"Mine if we snoop around a bit? We'll not get the water dirty. I'd hate to be bathing here tonight and suddenly have goblins launch a surprise attack." asks JJ.
Juraan |
Before we move on to the baths:
"The rest of you will have to fill me in about Jill."
"The rest of you don't like her, I can tell."
"But I assume there's more to than just being an over-priced tart."
⋮ Later, at the baths:
Juraan likewise hands over a silver piece.
"I'm with them." he says to Orak.
"You've not noticed anything out of the ordinary lately?"
"Like mindless vandalism or burgling?"

Earlier
"The rest of you will have to fill me in about Jill."
"The rest of you don't like her, I can tell."
Giving the sorcerer a grim smile, Ryan replies "Let's just say when we first met her she and some friends of hers in the Last Laugh were beating Ruphus, a mentor of mine from the Church. so there is no love lost on my account concerning her."
Inside the Bathhouse
sense motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Observing the Bath house proprietor's lackluster responses, Ryan lays a silver on the table as well and steps away from the trio, appearing to investigate the decor of the room and cast Detect Magic trying to see if anything perhaps had ensorcelled the dwarf, hard as that tended to be.
GM Rutseg |
"I mind" says Orak interposing himself on the way not allowing Ryan to cast his spell "No weapons or sorcery in my business. I will have to ask you to leave if you are not here to have a bath"
"No burgling here. All is ok" finishes the dwarf.
The limited answers and restricted actions of the dwarf makes you think he is under some kind of enchantment influence.
Marigold Montajay |
With Ryan, JJ, and Juraan heading into the bathhouse Marigold looks at her two dwarven companions and shrugs. "C-can't hurt to h-have a p-peek around b-back I guess," she comments as she moves to do just that. She glances around and then back up at the rooftops, hoping that there's no one else watching that might find their loitering suspicious.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
_JJ Surabar |
sense motive, FE: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22
Aceing those rolls today
"Orak...you don't seem yourself. We are here because the guard sent us. We need to look around."
Juraan |
sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Not wanting to get in a tussle withe Dwarf needlessly, Juraan excuses himself.
"I'll just wait outside with Marigold, shall I?"
… outside the bathhouse …
"Hello, Marigold. Anything interesting out here?"
"Orak is getting a bit tetchy right now."
Marigold Montajay |
"Eek!" Marigold yelps, not realizing that Juraan had come back outside. "D-don't s-scare me l-like that!"
After she takes a moment to catch her breath and calm her nerves, she finally answers her companion's question. "N-nothing b-back here r-right now...and n-no s-sign of J-Jill, her f-friends, or anyone else...which I g-guess is a g-good thing! B-but I c-can h-hear inside and it d-does s-sound like this Orak is acting a b-bit st-strange..."
_JJ Surabar |
"I'm sorry Orak. But the guard captain has requested that we look around. And the goblin tracks came right in here. Don't worry though, we won't let on we saw the tracks nearby."
Maxim Snaphånce |
Wow slamming amount of posts! For the record Maxim would have stayed outside - as Kikinnin walking in gang handed would just have the rats running to the shadows (so to speak).
Maxim stoically waits outside.
He shakes his head at Juraan and Marigold's threatrical interplay, then focuses when the tiny oracle mentions potential foulness afoot;
"Orak acting strange like you say..? Jil did reckon he could be getting influence of someone, somehow..."
Kikinnin Rouradont |
Kikinnin looks up and down the street for ratsign- droppings, grease stains on the lower parts of the building walls, dead rats... Anything he can glean to tuck away for a later time, when he gets a chance...
When Juraan comes back outside, Kikinnin hears about the touchiness of the one-eyed dwarf, then looks at Maxim. "You thinkin' he'd calm down if we joined them inside? Dwarf to dwarf?" The black-beard shrugs his shoulders, then encourages Juraan to lead them in, where Kikinnin then looks for Orak.
When he hears the resistance himself, Kikinnin recognizes the easy number they've got Orak, so he ignores the one-eye, and begins looking around. "If what you say is true, then we shouldn't come across any gobsign, either." He keeps his axe at the ready, assuming nothing is what it seems.
GM Rutseg |
When Kikinnin pushes back in Juraan and Maxim and starts to force a search in the bathhouse Orak starts shouting aloud "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh"
Out at the street Marigold sees a couple of humans jumping to the ground from the rooftop. As they fall, they look at the halfling female and start running towards the bathhouse door. While running they draw rapiers and their shape start to change. Their backs curve, hair start to grow in their bodies, and a long tail appears while their faces enlarge to resemble those of rats.
Marigold enters the bathhouse raising the alarm at the time three more humanoids resembling two-ledged giant rats open doors at the far end of the bathhouse drawing rapiers. Orak draws a handaxe, his eyes looking out of place.

Ryan: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Foes: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
These are wererats. They are in hybrid form and difficult to kill due to DR 10/silver and evasion
Round 1: Juraan, Ryan, Kikinnin, Foes, Maxim, JJ, Marigold
Map updated!
Juraan |
Oh, goody! The two following Marigold through the main doors are lined up
just perfect for my very first use of the Buring Hands spell.
AND Marigold is just outside the cone's area of effect.
Juraan looks at the two rat creatures that followed Marigold in the door.
He immediately casts a spell, causing a cone of flame to cover them,
with Marigold (just) safely out of the blast.
A cone of fire just appearing is odd enough, but this one is odder still.
This fire has tongues of shimmering black and purple, not red and orange.
Just a little theatrical fluff for the narrative.
burning hands (acid): 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) + 3 = 10 (DC 15, reflex halves)
Earth Elemental arcana changes element damage and descriptor to acid.
Black Draconic arcana adds +1 HP per die to a spell with the acid descriptor.
"I think I know what kind of rat infestation we're looking at now!"
@ GM Rusteg:
I drew a purple shape on the map to show the 15 ft cone for the Burning Hands spell.
_JJ Surabar |
know(local): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18
"Wererats! This is like a dream, or rather a nightmare. I was being figurative damn it!"
He screams "Unless you have a silver blade, you won't be able to hurt them! Their hides turn steel as easily as they repel water. Lets pull back."
Ryan Taskerhill |
Ryan arches an eyebrow at the purple black flames licking out from the sorcerers hands "Well that's new." followed quickly by "This just gets better and better" at JJ's exclamation.
Looking at the exits now blocked by the wererats, Ryan looks to help them out best he can, "Abadar, protect your servants against the filth coming forth from the shadows"
Casting Bless(3 mins) - standard action

Yellow Ref (evasion) DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Blue Ref (evasion) DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
As the green flames fill the Bathhouse entrance, the wererats protect themselves behind the doors, skillfully enough to avoid the acid.
As Ryan performs his blessing, the wererats move forward surrounding the group, while doing distasteful sounds with their mouths.
The entrance line focus their rapiers very miserably on Marigold while she cannot react. You see hate on their eyes, the presence of the wererats announced by the halfling.
Rapier (flatfooted): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5
Rapier (flatfooted): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Rapier+flank (flatfooted): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5
The rapiers clash with Marigold's breastplate without much result, but one pierces deeply into the halfling left leg.
The other two instead attack the boy shouting what are they, JJ.
Rapier (flatfooted): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
Rapier (flatfooted): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6
One of the rapiers takes him by surprise, opening a wound very close to his neck.
Orak Stonehaven looks confused for a second, his face changes then while he draws his handaxe. You can feel him fighting to control himself "Run away" he struggles to say.

Round 1: Maxim, JJ, Marigold, Juraan, Ryan, Kikinnin (x2), Foes
Kikinnin Rouradont |
2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Round 1
AC = 22
HP = 34/34
Weapon Equipped = MW Dwarven Greataxe
Condition(s) = Blessed
Kikinnin feels Ryan's divine strength spread throughout the gathering, then pays attention to JJ's instructions on the humans-now-turned-rats. "Why?!? Why would anyone want to turn rat?!?! Come now, you can respect the vermin all you want, but growing your own whiskers... and the tails... urgh... That's not right!! That's an abomination!!"
He almost doesn't Look at the hairy thing in front of him, but he seeks out at least some confirmation. The Glisten should be here, but even if it weren't, he'd find out with metal. Move Action- Detect Evil
Mere moments later, Kikinnin's axe rises and falls onto the creature directly in front of him, a divine power of his own surging through the weapon. Swift Action- Smite Evil
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, Smite: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 29 for 1d10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 3 = 14 damage, overcomes DR
Round 2
If the first blow doesn't kill it, he swings again on the same ratman. "The whole time I've rooted out rats in Cauldron, where the hells have you all been?! You're burned into my mind, so let me return the favor!!" His newfound rage gets the better of him...
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, Smite: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 11 for 1d10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 = 13 damage, overcomes DR
Marigold Montajay |
Kn. Local (DC 12): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Marigold's eyes widen in shock and surprise as what look like hooded men suddenly race towards her - only to turn into some sort of horrible ratmen monstrosity. With a shriek, she turns and flees into the bathhouse with them right on her heels.
"ઓહ દેવતાઓ! અમે આ માટે સજ્જ નથી!" she yelps as the group finds themselves cornered by creatures on all sides, one of which leaves a nasty wound in her leg.
Marigold's Round 1
Although she knows it's a long shot, there's little else that she can do. She ducks between two of the creatures and crouches down, attempting to call forth her magic to slow them down.
Color Spray (Casting Defensively; DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
And amazingly, it works - though just barely! A fan of colors erupts from Marigold's outstretched hands and washes over two of the wererats.
"Oh g-gods! W-we aren't equipped f-for th-this!"
Taking a 5 foot step to her current position and then casting Color Spray on the defensive. Targeting Blue and Green; DC 14 Will save to negate.
_JJ Surabar |
Aware that his weapons won't be able to hurt them, JJ fights defensively, helping Klikkin.
"I'll try to distract them.."
Fighting defensively, so at -4, but +2 to AC, using aid another to help Klikkin
attack, aid another: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21
Maxim Snaphånce |
Pre-Combat
As the halflings assume rodent form, Maxim scowls;
Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Wererats! Hell's teeth I suspected as such!
Round 1 Buffs: Bless +1 to hit & fear saves
He is about to bellow a warning, but JJ beats him to it; then as their foes scurry toward them Maxim warily takes a step back 5ft Step.
The gun-mage retrieves one of his newly crafted cartridges with a grim smile, then loads his pistol (Move Action)
Calmly leveling the barrel at the nearby wererat (Green) imbuing the weapon with arcane energy (Arcane Strike - Swift Action) and pulls the trigger...
Ranged Touch: Pistol (+Bless) : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Damage: Pistol+Alchemical Silver Cartridge+Arcane Strike: 1d8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 1 = 6 Overcomes DR
Ryan Taskerhill |
Looking over his shoulder Ryan calls out to JJ, "Put Orak to sleep, but dont kill him. He's not himself" Then focusing his energy once more channels to both heal and protect his allies.
1d6 ⇒ 2hp + +1AC/1 rnd
GM Rutseg |
Juraan draws a wand and uses it, an invisible protective barrier surrounding him.
Feeling the glistening on the rats, Kikinnin strikes with his axe at the one in front, the divine power cutting through the body with astounding ease. Although this axe almost cut one arm in half, the creature stands, shrieking in pain. The dwarf next attack is unsynchronised and lands on the ground.
Marigold ducks between the wererats avoiding the rapiers as they try to pierce her. A wave of colourful strings spring from her hands engulfing two of the creatures.
Blue Will DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Green Will DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
They seem not really impressed by the lights and keep on their aggressions.
JJ moves around one of the wererats, hitting on it as they try to attack Kikinnin, effectively distracting it.
Unable to step anywhere, Maxim retreats into the shallow waters of the pool, his legs getting soaked to the waist. The dwarf fights for his powder not to get ruined by the water while he loads a silvery cartridge in his pistol.
Ryan raises his holy symbol, a divine wave healing and protecting everybody.
The wererats swarm around Marigold, not giving her an opportunity to rest.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Rapier+flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9
Two of the rapiers stab at areas well protected by Marigold's breastplate, but she cannot dodge one of the rapiers piercing at her face!
The other two wererats attack at Kikinnin, one of the attacks deflected by JJ's short sword, the other landing at the dwarf's armor.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Orak moves down his handaxe, trying to cut JJ's throat.
Handaxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
But his movements are poor, like if he had difficulties to control his own body.
Buffs: Bless 3 min, +1 sacred AC r3
Red: 13 damage
Marigold: 20/29 hp
JJ: 24/28 hp
Round 2: Maxim, JJ, Marigold, Juraan, Ryan, Kikinnin, Foes
The curtains provide concealment and require a move action to go through, in case someone decides to enter a side room.
Maxim Snaphånce |
Sorry GM-R - my map never loaded up correctly so it looked like stonework rather than a bathing pool. Apologies! Have moved Maxim due south - means he is still on dry land! - hope this is okay?
(If so please keep above attack roll :)
Marigold Montajay |
Marigold's Round 2
Dismayed that her colorful magics had no effect on either wererat, Marigold quickly steps back towards her friends in an attempt to keep herself from getting completely surrounded.
Once more she hunkers down and attempts to call forth a bit of magic...
Casting Defensively (DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Feeling the magic surge forth she points a finger at one of the wererats and attempts to open a brief conduit into its mind, her own fear of death and fear for her friends racing along the shared connection...
Taking a 5 foot step back next to Ryan and casting Cause Fear on Yellow; DC 14 Will save again.
Juraan |
Juraan shoots an (elemental bloodline) acid ray at the wererat in front of him (yellow).
acid ray: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 (ranged touch, point-blank shot)
… and then backs up 5 ft towards one of the walls (so he can't be completely surrounded).
_JJ Surabar |
JJ Ignores Orak for the moment "Fight it man. You're a dwarf, no scummy enchantment should be able to overcome that!"
He slips around, setting up a flank for Kikinnin, should the axe-wielder choose to take it.
Then turning on Orak he strikes the dwarf with the flat of his blades.
"Sorry Orak, but I need all my blood inside my body."
TWF attack, NL: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 - 4 = 22

Kikinnin Rouradont |
Round 3
AC = 22
HP = 29/34
Weapon Equipped = MW Dwarven Greataxe
Condition(s) = Blessed
Kikinnin watches the wererats swarm about, taking his injury in stride, as a blade bled him, not fangs. He steps carefully around the basin, not interested in having to pull himself out of the water in full plate. He steps into flank with JJ provokes AoO, then aims to finish the thing with another hearty blow.
"Pay attention, you other rat-faces. When I'm done with him, I'll start my work on the next of you. You best abandon your aggressions here, before it's too late for you. It is for this one."
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, Smite, Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 30 for 1d10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 3 = 10 damage
Ryan Taskerhill |
"Stand tall we will prevail against these!" Ryan say too himself as much as any of the others Inspiring word(Ryan) 5/6 left
casting defensively(DC 17): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17
"divinam gratiam," Standing tall as the spell take it's hold, Ryan addresses Marigold. "Behind me Marigold.I'll hold them until Kikinnin can join me." knowing his mace while formidable would be hard pressed in this fight to deal lasting damamge.
standard - cast Divine favor +1 attack/damage for 1 minute
GM Rutseg |
The bang from Maxim's pistol reverberates at stone and crystal, the cartridge discharged on the closest wererat. The creature seems surprised by the terrible pain as the gunpowder opens a wide hole in its fur while a faint smoke shows the silver burns like an acid for it. The dwarf starts reloading at that moment.
Marigold ducks away once more between the wererats, the creatures unable to catch the short legged halfling. After finishing her spell the wererat seems to shake scared of what she has done.
Will (fear): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
But it does not run away.
An acid ray springs from Juraan's hand while one of the wererats attacks him profiting his lowering on the defenses when using the range attack.
AoO rapier-shaken: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Juraan Concentration DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Both acid and rapier strike their targets, both enemies suffering from the pain.
JJ attacks on Orak end with one sword terribly hitting him in the back of his head. The dwarf stepping to the side a bit dazed but looking back at JJ emotionless.
AoO Rapier Kikinnin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Kikinnin jumps over the smited wererat that unsuccessfully attempts to hit him. The dwarven waraxe crushing the rat's skull. His dwarf wielder pulling back the weapon while pushing to the floor the now dying wererat.
Ryan casts a spell taking attention to avoid attacks. His mace shines with Abadar's divine power.
The wererats counter attack, surrounding Marigold once more.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Rapier-shaken+flank: 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 + 2 = 18

Rapier+flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
Once again Marigold fences two attacks but another one goes straight for her face. Ryan's shield appears to safe the day and block the strike in the last moment.
The other wererat steps to the side to threaten the dangerous acid caster and flank Ryan.
Rapier+flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
P damage+sneak attack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 = 11
But the Cleric hits the rapier deflecting the attack.
Orak attacks JJ once more.
Handaxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
S damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
His handaxe cuts at the young left arm leaving a painful bleeding.

_JJ Surabar |
"Fight it Orak! You can do it!" calls out JJ, as he plies the fighting style he learned by watching the dark creeper only a week or so ago.
He attacks visciously with his main weapon, but with the off hand one, tries once again to knock out the dwarf - this time with a pommel to the head.
TWF: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11
TWF offhand, non lethal: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 - 4 = 15

"They are trying to get Marigold! He calls out, stuck at the far side of the room from his little sister"
Marigold Montajay |
Round 3
Not sure if the wererats think her a weak target or if there's some sort of ancient grudge against halflings that she's unaware of, Marigold ducks under more blows aimed at her and steps back onto the steps leading into the pool.
Her more offensive magicks having failed, she reaches for the only other trick she knows might work...
Casting Defensively (DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Only to have her foot slip on one of the steps, throwing off her casting as she pinwheels her arms to keep her balance.
Can't move myself at the moment but Marigold takes another 5 foot step back onto the steps next to the water.
Juraan |
Juraan steps back 5 feet
(to provide flanking on yellow for Marigold)
He then tries casting another acid ray (on yellow again)
acid ray: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
(bless, ranged touch, point-blank shot)
(flank doesn't count, since it's ranged touch)

Round 4
AC = 22
HP = 29/34
Weapon Equipped = MW Dwarven Greataxe
Condition(s) = Blessed
Kikinnin wheels about, suddenly aware of Marigold's predicament when he sees that none of the other wererats heeded his warning. When she backs off and onto the stairs, he rests a little easier. Seeing one so close, recognizing a personal need to be cautious as well, the black-beard brings his blade around, expecting the same judicial force to find the side of the evil creature.
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 damage
He smiles as the blade finds its mark, but his eyes widen when his axe seems to do nothing against the rodent. Confused, Kikinnin barks. "What?! What'd I do, Abadar?? You were just with me a moment ago!! Their nature didn't change, I don't..."
Ryan Taskerhill |
As Marigold steps back Ryan swings at the wererats (green) to prevent their following.
Heavy Mace+Bless+DF: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16

GM Rutseg |
JJ swings his swords, one hits Orak in the left arm, the second one seems almost to fail but moved by a divine force it strikes in the last moment in the dwarf right leg.
Marigold ducks away once more between the wererats, but this time the creatures force her to dodge in a critical moment making her to lose her spell.
Juraan places himself in a dangerous position in an attempt to safe Marigold. Observing the effectiveness of his ray he shots once more while the wererat in front attempts to interrupt his casting.
AoO rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Juraan Concentration DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
The acid burns once more the wererat hairy skin while it shrieks horribly.
The wererat manages to stab it's rapier in Juraan's chest, making him to almost lose his spell.
Kikinnin goes over another wererat, his axe cutting strongly at the creatures left arm. The hairy skin results incredibly resistant this time though, and no visible damage is left where it should had been an open gash.
Ryan attack is strong, but the wererat's armor deflects the mace.
The wererats attack once more. At a squeak of the one being burned by Juraan's acid, one more comes to gang up with it, stepping to flank the professor.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Round 5: Maxim (x2), JJ, Marigold, Juraan, Ryan, Kikinnin, Foes
Maxim Snaphånce |
Sorry gang - the work trap strung again! GM-R we on R4 or R5?? By my reckoning its R4 but nae sure... :S
@Juraan: Believe you can only use 1 Hero Point per round unless you are cheating death by burning 2 (only used on a confirmed kill situation). GM-R will likely confirm
Round 3? - Buffs: Bless (+1 to hit & +1 fear saves)
Satisfied his newly crafted ammunition passes in-field testing, Maxim looks once again to reload his pistol with a alchemical silver cartridge (Move Action)
The gun-mage scowls as the melee erupts before him, knowing it will make bagging a rat all the more difficult. Never-the-less he once again charges his pistol with a fraction of his magicks (Arcane Strike - Swift Action), levels and fires at the already wounded were-rat (Green)
Ranged Touch: Pistol (+Bless-4 Firing into Melee): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 5
Damage: Pistol+Alchemical Silver Cartridge+Arcane Strike: 1d8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 1 = 2 (Overcomes DR)
Round 4? - Buffs: Bless (+1 to hit & +1 fear saves)
Cursing as his shot goes wayward (most likely) Maxim spits and focusses as he again reloads another alchemical silver cartridge (Move Action)
"C'mon! Little Lady needs this one!"
Once again charges his pistol with a fraction of his magicks (Arcane Strike - Swift Action) and grim-set he aims and fires at his wounded foe (Green)
Ranged Touch: Pistol (+Bless-4 Firing Into Melee): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage: Pistol+Alchemical Silver Cartridge+Arcane Strike: 1d8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 1 = 3 (Overcomes DR)

"Sorry Orak, but it is tarting to look like either you or me."

Maxim shots his gun hitting the ground he then reloads and fires again empowering his gun with magic. The bullet hits this time the targeted wererat piercing with ease the hairy skin.
Understanding Orak is having no pity, JJ swings both swords in an attempt to put an end to the fight. Both swords land true on the dwarf that starts taking its toll, the retired adventurer barely standing on his feet.
Juraan steps to the side and casts defensively, a couple of magic missiles darting from his hand to the most injured wererat. The magic burst the creature chest pushing him to the wall and falling unconscious to the magic of the professor.
Ryan raises one more time his holy symbol, a wave of healing energy taking everybody but the most injured wererat. Both of the fallen wererats open back their eyes.
The first one attempts to step up, provoking attacks from Kikinnin and JJ.
Another wererat attempts to step next to Juraan and pierce him through.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
But Abadar's energy deflects the hit in the last moment.

B/S/P damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Abadar's blessing barely deflecting the rapier.
The last wererat turns enraged to the source of the bullets and furiously tries to pin Maxim with its rapier without success.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
P damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
One of the rapiers take her very close to a vital point in the neck, opening a horrible wound without Ryan being able to do much about it.
Lastly, a reinvigorated Orak steps towards Kikinnin and attacks.
Handaxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
S damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
His handaxe hits one of the room walls producing metallic sparks while the dwarf keeps and absent gaze at Kikinnin.

Round 5: Maxim, JJ, Marigold (x2), Juraan, Ryan, Kikinnin (x2), Foes
I made a mistake, last turn was 4, this one is 5. Thanks Maxim for pointing it out.
Marigold Montajay |
Round 4
Despite taking another painful blow, Marigold tries once more to power through the pain and work her magic.
Casting Defensively (DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
But the pain of her wounds disrupts her thoughts, ruining her focus.
Round 5
Seeing Juraan in even worse straits than herself, Marigold attempts to duck around one of the wererats befoe trying yet again to focus her magic.
Casting Defensively (DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
She manages to power her way through the pain, feeling a warm sense of protection flow through her being.
On this round Marigold 5 foot steps to the left and manages to get off a Protection from Evil on herself. Hang on Juraan, I'm trying to get there!
_JJ Surabar |
AOO
JJ lashes out at the vulnerable wererat, not really expecting to be able to do much against it.
attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
CI damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
He keeps his attention on Orak, dismayed that the dwarf benefits so much from Ryan's healing.
"Ryan, keep the healing off Orak, it'll be almost impossible to keep him alive otherwise."
attack, TWF,bless: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 + 1 = 9
attack, TWF,bless: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 25

AoO v Smited Red
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, Smite: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 12 for 1d10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 3 = 12 damage, bypasses DR
"Not the rats, Ryan! For Abadar's sake, we're trying to keep them down, and now here they are, popping back up again, like they were playing possum!"
Round 5
AC = 23, Channel
HP = 29/34
Weapon Equipped = MW Dwarven Greataxe
Condition(s) = Bless, Smite v Red
Kikinnin frustrates if Red doesn't fall dead to his first renewed attack, so doubles down, hoping to end it in order to concentrate on the continued threat across the room. The black-beard utters a sigh of wonder as the axe connects solidly, and severs the flesh markedly.
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, Smite, Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 31 for 1d10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 3 = 11 damage, bypasses DR
Round 6
If Red is still not dead, Kikinnin takes another moment to make sure there's no doubt about its appointment with Pharasma.
Coup de Grace: 3d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 9, 4) + 6 + 9 = 31
If Red is already dead, Kikinnin joins JJ in pounding the one-eyed dwarf into unconsciousness for his viable threat to their continued health.
MW Dwarven Greataxe, Bless, non-lethal: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 19 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 non-lethal damage
