Are astral effects still valid (quickened spells)? Also, did I learn anything about immunities/weaknesses from knowledge check?

<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Anastasia

Yes. Also, what was your knowledge check result?

Result was 61:
[00:07] <Merc> roll d20+42 Assuming K:P is applicable. Same modifier for K:N/K:A/K:R as well. If it's something else...

As you have seen, the Hanged Raven is an extremely strong anarch. She has the protections typical to a demon - immunity to electricity, a host of resistances and she's also said to be immune to mind-affecting abilities. Not a lot is known about her offensive abilities, but it's noted she ends fights fast, so most suspect she has overwhelming offense or a way of quickly defeating foes.

She also has the ability to summon demons. These demons appear as half-dead horrors that are lynched and dying. Nonetheless they fight with a fanatic will and are extremely difficult to kill.

"Guess this is where we fight then," Ithea says as she fires a Polar Ray spell at the demon.

She also does one more try at the taking control of the field, but if not, she'll have to focus on melee and magic and hoping to weaken the Hanged Raven enough to beat it that way.

I forgot to mention it, but she's going for the same effect as the past few times, summoning a swarm of felines to counter the ravens. And some roughly crafted Ithea plushies. Because why not.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Anastasia

Ithea fires off a polar ray, but it fizzles on contact with the Hanged Raven. Instead, she focuses on her anarch powers. A storm of felines of all types gush about, countering any ravens as Ithea plushies - rough indeed but more or less like her - appear all around, including a few pelting her on the head. It's enough to momentarily stagger her, then...

Fortitude save, Ithea.

Ithea suddenly feels constriction around her throat. A noose is strangling her, choking the life and air from her.

> roll 10d8 halve this
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 49 > [d8=2,6,1,8,8,3,5,4,8,4]


Her neck aches as air is driven from her. Her lungs begin to burn immediately, as if the air was being sucked out her lungs.

You're suffocating. You can hold your breath for 2 rounds per point of Con, or 60 rounds. However, this noose is far more effective than normal and chokes 6 rounds worth of air out of you immediately. Track the air you have left in your statblock. Right now it would be 54/60.

You also made the save, this would be much worse if you hadn't.


As she deals with that, ravens appear from all over, assaulting Ithea.

> roll 1d20+61 (+11 smite good)
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 62 > [d20=1]


But's Ithea's felines are able to hold the ravens off, at least for now.

Go.

How much distance between us?

Anastasia

20ft, she hasn't moved a muscle. She's just floating there like a corpse.

Merc

'Well, I guess this is why they call her the 'Hanged' Raven,' Ithea thinks, but doesn't speak, wanting to conserve the precious air.

Can I tell why the spell fizzled? Might affect action.

Spell resistance. Fairly clear to Ithea. So at least SR 38.

Ithea decides to launch a melee combo empowered with arcane might to weaken her defenses to spells, taking a small step towards the demoness and slashing away with her glaive, activating her boots' haste effect as she does so, before finishing it out with a Disintegrate spell that hopefully smashes into her target.

Please note, I screwed up on attack bonus. I added an extra +1 (mentioned in chat) because I treated GMW as +5 instead of +4, forgetting weapon already has +1. However, I also forgot +5 from arcane strike. First attack correct math is shown here:
Attack Bonus is 52=36+4(GMW)+5(KD)+1(Feast)+1(Haste)+5(AS)

I edited rolls below to reflect that, you can check against logs.

Ithea surges forward, a quick slash at the demon. She hits home, tearing into its chest. The flesh of it is far harder than steel, a struggle to cut into it at all. She manages to make a long but shallow slice into it, then rears back for another attack. But as she does, the Hanged Raven explodes. She becomes a mass of cawing crows which flee in all directions, moments later reforming 35ft away from Ithea.

Ithea is able to quickly snap off her disintegrate, but it fizzles against the reformed Hanged Raven.

Your first hit got through, but she had an interrupt that foiled the rest of your full attack. Hanged Raven's up.

The noose around Ithea's neck tightens, choking the life from her all the while.

Also 6 rounds of air loss, so update that in your stat block.


Then suddenly ravens surround you all over, trying to peck and tear you apart.

It's an attack against you, going to spend inspiration?
