Round Two

Truk continues gripping his holy symbol and snaps his fingers

A clap of thunder erupts in the room buffeting both swarms.

Sound Burst Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

There shouldn't be any problem positioning it to hit both swarms without clipping any party members.

If they're still alive they need a DC 14 Fort save vs stunned.

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 moved up to D25, cast color spray. effect Swarm 2. Swarm 1 attacked for 6HP.

Lucrenzia - fumbled a fireball bead but still managed to impact swarms for 12 HP of damage each. Grimm and Fealyn each ahve save to make for half damage.

Andrea - magic circle on Orsin
bat swarm 1 - took 12 Hp of damage from fireball, attacked Faelyn for 6 Hp of damage.

Fluer - backs up 30 feet.
bat swarm 2 - stunned
Orsin - inspire courage.

Truk -
John -
Faleyn

Lucrenzia -

Andrea -
bat swarm 1 -

Fluer -
bat swarm 2 -
Orsin -

Those effected with the bleed damage get to make another DC 10 heal check.

I'm still waiting on reflex save from Grimm for the 12 HP of fire damage. He, also, has 5 resistance. Grimm needs fort save or he is distracted/nauseated from the bites.

With Truk's well placed sound burst both swarms are destroyed.

Channel #1: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12

After the swarms are destroyed, Truk channels Shelyn's light to mend the injured folks.

"Let's get into that summoning room."

HP 50/50

Thank you Truk!

"Don't mention it Champ."

"Where do you suppose those things came from?"

As you move towards the summoning chamber. there is another high pitched sound coming down hallway. Lucrezia and Truk get an AoO.

Edit:
forgot Andrea
Andrea: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11

"Don't mention it Champ."

"Where do you suppose those things came from?"

No doubt those dark spirits are ready for us

Nobody in the party has anything that can hurt the swarms on an AoO.

Well it's Faelyn turn then.

Faelyn 5 foots to D21 and casts colorspray again (if the creature is another bat swarm)

DC 17 Will-I hit a couple party members.

will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

The swarm is stunned/blind,1d4 ⇒ 3, then 1 round.

As the bats fall stunned on the floor, Faelyn calls out to Fluer. Burn them with your alchemist fire!

Pearl of Power used

Pearl of Power used

How many color sprays do you have prepped.

The bats are stunned, not unconscious. so they are fluttering around in the air.

One.

One.

You've cast it twice now, with this casting. Do you have scroll or wand?

Edit: I see you used a pearl of power.

Pardon me Lucrezia, Fluer and I need your alchemist fires Andrea will get Lucrezia's Alchemist Fire vial if allowed and splash the swarm with it, 5' stepping to E-22

Touch attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 241d6 ⇒ 3 +50% is 4 points,

Andrea - Lucrezia is surrounded by bats, to try to fish out her alchemist fire from her backpack, is move action. If you don't know where its kept it will take a full round to retrieve.

A swarm of bats consists of 5000 since they are flying and diminutive. it is basically a wall of flying creatures, I don't really think you can throw the alchemist fire through them, in order to try to avoid splashing your companions.

Very well, scratch that. Andrea casts Resist Fire on herslef then

Anyone have something to kill these?

Reist Fire: 20 pts 70 minutes.

Since Truk knows Lucrezia quite biblically, I think it's safe to say he knows where she stashes the alchemist fire.

Truk helps himself to one of Lucrezia's alchemist fires and lets it fly at the bats swarming around him.

"Watch out Beautiful, this is going to sting."

This will splash Lucrezia and Truk for 1 damage.

Attack vs Stunned Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 - 4 total

I would think it would be a pile of bats passed out on the floor. The can't fly can they?

Truk's attack hits the stunned swarm.

Bats fly stunned, theya re just flapping in place instead of biting

fluer yells out to get through the door while they are stunned. She doesn't have any alchemist fire to use.

Excellent idea Fleur! Through the door into the summoning room!

Bats fly stunned, theya re just flapping in place instead of biting

Being stunned they can't take an action, so they aren't biting although you would think they would be nipping at everything.

As far as Faelyn thinking they would be flopping on the ground, if they were under 2 HD they would be as color spray would have that penalty. But the stunned condition doesn't say that. Besides Truk and Lucrezia would basically be buried by 5000 bats, and we have to get into the suffocation rules then.

I believe it's because stunned creatures can't take actions and a flying creature has to make fly check to hover in place.

Initiative:

Faelyn - cast color spray
Swarm - stunned
John
Fluer - yells open door
Andrea - moves up 5ft and fishes out alchemist fire from Lucrezia's pack
Lucrezia
Orsin
Grimm
Truk - pulls out an alchemist fire from Lucrezia back throws it down.

Sorry. Since they have a fly speed and ranks in fly, I figured they had to "take an action" to fly or hover (since they have no magical way to fly). The also have a land speed. Thank you for clarifying.

I see your and Truk's point so Truk and Lucrezia can take d6 of crushing damage and we can begin the suffocation rules. 1d6 ⇒ 6 As the two adventurers are buried alive under the weight of bats.

And that people, is why we shouldn't nitpick with the DM.

Suffocation?! That's a lot of bats.

I wasn't nitpicking. I was just answering a question. It didn't make a difference to me either way.

And that people, is why we shouldn't nitpick with the DM.

I asked a question. That is not nit picking. I thought we all had the ability to communicate with each other to understand what is happening. I am sorry I asked. It won't happen again.

You all made valid point that the bat needs to hover using its wings.

Over 5000 bats make up a swarm. Falling from the air, thumping down on two of you. Your basically in solid wall of flutter, now still, wings.

I was Joking really, I didn't add my smile emoticon.

Andrea will set the batpile on fire with the batfire when her turn comes around.

What is a little 2nd degree burn between friends? ;)

The crushing damage is understandable but suffocation? Since the swarm is large and we're only in one corner wouldn't it be ~1250 bats? Also, John and Grimm were in a swarms that were killed last time. Wouldn't they be buried under dead bats?

Is it a strength check or something to unbury ourselves?

Only one swarm was stunned last time. The swarm not being able to fly was not brought up. By the time both swarms died neither John nor Grimm were in the swarm, they each moved.

I need to see if there is burying rules.

I found this:

A buried character can attempt to free himself with a DC 25 Strength check. That under rock, so let the check be DC18

It's not going to matter because the swarms are going to come to before either Truk or Lucrezia run out of breath.

Can we just keep moving?

I'll DMPC John's action and have him open the door directly in front of him.

Truk rages at the silliness of being buried under bats and pulls himself out.

Rage #1

Strength Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

The bats continue to burn.

Followup Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Truk we are still in Rd 1. Technically, you guys were buried before you could get the alchemist fire out. I don't really want to recon that action though....I'd like to move it forward.

Okay, that'll be round 2 than.

Round 2
str check? 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Lucrezia will also attempt to free herself from the mound of bats that she currently finds herself under.

Well, I suppose this is better than spiders...

Unless your are staying out of the room to fight the swarm, we can assume that you make it into the room.

The swarm will take the 6 follow-up damage and in the third round another 1d6 ⇒ 2 of damage.
