Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Remembers to kiss Phem... It's alright, love.

Looking a little battered them Phem. Potion?

Daniel continues to eye the man coldly. He would remove his thumb were he the only one here. Thank fully his allies were of a similar heart to him and were prepared to be merciful. He prayed this thief would not make them pay for their kindness later.

When we are done, this organization could well be yours, Gerard. I hope this man could prove worthy of your kindness.

Euphemia lets the kiss be a light thing momentarily, but then suddenly lunges for a moment of surprising passion to check that Gerard is still on top of his game. Once thusly satisfied, she makes her basic intonation and places her right palm on the rogue's head.

The guidance aforementioned.
This done, she blinks at Andrea.
She is, in fact, at 53.
"This is mostly superficial, but it would still be beneficial for me to partake. Thank you."

And we've all gained like a bajillion potions since then, too. I have to remember if we've gained any of the least potent variety. CLW.

Yep, gained two from the two hangmen. Chugalug one down.

Clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Euphemia quickly quaffs the liquid from a phial and blinks at its potency.

I hope Frank is ok, there is one for him as well if need be.

Edit: Between improved evasion and your earlier channel, he's fine.
An unscathed Frank, feeling only a little empathic pull, yawns from his position hugging Andrea's left ankle.
We must give thanks to Sinishakti that we have yet been spared today, Mistress. I would be obliged if you would remind me to remind you.

Euphemia flares her nostrils and smiles.
Ah. That is not how reminders are supposed to function, Frank.
"He's fine, Andrea, albeit a bit silly."

Andrea smiles. We must get him something special when we can. Perhaps a new bed and magically refreshing food bowl.

I was assuming if you all took as many potions in that 30 to 60 minutes of time to get yourselves up to 100% health. Daniel your strength, if you had any remaining loss, would have come back in that time period.

Gerard and Phem release each other, the the rogue turns to head down the stairs. Daniel swaying eagerly to follow..

Stairs descend from the upper floor to this chamber holding two tables and a scattering of chairs. A single brazier smolders in one corner, giving off only minimal light and doing little to cover the reek of curdled milk and unwashed bodies that fills the chamber.

Gerard I noted your 27 perception check but can you make stealth check for me?

Daniel and Andrea since your next in order to descend make perception and steath check for me.

Stealth, guidance: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 19 + 1 = 38

Haven't been keeping track, have both variety of dark folk been caught flat-footed by Gerard, previously? And therefore susceptible to sneak damage?

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Andrea's increasingly sharp eyes might pick out something.

Stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (11) - 3 = 8
CLANK CLANK CLANK

Euphemia doesn't immediately follow, but does quietly put a hand to her forehead in exasperation.

Gerard what you have faced so far you've been able to catch them FF.

Gerard has a surprise round action. Give me a few minutes to get a map up.

MAP Surprise Round

Stepping to get a bead on the leader... (5ft to K12).

Gerard's blade strikes home.

Looks like I forgot to add one to the map, so I'm just dropping him from this battle.

RD 1

Confirming critical:

daggers, TWF, Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25;damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I need a fort save DC 15 for each one that hits

Gerard's hit by DC1, atk2... Any poison? Did they create darkness? What's the point of googles if they ain't dark? LOL. Gerard skips the AoO, focusing on the leader.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Gerard steps between the creepers, towards the leader.

atk, mith dagger +1, wf, pbs, aff, rapid, vs flat-footed: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 31

dmg, dist dagger +2, pbs, aff, sneak: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 5d8 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 + (2, 4, 1, 3, 4) = 21

Gerard draws 2 AoOs (range atk from threatened square), does 90hp additional damage on leader. Also, they can't flank Gerard, but the one attack hit his AC26, no crit. 5hp damage to Gerard.

The Reflex, as needed: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

No darkness yet...caught them by surprise this round. The poison does not effect you. IC they did not know they could not flank you.

AOO:

daggers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19;damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

daggers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31;damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Euphemia

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Make way for the paladin train, Toot! Toot!

Euphemia enters the room at the hind if allowed and simply glares at one of the dark creepers if they remain, willing its head to pop off or something.
Evil Eye hex on whatever's left. DC 20 negates the penalty to attack rolls.

The paladin seeing his ally in peril, as usual simply charges to -k 10 and smashes down.

IMOEDAE!

Charge, Flank, PA: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 39
2 Hand PA: 1d8 + 3 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 6 + 9 = 26

2 Hand PA: 1d8 + 3 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 6 + 9 = 26

He swings with such force he almost cleaves the Dark rogue in two.

Reflex vs explosion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Azreal simply follows right behind the paladin and seeing the remaining enemy, teleports to -I 12 to provide a flank for Gerard.

Orsin moves to -K,9, following up behind Daniel, and begins to inspire courage.

Andrea stays put, allowing Euphemia to pass if she wishes since there is a clog of allies on the stairs.

Daniel's action destroys the first foe which explodes in a ball of flame casuing,

damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

DC 14 Reflex for anyone within 15 feet.

daggers, TWF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12;damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The poison on the blades has been either scrapped off or rubbed off now, so not more fort saves.

Confirming Critical:

daggers, TWF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10;damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Azreal takes 11 HP of damage for the dark creture.

Pick on the Archon... How rude.

Gerard punishes his flanked opponent.

atk1, dist dagger +2, wf, aff, inspire, flank: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 27
dmg, dist dagger +2, aff, inspire, sneak: 1d4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5d8 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + 2 + (2, 8, 3, 2, 5) = 26

atk2, dist dagger +2, wf, aff, inspire, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 28

The creature explodes with Gerard's attack,

damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Reflex save DC 14 for Gerard, Azreal, Daniel (you owe 2 saves actually).

save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

DR for Azreal apply? DR 10/evil

Should do. 1 hp from the blades and ref for damage
Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 (5 damage)
Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 (4 damage)

Azreal:
Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 (8 Damage)

I don't think DR would apply with the explosion. Although I could be wrong.

DR does not apply to energy damage

Gerard killed hte creature that Daniel was to attack so I'm moving him to -J,12 and he will attack -K,13

He hits for 26 points of damage on -K,13. The creature is still up.

UPdated Map

Is Azreal going to act?

Remainder of RD 2 actions:

Andrea hears and sees the explosions going on downstairs. How is everyone? Come back to me if you are hurt!

Fall Villain

there is an explosion,

explosion, DC 14 Reflex save: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Gerard, Daniel, Azreal

The room is a scorched mess now that the darkcreepers have exploded. The reek of filth fills the room, there are tables and a scattering chairs which are scorched now. There is nothing of value in the room.

just what were those things? I don't recognize them as any undead or planar being.

Updated Map

Your examination of the room reveals only one door which is on the south wall.
