Aubrey's Eberron campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

If you are caught up in the bridge collapse, you can all roll now rather than wait until your turns - this all happens in reaction to the bridge collapse, you will get your own actions on your turn.

And for those that asked on the other thread, the river runs west to east (says he, deciding that very moment).

The (remaining) witchdoctor: 23+
Ezreal: 23
Gil: 23-
Janosz: 19+
Jalana: 19
Wings-of-silver: 17
Runzyl: 16+
Rolund: 16
Basher: 13
Lightbringer: 5
Tribesmen: 3
Rodergo: 3-

Once you all resolve you potential dunking - Ez.

I've amended the rules on the Acrobatics check based on a rereading of the rules - eveyone who is haste gets a flat +12 to the roll. Re-edited in the orignal post.

The bridge collapses under Ezreal faster than he can react, but rather than grab for anything he falls voluntarily- at a slow speed. The mage is casting as he does so and trying to keep his calm reaches out for anyone falling near him as he completes his spell.

Ezreal's slow fall takes him through a portal that opens just below him. Passing through he lands lightly back on the bridge glaring across the divide at the new witchdoctor.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
I could spend an AP, but then I would fail the successive rolls. Instead Ez will voluntarily fall, which activates and expends his feather fall talisman. That reduces his falling speed to 60 feet per round. The bridge was 70' above the river so he doesn't hit. Then he casts Dimension Door and returns to K14.
I can take 2 medium creatures or one large with me if I can touch them.
Reflex saves to attempt it? If anyone in one of my adjoining squares actually falls?
I would use web to catch everyone, but I have no anchors as those who are falling will already be past the bridge when I would begin casting.
Debris damage 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) = 10

I think you would have to grab them before you fell. You failed your Reflex save so I'm saying you didn't react fast enough to grab anyone else.

"Oh, crap."

Is there a miss % chance for the witchdoctor? Also, how much weight can WoS carry with him when he teleports?

Reflex save for poor Basher: 11+2=13. Damage 18-2(DR)=16. THat puts him at -9 on the bottom of the river. Does he need to breathe? If not, he's actually (sort of) OK as he doesn't bleed. We can get down there and recover him once we're done with the other Seren.

Basher reacts too slowly as the bridge collapses. He grabs for a piece of masonry, but it crumbles; helplessly clutching the large rock, the warforged drops into the water and does not resurface.

As the bridge suddenly collapses on him, Rolund makes a desperate lunge to clear himself to safety but the distance is too great for him to cover.

First Ref save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21.
Acrobatics check (DC 30): 1d20 + 1 - 6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 6 + 4 = 4. Zero chance of making it even with an action point. Looks like I’m falling.
Second Ref save (catch vines): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27.
Damage (debris): 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) = 14.

Edit: Forgot the change to a +12 bonus to Acrobatics. Doesn't matter. Even an extra +8 won't help me.

There's supposed to be two Reflex saves. One to see if he can act and make the acrobatics check. If he fails the first, which he did, he gets a second save to grab some vines before he lands in the river. If he suceeds he'll take 3d6 damage from debris; if he fails, he'll take 7d6 damage from the fall and debris, I believe.

Second Ref save (catch vines): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22.
Damage (debris): 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) = 5.

I know it's my turn, but I don't think I want to push ahead (unless Aubrey says to) until the others have had an opportunity to react to the bridge collapse.

Second Ref save (catch vines): 1d20+2=.
Damage (debris): 3d6=.

Ah. I misread that. Basher's one lucky ducky - it looks like the piece of masonry held after all. :D

Runzyl and LB still to roll, I believe.

Runzyl is currently in M19. So I would need to jump to M22. DC (15 x 2 = 30). First Ref save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21. If that's successful, hail mary Jump (Acrobatics) check: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28. Hooray for Haste. And, actually, since my base speed is 40, I think I get an additional +4 on the Jump, but I doubt I'm gonna need it.

Edit: Wow, I rolled a 2 on the Jump. Aubrey, do I get the +4 for my higher base speed? If so, I make it anyway. If not, Action Point: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3. As long as that's not 2 1s, I make it.

You do as you base speed is 40, so you get an extra +4.

Hooray for Haste.

My one consistently useful spell -- really glad I cast it early this time around.

These guys are normal human as far as I know. You should be able to tear their shit right up- except maybe the witchdoctors who will have high Will's.

Aubrey:

Gil:

Gil, seeing the others fall, casts quickly (Fly) and "leaps" over the edge of the chasm, pursuing the fallen warriors.

At standard speed, she comes up just short of Basher's position in the vines (H17, 30' down from ground level). If she's able to increase her speed because she's diving (not sure the magic works that way), she pulls up adjacent to him (I18, 35' down from ground level).

Here's my adjusted action:

Cursing violently, Janosz steps forward and starts firing at the new arrival.

5' step to J10 before firing at the new witchdoctor.
Attack 1 (w/Manyshot): 12+15+1(Haste)=AC 28, damage 11+6=17, miss % roll 54.
Attack 2: 10+15+1=AC 26, damage 5+3=8, miss % roll 11, so that's a miss.
Attack 3:11+10+1=AC 22, damage 7+3=10, miss % roll 67.
Attack 4 (from Haste): 12+15+1=AC 28, damage 6+3=9, miss % roll 44.

These are the same rolls, but with a new target.

Adjusted actions for Jalana and WoS.

Jalana runs forward before squeezing off a shot.

Move to I12 before firing on the witchdoctor. Attack roll 17+8+1(Haste)=AC 26, damage 1+1=8, miss % roll 12=a miss.

Seeing party members tumble off the collapsing structure, Wings-of-Silver dives after them.

WoS has Teleport as a spell-like ability. Can he move down to Rolund, grab his hand and the teleport up to the south end of the bridge? If not, he just dives down, grabs Rolund and flies him to the north shore (I think the armoured Rolund too heavy to airlift back up for WoS).

LB still needs to make a Reflex save. After that, it's Runzyl's turn.

Know, Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

LB now needs to try an Acrobatics check to jump to safety.

LB took a 5 foot step forward to K20 to attack the last tribesman, so his Acrobatics check DC is 20. Hmmm, that 20 I just rolled for the reflex save would come in handy again now …
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

doh!

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Using an action point, best of: 1d6 ⇒ 4, 1d6 ⇒ 4

Ok, made the second save, so 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1) = 9 damage

Phew - you fall halfway and grab some shubbery.

Lightbringer grimly watches as the earth elemental emerges from the stone of the bridge. He is ready to leap – but his footing collapsing beneath him still takes him by surprise and he falls short of his jump, only barely managing to grab on to one of the dangling vines, battered by falling slabs of stone.

He looks around to see Rolund and – miraculously – Basher swinging from vines nearby. “Can you get back up?” he asks.

Hmmm. My hands were full with my sword and shield when I fell. So, did I lose my sword to grab some vines or am I tangled up in them?

Can I get a quick recap on the squares still occupied with enemies? I have ones in L26 and K28 still. Are those still present?

Assuming my map is reasonably up to date, I’ve got a shaman in N27 and archers at D31, G31, P30 and S30. The thing that collapsed the bridge may also be about (or maybe it fell?)

Can I get a quick recap on the squares still occupied with enemies? I have ones in L26 and K28 still. Are those still present?

No. Those specific foes were the heavy infantry that moved up on the next round. LB felled one and the other fell when the bridge collapsed.

Thanks, I had the same ones LB had marked, just lost track of the ones on the bridge and hadn't marked the shaman yet. So... starting in M22 now...

Runzyl stands quickly and dusts himself off, using his augmented movement to dash into the foliage amongst the other Seren.

Moving at half speed (35') to N29. As part of that half-speed movement, as I am ending my movement in a square that offers concealment, I would like to make a Stealth check. Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 If I cannot complete this action, then I will simply move to N28 at full speed in order to threaten the shaman if he tries to cast something. Either of these movements will provoke an AoO from the Shaman, but I have Mobility and am relatively unconcerned.

So, to climb out of here … Aubrey, are these vines about equivalent to a rope, or a knotted rope, or something else? Are we still in the space we were in, or the space closest to a remaining portion of the bridge to where we were? And how far down? Are we able to Aid Another in the climb?

Lightbringer looks over at Basher, swinging from vines nearby. “Basher, can you help the human climb back up?” He turns to Rolund on his other side. “We will try to help you,” he says. He looks down at the river below, then back at Basher. “It is likely that we will not be damaged beyond repair by the fall, and unlike you we cannot drown.”

If Aubrey allows it, and Rolund wants the help, he can delay whilst Basher and LB Aid him in a climb – or we can all use a move action to climb and a standard action to aid each other.

Per Aubrey, you are each in your original coordinates, but down 35' from where you were on the bridge. Also, Gil flew down to aid -- she's about 5' short of Basher at the moment.

"Lightbringer, I think Basher can carry one of you if I enchant him to fly as I am. Or should I put the enchantment on you instead?"

Essentially, Basher has the greatest carrying capacity, I presume, because of his size and strength, so I'm thinking he can airlift either of you and return for the other. I haven't done the actual math to see if it would work, but that's Gil's plan at the moment unless you overrule her.

Sorry, I think I missed a few posts there. No sounds good, and Basher is probably the best choice to carry another.

At the sound of her voice, Lightbringer looks up to see Matilda flying down towards them. "Basher is stronger than I," he says. He looks at the charger. "Basher, do you want to fly? With the aid of Matilda's magic."

Edit: Basher's actually more dextrous than me too, so might be better at those Fly checks.

“Just hurry up before the Valenar gets over his head.” Rolund complains entangled in the vines.

Don't forget that WoS is also down there trying to help out.

Hmmm. My hands were full with my sword and shield when I fell. So, did I lose my sword to grab some vines or am I tangled up in them?

Reflex save, DC 15. If you make it, you keep your sword.

Moving at half speed (35') to N29. As part of that half-speed movement, as I am ending my movement in a square that offers concealment, I would like to make a Stealth check.

You can do that.

Climb DC is 15. You are in the same squares you were in when you fell, only 35' down. You climb to the nearest portion of the bridge which is still standing. You can Aid Another.

At the sound of her voice, Lightbringer looks up to see Matilda flying down towards them. "Basher is stronger than I," he says. He looks at the charger. "Basher, do you want to fly? With the aid of Matilda's magic."

"Alright, boss. Er, so how does this flying work?"

WoS has Teleport as a spell-like ability. Can he move down to Rolund, grab his hand and the teleport up to the south end of the bridge? If not, he just dives down, grabs Rolund and flies him to the north shore (I think the armoured Rolund too heavy to airlift back up for WoS).

In the creature description is says "Teleport at will, as spell". However, that seems way too powerful to me for a creature of this CR, and potentially game-breaking. So I'm going to rule that his teleportation works like other outsiders' teleportation abilities - self plus 50lbs (or maybe a little more, since his gear is heavy). So he can teleport himself only.

In terms of flying, I think you can only fly with a light load (not sure how this works for WoS as he is wearing full plate) but with a STR of 16 I'm fairly sure he isn't strong enough to carry Rolund anywhere. However, he can use Fly checks to Aid Another in climbing. He effectively grants an automatic +2 to the person he is helping.

Also, do we have a position for WoS?

Rolund.

Rolund waits for assistance as he has his hands full at the moment hanging on.

Ref save (to keep sword): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Rolund will delay until Basher can fly him up.

Of course, Basher will also delay until it’s Gil turn again so she can cast her fly spell.

Lightbringer

Let’s have Wings-of-Silver fly down to the same altitude Gil is at. Location H18. He probably knows he can’t teleport or fly any of the others out of their predicament but he can use aid another on Basher if he gets in trouble with flying which is what he’ll do.

Lightbringer looks at the vines and doesn’t much like his chances of making such a difficult climb, hampered by his heavy armour plating. He’ll stay put for now, using a move action to stow his longbow.

The two Seren have no trouble finding Runzyl, despite his atempt at concealment. They drop their bows and move to the attack, but cannot get to the elf through the undergrowth.

Where Runzyl is is steep you need a climb check to move through it, which means you lose your DEX AC bonus while fighting there, but you do get a +2 cover bonus to AC. P30 to P29, S30 to M30. One attack each: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14, 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13, 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18, 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9. ALl misses.

The other tribesmen move forward, firing on the fallen party members. Firing at Basher, since he's a nice big target. D31 to C27, G31 to F27. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5, 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9. One hit, 5 damage.

Rod.

I've updated my map, but I can't find Wings of Silver's current position - any ideas anyone?

H18.

P30 to P29, S30 to M30.

I'm going to assume you meant O29 instead of P29, unless he has a reach weapon, he can't hit me from there.

Did Jalana and I hit the witchdoctor? Does he have the same kind of camo bodypaint as the warriors?

He does, and she didn't.

Bow on c27 and f27 if I drop c27.
