Rappan Athuk set in Nirmathas, Golarion

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Once you get into that first opening you can make a know-dungeon check for me.

Nibb, looking that no threat is approaching the party in the near future, will move towards the dwarves to D-7 and will take a look at the battle site.

Perception check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Nibb wedges his body into a small area and notices there is a low crate to his left which acts as an impromptu barricade. The cavern widens up and he can see two goblins in combat with the dwarfs.

As the wicked drum beat continues to work the goblin crew up they press their assault.

The goblin in B9 slashes at arnog with his dogslicer,

GB 1, dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5;damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

While the fearless sergeant presses smells the coppery scent of fresh blood from Varl,

longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

After the attack, the goblin 5 ft steps to E 10, while his companion steps to C10. Decided to do the 5ft step after the fact, to give Argrim a little break from the flanking.

Map Update

Karnog steps up to bash the goblin who swung at him.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 attack; 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Argrim, watch your back!"

The mighty karnog kegmeister misses his swing, the squirrelly bugger slipped away.

Vatilda growls and nudges Rammelorn in an attempt to get him moving.

>map update repost<

Argrim saw the flank from a mile away. He swung at the former archer and juked to put his back to a wall. Hopefully, if the archer went down, Karnog was free to cast.

He cursed in Dwarven as his battleaxe strikes the floor and vibrates out of his hands.

==========================================================================
swing two-handed at C10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
if hit, damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
5-foot step to C11

fumble DC 10 Dex check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
No bonus for holding the weapon in two hands?

Careful Argrim! Varl yells out stepping up to flank the flanker (B10) and taking a swing at the goblin attacking Argrim's back.

>SA: Attack C10 w/PA 1 + 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ 1 + (2) - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 = 11
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Argrim outstanding a "1" I think you are the first dex check of the of the game. roll a d20 and add you dex mod to it, DC 10 and above you hang on to your weapon, below Oh No. #2 on the houserule tab.

RD 4 MAP

Good! Now I hope this helps...

Nibb moves a couple steps 5-feet step (if possible) to C-8 and upon seeing the goblin in E-10 he shoots... hoping that his good luck can guide the bolt.

Swift action to use Archaeologist's Luck.

Shoot!:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Then, he will reload the crossbow.

Round 4: Into the Cave

Just die allready! Varl yells, hacking away at the goblin who attacking his friend.

>SA: Attack C10 w/PA 1 + 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ 1 + (10) - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 = 19
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

Karnog swings once more at the goblin currently surrounded by dwarves.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 attack; 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

if he gets smooshed before, will cast CLW from scroll onto Argrim. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 healing

Rammellorn takes the five foot step and attacks goblin at C10
Rammellorn grips his long axe tightly and extends himself to reach the goblin just ten feet in front of him.
Long Axe attack[/dice: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Vatilda ducks between Rammellorn and the tunnel wall as he moves, lets her torch drop to the ground, then quickly scans for how she can best help. She begins to chant and gesture again, but with a more dramatic display; daring the nearby goblins to swing at her while she infuses Argrim with healing energy.

move to (D,9)?, cast CLW on Argrim. CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

>current map repost<

Round 4

Rammellorn attacks the goblin again with more fervor than before because of the miss. Strike True!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Please help me out when you move by telling me a hex number.

Rd 3 concluding actions:

Rammellorn since you are using a 10 foot reach weapon, I assume you moved to C8 to attack the creature in C10.

[ooc]Waiting confirmation on Vatilda's action.

MAP

I think Vatilda needs an updated map with Argrim in his new square, in order to confirm her action. Because her current action (which I appreciate) of healing Argrim would draw 2 AOO's if she doesn't tumble.

While I'm posting in the gameplay OOC, would one of the three dwarves in full plate get in front of those archers to draw the fire away from the lightly armored arrow-butt who will probably drop this round. You will need him to squeeze through the rocks to get the gobbos. Cheers!

Apologies, I did move to C8. I will post move in future. Posting from phone stinks.

I also cannot see map from my phone so I have to be vague sometimes.

Round 5 I will do that for you Argrim.

Thanks for helping out with the move clarifcation Rammellorn. PDA are hard to read maps at times.

typing by a pool now on my surface, so I can't update maps till I get on my laptop.

Good! Now I hope this helps...

Nibb moves a couple steps 5-feet step (if possible) to C-8 and upon seeing the goblin in E-10 he shoots... hoping that his good luck can guide the bolt.

Swift action to use Archaeologist's Luck.

Shoot!:1d20+6
Damage:1d6+1

Then, he will reload the crossbow.

Nibb you can't move to C-8 since Rammallorn is in that hex. From your current position I will use your attack roll agaisnt the other goblin that is in C10 and that shot puts the goblin down.

Varl you attacked the goblin in C10 in the 4th round but it's already dead, so I'm going to let you take your action again.

Karnog the goblin is already down in C10 and Vatilda is in the hex next to Argrim and cast CWL, you can ajsut your 4th RD action.

RD4 MAP

Rd 4: Goblins

Goblin 6 is an archer and he takes aim at Varl. Feeling the the beat of the drum.

longbow: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
His aim is true and the nasty arrow pierces the dwarf.

Goblin 4 continues his drum beat and holds his action, until his foes get closer.

Goblin 3 takes a 5 ft step to D9 and attacks Rammellorn with his dirty pitted longsword.

longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Missing the protected warrior.

Seeing his compatriots squashing goblins and healing dwarves, Karnog moves over and swings his own hammer.

Move to D10, smash gobbo in E10.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 attack; 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 damage

Karnog moves into D10 and his attack misses the goblin in E10.

The Goblin in E10 will take his AoO on Karnog,

longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

He misses his AoO.

Round 4

Argrim smiles and nods at Vatilda as she pulls out several arrows from his body and closes their exterior wounds, "Thanks." He still felt like he fell down a pit trap. Oh wait, was that a minute ago when that happened?

He thinks of and pulls out his wand of infernal healing from his Haversack. Then, he attempts to work it on himself. C'mon. I really need this.

When it fizzles, he shrugs and asks Vatilda if she can work this thing offering her the wand.

________________________________________________
Use Magic Device DC 20: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Argrim (LN) I see you have the infernal healing wand which is ok but everyone needs to know, I do have a quirk or houserule with that spell when it comes to Chaotic or Good aligned characters. I don't permit it to work for chaotic orTgood aligned characters since it uses unholy water or devil's blood. to me it's too contradictory. I'll post this under houserules in the game thread.

RD 4: Remaining goblin

The last goblin with a longbow will fire an arrow.

The goblin lets an arrow fly a the wounded dwarf (Argrim),

arrow: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

DC Check to see if the string breaks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

The bow string twangs but noes not break.

Round 4: Into the Cave

Waddling forward on his stumpy legs, Varl moves around the side of the cave towards the goblin currently locked in combat with Argrim. Fancy a taste of steel, runt? Varl yells, swinging the axe towards the little green menace.

>MA: Move to E-11
>>SA: SA: Attack E10 1d20 + 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 6 + 1 = 21
>>>Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
My retcon for round four. I would also like to know if during my movement I can see what is in the cave to the east of us.

Round 5: Into the Cave
Why won’t you die already! Varl yells whipping his axe around in a scything arc towards the pugnacious goblin warrior.

>SA: SA: Attack E10 1d20 + 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 + 1 = 13
>>Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Rd4: Varl

By the time your action comes in Rd 4, the goblin moved to D 9, so you can move to C9 and attack, or C11>D11> E10. Since you want to look down the east hall you really need to move to E11 to get the POV angle. (Karnog moved into the D10, I know he is after you but I don't want to recreate those actions)

Your attack hits for 6 HP

RD 5 - Varl

Your attack fails on the goblin.

RD 4: DMPC Kalim

He will risk the AOO from the goblin in D9, hoping he does not have combat reflexes, and will move to B10 to get some room. There is no AOO on Kalim.

RD 5 MAP

RD 5:

Karnog steps back before applying the blessing of Torag on his wounded ally, Varl.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 healing from CLW scroll.

"We're still in this fight, Brother! "

Varl you took your RD 5 action here:

Varl's RD 5 post

RD 5: Goblin 6 and 4

The goblin down the southern cavern passage aims and shoots at Varl,

longbow: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Another arrow digs in deep.

goblin 4, continues his drum beat and holding until someone approaches closer. The death beat of the drum keeping the goblins aggressive.

RD 5:

Karnog steps back before applying the blessing of Torag on his wounded ally, Varl.

1d8+1 healing from CLW scroll.

"We're still in this fight, Brother! "

Your at the end of the round so, I'll hold this until it's closer to your turn. To cast from the scroll will draw an AOO (assuming the goblin is still alive when it's your action), you should consider casting defensively or 5 ft stepping away.

Round 5

Argrim thanks Vatilda for the cures and returns the wand to his Haversack. He grabs his battle axe and shifts into the Eastern corridor. He then drops prone to avoid more arrows.

============================
Move action: put wand in Haversack

Free action: 5-ft. step to D11.

UPDATED RD 5 MAP

Yeah, that's what I intended: Step Back, Cast, allow others to get up some gobbo grill

Round 5

Vatilda takes relief in Argrim's response to her using the wand. With no reason for him to realize she could not understand him, she relied on assumption derived from the situation at hand.

sense motive to figure out what Argrim wanted of me: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
