Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign
Game Master baldwin the merciful

Andrea and others taking acid damage just use the roll that I made for each round 4.

The crowd roars with a laughter when the fool addresses them.

Arg! Slay the beast! Cut your comrades free! Arg!

Recaps. 1st Round Andra casts Resist Acid on John. 2nd Round she channels for 5 HP healed for everyone. 3rd round she Summons an air elemental(4 roudns duration) to pull the actress out. 4th round she heals 5 more points of damage for eeryone

Brave Torturer who has joined Lezard!(That is you John) Please hold me in your (acid resistant arms) and out of this foul slurry in the monster's belly!

Tweaker does another big windup and slings the bag at the glass.

And hear is the toss: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

climb 1d20+6

attack 1d20+6
damage 1d10+3

Lucrezia will climb out and help Tweaker try busting up the beast from the outside and to give Duncan more room to swing inside.

The serpents neck only permits one person to wiggle through at a time and the actress that Orsin is helping is in the way. There is no room to get through and over other members.

Tweaker does another big windup and slings the bag at the glass.

[dice=And hear is the toss]1d20 +1; 1d8 +2

The glass clearly webs out in multi-directions now to the raor of the crowd and the grunts of the Thesling.

HAANDERTHAN

"How dare you, you fool to interfere with the trial, I condemn you to death with your traitorous frinds."

{He ab-lib's the situation.}

Ah, missed that and thought John was holding her. I'll switch that climb to aid another to help her then?

So we are waiting on Orsin? He did say we could pilot him while he is asleep in RL. So he could climb up, Cast solid note and send the rope down. 3 rounds before we coudl use the rope?

The frightened actress manages to shimmy her pay up the beasts neck with all the hands on her rump giving her assistance. Providing enough room for the the next one to get in place.

Andrea grits her teeth, her feet melting as a command leaves her lips as the air whirls into a small form.

Elemental of Air! aid me out of here!

Andrea holds her arms out for the elemental

Orsin does manage to climb his way to the top and he lowers the rope. I have this a round 6, 3 rounds of actress failing climbs then the 4th round of a successful climb, followed by Orsin needing a round to get up then a round to lower the rope. Duncan begins to hit the beasts belly Rd 3, Tweaker in Rd 4.

Tweaker take two more blows at the belly to shatter it. Duncan has 3 blows.

edit. Whoops. Forgot the set damage

ARG! (down to 23 hp

Andrea grits her teeth, her feet melting as a command leaves her lips as the air whirls into a small form.

Elemental of Air! aid me out of here!

Andrea holds her arms out for the elemental

Before you burn the spell let Duncan and Tweaker hit the glass. You will be needing your spells.

edit. Whoops. Forgot the set damage

ARG! (down to 23 hp

No need to roll acid damage by the round. I rolled the damage per round at that the beginning it is 4HPs i'm trying to keep it simple and easier to read.

Yea. I had remembered 4 HP, then forgot it again.

Lucrezia, rememebr to heal 10 points to you due to Andrea's channeling

Action change for round 3 then. She cures the actress with a charge from her want

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

next action is either climb or aiding another to climb, not sure who's up next to get out 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

So 4 rounds in the acid for Lucrezia=16 points, cure 10 of that from Andrea's channel

Round 5 Damage: Down to 19 (Unless John or Duncan pick me up)

John picks you up last round, as Duncan hit hits glass.

Between Duncan and Tweaker hitting on the glass it bursts open sending the acid onto the stage wiht a giant "OHHHHHHHHHHHH" from the crowd.

When it glass shatters there is a healing wave that rushes over you form the front row. Where Arael is sitting Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) = 6

Thesling and DeLour are visibly upset at this result.

You can heal up and prep in the green room for a few minutes. As the Diva sings in the Chorus.

Act 5: The Birthing Trial

I changed this ACT quite a bit, you were suppose to eat the eggs and they birth out of your flesh but I thought that was bit too much. You are almost home!

HAANDERTHAN

"You have crawled from the maw of the Beast. Let us see
what blasphemous lies slither from the depths of Hell. Show them."

The Bailiff brings out seven crimson eggs to the stage. One for each cast member.

DROVALID

"Dear Asmodeus! Spare us!"

LARAZOD

"What means these strange crimson eggs?"

DROVALID

"Oh horror beyond nightmare! The eggs, they are hatching to our doom. When these foul devils have eaten their fill, they tear us to pieces! Hideous devil-children bearing our own faces, but filled with hate for all we are. We are mothers to twisted things and look
upon our own visage as we die by their taloned hands."

HAANDERTHAN

"Shall you recant now, or will you give birth to abominations
of your very flesh?"

ILSANDRA

"Do your worst, fool of a mortal. I am a princess to hell, and no
child born of my black soul shall bear malice against me.
Larazod lifts the Bailiff off the ground by the throat with one
mighty hand."

LARAZOD

"Ha! Let your egg hatch, you lickspittle. If Asmodeus wishes
it, I shall choke the life of my own devilish child with glee.
I gulp this egg down before this court and our dark lord’s
very eyes."

DENTRIS

"Well, give me mine. Not much good it shall avail you.
The real Dentris Maltrada was killed ages ago at my own
devilish hands when I was born from his old soul. I am a
child of this egg."

TYBAIN

"Truly?! I had no idea!"

DENTRIS

"If only everyone was as naïve as ye, paladin." Then she glances ad the fool poiokinghis egg on the ground with his finger...giggling.

[Fargus]

Poking the egg as is cracks, giggling.

[Monris]

"Ain't no better egg than scrambled"

TYBAIN

"I like eggs! Red, white, or otherwise. Hand me mine! I’ll
eat it raw!"

The companions watch the their eggs hatch and hideous devil children are
born from them. They battle the devil children valiantly. Ilsandra,
amazed that her daughter attacks her, lashes out with ferocity.

ILSANDRA

"No! My child! Forgive me! You’ll pay for this, Haanderthan—
with your heart’s blood, and with every shred of your soul."

Seven Lemures emerge hungry for flesh...I'll roll initiative when I get off my call.

All those Hellknights in the audience to watch John fight and kill a devil, possibly.

Did we take a 5th round of acid damage before the belly burst?

I guess so Time to heal up! Rememebr you healed 6 from Areal

Andrea uses 3 charges of the wand on Orsin, herself and Lucrezia
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Andrea Back to full
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Lucrezia
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Orsin

Andrea crawls out, looking like an acid scarred ghoul as she staggers off-stage.

Arael + Andrea and I'm back to full even if I take 4 more in round 5. Now my only damage is to *my* shin from falling up the stairs...

"Thank you Andrea. How many more damn acts do we still have to go through?

Two more. Andrea hacks as her skin painfully knits back togteher.

All we needed was to turn invisible and break in.All we needed to do is jump on his head when he came back and we'd be inide. Andrea mutters to herself

I have several Buffs available. 2 Potions Resist Evil, 1 of Shield of Faith, a Bless Spell and a Bull's Endurance. (+4 CON) Does anyone want something? Best dip into your backpacks.

I was working on a character and just got absorbed trying to do a story to make the concept. Sorry about that. I would have done more swings quicker but figured everyone would get a chance to at least kick at the glass.

This is one of those that I didn't expect to be able to do much. The crowd seemed to like the way it went but that other actor seemed to get very upset. Is he going to be a problem? Tweaker is ready for this to be over. This is not a way that he views as productive. Everyone is taking a beating and there is no avoiding the danger.

No problem Tweaker. RP is what makes the game great. You have been doing great.

Those two wanted us to die no doubt. That Thesling hates Orsin and the fat one hates Ilsandra's actress. Are you alright? Andrea looks at the suffering actress.

The actress is shocked and sobbing, startled that she would be put in acid. "Why are they trying to hurt me...to actually hurt you all?"

Trial of Birth Initiative:

Init.

Tweaker
CN
Lucrezia
Lemure
Andrea
Orsin
John
Duncan

Rd 1 Begins as everyone has a single Lemure in front of them a the beginning of the scene.

Okay, despite all the damage from the acid, between two channels and a cure spell, Orsin's at full life.

"If Thelsing does have something planned," Orsin says between acts, "I don't think it's happened yet. Everything we've experienced so far has been unspeakably horrible, but doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility for this play."

"Well, if he's being theatrical he's most likely saving it up for the Grand Finale."

Act V

Lucrezia takes a swing at the Lemure in front of her. Hopefully I can kill mine quick and then help out the others.

attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
using the alchemical silver flail since they called them devil children

edit: *sigh* Better luck next swing...

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Andrea before combat can you use a scroll of lesser restoration on me?

Orsin swings briskly at the lemure before him, his blade flickering with an infusion of magic.

Longsword PA: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Andrea casts Lesser Restoration on John

Ability damage heal: 1d4 ⇒ 2

I don't know why they would want to do so much direct harm to us. Andrea tells the cryign actress. This being Chelix it is no doubt 'just because'. JUst keep behind us and we will handle these lemures.

Andrea bashes at the lemure with her Morning star

Morning star+1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Plus these things look like small potatoes considering how much of a terror that cleric is supposed to be.

STAGE MAP 1

Here is Map one of the stage and devils. The coordinates are a bit off with the pre-made Piazo map but you get the idea.

Andrea, and others, technically you don't know what hatches ahead of time. I simply put up the script so we can all follow along.

CN has no idea what this creatures is and screechs in fear. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH, Help as she immediately runs towards Orsin for help." She has no idea this brings about an attack from a devil. the crowd erupts with glee at the fright and attack.

Lemure AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d4 ⇒ 1

The creature swipes at her but misses. She manages to get near Orsin at G/F3.

Duncan is actually relieved to be doing what he was used to again. He would have to make short work of his Lemure and assist the others. THIS he was good at.
2handed power attack, Cestus penalty:1d20 + 7 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 1 - 1 = 16
Alchemical Silver Battle axe damage, Destructive Smite1d8 + 4 - 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 1 + 3 + 2 = 11

Die, Beastie!

John -misses and deploys Tower Shield

Duncan - Duncan hit and hurts his devil but it is still up. (Likewise the creature goes before Duncan but I haven't rolled it out yet.)

With Orsin's single kill swipe the crowd goes wild with is followed shortly by cheering for the dwarf's swipe.

The actors that miss are given an assortment of ahhhhhhs, and oh no's

"Don't try using Acid or ice spells on these things, use silver weapons if you have them."

John will take his silver mace and attack the closest Lemure.
Attack with power attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Joihn will then put on his tower shield.

I will be off line for a little bit now.

Duncan accepts the hit from his Lemure and continues to press his attack.

2 hand PA1d20 + 7 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 - 1 = 22
Damage1d8 + 4 - 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 1 + 3 = 14

UPDATED MAP

Rd 2 begins:

Init.

Tweaker
CN- screams and hides behind Orsin.
Lucrezia
Lemure
Andrea
Orsin
John
Duncan - Killing blow against his Lemure.

RD2:

CN continues to scream and hide behind Orsin. She is without a weapon and has no clue on how to use a real weapon.

Tweaker sees the thing standing on side of stage and stands on toes to look over edge of stage then slams his arms into the ugly thing in front of him.

Please fall down: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Don't really know how Bull Rush works but know he gets and AoO on me or the extra squares of movement if exceed by more than 5 as will not move off stage.

John! Flank the one on me!

Andrea douses the Lemure with a flask of holy water.

Touch attack with Holy water: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 152d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Since Tweaker and Lucrezia still need to post and Duncan is asleep, we might need to slow down a bit

attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
damgage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Lucrezia swings at the creature facing her again.

edit: i swear i'll hit the damn thing eventually

It provokes an AoO, just use mthe first roud attack roll I made previously as the AoO. He hit you. You do manaige to shove it off the stage 10 feet and into the crowd. There is a screech of horro from the audience in the front row.

declined popularity for putting audience in harms way: 1d10 ⇒ 4

You still have RD2's action

That is why I was asking as I wasn't wanting to do more than push it off the stage. Wasn't wanting to push it more. I just wanted to push it off and then jump on it. Was afraid moving with it pushed it farther.

Tweaker will jump down and attempt to slay the foul beast.

Jump down with a flip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Die vile spawn: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Return to whence you came: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Did not count if it was prone from falling off stage

Orsin takes a five-foot step to 3G to dispatch the lemure west of him.

+1 steel longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27

Damage roll: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Man, I come back and Sneak is trying to kill the fans?

Is it better to be hated or loved? Wait, that was feared or loathed or something. Anyway..I'd rather be alive than rich and famous.

Maybe if he saves the audience member from death in a dashing way all will be forgiven.

PLus considering the types who watching the show, they are evil sadistic douche-bags that deserve it in retaliation for supporting a murder-play. HAIL CALISTRIA!

First on page 100!

John will 5ft sept to flank with Andrea, and then he will attack that one.
Attack with power attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
