Gods I love chaos sorcerers


Kronag, Sun, Jun 7, 2009, 02:38 PM

Kronag shifts targets to the apparent leader, and heaves a violent throw with his sling, catching the creature between the eyes. Disheartening/Furious on W (1d20+6=24, 1d6+4+1d8=13) Disheartening Strike hits, and I use Furious Assault again (it wasn't used last time because I missed), total 13hp and he is, if still up, rattled -- -2 to attacks TEOMNT. Still stuck.


Lareth, Sun, Jun 7, 2009, 05:30 PM

Taking a deep breath Lareth feels somehow refreshed and ready for the next fight. takes healing surge granted. Does this mean that someone next to eclipse can gain hp?

Yeah, but there wasn't anyone - except me - when I cast, and I wasn't hurt then :) I'm bloodied now, though. Way to go me on timing! :)


Laz, Sun, Jun 7, 2009, 07:39 PM

"Gyahhhhh" the shot slams hard into the wyrmpriests skull. An actual dent can be seen. It's a wonder that he or the slinger are still standing. More amazing that they still fight on! Initiative Adrana (2 ongoing fire damage, save ends) g1-4 (g4 prone) Lareth Jocarra (Bloodied) Brazimal W (Bloodied, Slowed until end of Brazimal's next turn) Corrin SL (Bloodied) Kronag (Immoboilized, save ends) MAP


Kronag, Sun, Jun 7, 2009, 07:54 PM

"Just wait!" Kronag yells at the wyrmpriest, as he reloads his sling. "I've got more!" Please remember the -2 to attacks, should he live so long!


Adrana Louise, Sun, Jun 7, 2009, 08:55 PM

Adrana moves forward to help her dog even through her immense pain. Just as she does so bruno attempts to bite the creature in front of him. Adrana moves to M8 Bruno's Attack vs. AC 1d20+5=9 Save Throw (1d20=13)


Lareth, Mon, Jun 8, 2009, 08:02 AM

When it’s my move I’ll do the following Thanks for the heads up Kronag, hey wait a minute, what are you doing all the way back there? Lareth shouts as he glances at the encroaching fire. Heedless of the danger he leaps on to the trestle table in front of him and slides feet first, cups, plates and other merchandise scatter everywhere. He slips past Corrin with a glib hello laddie before dropping off the stall to land next to the Kobold spellcaster. Murder written across his face he states this is for Jonathan you sack of s!!%! Kronag: sorry can’t help with the save. Lareth moves to K8 via J9, athletics roll (1d20+7=18). Then uses Strength of Stone with flanking on W vs AC (1d20+8+2=21, 1d8+4=12) and he gains 2 temporary HP.

Laz, Mon, Jun 8, 2009, 12:11 PM

"I'll kill you monster" g1 screams heading at the wyrmpriest. The slinger fumbling with his next shot doesn't even notice the charging warrior. 1d20+6=21, Damage 4. Dang never thought that would hit g1 plunges his blade deep into the kobolds chest. the wyrmpriest coughs up blood seemingly on his last legs. g4 stands from the ground and rubs his aching head. Lareth's attack is the topping on the cake. The wyrmpriest falls dead on his face. The slinger looks shocked, and wonders to fight on or run. Initiative Jocarra (Bloodied) Brazimal W (Bloodied, Slowed until end of Brazimal's next turn) Corrin SL (Bloodied) Kronag (Immoboilized, save ends) Adrana g1-4 Lareth MAP


Jocarra Delorr, Mon, Jun 8, 2009, 05:59 PM

"That was most uncivilized." Jocarra says. "Did you see how they harmed me, that just will not do. Yes, yes, it's time to punish them. With claws." The girl gestures towards the two remaining kobolds, and suddenly spiritual cats appear from the air, leap and claw at them, and vanish. Twin Panthers. Initial Target: SL. 1d20+6=10 Likely a miss. Second target: W. 1d20+6=15 Damage to any hit: 1d8+4=6


Laz, Mon, Jun 8, 2009, 11:14 PM

Jocarra Delorr wrote: Second target: W. 1d20+6=15 Damage to any hit: 1d8+4=6 [/ooc] Jocarra, W is already down. My mistake for being in a rush and not updating the order correctly. I applied the second attack to SL. The slinger shrieks one last time as the soectral claws rip flesh. g1 and 4 are left panting, greenhorns not fit for the field yet. The fire rages on ingiting everything in sight! The party can help man the water bucket. Taking the place of those closest to the flame. Doing so is a grueling task. The repeated moving and dumping of buckets. Added to that the intense heat now coming from the blaze. Alternativly members with cold powers have the ability to put out squares with a successful attack roll. This counts as a skill challenge (4 successful endurance checks before 2 failures). Diplomacy can be used in the challenge (does not count toward a failure or success), inspiring the towns folk and party members. Resulting in a +2 bonus to the next Endurance check made. Also would it be easier for you as group to keep the same initiative (Brazimal would be next in case)? If so the fire will go on SL's initiative, growing two squares.


Kronag, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 06:51 AM

In terms of initiative, I'm rather invested in the question of where the fire is vis-a-vis the timing of Kronag breaking free . . .


Lareth, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 06:58 AM

I'm happy to stay in initiative order but Lareths Diplomacy is only +2 and his endurance is even worse so he's going to have to do some assisting and help with the bucket brigade I think Lareth takes a deep breath relieved that the fight is over and coughs repeatedly as he realises the extent of the fire that has started overwhelming the common. He casts about looking for the reassuring figure of Sergeant Gerdrand, surely he'll know what to do.


Lareth, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 07:09 AM

While looking around his eyes settle upon the struggling half-orc Kronag. Don't worry K, I'm on my way. People often said that a half-orc and half-elf would never be friends and of course it started out that way, but over time a mutual respect developed between the two and if not exactly friends then at least companions in battle. When its my go I'll move over to Kronag quickly and assist him to break free. hopefully giving him a +2 on his next save. If its needed athletics (1d20+7=23)to help Kronag break free.


Brazimal, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 08:37 AM

Brazimal looks at the growing fire with dismay. She rushes forward and points her finger at the nearest group of flames and casts a spell, a beam of ice rushes towards the fire. Move to M10.Ray of Frost on H9 1d20+4 [19,4] = (23). I'm fine with staying in intiative order or whatever the group decides.


Corrin Halfmoon, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 09:01 AM

Corrin spends a few moments rubbing his forehead when he realizes the fire is getting dangerously close, at which point he makes an odd yelping noise and vaults away from the shop. "Come on everyone, haul those buckets! Fast now, or the whole market will burn down! And after that, the whole town! Come on, carry those buckets!..." Overall, he's oddly inspirational for that's only knee-high. Diplomacy: 24


Laz, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 03:40 PM

With a flick of her wrist Brazimal quells the flames. Corrin's speach inspires his friends and the guards. g1 and 4 go to man the buckets. +2 to endurance check. Initiative Kronag (Immoboilized, save ends) Adrana g1/4 Lareth Jocarra Brazimal Corrin Fire MAP, The new yellow line shows where the bucket brigade is. Entering the squares begins the skill challenge.


Kronag, Tue, Jun 9, 2009, 03:49 PM

"Lareth, and you halfling! Get out of there!" he cries. With a lurch, Kronag finally wrenches his legs free of the glue. Save (1d20=17)


Jocarra Delorr, Wed, Jun 10, 2009, 06:09 AM

Jocarra leans on her spear and watches the bucket brigade clearly content to let the people who hid from the kobolds put out the fire.


Adrana Louise, Wed, Jun 10, 2009, 12:04 PM

Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that I'm going to be out of town from tomorrow afternoon til monday evening sometime. Feel free to DM PC me as needed.


Laz, Wed, Jun 10, 2009, 03:11 PM

Adrana moves to join the brigade. "Stay there Bruno" she orders the hound out of harms way. Ricky, g1, g4 scramble to join the others hauling water. Initiative Lareth Jocarra Brazimal Corrin Fire Kronag Adrana Remeber the first person to make an Endurance Check gets a +2 bonus MAP


Laz, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 12:17 AM

Lareth, seeing Kronag free himself of the glue, jumps over the stall and heads to the bucket line. Endurance check, 1d20+2+2=22 Jocarra watches as others scramble to put out the fire. The reflection of the fire in her eyes adding to her creepy demeanor. Initiative Brazimal Corrin Fire Kronag Adrana Lareth Jocarra MAP


Brazimal, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 12:31 AM

Brazimal points her finger at another section of the flames and once again casts a spell of ice to douse the fire. Ray of Frost attack on I8 1d20+4 [17,4] = (21)


Lareth, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 04:41 AM

Let's keep this water pumping Lareth says as he puts in a monumental effort to save as many of the stalls as possible. During a short lull he asks to anyone who'll listen, so has anyone heard of these Bonecrushers before, I mean I know theres been trouble on the roads into town but this is pretty serious when they start to come right in like this! thanks for the top roll btw Laz. I'll stay helping with the buckets till the fires out or we have to fall back


Kronag, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 12:15 PM

I suggest after Corrin and the fire go, that we drop out of init order to speed things up -- I think Kronag being stuck was the only thing where initiative mattered much


Corrin Halfmoon, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 12:23 PM

"Come on everyone, haul those buckets!" Diplomacy: 15


Laz, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 04:01 PM

Just got up and have to head out. I'll post when I get back in.


Laz, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 08:50 PM

The brigade passes the buckets as quickly as they can. Corrin's words keep them and the rest of the party motivated. Sweat pours from Lareth, the flames licking at his skin. Bit by bit the flames are bring put out, but at the same time they still slowly spread. Successes 2 Failures 0. The next endurance check has a +2 bonus thaks to Corrin. If everyone's okay with dropping intitative, I'm good. If not Kronag's up.


Lareth, Thu, Jun 11, 2009, 10:33 PM

I'm happy to drop out of init order, etiher way my next action will be since I'm going to be off line for 24hrs Lareth, while busily passing buckets notices a couple of villagers, in fact fellow workers from the Fallcrest stables are having difficulty breathing from all the smoke. Hey, you guys you need to move away from there. He drops out of line quickly and gets them away from the danger area and helps them recover. I'll try to help some people who are suffering from smoke inhalation, hopefully it can help with the skill challenge. Heal check (1d20+6=18)


Laz, Fri, Jun 12, 2009, 12:06 AM

Since Pat will be outta town today and internet availabiliy is iffy I'll go ahead and roll for Kronag. Kronag finally free rushes to help the townsfolk and friends. Joining the lone he starts to dump baucket after bucket on the flames. Endurance 1d20+3+2=12


Laz, Sat, Jun 13, 2009, 02:24 AM

Adrana move into the line with the others. Bruno looks on whining hoping for his masters safety. Endurance, 1d20+1=9 Lareth turns his attention from the blaze to the people. 3 successes, 1 failure. Initiative Jocarra Brazimal Corrin Fire Kronag Adrana Lareth MAP


Laz, Sat, Jun 13, 2009, 07:42 PM

Jocarra stays her ground watching the world around her burn. Initiative Brazimal Corrin Fire Kronag Adrana Lareth Jocarra MAP


Brazimal, Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 12:40 AM

Brazimal moves closer to the fire and casts another ice spell. Move to J11 and cast Ray of Frost on G11 1d20+4 [17,4] = (21)


Corrin Halfmoon, Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 09:01 AM

"Come on, haul those buckets!" We better not need many more successes. I can't think of any more inspirational things to yell. Diplomacy: 28

Initiative Kronag Adrana Lareth Jocarra Brazimal Corrin Fire +2 to the next Endurance Check MAP


Kronag, Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 03:10 PM

Kronag does his best on the bucket line. Endurance (1d20+3+2=13)


Laz, Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 06:31 PM

Kronag, his comrades, the whole town rise to the challenge. Over the next hour the fire is finally contained, embers put out. Townfolk come and thank the the heroes for saving the town and containing the fire to the Green. "This reminds of a story from the Bloodspear War. As the orcs ravaged..." Teldorthan walks by Kronag and begins talking about the past. After spending so much time with the old dwarf your sure you've heard this one before. The guards and militia crew begin cleanup of the Green when they all of sudden come to attention and salute. Cominng up the green is a handsome man in his fortys. Lareth instantly knows the man as Nathan Faringray, captain on the militia. He asks one of the men a question and he points in Lareth's direction. "I hear you were the first one to respond to the attack" he hold a hand out "Good work soldier. If not for you and your friends this could have become worse. I hope to hear a report of the event" Jocarra takes the time to slip by the people and go to Sandercot Provisioners to buy her families goods. Brazimal, caught up in excitement of flexing her mystical muscle, realizes she's almost forgot about Nimozaran. As people continue on, one thing still nags in your minds. "How did kobolds enter the town? And what was with their behavior?"


Laz, Sun, Jun 14, 2009, 11:59 PM

Stop by the Discussion page. The xp totals from the fight and challenge are posted.


Lareth, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 05:00 AM

Unaccustomed to being addressed by such an august person Lareth stammers a reply W..Well thank you s...s..ir, I j...just saw some smoke comin from the Lucky Gnome and I just sort a reacted, I hope that's ok? Oh, a..a.also sir, they were carryin on about someat ta do wit the Bonecrushers, but I got no clue what they mean. I'll spend 2 healing surges to get back to full hp as we rest


Kronag, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 05:22 AM

Seeing Faringray arrive, Kronag tries to melt into the background of people still working. One surge, back to full


Laz, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 05:22 AM

"Bonecrushers, eh. They're one of the many tribes located in and around the Cloak Wood. But to see them here, and attacking with such ferocity..." Nathan pauses as he surveys the charred Green "Do you know if anyone noticed anything before the attacks?"


Laz, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 05:31 AM

Trying to make himself scarce, Kronag disappears into the flock of onlookers and guardsmen. Through the corner of his eye he notice something. The slingers bag which he was keeping his shot looks oddly full, and Kronag notices a green ball hanging out the side.


Kronag, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 06:30 AM

Kronag slips off to investigate, ideally doing so within one of the empty stalls.


Laz, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 06:48 AM

Kronag Spoiler: Opening the bag the half-orc finds a rusted metal loop. On the loop scales of differnet shades of color. A crudely made bone charm, etched to look like a dragons head. 16 stone bullets, but it's what's in a bottom of the that's most interesting, and disturbing! 12 small pots! Each pot is one of three colors (Red, Green, White). Kronag knows instantly what the red and white pots are. Having been stuck in place by th kobold glue and watching as Adrana was engulfed in flame. The green remains a mystery. Rolled randomly for this, and invisblecastle wound up rolling high... REALLY high. 2 Stinkpot (Green): The target takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls (save ends). Though Kronag doesn't now this yet. 8 Firepot (Fire, Red): The target takes ongoing 2 fire damage (save ends). 2 Gluepot (White): The target is immobilized (save ends).

Nathan pauses as he surveys the charred Green "Do you know if anyone noticed anything before the attacks?" N...no sir, I don't remember seeing anything strange at the kings gate before the fire. Maybe some of the others that helped me fight them off may have seen somethin, there were a few people running away when I got here, maybe they have an idea.


Laz, Mon, Jun 15, 2009, 07:09 AM

"Check with you friends see if they saw anything before the attacks. If they did report to me or your watch sergeant. Whatever you do don't try to tackle this job alone" He gives Lareth a smile and a nod and goes checking on the cleanup.
