We started late due to Nevla's player having serious connection issues and not being able to join until late, at one point I was considering cancelling for the week but fortunatly she connected almost as soon as I started thinking about that. Then at the end of the 1st turn of combat the system I was using to track initiative decided that initiative should be rolled every round and wiped out the initiative order which caused me confusion and stress trying to keep things organised and then moving the Voice of Rot around on Roll20 proved very difficult , I went with freedrawing his body in after movement rather than 60 counters, but problems with the interface meant that when I deleted his previous body it also took out the counters for most of the party and there was no undo option.So I lost track of a lot of what was going on and partly because of this confusion and time pressure I forgot several things which would have made the fight more difficult but overall it worked out the issues annoyed me much more than the players.We started off with a logn discussion of spells and tactics, which eventually I cut short because it seemed to be obsessing on trivial issues and if we did not start the fight there was no way we were going to get it done this week but that is normal.They cast a huge amount of pre-battle buffs the most important being layered death wards which shut down a lot of the bad guys attacks and spell immunity vs the other dangerous spells. I also used spell immunity to shut down Named Bullet (the most dangerous spell in the world) and disintigrate.As they approached the Voice of Rot explained his ineveitable Victory, they considered blasting him with the Coaltongues main weapons but decided Reida looked too fragile to use the big guns so they engaged him in conversation while landing on Reida carefully deploying Nevla into an age where Risur existed so she could draw upon the power of the monarch, they had complicated plans to split up across the arc which never gor fully implemented. They asked the Voice why he had not already destroyed the world and he proclaimed his Victory would not be complete without destroying the Heroes of the Age , Manuel asked why he did not include Nicodemus as worthy of defeat and the Voice dismissed him as a cog in the machine. They made a note to share with Nicodemus the Voice of Rots contemptous dismissal.The heroes started first  Manuel shot the former professor with a cannon saying 'That's for stealing the best office' and noting that the university administration was too far away to stop people using artillery and deadly necromancy in academic disputes. William dimension doored Padme and himself next to the professor and he was stabbed to destruction, El Kevin blaster a rider  with a huge volley of revolver fire nearly killing him. The GM activated the emergency reserves and a magma dagon crawled out of the present day a shadow of the near destruction of Alais Primos, Nevla hit 2 more riders with a sunburst spell. The riders hit El Kevin with a volley of Eye beams, the Voice of Rot Bit Manuel and the dragon charged towards Nevla and missed biting her only due to her Queenly benefits, Ulvaar slow as usual killed the injured Rider with a blade of positive energy.The initiative order deleted itself and chaos reigned.   Nevla Mazed the dragon which sadly was using Linnorm stats and had a low intelligence so never came back. William teleported over next to another Rider and Padme rolled a brilliant attack routine killing it, Manuel shot the Voice of Rot with a Nock gun, it bit him, El Kevin used a telporation gate prepared by Nevla while the Voice was monologing to teleprot across to the far side of Reida and shoot a rider leaving it badly hurt, the rider blasted El Kevin leaving him on the verge of death, Manuel was not much better. The butler (Creed) usntealthed behind Manuel and failed to hit him, Ulvaar badly hurt the butler.To be continued</blockquote>
