Ashrae down.

Galadaes: 24
Runzyl: 23+, Good Devotion, Haste, Whirling Frenzy, Bardic Music
Korlar: 23
Gil: 21+, See invisible, Arcane Sight, Good Devotion, Bardic Music
Jalana: 21, Good Devotion, Haste, Bardic Music, (27 hp)
Rolund: 20, Mage armour, Light (on shield), Good Devotion, Haste, Bardic Music
Janosz: 19 , Good Devotion, Haste, Bardic Music, prone
Ezreal: 18, See invisible, Mage Armor, Empowered False Life, Good Devotion, Bardic Music
Clerics: 14-
Lightbringer: 5, Bull's strength, Mage armour, Good Devotion, Haste, Bardic Music
Rodergo: 4, Good Devotion, Bardic Music, prone
Basher: 3, Protection from evil, Good Devotion, Haste, Rage, Bardic Music

Lightbringer turns his head a few degrees and nods in almost imperceptible thanks at Ezreal’s repair spell, not taking his attention from the shades in front of him.

This is round 5 Ithuriel.

Then undead clerics again cry out to the Blood That Lives as they cast fell enchantments upon their enemies.

Cleric 1 will cast Dispel Magic on Runzyl, Cleric 2 will Channel healing for Galadaes and Cleric 3 with cast Hold Person on Runzyl (Will save DC 15).

Dispel check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21. Healing amount = 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 6) = 15 x 1.5 = 22.

Looks like Keen Edge gone.

LB.

Will save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

As the ethereal cleric in front of him begins to cast his spell, Lightbringer takes advantage of the distraction and strikes at him.

AoO at Cleric 1. Power attack etc. 16 + 15 = 31. Damage: 8 + 20 = 28 / 2 = 14.
He’ll need to make a concentration check or lose the Dispel.

The paladin follows up the attack with a flurry of hastened blows with his magical blade.

Attack # 1: 14 + 15 = 29. Damage: 8 + 20 = 28 / 2 = 14
Attack # 2: 19 + 15 = 34. Damage: 10 + 20 = 30 / 2 = 15
Crit Confirm: 17 + 15 = 32. Damage: 6 + 20 = 26 / 2 = 13
Attack # 3: 14 + 10 = 24. Damage: 4 + 20 = 24 / 2 = 12

If cleric 1 is taken down at some point before the final attack, LB takes a 5 ft step forward to I24, activates his smite evil ability and uses his remaining attacks on Cleric 3. Since he’s smiting, any attacks will be at +4 to hit, +12 to damage (or +6 once halved), and he gets a +4 deflection bonus to AC against his smite target.

OK, forgot to mark LB's position properly. The cleric would have tried a Concentration check if he was there. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 versus DC 21. OK, failed that, so Runzyl still has his Keen Edge going.

Fair enough.

Lightbringer chops through the ectoplasmic foe before him, his magical sword slicing through the unresisting medium. Some metaphysical property of his blade affects the incorporeal being, driving its soul onward to oblivion. It expires and disappears in a puff of frigid fog.

Cleric 1 down.

Rod, then Basher.

Cleric 1 down.

With his foe down, Lightbringer will take that 5 foot step forward, to threaten cleric 3. He'll also use a swift action to lay on hands (self), repairing 13 points of damage.

I'll assume that's I24.

Free action. Rod pops up his sight; 4 rounds and counting on the ability to see and affect the aethereal.
Moving to h21, he channels healing energy to Runzyl, Lightbringer, Ezreal, Rolund(sorry; I did try), Basher, Janosz, and Gil.
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 4) = 15

"Victory be with thee, good Runzyl!!!"

“Bash!”

Full Round Action: Charge to H-I/22-23. Attack Cleric 2 (J23).
Attack (haste, Power Attack, inspire courage +2, charge, amulet +1): 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 37. Damage (Strength, Power Attack, inspire courage +2, amulet +1, Powerful Charge): 1d8 + 10 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 + 2 + 1 + (3, 3) = 28/2.

Galadaes

Full attack on Runzyl:
RH 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36, damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 plus 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 cold, crit confirm 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23, extra damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
RH 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24, damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 plus 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 cold
LH 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24, damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 plus 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 cold
LH 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 plus 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 cold

Pretty sure the last one misses and the first one hits but doesn't crit. I think the middle two miss (just) as Runzyl's AC is 25 due to Haste.

Runzyl.

Following a maddening dance of dodges, parries, and glancing blows, the Valenar goes on the offensive and delivers his own furious assault on the shade.

Full attack vs. Galadaes:
#H:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 and 1d6 ⇒ 5 fire damage.
#WF:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 and 1d6 ⇒ 2 fire damage.
#1:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 and 1d6 ⇒ 4 fire damage.
#2:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 and 1d6 ⇒ 6 fire damage.
#3(OH):1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 damage.
#4(OH):1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 to hit, dealing 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage.

Crit confirm on #1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33 to hit, dealing an additional 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 damage if successful.
Crit confirm on #4(OH): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 to hit, dealing an additional 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 damage if successful.

Spending an action point on attack #H. 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8. That makes it 30 to hit and 18 + 5 damage.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwYEAH!!!

IRL waves lighter in the air

Go Runzyl!
Need any help there?

I'll assume that's I24.

Sorry, yes, should have clarified. I24 to threaten cleric 3.

Go Runzyl!

Need any help there?

I have no idea how many HP he has, but I have about 42 left. Some healing is about the best help I could hope for right now. :D

You got the 15 I just gave you, right? I'm gonna keep popping 4d6's, if I can't run right up to you and hit you with a 4d8+7.

Yes, I got that, then I got hit for 26. :)

reminds me of my bank account.

Korlar attacks LB:
Attack 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29, damage 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18
Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21, damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Attack 3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Gil, Jalana, Rolund, Janosz, Ez.

Korlar attacks LB:

Attack 1: 1d20+13, damage 2d8+6
Attack 2: 1d20+13, damage 1d8+3
Attack 3: 1d20+8, damage 1d8+3

Only the first hit. I assume he’s using multi-shot? So that means I get to apply DR twice to that damage …

Gil trots forward to H24 and lays her hand on Lightbringer's back as she reads another spell from a scroll.

UMD DC 22 to cast spell: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Repair Moderate Damage 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 = 12

With her hasted speed, Jalana can reach Korlar, but I'm confused as to which weapon she has in hand. I'll let one of her regular handlers take it from here.

Thanks!

I was thinking it might be a good idea for Jalana to go and cast Heroism on Runzyl – it provides a morale bonus to hit and damage, so it will stack with the competence bonus granted by inspire courage. She probably won’t be able to get to him and cast this round though.
She’s not high on hit points, so I don’t know if we want her in melee with the archer.

She could get a long ways with 60' movement, but I can't get her adjacent to our whirling dervish in a single movement, even taking some risks. She could easily be in position for next round.

Which reminds me, this is round six, yes? Gil is CL 7, so her haste should last another round after this, I believe. If not, let me know -- that would decide my action.

“Bash!”

Full Round Action: Charge to H-I/22-23. Attack Cleric 2 (J23).
Attack (haste, Power Attack, inspire courage +2, charge, amulet +1): 1d20+14+1-2+2+2+1=. Damage (Strength, Power Attack, inspire courage +2, amulet +1, Powerful Charge): 1d8+10+4+2+1+2d6=/2.

I have cleric 2 in J19 and cleric 3 in J25 – none in J22. Am I wrong? We should clarify which cleric Basher hit and where he is, it might make a difference this round.

This is Round 6.

You’re right. The confusion arose in my map when in an earlier post Aubrey had cleric 1 and 3 use hold person and doom on Rolund as well as have cleric 3 move and try to dispel Runzyl’s buffs.

Basher should have charged at cleric 3 and place his position in H-I/25-26.

If we do so, there’s an open space where Basher was (H-I/22-23) which will allow Jalana to reach Runzyl, at least to M21. She can then use heroism on Runzyl.

Jalana
Jalana hustles to join her lover where she weaves her magic into her oratory to inspire Runzyl to greater acts of heroism.

Free Action: inspire courage +2.
Move Action: move to M21.
Standard Action: cast heroism on Runzyl. +2 morale on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks.

Rolund
Rolund joins Jalana in her rush but deviates halfway to challenge another shade.

Move Action: move to J20.
Standard Action: Attack Cleric 2 (J19).
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21. Damage: 1d8 + 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + (2, 1) + 6 = 10.

No move. I'm using Manyshot and Rapid Shot on Ashrae; if shew goes down, I switch to Korlar. However, he's too far away from PBS, so that bonus doesn't apply on him.

Attack 1 (w/Manyshot): 11+15+1(Haste)+2(bard)+1(PBS)=AC 30, damage 12+6+2(PBS)=20/2=10.
Attack 2: 9+15+1+2+1=28, damage 5+3+1=9/2=4.
Attack 3:12+10+1+2+1=AC 26, damage 7+3+1=11/2=5.
Attack 4 (from Haste): 10+15+1+2+1=AC 29, damage 6+3+1=10/2=5.

With that, I'm off to New Orleans for a week and a half. Ezreal's next.

Janosz 5' step to c21

Janosz will use Manyshot and Rapid shot on Rolund's foe at J19.
Atack1:(w/Manyshot): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27 damage 2d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7, 6) + 3 + 2 = 18/2=9
Attack2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38 damage 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8/2=4
att 2 confirm crit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 damage1d8 ⇒ 8/2=4
Attack3: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 damage1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9/2=4
Attack4: (from haste): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 damage1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6/2=3

Woah. Bodacious rolling there. Only one miss I do believe.

Woah. Bodacious rolling there. Only one miss I do believe.

Looks about right, except Janosz should get an extra +2 on each of those damage rolls for Bardic Music, he forgot them in the post you referenced.

Got it now.....

The morale bonus from heroism doesn't stack with Inspire Courage, correct? So I'm not gaining any bonus to attack, but I still get the saves and skills bonus?

Correct.

Correct.

At the risk of being the cock who contradicts the GM’s rulings, that’s actually incorrect. This is one of those sneaky little changes between 3.5 and PF – Inspire Courage now grants a competence bonus to hit and damage (still grants a morale bonus to saves vs fear etc), so it stacks with heroism (and bless etc), which still grant morale bonuses.

If the bonus to hit and damage didn’t stack with bardic music, I don’t know whether that would have been worth it – might have been better for Jalana to hit Runzyl with a CMW instead.

You total cock.

Oh, wow... +4 to hit! Woo-hoo!

Oh, for Pete's sake -- I just got done changing my map to fit Rolund's confused view of the battle. ;-)

MM vs Basher's cleric 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 4) + 4 = 15

Oh, wow... +4 to hit! Woo-hoo!

And damage!

MM vs Basher's cleric 4d4 + 4

So that is cleric 3 - and it's now the clerics' turn.

Sorry for the delay - work a bit heavy.

Between them, Rolund and Janosz eliminate another of the undead clerics, and it turns into a puff of rapidly dissipating corpse dust. The other clings tenuously to unlife despite attacks from Basher and Ezreal. It drifts backwards and erupts with negative energy, roils of vile blood-red light twisting away venomously.

Cleric 2 down. Cleric 3 steps back 5' to K25 and lets rip with another healing channel: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) = 7 x 1.5 = 10.

LB, then Rod, then Basher.

Lightbringer takes a 5 ft step forward to J24 and unleashes full attack on the cleric (power attack etc as last round).
Attack # 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18. Damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (6, 2) + 20 = 28 /2 = 14
Attack # 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28. Damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (6, 2) + 20 = 28 /2 = 14
Attack # 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21. Damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (6, 6) + 20 = 32 /2 = 17

Rod hustles to n21, barreling through Jalana's personal space.
"Sorry, good lady!"

Casting cure critical wounds on Runzyl.
4d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 1) + 7 = 16

"F!~@!!!"
