An arrow sinks into the shaman’s crotch, dropping him and putting an end to his wretched chanting.  Meanwhile, something crawls out of the volcano!  It is the effigy of the Chaos Lord, only glowing bright orange because it’s covered in magma.  The magma rapidly cools into rock, which then shatters. The fully armored cyclopean Chaos Lord emerges, his many horns glistening, lips smacking.  He wants some!

05:34, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 6 using 1d20.  Initiative.

Somebody go ahead and roll d20 for the party’s initiative.  (If you have a modifier, you may add it.)

The priest’s brains leak out... I think you can stop beating on him now!

Your attacks stagger the Chaos Lord (he takes 13 damage).  Outraged at your impertinence, he swings his mighty flail at one of you...

18:11, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 9 using 1d10.  Random target.

His foul gaze settles on Brightwit.

18:13, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 3 using 1d6+1.  Dam.
18:13, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 20 using 1d20+6.  To hit.

He scores!  The spiked ball smashes into the foolish peasant’s head, knocking it clean off.  His body does a funny little dance before giving up.  The head ricochets repeatedly as it tumbles into the volcano.

Brightwit’s last words are: “Singin’ in the pain, just... singin’ in the pain!”

Your round to attack.

Pedram rushes in to join the mob around the chaos lord while Mowgli stays back and uses the sling to attack. Neither of their attacks are effective; however, the Chaos Lord foolishly turns his back toward Lord Fernroar when it attacks Brightwit and Lord Fernror makes him pay dearly for the insult!


OOC:
Mowgli attacks the Chaos Lord. - 9

Pedram attacks the Chaos Lord. - 4

Lord Fernroar attacks the Chaos Lord. . - 18
Lord Fernroar's damage. - 7

Team Gurren will swarm and hopefully contribute to the chaos lord’s demise:

20:08, Today: Gurren rolled 7 using 1d20.  Favaro attacks chaos lord.
20:08, Today: Gurren rolled 12 using 1d20.  Murlock shoots arrow at chaos lord.
20:08, Today: Gurren rolled 4 using 1d20.  Grum attacks chaos lord.
20:07, Today: Gurren rolled 14 using 1d20.  Gurren attacks Chaos Lord.

20:09, Today: Gurren rolled 2 using 1d6.  Possible arrow damage.
20:09, Today: Gurren rolled 2 using 1d6.  Possible flail damage.

Lord Fenroar decapitates the Chaos Lord!  Somehow the head lets out a ghostly scream as it tumbles into the volcano.  Meanwhile, the demon-armored body falls to its knees and begins to dissolve, radiating considerable heat.  Its mighty flail slips from its grasp.

What will you do now?

Lord Fernroar roars as the Chaos Lords head tumbles from itw shoulders. Pedram and Mowgli stand with the jaws agape for a moment, stunned by Lord Fernroar's ferocity.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

Lord Fernroar's words snap them out of their stunned state and they both no in agreement. The three turn to escort the remaining prisoners down to the boat, but Pedram notices that the mace hasn't dissolved like the rest of the thing, so he grabs it, then hurries to catch up with his companions.

Gurren, Favaro, and Murlock will run down with Lord Fernroar, Grum will pause only to quickly search the dead priest’s body for anything noteworthy and then sprint after them.

13:44, Today: Gurren rolled 5 using 1d20.  Roll Grum search priest body, if needed.

Immediately after Pedram grabs the mace, the volcano roars back the life, sending up a shower of magma.  Some of you are hit...

02:29, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 5 using 1d4+3.  Murlock damage.
02:29, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 6 using 1d4+3.  Favaro damage.

Gurren: Favaro and Murlock are burned to death!  Any last words?

02:33, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 5 using 1d4+3.  Mowgli damage.
02:32, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 5 using 1d4+3.  Lord Fenroar damage.

Lord Fenroar and Mowgli also bite the smoldering big one.  Ditto on last words.

02:38, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 4 using 1d4+3.  Ron Hell damage.
02:38, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 4 using 1d4+3.  Brightwit damage.

Brightwit and Ron Hell are turned into a sandwich of toasted fools.

02:41, Today: Bigredtwenty rolled 5 using 1d4+3.  Durian Durian damage.

And finally, Durian Durian is slammed with a huge glob of magna which quickly burns all the flesh from his face and hands.  If you have any final remarks, make them now.

Last words:

Ron Hell: “Hot damn!”

Ducius: “Tis a far better thing I do than I OOOUCH!!”

Pedram runs to the boat with tears for his lost companions straming down his cheek.

Last words:

Mowgli - "Oh Cr-...!"

Lord Fernroar - "Pedram, you twit!"

OOC:
Um... Oops? Didn't see that coming...

Murlock:  “I want to believe we just kicked a chaos god in the balls....  but I think he’s about to kick us back.  Watch out ,Favar—!“

Favaro has no last words but he does raise a middle finger at the lava as he watches it descends toward him (luckily he still had that finger after the incident with the trapped chest...)

Somehow unscathed, Gurren and Grum will run for their lives back to the boat.

Durian tries to say something, but with no face it's pretty damn hard to make out what it is.

It may have been a prayer

Or a curse.

Or Rosebud.

No one will ever know.

Tarlton and Gristle don't dare pause to remember their fallen friend though, as they are too busy hauling themselves back to the boat with the other survivors.

The five of you who still aren’t dead yet rush down the ramp, rounding the Ziggurat until you reach the base.  The ground rumbles beneath you.... not much time left to escape!  You’re pretty sure the island is about to destroy itself.

You see the ship still docked close to shore.  Some beastmen have boarded her, but they’re having major difficulties involving massive black tentacles which have surfaced from the sea.  You see one of them dragged to a gurgling doom.

What will you do now?

"Please, tell me you still have some tentacle repellant," Pedram says to Gurren as he is preparing to board the ship.

OOC:
Pedram will defend himself, but won't go on the attack unless the tentacles retreat. He'll leave the remaining beast men alive as tentacle fodder until then.

“I do!” Says Gurren, holding up the censer.

Gurren will make sure there’s some holy smoke between the party and the tentacles, let’s see if the tentacles can take care of the beastmen for us and then move to the ship using the smoke to drive off the tentacles as before (as long as we’re still safe from lava or anything coming down the ziggurat...)

Tarlton and Gristle ready their weapons and step closer to the others.

Tarlton watches the tentacles to see the effectiveness of the smoke from the censor, and Gristle keeps on eye on the ziggurat and the lava.

You board the ship.  The holy smoke drives away the tentacles.

Only one beastman remains.  He turns towards you and snarls, clutching his spear.

What do you do?

Pedram brandishes the mace at the beastman and says, "Get... Off... Of... Our... Boat!!!"

Grum stands beside Pedram, spear at the ready with his best "I'm dangerous face".

Gurren with hang back and keep the smoke going.
