Fighting on The Side of Reality or Dream, Destruction of Tranquility.
"I strrongly SUGGEST that you rrevoke yourr judgement and leave this town in peace." - DM Hugh | Asimov and Irony d20+7=23 ; d20+6=20 ; d8+4=12 ; d3=3 ; d3=1 ; d20+14=28 ; d20+17=36 ; d8+5=12 ; d20+7=23 ; d20+7=22 ; 2d4+1=7 ; 2d4+1=6 ; d8-1=5 ; d3=2 ; d20+9=18 ; d20+9=28 ; d20+8=23 ; d20+8=22 ; d20+8=20 ; d10+3=8 ; d8+2=8 ; d8+3=6 ; d8+3=10 ; d20+9=28 ; d20+9=24 ; d20+8=21 ; d10+3=6 ; d10+3=9 ; Wednesday September 21st, 2022 12:26:39 AM
Asimov isn’t really a diplomat and just asks, “Why can’t we all just be friends?”
He steals himself and Irony to protect the girl or her mother if things get hairy.
Asimov readied his weird science device which was his freeze ray corrosive pistol While Irony was prepared to slam.
23 vs touch; 3 cold + 1 acid 20 vs AC; 12 physical damage
=============================
Munhildur grows to her full height and gives an impassioned plea to the inquisitors preparing to physically intervene if they ignore her.
The Twins are tempted to shoot the inquisitor as soon as he opens his mouth but think better of it.
Zeoll sees Bill spit on Grand Inquisitor Frollo but Frollo resists becoming sickened (OOC: Camel entry says if one fails a DC 13 fort save they become sickened and Frollo rolled a 27 so he isn’t sickened) then Zeoll himself tries to suggest that Inquisitors leave but Frollo succeeds against the spell as well (Frollo rolled a 30)
Honor attempts to use diplomacy to diffuse the situation but doesn’t really have a good go of it.
Elron decides to put the whappin’ stick away and also attempts to appeal to logic and reason.
Asimov isn’t really a talker so he prepares Irony and himself to intervene if things get rough.
Nin Gikuga says to the party, “Thank you for getting involved”
Sadly though all attempts to diffuse the situation have failed. Frollo undeterred by your appeals calls out, “The adventurers are clearly in league with the witch and part of her evil cult. Burn them too!”
Frollo casts a spell targeting Nin Gikuga (Spellcraft DC 23 Highlight to display spoiler: {disintegrate} and a sickly green ray of light jumps at her. Kyria dives in the way of the spell and calls out “YOU DARE??”
Kyria seems to become something different…a subimage of the demon appears interposed over Kyria’s body and it swipes at Frollo sending him into Gibbering antics. One of the other Inquisitors calls out, “The demon has corrupted Lord Frollo, we must save his soul through force of arms!” and 2 of the priestly looking inquisitors begin to advance on the gibbering Frollo while the red haired hunchback throws down his bell and prepares to defends the grand inquisitor
Then Kyria withdraws into herself becoming a pure dream, crying out one last thing: “I just wanted to be with my friends! And none of you would let me…not you, the mayor, not you, the priests, not you my friends, not even you, my own mother! I…I..only you would protect me! And…” as the demon fades leaving only the full image of her ghostly self remaining, “please…end my suffering…”
As Kyria fades away Nin Gikuga falls to her knees sobbing.
The 8 rough cut men advance on her position triggering readied actions by Asimov, Irony and Mundhildur against some of them.
(OOC: I’ll try to make a map tomorrow but for right now I’m going to describe the layout of this combat)
The people of the village form somewhat of a human barrier with the party, Nin Gikuga and the 8 guards in roughly circlish area
Munhildur hit the first guard which drew the attention of guards 1,2 and 3 in retaliation. She is struck with a halberd and morningstar for her troubles though one of the attacks missed completely. (28 vs AC for 8 damage; 23 vs AC for 8 damage)
Asimov hit the 4th guard which drew the attention of guards 4 and 5 in retaliation He is struck with 2 longspears for his troubles (22 vs AC - 6 damage; 20 vs AC - 10 damage)
Irony hit the 6th guard which drew the attention of guards 6, 7 and 8 in retaliation
The construct is hit twice with a dire flail and halberd (28 vs AC - 6 damage or 3 after hardness; 24 vs AC - 9 damage or 6 after hardness)
Nin Gikuga is unmolested for now
In a smaller area nearby but separated by the standing bodies of villagers several rows thick and impassible for you to get to right now are Frollo, the hunchbacked bell ringer and the other 2 clerics engaged in combat of their own.

"Katya!" Mundhi cries out, anguished at what she witnesses. "Try to knock them out, not kill them," Mundhildur says. "Temper justice with mercy where you can!" She slams AC 18 for 14 hp, AC 19 for 9 hp, non-lethal damage.
"People of this village, let's sort this out without killing anyone! Trip the guards, save the lady and yourselves!"

The Twins slap the nearest guard with the flat of their giant blade. 24 and 16 to hit, 18 and 16 damage.
Zeoll (AC20, HP55) | Bill the Camel (AC20, HP33) | Cayzle Wednesday September 21st, 2022 6:38:49 PM
Zeoll casts Confusion, hoping to take out as many of the enemy as possible without affecting friends. That's a 15 ft radius burst.
Will Save DC21
SteveM - Elron | AC 23 (21 if raging), HP 51/64, DR 2/-- d20+12=19 ; d4=4 ; d6=3 ; Wednesday September 21st, 2022 8:17:54 PM
That went faster than Elron expected, and it's already time to have the weapons out again. He uses his whappin' stick on the nearest guard, and not losing his temper yet.
Elron hits AC 19 for 7 points damage (3 of which is electrical). "Am I seein' th'inquisitors attackin' their own? What kind o' people are you?"
Honor Bright (Kathy) [AC 20; HP 44/50] d20+13=24 ; d8=8 ; d6=1 ; d6=5 ; d6=6 ; d6=3 ; Wednesday September 21st, 2022 9:47:12 PM
Honor moves up to Guard 1, drawing Virtue as she goes. No smiting this time; she doubts the guards are actually evil. Instead she makes a normal attack.
[Hit AC 24 for 12 damage.]
She also heals herself, since she's in combat again. [Use Lay on Hands, which is a swift action when she uses it on herself. Heals 14.]
Asimov takes a five foot step away from the spears of the 2 dance partners that he has picked up. He uses the breathing room to use his medihaler light healing himself for 11 damage.
HP tracker Asimov -5 from max Irony -11 from max
Irony slams at the nearest of the 3 he is engaged with hitting (vs AC 24) for 5 damage
(OOC: I didn't expect to be at my grammas as long as I was. Hopefully I can make a map tomorrow instead)
=====================
Mundhi cries out at what she witnesses and instructs her friends to try to do nonlethal damage as she slams out herself. Sadly if one tries to do nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon unless they are a monk or that weapon has the merciful enchantment that person takes a -4 penalty to attacks so Mundhi actually misses with her to slam (-4 to 19 and -4 to 18 put both attacks at 15 and 14 respectfully)
The Twins hit one of the nearer guards with the flat of of one of their blades
Zeoll casts confusion getting 5 of the guards in the radius of his spell (4,5,6,7,8) considering Irony is immune to mind affecting. All 5 guards become confused.
Elron is surprised at how quickly things escalated and uses his whappin’ stick on the nearest guard which happens to be guard 7. He hits and asks what kind of people are the inquisitors seeing the 2 clerics turn on the grand inquisitor.
Honor moves to guard 1 drawing virtue as she does. She hits him and quickly heals herself since she is in combat again.
Asimov heals himself while Irony presses the attack
The bellringer stabilizes. Frollo continues his tussle with the 2 other clerics but in his confusion he attacks the prone bellringer, killing him. The two clerics use spells against Frollo this time hitting him with their touches though the grand inquisitor manages to resist some of the damage.
Guard 1 keeps attacking Mundhi striking the giantess with his flail. (24 vs AC for 9 damage)
Guard 2 attacks The Twins, missing
Guard 3 attacks Honor, hitting with his morningstar (26 vs AC; 6 damage)
Guard 4 is confused! He attacks Guard 5 in his confusion, missing
Guard 5 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Guard 6 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Guard 7 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Guard 8 is confused! He hurts himself in his confusion
Frollo - Confused - 34 damage Bell Ringer - dead Cleric 1 - 5 damage Cleric 2 - unharmed

The Jotun singer attacks Guard 1 again, non-lethal, AC 28-4=24, damage 9; AC 23-4=19, damage 7.
She then uses her move action to levitate upwards to 20' height. ====== Edit: Forgot to write out this planned move action. She has had the ability to levitate for a while now, but I keep on forgetting to use it. Likely Guard 1 gets an AoO.
Mitch - The Twins HP 48/65 AC 29/15/27 d20+10=28 ; d20+10=18 ; d6=2 ; d6=2 ; d6=2 ; d6=4 ; Thursday September 22nd, 2022 7:25:56 AM
The Twins consider stopping since the guards are confused now, but decides that probably just makes them a danger to themselves and others. They keep slapping people with their metal poking stick (28 and 18 to hit, 14 and 16 damage to 2)
SteveM - Elron | AC 23 (21 if raging), HP 51/64, DR 2/-- d20+11=12 ; d20+11=31 ; d20+11=25 ; d4=4 ; d4=4 ; d6=2 ; d6=1 ; Thursday September 22nd, 2022 7:18:45 PM
Elron continues attacking the guard in front of him, going for a flurry of blows this time. With all due respect to Mundhildur, he does not do nonlethal damage this time around. He's pretty sure the electricity will always be lethal.
Flurry of blows: AC 12, miss AC 31, crit confirmed, for 4+4+2+1 = 11 damage
Rage not active, but 7/12 used in his dream
Zeoll (AC20, HP55) | Bill the Camel (AC20, HP33) | Cayzle Thursday September 22nd, 2022 10:19:40 PM
Zeoll uses his bard song to inspire courage.
Everybody, please accept a +1 to attacks and damage.
A song of courage and battle - DM Hugh | Asimov and Irony d20+8=16 ; d3+1=3 ; d20+6=7 ; d20+9=18 ; d100=51 ; d8+5=8 ; 3d8+7=13 ; 3d8+7=15 ; d20+12=16 ; d20+12=27 ; d20+9=24 ; d20+9=22 ; d20+8=16 ; d100=59 ; d100=41 ; d100=40 ; d100=27 ; d100=22 ; d20+8=19 ; d8+2=8 ; Friday September 23rd, 2022 12:05:00 AM
Asimov uses his corrosive pistol on the nearest guard (16 vs touch; 3 acid damage)
Irony slams again (7 vs AC; miss)
=====================
(OOC: The time got away from me again today. I had to take my gramma to her doctors and work and then I ended up falling asleep early. I will definitely create the map over the weekend)
Mundhi attacks the guard for nonlethal damage this time before she starts to levitate provoking an AOO which misses.
The twins continue to smack people with their metal poking stick
Elron uses a flurry of blows against guard 7 opting to not do nonlethal when he critically smacks him
Zeoll inspires courage in his friends buffing them
Frollo is confused! He hurts himself in his confusion
The other 2 clerics continue to use magic against their fellow
Guard 1 turns his attention to the Twins considering Mundhi has floated out of range and misses
Guard 2 also attacks the Twins missing
Guard 3 goes after Asimov missing as well.
Guard 4 is confused! He hurts himself in his confusion
Guard 5 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Guard 6 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Guard 7 is confused! He does nothing but babble incoherently
Frollo - Confused - 62 damage Bell Ringer - dead Cleric 1 - 5 damage Cleric 2 - unharmed

Elron is confused! He covers it up by doing what he does best -- whappin'.
Flurry of blows on #7 again (he'll get to #8 next): AC 19 for 4+1 = 5 damage AC 26 for 1+6 = 7 damage
Sources of confusion: What happened to Kyria and why are the inquisitors so afraid of themselves? Rage not active, but 7/12 used in his dream
Honor Bright (Kathy) [AC 20; HP 38/50] d20+13=17 ; d20+8=22 ; d8=1 ; Friday September 23rd, 2022 12:53:34 PM
Honor strikes back at Guard 3.
[Hit AC 17 (miss). Hit AC 22 for 5 damage.]
Zeoll (AC20, HP55) | Bill the Camel (AC20, HP33) | Cayzle d20+7=12 ; d6=4 ; d4=4 ; Friday September 23rd, 2022 10:14:21 PM
Zeoll casts Produce Flame and hurls it at Guard One. Ranged Touch attack at +7 hits touch AC12 for 10 fire damage.
Bull charges up and bites Guard One. He hits AC12 for 16 damage. Oh wait, with Inspire Courage, AC13 for 17 damage, but it is still a miss.
[OOC: Per the Confusion spell, "Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes." So the one attacking Elron attacks him back. And were I a rules lawyer power-monger, I'd argue that the ones attacking themselves continue to attack themselves. Good thing I am a reasonable fellow and would not argue such a thing.]

Mundhi says to guard #3, "Throw down your weapons if you don't want to catch this boulder." If he immediately complies, she says, "Good on you then. Try to get your buddies to stand down. We don't want to kill you, but may do so if you all don't stop."
If #3 does not drop his weapons, she hurls the stone at him: AC 20, 20 hp damage (lethal). She takes another stone from her sack. "Change your mind yet?"

Miss Slap. 17 damage. Hopefully this guy goes down soon, it's taking longer then the Twin's expected.

Asimov shoots another round of his corrosive pistol at Guard 4 but misses (natural 1)
Irony tries to slam again hitting guard 7 for 7 damage.
============================ (OOC1: I am going to have to make a map tomorrow. This weekend was my sister's birthday and we ended up doing stuff both days)
Elron flurries at 7 hitting twice
(OOC2: read my DM post a few days back. Frollo used disintegrate against Nin Gikuga but Kyria jumped in front of the spell then the demon was superimposed on Kyria's image before she faded into a dream. Before she faded however the Demon did something to Frollo that made the other Inquisitors attack him)
Honor strikes back at guard 3
Zeoll hits guard 1 with a flame dropping him while Bill misses
Mundhi throws a stone at guard 3 since he didn't drop his weapon when asked
The Twins miss number 2
Frollo attacks the 2 compatriots attacking him striking each once with his weapons. They continue to use spells against him.
Guard number 1 is unconscious
Guard number 2 attacks the twins missing as well
Guard number 3 continues to attack Asimov missing
Guard 4 also attacks Asimov seeing how Asimov attacked him but misses.
Guard 5 is confused! He hurts himself in his confusion
Guard 6 can act normally so he attacks Elron but misses
Guard 7 attacks Elron also missing
Guard 8 also attacks Elron and he misses too since Elron was nearest to him at the time

Zeoll tosses fire at Frollo. He hits touch AC14 for 10 fire damage.
Bill bites at Guard 3, hitting AC25 for 15 damage (including power attack).
The liontaur is still singing, so everybody gets +1 to hit and damage.

Elron is beginning to get the feeling that these guards might be attacking each other if he weren't available as a target. But he's got to at least finish off the one he's been working on so long. . .
Flurry of blows: AC 30 -- 1+6+1 = 8 damage AC 32 (confirmed crit) -- 4+3+6+3+1 = 17 damage
Rage not active, but 7/12 used in his dream

(I said miss slap as in missed the first hit, hit the second)
The Twins continue their 50/50 streak, hitting once (24, 16). Hopefully the 17 damage is enough to finish knocking out guard 2.
Zeoll (AC20, HP55) | Bill the Camel (AC20, HP33) | Cayzle Tuesday September 27th, 2022 8:31:11 PM
Zeoll sings ...

Mundhildur spends this round stabilizing herself in the air. She looks at Nin Gikuga. What is she doing? Is there any evidence of the devil round about her? "Save Frollo," she calls down to her friends. "It's okay to knock him out, but stop the clerics from killing him." ========== Edit: Forgot to note that roll above is for Perception: 24 - trying to figure out what may be up with Nin Gikuga

The Twins wonder how they ended up by guard 4 when they were hitting guard two before but shrug and press the attack. As much as they'd like to go help down Frollo there are to many people between them.
1 hit for 20 damage (non-lethal)
Honor Bright (Kathy) [AC 20; HP 38/50] Wednesday September 28th, 2022 2:08:44 PM
[Weren't we supposed to get a map at some point? Is our access to Frollo still blocked? How far away is he?]
If possible, Honor heads toward Frollo, intending to use her Lay on Hands ability to keep him alive.
SteveM - Elron | AC 23 (21 if raging), HP 51/64, DR 2/-- d20+4=11 ; Wednesday September 28th, 2022 6:38:26 PM
Elron is both disappointed and relieved that the guard he was attacking is doing so well. On the one hand, that was about the best attack he's ever made. On the other, he didn't want the fellow to die. And while he's not wanting guards to die, he attempts to stabilize the one still bleeding out there, (Heal = 11, not the 15 needed)
What Elron really wants is to go fight clerics, not guards. He looks to see if there's a path to that group. Surely people aren't crowding around while they're casting spells like crazy.

Zeoll throws a produced flame at Cleric 1. He hits touch AC11 for 11 fire damage.
Bill moves over and bites guard 4, flanking with the Twins if possible. He bites AC17, or AC19 if he can flank, for 14 damage, still power attacking.
The liontaur continues singing. +1 attacks and damage everybody!
Asimov uses a 5 foot step to disengage from the 2 guards and uses a medihaler medium on himself for 19 damage so that he is only down 1 hp
Irony moves to attack Guard 5 who is attacking his master (11 vs AC; miss) but continues to miss
==============================
Mundhi looks around for Nin Gikuga. The woman is kneeling and weeping where she was when the battle begun. The giantess does not notice any signs of the demon either. She calls for her companions to save Frollo.
The Twins briefly wonder how they got to number 4 when they were attacking 2 but then they shrug (OOC: Number 2 went down before you could attack last round) and continue to press the attack, knocking number 4 out.
Honor wants to move to Frolo and use lay upon hands but the press of bodies is still too much to reach him.
Elron is disappointed and relieved the guard he was attacking isn’t doing so well as he did the best attack he ever did but he doesn’t want any of the guards to die. He attempts to stabilize the one bleeding out.
Zeoll kills Cleric 1 with his produced flame while Bill moves over to 4 with the Twins. Sadly they aren’t really able to flank so Bill’s attack misses.
Frollo attacks the other cleric with his weapon once then looks in horror at his brethren dead and dying at his feet before coup de gracing himself for 24 damage. He falls lifeless to ground.

Poor mother Mundhi thinks. What!? She notes that Frollo just committed suicide. Or, one might deem it assisted suicide. Ah, Irony is under attack. The giantess hurls a stone at the guard #5 who attacks their metallic companion, hitting AC 28 for 16 hp damage. She descends to the ground and moves toward the grieving mother, Nin.

Elron sees that the clerics are down, and that several guards are still bewitched (even if it was by Zeoll). There will be no reasoning with the confused ones, so it's time to get whappin' again. He rages as well. to get this over with as quickly as he can.
Flurry of blows: AC 23 for 1+6+2 = 9 damage AC 20 for 4+4+2 = 10 damage Rage Power -- "spirit wisps" surrounding Elron also attack AC 24 for 1 damage (negative energy)

Since the remaining guards are confused, Honor doesn't want to attack them. She would, however, like to dissuade them from attacking each other. She moves to stand in front of Guard 8. [Double move]

Asimov withdraws from the vicinity of Guard 5
Irony continues to attack Guard 5 hitting for 9 damage
===================================
Mundhi takes pity on Nin before throwing a stone at Guard 5 and descending to the ground moving towards Nin
The Twins tell the guards to surrender but they are confused so they kind of can’t so he hits guard 5 with the flat of his blade for 16 damage
Zeoll tries to convince the confused guards to lay down their arms but this is still the middle of combat and they are confused so they aren’t having any of it
(OOC: all the guards near you are unconscious so I moved you by one of the other guards but if you move you can’t really flurry so I’ll just apply your first attack) Elron hits one of the remaining guards for 9 damage
Honor moves to stand in front of guard 8
The last Cleric fails to stabilize and dies
Guard 1 is unconscious
Guard 2 is unconscious
Guard 3 is unconscious
Guard 4 is unconscious
Guard 5 is confused! He continues to attack Irony missing both times
Guard 6 is confused! He goes to attack Elron this time hitting once (25 vs AC; 6 damage or 4 after DR)
Guard 7 is unconscious
Guard 8 is confused! He still goes to attack 6 hitting once for 10 damage

The Twins will move to guard 6 this time, slapping them to try to knock them out as the only enemy without nonlethal damage on them. (19 to hit and 19 damage)
SteveM - Elron | AC 23 (21 if raging), HP 51/64, DR 2/-- d20+13=21 ; d20+13=16 ; d20+8=26 ; d4=1 ; d4=4 ; Friday September 30th, 2022 3:08:27 PM
Being next to him, Elron attacks guard 6. This man's looking pretty injured, so he can go for the non-lethal attacks this round.
Well, two non-lethal attacks. The spirits do what spirits do.
Flurry of blows: AC 21 for 1+2+1 = 4 damage (non-lethal) AC 16 for miss Rage Power -- "spirit wisps" surrounding Elron also attack AC 26 for 4 damage (negative energy) (this assumes spirits do not get a boost from Zeoll's singing)

Honor attacks Guard 8, hoping to draw his attention to her. [Hit AC 29 for 7 damage.]

Mundhildur on her way to Nin (I don't see her on the map) stops by Guard 2, and tries to stabilize him after kicking away his weapon, using healing: 22 (she even healed him up 1 hp). If he awakens she says, "Lie still, you are badly hurt. Next time listen when I give you a chance." If he does not awaken, she moves on the Guard 3, right next to #2.

Zeoll cancels his confusion spell and repeats his call to stand down.
It’s all my fault. - DM Hugh | Asimov and Irony d20+6=8 ; Sunday October 2nd, 2022 11:09:50 PM
Asimov holds back for now.
Irony goes to attack 5 one more time but misses
==============================
The Twins attack guard 6 knocking him out.
Elron takes a 5 foot step and attacks 8 (nearest target after 6) dealing a little damage
Honor attacks number 8 knocking him out.
Mundhi stops by guard 2. He’s already stabilized but he won’t wake up.
Asimov holds back. Irony attacks 5 one more time but misses
Zeoll cancels his confusion spell and calls for the remaining guard to stand down.
Seeing as all his fellow guards are knocked out and the clerics are dead he throws down his weapons and calls out, “Oh gods! We were only mercenaries hired by the Inquisitors of Infiernos to help guard them and insure anybody the inquisition needed to apprehend was apprehended. With the priests here all dead I’m sure the rest of my men as well as myself would like to chalk this up to a misunderstanding and once everyone is awake again and able to travel, be on our way.”
With the threat over, Nin Gikuga’s sobbing is now audible. “It’s all my fault. Years ago I found a strange temple and learned of its secrets in the dream realm, of magics. But only the beneficial ones would I use…all my life. Then something horrible happened; my daughter, my lovely daughter, died. So I went to the temple and I found the spell of true endless life and I cast it on Kyria’s body. Sure enough Kyria lived on, but then things began to change. She never grew older and seemed to become alien. Then her friends started falling asleep and never waking up. The creature must be put to rest but Kyria…I just don’t know.”
Mitch - The Twins HP 48/65 AC 29/15/27 Monday October 3rd, 2022 6:37:27 AM "Well then." "We'd better get on after her then." The Twins comment. They try to remember where the girl rand off.
SteveM - Elron | AC 23 (21 if raging), HP 51/64, DR 2/-- Monday October 3rd, 2022 7:20:05 AM "Help your comrades with th' fallen an' go," Elron tells the guard. He's more interested in figuring out what Nin is saying than fighting people who don't fight back properly.
Honor Bright (Kathy) [AC 20; HP 38/50] Monday October 3rd, 2022 4:33:08 PM
"True endless life?" Honor echoes. "I'm no expert, but I don't think there is such a spell. Do you remember anything about it?"
Mundhildur Karadottir, Jotun singing giant (7'4" or 10'5" as needed) (Kim) AC 19 Touch 13 FF17 HP 22/69 Monday October 3rd, 2022 7:14:54 PM
"How might the creature be 'put to rest'?" Mundhi asks Nin.
Zeoll (AC20, HP55) | Bill the Camel (AC20, HP33) | Cayzle Monday October 3rd, 2022 8:47:33 PM
Zeoll wonders if the party should feel bad about putting down the inquisitor quite so hard, considering the child was likely a demon or possessed or something..
He shrugs, and does not mention it. Don't want to upset Honor, he thinks. Note that he does not have an accent in his own head.
