The Last Paladin IC (Frosty)

[Frosty]

(should I bother rolling the crit confirm or is it dead?)

[Maquise]

Mira raises her sword to strike it down, but it disintegrates at the touch of your lance. The demons continue to mass together, whether to attack you or the fort you cannot tell. The balban charges you, swinging its mighty fist. You dodge the blow with a few inches to spare.

Damage (+10 Smite cuz Karrin STILL hasn't hit it yet): (1d8+15)[17]

Trombe's Aid Another: (1d20+7)[16]

[Maquise]

The balban is at last vanquished. It collapses into a writhing pile of worms which then sink into the earth, vanishing completely.

(The srd isn't working at the moment for some reason; I'll post more later)

[Frosty]

(Take your time. No internet for next 3 days unless my hotel lets me use WiFi)

[Maquise]

The remaining demons single you out. A schir and some of the dretches charge you. You strike the schir, but it still manages to gore Trombe with its horns. The steed rears back in pain. A dretch also succeeds in raking the steed's belly with tooth and claw.

Trombe takes 26 damage.


Mirabelle delivers a mighty blow to the offending dretch, nearly killing it.

Conditions:

(I have limited net access yay!)
"Mira, I need you to pull out your bow and keep their attention on us instead of the fort. Do your best despite the bumpiness." While Trombe retreats to the west to avoid enemy blows and the Benny Hill theme song plays, Karrin starts using the last of her daily healing energies. They don't withdraw their full distance as to not discourage being chased.

Karrin directs Trombe to Withdraw to the North then to the West to 0AJ/1AK
Full Round Action: Channel Positive Energy to heal everyone after getting away from the demons (3d6)[3][3][5](11)

[Maquise]

The horde pursues you. Mirabelle shoots an arrow into their midst.

Karrin Ye
HP: 43/60   AC: 20 + 2 vs Evil  Saves: 13F / 9R / 9W
Conditions:  LoH 0/6

Trombe
HP: 40/55  AC: 17  Saves: 11F / 10R / 6W
Conditions:

One brimorack appears to be separated from the group! This is the perfect chance to get a swipe in. Letting Mira pick her own target, Karrin guides Trombe close to the brimorack. Even as she stabs quickly, she watches the rest of the horde, ready to move away should the horde get close.

Spoiler

Karrin directs Trombe to Move to 3AL/4AM.
Trombe Readies an action to Move to 1Z/2AA if any of the demons besides the brimorack being attacked right now does either of the following:
1) Get within 15 ft of Trombe
2) Attack Trombe/Mira/Karrin in any way (including spells/ranged attacks)

Karrin's standard action: Stab the brimorack at 5AO
Attack (+1 High Ground): (1d20+10)[11]
Damage: (1d8+5)[12]

[Maquise]

You stab at the demon (which is actually a babau) and miss. The babau stabs back, missing.

"Karrin!" Mirabelle says as she shoots at the demon, "Stop looking at me and focus on the enemy!"

[Frosty]

Karrin Ye
HP: 43/60   AC: 20 + 2 vs Evil  Saves: 13F / 9R / 9W

Trombe
HP: 40/55  AC: 17  Saves: 11F / 10R / 6W
Conditions:

"Sorry Mira, I wouldn't be so distracted by your body if I saw it more often." jokes the paladin nervously as she tries her best to save everyone. She readies herself to strike at any enemy that comes within range.

Trombe Readies an action to Move to 13X/14Y if any of the demons besides do either of the following:
1) Get within 10 ft of Trombe
2) Attack Trombe/Mira/Karrin in any way (including spells/ranged attacks)

Karrin's standard action: Ready an action to stab first demon that comes within Karrin's range.
Attack (+1 High Ground): (1d20+10)[16]
Damage: (1d8+5)[6]

[Maquise]

The demons pursue, Trombe keeping you well ahead of them. Fortunately, none of them seem capable of harming you at this range.

[Frosty]

"Keep firing. Let's see if we can circle around and kill some at the front gate while the rest are all wasting time chasing us."

Spoiler

Show

Trombe moves to 27Z, 28AA.

Readied Action: Once most of the demons (at least 9 out of the 12 chasing them) have rounded the corner, Karrin directs Trombe to 27AP/28AQ

[Maquise]

You move swiftly, Mirabelle's arm wrapped around you in such a way that you both offer her support and her shield covers both of you.

Trombe gives you a signal with his head. You realize that the babau you had been fighting before has slipped away.

[Frosty]

Karrin says to Mira, "Mira, some of them may be able to teleport. Watch for any that might appear suddenly in front of us or near us, and be ready to stab it."

Spoiler

Show

Karrin readies an action to stab at any enemy that gets in the way of Trombe's path.

Trombe Double-Moves to 27BA/28BB. Initial preference is in a straight line. However, if anything gets in the way, Trombe will go around, trying to avoid AoOs.

Your lance strike rips through the demon, your allies nearly killing the other. The demons fall back, the defenders beginning to push out of the gate. The main horde closes in.

[Frosty]

(I'll post later tonight, ut where did the Babau go? Also, is Gaeba unconscious?)

[Maquise]

(The babau inside was defeated, you don't know where the other went. Also, you can't tell what happened to Gaeba)

You lance the brimorak dead, and continue northwards. A group of schirs north of you are waiting. They charge, powerful horns only just stopped by Trombe's barding.

Conditions:  Charging,

"Crap, they're converging again! Can't let them get inside..." After having Trombe perform just a small adjustment step, Karrin, Trombe, and hopefully Mira unleashes a torrent of attacks on a Schir, taking advantage of the fact that its guard is lowered from having charged.

Your attack staggers the wounded schir. The others move to surround you, and you lance one as it approaches. One of the schirs wounds you with its halberd.
Take 5 damage.
