IC Game Thread - The Hunt Starts

[kevin_video]

The death knight general seems rather mobile, making it harder to hit him, but two magic arrows do hit him square.

AC 51 with Mobility, and immune to criticals.

[kevin_video]

The kelvezu demon double moves, and sees the general takes two arrows in the back. She immediately flips the flying cleric the middle finger with her left hand.

[Stormcrow]

When Raynor runs through the building (vea the second floor) and Jumps out the window he looks at the CK for a moment saying “By the Holy Book”  as he looks at the as if he as seen a ghost then says focusing on it says in Celestial “Ancient one I have no Quarrel with you But may a hummable worm may ask? Why are you here and in who’s service you are in this day? ”

Knowledge (Plans) 1d20+17 ? [6,17] = (23) (I will guess he knows what a Concordant killer is )

Unfortunately you don't know exactly who or what he is, but you have an idea. You know that he's neither celestial nor fiendish, but of both. You're pretty sure he understands your Celestial.

I had to double check your sheet because I couldn't believe your CHA was +0, but it is. You don't think you're going to win him over with your knowledge of the language, but at least you're giving it a shot. You think you're being polite.

The outsider looks up at you.

"Is that Celestial you are trying to speak, man? You need to work on that. It's horribly broken. If I did not already not care one way or another about you and your kind, nor have a mission, I'd slap you upside the head just for the pride of the Celestial language itself."  Shaking his head, he continues. "When things have calmed, and if I choose to do so, I may explain things, and have you explain yourselves as well. In response to your question, I will only say that a druidic goddess, that you may have heard of, currently has me in her employ. I seek only the druid Jaccob Rem. He is wanted for questioning regarding various missing persons."

[kevin_video]

Des and Rez fly up another 60 feet.

Lia is down.

Drexs keeps on eye on Alkazar, unsure as to why he's now a roper, while trying to pay attention to Raynor as well.

[Stormcrow]

Raynor Quickly replays in common “the Druid Jaccob Rem. I am here to retrieve what is more probably his latest victims then there is a dead paladin in the house I was about to try and have him resurrected to see if i can get you are free to question him if you want after I tend to my comrades and the wait ever is creating that racket ”

[kevin_video]

The general nearly stumbles as the two arrows sink into his back. He wants very badly to take on the cleric, but he knows he can't attack from the distance he's currently at, and his immediate prey is so close to him.

He hastily moves another 60 feet, while pulling out a wand.

Standard action, he uses it.

Use Magic Device 1d20+16=23

Inflict Critical Wounds 4d8+8=30

[kevin_video]

The other death knight hastily double moves.

[Mixster]

Alkazar looks up at the Semi-Celestial:
Speaking in Common
Since my Celestial is rusty too, I will tell you this in common: Good you are not here to attack us at random. Among others we are looking for this Jaccob Rem, as well. There is a dead dwarf, by the name of Roryn Stoneshield, inside this mansion. There has been an attempt at communicating with his body, but not at reviving him. To find information on where there are any survivors, if any. To my knowledge the attempt was unsuccessful. Do you wish to work together with us? Seeing as our goals coincide.

[kevin_video]

Can you talk when you're in the form of a roper?

The being looks down on the dragonborn, from his height of 10 feet. "I don't want to work against you, if that's what you're asking. I can't help in a resurrection though. I'm not equipped to do that."

Did I write Roper? Meant Choker, if I'm mistaken I change into a Half Red, Black, White, Green, Blue, Beige, Platinum Dragon Choker. Before I talk to him, chokers can speak.

[kevin_video]

For anyone who's watching the battle between the demons and whatever the creature it was that they were fighting, and pining after, the combat only lasts for about a minute before you see this epically large aura of light, that could outshine a daylight spell at point blank range, explode out of area the fight took place in. Afterwards, there is only silence.

I literally went through a simulated scenario to see who would have won. They won. Barely. One thing's certain though. Everyone's opinion that this creature is not as powerful as everyone keeps making it out to be is turning out to be quite valid. Granted, for its CR, their resource usage was about right. Of course they probably would have had an even easier time if they hadn't already used some of that against you guys.

[Stormcrow]

Raynor notices the light and says "They will be a problem later and it will soon be night and then shakes his head saying well do you want me to resurrect the dwarf with that scroll or by summoning a astral Deva and have her do it , it makes little difference to me ?"

[Mixster]

Remembering the druid, Melkior hurries back, and runs a Revenance + Revivify Combo on him (get up again without a level loss).

We should use the astral Deva on the Dwarf, saving the scroll that can get us back without us forgetting our things for later. As of now, we should find a safe place to set up camp. I trust you can use your Rope Trick Alkazar?

Alkazar Nods.

[kevin_video]

Alenatorion flies down and rallies with the rest of the group, and looks at them with a grim look on his face.

"I heard the roar of a dragon, in the not too far distance. I can still hear it. The eerie echo of its roar sends chills down my spine. It's of an evil dragon. Could be black, red, or something else, but I know that style of roar. I've been fearing that this whole plot may have been done up by an evil dragon since the moment I got the scroll of help in my hands. Now I know that one at least has a hand in it. The half breed that we just faced off with doesn't count though. My honor demands that I face it, head on. So regardless of whether you come with me or not to face it, I'll be challenging it. I just wanted you all to know this ahead of time."

It's all in his background and backstory from being a dragon slayer.

Des and Rez won't let him go alone. When he leaves, they'll go with him as backup.

The concordant killer walks up to everyone, and shakes his head at Melkior's suggestion. "If you're going to stay here, and make camp, I'll be on my way once I get the information I need from this mansion, you, and possibly the dwarf. I'm on a tight schedule. I'm to find the druid, and find out what exactly's going on here. At the same time, I must find a ranger who disappeared. He was sent here before me in an undercover mission, and never returned. His name's Drake. He looks like a thorny dragon, but is actually plant. Plant. Ranger. Go figure, right? Anyways, he volunteered to be a covert for Ehlonna and search out this place after she'd gotten word of its existence. After he left to come here, her link to him was almost immediately severed. He's not dead though as she's not been able to find his soul. Apparently the same thing happened to the druid not long after this plane was created, but people have at least seen him walking about and talked to him."

He reaches behind him, and pulls out a pair of medium-sized shackles. "While I don't much like them, if any of you see him, secure him. These shackles were made by Ehlonna herself. I'm to put them on him the second I encounter him. From the information I've gathered on him and his team, that shouldn't be hard in the slightest."

If anyone asks him, in OOC content, he tells you that everyone in the party is around 15-16th level, at best. They're just really rich, and have a bunch of extravagant and expensive toys to play with.

[Sohala]

Readied 1d20+21=29, 2d4+11=14
1d20+21=27, 2d4+11=15 AoO
Full attack 1d20+21=23, 2d4+11 =13, 1d20+21=32, 2d4+11 =14 1d20+15=16, 2d8+6=19

No 20s, so all misses.

Do you move away for the duration of Revenance, or should I keep rolling?
Or are you casting, dismissing, and then casting again?

When the human came into reach of the bear it lashed out, but struck some unseen barrier, even as it tried again and again.

[Stormcrow]

Raynor will uses the Scroll of True Resurrection on the dead Durid and says "wecome back to the Ranks of the liveing, I will tend to your wounds in side for now,  just wait till i have gotten the dwarf alive as well" Then sees if the tenticals are till blocking the door way if they are he will go around them throught another door and and all the berriors (if they are still active) till he gets to the room with the dwarf there unless something hapens before that he casts Summon monster 7 summoning a Movanic Deva and says to her "If you would be a dear and raise the dead dwarf there are many that would like to have a word with him." (ie has her use the SLA raise dead on the dwarf)

[kevin_video]

Don't forget to change the coloring of your text when you're talking, and DC 30 Summoning CL check or the deva doesn't appear.

[Stormcrow]

Cast roll 1d20+23 ? [11,23] = (34)

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2912681/

((Reminder Spell Focus (Conjuration) + and Domain Summoner as well as Practiced Spellcaster  gets the caster level to 23 for Summoning spells )

[kevin_video]

No, that's fine. Just needed to have that done up. It's a success.

The deva casts the spell on the fallen dwarf.

He twitches, a level drained from him.

Knowledge (Nobility) DC 20

He's a LN cleric 10/fighter 6 (cleric 9 now that he's lost a level). The third of three sons from the Stoneshield empire (one of the richest dwarven families ever), and the fourth person to join the Hunter's Wealth when he became of age. He's 86 years old, and one of Tarmin Squire's best friends. He was actually the one who introduced Tarmin to the guild nearly a year ago. He's brash, but fair. He's not one for chaos, as he enjoys order, like all Stoneshields who worship Moradin do. He's always up for a good fight, but detests unsportsman-like fights that involve cheating, and stabbing someone in the back. His armor and dwarven waraxe are also his pride and joy. They cost a pretty penny, but they were worth it for him.

Very few know not of him. Unlike the others, only he and Tarmin are publicly known to hold their own in a fight.
