Screw you hydra! Take my venomous insults!

Toxic Words with Waters of Set.

Wil Save DC 14, then Fort 20 and 15, rolling twice for the 20. D100 if failed the DC20

Kiyu swears as the hydra seems unaffected by her poison before redoubling her efforts and hexing him.

Will save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Fort save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 and also 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22.... And as this comes to a failure....1d100 ⇒ 68

Updated Initiative List for The Ambush at Foggy Bog! Round 1!! Eeeeeek!!

Kyleon!
Green hag Crooked Maggie! (Skips closer to Kiyu invisibly, now 70 ft from Kiyu)
Nacht! (Activates fly with the Scales of R'lyeh and flies 30 ft up and 30 ft closer to bog)
Hisao! (Activates greater invisibility with his ring, positions himself to ambush the hydra)
Alphonse! (Dismounts "Biscuit" and readies to reap a foe)
Iommi-Tyr! (Readies firebomb for hydra to come within 30 ft)
Bog hydra! (Rushes 60 ft closer to the party.... It's now 40 ft from the middle of the marching order)
William! (Charges the hydra and impales it!)
Kiyu! (Threw the returning dagger of venom at hydra)
Paddy!

Ooh! Ooh!! Ooh!!

Thats wrong, She threw a dagger. And is AFTER the Hydra, NEXT ROUND... She hexes him after his turn... if he lives.

Right, right!

Could I not delay until after the hydra so as to be able to charge it?

You didnt see the Hydra so technically you wouldnt know to delay but it is possible.

Could I not delay until after the hydra so as to be able to charge it?

You can charge it as a readied action as soon as it came into view, yes....

Basically, you heard Tyr shout "look everyone, a bog hydra!", waited till you could see it yourself, when you had line of sight, you charge....

You cannot ready a charge a charge is a fullround action.

Exactly, it doesn't make much sense to prepare a normal attack against the first enemy I see since i wouldn't possibly be able to reach them. What if I were to delay until after Paddy? William couldn't see anyone so decided to stay until he could.

True.... But you can ready to ride closer on seeing the beast, so it appears you can move into reach but not attack....

Yar, there's a Feat (Rhino Charge) for that and everything.

Or this.... Just delay....

William couldn't see a thing, he strained his neck and looked side to side but saw no foe.
"What are you guys looking at?"

He waited in place, champion pawed at the ground and they both looked on in confusion as there allies fought some unseen ally. Suddenly the bog hydra burst forth... "OH! I found it!"

The young knight wheels his horse around and brings his lance up to face the monster. "YOU! BEAST! LETS FIGHT!" Challenge

Champion hurtles forward and the dynamic duo crash into the hydra with the force of thunderstorm before prancing away.

PA Charge: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 Damage: 6d6 + 57 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 3, 6, 2) + 57 = 77

Round 2!

Scuttling closer to Kiyu.... Stealth 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (15) + 33 = 48 for 15 ft closer.... 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (13) + 33 = 46 15 ft closer....

She is now only 40 ft from Kiyu....

I would imagine Crooked Maggie, secure in her nigh undetectability, would use Accelerated Stealth and take the -5 to move at 25 feet per round instead of 15.

[dice=PA Charge]1d20+14 [dice=Damage]6d6+57

KRAKA--POOOWWWW!!! Thunder seems to rip the heavens and a bolt of lightning briefly illuminates the landscape along with the thunderclap that sounds as the lance of thunderbolts pierces the great beast's chest!

The bog hydra emits a terrible cacophony of screams as it topples over with the lance of thunderbolts impaling it like a boar on a spit!

HOOOONNNK!!! x5!!!

Wailing in English: Oh, nooooo!!! My bonny, bonny Milly is all run through on that mean lad's pointy stick, she is! Well, I'll avenge her death, if she don't heal up even from being impaled as she is!

This voice seems to come from somewhere nearby....

Of course I would! What he said, Mister GM!

Unseen by all save Paddy, who's magic robe of eyes reveals to him both the invisible hag, and the invisible ninja, Hisao, Crooked Maggie would be within a 5-ft step of Kiyu by now....

Round 2; You only Round Harder.
=========================

Nacht homes in on the sound and he flies near it his blades being drawn underneath as his weapons grow heavier. A stealthy-being... like the small-being. Perhaps this one he will be able to play with too.

Fly near the sound, cast Lead Blades

Updated Initiative List for The Ambush at Foggy Bog! Round 2!! Eeeeeek!!

Kyleon! (Actions from round 1 and 2)
Green hag Crooked Maggie! (Skips closer to Kiyu invisibly, now 5 ft from Kiyu)
Nacht! (Flies closer to the sound of Crooked Maggie's voice)
Hisao!
Alphonse!
Iommi-Tyr!
William!
Kiyu!

Delay until something happens.

Paddy dashes to cut off the hag, his sword flashing as he moves.

not sure if i can make it to attack her, but will roll anyways in case

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Paddy made round 1 and 2 actions...

I only went once before ..when i shot the arrow....

Alphonse delays until another threat is visible since it seems the Hydra is down.

"Good job, Will!"

I only went once before ..when i shot the arrow....

I was pointing out that + this round is all.. he had it where you did nothing.

ahh ok...

Ex-deckhand or not, the sharpshooter did not care for things that came to close for him to come to blows. While the beast that was felled before he could react surely fit that category, a mysterious and ominous voice was also beginning to sound that way.

Where is it?

He could see nothing, but as some of their party had made apparent, that did not mean nothing was there. Kyleon readied his weapon on the area from the voice's emanation.

Ready shot.

Rd 2

After having done nothing in the first moments of battle, and seeing the dragon-kin killed so quickly...

In English
Paddy, direct us on where the invisible creature stands so we may surround it less it gets away!
What does it look like?!

Iommi-Tyr Magnusson draws his Scroll of See Invisibility but does not cast it.
Yet.
I hope I don't have to use this thing.

I'm trying, laddie...I'm trying!

[bigger]Round Two[/bigger

Seeing as Paddy seems to be the only person who actually sees a threat and is stabbing at it Hisao lopes around and takes a swing at whatever is in there.

VenomFang flank EMPTY SPACE: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 131d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (2) + (3, 5) = 15

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 64

I always like higher being better. Up to you. I think it's a 50% miss chance as Hisao thinks he knows the space the enemy is in. Crappy attack roll regardless.

What is it trying to do? he yells.

Come at me, hag.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Can someone do something about the invisibility?" William moves into a position where he can charge as soon as the hag is revealed.

Probably won't be able too as Kiyu is literally in the middle of everyone.

-Posted with Wayfinder

In that case he'll just get in range

You can stab at the space where Paddy swung

Too far away, you also cant charge at something you cant see.

[dice=attack] 1d20+9; 1d6+5

Paddy is near enough to Kiyu and the hag to step between them with a single move, but the hag nimbly dodges his thrust with Greenthorne....

In English: Ah! So ye can see old Crooked Maggie, can ye!? *Gasp!* Ye wear a robe of eyes!? Now THAT will make an even prettier gown for Crooked Maggie!

The hag literally drools as she ogles Paddy's eye-covered tunic....

Hisao stabs empty air....

Round 3

The source of the disembodied voice is revealed as Crooked Maggie appears--a hunchbacked, wart-mottled, green-skinned old crone standing as tall as a tall man, with horrible, talon-like claws--and rakes at Paddy with both claws!

Claw 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 deals 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 slashing plus 2 Strength damage (DC 16 Fortitude negates Str damage)

Claw 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 deals 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 slashing plus 2 Strength damage (DC 16 Fortitude negates Str damage)

The Ambush at Foggy Bog! Round 3!! Ooh-ooh-ah!!

Green hag Crooked Maggie! (Attacks Paddy, becoming visible)
PCs' readied actions triggered....
Kyleon!
Nacht!
Hisao!
Alphonse!
Iommi-Tyr!
William!
Kiyu!
Paddy!

Eeeek! Eeeeek!!

Hold Person DC16 Will.

"Be still." Kiyu commands simply.

Since Kiyu's last round didn't trigger she'd go on delay, so she acts immediately after the hag.

I'll get you, my Pretty!

Bombs Away: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 (vs Touch AC)
Kaboom: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) + 6 = 19

The hag cackles with glee! HAHAHAHAHAHAHEEE!! I'm no "person" by the laws of that spell, my sweet! But I'm flattered! You see, I be what wizards and sages classify as a "monstrous humanoid".... Your minor magics can only paralyze normal humanoids, dearie!

I'll get you, my Pretty!

The hag nearly dodges, but Tyr's aim is just true enough to catch her on the heel as she tries to evade his lobbed firebomb, and the blast is skillfully sculpted so as to avoid his companions surrounding the hag!

AAAAAAAGHHH!!! Curse your firebombs, alchemist!! I'll wear your eyeballs on a necklace of your guts for that!!

Reflex save vs DC?? firebomb 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 fails, no doubt....

The hag is burnt for 19 fire damage!

Hisao, now with something to actually hit, flanks with Paddy and stabs twice with supernatural speed.

VenomFang flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 251d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3) + (1, 5) = 16
Ki VenomFang flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 131d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (6) + (4, 1) = 16

[dice=VenomFang flank]1d20+8+2;1d6+2+1d6+2d6
[dice=Ki VenomFang flank]1d20+8+2;1d6+2+1d6+2d6

YYYEEEEEOOOOWWWWCH!!! Sneaky!! But....the foe that stabbed me remains invisible!? No minor magic, that be!

The first thrust stabs deep into the hag's side.... She instinctively dodges the second unseen attack....

Oh yeah. It's invisible so add a +2 on there for both attacks.

Hisao looks down and realizes he can't see himself.

Huh
