Fairy waltz

[Nephrite]

"It looks like your instincts were correct." Moore says. Since they seem to be invited further, he will continue on.

Can I tell what that effect was? I'll be taking 10 on Spellcraft for 109 as we go with Arcane Sight in case of shenanigans.

[Anastasia]

Some sort of spell targeted at you. A powerful divination, but even though it got past your wards, you shook it off.

[Nephrite]

He has the right to know who's in his house, after all.

Moore continues on!

[Anastasia]

The moment your party steps in the balors all stop. Hundreds of gazes turn to the party, images of hatred and rage.

Cresiel merely points his blade out at them, not a moment of hesitation. The righteous do not shirk their duty, demons. Come and accept the cold steel of my convictions.

The roar of Abyssal is deafening as chains break. As if they were suddenly little more than tissue paper. Those chains are taken as weapons, while others grab the still red from the forge weapons they work on.

Sylvie merely cracks her knuckles, "A platoon of balors? A decent warm up." She cracks a smile, "Regardless of the drawbacks, power is great to have."

This is most likely about to hit init, but a chance to react. If you take a combatty action it'll just slide right into it so in that case give me init instead.

[Nephrite]

We do not fear you. If you choose to die today against us then know that was your final action in life.

I doubt an Intimidate will get them to back off, but if it does he'll Take 10 for 136. Assuming that doesn't work though... Everyone gets +26 to their init rolls here.

I will just roll it in case it's needed as part of this action.

[12:21] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+10 init Moore
[12:21] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+54+10 init Moore --> [ 1d20=14 ]{78}

[Anastasia]

Go ahead and roll Jetina too. I'll get Cresiel and Sylvie.

[Nephrite]

Got it.

[12:28] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+7+28 Jetina
[12:28] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+7+28 Jetina --> [ 1d20=16 ]{51}

[Anastasia]

Init is Moore (78) > Sylvie (73) > Cresiel (58) > Jetina (51) > Demons (41)

> roll 1d20+47 Cresiel
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+47 Cresiel --> [ 1d20=11 ]{58}
> roll 1d20+63 Sylvie
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+63 Sylvie --> [ 1d20=10 ]{73}
> roll 1d20+22 demons
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+22 demons --> [ 1d20=19 ]{41}

Open.

[Nephrite]

His divine will didn't work at all in the area around them, so it's very likely that Divine Blast is out of the question too - which is unfortunate, since it's his only really reliable means of offense.

Nonetheless, he has a few spells up his sleeve, so... he murmurs a few magic words before sending a bolt of holy energy into the mob!

He's going to cast Gae Assail at... I dunno, he'll just pick something big and angry looking, or a mass of big and angry looking things.

[12:43] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+45+29+12 touch
[12:43] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+45+29+12 touch --> [ 1d20=1 ]{87}

Nice try, Rei!!!!

[12:44] <Nephrite> roll 25d12
[12:44] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 25d12 --> [ 25d12=153 ]{153}

Not sure if you need a CL check on it, but in case you do: [12:45] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+26 CL
[12:45] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+26 CL --> [ 1d20=3 ]{29}

That's from the Favored Soul casting side if it matters, also.

[Anastasia]

Moore casts - but the spell fizzles out, sputters and does not manifest at all.

Anything else?

[Nephrite]

"Ah... Jetina, you may have to try a bit harder with your magic here - it looks like divine magic doesn't function well." Moore says with a small shrug. "Very well, I'll figure something else out."

Nothing terribly useful for him to do at present since we all still have the bardic musics up and going.

[Anastasia]

Suddenly there is a crackle around Moore as - !

Ref.

[Nephrite]

[13:13] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+38 reflex, evasion
[13:13] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+54+38 reflex, evasion --> [ 1d20=3 ]{95}

[Anastasia]

The failed spell's energy gathers and bursts around you - but you're quick enough to avoid it, a painful faceful of magical energy dodged.

[Nephrite]

"...Watch out for that, too." Moore says. "The hatred of the divine indeed."
