Flug Managarm |
Outside of the temple, unaffected by the energy Jost calls forth, the wolf raises its own hands and makes two quick motions in Jost's direction before clasping them above its chest.
Casting Hold Person (CL 5th, Will DC 17 negates, 5 rounds) on Jost.
A whispering can be heard around it but the words are indecipherable. They first seem to be a language you might know but soon reveals itself as an alien tongue with alien sounds.
Cеlif |
"Oh, this is not good, not good," Celif frets as the acolytes rise and Jost calls forth his dark energy. Trying to remain calm, she drops her backpack, extracts her crossbow, and loads it.
Story Master |
Gezzo and Lryhla seem to not be affected by the wave of energy emanating from Jost, but Thorgrim feels it slam into him for 10 points of damage!
Flug casts a spell at Jost 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14...and his foe seems suddenly to become paralyzed and freezes in place!
While Celif loads her crossbow, Nastrod casts a spell of Doom at Jost 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17. . . but it does not seem the spell was effective.
Rufina moves to L-13 and attacks Monk-J with a flurry of blows!
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
She strikes the Monk 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 for a slight amount of damage!
End of Round 1
Round 2:
Group 1: Gezzo and Thorgrim...
Gezzo Wrathforge |
Spells still active: Protection from Evil, Bulls Strength, Bless.
Thorgrim, the head of the snake is weakened. Let's cut it off!
Snapping the reigns, Lryhla springs into action. The mount spins around and dodges in and out while rounding the orbs. He turns towards Jost and heads up the stairs.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
Lryhla moves to I7.
Dispatch your minions, necromancer or I shall dispatch you!
Gezzo will ready a coup de grace, he will perform the action if the monks aren't released.
Story Master |
Gezzo and Lryhla weave past the monks, making their way at full speed to the temple platform. Their attempts at Acrobatics are unsuccessful, and they incur several attacks of opportunity as the monks strike with stunning fists:
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
One of the monks connects a blow, dealing 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 nine points of damage! Gezzo feels dizzy...make a Fortitude save.
Gezzo Wrathforge |
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
If the monks are evil and using natural weapon (which I'm guessing fists are), then rule 3 of Protection from Evil I would think come into effect.
Story Master |
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
The monk appears to have connected a blow on Gezzo, but it recoils away from him as soon as its hit tries to connect!
Thorgrim follows Gezzo's path to the front of the lecturn, and strikes at Jost, connecting with a powerful blow that creates a serious wound!
Group 2: The Monks
All of the monks move to attack the nearest foe:
A and D move toward Gezzo, with A attempting to strike a blow:
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
The creature swings wildly, and misses with its attack.
C, G, H and I converge on Thorgrim, and attack him in a flurry of blows and kicks, with stunning strikes:
C - 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 20 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 21
G - 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 26 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 28
H - 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
possible crit - 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 17 - not a crit.
I - moves toward him but is out of range for attack...
Thorgrim is struck four times 4d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 3) + 16 = 31 for 31 points of damage! Make a Fortitude save.
J, K and L converge on Rufina and attack her in a flurry of blows and kicks, with stunning strikes:
J - 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18
K - 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
L - 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20
She is struck three times 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) + 12 = 22 and she falls lifeless onto the temple floor...
B, E and F converge on Imowen, with E and F reaching and attacking her:
E - 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 15 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12
F - 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21 and 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20
She is struck twice 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 = 13 for 13 damage! Make a Fortitude save.
The map is updated.
Group 3: Imowen
Gezzo Wrathforge |
Since the monks didn't stop, I would like to perform my readied attack.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 29 That's with bull strength, bless and +4 from flanking Teamwork feat granted by class feature.
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
Story Master |
Thorgrim and Imowen get hammered by flailing fists, but luckily neither is stunned by the attacks.
Imowen strikes Monk F with her mace, which seems to leap at the foe of its own accord! It strikes the monk in the head, crushing its skull and rendering it instantly dead!
Gezzo lashes out at Jost and strikes him for seven damage, while the monk stands paralyzed!
Group 4: Jost
Will Save: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18
Jost seems to come to his senses, and he takes a 5-foot step away from Gezzo and points to the floor...and instantly two skeletons appear and attack Gezzo with their claws!
1 - 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
2 - 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16 and 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 = 13
Both creatures seem to miss with their blows!
The map is updated.
Group 5: Celif, Flug, Nastrod
Flug Managarm |
The wolf repeats their action, attempting to hold Jost in place again.
Casting Hold Person (CL 5th, Will DC 17 negates, 5 rounds) on Jost again.
Story Master |
Am I still affected by Bless?
Yes.
Nastrod charges at Monk B and swings his flaming sword at the creature, but it manages to dodge the attack!
I moved you to I-14, adjacent to Monk B.
Flug casts a Hold Person spell at Jost:
1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14
Jost stiffens and becomes paralyzed again!
Cеlif |
Celif takes a moment to place her hand over the symbol on her tabard, and concentrate. Invoking Sanctuary, DC 11 Will save required for an attacker to follow through, 3 rounds. Not expecting it to help, but... *shrug*
Loaded crossbow in hand, she then moves quietly into the room. (To J12 if she can step up on the platform supporting the columns; J13 if not. Path is mostly in column J to avoid AoOs.
Gezzo Wrathforge |
You were given your chance, necromancer! Now you will be punished for your vile crimes!
Lryhla steps around the skeleton and Gezzo thrusts his sword at Jost.
Five-foot step to J6, issue challenge (swift action, +2 damage/-2 AC to attacks from others than the target) and execute a Coup De Grace on Jost.
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9
Lryhla will ready an attack to attack Jost (if he is not dead from damage or Fort save) or the first hostile creature that enters into range.
Lryhla's Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Story Master |
Thorgrim steps forward and attacks Jost who is up on the lecturn (higher elevation and partial cover = -2 to your attack roll; but, you still hit him.). The barbarian's greatsword is swung with such force that it cuts Jost in two, killing him!
Gezzo and Lryhla also attack, striking at the skeletons summoned by Jost, but both attacks miss!
Group 2: The Monks
Monks A and D start climbing the western steps to the lecturn, and A tries to attack Gezzo Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 and somehow it overcomes the protection from evil and strikes with its claws 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21, striking him for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 seven points of damage!
Monks C, G, H and I surround Thorgrim, each striking out with a flurry of fists and feet, elbows and knees...
C - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
G - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

I - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Somehow Thorgrim twists and dodges and parries each blow!
Monks J and L advance and attack Celif...
J - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
L - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
A flurry of fists and feet strike her, causing 4d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4) + 16 = 28 twenty eight points of damage!
Monks B and K flank Nastrod and attack him with a flurry of blows...
B - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
K - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Several blows land solidly, inflicting 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14 fourteen points of damage!
Monk E attacks Imowen...1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 but she is able to avoid the strikes!
The map is updated.
Group 3: Imowen
Nästród, Oracle of the Dasun |
Flames from Örlög-Eldur swirl in a vivid circle as Nästród spins with surprising grace to one side of the undead monk.
5-foot step to H13
Just as his lame leg hits the ground, Nastrod pivots on it, using the weight of the magical blade to continue in an arc towards the walking dead monstrosity.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 2 = 23
Regular Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
Critical Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Move to K-15 and attack Monk K. If that one's the one Nostrod attacked and is dead, move instead to M-14 and attack Monk L. I try for flanking each time.
Story Master |
Nastrod steps forward and swings his flaming sword at Monk B. The blade successfully strikes critically, killing the creature with one blow and reducing it to a burning pile of flesh!
Flug advances and attacks Monk K, and his morningstar strikes the creature, but does not seem to cause much damage!
Cеlif |
At DC 11 it probably wouldn't have mattered, but I didn't spot any Will saves against the Sanctuary. Auto-succeed?
The breath knocked out of her, Celif staggers to the side (5' Step to I12) before summoning all her strength and flinging her hands outward as she rises unsteadily.
Channel Energy (healing intent): 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 (Should reach all of our crew.)
Almost choking on the oppressive evil energy near the columns, she searches her memory for applicable facts as she pulls out a wand.

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

End of Round 3.
The map is updated.
Round 4:
Group 1: Gezzo and Thorgrim...
Thorgrim Æsgard |
I swing around me Power attacking H and following up with an power attack on C, afterwards I step up to K-7

Cеlif |
"Lure them away from the columns!" shouts Celif. "The altar has been desecrated, they're drawing power from it!"
Story Master |
I swing around me Power attacking H and following up with an power attack on C, afterwards I step up to K-7
You cannot step to K-7 - the lecturn is 5 feet high above the floor, and would require a climb action. You can move to K-7 up the eastern stairs, but that would provoke attacks of opportunity. Please rethink your after-attack options.
Thorgrim heaves his greatsword and strikes in a circular fashion! The heavy blade smashes into monks H and C, thoroughly destroying both creatures!
Gezzo and Lryhla both attack skeleton #1, and between them both manage to inflict enough damage to destroy it!
Story Master |
Then I move to M-7.
Thanks.
Group 2: The Monks and Skeletons
Skeleton 2 and Monks A and D continue to press Gezzo atop the lectern. Monk A strikes out with its claws 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 but it stumbles as it attacks and misses with both blows! Skeleton #2 tries to claw Gezzo Will Save:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 and it manages to overcome the Protection from Evil and strikes 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21, raking him for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 three points of damage!
Monks G and I continue their pursuit of Thorgrim, flailing in fluries of blows with fists and knees:
G - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
I - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Monk G manages to land a blow causing 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 nine points of damage!
Monks J, K and L converge on Flug and attack him in a flury of stunning unarmed strikes:
J - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
K - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Group 3: Imowen, Celif, Flug, Nastrod
The map is updated.
Cеlif |
Seeing Thorgrim move out of range, Celif steps forward again (to J12, which should just barely bring him back in range) before calling upon the grace of Septimus another time.
Channel Energy (healing intent): 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 (Should reach everyone. And: Bah!))
"Flug! Don't smash them, slash them! Skeletons get smashed!"
Story Master |
Celif shifts slightly and calls upon her deity for healing powers, and positive energy wafts forth affecting all party members.
Rufina gasps again as the healing powers pour over her, and she regains consciousness...
Flug is rattled by the blows he received, but is able to retain his faculties...
Flug Managarm |
The wolf hops back and puts away its morning star, replacing it with a dagger with a swift flick of the wrist. It then chants another string of rasping syllables, one arm waving about and trailing black as his cloak of darkness becomes strangely unreal, unassailable.
5-foot step back and sheathe morning star. Swift action to retrieve dagger from spring-loaded wrist sheath. Then cast Sanctuary (DC 16 Will Negates) on myself.
Story Master |
We shall move on...
Nastrod moves to I-14 and attack monk K 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20, striking the creature solidly 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3) + 5 = 14 Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1, and killing it!

Group 2: The monks and skeleton
Monks A and D, and Skeleton B continue their pursuit of Gezzo and Lryhla across the lectern. Monk A and the skeleton try to attack:
A - 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
2 - 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 and 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
