Aubrey's Rise of the Runelords campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

And I think the second group of ogres is up now

Initiative:
Veth 20 : Cat's grace, Protection from arrows - +4 DEX, DR 10 vs missiles
Camlo 18 : Cat's grace - +4 DEX
Elisile 15+ : Cat's grace, Shield - +4 DEX, +4 AC
Hudak 15- : Bull's strength, Protection from evil, Heroism - +4 STR, +2 AC, +2 attack bonus
Alwyn 12 : Enlarge person, Heroism, Shield of faith - +2 atk, +3 AC, Large size
Ogres 11
Illes 4 : Alter self, Eagle's splendor - +2 STR, +4 CHA

That's the last posted Init. As far as I can tell, all Ogres are on the same Init...Not too sure why Alwyn went after Veth, except that Aubrey told hiom too. Readied action?....Correct me if I'm wrong.

Various ogres go on 17, 14, and 10

Revised initiative reprised:

Veth 20
Camlo 18
Masked ogre 17
Elisile 15+
Hudak 15-
Female ogre 14
Alwyn 12
More ogres 10
Illes 4

Alwyn cuts down the marked ogre and ends up drenched in its blood.

Alwyn can move if he wants to, but he will need to squeeze through the narrow door.

Aubrey, can camlo see the far side of the room with the Mage-Ogre? If so, what are the logistics of lobbing a fireball neckless part into it?

Yes. As far as I know, the logistics are that you simply through the bead.

So range touch attack to hit where I want? Scatter if I miss? With my nice high Dex... What I meant though, was will I be able to throw the orb far enough to get a 30ft blast, that doesn't hit any of my companions?

Actually, pitty I can't get into a position to sneak attack these beasties with +4Dex and Weapon Finesse :D, could someone make them flatfoooted and I'll get my crossbow out!

No ranged touch, it just works like the spell and requires no roll to hit. Unless you want to roll to hit, of course...

LOL, well I should use this Dex for something :) I am beginning to get the feeling you don't want to tell me what will happen if I try though ;)

Alwyn cuts down the marked ogre and ends up drenched in its blood.

Huzzah! In that case, I move to FG 10-11.

Alwyn steps over Jaws' body and rumbles up to the sorceress.

AoO from Alwyn's movement from the ogre lady with a dagger.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29, damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8, crit confirm 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14, extra damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

No crit, then - 8 damage.

The two remaining ogre slugger continues flailing at Hudak.

Attack 1 on Hudak: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23, damage 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

Illes.

Alwyn looks down on the cut and then back at the ogre sorceress, shaking his head. "Really? A dagger? If that was the best you can do, you're in serious trouble."

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

"I wish Dravite were here! He'd love this!!!" ;)

Illes shouts "SIOPI!!!"* and brings both hands together in a loud clap to snuff out sound around the ogress.

Silence
Point in space: F-G/15-16. Hits the witch, stops just before Alwyn.
*Varisian for "Silence!!!"
Free action: Maintain Inspire Courage +3/+3

Seeing his cousin's spell in effect, Vethran draws his wand of magic missiles and lashes out at the ogre the Shoanti have bloodied.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6 damage to "Jaws."

Sadly (or not! Ha!), Jaws is dead. However, the sorceress is still up, as is the ogre menacing Hudak. Also, I just changed my avatar, just to mix things up a little.

Illes shouts "SIOPI!!!"* and brings both hands together in a loud clap to snuff out sound around the ogress.

Silence
Point in space: F-G/15-16. Hits the witch, stops just before Alwyn.
*Varisian for "Silence!!!"
Free action: Maintain Inspire Courage +3/+3

Slight problem with the placing - F-G/15-16 isn't visible (and may be outside). F-G/14-15 is available, so we'll run with that.

Illes' spell brings a zone of hush that envelops both the ogre witch and Alwyn. Vethran's missiles make her yelp, though silently.

Camlo.

Camlo loads his crossbow, and takes aim at the only ogre he can see (not sure which it is Ogre3 on my map...)

Atk: 1d20+11+2(increased dex)+3(inspire courage) 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Dmg: 1d3+1+3(inspire courage) 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Camlo's bolt lodges in the ogre's hide but it doesn't seem unduly concerned.

Elisile, then Hudak.

Isn’t ‘ogre 3’ (on Nevynxxx’s map) the one that Elisile finished off last round?

Elisile steps out of the side chamber and shoots through the doorway, trying to aim her electrically charged arrows past the enlarged Alwyn to hit the ogre magess.

5 foot step to G6, full attack with bow on the ogre in the pink dress. Rapid Shot. Amongst the various modifiers I’ve applied a -4 penalty for cover provided by Alwyn.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (3) = 15
Attack 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (3) = 15

Hudak 5 foot step to I8.

attacking "ogre 3"
17 12 13

att 11d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

damage 1
1d10 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

att 21d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

damage 2
1d10 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

then cleave "ogre 4" if posible;

att cleave1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

dmg cleave1d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

fumbled m'cleave...

*dot*

The two ogres (3 and 4) fighting Hudak are down - one killed by Elisile and one just killed by Hudak (with a little help from Camlo). That also means that Hudak can't cleave, unless he wants to attack a corpse.

Hudak downs another ogre. Elisile then fires on the ogress, hitting twice. The silenced sorceress attempts to move out of the line of fire and get to a place where she can cast a spell.

Don't have the map to hand, but she is moving to the north-west corner of the room she is in. This will provoke an AoO from Alwyn. Then, if she is still alive, she will cast a spell, but let's resolve the AoO first.

yeah; Hudak'll hold off...

AoO: Attack roll 10+9+3(bard)+2(Heroism)=AC 24, damage 3d6+6(STR)+1(weapon)+3(bard)=22.

Wounded by Alwyn's reflexive attack, the ogre sorceress nevertheless makes it out of reach of both him and missiles from Elisile and Vethran. She quickly casts again.

She moves to B-C/9-10 and casts Confusion, centred on G-H/8-9. Will save DC 18. By my reckoning, that should catch Hudak and Alwyn.

Will save 11+6+2(Heroism)=19.

wil save 1d20 ⇒ 10

*DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEErp!!!*
I'm confused. No way out of it.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Ah well, Elisile’s none the wiser as to what spell that was.

"Vethran! Did you see what spell the ogress cast?"

Think Alwyn's up.

"Damn you, witch!" Alwyn charges the ogress.

I'm running up to her using Power Attack. Attack roll 11+9+3(bard)+2(Heroism)+2(charge)-2(Power Attack)=AC 25, damage 3d6+6(STR)+1(weapon)+3(bard)+6(PA)=29.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 to ID the spell, assuming I can't just yell out "the same one as before!"

If I understood the map right when I looked yesterday, only Alwyn and Hudak can see her now. Also the shoanti bros are in my silence area so they don't get inspire courage for now. I'll drop it on my turn, but it will take my action.

Alwyn hits the ogress again. She looks badly wounded. She lashes out at the Shoanti as he hurls himself towards he but her blow glances off his armour.

Illes - is dropping your spell your action?

Yes. Drop silence and maintain Inspire Courage +3/+3. btw- none of these ogres were the captain or whatever we saw outside when we were trying to sneak in are they?
Also move 25 ft to G10

No.

Vethran.

Vethran rushes back down the hallway in order to bring the remaining ogres into view. (Move to F7.)

Looking over Hudak's shoulder at the pair of ogres, Vethran focuses his energy into a fiery burst that engulfs them both. (Fiery Burst, hitting J-K/7-8. 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 6) = 17 fire damage, DC 22 for half.)

Fate, I think those two ogres are down. Unless you are intending to fry their corpses ...

Yeah, what is this thing for corpse-desecration that you guys are suddenly into?

Must be something about playing a Nick Logue adventure.

Must be something about playing a Nick Logue adventure.

D'oh. I move to H7 then and fry the sorceress. I think I can see her from there.

Reflex save: 1d20 ⇒ 8

The ogress howls as she burns.

Camlo.

Still waiting for Camlo.

Bugger, thought I'd replied. Will do by the end of the day.

Dravite:

Can someone link the overview map of the fort for me? I can't seem to find it...
For Aubrey=

All the maps I've drawn so far....

I've kind of lost track of everyone though. I'll trawl through and update the map if I get chance tomorrow, if the combat isn't over by then!
As far as I can tell, the witch-ogre is the only one left? Camlo will move to H7 and attempt to crossbow her then...Assuming noone is stood there, and that I can see her from there. Feel free to correct the details Aub.

Camlo moves to shoot the sorceror with his crossbow.

Atk: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
+4d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 1) + 4 = 19 if she happens to be flatfooted and within 30ft...

dot

Since Camlo went and the masked ogre is down it should be Elisile next far as I can tell.
