G.M.E.W's Rat's of Round Mountain (Inactive)

casting flurry of snowballs on the ratfolk to the NE of me.
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 5) = 17

No worries Bos I actually feel bad about always getting you with the ranged bane attacks.

As the flames from the wizard's fire ball wash over the crowd it seems to harm the innocent ratfolk than the party, leaving a few chard bodies and dozen of wounded.

Voros, trying to avoid injuring any bystanders, attempts to lace an achemically treated arrow past the guards at the white-haired ratfolk. Unfortunately the arrow seems to hit an invisible barrier surrounding the wizards sending it flying into the air where in explodes in an impressive, though non-damaging, ball of fire.

Bos, gravely wounded focuses his energies on healing himself and his wounds begin to stitch themselves back together. George downs his mutagen and his body starts to contort and reshape itself.

Most of the civilian ratfolk flee the area, except for those who were wounded from the fireball are are trying to help the survivor. this opens the attackers to effects that target a large area and Birgit immediately takes advantage of this by stepping back and launching and blizzard of snow at the closest guards.
DC 18 right?
Reflex 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Pass
Reflex 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Fail

The ratfolk who sommoned the darkness before curses and spits as she throws the rock she had cast the spell on to the ground. Gripping her spear with both hands she eyes Birgit evilly before lunging forward.

Wow good thing she didn't get her Bane right!

Ignatious fills the area around him healing Birgit and Bos, but also all of the injured ratfolk who continue to flee, freeing the area for the combatants.

I believe I am at -8 now.

Kynrac focuses healing energy in his hands, letting it wash all over his allies.

Casting mass cure light wounds to affect all allies.
Every ally heals: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

I believe I am at -8 now.

You took 16 from the Fireball, (14/30) and then 23 from the last attack (-9/30), then I healed for 18, (9/30). I believe that is where you are before Kynrac's Mass Cure, if he continues to do that. I am not sure if anyone else is really hurt so it might be better to hold off on that?

We've all been hit by the fireball, hence my choice for that spell. I stand by it.

Between the 2 heals I'm back up to full hp.

The Guards drop their crossbows and charge forward drawing rapiers. As the reach the party they bunch up and become a whirling mass of blades and teeth.
Not literally they are just sharing a square which lets them count as flanking.
Two move froward and attack the prone Witch
Attack 1: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 = 15

Damage 4: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + (1) + 3 = 6

The white-haired ratfolk doesn't like being shot at and focuses his magic on Voros. Chanting he points a clawed finger at Ignatious and squeaks, Grab that caster and restrain them; they've been charmed!

Varos Will +4, CMB +5

Save will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"What kind of command is tha... ow of course, I'll do it!"

Voros moves awkwardly towards Ignatious with the intention to grab him somehow.

Grab: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Haha yeah, wrong pick, ratman!

Choose +2 from BoF; Swift action - touch the armor for Crusading, AC 28; move to flank the black rat (w/ Birgit); drawing my +1 Shocking Admin. longsword and provoking as I go. Then Vital Strike w/ Power Attack.

Boswick touches his armor, it begins to glow brightly. He darts past the spear wielding ratfolk, attempting to dodge his attack to get himself into an advantageous attacking position. He looks to strike at a vital area of the foe.

Vital Strike w/ Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 17
damage: 2d8 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 6) + (3) + 8 = 19

Of course a stupid 3!

White hair ratfolk slumber hex.

George scowls as the ratfolk's weapon cuts him. He kicks the ratfolk in front of him and backflips out of the reach of the two vermin before throwing a burning vial at them.

Bomb-RTA: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18

Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + (1, 2) = 10

Voros rushes over to give Ignatious a big hug but the cleric does not seem to be in the mood.

Bos attempts to gain a tactical advantage but only get a spear in the leg for his troubles.

George launches a bomb at his attackers engulfing both in a ball of fire. His main target is badely wounded while the second ratfolk seems to only have suffered minor burns.

Birgit fires off another hex, this time at the wizard who immediately yawns and lays down on the ground for a nap.

The Female ratfolk steps out of the flank and targets Bos with her attacks, excited that her bane seems to work against him.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 26

Stepping back and drawing my shield, I'll offer a small prayer up, causing a ghostly church bell to drop from the sky, landing hard and shattering on the ground before vanishing, but sending piercing vibrations at the pair of ratfolk near Brigit and Kyrnac.

Sound Burst

Sonic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Kynrac takes a step aside to dodge the two mating ratfolks and addresses a prayer to Irori.

Sovereign master of self-control, grant us your clarity and prowess in battle!

Casting prayer: We all gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of our foes takes a –1 penalty on such rolls (unless they have SR, but there's no save).

Fort 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Fort 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

As the bell crashes around them the two guards stand still, their eyes glazed and mouths open as their weapons clatter to the ground.

The other two ratfolk guards move forward in unison striking at George.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 11 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 1 + 2 = 32

Lay on Hands as a swift action.

LOH: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5) = 14

Spinning his longsword in his hand for a slightly better grip. Boswick lashes out with 3 quick blows against the ratfolk servant.

Full round attack. Choose extra attack from BoF.

attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25

Let me reiterate. . . "Crap!!!!"

Why would I get sleep after cursing her to a deep slumber

if not successful ray of frost
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d3 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6

Oh it was a greater command?

Voros continues to try and hug the cleric who doesn't seem really in the mood.

Grab: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

George does the same, moving 5' from the rats and bombing them once more.

Bomb: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Damage: 4d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) + 6 = 27Splash 10 with DC Reflex 20

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Birgit,
I'm confused. Why are you make a save vs. Illusion? You said you did a slumber hex on the white haired wizard, he failed and went to sleep. Did I miss something? Who are you shooting with the ray of frost? Also are you taking a 5ft step or casting defensively?
@ Voros,
Suggestion actually.

As Varos continues to try and grapple Ignatious Bos is able to land a solid blow against female ratfolk. While the blade should have cut deep it seems to hit a layer of magical energy that took away all of the blade's force. (temp hit points)

George continues to bomb the guards attacking him knocking one out with the explosion and leaving the other badly burnt .

The spear wielding female ratfolk continues to assult Bos, hoping to land another bane fueled blow.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 3 = 18

So the one that's sleeping is the white rat at the back? If not, feel free to apply what comes next to him instead.

Kynrac takes a step back and aims three fiery rays at the ratfolk guards to the south. Focusing the rays on the most wounded one, then when/if he falls reallocate the remaining ray(s) to the other one.

Scorching Ray (RTA), BoF, Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 164d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 6) = 14

sorry I miss read it, nevermind.

yes step back and ray of frost.

@ Kynrac
The one to the south is the white-haired wizard who is now asleep. George already took out one of the Guards to the south. There are two stunned ratfolk to the north. Three scorching rays against the one to the south might be a little over kill. I'm going to assume you change targets to the ones to the north.
@ Birgit,
I moved you back towards Kynrac and I'll assume you'll go after the most injured guard to the north.

After a quick blast of frost from the Witch, Kynrac is able to take out lone guard to the south and the two stunned guards with a flurry of scorching rays.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I'll start by killing the southern guard, then redirects the remaining ray(s) to the northern guards.

Taking the +2's from BoF

I'll charge to flank with Bos, and attempt to knock out the "servant" ratfolk, drawing my blade as I move, almost gliding, and at the last moment reverse it in my hands, hitting with the flat of the blade.

Non-Lethal Charge: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Round 5
Birgit: 23

Boswick sees that one of the ratfolk is in a deep slumber and can be questioned. Filled with a righteous fury he shows the servant no quarter.

BoF = extra attack

attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 + 2 = 23
damage 1: 1d8 + 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (4) + 4 + 1 = 11

damage extra: 1d8 + 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + (5) + 4 + 1 = 17

Voros follows the cleric and begins to try and grapple him again.

Grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

targetting another ratfolk with slumber hex.

George draws his wand of Cure Light Wounds and heals himself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Sorry no post today, busy day at work.

@ Birgit,
You already targeted the only target with a sleep hex. To keep thing rolling I'll assume you use an evil eye (attack rolls) hex instead.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Bos lands three massive blows agianst the lone ratfolk, ripping through her remaining magical buffer and leaving deep cuts on her arm, leg, and shoulder. While still standing the three hits in combination with Birgit's hex cause the Servent of Lao Shu Po to start to panic. She quickly steps out of the flank and stabs at Bos. As she attacks you can see her he wounds start to stitch themselves back together.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + (6, 1) = 15

fine with me.

targetting with ray of frost
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d3 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

Grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

A new romance is starting between the two outsiders, though it seems one sided.

Seeing the creature healing with no effort Boswick steals his resolve.

What is this devilry, Iomedae!

Endeavoring to determine if the followers of the Empresses are indeed evil as they appear, he calls on Iomedae to reveal the ratfolk's alignment.

Detect Evil as a move

BoF = +2s

Attack w/ Vital Strike. Non-lethal if the servant is not evil

attack vital strike: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 + 2 = 16
damage: 2d8 + 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + (3) + 4 + 1 = 12

Yet another 1...oh my, looks like Boswick needs a nap!

Kynrac steps aside and aims three more rays at the ratfolk Bos is currently fighting.

Scorching ray (RTA), firing into melee: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 4 = 284d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 3) = 14

Scorching ray (RTA), firing into melee: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 4 = 184d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 4) = 19

Scorching ray (RTA), firing into melee: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 13 - 4 = 104d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 1) = 15

She is evil!

The nimble ratfolk dodge Bos's clumsy swing as well as Birgit's frost and one of Kynrac's rays of fire. A second ray is deflected my some magic force surrounding the woman but the third strikes true leaving a blackened patch of burnt hair and flesh on the creature's back.

Bold is up:
Ignatious: 15
George

Servant: Cursed, 49hp
Shenru : Asleep
Voros: Must try and grapple Ignatious

Taking the free metmagic option, (and possibly 2 AoO's), I'll cast an Extended Bull's Strength and move.

Finals coming up + bar exam prep + other stuff makes for a busy weekend. My apologies.

George will move to the sleeping rat and draw rope, intending to anchor him to the ground. "I shall secure the prisoner." George states.

Why 2 AoOs?

The female ratfolk lashes out at Ignatious as he moves away from combat.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

She then turns her attention back to Bos. Her wounds continue to heal on their own as she stabs wildly at the Paladin.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 18

Paty is up!
Servant: Cursed, 45hp
Shenru : Asleep
Voros: Must try and grapple Ignatious

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Possibly 2 from Voros. I'm casting near Voros and also moving more than a 5ft step away. Assuming I can still act, and on my turn. . .

I'll rush at the ratwoman, stowing my quickdraw shield. Suddenly, his eyes go completely silver, shooting small beams of holy light out before him, and his blade catches fire. Ignatious's expression is blank, like he is unaware of anything around him, but suddenly launches himself at the enemy.

Charge, Flank, BoF, Bull's Str, Nonlethal Scimitar: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
DM Star Reroll <THREAT>: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Non-Lethal: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Extra Crit Non-Lethal Damage (that might kill her anyway +2 Fire): 1d6 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 = 18

Non-Crit Damage = 16.
Crit Damage Total = 34 (2 of which is Fire).

Extra Crit Non-Lethal Damage (that might kill her anyway)

Someone seems to think very highly of themselves. Kill her indead! I'll have you know she is still standing and has exactly 1hp left :P

Great. I was just meaning that you can actually kill with Non-Lethal Damage if it is too much. But, Ignatious has been sufficiently rebuked, and and now holds his head in celestial shame for his failures. ha ha. That is, unless someone else can do 11 damage before his action.

BoF = +2s

Noticing that Ignatious wants to take this one alive. Boswick attempts to drop the injured foe with his shield.

Shield Bash 1, nonlethal: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 26
damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Shield Bash 2, nonlethal: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

His strength enhanced with magic Ignatious charges forward, catching the Ratfolk Inquisitor unprepared. Attacking with the dull edge of his sword he brings the scimitar down hard onto the creature's collar bone causing her to shriek as the sounds of bones braking echo around the chamber.
The ratfolk stumbles forward, right into Bos. He quickly smashes the severely wounded woman in the face with his shield, sending her crashing to the floor.

Combat over!
You now have 2 prisoners.

George ties up the sleeping ratfolk and divests him/her of any weapons, spellbooks or spell component pouches. Once he/she is tied up, he will rouse her and lead her to the rest of the group on a leash.

"Prisoner secured."

Voros finally gets hold of himself but seems rather confused.

"What... What happened? Is it over already?"
