Sneaking into Avernus

Anastasia · May 15, 2018, 01:59:11 PM

It's not even a door - just a simple, unremarkable passage leading deeper in. Dark, gloomy and without any of the vines at all. Cold. Colder.

'This place chills my heart,' Jessica sends to you. 'It chills me to the quick.' You needed time to grow. You still do.

Perception check real quick?

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 02:04:18 PM

Seira can't help but think she grows best under adversity.

'We're getting closer to the seat of power and the dungeons containing some of that power,' Seira responds. 'It's understandable. We can't falter, however, not for a moment. We're here to do a job, and as long as Donald and Alicia are fighting outside we'll make sure their efforts aren't wasted!'

20:02 <Lucille> roll 1d20+52
20:02 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 1d20+52 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{58}

My avatar will take 10 for 61.

Around and around. This hallway whirls downward like a drain, deeper and deeper - as you hear it, from above! You leap back, dodging a massive wall of flesh blocking the way, and 20ft away one blocks the path back. Horrid things, rotting flesh with limbs and head sticking out of it in all directions. "Really, how t houghtful! I'd prefer a hot meal as far as hospitality goes, though." Elegy remarks, as...

More defenses. Init.

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 02:18:10 PM

'I'd prefer the minions didn't stand in my way,' Seira muses, taking a deep breath through the mouth....

Jessica opens.

'Can we break through?' Jessica sends to you, tersely.

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 02:34:12 PM

'We are, hold a sec,' Seira tells Jessica as she unleashes her powerful breath weapon!

K:R 10 for 77 first, though! Fire or holy? What should work better on melting the wall blocking the way ahead?

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · May 15, 2018, 02:47:12 PM

Both should serve well, but the undead always fear holy power. That's what your check tells you.

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 02:52:28 PM

20:51 <Lucille> roll 20d10
20:51 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 20d10 --> [ 20d10=81 ]{81}

Dragon breath! Very holy, so x1.5 damage here for 121.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 walls are not good at reflexing things, stunningly --> [ 1d20=11 ]{16}

The wall is blasted dead on, burning with golden light but still intact, hissing and steaming like ice under an inferno as...

Swifts?

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 03:12:12 PM

That usually means more power is needed! Seira flings an orb of it at the wall at the weakest-looking spot, where it doubles into two fiery projectile. Meanwhile, her avatar opens her own mouth and what ensues is another stream of holy power seeking to punch through the obstacle! Yellow and green energy swirls around her clockwise, and the avatar manages the same spell with almost casual ability!

Seira:
21:01 <Lucille> roll 1d20+45+10 ranged touch
21:01 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 1d20+45+10 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=3 ]{58}
21:02 <Lucille> roll 15d6+15 fiery'd quickened twinned orb of fire
21:02 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 15d6+15 fiery'd quickened twinned orb of fire --> [ 15d6=52 ]{67}

134 damage

21:02 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 20d10 --> [ 20d10=119 ]{119}

Holy, so x1.5 for 178 damage

21:07 <Lucille> roll 1d20+44+10 ranged touch
21:07 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 1d20+44+10 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=8 ]{62}
21:09 <Lucille> roll 15d6 quickened twinned orb of fire
21:09 <Kobot> Lucille rolled 15d6 quickened twinned orb of fire --> [ 15d6=45 ]{45}

Damage is 90.

If there's a hole to get past now, we still have our move actions to go through it.

The wall is pummeled but intact, gashes and burns across the center but still holding up - it looks to be thick, several feet punched through and more to go.

Init is Jessica (43) > Seira Avatar (34) > Seira (30) > Elegy (29) > Wall 2 (28) > Wall 1 (18)

Jessica takes her held action.

Jessica gestures, a glow around her as a smite of holiness blasts from above, slamming into the weakened center of the wall.

> roll 1d20+30
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{47}
> roll 10d6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 10d6 --> [ 10d6=37 ]{37}
> roll 1d20+21
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{28}

The blast buckles the wall more as Elegy rushes in, "On it, on it," he calls, slashing and hacking away.

Elegy darts forward, punching through the weakened wall. A gap! He surges through it, into it, taking a step ahead.

Walls are up in the next post.

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 03:37:54 PM

I'd like us all to move after Elegy now, since we only used standards and swifts so far and we're all effectively acting at the same time on init anyway.

Anastasia · May 15, 2018, 03:47:54 PM

With a desperate dash, the four of you dive through - and a moment later the two walls of flesh slam together, the four of you hurrying past them.

Free act for the moment.

Corwin · May 15, 2018, 03:49:20 PM

'Nasty,' Seira comments, as she and her avatar recast Sign on everyone while keeping pace onwards!

Anastasia · May 15, 2018, 03:57:21 PM

'What fun. I thought Avernus couldn't get any worse,' Elegy groans in your mind.

'Complain later,' Jessica says, 'We're on a time limit and found out, we're going into a trap as it is.'
