GM thunderspirit's Reign of Winter AP

Game Master thunderspirit

Thank you kind and benevolent GM.

"Vojtek!"

could Liksa sneak in? Thus hopefully avoiding the AOOs?

Vojtek attacks with vigor and decisive rage. The Greatsword rises, the Greatsword falls.

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 11 + 6 = 25 damage.

Vojtek, being Vojtek, hulks out and charges in with little regard for anything but his insatiable blood lust.

He provokes from both — just what Liska wanted!

R AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
R dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14

V AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
V dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

Red hits and wounds the Northman before he can close, but he takes his pain out on Violet!

Liska slips inside the fracas, darting between Vojtek's legs to deliver Davosh's spell!

If your GM was truly a jerk, he'd've given the ice trolls Combat Reflexes!

...but he didn't.

R DC 19 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Red shrieks in pain and fury at the troll bane spell!

Kappi, Ali!

Thank you most generous GM. If I were a jerk I'd let you keep them rolling REF, but it's actually FORT. Does the spell look like the fire and or acid is doing anything beyond the expected?

Fort save mod = Refl save mod. No harm done.

The fire appears to be doing more damage than typical, but not the acid.

THREE 20's in a row! Are you fracking kidding me?

Round 1

The normally quick footed rogue freezes in horror at the two huge ice trolls. He tries to juke left at last second but it to no avail. Kappi stumbles back, he doesnt even feel the pain of the ax blows but he knows it is bad. Part of his mind calmly thinks about dying right here on the icy floor. Maybe he will lie down and between the massive trauma, blood loss, and freezing ice, he will just fade away painlessly. Desna will welcome him on the great Road...
But the rest of his mind is kickstarted into reaction. He hefts an alchemical fire then throws it, hoping he can burn at least one of these monstrosities to death.

Throwing attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Alchemical fire 1d6 ⇒ 2

Kappi is woozy and doesn't think about the consequences of throwing something while threatened. Or even about which baddie he's targeting. ;-) But the barbarian took the blows for the rest of the party, and Kappi's missile lands squarely on the chest of Violet, exploding into a blaze across its blue skin!

Ali moves past Kappi to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Voijtek, drawing her blade on the move. She smirks at the badly wounded troll as she imbues the blade with fire, and swings!

Arcane pool: blade to +1 flaming

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
dam: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (4) = 12

Ali's blade blazes and dances, but doesn't hit home!

Violet tries to escape from Vojtek and Ali!
Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Looks to me like it surpasses both CMD...?

He races to the double door on the south wall, beating on it and shouting.

Red full attacks Vojtek!
R battleaxe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
R battleaxe dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

R claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
R claw dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

R bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
R dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

V dmg from alch fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3
And the fires burn out, leaving much scarred flesh behind!

R Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
R dmg from trial of fire and acid: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

You guys are up!

Davosh keeps his eye locked on the burning and melting target.

"You will fail!"

Davosh then calls forth a loogie of arcane power and spits it out to Web the area (will put it on the map soon) trying to keep back up from coming in

-Posted with Wayfinder

Web is in place, "Take that!"

REF DC is 18.

!

[dice=Acrobatics vs CMD]1d20+10
Looks to me like it surpasses both CMD...?

Beats mine easily...but keep in mind it's +2 to DC per opponent over 1; don't know the barb's CMD...

Yes it beats mine too

ok well I think I have a grasp on what's going on... The dice gods are against us this fight so far. What is Anti-Jeffed?

Edwards eyes boggle at the viciousness of the trolls to the winter wolf, and Vojtek. He silently prays to Apsu while drawing the familiar wand. He touches the wand to Kappi while he feels the familiar flow of healing to Vojtek. His new boots help regenerate him like the trolls only much slower.

CLW to Kappi: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

so both Kappi and Vojtek get 5HP back, Edward takes 4 points. 48/52 hp

To Jeff is to roll horribly (a 1 is a True Jeff.)

A "True Jeff" or a "Natural Jeff," yes.

Davosh casts a spell!
Adjusted Davosh's web to something that will effectively anchor it. Less total coverage but it won't collapse upon itself now. LOL

Edward draws a wand and heals Kappi!

Kappi, Ali, Vojtek!

Thank you. I thought I had it placed correctly. My bad!

Ali swings

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 <--kaBLAMO!!!
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (6) = 14 <--6 of this is fire

confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
crit dam: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Mini-update:

Ali slashes and lands a telling blow!
Crit confirms; fire damage doubles too since it came from Ali's weapon. Fire gets half again due to ice troll's vulnerability.
1d6 ⇒ 1

As much as I'd love to agree, extra dice aren't multiplied on a crit...

As much as I'd love to agree, extra dice aren't multiplied on a crit...

Were the fire precision damage, I would agree; but it's not, it's an elemental effect, thus not "over and above a weapon's normal damage". If it were, you wouldn't roll extra dice for a weapon enchanted with lead blades, for instance.

But at any rate, the extra was one point. LOL

Kappi and Vojtek!

Vojtek steps forward face first and bites at the creature, intending to hold on with his jaws and deliver a short series of stabs to the abdomen.

Lunging bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage.

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 = 13 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 11 + 6 = 25 damage.

Round 2

Some life brought back by the palacle's healing, the rogue perks up. Thinking they might actually survive this, Kappi throws another alchemist fire.

Damage from the alchemical fire from last round 1d6 ⇒ 2

Throwing attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Molotov cocktail 1d6 ⇒ 1

bugger weak damage roll

Ali and I have been having a debate over PM regarding the extra dice damage. In typical Paizo fashion, the rules are laid out ALL OVER THE EFFING PLACE rather than, y'know, one place to look. :=|

Be that as it may, Ali is right that the fire damage from her flaming blade doesn't multiply with the crit (though it should, considering it's a weapon quality and not precision damage...but I'm not winning that fight with my developer friends, so.)

Practical upshot: Kappi's second alch fire hits and does the damage already in place (since it is also just 1 point). Also, the second round of alch fire from the last shot was already factored in (see here), but the second hit means it's on fire again.

Vojtek's savage attacks miss, but Kappi's alchemist's fire hits!

The south door bursts open to reveal another pair of cursing ice trolls!
R DC 18 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
V DC 18 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Violet is hopelessly tangled in the sticky strands, but not Red! It full attacks Ali for bringing the infernal flame!

R battleaxe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
R battleaxe dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

R claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
R claw dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

R bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
R dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
R bite confirm?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
R dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

R dmg from alch fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4
And the fires burn out, leaving much more scarred flesh behind!

R Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
R dmg from trial of fire and acid: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

And Red falls!

Blue strides confidently into the web!
B DC 18 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
But fails!

Orange, frustrated, delays!

Davosh, Edward, and Kappi each see the statues from the courtyard looming in the doorway of the clock tower!

You guys are up!

Arcana: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

dammit. I REALLY wanted to make that.... ugh...

"we have company!"

[ooc]looking for my laptop to post. Will when I can. Meanwhile the troll takes

Fire : 1d6 ⇒ 3 and Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 6 on a failed save.

"we have company!"

looking for my laptop to post. Will when I can. Meanwhile the troll takes <dmg> on a failed save.

Already took it; see above.

Davosh grabs a patch off his robe and tosses it to the floor.

"WAR PUPPIES UNITE AND FIGHT!"

Don't fight a war on 2 fronts. The dogs are here for the duration. We need to keep that door closed and finish off these trolls. I have a bit of fire left, though not much.

Kappi I'm coming to keep you from Ancestor's embrace!"

Ali grunts at the axe hit, and cries out at the nasty claw. Cursing her lack of preparation, she does now what she should have done earlier: spring put her wand of Shield and use it (then drop it)

sorry, are we at the top of the order again? So Round 3, Edward is up?

Round 3

Edward feels healing taken by Vojtek, and the feels the blessing of Apsu flow through him, he pushes it out in an explosive ring of healing. Instincts kick in, and he denies the magic to his enemies.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Vojtek gets 8 hp back, everyone else gets 3. Current HP 47/52

Yes, back to your guys' actions. The init is such that it's their go/your go/their go, etc.

Davosh summons the dogs of war! (Well, riding, anyway.) Nice pogs too, LOL

Edward channels positive energy!

Ali uses her wand of shield!

Kappi, Vojtek!

can Kappi shut the tower doors to keep out the buchos in the courtyard?

He can certainly try to shut the doors, if he wants. It's a Move action to open/close doors.

Round 3.

At Ojos Locos warning, the Varisian lad runs and shuts the door to keep out the weird things in the courtyard.
Kappi bars the door. If nothing is available he will spike the doors shut.

Kappi finds no bar, but does see a simple locking mechanism on the set of doors. He uses it to secure them.

Kappi could get to the doors with a five-foot step, and can choose to spike them with a piton if he wants; taking them out of his pack is another Move. Alternatively, he can choose another Standard action this round.

Vojtek is last up this round.

round 3 continued

Kappi just uses the simple locking mechanism on the door. Then steps back 5 feet and readies his weapons. He draws a tomahawk to throw.
I think we have some breathing room. Lets concentrate on finishing off these trolls in the webs. Uhh... how should we do that? Can we set the webs on fire?

Vojtek starts hacking into the webbing in order to get closer to the trapped monsters.

Ooc- can't move pogo and don't know what the in game effect of this will be. Vojtek is going for that square that allows him to hack 5' then reach the dude next round I presume.

Yeah, I can let that happen. Map adjusted accordingly.

V DC 18 CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
B DC 18 CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Violet struggles with the strands (though some of its wounds appear to heal this round), but Blue breaks free and moves out, attacking Ali!
battleaxe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

O DC 18 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Orange comes off delay and gets out too! double move for Orange

On the other side of the doors to the courtyard, there is much pounding!
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
And one door cracks and splinters, collapsing to the ground before the statuary onslaught!

You guys are up!

Davosh's Eye turns to a bold and royal blue as he reaches out and touches Kappi healing the lad's wounds Healing Hex: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 3) + 5 = 16

The dogs bark at the door wildly...

Round 4

The rogue watches the door splinter under the assault of the statue monster. Kappi swears quietly under his breath. Desna you are a treacherous b$&@@. I thought that door would hold.
As soon as he has a clear shot the rogue hurls his tomahawk at the statue breaking through the door. Here's Kappi!

throwing attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
tomahawk 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8

Davosh, have the war puppies hold the doorway.

Round the Third

After his hacking gained him access to trollflesh to slash, Vojtek cursed viscerally when the other trolls broke free.

He moved north to attack the blue tinged one with a running and jumping overhead attack!

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 2 = 26 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 11 + 6 = 24 damage.

Ali silently rejoices at the Shield spell having turned the axe aside. She eyes Blue mischievously, shifts in, and hacks away

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2) = 10

HP are accurate--pretty badly hurt yall

lets not forget one of DMS'S rules. An enemy with 1 hp does full damage

I misread. I assumed the door held. The doggies would bite at the statues (thankfully they're magic and not real doggies..)

Round 2 from the dogs going after the foe in the door:
Bite 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Bite 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Trip 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Trip 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Davosh Round 3
"Ancestors, if today be the day we join you, then see us fall with a story worth telling!" Davosh casts Bless on the party.

Bite 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Bite 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Trip 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
Trip 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21

Kappi's tomahawk sails past the Green column!

Ali thanks her lucky stars for shield but is distracted enough that her blade misses!

Vojtek moves to attack Blue...which provokes!
AoO on non-charging, raging, Power Attacking Vojtek: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
confirm? on non-charging, raging, Power Attacking Vojtek: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Oh, dear...OUCH
AoO dmg: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 5) + 8 = 24
He repays the troll's blow as his blade cuts the troll deeply!

The dogs of war manage to trip the foremost caryatid column, though their teeth do very little damage! (And the teeth don't take any damage from the caryatid columns, which is stupid, but that's apparently how it's supposed to work, so...)

Edward!

Not really sure exactly where we are in init, but I think I'm up. Sorry I can't see anyway to unleash the full power of "The Edward"

The situation has turned with the arrivals of the statues. Well aren't we just hucklebucked Edward states non have heard the term before except for obviously Davosh who gives a cackle in agreement.

Calling on the power of Apsu again Edward channels his healing denying his enemies once again.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Vojtek take receives 8 HP back, Everyone else heals 3. Current HP: 46/52

Edward selectively channels!

Some of the wounds on Blue heal up as it viciously full attacks Vojtek!
Blue battleaxe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
battleaxe dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
bite dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
claw dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Orange full attacks Ali!
Orange battleaxe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
battleaxe dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13

bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
bite dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
claw dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Some of Violet's wounds knit as well!
V DC 18 CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Violet finally breaks free of the web, racing to the corner to get out of the area! Movement will provoke from Vojtek and Ali.

V battleaxe on Ali: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
battleaxe dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

White attacks doggie #1!
W longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
W dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Caryatid columns are not noted for their intelligence; Green gets up (provokes) and attacks doggie #2!
G longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
G dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

You guys are up! BTW, to make the map easier to follow I removed Red, but the corpse is still there.
