Clyffward the Big Green Dog |
This round, still talking, and moving
Some steps towards the entrance, Alia turns again:"Clyffward looks strong...I don't suppose I could convince the two of you to help me?"
The buffalo-sized dog silently considers the elf with its huge gold eyes. Alia feels a vibration in the bones of her chest before she realizes that it is being caused by some sort of deep vocalization coming from the green hound.
Eldiocesan of Dweomervale |
Irritated by the interruption 'Ed' nonetheless sighs heavily. Lousy bluff check! He grabs his staff and pointy hat, puts the hat on and rises to his feet. "Very well. If we must we must." the older man grumbles.
Scarlet Scarab |
Scarlet isn't sure which one to take a swipe at- the one who shot at her, or the one who blew soot into her face. Memories of the that thing with the fool's rod worries her.
Still, she takes a swing with her warhammer and tries to clobber the southern mephit.
Warhammer, Sickened, Frightened: 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
"That light. Posh, Celyne, over here! Numalar is right behind me!"
Poshment Underhill |
Posh hesitates, but decides to step forward and then entering flanking with Scarlet, lashing out with his rapier at the creature.
attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
crit-confirm?: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 = 19
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
"Take that! Let's cut 'em down!" he calls to Scarlet, cornering this creature between the two of them.
RPGGGM |
Eowyn Scarlet swings high and Merry Posh stabs the little wraithy guy in back of the leg. Unlike most people the grainy little daemon doesn't go down. To Posh it was like stabbing a loose bit of dusty cloth. Damage reduction 5.
Impossibly, the dirty gremlin's smile grows wider.
"Ular bizga akasi zarar bera olmaydi." It says in a voice like a hissed whisper in a crypt.
"So'ngra akasi, ularning yo'li bu erda tuproqqa yotadi." Intones the other hooded figure darkly.
Celyne reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Celyne falls as the floor opens beneath her and catches a grazing blow on a floor spike as she hits the bottom 10 feet below.
falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
1d4 ⇒ 1 rusty spike(s)
spike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Total damage = 7
Zokon perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Zokon notes a faint oily texture to the air ahead of him. It seems to be moving northward. It's one of those gelatinous thingies.
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (9) - 5 = 4

Looks at DR, looks at GM, looks at damage, looks back at DR. Gives the GM the middle finger.
Just for that, and because it should be obvious, and because no one speaks air elemental and I have rationalize spoiler tags somehow. Folks close enough to hear, can make a Sense Motive or Wisdom check (DC 8 - So Posh and Scarlet have a chance ;)) to figure out what the spooky little guys said to one another.
Don't forget some of you are still shaken/frightened/sickened.
Scarlet Scarab |
Woohoo! A chance!
Sense Motive, Sickened, Frightened: 1d20 - 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 1 - 2 - 2 = 1
lol
She spits up some more smoke.
"Wha-wha'd it say?"
Numalar Auritonius |
"Wha-wha'd it say?"
"I don't speak that language, but I doubt it was complimentary."
Numalar jabs his spear at the orange demon-thing. "Back, you misbegotten beast!"
Aid Another (help Scarlet's AC vs creature) -2 shaken, -4 cover: 1d20 + 0 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 0 - 2 - 4 = 2 Nope.
Numalar whispers to Posh, via the message spell:
"Perhaps Alchemist's fire? The splash won't hurt Scarlet."
Numalar whispers to Scarlet, via the message spell:
"If you fall back behind me, I can hit them both with fire. Otherwise... you have silver and cold iron weapons; one of those will likely work."
Normally I'd be an idiot for offering to stand between the barbarian and the monsters, but it seems Scarlet is pretty low on HP and I am at full.
@ GGGM: Could Scarlet move 10' and then delay the rest of her move? She could move back behind me, I could blast, then she could re-engage. Is that allowed?
@ Scarlet: I just looked at your sheet. You have switched to Mwk Studded Leather Armor, which has no ACP, but you still list the -2 ACP of your chain shirt in your skills. So your DEX and STR skills are 2 points better than what you currently have listed. Including acrobatics if you need to move around without getting AoOs...
Also: Did we ever decide who is holding the wand of CLW?

Zokon moves to the unrevealed tjunction away from the cube. He has a sunrod in hand.
Moving safely past the two squares threatened by the cube requires a DC 9 acrobatics check if you take the spaces at half speed, DC 19 if you attempt to tumble past at full speed. If you fail, you fail to get past and provoke and AoO. Otherwise, if you try to move past without dodging it just gets an AoO against Zokon as he attempts to pass. Just remember that if it hits there's more than immediate damage to worry about.
How do you want to proceed?
Ashen Path Nihilist |
orange: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
O: "Foolish gnome, your sorcerer's words will not avail you. All is dust, and soon you will be one with it!"
B: "Ular bilan gaplashish befoyda bo'ladi. Ular toza." He spits the last word in deliberate disgust.
The one with the crossbow opens his mouth and spits out a roil of wind laced with abrasive grit.
Scarlet, Numalar - Reflex save DC 13 for half (1 nonlethal), slashing damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
If you Fail You become sickened as well. In Scarlet's case it merely extends her previous sick for an additional round.
The other one who just spoke to you all in Common is apparently dry of foul gusty winds for the moment. Instead he produces a big, wavy knife or small short sword. He steps forward and jabs it at Scarlet with more strength than any person would guess the walking stick figure could muster.
Orange - small short sword v Scarlet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
But Scarlet sucks in and avoids the blow with practiced ease.

Reflex DC 13, -2 shaken: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 2 = 18
1 point of nonlethal.
Numalar quickly covers his face with his arm, and coughs.
Scarlet Scarab |
I am wearing the chain shirt now, so my ACP is -2.
Reflex Save, Sickened, Frightened: 1d20 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 2 - 2 = 6
Scarlet continues to be worn down. She realizes it's best to simply back off and let the sorcerer do his thing.
"Fine, but get behind me as soon as you can."
She takes a swing at the blue-clad mephit, since Posh is flanking with it.
Silver Warhammer, Flanking, SIckened, Frightened: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 - 2 - 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Then she tries to cartwheel back behind Numalar.
Acrobatics, Sickened, Fightened: 1d20 + 6 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 2 - 2 = 22
But instead she decides to wall kick over him. 'Cause why not?
RPGGGM |
The silvered warhammer splashes against the imp to little effect. It's like trying to hammer dust motes in a beam of sunlight. The little bits just seem to flow around the blow. Maybe a more violent blow might break it up but not now with her eyes and nose streaming, and looking as dirty as a chimney sweep at the end of a long day.
Then she tries to cartwheel back behind Numalar.
But instead she decides to wall kick over him. 'Cause why not?
"PARKOUR!"

Poshment Underhill |
Posh makes a 5ft step to make sure his light from the rapier continues to shine up the targets as Scarlet is no longer nearby to aid in combat, he attempts to remain in total defence against the creature.
AC should now be 21 due to a +4 dodge bonus. Got no other actions to do. I was going to aid in combat giving Scarlet a +2 to attack or AC, but as she's backed off I'm staying here to keep things...illuminating.
Zokon Santyev |
If message is still up.. GM?
"There is one of those cube monsters coming down the tunnel to you from the spiral stair.. quite slowly, but I can't get to you."
He says this in broken sentences if message can only take a few words at a time
Numalar Auritonius |
Message can handle any number of words, and it lasts 20 minutes per casting, and I can cast it over and over. The only limitation (aside from range) is that I can only cast it on a number of people aside from myself equal to my level, so to get everyone in the party I have to cast it three times, and not everyone can hear you. But Numalar can pass things on.
Numalar hears Zokon, and relays his message to the others, whispering.
"Zokon's route to us is cut off by one of the jellies. Zokon! Can you look for an alternate route? Be careful, but there are passages we didn't explore yet."
If I recall correctly my pattern was to cast it on you, Celyne and I, Scarlet, Alia, and I, and Post, Celyne and I, so Celyne ended up being doubled up.
Technically if I cast it 10 times everyone can talk to everyone. By the time I am 5th level I can get everyone in a single cast.
"Zokon: If you don't want to do that, maybe you could follow the jelly and see where it goes."
RPGGGM |
Zokon yeah Numalar can hear you. Though I didn't realize message raised the hearing DC for folks not messaged to 25. So Numalar the nihilist didn't hear what you said, though he may have heard unintelligible muttering. Not that that really matters to a nihilist. He would have said the same thing anyhow.
2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
The cube continues slowly on its way.

Zokon moved last round did the Acro rolls and I placed him on the map having moved half speed.. you need more? If it's the next turn use the below
Zokon moves forward into the area he's not seen before half speed and looking for traps/anything
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Celyne |
climb: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Celyne attempts to climb out of the pit, being careful not to fall on any spikes if she can't make the climb...
RPGGGM |

Nope. You're good. Normally you only need one roll to avoid provoking for moving past a foe.
Zokon moves forward into the area he's not seen before half speed and looking for traps/anything
All clear. Go ahead and move. Lemme know which fork you want to take.
RPGGGM |
Celyne attempts to climb out of the pit, being careful not to fall on any spikes if she can't make the climb...
Celyne slides back down. One move action spent.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
The DC to climb out of the trap is 20 (rough dungeon walls). The pit is only 10 feet deep. You could try and jump up (Acrobatics DC (without a running start) 16) and hook your fingers over the edge (move action) and then haul yourself up the rest of the way using the lip as a ledge (Climb DC 10, second move action). Also don't forget you have guidance to help.
Edit In fact if you want to try and make an acrobatics check (DC 16) to make the jump you can now, then I'll take your climb check as the check needed to haul yourself up.
Celyne |
acrobatics with guidance dc 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Numalar Auritonius |
Though I didn't realize message raised the hearing DC for folks not messaged to 25. So Numalar the nihilist didn't hear what you said, though he may have heard unintelligible muttering.
The DC to overhear the whispering is 25, so if the Demons were trying to figure out what was being said (by Zokon or by Numalar) that is their DC. But Numalar cast the spell and he can hear Zokon just fine. He would have to repeat what Zokon said for Scarlet, Alia, and Posh, though, since they are on separate castings of the spell - so if people want to communicate he kind of has to be the 'switchboard operator.'
"All right you misbegotten hellspawn. See how you like this!"
Numalar pops something in his mouth, and points his symbol at the creatures.
"Qa' quv!" he shouts. A gout of flame roars out of his mouth down the corridor.
Burning Hands Reflex DC 16: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 4 = 12 . using saltpeter.
Numalar coughs and sputters; he has turned deathly pale, and there is blood on his lips. "There's more where that came from, you little bastards."
GGGM: If Scarlet delays her action, can she come out of delay at the point where I act? So if I want to do a 5' step back, she can step forward 5' at the same time, and we switch places?
Zokon Santyev |
Moved, I forgot to do it before..gah!
RPGGGM |
GGGM: If Scarlet delays her action, can she come out of delay at the point where I act? So if I want to do a 5' step back, she can step forward 5' at the same time, and we switch places?
I think there's a teamwork feat that allows for that. But otherwise no. If you Delay you just wait and take your normal turn later in the initiative order. Readying would allow someone to for the cost of a standard action to take a standard, move, or swift action triggered by a specific action or condition. So she could move as Numalar moves into her square but that would be her standard action for the turn.
Flaming the winged goblin nearest Posh lunges for him, trying to shove him into the spike-lined pit.
(blue) unimproved bull rush v Posh: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Miss
But Posh is ready for him.
The other gremlin flails at Numalar scoring him with his big wavy knife.
(orange) short sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Hit
(orange) bony claw: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Miss

"AAAAGH!!" They yell in stereo.
"Hah!" Numalar coughs. "Fire works!"
Numalar is still chuckling when he gets stabbed with the wavy knife. "Ow! Want more, do ya?"
Scarlet Scarab |
"Alright, lemme at 'em!"
Scarlet's ready to go in for the kill. Maybe they don't resist cold iron?
Numalar Auritonius |
@ GGGM:
... So she could move as Numalar moves into her square but that would be her standard action for the turn.
I thought you could incorporate a 5' step with a readied action? Checking... ok, found it:
You can take a 5-foot step as part of your readied action, but only if you don't otherwise move any distance during the round.
@ Scarlet: I plan on trying to use my last burning hands on these guys before getting out of the way.

You can do that. Until blue moved up it would have required a 10-foot move to close with him. Though technically (and this overwrites even what I said above) were you to say 'I move into Scarlet's space' as your action and then in reaction, before you did Scarlet moved into yours she would be guilty of performing an illegal move--coming to a stop in a space occupied by another Small or larger-sized character in a tactical situation--a situation for which Paizo created a very specific feat. Anyway, I'll allow it this once and settle it for the next time later.
RPGGGM |
"Alright, lemme at 'em!"
Scarlet's ready to go in for the kill. Maybe they don't resist cold iron?
Also on the plus side, next round you won't be frightened anymore.

Perfect time for me to roll 2 1s, I can feel it!
Alia of the Blade |
"Tamris? You here? And Rain, too? I am happy to see the two of you...everybody else is in danger, down with that...skeleton king. We believed this place to be some ancient temple to Erastil, but I feel there's more to it, is it not?", Alia converses with Tamris, forgetting that he was not very talkative, but wanting to keep herself occupied without interrupting Ed's weaving of magic.
Spellcraft to read what Ed is doing-: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
, asking: "What Magic ARE you weaving, Ed?" and taking the break as an opportunity to weave a spell herself, calling into being a shimmering disc of force protecting her. (Casting Shield via Bonded Object) => +4 AC for 20 rounds
@swap places with ready: TECHNICALLY, it would work similar to the feat, without the FEAT, using a ready action. If Numalar does a normal movement, provoking(or using acrobatics to not provoke) and moves into Scarlets square, with movement left, simply moving through allies, then Scarlet could have her "ready action" trigger on the condition of "Numalar enters my square", and 5-foot step forward+attack. Then Numalar could forgo the remainder of his movement and end movement right there, in Scarlets former spot. Unlike the Teamwork-Feat, this needs a very specific setup, though, and prevents her from full-attacking or moving+attacking. My 2 cents :)
RPGGGM |
Celyne asks for divine guidance leaps and pulls herself over the lip of the pit. She's prone on the edge.
Scarlet waits for Numalar to do his thing.
Posh rears up to his full 3-feet and change and stands Posh strong.
Alia and company wait as "Ed" weaves some magic.
The cube does rolls on unseen in the dark.

The corridor Zokon is taking dead ends 10 feet in. There is a door to his left. It is barred with a bit of stout lumber pinned to pivot on one side. A dog can be heard whining behind it.

Tamris, the Warder |
"Tamris? You here? And Rain, too? I am happy to see the two of you...everybody else is in danger, down with that...skeleton king. We believed this place to be some ancient temple to Erastil, but I feel there's more to it, is it not?", Alia converses with Tamris, forgetting that he was not very talkative, but wanting to keep herself occupied without interrupting Ed's weaving of magic.
Tamris' expression grows grave at the mention of the 'skeleton king'. He draws his longsword and looks to Ed, but Ed's too busy with his magic to notice.
Rain meanwhile keeps a wary eye on Alia.
"What Magic ARE you weaving, Ed?"
Ed doesn't reply instead he concentrates on weaving the words of magic together though the tone of his words abruptly rise in annoyance at the interruption. He spends his standard action next round casting as well.
"Don't mind him. He's taciturn, but good to have with you in fight. We'll get your friends out. It is the least I can do for you all."
