Vermundr |
Vermundr charges up the stairs.
I'm not sure what's up with the grid on the lower half of the map.
GM-JZ |
Round 4 - Enemy
The wolf at the top of the stairs tosses it's bow aside in anger and rips a massive greatsword from it's sheathe.
Purple, Hazel: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Hit
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 1 = 10
The other two wolves run over to the southern edge of the temple roof. One slashes at Vermundr while the other snaps off a shot at Kazamir at the bottom of the stairs.
Yellow, Vermundr: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23 Hit
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12
Red, Kaz: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Miss
Round 5 - Heroes
Kazamir Rhuul |
Kaz follows his compatriots up the stairs, sending another round of magic missiles at the (blue) lycanthrope at the top of the stairs.
4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 1) + 4 = 14
Hazel Stokes |
"Rrrr....out of the way!" Hazel cries as she tries to shank her attack with her silver dagger...
Attack vs. Blue (+1 Silver Shapechanger Bane Dagger; Haste, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Attack vs. Blue (+1 Silver Shapechanger Bane Dagger; Haste, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
...and then falls back a pace to allow Vermundr to step up.
Vermundr |
Vermundr steps up past Hazel and cleaves into the wounded werewolf with crushing force.
Attack (haste, arcane strike): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 22
Confirming: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 30
Extra Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 21
Zed Ulmin |
I believe I'm waiting on Vala to launch me, correct?
Zed Ulmin |
Zed goes for a flying overhead full-bodied smash, with a quick follow up smash!
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 13 + (1, 1) = 22
Haste Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 13 + (3, 3) = 26
GM-JZ |
Round 5 - Enemy
Red, Zed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Hit
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15
Red, Zed, bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Miss
The wolf reels from Zed's blows but returns in kind with a wicked slash of it's greatsword across his chest.
Yellow, Vermundr: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Hit
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 6) + 10 = 20
Yellow, Vermundr bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 Hit
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Vermundr fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Equally the wolf at the top of the stairs slices deeply into Vermundr with a mighty blow and then tears a chunk out of his shoulder with it's powerful jaws.
Round 6 - Heroes
Hazel Stokes |
With one wolf down, Hazel moves up the stairs to engage the wolf tangling with Vermundr, hoping to provide some distraction.
Attack vs. Yellow (+1 Silver Shapechanger Bane Dagger; Haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
Attack vs. Yellow (+1 Silver Shapechanger Bane Dagger; Haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Vermundr |
I forgot to post Vermundr's current AC but that bite shouldn't hit. With shield, haste, and a bodyguard from Zelda, his AC is 25.
Vermundr |
Heedless of the wound in his side, Vermundr hustles over the broken bodies of the werewolf archers to join Zed in bringing down the last opponent.
Attack (haste, arcane strike): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 + 2 + 6 = 17
Bodyguards: 3d20 ⇒ (19, 1, 6) = 26
Zed Ulmin |
Zed's in the slugfest now, and he intends to win it.
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + (6, 1) = 23
Haste Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + (4, 5) = 25
Oof, thank you dice gods. You are kind on this day.
Vermundr |
Is the loot all large-sized?
"Speak for yourself", Vermundr grunts as he studies the bloody rent in his armor.
"He should have but we knew that boy was a fool. Let's just hope he manages to wander back to the Lodge."
Vermundr |
Hrm. That makes wielding most it awkward.
After thorough testing, Vermundr picks out the best balanced of the silver greatswords and somewhat awkwardly straps it to his back alongside the one he normally wields.
The bracers are pretty valuable but I don't know that we're going to have a ton of time to sell them and shop around with the profits. Is it worth nabbing them anyway?
Vermundr |
We need an MMO-esque disenchating system.
Finding the bracers worn by the werewolves of exceptional quality, Vermundr does his best to clean the blood off them before looting them as well.
Valavastra Cross |
Vala alights on the stone roof beside the others, her face grim and stony. "Well, that vilkacis hasn't shown itself yet, so we're not out of the woods yet. Stay sharp. And the more noise we make in here means there will be fewer wolves for Duristan to run into out there. This place is sacred to the tribes, I say we go in and do we all we can to draw that vile ghost out. Sooner or later, someone will know about Vrood and where we can find him."

Zed Ulmin |
Zed takes some time to heal himself.
IFM: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 8) + 7 = 22
"I won't be able to do that much damage to them next fight." Zed warns as his weapon stops glowing.
Vermundr |
Thanks Vala.
Feeling stronger after Vala's applied her soothing touch, Vermundr readies his blade again and moves to the front of the party's formation to lead the way.
Hazel Stokes |
"Well, do we start here and work our way up to the tower or go back down and work our way back up proper?"
________
Trying to understand the earlier descriptions; is the bottom of the structure 'open' and basically has nothing to really explore or were there some sections that could be examined more closely?
Kazamir Rhuul |
Kaz could use a CLW, as well, if we have a handy potion or wand.
Kazamir surveys the rooftop, and his eyes linger on the tower.
"I think, given that we are in a temple dedicated to a celestial body, that we'll find our answers at the top of the tower." he says quietly.
GM-JZ |
The group makes it's way to the lower roof of the temple.
Broken columns line the perimeter of the flat roof of the low, trapezoidal building adjoining the observatory tower. Exposed to the elements, the floor has suffered from years of weathering, and wide cracks now run across the surface, but a faded mosaic of a giant butterfly can still be made out in the shadow of the observatory tower.
GM-JZ |
The spiral stairs rise steeply, coiling around the tower’s exterior. A scant three feet wide, in many places the stairs have been left worn and dangerously crumbling from weathering.
The stairs climb 90ft and a DC 15 climb check is needed every time you move. I think that works out as 4 being required to reach the very top
Kazamir Rhuul |
We do have a wand in the party stores - if no-one objects, I'll ask Vala or Hazel to give me a tap.
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Valavastra Cross |
The clw wand in the party stores tab is a placeholder - it has 0 charges. There's a cure moderate wounds wand with 9 charges, but I'll just pop you with a hex for now, Kaz.
Healing Hex (Kazamir): 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (3, 7) + 7 = 17
Vala relies on her magics to bear her aloft, matching the pace of the others as they ascend the stairs.
If someone does so poorly as to trip and hurl themselves from the stairs, Vala will keep a use of heaven's leap readied to catch them.

Hazel Stokes |
"This place is a mess..." Hazel sighs as they begin making their way towards the top of the tower. "Be really careful, it'd be easy to slip and fall with all the debris in the way!"
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

________
Hazel has Boots of the Cat so if she manages to fall more than once, she'll at least take the minimum possible damage from doing so - and land on her feet!
