Game Master Black Powder Chocobo

oh... i misunderstood which door was closed... sorry

No worries; I could have labeled it better in hindsight. But I think everyone is on the same page now... and things are going down! And smart idea trying to use the tunnel to escape :)

The tactical gamer in me would say that she would move back.. but the "in character Elf" in me says she's suddenly feeling like tossing her cookies and her first instinct is to stop, take a few deep breaths and try and keep from littering the already skaggy floor with more stinky debris.. heh.

"Stupid caster" Deaglan snarls "nobody sees a thing in here, retreat away from him in an orderly fashion. Ploog, we will get back for you after we have dealt with him"

Deaglan moves out of the stinking fog cloud while readying his axe.

I am back! GM, my wayfinder can cast detect evil, not protection from evil. I will have used one of my prepared spells of protection from evil.

@Deaglan: The shining wayfinder can do a 1/day protection from evil, too! Link: Shining Wayfinder

Only Owai left!

Completely missed that part, thanks!

Botting Owai

Owai casts a spell, increasing his speed, before following Varian into the tunnel.

Owai Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Meanwhile, Crove does his own thing, which no one can see right now!

Lastly, the angry badger attacks Shilyn now!

Badger bite @ Shilyn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Miss chance > 20 = hit: 1d100 ⇒ 49
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

However, the sorceress rogue hears the snarling and avoids the incoming bite!

Starting off with a surprise round! Standard action only
Init Order (bold = up)
Crove/Fiendish honey badger
Owai
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated)
Mahasi (nauseated)
Shilyn (nauseated)

Varian continues on around as far as he can go...

Deaglan readies his shield. "Retreat to me, don't stay in the cloud!"

and that was my move action

Mahasi falls back as well, still retching.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Giving a quick glance around, Shilyn notices that her companions are moving back the way they'd come. A snarling noise draws her attention downward in time to jump back and narrowly avoid being bitten by the badger. "I can't believe this thing tried to bite me!" she exclaims as she turns tail and follows the others out of the cloud, relying on her fancy footwork to keep from giving the badger another chance to bite while still trying to keep her latest meal where it belongs..

Acrobatics please, Shilyn!

-Posted with Wayfinder

acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Shilyn nimbly escapes the badger's grasp!

Waiting a bit later for Owai, then botting and continuing!

Botting Owai

Owai darts forward, heading towards Crove. He opens the door on the wizard casting a long spell, then swinging at the casting man.
Owai would be using his Crane Style @ Crove

Sorta weird, but since wasn't trying to cast defensively initially, he shouldn't start being defensive now that there is a threat.

Owai AoO @ Crove: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Crove Concentration on hit vs DC 24: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

The blow is powerful enough to stop Crove's spell!

"Return!", Crove yells in Abyssal as he tries to touch Owai.
Crove touch of chaos @ Owai: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Amazingly, he manages to grasp his hand on the monk, imbuing him with the essence of chaos.

Owai will roll twice for all d20 rolls and use the worst until Crove's next turn.

Upon Crove's command, the fiendish badger moves up and tries to bite Owai!

Badger bite @ Owai: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
The badger manages to land a painful bite at the now surrounded Owai!

However, the sorceress rogue hears the snarling and avoids the incoming bite!

Starting off with a surprise round! Standard action only

Round 3 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (12 damage)
Fiendish honey badger
Owai (7 damage, touch of chaos: roll d20 twice and take the lowest until Crove's next turn)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated 4 more rounds)
Mahasi (nauseated 4 more rounds)
Shilyn (nauseated 4 more rounds)

"What's happening? Why aren't your retreating!?" Deaglan yells into the mists while he readies his axe, ready to hit the first enemy to come into range (and sight)

I won't bother rolling that, I don't think any enemy will get into range

Varian moves, still nauseated (3 more rounds)

Mahasi drinks a second helping of stillgut, and this time the wretched goblin brew helps him find some calmness within his stomach.

fort, a move: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 This is a move action

He focuses for a moment on the magic cloud and summons favor garnered from a ghaele

dispel check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Is the caster 8th level or below? If so, the stinking cloud is dispelled

Cloud is gone! The nauseated effects still remains, though.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The cloud dispersing early and Owai in his face, Crove curses at the party. "Damn you! You're ruining everything, my perfect setup to trap the beast, and you see ME as the monster? I'll enjoy using your half-dead bodies as bait when we are done!"

Round 3 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (12 damage)
Fiendish honey badger
Owai (7 damage, touch of chaos: roll d20 twice and take the lowest until Crove's next turn)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated 3 more rounds)
Mahasi
Shilyn (nauseated 3 more rounds)

Since Shilyn can't do anything but move to a better location, I'll wait to around lunch time before I bot Owai and move on.

Yup, she'll continue to move away from the rabid badger..at least until her stomach settles.. Sorry for not posting her action yesterday.. my vid card wasn't allowing me to do much. Auto update installed a bad driver.. ugh.

No worries, I've been busy myself, too! Hope Owai is doing ok, too!

Owai shifts his attention defensively at the badger before going after Crove again.

Owai scimitar @ Crove, defensive: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16
Owai scimitar chaos @ Crove, defensive: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

This time, Owai misses the aged wizard, his blade nearly slipping out of his hand as he swings.

"You'll rue the day you messed with me, youngin'!", Crove taunting the aasimar as he tries to touch him again.

Crove bad touch @ Owai: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15

Owai is too nimble for him this time!

Meanwhile, the badger continues to attack Owai!

Badger bite @ Owai: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Badger claw @ Owai: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Extra damage on crit: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Badger claw @ Owai: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Extra damage on crit: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Amazingly, the badger manages to cut the monk twice with his fiendishly sharp claws!

Round 4 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (12 damage)
Fiendish honey badger
Owai (17 damage)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated 2 more rounds)
Mahasi
Shilyn (nauseated 2 more rounds)

Varian waits for the nausea to pass...

If I launch a web into his little hallway, will it spill out into through the barred doors?

Deaglan moves quickly to the fight double move for 40 ft

"Owai! Why didn't you tell us you were advancing?! Communication is everything, especially when we can't see each other"

@Mahasi: I'll allow some; I'll reduce the DC by 4 for the reduced webbing through any barred doors.

@Deaglan: Owai seems quiet to you, focused on defeating the evil man in front of him... Yeah, that's the ticket!

And sorry for the slow pace this week, work's been quite busy!

@Mahasi: The door is open now; I had Owai open it so he could strike at Crowe clearly and threaten him, so it'll be full DC... unless Owai closes it. If I have to bot him, I'll have him attack, then close the door for the reduced DC if you want.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Mahasi launches a splash of acid at the badger.

cover, touch: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15
acid: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Mahasi burns the fiendish badger with a glob of acid... but it seems to only make it madder, its mouth now foaming red as it rages at the nearby aasimar!

Owai continues his assault on Crove!

Scimitar @ Crove: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Crove is cut once again!

The elder wizard tries to cast another spell.

Crove concentration vs DC 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Healing: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7, 8) + 6 = 25

All of Crove's injuries are healed, leaving the man unscathed!

The badger continues to maul Owai, now empowered by a badger rage!
Badger bite @ Owai: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Badger claw @ Owai: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Badger claw @ Owai: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Only one claw gets through, but Owai is getting injured.

Round 5 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove
Fiendish honey badger (3 damage, raging)
Owai (25 damage, expeditiously retreated)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated 1 more round)
Mahasi
Shilyn (nauseated 1 more round)

If I have to bot Owai again, he'll be retreating now, so if you want to Web Mahasi, he'll obey :)

Varian waits where he is one more time... hopefully for the last time for the nausea to wear off.

Owai, get back! Deaglan shouts while moving to the badger and striking the foul creature with his axe.

Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

Current AC=25

Shilyn continues to move with the others, keeping herself to the back and out of the way. She feels the nausea beginning to abate and starts planning what she can do once her stomach quits threatening to revisit her lunch.

Sorry for the delay; I've been trying to get ahold of Owai since the player's been absent for a couple of weeks now. Botting and continuing, giving Mahasi a few more hours for him to post.

Deaglan lands a powerful blow against the summoned creature, although it only seems angrier now!

Owai, now severely injured, backs away acrobatically before healing himself.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

However, the badger gets a swipe at him as he tries to evade!

Badger bite @ Owai: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

And the fiendish creature manages to sink his teeth into him again!

CLW @ Owai: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Owai's wand manages to undo most of the recent bite damage.

Round 5 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove
Fiendish honey badger (17 damage, raging)
Owai (26 damage, expeditiously retreated)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage; nauseated 1 more round)
Mahasi
Shilyn (nauseated 1 more round)

Map updated; forgot to expand the area behind Crove as Deaglan and Owai can now see well behind him.

Oops! Sorry

With an unobstructed shot now, Mahasi whirls around and launches a bolt of acid.

touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Will last two more rounds after this, concentration checks required while it's active
acid rd 1: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 concentration 12 plus spell level
acid rd 2: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 concentration 13 plus spell level
acid rd 3: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 concentration 11 plus spell level

No worries; I've been slow too the past few days and Owai's been oddly quiet. I'm assuming you're aiming at Crove, then! And it'll be somewhat obstructed thanks to the badger and Deaglan in the way, but even with that, you hit Crove's pitiful touch AC. And thanks for the nifty precalculated DCs!

The mad asylum operator's skin burns slightly as acid sizzles on his chest, glaring now at Mahasi. "You dare battle me with magics, boy? Let me show you what the Great Elder Ones have shown me!"

He opens his palm towards Mahasi and a beam of light shoots out towards him!

Crove Concentration vs DC 15: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Crove ranged touch @ Mahasi: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 4 = 1
Damage on hit: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) = 9

Crove's spell goes off, but his aim with old age is poor, and the nearby wall in the chamber is singed instead of Mahasi!

With Owai out of its reach, the badger now turns to Deaglan in its bloody rage.

Badger bite @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Badger claw @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Badger claw @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

With magic and shield in hand, Deaglan staves off the badger's furious assault!

Round 6 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (11 damage, round 2 acid applied)
Fiendish honey badger (17 damage, raging)
Owai (26 damage, expeditiously retreated)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage)
Mahasi
Shilyn

Varian, finally no longer nauseated, charges forward and attacks the badger.

to hit: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
dmg if hits: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5, 1) + 3 = 15

Deaglan steps around the badger and attacks it again

Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

With her nausea abated, Shilyn grumbles about wizards in general as she pulls her bow. "Time to show this little wizard just what this half-Elf is made of," she mutters as she moves down the hall while setting an arrow to the string.

Varian's powerful blow crushes the stone floor near the badger, but Deaglan once again cleaves it. The badger, severely bloodied, shows not sign of stopping.

Round 6 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (11 damage, round 2 acid applied)
Fiendish honey badger (26 damage, raging)
Owai (26 damage, expeditiously retreated)
Deaglan
Varian (14 damage)
Mahasi
Shilyn

Mahasi winces as the light burns a scar in his skin. Pure font of magic that his is, though, he is quite ready for a wizard's duel. He throws a persistent snowball

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
cold: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 4, 6) = 21 plus two DC 17 fort saves or be staggered.

@Mahasi: No damage to you; the ranged touch roll was a Nat 1, so you're safe!

Mahasi chucks the snowball a long distance, hitting Crove in the face!

Crove fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Crove 2nd fort on success: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Amazingly, while the asylum keeper's face is red from the painful sting of cold, he still acts with normal speed.

Owai heals himself, before stepping up to help engage Crove and his fiendish ally.

Owai CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Owai Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Crove, not prepared for such intruders, closes the door in Owai's face before casting another spell.

Crove Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 The aged man then disappears from view.

The badger continues to fight, focusing still on Deaglan!

Badger bite @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Badger claw @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Badger claw @ Deaglan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The badger gets close to hurting the dwarf, but his magical wards prevent a savage mauling!

Round 7 Init Order (bold = up)

Hey, Shilyn, if you get the cash, you may want to get Pathfinder: Unchained. But right now, you get an extra feat (Weapon Finesse is a Bonus Feat now)..

I picked up the Unchained plug-in for Hero Labs but it doesn't seem to have the finesse as a bonus feat. Ended up buying the book of Amazon since it was only $28 but have to wait until it comes in to check it out. Hero Labs has the finesse triggering off your rogue trait so I think something may be wacky. I'll keep you posted once I get the book. Thanks :)

Oh um.. you forgot to highlight who's up. heh.

Bah, you're right. It's everyone that's up! The Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat is combined with the Finesse Training ability. But that's ok, you have a bit longer to rebuild (at least until you're done with the asylum and can rest!

Round 7 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (35 damage, disappeared?)
Fiendish honey badger (26 damage, raging)

Mahasi responds with a glitterdust, filling the hallway with sparklies.

DC 18 will vs. the blindness

Crove Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Crove, almost expecting such retribution, appears in a blast of glittery dust, still in his position behind the now closed (but partially barred door) so you can see a location behind Crove to blast the hallway he's in without affecting the others.

Round 7 Init Order (bold = up)
Crove (35 damage, glittery!)

Varian strikes at the raging badger.

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
dmg if hits: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) + 3 = 7

bah!

@Varian: Once again the ferocious critter is too twitchy to land a straight blow.

Flanking Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

"Varian, stop distracting me! Either hit the damn beast or do something useful!"

Muttering at her lack of a clear shot of the badger, Shilyn drops her bow and moves forward to assist with the critter. Drawing her rapier on the move, she thrusts the blade at the furry thing hoping to put it down once and for all..

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
damage if flanked: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
