Against the Cult of the Reptile God - Group 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

Belrain leaps to Elgoron's defense, swinging his club recklessly.

Club vs. Zombie 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Doing what she could, Ama turned the last bit of energy she had into another bit of healing for Terion, trying to undo his wounds.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Strang gives up his futile attacks on the devil and goes after the zombie - just to make sure, after Belrain's club thwacks into it.

Attack (Shortsword): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Bizzlemont finds that he can't get a good shot on anyone from his position, so he waits until his friends can clear out the devils.

Elgoron keeps his guard up while trying to strike down the zombie.

attack, defensively: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (12) - 4 = 8

Scanning his surroundings, without any access to the evil caster behind the devils, and seeing the zombie completely surrounded, Terion decides to take down the hobgoblin while also keeping an eye on the new arrival.

Attack on hobgoblin with PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

AC 19 (18+1)
HP 6/13

Felgarr tries to reply to Belrain, but is stymied by the silence. He nods vigorously, and flails around again.
Trip: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 1 = 12

AoO, Damage: 1d20 + 3 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 1 + 4 = 101d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Maggie and Terion finish mopping up the last of the hobgoblin while Strang and Belrain finish up the zombie. Felgarr fails to fell a devil as Ama heals Terion.

As an act of desperation, the three devils rush past Felgarr and Bizzlemont. Provoking an AoO from both (if Bizzle holds a weapon)--feel free to roll the AoOs

The cleric awaits the success of the mini-devil stampede to decide his action.

AoO for Felgarr and maybe Bizzle--then bad guys up.

He does! He drew his dagger after the Silence affected us.

Dagger, Bless: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Not that it helped.

Oh, no you don't. You brigands stay right where you're at!

Frustrated at the silence, Felgarr will communicate his objection to the devil's rush with a resounding blow of his flail.

Flail AoO, Damage: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 1 = 181d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

devil acrobatics untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 12

The devil attempts to rush past the paladin, and takes a vicious flail strike leaving him barely conscious. The devil seems diabolically resistant to normal weapons. He responds with a single attack. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

He moves out of the way, and another devil steps in and rakes at the paladin-- striking with a single attack successfully. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The evil cleric removes a scroll and reads it. A dimensional portal begins to form and more devilish laughter is heard.

Party up. Felgar takes 6 pts of negative energy damage from a single devil claw.

Init 3
AC 19 (21 vs devil he smites)
HP 0/13
Disabled, combat expertise, smite evil

"TORAG!"

Felgarr cries silently as the devil claws him. He slips and almost falls, but remains standing through sheer strength of will.

He raises his flail for one last mighty blow and swings downward, calling on the power of his god.

Flail+Smite Evil, Damage: 1d20 + 3 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 1 + 2 = 171d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10 (Smite bypasses devil's DR)

As his flail strikes, his own knees begin to buckle.

Felgarr acts last in the initiative order. Unless he is healed, his condition at the end of his turn will be:
AC 12 (+5 armor, -5 dex, +2 shield)
HP -1/13
Prone, unconscious, dying.

I knew we should have had an opportunity to buy better weapons...

"No!" - Terion roars as he moves over the fallen dwarf, even though his voice cannot be heard, he protects him from any further attacks. Moving over to N10

Attacking whichever devil is standing and looks the most damaged: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 - 1 = 18
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

we might actually live through this. again.

We HAVE to. we can't let flaeg and Ping die in vain!

Elgoron lashes out at the zombie with full force. attack: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Magnhildr wastes no time finding a new target. She spots the devil that falls, as we well as the zombie, but neither of these draws her ire like the robed man in the hall. She rushes up to him, a wicked grin on her face.

"Do you yield or die goblin-lover?"

Taking my lumps to get at the cleric. Two AoO's cause I think the others already killed that devil inbetween them and the sleepy goblin.

Strang drags Felgarr out from under Terion so that the clerics can more easily heal him.

Felgar smites a small devil, leaving one smoking small horn as a reminder of his brief existence.

You can switch to glaive while moving? Moving to the downed devil's spot incurs no AoOs

I somehow lost this thread. Weird.

Bizzlemont grabs the dwarf as he falls, but it takes Strang's help for the little gnome not to be overwhelmed by the sudden weight. As they lay him down, Bizzle presses his hand up to Felgarr's wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 17

And the blood stops!

I'm keeping the greatsword out. I know that I'm going to take some lumps, but rage+a ton of HP for a 2nd level character means that even after that first hit, she's still tanking like a champ. Bring it, I ain't scared.

Belrain touches Terion on the shoulder, granting him a surge in strength.

Use Strength Surge 2/6. Terion gets a +1 to Atk, CMB on Str-based checks, Str-based skills and checks for 1 round

No one is level 2 yet.

[ooc]Except Maggie, who is entering early.[/ ooc[
AoOs: 2d20 ⇒ (14, 7) = 21
One devil hits for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Maggie is standing next to evil cleric.

Since the cleric causing all of this (it seemed) was unharmed, Ama channeled once more, worried about Felgarr and Terion.
Channel: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The cleric defiantly responds to the attacking barbarian: "You will be first to die!!"

After the claw of a devil, Maggie can attack if she has a std left

Sadly, this chainmail is not mithral. :/ No Standard from me, I had to double move. Mags' response will be some time tonight.

Kill it = Level up = Joy :D

The evil cleric smiles as a demon appears through a dimensional portal. He seems quite slovenly in appearance and looks at the small devils with disdain. He waves his hands and a cloud of noxious gas appears in the room affecting all but Elgoron who is in the corner. Fort save DC13 vs the cloud or become nauseated for 1d4+1 rounds. The demon then moves next to Maggie as the small devils and the evil cleric encircle her.

small devil claws: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

The flurry of claws completely misses the barbarian.

Upset, the evil cleric steps back and casts. He attempts to hold the barbarian helpless with a spell. Maggie feels a paralyzing magic try to hold her in place.

Hold person Will DC 15

Party is up. Fort save or be nauseated all but Maggie and Elgoron. Will save for Maggie. Odds are improving :-)

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

S+!+.

Magnhildr's face locks in a grimace as her body seems to freeze. The cleris doesn't see fear, though there's little doubt what his fate is if she breaks free.

Speaking of which, do I roll another for my action, or do I have to wait a round?

Elgoron instinctively covers his face for moment. I'm just outside it? Hah. That caster has poor targeting skills.

Yeah, but if you move into it, it won't matter. And we can't do anything to him from here.

I can't do much either way, so if it's all the same to you--not that it matters--I'm staying put until this either dissipates or the situation changes. Whoever that woman is, she isn't on their side, and I'm content to stay out of the path of her weapon.

...Fair enough.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Bizzlemont's stomach roils, but it passes in a moment.

That was awful! It's like when Mom tried to make that tofu and tuna casserole! Bleh!

That sounds horrid. What is a tofu? Does it live when you're from?

Don't worry about it. Just hope you never have to try it.

Deal.

Bizzle points at the next little devil and shoots a shimmering ray at it.

Blinding Ray, touch attack, bless, into melee, cover: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 - 4 - 4 = -1

I see one small devil in M9 and another in M10, wasn't at least one of these destroyed?

There were three. We killed one, then he summoned a bigger one. So there are still three, but one is bigger.

I was under the impression that Felgarr had used his smite to take down one of those two...

And he used a scroll. Must be low on spells.

Looking back I'm not sure your attack was registered. Either that or it took both you and Felgarr to kill the devil.

I knew we should have had an opportunity to buy better weapons...

"No!" - Terion roars as he moves over the fallen dwarf, even though his voice cannot be heard, he protects him from any further attacks. Moving over to N10

[dice=Attacking whichever devil is standing and looks the most damaged]1d20+5-4-1
[dice=Damage if it hits]1d8+6

** spoiler omitted **

Terion put a hit on one of the devils, but it seems to be resistant to his weapon. I did miss that, sorry.

Fortitude 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Belrain resists the urge to vomit, breathing through his mouth. He touches Terion again, granting him a surge of strength again.

+1 Atk, CMB on Str-based checks, Str-based skills and checks for 1 round

Terion seems to be shouting something but his voice cannot be heard.

Scrambling for some sort of alternative, he draws the cold iron dagger at his belt and launches an attack at the enemy in front of him to check its effectiveness(M10)

Attack Cold Iron Dagger: 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 11Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Modifiers in order as above: BAB+STR+MW+Surge of Strength - don't think there is a flanking bonus here right?

Felgarr will be getting back up after Ama's last channel?

Felgar is prone and conscious.

devils have DR5 against normal weapons.

Well, I only have normal weapons. And Terion doesn't know that :/

She knew about how much range the burst of positive energy effect she could generate reached, so Ama took a couple careful steps back and to one side, channeling the energy once more. It was so hard to stay calm when her companions were fighting for their lives, likely. Still, she had to do what she could to help them.

Channel(3/6): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Doesn't look like I have any viable options right now, so I guess I'll just have to pass on this round.

AC 16
HP 6/13

Felgarr draws to his feet, rejuvenated by Ama's healing.

He nods deferentially to her as she heals a second time, and draws out his
Guisarme, forsaking his shield. He stabs the hooked blade foward, under Terion's shield arm, trying to catch the devil and yank it off balance.

Guisarme to Trip, Soft Cover: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17 (vs. CMD)

After conscious: stand, drop shield. After 2nd healing: draw polearm & attack

need to get into position to do something here. We can't just sit around waiting for the worst.

Agreed.

Elgoron moves to N-9, preferably taking a path through Belrain and Felgarr's squares to avoid provoking from the devil in M-10, and then will attempt to strike with his staff.

attack: 1d20 ⇒ 12

If the devil is still alive and tries to stand:

Guisarme AoO (2H, vs prone, soft cover); Damage: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 - 4 = 112d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

In the habit of moving things along on Monday.

Maggie tries to resist the evil magic but fails.

Her body locks up and an ethereal serpent seems to writhe around the barbarian, holding her in place.

The prone devil rises, and avoids a shot from Felgar but Terion 13 rolled hits for 1d4 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 5 = 3

The badly battered devil is clinging to the mortal plane as ichor streams from his wounds. The two devils and demon attempt to strike at the brave barbarian. devil clawsx3: 3d20 ⇒ (6, 13, 13) = 32

The demon joins in as the cleric attacks with his mace and makes his escape, laughing at the mauling about to occur.

mace/demon claws/bite: 4d20 ⇒ (19, 14, 15, 9) = 57

Maggie is clawed for 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 1) + 4 = 11 hp piercing and bashed for another 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 hp bludgeoning

The demonic and devilish creatures seem to fear the dwarven paladin and do not like being left behind as cannon fodder.

Party up, full attacks even from little guys can hurt. Goblin is awake but blinded.

Lemme know when I can try again. I would really like to not be done in two rounds after I go here.

Seeing no other option, Belrain continues to grant strength to Terion.

Surge of Strength to Terion

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Well, I'll be rolling up another character. :/

If someone can kill the little devil and step into the square, then Felgarr can move through to the demon and engage it.

Bizzlemont tries to blind the little devil again.

Ranged Touch, cover, melee: 1d20 + 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 4 - 4 = 2
