Azu Azan |
Azu draws his weapons, positions himsel, hiding on one side of the cave and Ako on the other. Speaking in hushed tones, "Remember, let the ogre clear the entrance. We do not want to fight it in the cave."
Bina Sevencloaks |
Bina presses herself flat against the outside wall of the cave, sword drawn from its cane-sheath. Never danced for an ogre before. Should be fun. She can feel her heartbeat in her face, it's racing so hard.
Avoiding Notice. Bina has a +5 Stealth.
Kya Mossfoot |
Kya nods solemnly at Azu and takes a five foot step away from the entrance. She casts Forbidding Ward on Mandower.
This is really happening! Dear Shelyn, please help us cleanse this place for our orc friends! ...is it even worth fighting for anymore? Despite her last thought, she holds her ground and prepares for battle!
Azu Azan |
Azu is also going to avoid notice. +7 and readies an action to cast gravity weapon. Somatic, so no give-away. Ako will be some distance from the cave entrance, so the ogre wont' be able to hit him upon exiting. Ako's Stealth is +8
GM Tyranius |
Alright, I believe I found a map that slightly resembles a cave entrance. Please place your self on the map where you would be at while trying to draw the ogre out of the cave. The rock formation you are placed next to is the entrance.
Bina Sevencloaks |
I think I placed myself correctly? I set my token to the side of the sort of divot near the top of the rock formation since that most closely resembles a cave mouth. Plus she's near Azu, which was my intention.
Muzzo Sharptooth |
Muzzo looked at Azu, then jumped to the opposite side of the cave entrance. He shook and trembled as he facial structure shifted, more teeth sprouting from his jaws as he changed.

Ogre: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Shrews: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
A trio of giant shrews come screeching from the cave as a massive Ogre grabs ahold of the edge f the cave entrance. Sniffing the air it squints, eyes locked onto Muzzo, Kya and Athmar to the north. It grins a deep stained and dirty smile as dirt and feces cover it's body. The ogre grabs ahold of its battle axe as it rises to its full height.

Azu Azan |
Azu was disappointed to se the others had huddled so close to the cave entrance and the ogre was barely out of the cave. Azu was more disappointed to see the shrew, but at least that was not totally unexpected. Azu advances on the closet shrew, strikes it and then retreats.
Strike vs red shrew: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Damage wGravity Weapon: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Mandower Steel Strong 2 |
Rage and strike at the shrews in front of me I now have 4 temporary hit points.

dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Second hit.
GM Tyranius |
@Mandower- The dragon instinct makes the whole damage poison and not just the extra rage damage.
Azu moves to strike at one of the giant shrews and misses, quickly retreating away. Mandower enrages, giving his position away as he swings his war flail down at the purple eyed shrew in front of him. The small shrew doesn't stand a chance as it is quickly brained.
The shrews begin to bite and nip at Muzzo and Mandower.
Red Jaws vs Mandower AC 13: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 + Shrew Poison

Kya Mossfoot |
When Kya cast forbidding ward on Mandower, I didn't specify an enemy because I thought that there was only one and it went without saying. Since there are multiple, I want to clarify that the spell targeted Mandower and the ogre.
I also forgot to mention that she will cast Protector's Sacrifice as a reaction if anyone takes a hit that will bring them under 50% HP.
GM Tyranius |
Thanks Kya!
Muzzo Poison Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4 Will need a new save every round from you at the end of your turn.
Muzzo begins to feel ill as the shrew bite blackens slightly.

GM Tyranius |
Bina begins to dance as she focuses her performance on one of the smaller shrews, not wanting to draw the ire of the ogre until she is ready.
Focused Performance vs Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
The shrew seems to care less for any sort of dance as it stays focused on Mandower.
Swordcane: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Swordcane: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 4 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Flanking with Mandower, Bina is able to stable her swordcane into the shrew's backside. The ogre roars, tossing a large globule of spittle across Mandower as the battle axe sweeps across the air.
Battleaxe vs Muzzo AC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Battleaxe vs Mandower AC 14; Forbidden Ward; Sweep: 1d20 + 12 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 5 + 1 = 13
Battleaxe vs Bina AC 18; Sweep: 1d20 + 12 - 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 10 + 1 = 6
Kya immediately throws herself in front of Muzzo, saving his life as she takes the majority of the blow from the massive axe. Protector's Sacrifice goes off negating 3 damage. Kya takes 11.

Bina Sevencloaks |
So sorry for the sudden absence! Surprise overtime all week had my brain looking like Gak. I'm back now!
Muzzo Sharptooth |
"Kya!" Muzzo cried as the halfling intercepted the blow that was rightfully his. He snarled and lunged at the shrew in front of him, biting into it and moving on.
If the first bite killed his shrew, then Muzzo will step up and bite the ogre. If not, he will stay on the shrew
bite orange shrew: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
P damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
bite ogre: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 5 = 19
P damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
fort vs poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Mandower Steel Strong 2 |
Unless I'm misreading something, I think I was hit twice by a shrew for a total of 6 points of damage. leaving me with 0 temps and 20/25 HP
Mandower tries to hit red then orange as there are two shrews in his way if he want to get to the ogre. hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
hit: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (12) - 3 = 9
dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 poison
dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 poison
Athmar |
Athmar moves up and launches an amber jar filled with a viscous tar at the Ogre (red circle). "Burn, Ogre, burn!" yells Athmar enthusiastically.
A2, A3 Quick Bomber: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
damage, +1 splash, +1: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
+1 perist.
Kya Mossfoot |
I might be wrong about this, but my understanding of Protector's Sacrifice is that it only reduces the original target's damage by 3 and the caster takes that damage (3) instead. I think that means that 3 damage would go to Kya and 11 would go to Muzzo, but I could be wrong. Either way is okay, I just want to make sure I know how it works as that will influence her choices in the future. Her action will depend heavily on your ruling, so I will wait to determine who she heals and how many actions she uses for the heal.
Azu Azan |
With the ogre almost back in the cave, Azu moves around in behind, flanking with Muzzo tries a two-weapon attack, then backs out.
Twin Takedown (longsword) wFlank: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Twin Takedown (light mace) wFlank: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
GM Tyranius |
@Mandower- You were only hit once.
@Kya- You are correct, I misread it as you took the remainder of teh damage but it is just the 3 which means Muzzo goes down from the 11 damage still.
Muzzo- As the strike would have brought you down your init moves to just before the Ogre now.
Kya tried to take what she could but Muzzo still couldn't stand the force from the blow and he goes down like a lump of potatoes. Athmar lobs his alchemist's fire clear over the ogre's head. The contents splash across the rocks missing everyone completely. Critical miss so splash even misses.
Azu moves into a flank, quickly striking at the ogre's backside. His mace makes contact before quickly moving away.
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Mandower's war flail completely crushes the spine of another shrew as he begins making his way to the ogre.

Kya Mossfoot |
Thank you Tyraneus!
"Oh no! Muzzo!" It didn't work! Why didn't it save him?!
Momentarily shaken, Kya nonetheless reaches for Sheyln's power to heal Muzzo.
Two action heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Feeling the power surge through her calms Kya. Alright. Breathe. I must always have faith.
She then wishes divine guidance upon Azu.
GM Tyranius |
@Kya- Guidance has a 30 foot limit and Azu is roughly 50+ feet away. Would you like to choose a new target?
Kya drops the ward on Mandower as she emergency heals Muzzo to keep the poor goblin alive while the remaining shrew nibbles at Mandower's leg.
Jaws vs Mandower AC 13: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 + Shrew Poison
Jaws vs Mandower AC 13: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 + Shrew Poison
Jaws vs Mandower AC 13: 1d20 + 8 - 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 8 = 4
Mandower gets bit twice as the jagged teeth tear into his arm and leg while he tries to kick the giant vermin off of him.
@Mandower- Need 2 DC 14 Fort saves vs Shrew Poison. Duration is 4 rounds and effect is 1d4 poison damage. There is only 1 stage so if both end up failing you still only take the 1d4 damage.

Bina Sevencloaks |
Bina continues her dance, rolling through the ogre's legs, kicking off its calf to change direction, then landing acrobatically behind it to start setting up a flank with Mandower.
Acrobatics to Tumble Through. If it succeeds, I gain panache.
She then goes to swipe at the giant, trying to pierce its thigh--who knows, maybe she'll get lucky and hit an artery?
A1: Acrobatics (Tumble Through): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
A2: Sword Cane vs Ogre: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Piercing Dmg + Precision: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
A3: Sword Cane vs Ogre: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 = 9 Piercing Dmg + Precision: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Ooh! I think 20 will probably beat its Reflex DC? I'll go ahead and add her precision damage. -2 damage if its DC was higher than 20.
Gross.
Mandower Steel Strong 2 |
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 if there is a crit fail effect, here is that hero point last
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Hero point if there is a crit fail effect or if I take double damage from a crit fail. fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Muzzo Sharptooth |
Muzzo woke, blinking his eyes blearily trying to figure out what had happened. He felt the shrew wound on his leg still itching, and looked down, expecting to see the ruins of his chest where the ogre's axe had taken him. He trembled a bit in fatigue as he saw scarred, but healed skin. The sour stomach feeling of spent adrenaline almost made him want to vomit, but his friends were still in danger. The one who saved his life was still in danger. Desperate with a need to protect Kya, Muzzo lunged at the rat in front of him, biting it, then stumbling over it to square off against the ogre.
bite shrew: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
P damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
A - stand
A - bite
A - step
If the first bite killed the shrew, then Muzzo will step to move into its space. If not, here is another bite
second bite if needed: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 5 = 11
P damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
GM Tyranius |
@Azu- Flanking no longer adds any modifiers on your end it makes the enemy gain the flat-footed condition (-2 AC). A 15 FF would hit but if you added +2 to your roll already then that would not hit.
Mandower Shrew Poison 1: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Bina rolls in behind the ogre, her sword cane feebly striking into the wind. Muzzo rolls to his feet biting the shrew back. He gets a decent chunk of skin and the shrew is still standing. Muzzo tries to bite once more and misses
Muzzo Fort vs poison DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
The poison quickly works its course through Muzzo, leaving his body. The Ogre's axe swings through once more, striking at all around him in a wide arc on the backswing.
Battleaxe vs Bina AC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Crit for 20 damage
Battleaxe vs Mandower AC 14; Sweep: 1d20 + 12 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 5 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Crit for 26 damage
Battleaxe vs Muzzo AC 18; Sweep: 1d20 + 12 - 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 10 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
All three are hit by the massive axe as it cleaves through the air, taking out Mandower and Bina this time.

Azu Azan |
There go those one-hit drops you were looking for Muzzo.
Azu sighs. "Kya, let me draw the ogre away before you heal the others. Athmar, can you kill that last shrew?" Suggesting Kya delay until after Azu goes.
@GM - are those trees on the map? I am looking to force the ogre to either go around trees or have to squeeze through them.
Athmar |
Athmar continues his fire frenzy, unleashing his burning concoctions at the shrew.
A1, A2 Quick Bomber, solo target: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
damage, +1 splash: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
+1 perist.
crit damage, +1 splash: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
With a wicked grin, Athmar turns to Azu, "It burnses, right?".
Azu Azan |
Azu cringes reflexively, "Yes, it 'burnses' all up. Now for the big one."
Azu glides in, slices, and retreats.
TT(Longsword): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Damage wGravity Weapon: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
TT(Light Mace): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
"Come on big fella, come get me!"
@GM - I think that - 8 on the ogre goes away if my attack missed from last round.
Actually Kya might want to wait until the ogre comes after Azu. Let him move away from the fallen.
GM Tyranius |
@Azu- Yup, I was just awaiting confirmation on if you added the +2 to your roll. Also yes, those are trees on the map.
Athmar tosses a very volatile bomb into the shrews backside. It explodes into a mass of sticky, burning pitch as it smolders onto the giant shrew's skin, melting it and killing the shrew.
Azu also continues his guerilla tactics as he strikes into the ogre's ribs. His sword slices across the bones as the mace follows through breaking a few.

OOOPS! I thought Muzzo went down with the other two. As such I would like to retcon my actions if allowed: 1) Azu calls in Ako for support. 2) He moves in; 3) He does the Twin Takedown above. This might give the mace a crit.
@Kya - Apologies. I would not wait until after Azu or the ogre to act as Muzzo is still standing.
Azu shouts to Muzzo, "Let me draw his attention, the rest of you need to kite!"
I moved Azu and Ako to the positions I would like to be in.
Mandower Steel Strong 2 |
Did I spend my hero point, or is there no critical effect/crit damage for crit failing the save? Cause if I didn't then I'd spend a hero point to stabilize at 1 HP
GM Tyranius |
@Azu- Yup, you can retcon that. It will turn that hit into a crit.
@Mandower- Save your hero point as there is only 1 stage.
Muzzo rushes in, biting the ogre on the leg before running away for his safety.
Holding off a post on the hero point and stab check to see what Kya does as her healing may get some of you back on your feet.
