thanks for rolling for me gme, i'm now in my hotel for the night and will be able to make posts until 7am pacific time tomorrow... then I'm back to no posting until afternoon sometime, when I will finally be HOME!!!

Kalistrine kills the corby with her left claw.

Combat Over Everyone add 480 xp

I haven't been tracking XP. Will you just tell us when we've reached enough to level?

I would but everyone has different XP numbers due to different actions and the relationship dynamic scores. I honestly have a lot to track and you should count your own xp

Fair enough. How much XP did Tribble and I start at?

Starting for level 3

Alrighty, I backtracked and added up the XP. It's in my profile.

Ok, where do you want to go, through the front door or back, some other tactic?

"So these are the creatures occupying the fort?" she asks, poking one with the butt of her Ranseur after picking it up. "They got anything good on them? What are they?" she asks. "Oh, and if anyone's got some healing, I can use some. They got nasty claws. Not as nasty as mine." she adds, admiring her own.

"It looks like it", Vermundr says as he retrieves a few of his arrows.

Recover: 5d2 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 1, 2) = 8

Might as well start at the front.

Not sure how much healing you need Kali, so assuming the 25/43 is correct

Ahiko reaches out, and does a cure light on Kali

clw healing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Ahiko follows the healing on Kali by touching herself with her CLW wand.

CLW healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Does anyone else need their wounds healed?"

"Thanks Ahiko." she says. The wounds on her skin are still there, but are better.

Can use 9 more if anyone has any to spare.

Ahiko smiles at Kali. "No difficulty, my friend. Let me help you more." She reaches out and touches her with the wand.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Seeing only some of her wounds heal, Ahiko touches her yet again with the wand.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Thanks again Ahiko." Kalistrine says, looking much better. "I say we go in the way we went before. No sense trying to bust in another way when we've cleared a path already."

I have one for front and one for back.. anyone else want to chime in?

Oh, I was suggesting front because I thought that's the way we exited. Vermundr's good with whatever Kalistrine wants.

"Agreed, although we should take care in case they've discovered our previous entry."

Got a majority

You head back in through the secret entrance behind the town and make your way back the way you came, climb the cliff wall into the crypt area and make your way to the first staircase you saw and climb up it.

You then enter a room with rotting, faded banners which hang from the walls of this long hall, depicting a stylized castle sitting on a seaside cliff. Thick stone pillars support the ceiling, while at the far end of the hall sits an old wooden throne, its back carved to resemble the towers of a castle wrapped in the coils of a serpentine dragon.

Sitting on the throne you see a wild eyed Tian man with a bristly goatee, deep red skin, and a prodigious nose. He idly toys with a strange
weapon—a combination sickle and weighted chain.

You also see four of the birded creatures you saw earlier in what looks to be a macabre play.

The old man notices you and says, "Grande, Grande, Grande, we have an audience, please be seated and enjoy the performance!"

Kalistrine freezes and looks to her comrades to see if any of them have anything to say.

Vermundr does the same, leaving introductions to the more talkative members of the party while his hands stay in his bow.

Ahiko says nothing, just looks at the TIan man with the chain kama for a good long moment, then at the bird men. Slowly she approaches whatever constitutes seating and sits down demurely, watching the man on the throne more than the play.

Kelda, Takeshi and Tribble sit down next to Ahiko to watch the performance

GM Rolls

You all sit in amazement at the play going on where the surprised corbies have seem to be surprised by the fact that they woke up without wings and it all seems a bit awkward.

One screams "You took my wings, you flying things!”

DC1 Acrobatics check DC 20 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27, success, left 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10, miss right 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 hit 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 The corby leaps into the air and attacks Tribble slashing him with one claw.

Initiative: Ahiko 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20, Vermundr 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19, Takeshi 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11, Kalistrine 1d20 ⇒ 8, Tribble 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23, Kelda 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 , Corbies 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6, Corby Leader 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17, Old Man 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Round 1

Tribble, Old Man, Ahiko, Vermundr, Kelda, Corby Leader, Takeshi, Kalistrine, Corbies

map

Wow. We have maps?!

Tribble uses his wand of bless and casts bless on the party, then 5' back behind his ally.

Most of the encounters really don't warrant one and well.

The old man dances and swings his chain above his head in a wild figure eight pattern.

Ahiko

Vermundr falls back a step towards the stairs and fires off a pair of shots at the corby squared off with Kelda.

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

"Don't hold back, these things are tough!"

Ahiko takes a step back and puts a warding hex on Takeshi

Takeshi gains +2 to ac and saves

Vermundr strikes the corby with two quick shots but it is still on its feet.

Kelda attacks the nearest her 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20, hit 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8, she cuts the beast deep, it is now staggered.

The corby on Takeshi full attacks left 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19, hit 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 right 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 hit 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5, rend 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 the two claws simultaneously hit Takeshi and scrape him.

Takeshi

how did the 13 hit takeshi? he has a warding hex on him, giving him ac 18 at present... only the first attack should have hit, negating the rend as well, since that usually requires both claw attacks hit.

He is flat-footed, 10 becomes 12...

Takeshi is unconscious.

Kalistrine

ah.. didn't realize he was flat-footed, darnit, thanks for clarifying

[ooc] I was in a hurry to run to work and forgot to make him unconscious.

Kalistrine growls in anger and hefts her axe to strike at the Corby next to her.

Battleaxe vs Corby, Power Attack 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage

Kalistrine misses with her battleaxe.

Round 2

Tribble

Tribble will 5' north 1 square and channel positive energy to heal, excluding injured enemies and keeping behind Kelda if possible:

2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

north is where Kelda is, Ill move you northwest and that Takeshi is revived but prone

Seeing Takeshi move on the ground the old man says, "Tsk, Tsk. Go corbies go!!!!

Ahiko

Vermundr fires twice more on the corby battling Kelda.

A.o.O from Takeshi, on the ground, Takeshi, Kalistrine, Corbies

Flinging her axe aside, Kalistrine howls with demonic fury, horns erupt from her brow with a sickening cracking sound as she tears into the nearest Corbie.

2 Claws and horns, Power Attack, Rage, Bless
1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 25

Round 3

Tribble

I'm guessing the staggered DC1 at 0 hp dropped after making his attack?

Tribble will cast a prepared Cure Light Wounds on Takeshi

Dire Corbies have the ferocity feat, which keeps them staggered until they have gotten below their constitution in the negative.

Tribble casts CLW on Takeshi.

Old man flies 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 up to the ceiling.

Vermundr

Vermundr howls in pain as the bomb bloodies him and sears his flesh.

How high is the ceiling?

30 feet

Vermundr growls and fires back at the old man.

"That hurt you bastard!"

Rapid Shot w/ Point Blank and Bless: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 + 2 = 27
