A second tryp to the Styx (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

Mirima has training.

> roll 1d20+31 Mirima
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 36 > [d20=5]

You fly merely 5 minutes in the fog before Mirima stops. "The enemy," she points ahead, faint movements in the fog just visible.

[Corwin]

Celestial Valor settles upon their party as Jaela draws Gae Dioltas and openly courts attack!

[Anastasia]

Everyone falls into a fighting formation. They approach 60ft ahead, hidden in mists. Slumped, shambling figures, hidden in loose robes you can only just make out. You can see at least two of them and perhaps more following.

They whisper constantly, though you can't make out the words. It carries right into your ears but not to the point of perception, a low level buzz. If you could just hear a little more...!

Init here.

[Corwin]

<Jaela> roll 1d20+13
21:27 <Rei-chan> Jaela rolled : 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+7 Ellese
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+7 Ellese --> [ 1d20=9 ]{16}
> roll 1d20+11 Mirima
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+11 Mirima --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}
> roll 1d20+24 Sylvie's really good at init
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+24 Sylvie's really good at init --> [ 1d20=15 ]{39}
> roll 1d20+9 robed Styx wanderers
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+9 robed Styx wanderers --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}

Init is Sylvie (39) > Mirima (27) > Styx Wanderers (26) > Ellese (16) > Jaela (14)

Sylvie opens.

From her position Sylvie draws the book of 21, a flash of overwhelming light devastating all before her.

She's not holding back here since devils.

> roll 21d12+21
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 21d12+21 --> [ 21d12=140 ]{161}
> roll 1d20+23
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{39}

DC of 21 is 46, so failure.

The fog is momentarily scorched away and you see the figures. Reptilian things, almost like humanoid crocodiles. They're badly burned by 21, large part sof them gone as...

You can make an K:P check here.

[Corwin]

Take 10 for 59

[Anastasia]

These creatures are amnizu, devils who wander the Styx and fulfill profane rites related to it. They are fairly powerful devils, roughly equivalent to a cornugon in power, but highly specialized and obscure. Finding them here at least fits their normal MO.

"Holding back or finishing them from afar?" Mirima quickly asks.

She's up, just getting a quick answer out of Jaela.

"Go nuts!"

[Anastasia]

Cor, what's the CL of Celestial Valor?

Mirima darts ahead into the fog, blade seeking the nearest amnizu, passing through it like a blur of red and gold.

> roll 1d20+56 (+2 charge, +4 celestial valor, +2 arcane strike)
<Artemis> Kotono roll for Artemis < 62 > [d20=6]
> roll 1d10+40+4d6+2d6+2d4
<Artemis> Kotono roll for Artemis < 80 > [d10=9][d6=3,6,3,5,3,3][d4=4,4]

Also popping mirror image, has enough levels to be max images.

Woven Gold slashes out, the devil's head falling from his shoulders. It dissolves into a splash of black water, all over Mirima.

> roll 1d20+40 evasion Mirima
<Artemis> Kotono roll for Artemis < 46 > [d20=6]

Mirima dodges, rolling to the side in the air as a wave of black acid comes out from them. It hits Mirima first and then surges forward, enveloping all the party.

You're within range to possibly counter it if you want, Jaela.

[spoiler]

Celestial valor placeholder for everyone pending CL resolution: +8 saves vs fear/emotion, +4 sacred to attack rolls, damage rolls, armor class, saving throws, weapons count as holy (doesn't stack).

"Not today, bitches!" Jaela calls out, gesturing with Gae Dioltas.

[21:16] <Jaela> roll 1d20+35 chain dispel counterspell
[21:16] <Serith> Jaela roll for Serith < 52 > [d20=17]

Celestial Valor is CL26

[Anastasia]

Init is Sylvie (39) > Mirima (27) > Styx Wanderers (26) > Ellese (16) > Jaela (14)

With a quick counter, Jaela's magic causes the wave of acid to curl into itself and vanish. Got it!

Ellese'll hold a sec pending you, since she's debating options and I need a sec. go Jaela.

[Corwin]

Deciding this requires a personal touch, Jaela takes off towards the devils! Mirima trailblazed the path, and now she will finish this!

[21:28] <Jaela> roll 1d20+43+4+1 diving charge!
[21:28] <Serith> Jaela roll for Serith < 52 > [d20=4]
[21:28] <Jaela> roll 4d8+116+16+2d6 die devil scum!
[21:29] <Serith> Jaela roll for Serith < 151 > [d8=3,1,5,3][d6=5,2]

My mistake, +5 to attack for 57 and +20 damage for 171.

[Anastasia]

You charge forward as you hear a strange chant from them, the only reaction to your attacks. Suddenly black water begins to surround them and...

Going to try and counter this?

[Corwin]

"None of that!"

Try. Yes.

[21:46] <Jaela> roll 1d20+35 chain dispel counterspell
[21:46] <Serith> Jaela roll for Serith < 38 > [d20=3]

[Anastasia]

The spell crumbles as you charge in, Jaela making the symbol of the eye and countering the spell. As it stops she plunge sin, impaling another wounded amnizu and causing it to collapse into black water that splashes all over her.

Reflex save.
