The Eye of Eons (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Just FYI, that's not really the rule as I understand it. I posted the relevant text. A Tower Shield isn't armor or clothing. It's a moot point since he passed his Reflex.

I'm getting the impression it is somewhat of a grey area.
They're not worn like a suit of armor, nor are they held like a regular weapon.
It feels like more of a weapon cord thing for AC, in this situation.

Sivar will attack Red while he is distracted with his blastified eyes.

Power attack Fauchard+df: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d10 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Tower shields are not strapped they are generally centre grip.. with a strap over the shoulder to help hold the weight

It would be a different thing if they had a locked gauntlet, but those are only made for weapons.

Let's treat it like a weapon cord for now, with all mechanics grease imposes.

Sivar moves northeast, then unleashes a strike from his fauchard.
Red goes down.
---------------
The leader finishes his spellcasting, and a great fiendish boar of unnatural size appears near Grint & Sivar. It looks tougher than a textbook dire boar.

1 Grint, 2 Sivar: 1d2 ⇒ 2
The beast immediately attacks Sivar with its tusks.
Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 Dmg, smite good: 2d6 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1) + 12 + 5 = 20
The boar's impact is heavy, causing Sivar to seek rebalancing on his footing.

The leader moves east.
----------------
Father Burdock
----------------
Duergar (both -14, blind 4,3)

It becomes more clear to those near the duergar, that the runes on their helmets, resemble the gate and winding path you saw on the cult's members before.

"Grr... damn duergar, why would they fall in line with those cultists?!"

Burdock moves over to Sivar and turns a spell of strength to curative magic.

Turning Bull's Strength to CMW

CMW @ Siivar: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 7) + 6 = 20

The influence of the cult stretches far.

Both duergar, having finished their muttering, grow to larger size.
Blue, hearing something stop near him, makes a swing at Father Burdock.

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7
1d100 ⇒ 94
The axe hits the floor at Father Burdock's feet.
Green slowly moves north, and takes total defense.

Duergar (both -14)
(Blinded 3,2)

Grint 5-foot steps north-east, reloads and fires a bolt at the leader.
Single Bolt, Moved, Deadly Aim, PBS: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

If they were casting or using a ex ability aren't they subject to AoO?

Because the boar is large can I strike at a part that is 10 ft away?

@ Sivar: The duergar were casting in round 2.
I don't know if that works, but i'd think it wouldn't, reach & up close like this.
@ Grint: The leader is still invisibile. I'll take that bolt vs the boar, if you don't mind.

Grint steps away, and aims his crossbow at the boar attacking Sivar.

(Squeeling roar)

Duergar (both -14)
Blinded 3,2

Sivar 5 ft steps back and stabs at the blue duergar

Power attack Fauchard+df: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 301d10 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Power attack Fauchard+df crit confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d10 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Elsa steps from behind her ice shield and gathers elemental power. She unleashes it at the nearby Duergar.

Blast: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage: 3d6 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 4) + 2 + 4 + 1 = 17*1.5=25 cold dam and DC 17 reflex or be entangled.

I reckon you're going for blue, Elsa.
He's still hiding behind his towershield, given he passed that save.

Sivar strikes down blue, the fauchard comes down hard into the neck of the dwarf, and it goes into the torso, before Sivar pulls it out with a sickening *shlick*

Elsa, going for the boar, or greasing green's shield?

I'll take greasing his shield, since opens him as a second target for her frozen-ness.

Reflex green DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Caught by surprise of sudden slipperyness of his shield's hand bracer, the duergar's shield slips from his grasp, only hanging partially by the bracer on his shoulder.

No block and no shield bonus.
-----------------
Leader..
Somewhere there is low level speech.

A dagger with a tentacle like grip appears near Elsa.
Stabbity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 Force dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Elsa steps aside, and the dagger misses its target.

The dire boar steps up to Sivar.
Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Smite good: 2d6 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + 12 + 5 = 24
This time, Sivar is prepared, and he taps the boar's snout with the pole of his weapon, causing the great beast discomfort.

---------------------
Father Burdock
---------------------
Green (blinded 2)

Burdock steps back slightly to safely cast a spell. "Torag, grant me your runes to shield us from this fiendish beast!"

Communal Protection from Evil upon himself and Siivar.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

By Father Burdock's humble request, Torag's blessig causes a faint shimmer upon himself and Sivar,providing some extra protection.
-----------
Green tries to get a hold of his shield again.
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23, and he does.
Placing his shield once again in front of him.

Grint takes a 5-foot step east, reloads and fires a bolt at the boar.

Single Bolt, Deadly Aim, PBS, Moved: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 261d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13

Green (blind 1)

Sivar steps back and away from Elsa so he can have room to hit the boar

Power attack Fauchard+df: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d10 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Botting Elsa

With Sivar's swing going of target, Elsa targets a patch underneath green's feet.

"One way or another, -on your knees- to me."
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
The duergar remains standing.

The leader mutters some incantation.
Grint can make another perception, trying to get a bearing on his location.

The dagger jabs again at Elsa.
Stabbity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
A close call, but Elsa avoids it.

"How DARE you!"

The boar (-20) steps closer once again.
Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Dmg, smite good: 2d6 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 + 5 = 25
Grievous would the wound be, but it's an epic fail...does Sivar sport a smile underneath that bandage?
--------------------
Father Burdock
--------------------
Green (blind 1)

Burdock steps back, and chants a simple blessing of Torag.

"The clanging of fire-forged steel,
the gift of Torag to his people,
the heartbeat of all dwarvenkind."

Casting bless, for 6 minutes of +1 to hit and +1 to fear saves

Torag's blessing upon the party, more hitting enabled!

Green takes a total defense, knowing full well slippery surfaces and towershields don't match, especially when being blinded.

Boar splitting continues, with Sivar dishing out another 12 to the monstrous boar.

Grint reloads, 5-foot steps south-east then fires a bolt at the Boar.
Single Bolt, Deadly Aim, Moved, PBS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 121d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 7

Sorry GM. Thanks for the bot

Elsa creates a shield of ice between herself and the dagger.

Grint, according to the map, you're trying to 5t step through a wall. :P

Grint's bolt bounces off the boar's tusk.
Elsa says no to dagger poking, and puts a fine window of ice between the two of them.
----------------
The leader is casting some more.
Grint, you can make another roll to try and get a reading on his whereabouts.

The dagger taps on the window, then moves around it towards Elsa.
Stabbity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Poke poke: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
And it manages to deal 2 dmg, as it hits Elsa on the arm.

The boar (-32) steps up towards Father Burdock & Sivar
Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Dmg, smite good: 2d6 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 12 + 5 = 22
Its prime time seems to have passed, as the boar's attack yet again misses.
-----------------
Father Burdock

I already moved my character.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Burdock steps back, thankful for dwarven steel, and casts another spell, summoning the spectral hammer of Torag to the battlefield behind the large green duergar. "Taste the force of Torag!", he cries out as he wills the hammer to strike.

Spiritual weapon

Weapon @ Green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

As Torag's hammer manifests, it strikes out at green, but its strike misses him.

Green can see again. Knowing the hindrance his shield causes him, he straps it back as a move, then tries jumping to more solid ground.
Acro from stationary, DC 10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
He lands 5 ft away, but presents himself as an easy target.

Piggy takes another 13 dmg to the face, after Sivar's fauchard lands upon it.

Grint 5-foot steps north-west, reloads then fires a bolt at the boar.
Single Bolt, PBS, Deadly Aim, Moved: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 221d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 12

Already moved my character myself

Grint places a bolt in the boar's neck. With a loud aggressive squeel, it disappears back to where it was summoned from.

Elsa now aims to dish out cold vengeance against green.
Rt, buffs: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 31 Dmg, buffs: 3d6 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6, 1) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 17 25.
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 27 Extra cold: 3d6 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 5) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 18 27.
52 dmg to the duergar.

Her attack is so vicious, that it robs the dwarf's body of any heat, causing him to outright die of an extreme case of hypothermia.
--------------------
The leader pops from invisibility.
"Accursed..."
His spellcasting complete, 1d3 ⇒ 2 fiendish looking eagles appear near Grint.

Cyan talon, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 13
Cyan talon, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 25 Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Cyan bite, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 10

Orange talon, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 19
Orange talon, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 23 Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Orange bite, flank, height: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 19
Between the two, Grint is scraped for 9.

The leader looks at Elsa.
"You like to do that huh. Would it work if you lost any sight."
Elsa, DC 17 fort roll please, or you'll become blinded.

The dagger jabs some more at her.
Stabbity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
It hits her, and the leader draws an axe as he closes in towards Grint.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Curses! I've lost my sight!

I swear I checked this thread 2 days ago and I wasn't up.

Overlooking something, it can happen.
But i hardly doubt you'd object against that scene of icy wrath.

Father Burdock

Burdock redirects the hammer of Torag towards the now visible leader.
Move action to redirect

Spiritual Weapon @ Leader: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Holdfast, Elsa. We can try to get you aid later!"

Burdock then readies an action to dispel the next attempt for the leader to use magic!

The hammer smacks the leader over the head, leaving a pretty bruise.
==================

Bastion war room, round 8

Grint & Sivar
Elsa
--------------------
Leader (-4)
--------------------
Father Burdock

I'm not sure of whats on this map so i just moved straight towards

Sivar moves down the side of the conflict looking to get in at the leader double move

Those would be fiendish eagles.

As Sivar moves north, Elsa tosses ice at where she saw the leader last.

Rt: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 Cold: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) + 2 = 14
51+ is good: 1d100 ⇒ 14
Elsa's ice blast misses the leader, who arrogantly smirks at her attempt.

Grint moves away, at a total defense. Ac 27.
------------
The spiritual dagger poofs out of existance.
The leader opens his palm at Sivar.
"Stand still."

Sivar, DC 16 willsave, or you are paralyzed for 5 rounds, with every round you can make a willsave on that DC to break free.

The eagles follow Grint, this causes cyan to provoke from Sivar.
Vengeful fauchard: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 Dmg: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Who proceeds to cleave the bird in half.

Since Elsa is blind she will hide behind her shields of ice.

Holy heck, i've been snoozing here.

Father Burdock charges at the eagle.
"Down with you, foul spawn."
Dwarven hammer, charge: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23 Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The bird is hit right in the face, and it disappears in a cloud of beaten-off feathers.

The spiritual hammer makes another swing at the leader.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Extra if so: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 No.

The evil dwarf gets another solid scalp whacking.
Rubbing his head, the leader makes a dwarven gesture most foul, which only a dwarf would recognize as a severe insult.

Grint stepped 5-feet north ,reloads the crossbow and fires at the leader.
Single Bolt, PBS, Deadly Aim, Moved: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 141d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9

Sivar takes a step and attacks the dark dwarf

Power attack Fauchard+df+bless: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 251d10 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

The bolt bounces off the duergar's armor, and he grins.
That is quickly ended though, when Sivar's fauchard comes down on him.

Elsa (you can still blast, assume one of the boys is so courteous to give a general direction to blast towards)

One of the boys points Elsa a general time to aim for.

She gathers power and launches ice into said direction.

The hammer continues its assault on the leader.

Spiritual Weapon @ LEader: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Burdock moves in clser and swings his own hammer at the villain, pitting dwarven steel against duergar armor.

MW hammer @ Leader: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
