Servayn Krolz |
"I vote for the bold approach. Are we not heroes? Whatever threat looms, we shall meet it with our very best violence." Servayn says predictably, throwing caution to the wind.
Ember grunts his approval, possibly for the first time ever, being of a single mind with Servayn.
Kriger Eilifsson |
"Nothing recent as today, Kals. It looks as if whoever or whatever is in the fort, is probably still there. Well now what?" He asks nobody in particular as he looks on toward the fort, wondering what resides within.
Other Mastermind |
You make your approach, noticing that the fort is built on a triangle plan. When you are within about thirty feet, two bolts fly from its wooden walls towards the leading warrior, catching him by surprise.
From what I read, Davor would have lead the party at this moment.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12; 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) = 6
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12; 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) = 16
The bolts, aimed at his throat, fortunately bounce off his thick armour!
Two small shapes dodge back behind the wooden wall.
The wooden palisade stands 15 feet tall in front of you...
Servayn Krolz |
Is there a gate, and is it open or closed? Assuming closed...
Servayn casts a spell, and everybody feels the rush of arcane speed infusing them.
haste on Kalsgrim, Kriger, Davor, Janku, Ember and himself for six rounds. +30 ft. movement, +1 attack if making a full attack, +1 to attack rolls, +1 dodge bonus to AC and +1 Reflex saves.
He says in Draconic, "Ember, get in there and open that gate."
Ember smiles a ghastly smile and leaps into the air and over the walls, intending to come down inside the fortification and take advantage of the extra move action from haste, if possible, to knock away whatever bar or latch holds the gate closed.
Other Mastermind |
No worries, it's my fault. I'll try to get this show moving. Now that I know I'm around, I'll put more energy into it.
Ember takes to the air. From your vantage point, all you see is it circling the palisade to get to the gate.
Ember intelligence check to figure out how to open the gate: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
From behind the palisade, you hear a grunt: "Not so simple..."
From the guard tower, two little heads appear and take another surprise shot at Servayn.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25; 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2) = 9
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24; 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1) = 8
This time, both bolts catch the summoner squarely, catching him in the neck and the liver. (-17 hp to Servayn)
If you guys want to state actions, do so for next round.
Kriger Eilifsson |
"Blast! Servayn, take cover!" Kriger then pulls out his bow. "Now let's see if we can get a little payback."
Readied action as well.

Servayn Krolz |
Ember continues to fiddle with the gate, attempting to knock it open.
Servayn draws his newly aquired wand of lightning from his haversack, and pauses, waiting for the archers to stick their heads up again, so that he can give them a taste of retribution...
DC 20 UMD to activate wand, which he'll do as the readied action the next time the archers stick their heads up to fire their ballista or whatever they are. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
DC 13 Ref save for half, 5d6 lightning damage, possible bonuses for partial cover... 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 6, 2) = 23
Other Mastermind |
A few seconds pass...
All of you are focussed on the palisade, and, on cue, two small, ugly gnome-looking, heads pop up to shoot crossbow bolts at you, but this time you're ready.
Arrows fly and lightning snakes upward. The air crackles loudly and gets filled with the smell of ozone. One of the small creature collapses, severely burned. The other creature ducks back quickly, opting not to fire. Instead, you hear a loud whistle.
Meanwhile, Ember still tries to put its reptilian brain to work at deciphering the mechanical workings of man. 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
The gate opens slowly as Davor steps in the keep, sword in hand.
Servayn Krolz |
"They look like spriggans," Servayn says aloud, to Kalsgrim's inquery, "Some sort of degenerate size-changing gnome offshoot."
Thanks be to Old Deadeye they aren't just terrified homesteaders, defending themselves against unannounced visitors... Servayn thinks, momentarily stricken with the knowledge that he may have tragically over-reacted.
Other Mastermind |
You start entering the fort, when, alerted by the sentry, a large creature with pointy ears and grey skin vaguely resembling a gnome appears in the courtyard. He is accompanied by four wolves. He snarls at you and directs his wolves to attack.
All yours.

Should be three more rounds of haste, for those keeping track at home.
"Not sure, whatever gnomes are, I guess..." Servayn replies to Davor, before moving forward with startling speed to P21 and casts a spell.

Round 1 - The Leaders of Frieland
"What species are they?"/b] Davor asks as he makes a beeline for the large creature with his sword in hand, calling down a judgement of destruction and moves forward 20ft.
Janku will move to the most ideal spot and cast bless. [b]"Milani guide our hands, and strengthen our resolve."
Kalsgrim strides to a better vantage point and looses and arrow at one of the wolves. The wolf yelps in despair but doesn’t go down.
"Not sure, whatever gnomes are, I guess..." Servayn replies to Davor, before moving forward with startling speed and casts a spell.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
A thick coat of grease springs from the floor beneath the giant spriggan, but he manages to stay up!
Ember leaps into the air and flies to engage one of the wolves. He goes through the wolf like butter. The wolf collapses in a shower of blood.
Kriger charges towards the 'giant gnome' and swings at the wolf in front of it. His axe easily severs the beast’s neck.
Round 1 -The Culcheck Spriggans
A lot of noise and shouts come from different directions of the fort. Spriggans seem to appear from many directions, most of them, as they see you, change their size, as if they were balloon at the carnival or some exotic Tien fish you’ve heard of. They carry morningstars of great size, which for a moment remind you of Hargulka’s horde of trolls...
From the fort proper, you hear more shouts and you hear a door open on the balcony of the second story, where three Spriggans emerge, then grow bigger.
The one with its feet in the grease tries to reposition himself.
Acrobatics 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
He makes it out of the grease!
The Spriggan whi was hiding on the battlement takes another sneaky shot from hiding at Davor, revealing his position for an instant.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17; 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) = 12
Stealth 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
The sneak attack from the battlement catches the inquisitor off guard, and the bolt pierces his neck for massive damage. (-17 hp to Davor; DC 14 to see where he was.)
The Spriggan on guard and his wolves start fighting back.
W v E: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15; 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2; CMB 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

None of them can find an opening.

Glitterdust to affect Spriggans 3 and 6, just avoiding K on the corner (10 ft radius). DC 18 Will save or blind for 6 rounds (save each round to end condition).
Ember ignores the remaining wolf and steps to engage the closest Spriggan.
5 ft. step to Q12, possibly provoking an AoO from wolf 3, although maybe not, since it was only a 5 ft. step. I'm fuzzy on AoOs... Full attack on Spriggan 4.

Seeing the Spriggans pop out from everywhere, "Well, well, there's a whole lot o' ya little buggers! Good!" Kriger heaves his axe high and takes a massive downward swing at the wolf. He then immediately pulls back on his axe swinging it horizontally one way and then back across again in another in hopes to spill the guts of the Spriggan onto the floor.

it's not up to day, I've been slacking on the character a bit and lost the info of what he has and what he doesn't have. Also I thought someone succeeded on the knowledge check for what these things are? I ask and Davor asks because then I have a legitimate reason for knowing what they are to bane my weapon against them.

Servayn didn't have the knowledge-nature to determine anything very specific, but Other Mastermind generously allowed him to know *some* stuff about them. Davor has knowledge-nature, and would be able to find out more than Servayn did as a free action.

Round 2 - The Leaders of Frieland
Servayn steps back a pace from the spriggan that has suddenly gotten far too close for his comfort and incants another spell. A shower of gold sparkles fall on two spriggans.
3: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
6: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
They both start to panic as they seem to have lost their sight!
Ember ignores the remaining wolf and steps to engage the closest spriggan. Is claws sink in the spriggan, creating deep lacerations that makes it howl in pain and anger.
In a smooth action, Kalsgrim lifts his bow and fires at the spriggan threatening Servayn. His regular quick nock and release motion is practically a blur under the effects of Servayn's magic. The arrows thud one after another as the blinded spriggan can’t see them coming, one of them lodging itself deep in the corrupted gnome’s eye.
Kalsgrim calls out "Does anyone know what these things are? Do they have any vulnerabilities?"
Seeing the spriggans pop out from everywhere, "Well, well, there's a whole lot o' ya little buggers! Good!" Kriger heaves his axe high and takes a massive downward swing at the wolf. He then immediately pulls back on his axe swinging it horizontally one way and then back across again in another in hopes to spill the guts of the spriggan onto the floor.
His first swing cuts the wolf in two. His second and third cut the blind spriggan in four parts, covering him in blood.
Davor charges the wolf near ember and cuts it down swiftly. (Yes, it was a miss. Update your sheet before posting again please.)
Janku moves to improve its position on the battlefield (Sorry, but you don’t have line of sight or effect because of the buildings.)
Round 2 -The Culcheck Spriggans
Their numbers so swiftly cut down, the attacked spriggans do what they can to defend their lives from an overwhelming force. The two near Ember smash at it with their morningstars. From the top of the fort, the two spriggans fire their crossbows at Kriger. They are then joined by a third spriggan armed with a bigger crossbow and wearing a much fancier armour than his clanmates. He fires at Kriger as he reaches the battlement.
Meanwhile, still hiding, the spriggan on the battlefield now aims at Servayn the arcanist.
