Okay, so my doc's office shot me an email about a reschedule. It's moved to this coming Tuesday, so we need to reschedule Tuesday since they rescheduled me. Let me know what day works better for y'all, Monday or Wednesday.

We guessed something like that. To Tuesday then, hope work sucks less.

I get this stuck in my head sometimes. It's when the guitar kicks in around 50 seconds in.

19:06 <•Kotono> There's no words in response, at least.
19:07 <Devar> "Maybe this one can't actually talk?" Devar asks, he looks to see if any birds that it might have created are doing anything.
19:08 <Skaya> "Take down the birds or they will attack everyone," Skaya tells Devar tersely, switching to water next. "Starting with Sanda."
19:08 <Skaya> OOC: This is a weird situation where we're in init but I'm the only one acting, so should I keep rolling for attack or...?
19:09 <•Kotono> The free birds nearby as hovering and flying around. OOC: Go ahead and free act for the moment.
19:10 <•Kotono> Anne stays on guard, "Maybe it can't," she allows, "Or doesn't want to."
19:12 — Skaya shoots the birds, both flying and gestalting, with jets of water!
19:12 <Skaya> OOC: A bot is required
19:12 <Devar> "Skaya, do you see anything down there that leads anywhere?" Devar asks, still above from where she jumped down. "If you can understand us, can you communicate to something else that can talk to us?"
19:13 <Skaya> "Everything is pulsing goo-flesh and birds!"
19:14 → Kobot joined (~Misukibot@996734C1.6AAED38E.C00DC4F4.IP)
19:14 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch of die birds die
19:14 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch of die birds die --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
19:15 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch of die birds die crit?!
19:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch of die birds die crit?! --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
19:15 <Skaya> roll 12d6 die for good
19:15 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 12d6 die for good --> [ 12d6=34 ]{34}
19:15 <•Kotono> Sure enough, birds do die. Water blasts send them flying, bodies broken and smashed. You've thinned out the ones about you, the floors quite wet with water and smashed, gooey birds.
19:16 <Devar> "I can see that part, maybe it can't... stop?" Devar reasons. "It isn't shooting the birds at you now anymore, is it?"
19:16 <Skaya> "It was still making them!" Skaya insists, before checking to see if that's still happening.
19:20 <•Kotono> It's no longe rdoing that. the birds are broken, the walls smashed with water. It's quiet down here, as much as anything here can be quiet.
19:22 <Skaya> "Alright, I got all of them for now," Skaya says, glancing back. "I need opinions, people. What do we do now? I'm seriously getting tired here." She's not, actually, so if the goo mimics hear her and decide to take advantage they'll just sign their own death warrants.
19:23 <Devar> Devar lets out a breath. "Maybe we can finally try and communicate with these things. Who among you has the ability to speak?" Devar asks at the hole, gesturing at his mouth. "If they keep attacking us we fight them, if they want to try and explain themselves or communicate I'm willing to hear their story."
19:24 <•Kotono> OOC: Perception Skaya, +2 bonus for the water.
19:24 <Skaya> OOC: Taking 10 for 32
19:25 <•Kotono> Hm? The water at her feet rustles and moves, splashing, as if something is moving it from below. From the floor itself.
19:26 <Skaya> "At some point, Devar," Skaya says, leaping into the air and exiting the basement, "you really need to stop giving the attacking cannibals yet another chance to talk it out. Feel free to deal with whatever's coming from below."
19:29 <Devar> Devar looks over the edge. "Sure, I don't mind."
19:31 <•Kotono> Skaya is just in time with that leap up, for the floor itself splits open. Water and more pours down another maw, so many teeth within. A huge tongue lashes up, going for Skaya fast!
19:31 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+21
19:31 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{30}
19:31 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
19:32 <•Kotono> "What's going on down-AH!" Rina scoots back from the edge as the floor becomes a mouth, "Skaya!"
19:32 <Skaya> OOC: Higher than that
19:32 <Skaya> "Go on, deal with that!"
19:34 <Devar> "Even Eldath has her limits on how much peace is offered." Devar confirms as he goes to float down into the hole. "I'm not exactly sure how one 'deals with' this, but if it's cut enough that probably works."
19:37 <•Kotono> Skaya flies out and dodges the tongue, lashing about back and forth. She's safe for the moment, but a deep, dark maw is now that floor below. "You know, I did suggest fire right off," Anne points out.
19:37 <•Kotono> "Fire's good," Rina seconds.
19:37 <•Kotono> "Fire, lots of it," LIza thirds.
19:37 <•Kotono> Sanda groans.
19:38 — Skaya still has fire capabilities, calling up flames as bright as a torch into her hand! She'll just shoot it slowly while everyone seems to gawk.
19:38 <Skaya> OOC: Produce Flame!
19:40 <•Kotono> OOC: Go for it. How much damage?
19:40 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:40 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
19:40 <Skaya> roll 1d6+5 fire
19:40 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d6+5 fire --> [ 1d6=2 ]{7}
19:41 <Skaya> OOC: Not much, but it repeats per round
19:43 <•Kotono> A blob of fire is sent down. It's swallowed to smoke rising up from the impact, as the mouth widens even more then...OOC: WE'll do init again in that case. Good luck!
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Anne
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 Anne --> [ 1d20=15 ]{20}
19:43 <Devar> roll 1d20+3
19:43 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{16}
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=12 ]{26}
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=13 ]{19}
19:43 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+4 big mouth
19:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+4 big mouth --> [ 1d20=11 ]{15}
19:44 <•Kotono> Init is Rina (26) > Anne (20) > Liza (19) > Devar (16) > Big Mouth (15) > Sanda (7)
19:44 <•Kotono> OOC: Waiting on Skaya's init.
19:44 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:44 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{32}
19:44 <•Kotono> Init is Skaya (32) > Rina (26) > Anne (20) > Liza (19) > Devar (16) > Big Mouth (15) > Sanda (7)
19:44 <•Kotono> OOC: Open.
19:44 — Skaya tests the water this time, alternating between fire and water again.
19:44 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:44 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=9 ]{23}
19:45 <Skaya> roll 8d6
19:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=30 ]{30}
19:49 <•Kotono> Water flies out, slamming into the mouth. It lets out a high pitched noise, too loud, like glass against your ears. It also doesn't stop it, even as it choked on water. That tongue lashes, as Rina peers down. OOC: She'll hold a sec, since a bunch of water isn't great for throwing fire its way. Anne's up, she'll hold since healing and no way she wants to go down there and mace smash it. Liza.
19:52 <•Kotono> LIza steps forward, "Fly fast an dtrue!" She chants, once again throwing the best spell out, one that doesn't worry about water, missing or being easily deflected. Magic missiles go!
19:52 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
19:52 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=6 ]{10}
19:52 <•Kotono> The missiles hit the maw, slamming in like twinkling stars. It's solid hits, making its tongue thrash more as...OOC: Devar.
19:54 <Devar> "If you were protecting something, I'd understand, but you're just attacking us in some vain hope of victory." Devar says, flying to strike at the tongue itself. OOC: Assuming that's a valid target - if not he'll just basically strike at the fleshy maw.
19:56 <•Kotono> OOC: Go for it.
19:57 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
19:57 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=20 ]{35}
19:57 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack???
19:57 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack??? --> [ 1d20=17 ]{32}
19:58 <Devar> OOC: I forget if these are crit immune or not
19:58 <Skaya> OOC: Only stun immune, I've been critting them
19:58 <Devar> OOC: Oh that is a fair point
19:59 <Devar> roll 2d8+12
19:59 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2d8+12 --> [ 2d8=8 ]{20}
20:00 <•Kotono> With one slice, Devar cuts the tongue down to size. Most of it falls away, the rest flopping about, greatly shortened. A near perfect move, leaving the short tongue to ooze impotently as it wiggles and waggles. OOC: Nice move. Sanda's still not really in combat shape, so Skaya, go.
20:01 <Skaya> Water seems to work better, so Skaya keeps at it!
20:01 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:01 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
20:01 <Skaya> roll 8d6
20:01 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=23 ]{23}
20:07 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+13
20:07 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}
20:07 <•Kotono> More water chokes the maw, slamming and pulverizing it. It hacks and wheezes, struggling against it as Skaya fires away. Meanwhile Rina dashes back and looks out the door, "We have a problem!" OOC: Anne.
20:07 <Skaya> "What is it?"
20:07 <•Kotono> "Now what?" Anne calls back.
20:11 <•Kotono> "There's one of them outside, but it's a giant bull," Rina calls back, "It's huge!"
20:14 <Skaya> "I can probably deal with one of them myself," Skaya says tersely. "Figure out how to deal with the other one, and choose which one to face."
20:14 <•Kotono> As Anne meanwhile holds and awits, LIza keeps on firing missiles below. "I'll finish this one off," she calls.
20:14 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4
20:14 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=15 ]{19}
20:14 <•Kotono> The missiles slam home hard, making it thrash even more. It's battered good, LIza holding her ground as...OOC: Devar.
20:16 <Devar> "All you had to do was talk and not resort to violence." Devar says, flying to strike what's still left of this creature.
20:16 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
20:16 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=20 ]{35}
20:16 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack??????????
20:16 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack?????????? --> [ 1d20=20 ]{35}
20:16 <Devar> roll 2d8+12 fine Kobot, I'll accept this today
20:16 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2d8+12 fine Kobot, I'll accept this today --> [ 2d8=6 ]{18}
20:18 <•Kotono> Devar dives down, a drect stab right into what's left. He plunges into the floor, just above the maw. His sword penetrates down to the hilt, as a horribe screech sounds. The tongue finally goes still, however, the beast beaten. Ooze begins welling up from the maw, joining the water already on the ground. OOC: Free act, that's one way to end it.
20:18 — Skaya heads outside! If there's a mimic bull, she has to kill it!
20:19 <Devar> Devar says a prayer to Eldath and flies up to go after Skaya.
20:21 <•Kotono> The party rushes outside-! It's a bull, in a sense. In the same way a calf is a cow. This thing is gigantic, big as some of the buildings. Where did it come from!? It's about 100ft away and closing in at a gallop, head bowed and sword-like horns projected outward. Those horns split open as yo uwatch, becoming mouths big enough to swallow any one of you whole. Incoming! OOC: INit again, it be
20:21 <•Kotono> mad.
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda just wants regenerate
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda just wants regenerate --> [ 1d20=5 ]{5}
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Anne wants fire
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 Anne wants fire --> [ 1d20=18 ]{23}
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina wants a drink
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina wants a drink --> [ 1d20=2 ]{16}
20:21 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
20:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{16}
20:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza wants out of here
20:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza wants out of here --> [ 1d20=12 ]{18}
20:21 <Devar> roll 1d20+3
20:21 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{18}
20:22 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+8 Bull
20:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 Bull --> [ 1d20=5 ]{13}
20:22 <Skaya> "Anne, take Sanda way up and stay out of things unless there's no other way," Skaya says as soon as she lays eyes on the situation.
20:22 <•Kotono> Init is Anne (23) > Liza = Devar (18) > Rina = Skaya (16) > Bull (13) > Sanda (5)
20:23 <•Kotono> Anne wastes no time, doing exactly that. She flie sstraight up with Sanda, who lets out a soft, pained noise as they escape upwards. OOC: LIza'n'Devar.
20:25 <Devar> "Want me to engage it or do so once it gets a bit closer?" Devar asks.
20:25 <Skaya> "Let's try to deal with this as quickly as possible."
20:27 <Devar> He can't quite make the distance as it is, so he simply flies slightly forward and waits! OOC: Flying like 5ft forward and holding my action if it gets close enough to do anything.
20:35 <•Kotono> Liza does the same, preparing for now with Devar. Rina likewise waits to intercept it, no one willing to go challenge it before it gets here. Skaya, go. It's got a greeting ready for it.
20:36 <Skaya> Well then. Skaya tries to hit it with a focused jet of water. Just because everything had been susceptible to it thus far here doesn't mean this will keep on happening. Better to find out now!
20:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=2 ]{16}
20:37 <Skaya> roll 8d6
20:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=22 ]{22}
20:39 <•Kotono> The bull somehow dodges. In spite of its huge size, it's startlingly fast and reactive, to an uncanny degree. It makes an outright leap, not breaking stride as it avoids the jet altogether. It barrels ahead, closing sixty feet of distance, now only forty feet away. OOC: IF a nyone wants to take hels in response to that, say so. For PCs I think that's just Devar.
20:41 <Devar> That's close enough! Devar will fly forward, aiming to strike at one of its legs, if he's able to at least slow it down, that will help the rest of the group! OOC: Basically flying to the side of its path to strike a leg.
20:41 <Devar> roll 1d20+15 whack
20:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15 whack --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
20:42 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 assuming that hit
20:42 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 assuming that hit --> [ 1d8=2 ]{9}
20:45 <•Kotono> Ack! The gooey body flows around the blade, dodging it with unnatural grace and speed. Rina's right with you, gliding past it's other side and trying the same.
20:45 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
20:45 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{30}
20:45 <•Kotono> No good, again. It dodges in the exact same way, avoiding the attack altogether. "Nothing!" Rina calls back, as...OOC: More.
20:45 <•Kotono> Init is Anne (23) > Liza (18) > Skaya (16) > Bull = Rina = Devar (13) > Sanda (5)
20:46 <•Kotono> Liza pulls out a scroll at this, "Fine," she snaps, before a bolt of pure electricity flies from her finger, going right for the bull.
20:46 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+15 ref it ain't heavy on its feet
20:46 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+15 ref it ain't heavy on its feet --> [ 1d20=10 ]{25}
20:47 <•Kotono> No good. It evades it altogether, dodging the lightning with far too much speed. It moves like liquid, dodging around it and not even pretending to be remotely normal. INside you can see teeth and goo, and more things you really don't want to see. OOC: Skaya.
20:49 <Skaya> "Dodge this," Skaya tells the bull, pulling over the Staff of Necromancy and pointing it in its general direction. Didn't it want to come closer? Then let it taste the Waves of Exhaustion!
20:50 <Skaya> OOC: It's a 60ft cone, I'll make sure only the bull is hit. No save, just SR.
20:51 <Skaya> OOC: Moves at half speed, -6 to str and to dex. Probably can't run or charge since it's a more severe Fatigued status.
20:52 <•Kotono> The bull sags deeply. Its as if a lot of the fight left it all at once, sapped away. Just in time, because it turns on Devar being closest and...OOC: All three of you are up. Devar, Rina and the ibg bull. Go.
20:54 <Devar> Devar was curious if there might be magic on this thing, but for now he'll just try pressing an attack since he's flanked with Rina!
20:54 <Devar> roll 1d20+15+2 whack
20:54 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15+2 whack --> [ 1d20=15 ]{32}
20:54 <Devar> roll 1d20+10+2 whack
20:54 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10+2 whack --> [ 1d20=1 ]{13}
20:55 <•Kotono> OOC: One hit.
20:55 <Devar> OOC: hooray
20:55 <Devar> roll 1d8+7 whackadoo
20:55 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d8+7 whackadoo --> [ 1d8=8 ]{15}
21:01 <•Kotono> Devar's blade deftly slices through part of it. Flesh that is torn, not fixing itself right away. At the same time it strikes back at him, swinging wild and wide, horns going for him.
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+19 (-3 exhausted)
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+19 (-3 exhausted) --> [ 1d20=4 ]{23}
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+19 (-3 exhausted)
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+19 (-3 exhausted) --> [ 1d20=15 ]{34}
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+14 (-3 exhausted)
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 (-3 exhausted) --> [ 1d20=15 ]{29}
21:01 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+14 (-3 exhausted)
21:01 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 (-3 exhausted) --> [ 1d20=6 ]{20}
21:01 <•Kotono> OOC: AC?
21:02 <Devar> OOC: 39 against melee attacks specifically at the moment, also it needs to make a 24 DC will save or be dazzled and have -3 attack rolls
21:05 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+10
21:05 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
21:05 <•Kotono> Light shines as Devar dodges again and again. He dodges the now slower monster, at the same time as Rina slashes away at its side, running past.
21:05 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
21:05 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}
21:06 <•Kotono> A slash too high as she passes by, missing it entirely. Meanwhile Sanda and Anne are still up above, as Skaya...OOC: Go.
21:06 — Skaya aims carefully with the Feybone Arcana. Let's see how well the bull's defenses hold while it's in battle!
21:07 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+1+7 haste and inspiration, ranged touch
21:07 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+1+7 haste and inspiration, ranged touch --> [ 1d20=11 ]{33}
21:07 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:07 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=26 ]{26}
21:07 — Skaya moves over just short of melee range, next, ready to take over for Rina as her own combat style is more of a hit and run.
21:11 <•Kotono> This time it's a direct hit. The bull's knocked back hard by the spray, unable to dodge it now. It reels from the hit, almost knocked over. At the same time Liza approaches, throwing a small glass vial right at it.
21:11 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+11
21:11 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{25}
21:11 <•Kotono> roll 6d4
21:11 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 6d4 --> [ 6d4=14 ]{14}
21:12 <•Kotono> Whatever it is, it shatters on the bull. Steam risesup from it immediately, bubbling green-brown acid eating through its back. Its eating through good as Devar...OOC: You three are up again, go.
21:14 <Devar> Devar makes his attacks anew!
21:14 <Devar> roll 1d20+15+2 whack
21:14 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15+2 whack --> [ 1d20=1 ]{18}
21:14 <Devar> roll 1d20+10+2 whack
21:14 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10+2 whack --> [ 1d20=7 ]{19}
21:20 <•Kotono> Yet neither can close in and strike successfully. Even exhausted it resists, and trades blows with him as its pinned and weakened, half blinded.
21:20 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+16
21:20 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{20}
21:20 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+16
21:20 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{29}
21:20 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+11
21:20 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{24}
21:20 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+11
21:20 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{30}
21:21 <•Kotono> Not a blow lands, thrashing and swinging its head around. It's good and in trouble as Rina comes back, stabbing at its flanks now. "Go down!"
21:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
21:21 <•Kotono> roll 1d6+3+1d6+3d6
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+3+1d6+3d6 --> [ 1d6=1 1d6=5 3d6=9 ]{18}
21:21 <•Kotono> A solid blow, thrusting in. Not fatal, but deep and one that oozes more as she cries, "Finish it off!" OOC: OOC: Liza and Skaya, go.
21:23 — Skaya moves into melee to flank with Devar as she stabs the bull repeatedly!
21:23 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7+2 haste, inspiration, flanking
21:23 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7+2 haste, inspiration, flanking --> [ 1d20=9 ]{32}
21:23 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7+2 haste, inspiration, flanking

21:23 <Skaya> roll 1d20+9+7+2 haste, inspiration, flanking
21:23 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+9+7+2 haste, inspiration, flanking --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}
21:24 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #1
21:24 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #1 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=5 ]{24}
21:24 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #2
21:24 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #2 --> [ 3d6=4 1d8=6 ]{16}
21:24 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #
21:24 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit # --> [ 3d6=10 1d8=2 ]{18}
21:28 <•Kotono> OOC: All but the last hit, yes.
21:33 <•Kotono> Skaya stabs away and again. It's resisting, whirling about on all sides, but is surrounded. Blood is drawn before it tries something, opening its mouth wide at Skaya as...OOC: All three of you are up, go.
21:33 <•Kotono> A massive gush of ooze comes flying at Skaya's face. DODGE! OOC: Evasion.
21:33 <Skaya> OOC: Liza is not going?
21:33 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+1+7 evasion
21:33 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+1+7 evasion --> [ 1d20=13 ]{35}
21:35 <Devar> Devar continues to strike, hopefully finishing this thing off!
21:35 <Devar> roll 1d20+15+2 whack
21:35 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+15+2 whack --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
21:35 <Devar> roll 1d20+10+2 whack
21:35 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+10+2 whack --> [ 1d20=10 ]{22}
21:35 <Devar> OOC: I am not good at goopy things
21:35 <•Kotono> OOC: You really aren't. Liza's holding to conserve money and resources, since you all seem to have it in hand.
21:36 <•Kotono> SKaya evades the blast entirely as Devar swings in vain, but it gives Rina a chance to repeat, dashing by again as...
21:36 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+18
21:36 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{21}
21:36 <•Kotono> Not that she's any better, no one at all hitting. Not even close as...OOC: Skaya and Liza, go. Liza will go this time if Skaya doesn't finish it off.
21:37 — Skaya reserves some of her power in case she'll need to dodge in a hurry, and just tries to strike the bull's weak spots!
21:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking
21:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking --> [ 1d20=17 ]{33}
21:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking
21:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking --> [ 1d20=17 ]{33}
21:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking
21:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+2 haste, flanking --> [ 1d20=19 ]{35}
21:37 <Skaya> roll 1d20+9+2 haste, flanking
21:37 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+9+2 haste, flanking --> [ 1d20=4 ]{15}
21:38 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 #1
21:38 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #1 --> [ 3d6=14 1d8=2 ]{22}
21:38 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 #2
21:38 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #2 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=3 ]{22}
21:38 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 #3
21:38 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 #3 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=1 ]{19}
21:42 <•Kotono> Three slashes to its weakened body, the last a deep stab into its chest. The bull lets out a far too high pitched noise before it collapses over. The ground shakes from the impact, massive. Down it goes, down and not moving anymore. Rina takes a long breath after, "Stay down." OOC: Free act.
21:43 <Skaya> "Please check if the others combined to make this trash," Skaya says, taking to the air to look from an elevated viewpoint.
21:44 <Devar> Devar shakes his head, flying over to the creature to inspect it. "I'm not sure how we'd be able to tell that, but..."
21:47 <•Kotono> It looks like one whole creature. Skaya flies up. Most of the smaller creatures are in hiding, it seems. Perhaps they fled. At the least, they aren't pressing an attack or showing themselves.
21:48 — Skaya decides to check out one of the buildings she saw them hide in previously.
21:52 <•Kotono> As Devar does that, "What a monstrous thing," LIza sniffs, "Powerful it was, but all brute strength."
21:52 <•Kotono> Skaya goes to fly over. AS she does...OOC: Sounds like sometime you'd wnat some Perception, don't you think?
21:52 <Devar> "Still, what in the world are these things?" Devar asks. "Clearly not just regular mimics..."
21:52 <Skaya> OOC: 10 for 30
21:57 <•Kotono> "I don't know. What we saw down there, this is something that's growing here." LIza rubs her arms, color pale.
21:58 <•Kotono> Skaya flies over. What she sees there shocks here, a moment of horror that comes...next time!

19:09 <Kotono> By and large, they're dodging and hiding rather than responding to that.
19:11 — Skaya focuses on the nearest one and shoots it full of water! Since they can communicate but refuse to surrender, what else can she do with a bunch of cannibal mimics?
19:11 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:11 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
19:11 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch cirt?
19:11 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch cirt? --> [ 1d20=9 ]{23}
19:11 <Skaya> roll 8d6 if hit
19:11 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 if hit --> [ 8d6=32 ]{32}
19:11 <Skaya> roll 16d6 if crit
19:11 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 16d6 if crit --> [ 16d6=47 ]{47}
19:12 <Kotono> OOC: Hold your horses on the attack roll a sec.
19:14 <Kotono> It's not too hard to see with the aerial perspective. All the party can see something come from a building on the far side of the village. Birds fly out of that building. Not one, not ten, not a hundred. Far more, pouring out, taking to the skies and darting up towards the party. It's an array of birds, coloful and bright.
19:16 <Skaya> OOC: Can I use that attack to shoot them instead, then?
19:18 <Kotono> OOC: You can attack them if yu want, sure.
19:19 <Skaya> OOC: Does that crit on them?
19:21 <Kotono> Yes.
19:21 <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
19:21 <Skaya> roll 12d6 BIRDS
19:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 12d6 BIRDS --> [ 12d6=44 ]{44}
19:26 <Kotono> The blast comes, knocking quite a few birds away. The problem is that there's a great many, and for every one blasted aside, more pour out. "Where are they even coming from?" Anne scowls, as more and more rise up, ascending towards the party fast. OOC: Okay, I'm going to call for init here for organization reasons.
19:26 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:26 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{29}
19:27 <Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda
19:27 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda --> [ 1d20=14 ]{14}
19:28 <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Anne
19:28 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 Anne --> [ 1d20=10 ]{15}
19:28 <Devar> roll 1d20+3 Devar
19:28 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 Devar --> [ 1d20=5 ]{8}
19:28 <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina
19:28 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
19:28 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
19:28 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=16 ]{22}
19:28 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 birds
19:28 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 birds --> [ 1d20=10 ]{16}
19:29 <Kotono> Init is Skaya (29) > Liza (22) > Rina (19) > Birds (16) > Anne (15) > Sanda (14) > Devar (8)
19:29 <Kotono> OOC: Skaya, open.
19:32 <Skaya> Skaya pauses in thought, before putting up a Wind Wall to block the door and any windows near it from that building. It will blow away any bird smaller than an eagle further inside, no doubt crushing them against other birds further in, and even the larger birds won't be able to cross that barrier unless they're human-sized! And the best part is, if they try to use another window on the opposite wall, Skaya is not the only one who can
19:32 <Skaya> use Wind Wall!
19:35 <Kotono> The wind wall manifests, blocking one exit point of the birds. It buys the party time as Liza likewise holds position, not in a situation to easily do much. Same with Rina, really. OOC: The peril of not being fliers. Birds are up.
19:38 <Kotono> Birds wind out, all that got out before that wall was blocked. While some try coming out of other sides of the building, the ones that are out and not splashed with water form a flock of them, ascending towards Skaya. They aren't there yet, but they're moving at a good clip. OOC: Anne.
19:38 <Kotono> Anne does the same in the meantime, blocking off the other big side of the building with another wind wall just as a few birds start to escape it. Good enough to pen them in further, as Sanda softly moans, still in terrible shape if stable. OOC: Devar go.
19:40 <Devar> Devar will fly forward, aiming to try and thin out the birds with some magic! OOC: Moving to get closer, then Lightning Bolt at as many birds as he can at once.
19:41 <Devar> roll 8d6 DC 22 Reflex half lightning bzzt
19:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 8d6 DC 22 Reflex half lightning bzzt --> [ 8d6=24 ]{24}
19:42 <Kotono> roll 1d20+7
19:42 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{20}
19:42 <Kotono> Lightning flies, zapping the birds. Quite a few are fried, falling to the ground and oozing goo from where they're hit. There's still far more however, even if a chunk of them are gone. OOC: Skaya.
19:43 — Skaya can only shoot the birds some more!
19:44 <Skaya> OOC: I have no idea if they're functionally a swarm, or if the multi-target option of the Feybone has a limit of X targets, so I'll just keep at it
19:44 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
19:44 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
19:44 <Skaya> roll 6d6
19:44 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=19 ]{19}
19:48 <Kotono> Another spray of water flays away more birds. They fall, winds broken and bodies smashed. You'r emaking steady headway getting them down, enough that the remainder break apart and star to flee, rather than continuing to advance. With the building sealed up with wind walls mostly, you seem to have staunched this attack against the party. OOC: Free act for the moment, that was well done.
19:49 <Skaya> "Let's take a look at what's generating those birds within?" Skaya tells Devar and Liza. Hopefully, they won't need Sanda's help for that.
19:50 <Devar> "If they refuse every avenue of communication and won't surrender, we don't have a choice." Devar says with a nod of agreement.
19:54 <Kotono> "No choice," Anne swoops in, "Those wind walls won't last forever, either."
19:54 — Skaya leads the way to that building to take a closer look. And hopefully Devar can look for magic!
19:54 <Kotono> Meanwhile the party ascends down. Right now nothing immediate is happening in response, as Devar gets closer. The house itself doesn't radiate magic on a quick glance, but the walls would hide anything within, most likely.
19:55 <Skaya> "Let's take a quick glance inside. The wind won't stop us, but should block all but the exceptionally huge birds away," Skaya proposes, doing just that and taking a look through the door.
19:56 <Devar> "If you have the sentience to understand us, then it's in your best interests to relent these attacks." Devar says to the building and around, as he nods and goes to follow Skaya's lead. "I don't see anything magical on the otuside."
19:59 <Kotono> OOC: Just for my reference, how close are you getting to the building?
20:00 <Skaya> OOC: All the way into melee range, then entering the door if it didn't try to eat me
20:03 <Kotono> The house doesn't try to eat you. Everything seems to be staying away. The door'se ven there, and inside, past the wind wall, you can see a great man birds penned inside. They don't look happy, as much as birds look anything.
20:04 — Skaya pushes past the door, shoots water at the birds and then retreats!
20:05 <Skaya> OOC: I'll get just past it, maybe 1ft, and since Travel Devotion is still in effect I'll retreat after shooting
20:05 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:05 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
20:05 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:05 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=22 ]{22}
20:06 <Skaya> OOC: Aside from thinning the numbers, the other goal is to see where they're coming from once there's less of them
20:09 <Kotono> OOC: Through the wind wall in front of it?
20:09 <Skaya> OOC: Yes, I'm stepping through the wind wall, shooting, and stepping back.
20:15 <Kotono> That gets the birds attention. Skaya does so, but some of them try darting at her, trying to strike her in retort.
20:15 <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
20:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}
20:15 <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 ow
20:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 ow --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
20:15 <Kotono> roll 1d6+4 ow
20:15 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+4 ow --> [ 1d6=1 ]{5}
20:16 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 4+100/100 (+6AC/+4 vs melee, GMW+2, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
20:16 <Kotono> OW! A bird flies right in Skaya's face when she steps in, timed perfectly. She still gets her shot off, but the bird knocks her back a moment after. Nothing's broken and nothing False Life didnt' cover, but that was definitely a bird to the face.
20:16 <Skaya> OOC: By how much did I thin them out? 10%? Half? Not even 1%? Did I see where the birds are coming from?
20:17 <Kotono> "You okay?" Rina asks as Skaya looks. They're thinning out from that, but there's till more surging from further inside.
20:17 <Skaya> "Yeah, just a lucky hit. I'm gonna just step in for now. Devar, how about following me inside?"
20:18 — Skaya walks through the doorway and then uses the Feybone to clear a path further inside. Time to take a look what's there!
20:18 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:18 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=12 ]{26}
20:18 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:18 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=20 ]{20}
20:18 <Skaya> OOC: I can move quite a lot, so once the path is clear I'll step in. I can accept an AoO.
20:26 <Kotono> More birds are bashed and broken, the rest retreating back. They indeed attack Skaya on entering, the remainder going right for her.
20:26 <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
20:26 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}
20:26 <Kotono> roll 1d20+10 ow again
20:26 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 ow again --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
20:26 <Kotono> roll 1d6+4 birds man birds
20:26 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d6+4 birds man birds --> [ 1d6=6 ]{10}
20:26 Skaya set the topic: Skaya: 94/100 (+6AC/+4 vs melee, GMW+2, Sanda's bracers of +4CON) Devar 113/113 Anne 83/83 Sanda 60/60 Rina 85/85
20:26 <Kotono> WHAM! Bird to the side of the head, again. This time it knocks Skaya silly momentarily, a loud THUD as one rattles her head. That one crumpled to the ground, broken from the impact.
20:27 <Skaya> It's nothing compared to what Sanda went through! And her friend is still suffering because they can't find a moment of quiet in this cursed place, so Skaya forges into the house in search of the source of these birds, while thinning them out as she goes.
20:27 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:27 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
20:27 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:27 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=22 ]{22}
20:32 <Kotono> More birds fall as Skaya leads the way. So what if birds try to ram into her? She's w iping them out fast, most fleeing. A few potshots is the cost of doing bird business.
20:32 <Kotono> roll 3#1d20+10
20:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 3#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{18}, [ 1d20=7 ]{17}, [ 1d20=18 ]{28}
20:32 <Kotono> Not that any hit her thistime, the lucky shots done with. The way ahead's clear, more or less.
20:33 — Skaya takes care to clear any bird she finds, although she has to wonder. Shouldn't there be a constant flow of new birds? How is she supposed to find their origin without it?
20:33 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:33 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
20:33 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:33 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=25 ]{25}
20:38 <Kotono> OOC: Devar, were you following or staying outside?
20:39 <Devar> OOC: He will go in with Skaya
20:43 <Kotono> More birds are swept aside. Yuou press inwards - there! In a hallway the floor has been torn open. Birds fly up out of it, more and more as they're 20ft away. A cloud of them is gathering, coming up from below. "What in?" Rina calls out as Sanda staggers, leaning on Anne as she goes.
20:45 — Skaya shoots at the birds before advancing! If they attack, she'll be the vanguard!
20:45 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=9 ]{23}
20:45 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:45 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=17 ]{17}
20:47 <Kotono> That's strong enough to knock them away...before a massive surge erupts out! This time there's a whole lot of birds, a demented screech and caw before, "Too many birds!" Anne yelps, free hand warding her and Sanda with her mace. OOC: Unfortunately you have a case of the birds. Init again.
20:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20 Sanda
20:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20 Sanda --> [ 1d20=2 ]{2}
20:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Anne
20:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 Anne --> [ 1d20=6 ]{11}
20:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 Liza
20:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 Liza --> [ 1d20=17 ]{23}
20:47 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 birds
20:47 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 birds --> [ 1d20=8 ]{14}
20:48 <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Rina
20:48 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+14 Rina --> [ 1d20=9 ]{23}
20:48 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
20:48 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{22}
20:48 <Devar> roll 1d20+3 anti bird devar
20:48 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 anti bird devar --> [ 1d20=12 ]{15}
20:50 <Skaya> "Burning Hands, Rina!" Skaya calls out. "No time like the present! I'll deal with any fires you start!"
20:51 <Kotono> Init is Liza = Rina (23) > Skaya (22) > Devar (15) > Birds (14) > Anne (11) > Sanda (2)
20:56 <Kotono> Rina steps to Skaya's side, extending her hands out as jets of fire come forth to burn at the birds.
20:56 <Kotono> roll 5d4
20:56 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 5d4 --> [ 5d4=12 ]{12}
20:57 <Kotono> roll 1d20+7
20:57 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{16}
20:57 <Kotono> The flames lick at the birds, scorching them further. The walls sizzle as Liza stays back, holding for now. OOC: She doesn't have quite the right tool in the toolkit here, at least in close quarters, so she'll hold for the moment. Skaya, go.
20:59 <Skaya> Didn't Liza have a few scrolls of Fireball? That was already more than enough, they've been in these successive battles for a while now. Skaya shoots the birds with water before boldly advancing into their midst, scorpion kama drawn! If they try to pass her, she'll have to cut a few!
20:59 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14 ranged touch
20:59 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=8 ]{22}
20:59 <Skaya> roll 6d6
20:59 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=19 ]{19}
21:00 <Skaya> OOC: Specifically, 7 AoOs
21:05 <Kotono> More birds blasted aside as Skaya advances in, a great many of them dive bombing her as she presses in as water does its job. OOC: Go fo rthem.
21:05 <Skaya> roll 7#1d20+13
21:05 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 7#1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{28}, [ 1d20=20 ]{33}, [ 1d20=7 ]{20}, [ 1d20=18 ]{31}, [ 1d20=3 ]{16}, [ 1d20=17 ]{30}, [ 1d20=9 ]{22}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13 crit?
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 crit? --> [ 1d20=19 ]{32}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #1
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #1 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=3 ]{21}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 6d6+12+2d8 crit #2
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 6d6+12+2d8 crit #2 --> [ 6d6=23 2d8=5 ]{40}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #3
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #3 --> [ 3d6=14 1d8=6 ]{26}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #4
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #4 --> [ 3d6=9 1d8=2 ]{17}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #5
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #5 --> [ 3d6=13 1d8=6 ]{25}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #6
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #6 --> [ 3d6=10 1d8=7 ]{23}
21:06 <Skaya> roll 3d6+6+1d8 hit #7
21:06 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+6+1d8 hit #7 --> [ 3d6=11 1d8=5 ]{22}
21:11 <Kotono> What follows is a brutal string of strikes. Birds that approach are swept down, broken and beaten. They're forced back by it, at least for now as she advances. They litter the ground as the walls smoke from Rina's spell. OOC: Devar, go.
21:14 <Devar> "Cease this madness!" Devar shouts, moving further in with Skaya to support her. "We're only still fighting because you won't stop, stop damning the rest of whatever it is that is here to folly!" OOC: I'm not sure if there's anything to attack at this point so he's basically just standing near her to prevent her from getting mobbed.
21:17 <Kotono> OOC: Give me an intimidation check, +2 bonus, Devar.
21:20 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 31 then
21:20 <Devar> OOC: spoopy paladin
21:32 <Kotono> Devar's words are heard, or at leats enought that the flow of birds sputters out. Not enough rise up to press the attack, at least righta way. Anne keeps supporting Sanda, as...OOC: Sanda holds for obvious reasons. Rina and Rina will hold pending what Skaya does. Go Skaya.
21:32 <Kotono> OOC: LIza and Rina, rather.
21:32 — Skaya heads down! If the birds stopped, then they stopped. She'll just use the chance to see where they originated from.
21:42 <Kotono> Peeking over, Skaya can see it's a rough basement below. The walls are lined with pulsing, throbbing goo-flesh. Birds grow in hanging, transparent flesh sacs from the walls beinga ssembled out of goo before your eyes.
21:43 <Skaya> OOC: Are they still growing?
21:46 <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
21:47 <Skaya> "Stop growing these birds at once or we fight to the death!" Skaya dictates. She can't just attack after Devar issued his ultimatum, but the enemy really must follow through or the deal's off!
21:51 <Kotono> OOC: Throw in your own intimidate check, +4 bonus this time.
21:52 <Skaya> OOC: I'll take 10 for 30, here
21:58 <Kotono> The birds do not stop growing.
21:59 <Skaya> "Fine." Skaya faces as many bird sacks as she can manage to get with Burning Hands and sets them on fire!
22:00 <Skaya> roll 5d4 Ref DC16 half
22:00 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 5d4 Ref DC16 half --> [ 5d4=12 ]{12}
22:01 <Kotono> OOC: Going to add anything to that, Devar? Just asking since I'm about to pause us, so I can resolve it all at once next session.
22:02 <Devar> "If you can talk, now is the time." Devar says, harshly. "This is your last chance."
22:02 <Devar> OOC: Donezo

21:12 <•Kotono> The tongue is hit and it recoils back, interrupted. It falls down and collapses into ooze, most of which that flows back into the form of the giant building. As this happens Devar descends, rejoining the group. "Dangerous, isn't it?" Anne remarks as Skaya manages to avoid the worst.
21:13 <Devar> "They can fly now?!"
21:14 <Skaya> "I hoped to make it crash to the ground from a height, but that didn't seem to do much damage to it, surprisingly," Skaya muses. "Also, I feel like I can't affect it much-- ah yes, it grew wings. Try using lightning on it once it flies again? Maybe they have an element they're really weak against."
21:18 <•Kotono> "Worth a try," Anne agrees as it continues to slowly rise up, more and more. Not good flight, not worthwhile flight, but still off the ground.
21:20 <Skaya> Holding up the Feybone Arcana, Skaya attempts to target the fake building's wings. Perhaps then it will fall and splatter properly?
21:20 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15 ranged touch
21:20 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=18 ]{33}
21:21 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:21 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=37 ]{37}
21:21 <Devar> Devar calls up his half-elemental status to conjure a bolt of lightning! OOC: Call Lightning. He, too, will aim at the wings with it.
21:22 <Devar> roll 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex
21:22 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex --> [ 3d6=12 ]{12}
21:23 <•Kotono> roll1 d20+8
21:23 <Kobot> Kotono rolled d20+8 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{18}
21:23 <•Kotono> Two blasts hit the creature. Those wings shudder and give way, the house falling in a near tumble. Not q uite, enough juice in them to break the fall, but it still hits the ground and is no longer ascending.
21:25 <Skaya> "Tedious that it is, I think I can only keep on attacking it at extreme range with water," Skaya admits. "And if more than one of them attempts to fly up, we might have to retreat."
21:27 <Devar> "Oh, there were some smaller villages a bit of a ways away, not that we intend to retreat, but just for the record." Devar says. "I have no idea where we are, there don't appear to be any noteworthy landmarks around... not that it's really a pressing matter, given, you know." He gestures down at the house.
21:27 <•Kotono> It's not flying now at least, but moving and trying to gather itself back up, as it moves as fast and evasively as a giant house can. Which isn't much, really.
21:28 — Skaya just keeps targetting it!
21:28 <Skaya> OOC: Should I keep rolling for attack?
21:28 <•Kotono> OOC: Go for it, make another attack.
21:28 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15 ranged touch
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=3 ]{18}
21:28 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:28 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=35 ]{35}
21:28 <•Kotono> OOC: How far up are y'all?
21:28 <Skaya> OOC: I'm 180ft up
21:29 <Skaya> OOC: Anne should be much higher, Devar is presumably near me with Liza
21:29 <Devar> OOC: Devar will keep zapping it with lightning bolts since the spell lasts for a while.
21:29 <Devar> roll 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex
21:29 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex --> [ 3d6=11 ]{11}
21:32 <•Kotono> roll1 d20+8
21:32 <Kobot> Kotono rolled d20+8 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{28}
21:33 <•Kotono> More blasts hit it. It manages to avoid the lightning in part, then its side-maw opens wide. A huge glob of ooze is fire up, right at Skaya. DODGE! OOC: Ref save, Skaya.
21:33 <Skaya> roll 1d20+14+7 evasion
21:33 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+14+7 evasion --> [ 1d20=5 ]{26}
21:33 <Skaya> OOC: +1 for 27
21:39 <•Kotono> Just barely Skaya reacts in time, flying up. Zipping up, out of range as the gloop rises up and then cascades down. It rains down, missing Skaya. Whew!
21:40 <Skaya> Breathing a bit heavily, Skaya can only keep on fighting! Even if it's a weird house-shaped ooze-based swarm, eventually it will all get washed out! For sure!
21:40 <Skaya> roll 1d20+15 ranged touch
21:40 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+15 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=3 ]{18}
21:40 <Skaya> roll 8d6
21:40 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 8d6 --> [ 8d6=17 ]{17}
21:41 <Devar> Devar will continue to bolt it!
21:41 <Devar> roll 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex
21:41 <Kobot> Devar rolled 3d6 lightning, DC 22 reflex --> [ 3d6=9 ]{9}
21:46 <•Kotono> roll1 d20+8
21:46 <Kobot> Kotono rolled d20+8 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{9}
21:47 <•Kotono> More hits. The building lands hard again and lets out a too high pitched screech, before slumping down. It's not moving any more.
21:47 — Skaya shoots it again just to be sure, before taking stock of the other buildings. How many are there? Are they the same size? Are they growing wings?
21:54 <•Kotono> They're smaller and they're hiding, using other buildings for cover. It's as if the entire village is waiting for a storm to go away.
21:56 <Skaya> "There... seem to be actual, regular buildings down below," Skaya says in disbelief. "I'll go investigate!" She decides to drop down to the edge of the village where the least of the hiding building are and see if they intend to charge her or run away.
21:57 <Devar> "This is normally that part in the religious passages where they preach tolerance and peace to help people on a path of redemption... but I don't think that sort of ethos covers this situation." Devar says as he watches Skaya go down.
22:00 <•Kotono> "It really doesn't," Anne agrees, "You don't argue with a hungry mountain lion that wants to eat you." OOC: Perception, Skaya.
22:00 <Skaya> OOC: 10 for 30
22:02 <Devar> "No, but what do you do about the mountain lion's cubs?" Devar asks. "This situation just doesn't sit right with me, but they attacked us first, regardless."
22:07 <•Kotono> "What do you about a lemure or a dretch?" Anne asks, voice softening, "Sometimes all you can do is to protect others."
22:07 <•Kotono> Skaya looks about. The hiding buildings simply seem to be avoiding her altogether, at least based on how they move away from her.
22:08 <Devar> "Isn't there a story about someone like that being redeemed?" Devar asks. "Starre's patron, right? I understand your point, though."
22:08 <Skaya> "Surrender!" Skaya declares. Now that they've achieved superiority over them, perhaps the tedious clean up can be avoided. And hadn't they been capable of intelligent speech before?
22:12 <•Kotono> OOC: Give me intimidate check, Skaya.
22:12 <Skaya> roll 1d20+16+8
22:12 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+16+8 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{30}
22:14 <•Kotono> Skaya word hangs in the air as a response comes...next time!
