DM Elanmorin's Hell' Rebels

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

As the imp finishes its casting, Valrani tries to seize the oportunity and smashes it with her staff.
attack of oportuntiy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage(magic,blunt): 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 + 1 = 13

And then the spiders fangs sink into her arm.

"Arrghhh
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

She swings once again at the small devil, trying to finish it off.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage(magic,blunt): 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 + 1 = 18

Oren swings twice at the black spider directly in front of her, trusting her mates to take on the imp.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Should Morricone not been closer, otherwise the swam shouldn´t have hit him?

@Morricone: Actually Morricone was up in the room above with everyone else and the swarm. The action moved away from the place where the fight started and the Imp is quick

Valrani misses her attack and the imp is finally free to complete reading his scroll summoning the spiders that bite on Valrani poisoning her and causing her to feel weaker.

Valrani suffers 1d2 ⇒ 2 str damage, she's have to check again next round, still fort DC14

Kurglun smashes the black spider breaking a few of its hairy legs while Rocco stays behind his companions ready to help them in case they are wounded.

Lirotha tries to target the imp with her card throwing magic but misses the mark while the Hound of Kintargo reloads his pistol.

Oren follows Kurglunn's example and smashes a spider as well.

Morricone moves nearer to the fight.

Valrani finally manages to land her staff on the Imp with brutal force... yet the creature weathers the damage better than it could be expected.

Despite being half dead the black spider tries to retaliate against Oren. its extraplanar origin clearly making it unnaturally bold.

Attack roll (Black vs Oren): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 -> Damage roll: 1d6 ⇒ 6

But it misses and its companion tries to finish off Valrani instead!

Attack roll (Blue vs Valrani): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 -> Damage roll: 1d6 ⇒ 1

@Valrani: the next save against poison is now DC16 and the length of the effect has increased to 6 rounds (still ends if you manage to save)

And the Imp... the Imp just disappears in a puff of smoke!

Stealth check: 1d20 + 21 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 21 + 20 = 45

Perception DC 45 to pinpoint the creature's new position, remember you have a +20 bonus to perception for this roll

Round 5 - Bold may post

Valrani 20/24hp, -2str
Oren 30/30hp
Talon 21/21hp

Oren couldn't be bothered with the imp, as the black spider was trying to maul her face off. She swings twice at it yet again.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

If the spider drops, she will look for remnants of the imp.

Perception 1d20 + 7 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 20 = 30

The Hound keeps his eyes peeled for the imp, ready to shoot it's cursed wings off.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 20 = 45

And he takes the shot!
"There you are you devil!"

Attack Touch AC within 20ft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

If it's close to an ally he'll use Martial Flexibility to get Precise shot as a move action first and then make the attack. If It's not near an ally, he'll take the shot and then reload as his move action.

perception: 1d20 + 8 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 20 = 39
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Valrani continues to weaken from the spiders, bringing her staff down on the closest one.

attack spider: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 = 12
damage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 1 = 12

Oren brutally kills the black spider sending ichor splashing on herself and Kurglunn.

Valrani tries to retaliate on its bluish companion but in her weakened state her attack goes wide.

This round Valrani suffers another 1d2 ⇒ 2 points of str damage

The Hound's exceptionally sharp senses allow him to notice the Imps's new hiding spot and he shoots it with accuracy forcing the creature to become visible for everyone else! Unfortunately the Hound's weapon does not seem to be able to cause any major damage to the creature though.

Oren 30/30hp
Talon 21/21hp

In case I forgot, you could discern some of this opponent's weaknesses and abilities with a DC19 Knowledge (planes) check

Hatred emanating in waves from her, Lirotha moves to within 30 feet of the imp-like creature and gestures wildly!

"Nap time rat-boy!"

Slumber Hex! Will save, DC 14 or he falls asleep.

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Rocco is still unsure of what this thing is, but he knows they need to take it out quickly. Those pipes were certainly a nuisance, and he definitely doesn't want any more spiders showing up. So he calls out to Kurglunn, directing his phantasmal ally to get in position to attack the imp while the women take care of the remaining spider.

Once Kurglunn is in place, Rocco casts a new spell, channeling the chill of the grave into and through Kurglunn, hoping that this creature doesn't possess some unnatural resistance to such things.

Casting Chill Touch and having Kurglunn deliver the spell.

Before the words leave Rocco's mouth, Kurglunn is already hurrying back toward the flying enemy's new position. He swings mightily at the creature with an ectoplasmic arm.

Slam, pa: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Damage, pa: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

His attack misses horribly, however. That's when he feels Rocco's power coursing through him, though. As the spell wells up within him and courses down to his hand, Kurglunn reaches out and tries to lay a hand on the creature.

Chill Touch touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Negative Energy Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

On a hit, the creature also must make a DC15 fort save or take 1 point of strength damage.
Just to be clear on the turn order here, Kurglunn's turn was technically first, and he moved over to the enemy and used a standard action to attack. Then, on Rocco's turn, Rocco cast Chill Touch. With Kurglunn's deliver touch spell ability, Kurglunn then made the touch attack for that spell as an immediate action. Yeah, this is gonna be a thing now. Haha!

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

The imp easily shruggs off the effects of Lirotha's hex and avoids Kurglunn's clumsy attempts at smashing it from the air. Only Morricone can do something before the creature turs invisible again!

Can't move on map from cell phone

Morricone runs towards the little devil and slashes at it savagely causing damage... but not nearly enough to kill the creature who in response disappears again!

Stealth check: 1d20 + 21 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 20 = 60

Ok... DC to locate it this time is 60... You have a +20 but I doubt any of you can do it

And the surviving spider attacks Val again!

Attack roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 -> Damage roll: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Valrani is now poisoned for a total of 8 rounds (3 over already), DC to stop the str loss is now 18. This round she loses another 1d2 ⇒ 1 str points

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
The rapidly weakening Valrani tries once again to finish off the spider.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 2d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 + 3 = 15

"Ugh... this poison is sapping my strength..."

Oren takes a 5' step toward the last spider and swings twice at it.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Unsure where the creature may be, Lirotha moves to Rocco and attempts heal his rat bites.

Healing Hex: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Thanks," Rocco grunts to Lirotha as she heals his wounds. He calls Kurglunn over and does the same for the phantom, sort of.

CLW Kurglunn: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

The phantom simply stands beside his master, waiting and watching for some sign of their small flying enemy.

Kurglunn 5ft steps over to Rocco to get healed, then prepares an attack in case the creature reappears next to him, fighting defensively.

Slam, defensive: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 4 = 2

The Hound stalks around looking not for the creature, but for signs of it. Any drops of blood from it's wounds to give it away and waits with his pistol ready. Move and Ready Action to fire if he sees it or see's a spell cast from some position that's not from his allies.

Perception: 1d20 + 20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 7 = 45

@Valrani: Are you factoring the str loss with your attacks? If not please remember to do so, ty.

Valrani misses the spider but one of Oren's attacks does not, cracking the monster's chitinous exterior.

Lirotha and Rocco use their healing on their friends while the Hound searches for the invisible imp furiously but fails to find its hiding spot.

Morricone resumes his inspirational speach.
Inspire courage

Yes, 5 points of strength loss is -2 to attack and -3 to damage. Strength damage works slightly oddly in PF and you need two points for each decrease rather than just subtracting from the stat, which is how I thought it went. Val normally is +2(BAB) +4(STR) +1 (MW) = +7 to hit. For damage she is +6 (or +7 with shillelagh) with the STR damage, she is +5 to hit and +4 to damage

Having been hurt by Oren's attack the spider tries to retaliate in kind!

Attack roll (Blue vs Oren): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 -> Damage roll: 1d6 ⇒ 6

But the brawler is easily able to sidestep its poisonous fangs.

The imp suddenly reappears shooting at Talon with some sort of blowgun...

Attack roll (Imp vs Talon): 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 = 20 -> Damage roll: 1d1 ⇒ 1

and its dart founds its mark! It's just a scratch but Talon immediately notices how the inflicted wound is smeared with some sort of greenish substance...

Talon, please roll a DC13 fortitude save check

Tired of the back and forth with the annoying little pest-creature, Lirotha crankily shouts to all the other Silver Ravens!

"Grab it! Drown it in the water! See if it likes THAT!"

She then quickly moves to see the beast again, pulls and enchants another Harrow card throw attack!

Deadly Dealer Card(Fatigued!): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 1 = 23
Damage(Magic/Piercing): 1d4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 1 = 2
~Crit?
Deadly Dealer Card: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 1 = 23
Damage(Magic/Piercing): 1d4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 1 = 4

The card spins through the air, glowing intense blue with magical energy, and hits the beast directly!

Oren had to finish the spider and keep it from attacking the others.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

If the first punch finished the spider, Oren turns and moves 30' toward the imp.

fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Valrani tries to finish off the last spider.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11

"Not sure how much longer I can stay standing..."

Morricone charges the flying blowgun beast.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Rocco and Kurglunn move quickly to get back in the action of the fight with the imp. While Rocco runs to stand beside Lirotha, Kurglunn makes his way around the corner to back Morricone up. Though he is terrified at the idea of touching this thing except to take it down, and with a little mental probing from Rocco, Kurglunn does what Lirotha suggests and tries to grab the little bugger.

Attempting to grapple. This will provoke.
Grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

While Kurglunn gets a hold of the imp, Rocco hustles over behind Lirotha. When he sees that his phantasmal friend has definitely got the creature wrapped up (I'm assuming here) he once again channels the cold of the grave into and through Kurglunn.

Casting Chill Touch again and using Kurglunn's deliver touch spell ability
Chill Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Negative energy damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

On a hit, the creature also must make a DC15 fort save or take 1 point of strength damage.

Ooooohhh Rocco. Nice c-c-c-c-combo!

Forgot to roll sneak attack against Talon. He suffers an extra 1d6 ⇒ 3 points of damage

Lirotha throws a magically enanched card at the imp, and hits it perfectly. Yet this attack too seems to have very little effect on the fiendish opponent.

Oren and Valrani finish off the second spider, Valrani feels even weaker though.

Valrani suffers another 1d2 ⇒ 1 points of str damage though, 4 rounds remaining, DC18 fort save to stop the poison

Morricone charges and misses the imp while Kurglunn catches and wrestles it to the ground...

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 -> Damage roll: 1d4 ⇒ 1

...and the surprised Imp also fails to damage the phantom with its sting.

Rocco tries to cast his spell through his ghostly companion but Kurglunn cannot deliever the needed touch and fails to unleash the spell on the imp despite grappling it...

It has goos touch AC... grappling only gives -4 to dex

The Hound shrugs off the sting but in the brief seconds it takes she sees his companions rush at the imp and Kurglunn wrestle the ground.

When he gets his beaings he rushes in too and helps Kirglunn to grapple the creature.

Aid Another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

CMB vs CMD (Kurglunn): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

The Imp doesn't stay grappled for long, its fiendish agility and tiny stature helping it get free from Kurglunn's clutches then it flies away putting itself on the deeper part of the water...

The water is difficut terrain unless you pass a swim check DC15

Having dealt with the spider, Oren tucks into her bag, pulling out a stoppered vial. She tears the topper off with her teeth and liberally applies the contents to her right fist. She turns and moves toward the imp. "Come face me, devil. Your time causing mischief is done!"

Used Oil of Bless Weapon, which makes Oren's fist count as a good aligned weapon.

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 [ooc]Finally! I was forgetting my cloak of resistance. Can't have been sitting right on my shoulders[/dice]

Finally throwing off the effects of the poison, Valrani staggers towards the ongoing melee, determined to do her bit to help. She swipes at the imp again, trying to distract him more than actually hurt.

aid another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

But her weakened state doesn't make her too look intimidating.

Moving out to the dock Lirotha digs into her magic and energizes another Harrow card with a minor spell as she throws it!

The card, flies through the air...

Deadly Dealer Card RTA(Fatigued/Range Penalty): 1d20 + 4 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 1 - 2 = 2
Touch of Fatigue; Fort DC 13 or target is Fatigued for at least 1 minute!

...and hisses as it hits the water no where near the creature!

The Hound reloads and takes a shot at the imp across the water trying to bring it down.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

@ Valrani: As far as I know you can't use aid another in combat unless you are in melee and you can't be in melee with the imp since he was so distant from you and flying above the water. Therefore you still have a standard action to make

Valrani stumbles towards the fight while Oren prepares herself for the imminent confrontation. Lirotha throwing skills fail her, unlike Talon's who once again hits the Imp fair and square... yet the creature seems none the worse for wear, ahving taken no damage at all!

Edit: Please remember to move your tokens on the map

Valrani directs a bolt of ice at the imp.
ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
cold damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Though it may be out of range, in which case, Valrani just moves up with the rest of the team.

Both Rocco and Kurglunn move closer to the water, Rocco especially having to hustle to get anywhere near the water.

Kurglunn raises his fists above his head, trying to make himself look as big and imposing as he is able, and screams at the imp. "You no hurt us anymore! You go away or we kill you!"

Rocco double moves. Kurglunn moves up and tries to intimidate the demon.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Kurglunn's attempt to intimidate the Imp fails while Valrani's ice magic hits but doesn't seem to harm the little monster at all...

Yep: cold resistance on top of several DRs/Immunities... Just an hint, check out what happened before combat started... maybe there's an easier way for you to do this

"Your contract!"

Valrani pulls out the pages she had been threatening to rip up, and looks for one that might be a contract, and if so, what might send the imp back to hell.

profession(barrister): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

With her legal expertise Valrani immediately realizes the ledger has nothing even remotely resembling any kind of contract in it. But she also remembers Lirotha mentioned a page bearing some sort of illusion charm...

Pulling the book with the secret page spell on it out of her sash, Lirotha flashes it and puts it away again quickly.

"I have it Val. There is a page that is enchanted in this book. We cannot give it to him! It's secret could be invaluable to our cause! We need to stop the creature so he can't let out our secrets!"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 20 = 49

If I'm not mistaken Valrani had the book last
