Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2

[razorback]

"Well, I don't suppose anyone brought a vial or three of acid, by any chance? Guess I'll have to add this to my list of things we need to buy next time we are in a town." With that, he gives a chuckle.

[Ghostfoot]

Seeing the slowness at which the small elemental is struggling to undermine the iron wall, Connaught steps in and starts to help hacking away at crumbling stone surrounds. It's noisy work but before long the wall is loosening and you're able to pry back the metal. Thankfully it's still somewhat supported and doesn't fall back due to the wedge.

The darkened chamber beyond bears a strange resemblance to the previous one, in that the floor consists of a stone scale model of an ancient city. Yet where the previous model was terribly damaged, this chamber seems relatively well preserved. The layout and style of he city is quite different, with four wide canals converging upon a wide lake at the center, from which rises a great stone pyramid. Mighty temples rise from the low angular buildings while the stone wall display lifelike depictions of leering bats, lizards and snakes.

To the south there is a large alcove with a single passagway leading onward.

[DrK]

Connaught peers through, a wide grin on his bearded face as he spies a small city of gold beyond. "Aye folks. This looks interesting. Its been a bit dangerous so far with that wall of fire and the like. DO you think there's any traps about here before I start tearing the things apart?" He paces into the room trailing the elemental as he peers around the strange room and the three dimensional pyramid. Axe in had he waves the others into the room.

[Phasm]

"Let's find out. Lora, would you mind scanning for magic before I go check for traps?" Sure, Amiyah can cast detect magic, but why use up a spell when Lora can do it naturally?

Sometimes she really envies the dragonborn.

[Kelvin360]

As befitting someone who still exists, Surtros stays out of everyone's way, letting them accomplish their assigned tasks.

[Cavir]

"Gladly." Lora nods and calls upon her innate ability to sense magic and directs it around the room.

As Connaught waves them into the room Lora barely has time to register the many deeply gouged claws marks on the other side of the now-sundered iron wall. A horrendous ear-splitting shriek resonates through the room as a fearsome demonic creature launches itself from the southern passageway. Looking like an emaciated human-sized bat it has a long barbed tail and wicked-looking claws. Black hairless skin is stretched over it's frame and it has the skull-like head of a demon with glowing red eyes!



It flaps into the air in the center of the room ready to swoop...

It's a lesser varrangoin, an intelligent & evil denizen (magical beast) of the Abyss. It has a poisonous barb on its tail, and you can tell by it's glowing red eyes that this one can breath fire (and is resistant to fire). They have spell resistance and are resistant to weapons not forged from cold iron. Oh and they explode when they die. Have fun!

"The wall was to keep that thing in. Wonder if there are more coming."

Loradralsornux moves up next to the elemental up front. She bangs her morningstar against her shield, attracting the bat thing's attention. She calls out in draconic. "Come on! Come at me!" She follows the challenge with a cone of platinum mist surrounding the creature, slowing it down.

"...I knew this excursion was going too well. Summoning a hippogriff now!" Celestial bison are tougher and stronger, but what if the fiend has a ranged attack? No, better to summon a flying creature. Khalil hunches down on the wizard's shoulder, not wanting to move and attract the flying fiend's attention, as Amiyah begins her spell.

"Well, that has got to be the biggest bat I've ever heard of!" Tchinik says with surprise as he spins his spear towards the creature and then mumbles "I really need to invest in a bow..."
He then starts to bring his allies spirits up with words of encouragement.

Oh, to have the luxury of wasting time with a perfect opportunity to deliver the classic 'oh, I didn't see this coming at all!' What comes out, however, is a sermon, in a language long forgotten or perhaps not a language at all, yet its words ring true in their hearts. Courage. Surety. Faith. Conviction. The blessing swirls to life around them to invite a sense of impertinent confidence in direct opposition to the horror before them, a gambler's smile looking down on them from the either. Telling the children to behave themselves. Mother knows best.

5-foot step to H41 to give Tchinik some room and Amiyah some cover. Then casting mass conviction centered on Lora. It gives all of us except the bat +3 to all saving throws for the next hour.

[Ghostfoot]

As the bat-creature swoops about the room Lora blasts it with her dragon's breath, slowing it to a more languid state as it now struggles to beat it's wings. As the spellcasting starts and Tchinik's words of inspiration ring out Urol grips his little staff with two hands like a club in case it comes near him.

The abyssal bat flaps its wings and hovers in place, a vile stream of words hissing from it's jaws, Connaught the only one that can understand "Sutolore is free again!". It's demonic head and eyes flare up momentarily, illuminating its skull from the inside as if it contains the fires of the Hells, and then a great blast of searing flame and heat bursts forth as it breathes fire about the room.

"Oooh, kill it kill it!" shrieks Urol, his beard singed and sparking.

"Get down here you flying ugly beast"

"I think I can deal with that." The dragonborn opens her wings wide and high. She flaps them as she leaps into the air, straight up. With another flap of her wings she launches herself at the bat creature looking to tangle herself up with the creature and drag them both down.

A cloud of silver mist forms five feet away from the fiend's back. As Amiyah speaks her last word, the mist coalesces into a hippogriff with shining silver feathers, its claws and beak gleaming gold. The wizard points at her enemy. "Attack!" Her summoned ally screeches a battle cry and surges forward, claws and beak at the ready!

I hope this is the worst thing we have to face here, because I only have so many high-level spells. But whether it's a demon or a devil, it will have damage resistance of some kind, and none of them have cold iron or silver weapons. It's up to her to give her comrades the boost they'll need to power through. Amiyah chants another spell, hands flying in intricate gestures. The party and the hippogriff see the world slowing down around them...

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Hippogriff will make a full attack with smite evil against the fiend. Do you want me to calculate and roll that?

Amiyah is casting haste on everyone.

[Ghostfoot]

Connaught hurls a weighted axe at the varrangoin. It flaps aside, narrowly dodging and lashing out at Lora with it's vicious tail as it evades her attempts to grab it. Tchinik moves in while Urol and Surtros stand their ground weapons at the ready. Amiyah completes her casting and a glorious fantastical creature forms, launching itself at the vile varrangoin its beak slashing for 2 damage even as Amiyah casts another spell and the party speeds up unnaturally.

Still hampered by the sluggish spell and assaulted by the conjured hippogriff the creature again breathes fire trying to drive it off. Even as it does a strange thing happens, a softly glowing orb materializes in the air flitting about next to Lora and the demon bat. An alien buzzing emanates from it, which only Connaught with his supernatural powers can understand as "Intruders. Tlanextli will exterminate." A jolt of electricity zaps from it shocking the varrangoin for 3 electricity damage.

Well. Now that she's summoned help and hasted everyone else, just what can Amiyah do? Most fiends have elemental resistances, and her ice spells probably aren't powerful enough to get through. She can't think of an illusion that would be useful here, grease won't make a difference against a flying enemy, transposition would do more harm than good, she forgot to buy silver or cold iron crossbow bolts and doesn't know which one to use here anyway.

Wait. She has fey spells now! Fiends are smart enough to be affected by mind-affecting spells, right? And this one can't be too powerful by fiendish standards, otherwise they would all be dead by now. Encouraged, Amiyah reaches for the bond she shares with the Summer Court. I give them a spell I have prepared- minor image, it's not going to do much good here- and... there! The illusion spell vanishes from her mental spellbook, replaced by something utterly unfamiliar that she somehow knows how to cast. The wizard chants strange words, makes odd gestures, and waves a feather in the air. I hope this works, or I'm going to look so silly!

I really should have stocked up on cold iron and silver crossbow bolts in Tashluta...

[Kelvin360]

Surtros watches the claws of the hippogriff essentially bounce off most of the creature's hide and lowers his crossbow. He didn't really want to break out the artillery so early, but this sort of situation is technically why he decided to double down on the Hammersphere's enchantment. Seconds later, a massive glowing battleaxe taps the fiend on the shoulder, then takes a swing at its head, whistling the opening notes to whatever the Faerunian equivalent of 'I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay' is.

And this is more or less why I decided that I wanted to memorize an extra casting of Spiritual Weapon. This'll be a quick shot of DR-penetrating force damage, if you please.

The creature's tail makes contact but can not penetrate the tough draconic skin. Lora's attempt to grapple the thing also fails.

Connaught looks angrily at the beast flapping above out of his reach. With the lord of the earth bound to his soul he was angry with the creature!

Tchinik stabs upward at the demonic creature with a savage mighty blow for 19 damage. Amiyah casts a spell to little effect. The magical hippogriff swoops past the varrangoin, lashing out at it. Its strikes do not connect, and the varrangoin also retaliates futilely. As the hippogriff flaps its wings and circles back a flash of energy passes from the nearby glowing wisp, shocking the poor creature for 10 electricity damage.

Surtros casts his spell and a sorcerous axe magically appears, swinging at the varrangoin for 6 damage. Lora flaps her wings and hurtles in toward the bat thing again this time grabbing it and sending them both plummeting in a tangled mess to fall upon the model city below. With a shout Connaught leaps forward, his mighty blow unnaturally resisted and only inflicting 1 damage.

The pinned varrangoin skull flares up again, giving a seconds warning as a gout of flame issues forth across Lora, Connaught and his bound companion.

The buzzing ball of light also drops down, although this time as everyone struggles on the ground it darts forward and zaps Lora for 5 electricity damage

Surtros' axe whirls and swings but the varrangoin hisses and manages to duck but not so Connaught's axe, which thunks home satisfyingly for 9 damage.

The hippogriff whirls about the room again, claws raking the varrangoin for 2 damage. However it's graceful flight again draws attacks, the glowing wisp again shocking it for 10 electricity damage even as Lora tries to protect it.
