GM Bold Strider's Rise of the Runelords - Flaxseed Lodge (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

Jim prepares himself as both glaives arc through the tiny cage, slicing deep into Jim as he has nowhere to go.

Glaive @ Jim-23 AC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Glaive @ Jim-23 AC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Damage: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14

Jim is severely wounded by the attacks and likely will not withstand another assault like that as Nualia laughs, blood flecked across her immaculate face.

She grabs the medallion hanging from her neck as black magic erupts from the center and infuses her wounds before holding it before her and sending a blast of negative energy down the hallways.

1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Channel Energy-DC 15 to halve: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9 @Everyone except Elena.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim @ 13/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +7
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Ah ok. I thought it was in between Jim and Nualia for some reason.

@Jace: There is a portcullis on each side of Jim, trapping him between the statues.

Jace moves up and places a hand on Jim's shoulder through the porticullis. Sweat drips down his brow as the force of negative energy slams into him.

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

I will hold her off as long as I can, but you need to finish this quickly....

CLW: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 12

Blessed Touch- +1 to any heal
Student of Faith- +1 Caster level on cure spells

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Glaucus starts a summoning spell to bring some more wolves to distract Nualia....

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Yeah alright
Jim drops his dagger and swings hard with his sword at one of the statues.
Sword 2H PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22, Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Yeah alright

Jace moves up to heal Jim and Jim tries to sunder the statue's glaive, but his attack barely scratches the surface of the marble weapon. 1 HP of Damage to the Glaive.

Glaucus retreats and begins to summon his pack.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim @ 16/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +7
3rd: Glaucus @ 23/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 25/29 HP

Broon yanks the bow back and fires two arrow at Nualia.

Gravity bow,PB,Rapid,Smite: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 20 >>2d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 + 3 = 11

Due to the cramped quarters, the portcullises and Jim and Jace in the way, Broon's arrows bounce harmlessly against the walls lest he chance injuring his friends.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim @ 16/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +7
3rd: Glaucus @ 23/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 25/29 HP

missed or without precise shot?

If Elena can still see the evil cleric, she will magic missile her yet again.

Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

"I can do this all day! I've got your mage's wand! Let Jim out or else we will have to pick you apart!"

Elena blasts Nualia with force magic once more as she laughs. "Cute how you think you stand a chance. I'd say goodbye to your friend before he's gone."

Broon's Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The glaives descend once more slashing at Jim faster than before, catching him in their way.

Glaive @ Jim-17 AC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Glaive @ Jim-17 AC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Damage: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (10, 7) + 8 = 25

Jim collapses to the floor, bleeding out, as suddenly the floor tiles drop, letting his body fall into an underground pit, which promptly slams shut above his dying body.

The portcullises raise up into the ceiling as the glaive guardians return to stand guard. An audible click is heard as some gears in the walls seem to reset.

"Oops. I guess it is too late." she mocks Elena as she blasts the party with more negative energy from relative safety. She steps to the side to avoid any more blasts from Elena.

Channel Negative Energy - DC 15 to halve: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 Elena, Broon, Jace.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 22/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -9/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +1
3rd: Glaucus @ 23/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 25/29 HP

Glaucus finishes calling his pack! A wolf appears next to Nualia to distract her for a while.

bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
trip: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Glaucus starts calling another wolf while asking, "So can anyone get us past that trap?"

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Jace cringes as he feels the powerful negative energy slam into him.

Pulling forth his own medallion he holds it high into the air. I will not let you do this Nualia...

A blast of positive energy meets Nualia's dark power. Power crackles in the air as the confused Jace heals the wounds of the so called intruders now.

You will have to leap over the trap or draw her into this room. Get around the corners. Jace says pointing as he steps back.

Channel Positive Energy: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 1 = 9 13 HP for Jace

Oracle Channel positive Energy
Blessed Touch- +1 to any heal
Fey Foundling- caster receives +2 hp for each dice rolled

Having a worried look at the pit.... Do you think he is alright?

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 9 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 9 = -6

Is the pit shallow enough that the positive energy would still get to Jim?

The wolf snaps at Nualia keeping her busy, but unlikely to do any real damage to the ferocious warrior.

Jim continues to bleed out in the darkness below the floor as Jace heals the rest of the party.

Need Will Saves from Elena and Broon.

@Elena: Jim is currently trapped in a small chamber under the floor of the trapped section. Channel Energy is a burst effect, thus can't reach him due to no Line of Sight.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -10/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +1
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Will 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Elena should be full HP after Jace's Channel, even after muffing the save roll.

Seeing Nualia ducking and covering, Elena laughs and attempts to lure her out. "You seem scared. Someone evil like you, should come face us and show us the power of your dark master, or something."

Ready action to Magic Missile her when she reappears, this time with the wand. Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Didn't use a standard/move yet.

Glaucus moves out in to the middle of the room and shouts, "Look out! Clear the way!"

Look out! I'm going to jump the plate/pit....

@Glaucus: I thought you were starting another Summon based on "Glaucus starts calling another wolf...", but if you want to change your action, that's fine.

Broon steps out of the way for Glaucus, as does Jace while Broon readies an arrow if Nualia shows her face.

On you Glaucus.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -10/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +1
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Sorry. I thought about summoning another wolf but I'm out of 2nd level spells so I edited it to say "action pending" but I guess it didn't save.

With a running start from the middle of the room, Glaucus tries to leap over the plate to get at Nualia.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Glaucus looks around for some way to deactivate the trap from his end, but doesn't see any levers or such this close to it.

Elena tries to weave a spell as she attacks the wolf, but she seems caught off guard by Glaucus leaping over the trap.

Defensive Spellcasting - DC 15: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 4 = 14

Bastard Sword @ Wolf-14 AC | Spell Combat: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 2 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

The blade cuts through the wolf with ease as it poofs from existence, however Nualia does not step forward as she waits for Glaucus to come to her.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -10/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +1
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

DM, in our post, I think you mixed Nualia and Elena's names. Did Nualia poke her head out so the magic missile landed?

I did put Elena when I meant Nualia. However, she did not step out. She stayed where she was and killed the wolf.

Thats what I thought.

Elena starts bolstering her friends, using her Bardic abilities to inspire them on, knowing this cleric looked to be the most dangerous thing she had ever faced before.

+1 to Attack and Damage rolls.

Don't forget you all also have Bless active

Did the pit seem deep or if I were to say activate the trap be able to reach and heal Jim?

If you try to activate the trap with your own body weight, then you will need to make a Reflex save to avoid getting caught.

I was thinking of dropping my silver Morningstar on the trap but wasn't sure if Jace felt he would effectively be able to reach Jim to apply a heal or if it was impossible to reach him.

You think you could reach him with a Channel if your silver morningstar weighs enough to trigger the trap which Jim told you was a pressure plate. Also, you know it will trap Glaucus with Nualia for at least 3 rounds.

Good grief was everyone off work yesterday? lol

Broon drops the bow and heads towards the melee drawing the greatsword, "Glaucus - I'm coming!".

5' jump with running start: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

greatsword, smite evil: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 >>damage: 2d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 + 3 = 12

I think I have enough actions for all that, drop bow free, move 15' w/ draw sword, jump 5', 10' move through Glaucus, one attack?

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 10 = -1

Do any of you have a healing potion on you? Jace call frantically.

Going to attempt to set the trap and pour it on his face/mouth

Broon leaps the gap as Jim continues to float in pool of his own blood. Broon's sword swings at the woman, but she easily bats it away.

"Come to face death, huh?" she smirks as the man leaps the gap and rounds the corner.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -11/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ +1
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Don't know if this is possible around the hard corner or if Broon could 5' step back and let me step in:

Glaucus kicks at Nualia!

flurry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

flurry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

He can't 5' step this round as he already moved, but you can hit around the hard corner, but she gets cover bonuses.

Glaucus misses his first strike as the edge of the wall gets in his way, but he gets lucky on his second punch and slams into her protective shielding, shattering the magicks protecting her and slightly damaging her.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 31/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -11/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ 6
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Seeing the group get out of his reach Jace follows them over the trap. As he begins to leap he draws his silver Morningstar and as he lands and crosses the threshold of the trap he drops it on the pressure plate mechanism in a hope to activate the trap.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Delay standard action. If he gets handed a cure potion he will pour it on Jim.

**Edit** I now see there is no room to leap the trap so Jace will delay and save the roll for once there is room. Instead he will move up to the trap and still drop the weapon on the pressure plate.

Im pretty sure Elena at least is out of cure potions, unfortunately. It's been a slog in here and we've been beaten up but good.

Broon will move for anyone attacking

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Jace: Also, you can't just pour a Cure potion on someone and have it work. You would need to be adjacent and administer the potion as a full round action, per the Potion rules "A character can carefully administer a potion to an unconscious creature as a full-round action, trickling the liquid down the creature's throat."

Jace moves up to the edge of the trap and tosses his morningstar onto the floor a few feet in front of him.

The two portcullises slam down into the ground, putting Elena and Jace on one side and Glaucus and Broon on the other. The statues begin to animate as they did before with small bits of granite flaking off as the stone grinds against each other.

"So your friends trapped you in with me? Not very smart..." Nualia chuckles to herself as she casts weaves a spell defensively.

Combat Casting: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 4 = 14

Broon formidable presence, even without his holy powers, causes her to lose her concentration, however, as she tries to lash out with her claw at the man.

Claw @ Broon: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 = 8

Broon's magical aids help deflect the blow as her hands glows with a dark writhing magic.

Bastard Sword @ Broon | Divine Favor/Spell Combat: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 30

Broon is too focused on the claw to notice the giant sweeping arc of her bastard sword as it catches him across the chest, cutting deep into his side.

Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 17/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -11/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ 6
3rd: Glaucus @ 27/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

"Let me in there, Broon!" After Broon takes his swing and steps back, Glaucus moves over and take another swing at Nualia.

flurry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

flurry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Remember your inspire bonuses, guys.

Elena keeps her readied action, preparing to blast the cleric, if she shows any part of herself to Elena.

Readied Magic Missile 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

"Switch!", Broon leaps to the side, taking a corner attack.

greatsword, smite evil,inspire: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 26 >>2d6 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 17

5' step, Can Broon check if door behind will open with a Move action? Not necessarily opening it.

Jace steadies his shaking hand ready to channel more healing power when the floor opens once again to see if Jim is still alive.

You are cut off from the rest of us. Hold her off long enough until I can reach you!

Ready Channel Positive Energy: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 1 = 9

Oracle Channel positive Energy
Selective Channel 4 targets
Blessed Touch- +1 to any heal
Fey Foundling- caster receives +2 hp for each dice rolled

The door looks like it might open.

Stabilize-Jim: 1d20 + 2 - 11 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 11 = -3

Jim continues to bleed out under the floor as Broon and Glaucus both put some hurt on the woman as Elena readies an attack that will never go off in the current circumstances.

Jace readies a channel energy, but it too fails to activate as the two statues whip their glaives through the air at a target that doesn't exist.

Nualia laughs as you finally begin to chip away at her defenses. "Is this the best you can do?!" she mocks.

Combat Casting: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 = 27

She finally activates her spell and you can see it infused across the length of her bastard sword as the dark purple energy seems to crackle.

She pivots and lashes out at the target in front of her, Glaucus.

Spellstrike @ Glaucus-17 AC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 22
Spellstrike @ Glaucus-17 AC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 29

Damage: 2d10 + 10 + 2 + 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3) + 10 + 2 + (2) + 5 = 25 Will Save; DC 15 to halve the Inflict damage. (+4 HP)

The quick two blows to Glaucus' body nearly strips him of his life as the energy blast quickly consumes his flesh, leaving seared skin and meat along its path.

She steps back into the hallway a step

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 17/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -11/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ 26
3rd: Glaucus @ 2 (6)/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Glaucus snarls and blood flies from his nose and mouth as the wound Nualia leaves behind takes its toll on the wolfman. "Get in there, Broon. I'm right behind ya."

He casts a spell on himself, hoping he doesn't fall unconscious too quickly.

clw: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

So I think that puts me at 10 hp.

Elena decides she has to suck it up and go face Nualia with the others. While continuing with her inspiring words, she moves forward and tries to jump the nasty pit that had swallowed Jim whole.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Well, I might be opening the trapdoor if nothing else with that crappy roll. Maybe you can heal me too after the blades cleave me in twain, Jace, lol!

Elena moves to leap over the pit as she slams into one of the fallen portcullises, much to the amazement of everyone in the party, save Jim, who can see her as Glaucus heals himself.

Initiative:
1st: Broon @ 17/31 HP; Jim-Bleeding Out @ -11/31 HP;
2nd: Nualia @ 26
3rd: Glaucus @ 10/27 HP; Elena @ 21/21; Jace @ 29/29 HP

You can redo your actions, btw. Jumping into a portcullis is something that your character probably wouldn't do.

Lol, I missed that the porticulus was down on both sides. Let me think about my action. I will continue to inspire however.

Glaucus- if you can move back into the hallway so my channel can heal you.
