanks one of the wounded bearded devils.

"Her Justice will win this day! Return to the hell you sprang from!"

The spiked silver points on the head of her weapon smash into the devil's torso and it would appear to be fully effective.

Ariel Esimae

 

[perrinmiller]

Whether it was by chance, divine guidance, or the warmaiden's own knowledge; regardless Ariel has learned that her silver morningstar was effective against the alleged outsider toughness Father Kedric mentioned.

The blinded devil is wounded again, but still not quite looking bad enough to be put down easily.

GM: Yoshiki to finish the round.

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 5)

[sblock=ooc]Sorry, for some reason my thread subscription didn't fire. I only checked in to see why I hadn't heard anything in a while...[/sblock]
Hoping his new acquaintances can hold off these new beasts, Yo concentrates on the she-devil. Leaping off the table to move away from the beast (will this mess up HolyMan's flank?), he spins with a sweeping foot and then quick, glistening gab.

OOC: Swift Action: Activate Ki Strike Free Action: 5-foot step to Q1. Full Round Action: Flurry of Blows. (1st Trip, 2nd Ki Strike with Elemental Fist (Acid))

I forgot to include the Ki Strike bonus on both of the attack rolls, but it won't matter with the nat-1.

What's with these nat-1s on my attacks??

 

[perrinmiller]

The winged woman's sword flashes across the space between herself and the priest, crisscrossing his chest with two decent cuts. "Your peons are insignificant and you shall not last a moment more!"

The bearded devils slash around blindly, knowing their foes are nearby. Their claws only manage to scrape along armored bodies at best, not harm has fallen to any of you from their attacks. But the blindness that has caused them to be ineffective has already worn off.

Jael tries to cast another spell, but it fizzles and he remarks, "Oh frazzlesticks, this does not bode well at all."

OOC: Combat: Round 3
