And Then a Skeleton Popped Out: subSPUF Carrion Crown

Game Master Rynjin

chooses movement to close quickly

Darius rushes the curate on Jones, " Sledge you handle the other one "

Grimoire lashes around the curates neck intending to rend flesh.. the glow of his anger showed greatly

Powerful Mutagen Human Bane Grimoire Whipping: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Powerful Mutagen Human Bane Grimoire Whipping Damage: 1d3 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 13 + (6, 3) = 24

Darius does more than rend the Curate's flesh, he pulls the Mithril whip so tight it pops his head right off.

"Dammit Eugenie!" the other Curate calls.

Sledge, Zin?

"PERISH!"

Sledge welcomes the other Curate to die.

+2 to hit from fervor.

Pummeling charge
1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 20
1d10 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 20
1d10 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 13
1d10 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Luckily I have very good rolls.

At least he's flat-footed.

Sledge flattens the remaining Curate before he has time to act.

And as all that's left are a couple of CR 1/2 skeletons who only hit on a 20, we can assume you win. Combat over.

Also Jones is permanently blind, anyone got a fix?

I ain't no caster.

Let's keep moving while the buffs are still going. Zin, fireballs into the tower?

You just want me to slam a fireball into the building?

Of all the 3rd level extracts I didn't think I would need...

"Well...this is unfortunate."

Jones takes out his sword cane, using it as...a cane.

"I'm afraid I cannot fight in this condition. I do have one Invisibility extract prepared. Perhaps I should use it to hide until the area is clear. Then we can return to the Lodge and ask around for someone who can cure me."

Kind of surprising that nobody in the party has ANY of the three spells needed here. I thought for sure Zin had Dispel Magic, but no dice. You need someone who can cast that, Remove Curse, or Remove Blindness/Deafness.

Rhakis might be able to help you out, if you go find him. He did display some healing magic earlier.

I haven't exactly been tripping over formula books with Remove Blindness/Deafness. Though I could use Paragon Surge > Blind-Fight as a temporary solution to combat.

Too bad you aren't an Alchemist. Extra Discovery: Dispelling Bombs would fix you right up.

Yeah Dispel Magic is on the list for next level.

Condition removal is not exactly my forte, we in general are no your standard group of problem solvers, I just usually plan on not failing the save. Jones could have used Inspiration on his save just to be sure. The closet thing I could do would be Surmount Affliction but they changed how it works now.

Another thing is we don't know if Rhakis could heal him unless the GM is giving us a ' you totally know this will work ' nod. All of us but Sledge can heal.. none of us can remove this effect. how strong of a spell have we even seen him cast?

He cast Cure Serious on one of his buddies. OOC knowledge has a chance (a single chance, it's his last level 3 spell slot) to remove the Blindness with Dispel Magic. He has better than even chances of removing it, though a below average roll on the check would leave Jones blinded.

Well Zin could cast Blessing of Fervor again I suppose, we can go see.

Darius growled, ofcourse there would be complications. " Your best bet is to go and see if Rhakis can fix you. Though he may well not have the capability. Someone grab Jones so he doesnt lag behind blind. "

Jones smirks in Darius's general direction. "I will need a guide, of course, but I assure you I won't need to be dragged along. I'm certain my reflexes are fast enough that I can keep up my usual pace without tripping."

I auto-succeed at the DC 10 Acrobatics check to move at full speed.

You arrive just as one of Rhakis' men is putting his sword througha Curate's throat.

"Excellent, excellent!" he shouts and everyone feels their Morale briefly increase.

He turns around to greet you.

"Friends? What is the matter? I had not expected to see you again so soon."

Darius thumbs over to the blind Jones, " Seems one of us has been stricken with a case of blindness. I was wondering if you had anything for that. "

"Maybe. Was it a spell?"

Assuming you affirm that it is:

Dispel check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Rhakis stretches out his hand and a purple bolt leaps form it to Jones' eyes. The evil magic obscuring his vision is obliterated, restoring his sight.

"Make sure not to get into any more trouble. I don't have any more of those."

Darius huffed, giving a nod, " Ofcourse I wouldn't encourage it either. We are about to Siege the tower, if our group hasnt come back in 5 to 10 minutes assume we have failed and your group will need to clean up, likely the enemy would have used the more dangerous resources by then. "

Jones blinks a few times and rubs his eyelids.

"Thank you, Rhakis." he says somewhat sheepishly. "I will certainly be more careful in the future."

He puts the cane away. "Shall we press onward?"

Do this, let's

" Of course. "

Darius moves the group to the tower entrance, if there is an unlocked door or similar, he propositions it be opened and a fireball be launched into whatever room.. after it is checked of traps and whatnot first.

The door appears to be barred from within, and the massive stone doors would take a great effort to bust open.

So what you're saying is one punch?

Also, isn't the roof broken or something? Could Zin fire in?

You can't lob a fireball, and it still has a ceiling.

Fort by the way, Rynjin.

Update your quickbar values to reflect that please.

I have to do the same soon

Darius gritted his teeth, " You think you can break through these doors Sledge or do we have to go through the ceiling? "

slej pls

Didn't get the notification for Darius' post.

"Get ready, boys."

Sledge kicks the door.

Pummeling charge, fervor for attack.

Checking for 1s: 4d20 ⇒ (8, 10, 1, 9) = 28

Why are my attack rolls so terrible?

3d10 + 22 + 19 + 19 ⇒ (5, 1, 7) + 22 + 19 + 19 = 73

Clearly you have wronged someone in a past life. Or because you are not a GLORIOUS BARBARIAN.

Sledge rocks the door, but it stands strong.

You hear a commotion coming from the attached building of the tower.

"Zin, ready up!"

ready yo action, because...

HERE COMES THE PUNCH

4d20 ⇒ (17, 20, 5, 14) = 56 lol420

And now I waste all of my good rolls.

4d10 + 22 + 19 + 19 + 19 ⇒ (9, 1, 9, 9) + 22 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 107

Sledge crumbles the stone door.

Inside is...an empty room. The first floor appears to be completely unoccupied.

The door to the adjacent building opens and out steps a clearly undead creature in robes, flanked by four more that look a lot like her.

Kn. Religion, please.

Upon the destruction of the door, eight skeletal archers appear on the balcony overlooking you as well.

The robed undead makes a "bring it on" gesture at the rest of you from 80 feet away.

4d20 ⇒ (20, 18, 3, 7) = 48

13d20 ⇒ (5, 15, 12, 7, 13, 18, 10, 16, 4, 11, 14, 6, 13) = 144

Darius, then a few archers (who all delay), then Jones.

Kn. Religion: 1d20 + 17 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 17 + (4) + 2 = 35

Can we get a Roll20 map?

I'll work on it a little bit later, yes.

These are Wights, undead creatures who inflict negative levels with every hit, and any creature that dies from it rises as one of them.

The one in robes is a much more powerful Dread Wight.

Darius picks the bonus to hit and AC

With a phrase Darius rushes in 20 ft and then readies a spell on the Dread Wight. A holy corona covering his form as he invoked the power of Sarenrae to shield him.

Readied Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Readied Spiritual Weapon Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Move 20, Ready against casting, Judgment of Purity for Saves, Judgement surge

+2 Attack and AC from fervor.

Jones drinks a Long Arm extract, then moves closer to one of the lesser Wights, stopping 15 feet away.

EDIT: Also he Studies it.

I'm really really holding back from imagining the whole group of undead to come out with robes shouting " Wight Power! Wight Power " to which Jones' 'lesser wight' comment is even funnier

As if this campaign needed more racist undertones.

It's basically built on it...

What color are the robes of the creatures?

Sledge, the robe is brown.

The robed undead...does not cast a spell.

She focuses on Jones, a mere 20 feet away, and LAUNCHES herself at him in a flying kick, then unleashes a brutal flurry of fists and knees the nimble Jones manages to dodge...all but one.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Jones take 12 damage and one Negative Level.

Then the next Wight charges in.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Also, Darius, can you break down your AC for me? I'm not seeing where you're getting 32 from.

Zin is up.

Didn't she provoke an AoO doing that? Had to move through my Long Arm threat range.

Yes.

GET SCIENCED UPON!: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
1d6 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (2, 6) = 21

MY LIFE IS A JOKE

Jones misses the incredibly nimble monkwight.

I swear to god, if this monk NPC was another one of your creations...

Dread Wight Monk (her name is Acrietia BTW) was written, I made it an Unchained Monk with very few other tweaks. Mainly because you guys' AC is RIDICULOUSLY high, and true full BaB helps.

Boooooo.
