In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 54):

as something slams against the left hand door, Var turns to Berry,
"Ima hafta bounce. See yas on da other side."

with that, he disappears in a cloud of noxious vapor.

Amelia glances round.

======
OOC: Does Amelia know Var? And, if so, what his skill set is?

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 56):

Var is Berry's servant and has traveled with you for about a month (3years of play) He is a rascal who has been pleasant but quiet company, and has disappeared in this fashion  before

That has to be a bad sign. Berry says as she casts around looking for danger.

In reply to Berry (msg # 58):

Var could not cross the pentagram in tangible form, and probably will travel through walls. Meanwhile something is at the door and starting to open it...


occ: Gareth decided to wait 10 minutes on the other side of the truth telling door, and y'all are about 30 seconds in

In reply to Narrator (msg # 59):

Haveron stands at the ready as something smashes through the door... a weighted length of chain!

ahead of you is a large inlaid pentacle, opposite the broken door is a door open to gloom

Berry readies a magic bolt and calls out. Hello, we are just uh... not thieves. She inches forward, hoping someone else will take the lead.

In reply to Berry (msg # 61):
[private to Berry: make a hidden lore:demons roll at +1]

the length of chain crashes through the door again,obliterating it.
the smell of sulpher,hot metal, sour milk and musk intensifies

The adept chants... and there is a small sputtering flicker.


[Private to GM:  13:29, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 12 using 3d6.  Armor (3) and his skill is 11   any benefit from location or a lizard gods blessing ;-)  .]

With the chains and smell and all Amelia is reminded of a story she's read about a chain demon! She's not so very brave although the tries to be, but it's a borderline pretense really; a whimper escapes from her mouth and she moves back a pace..

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 64):

Standing firmly in the center of the pentagram, with e eryone behind him,Haveronbrandishes his sword toward the door, with Omar backing him up.
"Stand aside! fell beast,you will not pass me!"

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 65):

a massive red and scaly thing steps through the remains of the door, clawed and horned, with leathery wings and a barbed tail it carries a length of hooked chain...

The Adept, already on Guard, steps forward and swings his sword at the demon's head, he selects a strong attack.

[Private to GM:  12:30, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 3 using 3d6.  Swing to head - Strong.  Yup, a crit when I needed it. Penetrating damage is X4.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 67):

The demon reels as the blade passes between its ear and its horns, and ichor sprays.

"Does it need silver weapon for harm? Iron? Magic?" squeaks Amelia. Her lips tremble.

Well he just got whacked with a fair bit of steel (iron) for about 36 damage or so* to the head ... obviously not a vital organ though.

*Assumes his skull is only 2 DR  which may well not be the case.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 70):

does anyone have hidden lore:demons?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 71):

No, but we are not there yet, right?

OOC: No, sorry, don't have that, it's a 125pt build

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 73):

Berry?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 74):

npc'd

"Don't waste your time on head shots- cut its heart out!"

The Adept hears Berry and swings for the Demons vitals.

[Private to GM:  10:27, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 10 using 3d6.  Long Sword to vitals.  Skill 17
10:27, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 14 using 2d6+3.  Long Sword cutting to Vitals. ]

If Amelai is still in the hall with the red carpet she retraces her steps to the door through which she led the way.

OOC: Im alive, got busy with applications. Should be more normal for a while now.

Berry fires a magical bolt at the demon, to little effect.


22:46, Today: Berry rolled 0 using 1d6-2.  Mystical Bolt Damage 1d6-2.

22:43, Today: Berry rolled 10 using 3d6.  Hidden Lore (Demons) +1 = 15.

In reply to Berry (msg # 78):

As the demon reels from the blow to the vitals, it lashes back at the Adept with its chain, doing a potential 10 cr before DR ifnot defended agai st.

Haveron swi gs at ots vitals as it turns, spraying even more ichor arou d the room



occ Adept, how holy is your holy symbol?
