Nathaniel Greenfellow |
Nathaniel shakes his head, the haze and strange images that had been filling it vanishing like morning mist. Hefting his axe, he jogs towards the strongman.
Move to N9 and attack Oleg with battleaxe. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7. I have factored ‘human’ favoured enemy bonuses into these rolls, if Oleg is not human please subtract 2 from to hit and damage rolls.
Edit, not that it will matter with that roll ...
Eliva Smith |
Eliva moved into the center of the room and glared at the dancing women. "Erastil judges those that destroy the harmony of a community! I am here to make sure you can not continue this evil!" she growled as she called Erastil's judgement of destruction down on them. She drew her bowstring back again, ready to strike the first woman that attempted to cast a spell on her or her friends.
Eliva moves to O8 and readies an action to shoot the first of the two women that attempts to cast a spell.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 - 1 = 22 (point blank shot and curse)
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7 (+2 from destruction judgement, +1 from point blank shot)
Celestial GM |
Playing for Urdrin.
Urdrin moves to set up a flank. He swings at Oleg with his axe. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
The strike is vicious, and Oleg goes down with a heavy thud.
Angalia, it occurred to me that if you are looking for a sneak attack, you could go for Zaria. She is stunned and therefore loses her Dex bonus to AC (the PF equivalent of granting combat advantage in 4e).
Angalia (repost - Oleg is dead. You can continue delaying if you like.)

Erfan's magic missiles strike Zaria soundly.
Zorya begins casting, which triggers an arrow from Eliva.
Concentration 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
She heals Zaria for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
They move over to where Nik lies sleeping and Zaria reaches down to shake him awake.
Angalia gets an attack of opportunity on either one of them as they move away from her.

Angalia's blade flashes out instinctively as the duplicitous twins move away.
Just a quick advance warning. I may be slow posting for the next week. I've got a youth theatre show in the final stages and will be extremely pushed for time.
Celestial GM |
Angalia nicks Zaria with her blade as the twin passes by. Meanwhile, Tiffana's crossbow bolt passes wide of its target.
Nik awakens just as the rings on the floor shift and he finds himself face to face with Res. With a sneer, he leaps to his feet and cuts at the cleric of Gorum.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Res gets an attack of opportunity as Nik stands

Res Thannq |
"You should have stayed down!" Res shouts at Nik.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9
Possible Crit: Confirming Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 Extra Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11 Bless's +1 cancels the twins -1 singing effect.
As Nik attempts to stand and stab at Res, he savagely swings at Nik nearly severing the man.
If Nik survived that critical hit. Res will attack again: Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 1 = 11 Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 2 = 15, otherwise, he will charge the twins and swing at Zaria (add + 2 to the roll above for the charge). Res's AC drops back to 15 until his next round.
Nathaniel Greenfellow |
Nathaniel almost cheers when Res cuts down Nik, not sorry to see the horrible man dead. He charges across the inner circle to reach the twins, where he swings his axe at Zorya.
Charge to O7, charge attack Zorya with axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6. I have factored in favoured enemy bonuses, if Zorya is not human please subtract 2 from the hit and damage rolls.

Eliva Smith |
Eliva moves into the room, keeping her bow aimed at the women suspciously, ready to loose an arrow at the slightest arcane murmur.
Same - attempt to interrupt any spellcasting from the ladies. Move to L6.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 26 (point blank shot, bless and dancing)
Damage: 1d8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 1 = 8 (point blank shot and dancing)

Erfan casts daze on Zorya. DC 16 Will save. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Her sister dazed, Zaria tries to beguile Angalia with a spell.
Eliva fires an arrow which hits. Concentration 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Her spell is lost.
All the same, Urdrin can take an attack of opportunity.

Urdrin misses his opportunity to swing at the twins, while Tiffana's crossbow bolt passes wide of its mark. Again, the floors shift in time with the wild organ music, carrying the twins out of harm's way. They look battered, but determined to go down swinging.

Res Thannq |
As the twins move away on the moving floor, Res charges forward to attack again. He takes great swing at Zaria with his greatsword.
Charge and Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 - 1 - 1 = 14, damage 2d6 + 4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 4 + 2 - 1 = 16 I assume the -1 is still in effect from the twins singing, if not add 1 to the rolls. Res's AC remains at 15 due to the charge.
Celestial GM |
Res and Nathaniel, as if in tandem, succeed in finally silencing the twins. They fall to the ground, but still the automated contraptions of the chamber play on in mock festivity. The rings on the floor continue their rotations; the organ never ceases its wild playing. Again, a shrill laughter peals through the chamber.
Nathaniel Greenfellow |
Nathaniel stands panting, the twin’s blood dripping from his axe. A tear comes unbidden to his eye as he stares down at the conjoined women, both beautiful and horrific in death. After a moment he steps off the rotating ring and stands for a moment, dizzy from the spinning floor, the maddening strains of the organ and the shrill laughter.
If we are still on init, Nath takes no action next round other than a five foot step, as he mentally recovers from the battle.
Nathaniel Greenfellow |
While the ladies examine the organ, Nathaniel gazes slowly around the room, waiting for another peal of the manic laughter, trying to determine its point of origin. His gaze rests for a moment on the door in the other corner of the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 (further +2 vs humans for the laughter if applicable).
Res Thannq |
While the others investigate the organ loft and the room, he begins the grim task of searching the bodies for keys, papers or other clues to the mysterious laughing plaque. Also, if he finds any other useful items such as potions, weapons or armor he retrieves those items as well. perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Celestial GM |
Between Angalia's investigations and Eliva's detect magic, you are able to uncover a great deal about the organ. No mechanical system causes it to play itself; the instrument is enchanted. It's a very large, very heavy magic item. It's activation is astoundingly simple: there is a switch to turn it on and off. Between the two of you, you are able to ascertain its effect, which is rather banal for such an elaborate instrument.
The instrument increases the save DC of any bardic music abilities employed by those within listening distance by 1. It might be worth some money, but it weighs several thousand pounds and is anchored to the floor.
For those investigating the laughter, roll a Will save.
Searching the room, Res finds:
Oleg and Nik have mundane gear only.
Zorya has a ring and a scroll, while Zaria has an amulet, a potion, and a set of keys.
Unfortunately, he does not find any letters or other particularly revealing items.
Ring of Protection +1
Amulet of Natural Armor +1
Scroll of remove fear
Potion of Cure Light Wounds
The keys are just keys, but who doesn't love keys?
