Aubrey's PF Dark Sun (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

Yay! Got 24 hp now! I'm standing up for more carnage.

Th'Kal howls in rage and tries to split the giant in two... knowing that each moment wasted is a moment that his clutchmate continues to bleed out.

Standard Action: Howling Strike
Howling Strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 vs AC.
If it hits, 1d12 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + (3) + 5 = 12

In the off chance that hit drops the giant, I'm going to Free Action go after the zombie on Safier.

With a sharp crack, a fissure opens up along the torso of the ice giant. One of its arms and then its head fall heavily to the ground and smash. Then the rest of its body collapses into a pile of dirty ice.

Ice Giant down, Th'Kal may have his free action.

Map updated.

"Rest. In. Pieces."

Safier goes down from the zombies attack, two wounded to continue fighting.

At -6 at present, with 5 ongoing

Initiative
Safier 20+ (unconscious, prone)
Gart 20-
Jareen 18
Ice Giant Thing 14++
Zombies 14+ (Z1 prone)
Arakan 14 (unconscious, prone)
Furio 14-
Th'Kal 9

OK, so that's death saving throws from Arakan and Safier, and it's Gart's turn.

Save vs. Death: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Uh-oh! That's 1 failed.

Seeing the giant shatter spurs Th'Kal on to additional action as he goes charging off after the last target while ice shards still fall to the ground...

Free Action: Swift Charge to M12 and attack the zombie.
(With a speed of 7 he can just make it to M12 even counting the rough terrain at L17... He going around the pillar over Arakan's body.)
Howling Strike: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16 vs AC
If it hits, Damage: 1d12 + 1d6 + 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (5) + (4) + 5 + 2 = 20

Have either Safier or Arakan used their Second Winds this encounter?
To trigger a person's second wind for them is a DC 10 Heal Check (you need to be adjacent to the body).
Otherwise, you need a DC 15 Heal Check to stabilize them (you still need to be adjacent).
I only have +1 to my check, but it's worked before...

I have not.

Th'Kal still needs to make an Acrobatics check to complete the charge.

I made my first Death save. I don't think I need to roll any more of them.

The rule says you have to make a save at the end of each round you are dying. You are still dying, so you need to roll again. You need to fail three times and die (or roll a 20, or be revived in some way) to stop.

Still waiting for Th'Kal's Acrobatics check.

Dropping the Ice Giant also gives me 2 temp hp from my class ability -- I feel like I'm always forgetting those, grrrr

Oh and sorry about missing the check - crazy week here - I'd have been okay if you rolled for me... Work has me running around like crazy this week.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Th'Kal skitters across the ice to deliver the coup de grace to the zombie.

End of combat. Assume that you manage to stabilise and revive your unconscious fellows. 200xp each.

Jareen picks up the orb, and wraps it up in his pack for later inspection. "As I was saying, time for a quick exit?" As he speaks though, he moves to Arakan to give him a firm grip on the shoulder.

Perception checks, DC 11:

percep
1d20 ⇒ 18

"Woah. clothes and a backpack."

I'll rummage through the backpack greedily.

We have fallen that will bleed out and die without Heal Checks
DC 10 Heal on Safier will trigger her Second Wind and she'll be fine.
Same for Arakan if he hasn't used his, otherwise it's a DC 15 Check.

<GRRANG!!> Th'Kal lets out a howl of rage at the clutch for not doing what needs to be done first.

My heal sucks, but trying anyways:
Heal Check on Safier: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 to trigger her Second Wind

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Heal check on Safier
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
"I....think she's gonna be okay....." Furio scratches his head.

"Dibs on the backpack."

Botting Gart; he does a heal check.

"move over, baldy. Leave this to the experts!'

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Gart stops the hemorrhaging or whatever.

I know that Safier has 1/3 failed death saves, Arakan is on ?/3 pending his last turn.
Gart has one of them Healed. One more to go...
PS.
I have one healing fruit left over, so if we can't manage a successful heal check on them I can force feed it.

Th'Kal's lower arms rummage through his pack looking for his healing fruit... you can't read concern on his alien face, but his mandibles chatter repeatedly.

After Gart helps one of their comrades, Th'Kal will attempt to assist him with the next.

Heal Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 to Assist Gart on the next roll
EDIT: That's +2 on his next Heal Check

Listen to the DM when he says "Assume that you manage to stabilise and revive your unconscious fellows" - he means it. There's nothing fun or heroic about bleeding out after the combat has finished, and having a series of Heal checks just to prove the point is a bit of a waste - people can take 10 or something now the danger and pressure is past.

In the pack, Furio finds an ivory tube containing parchment covered in writing and a small sack containing a load of ceramic pieces (Furio probably can't count that high, but it is 1,260gp's worth). There is also a very fine piece of shimmering, gauzy cloth that seems to be a face veil, and a dagger, together with two healing fruits.

"That's a tidy bit of jink there.....and some dumb stuff.

Nice knife though."

"I'm glad we survived that, let's get outta here."

The adventurers gather up their loot for later examination and head for the exit. As they go, there is a strange exhalation of cool air that wafts over them, and a sense of peace and purpose. They aren't sure what they have done, but they feel they have put down some sort of evil and made Athas a - slightly - better place. The primal sprits have taken notice.

You have each gained a boon. This is a magical ability that isn't tied to a magic item but basically acts a lot like one. There are two available - you must choose one, and once made that choice is irrevocable. Note what you choose and write it out (cut and paste) on your character sheets so we don't have to refer back here.

Option 1: Warrior of the Frozen Heart

Option 2: Master of the Uttercold

In case I hadn't mentioned it, my computer has been a pain for the last two weeks, and now I'm only able to post from work.

Overdue Death save 1d20 ⇒ 20, see look at that, I wouldn't have needed the help. I spent 1 there, and 2 more during the short rest.

Arakan is eager to get his hands on whatever goodies the bag may hold, but he really just wants to get out of this place.

I will take Master of the Uttercold. Aubrey, are these in the Char Builder at all so I can add them there?

Master of the Uttercold.... My Lightning encounter power just became a lot more interesting once per day!

Warrior of the Frozen Heart, since the other one doesnt affect any of my powers

frozen heart

"Goodbye, cool breeze...."

These aren't in the CharBuild, sorry. It would be nice if they could make that as flexible as the monster programme, but with 5e I doubt they have the incentive now.

Healing. I'll be using four surges to get up to full.

Boon. Option 2, Master of the Uttercold.

Having found no survivors of the caravan, Safier turns to the ones she's traveled with. "It seems that there weren't any survivors of the caravan I was with. May I...travel with you. At least as far as the next town?"

"Yeah; I think you're pretty cool."

"How about we see if we all make it to the surface before we start planning ahead eh?"

The adventurers head out of the frozen sanctum, looking to reach the surface.

By the way, please check your xp totals as you should be getting pretty close to a new level.

Please make a group Dungeoneering check.

dungeoneering 1d20 ⇒ 11 my bonus is +2.

Mine is+3

Am I doin this right?

Jareen's dungeoneering is +2, Safier is +0, Arakan's +5, and Thkal is +1.

Rolled an 11.

No, you all roll skill checks as normal and I just average the result.

Dungeoneering 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6. Just doing my part to contribute to the fail of others.

Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

If it wasn't being averaged, Arakan, I'd trade you dice.

Picking Warrior boon,
Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
And I have us almost 400xp from our next level

dungeoneering dwarf: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

I had missed a couple rewards (just did an xp audit) and have us at 3238/3750. I've got links to all the XP rewards since I joined in my profile at the bottom.

I ran your audit -- big thanks for keeping it in list form, great idea... going to have to steal it :)

I currently have us at 3338xp
(I'm glad you had the audit, b/c when we were awarded the +146 from your first entry, I had that as +113 which is what Aub gave us originally before saying switch it to +147 !! So another big thanks to your list!)

About the list,
** You have the first +50 titled (11/13/13), but I think it should be +150 on (10/28/13)... I can't find any xp awarded on, or near, 11/13/13 and I can only find one time we were given a +50xp (the one you have on 11/29/13).

Anyway,
If you take that change into account (and if I take the +146 instead of +113) we have the same amount of xp.

I'm thinking the group is at 3338.
It looks like Gart has us 3xp higher, lol

i have myself at 3341 but my math could be off somewhere
