GM Endless Forms' Shattered Star (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Karn moves east and attacks the mammoth with his hammer.

Pwer Attack, GH: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 25
Vital Strike: 2d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10, 4) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 37

Karn hits the mastodon, which rears up and attacks back!

gore: 1d20 + 21 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 21 - 3 = 35
damage: 2d8 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 + 6 = 26

slam: 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 - 3 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 + 6 = 27

slam: 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 20 - 3 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 + 6 = 22

The giant mounted atop that mastodon then jabs at Karn with his lance!

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (1, 4) + 13 + 9 = 27

mwk lance: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 3 + 1 = 16
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (5, 1) + 13 + 9 = 28

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (6, 6) + 13 + 9 = 34

The puking giant finally pulls himself together.

On the other side of the gate, Argust has his own personal battle with the giant and mastodon duo!

gore: 1d20 + 21 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 21 - 3 = 24
damage: 2d8 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3) + 12 + 6 = 28

slam: 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 - 3 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 12 + 6 = 22

slam: 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 20 - 3 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 12 + 6 = 26

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (6, 1) + 13 + 9 = 29

mwk lance: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 3 + 1 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (4, 6) + 13 + 9 = 32

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 28
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3) + 13 + 9 = 31

You guys are up!

Karn grins and wipes the blood from his nose as he swings again at the mastodon, looking to fell the beast like a tree!

Power Attack, BoF: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 30

Iterative: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 3 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 35

Argust seems particularly elusive to his enemies as he avoids their assault! He then continues with his own! We'll drop haste again, can't use it all in one fight.

Kill the giant!: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (13) + 27 = 40 for Damage: 2d6 + 34 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 34 + (3, 6) = 50
Kill the giant!: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25 for Damage: 2d6 + 37 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 37 + (4, 6) = 59
Kill the giant!: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 for Damage: 2d6 + 37 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 37 + (4, 2) = 50

Waiting to see the results of Karn's attack and Brelar's spell, since they act before Bert.

@Brelar: works for me. It's a sphere so you can cast it in the space above you.

Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Karn's blows take down the nearby mastodon! The ground shakes as it collapses but the giant is a skilled rider and leaps from his fallen mount to land on his feet! Suddenly and unexpectedly a fireball issues from the top of the pit and burns the two giants! Argust lands one solid blow against the giant on the other side but the giant dodges his other swings.

Bert is up!

Bert gulps and sends a couple more arrows at the giant across the pit, thrown off by nerves.

DA arrow to G3, incl. lingering luck, PBS, and good hope: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 25
Iterative DA arrow to G3, incl. lingering luck, PBS, and good hope: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 17

Arrow #1 damage, if applicable, incl. lingering luck, PBS, good hope, and arcane strike: 1d6 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 19

Bert's aim is off!

One of the giants carefully moves around the pit to get near Bert. The other stabs at Karn!

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 16
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6) + 13 + 9 = 29

mwk lance: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 3 + 1 = 12

damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (3, 4) + 13 + 9 = 29

Meanwhile, Argust continues his bout with the the mastodon-mounted giant on the other side:

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 29
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (4, 1) + 13 + 9 = 27

mwk lance: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 3 + 1 = 27

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 19

Argust takes 46, Karn 5

Attack the giant!: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (6) + 27 = 33 for Damage: 2d6 + 34 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 34 + (2, 6) = 51
Attack the giant!: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 for Damage: 2d6 + 37 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 37 + (5, 5) = 57
Attack the giant!: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34 for Damage: 2d6 + 37 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 37 + (2, 5) = 46

Confirm on 3rd?: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 4 = 33 for Damage: 2d6 + 34 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 34 + (3, 2) = 50

Brelar tosses up another fireball!

Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 4, 4, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1) = 23 DC 23 Ref for half, excluding Karn and Bert.

Which of those first three attacks was against Bert?

I don't think any of them were, Bert. I read it that at first too. I think one giant moved toward you, while the other made three attack vs Karn.

84 - 34 = 50

Feeling himself wounded, Karn takes a step backward and heals himself.

CSW: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 11 = 25

@Bert: none. The giant had to double move around the pit to reach you.

Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Argust finishes off the giant and then with two more hits takes down the mastodon as well! Brelar burns the last two giants some more as Karn takes a moment to heal his wounds!

Bert is up!

Bert draws sword and shield and steps up towards the giant, blade glancing off of the creature's massive armor I think.

Rapier to G3, incl. good hope and lingering luck: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 + 3 = 24

Indeed Bert has trouble stabbing through the tough skin of the giant. it fights back, swinging a massive club down at the halfling!

mwk greatclub power attack: 1d20 + 18 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 18 - 3 = 35
damage: 2d8 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (5, 3) + 13 + 9 = 30

mwk greatclub power attack: 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 13 - 3 = 22
damage: 2d8 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 13 + 9 = 31

Confirm:
mwk greatclub power attack: 1d20 + 18 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 18 - 3 = 22
damage: 2d8 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (7, 6) + 13 + 9 = 35

The other steps closer and keeps stabbing at Karn!

mwk lance: 1d20 + 17 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 3 + 1 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 13 + 9 = 31

Karn curses as the giant strikes him again, then swings twice at the offender.

Power, BoF: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 38
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 34

Iterative: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 3 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 31

Confirm?: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 22
Extra Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 9 + 2 = 34

44/110 hp

"Ow! Hey, pick on someone your own size!" The halfling calls on the power of the Shard of Gluttony and touches the giant, his hand limned in necromantic fire.

Touch attack (vampiric touch) on G3: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Spell damage: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 6, 2, 3, 2, 1, 6, 1) = 36 HP damage

Karn's hit is just barely enough to take down the giant he had been sparring with and Bert nearly takes down the other! Argust is then able to charge in and finish it off with little trouble!

Out of combat!

"Anyone mind if I drink one of these?" Bert indicates the CSW potions.

Brelar rises up out of the pit he created and steps over looking around. "By all means Bert, drink up!"

CSW potion: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 8, 1) + 5 = 21

Bert does just that, and looks a lot better (though that's overlaid with an unnatural vitality drained from the fallen giant).

Giants. Ha! No match for us, right Brelar?

Argust did take some damage, however and will indicate so.

"These foes were certainly no match, but the day is young my dwarven friend. The day is young..."

Healed up and ready to go in? There definitely aren't more giants awaiting you inside ;)

No more giants? Argust quits. :) Argust does need healing, he is down 70 HP. If we still have a wand,

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Close enough. 154/158 HP.

Now bereft of guards you are able to move through the gate. You are met with a fearsome sight: three more giants stand at the read with greatclubs drawn. A fire giant stands nearby with three mastodons, although you note that these mastodons are covered in a thick black tar....

Initiative:

1. Karn, Bert, Argust, and Brelar
2. Giants and Mastodons!

You guys are up!

Brelar takes out a metamagic rod and hurls an iceball at the fire giant and his mastodons!

10d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 6, 2, 6) = 32 DC 23 Ref for half!

More giants! I'll get 'em!

Not wanting to rush out such a great distance against so many enemies and potentially leaving his friends too exposed, Argust moves slowly forward, protecting the party! Argust will ready his attack to strike any of the giants if they close within striking range. If anyone in the party asks Argust to do something else, he will.

Bert casts improved invisibility on Brelar. "Let's make you harder to target, OK?"

Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Brelar causes a blast of ice to freeze the foes to the west! Bert then turns the wizard invisible as Argust readies his blade....

Karn is up!

Sorry, away this weekend. Karn would have healed himself as well, and bought a new CLW wand, as well as a CMW wand. CMW: 8d8 + 12 ⇒ (7, 2, 7, 7, 7, 1, 6, 6) + 12 = 55 )4 chrgs) CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 8) + 2 = 14 Full.

Karn moves up to Argust and casts a spell, giving the a blessing.

blessing of fervor

Argust uses the spell to increase his attack and defensive abilities.

Karn speeds the party up as the three giants throw boulders at the party!

rock at Bert: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

rock at Karn: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

rock at Argust: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Confirm:
rock at Argust: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

The fire giant shouts and slaps each of the mastodons on the rear! This has the effects of both setting the tar covering their bodies on fire and frightening them into a frenzy! They snort and rear up before they start charging forward! But only double move because the GM was too stupid to put them in trampling range. Doh!

Bah! I saw they had greatclubs drawn, I didn't think they had rocks! I was gonna ask...

Surprised by the tactic, Argust is struck by one of the rocks! Seeing a threat present itself, Argust decides to use the increased speed of his Blessing and charges the mastodon on the left!

Charge!: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41 for Damage: 2d6 + 32 ⇒ (6, 1) + 32 = 39 plus If Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Brelar tosses a fireball at the mastedons!

Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 5, 3, 4, 6, 6, 2, 4) = 43 DC 23 Ref for half!

Karn casts another spell, granting himself the bull's strength, then moves toward Argust.

Taking +2 to AC

Giants always have rocks handy!

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Argust charges in and leaves a bleeding gash on the mastodon's leg! Brelar then unleashes a blast of fire that certainly hurts the mastodons but also ignites the tar on their bodies even more! Karn prepares himself for battle....

Bert is up!

Bert draws a bead on the most wounded mastodon and puts a bullet into it, then hastily reloads.

DA bullet to M1, incl. luck and good hope: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 3 + 2 = 35
Bullet damage, incl. luck, good hope, and grit: 1d6 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 + 2 + 5 = 21

Bert's bullet is just enough to take the first mastodon down! The other two mastodons speed into a stampede!

Trample on Argust:
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (4, 1) + 18 = 23
fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11
and knocked prone

Trample on Karn:
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (2, 1) + 18 = 21
fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
and knocked prone

You can make an AoO at a -4 penalty as they run over you or you can forgot this AoO to make a Ref save for half damage.

The fire giant shouts out, "Man Giant the ballistas!" I doubt they would know the proper plural 'ballistae'.

The fire giant moves closer to the action and heaves a rock at Argust!

rock: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 Half the trample, fire or all damage? And I assume there is no way to avoid being knocked prone.

Argust will use a swift action to stand up via his Blessing. He'll then attack the mastadon!

Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28 for Damage: 2d6 + 32 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 32 + (2, 4) = 41
Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26 for Damage: 2d6 + 35 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 35 + (5, 2) = 49
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 for Damage: 2d6 + 35 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 35 + (4, 3) = 50

Bert turns Karn's blessing towards his speed, rushing in far faster than his little halfling legs could normally carry him. He snaps a shot off at mastodon #3.

DA bullet to M3, incl. lingering luck, PBS, and good hope: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 32
DA bullet damage to M3, incl. lingering luck, PBS, good hope, and arcane strike: 1d6 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 21

Brelar hurls another iceball at the fire giant!

Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 6, 3, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5) = 38 DC 23 Ref for half.

Half of all damage I'd say. Since it's an automatic overrun I think you are knocked prone either way, hence the -4 on your AoO should you choose to do that.

Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

In a couple swings Argust takes down one of the mastodons! Bert then puts a bullet in the other! Brelar meanwhile tries to chill the fire giant down!

Karn is up!

Ref: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12

Karn completely fails to get out of the way of the stampeding pachyderms!

Standing up, he swings hard at the mastodon, to his south. Using BoF to stand as a swift

Power Attack: 1d20 + 19 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 19 - 3 = 32
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 9 = 29

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 3 = 26
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 9 = 26

Karn hits the mastodon hard and the flames licking up its back are enough to knock it unconscious.

The fire giant charges at Argust, drawing a greatsword from its back along the way!

greatsword power attack: 1d20 + 21 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 21 - 3 = 38
damage: 3d6 + 15 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 15 + 9 = 35

The other giants then fire their ballistae down on the party!

light ballista on Argust: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
damage: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 8, 7) = 24

light ballista on Bert: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Another crit threat on Argust.

Bert dodges the ballista bolt, then reloads and moves up towards the fire giant.

Yep, missed that first one:
greatsword power attack: 1d20 + 21 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 21 - 3 = 19
damage: 3d6 + 15 + 9 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 15 + 9 = 30

Bert reloads and moves in!

Initiative:

1. Karn, Bert, Argust, and Brelar
2. Giants!

FG: 105 dmg

Karn, Argust, and Brelar are up!

After the trample and the greatsword attack (of which Karn takes 5 of each) Argust is at 96/158 HP.

Argust steps closer and attacks the fire giant! Using Blessing for an extra attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (19) + 25 = 44 for Damage: 2d6 + 32 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 32 + (5, 4) = 50
Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30 for Damage: 2d6 + 35 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 35 + (2, 4) = 49
Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 for Damage: 2d6 + 35 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 35 + (5, 6) = 51
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 for Damage: 2d6 + 35 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 35 + (6, 3) = 49

Confirm?: 1d20 + 25 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 25 + 4 = 47 for Damage: 2d6 + 32 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 32 + (1, 1) = 36
Staggering Critical, he is staggered for Rounds: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 unless he makes a DC 23 Fort save.
