Tsythus stares into the wastes through his doctor’s mask, the eager grin on his face unseen by all, “a bivouac at this manor will likely be needed. While I wonder how lethal ‘out after dark’ could really be, testing this should be avoided until we have a sure fire exit strategy. This really is an inhospitable land,” Tsythus squats to collect a vial of the bone dust, “bone and silt definitely… but something more? It largely exceeds the rumors, surely there are better places to set up a homestead, Miss Isabelle. You have quite the menagerie, Roger - lead on.”

Survival aid to Roger: (1d20+9)[10]

Edit: Oh good, Tsythus is as lucky as Hastur…although RAW, he still succeeds at aid another since it only requires a roll of 10 and skills don’t automatically fail on a 1.

Darsalla, Tiefling Magus//Swashbuckler

Darsalla stood with the others as they peered out into the wastes, apparently all of them seeing something she didn't see. Or perhaps they were posing for the moment, in hopes that someone would walk by and be struck by inspiration to paint the tableau. She crossed her arms for a moment, staring determinedly ahead, then dropped them with a snort. However a glance at Tsythus and Timoshko struck a cord. ”I see you all have masks, and I'm guessing we're not headed to a masquerade ball ... anyone know if they sell things like that around here?”

Aside from wanting any items that could help mitigate the natural (or unnatural) hazards and risks of the Wastes, Darsalla is ready to go.

[DrK]

After a basic but filling lunch using the boarding house supplies to create an edible sort of bean stew with flat bread you make ready to head into the waste. The flat sullen eyes of the Camp's inhabitants watch you, the ghoulish undertaker pausing from digging the graves for the Bender brothers to offer you a wry wave and point to a clear patch of dirt as if to suggest there is plenty more room for you. Following Roger's tracks you start winding out into the ash wastes, within a half mile of leaving the camp and the road to the north your legs caked with fine white powder up to the thighs and gusts of wind sending zephyrs of bone dust swirling amongst you and setting people coughing despite the scarfs wrapped around their faces.

The constant wind gives everything a shimmering haze and cuts down the visbility. The attack when it comes is without warning! As you are trotting along on you horses or on foot behind Roger there is a sudden hiss of displaced air and a shroud of darkness settles over Roger, Timoshko and Tsythus as the lead the party and three large lither red skinned shapes are visible in the shadows. The three creatures looking like flayed humaoids each armed with long barbed spears!



As they crash around you Tsythus, Izzy and Darsalla are the first to react....

OOC

Three babau demons have teleported into attack you. With their impressive stealth modifier (+22 before weather and distance) they were able to ambush but sadly had to use their surprise actions to teleport in
They appear 15ft directly in front of Roger, and 15ft to the left and right of the party but nearest to Tysthus and Timoshko

After the surprise round Tysthus, Izzy and Darsalla beat the Babau's initiative

[RCgothic]

"Woah, watch out!" Izzy calls, quickly pulling out an extract. As she drinks it, she doubles in size and reach, moving to threaten several of the babau demons with her spear!

When the demons appear, Tsythus reacts quickly by grabbing a vial from his bandolier, seeing Izzy grab her own he adds, ”prosit!”, raises the vial for an instant in a toast, and downs the contents. He emits a low, long grunt, as if pained, draws his blade and moves next to the embiggened Izzy.

THree of the pary move up forming a wall to support the rest of them, Darsalla summoning an armour of force as she steps beside Izzy and Tsythus feeling his muscles surge and swell from his mutagen. Izzy in the centre suddenly ripples and expands, her small frame now a towering 10ft tall with a 15ft long barbed spear clutched in her hand! The demons skid to a halt, all snarling abysaal, all of you hearing a low growling Blood for the Lord of skulls, blood for the prince of the abyss and blood, for... me in the cackling babau's voices in your heads.

Then with teamwork and synchronicity the three demons strike forward, Izzy able to to take strike at them as close rapidly... Lunging spears lashing at Izzy, Timoshko and Darsalla

Since Roger was some distance ahead and the demons teleported at the core of the party, Roger is now somewhere behind their backs. He turns the horse around and guides it a bit closer to have a clearer shot and is presented with his choice of targets. The demons being obviously demons, Roger knows well how to get them hurt. That leaves choosing which one he'll hurt and when he will do it...

I think durable cold iron arrows won't survive the contact with the babau, but that's the only cold iron option Roger now has, so he instead uses normal arrows utilizing a +3 effective enhancement bonus (bow + bane) to overcome the DR.

[Farmerbink]

Timoshko smiles, recognizing a strange familiarity in the creature's apparent thirst for blood. "Let it be spilled!" he roars, as he swells alongside Izzy. As his own blood flow with demeaning taint, he suddenly stands well taller than the demons, and lashes out with his scythe in a mirror to their assault.

Darsalla grunted at the strike before smiling at the demon before her. ”Ah, so you like it rough … I can work with that.” One hand getured and she lashed out with the chain twice, one leaving a strange character in abyssal if it made contact. After, she stepped back to keep in line with her companions.

The three demons launch their attacks on the line of adventurers into the desolation. Spears clash and Timishoko and Tsythus both lose themselves to their rage. The pair of ragers swing and hack at the ichor covered blood demons but in their frezy the blades go wide. Izzy jabs forward with controlled thrusts but they are brushed aside by the demons' own spears. Darsalla and Roger are more fortunate, the spiked chain catching one in the knee although some of the damage is ablated, the demon then grunts as the arrow thuds into from Roger fired from where the ranger is standing further up the dust covered plain.

Seeing the lone ranger one of the babaus turns and charges Roger atop his horse seeking an easy target, his back exposed leaving Izzy and Darsalla the chance to thrust at his exposed back as he turns and runs at the ranger, it proves to be his undoing as Izzy jabs forward and with a brutal thrust of her spear impales it through the neck causing it pop out of existence in a wet splatter of dried acidic blood.
The other two continue battling the party infused by hatred for all things living. One jabbing at Timoshko with its spear, the other matching Tsythus's rage dropping its spear and stepping in close to tear apart the alchemist with bite and claw, its body stinking with the acidic ichor that it exudes.

When the demon starts towards him, Roger gets ready to duck behind the horse. But then the demon does not survive beyond a pair of steps. Meanwhile, Jumbo starts to dive in. "Not now, Jumbo! Keep safe, we are winning!" The bird makes a pass over the scene while the dogs approach it from both sides and from a "safe" distance, barking vigorously. Roger observes how it goes and then condemns the remaining demon(s) to hell, both in word and in action. "This fate will befall the lot of you!"

One of the demons whips round to charge at Roger, it manages three steps before the spear punches through its neck reducing to strange demonic ichor as its form loses cohesion. The other two snarl and how with rage, spears striking the explorers.

The return attacks are not as efficient, Tsythus attacks but wounded his strikes swing wide, Izzy, her spear off balance by the weight of the dying demon is likewise off balance as her thrust is parried. The savage blows from the hulking raging barbaric tribesman are not as easily blocked and the scythe hacks into the demon even as the other demon is assailed by the crackling spiked chain that pulses with magical power from Darsalla as its whipped twice leaving sets of tracks from the chain decorating it chest. The demon grunts further as a pair of arrows punch into into its back.

Despite the damage the demons worship carnage and savagery and lash out, one thrusting at Timoshko and one lashing out at the halfling, both stepping in closer towards their foes seeking to manever round to use their allies for cover against Roger and his demon bane arrows.

This suddenly wasn't looking so good. Roger starts to direct Daisy closer to the action, making two shots on the way.

Darsalla, Tiefling Magus//Swashbuckler

Darsalla smiled again, her eyes flashing red as the creature raked one of its claws across her exposed arm. Twirling her chains, she kept the creature trapped between herself and Tsythus, murmuring aloud, "Awwww, he thinks he likes it rough. How sweet ...”

With dazzling speed, the chains flew out again, another mark upon the demon ... this time, the rune for fool appeared upon it's chest.

Like a well oiled machine the various adventurers into the desolation work as a team, Roger launching an arrow into one of their backs before riding in distracting the demon from the scythe wielding raging madman whilst Tsythus and Darsalla flank the other. All of the heroes strikes land true and as the demon is crushed under the scythe the other falls to the long thrust of Izzy’s (currently very long) spear

As both of the demons melt into the ash white dust, their forms losing cohesion as their “souls” are drawn back into the abyss the sound of the hissing sand is once more all that is left. The desolation’s first encounter a savage one and perhaps a taste of what is to come as you look into the distance where Izzy’s land awaits

[RCgothic]

"I hope there aren't too many more of those on my land," Izzy says, wrinkling her nose at the dissolving demons.

"It's everyone okay? Those things were nasty!" she asks to ascertain the state of the party.

[Farmerbink]

In stark contrast to the blood trickling from his puckering wounds, Timoshko laughs in manic glee! "I've never felt more alive!" he bellows. "This land is full of blood and death! It will prove a grand, and worthy challenge!" He peers over the dry, desolate sands, apparently willing to let himself continue bleeding until his body stymies the flow naturally.

I would greatly appreciate someone healing Timoshko. He's at 9/51 HP, and I'd rather he didn't die immediately next time we find a threat. He is a complete maniac, but I'm only mostly crazy.

Roger provides some heals for the wounded, then examines the demons' spears to see if they are of value.
