Lilith floats in and flattens herself against the ceiling, wanting nothing to do with that fire...thing. She’s no coward but vampires have a healthy respect and fear for fire which is well-deserved. She’ll engage the humans as soon as her comrades engage the Elemental or whatever it is.

"Another fallen angel?" Markus grits his teeth in anticipation of the coming combat. Pivoting around the doorway after Xul and company let loose, Markus takes a more tactical approach, positioning himself near some of the boxes he hunkers down and brings his shield to purpose, while taunting the Celestial. "Sister! Your sky lord will betray you. You are wrong to leave the folds of the true lord, ASMODEUS!"

Moving up 30' to the closest cover - taking DODGE action

The sound Nyenna's guns signals the start of yet another fight as she quickly ducks behind a shelving unit, the first cultist falls prone grasping his leg while the other fights through the pain as he keeps a hold of his gun, although before he can retaliate he is also struck by a crossbow bolt as Orson dodges back out of sight.

Dodgeing his way through Xul comes close to two other Cultists, however his thick scales shrug off the blows leaving him unharmed but being of fire seems to ignore the Lizardman but not before it raises a hand and plants a Sphere of Fire near to him and moves it towards Xul.
Xul takes 9 Fire damage, DC 15 Dexterity Save for half (4)

The being then focuses on Markus [Language unknown: "Chai ul Ithwilenc setal! U aceiio acsshe mein leol ho ni Tinhasbut!"] It then draws a flaming sword and calsually walks closer to the Hellknight.

Makaria's blast shatter's the Skylight, sending shards of glass falling down into the room, two cultists dive out the way as the glass lands taking superfical cuts, but one is showered in glass and had several large shards digging into their skin.

The Cultist that took the brunt of the glass places a hand on himself and chants a spell of healing, while some of his wounds heal he is still quite hurt.

The Cultist that Nyenna knocked to the ground stands up and hobbles his way behind a barrel and aims his rifle at her, but the bullet just smashes a jar on the shelf instead. His partner however throws a bolt of pure light towards the Half-Elf but the Guiding Bolt goes just as wide and dissapates harmlessly against the wall.

The remaing Cultist launches a Bolt of Fire upwards towards Makaria but it just shoots pasy the winged Tiefling and fades out as it reaches the extent of its range.

Lilith descends from the roof and becomes corporeal as she lands, swords in hand, behind the poor sap with the gun behind the barrel. She invokes the Rite of the Frozen and slashes at him.




17:48, Today: Lilith Darkmoore rolled 10 using 1d20+4.  Attack roll.

Makaria remained perched on the roof, comfortable with the aerial superiority she had over their foes.  The Cultist with the flame magic would need to go, though.  Her mirrored battle mask was already on her face, and so none could see her lips when they began to chant.  Her right arm came up to touch the crystal implanted in the armor at her chest, and as she did it began to glow with a sickly green light.  She closed her eyes and whispered under her breath, the barely audible words both guttural and flowing.  When her eyes opened, they were filled with the same radiance.  She raised her right hand, which was bathed in concentric rings of twisted symbols, and pointed towards the man who had dared to craft flame at her.

"Aggra'kezos!"

She intoned, laying the First Curse upon him.  Then her hand formed a wicked claw, her lips uttering three words of roiling power that crashed upon the ears of those who heard them.

"Hazthresh'koth'arrandzi!"

Once more she tore an orb of pure void from the very fabric of reality and hurled it at the man she had cursed. It thrummed through the air as it struck, sending the fool sprawling backwards.

Even while raging the lizardman knew plowing through a sphere of fire wasn't a healthy choice and quickly skimmed along its edge, his club swinging in a frenzy as the berserker goes into full frenzy mode on the celestial fire creature that so casually ignored him, while the first strike didn't seem to really connect with anything he was sure the second smack would be a good tap on the celestial's shoulder...


OOC:
Time to smack me a celestial and whiff the first attack.

Placing his back against cover and his resting his mace in his shield hand, Markus smirked and pulled a rolled scroll from his armor. "Lord of Darkness, master of lies..." His face gradually turning more serious as the enchanted paper glows a deep red. "...grant your might to this vessel so that your will be done." The parchment begins to glow a bright hot yellow and burns as the blackgaurd finishes the enchantment. "Let my mace strike these heretics down in your name!" The paper fully disintegrates and the embers of burning parchment swirl in the air.

Picking his mace back in his free hand, Markus sticks the end of the iron weapon in the floating cloud of embers, the weapon now glows with a sinister force. Smashing the weapon against his shield and cocking his neck Markus channels his own reserves of power and calls upon the strength of the Citadel itself to strengthen his armor. Mentally and physically preparing for this creatures sword before turning to face its fury.

Nyenna cackles as the cultists' attacks go wide, reloads her guns, and returns fire from her cover.


23:13, Today: Nyenna rolled 17 using 1d20+5.  Bang.
23:14, Today: Nyenna rolled 6 using 1d10+3.  Flintlock pistol damage.
Let's call that a shot to Mr. Guiding Bolt's head: Disadvantage on next Wis or Int check, Str save or be stunned.
23:14, Today: Nyenna rolled 11 using 1d20+5.  Bang.
About time I actually got a poor attack roll... what is with these dice?

Orson pokes his head out of cover, then moves in to get a closer cover point, taking a shot with his crossbow at the huge being of flame as he moves. He shouts "Everyone, that thing's a celestial! If you've got anything to smash that type of thing, I'd bring it out now!"

OOC:

Move inside the warehouse to cover.
Crossbow attack on the celestial.
11:11, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 17 using 1d20+5 ((12)) Attack against celestial.
11:12, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 8 using 1d6+3 ((5)) Damage roll.

So 12 damage if that hits.

Although one of Nyenna's shots go wide as she prepares to duck back from the next volley, the first shot strikes her foe hard in the head. Only his magical shielding saving him from this being a fatal blow but not from makeing him see stars as the desired effect of this shot takes place.

Xul and Orson's attacks do little to deter the celestial's advance towards Markus, it however makes every effort to disengage with the lizardman leaving no openings for Xul to take advantage of. As it reaches Markus it moves the ball of fire at Xul again.
Same again Xul 8 Fire Damage DC 14 Dex save for Half.

The two cultists that tried to attack Xul before run after him and try again, one fumbles at the fearsome fury of the Lizardman but the other strikes a powerful blow against him.
Xul 7  piercing damage, already halved due to rage.

The other blade wielding cultists make their way towards the rest of you, one tries to flank Nyenna as she is behind cover while the other tries to attack Lilith but only manages to slap her ass with the flat of his blade.

The Rifleman that Makaria blasted returns fire after righting himself, knowing that cover is usless agianst an airborn target he first places a Hunter's Mark on her in return for the Hex. The bullet strikes her in the air, while it doesn't penetrate the force still hurts.
Makaria you take 14 pireceing damage.

Lilith actually looks at him incredulously after he smacks her arse. "Really? You want to do that right here, right now? Ok - get undressed, I'm game!"

And then she slashes at him.

Nyenna's eyes flick to the cultist attempting to outflank her, then to the barrels of black powder behind him. Smirking, she reloads her pistols and bites her lip in anticipation as she unloads two shots into his chest.


18:00, Today: Nyenna rolled 15 using 1d20+5.  Bang.
Assuming that hits...
18:06, Today: Nyenna rolled 6 using 1d10+3.  Flintlock pistol damage.
Called Shot to the torso: pushed back 5 feet, Strength save or be pushed another 5 feet and have to spend the next round catching breath.
Spending 2 Technique points to make the next shot with Advantage, just to help this work...
18:09, Today: Nyenna rolled 17 using 2d20+5, dropping the lowest dice only.  Seriously, fuck this guy.
18:09, Today: Nyenna rolled 5 using 1d10+3.  Flintlock pistol damage.
Another Called Shot to the torso. Since I used Technique Points to improve the Gun Stunt, this Strength save has Disadvantage.


As the cultist reels from the shots, Nyenna turns her face away and holds her wrists over her ears in preparation for the almost-certainly-imminent explosion.

Xul grunted under the attack of the cultist and once more skimmed along the edge of the fire sphere, moving away from it and pursuing the celestial positioning himself to try and flank the otherworldly creature while it goes after Markus, the cultists he paid little heed to as he once again rained down heavy blows on the back of the celestial meat....

OOC:
23:12, Today: Xul rolled 17 using 1d20+2.  Dexterity Save.

23:15, Today: Xul rolled 18 using 1d20+5.  Regular Attack.

23:16, Today: Xul rolled 9 using 1d12+3.  Frenzy Attack Damage.


About time the dice roller showed me some love.

As Xul's weight crashes down on the Celestial Markus charges from out of cover with his Warmace low behind his body. His shield tight and high against his chest, the ram's head engraving protects the paladin as he closes the gap on the Celestial and strikes out.


HP: 36/36 AC: 21 Spells: 1/3
Markus Oncebright rolled 18 using 1d20+6.  Warmace!
Markus Oncebright rolled 9 using 1d8+4.  Magical Bludgeoney goodness.

Well hindsight is a lovely thing is it not? I need to interrupt the action to deal with Nyenna's... carnage shall we say.

As the cultist trying to flank Nyenna makes his way around, the Half-Elf Gunslinger lets fly another volley. Her target has no time to react as the surprise knocks him backwards and into a barrel, which his flaming sword manages to pierce.

A chain reaction of explosions begins as the cultist at the centre of the inital explsion is incinerated instantly. Fortunetly none of you are near the secondary explsions, however Xul and Lilith feel the heat of them and are struck by small debris but it is a only a minor nuisance.

The same can not be said for the cultists however as the two that were trying to delay Xul are roasted, the one that had placed a Hunters Mark on Makaria has been burnt black and the one that Nyenna shot recently is charred; the only one to be sparred from this fate is the one combating Lilith.

One wall is almost completly blown out and is nothing more than rubble with bits of the ceiling collapsing in on itself as well, Makaria has a birds eye view of the destruction and it is terriyfing what this blackpowder can do in large quanitites.

Makaria and Orson have their full turns still this round and Lilith can apply her damage beforw anyone else posts.

Orson marveled at the explosion and the chaos caused by it, then turned his attention to the celestial in the center of the room. He stowed his crossbow and unsheathed his cutlass, and charged in, attempting to flank the flaming being. Blue light flared around his blades as he leapt and slashed at the elemental's back.

OOC:
stow crossbow, draw cutlass
activate crimson rite on cutlass & Jian, bringing max and current hp to 39/39
11:13, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 19 using 2d20+5, dropping the lowest dice only.  Flanking jian attack.

11:14, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 1 using 1d4.  cutlass rite.
12 slashing, 5 cold

Makaria raised her right hand in a warding gesture as the bullet flew towards her, calmly uttering a word in her strange tongue.

"Kri'ackkus."

A bright disk of glowing purple runes flickered into existence, catching the force of the projectile and sending it hurtling away into the sky.  She smiled down at him, though behind her mirrored battlemask nothing of her smile showed, and began to rip and tear another hole in reality to hurl at him.

"Hazthresh'koth'arrandzi."

The bolt of pure nothingness hummed down to the very foundations of reality as it streaked through the air and slammed into the man's face, knocking him backwards as ripples of her glowing green curse echoed through his body.

09:33, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 16 using 1d20+5.  Attack.  Eldritch Blast.

09:34, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 5 using 1d6.  Necrotic.
09:34, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 13 using 1d10+3.  Force

The Celestial lashes out with two swings of the flaming sword it carries, the first clangs off of Markus's shield while the other bites into Xul. However the Sphere of Fire that was created dissipates into nothing as its concentration upon the spell falters.
Xul you take 3 Slashing damage that has been halved for rage and 4 Fire damage.

Between Lilith and Makaria the remaining cultist is removed from play, leaving the Celestial as the only creature left standing at this point. It seems to shrug off most of the damage it takes from Xul and Orson, although the Crimsion Rite seems to be getting past this defence. However there is a shriek of pain as Markus's Mace strikes true, the enchantment he put upon it giving him an edge now.

Xul grimaced at the burning pain, his wounds were adding up but at least the host of weak meat were taken care of by the blast. Able to now focus on the celestial the lizardman brough his vicious club down hard on the celestial trying to drop the other worldly being to the ground before following up with another harsh strike of the iron studded club...

OOC:
First attack : Attempting to 'shove' the celestial to knock it prone.

16:24, Today: Xul rolled 19 using 2d20+3, dropping the lowest dice only with rolls of 6,16.  Strength Check - Shove (Str Advantage).

Bonus Frenzy attack: Striking with club again (yes I'm getting the idea that his unenchanted weapon isn't doing anything. Xul does not care at this point.)

16:29, Today: Xul rolled 19 using 1d20+5.  Bonus Frenzy Attack.
16:29, Today: Xul rolled 7 using 1d12+5.  Kanabo dmg.

Makaria lashed out with the full power at her disposal.

With an almost loving hand she grasped the air in front of her, lifting the curse which had settled on the Gunslinger and passing it to the Celestial.  The flickering green runes which had faintly manifested around him like so many fireflies danced away,s ettling upon their newest victim.

"Hazthresh'koth'arrandzi."

She shouted a third time to the heavens, her voice making the almost musical language sound like a death toll as the orb of void found its mark and sent the creature hurtling backwards.

OOC If it's in melee range with anyone, I THINK they get an attack off opportunity as it's blasted 10 ft back.

12:12, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 19 using 1d20+5.  Attack.
12:12, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 1 using 1d6.  Necrotic.
12:12, Today: Makaria Thriceburned rolled 13 using 1d10+3.  Force.

Well with that, Xul can make another attack if he wishes, whileMarkus and Orson can add an opportunity attack to their turn as Makaria will blast it away from you.

Orson was caught up in the heat of battle, and was somewhat taken aback when the celestial was lifted from the ground and launched flying. As it lost its footing, he took another swing at the flaming being.

OOC: For my opportunity attack
15:40, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 21 using 1d20+5.  Advantage 2nd roll.
15:41, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 8 using 1d8+3.  Jian damage.
15:41, Today: Orson Blackwall rolled 4 using 1d4. Rite damage

Seeing the celestial getting tossed around brought a grin to the lizardmans muzzle, quickly capitalizing on the creatures misfortune he brought his club up in an over head strike to strike at the other worldly foe...

OOC:
Attack of Opportunity

18:46, Today: Xul rolled 10 using 1d12+5.  Attack Damage.
18:45, Today: Xul rolled 24 using 2d20+5, dropping the lowest dice only.  Attack of opportunity w/advantage.

Lilith gave a vicious smile that was all fang as the fiery being was blasted off its feet and flew by, right into the arc of her blades. She took advantage of the free hit given to her by Makaria and swung with savage delight.

17:51, Today: Lilith Darkmoore rolled 7 using 1d20+4 ((3)). Attack of Opportunity
17:53, Today: Lilith Darkmoore rolled 21 using 1d20+4 ((17)). Attack of Opportunity

(OOC: I'm guessing the second sword hit.)

17:55, Today: Lilith Darkmoore rolled 10 using 1d8+2 ((8)). Damage.
17:55, Today: Lilith Darkmoore rolled 2 using 1d4 ((2)). Crimson Rite Damage.

Makaria's blast sent the creature toppling backward, exposing an opportunity for Markus' mace to connect against the celestial flames. Following the celestial's momentum the Paladin charges forward and aims to bring the mace down hard on his foe's face.


Attack of Opportunity looks like a hit for 5. Standard Attack misses unless I can still get the flanking bonus from ole Xul here or our very own Count Chocula Lilith. If both hit [16] damage.

HP: 36/36 AC: 21 Spells: 1/3
