OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

On the bright side, Badrazel summoning another Balor means that he concedes that you would have slain him if he didn't summon help.

Well, that would be comforting if we had a fresh batch of PCs to use to kill the new balor. Unfortunately, we don't.

hmmm, some of the PCs are fresh. Kilcif doesn't have a scratch on him and he has inflicted a lot of damage on the Balor.

And I just realized that one of his arrows was an automatic critical thanks to the Bless Weapon on his bow as well as Torellan's dagger. Badrazel is sitting around -197 hit points. Its possible Quertus could finish him before he summons Errtu, or cast a spell that prevents Badrazel from using his spell like abilities.

Kilcif still needs someone to stand in front of him as fodder... Besides he's going to be to busy running in a few seconds.

Honestly if we banish the first one does the second one go along for the ride? (sorry I'm clueless with spells but we all should know this by now.)

It's listed as a Summon, rather than a Call effect; that may make it easier to return him whence he came.

A dispel magic or an anti-magic globe or something similar would send Errtu back. That is correct.

Also, on another topic Quertus almost died to the Firestorm. He took greater than 50 points of damage and rolled a 5 on his fort save (DC 15). His normal fort save is +8. I'm ruling that the firestorm was cast by an evil creature so he gets the +2 bonus from his magic circle against evil, so he gets a 15 on his fort save. Although this is a very close call, and it would be reasonable to rule either way on the +2.

FYI: I posted the round 4 action for Badrazel. I have not seen Quertus's action for round 4, so depending on what Quetus wants to do, Badrazel's action may change.

But if the action does not change, Badrazel gates in Errtu, another Balor who hates drow.

Unless Quertus gets extremely lucky, I don't think he has the chance to prevent Badrazel from summoning Errtu. The only thing that Quertus has that could deal enough damage to kill him, is Disintegrate. And he has fort save of +22 (or 26), and we'd almost all die in the explosion. Quertus could always try to use Banishment, but there's not much sense to it without using Limited Wish first.

And uhh, Balors explode when they reach -10 right? Then it might be good that it's in the chasm... We just need to inflict about 100 points of damage to the Balor, and put it somewhere between -1 and -9, and shout "Sorry" to the ones that are down. The problem is that if we overdo (or underdo) the damage, we'll die.

If we manage to banish or kill Badrazel after he summons Errtu, does Errtu disappear?

Quertus could also use Limited Wish to cast Transmute Rock to Mud at the ceiling of the chasm. Though I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. How would a flying creature react?

Or could Quertus use Limited Wish to stop Badrazel from using his summoning ability?

A dispel magic or an anti-magic globe or something similar would send Errtu back. That is correct.

Well, Quertus has 2 Dispel Magics, but they'd have to go agaist CL 20, while they're cast as CL 10... :\ Quertus could use Limited Wish to cast the Antimagic Field, but it would be centered at him, and he has no intention of going any closer to the Balor(s).

Also, on another topic Quertus almost died to the Firestorm.

If someone wants a "ride" they best be speakin soon.

I'm starting to agree with you. Fortunately Quertus has Dimension Door and Greater Teleport, so he can take somebody along with him if we flee. If he's still alive.



Frankly, I propose that we either Banish Badrazel now, or get the hell out of there. Quertus can't take another Firestorm.

 

[Dalamar]

Think positively, at least Errtu can't summon yet another balor.

But I agree, we're in big trouble. Especially when it comes to Torellan's coffin if we decide to Teleport away. Too bad we couldn't get it grappled, that would've made things a lot easier.

Desperate times...
