House Millithor in COSQ: part 4

[Endur]

Initiative Round 4
The Balor’s booming voice roars in Abyssal. Non-undead who don’t speak Abyssal, still understand what he said.

“I live to fight in a chasm!”


Icho whispers to Quertus, who alone can hear him:

"Boss, I think he is getting mad."

Torellan 24(-67): fast heals 5. Torellan does a full attack, hurling daggers at the Balor, but three miss. The third dagger is a critical for 22 points of damage. (9, 5, 19, 16)
Kilcif 23: Kilcif shoots four arrows at the Balor (14 hit, 4 miss, 2 miss, 9 miss), striking once for 17 points of damage.
Quertus 20(-44): Quertus casts banishment at Badrazel (modifiers of +5/+10 for rare items). SR: 9 +14+4+5=32, spell affects Badrazel. Will save dc: 10+7+7+10= DC 34. Badrazel rolls 20 + 19=39.
Tierak 19(-72): Tierak moves backward.
Narcelia 17:waiting
Badrazel 17 (-232 hp): The Fiery Demon flies 45 feet higher in the chasm (60' above the noble level) and swings his whip against the wall, tracing the chasm wall in flames. Two AOO's from Bebiliths as he flies past, but both miss. A gate to the Abyss opens up from the flames on the wall of the chasm. The Balor speaks, "Errtu, I summon you forth to join the slaughter of the drow race."
A deep voice responds, "Badrazel, Will you pay the price to summon my aid?"
Badrazel responds, "Errtu, I will pay the price."
Errtu, a second Balor, emerges from the gate. Both Balors engage in evil laughter.
Drow PCs with ranks in Knowledge Religion recognize the name Errtu. This Balor hates Lolth and the drow race with a passion that is only exceeded by his hatred for Drizzt Do'Urden, who foiled his evil plots many times.

Dariel 15(-61): Dariel swimming.
Zieggrek 14(-103 hp): levitate up the chasm and enters the noble level and drinks a potion of flight.
Kripp 13(-15 hp): Kripp holds his Greater Dispel Magic to use it to counter-spell one of Errtu's spell-like abilities.
Fiendish huge Shark 13: Opens its mouth wide.
Bebiliths 10(-82 each): One Bebilith tries to bite Badrazel and just misses due to the unholy aura. One Bebilith bites him for no damage (DR). The other two Bebiliths cast webs over the two Balors. The Webbing that hits Badrazel bursts into flame on contact. The webbing that hits Errtu holds him fast.
Earth Elemental 9: Attacks Badrazel, misses.
Ki’Willis 8(-31): Flies up and gives a speech.
Carcelon 7: Carcelon uses prayer bead of healing to heal Kripp for 26.

 

[Uriel]

OoC:I'm not casting Fleshripper again...I'm casting Sure Critical Wounds <4D8+12> on myself. Then, I will cast Greater Dispel on the Balor as time allows.

IC

Kripp smiles at the antics of this Demon.This brute was powerful, mch fire in it. If the others could just get it to the river, He Who Dwims In Darkness had sent a suprise for the mighty Balor...

round 4 (replacing my earlier post)

Balor 17 (-197 hp): The Fiery Demon flies 45 feet higher in the chasm (60' above the noble level) and swings his whip against the wall, tracing the chasm wall in flames. Two AOO's from Bebiliths as he flies past, but both miss. A gate to the Abyss opens up from the flames on the wall of the chasm. The Balor speaks, "Errtu, I summon you forth to join the slaughter of the drow race."
A deep voice responds, "Badrazel, Will you pay the price to summon my aid?"
Badrazel responds, "Errtu, I will pay the price."
Errtu, a second Balor, emerges from the gate. Both Balors engage in evil laughter.
Drow PCs with ranks in Knowledge Religion recognize the name Errtu. This Balor hates Lolth and the drow race with a passion that is only exceeded by his hatred for Drizzt Do'Urden, who foiled his evil plots many times.

The Matron, her murderous fury consuming all reason, drinks a potion of Fly and ascends up towards the two Balors. Her voice, stronger, clearer and more commanding than ever before even as it oozes a thousand kinds of hate, calls out a prayer to Lolth. "Rise, Queen of Spiders. Rise, Lady of Chaos. Rise, destroyer of the Seldarine. The time for your silence is at an end. Your children are deserting you, and those who stay loyal are killed. You can no longer deny us your power and your aid, for without you we will perish and without us you will fade. This is the compact between deity and mortal, and that is a law not even you can break. Rise Lolth, from your slumber or seclusion. Your enemies are here and they must be destroyed. Rise Lolth! I command you and implore you. Rise, and devour me for my heresy, but take these fiends who would name themselves Gods over the Drow with me to your webs. This is you choice, Lolth. Obey me or I will abandon you. Obey me, or be forgotten!"

ooc: If that doesn't end the Silence of Lolth nothing will. And since it won't it will give Ki'Willis (who possibly may be the Matron no longer ) the perfect reason to take herself another deity. (And yes, she's mad. But she's also having a rare moment of altruism. She does this for the sake of all Drowkind. And yes, that is also mad.)

Initiative Round 5
The Balors stop their laughter in stunned silence after the Matron's speech, looking around to see if Lolth has indeed awoken. After a moment, they begin to laugh again, somewhat quieter than before.

Torellan 24(-90): fast heals 5. Torellan moves up the wall and hurls a dagger at the Balor, but misses. (2)
Kilcif 23: Kilcif shoots four arrows at the Balor (1 miss, 2 miss, 13 miss, 1 miss), but all four miss.
Quertus 20(-72): Quertus casts Enervation at Errtu: Ray, Ranged Touch attack: 20, 10 to confirm + 7 BAB + 1 Dex +1 haste -4 firing into melee =15. Balor Touch AC =16 -2 entangled=14. Quertus critical hits Errtu with Enervation for 5 levels, except for the Spell Resistance: 8 + 18=26, the spell resistance protects Errtu.
Tierak 19(-72): Tierak moves backward.
Narcelia 17:waiting
Errtu 17:

"Fools! To oppose me is your death! Feel the Power of the Abyss!"

Errtu casts FireStorm(DR26) for 76, covering his own position and affecting everything in the chasm and on the edge of the noble level. Dariel, Narcelia, and Tierak are not affected (and Badrazel and Errtu are immune to fire).
Errtu defensively casts while entangled (concentration check 48).
Kripp attempts to counter-spell the Firestorm (die roll 7) and fails.
The Web binding Errtu is destroyed.
Torellan 13+; 38-10=-28 gaseous form.
Kilcif 17+; evades, takes 0
Quertus 18+; 38-10=-28
Zieggrek 15+; 38-10=-28
Kripp 5+; 76-10=-66, fort save 13+
Bebiliths 9,13,18,5; 3 Bebiliths fry and die, falling down into the river. The fourth is at -120

Carcelon 7(-66):

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia looks and listens to the Matron in something akin to awe. Lolth be with us! she prays almost involuntarily.

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron will probably (I'll confirm when I know what's happened before her initiative) cast Wail of the Banshee, if she's close enough to affect the Balors. She moves so that she'll avoid hitting as many allies as possible with the spell.

 

[Xael]

Round 5: Quertus watches Matron as this flies up and speaks. His first thought is that Matron has gone completely insane, but after hearing the speech, Quertus just mumbles a silent prayer to Lloth.

Quertus casts Enervation at Errtu.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Zieggrek will drink a both his potions of Cure Serious Wounds on his way to the Balors. (After drinking the potion of fly, which should take several rounds of actions).

OOC: his Flesh Ring of Scorn automatically confirms any crits he might have.

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan moves to engage Errtu, since it's a much easier target thanks to being trapped in the webs.

Edit - Using the blessed cold iron dagger. And Dodge on Errtu

 

[Uriel]

OoC:Kripp is still Holding his Greater Dispel, unleashing it at the first sign of one of the Balor's casting another Firestorm or something similarly nasty.
