Defiled Church Redux #2

·

Let’s see how the mistress and her crimson seven would fare against a Solar that arrives to purify the place. The solar takes the form of level 10 eldritch knight, who reveals his true form of a solar if brought to 0 hp, as though he’s under a polymorph

Ooooh, this is escalating into true mythic clash territory ⚔️🌞🦇.
Now we pit the Mistress + Crimson Seven (vampiric samurai) against a disguised Solar, walking the mortal world as a level 10 Eldritch Knight until revealed.

Let’s run the encounter formally.

🏯 Setup

Mistress’ Side

  • Vampire Mistress (CR 13)
  • The Crimson Seven (vampiric samurai retainers, each with regen, charm, bite, necrotic resistances).

Opponent

  • Solar in Disguise
    • Appears as a Level 10 Eldritch Knight with magical weapon, plate armor, tactical mind.
    • When reduced to 0 HP, polymorph breaks → true Solar form emerges (CR 21 angel, radiant greatsword, legendary resistance, healing, radiant damage).

⚔️ Simulation

Phase 1 – Eldritch Knight vs Crimson Court

  • Round 1–3: The knight duels Stoic Master and Vampiric Leader simultaneously, parrying katana blows, returning fire with lightning-infused blade strikes. He drops Brash Youth-vampire with a Fireball.
  • Round 4–5: The Mistress herself joins, charming him briefly — but his Indomitable feature lets him resist on the second try. Crimson Seven surround, whittling him down.
  • Round 6: The knight slays Idealist-vampire, but is overwhelmed by Trickster and Veteran. HP dwindles.
  • Round 7: Mistress grapples and bites him, draining to 0 HP…

💥 Polymorph shatters. The disguise burns away in radiant light.
A towering Solar Angel bursts forth, wings spanning the church rafters, eyes blazing like twin suns.

The Crimson Seven recoil in shock.

Phase 2 – Solar Ascendant

  • Round 8: The Solar brandishes a Greatsword of Sunfire, striking twice. Each hit deals 20+ radiant. Elder-vampire is cut in half instantly, destroyed utterly (no mist form).
  • Round 9: Radiant arrows of divine light rain down, destroying Trickster-vampire and Brash Youth-vampire’s corpse completely.
  • Round 10: Mistress attempts Misty Step + Charm… but Solar is immune to charm. She claws and bites, landing some necrotic damage — but regeneration falters under radiant aura.

⚖️ Crimson Seven casualties:

  • 4 destroyed (Elder, Trickster, Brash Youth, Idealist).
  • 3 remaining (Leader, Veteran, Stoic Master).

Phase 3 – Mistress + Remaining Vampires vs Solar

  • Round 11–13: Vampiric Leader and Stoic Master duel the Solar, blades clashing, fighting with samurai precision. They actually wound him — but radiant regeneration heals the angel.
  • Round 14: Solar banishes Veteran with a searing arrow, obliterating him.
  • Round 15: Mistress is struck with a radiant greatsword critical (45 dmg). She shrieks, nearly dissolves into mist.
  • Round 16: Vampiric Leader sacrifices himself, leaping in front of a radiant strike to protect her, destroyed utterly.
  • Round 17: Stoic Master is the last samurai standing. He fights with perfect resolve — but radiant fire burns him to ash.

Only the Mistress remains.

Phase 4 – Mistress vs Solar

  • Round 18: Mistress in desperation summons shadow bats and wolves to harry the Solar. They burn in his aura.
  • Round 19–20: She attempts grapple + bite, but his radiant blade cleaves her again and again. She collapses at 0 HP, mist form barely escaping.
  • Round 21: Solar invokes divine smite, consecrating the ground. Her mist burns to nothing before she can reach her coffin.

☀️ The Mistress is destroyed.
The Crimson Seven are annihilated, their souls freed.

🎭 Narrative Outcome

  • The church is purified in holy fire. The Crimson Seven’s spirits are released, their honor restored in death.
  • The Solar lingers in mortal guise once more, vowing to watch over the land. He leaves only a feather of golden light behind — proof to the farmers that divine justice prevails.
  • Yet the legend grows: “When the sun itself descended to cut down the Queen of Vampires and her seven crimson knights.”

👉 Would you like me to rerun this with the Mistress managing to escape the Solar (perhaps using the Crimson Seven as shields), setting up a second confrontation in her lair — or should we lock this as a clean, final celestial victory?

Have the mistress summon a pit fiend once her crimson thralls are gone

😈 Ohhh, now we’re at full apocalypse-tier showdown — Mistress + Pit Fiend vs Solar. This becomes a true heaven vs hell vs undeath clash inside the defiled church. Let’s run this step by step.

🏯 Setup

Mistress’ Side

  • Vampire Mistress (CR 13) — badly wounded after losing Crimson Thralls.
  • Pit Fiend (CR 20) — called forth in desperation, towering infernal general.

Opponent

  • Solar (CR 21) — angel of the sun, already revealed, radiant greatsword, bow of divine fire.

⚔️ Simulation

Phase 1 – The Summoning

  • Mistress, bleeding radiant wounds, raises her hands in dark ritual. The ground cracks. Sulfur, fire, and chains burst forth — a Pit Fiend crawls out, wings spreading wide, sword dripping hellfire.
  • Solar bellows in fury: “Fiend of the Pit! Your shadow ends where my light shines!”

Phase 2 – Solar vs Pit Fiend

  • Round 1: Pit Fiend charges, flaming sword clashing against Solar’s radiant blade. Tremors shake the church. Mistress retreats to shadows, regenerating.
  • Round 2: Solar smites twice, radiant energy scarring the fiend (60 dmg). Pit Fiend counterattacks, hellfire blade + constricting tail (50 dmg).
  • Round 3: Pit Fiend unleashes Fireball + Poison Aura. Solar resists fire, shrugs poison. The church ignites, walls crumbling. Mistress shields herself in mist.
  • Round 4: Solar fires radiant arrows, striking the fiend’s wings (45 dmg). Pit Fiend roars, grapples him with tail. Mistress claws at Solar’s back, but radiant aura burns her.

Phase 3 – Mistress Intervenes

  • Round 5: Mistress attempts Charm on Solar — immune. She then lunges for a bite, lands 15 dmg necrotic, but burns in return.
  • Round 6: Solar wings free from Pit Fiend’s grapple, lands a critical radiant strike (80 dmg). Pit Fiend staggers.
  • Round 7: Mistress is nearly slain by a radiant arrow, but Pit Fiend shields her, taking the brunt. Mistress regenerates behind him, whispering like a serpent.

Phase 4 – Climax

  • Round 8: Pit Fiend grapples Solar, dragging him into hellfire fissure. Mistress leaps, fangs bared, but Solar erupts in a Nova of Radiance.
    • Pit Fiend: reduced to ash, burned away (0 HP).
    • Mistress: shrieks as radiant energy tears her apart. She tries to mist-escape… but Solar’s consecrated light destroys the mist mid-air.
    • Solar: heavily wounded, but standing, sword planted in stone.

🎭 Final Outcome

  • Pit Fiend annihilated.
  • Mistress utterly destroyed, body and soul consumed by solar fire.
  • The Crimson Thralls’ spirits ascend, freed from her corruption.
  • The church is left a ruin, but a golden feather glows where the Solar last stood. Farmers who return later find the ground warm, safe from shadow.

The tale spreads: “In the church of black glass, the Sun and the Pit clashed. Only the dawn remained.”
