Forever lies ahead

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa passes it on to the others, then follows with, 'I'll drop a Wall of Superb Dispel on the coven. That should delay them, and then I'll bring some light to this place.'

[Anastasia]

"Kill them," The marilith commands as you speak, as Jarem prepares and...

Not a lot of time to speak, so we'll just hit init.

[Iron Dragoon]

Init:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+27 : 7 + 27, total 34[/blockquote]

A ruby red shimmer surrounds Dromen as a moment later she lets out a hissing cry, as a moment later a massive, drooling mouth appears beneath the party and rushes up towards them, as if to devour you all.

> roll 1d20+40
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 51 > [d20=11]

SR?

[Iron Dragoon]

51 exactly.

[Anastasia]

Gets everyone but Bastian, who is happy he took improved spell resistance as a feat right now.

Ref all but Bastian.

[Iron Dragoon]

Ref/Cunning Inspiration/Aura of Inspiration: +18 to everyone's saves

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+64 : 19 + 64, total 83[/blockquote]

[Iron Dragoon]

Also Evasion.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+62 evasion Dolmaya the other two auto pass with the bonus in play
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 66 > [d20=4]

Everyone makes the save so only Emily regrets not having evasion.

> roll 40d8 ow
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 193 > [d8=2,2,6,7,6,2,1,2,8,5,5,8,8,3,3,6,2,1,8,1,8,7,6,8,8,3,1,6,8,7,7,6,7,1,4,7,5,2,4,2]

Secondary effect immuned. Damage is halved as well. 96 damage.

The maw tears and nips, yet Alyssa is too fast. Jarem blocks it and skids back while Dolmaya flies up and beyond - and Emily is a bit slow and has no choice but to block it, taking a bite on her side and a tear from one long fang. She shivers from the wound as...

Go, you and Dolmaya are up.

Alyssa's brow draws down in annoyance, "Let's make this as unpleasant for you as dealing with you is for us."

Swift 1: Wall of Superb Dispel Dispel (SDA Quicken), CL 38
Dropping this directly on the Coven as much as I can. I don't know the exact terrain layout here, but I'd try to make so they have no choice but to walk through it or cast through it.

Swift 2: Ectoplasmic Terrain (SDA Quicken, Purified via Rod/Staff), CL 38
Covering as much area as I can and turning the brightness up to full on, high noon daylight, gains Good descriptor.

Standard: Heal, CL 31
Target: Emily, +150 HP.

[Anastasia]

Okay, just one point now since this spell hasn't been used much - bear in mind it dispels creatures that pass through it. It does not inhibit spells cast 'through' it, including ones that have line of effect or sight pass through it. So if they walk through it it'll dispel them, but they could cast a spell through onto you freely. That match up with what you understood?

[Iron Dragoon]

No, thought it would cancel spells going through it. In that case, I'd drop it directly on them. If it doesn't send them away, then it'll dispel anything they have on them.

[Anastasia]

You can't cast it on them - the squares it would appear in for that are already occupied by them.

[Iron Dragoon]

Then just put it where it be most inconvenient for the coven.

[Anastasia]

Light fills the ground as the terrain changes, as you set up a wall. The demons as one recoil from the spell, the holy light it emanates enough to startle them. You mend Emily at the same time, who lets out a sigh of relief before Dolmaya points at Dromen before - !

> roll 1d20+44
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 47 > [d20=3]

Dolmaya's lucky day. Ray deflection is in play so she gets her chance to dispel it since she's throwing a force ray with all the trimmings.

> roll 1d20+25 the capped dispel check here hurts
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 45 > [d20=20]

Failure. I wouldn't normally roll if there's no chance of success, but I forgot that force ray's dispel was capped.

Init is Dromen (50) > Alyssa = Dolmaya (34) > Hexad Coven (28) > The Conjoined (20) > Bees (18) > Emily (17) > Bastian (15) > Demon Line (13) > Jarem (9)

Dolmaya's Force Ray fires true, but the many rays are deflected away and fizzle out, stopped. Dolmaya steps forward, an open scowl on her face, "Fine, I'll get serious," she challenges to the demon, as meanwhile the Hexad Coven chants. Dark blood begins to pour from the altar, gushing out like a newly unearthed spring.

The four conjoined creatures lumber forward, clearing ground fast, and crash fast and hard into Jarem's shield.

Also, I forgot to include smite damage. That's another 200 and 120, respectively. Base damage is 428 and 278. -30 total since it doesn't beat his DR.

> roll 428+278-30
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 676 >

Ow. He's alive but OW.

A charge. Jarem meets it, as several blades come down from it. The first is blocked, the dull tang of wood and steel meeting a parry for the blow. Yet the second and third get Jarem from each side, cutting deeply into his middle, as if to saw him down like a tree being savaged from both sides. Divine blood falls on the ground and hisses like acid on the stone, plumes of billowing gray smoke as Jarem stumbles.

You feel it in that moment, a sense of hate and malice. The raw rush of opposing divinity writ small. The conjoined horror is a divine proxy, surely empowered by the lord of this blasted Hellhole. Meanwhile the bees above gather, a swarm occuping the ceiling above, gathering numbers by the second as the hive disgorges demonic vermin.

Emily in the next post and she's about to lay down the boom, so I'll segment here.
