The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Is there time to cast a spell? If so, then Vita will cast Neutralize Poison. Otherwise, give me thirty minutes of sleepy time (unless I roll a natural 20).

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Hmmm, if you succeed a concentration check to cast the spell while almost falling asleep, you may cast that spell ;)

Hate to see you waste a NP spell for sleep. Anyone got any smelling salts? Do we have an alchemist in the group?

Yvell is an elf and is therefor immune to sleep.

Elves are immune to 'magical' sleep. Dunno if this counts or not.

As the caretaker and his wife leave the room, and his companions begin to swoon, Milo leaps angrily to his feet.

"Carked gits slipped 'em a slum lush!" He cries, before breaking into a string of colorful orcish swear words.

He glances around furiously, looking for something to blow up.

Oh say... is the tea still here? Or did they take our tea cups. That's a nice DC on that!

Concentration Check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

Wizzy does indeed carry smelling salts, but it only allows a reroll... Although 1 vial can be reused until she makes a 20 lol..

They left the cups, you can get a sample if you like. The poison is a drug and not magic.

Fort. Yvell: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

After about half an hour Yvell wakes up again, he has a bit of a headache but feels ok. You can move around in the manor, a double door leads further into the building.

I thought they were immune to all forms unless it stated otherwise in the effect. Like Ghasts. Also if he has smelling salts we would have to wait the full half our for me to wake up. I'm sure I would roll a 20 before then.

I looked it up in the PRD, there it says Elven Immunities: Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.

Heh, he should be up in a couple of minutes on average if you can keep reusing the salts... much better then sitting around for half an hour.

Not sure how often you can use the salt within 30 minutes, but if Wizzy wants to use the salt.

Wizzy takes out a vial with gray crystals and puts it under Yvell's nose. After a few minutes the elf suddenly opens his eyes and caughs. He's finally awake.

I'm not going to discuss that any further as it does not effect the game...

It doesnt really state how many times.. It says you can use it dozens of times if the stopper is replaced after each use. It says it goes inert after a few hours if left uncorked.. Sounds to me like he can use it every round till they roll a 20..

"Lets vamp this carked reader and slide," Milo snarls angrily, as folks finally recover from the tea.

"'Fore the damn snakes cooper us and knacker things more'n those gobs what work here." He adds, glaring at the door through which the caretaker and his wife fled.

Seems there's only one way to go!

"I say how downright terrible. Thats not at all how you treat a guest. If i see that groundskeeper again i will give him a lesson in manners!" Yvell fumes as he shakes the sleep out of his head. "Right then lets get this over with," He continues heading over to the door and opening it.

The ceiling of this grand hall soars twenty feet overhead. An enormous, fifty-foot-long banquet table surrounded by twenty-eight beautifully carved, high-backed chairs dominates the room. Eight full suits of ornate plate armor line the east and west walls, each holding an elaborate if unwieldy halberd. Intricately grilled windows high up on the north and south walls allow ambient light from outside to permeate the large chamber. Two enormous oil paintings in fanciful gilded frames flank the double doors on the west wall, their subjects presiding regally over the hall. On the right is an obese man in voluminous white robes and gloves, with a long black beard of oiled ringlets, and the fingers of both hands bedecked with gems — the quintessential portrait of a Druman Kalistocrat. The portrait on the left depicts a beautiful olive-skinned woman with large dark eyes and raven hair, also clad in white robes and gloves; her hair is held in place by a jeweled circlet, and a veil of coins covers her lower face.

Seated in every fourth chair (seven in total) is a most unusual diner a bipedal form clad in expensive black formal wear, with a grotesque, fish-like head, though it otherwise seems human enough.

On the way to the room, Vita will touch each other member of the party establishing her Life Link.

Will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Beware! Those four..." (and here Vita points) "... are mere illusions, while the other three are some kind of actual physical monstrosity."

Vita bows her head and prays, "Let your servants benefit from enlightenment."

Vita has cast prayer.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

edit: Ha!

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 to know something about the creatures (illusory or not!)

"Button or bludger?" Milo asks, as he pears past the larger folks.

"They don't look snide." He adds, puzzled, as he can't seem to notice a difference between the creatures, even after Vita points out the difference.

"Maybe just dressing?" He offers, though doesn't seem convinced.

He mutters a quick arcane word, and continues to examine the room intently.

Casting detect magic and looking around.

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Kujo looks around and shrugs. But he grips his sword a little tighter and moves up to protect Vita.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Base speed = 50ft

We get a bonus because they were pointed out as illusions right?

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Not that it will matter.

He draws his rapier with a flourish and readies for the golems.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 burning Eternal Hope..
Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

"There all Illusions but those 3!"

Take 10 for a 27 arcana! Defensive abilities, Vulnerabilities plz!

Wizzy will unveil his flag at the tip of his longspear! Its a dark green banner with the symbol of the open road displayed on it in gold leaf..

Flagbearer: +2 Morale hit/dam/charm saves
Banner: +2 Resist vs mind affecting

"Flesh Golems! Be on your guard!"

Yes, you get a +4 bonus if Vita or Wizzy tell you that's they are illusions, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, they don't seem hostile =) Maybe they're friendly!

Indeed, Wizzy will hold his offense until the become hostile..

"Excuse me sirs.. mam.. err.. My name is Wizzy.. Can I ask why yall are sitting here?"

Dip if it matters: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

The creatures stand up start to move closer to you. Both, illusions and real creatures. But none of them answers.

Yvell spring out his wand and shields himself. "Well lets get on with it then." He says.

"Well so be it then.. May the power of the open road see us through to victory!" He activates inspire courage as a move action and casts grease(dc 17) underneath the left golem, hoping to trip it..

Buffs Active!

Inspire Courage: +3 Circ hit/dam, +3 Morale to fear
Flagbearer: +2 Morale hit/dam/charm saves
Banner: +2 Resist vs mind affecting
Triple Time: +10' increase to movement

Init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Did the knowledge checks on flesh golems give us enough to know how fire affects them?

Milo mutters a few angry words, and shakes his hand as if its fallen asleep, causing a small fire to spring into existence in his palm.

Activate produce flame, spell-like

A magical attack that deals cold or fire damage slows a flesh golem (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds (no save).

And I made a mistake, the creatures are large. Sorry for that.

When Wizzy casts grease at one of the golems they suddenly raise their arms and attack.

Reflex blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 LOL

The grease under the golem's feet makes him fall prone. The golem tries to get up and move around the table but the floor is to slippery and he does not move on.
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

The golem on the right side of the table moves around and approaches Yvell, squeezing between the table and the plate armor suit, and slams his fists at him but misses.
Slam vs. Yvell: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Round 1: Prayer in effect: +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each foe takes a –1 penalty on such rolls -- eight more rounds

Vita takes a step back, and casts blessing of fervor.

Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).

• Increase its speed by 30 feet.
  
• Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
  
• Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
  
• Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
  
• Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.

Yvell spends a point from his arcane pool to make his blade keen then attacks twice.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Attack 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Crit Conferm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Yvell then spends another point of his arcane pool to make all of his crit damage fire.

If the first attack hits its 11 physical the second is 22 fire

Would the prayer have already been in effect? If so, the blue golem would have received a -1 on that acrobatics check, and fallen down again =)

And Yvell didn't make use of Vita's blessing of fervor spell (would have assumed an extra attack)... unless he went for the AC bonus I suppose.

Yvell ....

Any chance Yvell might take a 5' up so that Kujo can 5' step to attack?

Dont forget the +5 hit/dam in effect atm.. Well really +6 with prayer and a bonus attack via BoF

Forgot about the prayer, sorry! Thanks for reminding me! The golem is prone, I considered the stand up as a move action with no progress, so still prone.

While the oracle prays for blessings Yvell uses his chance to attack the golem in front of him twice. The second attack hits the creature and creates a big wound, you can smell BBQ.

Oloch didn't post for a week now, if someone wants to post an action for him, please go ahead. If not he will delay.

@Yvell, I think you did not include the +5 from Wizzy's inspire/flagbearer. If this is correct also the first attack hits.

Posting for Oloch

I'll choose the +2 bonus to attack and AC/Reflex for this round

"Fell construct that ye be. The might of Gorum is upon ye and let all hear the conflict of my blows upon thine accursed body!"

Oloch uses the fervor of his belief to cast Shield of Faith as a swift action 7 minute duration, +3 Deflection bonus and pulls his greatsword as he moves through the group, using Yvell as cover, and taking advantage of his improved footspeed to find himself standing side by side Yvell as he brings his greatsword with all the strength he can manage.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 Damage: 2d6 + 23 ⇒ (3, 5) + 23 = 31

Oloch base A/D = +11/+11 with his +2 Greatsword. I'm assuming +8/+6 attack/damage bonus from all the buffs. No penalty for Power Attack because of Furious Focus. Another +6 damage bonus from PA. And -4 for squeezing/cover?

Should have a total +5 AC bonus for 1 round and +3 for 7 minutes. Forgot the -4 AC for squeezing, so that's +1 AC this round and -1 if Oloch continues to squeeze.

No i didnt forgot about that tanks wizzy. So that would be 32 fire and 16 physical. And that is with the blessing. I dont have a second attack yet. I can totally move sorry i posted without looking at the map.

Just to make sure everything is correct: with the blessing both attacks hit and it's 16 physical damage from the first hit and 32 fire damage from the second hit. DR is deducted from the 16 physical only. Should be 43 damage in total and the golem is staggered for 11 rounds.

Oloch moves past Yvell hides behind the armour and swings his greatsword with all his power. He cuts another deep wound in the golem's fleshy belly. The redish golem also starts to move around the table. double move

Just a heads up GM cause i just noticed it.. Prayer allowes SR so the golems would not be affected by it..

Wizzy continues his song and aids Yvell in his next attack..

Auto aid Yvell to give him +4 to his next attack roll via helpful trait.

He will then step back 5'

Milo will wait for Kujo to take a step forward to attack before doing the following...

With an angry snarl, Milo winds up and throws a ball of fire towards the prone golem across the room.

Ranged Touch vs prone blue golem: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 11 (-4 penalty is due to golem being prone)

Will do no damage, but should slow the blue fellow for 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 rounds

Then, using the extra attack option from the blessing of fervor he will 5' step forward and throw another at the red golem

He then steps forward into the space the barbarian just vacated, and using the melee combatants for cover, throws a second ball of flame at the golem coming around the far side of the table.

Ranged Touch vs red golem through cover into melee: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 10 (first -4 is for firing into melee, second -4 is for firing through cover)

Red golem will be slowed for 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 rounds.)

Taking the +2 A/AC/Dodge option

Kujo steps forward into the space vacated by Yvell. No one remembers for certain, but witnesses say the barbarian gave the magus a wink of approval. Enchanted greatsword in hand, Kujo sets to work on what remains of the golem.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (2, 5) + 20 = 27

A/D base is +12/+8. Power Attack is -2/+6. Buffs are +8/+6 = +18/+20. If my math is wrong, please adjust accordingly.

Thanks for the reminder, you are right.

Wizzy continues to sing and gives Yvell some aid to help him with his next strike. Kujo swings his enchanted greatsword at the injured golem and decapitates it. Milo throws to balls of flame at the remaining golems and hits both of them. You can see that their movements become slowlier.

The golem behind the table tries to get up again but fails, the floor is too slippery.
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Prayer 7 more rounds. Blessing of fervor 8 more rounds

Feeling there is no additional way to contribute, Vita will delay in case someone gets injured.

Does somebody want to post for Oloch again? I'm thinking about removing Oloch, but I don't want to risk any of your PC's lifes.

Cursing loudly in orcish, Milo steps further into the room, scowling angrily at the creatures seemingly immune to most of his magical powers.

Not much I can do vs the golem's spell immunity... though if I read it right, I can still do spells that don't allow spell resistance? Which of all the spells currently prepared, only the cantrip qualifies! So...

Muttering some arcane words in draconic, he flicks the hand not still holding a flame violently towards the creature battling Yvell.

casting acid splash

ranged touch, into melee, through cover, with lots of buffs: 1d20 + 5 + 5 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 5 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 16, for 1d3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9 acid damage.

yay for suped-up cantrips! =)

Wizzy ends his inspire courage and step back.. He then auto aids Kujo's next attack for an additional +4 to hit..

His lingering performance keeps the inspire buff going for 2 additional rounds..

Wizzy... what is this 'auto aid'? Aid another for combat is an attack roll and can fail on a 1 like any other... not to mention takes any other attack penalties that might be in play

I totally forgot abt that.. Considering Yvell didnt use the +4 its moot lol..

Nat 1 check: 1d20 ⇒ 2 Lol close.. Regardless he aids.. +4 to Kujo's next attack
