Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 2: The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar

[Gregor]

Seeing the tasty human snack move around behind it, the Hell Hound snaps out again with its jaws, trying to rip open Lars' meaty belly. Its jaws connect, piercing Lars flesh. The hound twists its head and pulls, ripping Lars flesh and the hound breathes a gust of flame through its teeth and into the open wound leaving a bloody and charred gash behind.

However, Lars manages to get behind the Hell Hound and reciprocates with a deep stab to its rear flank.

GM: Remember guys, if you take a 5ft step you cannot combine it with other movement.

 

[The Bashar]

Hrimr heads toward Lars as he sees the hellhound take a chunk of out him. He draws his battleaxe and with a dwarven battle cry charges at the hellhound.

OOC: Movement ends at L4

 

[Gregor]

The mindless Lemures continue to surge forward, now attempting to smother Bannock with fleshy limbs. They converge on his position, avoiding his attack of opportunity, and grab, slam and whip their corpulent limbs into Bannock. They drive the air from his lungs and batter his ribs.

The Bearded Devil hops back slightly (5ft step to M7) and howls an infernal war cry before it strikes at Alric with an overhand chop and follows up with a sideways slash at Arnir. The saw-toothed glaive tears through armor and rends Alric's shoulder open to the bone. The wound pulsates with dark energy and blood pours from the fleshy opening. The Bearded Devil's second slash whips at Arnir, but it bounces off of the wizard's arcane armor drawing a frustrated curse and howl from the devil.

Round 3

GM: Bannock, I totally forgot the +1 from Torrent's spell, but it unfortunately would not have helped due to the rolling of a 1.

 

[digimattic]

Arnir's eyes open wide as the glaive slices at his midsection. At the last minute he is able to step partially out of the way, and his arcane protection absorbs the rest of the blow with a shimmer of blue light. Taking another 5-foot step backwards (J4), Arnir moves his hand in a swirling rhythmic motion. Out of thin air, a silvery orb appears, begins to rotate and then splits into to. The bright silver orbs flash with energy and slam unerringly into the bearded devil.

OOC: forgot spell resistance check, so this is out of order

 

[Gregor]

Arnir, your magic missiles strike towards the Bearded Devil, but they slam into an invisible aura around your target. The missiles phase out with a crackle of energy and fail to damage the devil.

 

[Bannock]

OOC: Greg, Bannock also has +1 on all AOO and readied attacks due to his level 3 polearm mastery feat, so including power attack I should have been +8 on that AOO, but again it makes no difference.

Bannock's eyes widen as he sees the demon's weapon tear into Alric. He ignores the shambling flesh and focuses on the true threat, with increased determination. He steps forth and again attempts to penetrate the demon with a fierce thrust of his long weapon.

Being deflected by the devil's terrible weapon, Bannock calls out to the party,

"He's strong! Alric, we'll need to fight as one, I need your help!"

OOC: Teehee. Activating Blade of the Resistance to mark demon (+2 to damage rolls). 5 ft step into K-7, power attack on demon. Alric, Bannock is suggesting that you use the "Aid another" special action so I can actually land some damn hits, unless you have a better plan.

 

[Gregor]

Bannock, the Bearded Devil brings his savage weapon back into a guard position, just before your glaive strikes it in the chest. The devil deflects your blessed weapon with the shaft of its own polearm. Your arms quiver slightly from the impact as it feels like you have just struck an anvil.

GM: Doh! I did forget that Bannock. Thanks for the reminder for next time.

 

[Adjuntive]

Alric howls in pain as the devil's glaive sinks into his shoulder. He hears Bannock's words but his instincts tell him to keep pressing on the barbazu.

"We have to focus our attacks Bannock, bring him down as fast as we can!"

OOC: A +2 to attack is not going to help bad rolling

Alric grits his teeth shifts in beside the devil (5ft step to L7) and thrusts his sword point towards the devil's belly.

 

[Gregor]

Alric, your sword stabs the devil in the gut, drawing a thick, foul-smelling blood that drips down its legs in slow rivulets. Although it cries out in obvious pain, its eyes are smiling and you can tell that it is reveling in the fight.

Additionally, your wound continues to pulsate with infernal energy and you continue to lose blood (you take an additional 2 bleed damage from your wound last round).

 

[funkmamagoat]

A mad, building laughter begins to emanate from Kirio as he surveys the madness around him. You can almost hear a strange and frightening tune in his laughter as his eyes briefly glow green, he steps forward (M4) and motions towards Lars...

OOC: defensive casting, CLW
