Barundar Hammerfist |
Barundar, aware of the flanking position he is in that exposes him to easier hits, turns his attention away from Blue to Red, taking advantage of the last spurt of his magically-enhanced speed to swing twice at the foe.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Haste Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 14

Brighton Tongfinger |
Brighton shakes his head momentarily, but the hammers keep pounding in his ears. He looks at Irabeth, "Get behind me Irabeth. I can be as stalwart as Torag's anvil if need be, they won't come up these stairs."
GM Niles WotR |
Brighton if you want you can post Round 2 and 3 actions, I just didn't know what you wanted to do so I delayed you.
Brighton Tongfinger |
Ok thanks! I think for R2 I'll do a channel to harm undead.
Channel Harm Undead Will Save DC 13 to halve: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
R3, say what I said to Irabeth then move in front of her.
Victrix Bloodmane |
Assuming the zombies aren't destroyed by the time my turn comes around...
Round 3: Actions
Move Action: Move two steps to Green
Standard Action: Smack Green!
"Thanks Belle!" Victrix says as the bolts of force blast the zombie apart. She takes two steps over to the Green Zombie, swinging her sword as she does so.
Attack (Bless): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12
Belledonna |
Silently acknowledging Victrix's regard, Belledonna once more pulls out what she is rapidly coming to consider Aravashnial's 'fast stick', calling forth it's energies of acceleration & infusing them into her compatriots.
Using the Wand of Haste to cast on Barundar, Brighton, Konny, Irabeth & Victrix.
GM Niles WotR |
Not gonna bother rolling saves because even at half damage they both go down with Vic's hit.
Brighton calls upon Torag's blessing damaging the foul undead, felling one and Victrix moves over to destroy the one threatening Konny.
Combat Over.
GM Niles WotR |
Brighton Tongfinger |
Brighton staggers into the room with the pool of water. He clutches his head for a moment then says, "I...I see this same pool...only clean. I hear Father Torag's hammers...is he trying to tell me something about this water? Are we supposed to make it...clean somehow?"
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Brighton Tongfinger |
Brighton looks over at for a brief moment, then does a double take. "Victrix...please bring that over closer!" He runs his hands over it, licks a clean part of the morningstar, and looks up. "It's...adamantine. Father Torag's own is made from this! How is it here?!"
Konny Hammerhead |
Konny looks at Brighton. "I guess the dead bodies here should be removed and the room cleaned. Question is, should we do it before or after we clear this building of enemies?"
Barundar Hammerfist |
Barundar gives a firm nod of his head, his eyes glittering at the revelation of the adamantine weapon. Such a rare thing, a weapon made of the superhard skymetal! But Victrix was right...they had a task to finish and they could worry about it after their job was done and the Wardstone was secured.
He lines up after Victrix, readying himself to follow her up the stairs, when a thought occurs to him. "Wait. Shouldn't we tak' care o' th' enemies doonstairs? we know they're thare 'n' thay cuid aye wale tae follow us 'n' ah dae nae waant us tae end up flanked by them."
Belledonna |
Wow. We're going to wind up 'wasting' another charge of the Haste wand...
Considering it still has 20 charges & lasts five rounds a charge, I suspect if it doesn't last us through, it's because we die horribly.
Shaking her head, Belledonna counters. "At this point, those above us must know how close we are. To turn back would only grant them more time to prepare."
Holding a cautioning hand to Victrix, she adds. "Kia tuatahi Whakatātare ahau. Ki te hohoro mahi, kia auraa i te rerekētanga i waenganui i a tatou a ratou ranei ia i te painga."
Konny Hammerhead |
Konny looks surprised Bel wants to scout ahead but just nods and waves his hand as if to say "go ahead".
Belledonna |
Acknowledging Konny's acquiescence, Belledonna creeps carefully up to peek around the angle of the stairs.
untrained Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19, to avoid making untoward sounds.
untrained Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19, to notice if there is anyone near the top of the stairs.
GM Niles WotR |
1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 5 = 26 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 5 = 25
No one at the top of the stairs...but Bell hears something large moving beyond the stairs.
Konny Hammerhead |
Konny stands ready to come to Belledonna's help if the need arises.
Barundar Hammerfist |
Barundar readies himself alongside Konny, the logic of Belledonna's response irrefutable. He draws his hammer close in to his side, ready to charge and swing at a moment's notice.
Belledonna |
At the sound of something close-by, Belledonna turns and whispers back to Victrix & the others. "Whakaaro ahau ki reira he kotahi anake, i te tihi o te pikitanga. E haere ana ahau ki te tamata & matapo ki a ia. Kia rite ki te neke hohoro, ka pera te mahi ahau."
She once more pulls out the wand given her by Aravashnial & uses it's energies to speed her companion's limbs before again carefully moving, this time to just below the top of the stairs, to peek around.
Cast Haste on the others, resetting the timer to five rounds.
untrained Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Once at the top, she will quickly peek around & if the creature is still in the same place on the map, she will cast Glitterdust, pretty much centered on the P on the map.
GM Niles WotR |
Just to be sure, this is the upstairs we are talking about right? Not the things downstairs?
Brighton: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Konny: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Victrix: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Belledonna: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Minotaur: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Unknown: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Barundar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Irabeth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
Combat Round 1
Konny pass
Brighton pass
Minotaur spots Belle poking her head around the stairs and raises a horn and lets a loud blast echo from it. The horn is impossibly loud, you surmise it must have some magical effect. It then drops the horn and raises the largest axe you have ever seen.
Irabeth What in the hells... she says, but remains put, guarding the lower stairwell.
Unknown alerted, casts a spell.
Victrix pass
Belledonna casts Glitterdust on the minotaur. CL Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 she finds that it resists her magic, however a small and annoying yet familiar creature is illuminated by the glitterdust. It is also now blinded.
Barundar
Ok, so because everyone knows that everyone else is here, I figured rolling initiative was the best way to sort this out.
Go ahead and figure we are into round 2. Belle you still have a move action, Barundar has round 1 action but he will be passing if he doesn't post before everyone else posts their round 2.
Everyone is still Blessed and has PFE, Haste is up also for 4 more rounds.
Belledonna |
Um, Spell Resistance does not affect Glitterdust. If this is some kind of Mythic thing, that's fine, but just saying.
Also, yes, this is the top floor.
Eyes wide at the revelation of what stands before her, Belledonna calls out, "Na!" as she points her trusted wand at the now re-appearing Imp. "Kua kowaowaotia rawa te roa o to koutou poke to matou whenua! I teie mahana, tango hoki tatou i te mea ko tatou!"
Basically, she is using her move action to draw her wand. She's come too far, she's not backing down now.
Yeah, she's almost guaranteed to get herself killed. Low wisdom makes you do dumb things sometimes.
"Too long your filth has choked our land! Today, we take back what is ours!"
GM Niles WotR |
Thanks. I didn't even look it up. I was assuming it did and you know what that leads to...Yes Barundar you can close but you will take an AoO from the Large Minotaur with reach, unless you can beat his CMD with an acrobat roll.
Combat Round 1
Konny pass
Brighton pass
Minotaur spots Belle poking her head around the stairs and raises a horn and lets a loud blast echo from it. The horn is impossibly loud, you surmise it must have some magical effect. It then drops the horn and raises the largest axe you have ever seen.

Unknown alerted, casts a spell.
Victrix pass
Belledonna casts Glitterdust on the minotaur. Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 she finds that it resists her magic, however a small and annoying yet familiar creature is illuminated by the glitterdust. It is also now blinded.
Barundar
Barundar Hammerfist |
You know what they say... no guts, no glory!
Barundar quickly rushes up the stairs, hesitating for only the briefest moment before using his magically-enhanced speed to close the distance and bring all his strength to bear against the beast!
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Barundar rushes up the stairs to engage the Minotaur, which takes a swipe at him as he closes Axe: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 missing the stout dwarf by a mile! Barundar however, fails to strike the beast!

Upon hearing the horn sound and Belledonna shouting a challenge, Victrix pulls a potion from her belt and knocks it back!
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 3) + 3 = 14 2 potions remaining in my inventory.
Feeling her wounds close completely, she runs up the stairs, hoping to keep Belledonna from getting an axe through her skull.
Round 2: Actions
Free Action: RAGE!
Move Action: Move north of Barundar
Standard Action: Haste attack on the minotaur!
Upon seeing the minotaur, Victrix's blood starts boiling and her skin begins glowing. Here's a worthy foe!
In contrast to Belledonna's brash, verbose challenge, Victrix's is straight to the point.
"MAHARA SARKORIS!" She moves north of Barundar, heedless of the minotaur's axe, and strikes!
Attack (Bless, Haste, Rage!): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
The swing is less than accurate.
Active Effects: Bless, Haste, Rage (+4 STR & CON, -2 to AC, +2 Will Saves, +8 HP)

Brighton definitely hears the battle upstairs. go ahead and post actions.
Belle
Barundar
Belledonna |
It's a full round casting time. I got this.
An unsettling, almost evil gleam shines in Belledonna's eye as the new foe appears. Shifting her wand only slightly, she looses two darts of force at the twisted heretic.
Wand of Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7 Force. Say hello to my DC 20 Concentration check, b%%**!
Brighton Tongfinger |
Brighton looks at Irabeth, then nods. "Follow fast!" he says over his shoulder as he hustles to the next room and up the stairs.

Barundar
Barundar and Konny you're up!
Barundar Hammerfist |
Barundar reels from the heavy hit taken from the minotaur, though it doesn't put him down for the count. Deciding it's time to show this beast what he can do, Barundar broadens his stance, setting himself into a defensive position and using this new position of stability to help fight against the minotaur, knowing any movement will expose his allies to danger.
Seems like a good place to activate my new Defensive Stance. +2 AC (Dodge bonus; probably will mean overall +1 since it won't stack with Haste); +4 STR/CON (which means +8 HP). Makes my HP status 32/54.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
