[Anastasia]

You forgot Jetina's save, just heads up.

[Nephrite]

I didn't though? I rolled 3 -

Moore 95
Cresiel 106
Jetina 104

[Anastasia]

This is where the DM feels dumb for misreading. Whoops.

> roll 1d20+105 (+30 Moore, +27 inspiration) Sylvie evasion
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+105 (+30 Moore, +27 inspiration) Sylvie evasion --> [ 1d20=19 ]{124}

Yet this bombardment isn't fast enough. All four of you move back as the lizard is ripped apart in it, obliterated under the assault. Somehow the altar is not, as...

Chance to react. Odds are this goes to init, but we'll see depending on your action here.

[spoiler]

+30 to saves (+18 morale, +4 sacred, +8 charisma)
+29 to Perception (25 competence, 4 morale)

Notes:

[Nephrite]

Sorry, I misread what you said and thought that Sylvie didn't have to roll.

Hecatoncheires! We do not come with a hostile intent for you!

I'll pretend he can try a diplo here - take 10 for 158 - I am sure there's a penalty here somewhere, but he may as well try.

[Anastasia]

The answer is a roar of anger, so loud that the sky shakes. The great abomination leaps up and then plummets down, a mountain of swords, arms and fury coming down at the party.

"ALL THE GODS WILL BREAK BEFORE ME!"

Indeed it is init time.

[Nephrite]

Yeah, he expected as much.

[13:49] <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+105 (+30 Moore, +27 inspiration) Sylvie evasion --> [ 1d20=19 ]{124}
[14:07] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+16 Moore
[14:07] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+54+16 Moore --> [ 1d20=17 ]{87}
[14:08] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+21+16 Cresiel
[14:08] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+21+16 Cresiel --> [ 1d20=4 ]{41}
[14:08] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+7+16+24 Jetina
[14:08] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+7+16+24 Jetina --> [ 1d20=10 ]{57}
[14:08] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+37+24+16 Sylvie
[14:08] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+37+24+16 Sylvie --> [ 1d20=10 ]{87}

I forgot +24 to Cresiel, so his is 65.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+38 (+20 ???)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+38 (+20 ???) --> [ 1d20=2 ]{40}

Init is Moore = Sylvie (87) > Jetina (57) > Cresiel (41) > The Hecatonchereis (40)

Open.

[Nephrite]

Cresiel should go before Jetina for whatever it's worth, I had a math error.

We will neither bend nor break before you. We do not come here to fight, or to try and rid Creation of you.

'We are likely going to have to endure much to try and get through to this - I will bolster you all as much as I can through this. Stay strong.'

To do so, he reaches deep within himself to bolster their hearts and minds.

He is going to try and cast Greater Snowsong - I think Hecaton is too far away to be affected anyway, but everyone will gain +8 morale bonus to Charisma and +8 insight to AC and will have 2d6 cold added to all their attacks, if they make any.

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'll adjust.

Init is Moore = Sylvie (87) > Cresiel (65) > Jetina (57) > The Hecatonchereis (40)

That it for your turn?

[Nephrite]

That is it for my turn. Let us pray for our survival.

[Anastasia]

I'm planning Sylvie and Cresiel, throwing a few ideas at the wall. Anything for Jetina as I do that?

[Nephrite]

She'll just hold in case it actually does something that warrants her involvement. Well, she'll try to, anyway, obviously.

Moore's suggestion would probably be to be defensive since they have no idea what it's capable of.

[Anastasia]

Sylvie utters quick words, curled around her. "MOVE!" she cries, diving to the left as fast as she can.

Danatha's Improvisation. Also a quickened shield to boost her AC a bit more.

Cresiel stays where he is, taking the charge head on and shield ready.

Total defense.

Like this the Hecatoncheires lands, his blades coming down like a relentless, impossible storm of blades on all of you.

> roll 1d20+127 (+8 ????, +4 ???, +16 rage, +4 ???, +1 ???)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+127 (+8 ????, +4 ???, +16 rage, +4 ???, +1 ???) --> [ 1d20=7 ]{134}
> roll 1d20+127 (+8 ????, +4 ???, +16 rage, +4 ???, +1 ???)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+127 (+8 ????, +4 ???, +16 rage, +4 ???, +1 ???) --> [ 1d20=4 ]{131}

AC all?

[Nephrite]

You know, I had all this time to sort this out for myself and the others and just didn't.

Moore is 168,
Cresiel is 149 (153 due to total defense),
Jetina is 142
Sylvie 137

Layering a bunch of defenses helps a lot!!

[Anastasia]

All of you are pushed back to the edges of the bottom of the canyon. Blades everywhere - Cresiel's armor holds as his shield does the same, sliding back with a spark-shooting whine of metal. Moore dodges back again and again, pinned as Sylvie is right next to him. Jetina is forced back as well as the ground shatters like shards from the impact, flight keeping you up but sending dreadful sprays of razor sharp stone everywhere, only the altar somehow unbroken and untouched.

Ref all.
