Adria's Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master MayDay

gotta get the sinking boat away from ours As Bruno, Khan and Nazz pile back into the ferry, Iradiel attempts to push the cultists sinking boat away from the ferry. He then returns to the bow of the boat, nodding to Siff "While you all row we can try and keep their heads down." and begins to load his cross bow.

so two move actions, push off and load

Khan starts rowing.

Almost forgot, Nazz woulda grabbed up the wand to give to Siff.

Siff takes the wand from Nazz , then settles next to Iradyiel at the bow, bringing her crossbow up to her shoulder....

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Shaking off the cobwebs, Darya starts rowing.

Okay! Gotta get a new map ready:)

Awlright! This is going to be a nasty jenky and complicated combat haha! Lots of opportunity for strategy. MAP UPDATED.

A few more arrows zip past you as you make your way to the shore. As you get closer suddenly you hear voices shouting: For Neatholm! Men and Women, defend your town! Then as you watch you see a battle erupt about 50 feet from the shore line: fire balls and colorful magical explosions begin to fly everywhere and the clank of weapons and roar of people fills your ears - and you see Lamm and a few other mongrelmen bravely attacking the cultists on the shore!

As your boat scrunches into the sandy beach the two ugly beings that were shooting arrows at you drop their ranged weapons and draw serrated swords.

In the center of all this stands a dark haired women. She oozes arcane power. All in chain mail she looks to be an incredibly formidable warrior. But this does not detract from a somehow primal attractiveness she has. And then you recognize her! her picture's on the map meow.

Upon seeing Hosilla Nazz snarls to herself. "Traitor..." Letting the hate flow out and then focusing it on the closest person this world wouldn't miss she steps up to the cultist to aid the defender of Neatholm.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 19
Damage (Slashing, Cold Iron): 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 2 = 9

Vindication: 5/6
HP: 20/32

Shear Khan steps up to slash at the nearest cultist.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Bruno mounts up first. This filth was going to have to be handled while mounted. That done he lets his rage flow as he lifts his lance and rides into the back line of the cultists like a meteor into snow.

Charge! the bottom right cultist+ higher ground+PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 9
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (6, 4) + 16 = 26
a 1. Really!

But the terrain is unfamiliar to both rider and mount, causing Bruno to undercompensate and miss.

Nazz cuts "F" deeply, but the cultists' eyes narrow. Hosilla, beware! These ones have strength.

The two male mongrelmen "C" and "D" dodge, bob and weave and niether Khan or Bruno hit.

Tonight I shell get monster turns in. Heading home:)

Round 4 (not counting the boat ride to the shore)
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
Darya
Nazz

"C" and "D" dodge, bob and weave

and bob and weave is what they did, not their names.

Iradyiel jumps out of the boat and fires his crossbow at Bob "D" as he weaves, crap, what do I do now? Need to try and get behind something.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 for damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Round 4

Siff steps off of the skiff and stands on the wet sand, gazing out at the small battlefield before her, eyes narrowed.

Sizing up the possibilities, she instictively holds her hand out, palm up, fingers claw like upwards, slowly turning black from finger tip down.

Her arcane mutterings were interspersed with gagging sounds and the occasional wretch, but her focus remains constant.

Whatever she was enduring began to alter the ground under two of the enemy combatants, their footing becoming more and more uncertain...

Grease, Reflex save or fall down, 10ft square, Enemy D and F and adjacent squared behind them.

Reflex D 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Saves!
Reflex F 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11 Falls Down!

Monsters Turn.

F
Just before Siff gets her Grease Spell cast F takes a mighty swing at Nazz with her long scythe...
Scythe VS Nazz: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Miss.

D
Takes a swing at Bruno
club Vs Bruno: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 thock! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

C
Takes a swing at Khan
club Vs Khan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 thock! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

E, F and A all attack the Mongrelmen
Sythe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Sythe Vs Lamm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 thock! for 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 3 = 5
Sythe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

And the Mongrelmen fight back
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 hit! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 hit! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Finally Hosilla begins casting a spell...full round to cast

Round 5
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
Darya round 4 and 5 actions available
Nazz

Hosilla: Leave, crusaders. Neatholm is claimed for Baphomet, and his Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth!

Iradyiel, glares at Hosilla we'll see about that he steps forward, dropping his crossbow, and drawing his short swords he attacks 'Bob' "D" with a vicious left hand slash, telling Bruno, "I'll take care of this jerk, You get that arrogant bastard over there"

5 ft step, draws weapons attacks

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

ok, maybe he won't take care of him this round, but just wait

Khan slashes at the one who struck him.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Either this will be an attack on the downed F or an AoO when she tries to stand up.

Even when she was a crusader Nazz had no problem ending someone, especially an ally of demons, when they were on the ground. Now that she wasn't one there was less than nothing to deter her otherwise.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 25
Damage (Slashing, Cold Iron): 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 + 2 = 11

Vindication: 4/6
HP: 20/32

Iradyiel misses, but Khan shreds his enemy leaving him on the edge of death (2hp left).

F
Nazz brings her greatsword down on F's gauntlet as she raises it to shield her self while she struggles to rise. That's -11 for the AoO

D
Takes a another swing at Bruno
club Vs Bruno: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 miss!

C
Takes another swing at Khan
club Vs Khan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 miss!
E, F and A all attack the Mongrelmen
Sythe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 thock! for 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8
Sythe Vs Lamm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Sythe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

And the Mongrelmen fight back
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 hit! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 E FALLS DEAD!
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 hit! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Finally Hosilla finishes casting her spell began casting 4th round, so effects start on her turn this round. It's a summoned monster!...An evil demonic fire elemental appears directly behind Iradyiel! It laughs bellowing flames from it's mouth and attacks slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 MISS!

Round 4
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
Darya
Nazz

busy at work this morning. Sorry for delay:)

Hosilla: Foolish crusaders. Don't you know that Kenabras has fallen? The demon hosts swarm the land! And Neathholm is mine.

Feeling the increase in heat behind her Nazz steps back to put herself between Siff and the summoned elemental while taking a swing at it.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10

Vindication: 3/6
HP: 20/32

Bruno wheels Esermalda around and charges the evil lady who dared to threaten one of the last non-demonic spaces in Kenebres. He is in full battle rage now, and bears down upon her with all the fury he can muster!

Charge again!+High ground+PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 1) + 16 = 22

Rage 7/9
I have DR 1/- during my rage

Round 4

Siff watches intently as the demon materializes, looking back at the woman who had willed it from it's far away home to fight for her here.

"I can do that....not yet...but I can feel it...

Eyes narrowed, Siff smiles as Nazz puts herself between the elemental and Siff, "Careful you don't get that nice long hair singed!"

Turning her attention to the summoner, Siff gathers up her fear and anger, her incantation a growl of desperate agony...

Magic Missile, CL6: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 3 = 13

holy crap what was I thinking putting nothing between Bruno and the biggest villian!?

Hosilla is no wizard and she is no coward. Bleeding from every orifice she swings her masterwork Glaive at Bruno and Esmarelda 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 but misses! Her eyes widen as she realizes this is probably the end.

I seriously need strategies for helping my biggest villians survive you guys...

Round 4
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
Darya anyone heard from darya?
Nazz

Difficult Terrain? Also Darya just got back from camping.

"Trying!" she chuckles back to the Sorcereress.

Wings or being incorporeal or a swarm. Or all three. A flying incorporeal swarm will wreck our day. Heh.

Don't forget Displacement!

What are you all doing! You never give the GM tips on how to nullify our awesome! :P

I can't help myself...

Let's do this!

Hosilla: Even if you defeat me, the Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth will succeed in their mission. The Crusades are over. The lords of the Abyss are your new masters now.

Round 5
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
Darya round 4 and 5 actions available
Nazz

"The Fourth Crusade may be over but the Fifth has just begun! We'll start with your head!" Nazz shouts back at the Templar before hacking again at the elemental.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 20
Damage (Slashing, Cold Iron): 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 + 2 = 12

Vindication: 2/6
HP: 20/32

Attack, high ground, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Bruno has no time for words, only violence. In one smooth motion he drops the lance and draws the dead priest's warhammer. With a mighty roar he brings down the befouled weapon on the traitor crusader's head.
Esmeralda joins the fray herself and tries to bite the arrogant caster.
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"I have no master."

Claw!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Claw!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Confirming: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Iradyiel watches helplessly as the cultist swings at Bruno as he rides past, I can't believe I missed, How can they be so calm at a time like this, their bantering back and forth like they are ordering drinks in a tavern Iradyiel, relieved that the cultist missed Bruno and Esmeralda asks nervously "How can you joke at a time like this?" keeping his eye on the cultist in front of him, when he has the opportunity he attacks with both short swords, slashing at shoulder and waist.

full attack, two weapon,

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for damage: 1d6 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Round 4 Darya fires at Hosilla, dropping her crossbow and drwaing her sword as the shot goes awry.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
1d10 ⇒ 7

Gathering up her anger, her rage at the sight of the betrayer before her, the Paladin lets Ragathiel's fire flow freely through her, her body once again surrounded by a fiery glow as she charges the woman she is determined to lay low. "Burn Infidel!"

Smite Evil: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 3 + 2 = 27
1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Hosilla dies horribly as Bruno and Nazz (and Esmarelda) slice, pound, and bite her to bits. But no villian dies in near the worldwound without getting one last witty comment in...You are too late. The wardstones have lost their power and even now the Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth work to corrupt them. You will all die.

And as Hosilla falls, the fire elemental vanishes with a firey howl. The cultists realizing their leader has fallen begin to break off the attack...

Khan kills C, and Iradyiel actuall manages to kill D...HIS FIRST KILL EVER?

F
Fight defensively and retreat 5 ft steps to the north
F Sythe vs Khan (she has reach): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 4 = 5 miss. Cultist: Let me pass, Cat. The battle is over. You have slayn my leader. She does not appear afraid, but she definitely would rather no longer fight!

And the Mongrelmen pursue with AoOs as E and A make a break for it to the North...
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 hit! for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 "A" falls dead as she tries to retreat! Lamm smiles as he wipes the blood from his blade. Lamm: Courage my friends, we are winning!

MAP UPDATED

Round 5
Siff
Iradyiel
MONSTERS!
Khan
Bruno
DaryA
Nazz

By all means start round 6 and finish them while I'm hiking! Only F and B left, AC17, and basically next hit kills them. If they get another action it will be to move together back to back, hold hands, and die bravely.

With the leader's death and the general retreat, B makes the fatal mistake of leaving nothing to hinder Bruno. Or, rather, to hinder his MurderCamel.
Esmeralda bellows and runs down the prey! Bruno and his deadly hammer are just along for the ride.

Esmeralda: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Bruno: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Stunned into inaction by the Traitor's claims, Siff watches as she is taken down by her friend's savage attacks.

She absently notes with satisfaction that the summoned creature's departure is not without pain.

When Lanny shouts, she rushes to him "what of the Chief. ..the old man? " She asks

-Posted with Wayfinder

Seeing the remaining enemies-make that enemy-flee and nothing else about Nazz rolls her shoulders and moves alongside Siff.

the left-hand shoulder feint missing but the right-hand thrust to the waist bit deep. Iradyiel, watching the insane light in the cultist go out, wrenches slightly as he realizes he just killed another humanoid. Hope no one noticed that, don't want to seem a complete rookie Swallowing the bile, he quickly drops to his knee and starts frisking the dead cultist.

Moving towards Lann as well, Darya awaits the response to Siff's question as she looks ast her companions. "You all ok?"

"... fine. How are you holding up?" Nazz says about herself as she looks to her other companions, Darya in particular. In fact, she seemed to look better than during the fight. Her hate releasing its grasp on her soul and body momentarily made her appear exhausted and refreshed at the same time.

"I've been better."

"I'm good, lost some time after that light show, but better now. Let me help." the aasimar replies resting a hand on Shear's shoulder, a glow radiating from her hand as twin pulses of energy washes over the feral looking warrior.

Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 2

She moves over, rubbing her hand along the small of Nazz back as she releases another pulse of energy.

Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

As she steps back ste's struck by the oddity that there is a strange similarity to both Nazz and Shear's energy.

'World wound does some strange $#!+ to people'

"Thanks. They hit hard." Khan says before healing himself as well.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Nazz jolts as Darya touches that spot and then channels divine power through the area. Though she held back the uncharacteristic squeak that almost got out, instead she shoots the Paladin an aside glance. "... yesthankyou."

The corner of her mouth curling in a slight smile Darya nods. "Anytime."

Anytime? Nazz cheeks began to redden worse as she hurriedly nods in thanks to Darya

Iradyiel searches Hosilla's body...
