Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

OOC: The first two wounds were insignificant, then, and she would have absorbed the final hit, then. My goal was simply to stop her from dying. Taking damage is a part of the job.


Oh, ok. Right, the ability is not QUITE as crazy-good as Diablo 1 Mana Shield in that its not unlimited-automatic-use. Since it was as if you were hit five times the first time, and the damage variance is small on account of them being d4 + Lots, we'll say the last one did 3/5ths of 80 , meaning 48 dmg. Thus, the other two must have done an average of 16 dmg. One of them you wouldn't be hit by anymore, so you take 16 from the first, and prevent 48 from the second at the cost of 24 pp.

Shando successfully uses the deflect the first time, So Kurin hits him again for 14dmg.

OOC: Thank you. Does anyone know of a feat that allows you to deflect missile weapons more than once per round. You know something like Greater, Maximized, Legendary Deflect Arrows of Legacy? ;) :p

Shando lays on the floor in a pool of his own blood, contnet to have taken the suffering for others.

"Interesting", Murdoch thinks to himself, looking at the newcomers.

He'll continue as planned: Murdoch, remaining about 3 ft off the ground, will shoot a vitriolic eldrich blast at him, and make it arc to any other foe that appears.

OCC: Please note that Murdoch can see invisible creatures 60' (see the unseen invocation)
Eldrich blast (ranged touch attack): +13 hit (+14 if within 30ft) (+9 base +4 dex (+1 point blank shot), Damage: 8d6 +1 + 2d6 for 2 rounds with vitriolic blast (ref save once to avoid additional damage). Can arc blast to 2 additional targets
 

Hearing fin's words he grabs Perigon's bracers and if possible puts it back on the injured Perigon's arm.

Than seeing the vampires Kaarlo activates his boots of speed and attacks the nearest vampire that I can use my flank bonus on with my +3 Rapier (+20/20/15 1d6+3 15-20/x2 (Flank damage +7d6)
 

Kaarlo gets the bracer and takes it to Peregion. When he tries to put it back on him, Kaarlo finds that he is dead. There really is no way for Kaarlo to get a sneak attack besides walking a roundabout route to

The rest attack Kurin.

Dyria takes a 5 foot step forward and attacks him repeatedly with his whip (since she didn't go next round, I will assume a refocus action)

The vampire is fast and well-armored, Dyria only manages to strike him once, and even then just barely (15dmg). It seems that magic is slowing down weapons that approach him and slightly misdirecting his precise location.

Alethia goes and CLWs Timrin with her wand. He stabilizes and wakes up, but just barely (0 Hp).

Fin casts his dispel, trying to unravel the magical fields surrounding the Kurin. He gets the sense that he has at least partially succeeded.

Murdoch throws two blasts of energy at Kurin, and he jumps and flips, trying to avoid them by going over them rather than dodging in either direction. One of them strikes him in the leg, anyway (37dmg).

The three red-clad soldiers unleash a tremendous volley of firey bolts from the rudy-wans attached to their gauntlets (apparently scorching ray, L11+), almost all of which hit. There are simply too many to dodge effectively, and his wounded leg makes jumping over them harder.

Crimson fires a green ray at the badly-wounded vampire, causing even more wounds to appear on his body and dust to fly off him. (disintegrate, save = success, dmg 20)

Aiden charges Kurin with both hands on his sword. Aiden is almost as fast as the vampire, and Kurin is very badly wounded as it is. Aiden slices Kurin's head off. Kurin starts to turn to dust and shadow, but suddenly that shadow turns into a black, swirling vortex , which sucks up all the dust. Aiden tarts to fall and drives his sword into the floor to avoid getting sucked in. The vortex finishes sucking up the dust, shrinks, and closes.
 

Aurilites start charging up the stairs, and one of Aiden's men opens his hand and points it at him. The ivory ring glows, and a wave of telekinetic force blasts thme down the stairs into a pile. The other two open fire with their fiery bolts.

Aiden shouts "The ones below are no doubt much weaker than the ones who took part in the ritual and presumedly would come face-to-face with the demon. Team 1, leave one man at the top of the stairs, and send the other two just below the floors with rooms. Team two, room to room sweep. If any Aurilites move on the stairs in mass, send onf from team two to reinforce team 1."

They do as commanded.

Aiden says "I chose this night to arrive in order to become involved in these festivities. I had some nice surprises prepared. Still do. On my way, I was informed that Kurin, whom I had been hunting,was mixed up in some sort of demon summoning here, so I figured I could stop the summoning AND get my revenge all at the same time.

I thank you for your help. As soon as Aleena comes back and we fix her up, we should go on top of the lighthouse and explain all this. Some more of my men and my family will arrive up there any minute. They will bring a device that will amplify our voices. Take a look, there is an enormous crowd out there. I guess rumors spread fast."
 


"I don't supose it would be possible to get at least one of them alive, would it?" Dyria asked, as she coiled up her whip dagger, and restored it to its traditional place at her side. "I want to dangle one over the edge until he gives me some answers."
 

Alethia finishes healing those that need it. She turns to the young noble and bows gracefully. "It is we who should thank you my lord. Without your help, more would have died this night," she told him seriously.

"The Lord Perigeron died fighting the vampire and his minions. We need to take him to a temple as fast as we can, so they can raise him. If it's possible." she added and warned the young noble.

"Though this type of vampire is new to me, I suspect that the old rules apply still. Do not count this as a complete victory until you have destroyed the coffin in which this creature rests with fire and sow the ashes of both the vampire and coffin with moly and holy water." she looked grim. "I'd also sanctify the entire area around the coffin as well as this place," she waved her hand, indicating the tower. "Such evil has a tendency to cling,"

She grinned at Dyria. "I'll be glad to help with that chore. I don't much like anything summons demons,"


You and me both, that soft voice whispered dryly in her mind. She dismissed it as an overactive imagination.
