And Then a Skeleton Popped Out: subSPUF Carrion Crown

Game Master Rynjin

It's a cannon.

Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Assuming that Zeke reroutes his attack to smash the gate.

Z looks up at all the trolls on the gatehouse, smiles, and points at the leader "Kaboom!"

Fireball: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5, 6) = 43

Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Burning for 3 damage for 1 round. DC 20 Reflex for half.

After her fireball goes off, she runs into the gatehouse to take cover from the cannon shot sure to be aiming for her.

Laughing as she turns back to the party, "Look at all the pretty explosions!"

The cannon made me want to channel my inner Tristana.

Bulldozer flies into the gatehouse with others, readying to Power Attack any intruders that may come through.

"MY WEAPON SHALL BRING US VICTORY!"

2d20 ⇒ (9, 5) = 14

The big troll and his smaller buddy howl in pain, while the third simply chucks a rock at the first man to show himself through the gate: Bulldozer.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

But he aims poorly, and settles for working his way down the stairs instead.

Zeke again. Nearest troll (the one that just went) is a total of maybe 40 feet away, though 10 of that is up a narrow staircase.

So can I reach it, or does the stair slow me down?

I think it's time for a G L O R I O U S C H A R G E

I think it's time for a G L O R I O U S C H A R G E

TENNO HEIKAI BANZAI

Can't charge in a curve, but yeah you could reach it if you have 40 feet of movement.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd have to be pretty stupid to singlehandedly G L O R I O U S A T T A C K all three trolls.

Also, I don't think I can rage yet - I'm still fatigued from my last rage, unless the trolls either showed up immediately or 3+ rounds after we killed the trollhounds.

They showed up after you dropped the hounds, but not much after. Since you were smashing the gate, we can still say you were Raging, unless you'd prefer not to be.

Though, only one Troll is up that starcase. The other two are up the other tower,and one is on the battlements type area.

Oh, okay then.

Ezekiel goes to attack the troll up the staircase.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
3d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 17 = 24

Ezekiel whacks the Troll, who grunts in pain.

The normal troll begins walking down the stairs, while the big nasty one takes aim at one of the two people he can still see: Darius.

1d2 ⇒ 2

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

THere is a huge explosion, and a lead ball the size of his head slams into the dirt next to him, momentarily blinding him with the cloud of dust, though it quickly settles.

The troll tosses the cannon aside in disgust, and it hits the ground with a *CRASH*.

It too, begins walking down the stairs.

Well that was disappointing. Two rounds of loading the damn thing for a miss. =(

Darius!

Darius snorts and moves into the fort he takes his bow and readies a shot for when the Big boss troll comes down the steps and give him an acidic arrow to the face. He glowed with holy power as his aim was improved.

Justice Acid Bow Shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d8 + 7 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (2) + 1 = 18

Move in and ready, Swift Judgement

Confirm Justice Acid Bow Shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 162d8 + 14 ⇒ (8, 1) + 14 = 23

Darius, you know it's going to be at least the next round before he comes down, so if yu want to change your action go ahead. I'll let you keep the roll for next round though.

THe troll on the battlements decides to join his friends, but he can enjoy a more dirct route.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Alas, he is less nimble than he thought. He hits the ground with a thump on his back.

1d6 ⇒ 1

Note the wall is 20 feet high but my logic here is that since the troll is 10 feet tall he can hang off the wall and then drop, making it effectively only 10.

He stads up, brushes himself off, and glares at Darius and Bulldozer menacingly.

Jones! Zin! Bulldozer!

Do we have a map by chance?

-Posted with Wayfinder

You do now. Pretend the courtyard is twice as big as it is (10 ft. squares). They put all these trolls in here and there' not enough room for them to occupy the rooms, much less take those stairs.

Hmm, Think I'll just toss on Shield of Faith

Bulldozer flies over the troll and proceeds to bash the troll's skull in with a Power Attack.

"Get in here and storm the front! Go go go!" he exclaims to no one in particular.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Bulldozer whacks the grounded troll about the head successfully.

Don't forget your iterative. He's within your reach with a 5 ft. step.

Darius will go in whip the other Troll on this turn and ready action/shoot the next one next round. He pulls his whip in his free hand and carries the bow in the other.

Justice Grimoire Whipping(Cover): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d3 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Darius leaves a stripe on the troll's face.

Jones drinks a Shield extract and moves toward the troll.

I'll just roll for him then.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

1d10 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Buldozer whacks the troll really hard TWICE.

Zeke-sterrrr

Ezekiel unleashes two devastating hammer blows, followed by a grinding bite.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
3d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 17 = 22

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
3d6 + 17 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 17 = 23

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

those rolls though

Man if you'd bothered to git gud roll better he'd be down for the count.

The troll and big nasty troll that had the cannon make their way down the stairs, and seeing tasty morsels lash out with their claws (though not before big boss troll gets nailed in the face with Darius' arrow).

Though unfortunately his AC is a good 4 points higher than the others, so it doesn't Confirm.

He looks quite the worse for wear between that powerful shot and the earlier Fireball, and is pissed at Darius. They both bite at teh monster hunter.

2d20 ⇒ (20, 1) = 21

1d20 ⇒ 4

The other troll inadvertently shoves his boss out of the way as he bites into Darius, sending his now visible necklace of rotting severed hands swaying with a sickly squelching sound.

1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Darius, take 7 damage.

And Darius is up!

No big deal they haven't been regeneration thats the important part. Wouldt his turn had been the readied though?

Darius spits on the ground dropping his whip after adjusting back 5ft and giving the boss another arrow to the face. He coats this one in an acid flask as well.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d8 + 7 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + (4) + 1 = 19

Will be fairly busy tomorrow, so have a full-attack JIC I can't post until late in the evening.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
3d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 6, 4) + 17 = 29

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
3d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) + 17 = 25

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Hopefully that should do the trick.

Oh yeah, doy. So Darius you used your turn already.

The troll Zeke has been beating on decides to retaliate.

3d20 ⇒ (13, 20, 12) = 45

Confirm?: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Damage: 1d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1) + (4, 3) + 15 = 23

Rend: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Ezekiel takes 34 damage (minus any DR 4 times).

Jones, Zin, and Dozer?

Bulldozer repeats.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Or if he's already dead by his turn, I guess I'll fly up the stairs, using acrobatics to not get AOO'd to death.

There is more downstairs apparently, Rynjin has adjust the map quite yet

Upstairs, you mean. There' no more to this courtyard than the square and the gatehouses.

'Dozer clobbers the troll into submission. And then whacks him again for good measure.

Impossible.. I was downstairs and then they came down and hit me. here was one upstairs Zeke went after that one.. Then one Jumped down, the other two walked down.

...Yes. They were all upstairs (remember, tossing rocks, shooting cannons over the walls?). You were at ground level. Now they have all come down. Which is exactly what you described.

So which ones are still Acided?

The big boss man was hit by Darius' acid laced arrow, the rest are fine since nobody reaplied fire or acid to them.

They are burning

Ah, right, I forgot about that. Then the two near Darius have their Regen shut off, but the one 'Dozer knocked out and the one Zeke is fighting still do.

let's see, I suppose I'll burn some.

Whichever troll is within 30 feet of another I'll drop a flaming sphere on it, then use my move action to switch it to the other close by troll.

Flaming Sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12

Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Burning for 2 per round, DC19 Reflex to negate.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jones Studies and attacks the troll.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

There are 3 trolls within 30 feet of another, but one is unconscsious. Would you prefer damaging two, or finishing off one permanently?

Jones hits the big boss troll, poking a hole in him.

Poked brian on steam.

"If you can't slam with the best, jam with the rest."

Bulldozer repeats with a more focused and accurate attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"Sometimes, that light at the end of the tunnel is me ripping out your throat."

Burning the down one and one standing

-Posted with Wayfinder

1d20 ⇒ 2

The unconscious troll expires completely, while the other standing one is left standing, barely.

Bulldozer rectifies that mistake, and drops the big troll with his second hit as well.

Two trolls are dead, boss man is unconscious and burning, and the one Zeke is fighting is at about half health.

Zeke drops the last troll with his full attack.

Consider combat over. It's a simple matter to CdG big boss man, and sprinkle soem Alchemist's Fire or Acid on the last one.

The battle over, a few things become apparent.

Three goblins are hiding under an overturned cart staring at you, expressions of glee on their face at the death of the trolls.

A tattered piece of cloth with blue trim is attached to the wall. It may have once been a piece of clothing. Mending it would reveal more.

The troll boss had 3 fancy hatpins stuck into his body (among myriad other piercings). Collectively, these are worth 300 gp. He also carries a gold bound spyglass (worth 1000 gp) which may exlain why they had time to prepare for you.

Darius retrieves his whip and places his bow safely on his back a small grimace as he casts CLW on himself.

1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Once done he whips the ground making a crack and points at the Goblins

" Come out and explain yourselves you little wretches "

"You kill them. We free now, yes?"

" Hrmmph, you tell us what we want to know. Then you free. "

"Fine." the lead one spits on the nearest troll corpse.

"What you want to know?"

Darius ponders for a moment, a small grin grows as he marks the Goblin's behavior " Why were you and the trolls here and who are all of you? Do you know what this place is or who owns it? "
