Jod Eastwind |
Jod looks for a way of securing the door he heard the scratching at at I15.
If it opens away, can he thread the half of the glaive through it and across the doorway to prevent it? If it opens in, is there something he can slide in front of it?
I suspect that's all I can do this round.

We skipped a whole section of init in Round 1.

Human 3- Nothing

Jod 4 Block Door
Mongrelman 6 3 Failed Movement with Acrobatics?
Human 3 is up retroactively to finish round 1, then Rhok and I.
Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Actually, no, I think Mulluq got out of sequence and I didn't notice. We simply rolled initiative on from the point where Ghroth flung open the door, since we didn't actually stop the initiative count at any point. I added the initiatives of the new guys, and then we went on from there to Kira (possibly Hannik is owed an action if it wasn't posted with Ghroth's). Maybe Mulluq also thought we were starting at the top again.
Sooo....
Since Mulluq put an action in, we'll run with that action as his action for this turn - he's detecting evil and moving 5'. So we roll on to Human 3, then it's Rhok. And since I don't have Human 3's stats to hand, it'll have to wait until tonight.
Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Rhok Redmoon |
Hmmm... I'm throwing my flask of acid at the human, then using my Omen special ability to demoralise her.
With exaggerated care, Rhok pulls a ceramic vial from his belt and chucks it at the human blocking the corridor. "There's more where that came from, fool!", he barks as the corrosive liquid splatters over her.
Attack roll 13+3=touch AC 16, damage 1d6=5 acid. Intimidate check 12+9=21.
Hannik |
The glaive rebounds off a patch of armored scales and Ghroth gurgles in rage. The outsider throws the haft of the polearm aside and steps inside her reach slashing and snapping in an attempt to bring her down.
Change of plans. With a reach weapon she is too removed from the rest of the group and Ghroth can only make one attack per round by staying at reach. Have to take her out ASAP.

Kira's spell leaves a line of painful blisters on the woman's face.
The tiefling and the mongrelwoman continue to shoot at Ghroth. Another mongrelman tries to step out of the grease and aid his leader.
M7 Acrobatics 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
M7 then moves up on Ghroth, presumably provoking an AoO. He then attacks Ghroth.

Sol.
Sol Calondor |
Unable to get through the doorway, and thinking ranged combat unlikely, Sol pulls the shield from his back and slips his arm through the leather loops. Drawing his dagger, he moves to the other door to try to keep it closed.
Move to H10. Hopefully that door opens inward?
Hannik |
Ghroth drops his jaw open wide and a slimy open mouthed tentacle ringed in needle-like teeth darts out and around the corner at the mongrel man trying to angle in on him.
Bite AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
EDIT: Needed to be a bite attack since reach grants the AoO. No bleed.
Jod Eastwind |
If only I had any chance of making an acrobatics roll...
Taking up his sword after affixing the glaive to the door, Jod moves into position behind the unusual creature Hannick called to the fight. He ducks to stay below any arrows shot by his allies.
That's probably that for this round.
Hannik |
Yuck - so you went Alien on us like Vatters wanted...
When I thought about it dropping forward to get reach didn't really allow him to get back upright in his original square where he should be.
Sorry for the blockade at the moment guys. As soon as this woman drops I'll move Ghroth into the next room and enlarge him. I should have realized at least one of them would have a reach weapon since glaives are kind of their thing.Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Mulluq'Tar Sheptat |
Given his position, with no way to even reach the fight, Mulluq instead transitions his search for evil across the other notable enemies. He does an intense scan on the blue mongrelwoman, as well as the kindred form of the other tiefling. There has to be someone in charge of it all that stands out due to a wicked heart.

Mulluq:
The woman takes out a potion and drinks. Her wounds begin to look slightly better. She takes a step back.
No AoO from Ghroth as he's already had one.

Sol dithers by the door, waiting for more enemies to pour through.
Just delay. While he's at that, how about a Perception check to hear what's on the far side of the door.

Jod
Hannik |
Once shield wears off he'll start taking some hits.
Or once they start rolling natural 20's... ;)
4/20 hps, but no worries there as our healing is limited. They still have a low chance of hitting him for 3 rounds. If he falls I'll bring in distractions.Jod Eastwind |
Jod follows the train through the door, noting the way on the left is clear and trying to time his movements so Rhok and Kira are between him and the threats on the right. He moves up to engage Ghroth's current foe. Movement to L14

Mulluq'Tar Sheptat |
After focusing on each of the enemies present that stand out as above the rabble, Mulluq is eager to follow the group's rush into the room, although they almost all got in ahead of him. Seeing the human woman, an outsider among the mongrelfolk, displaying the stink of evil above all the others, he decides to strike at her.
First he has to get to her, and he can only see one way. He needs her spot. Saying a prayer to his goddess, "Iomedae, blessed of the light, let me strike down the evil that presents itself.", he rushes up into the room and straight at the woman, trying to launch her back into the grease, and take her position in the room. Empowered by his goddess' glory, and the insight granted by the spell cast on him earlier, he makes his move.
Okay, here goes.
Swift, Smite Evil against H3 (+3 to hit, +2 dmg/AC)
Move, to K15 to Bull rush (if unsuccessful, do I get pushed back to I15, or nearest empty at K14?)
Standard, Bull rush H3 into M17 (and take her space - L16) 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 24 (+smite +guidance) vs H3's CMD
(I should be AoO free, after Ghroth took them all)
Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
OK, I get what you are trying to do, but I'm ruling it illegal. You can't act from a space someone else is already occupying - in other words, if you want to bull rush someone, you have to be standing in an unoccupied square in order to do it. Since Kira is already in K15 you can't make your bull rush attempt from there. Please reconsider your action, but you can keep the roll above (since its quite good).
Mulluq'Tar Sheptat |
Understandable, no worries, wasn't fully sure. No, there's nothing else I can really do using that roll, so I'll just skip it all and double-move to N14.
Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Mulluq's movement provokes an AoO from T1 and M5, since they didn't have one before on Ghroth.
T1 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 to hit, 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage
M5 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 to hit, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage
Mongrelman 9 will try a Climb check again 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Another mongrelman climbs up from the depths.
The human woman steps back and tries to cast a spell.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 v DC 17 to cast defensively
Ghroth.
Hannik |
Despite being stabbed from multiple directions at once, Ghroth's eel-like tongue darts out as if possessed of a mind of its own and snaps at the mongrel man climbing the shaft. Moments later the amphibian horror rears back with claws upturned at its side and roars another gurgling challenge as it begins growing and expanding. Within seconds it towers over the cultists and allies alike. Transformation complete, Ghroth looks down on the human woman with the glaive and lunges forward to catch her arm in his jagged jaw. Wrenching the glaive aside he drives a claw into her torso.
#9 will provoke the reach attack while climbing
Bite AoO, Still Fighting Defensively until his next turn: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 4 = 11
Ghroth delays to go after Hannik now.

Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Ghroth's tongue quests for the climbing mongrelman, but it manages to avoid harm as it reaches the top of the hole. But as the eidolon expands in size with Hannik's spell, the human cultist finally falls to the embiggened Ghroth.
H3 down.
Kira gets over-excited and her sword simply strikes sparks from the door lintel.
Rhok.
Aubrey the Demented/Malformed |
Rhok's attack is spoilt by having to fight around the doorway.
Mongrelman 8 will delay since there is nowhere he can climb to.
The tiefling stabs at Jod before stepping out from his uncomfortable position, surrounded by Ghroth, Jod and Mulluq. The blue mongrelwoman attacks Ghroth with her club.

As the group of enemies dwindle, Mulluq takes a step toward the blue mongrelwoman that has been trouble from early on, and strikes out with both sword and fang. Even so, he does it with remorse, "I do not harbor ill will against your people, but you fight for the side of darkness, and for that I must stop you." He finishes right before his powerful jaws snap at her.
