Moving on

[Iron Dragoon]

"Not yet, but keep ready. This is going to be hard, I think. I'd like to forcibly plane shift it somewhere that'll kill it for us... Like the Negative Energy plane or Fire, but I doubt we can pull that off..."

[Anastasia]

Emily will hold then.

The horror below lets out a great screech, one that echos in your ears and stabs your mind like icy daggers.

Fort all.

[Iron Dragoon]

It's too much, leaving Alyssa reeling and dazed, unable to think.

Dazed for one round. Do you have any protection against that?

nope

[Anastasia]

Then Emily is there, healing washing away your dazedness, followed by a rally within yourself, bolstering your power greatly, filling you with sheer hope. You can do this! Heavenly power follows, bolstering you all further.

Emily takes her turn to cast heal on you to remove dazed and then glorious rally and celestial valor on all of you. This grants +6 morale attack rolls, weapond amage rolls, saving throws and armor class. You get 64 temporary hit points each and immunity to fear. Then you get +8 sacred vs negative emotions, +4 sacred to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class and saving throws. Weapons count as holy weapons for +2d6 damage vs evil.

The targets gain a +6 morale bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws and armor class. The targets also gain temporary hit points equal to your caster level times two. For example, a 30th level caster would grant each target 60 temporary hit points. Finally, the targets are immune to fear effects.

Init is Alyssa (35) > Ianvasah (30) > Giant Horror (11) > Emily (10) > Jarem (7) > Wave (4)

Jarem is up.

Jarem flies in front of the two of you, shield up as he chants, "Red Knight, Lady of Strategies, sing the song of the battlefield." All around you things seem darker, the sounds of clashing blades, crying horses, shouts, the twang of bows, the crackle of fire. The sound of the battlefield surround the party as...

War's Echo. +4 morale Strength and Constitution to all allies within 160ft. You have to stay in range of that to benefit, remember. There's a -4 penalty, but the horror below is immune to that, so that aspect of the spell doesn't come into play.

Then the wave comes. As it does, blowing past all of you. Ianvasah dives down, wings drawn in, trying to squeeze through the hole nimbly.

Acrobatics check.

> roll 1d20+4
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 12 > [d20=8]

Unfortunately, Ianvasah has not invested in Acrobatics. Unfortunate.

Ianvasah mistimes it, wing clipped by the water, a draconic cry as...

> roll 10d6 ow
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 31 > [d6=1,6,4,4,1,5,4,1,4,1]
> roll 1d20+4 second Acrobatics check
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 12 > [d20=8]

The dragon morphed druid loses control, plunging face down towards the horror that you can now see. It is massive, hundreds and hundreds of feet of a smooth body poking out, no sign of the head. Various deep craters are all about the top of it, leading into darkness within. Not that Ianvasah has time to admire that, as she comes to a crash landing atop it.

> roll 10d6 more fall damage double ow
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 34 > [d6=3,4,6,5,4,4,3,1,2,2]

Good thing she has temp HP to burn.

Go, Alyssa.

Alyssa shakes off the scream and casts a spell, then moves closer to the creature!

Haste, CL 32, 32 round duration.
Target: Friendlies.
New movement speed: 80 ft.

As she closes in on the creature, her Arial Assembly darts forward to attack!

> roll 8#1d20+48 TK ATTACK!
<Penuche> Iddy invokes Penuche's magic: < 53, 62, 50, 49, 66, 56, 58, 55 >

[Anastasia]

Your blades slice into the horror - and fail to penetrate at all, like gnats scratching at a behemoth.

Ianvasah rises and roars, spewing electric breath all over the horror - which likewise does little.

"We need something bigger," Jarem shouts as you see it. Directly below you, a head emerges, attached to a long, sinuous neck. It is vaguely dragonlike and thickly scaled, black eyes looking about slowly before locking onto all of you. It has the same black horn as the others, from which black electricity crackles and gathers. It's rising up, going right at Alyssa from below. As it approaches, a burst of electricity arches out at her.

Reflex save. Note that this is at least partially immunity piercing, so I need a save regardless of resistance/immunity. That said, note where you're at on that with the save.

You failed the save, but it only deals half to immune, so 80 damage total.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

The electricity pierces your ward like it isn't there, pain flaring as your body thrashes. You can't think, you can't feel. You can only hurt, the world shaking all over for Alyssa as she rallies herself.

The creature is gazing at you with both eyes and suddenly...

Fort.

[Anastasia]

Yet this gaze you withstand, a shudder passing through your body. But stand you do, withstanding it as, "GET OUT OF THE WAY, ALYSSA!" Emily calls, "I'M GOING TO END THIS!"

Emily holding since she wants to open up some serious pain on it but you're too close. Jarem will hold for the moment too. Go.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sprints her way next to Emily!

[Anastasia]

Emily doesn't chant this time. Instead she silently mouths words, over and over. In each hand a massive javelin of sunshine gathers, incandescently bright. She hurls them down with a deep grunt, sunlances flying with a belated cry of, "BURN!"

An empowered sunlance and a plain sunlance.

> roll 1d20 empowered sunlance 1/20 check
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 14 > [d20=14]

> roll 1d20+32 SR normal
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 38 > [d20=6]

The flashes of light are tremendous, but when it clears the head is undamaged, untouched. Emily stares, a gasp, "Oh no..." she murmurs, before blurting out words, magic woven in desperation.

Both swifts on those sunlances, normal on a time stop.

> roll 1d4+1
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d4=2]

Then a moment later, all the fire you could imagine explodes around the horror's head.

6 maximized delayed blast fireballs since she's all about the fuck this thing train.

The flames burst, massive and thick, yet when it clears? The head is charred and burnt but still intact, gazing up at the party now. Steam begins to hiss out of the holes all across its body, hissing in the air as...

Jarem in the next post, chance to react.

Ianvasah takes to the air, charging in at that head with a draconic roar. She lunges for it and...

> roll 4d8+49
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 60 > [d8=6,1,1,3]

Ianvasah latches on and rips into the head of the horror, biting and clawing. Like a cat that has prey, caught on tight. The head writhes back and forth, as meanwhile Jarem grimaces and takes a breath, "Damn it, Ianvasah," he mutters, waiting just a moment longer.

Jarem holds, plans to intercept depending. Horror is up.

The horror begins to plunge down, leaving Ianvasah behind as...

Withdraw action. Jarem chooses to act now.

"Like hell," Jarem declares, already moving, already plunging down.

Swift action for law devotion, +7 axiomatic to attack rolls this round. Charging.

Jarem is a hair faster. His blade plunges into the eye of the thing, taking it out cleanly, black blood staining Dellos from the blow. It screeches but continues to retreat, head beneath the waves and body following, retreating under the cover of water.

Go.
