And Then a Skeleton Popped Out: subSPUF Carrion Crown

Game Master Rynjin

...... What? Did you say.. that a armor bonus.. doesnt apply to your AC?

Wait. Derp. Don't mind me, I'm just being retarded over here.

Zin and Jones still actions have they.

I'm waiting to see if Zin torches them.

She did her action already

Yeah, I cast Protection From Evil on my round.

Ah. You put it in OOC so I thought you were saying that gave him extra AC or something. Make sure to say "I cast" when you do.

Sledge charges forward.

3d20 ⇒ (18, 6, 15) = 39

Damage: 2d8 + 37 ⇒ (1, 2) + 37 = 40

The Dorzhanev nearest Darius rocks back from the force of his jackhammer punches.

Jones gets next to the werewolf Sledge walloped, trying to dodge its blows as he closes in.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
D:

Then he studystabs it.

Rapier+insp: 1d20 + 16 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 16 + (4) + 1 = 25
1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

You don't need Acrobatics. Dorzhanev are Medium sized.

Jones swiftly moves in and pierces the Dorzhanev's heart, killing it.

The next Dorzhanev also charges in at Darius.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

But this one doesn't even come as close as the last.

Darius, then Duristan.

Delay until after Duristan

Duristan grins and circles around to flank with Jones, swinging his longsword, though he's still fatigued from his possession.

Sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Crit?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Damage: 2d8 + 26 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 26 + (3, 6) = 47

Dropping the poor wolf with a single slice!

Darius nodded, " Good.. you took advantage while I distracted it.. "

He moved in range of the last and whipped at it's chest with Grimoire.

Powerful Mutagen Grimoire Whipping: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Powerful Mutagen Grimoire Whipping Damage: 1d3 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Just realized I didn't add the Charge bonus to the first wolf's to-hit, but I won't retcon it unless you really WOULD prefer to fail that save.

The final Dorzhanev likewise charges forward, snapping its jaws at Darius.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

With similar results.

Back up to Zin/Sledge/Jones.

Study. Stab.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Seeing two wolves go down with little effort, Z approaches the last one and makes a motion to beckon him away, sending a wave of flame at him.

Burning Hands DC18: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 4, 2) = 16

Burning: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Spell counts - 4, 3, 2

1d20 ⇒ 4

The beast yelps in pain as it is stabbed, then scorched.

3d20 ⇒ (2, 14, 4) = 20

1d8 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Then screams again as Sledge punches it.

Duristan then moves in.

1d20 ⇒ 11

1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

And is finally silenced by a final swipe from Duristan.

End combat, but still act in Initiative order. So Darius is up.

Depends on if that attack included power attack to hit, might miss anyway. I'll just take the hit then

Darius grunted and waved his arm, " Let's not waste time "

He keeps going.

Jones follows.

Don't forget Sledge still has an Enlarge Person infusion in his wrist sheath.

You ascend.

The stairs emerge onto a wide, circular platform at the top of the tower, standing almost one hundred and fifty feet above the forest floor. An arrangement of large menhirs and megaliths encircles the perimeter of the open-air observatory.

This is the place known as Highthrone, the seat of the Packlord.

Roughly 30 feet away stands Mathus and one other werewolf, who you can deduce to be the Dorzhanev leader, Cybrisa Dorzhanev.

"So the Jezeldans are allying with humans now?" he sneers.

Darius barks, " Tough talk coming from someone who relied on a human and the Whispering Way to kill the last Pack Lord rather than himself! Your little patsie ran away like a pup with his tail between his legs. It reminded me of you. "

"Hey yeah, big insult, since you know, you became a subservient b%+!& to a bunch of necromancers to usurp the actually leader of your kind because you weren't man enough to do it yourself. Big talk."

Get out of my head Darius

-Posted with Wayfinder

Darius makes eye contact with Zin for but a moment before looking back to Mathus. That was odd.

The second werewolf looks at Mathus oddly.

"What are they talking about?"

She looks back at you.

"Explain yourselves."

"Your little friend called in a favor from the Whispering Way to have them deal with Sain, why do you think he hasn't presented the heart yet?"

"Why don't you leave before you end up being turned into an oversized rug, along with your necromancer worshipping friend."

-Posted with Wayfinder

" He's a traitor and a B**&! in every sense of the word "

"They're lying, Cybrisa. Just a trick to drive a wedge between us."

1d20 ⇒ 13

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Cybrisa's eyes widen at this obvious lie, and she steps away from Mathus with a snarl.

"You'll pay for this treachery, Mathus."

Party Init: 5d20 ⇒ (13, 2, 20, 11, 6) = 52

Mathus Init: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Cybrisa Init: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Jones, then Darius.

"Just so you know Mathis."

"My Jezeldan friend here has a particular hatred of traitors, so he says, let's take care of this uprising."

"We're here to destroy the Whispering Way, but we said, hey sure, Werewolf civil war, that will take like what, a day to crush? Yeah sure, as a favor to you."

"You understand that Matthew? You're an inconvenience, your clan will long tell tales of the Witch of Flames who scaled the staircase and slew you, but for me, it was just Toilday."

Petition to take Z's skill ranks out of Intimidate and into talking mad shit?

Darius begins to resonate with a holy aura, one that seems distorted slightly. " I condemn you for your actions, Come face me and die "

Darius casts Divine Favor and Activate Judgement.

Petition to take Z's skill ranks out of Intimidate and into talking mad s$$&?

Sooo...Intimidate?

Jones study-stabs Mathus.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Jones' rapier pierces Mathus' skin, though barely. His look promises a painful retaliation.

Sledge drinks his Enlarge Person Extract, growing Large.

With lightning speed, Mathus draws a a Bastard Sword and a Kukri, then swiftly retaliates against Jones.

Bastard Sword 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Kukri 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Bastard Sword 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Kukri 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

The Bastard Sword and Kukri hit supernaturally hard. What's worse, Mathus seems VERY experienced in fighting humans.

Damage: 2d8 + 1d6 + 29 ⇒ (5, 7) + (3) + 29 = 44

Jones take 44 damage. Zin's up.

Jones goes down for the count.

What was your actual HP? If it was 23, you're ded. If it was full, you're still up at 1 HP.

Z will rise into the air thirty feet and cast Burst of Radiance onto Mathus, but not hitting Cybrisa.

Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 1, 4) = 12

DC18 Reflex

Blinded Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

-Posted with Wayfinder

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Mathus manages to shut his eyes just in time to prevent his retinas from being scorched.

Cybrisa growls and a group of neon colored poison dart frogs appear around Mathus!

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Mathus vs Distraction: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Mathus vs Poison: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Duristan moves forward with a roar, circling Mathus to flank(?) with Jones.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 13 + (3, 1) = 25

Darius's wounds seem to close up faster and faster as his Whip reaches out and rasps Mathus along the face.

" How does it feel to have no allies!? To rue the existence of your fate. Not even your kin care for you! Taste the whip. "

Powerful Mutagen Shapechanger Bane Grimoire Whipping: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Powerful Mutagen Shapechanger Bane Grimoire Whipping: 1d3 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 15 + (2, 4) = 22

Heal 2 from this round and last round, Last round of Bane

SHIT NOT AGAIN

Might have been better off not running up to him first.. It's why Darius buffed. Then again If the first hit would have put you unconscious he might not have stabbed you.. although you were the only target and there is no kill like overkill.

Yeah no one else to massacre, might as well be the over eager elf.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I dont remember Jones being hit though

I don't either, but he probably was. I'll give you a mulligan and assume you were at full HP. Just deduct like 3 or 4 charges from your CLW wand and we'll assume you used it while walking up one of the staircases.

So, you're up.

Darius slashes Mathus across the face with the strongest hit yet!

Sledge, embiggened with largeness, charges in.

3d20 ⇒ (2, 15, 19) = 36

Damage: 2d8 + 44 ⇒ (8, 6) + 44 = 58

And knocks him unconscious!

Going through the last couple of fights he hasnt been touched since... before our lodge fight. Even then When he was using the wand it would have made no since to be at half health while fighting the boss.. especially since most wolves at this point have shown the uncanny ability to hit super hard.. for some reason. Either way I doubt Jone's action will change Sledge's

Caught me while I was editing. Sledge knocked Mathus out.

So the battle is over?

Yes, battle is over, though Mathus is still alive (just unconscious).

Darius moves up looking warily at Cybrisa before circling around and placing a foot on Mathus' chest. He wrapped his Whip around the Werewolves neck ready to pull back and rend his head off before touching him to revive the fallen traitor.

Rebuke Death: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Rebuke Death: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

" Speak, Weakling! You have no right to refuse. Tell me everything you know! "

Mathus only answer is to bite at you. He's a spiteful wretch, and knows that if he can't hold Highthrone he has nothing to live for.

Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Damage (assuming Darius doesn't kill him): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Darius pulls back on the whip cutting into Mathus's flesh as he reaches out blocking with his arm before snapping it back.

You had this coming!: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Taste the Pain!: 1d3 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Darius doesnt stop he Stabs his claws into the wolf's chest pulling out his heart and presents his head. Looking to Cybrisa

" DO you have anything to say? "

Mathus' head flies free from his shoulders as silver fire flashes on the stump.

Darius doesnt stop he Stabs his claws into the wolf's chest pulling out his heart and presents his head. Looking to Cybrisa

" DO you have anything to say? "

"What do you want to know?"

Darius ripped Mathus' heart out and slowly walked towards her, " Everything you know.. Don't skip any details. Why did you ally with this worthless piece of filth when the ascension itself was suspect. "
