The caves shake with what feel like an earthquake but is something or somethings coming from the southern passage.

The ogre in the storeroom smashes into the little creatures flanking him.

Primary vs Pirknok (minus str): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 = 18
Damage: 2d8 + 22 - 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 22 - 3 = 23
Iterative vs Jess: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 2 = 17
Damage: 2d8 + 22 - 3 ⇒ (5, 7) + 22 - 3 = 31

The party is up.

Pirknok steps forward and slices viciously at the ogre's big belly, unconsciously feeling Jessamy's rhythm and choosing a moment when the ogre is distracted. His eyes widen slightly as he realizes that it's the perfect strike; Jess has timed her distraction perfectly, as if she could feel his rhythm as well.

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, Outflank): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 37
Confirm: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 34
Damage: 2d8 + 34 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 34 + 2 + 2 = 44

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, Outflank): 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 21

And if that doesn't kill it, it provokes from Jess.

Round 6: Actions
Standard Action: Ready Action: Throw a fireball at any incoming reinforcements from the south passage!

Siolad pales. "Er, I don't wish to alarm anyone, but I hear a lot of noise coming from the south!"

He points his finger at the south passage, one of his fireball incantations springing to mind, waiting for the right moment.
Fireball Damage (If Any Reinforcements Come Around): 10d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4) = 30

Extended Stoneskin is still up. DR 10/adamantine or until it absorbs 100 points of damage, whichever comes first.

And last round I said Siolad moves to AH-25.

Pirknok strikes the ogre twice, the second time driving his exotic blade deep into the brute’s belly but he refuses to fall.

Jess’s AoO is up along with her actual turn, Ventus, and Ensu.

Ensu comes to a stop and exclaims at the others, " Siolad said reinforcements coming."

He turns and retraces his steps.

Jessamy grins as the creature leaves itself open and whips her short sword from its sheath, driving it and the black athame home.

Flanking included for all attacks
+2 giant-bane dagger (+2 vs. giants) AoO: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 = 19

Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 1, 2) = 14

Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 5d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 3) = 13
Giant bane damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

You included the flanking bonus as +4, right?

Nope, just +2. So add +2 to each of those rolls, please.

Silly rogue.

You could edit your post silly rogue.

With deadly precision, Jessamy excises one too many of the ogre’s vital ogres and it crashes to the ground dead.

We’re still in combat.

Ventus is up.

Moving to AD25

Ventus rounds the corner and gets into position just in time to see a tide of ogres come barreling through the hall. Their collective roars quickly drown out all other sound.

Reflexes: 5d20 ⇒ (18, 11, 5, 18, 11) = 63

Siolad flings his fireball and it explodes with a muffled *whoosh*. Several are badly burned but none fall. The stink of burning ogre-flesh proves to be even more pungent than their standard musk.

The party is up.

Round 7: Actions
Standard Action: Throw an empowered fireball at the intersection of AD32 & AE33

"Four more ogres!" Siolad calls out, readying another spell.

Time to kick it up a notch.

He extends his palm again, this time calling forth a fireball with more power behind it than before. He aims it in the middle of the ogres crowding the passageway, so as not to catch Ventus or Beaks in the explosion.
Empowered Fireball Damage: Adding 3 per Damage Die: 10d6 + 30 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 4, 5, 5, 2, 6, 1, 1) + 30 = 66

Extended Stoneskin is still up. DR 10/adamantine until 100 points of physical damage are absorbed.

EDIT: Before I forget, DC 17 Reflex for half damage.

Is the +3 per die representing the empowered portion?

Yes. Quoth the PFSRD:

All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by half including bonuses to those dice rolls.

Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables.

So half of a d6 would be 3, unless I'm mistaken and I need to recalculate the damage.

It's not quite that powerful. You multiply the total result by 1.5. So it'd be 36 * 1.5 for a total of 54. This is important if you have static bonuses to damage like the ones granted by the evoker specialization or sorcerer bloodlines. Unfortunately there's no easy way to calculate that via the paizo diceroller.

It's a moot point because you'll kill them all either way. =P

Ensu applauds the wizard's display of power.

Does that mean combat's over?

Nope!

Hope Crusher.

Feel free to take your turn slacker.

I'll take it when I'm good and ready, Hope Crusher.

Pirknok grunts in appreciation as Jess downs the ogre. "You okay?" he asks, looking her wounds over quickly. He waits only long enough to hear her answer before nodding and hurrying back down the hallway and out toward the new threat. Double move to AG28.

Ah. Okay, Damage x 1.5 next time it is, then.

Siolad gasps for air as the ogres go up in a magnificent ball of fire. He didn't even realize he was holding his breath.

"I-I-I think there might be more coming."

Sioland's second fireball finishes what the first started, reducing the group of charging ogres to little more than ashes and charred husks. More can be heard thundering down the hallway.

Ensu, Jess, and Ventus are up.

"Ow," Jessamy whines. "I think I'll be OK."

She gives the ogre a quick search before rushing back to rejoin her companions, leaving a trail of blood.

Perception (+3 vs. traps): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Healer!

How much you down? It helps me decide what to use to heal you. If you can keep your stat line up to date or post you HP in a post, that helps me. I have a ton of different options.

Down 31; sorry will try to remember to keep my stat line up to date!

No worries, in order to not spoil the AP too much, I didn't really read the campaign thread so I am not sure how you all are used to handling healing, etc. Does Ventus or Beaks need some healing?

Dorfy does!

Dorfs only get 1 heal per combat

:(

Sad dorf is sad.

"Blood and offal, more're coming Beaks," Ventus said.

Full defense all around.

Five more ogres come charging around the corner. With blind fury they trample through their fallen comrades's ashen remains.

The party is up.

Pirknok steps forward and slices at the lead ogre's kneecap. Step to AF27. Haste 3/10.

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 36
Confirm: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 30
Damages: 2d8 + 34 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 34 + 2 + 2 = 46

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14

I am assuming that Jessamy is actually in the same room as the rest, since she said she moved last round.

Ensu reaches up and grabs his holy symbol and as he closes his eyes for a moment and mutters something under his breath you feel the same divine energy wash over you.

Channel, Ogre attacked by Pirknok deselected: 5d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 6, 6) + 1 = 19

Channel 2/5 for day

Hearing more noises from the other room, Jessamy races back, hoping to get into position to help.

Move to AB-28, if possible. If I remain where I was on the map, I can only get to AI-26 this round.

Round 8: Actions
Standard Action: Throw a fireball at the intersection of AD-32 & AE-33

With more ogres incoming, Siolad throws his last basic fireball for the day. He aims it between the two ogres in the back, making sure not to catch either Pirknok, Ventus or Beaks in the blast.

Fireball Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 1, 5, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5) = 31

DC 17 Reflex for half.

Pirknok cuts down his taller opponent with one mighty blow severing the ogre's leg. Ventus continues his defensive stance and waits for the rest of the ogres to advance. They do but not before suffering another ball of flame from the elven wizard.

4d20 ⇒ (17, 18, 4, 9) = 48

The scorched survivors press forward.

Vs Ventus: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 = 13

Vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17

Pirknok gets an AoO. If he hits he'll kill the first one in but the next in line will take his place.

The party is up.

AoO (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 21
Damages: 1d8 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 24

Does that do it?

Yeah. He's down.

Pirknok growls in anger and begins swinging his sword in a flurry of quick slashes, setting to work on the next ogre in line.

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 16 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 20

Attack (PA, giant-hate, prayer, haste): 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 21

Hit Points full accounted for

Claw 1: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 4 = 30

Claw 2: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 4 = 16
1d4 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 4 = 18

Whoops, sorry. Didn't realize I hadn't posted...

Jessamy steps up, putting the ogre between her and Pirknok, and proceeds to eviscerate it.

+1 mithril short sword (TWF, flanking with Pirknok): 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 4 = 30

Round 9: Actions
Standard Action: Hold Action

Seeing the rest of the party in the fray gives Siolad pause. He stops his spellcasting for now.

Let them mop up the mess. I'll need to conserve power for whoever's leading them.

Ensu moves behind the dwarfAH27, I think I can avoid all AOO by moving diagnonlly.

He then puts down a spell rune on the ground AG28

"Don't step back or to your left Pirknok"

Ventus and Jessamy make short work of the nearest of the ogres while Pirknok clips the next wounding it badly. The wounded ogre swings back with a vengeance while the one in the rear tosses a crude handaxe at the ranger.

Vs Ventus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Vs Pirknok: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 8) + 10 = 25

The party is up.

The handaxe thuds off Ventus's shield as he turns on the next ogre in line.

Impaler 1: 1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 3 = 29
1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11
