"Well, I guess this should work like a normal river craft. Let me see those oars, Vira"
Ebonfeather rows the boat out toward the island.
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
In case more than one check is needed
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Ebonfeather holds the boat steady as others disembark, then drags the boat up on shore to make sure it doesn't float away.

As you summit the volcano, you find yourself staring at a stone platform suspended above the center. In the center of the platform there is a small pedestal on which a flaming greatsword resides. The flames are sticking to the blade, and not the hilt. On the far side of the platform is a gold throne. A young man sits on this throne. When you appear he smiles.
I am Jason, guard of the Blade. You must kill me if you wish to take the Fire Swiftblade. Or of course you could steal it with some deft fingers. Or you could magically transport it out of the cave. Or you could... you get the point. But rest assured that if you try to remove it, I will fight back.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 is he sincerely presenting being tricked as the only alternative to dieing?
"You could fight and you could die for we need these tools to defend the town. Would it not be better to come with us and fight actual enemies then those of good intentions?"
Switching tacks after a pause.
"Or, as a represnetaive of law in the town, can justifiy putting a bolt though your eye and leaving your blood to mix with the lava."
Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 FFS
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
Examine the pedestal to see if there appear to be any traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Examine Jason, does he appear to be human?
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
"Guard of the Blade? Exactly how long have you been guarding this blade?
No sleep? No food? No entertainment other than watching the lava bubble?
Are you sure you wouldn't prefer if we allowed your vigil to end?
The people who placed you here to guard this blade must have set some type of condition that would allow them to take the blade without having to battle you. Is there anything we can show you to prove that we have the backing of the town above?"

In other words, fight him to get xp so you can level up and make up for the amazing diplomacy rolls in the mage guild
Resolving a potential combat situation through use of role playing usually still results in earning xp. If that is not the case, I can certainly stop talk to people. ;)
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

It would appear that Drahz has gone on vacation, I can't find any activity from him from before the 13th. As such, I will roll his initiative and then we can start combat.
Drahz's Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Of course he has the highest initiative...
While we wait a little longer, can you guys put your letters on the map near Vira's letter?
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
I actually beat him in tiebreaker :)

I can't edit the map. Is Vira standing where we landed the boat? I'll probably place myself next to Vira, with Mushroom moving in front of me.
LegitGM |
I fixed link sharing. Due to complications, I will be taking over Drahz for the time being. This is the crest of the volcano. You guys start at the bottom of the map.
-
Drahz will run forward, towards Jason, and then draw his weapon. Move action: move. Standard action: replace with move action (draw weapon)
Daphne's shot misses (whichever roll is used).
Vira streaks forward, pulling out her knife after.
Jason begins chanting እሳት ፍጡራን, የእኔ ትግል ውስጥ እኔን የሚረዳ! and waving a small bag.
Umberto you are not in range to attack, what would you like your move action and standard (or 2nd move) action to be? Keep in mind you are still on the bottom of the map with Mushroom
Umberto Greenfingers |
How far away is he? Umberto moves as far as he needs to move to get in position for a melee attack. If he may then perform a standard action, he attacks as rolled above. If not, then he does not attack.
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
Looks like we are back to the top of the round
Ebonfeather advances to S14, then fires again.
Bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dam: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Mushroom stays at his side, and readies another attack if an enemy comes within range.
Gore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dam: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Daphne Hermstos |
Daphne, hair wet with sweat form the heat, skirts around the edge of the lava to get a clear shot.
"This guy must be an idiot. Fighting us instead of defending the town."
Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 maybe her heart is not in it
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
"Mushroom, go help Umberto out and attack that Fire being" Switching back to Aspect of the Bull to boost Strength for Mushroom.
Ebonfeather will close in on Jason for a better angle and shoots again.
Bow,Point Blank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
Mushroom rushes up to S9 and attacks (the Elemental does not appear to be on the map yet)
Gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

That hits, dealing a substantial 8 damage. Jason must make a DC 20 concentration check.
Concentration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
That succeeds!
Vira rushes at Jason and attempts to stab with her knife.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Jason must make a DC 15 concentration check.
Concentration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Wow those concentration checks were close...
Well Jason is up (with a second spell ready).
His spell ends and another fiery thing appears, this one right next to the sword. He attempts to cast defensively (DC 19). Concentration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 But he loses the spell.
The first elemental attempts to slam into Umberto. Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 But he misses.
The second elemental attempts to slam into Drahz. Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Another miss.
Umberto/Mushroom are up, then Ebonfeather.
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
After Umberto's action:
Ebonfeather, no longer having a good shot, rushes forward to set up a flank with Vira, drops his bow and attempts to bite Jason.
Bite,Flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12
Meanwhile, Mushroom 5-foot steps closer to Jason and continues attempting to gore the fire being.
Gore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Dam: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

That is 3 more damage to Jason.

This time the spell succeeds. [spoiler=Spellcraft DC 16]Mage Armor[/dice]
Elemental 1 and 2 attack. 1 attacks Mushroom. Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23. That is 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage, and Mushroom must make a reflex save.
Elemental 2 attacks Umberto. Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20. That is 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 damage, and Umberto must make a reflex save.

Booo for high rolling
Mushroom Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
I'll wait to see what the effect is before taking my turn.
LegitGM |
Umberto catches fire for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds. At the start of the elemental's next turn, he will take 1d4 ⇒ 3 damage.
Mushroom catches fire for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds. At the start of the elemental's next turn, she will take 1d4 ⇒ 4 damage.
As a full round action, Umberto and Mushroom can attempt a new DC 11 reflex save.
Ebonfeather Sharpclaw |
Sorry, Umberto, Mushroom needs to take care of herself.
I am not sure if you will allow an animal to have the presence of mind to stop-drop-roll, so feel free to deduct the bonus
Mushroom takes more burn damage 1d4 ⇒ 3
* Now at 10/17
She takes a 5-foot step to T7, then drops and attempts to smother the flames
Reflex,SDR: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12
