"Oh, think yer fancy, huh?" says Boide, as the attacks seem to do nothing.

When the demon fully forms, Boide's boisterous tone lowers a bit, his eyes tracking upward. "Uh.. yeah, lookin' quite sharp there.." It is enough of a pause that the slashing claw practically knocks him aside.

Boide gathers himself, and picks up a lead disc and flings it at the shadow demon.

Not having any other tools at his disposal, Valinar unleashes a bolt of fire on the shadow demon, as well as having his lights begin to circle the demon, to make sure it has no shadows to escape into.

Fire Bolt
Evocation Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn't being worn or carried

Rolls

Fire Bolt on Shadow Demon - (1d20+5, 1d10)

1d20+5 : (6) + 5 = 11

1d10 : (6) = 6

Xasu spots the ring and cleans it off with his clothes. Sniffing it first, he carefully observes it for signs of magical curse or boon.

Rolls

Arcana - (1d20+1)

(17) + 1 = 18

Ohica is startled when she (edit: pulls) feels a tug at her hand, but then she relinquishes the ring to Xasu as she resumes brandishing the wand.

Xasu takes the ring and examines it. His intuitions confirm it is indeed magical. It would take some time to sort out precisely what it does however (That is, a short rest is required to identify a magic item.. or just wearing it would work too!).

The lead disc passes harmlessly through the demon, as does Valinar's firebolt. The lights dance around the demon and chase off the natural shadows near it. The creature hisses and lunges for Boide again.

Player turn, Ohica and Tolvaj have 2 sets of actions as they didn't really act during the previous round

Rolls

Claw v Boide - (1d20+5)

(20) + 5 = 25

Damage - (2d6+3)

(51) + 3 = 9

Crit Damage - (2d6)

(63) = 9

Emboldened by the effectiveness of her first attack, Eithne swings her shillelagh at the shadow creature again.

Boide withers under the savage attack, and weakly raises his shield as he tries to Disengage and put as much distance as possible between himself and the demon.

As he backs away, Boide gasps for Clanggedin's protection. His brief prayer is answered as his battleaxe flares with spiritual energy, illuminating the blade with a holy light.

Bonus action, casting Magic Weapon.
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour.
You touch a nonmagical weapon. Until the spell ends, that weapon becomes a magic weapon with a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls.


Prove yourself, then, says a voice somewhere in Boide's thick skull.

Tolvaj, seeing that none of the attacks against the shadow appear to be working continues to remain hidden in the shadows.
Nov 29, 2015 6:16 pm
Grunting, Xasu swirls his longsword around him to deliver a slash through the shadow creature, before circling behind it. He pays attention to the resistance his sword meets as it passes through.

Rolls

Attack, damage - (1d20+5, 1d8+5)

1d20+5 : (3) + 5 = 8

1d8+5 : (7) + 5 = 12

Eithine swings but the shadow demon drifts away from her and she misses. Xasu's blade passes through the creature and meets no resistance at all. It is unfazed by the attack.

Both miss. Ohica's action.

Ohica tosses the wand aside (incidentally towards the shadows where she thinks Tolvaj went), and calls upon the power granted to her by the patron god of caves and mountains.
"ULAA! I rebuke thee, foul darkness, in the name of Ulaa, who raises up mountains and tumbles them down! Begone!"

Ohica holds forth the golden medallion depicting a mountain with a ruby heart, which is the symbol of Ulaa.

(OoC: I think this is a shadow creature, rather than undead, but as her first action Ohica is trying to Turn Undead anyway, just in case.)
Dec 2, 2015 5:32 pm
Holy light leaps forth from the medallion, covering the shadow creature and briefly blinding everyone in the room. As the light fades the creature is unharmed and unaffected.
Dec 2, 2015 5:58 pm
Ohica persists, this time invoking a holy spell (guiding bolt). "Ulaa, guide my hand to smite thy foe with your power!"

(Guiding bolt: Ranged spell attack: 4d6 radiant damage and target grants advantage to the next attack.)

Rolls

Guiding bolt, damage on hit - (1d20+4, 4d6)

1d20+4 : (12) + 4 = 16

4d6 : (5515) = 16

The shadow creature is blasted backwards by the guiding bolt. It slams into the wall... then vanishes in a wisp of shadow. Tolvaj notices the wand on the floor. As he glances downward, motion catches his eye and he jumps backwards just as the shadow demon emerges from the shadows he was hiding within, claws reaching for Tolvaj's throat.

Ohica hits, deals 16 damage. Advantage on all attacks against the shadow demon for this round.

Shadow demon Disengages from Xasu with its Action. Move action to shadow ambush Tolvaj - Tolvaj grants advantage to the shadow demon until the end of its next turn.

Player turn!

Valinar is getting tired of this demon, but is reluctant to burn through his magical reserves this early in the day, and settles on a weaker spell. "Fete Ka'ra!" he holds out his hand and launches another bolt of flame at the dark creature.

The bolt strikes the creature, briefly staggering it and giving Tolvaj a chance to react to his sudden assailant.

Hit for 3 Damage

Boide moves to the shadow demon's new location, and swings his now-magical battleaxe at the fiend. "Clanggedin, guide my hand!" he cries as he brings the fury of the gods down with his strike. Inspired by the fight, the War Priest strikes again, slashing his weapon across.

Still concentrating on Magic Weapon, which I think would break if I try to cast another spell? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Using Channel Divinity: Guided Strike to add +10 to my attack roll, and using War Priest bonus action to make another weapon attack.

Guided Strike allows me to choose whether or not to use the bonus after I see the roll, so I will apply it to... eh, same roll for both, so apply it to the either attack for a to-hit of 26.

Boide's magically imbued axe swirls across the room and slices through the shadow. In the same moment, Eithne spins and leaps at the shadow, swinging her club in a wide arc. The club slams into the shadow demon and it suddenly disperses.

Hit on both counts, and it's now thoroughly dead. Combat over.
Dec 2, 2015 11:00 pm
Tolvaj stands, mouth agape, as the Boide's axe rips into the demon apparently sending it back to the abyss.

"Err, well done."
