That'll automatically do enough damage to kill Torg, drinker and singer of songs. Whatever his story was, you'll never know it now. The dwarf has seen too many prone crusaders get a cure spell and pop up again to take any chances.
"Okay, then. Nice and slow, now..." The dwarf is attempting to move out of the Grease spell. That's a DC 10 Acrobatics check: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Takka of the Toad |
I'm here! And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good save. Also, do I need to make another Reflex save for Sleek to escape, or is he stuck until next round?
Takka Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Welp, crud! I probably should've let you roll it for me. XD Sorry guys, my kobold luck ran out. That or Apsu just told me I'm on my own now.
Douglas Muir 406 |
Sleek can attempt to escape on his initiative, which is the same as yours.
"Villains! You shall... ah heh... ah ha... ah hoo ha HA HA HA HA" Takka topples over, out of control. Suddenly he sees the insanity and absurdity of his situation! It's all so... hideously funny! He writhes helplessly on the floor, consumed with mad laughter.

Hey, it was a great run! Takka has contributed much to the battle and the narrative. Unlike SOME of us ... >_>

Okay, summarizing Round 5:
Takka: Laughing helplessly on the ground
Sir Constantine: no longer paralyzed but still fascinated
Haruka: just regained consciousness, playing dead
Balek: fascinated
Kyami: dead
Osei: upstairs still writing
Sleek: in watersphere taking nonlethal damage
NPCs
Nurrah: still disappeared, no sign of her
Torg: dead
Laurine: fascinated
Anycek: fascinated
Don: in watersphere
Sergeant Kir: still unconscious
Benno: on ground next to demon and dwarf
Round 6 Initiative:
Nurrah, Takka, Sir Constantine, Haruka, Cringing Robed Guy, Balek, Kyami, Torg, Laurine, Lewis, Osei, the Dwarf, Demon, Anycek, and Don.
Takka, you can try a save to get out of the laughter. However, making the save is a FRA and even if you make it, you'll still be prone.
Balek Nine-fingered |
same old, same old....
Balek is still desperately struggling towards the surface of his mind, only to be shoved back down again and again by the rainbow covering the river...
Torg! No!
"Oooooooooh...."

Round 3:minimum. Dwarf, Vhane, Drezen. DemonSENT
Round 4:insectile, mind eggs. Lewis, human?SENT
Round 5:Robed figure, arcane. Blue engaging.SENT
Having completed the full sending, Osei rolls the now magically expended parchment, and seals it back into the scroll case. Inventory updated.
Red Doorway take the Garrison if they don't respond. Is ... is that a cackling kobold?
Osei creeps to the edge of the shaft, to gauge the status of his team.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Douglas Muir 406 |
Because if Haruka is still playing possum, we can fast forward through Round 6...
"They're going to snap out of it in a few seconds," says Lewis.
"Yeah, I think we can handle a few mooks, Lewis. Get over here and slap that heal on me, though." The dwarf strolls over to where the kobold is wriggling on the ground. He grins. "Okay, that's pretty funny. Well." He draws back his foot and delivers a savage kick to the helpless Takka.
1d20 ⇒ 17 for 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage. Yes, the dwarf has Unarmed Strike. He took it for exactly this reason... he likes kicking people. Takka, that means next round you'll need stabilization checks. Assuming he doesn't just kick you to death, of course.
Douglas Muir 406 |
Lewis taps the dwarf on the shoulder, healing him for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 of damage. "More," grunts the dwarf irritably. "My face isn't healed. If she scarred my face, I swear I'll have her raised, just so I can cut her face off and make her eat it."
Lewis rolls his eyes. "I said, they're going to wake up...?"
"Yeah yeah. If you can deal with the little girl over there -- think you can handle that? -- I'll have a friendly chat with Sir Shouts-A-Lot." The dwarf spins his glaive, shifting the grip back to a longer reach.
Douglas Muir 406 |
Probably should have rolled Sleek's save first. But never mind... I won't retcon the above. Assume they're ignoring Sleek, at least for the moment, in order to grab a quick heal and remove Takka from the board.
Okay, what if anything does Sleek do? Note that he's no longer being controlled by Takka, so he's acting on animal instinct now. Presumably he'd either flee or attack the dwarf.
Takka of the Toad |
Takka Stabilization: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Stumbling out of the watersphere, Sleek gets his legs beneath him before looking around for his rider. Spying Takka laying immobile at the foot of the dwarf, and watching as the bearded one kicks him, Sleek lets out a roaring croak, before barreling down on the dwarf with slime slathering off his back.
Sleek is making a bullrush attempt on the dwarf. If successful, he can coat him in slime as well to entangle him. (Bullrushes and overrunning lather the target in it if successful. Yeah, it's nasty stuff) I'm pretty sure this will provoke an AoO from the dwarf when he moves in, but thus is the way of battle.
Sleek Bullrush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Douglas Muir 406 |
It definitely provokes an AoO from the dwarf. Here it is: 1d20 ⇒ 9 That's enough to hit: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Edit: No, wait a moment, I just checked: Slurks have Improved Bull Rush! So, no AoO.
Edit2: No, wait again. Looking on your page, I only see Jumper for Sleek's feat. Is that because he only gets one feat as your mount? Clarification?
Douglas Muir 406 |
Douglas Muir 406 wrote:Okay. Well, that means no bullrush, because damage taken from an AoO is added to the defender's CMD.It does? I'm rereading the bullrush rules and I can't find where it says that.
It's in the general discussion of all combat maneuvers. "Unless otherwise noted, performing a combat maneuver provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of the maneuver. If you are hit by the target, you take the damage normally and apply that amount as a penalty to the attack roll to perform the maneuver." I said above it was added to the CMD, but mathematically it's the same thing.
Sir Constantine Godalming |
Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Constantine wakes from his dream just in time to see a demon assaulting both his body and his mind.
The physical hurts, but the mental assault was something else....
"Avaunt evil for all my strength, all my heart and all my mind dost belong to God!"

Longsword Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Don manages to flip himself out of the watersphere at the very end of the round and then stops, staring into the room. Then, he takes out his lucky coin and, with a murmured prayer, flips it.
The dwarf frowns at him, but Lewis brightens. "A Sczarni! Hello, chicken! It's bona to vada, but you're a proper bimbo if you don't troll right now -- the clot here is ready to zhoosh you good!"
"Stop that," says the dwarf. "It's annoying."

Longsword Attack 1d20+3
Damage 1d8+2
Wow, you made your Will save! And now you're totally fighting a demon, hand to hand in melee. (Okay, hand to tongue.) Good for you. Good for you.
(What did it feel like? Exactly what it looked like: something flexible but stiff trying to insert itself into your mind. You managed to resist -- this time -- but the demon is horribly strong.
As noted, that was your next round's action. (You didn't hit.)

Osei Otieno |
"Inszzurance," comes the horrible buzzing voice. "Amuszement. And a ssnack."
"Snack?" The dwarf frowns. "For me or for you?"
If Osei made out this exchange, it is reasonable that, from context ('insurance' and 'snack'), he has identified that the demon has /someone/ in tow. Snack, he understands, but ... insurance?
Insurance against what? They certainly do not need the aid of a hostage to escape our efforts. This is curious, unless the demon is simply sowing chaos. Hmm.
Haruka Shiraboshi |
' girl over there, That meens either me, Laurine or Anycek. if he comes here then playing dead won't do me any good if I can't realy do anything'
Haruka opens her eyes and strugles to break free again.
break free: 1d20 ⇒ 19
HP should be 2 right now.
where is the exit of this room? to the north or th the east?

Osei's a clever guy. Sure.

Demons do sow chaos! but they like other things as well.

[dice=break free]1d20

Wow, you got out twice in a row!
There are two exits, one on the NW and one to the east. The one to the NW is currently blocked by the bad guys -- no way out there without eating an AoO. The one to the east, you could reach; you'd have to pass Robed Guy, but he doesn't seem inclined to make trouble (and anyway he doesn't have a weapon on him right now).
Breaking free was a move, so you could still take a move or a standard.
Takka of the Toad |
Stabilization: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Sleek snarled an angry croak at the dwarf, before bringing back it's mighty tusks to try and chomp at the dwarf, circling about to try and interpose himself between Takka and his aggressor.
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 182d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6) + 3 = 14
Haruka Shiraboshi |
'this fight is hopeless, we would need a wonder to win. But I can't simply leave them, it is my duty to stand by ther side. But if we all die here, I would achive nothing. if I can save even one of them.... Laurine, I can grab her and run, I hope she goes along with it'
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Haruka Shiraboshi |
wait for fasciantion to break
Haruka having come to a decision, waits for Laurine to snap out of her confusion, grab her hand and make a run for it
"Laurine we have to get out of here"
"we can't win in here, the dwarf holds every advantage with his polearm and us unarmed"
cast cure light wounds(defencively if necesary)
if Laurine is more hurt than Haruka
on Laurine
else
on Haruka
whatever I need to roll: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Osei Otieno |
Who is still alive down there? Should I descend? What good would it do, if I were to join them?
Osei furrows his brow and rubs his bald pate, wrestling internally in the ominous quiet.
Given the apparent ease with which the enemy has dispatched each team - including the more experienced among us - I do not think my simple magics would contribute more than an annoyance. No doubt, while I would quite /enjoy/ annoying those servants of the Abyss, such actions most likely would result in my capture. Or death. Or worse ... And to what end? No. Best that I live to relay more information than the 25 words I sent to Kenabres. The Garrison has been informed about the situation, and by now, they will have received the message in full. I will remain and recover the bodies for proper burial, or aid survivors. I wonder if the safehouse medical supplies are still intact?
Osei maintains a perceptive vigil at the top of the shaft, but notices Team Evil has moved closer to that portal. He is ready to quickly, and as quietly as possible, bolt for the exit up the corridor if they make efforts to ascend.
Douglas Muir 406 |
wait for fasciantion to break
Haruka having come to a decision, waits for Laurine to snap out of her confusion, grab her hand and make a run for it
"Laurine we have to get out of here"
Laurine, eyes wide, looks around and then nods once. The two of you rush towards the other exit...
Slight complication: because getting out of the goop was a standard action, you can only move 30' this round. That brings you to the door. Laurine could move 120 at a run, since she took no other action this round... but she doesn't want to leave you behind. So she's pausing beside you. Instead of running away, she's casting a quick spell.
"This is a spell of protection against evil..."
