035: A hero is just a man who knows he's free

[Sierra]

<El-Cideon> The Burning Hand lieutenant draws his sword and gestures the first squadron of soldiers forward. "Try to take that one alive!" he commands, pointing towards Stephanie. "I look forward to reeducating her later. Anyone who stands in her defense dies!" A moment's focus, and a merry flame blazes into life along the lieutenant's sword. And then the rest of him catches fire. "Esgara!" he calls out to the salamander while aflame. "Allow none to escape! All must see justice carried out this day!" The salamander shrugs. "I don't work for you," he grumbles in a guttural voice, though he does order his elemental squad to group up behind the mob and strike down anyone trying to flee the plaza. Meanwhile, the first row of recruits surges forward and surrounds Stephanie on all sides, laying into her with the flat of their blades to try and bludgeon her into submission.

<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 10#1d20+10+2-4 1,0 (flank - nonlethal penalty) --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{16}, 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{24}, 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{20}, 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{12}, 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{17}, 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{10}, 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{24}, 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{10}
<Steph> OOC: My AC is 26.
<El-Cideon> But the whirlwind of blades around Stephanie finds no purchase just yet. Rosemund raises her mace in the air and blesses everyone on the side of right with holy power. "Blessings of the sun upon us. Good luck, everyone!" (OOC: +2 to STR/DEX, +5 movement speed to all allies for 10 rounds).
<El-Cideon> OOC: Steph
<Steph> "Who would do this if they were only lucky?" mutters Stephanie, wrapping her cloak around her and turning invisible! With that, she simply aims to vault over the irritating guards surrounding her and get a step closer to that burning lieutenant...
<Steph> roll 1d20+20 let's tumble to move through threatened squares whilst invisible!
<Rei-chan> 6,0Steph rolled :6,0 1d20+20 1,0let's tumble to move through threatened squares whilst invisible! --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{36}
<El-Cideon> OOC: proceed
<Steph> She makes a beeline for the leaders, though she's only going to make it about halfway there...
<El-Cideon> The salamander watches and waits for now, taking no immediate action beyond a dry chuckle as the lieutenant's quarry disappears. The crowd of townsfolk, hemmed in by potentially hostile forces on each side, also holds still. Meanwhile, the bent-spined, robed woman at the edge of the crowd mutters a pair of incantations...
<El-Cideon> roll 1d4+5
<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 1d4+5 --> 6,0[ 1d4=3 ]4,0{8}
<El-Cideon> ...and there are suddenly nine extremely blurry copies of her in place.

* Franceska points at the golem, before sharply gesturing up with her arm and Cokely finds himself impaled from below by hardened basalt!
<Franceska> roll 10d6 piercing, ref DC21 half

<Franceska> OOC: Full damage and it's impaled and needs a DC15 escape artist/DC25 str check to get free
<El-Cideon> With a wrenching squeal of stone through scorched metal, a spike of rock thrusts through the metal golem and pins him to the spot. Cokely roars in rage! Meanwhile, right next to him, something else happens.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16 vs ff

* Franceska settles for giving the impudent fool a look of disdain, before raising an eyebrow at the lieutenant.
<El-Cideon> Someone blinks into existence behind the lieutenant--Stephanie may recognize him as the proprietor of the shop she purchased her sign from--and lays into the Burning Hand officer with sword and dagger. "'I look forward to reeducating that one,'" he echoes in simpering tones. "As though any of you cretins spent a day in school!"

<Julia> Stepping apart from Rosemund, Julia first unleashes her aura of terror, an altogether unwholesome expression on her face while her hair twists and writhes as if with a life of its own, and that's when she begins incanting the words to a truly dreadful spell! With a presumed friendly attacking the lieutenant as well as Stephanie probably heading that way, she excludes him from her wrath,
<Julia> instead centering her spell to take out the left flank of the recruits, dreadful waves of pea-green smog erupting amidst them and bringing death in their wake! OOC: DC 19 fort, kills with no save if 3hd or less, kills if save fails for 4 to 6hd, does 1d4 con damage if save succeeds unless hd 7 and above, in which case 1d4 con damage if save fails

<Julia> roll 1d4 con damage where appropriate
<Rei-chan> 6,0Julia rolled :6,0 1d4 1,0con damage where appropriate --> 6,0[ 1d4=3 ]4,0{3}
<El-Cideon> More than half the left flank withers and perishes on the spot, while their four remaining comrades look awfully sickly all of a sudden! The maimed lieutenant roars in fury as his bold display of authority suddenly devolves into chaos. "NO MORE GAMES! KILL THEM ALL! ESGARA--BEAT THROUGH THE CROWD IF YOU MUST!" Meanwhile, the battered golem opts to flail away at the nearest adversary rather than free itself.
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+20
<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 2#1d20+20 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{29}, 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{25}

<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 2d10+9+1 1,0fire (latter academic) --> 6,0[ 2d10=13 ]4,0{23}
<El-Cideon> The shopkeeper takes an awful blow to the chin while the golem rages. The elemental squad surges up behind the crowd and bludgeons citizens left and right in an attempt to clear a path; the LT turns and slashes away at his attacker while the officer next to him gulps down a potion of some sort.

<El-Cideon> Two unfortunate citizens are battered down by flaming fists as the elemental squad attempts to force its way towards the party. The swarm of recruits, lacking sight of their previous quarry, forms a wall to separate their officers from their attackers and moves in on the line of Fran/Rosemund/Julia.
<El-Cideon> roll 3#1d20+10 vs Fran

<El-Cideon> "You young men should know better than to treat ladies so poorly!" Rosemund exclaims. "Do you know what happens when we get angry?!" In Rosemund's case, it entails swelling visibly with holy fury!
<El-Cideon> (OOC: +STR/BAB/temp HP, for reference)
<Steph> From here, Stephanie needs only leap to the lieutenant, before lashing out in a surprise flurry of blows! "The sun's glory hides behind fire!" she shouts, dagger and sword complimenting her newfound compatriots!
<Steph> OOC: I presume I can flank? Also sudden leap to suddenly leap. <_<

<El-Cideon> The LT slumps in place, barely clinging to life. Meanwhile, Esgara sidles up behind his crew of elementals; the mob panicks from the violence being perpetrated upon its back ranks and disperses madly in all directions, pushing, shoving, trampling anything and everything around them in their haste to evacuate the square--

<El-Cideon> Buffeted on all sides by the panicked masses, Franceska and the young soldiers find themselves battered and bashed to the ground! Rosey and Julia manage to persevere and stay on their feet, fortunately.
<El-Cideon> The robed woman urges the crowd on--"Run to your homes, all of you!"--before winding back one arm to hurl a spell--

<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 13d6 1,0cold! --> 6,0[ 13d6=48 ]4,0{48}
<El-Cideon> A globe of freezing water explodes in their midst, and suddenly the entire group's attention is elsewhere.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Fran
<Franceska> "I don't really care that much about your rudeness due to the sort of people you must deal with here," Franceska muses, in contrast to Rosemund and Stephanie's zeal. "And this town will probably end up being ruined once you're all gone, but I just hate slavers and rapists. And you dared to presume too much. Please die painfully, the lot of you?" And then she climbs to her feet, retrieving
<Franceska> her wand and discharging it towards the most obnoxious of the Burning Hand. White-haired sons indeed!
<Franceska> roll 5d4+5 die first

<El-Cideon> The Burning Hand commander practically explodes in a welter of blood. His slayer taunts the crowd: "Do you see this? This is what happens to every one of you! Every last one of you!"
<El-Cideon> OOC: Julia
<Julia> With the elementals now bunched up and the crowd dispersed, Julia decides to do something about that before they're flanked. Delicately stepping over her fallen assailants, she moves further to the left and then winds up a spell inimical to this particular plane, if perhaps suited to the plane just beyond the nearby gate. Also her cloudkill rolls forward, much to the distress of anyone still
<Julia> within its area or who'd retreated back to avoid it, currently lapping over part of Cokely's left flank.

<El-Cideon> Quite ignoring Julia, the elemental squad instinctively veers towards the first mage who had the gall to unleash an ice spell on the plane of Fire! Surely Julia's turn will come later.

<El-Cideon> The recruit squad climbs to their collective feet; those next to their previous targets lash out once again; those trapped amongst the maddened mob simply cut through bystanders in an attempt to get somewhere, anywhere.

<El-Cideon> Rosey attempts to concentrate on a healing spell for Franceska, but is jostled out of the chant by the whirl of blades all around her! Meanwhile, Stephanie neatly eviscerates the remaining Burning Hand officer, what remains of the mob again tramples all in an attempt to disperse before the last of them finally vanish into the rows of neighboring houses--

<El-Cideon> "You think I work for those twits?" Esgara laughs back at Stephanie. "Nobody, NOBODY makes this kinda mess in my town without paying for it!" So saying, he points one finger at the beleaguered mage and launches a fireball in her direction.

<El-Cideon> Despite her obviusly pitiful agility, the malformed woman demonstrates an uncanny knack for being where the fire isn't. She looks somehow unharmed, insofar as one can tell anything beneath the illusions. The whole crowd of them suddenly blinks out from the group of elementals, appearing right next to them to launch another spell into their midst--

<El-Cideon> A freezing mist springs forth from her fingers and crackling crystals spread all over the elementals, dimming their flames further!
<Franceska> Muttering oaths under her breath, Franceska understands that staying on the ground is more foolish than taking to the air and being attacked by the minions surrounding her. After recovering through magic, she shifts into a massive owl and takes to the skies!

<El-Cideon> One of the recruits manages a parting swipe as Franceska beats a hasty retreat, the group apparently still having some heart to them as long as there's help in the field. Meanwhile, by the barracks: "I do hope you girls had a plan for dealing with THIS one!" Anton exclaims before dashing away from Cokely to try and menace the swarm of foes around Rosemund

<El-Cideon> The mage continues to go about her business unharmed, though Anton looks terribly bloodied from all the attention by this point. Rosemund assumes a defensive posture to tie down as much of the enemy attention as possible, while steal dishing out some hits!

<El-Cideon> A lunge with the spear catches Julia in the stomach, the spear's point searing with fire naturally emanating from the salamander--but even this distraction isn't enough to break her quiet repose!
<El-Cideon> The other beleaguered mage chants suddenly in what some might recognize as celestial. A beam of light shines upon her--and any friendly fighters nearby--bolstering her defenses. Then she focuses on another spell--

<Julia> A pair of zombified wyverns appear around Cokeley, ignoring the cloud of deadly smog (is anyone stupid enough to still be inside of it?) and slamming into the golem! Meanwhile Julia steps away from Esgara with a hand on her stomach over her wound, "I don't like you," she hisses, waving her hands and launching an enfeebling ray that's amped up on negative energy at him!

<El-Cideon> The salamander clings onto life tenaciously, a burning rage in its eyes the only sign of continued resistance! Elsewhere, near death, Anton continues to taunt his many attackers. "You twerps think you can kill me? I can't die yet, I've still got business with your boss. And all his lackeys on all the worlds, wherever they might be, I will cut them all down, and when you are all dead, NO ONE IN THE PLANES WILL MOURN FOR YOU!"

<Julia> "You two, go kill the men in uniforms!" Julia shouts, her wyverns unable to harm the golem after all. Moving in towards Esgara now that he can't harm her, she meets his eyes with a wicked smile and lays a hand on his chest to pull life force from him and into her! Meanwhile her wyverns clumsily pounce on the nearest recruits!

Julia's summoned support provokes astonished cries from the soldiers surrounding Anton, a sting taking one from behind.

<El-Cideon> Two more recruits fall amist the mass exodus. The others disappear from sight between the buildings of Ashpile. There's only the unseen golem left to deal with now...though judging by the constant litany of LAW AND ORDER emanating from the cloud, numbers aren't likely to persuade him to quit.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Steph, Rosey's going healbot
<El-Cideon> Freed at last from constant assaults, Rosemund checks around for the state of her allies. "Does anyone need--oh my!" She scurries over to the near-dead Anton to mend his wounds.
<El-Cideon> roll 4d8+19
<Rei-chan> 6,0El-Cideon rolled :6,0 4d8+19 --> 6,0[ 4d8=12 ]4,0{31}
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Rosey (22) > Steph (20) > Crooked Anna (16, Blade Barrier'd, Displaced) > Fran (14) > Anton Levesque (11) > Julia (9) > Cokely (8)''
<Steph> "Hey, we won! Any of you guys dead?" asks Stephanie, before frowning at the undead salamander. "Eww..." OOC: I'll spend this round recovering the Flashing Sun manuever!
<El-Cideon> From within her barrier of flying swords, the unknown mage blinks out of sight and then reappears next to the party. "He won't stop," she assures the group. "Can one of you disperse that cloud so we can engage him before he escapes on his own?"
<El-Cideon> OOC: Fran
* Franceska reluctantly uses magic to disfigure her visage with prickly thorns in preparation of doing even worse to that golem.
<El-Cideon> Anton merely nods a weary thanks to his unknown allies, standing ready for more trouble.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Julia
<Julia> "It's done its job," Julia agrees, dismissing the cloud with a wave of her hand and relaxing a bit now that she's no longer threatened, her hair falling back down her shoulders more normally. "Go! Kill it my minions!" she adds cheerfully, wyverns charging and Esgara slithering along to stab with his spear!
<Julia> roll 2#1d20+13 charging wyverns

<El-Cideon> Trapped as he is with enemies on all sides, the wretched automaton ceases trying to struggle free and turns its attention back towards battering down all opposition. Steam vents from the golem's joints suddenly, scalding all within reach of it!
<El-Cideon> OOC: fort (there'd be possible fatigue attached to this, but undead)
<El-Cideon> OOC: this just applies to his undead attackers
<Julia> roll 2#1d20+4 for wyverns, Esgara is immune to fire

<El-Cideon> OOC: Steph
<El-Cideon> Rosemund's blessed weapon proves to be curiously efficacious against the lumbering automaton!
<Steph> Stephanie shrugs, and then rushes in to join with the rest of 'em!
<Steph> roll 1d20+20 I'll charge and presumably flank with someone, discarding my keen rapier and using my sacred rapier instead for this.
<Rei-chan> 6,0Steph rolled :6,0 1d20+20 1,0I'll charge and presumably flank with someone, discarding my keen rapier and using my sacred rapier instead for this. --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{26}
<El-Cideon> OOC: whiff
<El-Cideon> The gaunt wizardess steps over to Anton, touches him on the shoulder, and he disappears from sight. "Try not to get yourself killed," she advises.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Fran
<Franceska> 'Why do you have to always rush in?!" Franceska complains as only a bear can, shaking a clawed fist at Rosemund. But rather than follow suit just yet, she repeats her previous spell to let all those harrassing the golem to get one more strike in!
<Franceska> OOC: Mass Snake's Swiftness, again

* Franceska reluctantly makes her way to grab a spot by the golem herself. Scalding heat and the chance to get clobbered to death, what excitement!
<El-Cideon> But all of the extra blows rebound harmlessly off the golem's pitted metal exterior. Its eyes blaze with vengeful pilot lights!
<El-Cideon> OOC: Julia
<Julia> Considering her minions to be more than pulling her weight in the grand melee, Julia hangs back and contents herself with a bit of healing.

<Julia> OOC: dead
<El-Cideon> "Why will you not surrender?" Rosemund wonders as she batters away at the golem twice more. "You allies have all died or fled! You will only be destroyed yourself for continuing this fight!"

<El-Cideon> Two more harmless CLANGS ricochet off the golem's chest.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Steph
<El-Cideon> "THERE WILL BE ORDER," Cokely presses on. "ALL MUST OBEY FOR SOCIAL HARMONY."
<Steph> "But your harsh laws have brought about additional resistance!" exclaims Stephanie. "Your method is inherently flawed and can only result in violent insurrection, the definition of social disharmony!" She punctuates her statements with violence!

<El-Cideon> OOC: all miss :(
<El-Cideon> The blackhaired enchantress tries on a curious gauntlet, then moves in to take up the fallen wyvern's place next to the raging automaton.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Fran
<Franceska> Her claws and teeth try to convey her extreme hate to the automaton!

<El-Cideon> OOC: Julia
<Julia> Looking around the battlefield for any prospective minions, Julia sighs in dismay at the lack of quality corpses. Undeterred, she begins to summon something up, while leaving her remaining minions to continue the fight!

<El-Cideon> OOC: miss
<Julia> OOC: doing 1 round summon monster thing
<El-Cideon> "YOU SPEAK NONSENSE," Cokely bellows back at Stephanie. "TOTAL OBEDIENCE IS THE FOUNDATION OF HARMONIOUS CIVILIZATION. ALL WHO CANNOT OBEY MUST BE LIQUIDATED." Again assessing the crowd, it settles on Rosemund as the most tempting target.
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+20

<El-Cideon> Rosemund lands two fierce impacts that badly dent the automaton's chestplate, whereas Stephanie's blades just *ping* off harmlessly.
<El-Cideon> The mage reaches in with strange, fell energies crackling around her fist.

<El-Cideon> Cokely's exterior corrodes and flakes away. There is a sense that he is only barely held together by rage and willpower at this point.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Fran
<Franceska> Is she not angry enough? How can this be, when she hates Rosemund for rushing in so stupidly and, far more importantly than that, she hates this tin can for trying to kill Rosemund for it?!

<Franceska> OOC: +1
<El-Cideon> "ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR--*" Franceska reaches in and shreds the last ligaments of metal holding the mad machine together, and it finally tumbles to lifeless pieces of rusted metal on the ground.
* Franceska kicks the broken head into the barracks with all her stength.
<El-Cideon> OOC: free act
<Steph> "Let's go find the girls and set them all free!" exclaims Stephanie, running towards the barracks.
<Julia> Another rotting wyvern pops into being just a bit too late for the fun. "Just fly straight up, may as well see how high the protection against fire goes," Julia sighs dismissively, both wyverns obediently flapping their wings and spiralling upwards!
<El-Cideon> Julia observes that the bubble of habitable space around Ashpile is about a couple hundred feet. This sketches out roughly a dome around the town.
<Julia> Sadly there won't be any pretty rain of ash since they vanish utterly once sufficiently burnt. "Just wait here Esgara," she tells her remaining minion, sauntering after Stephanie. And healing herself a bit.
