Aubrey's Eberron campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

Rolling the crit threat
1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 to confirm, extra damage 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (5, 5) + 20 = 30

In a display of brutal prowess, Lightbringer knocks the warforged warrior back on its heels.

Ez, Gil, Faith, Kaz.

Map updated.

Ezreal glides above the blighted landscape and calls down another fiery explosion on the remaining warforged and their leader. As the flames dissipate the warmage is revealed for the first time as he launches into another spell.

Empowered Fireball (via Eberron shard) vs W4, W5, Dragon and Darkheart: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 5, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2) = 29 *1,5 = 43
CL check vs SR, GR Spell Pen: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 4 = 25
[dice=Reflex DC 21 for half[/dice]
Fly to AD9. Remain at 15' elevation.
Greater Invisibility ends now.

Ez, does the shadow demon act on your initiative?

Taking advantage of a lull in the melee about Darkheart and his draconic steed, Gil casts a spell targeting the enemy leader.

Feeblemind. Will DC 22

To overcome Spell Resistance, if necessary: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 2 = 29 (Caster level, Spell Penetration feat)

After casting, she moves to N5 to avoid being targeted by the sound of her spellcasting.

I dont know how it is supposed to go, but I acted for the possessed forged on his own init. I'll stick with that since I started that way but should probably have looked that up in advance.

Faith moves up to get a better shot at Darkheart.

Move: move to Q18.
Standard: attack against Darkheart.

Attack (divine favor): 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 = 23. Damage 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9.

Kaz, W5, Hal, etc.
Reminder: Kaz’s righteous might expires after his turn.

W4 and W5 are killed by Ez's fireball even if they save.

Saves
Darkheart Reflex 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Darkheart Will 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Dragon Reflex 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Two warforged drop as Ezreal's spell erupts on the battlefield but somehow Darkheart and the dragon-construct are still standing. But as Gil's spell takes effect Darkheart gives a mindless howl of rage. An arrow thuds into his chestplate but he hardly seems to notice.

Kaz. Then a really pissed-off DH and his mount.

Map updated.

LB's second attack is a crit. Also, Rod's righteous might has expired this turn so he's no longer size Large.

Thanks on both accounts, wasn't paying attention. And thanks for rolling the crit Aubrey - better rolling than I often get for my characters!

Nice work Ez and Gil! Now, to survive their retaliation ...

Kazadar casts Fire Shield on himself.

Haladon comes to consciousness from Rodergo's healing. He immediately begins to heal his injuries and takes stock of his possessions.

Swift action: lay on hands
Move or standard action: recover sword.
Remain prone.

Lay on Hands: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 1, 5, 6) = 22

Kazadar casts Fire Shield on himself.

Don't forget your righteous might expired. You'll have to decide where your coordinates are on the map now that you're no longer large size.

spot closest to enemy is fine

The warforged drake slides forward, its head darting forwards to bite at Lightbringer.

Dragon attacks LB
Bite 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (15) + 35 = 50, damage 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 6) + 12 = 28

I'm slightly concerned I might have overdone this encounter...

Map updated.

Warforged 773, Janosz, the possessed W6, LB and Rod.

Energized by his wild surge, Warforged 773 moves up to stand shoulder to shoulder with his fellow warforged, Faith, and unleashes a bolt of electricity at the dragon.

Move action: move to R18.
Standard action: manifest augmented energy push (electricity) coupled with wild surge vs. dragon.
Attack (ray, PP8 plus wild surge): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23 ranged touch attack. Damage: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 2, 3, 2) + 1 = 19 electricity.
Psychic Enervation: 1d100 ⇒ 40. No psychic enervation.
ML vs SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27.
Ref DC 15+2 (electricity) +4 (augmented) = 21 for half damage.

Warforged 773 is down to 47 power points.
Faith benefits from the surging aura.

Start of Round 4.
After Gil’s turn, extended haste expires.

Going through the opening in the glass palisade, Janosz joins the warforged before letting off an arrow at the dragon.

Move action: move to P18.
Standard action: attack vs dragon.

Attack (Deadly Aim, bless, haste): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 1 + 1 = 29. Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 plus 1d6 ⇒ 1 fire and 1d6 ⇒ 3 electricity. Total = 17 plus 1 fire and 3 electricity.

W6, Lightbringer, Rodergo, etc.

The warforged sniper throws his crossbow to the ground and extends one hand toward one of the fallen warforged and hurls it at Darkheart before moving around to circle the dragon.

Telekinesis (Violent Thrust) vs Darkheart: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 4 = 24
Telekinesis (Violent Thrust): 10d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6) = 31
I'm assuming one of the knocked out warforged nearby is around 250 lbs. If they are lighter drop a d6 for each 25# less. The movement will provoke from the dragon.

Dragon's reflex save v Warforged 773's Energy Push 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

The dragon avoids the full blast of Warforged 773's energy attack, but it is still sparking and twitching as it recovers. Janosz's arrow pings from its armour without causing any damage.

Suddenly one of the fallen warforged is flung through the air by an invisible hand, slamming into Darkheart where he rages in the dragon's saddle. There is a loud crack as the force of the blow crushes his head and tears it free, leaving it dangling by a few fibrous cables from the stump of his neck. Darkheart falls backwards and slides down the flank of the dragon with a metallic screech to lie in a twisted heap by its feet.

Darkheart down.

As the possessed warforged circles, the dragon swats at it with a claw.

AoO on W6
1d20 + 35 ⇒ (12) + 35 = 47 to hit, 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5) + 12 = 21

LB, Rod.

Map updated.

Lightbringer glances down at Darkheart’s fallen form, his own armoured carapace crushed and rent. Offering a silent prayer to the Silver Flame, he hefts his sword and charges at the dragon.

Swift action, cast Grace – movement avoids Attacks of Opportunity.
Full round action: Charge to V9 and attack, using power attack, furious focus.
Charge attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40 damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (3, 1) + 20 = 24 Attack counts as magic, good and silver.
LB earlier chose Darkheart as his Smite Evil target. I am assuming the dragon is not somehow part of Darkheart, but if it is and smite evil applies, add +4 to hit, +13 to damage and the attack overcomes DR.

EDIT: Crit confirm roll: Charge attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37 damage: 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (2, 5) + 20 = 27

Rod once again calls on the power of the Silver Flame to channel positive energy.

The healing burst should reach all allies except Gil and Ez. He excludes the dragon (and Darkheart). Healing: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 6, 4, 3) = 25

LB doesn't need to cast Grace, as W6 has already absorbed the AoO (I assumed that was why W6 was sent dancing round the dragon). Instead, he can use another Smite Evil to target the dragon, if he prefers.

i am loving these channels

LB doesn't need to cast Grace, as W6 has already absorbed the AoO (I assumed that was why W6 was sent dancing round the dragon). Instead, he can use another Smite Evil to target the dragon, if he prefers.

Right - he'll do that then. Total damage with smite and crit should be 77 in that case.

Lightbringer collides with the dragon. His sword, powered by righteousness, hammers into the creature's metallic body, crumpling the plates that make up its integument.

Ez.

Ezreal slowly glides in while raining fire down on the dragon.

Fly to AB8
Ranged Touch, PB: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 Empowered Scorching Ray, PB: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 4) + 1 = 19 =28
Ranged Touch, PB: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23 Empowered Scorching Ray, PB: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 6) + 1 = 14 =21
Ranged Touch, PB: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27 Empowered Scorching Ray, PB: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 4) + 1 = 16 =24

I did not expect Darkheart to go down at all.
Are there any invisible warforged still skulking about?

Ezreal leaves a few scorch marks but the dragon seems largely resistant to hit fiery ministrations.

I basically forgot about the other invisible warforged, but I reckon there were enough area effect spells going off to hit him where he stood behind the dragon to polish him off. So let's assume it's only the dragon left. I think that's probably enough.

Gil, Faith, Kaz, Hal.

Map updated.

Thanks for tracking spell expirations, Haladon. After Gil's turn, haste effect ends.

Gil attempts to repeat her success with DarkHeart on his mech-draco-mount.

Feeblemind on the dragon, DC 22, +4 if he's an arcane caster

vs. Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18 Caster level check, spell penetration feat

Good grief. Right now, if it requires a dice roll, I can almost plan on a 4 or less.

on Kaz's turn

swift action to use War domain power to give himself dodge, upping his AC to 35, then moving up to the dragon to Vital Strike with his morningstar.

atk: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
damage: 2d8 + 28 ⇒ (5, 7) + 28 = 40

edit" looks like i got on that 4 train as well. action point reroll?

Faith changes target and fires at the dragon.

Move: none.
Full round action: attack dragon.

Attack#1 (divine favor, surging aura): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 + 3 = 28. Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5.
Attack#2 (divine favor, surging aura): 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 3 = 21. Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9.

Kaz, Hal, Dragon, etc.

Seeing his friends challenging the dragon, Haladon stands up and closes with it while continuing with his healing.

Swift action: heal with lay on hands.
Move action: stand up from prone.
Standard action: move to T7.

Lay on Hands: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5) = 28.

Dragon, Warforged 773, end of round 4.

Does Faith want to declare the dragon her Smite Evil target as a swift action?

I had forgotten about that. Yes, Faith will choose the dragon as her Smite Evil target.

Therefore, her attacks go up by 2. Hitting at 30 and 23, respectively. If her first attack is successful, damage is +14 to a total of 19. Unless it's not really dragon but a construct. Then her damage is +7 and total is 12. Her second attack if successful, damage is +7 to a total of 16.

DR is bypassed and Faith's AC goes up by 2 to AC 23 against the dragon's attacks.

edit" looks like i got on that 4 train as well. action point reroll?

Did you use an action point or do you want to use an action point? You can roll an AP if you like if you haven't already, but I don't think you get a reroll if you already have.

i didnt use one, but i would like to.

AP take better: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

turns that 28 to hit into a 31.

The adventurers close in on the warforged dragon. Kazadar's morningstar misses any vital components and Faith's arrows bounce from the creature's armour, while it simply ignores Gil's spell. But the multiple targets seem to confuse it and it lashes out in all directions.

5' shift and then full attack. Bite on LB, 2 claws on Kaz, tail slap on W6, 2 wings on Hal.
Bite 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (14) + 35 = 49, damage 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3) + 12 = 26
Claw 1 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (2) + 35 = 37, damage 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (2, 3) + 12 = 17
Claw 2 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (16) + 35 = 51, damage 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (2, 8) + 12 = 22
Tail slap 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 35, damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17
Wing 1 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50, damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 = 14
Wing 2 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (17) + 30 = 47, damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13

EDIT: potential crit on Wing 1
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (8) + 30 = 38 to confirm, damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Warforged 772, Janosz, W6.

Map updated.

Warforged 773 remains at his location and continues to unleash another bolt of electricity at the dragon.

Move action: none.
Standard action: manifest augmented energy push (electricity) coupled with wild surge vs. dragon.

Attack (ray, PP8 plus wild surge): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13 ranged touch attack. Damage: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 5, 4, 4) + 1 = 24 electricity.
Psychic enervation: 1d100 ⇒ 46. No psychic enervation.
ML vs SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28.
Ref DC 15+2 (electricity) +4 (augmented) = 21 for half damage.

Warforged 773 is down to 39 power points.
Faith and Janosz benefit from surging aura.

Start of Round 5.

Wow, another 4!

Energized by Warforged 773, Janosz unleashes a hail of arrows at the dragon.

Move action: none.
Full round action: ranged attack vs. dragon.

Attack #1 (Manyshot, Deadly Aim, bless, surging aura): 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 1 + 3 = 32. Damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (6, 4) + 22 = 32 plus 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 fire and 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 electricity. Total = 32 plus 9 fire and 7 electricity.
Attack #2 (Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, bless, surging aura): 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 1 + 3 = 36. Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 plus 1d6 ⇒ 4 fire and 1d6 ⇒ 5 electricity. Total = 16 plus 4 fire and 5 electricity.
Attack #3 (Deadly Aim, bless, surging aura): 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 + 3 = 18. Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 plus 1d6 ⇒ 1 fire and 1d6 ⇒ 6 electricity. Total = 14 plus 1 fire and 6 electricity.
Attack #4 (Deadly Aim, bless, surging aura): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 3 = 23. Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 fire and 1d6 ⇒ 6 electricity. Total = 15 plus 2 fire and 6 electricity.

W6, Lightbringer, Rodergo
 

Haladon is buffeted by wing strikes but remains standing.

Hal takes 38 damage.

The possessed warforged reaches one hand out at Darkheart's fallen form, lifts it off the ground like a rag doll and sends it hurtling at the dragon.

Spell like ability provokes AoO.
Telekinesis: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 + the dex bonus of the warforged.
So likely 20+ since he is a ranged character but very unlikely to hit a mechanical dragon's AC.
It does do Damage to Darkheart: 1d6 ⇒ 4 just to add insult to injury if he is currently inactive but not dead.

1 round remaining for shadow demon.
LB and Rod are up.

AoO from the dragon
1d20 + 35 ⇒ (13) + 35 = 48 to hit, damage 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 1) + 12 = 24

The dragons jaws close on the possessed warforged and mangle it.

W6 down, although I don't think that necessarily prevents the shadow demon from carrying out its action as it is mental. Please roll damage - Darkheart weighs the same as the other warforged you chucked about.

Telekinesis Violent Thrust: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 6, 3) = 34

The shadow demon flings Darkheart's corpse at the dragon, leaving a deep dent.

LB, Rod, Ez, Gill, Faith, Kaz, Hal.

LB and Rod.

Someone please take the turns for LB and Rod.

The dragon’s jaws close in on the warforged but Lightbringer swiftly heals some of the damage and continues his furious assault upon the dragon.

Swift action: lay on hands.
Move action: none.
Full round action: full attack against dragon.

LB takes 26 damage mitigated by his adamantium body plating for a total of 24 damage.
Lay on Hands: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 4) = 15 healing.

Attack #1 (bless, smite evil, Power Attack, Furious Focus): 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 1 + 3 = 30. Damage (bull’s strength, weapon of awe, smite evil, Power Attack): 2d6 + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 = 38.
Attack #2 (bless, smite evil, Power Attack): 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 + 3 - 4 = 26. Damage (bull’s strength, weapon of awe, smite evil, Power Attack): 2d6 + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 ⇒ (6, 4) + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 = 44.
Attack #3 (bless, smite evil, Power Attack): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 + 3 - 4 = 23. Damage (bull’s strength, weapon of awe, smite evil, Power Attack): 2d6 + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 + 2 + 13 + 12 = 39.
 

Rodergo continues healing his companions from the dragon’s attacks.

Move action: none.
Standard action: channel positive energy.

Channel positive energy (excluding dragon): 6d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2) = 14 healing to all allies except Gil and Ez.

Ez, Gil, Faith, etc.

On her turn, unless Ez singlehandedly finishes off the dragon:

Gil casts haste again, centered to catch Ez and the figures immediately around the dragon. She is unable to affect Rod, unfortunately.

Lightbringer hammers furiously on the dragon but fails to inflict any damage. Gil casts her spell to imbue the attackers with speed and accuracy.

Assume Ez delays for Gil. So it's Ez, Faith, Kaz, Hal.

Someone please take Ez's turn.

Ezreal unleashes bolts of force at the dragon before relocating.

Standard action: cast magic missile at dragon.
Move action: move to Y2 avoiding getting near the dragon while maintaining 15’ elevation.

Magic missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2, 3) + 5 = 19.
CL check vs SR (Greater Spell Penetration): 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 4 = 37.
