Dragoncat |
Egan snarls and raises his scythe. "I owe you the beating of a lifetime, you pale-faced s!~~s. Come and get it!" He runs up to the second cultist (purposefully kicking the dead cultist's head as he moves) and swings...
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
...but his scythe is parried by the priest, who just chuckles evilly.
Nalun Elzrahar |
Nalun drops his bow and darts forward, drawing his rapier and attempting to flank the cultist Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Rapier: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (2) = 13 Power Attack, Favored Target, flanking
Aaaand the attack rolls continue...
Dragoncat |
Nalun's acrobatic leap into position is fluid and graceful. His swordsmanship is much less so. The cultist parries his rapier thrust and redirects it into the floor.
The cultist snorts in contempt before turning his scythe on Nalun, ignoring the two desperate prisoners attacking him.
Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
Damage *Divine Favour*: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5
The scythe catches on Nalun's buckler without hurting him.
The third cultist advances on Egan and swings at him...
Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18
Damage *Divine Favour*: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5
...cutting across his chest and drawing a lot of blood. Egan yells in rage, but it's becoming clear that he's badly wounded.
The fourth & sixth cultists utter more prayers, and this time their robes take on a blood-red edge.
The fifth cultist glares at Lyla and advances on her, bringing his scythe to bear and swinging at her head!
Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
His scythe cuts through the railing next to Lyla, barely missing her.
Demitri, Lyla, Ortik & Karri are up!
Karri Chouk |
Karri edges into the room and pulls a vestige of Legion, casting it at the bloodied cultist.
Acid Splash on #3, Melee, Cover: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 16 for Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Crit?: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 14 for Crit Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Lyla |
Lyla tumbles away from the cultist and lands on her feet, throwing a flask of acid at him.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Ranged touch attack - acid flask: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Dragoncat |
Karri's glob of acid hits the cultist in the face, and he goes down screaming in agony. He claws at his face a few times before he finally expires, his flesh melting off his face and pooling around him.
Lyla's leap catches the other cultist off-guard, and she manages to throw a flask of acid hard enough that it shatters against his chest. His robes sizzle and start to come apart from the acid.
Ortik is up!
Ortik Gutterrat |
I always forget I have this damn spear! I should be using it.
Dropping his warhammer, Ortik advances into the room, drawing the magic shortspear and stabbing at the cultist on the ground. "Since you worship the Pallid Princess, why don't I send you on to meet her!" While his strike draws blood, it's a glancing blow, hardly the decisive strike he'd hoped for.
Attack, Str dmg: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 = 24
Damage, Str dmg: 1d6 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 1 = 3
Dragoncat |
The cultist flinches as Ortik's hammer comes down on his shoulder.
Egan, gripped by a mix of anger and fear, turns his scythe on the cultist that tried to gut him and swings his scythe once more.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7
This time, he focuses enough to widen the wound Ortik already inflicted.
Corporal Griggs |
Griggs turns and runs up the stairs on the north wall, getting up to the catwalk to engage the fourth cultist. "When I'm done with you, not even your name will make it into the dead-book's black chapters, berk." He growls, leaping into position.
Acrobatics *ACP*: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 = 22
Dragoncat |
Round 3
Ylanna grumbles in irritation. "Oh, Hells with this." She advances on the fifth cultist, clearly fed up with waiting.
She punctuates her step towards him with a vicious swing.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Unfortunately, her swing catches on the railing and stops short.
Nalun is up!
Dragoncat |
The cultists refuse to surrender, fighting madly for each bit of ground they lose. The surrounded cultist turns his eyes on Egan and swings his scythe!
Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
The prisoner stumbles back and away from the scythe's sharp blade.
The fourth cultist takes a step away from Griggs, eying the vat of bubbling fluids beneath him. With one smooth motion, the cultist dunks his scythe blade in the fluid and holds it aloft, before channeling power into it and throwing it at Nalun!
Ranged Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
The fluid-riddled blade narrowly misses Nalun's head before returning to his hands.
The fifth cultist forgoes such a strategy and tries to cut Ylanna down...
Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage *Divine Favour*: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
...and manages to grievously wound her. The woman staggers away, clutching her bleeding side.
The sixth cultist dips his scythe in the bubbling, reeking fluid beneath his part of the catwalk and throws it at Lyla's head!
Ranged Attack *Divine Favour*: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Unfortunately, his scythe misses her completely.
#6 Persists For: 1d4 ⇒ 2 blows
Demitri, Lyla, Karri & Ortik are up!
Lyla |
Lyla dodges the flying blade and turns around to face th cultist attacking Ylanna. To her calculations, the two are too close to each other, and a flask of acid would quite probably injure Ylvanna too. She makes a quick decision to change tactis, and pulls out the loaded corssbow. She takes aim at Ylvanna's agressor and calls him out just before she pulls the trigger. "Hey, why don't you pick on someone you're size—like me, for instance! 'Cause you're a small man, got it? I... never mind."
Ranged Attack: crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 plus poison
After the shot, she uses the lever to reload the repeating crossbow as a move action.
Nalun Elzrahar |
Dragoncat |
Out of writers block!
Egan turns and runs up the southern stairs to help Ylanna, who steps to the side and swings at her cultist opponent!
Chop: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Unfortunately, her swing proves ineffective as the cultist locks his scythe blade with hers.
Corporal Griggs |
Griggs advances on his cultist and wordlessly swings at him.
Chop *Favoured Enemy*: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18
Damage! *Favoured Enemy*: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 + 2 = 8
This time, when he isn't chattering, he manages to rake the scythe's blade along the cultist's leg.
Round 4: Nalun is up!
Dragoncat |
The cultists rally and continue their fight. The fourth cultist swings at Griggs, his scythe dripping with vile fluids. The red edge on his scythe fades as he swings...
Chop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Uh Oh: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Phew: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7
...and lands a solid blow on the corporal's chest. The man winces, but presses onward anyway.
The fifth cultist swings his blade at Ylanna's neck...
Chop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
...and she ducks it with ease.
The sixth cultist turns his attention from Lyla and focuses on Nalun. Without even a whisper, the man's scythe arcs towards the bounty hunter's neck...
Chop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
...but the blade gets caught on the railing behind him. He winces and works the weapon free.
Demitri, Lyla, Karri & Ortik are up!
Karri Chouk |
Cursing Legion's near absence, Karri slings another glob of acid. However, the blob fizzles out just as it reaches the priest.
Acid on #4, Melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 = 6 for Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Lyla |
Lyla jumps over the gap between the catwalks and lands on the walkway connecting the two sides. While spinning in the air, she takes aim at the cultist threatening Ylanna and fires again, making every effort to show off. "Yeah, I'll show you 'mediocre'!"
Move action- Acrobatics to bridge the gap: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (1) + 37 = 38 whew go jump

Ylanna presses her attack on her cultist target...
Chop: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10
...and her scythe blade rakes along the man's belly, causing him to double over and scream in pain.
Egan pumps his fist when he sees Ylanna land a solid blow.
Round 5: Nalun is up!
Dragoncat |
Nalun's rapier slips past a chink in the priest's armour, skewering him through a lung. The man's eyes widen and he coughs out some blood.
The cultists all hop away from their opponents and utter prayers to the Pallid Princess...
CLW *#4*: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
CLW *#5*: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
CLW *#6*: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Most of their wounds heal with a quick application of divine power.
Lyla, Demitri, Karri & Ortik are up!
Karri Chouk |
"Funny. They seem afraid to die. Maybe they can see their true rewards now?" Karri sneers at the priests and hurls another glob of acid.
Acid Splash #4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Lyla |
Lyla finds herself squeezed between two of the priests. She hops onto the rail and jumps away from their reach, drawing a flask of acid from her pocket in the meantime. Landing on her feet, she throws the flask at the priest that mocked her. That guy is getting on my nerves.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Move Action - Acrobatics to jump: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (6) + 37 = 43

Corporal Griggs |
Karri's glob of acid burns the hem of the cultist's robes, while the fifth cultist goes down under a flurry of broken glass, acid and blessed weapons.
Griggs swings his scythe once more!
Chop *Favoured Enemy, Guidance*: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage *Favoured Enemy*: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 + 2 = 12
This time, his swing nearly drives the fanatic to his knees.
Dragoncat |
Egan tramples the dead cultist in his haste to ambush the fourth one...
Chop *Flanking*: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15
...and he stumbles before he reaches the man, his scythe *swishing* over his head.
Ylanna runs up to the cultist facing Nalun and swings her scythe!
Chop: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
And her swing is parried without the cultist even turning to face her.
Round 6: Nalun is up!
Nalun Elzrahar |
Nalun steps closer to the cultist, his rapier flashing

Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 Power Attack, Favored Target, if flank then add 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage
Dragoncat |
Nalun's rapier skewers the priest through the eye, and he topples backwards into the vat of bubbling fluids beneath the catwalk.
The last remaining priest glances over to the doors on the other side of the room and yells "BREAK THE GLASS!" before swinging his scythe at Egan...
Chop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
...and missing him.
Demitri, Karri, Lyla & Ortik are up!
Lyla |
"Oh, f***!" Lyla leaps towards the door, flying over Nalun's door, and opens it to see what the priests inside are doing. She turns to Nalun and says "'Break the glass' means 'release-those-nasty-creatures-so-they-can-kill-everyone'. Things are about to get serious."
Move action: Acrobatics to jump: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (11) + 37 = 48
