>>183388He's never seen these creatures before. And yet he knows what sort of things they are:
Aberrations. Beloved by no god of earth.
Mala takes aim at the remaining centipede, shooting twice with his shotgun
[1d20+8 = (12+8) = 20]

>>183390Oh word?
>>183389Noted and filed under "maybe useful one day"
>>183391Oh lovely, abberations. Are those creatures from another plane or purely summoned creatures that don't exist unless some fuckwad makes them? Dust doesn't care, they're not undead and are thus boring. I on the other hoof, am curious and don't know.
Skreee
The second centipede disappears, but two more creatures materialize
They vaguely resemble black quadrupeds with long forelegs, and two limbs that stick out of the upper shoulders.
In a way, they are like jet black ponies with no visible eyes, a head that hinges open at the very back, and wings that are bare bones, with mouths at the end of the bones
They Shriek

Were any of the aberrations affected by Posey's Frightful Presence?
Was the centipede weakened by there Str-draining Chill Touch, or effectively demoralized?
I'm a pure debuff build. I need to know if my attacks are effective.
Is there food in the dead centipede Brie has? Will anyone carrybit?
>>183402The one principally affected died quickly

[1d20+4 = (7+4) = 11][1d10+2 = (4+2) = 6]Both the Dread's have a Frightful Presence
Creatures with 3 HD or less need to roll two DC 12 Will saves or be shaken
Note that all fear effects stack, so shaken escalates to frightened, then panicked, then cowering if they fail consecutive saves
>>183402Something tells me these demonic creatures are likely immune to the kind of demoralization that Posey tends to rely on.
>>183403I think the creatures disappear into shadows when they're killed.
>>183401>>183388Kira would be frightened, but she feels a strange sort of comfort from a source she can not recognize. She attributes it to Ouroboros. Having slain a centipede probably helps with her confidence.

>>183407Silver rips the tentacles right off of him
>>183406All miss, and they are unshaken

>>183410>They have more than 3 hit dieDarn. This is what I get for neglecting to make those 6 HD statblocks.
Oh well.
The Dreads take 5 ft steps back in a defensive stance floating around Posey
>>183412Brie does
not succeed in tumbling past the two new black figures in front of Posey
I suppose he has a standard action.
>>183412Assumed failure, Bries turn os finished
Kira's turn, and then Posey
>>183410Confidence in herself restored, Kira draws three more arrows, targets one of these new creatures, and fires them in rapid succession.
Rapid Shot #1:
[1d20+10 = (4+10) = 14][1d8+6 = (1+6) = 7]Rapid Shot #2:
[1d20+10 = (10+10) = 20][1d8+6 = (5+6) = 11]Rapid Shot #3:
[1d20+5 = (1+5) = 6][1d8+6 = (8+6) = 14] Posey's turn
>>183418The second shot hits, lodging in its "neck." But the first one bounces against its "skin," and the third goes wide.
>>183418>>183419Kira: "Dang it! I hate it when that happens...hope I can find that arrow again..."

>>183421Rolling to confirm threat with the longsword
[1d20+7 = (20+7) = 27] >>183422Fuck yeah
>>183422Fuck yeah, 24 damage!
If the crit kills the starfish, pls redirect the remaining attacks to the next nearest opponent.
Cavaliere performs rapid shot and shoots the pony-like aberration closest to him with two shots in quick succession, at -2 penalty.

>>183421>>183423I'm going to assume you're talking about the two black pony figures in front of Posey. Are they targeting the same one, and is it the one Kira hit?
>>183425Bang BangCavaliere hits the starfish in front of Silver, and it hisses as if leaking air. It evaporates.
>>183426They flank one, and if the first attack kills it, the other attacks the other. Same with Posey.
>>183426Not the starfish, the pony figures. Well, one of them.
One pony figure remaining near Posey, and one starfish remaining in front of Silver
>>183428Ah. Fair enough. Cavaliere hits it. It does not evaporate.
>>183427>>183423Posey's combined attacks cause one of the figures to evaporate.
>>183429Silver: "Go back to Tartarus!"
Power Attack: Maintaining his connection to the earth, Silver raises his sword in the air, focuses all of the strength he can muster, and brings it down in another almighty overhead strike on the remaining starfish aberration. The mist around Silver and the starfish is parted with the force of the attack, and the ground again cracks and shatters where the blade lands.
[1d20+7 = (15+7) = 22][2d6+20 = (7+20) = 27] >>183431The second roll was actually damage, sorry about that.
>>183429Does it appear frightened by Posey's demoralization and frightful presence?
>>183216"Alright," Vir says and bumps her hooves together while rising on her two hooves , causing a meaty slap to resonate through the room. In truth, Vir is a bit nervous at the prospect of talking to a bunco of strange ponies, so she trying to convince herself more than anypny else. "I will simply go door to door, talk with the entire neighberhood, the police, the anarchists, and the Blackhooves, then I'll return."
Dust's turn
>>183430+20 damage?!?!
Well...
The starfish is sliced straight in half, curving in like a dead spider in the seconds before it is scattered to the wind
>>183435I think there's still a Shadow pony left?
If so, dust readies his flail, runninf at his target and heaving the flail overhead to come down on his target
Attack

[1d10+6 = (4+6) = 10] >>183436Kow!It shrieks at Dust, recoiling as the entity, shot twice by bullet and once by arrow, is now hit by a flail. The flail seems to crack its hide, until it stumbles back and falls to the ground
It evaporates on the ground
>>183437How many enemies are left?
>>183437With the current enemies defeated, Kira quickly retrieves her arrows. Silver breathes in and out heavily, having expended a lot of stamina in those two strikes.
No enemies remain visible, as the light above dims
>>183434"Uh... Well you don't have to talk to that many ponies. I'm not sure I'd want to talk to anarchists or the blackhooves... but uh, your enthusiasm is much appreciated."
She tries to move forward, and scritch behind Vir's ears
>>183438That's all that threaten
>>183440Posey screams into the ether
"I KNOW YOU ARE STILL OUT THERE! SHOW YOURSELF, TRAVELLER!" "well, thats just good business," is there tasty foodsuffs feom the pede?
>>183435>+20 damage?!?!Power attack is really good
Cavaliere takes a moment to reload his revolver and stow it away in his revolver. He also pulls out a much smaller pistol with two short barrels from the hem of his pants and checks to make sure it is loaded before putting it away.
He moves closer to Silver and Posey and asks,
"Are you two alright? Those monstrosities were in your faces." >>183441Silver: "Please do not taunt extradimensional entity too much, we still have village to go to and ponies to save."
>>183443It very much is.
Silver: "Yes, just little banged up from couple of those tentacles. I have been hurt worse. Thank you for your concern, my friend."
"No apparent supernatural powers, bodies dissolving into protomatter... These were minor manifestation of the starspawn.That means the master is still out there!"
>>183443"I am fine."
>>183444"We either defeat it now, or we defeat it later. Better to fight it on our terms."
