Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

I'd like to see where it gets our enemies. With bull's strength while raging Torgue could probably treat a human being like a baseball.

"It will not take me long to make use of them, that is true."

Cireladwen says, her voice seemingly calculating.
And I am pretty awesome. Desna, I may not have a lot of skills, but I love what I do.
She takes a long breath, looking back outside in what appears to be deep thought.
Brôg's jam will be most horrifying. I hope I am not privy to the stench. It would take a very long time to wash out. If it ever does. Come to think of it, his natural musk burns the nostrils, too. Perhaps a bath. From what I see, I may be able to convince him if alcohol is somehow involved.

He took a bath when he lept into the water to fight the Chuul.

That is not a proper bath! Though I am sure it was an improvement on the hygiene front.
Cireladwen squints and points to the southern dune.
"There are two men. Enemies, I assume."

The gnoll, focus your fire. All of you...

You had 22 or 23 rounds to take whatever you wanted. If it's a limited time item (like bull str), you can take it on your turn.

RD 1: enforcers

Two men with light crossbows pop up from behind a sand dune and release their bolts at Cirelandwen.

bolt: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

bolt: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The only person who has a line of sight on the enemy is Cirelandwen since she stayed as lookout at the cave opening.

Cireladwen - I know you are flat footed and both shots would hit you, but only one does, since you have +2 cover with the cave opening.

Thanks!Great mothers and fathers! THAT HURT! Ach! What a cheap shot!

Despite the screaming in her mind, Cireladwen just gives a quick pained grunt and looks back at the party, a bolt sticking out of her shoulder.
"Hmmm... Yeah, enemies."

"Torgue, go get 'em", Chell says happily as she casts her spell. The barbarians muscles bulge once again with divine strength. Anything that stands in his way will not stand for long.

Bull's Strength on Torgue. Keep wand out.

Mmmm..This feels pretty good! Rawr! *Insert Hulk-out*

It's clobbering time! - Ben Grimm, The Ever Lovin' Thing

Sorrin turns to the captives. Deep in the cave!

We shouldn't hole in the cave so much, if they got spell-slingers, they can burn us out.

We're not holing, they are.

Will start inspire courage next round when more people are in range for the damages or we actually see Bonegnaw. 5 rounds of it left, want to make it count.

Round 1

Astrianna looks at Cir with surprise, and then annoyance at the continued assault. "MORE crossbowmen?" Growling, she begins to run out of the cave, uncasing her bow. She yells back to the prisoners. "Stay here! We'll be back!"

Running across the beach she gets behind a sand dune. "Mellon, cover over here!" She yells before popping up to fire an arrow off at one of the annoying crossbow users.

Move action: 25' move to I32, into soft cover?

Standard Action: Longbow attack on crossbow P38

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Well, technically, we're holing and the crossbowmen aren't. Their friends are probably holing though. There. Good compromise.

Cireladwen nods to Astrianna, ready to run to a position behind her.
Want to see about these... 'special friends'.

Sorrin was instructing the captives. You're a bickering lot. Let it go...

@Baldwin - Is everything difficult terrain? Where might WEB work, the spell? Thanks!

I'm not considering the beach difficult terrain; there are a few rubble tokens on the map like N:40 and O:38, these are the dunes of sand that offer +2 cover and those areas are difficult terrain.

Web can anchor to the cliff wall or cave opening, but the area on the beach is quite open so it's hard an anchor for the other end.

I've always thought the web spell was poorly designed with the anchoring requirements.

Astri your shot hits and I:32 will give you +2 cover from O:40, and anyone in the cave, but not from P:38

Sorrin and the others can go. You don't know about what the special friends and bonegnaw is doing.

RD 1 Updated Map

How do you use a smokestick, mechanic wise?

I don't recall using one before but it looks pretty simple from the description. Move action to draw it, standard action to light it. The smoke fills the area with smoke which acts like fog.

Depending on what happens, may use a Grease around the area of the cave entrance next turn. Waiting for Sorrin and Torgue to close in first.

Sorrin takes a potion, which he's been holding and retrieves a smokestick.

Shield of Faith, +2 AC.

I would consider any beach difficult terrain. Running in the sand sucks.

And I am sad about the anchoring for Web. I still got one unused, but the terrain isn't cooperating with my using my using it.

Unable to get to the men with her hexes yet, Bri decides to tap the new elf with her cure wand to help deal with the arrow she just took.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Cireladwen moves to H33, aiming her her bow after situating herself behind a dune. She shoots her lit arrow.

@ P38 Attack:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Miss? 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 damage.

yeah, I live near the beach and running on the sand can be difficult, but this encounter is tough enough for the party, so there is not need to add yet another layer of frustration for the group.

Cir arrow missed.

RD 2 Map

RD 2 enforcers

1 Astri, 2 Cir, 3 torgue, 4 capt, 5 jenkie
random: 1d5 ⇒ 4
random: 1d5 ⇒ 5

the enforces fire their crossbows taking aim at the men on the galley.

@capt
att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

@ Jenkie
att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

a bolt rips through the captain's leather piercing his shoulder.

Cireladwen readies another two arrows after murmuring what Embrianna can assume is a "thank you" in elven. She eyes her target and inhales.

Attack, Rapidshot at P38: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 Fumble:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 No fumble!
Attack, Rapidshot: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Daño:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Her first arrow slips from her fingers due to perspiration, but the second flies with typical grace.

The elf archer's arrow whizzes through the air the air with precision, striking the enemy in his side.

Round 2

Astrianna peeks around her cover and concentrates on the crossbow of one of the men shooting at them, covering it in a sopping coating of buttery grease.

Standard action: Cast Grease on crosbowman's O40 crossbow, DC 15 reflex save now and every round it's used, failure is drop item.

O:40
reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

rd 2: friends and bonegnaw you don't know what if anything they are doing.

The rest of you can take you actions.

Sorrin! Let us start moving up!

Just waiting for Sorrin.

Sorrin moves out of the cave and directly south, moving through dunes by the shore to arrive beside a crossbowman.

How's it going? What are ya' gonna do, right?

Q37. Scimitar/smokestick in each hand.

Torgue doublemoves to M-35

Are you lighting the smokestick?

No Sir. Just stating its location. Took double move.

Perception, hiding/trap +2?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

RD 2: Capt/Jenkie

@capt
att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

@ Jenkie
att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20;damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Jenkie arrow hits agian.

Chell and Bri have rd 2 actions.

Chell scrambles around Cir and behind Astrianna, making for the dunes. She gets to the water's edge behind the dead Chull and goes prone.

Do nothing else for now. Not until Bonegnaw shows up. But cover plus prone should mean +6 to AC from ranged attacks.

Oh, hey there big fella... What's your name? Torgue, you say you can get big?

Yep, I can get large and in charge.

Can Bri double move up to the boat where Jenkie and the Captain are on? I figure they may need healing soonish.

Bri you can double move and get to near the ship, but you also remember that the capt had a few healing potions, and you probably think the folks on the beach will need the healing more.
