<Kotono> ------------------------
<Kotono> <Lucy> "Is being in your underwear some sort of traumatic childhood memory for you?" Lucy asks Jetina. "Because we're all bleeding after we got bitten on and things are trying to kill us, so I would suggest focusing on that first."
<Kotono> > Veren gathers up Jetina's armor in the hell house, while the others get to the other side. Which is good, since moments later the axe reappears. Its momentum carries to where Jetina's neck would've been, before it stops. The axe floats in midair as...OOC: Init.
<Kotono> <Moore> roll 1d20+5+8
<Kotono> > OOC: Actually we're at pause time so we'll pause here, typos and all. We'll start with init tomorrow.
<Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Moore rolls 1d20+5+8 and gets 27." [1d20=14]
<Kotono> OOC: Init, all but Moore.
<Lucy> roll 1d20+4+8

* Kotono changes topic to 'Lucy(32)>Moore(27)>Axe(20)>Veren(18)>Jetina(17)>Pepo(15) '
<Kotono> OOC: Open Lucy. Axe is 40ft away.
<Lucy> "I knew that would happen," Lucy mutters in disgust, casting Shield as she watches the axe warily.
<Kotono> OOC: Okay. Moore.
<Moore> Moore takes a moment to get his bearings and then clears his throat. "Let's get through this, everyone!" OOC: Using Inspire Courage, +2 to attack and damage, and +2 to fear and charm
<Kotono> OOC: Right-o. Axe is up.
<Kotono> As the party prepares, the axe whirls 'round again and comes right for Lucy this time, going for her neck.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+13 (+1 ???)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 18 > 12 [d20=5]
<Lucy> OOC: miss
<Kotono> Ting! The sound of metal on shield echoes throughout the foggy, ethereal forest. The axe is sent flying back by Lucy's shield spell, wobbling back to where it started. OOC: Veren.
> OOC: How far is Jetina from me?
> OOC: Since I was in the cabin and they were outside.
<Kotono> OOC: 30ft, since you're still in the house.
* Veren runs over to Justina and hands her the armor!
<Kotono> All Jetina takes is her holy symbol, which she holds out and calls, "In the name of Qupan, heal!" OOC: Channel energy to heal the party (except for her, but she doesn't need it)
<Kotono> roll 4d6+7 healing all
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 24 > 12 [d6=5,6,5,1]
<Kotono> The party's injuries mend, flesh torn apart by undead teeth righted. OOC: Pepo.
<Pepo> Pepo fires off a rippling ray of sonic power through the air at the axe before taking cover behind Jetina!
<Pepo> roll 1d100 5+ wild surge
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 44 > 12 [d100=44]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch, augmented 5pp
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 31 > 12 [d20=17]
<Pepo> roll 7d6-7 sonic
<Kotono> OOC: Hit.
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 17 > 12 [d6=2,2,4,4,5,2,5]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Lucy(32)>Moore(27)>Axe(20)>Veren(18)>Jetina(17)>Pepo(15)>Handpatch(12) '
<Kotono> The axe is hit hard, cracking all over from a burst of sound. As it does, the ground in front of Pepo rises up. Dozens of rotting zombie hands reach out to try and get him.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+14 CMD, Pepo?
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 32 > 12 [d20=18]
<Pepo> OOC: 20
<Kotono> roll 2d4+2 damage and fort
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 4 > 12 [d4=1,1]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+9
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 21 > 12 [d20=12]
<Kotono> Ow! The hands claw and scratch Pepo, but he avoids the worst of it even as a chill runs through him. But he's held by the hands, trying to scratch and tear him apart. OOC: Grappled, Pepo.  Lucy.
<Lucy> "Shatter would be a good spell, here," Lucy muses to herself, spending a moment to ponder the pros and cons of learning the spell in the future. As she does so, she blows off a kiss to the scratching hands grasping at Pepo.
<Lucy> roll 5d4+5 arcanist's gloves, MM
<Serith> Lucy roll for Serith < 21 > 12 [d4=4,3,4,2,3]
<Kotono> The hands are battered all over, crumbling away under the assault. Pepo is freed. Dirty but freed. OOC: Moore.
* Kotono changes topic to 'Lucy(32)>Moore(27)>Axe(20)>Veren(18)>Jetina(17)>Pepo(15) '
<Moore> OOC: Are we all close enough to be hit by one Haste spell?
<Kotono> OOC: Sure.
<Moore> Moore makes a quick incantation. "Let's get this thing dealt with!" With that, he empowers everyone with some speed-enhancing magic as he continues to inspire everyone. Of course, then he turns invisible. OOC: Throwing Haste out and continuing the song but also going invis, in case any of that wasn't clear.
<Kotono> OOC: Sure thing. Axe is up.
<Kotono> The axe whirls 'round again, this time coming for Veren. It's cracked all over and looking fragile, but it still tries to behead the changeling.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+13 (+1 ???)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 24 > 12 [d20=11]
<Kotono> OOC: AC?
> OOC: 26
<Kotono> But Veren ducks under the axe, as it flies back to whence it came, once again thwarted. OOC: Veren.
* Veren calls on his mental abilities, focusing and launching a glob of goo at the flying axe!
> roll 1d20+12 Ranged Touch ATK
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 14 > 12 [d20=2]
<Kotono> The axe is targeted - but the glob of goo flies errant, splattering on a nearby tree instead. OOC: The dice strike again. Jetina's up.
<Kotono> OOC: Actually she'll hold. Go Pepo.
<Pepo> Time for another sonic ray!
<Pepo> roll 1d100 5+ wild surge
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 100 > 12 [d100=100]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch, augmented 4pp
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 30 > 12 [d20=16]
<Pepo> roll 6d6-6
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 18 > 12 [d6=4,4,1,5,5,5]
<Kotono> Another sonic ray does the trick. The axe shatters into a thousand pieces. For a moment all is calm - only your breathing disturbs your reverie. Then the house itself roars. A sound like groaning and gnashing teeth, as legs of thousands of teeth push it out of the ground. The cabin rises up on those bony legs, the walls giving way to deep mouths with long, black tongues.  From within the house,
<Kotono> the sound of insectile buzzing can be heard. OOC: Init. It's not over yet!
> roll 1d20+4+8 Init
<Kotono> roll 1d20+12 Jetina
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 32 > 12 [d20=20]
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 16 > 12 [d20=4]

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 8 > 12 [d20=4]
<Lucy> roll 1d20+4+8
<Serith> Lucy roll for Serith < 31 > 12 [d20=19]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+6+8
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 24 > 12 [d20=10]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Veren(32)>Jetina(16)>Hell House(8) '
* Kotono changes topic to 'Veren(32)>Lucy(31)>Pepo(24)>Jetina(16)>Hell House(8) '
<Moore> roll 1d20+8+5
<Serith> Moore roll for Serith < 32 > 12 [d20=19]
* Kotono changes topic to 'Veren-Moore(32)>Lucy(31)>Pepo(24)>Jetina(16)>Hell House(8) '
<Kotono> OOC: Veren and Moore, open.
* Veren raises a disbelieving eyebrow at the... thing... but throws a pair of daggers at the thing, having *zero* desire to get close to it. OOC: spending 1 inspiration for returning.
<Moore> "Holy smokes!" Cries Moore, still invisible. Invisible... ...yes, just in case, you never know! Moore points at the center of the house and casts Glitterdust at it! In case there's something else there, you never know! OOC: Just continuing the singing and throwing that. Also staying Invisible.
> roll 1d20+14 ATK 1
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 21 > 12 [d20=7]
> roll 1d20+9 ATK 2
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 11 > 12 [d20=2]
<Kotono> OOC: One hit, Veren.
> roll 1d4+3 Damage
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 6 > 12 [d4=3]
<Kotono> OOC: Glitterdust is will, right?
<Moore> OOC: Yes
<Kotono> roll 1d20+6
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 18 > 12 [d20=12]
<Kotono> OOC: DC?
<Moore> OOC: 21
<Kotono> Glitterdust explodes into the insides of the house. Inside you can see - something - glittering gold, but you can't really get a good luck. OOC: Lucy.
<Lucy> It's not really a time to hold back, so after giving the cabin an evil look Lucy strikes at it repeatedly with her wings! She doesn't need a good look to catch whatever is inside with the attack. Knowing something is there is enough!
<Lucy> roll 9d6 force, ref DC25 half
<Serith> Lucy roll for Serith < 28 > 12 [d6=1,3,1,5,2,3,3,5,5]
<Kotono> roll 1d20+12
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 22 > 12 [d20=10]
<Lucy> And then she moves laterally away from the others, far enough that a fireball wouldn't be able to catch them all.
<Lucy> OOC: Dazed for a round
<Kotono> OOC: House is immune.
<Kotono> The hell house is hit hard, hurled heavily backwards by the wingblast. But it stays up, things covered in golden dust visibly moving within. OOC: Pepo.
<Pepo> Pepo switches to fire now, calling on the full powers of chaos to either empower or hinder the flaming beam that lashes out towards the house!
<Pepo> roll 1d100 5+ wild surge
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 61 > 12 [d100=61]
<Pepo> roll 1d10 chaotic surge
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 8 > 12 [d10=8]
<Pepo> OOC: halved :(
<Pepo> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch, augmented 8pp
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 23 > 12 [d20=9]
<Kotono> OOC: Hit.
<Pepo> roll 0.5*10d6+10
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 31 > 12 [d6=5,1,1,5,4,3,6,6,6,5]
<Kotono> The house is hit dead on, parts of it burning now. A blazing, golden dust covered house lumbers forward towards the party - before exhaling a massive tide of teeth with fly wings. They buzz like insects, flying errant and covered with golden dust. OOC: Ref all, +4 bonus since the teeth-flies are disoriented from glitterdust.
> roll 1d20+15+4 Ref Save
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 34 > 12 [d20=15]
<Pepo> roll 1d20+13+4 evasion
<Serith> Pepo roll for Serith < 33 > 12 [d20=16]
> OOC: Evasion, too.
<Moore> roll 1d2-+11+4
<Serith> Moore roll for Serith < -9 > 12 [d2=2]
<Kotono> OOC: Reroll, Moore.
<Kotono> roll 1d20+10 Jetina
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 26 > 12 [d20=16]
<Moore> roll 1d20+11+4
<Serith> Moore roll for Serith < 32 > 12 [d20=17]
<Kotono> roll 12d4+12 Veren none, Pepo none, Moore half, Jetina half
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 38 > 12 [d4=3,2,3,2,1,1,4,3,4,1,1,1]
<Kotono> All around you the teeth fly out and fall. While most avoid it altogether, Jetina and Moore are both chomped on, bitten and slashed. It's like being chewed all over again. OOC: Pepo.
<Pepo> OOC: really? I just went.
<Kotono> OOC: Oh, I just missed Jetina's turn. I'll say she held.
* Kotono changes topic to 'Veren-Moore(32)>Lucy(31)>Pepo(24))>Hell House(8)>Jetina '
> OOC: Moore and me now?
<Kotono> OOC: Yeah, go ahead. Sorry, spaced.
* Veren again summons a glob of goo, but this time it begins to rapidly expand into a giant ball of goo before launching off towards the house! OOC: Spending an additional 6 PP, 7 total, to up it to gargantuan levels!
> roll 1d20+12 GOO BALL OF DOOM!
<Serith> Veren roll for Serith < 25 > 12 [d20=13]
<Kotono> OOC: Hit.
> OOC: It be entangled for 5 rounds.
<Kotono> OOC: Okay. Moore?
<Moore> Moore flies up a bit higher in case it decides to shoot angry teeth bees again, he may be able to avoid it this time! He casts a spell to heal himself for the time being.
<Moore> roll 1d8+5
<Serith> Moore roll for Serith < 8 > 12 [d8=3]
<Moore> OOC: Staying invisible since he can't tell if that actually is helping or not.
