To cure rotting earth (Ithea, Moore)

[Nephrite]

I forgot everyone has Haste, so Rosa should've moved an extra 60 ft, as should've anyone else who was with us. Moore's moving 180 ft towards the gate.

[Anastasia]

Moore rushes ahead, almost to the gate. The sounds of battle and cries of the wounded can be heard amid all the chaos, as...

Hope and Balyss are up.

[Merc]

Hope holds. Balyss should have hasted fly speed of 90ft so with the Run action she should make it in the gate.

Balyss flies at high speeds towards the castle gate, boosted by Moore's magic!

[Anastasia]

Balyss reaches the gates in a dead run, coming to a stop before the breech.

Golem's up.

[Ebiris]

Having had it drilled into him by Afina that his job is to fight things worse than pit fiends, Smrgol is rather nonplussed by the forces arrayed against him. Such trash devils are only worth a derisory breath of his flame, but unlike Afina his flame can't burn devils! A shameful oversight on his creator's part, he thinks in dismay as he lumbers over and casually bites a barbazu in half.

[Anastasia]

One chomp does just that - a barbazu tries to hack at it as it bites him in two, doing nothing but ensuring it ends up short of its legs. It crumbles to ash in the golem's mouth, as Rosa hurries along and reaches the gate, as does Dana.

Crystal and Ithea.

[Merc]

Crystal charges into a random devil driving her lance through it's body as Hope tears flesh from another devil as it passes near, its frightful presence activating!

Crystal:
I am not including favored enemy damage since I don't understand if your notation means Evil Outsiders and Evil stack or are separate (Evil = Evil Insiders?). So not sure if she gets +8 damage or +4 damage.

Frightful Presence (Will save DC 29)

Meanwhile, Ithea just throws more lightning out as she looks around the courtyard, getting a feel for the environment and where to focus their next attacks after the enemies at hand fall.

Reflex save halves damage (DC 26), with secondary targets already taking half damage. Targets 25 secondary targets.

[Anastasia]

They don't stack. You use whichever is best.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 Will vs fear --> [ 1d20=8 ]{20}

Crystal charges into the devil formations, impaling a barbazu as she reaches the melee. Her charge is joined with crystal biting it, the two tearing it apart. Ithea's lightning flies, decimating the lesser corps. The irregulars manning the front defense are being massacred by lightning, crumbling before you. As they rally to try and attack, the barbazu barely notice the elementals amid them suddenly groan in terror, prostrating themselves. A moment later the barbazu are sent flying all about, the ground beneath them shattering as a figure emerges from it. It is a head and upper body of stone, even bigger than that of the elemental monolith that you have been attacked by.

This is a creature Ithea has battled before - a primal earth elemental. But this one burns with an unholy light in its eyes, a dull green color that makes you feel greasy and sick just looking at it. The rock and stone of it constantly crumble, becoming dust that fades into nothingness. The scent of rotting mold and flesh is overwhelming from it, the stench making it almost impossible to do anything. Around its body, layers of metal smoothed into plates protect its head and chest, and presumably the rest of the body beneath the surface. As the creature eyes you, it speaks one word in disdain.

"Aurora." The voice of Lixer, cold and cruel. The elemental's face twists into a sneer as the smell overwhelms all the party.

Fort saves, anyone within 90ft. The puppet's 30ft back from the gate and where the frontliners were clashing with the barbazu, so work it out from there. Immunity to sickening and nauseated immunes, as does the strong stomach feat.

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29) > Balyss (28) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa = Dana (26) > Crystal = Ithea (25) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

Smrgol's immune to any effect that requires a fort save unless it affects objects. Given the reference to sickening I figure he's safe?

Also knowledge check to determine his action when his turn rolls 'round

[18:42] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+34 planes, does an elemental possessed by a devil gain devil immunities (such as to fire)?

[Nephrite]

I don't know if Ithea would use an inspiration point here, but I'll assume not.

I also don't see anything relevant on anyone that would preclude them from sickened/nauseated.

[16:03] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+36 Ithea
[16:03] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+36 Ithea --> [ 1d20=1 ]{37}

[16:03] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+22 Hope --> [ 1d20=2 ]{24}

I am very bad at rolling for other people, it seems.

[Nephrite]

Moore's should be +6 higher because I forgot about Superior Resistance, so his number is 47 if that matters.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+38 Dana
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+38 Dana --> [ 1d20=15 ]{53}

Stille's 100ft away from the gate, so outside of the stench's range.

The smell is overwhelming, overpowering. The party can barely breathe.

Ithea, Balyss, Crystal, Hope and Rosa are nauseated for 3 rounds and then sickened indefinitely.

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29 sickened 3) > Balyss (28 sickened 3) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa (sickened 3) = Dana (26) > Crystal (sickened 3) = Ithea (25 sickened 3) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

The elemental's eyes glow as its fist comes up, smacking Smrgol dead on.

> roll 1d20+72 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+72 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???) --> [ 1d20=19 ]{91}
> roll 8d6+50 ow
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 8d6+50 ow --> [ 8d6=27 ]{77}

Beats his damage reduction.

The heavy blow pounds the golem down, but he's rebounding quickly. As it digs itself out of the small crater the fist pounded it into, Stille races to the gates. He merely wrinkles his nose at the smell, "Lixer, I presume?" he asks, "I would expect a gentleman to bathe before meeting his guests, sir."

Stille's immune thanks to strong stomach. Moore.

[Nephrite]

He can't do anything about everyone being sick, so... for now, he'll just bolster their fighting ability!

"Everyone, focus your strength!" Moore calls out, inspiring courage in all of his friends!

Inspire Courage on everyone, +12 to attack and weapon damage rolls, +12 against fear and charm.
