Game Master Merisal The Risen

Deyno unleashes a burst of electrical energy on the vulture woman who howls as the sparking electricity envelops her. She nearly drops the boy but is still flying

Faeran shoots again, this time at the boy grabber since the singer moved out of sight.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Faeran's arrow strikes the creature producing yet another howl of pain the creature drops the boy and looks to ascend to safety

But Elado's turn in the initiative will come first before it moves away

Unhand the boy!

Elado concentrates on the bird woman and motions with his hands in the hope of confusing her.

Cast Bungle on Boy grabber. -20 on next d20 roll. DC 15 Will negates.

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

With ragged wing beats the one at ground level begins to move slowly upwards at an angle heading away from the statue provoking an aoo from Deyno if he threatens (currently only 25 feet in the air but you would have to move 30 feet to be directly beneath her. She has flown 40 feet at an angle away from you

"STOP that" shouts the figure by the mouth as she picks up a small rock and begins to plummet downwards releasing it to fall towards Faeran
dropped rock attack vs touch: 1d20 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 10 = 4
dropped rock damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

The rock thuds into the sand as Faeran has enough time to step aside

A third winged humanoid emerges from the cave still singing

The boy begins to climb up after the others who are just getting to a tricky bit which will need a dc 15 climb check next turn. Tholands head begins to clear.

Lulwa and the other climbers (enthralled)
Tholand (wondering why he's climbing)

"I would give everything I own..." mutters Lulu, climbing towards the vulture lady thingies.

Elado moves within range of the lower vulture and sends another frosty ray.

ray of frost: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

unfortunately, no AOO. He only has claws when he is raging. I should pick up a melee weapon for instances like this.

Deyno mutters something in Draconic and swings his arm. Three blades of force spring from his forearm and flies towards the one descending with the rock.

magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 4) + 3 = 13 range of 150 feet

Faeran shoots at the singer again.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Elado drops the would be boy grabber with a frost ray. There is a screech from the highest harpy and the darts of imaginary force* and Faerans arrow strike the plummeting one. She in turn falls some more and tries to drop her morning star on Faeran before moving down to just 10 feet above Tholand and 40 feet above those on the floor.
The one at the top drops a small rock at Elado. "You will pay for that hu MAN" As she plumets downwards you see she has scars across her throat.

dropped morning star vs Faeran touch: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 4 = 18
dropped object damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Ask and ye shall recieve
dropped rock vs Elado touch: 1d20 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 10 = 11
this rock thuds into the sand

Realising their steady progress has stopped the climbers 30 feet up make a climb check
salif climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Hokama climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Lulwa climb: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Salif and Lulwa start to fall as Hokama edges up the cliff

Tholand you may make an attempt to catch one of them as they fall. Make a melee touch attack to grab one and then a climb check dc20 to stop you both falling. Fail by more than 5 on the climb check and you both fall (so a climb check of 15 -19 means you cant keep hold of them but don't fall yourself)

Deyno you do not have magic missile on your list of spells.
Care to retake your turn? Or explain why you can cast magic missile

Faeran
Elado
Deyno
Tholand

Scarred throat
Arrow cushion (-6)Lost morning star
Lulwa

Elado scrambles on the ground level trying to avoid falling objects and allies. If someone were to fall near him, we would give them the meager medical attention he can offer.

Ready a stabilizing heal check if someone were to fall close.
heal: 1d20 ⇒ 16

I think 'Raging Deyno' may have the spell list, as he can only blood-cast.

wheeeeeeeeee....

Faeran shoots at the singer again.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 plus another 1 if within 30'
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 plus another 1 if within 30'

will change it up cast another shocking grasp and hold the charge.

Is Lulu enthralled while falling? I.e. can she make a climb attempt while falling? How ironic that a telekineticist may fall to her doom...

Huh what's goin on?Oi! How'd I get up 'ere?!
Melee vs Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Tholand' reflexes kick in as he sticks a stiff arm out and snags Lulu out of mid air!
Got ye lass, now hop on mi back!

NIIIIICE!!!!!

Faeran shoots again and adds another arrow to the creature. Deyno waits with spell at the ready and Elado rushes to stabilise the fallen Salif.
Tholand meanwhile shoots out a hand to make a very impressive catch of Lulwa.

Three arrows swoops to attack Faeran with her talon like feet
talon attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27
talon damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
and lands a blow on the half elven archer

Whereas scarred throat swoops down on Elado Screeching curses "You killed my daughter prepare to DIE!"
Morning Star attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 31
morning star damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Morning Star Crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 22
morning star crit damage: 2 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ 2 + (4) + 1 = 7
Her furious attack staggers Elado but the blow also reverberates back through her and she struggles to maintain her flight
She has charged so is easier to hit

Hokama stops climbing and holds on for dear life. The boy also stays exactly where he is.

Initiative bold are up and not enthralled

Elado (-7)
Tholand
Lulwa
Deyno
Faeran(-4)

Arrow cushion Harpy(-10)
Scarred Mother

Both harpies are now in reach of those at ground level

Elado you have had a nights rest so any damage from the first two fights should be clear

Elado crumbles under the blows of the morningstar.

stabilize: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

ah, should have been a minus 1. same result. i bleed.

Elado you have had a nights rest so any damage from the first two fights should be clear

Or in other words your level 1 sorcerer to a crit to the face and was still standing at high tier

Ah, in that case i'll take a 5ft step and blast scarred throat with a Ray of frost.

Elado takes a stunning strike to the chest and staggers back, lifting a limp arm to fire off another frosty bolt.

RayofFrost: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I could swear that Lulu was down to like, 7/13 HP, but I could be wrong. Maybe I didn't include rest..

Lulu's eyes snap into focus with a start, and her blissful expression is immediately transformed into a scowl. She pulls a shard of rock off the carven stone statue and hurtles it at the winged creature just below her.

Blast, PBS: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
for: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"You lying #$%bird! I'm going to pull your feathers off and put your beak in a coffee-grinder!" she snarls, releasing the shard at impressive speeds.

Tholand starts descending the mountain. He looks to see if there are any loose rocks befor the decent. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Seeing nothing wrong, he begins.
Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Faeran takes a step back and shoots at the pincushion again.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 16
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Deyno moves over to assist Elado with his bird problem.

attack vs touch: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
shocking grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 6, 5) = 22

Elado crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Ray frost crit damage: 6 + 1d3 + 3 ⇒ 6 + (1) + 3 = 10

Elado steps away and delivers a perfectly placed icy blast to his foe. Deyno also moves up and delivers another startling burst of electric energy and the harpy screams in anger and pain. It flees ground an heads for the safety of the air

As Tholand makes his way down the statue, Lulwa on his back unleashes energy that slams into the one pestering Faeran. The energy twists the creature around and straight int Faerans arrow. It delivers another sream of pain. It swoops forward and attempts to grab Faeran's bow from his hands

disarm attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

With another screech at its failure it takes to the air

Both the disarm attempt and the move away provide AOO from pin cushion. Scarred mother withdrew without provoking aoo

Hokama and the boy continue to hold on

Elado (-7)
Tholand
Lulwa
Deyno
Faeran(-4)

Arrow cushion Harpy(-21)
Scarred Mother (-32)

didn't realize i critted. sorry about that and thanks for taking care of it.

Elado's grin of satisfaction quickly vanishes as the targets flee out of range. He scrambles around looking for the comfort of his comrades and prepares to fire off a ray if one of the vultures comes within range.

Tholand keeps descending. Ye keep 'em off me lass and we'll be fine. As Tholand is climbing down he notices a blue streak wiz by and slam the Harpy. Oi! That's it lad!
Elado for MYPC! Lol that's like 3 crits on a cantrip!!!
Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Elado readies an action as Tholand reaches the bottom of the statue

bold to act
Elado (-7) Readied
Tholand
Lulwa
Deyno
Faeran(-4)

Arrow cushion Harpy(-21)
Scarred Mother (-32)

Faeran, keeping his hands firmly on his bow, fires at the pincushion again...

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

You keep coming down here I am going to pluck your feathers one by one Deyno shouts at the creatures.

intimidate to demoralize, scarred mother: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Lol, I forgot that I had a Talisman of Beneficial Winds, and would have Feather Fall-en down. Anyhow, thanks Tholand!

Blast, no PBS darn it: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
for: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Lulu flings a bit of rock at the bird-woman, to no effect.

This may be the worst dice rolling of any game I've had on here...

Elado scrambles at the base of the statue gasping from exhaustion as he barely clings to consciousness eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the fracass.

The pin cushion swoops down and again tries to grab Faeran's bow the icy blast from Elado catching it but it still tries to wrestle the bow from Faeran

disarm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

It cries in frustration but it has misjudged the distance and is struggling to gain height as it tries to fly away in melee reach and having provoked an aoo

The mother flies back to the mouth above singing a mournful and haunting song

boy will: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Hokama will: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Lulwa will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

It appears to be drawing Lulwa, the merchant and his slave back up the statue. Fortunately Hokama is past the difficult bit

SUCK FROST, BIRD! Elado sends, what he hopes to be, the final blast of cold at the vulture person.

ray of frost: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

confirming, but something's gotta be busted.

confirmation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 85 + 1d3 + 3 ⇒ 5 + (3) + 3 = 11

The ice shoots from Elado again and this time the pin cushion falls. The haunting voice above neither cracks nor stops. If she has seen her other daughter fall she gives no sign

Tholand will try to keep Luke's from climbing back up. Oi! Get back 'ere ye!
Str Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

"I have to go, Thoooooland!" Lulu's eyes are once again all pupil, dilated and entranced, her mouth moving along to the song.

Sorry that should say Lulwa lol stupid auto correct.

Faeran readies a shot if the mother shows herself again...

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tholand grapples Lulwa which stops her climbing at least. Faeran's arrow strikes the mother before it can reach the safety of the cave. It manages to both continue its song and gain the cave. Despite Dyenos best taunts. It emerges with a small chest in its hands and begins to fly down towards you.

Hokama continues climbing but the boy is not so lucky with the steep bit
boy climb check: 1d20 ⇒ 7

falling damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10
He hits the desert floor and lies still
Lulwa tries to get away from tholand
cmb: 1d20 ⇒ 10
but fails

Lulwa
Mother (-36)
Faeran (-4)
Tholand
Elado(-7)
Deyno

FAeran rushes to the boy, and attempts to heal him.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Elado stands over the fallen boy by Faeran and readies a Ray of frost if the remaining vulture were to close.

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The boy recovers from the healing magic and gets up and moves back to wards the wall looking up at the harpy.

The harpy descends and hurls the chest towards Elado just as she comes into his range
chest attack on Elado: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 4 = 23
damage on Elado: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

The box crashes in to Elados shoulder as the ice hits the harpy in the face. It too plummets to the floor and falls beside Elados prone form
Hokama climbs down a little in thrall to the harpies voice still but this soon passes and he finds himself 40 feet up a statue and no way to climb back down safely.

Elado stabilisation check: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (17) - 3 = 14

combat over. Not sure what your con mod is but applied the -3 modifier and was going to look it up if relevant
So we have
Elado (11 damage) Unconscious stable
Faeran (4 damage)
Boy (1 damage)
Drover (11 damage) Unconscious stable

The contents of the chest are spilled over the floor 40 gp, a map of the nearby Silken Way where it passes through the Zho Mountains (with Gaspar’s personal seal on it), and a bejewelled masterwork kukri worth 400 gp recognisable as part of Gaspar and Mahmoud’s weapons shipment. The chest itself was worth 20 gp or so.

Lulu shakes her head. "This is the worst caravan ever," she grumbles. "Hokama! Hold on a bit! I'll send you some rope!"

She pulls out her 50' silk rope and ties a rock to it, then flings it up to him telekinetically.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Ha, that makes it if hitting the square he's in is AC5.

Hokama calls "Thats good but How do I use that" He stares at the rope and tries to summon up the courage to let go of his hold on the rock and grab it.

"You tie it on to something...argh! Can any of you fancy people fly or cast Feathers or whatever it's called?" . Lulu spits at the harpy corpse.

Faeran pulls out a wand of cure light and begins doling out healing, starting with the unconsious folks

clw elado: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
clw elado: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
clw drover: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
clw drover: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

deeming the rest, including self, as not injured enough to warrant healing right now, he holds the wand ready in case Hokama is injured getting down.

Can Tholand climb up and assist the man down? Or maybe anchor the rope so it looks taught and sturdier? If either is viable that's what Tholand will do[/ooc]
Aid Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Oi! Come on down lad, I be raised in the Mountains I'll help yea down.

Tholand can indeed climb up and assist the man down without further incident. With the drover and Elado now conscious you are ready to move on and leave the abandoned temple.
