Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
Artemus looks down at Sharra from the back of the cluster and concentrates on the telepathic bond between himself and the rest of the group. <How many arrow-slots are there?>

"Aha. Two slits, a Nalfeshnee demon behind each. I've disabled the traps. Locked door, leading same place the arrow slits do. Aedras, if you can get over here and unlock the door without being seen do it--otherwise, I'll melt the lock; everyone else, stay out, but be ready to charge."

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
Artemus' already stony expression becomes even harder at the mention of the Nalfeshnee's. <Creatures of entropy and disorder! They will not be difficult to remove, if I have simply a few moments with them! I am ready and willing to charge on any notice!>

I posted what I was going to do in my last post, but I'll go again just in case you're waiting on me. I move forward, dropping my lend talent for a 42 on hide and move silently, trying to avoid the arrow slits if I can see them. Hiding under them if possible, or jumping over them as long as they're only on one wall, otherwise just hiding in the shadows. 39 on open lock after I pull out my MW tools.
Spoiler
Me: When I started the adventure, my character was handed a bag full of 100 MW daggers.
Will: Wow, that's, 30,000gp. That's more than you can get with a wish spell
Me: Yeah, it was more than I could ever wish for.

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
If Aid Another is possible--say, advice--Sharra tries it and autosucceeds on her attempt, giving +2 (pushing it over 40, thus disabling any lock that's Amazing or less).
"The rest of you--if you have Align Weapon spells or potions, now's a good time. Do it out of the Nalfeshnees' hearing."Last edited by Rachel Lorelei; 2008-02-22 at 03:13 AM.

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
Oh, yeah--Sharra goes over to the body in the corner and searches that.
Then she opens the door, quietly, just enough to slip through. When she's in the Nalfeshnees' room, she sends back via the bond: "Okay, come along quietly. If you can gather by the door, we're good. If they see you, everyone rush on through."
If the Nalfeshnees notice someone, Sharra will take a surprise round.

Artemus holds his spear forward, aimed at the door with a hardened expression still on his face. He is fully ready to rush in and destroy the demons.

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
<Then let the time for words end! Stand back now and I shall lead the assault!>
As that last thought drifts through the mental connection of the group, Artemus holds his spear up and holds his armored boot up. <If you wish to stay out of harms way do so immediately!>
He does several things in those few instances, his foot kicks forward quickly, causing the door to swing open quickly. Simultaneously, all of his incarnum flares at once; a cloak of blue fire, bracers of blue steel, boots of blue steel, azure fire sheathing his spear and a glowing illusory avatar of a kolyarut mimicking his actions.
He steps in and holds his hand out, speaking a single word of dictum and law as axiomatic energies surge from him at the wall.
SpoilerTaking a surprise round to kick the already partially open door completely open (while simultaneously ending the suppression of all my soulmelds) and shifting 3 essentia from his bluesteel bracers to use weapon attunement (spell) to use Order's Wrath. If I can't get both nalfeshnee's within it's area, then just one of them.
Damage: (10d6)[29]

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
(Just a note: shouldn't Sharra and Aedras, at least, get to act on a surprise round, since they knew the Nalfeshnees were there but not vice-versa? That's the exact kind of thing surprise rounds are for. I'm going to assume I get the surprise round for now.)
Sharra appears without warning behind the two Nalfeshnees, her familiar peeking out of its magical pocket, and two knives flash out from her cloud. Immediately after, a burst of agonizingly bright radiance erupts between the demons as she claps her hands.
Taking advantage of the demons' startlement, Sharra follows up with another pair of knives, flashing for the demons' vital organs, and a pointed finger from which a wave of force erupts, smashing into the back of a demon's head.
SpoilerRadiant Assault: (15d6)[56], * 1.5 = 84 as Sharra uses a Sudden Empower imbued in her by the Athenaeum of Boccob. Daze for (1d6)[5] * 1.5 = 7 rounds.
A DC 26 Will save halves the damage and turns the Daze into Dazzle (which does, like, nothing).
(1d20+20)[26] to beat SR on N1; (1d20+20)[39] for N2.
Edit: whoops, forgot the full-round. Sharra attacks a non-Dazed demon first; if it goes down, the rest go into the other one. If both of the demons are Dazed (or there's just one non-Dazed one, and it dies from the daggers), Sharra does NOT cast Orb of Force, settling for launching daggers.
Ranged touch attacks:
Surprise round knives: Knife; familiar's knife (1d20+29=36, 1d20+29=30). The 1 obviously misses.
Damage for knife: 1d6+5=9, 12d6=38, for a total of 47 (minus DR).
Normal round:
Cloud of Knives; familiar's Cloud; Orb of Force (1d20+29=40, 1d20+29=34, 1d20+19=24). I'm assuming those hit, since they're big bulky demons.
Damage for knife: Dagger; sneak attack (1d6+5=11, 12d6=42), 53 total (minus DR)
Damage for familiar's knife: Dagger; sneak attack (1d6+5=9, 7d6=27), 36 total (minus DR).
Damage for Orb of Force: the Orb itself; sneak attack (10d6=40, 12d6=44), for a total of 84 Force damage, bypassing DR.
Sharra then moves and hides again: 1d20+55=74Last edited by Rachel Lorelei; 2008-02-24 at 07:04 PM.

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
Aedras hangs back for now, pulling out his longbow and hiding next to the wall near the door, readying to attack the fiends when the shot is clear.

Readying an action to attack when Artemus leaves the door-way and enters combat, attacking whichever is closer, or the left one if they're equally close

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
The first two dagger attacks hit the demons head on, followed quickly is the assault, the deadly energy causing them to let out roars of pain and anger, and setting one of the pair's eyes rolling.
Another knife stabs into the dazed Nalfeshnee's neck, sending thick, black blood rushing out. As the other whizzes past harmlessly. The magic orb quickly seals the un-dazed demon's fate, caving its face in, causing it to disappear in a blast of smoke.

Re: Bastion of Broken Souls [IC]
Lithana's dazed foe offers no fight at all as she closes in. Taking advantage of the fact that it can barely form a thought, leaps up, and expertly jabs her blade straight into the demon's forehead, causing it to vanish in a second blast of smoke.
