Gob:
Sorry, I missed your post about the CLW, so I took that as your action. If you try and shoot your crossbow you have nowhere to 5' step to to avoid an AoO anyway. Yes, it's getting confusing!

Aylmora's up!


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

what round are we on?


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

Which ghouls are still up?


Gobs attacker and one of Eisha's are still standing. Map to follow. It is now the 6th round since combat started, the fifth since the party joined it. Vaclav is now at the foot of the stairs and can act this round. Sorry for the delay, has been bedlam here.


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

With the undead bat eliminated, Aylmora dashes down the other passageway leading to the battle between Iesha and the ghouls. Snarling in anger the young Varisian woman points at the final ghoul battling the revenant and unleashes a bolt of fiery energy at the enemy undead.

Move action 20 feet down the side passage to the opening SE of Iesha. Standard action to fire Energy Ray augmented by Wild Surge at the last ghoul battling Iesha.

Energy Ray Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 19 (surging euphoria, firing into melee)
15% chance Psychic Enervation (1-15): 1d100 ⇒ 17
Fire Damage: 3d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 3 + 1 = 11

Power Points used today: 6/35

Aylmora's AC: 21
Aylmora's HP: 41/56

Vaclav finally hits the flat ground. He turns toward the sound of battle.

Will there be any foes left?


Initiatives:
Thanadros - 25
Gob - 22
Iesha - 21
Ghouls - 21
Aylmora - 15
Gornak - 10
Vaclav - 4

Aylmora's blast strikes the ghoul and it shrieks in pain and fear.

Gornak up.

Map.

Gornak attacks the ghoul next to Gob.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 263d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 5, 3) + 13 = 25


The ghoul is crushed completely.

Vaclav's action at last!


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

Vaclav spins left at the bottom of the stairs and hurries to meet the others.

Gornak, Thanadros, Gob --

"Where's AYlmora?"

The move's too far to do anything. If Dabbler allows, once the other's tell him where she is, he'll continue his movement to join her. So he ends his turn either behind Thanadros or Aylmora, depending.


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Round 4:
Seeing the enraged ghoul about to maul him, Gob teleports behind Thanadros and moves back a bit, keeping the ghoul in his sights. this occurs before full atrack from ghoul
Round 5:
Gob fires his crossbow at any ghoul he can see, or readies to do so.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10; 1d6 ⇒ 1


Vaclav reaches Aylmora, breathing hard.

Gob's shot goes wide. Thanadros still to act.

There is only one ghoul facing Iesha left standing, It's injured, and not likely to survive her onslaught unless it runs.

Thanadros lets two arrows fly at the ghoul infront of gob and steps forward if it falls.

Hawkeye | 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 | Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 141d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 | Crit: 20/x3
Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Focused, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Psionic Shot


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

in front of you! Gob teleported back last round!


Thanadros' first shot brings down the ghoul facing Iesha, who promptly races ahead of you into the next chamber. Thanadros may have a move action if he wishes.

You can continue to act in initiative order, or break and regroup, it's up to you.

Thanadros - 25
Gob - 22
Iesha - 21
Ghouls - 21
Aylmora - 15
Gornak - 10
Vaclav - 4


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

Aylmora retrieves a curative potion from her magical haversack and drinks it.

Move action to retrieve Potion of Cure Light Wounds; standard action to drink. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 hp healed.


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

Vaclav takes a moment to retrieve the flask Aylmora gave him and to rub the oil of magic weapon onto his mace. "I think we're getting close."

Quick break to buff now. Then hot foot it after Iesha. Vaclav will cast bless on first contact with a new enemy. Re-roll initiative or not, it's up to you Dabbler.


If you break, we will re-roll when you next enter combat.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak will follow Iesha, trusting that the other, more nimble members of the party will be able to easily catch up.


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Gob follows Gornak, in case the big guy needs help.


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

Aylmora follows as quickly as she can after drinking her healing potion.

Aylmora's base speed with Minor Metamorphosis is 40 ft.


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

Oil applied Vaclav follows in Aylmora's wake.


Elan PW6 || hp 44 | AC 19 | T 14 | FF 15 | CMD 21 | F +7 | R +7 | W +6 | Init +6 | Per +13 | pp 16 || A 40/40 | BA 20/20 | Focused

Thanadros lets Gornak take the lead so that he can shoot and Gornak can clobber more effectively.


Iesha races ahead of Gornak and Gob, disappearing into another large caver ahead of you. There is a shriek of fury from her, rapidly receding.


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Gob's speed is 40, and he did not spend rounds buffing. I think Gornak is in the same boat.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak's boat moves at 20', due to his armor plating. :-)


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

somehow mistead Aylmora's above post as yours. :p


I think everyone is letting Gornak take the lead, and as such your order will be Gornak, closely followed by Gob, Aylmora, and Thanadros. Poor Vaclav will be bringing up the rear - again!


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

It's not misfortune. It is strategy. Where could I be safer?

Vaclav runs after his companions. I'm too old for this. I haven't run like this since the time we thought we were trailing an orc raiding party, and found out the whole damn tribe was camped over the ridge.


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Gob is happy to flit ahead, using Stealth if necessary. Teleporting under locked doors and opening from behind, etc.


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

Marching order sounds good to me. Onward!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

As long as Iesha is in the lead to spring any traps and/or ambushes, I'm happy!


This IS the internet you know ... Alegedly human Expert (IT) 5/Ninja 3/Witch 7

Very busy IRL, will post up next chamber shortly!


Sorry for the delay!

Gornak follows the narrowing cave until he reaches a point where it splits, with a nondescript cave opening to the left and a larger chamber smelling of salt water to the right. From that way comes a shriek of rage from Iesha, followed by a startled cry and a splash, and Gornak heads that way.

The cramped tunnel opens into a vertiginous gulf here, a cathedral-like cavern with a roof arching thirty feet overhead and dropping into a sloshing pool of foamy seawater fifty feet below. A steep stone ledge winds down to these surging depths, its slope glistening with moisture and mold. Narrow fissures wind into the rock face to the north-west, rivulets of water dripping down from them across the sloping ledge into the pool below, where Iesha flounders having clearly lost her footing on the path. Three diminutive ghouls (Gob recognises them as goblin-ghouls) look to have just emerged from these holes, and three more are clustered near a stone door that stands in the northern wall about halfway down the slope.

Standing in this doorway is a figure of both horror and pity: clad in the tattered remains of a nobleman's finery, this ghouls is tall, lean, and austere, yet also hairless, fanged. In it's twisted features Aldern Foxglovbe's can still be made out, especially as his face softens at the sight of Aylmora:

“You! You’ve come to me! I knew my letters would sway your heart, my love! Let us consumate our… our… hunger!” A bestial expression suddenly crosses his face, and all trace of Aldern vanishes, and he hisses at the group. The ghouls begin to move in the direction of the party...

Cavern Map

Initiatives?

Goblin Ghouls: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Aldern Foxglove, aka The Skinsaw Man: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Init: 1d20 ⇒ 4


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Init 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Stealth if any cover available 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

If Gob acts before ghouls, he moves to M20, and manifests energy ray at the closest ghoul. If not, he does the same but movement will depend on what ghouls do


3pp fire energy ray 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 vs touch AC; 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) + 3 = 15

Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Are you sure Mind Thrust will work on a ghoul....?


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

good point. That was brought up before, switching my post to an energy ray. Sorry guys.


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

INit 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Typical.

Goblin Ghouls 23
Thanadros____ 19
Aylmora______ 13
Aldern Ghoul_ 10
Gob__________ 7
Vaclav_______ 7
Gornak_______ 4

Vaclav casts bless.

Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.


Duh! Forgot Iesha!

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

The first three ghouls advance cautiously (to M07, M08, K07). The second group also advance, more rapidly (to N10-N12).

Thanadros' shot skims the ghoul's ear without apparently phasing him.

Shrieking curses Iesha thrashes to the edge of the pool and scrabbles onto the slippery rock...

Acrobatics 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

..but begins to make slow progress up the ledge (to K08, and she is looking very battered indeed by now).


Male Blue; Humanoid (goblinoid, psionic) Nomad 3 (from Psionics Unleashed)/Witch 2

Gob advances to I08 & targets ghoul in M08


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Seeing the horde of ghoulish goblins approach, Gornak focuses all of his concentration on generating a protective screen.

Expend focus to take 15 on manifesting Force Screen defensively -- 5 pp for +5 shield bonus to AC. Current AC = 24


Elan PW6 || hp 44 | AC 19 | T 14 | FF 15 | CMD 21 | F +7 | R +7 | W +6 | Init +6 | Per +13 | pp 16 || A 40/40 | BA 20/20 | Focused

Be Careful! The ledges might be slippery!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"I'll try floating my way over there...assuming these goblins don't kill me first!!"


Male Human of Varisian and Chelaxian descent Cleric of Erastil 6

Floating? Somehow I see Gornak floating like a lead zeppelin. :-)


Female Human (Varisian) Wilder 6 {HP 53/53; AC 20, T 15, FF 15; F+6 R+5 W+8; Init+3 Perc+14} {Effects: Psionic Focus}

Unable to get a clear shot at Aldern, Aylmora points her finger at one of the advancing goblin ghouls and unleashes a bolt of fiery energy at the undead creature.

Standard action to fire Energy Ray augmented by Wild Surge at the goblin ghoul that advanced to square M,07.

Energy Ray Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 21 (surging euphoria, cover)
15% chance Psychic Enervation (1-15): 1d100 ⇒ 63
Fire Damage to Goblin M,07: 3d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 3 + 1 = 13

Power Points used today: 7/35

Aylmora's AC: 21
Aylmora's HP: 48/56


Aylmora's blast of fire consumes the lead goblin with a shriek of pain.

"No!" Aldern cries out in fear, and falls to his knees, eyes wide. "Don't hurt me! He made me do it! THEY did this to me!" he babbles. "Help me before He comes back!"

Unless Gob can fly or levitate, moving to I08 will involve approximately a 30' drop down to the spiral path below. I am assuming that was not the intention...
