Ashardaldon Series - Unoptimized KK (Inactive)

Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

I was literally right behind Gurukk, hence the offer to use Aid Another to help his Intimidate. Do I arrive same round? Also, how close are we? For spell range purposes.

Kheldor can act in the surprise round about 20 feet away. assuming you stopped to cast a spell when Gurukk charged forward.

Stepping to within fifteen feet of the rat folk, Kheldor unleashes a blast of swirling colors, catching as many as possible in its area. Casting Color Spray Will DC 16 to negate

Gurukk steps back and does burning hands on the rats

Xane looks down at the little furry fellow swinging a tiny piece of metal in her direction.

She puts her hands on her hips and sighs.

"Are you sure you want to be doing that?" She asks, simply.

"Always has to be rats....GURUKK SHOW THESE CREATURES WHAT WE DO WITH RATS! REMEMBER THERE BETTER EXTRA CRISPY!! Respen shouts out while he stabs the creature with his rapier.

DM Notes

You are up!

Gurukk joins with Respen in the fight, "Tonight Gurukk dines like Orc Chieftan!"

Attack Were-rat 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Respen smirks at the were rat as the orc's shadow looms over it, "Looks like you might be on the menu." With that he sinks his rapier into the were creature.

Flanking with Gurukk
Rapier attack:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Sneak attack:1d6 ⇒ 5
Holy damage(if able):2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11
Swift lay on hands:1d6 ⇒ 3
Current HP: 30/43

Xane frowns as the little furry critter nicks and nibbles at her.

Fort Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Actually...with an 18 both times I do believe the little bugger missed?

Xane sighs, reaches over and picks up the nearest object...

Att Roll:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27(Catch Off Guard Target is effectively Flat Footed)

And slams it down on said little furry.

Insert DM's amount of appropriate damage for what ever was the closest thing Xane could lift/pick up. Also +10 damage for two handed weapon-ization of whatever it was (^_^)

Stalls don't weight that much? Do they? (>_>)

"What tha flip!"

Gnome Hook hammer
Hammer
Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Knowledge rolls might be useful...

Kheldor?

....

Gurukk is secure in his knowledge (or lack of true knowledge but think he knows) of the Fire God.

Of these things he knows nothing

....

Hey, I hit something. I think...

Xane puts a hurt on her wererat.

@Respen Shortsword 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

DM Notes

You are up!

Xane simply drops the...wreckage she's now holding. Looks down at the little furry guy who's poked her with his tiny piece of metal and sighs.

CMD:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20(To get a hold of the lil' bugger

She reaches out to grab the little furry...

But has probably missed this round.

I only have Knowledge(Arcana)

"Foul creature I be done with you!" With that he strikes at the creature with his rapier yet again.

Rapier strike:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Sneak attack damage:1d6 ⇒ 4
Holy damage:2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
Swift lay on hands:1d6 ⇒ 2
Current HP:29/43

"Everything will die with an axe to the face! That is all you need to know!"

Great Axe 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 *+2 more if flanking with Respen*
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Respen kills a rat.

Xane picks one up and gets bite for 2 points of damage
Please make a DC 15 fortitude save!

Gurukk takes his axe to a wererat that is still blinding, the other blind one smells his way towards the sewers.

You are up!

Fort Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Xane looks at the little critter. Raises an eyebrow...and simply sighs. Then she braces, tensing the muscles in her arms and upper body, before simply throwing the rattling straight up.

"Going for distance!" She shouts as the rat-ling flies.

Att Roll:1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 = 19 (Effectively a two handed 'Throw anything' but with no feat, taking a -4)

So...not sure how much elevation said little varmint will actually get....So what ever height it gets determines its falling damage.

Even as the rat-ling leaves her Xane is looking around for another target.

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Meh ! (-_-)

Respen moves in with Gurukk on the wererat thats blind, and stabs it with his rapier.

Swift lay on hands:1d6 ⇒ 5
Rapier attacke:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

holy damage:2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
HP:34/43

Gurukk continue to attack the were-rat with Respen

GreatAxe 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
Damage 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

A wererat slips into the sewers out of sight, the remaining wererats are down for the count.

The dead wererats revert to human form as the town guard arrives in force and stares at you.

The leader yells at you...
"Put down your weapons!"

Gurukk puts his great axe down, points to the now human looking bodies and says, "This isn't what it looks like!"

Xane just puts her hands on her hips.

"What weapons?" She asks casually.

Were-rat returning from orbit in 5...4...3...2... (^_^)

If only someone was skilled in diplomacy....

Oh but we do! *wink*wink*

Respen gives the guard a salute and sheathes his rapier, "No problem sir, my name is Sir Respen Bayleef, humble servant of Imoedae, and these are my colleagues Lady Xane the infamous rat launcher, Gurukk Pyreborn, the roaster of rats, and Kheldor, the blinder of rats. Luckily we were in the area to keep your townsfolk safe from this attack. I'm sure we have plenty of witnesses seeing our heroic deeds. I know your here to offer us a reward and we are grateful for that, you might want to step to the side because I think the rat rocket is going to make a crash landing soon enough, well thrown Lady Xane." Respen takes a step back and gives the guards a polite nod and smile.

Diplomacy:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Orc spell Diplomacy differently than human. Intimidate

Kheldor bows his head slightly at Respen's introduction "My friend here speaks the truth. We are mighty heroes indeed" 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Diplomacy Aid Another

Er, that should be the reverse, with Respen aiding me, but Kheldor isn't one to talk too much

Xane coughs absently and sidles over to one possibly distraught stall owner and begins to whisper to them.

The guards begin questioning survivors and shop owners on what happened.

DM roll
1d20 ⇒ 5
low is bad high is good....

Oh no!

A badly shaken shop owner remembers seeing you charging in his direction and a spell going off and he doesn't remember much after that.

Respen asks around as well for witnesses and offers healing to any that have been hurt.

Diplomacy (gather info):1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Xane quietly exchanges some coin for the small pile of match-wood and rags that used to be a stall.... *whistles innocently*

You are detained for a short period of time, but this town is close enough that your reputation as Orc hunters wins you the benefit of the doubt.

The fair goes on as usual though people are a bit less relaxed than you expected.

Just partying or asking around?

Xane will return to her routine of Doggie walking/exercising and talking to people between doggie walking/training.

So, yeah, kind of both? Also...keep an eye out for 'suspicious' (And possibly furry) types who seem as interested in the group.

Being an Orc of the Fire God who has massive burns including a melted eye, Gurukk doesn't connect people being less relaxed than any other time he is by people.

Will hit the drinking tents, have a few drinks and inquire about these rat men from the sewers. Maybe earn a few more coins by playing my mandolin for the crowds.

Diplomacy(Gather Info):1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Perform(string Insturments):1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Kheldor will go drinking with Gurukk, at least the first night. He doesn't drink much, but he'll buy the fire orc several rounds.

He also chats up the locals, looking for any useful or interesting information 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Diplomacy

Gather information
Check 10-14 Respen

Check 15-19 Kheldor

Erky with blood-shot eyes and slurred speech is being helped around by Soot who he has been giving beer through the evening and into the night.

"Some party!"

Gurukk gets as drunk as possible as long as Kheldor keeps buying

The next day around noon finds you slightly hung-over, and hungry.

Well...except for Xane....Who is wondering what's going on with poor Soot....(¬_¬)

Gurukk finds a good place to eat, and by good meaning greasy meat that probably shouldn't even be eaten.

Respen goes with the fire lords emissary, on the way the seasoned drinker pops an alchemist kindness and wonders why these things don't work faster.

"Did the fire lord bless your night my friend?" He says softly to the orc. "Hopefully you don't have a headache, cause it seems the Baron of this land likes to do daily speeches with lots of trumpets."

"Yar, Gurukk's head does hurt. Nothing that more of the same won't fix." You are not sure, but Gurukk looks more green than normal.

Erky is still asleep attached by animated rope to Soots back....

The rope tickles his nose every few minutes....

Xane untangles Erky. Relieves Soot of her 'burden' and settles the Gnome in one of the spare bundles of hay still left about in her currently rented 'domicile' of a barn. Before walking Soot over and having a playful tussle, a brief brushing down, a light breakfast with the other two doggies and thence back into the morning routine of running and training.
