As the title
I'll start:
>>Party is taking downtime in a small town after closing a portal to the elemental plane of fire that was messing up the towns environment and trashing an underground church of Hextor (the church was accessed through an abandoned house that was previously owned by an evil guy that got run out of town, but due to local laws was never knocked down).
>>Party consists of NG Cleric of Pelor (me), CG Sorc, NG Rogue, and TN Ranger, all level 5.
>>My character aids in defusing a riot (that intended to knock down the aforementioned house) with the help of the local priest, who asks me to take the sermon this evening.
>>The Sorc derps out and flaming spheres the abandoned house.
>>OH WAIT, THERE ARE HOUSES EITHER SIDE OF IT, MADE OF WOOD.
>>Villager runs into the sermon, shouting about a fire that threatens to engulf the houses.
>>We run over to there, villagers work efficiently under direction of the priest to start putting out the fires.
>>I start casting create water, and one house is extinguished.
>>However, as we put out the fires on that house, we hear screams from the other inhabited house.
>>It sounds like a child.
>>I run up to the door and cast resist energy on myself, before entering the house.
>>Fire everywhere
>>Listen check reveals scream coming from upstairs
>>I run up the stairs, foot goes through one of the boards but I pull myself up
>>A piece of wall has collapsed and is blocking the way
>>Feat of Strength (domain power)
>>Natural. ****ing. 20.
>>Smash the collapsed wall out of the way, along with most of the surrounding house.
>>In a hallway, energy resistance is nearly gone, screams and crying coming from the other side of the door
>>I shout "Stand back!" and bash the door down
>>Child is on bunk bed holding a toy angel, she is crying
>>I kneel down to reassure her, then pick her up.
>>She falls unconcious from the smoke
>>Fire is approaching fast
>>The window is the only way out
>>I cast a healing spell on the girl, then jump out of the open window
>>I turn in midair to use myself as a cushion for the girl, I take damage
>>As I land, the girl is ok but I look up to see masonry falling down
>>No time to move out the way since I am on the floor
>>Roll over to protect the girl
>>Take more damage, now buried under rubble
>>Girl starts crying
>>The rest of the party hear crying from the side alley, run down there and start pulling rubble off of me
>>Not enough to free me, but the girl can squeeze out
>>I shout"Take the girl" and pass her out to the Rogue, who takes her to her parents out the front (tries to pass it off as him saving her, but the girl proves him wrong by telling her parents about the 'angel')
>>Can't push the rubble off of me, still taking damage
>>Masonry burns some more, depleting my energy resistance but allowing me to free myself from the rubble with a successful strength check
>>Head back round to the front of the house, the girls parents are thankful and the townspeople cheer.
