- Summary: Hired by a minor lord to clear demons out of his manor.
- APL: 4
- Encounter 1: 3 Abrikandilu CR 6
So with the demons and devils that have been let loose in Alexandria, a few such demons have invaded the manor of Lord Artisia, a minor noble of the city. He has been driven from his manor and hired people to clean the demons out. Hopefully before they destroy too much of his artwork.
As such you were all hired and given directions to the manor, of which you now stand outside. The front door is slightly cracked open obviously not locked.
Raven hair braided so tightly around her skull that it's likely to hurt, expression set and severe, Halena looks up at the open mansion, one hand on the hint of a longsword that doesn't look entirely of a piece with the apparently motherly disposition. "May His wings shield us, and His light burn the taint from this place," she murmurs, eyes on the door before she looks around at the others. "We should be about our business. No sense dilly-dallying."
Since a certain sorcerer has a little bit of experience with demons, Vasya answered the call of the manor home invasion. "Well... I imagine this'll help me work the kinks out of what I've got then." She says walking her way up towards the door, but looking behind her to see who else will show up.
Ezriya arrives fashionably on time, as per the usual on a job. The egalrin is a little non-plussed with the size of the manor as she arrives, storing the small map she was given in a small pouch on her back. She pat-pat-pats her shoulder as she sees a few others that have seemingly decided to take up the same mission. She passes them all a feathery wave before blinking a few times.
"Uhm...hmm. Before we head inside, we don't perhaps have a quick breakdown of each other's talents do we? It might be wise to know before misdirection becomes a thing, like an unwanted condiment on a sandwhich."
Kailin approaches the manor and this time has a thick maul on his shoulder rather than a long polearm that had had been more familiar with over the last severla weeks. He gives a nod towards those present and a smile to Vasya. "Hello again." To Ezriya he waves a hand. "Well met. It has been a while, my recruiter. Your advice has served me well." He motions to himself, a bit different than since he first met her in the city. He then nods to Halena and introduces himself, "Greetings. I'm Kailin. I sing the songs of bardic renown, but also hail from the barbarian tribes of the north, leaning on each side of my training as necessary." The last part he says to everyone in general then moves towards the door and moves up close to it. "I guess we shall begin." He presses an ear against the door to see what he might hear.
There are distant sounds of smashing and things breaking, though it doesn't sound like it is right on the other side of the doors, maybe further in.
Halena pauses and turns to look /up/ at the Egalrin, a blink of surprise fading into a smile. "Of course you're right," she admits. Her own allegiance is clear as day, with a gold-colored tabard bearing the device of Daeus Sun-Lord on its front and back, over a breastplate, which is in turn covering the breast of loose, ankle-length white robes. "I am Sunguard Halena, and while I am still new to His temple, I have made it my mission to seek and banish such as these from the face of Ea, wherever I may find them." A cleric of Daeus, trained in demon lore, then.
She nods up at Kailin. "I do love the bards, but there just aren't enough of them in Alexandria. I look forward to working with all of you." She looks next to Vasya.
Vasya chuckles at Kailin and nods her head. "Welp....you know what I can do then." She says softly as she looks to Ezriya. "Sorcerer, however, I'll be staying near Kailin here. he and I took out some demons in Goblintown recently. he knows what I'll do."
Ezriya offers a polite bow of familiarity towards Kailin, recalling him from before. Towards everyone else, she seems quite jovial. "And naturally, I should mention myself. My name is Ezriya. I too, am a sorceror. So I suppose me and and the other sorceror will be sticking it out together hmm? Anyhow..."
She gestures towards the door with an open palm. "Shall we proceed? After you all."
Kailin smiles and gives a relaxed nod. "Sound like they are still busy with the destruction we were told about. We could try to sneak in on them, but we might probably do better by charging in and trying to get the element of surprise. I'm not the most inconspicuous of folks." He swings the maul off his shoulder and lets the head of it fall into his off hand. "Up to you guys. If anyone wants to go in quiet, say so now... Otherwise I lead with a song to Kor..." Unless someone speaks up, he leads the way, pushing open the door with his foot and starting inside, following the sounds of destruction as he starts into a run.
Seeing the others head for the door, Halena draws a deep, steadying breath, and turns to follow. Robes are very useful for not letting your companions see your knees wobble .... but head for the door she does.
Sliding her way in as well, Vasya makes sure to cast a mage armor spell for herself...so she's protected at least.
<OOC> Vasya will use that spell slot now for Mage armor.
The entryway is empty but there are tapestries and a few paintings that have all be shredded. There is a staircase at one end of the hall and two doors off the hallway. The doors are closed.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Can we pinpoint the sounds of the partying?"
Ezriya takes a deep breath and then exhales, wordlessly casting Mage Armor on herself as well. As everyone else goes in, she makes sure to go in last, leaving the front door open just a smidgen. Her voice lowers to a whisper.
"If these were men, I would suggest stealth. Since they are not, the faster they are removed from existance, the better."
<OOC> Tiasa says, "perception rolls" GAME: Vasya rolls perception: (17)+4: 21 GAME: Ezriya rolls Perception: (7)+6: 13 GAME: Kailin rolls perception: (20)+11: 31 GAME: Ezriya casts Mage Armor. Caster Level: 4 DC: 14 GAME: Halena rolls perception: (6)+3: 9 You paged (Kailin, Vasya) with 'door on the left.'
Vasya turns her head a bit. "There." She says pointing to the door on the left. "Anyone else hear it too?"
Kailin smirks and gives a nod of agreement to Ezriya. "I hear that." He pauses a moment and turns an ear. "Also... I hear that." He points his heavy maul with one arm in the direction of the sound coming from behind the door on the left. "Someone open the door from me and I'll hit the entryway at full speed." He warms up a bit, giving someone time to get to the door. He does a front flip, then back again, stretching his legs up to his chest one at a time. Then when the timing is just right... he charges forward, his long strides carrying him quickly in that direction, determined to hit the doorway at full speed.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Starting bardic performance, inspire confidence" <OOC> Halena says, "Bonus?"
"I hear nothing." And then Kailin's dashing for the door, and Halena can only hold up a hand to futilely try to stop him. "Wait...." The Sunguard's voice trails off, and her shoulders slump a moment before she pulls her own blade, holding it in both hands.
<OOC> Tiasa says, "+1 hit/dam and save vs fear and charm"
Ezriya would have liked to have given her answer, but a certain large individual started doing an acrobatics routine. In the interest of not becoming a feathered pancake, the egalrin gives the bard...as much space as he needs. But with others rushing in, Ez reaches forward and with a very quick grab to the door's knob, she twists it open so that whomever was barrel rushing in, didn't need to worry about the decadent scattering of wood that would have happened if they indeed did charge through it.
Although that would have been pretty cool.

It is now Ezriya's turn! d2 is next!
GAME: Note Flat-footed on Ezriya ended. You paged Ezriya with 'you can see at least 1 creature in the room, dwarf deformed, horned 4' tall massive, ugly, hideous, ripping at a painting though it is starting to turn towards the door.' <OOC> Ezriya casts Magic missile?
After one last look at the charging bardbarian, Halena shakes her head slowly in a gesture that can only read, _what. an. idiot._ With a soft, feminine sigh, she holds the blade she draw up before her, point up to face the sky. "Daeus, Lord of Light, imbue your servant's weapon with the power to destroy this filth." Her free hand takes up her holy symbol, and she touches it to the blade; the response is a golden flash that sweeps up through the blade and leaves a faint, white-gold sheen of magic behind.
GAME: Ezriya casts Magic Missile. Caster Level: 4 DC: 14 GAME: Ezriya rolls 2d4+1: (5)+1: 6 Kailin has reconnected. <OOC> Tiasa says, "it gets hit, pose it." GAME: Tiasa advances the initiative order.

<OOC> Tiasa says, "Kailin door opens, you see one creature you can probably finish charging." You paged Kailin with '4'tall hideous deformed, horned demon.' <OOC> Kailin says, "Sure I'll do it. With power attack." <OOC> Vasya says, "Can I do something before he attacks?" <OOC> Vasya says, "and I'm sure he'll appreciate it." <OOC> Tiasa says, "yes you can. you init moves to his" <OOC> Kailin says, "I'll delay for it."
Ezriya 's eyes glow a soft orange as she channels her first spell, the caster opening her arms outwards, her palms facing up. Two football sized, translucent crystals form in them. Utilizing the small space in the doorway she had available, she flings them up into the air and takes aim. Using the top corners of the doorframe, the crystals fire forward, slamming and shattering against the one small monster she could see. As soon as that's over, she gets right back out of the doorway, eager to not be in the way of the others.
<OOC> Vasya would like to trip the demon he's going to charge, using my tanglevine. <OOC> Tiasa says, "spell?" <OOC> Vasya says, "Verdant sorc special." <OOC> Vasya can do it from 15 ft back. <OOC> Tiasa says, "unfortunately going to have to say, you are just a little too far. you can move into the doorway and do it, but not from where you are standing." <OOC> Vasya says, "K. then I'll go after Kailin."

<OOC> Tiasa says, "roll perception" GAME: Vasya rolls perception: (12)+4: 16 You paged Vasya with 'there is the one kailin hit that is seriously hurt and two others further in but in range of your vines, though on opposite sides of the rooms.'

<OOC> Tiasa says, "halena, kailin and Vasya in room, E is just outside room and you are outside room." <OOC> Halena says, "How far frm where I am now is it to the enemy?"
After Kailin goes crashing his way into the room, Vasya steps in and surveys the room. "There's three in here. Watch your right!" She says snapping a vine out to the demon on the same side of the room as her. Only the demon jumps over the tendril. "there's one on the left too!"
Kailin comes through the feont door with the oversized maul at his hip, trailing behind him. The first demon he sees gets his attention and he barrels into it, releaaing his coiled strike. The weapon whips forward into the small thing but meets a solid resistance. The impact is jarring, but not enough to wipe it from existence. Still Kailin gives a shout of triumph as the battle is joined.
<OOC> Tiasa says, "you can't see from where you are now. but its about 20' from where you are now would have to move more into doorway or step in to see it for sure, you can guess about where it is." <OOC> Halena says, "OK. Cast bless and then move towards the one that Ezriya hit with MM." <OOC> Halena says, "+1 morale bonus to attacks. Stacks with bardsong." GAME: Halena casts Bless.

That done, Halena lowers the blade into a ready position and holds forth her holy symbol with her free hand. "Lord of Light, look kindly on us as we do Your work!" she shouts, a wash of warmth emanating out from the sun symbol in her hand. That done, she fairly storms into the room in the direction of the demon the eaglrin's attacking at range.
One of the demons moves away from the wall and over to Kailin and tries to take a chunk out with its teeth and misses. THe one that Kailin hit then turns as well and tries to bite and gets its claws into Kailin. One of the claws hits and causing a little pain.
<OOC> Tiasa says, "ezriya" <OOC> Ezriya says, "Hmm.s" <OOC> Tiasa says, "your go" <OOC> Ezriya casts Scorching Ray. <OOC> Tiasa says, "one not in combat, 1 on Kailin and one on Kailin that is seriously hurt" <OOC> Ezriya fires at the second one mentioned.

Round Two - Init 4.
It is now Kailin's turn! Vasya is next!
<OOC> Kailin says, "Standard attack on the damaged one and cleave to another if I hit."
The last unengaged creature moves to Halena and tries to take a chunk out with its teeth but fails, barely, teeth on armor.
<OOC> Tiasa says, "ok." GAME: Kailin rolls melee+1+1-2: (16)+10+1+1+-2: 26
Ezriya keeps her position using the door frame as cover and spots one other one near Kailin. Channeling her magic, her outstretched hand becomes soon become engulfed in flames. While normally one would be excessively worried about random ignition, she keeps her calm and points her finger out. The fire is drawn onto one, single white-hot point at her fingertip,w hich is then fired towards the creature, searing it. As soon as it was over, the fingertip smolders, the egalrin wincing with the impact from that spell.
"Bah...that one's tricky."
<OOC> Tiasa says, "hit, roll damage and then roll the cleave attack" GAME: Kailin rolls 2d6+9+6+1: (10)+9+6+1: 26 GAME: Kailin rolls melee+1+1-2: (6)+10+1+1+-2: 16 <OOC> Tiasa says, "that one is dead. that hits as well" GAME: Kailin rolls 2d6+9+6+1: (6)+9+6+1: 22 <OOC> Tiasa says, "it is now seriously hurt as well."
Kailin is swarmed by attacks feom demons and uses a sweep of his maul to keep as many away as possible and though the defense ia not perfexr he dances though many of the attacks with a flowing, practiced style that defies his size. One foot shoots out and he plants, corcling his large maul around his body and as he comes out of the spin the earthbreaker shoots out, extending into the body of his original target, knocking it from its feet and continuing into the body of the next with the same vicious force. It slams against the second, rocking it and he shouts out again, giving praise to Kor as the battledancer's patron.

Seeing Kailin has everything under control, Vasya turns her attention to Halena, who is beset by a demon of her own. the Vine lashes out and yanks the demon off it's feet to the ground. "Kneel before Vasya." She snickers, despite the serious situation.

Round Three - Init 18.
It is now d3's turn! d1 is next!
Unfortunately, as useful as that trendril is, it seems to throw an uncertain Halena off. She makes to slash downward at it, b ut the sudden disappearance of her target leaves the gold-sheened blade to slash harmlessly over the creature's head -- if it can be called a head. "Agh!"
<OOC> Tiasa says, "it stands up, which draws an aoo from Halena I believe." <OOC> Halena says, "It does."

Round Three - Init 4.
It is now Kailin's turn! Vasya is next!
Ezriya takes a step forward into the room now that things seem to be progressing away from it. Her same hand reignites itself and rather than casting the ray again, a literal gout of fire shoots from her, scorcing said monster. Hopefully anyway.
The one creature is holding onto its life and tries to bite and claw Kailin again and only gets a claw against that does any damage.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Same as before" <OOC> Kailin says, "cleave and power attack." <OOC> Tiasa says, "not close enough to cleave, but you can hit the one." <OOC> Kailin says, "No problem. :-)" GAME: Kailin rolls melee+1+1-2: (2)+10+1+1+-2: 12 <OOC> Tiasa says, "miss" GAME: NEW ROUND!

<OOC> Tiasa says, "ezriya"
Halena's still engaging the thing, lips set in a thin line, but her inexperience with the blade is showing, and it slithers out of the way of her next strike.
The one fighting Halena tries to bite and claw again and again, only one claw managing to find purchase.
<OOC> Ezriya casts burning hands again. <OOC> Tiasa says, "which one?"
Kailin tosses his maul up and catches it high in the air, bringing it down after a twist of his body. The draw down is off the mark however and the heavy head of the earthbreaker slams into the floor instead. He spins with agile quickness around the weapon and draws it up inro his hands defensively. "Still doing good. Keep it up!"
<OOC> Ezriya says, "If the one she tried for before is still around, burn that one." <OOC> Tiasa says, "k" GAME: Ezriya casts Burning Hands.

It is now Kailin's turn! Vasya is next!
<OOC> Tiasa says, "kailin will be your turn, after Ezriya and I pose"
Ezriya frowns at the monster's overall resiliance. It wasn't often things seemed to ignore flames. She gives the spell another shot, putting both of her hands together to fire a larger gout of flame at the target. Surely this had to work! The one on Kailin seems to shrug off the flames and tries to attack again and nothing manages to hit this time.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Regular attack for me, no power attack." <OOC> Tiasa says, "ok" GAME: Kailin rolls melee+1+1: (10)+10+1+1: 22 <OOC> Tiasa says, "hit" GAME: Kailin rolls 2d6+9+1: (3)+9+1: 13 <OOC> Tiasa says, "dead" GAME: NEW ROUND!

Round Five - Init 24.
It is now Vasya's turn! Halena is next!
Kailin takes a more cautious approach on his next strike, though his flair and showmanship do not throttle down at all. He ducks low and spins, using the earthbreaker as a base before leaping up into a wide stance and winging the weapon in a diagnoally arcing line. It contacts the demon solidly and there's a crunch on impact that sends the creature folded over to the ground under the weight of the metal and the bardarian's strength. "Everyone good?

The shout filters through to Halena's ears, just in the nick of time. Without thinking, she strikes low, and this time, the gold-sheened blade connects with an ugly *squerp* that leaves her robes covered in demon ichor.
And yet, somehow, the thing moves to get to its feet! Snarling, the woman brings down the blade one more time with an overhand slash that finally drops it lifeless to the floor. Panting, she straightens, filthy blade still in hand, and looks around her. "My thanks," she tells Vasya. "That was well done of you."
And then, she whirls on Kailin, scolding him rather like a naughty child. "Next time, young man, you'll wait for the rest of us. I had spells that could have aided you." She stares hard at him, then sighs and looks him over. "Are you hurt?"
Vasya chuckles at Halena. "Oh he did fine, Sunguard. If He waited, we might'v ebeen ambushed." She then looks to Ezriya. "Are you okay?" She says as the vine she was using wraps back around her arm.
<OOC> Halena says, "Tiasa, knowledge check. What are these creatures?"
Ezriya exhales deeply as soon as the last demon was killed, and just as quickly as it happened, her eyes return to normal. She looks over the party at large and seems fairly happy about their performance. "That took a little longer than I would have liked, but it seemed like it went well. How are you feeling Kailin?"
<OOC> Tiasa says, "knowledge/the planes" GAME: Halena rolls knowledge/the planes: (20)+7: 27 You paged Halena with 'Abrikandilu, wrecker demons, footsoldiers known for destroying beauty.'
Kailin hefts his maul onto his shoulder again and gives a cheer as the last goes down. That's interrupted by Halena's scolding and he sighs lightly. "Aye. Sometimes I get ahead of myself. Apologies then..." He gives a slight shake of his head and says, "I'll be fine. I'll take care of it." He purses his lips and gives a slow nod. "And sorry again if I rushed into anything too quickly. I'm often distracted. Sometimes it works well... sometimes not."
From afar, Halena nodnods. Got it. <OOC> Tiasa says, "anything else or ready for wrap up?" <OOC> Halena says, "One more pose."
Only slightly mollified, Halena gives Kailin a hard look. "Well, you're fortunate at any rate. Just remember, demons are hardy creatures, but they cannot withstand the force of Light. A weapon imbued with the Sun Lord's holy power will pierce any demon's defenses." A half-smile softens the rebuke a little. "I've seen the lore on these," she adds, "though I had never actually seen one myself. These have to be the abrakandilu. They're footsoldiers, but they're wrecker demons. They like to take beautiful things and reduce them to rubble, the foul things." She lowers the blade, and pulls a rag from her belt to clean it with, a gesture that clearly isn't natural to her. "We ought to return and report our findings." She pauses, studying the dead thing intently.
You can search the rest of the manor, but other than some damage in other rooms, it seems like it was only these three demons and no others. You clean up the bodies and report to the noble. He pays you and sends you on your ways.
