Lucrezia Villanova |
Awake again.
"Ok, if it's undead, I ain't making soup from that"
Lucrezia tries firing off some more arrows at the thing.
using deadly aim
attack 1 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
damage 1 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16
attack 2 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
damage 2 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10

RD 2:
Two of Lucrezia's arrows bite hard, piercing the scaly shell, but the severely injured creature presses on. The creature steps forward 5 feet, and with its reach, attacks John with its jaw, then quickly lashes out its quick strike ability to make a slam attack. Clearly this is not an ordinary staggered low moving zombie but some fast variation of the creature.
Andrea this confirms your previous suspicion.
bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29;damage: 3d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6, 3) + 13 = 24
slam: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24;damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (1, 4) + 13 = 18
The armor-less man carrying his shield and longsword experiences the horror that ripped through Ermolos' body.

Faelyn Sindrel |
YOur RD 3 action is noted, I'm waiting on John, Grimm, Fluer, Mathalan, and Andrea to finish RD2 actions.
Roger. I am hit and miss today. The boar can not benefit from Orsin. No language!
Grimm Sharpest |
Grimm steps up to X31. He aims for the back corner of the Huge creature, away from john.
Bane Comp longbow attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + (1, 4) = 11
Die again ye bastard!

DMPC John:
John PA the ghoul with his keen longsword.
PA with Keen Long Sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13;Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
PA with Keen Long Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23;Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
He hits with both of his attacks and destroys the undead creature. As John's justice prevail, Grimm's arrow strikes true.

Andrea you would not have to use the spell in the 2nd round. Faleyn your 3rd RD Scorching way is not necessary.
The smell of decay and corruption fills the air.
Andrea and John will recall the horrid experience in the morgue, when the unusual ghoul attacked and killed Kenji, this experience although different has a similar feel to it with the atypical undead.
Truk'tosh |
Nice. AC 13 hit?
Truk'tosh |
Wow, based on the way you described the other attacks it sounded like the other attacks were missing.
"What do we do with this thing now?" Truk asks as he stares down the fallen monstrosity.
Grimm Sharpest |
Dunno. But we're being pushed. I think mebbe this thing made them tracks we saw. Do we wanna try to clear the cave? Or find a safer spot to rest?
Grimm is breathing heavy. He hated ranged combat.
Truk'tosh |
Truk studies Ermolos's remains.
"This place is dangerous. We should have returned to Westcrown", the big orc muses aloud.
"But John's hurt and a man's dead. We're stuck here now. We should search that cave in the morning."
Truk approaches the bleeding fighter.
"Hold still Hellknight. I'll do what I can."
Cure Light (converting Remove Fear): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Cure Mod (converting Lesser Restoration): 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13

This feels like the time at the morgue with the ghoul that killed Kenji. It has a similar feel to it. This zombie was created by something, something that might be in that cave, something that might of created the ghoul from the morgue. If it is strong enough to create a ghoul from that huge creature, it is strong enough to do much worse to us.
Let us gather Ermolos's body and leave here. We need to get back to Westcrown and get Ermolos to the temple to raise him. I owe him that at least for all he has done with and for us.
Andrea taps John 5 times with the CLW wand.
Heal: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4, 2, 7, 8) + 5 = 33

I don't think I described the other attacks as missing. Go back and double check the descriptions, I mentioned fluer shuriken (13) sticking in the scale, Mathalan bolt sticking (13), Lucrezia's arrows sticking and biting (25, 27,15), I mentioned under a spoiler to Andrea grimm's arrow (12)just missing. Andrea's searing light TA roll of a 9 hitting.
Truk'tosh |
It's not a big deal. I should have asked for clarification.
I tend to think of things sticking in a shell as missing.
Truk'tosh |
I suggest we tough it out until tomorrow morning and then search the cave.
Mathalen |
Mathalan says a little pray over her friend, "One of the original brotherhood before we actually had a name, rest in peace."
That attack occurred about an hour into the second watch. Leaving Fluer on guard by herself, unless anyone else is going to replace Ermolos. It's been anything but restful for the group.
Grimm Sharpest |
I'll take watch again. Got a blessing that'll overcome the fatigue in the morning. Ye need me eyes. Get some rest. Fluer, help wit me armor. We gonna move?
Truk'tosh |
We should forgo the cave in any event. We need to get back and figure out how to get into Delvehaven. DO we really want to rile up the high level wizard/cleric that made that thing?
When he's responsible for the death of one of our friends? Yes.
"I'll watch with you", Truk grunts. "I want to be ready if another one of those things shows up."

Agreed.
Lucrezia Villanova |
"I vote we continue to tough it out here til first daylight and then head back to the city. I don't want to play around with the cave right now and I don't want to deal with another shadow over the water when we're down on spells."
Truk'tosh |
"It doesn't take that long to get back to Westcrown and the cave is right there. Assuming it's not a huge, it won't take long to check it out."
John Deos |
"I'll take the last watch, I would prefer not to be attacked again with out my armor."
I really hate that when ever I am away from the computer we end up in a battle and John gets DMnpc. For this battle I never had him put on his shield because I was planing to just two hand my weapon. Though It didn't matter in the end.
Grimm Sharpest |
Right. Let's finish out the night here. My vote is keep an eye on the cave fer now. Group's call on checking it out or not. I'm just here cause a friend died fer yer cause and hopefully I'll get a chance ta kill a few devils. Makes no difference to me though a drink and a tumble sounds better than a cave that's got nothing ta do with the mission.
IF any you girls re cold, me beds real warm by the way. Ha!
Andrea1 |
Andrea prays for her miracles and casts Sanctify Corpse on Ermolo's body.
If you are set on exploring the cave, I have prayed for a spell that will hide the presence of seven people from the sight of undead. It is not guerenteed to hide one from inteliigent undead, but unintelligent undead will not see us as long as we do not attack.
Hide From Undead for 7 people. 70 minutes duration
I say we should leave the cave in case the creator of that zombie resides within. Besides, we still need to bribe Orn out of jail.
Truk'tosh |
Exploring the cave is not mutually exclusive with returning to Westcrown and securing Orn's bribe.
Truk offers Andrea his rod.
"Perform your miracle."
Andrea1 |
Andrea casts an Extended Hide Undead on Truk,Lucrezia,John,Orsin,Faelyn,herself and Grimm.
Shadow, I do not have enough magic to cover you as well. Mathalen, I think you should guard Ermolos' body but leaving you alone is too risky.
Truk'tosh |
Truk will lead the way in if you don't want to have John do it.
Lucrezia Villanova |
"Let me try a bit of sneaky scouting before we all blunder in. If someone is living here there could be traps. I'll give you the all clear if it is ok to follow me in the cave."
Stealth 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Perception 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Disable if needed 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Grimm Sharpest |
Grimm says his prayers in the morning and readies himself.
Hey kitten, I can scout pretty well if I follow yer lead. Angradd let's me sneak up on me enemies. Ye want some backup?
If Lucretia wants backup while she scouts, Grimm will use solo tactics to swap out Shield wall for stealth synergy. Lets him use the better of his or Lucretia's stealth roll. Roll is needed1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
