1. GM Edwin's Zeitgeist Campaign

Game Master Insnare

total defense then. can't do anything without an AoO

His plan foiled by the darkness, Falko switches, stepping back from where the door was, hoping to be free of attackers, before turning his surviving odds somewhat in his favour.

5-foot step back from the door, to avoid an AOO, then cast Vanish.

He shouts to his colleagues: "Let's get out of here when the walls disappear, shall we?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Angus, Asher

Angus power attacks the enemy near him 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 1 + 3 = 29

hit 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 10 slicing the enemy deep.

Asher moves in to Attack the maw: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d12 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 14 still doing some decent damage

Morgrym and Asher can hear and see Delft fire two shots at the implanters bringing them down. “I see you doppelgangers! You won’t steal
my brain.”

Round 3
Order: Stalker, Morgrym, Slayer, Pistoleros, John, Creepers, Asher, Falko, Cretien, Angus

Everything is now translucent and you can all see Sijhen/Xambria yelling at Saxby but you are not close enough to hear.

The stalker full attacks Cretien with his short swords 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 miss
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 miss

Morgrym

Morgrym does another mental attack against the worm maw. He then looks to Saxby and prepares to move toward his office going thirty feet the fastet way toward it.

mental attack to make solid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

I thought you were helping Delft. And in round 3 three you don't need to do a mental attack because it and you have the thoughtform trait which means you are all the same. Saxby is a woman by the way.

As you wish,
Worm Maw initiative 1d20 ⇒ 11

The slayer tries to hit Cretien 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 touch, miss

The pistoleros reload their weapons.

John, Creepers, Asher, Maw, Falko, Cretien, Angus

Next: John

Johnathan and his newly recruited RHC helper make their way towards Delft (assuming no one else is helping him).

Both you and your helper can make an attack on the worm maw

RHC Helper
Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d8 ⇒ 2

Johnathan
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) + 3 = 10

Johnathan blasts the maw with his missiles doing full damage.

The helper misses.

Creeper 1 takes a 5ft step and attacks Angus, flanking 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17 miss

Creeper 1 attacks Angus, flanking 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 miss

Asher

confusing but understood, Morgrym will take a full run to Saxsby then tp help her out

Morgrym runs into Saxby's office.

Asher

I'll take both of these down so don't mind me. Cretien you ok ? he says to his friends

"Alive so far"

Morgrym

Asher attacks the Maw 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 20 hit Damage:1d12 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 21 killing the beast.

Falko, Cretien, Angus

F+~%! I keep checking right after my action is already declared. Ah well, keep botting me if my timing is slowing things down.

Falko, now invisible, reaches upward. He has been waiting for this moment to take off, mimicking the movement he saw Meredith do just a few seconds ago, he moves through walls, aiming for Saxby's office.

I now have a speed of 60 and am invisible for three more rounds after this one. If I can make it to Saxby with a single move, I'll cast Mirror Image before moving.

Cretien will ignore gravity, leap upwards, then ignore the floors above him until he gets to area 12 next to the RHC member. Then he will cease ignoring boundaries and gravity to land there.

"Draw them upstairs, out of the darkness. They've too great of an advantage."

not sure if that is one or two move actions, but he will draw his grenade launcher along the way. If he has a move action to spare, he will open the door there.

Angus will follow cretien doing the same thing

Aoo on Cretien from Stalker 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 hit 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Poison Fort DC 15 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 pass

Aoo on Cretien from Slayer 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 hit 1d4 ⇒ 3
Poison DC15 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 pass

Aoo on Angus, flanking 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12 miss

Aoo on Angus, flanking 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 miss

Falko phases up to Saxby's office but he is invisible.

Cretien phases up to the second floor room 12

Angus, his base speed being only 20 ends up on the first floor.

Round 4 Translucent You can see through terrain.

Initiative: Saxby 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22, Sijhen 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Order: Saxby, Stalker, Morgrym, Slayer, Pistoleros, John, Sijen, Creepers, Asher, Falko, Cretien, Angus

Saxby says, "Sijhen, you make it sound like you are so special, then how is it plausible that one of my constables just did what you did?" as she draws her Longsword and her dagger, delay.

I removed the darkness downstairs so I can count the squares

Slayer double moves to the first floor.

Morgrym

Morgrym will step to flank the thing and attack

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

fist in face: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

flank: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Well, you can't flank, but doesn't matter anyway.

Morgrym's punch misses the mark.

Slayer and Pistoleros double move.

John

If you can give me a diplomacy check and some dialogue you can get Delft to help

Help with... defending the RHC?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Delft! That thing is loose!"

RHC Helper
Pistol: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Johnathan
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 3) + 3 = 8

Delft says, "Are you real? They are trying to eat my brain!!!!!"
John or Asher you can also try a HEAL check to get him into the fight
Meanwhile, Sijhen splits from Xambria and they both attack Morgrym
Xambria attacks Morgrym with her Pick, flanking 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 miss

Sijhen full attacks him with its claws 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12 miss
Claws 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12 miss

Creepers double move

Asher, Falko, Angus, Cretien

Falko remains invisible for now, taking advantage of the commotion to add a layer between heaven and here.

Cast Mirror Image: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He then moves behind Siljhen, hoping to flank the flanker next.

Morgrym, Falko is invisible, so you do not know you are flanking. wouldn't get the bonus.

Saxby says, "Morgrym, Why all in the sake of Miller are you not using a weapon?"

Saxby attacks the blue monster of Sijhen 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 with her longsword miss.

Asher, Angus, Cretien

Asher moves into the room with delft, firing at the ear worm there.

attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 25
dice: 1d12 + 5 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 4 = 16

Cretien opens the door and moves down the hall next to Jonathan.

since opening the door is probably a move action that will be my turn. if not, I will ready a ranged attack on the first enemy in sight.

Angus moves to attack the slayer 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 miss

The combination of Asher and Johnathan's attacks kills the earworm.

Morgrym You cannot flank with Falko because you cannot see him.

John

"Delft are you okay? The HQ is under attack!"
Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

If there isn't anything immediately attacking Delft, Johnathan will try to find the others at Saxby's office.

Johnathan and his follower move towards Delft to see if they can help him.

Follower 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Sijhen/Xambria takes a 5ft step to attack Morgrym 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 miss

we changed out of phase then back to normal so I neeses a mental attack... damn it this combat is confusing

Morgrym, the post before yours tells you the status, you are first in initiative order when the round changes. I wrote Round 5 !Normal! This is the epic conclusion from Adventure 3... epic needs to be epic...
Asher, Falko, Angus

Feels epic to me!!

Falko remains where he is, wondering how the heck this otherwordly creature can just slip out of Xambria, while seemingly remaining in control of the doctor.

Seeing Morgrym falter, he resists the urge to step in the fight just yet. He had a card he wished to play first. Raising his arms, he starts a long incantation, his voice rising from nowhere.

Casting Sleep (one round casting time) on Xambria, Will DC 14.

DM if you are referring to the "cursed" shield, it is indeed exactly where angus left it.... At the gala. I'll go buy a new one when possible :)

Angus will Retaliate against the Slayer holding his weapon in two hands

Current AC 22

I can see those guys in the stairwell near Cretien, right? If so, then...

Asher looks to Delft, seeing the fear on the man's face, and speaks to Johnathan. "We can protect him, but he's no position to fight or to lead. Look at him."

He speaks while reloading, tearing a packet with his teeth and quickly reading his weapon. Then he fires upon the enemy nearest Constable Dufrene.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d12 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 21

Asher's eyes go wide when his discharging weapon fails to fire properly.

Asher tries to fire his weapon but it misfires.

John

"Stay and help Delft!" Johnathan tells the RHC helper, before running off.
