#4-21: Way of the Kirin [Tier 3-4] (Gameday 3) - GM Rutseg (Inactive)

Game Master Balacertar

Aikio's ray is easily dodged by the warrior who grins self-sufficient.

Luminos throws his 5th bomb of the day.
Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
For: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
For: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Concentration DC 31: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Blue: 11
Red: 18
Round 2:
Troops, Jules, Aikio, Peck, Luminos, Akiichi
Take care of the rubble, is difficult terrain.
Remember the red one is flying 5' over the floor.
You can't go through Akiichi square as if he was an ally.

Jules moves up to attack.
"Here let me help you hold this area."

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15If needed

Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Peck starts pounding on his shield in a very distracting way, causing the minds of others to focus more on his music then the commands of others.
Countersong: If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use the bard's Perform skill check result for the save
performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Jules For: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Jules gets bravely into the nauseating bomb but she cannot resist the nauseating gasses and starts vomiting losing her actions.
Rounds: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Peck starts performing trying to get Akiichi attention back, and he succeeds!

The troops seem totally scared of the gases and fire from Luminos bomb, they go over him ignoring the vomiting Jules!

Losing the concentration from the previous attack the red armored flies over the demon AoO if you have a natural attack, once at his back he descends reading an action. The blue one steps over the rubble leaving Jules in the stinking fog and tries to trip the red one.
mwk greatclub+flanking: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21
Bludgeoning damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
mwk greatclub+flanking trip: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15
Luminos goes to the floor!

Blue: 11 damage
Red: 18 damage
Jules: nauseated (5)
Luminos: 12 damage, prone
Round 3:
Troops, Jules (only move), Aikio, Peck, Luminos, Akiichi
Take care of the rubble, is difficult terrain.

Walked right into the cloud. My I may a smart move.
Jules quickly realizes she moved right into the cloud and moves out again.

What are the natural light conditions of this cave? If I used the Darkness tiefling racial ability, would the area become dark? And what are the races of the enemies?

Jules gets out of the stinking fog as it disappears. It will dismiss just before Luminos turn

Luminos looks around trying to find a solution, he sees the two humans trying to beat him at both sides. He also notices the tunnel is totally dark other than the lights carried by the party.

Luminos activates his tiefling ability to generate unnatural darkness emanating from his handy haversack. Feeling relatively safe in his darkness, Luminos stands and shuffles a few feet away from his position trying to elude his enemies.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Sorry, I'm not good with the templates, can someone create a 20' burst of darkness template off of Luminos?

As Luminos casts his spell-like ability, the troops profit his lowering in the defenses to try beat him.
AoO mwk greatclub+flanking+prone: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 4 = 25
Bludgeoning damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
AoO mwk greatclub+flanking+prone: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 4 = 23
Bludgeoning damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Blue: 11 damage
Red: 18 damage
Jules: nauseated (5)
Luminos: -14/20 damage, unconscious
Round 3:
Troops, Jules, Aikio, Peck, Luminos, Akiichi
Take care of the rubble, is difficult terrain.

"Hold friends they really want to help us!"
The samurai tries to sooth the battlelust.

Akiichi, Peck successfully get you out of the charm, you can proceed with your actions normally :)

In that case
Drawing his sword Akiichi attacks the evil chap with the red plume
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Peck will switch his drumming to inspire courage in his companions and pull out his wand

Jules continues to make strange noises.

Akiichi, don't forget to add the +1 to attach and damage

Aikio tries to reduce the enemies around her fellow pathfinder. She points at the man in blue, and her feathers turn white.
ice ray: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 (v tch) sizzle: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Then its a 19 for 16 damage.

Concentration Check DC 19: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Helped by the gnome's inspiration, Akiichi darts into battle slashing abruptly at the red armored warrior.

Aikio gets nervous and her ray hits the ceil of the tunnel.

Luminos casts defensively and a globe of darkness envelopes the area.
From now on, all attacks made towards the enemies in the globe have a 50% failure chance if you don't have darkvision (Akiichi, Akio and Jules), and requires a Perception roll DC 20 to pin-point your target
Akiichi sees the darkness coming, then he suddenly sees nothing around. Just hears the sound of combat in front of him, and his friends at his back.

The blue armored warrior seems not affected by the darkness, because it hits again Luminos with a brutal smash of his greatclub.
mwk greatclub+flanking+prone: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 4 = 23
Bludgeoning damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
As the demon fell unconscious, the warrior moves towards the blinded samurai afterwards.

Turning in rage against the samurai that just slashed him out the red armored warrior takes good profit of the human blindness.
mwk greatclub: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Bludgeoning damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
The slash is terrible and makes the samurai to step back for a second.

Peck, can you please note in your sheet you have replaced Keen senses and light-vision with the Darkvision gnome racial trait? I also cannot find your Perception break-out (I guess you have 3 ranks on it).
Luminos: -8/20 hp, unconscious
Jules: nauseated (4)
Akiichi: 30/40 hp, engulfed in darkness
Akio: engulfed in darkness
Jules: engulfed in darkness
Round 4:
Troops, Jules, Aikio, Peck, Luminos (only to stabilize), Akiichi
Take care of the rubble, is difficult terrain.
And observe carefully the darkness aka blindness/invisibility rules.

Stabalize: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 2 = 8

Luminos slips closer to death.

Jules moves back a little further and continues to make uncomfortable noises.

They are on top of one another, right there!!!
Peck also casts light centered on himself

Peck starts emitting light, but the darkness wins his bright and persists as a black wall in front of the eyes of the others but the gnome.

Luminos: -9/20 hp, unconscious
Jules: nauseated (4)
Akiichi: 30/40 hp, engulfed in darkness
Aikio: engulfed in darkness
Jules: engulfed in darkness
Round 4:
Troops, Jules, Aikio, Peck, Luminos (only to stabilize), Akiichi
Waiting for Aikio and Akiichi actions.
Remember Perception DC 20 to pin-point (or shoot at random), and 50% miss chance.

"Say when gnome!" Aikio readies a blast of fire in the squares ahead of her. She will blast it on Peck's order that he is out of the way and at least one of the enemies has stepped against the south wall.

readied action

Aikio@ Take into account that event might never happen without taking Akiichi in the jet.
Given the situation for the party is that precarious, I will give Akiichi a little bit extra time to decide his movement.

Looking at the dark area Akiichi shrugs and waits till someone comes out so that he can press the attack.
Delay till an enemy comes into sight.

Akiichi, you know the foes are in front of you, Peck told you one is flying above the other. Plus you all are engulfed in darkness so it is very unlikely you will be able to see them again during the combat, unless you do something that helps that to happen.

ahhh... Going for the one overhead. If I need to move (1 south?) Please do so

Aikio cackles as the flames briefly light her.
fire jet: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 +catch fire (DC 15 for ½ not catch fire)

It feel foolhardy but Akiichi slashes straight ahead a high strike hoping to hit more by chance than by skillattack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d100 ⇒ 55 Inclusive misschance

Blue (floor): 6 damage
Red (flying): 21 damage, on fire
Luminos: -3/20 hp, unconscious
Jules: nauseated (3)
Akiichi: 30/40 hp, engulfed in darkness
Aikio: engulfed in darkness
Jules: engulfed in darkness
Round 5:
Troops, Jules (only movement), Aikio, Peck, Luminos (only to stabilize), Akiichi
Remember Perception DC 20 to pin-point (or shoot at random), and 50% miss chance.
It is probably a good idea if you start giving your best tricks to survive this one. I see it very... 'dark'.

Peck will start up his bardic music again

Peck, I believe you started here to inspire and haven't stopped since.
Which actually means Akio dealt +1 extra damage with his attack!

I would help if I could but I am busy getting sick

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 3 = 3

A pool of red blood continues to spread in the darkness as Luminos's breathing becomes more shallow.

"Peck?! Can you get to the tiefling with the wand?" Aikio moves to the other side of the darkness. 9 squares to Aikio's current position. I assume I need some of that for dificult terrain, & some for stumbling in the darkness so a double move. I don't know if acrobatics will help, I'm kind of depending on darkness to protect from AoO.
acro: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

1d6 ⇒ 3 burning guy takes dmg. unless he put it out while I wasn't looking. :)

Then I would use chord of shards
(The shards deal 2d6 points of piercing damage to all creatures caught in the area of effect, 15ft cone: R negates DC=15)
I would be in a position to get both without provoking AoO, and without hitting the Tiefling
2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
"I'm trying

From blinded: Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone.

Aikio stumbles with the walls rocks as she can't see anything and falls prone to the floor.

This is for the best though, as you would have received 6 AoO on going through those squares and most surely would be unconscious now!

Peck starts to sing a shrieking song, the notes hitting the surprised enemies and causing wounds on their ears!
Blue Ref DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Red Ref DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Attack HIGH: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d100 ⇒ 97 Trying to hit the one high in the air Akiichi tries his very best to hit them

Jules remains in her positions creating quite a pool of gunk.

Akiichi, knowing someone attacked him from the highs, gives back an attack. It lands true and the hit causes a big lash in the creature that falls prone and unconscious to the floor.
I assumed you haven't counted the Inspire Courage bonus, both to attack and damage.

The fallen of the colleague responds with a new attack that causes a big injury in the samurai's right arm.
mwk greatclub+invisible (no Dex): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28

Unfort I did. Hit is with PA +7 and damage +10

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 4 = 6

Luminos sleeps further nto a deep sleep, dreaming of fire and explosions.

"The other one is regenerating!!!"

Aikio stands and backs up until she can see. "Akiichi, draw them out of the light so I may give you some aid. We are not going to last long in this darkness." She draws a wand as she moves back.

burning guy: 1d6 ⇒ 4 should I be rolling this or do you want to?

Jules finds a new location to leave a puddle.

You can 5 feet step Peck. Aikio, this last burn just kills him

Taking a five foot step back, akiiche waits for the enemy to come to the light.

Unless that gets you all the way out of the darkness, you should probably swing first then step back. We may not get many shots during a retrea.

I interpret Akiichi action as a retreat in order to be able to get out of the light without AoO
Akiichi and Akio retreat out of the darkness, seeing again around. Unfortunately the darkness globe in front still conceals the enemy, Peck and Luminos.

Blue (floor): 0 damage
Red (flying): 56 damage, unconscious
Luminos: -5/20 hp, unconscious
Jules: nauseated (1)
Akiichi: 16/40 hp
