Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Round 4

Assuming Chell will busy elsewhere, Sorrin focuses on the immediate threat.

atk1, scimitar, wf, inspired: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 33
dmg1, scimitar, inspired: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
atk2, scimitar, wf, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19
dmg2, scimitar, inspired: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14

sorrin blade flashes as he hacks at his enemy. the gatorman is wounded but still fighting.

Do Astri and Torgue get AoO's on the rat swarm as it moves through their squares?

In order to attack, a swarm moves into an opponent’s space, which provokes an attack of opportunity. A swarm does not threaten creatures in its square and cannot make attacks of opportunity with its swarm attack. A swarm made up of Tiny creatures takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons.

Rats are Tiny, so you can full-damage crush them Torgue!!

Round 4

As the rats swarm up the pillar Astrianna sees The Caller beginning to cast another spell. Not wanting to face something a swarm of anything bigger than a rat, she acts reflexively and drops her sword into the water to free a hand for spellcasting.

fortitude save vs filth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Close.

"Torgue! Some help with these vermin?" She yells, before noticing the wet raven hair that had slipped from her hat was now curving upward in front of her.

reflex save vs lightning: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Wow. This +1 cloak of resistance is doing some work today!

Lightning! Is her only thought that passes through her mind as she grabs her cloak and covers herself with it, the thundering blast merely scorching her thanks to the garment's magical properties.

The vermin that were not blasted are already digging into her boots and causing the bard to clench her teeth in pain. She unfurls her cloak and begins speaking quiet arcane words of power.

Free action: Drop longsword, continue inspire courage (7/16)

Full round action: Cast Silence on H 11-12 I 11-12 center point, 20ft radius effect. Begins next turn, no saving throw, cannot use spells with vocal components, lasts 6 rounds.

Caster level check DC 22, casting inside swarm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Phew what a turn. The dice gods are smiling upon me though.

which one is the Caller.

You can AOO

Chell the swan boat and human cage blocks your LOS. Remember the cage is above your boat. He is in I:9.

Not the one gnawing on your leg... Heehee. He was to the left of the web, barely touching. Should be on an outcropping over there now.

Torgue

Safe. For now. Even with an alligator still threatening her she lets out a sigh of relief. Her eyes pop open and her hair stands on end as there is a deafening boom. Lightning? He has Lightning? And it looked like hers. That meant there was more coming. She cursed under her breath for not preparing the same spell so she could retaliate. Astri was already being menaced by the swarm and didn't need the added threat of lightning. She had gotten good at keeping the alligator at bay and moved around it to see the caller. Her eyes glaze over as she called on Quell's power. She thrusts her hand forward and a fog explodes around the caller from the water nearby.

I will take the AoO to move to H19 or I19 and within line of sight to the Caller. Then Cast Fog Cloud between us and him. Shouldn't need to cast defensively because I already draw the gator's AoO from the move.

AOO on Chell (It can only take 1 AOO on you in a round)

Alligator:

The bite chomps down trying to munch tasty fresh meat.

Round 4, redux

Leaping from the crumbled stone and splashing through the water in an attempt to get away from the rat swarm, Astrianna manuevers around the trashing croc and brings her sword down on its back. "I see you're not afraid of the crocodiles anymore!" She comments, bloodied but still confident. "The boat is clever! I hope it holds. Everyone else is moving up and around, where are you going?"

She attempts to keep the croc at bay with her cold iron blade. "We could move through the fog and try to surprise that undead- you could disintegrate him with some healing spells!"

Sure you can keep the saves.

I'm going to hold off some to give Bri a chance to post ahead of the gatormen and gators.s

Bri moves up into the room. F19

She will try to sleep the gator next to Chell. dc17

Bri it is difficult terrain so you only have 15 ft of movement. I put you behind Torgue.

will, slumber: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

RD 4: Gatormen and Gators

Determined to carry forth the Caller's Order a gatorman moves to D:13 and hacks a the rope.

axe: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30;damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

A sixth rope is now severed. the weight of the structure increasing the risk ot the other ropes.

20% for ropes snapping: 1d100 ⇒ 19

The sound of a deep whipping sound happens across the way near Chell as 7th rope snaps.

-------
The beast fighting Sorrin attacks with all it's might sensing it's own morality.

slam: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21;damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

tail slap: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25;damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The nimble warrior avoids most but now all of the attacks. (6 HP)

------
The gator that was previously under the webs (he escapped a couple rounds ago) double moves up near Bri. E:21

AOO on Toruge:

torgue moves up to attack the gatorman when jaws of an alligator bite at him.

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

plus grab

CMB v CMD: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

The jaws grab hold but torgue is able to withstand being pulled under the water.

-------

I previously forgot the deaththrow on the dead gatorman (H:21) (last round):

torgue: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

astri: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

rats: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

DC17 reflex for half damage.
rats: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

------
Torgue's hit on the gatorman near Sorrin topples him. the creature goes into the death throws.

sorrin: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

torgue: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

gator: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Reflex 17 for half damage

gator reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

The nimble warrior avoids most but now all of the attacks. (6 HP)

20 HP, the 25 hits. I realized over the weekend that I was over Max Dex Bonus. So, AC 25 with Cat's Grace. Oh the price of honesty and integrity, even in a game!

the reflex, evasion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Astri's attack on the gator last round would have woken it from the slumber.

RD 5 The caller

All you hear is a strange language.

You don't know if he has moved or stayed in the same position.

Any ropes have enough length so that Sorrin could retie them to a closer post?

the blue lines over the ropes is where the cut is located. theoretically, the two that you are between [C:20 and E:21] could be tied to the post at E:20

No weapon, no AoO from me. No point either. Swarms are immune to weapon damage.

Leaping from the crumbled stone and splashing through the water in an attempt to get away from the rat swarm, Astrianna manuevers around the trashing croc and brings her sword down on its back. "I see you're not afraid of the crocodiles anymore!" She comments, bloodied but still confident. "The boat is clever! I hope it holds. Everyone else is moving up and around, where are you going?"

She attempts to keep the croc at bay with her cold iron blade. "We could move through the fog and try to surprise that undead- you could disintegrate him with some healing spells!"

Fort vs Filth Fever: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Chell grunts in effort as she braces against another rush from the alligator. "They are...rather predictable. Wouldn't want to face it without a shield though. Eep." After the rush she is forced to duck under its powerful tail. Good thing she could still breath underwater. Opened up options.

"I do have some high level spells left. Are you sure he was undead?"

Swim: 1d20 + 16 - 4 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 4 - 10 = 21

Chell ducks beneath the water to avoid the rats and moves closer to the group as a whole. She then reaches for the Pearl of Power tied to her belt and draws in its energy, using it to cast a spell she had earlier.

Move to H20 and take the AoO from the gator.

Standard: Use Pearl of Power to cast Bless again. Should be within range of everyone.

Are the rats swimming? Can I avoid them underwater?

Swarms composed of fine and diminutive creatures are immune to weapon damage, tiny ones are not. This is a rat swarm, composed of tiny creatures. Slashing and piercing is half damage, and bludgeoning causes full damage. You can move through swarms and they do not provoke AoO. They should disappear before the beginning of next round unless the Caller has some beefed up Summon Swarm spells.

A swarm does not threaten creatures in its square and cannot make attacks of opportunity with its swarm attack. A swarm made up of Tiny creatures takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons.

Reflex save half damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Astrianna nods as Chell asks about the Caller. "Yes the one with the scythe is clearly undead- possibly a powerful wight."

The half-elf watches Chell dive under the water. "Wait, where are you going?! You're just leaving me here? I could use some healing!" The priest is already underwater by this point, leaving her to deal with the gator and the rat swarm. "Shit."

I learned my lesson last round, I'll wait for everyone else to go. :p

Bri moves up beside Astri and uses her heal hex on her. "Try harder not to die.

"I wish we could see that damn caller."

Move to F,20 and Heal Astri

hh/cmw: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13

You already broke its back. I bet the alligator is one shot away from death. And I have no weapons out. Also I did not see you were at 13, sorry.

Oh I was just rping it's fine! She's wasn't going to go in the negatives unless that gator gets really lucky.

Astrianna was in the middle of complaining when Bri came by and restored some vitality to her. "Ah! Thank you Bri... That undead had it out for me. We can't see what it's up to but we can handle whatever it throws at us."

Greatclub secondary: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 241d10 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Chell so you are going to stay inside the swarm by moving only to H:20 or did you want to go to G:20? As far as the avoiding the rats underwater I think that will depend on depth that you go. There are thousands climbing and swimming on each other gasping for air, so the water is thick with them right now. If you were maybe 7-10 feet below the surface i'd say you could avoid them but the water depth here is not that deep.

Chell casts bless.

Astri normally I'm not that much of a stickler but this is the grand finale and most of the critters are intelligent.

RD 5: Gators and Gatormen

The gatorman moves five feet and hacks at the 8th rope,

axe: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

dice=20% snapping chance: 1d100 ⇒ 2

The axe slices through one rope then the weight snaps a second rope.

As loud humming sound can be heard near the north end of the temple and the fog cloud, then suddenly horror strikes as two large swarms of wasp sweep around towards the group.

I only moved them 40 feet, I figured I'd prolong your misery for bit:-).

Anyone with know religion can make an check.

I've already taken the action and put up the map but I forgot Atri held her action. Go ahead and act. I still need to take the Rats RD 6 action but if Astri kills them, i won't need to post that.

How high is the ceiling in here?

Better question, how far apart are the two swarms?

Basically, I want to know if i can Fireball them together.

Sorry, forgot to take my action last night.

This is going to be a glorious fireball or burning hands Bri!

Take 10 Knowledge: religion 10+9 = 19

As the loud buzzing begins Astrianna perks up and looks around to find the source of the new, threatening sound. She recoils in horror at the sight of the massive wasp swarm. "The Savored Sting, my Mercurial Lady Calistria, deliver me from your chosen Pets, so my Sting may find others Deserving instead." The half-elf says a prayer to herself, and hopes Calistria takes some favor to her today. Mainly favor against a swarm of deadly wasps.

That session with Thalios Dondrel had to have garnered some kind of otherworldly attention from the goddess!

Bri the swarms are touching. the different swarms are touching.

Ooooo a magic staff. If I can't get underneath them then yes , move to G20. Is the alligator finally dead?

Hopefully the gator is dead!

Astrianna realizes the insect plague summoned in front of them is an advanced form of clerical prayer... The scythe wielded by the wight could be a powerful magical item. "These wasps are a magical Insect Plague, Chell should be familiar with the prayer. I suspect the source is the wight's scythe... It should be disarmed as soon as possible." The next time I see on that bastard I'll make it drop the staff.

Round 6

fort vs filth fever: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Another pair of snaps caused Chell to wince as the cage and boat sank lower. The boat would last for 24 hours but she wasn't sure it could hold that much weight. Of more dire concern was the caster in the back. He might just decide that if he couldn't sacrifice them, he might as well kill them out of spite. Time to go distract him then. "I am going to distract the caster." As the only one left mostly unharmed and in armor she was the only one capable of holding it off until they finished off the wasps and the last gatorman. One last time she musles through the swarm of swimming rats, it was odd how they didn't bother here so much right now, and moved through the fog. Once she foundhim she would dismiss it.

Double move to I14. If you allow it I would like to dismiss the fog once I close in on the caster.

Affects: Shield of Faith AC 24

Can Sorrin reach a rope and climb/ ropemaster atop the cage?

Astrianna doesn't approve, but she doesn't stop the priestess. "Be careful Chell, you don't want to end up like the warrior in the sinkhole..."

No dex or con dam if you make the save.

Can Sorrin reach a rope and climb/ ropemaster atop the cage?

some of them you could reach and climb easily enough.

The screaming is magnified by the panicked sacrificial lambs dangling in the cage of death.

Complicated situation, leaving it to DM license to decide how he has to move and through what, swarms and what not. Objective is to use rope master to move as quickly as possible to the cage.
