Aubrey's Eberron campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

"You have had your lessons. It is too late for remediation."

The light in the room dims, the music stops and the guests at the gathering stop talking and laughing and instead turn to stare silently at the adventurers.

"Kill them," grunts the lich.

The faces of the partygoers melt as their flesh withers, cracks and falls away. They reach out with skeletal hands.

Roll initiative. Map to follow.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 initiative

Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24.

Sorry for being lame and slow, I'll get to this.

It's all good.

No concerns here.

You thought I didn't love you anymore...

Map.

A fairly simple room, albeit filled to the gills with creatures that want to kill you. The darker grey is the floor of the main chamber, the lighter grey is the gallery where the musicians are (there is no obvious way up to the gallery other than climbing or flying). G is Gath, P is Partygoer and M is musician. You are near the entrance to the south, somewhere in the gap between P20, P21 and P26. Please place yourselves.

Access blocked.

Try it now.

I like M 19.

Whoa - that's a lot of bodies. I'll take O22.

K20

Runzyl is in N21. Ezreal should be in the way back - N24.

"Here we go again," Gelb complains and unleashes his wand at Gath.

L22

"It's all a test. What's the correct response?"

K23

"You have failed the test. The correct response is to die."

Partygoers 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Musicians 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Gath 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"You know, pretend-Gath, you rally are the worst, most annoying teacher ever. Killing you will be an unique pleasure."

Hey, I take that personally.

Gath raises his head and stares at Ezreal.

Ez, Will save DC 29. If he fails:

Gelb.

Will save Ezreal 14+10+6(action point)=30. A narrow escape - good thing Ithers doesn't burn through his action points the way I do....

Gelb.

ZIIIPPP!!! And Gelb's wand launches missiles at Gath.

Standard: activate wand of magic missiles (9th) at Gath.
Damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 1) + 5 = 15.

Janosz

The force missiles hammer into Gath's body, pushing him back into his seat.

Janosz.

No move. All attacks go on pseudo-Gath using Manyshot, Rapid Shot and Clustered Shots.
Attack 1: 10+19=AC 29, damage 2d8+6=16 + 10 fire + 3 electricity.
Attack 2: 19!+19=AC 38, confirm roll 12+19=AC 31, damage 1d8+3=10x3=30 + 5 fire + 2 electricity.
Attack 3: 13+14=AC 27, damage 1d8+3=10 + 5 fire + 1 electricity.
Attack 4: 11+9=AC 20, damage 1d8+3=4 + 2 fire + 5 electricity.

"AAAAAAAAhhhhhh!" With a savage warcry, Runzyl charges the lich.

Charge to M6. Attack roll 11+19+2(charge)+2(gauntlets of earth)=AC 33, damage 1d6+9+2(gauntlets of earth)=16.

Party people.

Janosz and Runzyl press the attack, but their weapons meet little resistance. Gath stands and speads his arms wide, and he lifts a few inches above the floor. "You do not understand what it is that you face." His form shifts, and the hulking armoured figure is replaces by a skeletal form in a black robe. In one bony hand it clutches a scythe. "You face Death itself!"

All of those attacks - roll for the 50% miss chance against incorporeal foes (though Falla Caesenri may be Ghost Touch these days).

The mob of unliving partgoers move in.

P1 attempts to grapple Runzyl, while the others around Runzyl use Aid Another. P20 attempts to grapple Nevharath, while P14, P18 and P19 use Aid Another. P25 attempts to grapple Gil, Aided by P17. P21 attempts to grapple Rod, Aided by P22, P23 and P24. P26 attempts to grapple Janosz, Aided by P27, P28, P29 and P30.

Phew, I hope you kill these guys soon, that was quite involved.

Ezreal.

Map updated.

the grapples plus the 3 aids (especially since two of them failed) falls short of Nevharath's CMD, and I SMELL SOME SWEEPING STRIKES COMIN RIGHT UP!!

No move. All attacks go on pseudo-Gath using Manyshot, Rapid Shot and Clustered Shots.

Attack 1: 10+19=AC 29, damage 2d8+6=16 + 10 fire + 3 electricity.
Attack 2: 19!+19=AC 38, confirm roll 12+19=AC 31, damage 1d8+3=10x3=30 + 5 fire + 2 electricity.
Attack 3: 13+14=AC 27, damage 1d8+3=10 + 5 fire + 1 electricity.
Attack 4: 11+9=AC 20, damage 1d8+3=4 + 2 fire + 5 electricity.

Miss chances versus incorporeal foe - 51% and up is a hit.

Grapping: both Janosz and Runzyl are incredibly hard to pin down - my CMD is 32 and Runzyl's is 33 (before he starts raging...). So, we're both ungrappled.

And, yes, Falla Caesenri is Ghost touch.

"Stand back!"

*WHOOOOOSH!!*

It really is too bad Ezreal doesn't have Undeath to death... Instead, he drops his [i]Empowered fireball on the E-F 19-20 intersection, hitting all the undead in the I and J rows. Damage 10d6=38x1.5=57 fire damage, Reflex 21 for half damage.

The band.

My CMD is 20....I reckon I'm not grappled.

Whew - I had no faith in my CMD, but it was enough.

Janosz and Runzyl press the attack, but their weapons meet little resistance. Gath stands and speads his arms wide, and he lifts a few inches above the floor. "You do not understand what it is that you face." His form shifts, and the hulking armoured figure is replaces by a skeletal form in a black robe. In one bony hand it clutches a scythe. "You face Death itself!"

"Bullshit. Death, like weather or the seasons, is just a fact of existence. You, on the other hand, whine, wheedle and justify. Real death doesn't give two shits about 'lessons' or 'insights' - it just is. So, non-Gath, non-Death - who are you?"

The music turns into agonised wails as the musicians writhe, their bodies becoming whisps that drift from the balcony and head hungrily for the living.

M1, M2 and M3 attack Gelb, M4 and M5 attack Janosz, M6 attacks Ez.
M1 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 7 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)
M2 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 6 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)
M3 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 5 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)
M4 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 4 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)
M5 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 5 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)
M6 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 v touch AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 1 plus level drain (2 levels, DC 16)

Rod.

Map updated.

move to L20
All of them but p27, p28, and p30 take

5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 2, 6) = 19 from my channeling.

Gelb has trouble standing from twin attacks.

Two attackers succeed.

Gelb has 4 negative levels and combined with the symbol of pain has a -8 to attack rolls, skill checks and ability checks. He has a -4 to combat maneuver checks, CMD and saving throws.

One attack hit me. Fort save 7+12=19, so no level drain. Ezreal got hit as well: Fort save 10+8=18, so he's undrained as well.

Gelb - after our tea party and all that, I'd guess the symbol's effects have passed?

I always thought we had to wait 24 hours before attempting a save on negative levels to remove them.

Aubrey house rule - a good one. Also, in addition to the immediate save you get another one at the 24 hour mark.

paying attention, just awaiting my turn after Gil

What Janosz said.

No time, but Gil will be making a concentration check to cast haste defensively. Nev is welcome to roll it to keep things moving.

Becoming larger. Not sure how it'll work, since there are creatures in the way, but i think the M-series enemies are incorporeal anyway. the spells/powers/combat page provided no enlightenment regarding changing size with enemies around, only restrictions on trying to do so in an actual enclosed space.

Free action: activate chains class abilities +2 STR +2 CON +2 AC
Swift action spend 7 PP to manifest expansion +2 STR -2 DEX -1 AC
concentration check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 vs DC 17 for expansion

Standard: expend psionic focus for 3 attacks with sweep on each (and using Martial Power ability to manifest Inertial Armor on himself as part of the standard action melee attack)
Move: regain psionic focus

atk1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 (vs AC of M1 & M2)
dmg: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (5, 3) + 22 = 30

atk2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 (vs AC of P17 & P25)
dmg: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (7, 5) + 22 = 34

atk2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 (vs AC of P18 & P19)
dmg: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (8, 1) + 22 = 31

crit confirm on atk1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 (vs AC of M1 & M2)
dmg: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (6, 6) + 22 = 34

Nevharath doubles in size, swinging his heavy flail in wide arcs.

not sure, but if i am one of the target's for Gil's haste spell, woo hoo! i wouldn't get an extra attack this turn, since i didnt do a full attack, but next turn...

Aforementioned Concentration check, DC 21: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

It will affect everyone but Runzyl because he is out of range.

She will also 5-foot step (to K22) to reduce flanking opportunities on herself and Gelb and maybe set one up with Nev if any foes are foolish enough to step in.

Hello,

I'm kinda having a bunch of craziness atm; might be back on in the next few days. Nothing too bad.

Yeah; I'm....gonna be real busy this weekend.

Lotta work to do.
