Subject: Wait a sec...
"Hey, look who it is! I'd know that voice, even if the face is a bit different." Xavier perks up. "Good to see you back. And it would look like you have the child too."
Xavier slackens a bit, rising to a stand, but still holding the two shuriken in his hands. "It would seem like you had quite the adventure there. But, now that you have the child, let's get out, return to the city, then we can discuss this all over a nice glass... or eight... of wine."

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: It's business time.
"What in - what the hell was that?" Xavier exclaimed, clearly not expecting the sudden arrival of the woman. Nor was he prepared for the splash of acid that came right after it.
However, shaking himself out of his shock and awe, he turned himself to face the door which had been opened. With one fluid motion, he rolled over to the door so that he may have a better view of what may be behind it. When he had finished his roll however, he rested on one knee, with two metallic stars in his hands, crossed over his body so that he is ready to throw them at anything which comes through the doors.
"Chiron, I respect your ability, and your decision to open the door. However, don't forget our main objective. We are here for one purpose, and one purpose only. We need to find the child, who Lacey may have in her possession, and get out of here. We don't need to eradicate the house."
Glancing over his shoulder at both Selummiel and Satya, Xavier adds, "Also, I'm unsure as to how well our companions can hold their own in a physical fight. Satya looks somewhat capable, but Selummiel not so much. We need to protect each other as much as some child. Just be sure you're not killing yourself doing this. Or worse."

You missed my edit in regards to stats which you addressed with me. The strength score is too high. My cursed fingers...
Also, I changed his alignment to Lawful Evil. Sorry that I hadn't factored these in, but please edit the post to reflect these changes. Thanks.

Where are you noticing the error in crits?
Double damage with a lance, double damage from spirited charge, double damage from Valorous
= x2 and x2 and x2
Which is:
x3 and x2
which goes to
x4

Items of Note:
Belt of Giant's Strength (+6) with Wilding Clasp
Torc of the Titans w/ Wilding Clasp
Rhino Hide Armor (w/ Wilding clasp)
+5 Valorous Charging Mouthpick Lance of Collision
What books are needed for this build?
Complete Champion
Dragon 310
Expanded Psionics Handbook
Complete Warrior
Magic Item Compendium
Unapproachable East
Complete Arcane
Lords of Madness
Very Quick Note about the cohort.
Charly is a Level 15 Human Wu-Jen
Of note; all he does is use the feat Craft Contingent Spell to create a contingent Giant Size which takes effect when he polymorphs into a horse
So, he hastes both of us, then he polymorphs into a horse, his contingent spell activates and he becomes size colossal. I then saddle him up with the size colossal saddle and mount up to ride into battle (very clumsily)
Now- Onto the Damage Calculation.
First: Some Points of Interest
(just to clarify some of the more out-there parts of the build)
Battle Leader?s Charge allows me as a full round action to make a charge attack that deals +10 damage
Leading the charge gives me and all my allies a bonus on damage on charge attacks equal to my initiation level. Initiator level for a non-initiator is equal to ½ of their other character levels; so in my case +9.
The Valorous weapon enhancement is from Unapproachable East, and allows a weapon used on a mounted charge to deal damage. Importantly, this stacks with the lance and spirited charge.
Mouthpick is a weapon special ability worth a +1 bonus from Lord of Madness; it allows a creature to replace a bite attack with a weapon attack, on a weapon which is fit specially for use in a mouth. It is perhaps the wackiest ability ever; but it is great stuff; and it lets you make multiple attacks if your BAB allows it.
Total Attack Calculation-
Superlance + 31/+31/+31/+31/+26/+21/+16
Four of these attacks are gained for high BAB, another 1 from haste, and 2 more for using the Storm of Blows ability. Note that due to my barbarian substitution level granting pounce, I can make all of these attacks on a charge.
Total Damage Modifier- x2 Lance- x3 Spirited Charge-- x4 Valorous Weapon
4(4d6 (Gargantuan Lance) + 45 (1.5x Str) +72 (Power attack for 18 with Leap Attack) + 10 Battle Leader?s Charge + 9 Leading the Charge + 5 Collision + 5 Weapon Enhancement + 2 Favored Weapon +2 Weapon Specialization) + 2d6 Charging + 2d6 Rhino Hide Armor
or
4(164) + 21
=
656+21= 677 per attack on average without a crit
With his 7 attacks per round; this means 4,739 damage per round on average without critical hits
Add in the two claw attacks and the number goes up a little bit more, but not enough for me to put into the calculations. If we want to invoke a belt of battle use, the cohort will have an additional contingent teleportation to whisk the two of us fifty feet away from the enemy at the end of my attack sequence. At this point we will both activate slotless belts of battle and do it once more; just for the hell of it. But that would be overkill.

Subject: New things.
"Well I can assure you, I am different from the vast majority of people in this world. At least, the vast majority that I've met. And if many of these things are new to you in the world, I would be more than happy to show you these new things. I've been around quite a bit, and seen many things. I could show you around if you wish."
As Satya began to pace, Xavier watched. Back and forth she walked. Again. And again. Soon enough, Xavier got bored to, and decided to pace, sneaking up beside her and then following her path of pacing.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Xavier a Satya
Xavier looked over himself as Satya did the same. He was presentable enough... his clothes were neat, his hair wasn't messy... He made a motion as though to scratch his nose, but he instead wiped his face to get anything off that may be there. He hoped that he didn't have any bloodstains on his lips... that would be bad.
"Well Satya, I'm not going to lie to you, but this is rather dark skin for me. It came from when I traveled here. Usually my skin is close to my hair colour. It's a hereditary thing... got it from my father. And I don't know about you, but I like my colouring... the white and red seems to go well. Also the black clothing looks nice with it too."
"And what about my manner is so quizzical and intriguing to you?"

Subject: As Selummiel casts Identify...
Xavier watches as Selummiel casts her spell on the book. She seemed to be taking a while. Xavier took the time to wander over to Chiron and Satya, admiring their work with propping the door.
"Hmm... interesting. Good job propping the doors open. But... um, shouldn't we be moving a bit? I mean, Lacey could be in danger right now. And sitting around isn't going to save her. Isn't the whole thing about being a knightly order about helping those in need? Well, we have the child, and the Lacey right now."
"Satya, don't you agree with me?"

Topic: Of Dragons and Men.
Subject: Alimar
The Holy City of Alimar
The girl took comfort in Kandar's conversation and comfort. "We can... we can save him? Who are you... Oh! You must be making reference to the apostle. The Apostle is a woman. And Durandal... maybe it's better if you come with me. But hurry."
The small girl rushed past Kandar and Vanian led them behind the counter at the front door. Muttering to herself, she finally found something that she may have been looking for. With a small flick, a door opens, leading to a spiral staircase that winds up for what seems to be forever. She ushers you in, closing the door behind you.
"First off, I'll fill you in on the Apostle. Her name is Jessica, but she never goes by that. Her formal title is her holiness. And... she's not in this building. That man was dull enough to think that just because this was the largest building that she would be here. But no... something much more valuable is here."
"In here are the 10 legendary weapons of the heroes. Durandal was the weapon of Baldorf, The tiger. He was a master swordsman, you should be able to take it in your hands and call on its strength to help you. With it, you should be able to save the apostle."
Arriving at the top of the staircase, you find yourself in a room with ten pedestals. The woman guides you hurriedly over to a sword in the pedestal. Behind it shows a picture of a Dwarf with an orange beard, the weapon glowing with fire in his hands. The weapon however, will not budge under Kandar's pull.
Off in the distance however, a small light begins to faintly glow. From your distance, you cannot tell what it is. However, upon approach, you find that it's a beautifully crafted longbow in front of an elf with a tattoo of a bird's head on her arms. In front of her, the weapon glows with a bright light.

Topic: Peradyse Lost
Subject: Alexandria.
Alexandria held the young dragonette the entire journey back to the village. It was in her Dogma to help the weak and innocent, and she would never turn her back on that Dogma. The healing was coming along naturally rather well, but Alexandria definitely did not deny the grace of natural healing.
At Flame's question, Alexandria smiles at him and pats him on the head. "No Flame, Precious is doing quite well. I think she's almost ready to greet you herself. She's been healing quite well."
Turning her attention back to precious, Alexandria makes certain that there is nothing more to do to heal her but let nature takes its course.
"Lorae's talents will not be needed here. I have my own magical healing touch, you know." She gives Flame a playful wink, then re focuses her attention on Precious.

I would've assumed that when we began examining the book and the map, we would have laid them out. Then, while it was out, Xavier would've taken it.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Hmm... I must say.
Having taken one glance at the book, and knowing he wouldn't be able to decipher a thing it said, Xavier instead turned his attention to the map, trying to figure out what he could say to make it seem like he knew what he was doing, but make it seem like a simpleton couldn't do it. Hmm... well, that could mean this... and then there's that... perfect. He knew what he had found.
"Well, I think this may be a map of the house... as cryptic as it may seem, but I believe that the magical nature of this house is perfectly recorded on this map... And while I've some suspicions about the book, I'll let Selummiel share her opinion first. I don't want to steal the whole spotlight."
With a wink at Selummiel, Xavier moves to the map and picks it up, and begins to roll it up, so as to take it with him.

"How terrible. You poor child, feel free to take shelter in my warmth, and know that Eilistraee watches over you, whether or not you choose to accept it. As you nestle in my bosom, know that you nestle in the bosom of the Moon Maiden."
Taking the cloths from Lorae, and placing them around her so that her left arm is still free to grab her sword, should worse come to worst.
"Flame, you are welcome to remain with me to watch over your darling here. However, she is still weak, and so she will remain here with me until I deem her ready to engage in strenuous activity, such as flight and other things. Understand?"
Addressing Lorae, Alexandria asks, "So where exactly were we going again?"

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: If you have enough ranks in bluff, you don't need any other talent.
Xavier calmly walks over to the map and book, the same side as Selummiel, moving in close to observe the runes. He had very little talent in the magical arts - that was his sister's job - but he knew enough to fake it. That, and it gave him the chance to observe Selummiel's neck. It seemed rather tender as well as Satya's. Lacey was very headstrong, which gave blood a unique taste, but it was more of a get by taste than the fineries of the blood of those who were friendly and somewhat submissive. He had quite the interesting predicament... such tender necks, with blood just longing to be sucked out and slurped into his...
Focus.
Job at hand.
Pay. Attention.
Xavier shook himself out of his desires, and turned to look at the map and book. He wasn't expecting to understand much if it was magical in nature. But, at least he could fake it... go along with what Selummiel said, make the others believe he was more useful in these situations. Not that he wasn't useful... He just hadn't had a chance to shine. His time would come though...
Damn. He needed some blood. He was going loopy. Still... He looked up at Satya, then back to Selummiel.
Damn they have nice necks... I wonder if their blood as sweet as I'm imagining it...
We better find Lacey soon. I need to get out of here. I need blood. And I doubt they're going to let me drink from them. Abyss and back. I'm going to be mad by the end of this.
