One day, before the start of his lesson, Enoch's master decided to demonstrate the Gate spell. Unfortunately, the only demonstration was of why caution is needed when calling a pit fiend with the Gate spell. The summoned pit fiend was Bareth`kul the Archfiend, a powerful denizen of Maladomini, who is more powerful by far than a typical pit fiend and easily overpowered Enoch's master, devouring him and turning his attention to Enoch. Rather than consuming him, Bareth`kul enslaved him. By the use of vile magicks and mundane manipulation, Bareth`kul twisted the lad over several years into a malicious priest and sent him to Gladius to establish the faith. Clearly, Bareth`kul has plans for the city.(Tot. 3662 gp, 5 sp, 106 XP): scroll of summon monster III [5] x1 [562 gp, 5 sp, 30 XPC] scroll of owl's wisdom [3] x2 [150 gp, 12 XPC] scroll of protection from chaos [1] [12 gp, 5 sp, 1 XPC] scroll of abysmal flame [3] x4 [900 gp, 72 XPC] 4 scrolls of alter self(troglodyte) [3] [600 gp] scroll of resist energy [3] x5 [375 gp, 24 XPC] scroll of protection from good [1] [12 gp, 5 sp, 1 XPC] scroll of shield of faith [1] x2 [25 gp, 2 XPC] summon monster II [3] x2 from Bareth`kul's scroll II [included below] scroll of flight of the disloyal [2] [50 gp] 4 scroll of shield [2] [200 gp] scroll of see invisibility [3] [150 gp] scroll of force of Bareth`kul's will [5] [375 gp] scroll of force of Bareth`kul's will [5] x2 [375 gp, 30 XPC] scroll of bull's strength [3] [75 gp, 6 XPC] black onyx [75 gp] (component for animate dead [The Creature With More Flesh Than You'll Have Shortly]) black onyx [50 gp] (component for animate dead [The Harbinger of Immolation]) black onyx [125 gp] (component for animate dead [Undeath From Above]) unholy water [25 gp] (component for desecrate) silver [25 gp] (component for desecrate) 2 Bareth`kul's scroll III (scroll of summon monster III [5]) [0 lbs][375 gp, 30 XP][x]1 scroll of shield of faith [2] [25 gp [2 XP lost]C] From here 1 potion of protection from evil [1] [50 gp] 1 potion of protection from law [1] [50 gp] 1 Bareth`kul's scroll II (scroll of summon monster II [3] x3) [225 gp, 18 XPC] 1 Bareth`kul's scroll II (partially consumed, summon monster II [3] x1 remaining) [225 gp, 18 XPC] 1 Bareth`kul's scroll II.5 (scroll of summon monster II [4] x3) [300 gp, 24 XPC] scroll of abysmal flame (scroll of produce flame [4] x3) [150 gp, 12 XPC] 1 scroll of abyssal metamorphosis (alter self(troglodyte)A) [3] [150 gp] 1 scroll of Bareth`kul's warding of the minion (shield of faith) [1] [12 gp, 5 sp, 1 XPC] 1 scroll of devil's shield (protection from good) [1] [12 gp, 5 sp, 1 XPC] 1 scroll of protection from chaos [1] [12 gp, 5sp, 1 XPC] 1 scroll of Bareth`kul's wisdom (owl's wisdom) [3] [75 gp, 6 XPC 1 scroll of Bareth`kul's might (enlarge personA) [1] [25 gp] 1 scroll of resist energy [3] [75 gp, 6 XPC] 1 scroll of invisibilityA [3] [150 gp] 1 scroll of flight of the disloyalA (expeditious retreat) [2] [50 gp] 1 scroll of diabolical restoration II (cure moderate wounds) [3] [75 gp, 6 XPC] 1 scroll of force of Bareth`kul's will (dispel magic) [5] [375 gp] Mark of Bareth`kul (Tattoo of Grip of Iron [1]) [100 gp] Total: 2100 gp, 93 XP please state how much rp this should contain, and when your usual posting time for this will be, as it gives me a time-schedule to keep...
Salrantol 09-19-07, 08:47 PM	I'm looking for a medium amount of RP--the nature of the quest should reflect Enoch's quest to strengthen Bareth`kul's position in the world, but Enoch's not known for being particularly talkative or expressive. My best time to post is between 5:30 and 7:00 AM Central time and between 4 and 4:30 PM.
whitebaron 09-20-07, 10:58 AM	ok, so i'm 7 hours ahead... makes 12.30-14.00 and about 23.00-24.00 - should be fine by me. so it'll likely be 1-2 updates a day, which should be all we need for medium rp. Bareth`kul demands: I have been waiting for a long time to unleash my Wrath on the many creatures that are alive on this puny world! But this is not the Abyss, alas i need to gain more power, and you my tiny servants, also need more power, and more sub-servants! I therefore order you to gain at least 3 Skelettal or Elemental Minions each, enslaved to your will, and therefore at MY bidding. Enoch, as one of my first servants, will show you the way how to do it. GO NOW! there are two ways, you know you can acquire your desired corpses. the first one is to go to the ceremonnial graveyard of Kuk'la Tash, an ogre encampment/village in the nearby mountains. The old shaman there is famous/infamous for her usage of nightmares all over the land. She never will go from her gods over to Bareth`kul, that's for sure! the second one is the necromantic dome of Yeven, who has so far defiantly denied the service to Bareth`kul, but is in the right spirit. Still he'd deserve to get taught a lesson as well! like it so far?
Salrantol 09-20-07, 03:13 PM	Enoch ponders his known options. He knows also of another--The Bone Pit, it's called--but knows it to be too far away. Bareth`kul's purpose in this city would not be served by travelling so far afield. He has no fear of the brutish ogres, and is reticent to go magic-to-magic against a necromancer with so many spells expended, and chooses to head to Kuk'la Tash. His mind mulls over the idea of a flying mount the whole duration of the trip. He has no loss of respect for Prophet's Mount, which was a gift from Bareth`kul when Enoch was chosen to be his Prophet, but flying foes would be a mess without a way to reach them. This should definitely be a productive quest.
whitebaron 09-22-07, 06:40 AM	sorry for the laste post, but i was out yesterday quite long Enoch, proud for his master and his quest, mounts his Warhorse and moves out to find that Ogre Village, and to slay their evil shaman and her mares. As he still ponders on how to best access the village without drawing the entire village against him, he notices a goblin child lying next to his path, with obvious broken ankle, and in pain. It calls in broken common out to you: Mister? Can you me help? I help too you. Satty knows everything happens this vally!
Salrantol 09-22-07, 06:45 AM	Enoch turns to the pitiful specimen and says, "The mercy of Bareth`kul comes swiftly upon us all. I urge you to flee from that terror, though it shall do you no good. Tell me of the best way to reach the ogre encampment. If your aid is worth my own in return you shall receive it."
whitebaron 09-22-07, 07:01 AM	Bareth'Kul? The goblin looks at you with an unknowing glare, not at all impressed by your mentioning of the Lord of the Pits. yes, Satty will help you beat stupid stinking ogres! But you need stay away from forest! There new big Mama of Ogres reside and stinking horses! Other mama die two weeks ago. He points southwards as he tells you this, and looks at you in joyful anticipation to help him up.
Salrantol 09-22-07, 07:36 AM	"Your aid is appreciated, but insignificant. My aid is denied. May Bareth`kul consume your soul swiftly in the afterlife." The darkness crushing Enoch's soul bursts outward through his hands, in the form of choking, almost globular flames spraying outwards in an arc, enveloping the goblin entirely. Enoch proceeds towards the forest where the "new big Mama of Ogres reside[s with her] stinking horses," undeterred by the goblin's cowardice. That was burning hands, by the way.
whitebaron 09-22-07, 08:50 AM	ok, burning hands marked as used. i personally would have used my mount to crush his head - a peasant child is not worthy a death powered by Bareth`kul's divine might. As the goblin fades into nothingness and his remains are blown to the winds, Enoch sets course for the forest. It is with a bit of relief, but also regret, that he hears of the death of the old shaman in town - Bareth`kul always likes to settle such matters on a more personal basis, than with just waiting for time to do its work. As he approaches the forest, Enoch realises how unneccesary the information of the goblin was - Ogres were never too good in hiding their marks. Strolling around the forest, Enoch hears a high, squeaking, and also a bit quailing voice, that sounds as if someone in fear tries to command something. Judging by his hearing, he decides that whatever it is (he cannot understand an Oger) the woman is shouting at, they are within 150 ft of him. (no LoS yet). any buffs before closing in?
Salrantol 09-22-07, 02:18 PM	Assuming nothing changes or interrupts him, Enoch will cast alter self (troglodyte) from scroll, shield of faith from memory, produce flame from scroll, shield from wand, and Extended divine power from memory courtesy of the metamagic rod, before stowing the rod, drawing his morningstar, and rushing in on Prophet's Mount.The curiosity that drove him to the arcane arts before Bareth`kul warped and corrupted him spurred Enoch to move closer, but his prudence convinced him otherwise. He sought the power of Bareth`kul, master of immolation, to warp his body, surround him with divine protection, set his hand aflame, create a shield of force, and infuse him with infernal wrath. Then he knew he was ready. Prophet's Mount rushed the ogre's location.
whitebaron 09-22-07, 05:15 PM	you're lucky. you are far enough away (110 ft), and the manes seem oblivious to anything else. (bad checks all but the last) so you won't surprise them, but are still fully buffed. btw: they won initiative. Enoch prepares for battle, infusing himself with divine might, changing his form into that of a reptilian humanoid with claws and teeth, shielding him from harm, and draws his weapon in order to get at them badly. Just as he is about to charge into the frail, he hears a big bad stomp, and the woman falls immediately silent. He hears something closing in to him, and readies himself mentally for the encounter. Suddenly, a red flaming horse, which he easily identifes as a nightmare, bursts out of the bushes in front of him, and lands ready to attack before him. The nostrils of the horse-like monster emit a cone of smoke, which engulfs Enoch, and makes his eyes burn with tears. (failed save, -2 to Attack+Damage) The Mount is a bit better off, but it seems to be affected too. the rolls are @ http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1958 Initiative: Nightmares 14, Enoch 12.

Salrantol 09-22-07, 10:34 PM	You appear to have missed the Extend on the divine power. It should last until round 19. Also, I hadn't planned on Enoch using his shield in this fight; probably should have mentioned that explicitly. You can look at his fight history and see that he rarely uses the real shield. Enoch hears the pleasure of Bareth`kul rippling through his mind. This would indeed make a fine steed, once purged of its hostility and flesh. But first, Enoch would have to show it who was boss. Enoch takes advantage of his flaming hand to strike the beast twice. Use the non-morningstar-wielding hand to hit the nightmare with produce flame; two attacks due to +7 BAB from divine power, +8/+3 total bonus to hit, including smoke penalty. Meanwhile, Prophet's Mount will also full attack. Unless something significant changes, repeat in the next round. Unless something significant changes by then, drop summon monster IV for inflict critical wounds.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 06:21 AM	ok, fixed divine power, and assuming the shield was on the back of you to start with. Prophet's Mount full attacks(no hit) and steps 5ft back.* With his engulfed hand, Enoch tries to hit the Nightmare twice and shoots the burning flames. Both hit the mare squarely in the chest. (9+7) The mare follows to the next square, and uses both Hooves to trample away at Enoch. The other mare appears right next to Enoch, and both are again engulfing him with Smoke! ** **i'll spare us the saves for Enoch right now. if the fight lasts that long, that it becomes an issue, i'll have to reroll them, as they can do this as free action every round. current round: round 7 http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,L,11,40;b =Name,L,13,42;c=Name,M,14,40;d=Name,L,13 ,40;style=s Summary: Nightmare1 -9/xxx HP Nightmare2 xxx/xxx HP Enoch 49/49 HP, AC 31 (Alter Self[101], Shield of Faith[72], Produce Flame[33], Shield [24], Divine Power[22], Smoked[36]) Prophets Mount 22/22 HP, AC 16 (Smoked[16]) your turn. pls assume that the stones over the river are a brige broad enough for enoch and his mount. is the second mare something significant?
Salrantol 09-23-07, 08:17 AM	*actually, you have to take the 5ft step to avoid AoO when using produce flame as a ranged attack, the rolls are ordered differently in the roller, but the story here is correct. Actually, I'd intended to do melee touch attacks, since my STR & DEX are the same with divine power up, but this is OK. Also, I looked at the rolls, and how did the nightmare's get a touch AC above 16? Shouldn't both produce flame attacks have hit?Enoch, seeing a second nightmare appear, again has his mighty and heroic steed lash out at the infernal beasts he so longs to command. Prophet's Mount then steps back and Enoch brings forth Bareth`kul's passion for incineration in a gout of flame that bursts forth from the ground, engulfing the foul creatures in a ring of flame.Prophet's Mount full attacks and 5' steps SE. Enoch then draws his metamagic rod & casts an Extended wall of fire as a 20'-radius ring, with the ring itself passing through the nightmares (specifically so that their bodies would still be in the wall if they move to melee) so they take 2d6+7 damage now and again if they move through the wall. If they move away, they'll take d4s of damage if they stay within the ring. Then he'll drop the rod. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,L,12,40;b =Name,L,14,42;c=Name,L,15,39;n=Effect,12 ,42,4;opacity=50 You can see that the edge of the ring (which is the part that deals high damage) passes through their spaces and there is no space from which they can attack in melee through which the ring does not pass.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 09:29 AM	oh well, forgot about strength bonus on divine power. i'll let the map be as it is, but you hit with the second attack as well (edited in above) Prophet's Mount full attacks(no hit) and steps 5ft back, while Enoch is hard pressed to stay on the back of his mount.* * you actually failed your ride check here - unlikely, but possible. Both nightmares step closer again(5ft step again), attack with all the've got, and still fail to hit Enoch. Their Smoke still does no longer harm to Prophet's Mount. Enoch encourages Prophet's Mount again to lash at the wounded Nightmare (again no hit), lets his mount 5 ft step back, and concentrates a bit more on riding. He then summons an infernal Ring of Fire, which engulfs both of the nightmares. (11+17) As he watches the mares burn, Enoch sees something he doesn't like - Both of them turn ethereal, and are not further visible. current round: round 9 i'll leave the map for now - we know where you are, and they are ethereal. Summary: Nightmare1 -27/xxx HP Nightmare2 -18/xxx HP Enoch 49/49 HP, AC 31 (Alter Self[101], Shield of Faith[72], Produce Flame[33], Shield [24], Divine Power[22], Smoked[36], Wall of Fire[C+7]) Prophets Mount 22/22 HP, AC 16 (Smoked[16]) they will be back next turn, and likely attack. :) prepare something or delay?
Salrantol 09-23-07, 09:33 AM	Concentrate on the wall of fire.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 09:44 AM	Enoch continues concentrating on the Wall of Fire, not sure whether the Mares turned invisible or did something else. While ethereal, they moved to the other side of Enoch, and now reappear (the smoke hits home with prophets mount now)! current round: round 10 http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,L,12,40,1 4,37;b=Name,L,14,42,16,37;c=Name,M,16,39 ;d=Name,L,15,39;n=Effect,12,42,4;style=s Summary: Nightmare1 -27/xxx HP Nightmare2 -18/xxx HP Enoch 49/49 HP, AC 31 (Alter Self[101], Shield of Faith[72], Produce Flame[33], Shield [24], Divine Power[22], Smoked[36], Wall of Fire[C+7]) Prophets Mount 22/22 HP, AC 16 (Smoked[60]) as the wall of fire is no force effect, the wall did nothing to them, once ethereal.
Salrantol 09-23-07, 10:54 AM	Prophet's Mount will full attack the red one, and Enoch will hit it with two more flaming fists. Startled by the presence of the nightmares behind him, as though they had passed directly through him, Enoch whirls and unleashes a flurry of fire against the nightmare he'd been attacking.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 12:23 PM	i stop rolling fortitude saves now, as both of you are affected till the end of the fight for sure. Enoch whirls around on Prophets Mount, ceasing concentration on his Wall of the Hells, and fires another two shots at the first mare he encountered. They both strike true, and the mare now looks severely injured. (6+7) Prophets Mount tries to do its best again to hit the mare, but it is too severely hampered by the smoke they are producing. Both Mares attack with hooves and bites, again hitting nothing else than thin air or Enochs armor. current round: round 11 http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,L,14,37;b =Name,L,16,37;c=Name,M,16,39;d=Name,L,15 ,39;n=Effect,12,42,4;style=s Summary: Nightmare1 -40/xxx HP Nightmare2 -18/xxx HP Enoch 49/49 HP, AC 31 (Alter Self[101], Shield of Faith[72], Produce Flame[13], Shield [24], Divine Power[22], Smoked[36], Wall of Fire[17]) Prophets Mount 22/22 HP, AC 16 (Smoked[60])
Salrantol 09-23-07, 01:03 PM	Cast defensively, dropping hold person for inflict moderate wounds on the one that I've been attacking. After that, Prophet's Mount will full attack on that one if it's still standing or the other one otherwise.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 02:06 PM	Enoch infuses his hands with devilish flames while avoiding the mares hooves, and touches the severely injured one. Once hit, it topples to the ground, senseless, and dying. Prophets Mount tries to do its best again to hit the mare, but it is too severely hampered by the smoke they are producing. The remaining Mare jumps to its hind legs, and in a burst of strength kicks Enoch to his thorax (12), inflaming parts of his mantle, but Enoch cooly annihilates the flames with a swift motion of his hand. current round: round 12 http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,L,14,37;b =Name,L,16,37;c=Name,M,16,39;d=Name,L,15 ,39;n=Effect,12,42,4;style=s Summary: Nightmare1 dead Nightmare2 -18/xxx HP Enoch 37/49 HP, AC 31 (Alter Self[101], Shield of Faith[72], Produce Flame[13], Shield [24], Divine Power[22], Smoked[36], Wall of Fire[17]) Prophets Mount 22/22 HP, AC 16 (Smoked[60]) note that next round, produce flame will end. either you use the one flame, or it will be wasted.
Salrantol 09-23-07, 04:29 PM	Yeah, use the flame this round, with a full attack from Prophet's Mount. Next round, drop summon monster IV for inflict critical wounds. Don't cast defensively, just provoke an AoO. And Prophet's Mount will full attack again too.
whitebaron 09-23-07, 04:49 PM	Enoch uses the last bit of the flames that engulf his hand to hit the mare again. (6) Prophet's Mount tries to hit the Mare again, and fails again. The Nightmare kicks and bites again at Enoch, but to no avail - he is just too well guarded. Enoch, focussing more on the offensive now, draws forth more negative energy to rip the flesh of the mare. He ducks below the smashing hooves, and hits it right beyond the nose. It falls down and lies unconscious, just before Prophet's Mount thrashes away for good measure. As Enoch rounds the woods towards the shaman's hut, he sees a quite young ogre girl lying where he had heard the Mares and probably her before. She is unconscious, and some fiery marks are to be seen around her. next to the hut, there is a huge pile of stones, which seem to be the grave of the older shaman. it is up to you, what you want to do with her, but maybe she can be bound to obey Bareth`kul? Your corpses are the two mares(obviously) and the body of the old shaman, burrowed under the stones. what you do to her is just a side effect.
Salrantol 09-23-07, 05:30 PM	Enoch's head rings as Bareth`kul's command to train this new protege fills his mind. He casts a trivial healing orison on her and places her atop Prophet's Mount, while he rigs his steed to haul several corpses back to the Tower of Bareth`kul. Soon enough, the girl is drawn by Bareth`kul's might into his demiplane of immolation, where she will undergo the same mind-warping incineration of whatever decency may have remained in her ogrish brain. She too will be a prophet of Bareth`kul. Soon The Acolyte will return, and the world shall tremble.
Salrantol 09-23-07, 05:32 PM	Also, be sure to update the first post and post in the Questlog. Thanks for the run, it went well. Salrantol :w:
