Evangelism, Outsiders take over the world.

[Greyen]

Well that explains a few things. The attacks will stop if you can find a better food source for me. That I will promise. If you can locate me a new and better food source I can move my domain and rebuild if I need to.

If you are going to get the foodlings to submit to your god, you will have a bigger problem with their dark ones than you will with me. They are strong in their faith and drive the others with the lash.


In the water a huge splash followed by another set of smaller splashes comes through into the depths.

You friend has fallen. The Harbringer comes, show to me that you are truly willing to do as you say and I will work with you. The Greater Aboleth turns and begins to swim back toward his city, the skum and his spawn swim around him in a protective circle. The cloud of mucus left behind hangs in the water, slowly thinning.

[Frosty]

Celeste Guerrier

Celeste frowns. "Fallen? Him? That's not possible..." A flash of worry is quickly replaces by grim determination. "We will take care of the Harbringer for you. Do not worry."

She tries to mentally reach out to all of her allies, seeing if she can feel Excalith's presence.

[Greyen]

There is no response from Excalith, nothing there to contact.

[Frosty]

Celeste tries to estimate about how long it might take for the Harbringer to get here, and to judge whether this is a good place to fight.

[Greyen]

Without knowing what the Harbringer is, probably ten minutes. As for a good plae to fight ???, what do you consider good? This is a murky, dark and watery place.

[Frosty]

Dark and murky is not something Celeste likes as she posseses no special ability to see in the dark, unfortunately. She thinks to the others, "Let's try to meet the Harbringer near the surface, and perhaps even lure it back onto land."

[WhiteKnight777]

Zariel

Zariel pondered slowly, tapping his chin in a thoughtful manner. A better food source, you say. So, what sort of sustenance do you find most toothsome?

[Paragon Badger]

"I woulden't know what such beasts find palletable to their foul tongue." Sophiel remarked to herself with a smirk before swimming up to the beachhead and taking her angelic form again, plunking her glaive blade-first into the ground.

[WhiteKnight777]

Zariel

Zariel nods slowly I wouldn't either... but a rhetorical question, really as our friend has already wandered off He began to swim upwards Still, a small problem compared to that which we now face.

[Greyen]

As long as they are intelligent, and have memories for me to suck out along with listening to their screams, I will be satisfied. Comes the thoughts as you all move upward, where is the Aboleth though?

[Frosty]

"Forget swimming. Let's just teleport up there if you can. That thing is already in the water."

[Greyen]

Swimming and teleporting your way up you all see the thing first. You all recognize the Harbringer for what it is, a Horned Devil. Deeply branded into its chest is an outline of the holy symbol of Kurtlmak.

Intent on swimming, it does not notice you. (Rolled a 1 on its spot check, go figure ) Yet.

[Frosty]

ooc - do I need to roll Knowledge (the planes) to identify this Horned Devil's traits? I've a +15 bonus on the check.

Celeste Guerrier

Having gotten the jump on the opposition, Celeste considers how to best defeat the Horned one. The beautiful demon uses one of more potent Spell-like abilities to hide herself from sight (SLA: Greater Invisibility). If she is still undetected, she'll chant a quick incantation (swift action: Assay Spell Resistance) to help get pass the probable Spell Resistance this devil has before she starts trying to delay the monster with an extreme amount of PAIN! (Wrack SLA. DC 29 Fort or be blind and helpless for 9 rounds and then be shaken for (3d10)[28] minutes.

ooc this is two turns worth of actions.

[Frosty]

ooc - I need to roll to get past Spell Resistance. (1d20+19)[38]

[Lochar]

Waetir

Waetir grins darkly, although it can't be seen with him invisible and still hovering in the water.

A twitch of his free hand, and two beams of pure cold lash out, catching the demon and striking it hard.

Spoiler

Supernatural, cold sub'd scorching ray. With sneak attack. You picked the wrong monster, cause it can't see invis at ALL. :P

Ranged Touch 1: (1d20+22)[33]

Damage: (4d6)[22] Cold plus (4d6)[10] Cold SA

Waetir floats to the side thirty feet afterwards, to get away from the point of origin of his attack.

[Paragon Badger]

Sophiel merely stood before the beast, her expression slightly bored as she regarded it. With a smirk, the celestial picked up her glaive and flew towards the devil, bringing her weapon down towards it's skull.

Spoiler

Likewise making a knowledge check if needed. (1d20+18)[27]

...What awful rolls. X_X

[Greyen]

The Horned Demon roars as the spells slam into him. Hissing it turns as Sophiel rushes into its reach. He glaive glancing off its scales.

It lashes out with its Spiked Chain at Sophiel The Followers of Kurtlmak have sent me to destroy you! I have destroyed one of your companions. It is a flurry of savagery.

{ooc-No penalties for anyone acting in the water, its too much math, unless someone has an issue with that?}

Celeste unleashes her spell the Horned Devil writhes in pain.
Fort - (1d20+16)[18]
An keeps writhing for a while.

-everyone post 9 rounds of devil stomping-

or should I just wrap it up here?

[Frosty]

ooc - coup de-grace? All of us go to it and CDG it...I'm sure it's OVER. It rolled a TWO on its fort save. It sucketh to be thou.

[Paragon Badger]

IC post soon to follow. Rolling numbers... Uhhh.

Spoiler

Hit only once by the chain, *kisses +4 bonus to AC from aura*

HP: 38/58

Fortitude vs. Stun: (1d20+21)[26]

"The natural weapons of any non-good summoned creature automatically fail unless the creature's spell resistence negates Sophiel's caster level check."

Spell Resistence to negate bite; (1d20+9)[12]
Spell Resistence to negate tail; (1d20+9)[19]

Edit: Sophiel dead. Stun brought her AC down to 21, making her elligible to be hit by another chain attack... which brings her HP down enough for the bite and tail to finish her off. X_X

If I had made the save, she'd be one lay on hands away from full health, as if it never happened. Talk about save or die.

[Greyen]

The twitching and writhing Horned Demon is quickly killed by thse of you that survive.

Sophiel, having been devastated by the fiends savage attacks feels her soul slip away, passing the planar barriers. Her body quickly decomposes into sparkling motes which twinkle and fade. Nothing more than dust in the water.

@Sophiel

Spoiler

You reform in the chamber of pools in (1d4)[3] days. After that you can easily return to the material plane and resume your travels. No other penalties. Isn't it nice to place immortals?

[WhiteKnight777]

Zariel

The devil cursed in Infernal as he watched Sophiel's body dissipate. But it was really no more than a minor inconvenience... still, irritating. I suggest we use this as leverage with the Aboleth... we took care of a threat to it, and they are orderly creatures. Surely it will see a debt is owed. And if not, we will ensure that it sees thus.

[Frosty]

ooc - Badger, did you take into account any DR you have? Mine requires both Cold Iron and Law to overcome.

Celeste Guerrier

Celeste stops to offer a quick prayer to Trual. "Oh benevolent master, please reform Sophiel with expedience so that she may continue to help spread your glory." Looking at Waetir and Zariel, she agrees, "Yes, we should take the corpse of this demon to the Aboleth...and then afterwards maybe show it to the Kobold Elders. That'll teach them not to mess with the power of Trual!"

[Greyen]

Speaking of the corpse, it is rapidly sinking into the dark waters of the Undersea.

[Frosty]

*bump* where is everyone?

If nothing else, Celeste will swim and carry the body along, if she can do it on her own. In water, it shouldbe easier than on land.

[Greyen]

*Dunno, maybe its time to let this game die...its up to you all right now as to what happens*

Celeste swims down and grabs the sinking body by its ankle, it is heavier than it looks even in the water. She swims back up to the others, with the prickling sensation of being watched.
