The Spires of Xin-Shalast: RotRL Part 6 (Inactive)

Game Master Elmdorprime

You guys are back up by the way - the only giants up have cast and the others are nauseated or dazed and unable to act against you.

I'm not sure if the map is current. I think I killed any giant within a 5' reach.

Vars will move up to the next giant inside and attack it.

power attack, dazing assault, inspire courage
to hit: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (10) + 33 = 43 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 37 + (5) = 48 DC 28 fort save or dazed for 1 round

The map is current.

The giants are like a delivery service for the murder hobo nation, just bringing me more and more to kill.

Ok, iterative attacks then.

to hit: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 37 + (5) = 49
to hit: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 37 + (3) = 46
to hit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 37 + (3) = 45

confirm: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (15) + 32 = 47 damage: 2d8 + 74 ⇒ (6, 3) + 74 = 83

Ah, the Pathfinder Society - murdering unsuspecting natives for fun and profit.

Vars vicious attacks fell the cloud giant - leaving only the storm giants and the still fleeing giants earlier.

Vuvu moves up behind Vars and casts Grease underneath the fleeing giants

DC 21

There are two, fleeing in opposite directions - which one did you want to cast grease under?

The one that is fleeing away from the others. If I do not know that then the one that went to the right

Duhwoo will run around the corner to square J10, putting his back to the wall there, and activate "Come 'n' Git Me" -- with, Lunge, Power Attack, and Reckless Abandon...
_____________

I pretty much expect the giants to use their storm powers instead of melee attacks -- but just in case:

first AoO: 1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 32 + 4 = 51
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 41
for 2d4 + 36 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 36 + 4 + (1) = 45 points of damage
crit confirm check: 1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 32 + 4 = 46
if AC 46 confirms, then another 2d4 + 36 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 36 + 4 = 43 points of damage

2nd AoO: 1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 32 + 4 = 46
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 89
for 2d4 + 36 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 36 + 4 + (4) = 47 points of damage

3rd AoO: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (9) + 32 = 41
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 19 ...

4th AoO: 1d20 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 32 + 4 = 41
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 100
for 2d4 + 36 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 36 + 4 + (4) = 52 points of damage

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

The giant maintains its footing on the suddenly appeared smear of oil.

Avoreal, Trotter?

Avoreal moves and missiles one of the storm giants..

MM: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 2, 2) + 5 = 16

Trotter hops along, following the fleeing giants. Double move after them.

The giants at the door retaliate, one throwing a boulder at the impertinent mage, the other at the deadly barbarian.

Attack (Boulder): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 Avoreal
Attack (Boulder): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 Duhwoo

One boulder moves wide of the wizard, but the boulder hitting Duhwoo hits solidly.

Damage (Boulder): 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (2, 4) + 22 = 28 Duhwoo

Map updated, GO!

I think he is flirting with you Woo! You should go wrassle him!

Vuvu flies and slap woo on the butt casting jesters jaunt and teleporting him next to the Giants so he can full attack to his hearts content

Move to J17 and engage that giant.

power attack, dazing assault, inspire courage
to hit: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (2) + 33 = 35 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 37 + (2) = 40 DC 28 fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round.

50% miss chance on that boulder? 1-50 misses

Whoops forgot!

Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 63

I'll assume the jaunt put the Duh into square K-4 -- he'll start with the creep in L-5; for a change, he'll throw Dazing Assault in with Power Attack, Reckless Abandon, and "Come 'n' Git Me":

first attack, using Dazing Assault: 1d20 + 37 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 37 - 5 + 4 = 51
crit confirm check: 1d20 + 37 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 37 - 5 + 4 = 54
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 41
for 4d4 + 72 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 3) + 72 + 8 + (5) = 96 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...

iterative #1, using Dazing Assault: 1d20 + 27 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 27 - 5 + 4 = 28
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 27
if AC 28 somehow hits, then 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (4, 2) + 36 = 42 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...

iterative #2, using Dazing Assault: 1d20 + 22 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 22 - 5 = 29
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 10 ...

iterative #3, using Dazing Assault: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 5 = 21
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 15 ...

__________

Come 'n' Git Me:

first AoO, with Dazing Assualt: 1d20 + 32 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 32 - 5 + 4 = 34
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 39
for 2d4 + 36 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 36 + 4 + (5) = 50 points of damage -- and a DC 26 Fort save...

first AoO, with Dazing Assualt: 1d20 + 32 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 32 - 5 + 4 = 38
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 3 ...

first AoO, with Dazing Assualt: 1d20 + 32 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 32 - 5 + 4 = 35
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 99
for 2d4 + 36 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 36 + 4 + (1) = 47 points of damage -- and a DC 26 Fort save...

first AoO, with Dazing Assualt: 1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 32 - 5 = 28
20% miss chance due to blinking: 1d100 ⇒ 81 ...

Vars, what giant are you attacking?

Fortitude: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

28 does not hit, no.

The giant is gravely wounded by Duhwoo's attack, the Storm Giant nonetheless remains able to respond to the blurring attack.

Trotter fires on the fleeing giant!

deadly aim, luck +4, point blank +1, rapid shot -2, greater heroism +4, grit point to add +7 Cha to damage

pea shooter: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 23 see below
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 = 22

pea shooter: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 = 23

pea shooter: 1d20 + 14 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 14 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 = 24

pea shooter: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 31
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 7 = 25

Do we still have inspire going? I didn't add it in, not sure if it's going or how much.

Lucky pistol reroll:
pea shooter: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 35

The giant at I16-I18.

I think you're looking at an old map Vars - your should be looking at X1-16.

Trotter's bullets hit the fleeing giant, but don't kill it outright.

Yes, I was. I'll be at J7 and attack that cloud giant (assuming it is still up).

Fortitude: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

The giant manages to avoid being dazed, but it's still nauseated.

Avoreal?

Well, that's more waiting than we probably should have done.

The storm giants respond to the presence of Duhwoo with extreme violence, one lashing out at him with its giant greatsword, the other calling lightning back down.

Damage = 44 or 39 with DC 15 Reflex save.

The giant nearly misses with his sword in response to the wildly blinking human, the cloud giants remain nauseated.

Meanwhile, Avoreal seems to be trapped in some sort of time stop bubble! Really just a way to skip her turn until she returns.

Go!

Sry im on outage atm, so my post rate will be killed for the next few weeks..

Magic Missile again.. 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3, 2) + 5 = 14

Vars will try to finish the cloud giant off.

power attack, inspire courage
to hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (19) + 38 = 57 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 37 + (6) = 50
to hit: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (8) + 33 = 41 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 37 + (1) = 40
to hit: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 37 + (4) = 47
to hit: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 37 + (4) = 45

confirm: 1d20 + 42 ⇒ (4) + 42 = 46 damage: 2d8 + 74 ⇒ (7, 7) + 74 = 88

Likely the first crit killed it. If so Vars will move to M5, likely provoking from both storm giants.

Thanks for the heads up Avoreal, I'll have your PC trail along if you're in and out for a while.

Vars - yep, that'd do it.

Vars ridiculous attacks against the giant might look like a toddler beating up on a grown man, but the toddler's swings cut deep into the cloud giant, causing it to fall in front of the storm giants.

Both giants retaliate against the fighter.

Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (20) + 27 = 47 Ha! 5% chance to hit AC 50 and it worked!
Attack (Greatsword, Confirm Crit): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (18) + 27 = 45 Not Confirmed.
Damage (Greatsword): 4d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 1) + 21 = 34

Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41

Only one of their attacks against the fighter strikes home, allowing the dangerous human to close into melee range almost unscathed.

"You dared to hit me? Ok, now I'm mad. "

Duhwoo lashes out wildly -- using Lunge, Power Attack, Reckless Abandon, Dazing Assault, and "Come and Get Me". He can take a 5' step between attacks if the first target falls, and Lunge will allow him to attack the next one;

third round since activating Blinking...

Vuvu continues his song, then casts Wandering Star Motes on the giant at K-7. DC 24 Will if it makes the save the spell immediately goes to another within 30 ft. until there are no more within 30 ft

Trotter keeps firing on the giant fleeing the other way. If it's still there I guess.

deadly aim, luck +4, point blank +1 (remove if it's further away), rapid shot -2, greater heroism +4

pea shooter: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 19

pea shooter: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 19 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 18

pea shooter: 1d20 + 14 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 19

pea shooter: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 31
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 19

Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Fortitude: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37
Fortitude: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

Everyone saves!

Duhwoo kills the storm giant he was attacking.

Trotter kills the cloud giant he was attacking.

Guys, c'mon - I can't describe everything you do eloquently.

The last storm giant is left standing above his fallen fellows, and he attacks as best he can about the interlopers!

Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (4) + 27 = 31
Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
Attack (Greatsword): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

Sadly it is unable to attack the tiny human at its feet.

Go!

Why did you use fort saves?

Delaying until the murderhobos act

"Ok, time to end your service. You wont be getting a pension. "
power attack, inspire courage
to hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (7) + 38 = 45 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 37 + (5) = 45
to hit: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (14) + 33 = 47 damage: 1d8 + 37 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 37 + (1) = 42

to confirm: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (6) + 32 = 38 damage: 2d8 + 74 ⇒ (1, 2) + 74 = 77

Vars continues hacking away at the legs of the giant. He knows there's major arteries in there somewhere. On his third blow he strikes gold rupturing the femoral.
assuming 38 confirms

Dazed from Duhwoo's successful attacks.

And with that quip, the last giant in the first two rooms falls, casting a dreadful silence where once the halls rang with the sounds of combat.

"Doubt there's any point in knocking. Someone want to check the door?"

dropping out of rage, Duhwoo starts resting up from all that raging; while resting, he'll use a few charges from his wand o' Cure Serious Wounds:

3xCSW: 9d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 6, 7, 1, 1, 6, 2, 4, 8) + 15 = 51

"Ah fer sure enjoyed that bit o' battle dancin' -- but Ah reckons ya oughta wait a few b'fore op'nin up that there door: Ah gotta set fer a spell..."

Alright does anyone need some healing?

Trotter runs over to catch up with the party. He checks the door before allowing the Brute Squad to lead the way in.

Perception: 1d20 + 39 ⇒ (10) + 39 = 49 (+2 for traps)

"One of those damned giants actually hit me. He must have confused me with Duh. That will surely stain my reputation for a while. I could use some fixing. "

"Shall we continue?"

"Ah could use a extra li'l dose o' healin' my own se'f, if'n ya don't mind Mr Zoo-eller..." sez Duh wearily.

"Ah'd 'preciate it if'n y'alls gimme a minute ta rest up my arms: swingin' extra hard on them big'uns is hard work!"

"Yes Duh, you can take a breather. Didn't seem that any of them got in further to sound an alarm. "
