GM Blood's Age of Worms in Golarion
Game Master David James Olsen

The female cleric tosses her crossbow aside and draws her flail and attacks Trevor but misses and then she steps back.

Flail 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The lead cleric barks an order at the tiefling in the front who then drops his bow and moves with to attack with his Greataxe

Attack Trevor #4 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The other two tieflings fire their bow and approach closer, the lead tiefling has a shot that hit Trevor solidly while the other arrow is off the mark.

Tiefling #5 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 20 *HIT*
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Tiefling #6 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The lead cleric casts a spell and a spectral flail appear and attacks Trevor, though it misses.

Force Flail 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Think I might actually still be up in Round 3...

Round 3

"Thanks Rauno. Not real sure what that stuff is, but I'm definitely feeling a lot better. Rowena, I'm going to go forward and help Trevor, but if you want to trade spots, let me know. Kelkzar steps forward behind Trevor, "Ragathiel, bring your blessings to this servant of your ally Sarenrae that he may continue to defeat these foul necromancers." Casts shield of faith on Trevor

Sorry Kelkzar both you and Rowena can go this round

With Kelkzar moving up, there's nothing Rowena can do, except pass Kelkzar her longspear.

Trevor keeps his resolve despite the pain in his shoulder: "Surrender now!!!" He presses his new opponent, looking for an opening.

PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 261d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 3 = 23

His axe flies true once more and slashes deeply in the acolyte's neck.

"Surrenderrr or Sufferrr!!!"

"Hang onto it Rowena, I'll step back so you can get at them in a moment. I think you're going to be more effective than me. Knock them down and Trevor can pound them."

Trevor, unless it is in conflict with something else you can add shield of faith to your effects. +2 deflection bonus to AC

Trevor lands another massive blow nearly killing the tiefling in one blow. The cultists seem impressed by his martial prowess, which means they are determined to kill him

Trevor, have you updated your status to include the 8HP you took from that last arrow?

He has not updated that yet

Round 3:

Quintus adds his support, repairing the arrow damage to the paladin, before retreating and trading places with Rowena if she wants to move up. "It looks like it opens up just ahead, if Trevor can just take down the next couple of them."

Casting cure light wounds on Trevor: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Looks like Kelkzar moved back. Quintus should be able to touch Trevor around the corner, so Rowena comes out of delay and steps into the space behind Trevor.

Trip attack on tiefling in front of Trevor.

Trip: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 4 = 23

That works.

Inevitable AoO against said tiefling:
1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8
Never mind.

Sorry Rowena he didn't move back, the map flipped out somehow. Sorry about the confusion

Per my last post, swap Rowena and Quintus on the current map, then.

Map updated, Rauno left to go

Ah! Ah! I first updated my profile, only to find out Quintus had healed me back! Thanks Quintus!

Rauno will ready the potion of Ghoul Touch, and then load it into the syringe.

This round will depend on Trevor's attack on the prone tiefling #4

The Human Male cleric casts a spell targeting Trevor. The shield of faith cast by Kelkzar fades away.

Caster Check DC 14 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Attacks on Trevor

Tiefling #4 stands up provoking from Trevor and will be dead if he is hit, otherwise....

Tiefling #4 Greatxe 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21 *Hit*
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

After the tiefling attacks he steps aside to the north allowing the other tielfing to attack [/ooc]If #4 dies Tiefling #5 will replace him[/ooc]

Tiefling #5 Greatxe 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25 *Hit*
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 +1 more damage from the female cleric if #4 is dead

The Female cleric uses her wand to heal the damaged tiefling #4 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2. If #4 dies from AoO, she will touch this tiefling adding 1 extra point of damage done to Trevor from tiefling #5

The last tiefling fires his bow at Trevor if he is still standing, dropping his bow and moving up or if Trevor falls, he moves up putting away his bow and drawing his axe

Tiefling #6 Longbow 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 11
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Oh no you don't!"

AoO: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 131d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 = 14

"Ok, may be you do... No wai-"

Trevor is cut down by the repeated vicious assaults of the tieflings.

0 hp, right?

Correct

Trevor takes two huge hits leaving him reeling. Everyone else is up!

Round 4

Spend 1 Hero Point to Get Judgement Back

Sensing the fading of the spell, Kelkzar groans, "Uh oh, that's never happened before." From around the corner, he hears the tieflings butchering Trevor. "Hang in there Trevor. We're going to do everything we can to keep you on your feet, but you'd better get you out of there so we can heal you. Let them whale on me for a little while." Ragathiel, grant me the strength to heal this man and the might to smite your enemies. Swift action to activate Judgement of Sacred Healing 2 Kelkzar steps past Quintus and reaches around the corner to put a hand on Trevor. Casts cure light wounds 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Trip attack on new tiefling, fighting defensively: 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 4 - 4 = 2
Ha!

"Trevor. Get out of there!"

At 0 hp, am I still standing? Able to take full action?

At 0 hp you are still standing and can do a move action and remain standing or a standard action and lose 1 hp. Kelkzar healed you so you are at 4 hps however.

Trevor retreats back, but stays near Quintus: "I need to go back. Now."

Trevor withdraws to Q11

Ro's AC is 3 higher from fighting defensively.

Noted

"Quintus, I need to get up to Rowena!" he calls out, gesturing with the syringe.

If Quintus moves back during his actions, Rauno will move up to take his place, saying "This injection will let you touch one of them and paralyze them, and perhaps sicken those nearby them. Let me know if you want me to inject it." Though this is directed at Rowena, Kelkzar is between them and would certainly hear.

Rauno will ready his standard action to inject the formula into Rowena or Kelkzar if they become adjacent to him and express the desire to take in the potion.

Rowena nods distractedly at Rauno, concentrating on fending off the Kuthonites' attacks.

Quintus is up, and he will have his action then I will resolve Rauno. Most likely this won't change the front line battle so I will keep that moving.

Attacks vs Rowena

Tiefling #5 steps up swinging his Great Axe, connecting solidly with his blow opening up a huge gash. The tieling int he back fires an arrow which narrowly misses because of her defensive pose.

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Arrow from Tielfing #6 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 18
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The female cleric uses the wand to heal the damaged tiefling again.

cure light wounds 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The lead cleric directs his force flail over to Rowena but it misses due to Rowena's defensive fighting.

Force Flail 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The pulls out a scroll and another appears but narrowliy misses due to her defensive pose.

Force Flail 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 *miss*
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Rowena pivots and kicks the tiefling in the chest, shoving him backwards, but continuing to fight defensively.

Bull rush: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 = 17

"I made room!" she calls back to Kelkzar.

Trevor will move back to the front if he gets healed.

Quintus swaps with Rauno before calling on Sarenrae's healing again.

Pulling aid to cast cure moderate wounds on Trevor: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 = 14

Boo yah!

I'm after Kelkzar, so I'll wait to see, but I'm ready to step in front :)

Rowena's kick pushes the tiefling back as Quintus heals most of the wicked axe cut Trevor took.

Kelkzar is up then Trevor and Lessien. By the way I did hear from Lessien's player on Friday and they confirmed they will be permanently gone from all pbps for the time being.

Lessien mixes up a potion for Trevor and tells him it is a cure light wounds potion in case he doesn't attack this round [ooc]1d8+3 when you take it[/dice[

I think Rauno is trying to get within touch range of Rowena, so I'll swap with him, but move back up as soon as feasible.

"Thanks!!!" Trevor slips past his colleagues and takes his place back at the tip of the assault: "I'm back for more you fiends!!!" With his momentum carrying his axe head, he aims for the tiefling's head.

Move to T12
PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 281d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 = 14

Which one are you aiming at, Trevor?

I am assuming the one in T13, but holding off updating until Trevor clarifies

Yes, T13.

Rauno still has an action, but pushing the combat to the next round

Trevor Gets attacked by the two tieflings in front with great axes, and an arrow from the other remaining tiefling. Despite their co-ordinated efforts, Trevor avoids taking a blow.

Attack Tiefling #4 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 5 Cover from the corner
Damage with Greataxe 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Attack Tiefling #5 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
Damage with Greataxe 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Attack Tiefling #6 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 5
Damage with Longbow1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The female cleric uses her wand again, this time healing the tiefling that was just hit by Trevor.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rowena is attacked by the two Force weapons, but once again her defensive posture protects her.

Force Flail 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Force Flail 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The head cleric casts a spell on himself

I think Rauno is trying to get within touch range of Rowena, so I'll swap with him, but move back up as soon as feasible.

If Kelkzar was able to do this, then I would use a move action to swap place and standard action to inject the Ghoul Touch potion into Rowena, duration 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 rounds.

Ghoul Touch spell description.

Defensive trip attack using long spear on tiefling:
1d20 + 9 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 4 - 4 = 7

Rowena barely gets the spear point out of Trevor's way, and it doesn't threaten the tiefling in the slightest.

I have some time to post, so I'll go ahead, even though it will take place after Kelkzar's.

"Press on friends! We'll soon have them back to the Pits of Hell, where they can argue their doom with the Tricksy Lawyer!" Trevor moves his right leg back and sends his axe flying towards the tiefling's hip.

PA:: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 201d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 3 = 13

If the tiefling falls, he'll follow through and step in the gap, threatening the lady with the wand: "I could use some healing too, fair lady!", and he winks at her.

The tiefling is heavily wounded, and almost about to fall, but it seems the minor healing the female cleric did last round is enough to keep him on his feet

Lessien uses her last spell/formula to make one more cure light wounds drink and gives to Kelkzar

Rauno, Kelkzar and Quintus is left in the round, no room to get anyone else up there. Lets finish this round!

Since the corridor is so tight, Rauno will just reccover his crossbow (he had to drop it when he loaded the syringe the first time) and step up behind Quintus.

Round 6

If I'm in S11, I will cast guidance on Rowena.

Quintus left to go!
