Aubrey's Eberron campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

Lightbringer nods at Rodergo’s warning, but focuses on the task at hand. The fact that they should not be here may mean they are an illusion … but Lightbringer doesn’t really have the time or imagination to think of that, assuming instead that Karile has found some way to do the impossible.

“I smite thee, spawn of evil,” he intones, swinging his blade at the Quori in front of him.

Attack #1: 11+10+2 (flanking) +2 (smite) -2 (PA) = 23. Damage: 7+5+6 (smite) + 4 (PA) = 22.
Attack #2 (at the same target, or the other creature if the first one goes down): 19+5 -2 (PA) (+2 flanking if applicable) = 22 (or 24). Crit confirm: 4
Damage: 9+5+4 = 18

“Flamebearer, you may be able to send them back to the beyond,” he calls to Xativa.

I don't know what the deal is here, with them not being able to be on Eberron, but if they're real Rod's Exorcist powers may (or may not) help here.

right on; I'm waiting to see what Aubrey said to my spoiler, then I'll decide how to proceed.

Trose sneaks forward before driving the point of his rapier into the side of the dream-monster.

Move to G24 before attacking the thing in H25. Attack roll 11+8+2(flank w/Arek)=AC 21, damage 4+2+9(sneak attack)=15.

Janosz throws his bow up on the walkway and then clambers up to get it. Once there, he takes careful aim at Karile's personal assistant.

Climbing up to E18. Climb check 16+7=23. Next round, the arrows start flying.

Also, here are the important stuff again:

Aubrey:

** spoiler omitted **

Rod:

Lightbringer pulps the quori in front of himm and it burst into clear fluid, drenching everyone nearby in a viscous fluid which evaporates in a few seconds. Quori in H25 down.

Knowledge (Arcana), DC 20:

Lightbringer second blow hits the other monster hard, but is endures. Trose probes its defences, but it darries deftly. Trose cannot hit it from G24, and so doesn't get a flanking bonus. I'm putting him at I24.

Slightly out of order, but it's Rod, then Ez.

"What in Xoriat...?!" Ezreal mutters when Lightbringer's sword slashes through the nightmare leaving a trail of dripping goo. "She is shaping them through pure force of will! What the hell are you woman? That is Kalashtar magic!"

Kn Arcana 12+13 = 25

Know: arcana r 14+2 nope.

Rod moves to c27, turn check r15+3=18=level+2=8hd.

damg r7+4=11 h.d.

"Be thou turned, you that should not be here!!!"

Gnnnnnnng!!! (lol)

I'm gonna stick with my action, because
1)I go before Ez and
2)I was working on that move; I didn't see Ez's post, ergo
3)Metagaming knowledge is obviated.

Under the force of Rodergo's exorcism, the remaining quori explodes in a drenching fountain of ectoplasm. Second one down.

Ez.

Huzzah!

Rodergo stands there, shaking for a second with a wide-mouthed expression of surprise..."I...didn't think that would happen..."

lol neither did I!!! Huzzah! I kil't something tough!!!

Woohoo!

“You will not stop us Karile,” Lightbringer calls, his sword and armour dripping with ectoplasm. “Surrender now. Let a jury, rather than our blades decide your fate.”

Where did Runzyl end up moving to last round by the way? I kinda got lost with all those jumps and climbs and stuff.

I think Runzy's in E28.

I think Runzy's in E28.

Cool, thanks.

I kilt something! SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

You pulverised it. Expelled it from this universe.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

"Hey, Karile....I pulverized your.....boyfriend."

heh heh....

(Ez.)

Ezreal sticks to Lightbringer like a second shadow, repairing as fast as he can.

RLD: 1+1 = 2 bleh.

Trose, then Janosz, then Ceshto.

Trose moves to I30 and pops Karile with his crossbow. Attack roll 13+7=AC 20, damage 6.

Janosz, having climbed up on the walkway, moves north to get a better firing angle.

Move to B17, firing once at Karile. Attack roll 14+10=AC 24, damage 6+3=9.

Ceshto moves to B30.

Now Karile (and, possibly, the delaying badass secretary).

Both shots connect, but seem to do no damage. Karile calls out, "Kill the Tharashk." She then turns to look towards Janosz.

Ez, LB, Rod and Trose, DC 15 Sense Motive check.

Janosz, Will save, DC 19. If you fail:

Arek abruptly turns and, raising his axe, charges at Trose. He hits, gouging a bloody track across Trose's back. Charge to I29, 14 points of damage to Trose.

Bool, then Runzyl. By the way, where is Runzyl? Last I heard he was hanging from underneath the catwalk by one hand.....

Sense Motive: 16+1 = 17. I’ll wait until the others make their rolls before LB says anything.

R19...SENSE MOTIVE...

Will save 10+6+4(action point)=20. Phew! Thank god for my Cloak of resistance.

Also, Runzy'l climbing up onto the catwalk. He'll be up and running on his turn.

Sense Motive: 1-1 = 0
I seem to always fail Sense Motive spectacularly in both games.

Sense Motive for Trose - nat 20.

“Gnarly and Arek! They are ensorcelled,” calls Lightbringer. “We must attempt to knock them out or restrain them, before they do harm to themselves or u … oh,” as Arek hacks into Trose.

“Arek! What you doin’, fool?” calls out Bool, lumbering over, still tired after his rage. As he approaches Gnarly, he hears Lightbringer’s call, slows and looks at Gnarly warily, ready to defend himself.

Moves to F26. Prepares an action to attack Gnarly if he initiates hostilities.

Runzyl.

Runzyl attempts to pull himself up onto the catwalk (at D39) near the women...

Climb: 10 + 6 + 1(Prayer) + 1(AP) = 18. Moving at 1/4 speed to avoid penalties. I... don't think that's successful. If I don't fall and can make a second attempt as my other move action this round, I will. Climb #2 (if possible): 19 + 6 + 1(Prayer) = 26.

Opening of Round 12

Runzyl attempts to pull himself up onto the catwalk (at D39) near the women...

Climb: 10 + 6 + 1(Prayer) + 1(AP) = 18. Moving at 1/4 speed to avoid penalties. I... don't think that's successful. If I don't fall and can make a second attempt as my other move action this round, I will. Climb #2 (if possible): 19 + 6 + 1(Prayer) = 26.

(Second attempt is successful.)

Gnarly ignores Bool and charges at Trose, his axe chopping into Trose's leg. (Chrages to H29, 12 points to Trose, AoO from Bool.)

Karile's secretary sprints along the catwalk as Runzyl hauls himself topside. She unleashes a flurry of blows (a Flurry of Blows, even - and that isn't a mistake, she gets a full attack after a charge), landing a kick to the elf's head and punch under his ribs. (Charge to E40, two hits for 10 and 8 points of damage. The rail provides cover across the diagonal: -2 to hit.)

Runzyl barely flinches, taking the hits with a sadistic grin.

"Finally, a fair fight," he clutches the scimitar and prepares to face his opponent... (on his initiative...)

AoO for Bool - attack roll 11+9=AC 20, damage 7+3=10. This takes into account that he is fatigued. Also, Trose is down to 7 hit points after that blow.

Finally, don't forget Lightbringer's Good Devotion effect and the DR 2/- it gives most of us.

Lightbringer's up.

Lightbringer's up.

(I never count the DR when I give damage out, so that may have an impact if it wasn't included before.)

Lightbringer looks briefly at Bool. “Take Gnarly. I will not do any permanent damage.”

With that he lumbers at Arek to I28 and swings the flat of his blade at the half-orc, hard.
Attacking for non-lethal: 17+10+2 (flanking) –4 (PA) –4 (non-lethal): 21
Damage: 8+5+8 = 21 points of non-lethal damage.

And yes, Trose is still under the effect of Good Devotion (as are Arek and Gnarly).

(I never count the DR when I give damage out, so that may have an impact if it wasn't included before.)

I know you don't - it's mostly to remind us when doing our bookkeeping.

Rodergo and Ezreal.

hmmmm......
dispel magic area catches gnarly, arek, and trose.

in order

checks on

gnarly 7, 20, 23; I dispelled the 2nd or third highest spell I bet....(ugh)

on

arek 23, 20, 19; that's a better looking set.

on

trose 11, 13, 23, 10, 24,.....
I doubt he's got that many spells on him so...

oh well; gnarly's at least prolly still a sleeper assassin.

While waiting for Ezreal...

"Gaaah! What is wrong with you guys?" Trose takes off, dodging his new assailants.

Double move to D38. This provokes no attacks of opportunity.

Janosz shifts slightly in order to get a better line of fire at Karile.

5' step to A17. Perhaps shooting her will work this time? With Rapid Shot: Attack 1: 13+8=AC 21, damage 7+3=10. Attack 2: 12+8=AC 20, damage 4+3=7. Attack 3: 11+3=AC 14, damage 5+3=8.

Arek blinks and then looks horrified at his axe, smeared with Trose's blood. Gnarly presses on, his face an expressionless mask.

Janosz's arrows hit again, but Karile seems undamaged.

Dammit! Do the arrows bounce off, or does she just seem unbothered by the hits?

Dammit! Do the arrows bounce off, or does she just seem unbothered by the hits?

(They cause wounds but they don't seem severe and don't bleed.)

“Arek. Help Bool subdue the dwarf.”

Ez.

Ezreal keeps an eye on the scene above while he continues his repair work.

RLD 5+1

Trose steps around Gnarly and tries to club the dwarf senseless with the basket-hilt of his rapier.
5 foot step to H30. Attacking Gnarly for non-lethal: 17+8-4 = 21.
Damage: 4+2 = 6 non-lethal.

OK, we have two posts for what Trose is doing this round, and on a first come, first served basis I'm running with Vatters' move action out of the way to D38. Also, Ez didn't post a move but Repaired LB, who has moved, so I'm assuming that Ez is at H27 behind LB.

It's Ceshto, then Karile.

Huh. I don't see Vatters' post for Trose ... and shouldn't Janosz be up?

EDIT: oh, there it is. Sorry.
