Aubrey's Rise of the Runelords campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

End of spoilers.

Vethran sends his fireball wooshing down the hallway. The detonation explodes over Camlo's head, accompanied by agonised shrieks.

Saves:
T2 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
T4 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
T5 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
T6 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
T7 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
T8 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
T9 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Grugnar 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Illes.

Map updated.

"Nice one, guvner!"

Be aware - although they are on the board, from where the non-Camlos are they can only see T's 4-7. They cannot see any other creatures. You cannot target (or, indeed, avoid targeting) what you cannot see.

Double move to AQ26 I want to haste the bruisers, but I'm too far back at the moment.
I suppose that is going to provoke from our mute leathered up friend if she wants to take it.

Thugs 4-9, then me.

I should be Thug #1.

Camlo ducks as the fireball explodes happy just to get a small singe-ing.

"Looks like you do have company Mark. Sure you don't want some help?" Camlo giggles, still keeping a wary eye on the hounds.

The group of thugs nearest the door scatter.

Triple move to AQ 18. Stupid heavy armour...

More thugs!

The Mark barks, "Cut them off!" and a group of his henchmen run out of the room, heading south.

Sefayll.

Map updated.

heh heh.......cut them off,....

Sefayll.

Delays her action.

More of the Mark's henchmen scatter. Down in the pit, Camlo watches the hounds step back into the shadows... And disappear.

Map updated.

Camlo, unless Sefayll wishes to stop delaying.

"I'm serious Mark! Drop me a rope down, and I'll see what I can do about your guests! Your puppies seem to have finally gotten bored."

Camlo shouts this up whilst looking around to see if there are handholds or anything to afford a way to climb out.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Camlo:

Camlo:

She's still delaying until someone points her in a specific direction or Illes delivers his Haste spell. (Didn't he say something about waiting earlier, or was that ooc?)

Hudak.

I did, but hadn't realized I would need two rounds of movement just to get into position. You'll have to delay into init 19 of the next round before I can do it.

I'm gonna wait for that haste spell as well; delaying action.

Then it's chargy time.

Okay. Everyone in our group (except Camlo) is delaying for haste.
Thugs, Hounds, and Grugnar are up.

Actually, it's Vethran's go, then Illes gets to move up and FINALLY cast Haste.

Vethran glances back down to the hall to his approaching brother and waits patiently for the others to spring into action. Watching ahead, he waits to see if the enemy spellcaster will make himself known.

Readying an action to counterspell if someone tries to fling a spell our way.

I guess Illes moves and casts Haste?

Illes runs up the corridor while singing a Varisian dancing song.

Pretty much.
Rapier in hand
Cast Haste on everyone except Camlo.
9 rounds
+1 attack, +1 dodge AC, +1 Reflex
Double speed to a max of +30. (Also increases fly speed if that is relevant)
Extra attack as part of a full attack.

It's a good job Camlo can't read all this blue text, he'd be so upset at all these "except Camlo"s..... :)

"...empowered fireball should hit everyone in the room, except Camlo." Does that one make it better?

Absolutely, yes!

I've completely lost track of initiative. Are the thugs up, followed by all the delayees and then Alwyn?

If Hudak and Sefayll go before the thugs, then I move up to AE 14, if not, I wait til they move or something.

I'll probably do that anyway.

Hudak and Sefayll were on delay for haste. They can go now on init 18.5

Yes, Sefayll and Hudak were delaying and so can make their moves.

Map updated.

It won't do to get too far out front, so she will fly forward with Hudak, but either stop with him or just outside of visibility for the folks in the room. I'm not sure what the lighting conditions are like, but a move action would put her 10' past Hudak if she wanted, so she has enough movement to fly forward and back up if she thinks she has over-committed.

Guess I need a hint from Aubrey before I finalize the move. Regardless, it's all movement for her this round.

Lighting conditions are shadowy, but you can see and so can they.

Oh, in that case... she flies forward enough to note the general layout of the room (and how effectively the fireball has dispersed them) and withdraws back to W13.

Sefayll flits as close as she dares to get the lay-out of what is ahead before quickly withdrawing. She spots a few slumped smoking bodies, but most of the enemy have pulled back to the edges of the room to avoid the worst of Vethran's fireballs. She gets the brief impression of a pillared chamber with a large square pit in the centre. She cannot see Camlo, though she hears his voice.

As you've been playing with me for a while, it probably won't surprise you to hear that I still need to finish up some NPC stats for this.

Alwyn.

Move to AK 13 (hooray Haste!) before casting Shield of faith on myself.

Hudak: Don't forget I've cast Bull's strength on you earlier.

Thugs 14-18 are up.

I'm strong!!!!!

Still working on it. Man, PF is a crap system - why do you guys like it so much?

Mighty mighty Hudaaaaaaak!!!

From behind Illes two monstrous hounds made of solid darkness bound up from the stairs behind and attempt to savage him. At the same time, two more appear next to Vethran and attack, inky-black fangs bared.

Four attacks:
S1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 to hit, damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
S2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 to hit, damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
S3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 to hit, damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
S4: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26 to hit (-2 for cover), damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

On a hit (and it looks like only S4 achieves that) they can try a trip: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13.

Camlo.

Map updated.

9 HP deducted from temps. Knowledge check to ID the shadow dog things? Knowledge: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34. Arcana, History, Nobility, Engineering & Planes are all +18. If they fall under another category, I don't have it. 13 does not beat Vethran's CMD.

Vethran:

Vethran withdraws his bloodlessly wounded arm from the creature's teeth, his necromantic protection providing him a modicum of defense against their attacks.

"Beware their terrifying howl!" the mage calls out to his comrades as he prepares to deal with the newfound threat... (on his turn, of course!)

Camlo keeps climbing.... another 10ft up.....

Camlo reaches the top of the pit wall and executes a flip to land on the floor above - to find himself being glared at by about a dozen armed and hostile enemies. The Mark gives him a shark-like grin and flexes his wrist, his jet-black rapier swishing in the air.

Maybe could've timed it a bit better...

"Ahh, The Mark. Sure you don't want help with you intruders? I don't charge much..."
