Aubrey's Rise of the Runelords campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

How about Cure light wounds on Larken? Larken recovers 6+3=9 hit points, and suddenly feels much better.

Works for me - and Vissi is currently unavailable for comment.

Davos leans over and places a hand on the shoulder of the young thief. His wounds knit, leaving a crusting of blood over pink, healed skin.

Reposting initiative:
Vethran: 20
Squat: 19
Ripnugget: 18+
Davos:18-
Larken: 17
Elisile: 15
L'oj: 12
Dravite: 10
Alwyn: 10
Illes: 9+
Ripnugget's dog: 9-
Hudak: 8
Goblin mooks: 8
Weasly: 4

So, it is the young thief next, newly healed.

I didn't even realize that I didn't post the spell I was going to cast. But good call on the healing.

I've been neglecting my usual routine because my brother is home on leave. He ships out for Guam next week (he's in the Navy), so my posting will pick up soon. But until then I'm trying to hang out with him as much as possible.

Thanks for understanding guys, and Aubrey feel free to NPC Davos if I'm holding things up.

No problems, dude.

Larken next.

Okay.... I think I have my map updated.
Working on the assumption that there are only 4 goblins left (Ripnugget at J10, Squat at I9, Weasel at I11, and a mook at F10) and a goblin dog somewhere in the vicinity of G1 or H10, Larken moves around the outside of the fight to I8 and puts some pressure on Squat.
Attack: 10r +5 +1(bardic) = 16
damage: 2r +2 +1(bardic) = 5

As the pain of his wounds fades to a considerably more manageable level, Larken nods his thanks to the stranger and moves around to confront the priest, driving in with a quick, badly-placed rapier thrust that, at the least, draws the goblin's attention.

Larken's rapier fails to find a gap in the cleric's armour, and he cannot find the flesh beneath.

Elisile.

Elisile whispers several mystic syllables, and the hand holding in her insides glows faintly, momentarily – a minor healing cantrip which does little to treat the serious wound, but at least means she can take her hand away.

Casts cure minor wounds, 1hp.

She then steps back to retrieve her dropped bow, knowing she is more effective with that weapon than in melee combat. moves to M11.

I believe Gurney and Lo'j are still fighting the doggy

Gurney's attatck: 5+3=8 (yay)

Lo'j: 20+8 =28 confirm 17+8=25

normal damage: 5+2 = 7
critical damage: 4+2 = 6

what are the locations of all living enemies?

what are the locations of all living enemies?

Assuming my map is accurate:

Dravite moves over the body of a goblin to get a better angle on Ripnugget before swinging his hook at Ripnuggets chest, 1d20 8=21+1 bardic=22 to hit, 1d12 4=9+1 bardic=10 damage. 5'step to K10.

"HEY! He's mine, you bloodgreedy dog!"
Hudak says, giggling hysterically; he can't even play it sarcastically straight he's so relieved for the aid.

Illes and Alwyn switched positions on the initiative chart. Won't make much of a difference as I'm running both, though.

"Give me that, ugly", Illes sneers as he lashes out with his whip at Gruesome's healing wand.

Grab attempt! Opposed rolls - Illes rolls 14+3+2(whip disarm)+4(size) +1(bardic music)=20 and the goblin takes -4 since a wand isn't a melee weapon. If Gruesome misses the roll, Illes now owns a nice new wand. The whip has 15' range and provokes no AoO, so Illes stays put.

"Ow, Gorum's teeth... What the hell hit me?" Alwyn staggers unsteadily to his feet before casting a spell on himself. As his double vision clears up, he spots the fallen Manic, which brings a satisfied smile to his face. "You're next", he mutters as he lurches towards Weasly.

Move action to stand up, then burning bless to cast cure light wounds on myself. After regaining 6+3=9 hit points, Alwyn finally takes a 5' step to J13.

The dog, then Hudak.

Lo'j plunges his sword into the goblin dog's side , half-disembowelling it. But by the gods it is tough, and fights on with undiminished ferocity, sinking its fangs into Lo'j's leg - slightly out of sequence, for dramatic effect, 7 points of damage to Lo'j. Dravite hooks Ripnuggest, but the goblin chief seems equally resilient, battling on grimly.

Meanwhile, Illes ficks the healing wand out of the goblin cleric's grasp. It stands there, stupefied, staring at its empty hands.

Hudak.

hit Ripnugget....again.
r19+7+1=26
damage r6+4+1=11

if dead, and possible, cleave weaselly!
r15+7+1=23
damage r6+4+1=11.

"Why won't you die?!?!?"

Git 'im, Brother!

if dead, and possible, cleave weaselly!

No such luck.

Hudak strikes a might blow, but incredibly, Ripnugget keeps on coming! But his breathing is ragged, and blood drips to the earth floor from under his armour.

The last goblin footsoldier's nerve breaks. he backs away from Lo'j and Gurney, and makes a break for it through the hole blasted in the hut wall by the lightning bolt. However, it simply dies under Alwyn's blade, feet from freedom.

Alwyn will get an AoO.

EDIT - updated for Alwyn's AoO below.

The goblin assassin slides up behind Hudak and tries to stab him in the back again. But Hudak has learnt his lesson, and jigs aside, narrowly foiling the blow.

Weasly 5' steps to J12, and misses.

AoO on the goblin: roll 13+6+1(bard)=AC 20, damage 9+3=12.

Vethran.

Vethran intones the same word of power as before, gesturing near the pillar around which the goblins seem to be fighting. Another gout of flame erupts violently around the hapless king and his aide.

Fiery Burst again, this time at I-J/9-10. Damage: 3. :( Reflex DC 15 for half.

Ripnugget mostly avoids the blast, but the cleric is scorched and howls with pain and frustration. It grabs its axe and swings wildly at Larken, missing by a large margin.

Ripnugget feints, pulling Hudak out of position, before clobbering him again with his greatsword. Another Shoanti falls to Ripnugget's wrath. 18 points of damage to Hudak.

Davos.

Hudak defiantly crashes to the ground. He attacks the ground, drowning it with gouts of his blood. He seeks to smother the ground to death.

As Davos is off hosting his brother, may I suggest Cure moderate wounds on Hudak? Concentration 13+7=20, damage restored 2d8+3=14.

Larken's next.

"You're gonna pay, Buttnugget!!!"

Has Davos got a Cure Mod?

I hope so. ;) (if not, reconvert to -6. posting so I'll remember).

He hasn't written down any memorised spells... :( But he still has both 2nd level slots left, and can thus burn something and spontaneously cast a CMW.

Edit - he opened up with a Summon monster II, so this is his last convertible 2nd level spell. He still has Bless weapon left, but that's his domain spell.

Sweeeeeeet.

His breath hissing though clenched teeth as tender, half-healed muscles complain, Larken dodges the wild axe-swing, crouching low and thrusting his rapier into the goblin's middle.

attack: 17r +5 +1(bardic?) = 23
damage: 5r +2 +1(bardic?) = 8

The bardic music expires on Illes' turn next round.

Elisile's next.

ENCORE!!!
Play sum Skynyrd mayun!
Freebard!!!

My prepared spells are listed in my stats under Spells Prepared. Can't burn Bless Weapon, so I've got Lesser Vigor, or I can burn that for a Cure Light Wounds. Your choice.

Cure Light Wounds (1d8+3=10)

OR

Lesser Vigor: Subject gains fast healing 1 for 13 rounds.

I don't think this encounter is going to last another 13 rounds so CLW would be the best.

All I've got left are Bless Weapon and my Orisons.
However, if we were playing with the PRPG rules, I could use my 5 Turn Undead uses to heal.

Elisile crouches to pick up her bow, quickly nocks an arrow, and fires at Ripnugget.

Attack roll:19+6+1 (music) -4 (firing into melee) = 22
I can trace a line to Ripnugget without going through Dravite or Hudak’s squares, so there is no additional cover penalty.
If that hits: 6+1+1 = 8 damage

I'll take the 10 h.p. I'm at 4 h.p.
Sweet!

His breath hissing though clenched teeth as tender, half-healed muscles complain, Larken dodges the wild axe-swing, crouching low and thrusting his rapier into the goblin's middle.

attack: 17r +5 +1(bardic?) = 23
damage: 5r +2 +1(bardic?) = 8

With a swift thrust, the squat goblin cleric is felled. Elisile misses Ripnugget by a hair's breadth with her arrow.

Squat is down.

Enter the Lo'j.

Gurney continues to suck up a storm, but will take a 5' step in an attempt to create a flanking condition.

I will take a 5' step as well, and attack the dog again.

15+5+1 (bardic) +2 (if flanking) = 23

Damage 5+2+1(bardic)+3 (if flanking) =11

Lo'j hacks at the dog again. Blood froths at the dogs jaws, and it can barely stand, but still it fights on.

Dravite.

Lo'j hacks at the dog again. Blood froths at the dogs jaws, and it can barely stand, but still it fights on.

Dravite.

Unholy demon dog of Steve!

Ya rule be ended, gobbo-king, ye won't be killin' at Sandpoint agin. Prepare fer hell.
1d20 8=28 possible crit, 1d12 4=8 damage, 1d20 8=13crit confirmation (not confirmed) so 8 damage to Ripnugget.
If Ripnugget falls then Dravite steps into J10, to stand over the fallen body in a victorious pose.

"DRAVITE! OOGA OOGA! DRAVITE! OOGA OOGA!"

Ripnugget falls, and breathes his last. Dravite stands over the fallen goblin chief and roars his victory.

Alwyn.

TIMBERRRRRRRRR!
HUA!

Illes looks at his whip, at his newly acquired wand, and then at Weasly. Grinning like a schoolboy, he lashes out again.

Another grab attempt. Opposed rolls - Illes rolls 13+3+2(whip disarm)+4(size)+1(bardic music)=19. If Weasly misses , his dogslicer ends up at Illes' feet in L11.

Alwyn extends the swing that brought down the fleeing goblin, smashing his greatsword into Weasly's ribs.

Standing still and attacking Weasly. Attack roll 13+6+2(flanking with Hudak)+1(bardic music)-2(power attack)=AC 20, damage 10+3+1(bardic music)+3(L'oj's Master of tactics aura)+4(power attack)=21 points of damage. If this is enough to bring Weasly down (which I doubt), I take a 5' step to I12.

The dog, then Hudak.

Illes deprives the goblin rogue of his weapon. Alwyn then deprives him of his liver and lungs with a brutal smash from his sword.

Weasly down.

Lo'j fends off the goblin hound's attack with his shield.

Hudak.

Git that mutt, Brother!
BTW, just so you guys know, Dravite is starting to add familial names to all his companions as he starts to feel closer to them. So far that connection has happened between him and Hudak. He is almost there with several others and will be applying monikers to each of them as we go. This is something that ties into his back story and him wanting to have a family again deep-down inside. Perhaps it will help to heal the scars on his soul. Deep, huh.

Hudak runs at the mutt, hacks with his axe.
r5+7+1=13
dmg 7+4+1=12(?)
