Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

The first watch goes by uneventfully.

I need Orsin to make that history check

Orsin doesn't have Knowledge history, but I do have the +2 Pathfinder Chronicles for anyone that can make the check. Here's a roll if that's all you need.

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Andrea has no idea of history either. Seems her schooling wa svery selective.

Grimm smaks Andrea's rump as he settles to sleep with his Breastplate beside him, still wearing his Armored Kilt.
Shirtless it was apparent the seemingly stout dwarf was obviously barrel chested but immensely powerful. His physique would be very impressive if it not for the fact his body hair was so think as to almost form a brown coat he couldn't possibly get cold.
Nothing funny girl, but Big Poppa Pump will keep ye warm if ye like

The three watches go by without incident. The next morning give me your game plan and marching. Keep in mind Lucrezia will be spotty and Orsin will not be on.

Faelyn wakes up and spends time preparing his spells.

I'll let Truk, Grimm, or John lead.

Andrea looks over at Grimm. Perhaps. Thank you for joining us, you have the same strength as Grimm and Duncan.

Andrea wakes. My suggestion is that we head to the red door and then examine it in order to know how to open the way to the Amber Arca. As for marching order, how about this?

John/Grimm
Truk/Lucrezia
Orsin/Faelyn
Andrea/Fleur

This way we have a strong front row to push inside. Truk in the second row and myself in the rear allows us to protect everyone with our miracles.

Andrea gives Orsin her magic silver light mace and Fleur the masterwork light crossbow and 20 mithril bolts.

MAP

Tell me which route you are traveling to get to the summoning chamber.

Assuming that the passage connects, which we won't know until we go look, I'd suggest heading straight down the corridor as soon as we leave this room and seeing if it does lead right back to the statue room in B20.

I agree with Lucrezia

Lucrezia intuition pays off, the passage does connect to the statute room. She opens the door and then steps back for John and Grimm to walk in front of her. Grimm cops a feel with his thick stubby hands as he squeezes past.

As the first two adventurers emerge they are beset upon by at least two bats swarms. John and Grimm each get an AoO on their respective swarm as the high pitched sound fills the room.John and Grim take your AoO against the swarm, they flying bats are diminutive in size.

BATTLE MAP

What type of lightsource does John have? Usually Grimm casts light.

Nothing has been stated about light sources, although Grimm has his darkvision. I assume John didn't light any.

Faelyn usually leads the group with dancing lights.

Are we in initiative or are we waiting on someone?

John/Grimm have AoOs

I thought the bats were diminutive. That means they're immune to weapon attacks anyways.

Having No way to affect the swarm, the dwarf trudges forward to make some room,
Faelyn, cast FLAMING SHPERE ON ME! And using his JUDGEMENT for fire resist 5.

I thought the bats were diminutive. That means they're immune to weapon attacks anyways.

They are immune to weapon damage but if one of the two lead PCs had something they could use, they could take the AOO. They have a technical AOO since the swarm has to enter their squares.

The two swarms engulf Grimm and John as it feels like 100s of nips are being taken by the creatures.

Grimm: 1d6 ⇒ 4, plus 1 bleed damage per round DC 10 heal check to stop bleed.

John: 1d6 ⇒ 1, plus 1 bleed damage per round DC 10 heal check , or cure, to stop bleed.

Grimm are you using an extra initiative ability on Faelyn this round? You get this 3 times per day correct? Additional, movement will happen once we get in initiative in Rd 1.

Initiative Order;

Grimm
Truk
John
Faleyn
Lucrenzia
Andrea
bat swarm 1
Fluer
bat swarm 2
Orsin

Battle MAP

Rd 1 Begins:

Grimm, now in Rd 1, you can use your judgment as a swift action and move to make room for the others.

Well it won't do anything against the swarm but I had might as well do it now...

Truk grips his holy symbol and asks his goddess for protection.

Extended Magic Circle vs Evil

John wil move to g24 and attempt to stop the bleeding.
untrained heal: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Grimm moves to D20 and uses his Judgement for Fire Resistance.
Faelyn, Fire!

Initiative Order;

Grimm - moves to D20, uses judgment to resist fire
Truk - extended magic cicle for evil
John - moved to G24 and tried to stop bleed, failed check
Faleyn
Lucrenzia
Andrea
bat swarm 1
Fluer
bat swarm 2
Orsin

Grimm are you going to try to stop the bleed damage?

The two swarms engulf Grimm and John as it feels like 100s of nips are being taken by the creatures.

[dice=Grimm]1d6, plus 1 bleed damage per round DC 10 heal check to stop bleed.

[dice=John]1d6, plus 1 bleed damage per round DC 10 heal check , or cure, to stop bleed.

Grimm are you using an extra initiative ability on Faelyn this round? You get this 3 times per day correct? Additional, movement will happen once we get in initiative in Rd 1.

Grimm can grant extra initiative 5 a day. Use it on Faelyn every combat.

I used one on Faelyn anyway, I just assumed it would be ok.

Lucrezia quick swap places with me.

If she swaps places, Faelyn moves to D25 and casts Colorspray defensively.

Defensive: 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 6 = 27

DC 17 Will. It should hit both swarm. Since the bats have an int and eyesight, they should be effected fully

Lucrezia will swap places as Faelyn asks and then toss a bead over everyones head.

Aiming for D22 I think, trying to get both swarms but not us too much if possible.
throw attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
damage 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3) = 12

Edit: Dex for fumbling a bead? 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Reflex save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

swarm 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

The spell does not have an impact on the first swarm that was attacking Grimm.

swarm 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The second swarm is effected, it has blindsense, but it is blinded/stunned for stunned: 1d4 ⇒ 4, then stunned an additionally 6 seconds.

Lucrezia will swap places as Faelyn asks and then toss a bead over everyones head.

Aiming for D22 I think, trying to get both swarms but not us too much if possible.
throw attack 1d20+10
damage 3d6

Edit: Dex for fumbling a bead? 1d20+3
Reflex save 1d20+9

Hmmmmmm, I haven't had an area effect item fumbled in this game yet. You made the save, so it did not drop at your feet. You managed to push the bead forward a bit but it doesn't hit your intended area. 1d8 ⇒ 5. It lands at D21 and Grimm takes the damage, his fire resistance eating up some of the burn.

Andrea casts Magic Circle Against Evil on Orsin (+2 AC/Saves protect against mental effects 10' radius)

Done

Hmmmmmm, I haven't had an area effect item fumbled in this game yet.

Yay for me. I did a first for the game. :)

Did the swarm around Grimm take some damage too? It looks like part of the swarm is between him and D21 where you said it landed?

Rd1:

Swarm 1 pushes into Faelyn's area, take your AoO, and it begins to bite at him. damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6, plus 1 bleed per round. DC10 heal check.
You need a fortitude save or your nauseated.

John and Griim needed to roll fort save also from the surprise round.

Grimm since you did not try the Heal check from the surprise you get another 1 pt of damage.

AOO +1 Silver Dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Faelyn swings at the swarm as it surrounds him.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Please back up!

HP: 44/50

Lucrezia - The swarms is not adjacent.

Andrea will start backing up after casting on Orsin.

The tunnel is packed pretty tightly with adventurers and thousands of bats flying into the tunnel, molding and shaping themselves to the contours of the passage. Zizmort should feel comfortable with his cousins..

Lucrezia - The swarms is not adjacent.

Isn't fireball a 20' spread?

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

yes it is, I was looking at the splash weapon template and going off that. Faelyn that 20 ft radius checks you, so make a reflex save.

Here is an updated map.

Edit: its a DC14 reflex save for half damage.

Wouldn't the bats be hit by it too?

Swarm reflex saves vs fire damage.

swarm 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
swarm 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Both are significantly injured but they are still buzzing around.

Wouldn't the bats be hit by it too?

give me a few moments to type.

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
