Esmeralda Salazar |
Esmeralda comes out of her practical blur with a nod, gathering her surroundings yet again. She'd been in deep thought since they'd left the spider encounter with what to do with Penance, but she wasn't about to point that out.
"I'm of the distinct impression that the majority of these things are always trouble. But if you want, I could request Penance investigate before one of us did? Unlike the rest of us, he's expendable by virtue of reconstitution tomorrow, though I'm sure it'll cost me dearly... again." she says with a smirk.
She crosses her arms as the Eidolon walks forward, hefting his greatsword.
Aardvark DM |
Don't forget guys, you can move yourselves on the map (and I prefer you do), so that way I know exactly who moves where.
Kascio creeps closer, and Penance moves toward the front as 'commanded'. As the two near, they can see more of the room, and it is even larger still. It seems there are more than the two originally sighted large mounds of dirt. There are signs of more to the south.
Aardvark DM |
As Kascio moves in, and Tanjvats to the edge, the size and shape of the room becomes much clearer. This wide catacomb chamber has rows of burial niches cut into the stone walls. these have all been stripped bare of any former occupants. In all, there are now clearly half a dozen of the ten-foot-high mounds of dirt and debris dominating the floor of the chamber, reaching nearly to the ceiling fifteen feet above. As Kascio moves gingerly further into the room, there comes an odd chittering sound from the mound directly north of him, and accompanying the noise is the mandibled haed of a giant ant. The thing is roughly the size of a pony.
Esmeralda 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Faedrin 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Kascio 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Penance 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Tanjvats 1d20 ⇒ 17
-----------
Ant 1d20 ⇒ 15
Round 1:
Esmeralda -
Dareon -
Tanjvats -
Ant -
Penance -
Faedrin -
Kascio -
Dareon Niroden |
At the appearance of an enemy, Dareon moves up at a hustle, stepping in front of Kascio and raising his shield. "Stay behind me if you can, Kascio." He then turns to the others and says, "Someone bring a light over here, would you? It's a little dark."
Double-move.
Aardvark DM |
No, the dot in the center of the mound is the hole, so the gi-ANT [groan ;)] is on your side of the mound.
Yes, the light is your spell (as you said you had put it 10' ahead of the lead member).
Esmeralda moves up to beside Dareon, and casts her minor assistive spell, fully expecting the man to rush toward the fight.
That is exactly what he does. Dareon moving into place to be the insect's primary target.
Round 1:
Tanjvats -
Ant -
Penance -
Faedrin -
Kascio -
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Dareon
Dareon - Double-move to J15
Tanjvats |
Tanjvats stepped slightly to the side to get a better line on the ant and let loose with his crossbow.
5-ft-step north, fire into melee, reload
attack: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 4 = 14
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1
As soon as the bolt sailed away, he began reloading his crossbow.
Esmeralda Salazar |
"I do adore it when a plan comes together. It's almost like we're working together. Almost." she says with a wry smile as combat begins. "All jokes aside, we're basically big pest control aren't we? Bats, Ants, Spiders. If I known this'd happen I'd have equipped penance with a mallet."
Aardvark DM |
Tanjvats' bolt easily hit the oversized insect, but merely glanced off the hardened carapace that makes up the things exterior.
The ant crawls forward down the mound and snaps its overlarge mandibles at Dareon. It manages to slip past most of his defenses, but doesn't manage to penetrate his solid armor. As the ant faces down Dareon, a second one emerges from the mound closer to the center of the room.
Ant attack Dareon, 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
1d4 ⇒ 3
Round 1:
Penance -
Faedrin -
Kascio -
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Dareon
Dareon - Double-move to J15
Tanjvats - 5' step, missed Ant 1
Ant 1/I16 - Missed Dareon
Ant 2/M21 - Emerged
Faedrin Lantherion |
Summoning a bit of his unique brand of arcane power to himself, Faedrin dashes forward with surprising speed, slipping past Tanjvats, and sinks his rapier through a gap in the nearest ant's chitinous shell.
Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Penance Eidolon |
With little requirement with which to do so, Penance wades into combat, passing Tanjvats and practically drops his large sword down upon the ant.
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage Roll: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 2) + 6 = 15
Unfortunately, the weight isn't enough this time, and his laziness due to lack of wealth with which to motivate him ruins his accuracy.
Aardvark DM |
Penance drives his overlarge blade into the large dirt mound, missing the ant completely. Part of the surface of the mound crunches and crumbles with the strike.
Fade sends his ball of light forward, and then with uncommon speed and precision, he zips up beside the ant and spears it right in the middle segment of its large bulbous body. There is and odd squeel that escapes the creature, but even with the thing's ichor oozing from the puncture, it isn't enough to put it down.
Kascio deftly flings a dagger at the second one that emerged, but the blade just lands at the base of the mound in front of the thing.
Don't forget Kascio, daggers only have a range increment of 10'. The second ant is about 35' away for a total -6 penalty (-2/increment over base)
Round 2:
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Dareon
Dareon - Double-move to J15
Tanjvats - 5' step, missed Ant 1
Ant 1/I16 - 11 damage, Missed Dareon
Ant 2/M21 - Emerged
Penance - Moved to I15, missed ant 1
Faedrin - Moved to H15, hit ant 1
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Aardvark DM |
Esmeralda moved up into the group, and once again provided guidance to one of the members. This time, she gave it to Penance, especially after his atrocious swing.
Round 2:
Dareon - Double-move to J15
Tanjvats - 5' step, missed Ant 1
Ant 1/I16 - 11 damage, Missed Dareon
Ant 2/M21 - Emerged
Penance - Moved to I15, missed ant 1
Faedrin - Moved to H15, hit ant 1
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Penance
Dareon Niroden |
Dareon maneuvers around the ant to the other side of Penance, trying to ensure that the creature is distracted enough such that it doesn't defend itself as effectively against attacks. Then he tries to stab it somewhere vulnerable with his shortsword.
Shortsword Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11
Damage, sneak attack: 1d6 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (5) = 10
Tanjvats |
Tanjvats jumped as the golden, armored bulk of Penance pushed past him towards the ant. He stared for a moment at the creatures back, entranced by its strange, implacable movement.
I wonder....
Reluctantly, he moved forward and brushed his fingers on the eidolon's back.
use Vision of Madness on Penance. He's +1 to attacks, but -1 to both skills and saves for 3 rounds. Domain power description says it affects "creatures".
Aardvark DM |
As Dareon moves past the ant, he uses his common tactic of trying to take their attention away from others. He is successful, as the ant snaps its large mandibles at dareon's shoulder above his shield, giving him a few serious puntures in the flesh. The pain causes Dareon's swing to bounce harmlessly of the creature's shell.
AoO on Dareon 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24, crit confirm 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22, no crit. Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Tanjvats moves up and once again shares his madness with another member of the group. This time he tests whether it will affect the outsider.
The first ant continues to focus its attentions on Dareon, snapping at him again. He is unable to get even close to Dareon through his defenses. The second ant to emrge, crawls straightaway toward the nearest enemy, which happens to also be Dareon. It too snaps at the man, but comes nowhere even close.
From the northeastern hill, another ant emerges. This one looks a little bigger, and has what appears to be a stinger at the end of its abdomen.
Ant 1, attacks Dareon 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Ant 2, attacks Dareon 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d3 ⇒ 1
Kascio, given the location of ant 2, I don't know if you wanted to change your action. Either way, the roll will remain the same.
Round 2:
Penance - Moved to I15, missed ant 1
Faedrin - Moved to H15, hit ant 1
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Penance
Dareon - 8 damage move to I17, miss ant 1
Tanjvats - 5' step, Vision of Madness on Penance
Ant 1/I16 - 11 damage, Missed Dareon
Ant 2/M21 - Moved to J18, missed Dareon
Ant 3/H21 - Emerged
Faedrin Lantherion |
Faedrin tries to capitalize on the ant's split focus, but his rapier finds only hard, resilient carapace. The elf shakes his head ruefully and flexes the stinging pain from the deflected blow out of his hand. "Penance, squish this bug any time now please!"
Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aardvark DM |
The eidolon once again brings the overlarge weapon around to strike down at the large ant he's been instructed to kill. It's disturbing when, with all the help he has from various sources, the large weapon slides off the ant's shell at just the right angle.
Penance, Attack Ant 1 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14
Faedrin uses his own position and advantage to try and get another sharp stab in the creature, but his small point is deflected.
Round 2:
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Penance
Dareon - 8 damage move to I17, miss ant 1
Tanjvats - 5' step, Vision of Madness on Penance

Ant 2/M21 - Moved to J18, missed Dareon
Ant 3/H21 - Emerged
Penance - Missed ant 1
Faedrin - Missed ant 1
Aardvark DM |
Much like the others, Kascio cannot seem to be able to slip a blade into the body of the insect.

Round 3:
Esmeralda - Move, cast Guidance on Penance
Dareon - 8 damage move to I17, miss ant 1
Tanjvats - 5' step, Vision of Madness on Penance

Ant 2/M21 - Moved to J18, missed Dareon
Ant 3/H21 - Emerged
Penance - Missed ant 1
Faedrin - Missed ant 1
Kascio - Missed ant 1
Wow, this is a rough fight, and only because you guys can't seem to get dicebot to let you have over a 6.
Aardvark DM |
Okay, well assume Esmeralda casts Guidance on Penance again, and move forward. You're up Dareon.
Aardvark DM |
Sadly, all my dice are Player Killers. High rolls when I GM, low when I'm a player.
Dareon Niroden |
Dareon, still flanking with Penance, swings his short sword again at the ant-creature, attempting to spear it right through.
"We need to kill this one before we surround the next. Take them one at a time with all of us, they'll go down much easier."
Shortsword Attack vs. Ant, flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16
Damage, SA: 1d6 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (3) = 12
Aardvark DM |
Dareon drove his small blade home into the joint connecting the ant's head to its middle segment. There is a squeal, and the thing stops moving.
Tanj, I took a little liberty considering your initial target was dead.
Tanjvats, decides to follow Dareon's suggestion and prepare to gang up on the next ant. He releases the hold on his crossbow, draws his mace as he dashes over, and bashes the second ant in the head.
1d2 ⇒ 1
As another large ant crawls from one of the mounds, the one struck by Tanjvats retaliates, snapping its mandibles into the leg of the hapless half-orc.
The larger ant from the northeastern mound rushes down and straight at Dareon. Its mandibles are wide and large as it comes right at him. The size and weight of the thing just are not enough to allow it to get its jaws around the man, who easily deflects the blow with his shield.
Ant 1, 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 5 = 7
Ant 2, attacks Tanj 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20, damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ant 3, charge Dareon 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
------------------------
Round 3:
Penance - Missed ant 1
Faedrin - Missed ant 1
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Esmeralda - Cast Guidance on Penance
Dareon - 8 damage Killed ant 1
Tanjvats - 5 damage, Move to K17, hit ant 2
Ant 1/I16 - 24 damage, Dying
Ant 2/M21 - 5 damage, hit Tanjvats
Ant 3/I18 - Charged Dareon, missed
Ant 4/M16 - Emerged
Faedrin Lantherion |
Faedrin skirts around the northern mound, slipping in behind the larger ant harrying Dareon. Spinning around, he pivots suddenly, thrusting his rapier forward and through a gap in the creature's hardened carapace. He grunts as he pulls the blade free, grimmacing at the ichor coating his weapon. "This better be the last of them! Regular sized bugs are nuisance enough!"
Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24for an additional: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
I can't update the map from my phone, alas.
Move to G16 > G17 > G18 > G19 > H20 > I19. That should avoid any AoO's, but if one is triggered any how, my AC is 21 thanks to spelldance.
Stab at the ant once I'm in flanking position with Dareon.

Aardvark DM |
With a single simple-mindedness, Penance trods forward toward the next ant in line. It just so happens to be the one Dareon wanted to focus on. The being takes a large heavy-handed swing at this new larger ant. There is just no eagerness for the kill evident in the eidolon, it seems almost irritated at Esmeralda.
Penance attack Ant 3 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Fade dances around the big man and the big ant as well, ending in a beneficial position for stabbing the thing hard in the thorax. His blade sinks in deep, and he draws the obvious attention of the thing.
Kascio, possibly suffering from a sense of sadness from his own inability to seem to break through the tough shell of the creatures, once again finds himself unsuccessful.
Esmeralda, seeing this, moves up to the man and decides to use her spell on him instead. She will just have to have it out with Penance and his performance some other time.
------------------------------------
Round 4:
Dareon - 8 damage Killed ant 1
Tanjvats - 5 damage, Move to K17, hit ant 2
Ant 1/I16 - 24 damage, Dying

Penance - Missed ant 3
Faedrin - Moved to I19, hit ant 3
Kascio - Missed ant 2
Esmeralda - Moved to J16, cast Guidance on Kascio
Dareon Niroden |
Dareon wheels around to face the ant behind him now, swinging his sword with the pivot to try and crush in its head. He's counting on its distraction by Faedrin to ensure his success.
"Tanj, circle around the ant that you and Kascio are fighting. It'll make combat easier."
Shortsword, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (3) = 7
Tanjvats |
Tanjvats grunted a tentative confirmation to Dareon, but then tried to focus on how to comply.
Am I surrounding them, or myself?
He took a swing and then shifted over, making more room for Kascio, if he needed it.
Swing with my mace at J18 ant, flanking with Fade. 5-ft east to K18.
mace and flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
omfg, we suck.
Kascio |
Kascio steps five feet to the south to flank the ant with Fade. He once again slashes, hoping he can land an attack at some point. Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4) = 7 damage!
Edit: Holy crap! A two digit number! Confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage!
Aardvark DM |
Both Dareon try to strike back at the ants while using tactics over force to try and even the score. Unfortunately, tactics did not make up for poorly timed and placed swings and neither of them hit their mark.
The ants return the attentions. The ant snapping at Tanjvats continues it assault. It manages to nip the priest once more but not quite as hard as it did last time.
The big one turn ferociously on Fade after he stabbed it so brutally. It gnashes its big mandibles at him but just barely catches the edge of his armor and doesn't make real contact with flesh. It also raises itself high on its legs to awkwardly thrust forward with the stinger on its thorax. That too is met with the resistance of the elf's armor.
The most recent addition to the group crawls down off the hill and rushes straight for the one standing closest to its dying clutchmate. It's just not enough to hit the barely eluding woman. Almost as if called up by Fade's statement, one more of the things crawls from another of the large mounds.
Ant 1 1d20 + 3 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 6 = 15
Ant 2 attacks Tanj 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19, damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Ant 3 attacks Fade, bite 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15, sting 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Ant 4 charges Esmeralda 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Penance knows better than to leave his connection to this plane undefended. He brashly disregards the larger ant between Dareon and Faedrin to rush over and assist the Esmeralda. The big ant swipes at him, but its focus is still more on Fade. When he reaches the newer ant, he whacks it with the heavy sword that he carries, causing a noticeable on the thing.
Ant 3, AoO on Penance 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Penance, attack Ant 4 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16, damage 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11

Ant 5/P22 - Emerged
Penance - Moved to ant 3
Kascio, I already have your action for this round, so please do not repost.
Faedrin Lantherion |
Faedrin manages to slip his narrow blade through the larger ant's chitinous armor once more, though the strike doesn't bite nearly as deeply as the previous one. He glances nervously to the side as yet another ant begins to make its way toward the now crowded melee. "Watch out behind you, Tanj! Here comes another one!"
Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Aardvark DM |
Fade and Kascio both find their centers, and take the moment of focus to deliver stabbing wounds to their respective targets. All the same, it is not enough to make a significant difference, as the creatures still stand and fight.
Esmeralda herself, being threatened as she is, steps back behind Penance and levels her spear at the ant that rushed her, much like she did as it charged. Between the wound she caused as it rushed, and her and Penance's attacks, the beast falls under the barrage.
She should have had an AoO when it charged, as she has a longspear
AoO 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18, damage 1d8 ⇒ 7
Attack 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 1 - 4 = 16, damage 1d8 ⇒ 6
------------------------

Penance - Moved to J15, hit ant 4
Faedrin - Hit ant 3
Kascio - Hit ant 2
Esmeralda - 5' to I15, hit ant 4
Dareon Niroden |
Seeing another ant fall, Dareon redoubles his assault against the ant in between him and Faedrin, swinging his longsword hard at it in an attempt to finally kill it.
Shortsword, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (4) = 12
Aardvark DM |
Things finally begin to go in favor of the beleaguered group, where misses before have finally turned into hearty strikes, making considerable headway. Dareon's strike puts his blade hard into the base of the thorax where the stinger emerges. It is too much for the creature, which crumples to the ground.
-----------------
Round 5:
Tanjvats - 9 damage, Missed ant 2
Ant 1/I16 - 24 damage, Stabilized
Ant 2/M21 - 14 damage, Missed Tanjvats

Esmeralda - 5' to I15, dropped ant 4
Dareon - 8 damage dropped ant 3
Tanjvats |
Tanjvats did his best to negotiate the swirling melee of swords, legs, and mandibles. He stepped to gain an opening on the ant remaining between his companions.
5'ft step to k-19 to flank with Dareon
mace with flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16
dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
His blow glanced off the exoskeleton, and he was unsure if it even effected the ant. He tried not to think about the one still behind him.
Aardvark DM |
In the swirling melee of successful strikes, Tanjvats does his part to aid in putting the creatures out of commission. He hits, but it is a haphazard swipe that does little beyond a crack in the creatures shell, and even less to remove the creature's newly established attention on Kascio.
The ant bites the knife wielder, but cannot get through the tough leathers he wears.
As the other two ants ooze ichor from their various wounds, that most recently emerged ant races forward to join the fray. Once again Tanjvats is the target in closest proximity. Even distracted as he was fighting the other ant, the new ant's mandibles came nowhere near closing on Tanj.
Ant 2, attacks Kascio 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Ant 3, 1d20 + 3 - 11 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 11 = 6
Ant 4, 1d20 + 3 - 6 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 6 = -2
Ant 5, charge Tanjvats 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Faedrin Lantherion |
Penance
With Esmeralda out of immediate danger, Penance lumbers around the outer edge of the melee to close with the newest ant harrying Tanjvats.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 8) + 6 = 19
----
Maintaining his position, Faedrin does his best to capitalize on the ant flanked between himself and Kascio, his rapier flashing forward in the light of his cantrip.
