Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

The Dawnflower heard the battle cry as Sorrin's blade strikes three times and finds a little extra force behind it.

RD 5:

Dinetta -
Jalang -
Chell -
Astri -

Sorrin -

Dinetta I'll get your RD 4 results up in the next post along with a revised map.

RD 5: Dinetta Results

Dinetta dashes and jabs at the Jalang imposter. To her great surprise she hits but not before she gets hit.

AOO: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41;damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 4) + 19 = 29;cold: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Confirm Crit:

AOO: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43;damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 1) + 19 = 21

A harsh reality strike home.

RD 5 Map

EDIT - I totally forgot the Debilitating Injury ability of the unchained rogue, partially since I errantly thought that the strike would miss and partially since this is my first rogue.

Debilitating Injury (caused by sneak damage) -- cause -2 on attacks for 1 round (-4 vs Dinetta)

-----
Dinetta curses, blood flowing from the huge hole that has suddenly appeared in her side:
Could use some healing here, or there will be nothing left to heal.

HP: 16/81 <-- with her AC, I really did not expect a confirmed crit, ouch.
AC33 <-- was off by 1 before, apparently I don't know how to add (unfortunately does not help with the insane rolls Baldwin had)
--> Debilitating Injury causes a -4 on attacks vs Dinetta (-2 vs Sorrin)

Active Effects:
Haste: +1 AC, +1 ref, +30 speed, one extra attack. (6 rounds left)
Abundant Ammunition: Silver Arrows (9 minutes)

Inspire Courage: +2 attack, +2 damage
AC 22

Astrianna stand between the hybrid and Chell, attempting to protect the priestess. She takes a hit to the shoulder that nearly causes her hat to fall off, stepping back as far as she can from the beast before unloading a seemingly infinite number of arrows into it. "Damn, they're going to burn down the whole docks at this rate. Kill them!"

Free action:Maintain Inspire Courage (20/25)

5' step towards Chell

Full-round action:Rapid shot on nearest wereshark, if it dies any shots are re-directed to Jalang imposter. Will probably provoke an AoO due to reach.

Looks like chell needs to make a dash go heal.

I'll get Jalang (imposter) act up in the morning.

Astri gets three shots into the nearest werebeast - killing it - thus, clearing a route for Chell to their companions. Her last arrow strikes Jalang, but he still looks ready to decapitate his opponents.

You've got guts, halfling. The proof is in your actions, and... they're starting to peek out.

Sorrin chuckles, is grim humor the only thing keeping his body from responding to instinct and fleeing.

You LEAVE HER ALONE... CHUM!

Blood and spittle escape the corner of man's mouth, from the effort it takes to shout. But, it does not dull the glint in his eye nor does it diminish the loud chuckle to follow.

RD 5: Jalang Imposter

"Dinner that's what you are." The foul werebeasts replies as his greatsword arcs upward and across Sorrin.

att1: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38;damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 4) + 19 = 29;cold\: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"But you're blood is not enough to quench my thirst."

att2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23;damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 1) + 19 = 23;cold\: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"and when I'm done with you, I'll gnawl on her tiny bones."

He'll only take two of his three attacks.

The sound of battle continues to flood the docks and there's a brief respite for a whooping cheer to develop. As a bloodied Major Roland Lawrence breaks through line to get to the docks. "Hang on!"

Farther off two other pockets of chaos start to collapse on itself as Father Zalen leads a small repelling force. And a tultian clutch puts down another beast.

Updated RD 5 Map
Blue haloed token is Major Roland.

The huge blade cuts across his abdomen, chipping breastplate and drawing blood. The cut, leaving behind a cold rime, a death frost.

Breathing shallowly, The Osprey focused on that pain. Pain... can be a fulcrum.

In a softer tone, nearly intimate... ...seems I've got guts, too...

Uncle. Protect the people, if I don't return. Hear me.

Sorrin grits his teeth, keeping his broken body standing by force of will.

Chell is up.

YOU...

Sorrin is ready to die, but not before the monstrosity before him.

The battle was starting to go badly for them really fast. Somehow she managed to send one wereshark away but one was fighting Astrianna and one was closing in from the side. Fires raged around the town and their own crew was fighting for their lives. The battle on the pier was turning bloody and it seemed most of the blood was coming from Dinetta and Sorrin. They needed help but were too far for any healing spells.

Hoping someone handles the wereshark on her left, Chell leaps over the freshly fallen enemies with hasted speed and raises her holy symbol high. Healing energy washes over all the combatants except for those unworthy of its grace.

Channel Energy: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 4, 5) = 18

Move 60 south and channel. Moving far enough so none of the fallen sharkmen are in the radius. I can only selectively ignore two targets. Not much but best I can do for now.

Hang in there Sorrin!

Aye aye on the perception check.

perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

I'll get post up when I get home this evening. I've been thinking about this one for awhile, it should please Astri but make Chell's flesh crawl.

Oooohhhh now you've got me excited!

RD 5: Chell recap

The panicked healer weaves through the bodies, her conscience troubling her, so much to worry about: commoners, property damage, the city, her companions and the list goes on. The weight of the civilization on her caring shoulders. As she bobs in and around the unclean bodies he sends for a healing rush that warms Dinetta and Sorrin.

Astri shakes her head, the hybrid must've hit her hard, for she is surely lightheaded and seeing things. Is that a naked peacock riding a shark in the distance? She shakes her head, Could just be the after effects of bad wine...perhaps. Then the faint sound of song rolls over the water...

♫ ♪"Oh now listen to my jaunty tale,
of the Son of Mordekai!

He traveled the seas in search of tail,
the man would leave no skirt dry!

♫ I saw him once fight with-out a sword
plumb nude, he was, while on-board.♪♫

RD 5: Enforcers

To Astri's left the hybrid's approach. One gets within his reach and swipes with claw,

claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

He shreds some more flesh.

Sorrin strikes hard and the raging hybrid gushes blood but he is still up.

RD 6 Map

*Jalang's imposter is a bloody mess.

Dinetta gritting her teeth from the massive gash that now cuts across her neck and chest, just missing her jugular on the last blow, responds to Sorrin's goading.

THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL.

And with that, her blades once more flash forth.

Blessing of Fervor - extra attack

Attack-rapier: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + (5, 3, 2, 5) = 25

Attack-rapier-iterative: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + (1, 4, 1, 3) = 19

Although not super accurate, her blows land finding the most vulnerable spots on the monster man-shark.

Debilitating Injury - -2 attacks (-4 vs Dinetta)

Last guy that needs it, but... Did you fumble? d20+dex...

With his dying breath he stammers, "Fools, D...Dalang Jalamar will destroy you! Show these infidels the blood of the night of the shark." He collapses, his frosty great sword rattling on the weathered wooden deck.

Last guy that needs it, but... Did you fumble? d20+dex...

It's ok she killed him with the first strike. Although she should roll in cases she needs to pick up her blade.

Didn't realize you used fumble rules.

Fumble Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Hahahahaha! He's alive!!! And completely naked! AGAIN

Astrianna looks across the docks, dumb-struck. "It's Thalios! HE'S ALIVE!" She nearly shrieks with joy, which turns into an actual shriek as the bard takes another swipe from a were-shark that is clearly not as excited as she is at the return of Port Shaw's most notorious lady killer.

"Damn fish face! Do you not see YOU'RE LOSING? Give up!" A (perhaps childish) curse is flung from her as she steps back and makes the hybrid sprout a few more feathers than it would like to have.

She notices Sorrin and Dinetta finally kill the Jalang imposter, noticing that huge... expensive... greatsword slip from his hands.

Free action: Maintain Inspire Courage (19/25)

Seeing the giant barbarian hybrid fall, Dinetta looks around and sees the hybrid still engaging Astri.

No time to celebrate. More of the vile things need to be eliminated.

Dinetta would have moved if the hybrid went down on the first attack. Not sure how you usually handle this. She would have moved toward Astri and the next hybrid.

Astri hits with two of her arrows. She was obviously distracted by the naked man with a peacock hat on riding a shark.

Chell you are up.

That is indeed flesh-crawlingly disturbing. The destruction of the town is terrible as well.

All the battles and hardships over the last few months had at least one good effect on the priestess turned battle mage. Focus. The dying, the fire, the sharks, the disease, the night of bloody terror. Had she not acquired the experiences she had, she'd probably have panicked and crumbled from sensory overload. Now she was capable of managing several crisis at once. And priority number one was the weresharks still in the vicinity. She focuses on the one closest and conjures a small storm cloud all around it. It hampers its vision and movement, allowing Astrianna a little wiggle room.

Storm Burst vs Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Nonlethal-damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 = 16

Running low on spells. Got a few big ones still saved for the real fight. Move close enough hit with Stormburst. Non-lethal damage. -2 to attacks for a round.

Chell's storm attack hits the hybrid that is closest to Astri.

"Yes, keep m'love standing lil' weather goddess for, I, Thalios Dondrel, son of Mordekai am here. I'm full of verve from my long journey and seek the pleasure of beauty and NAILS on my back. I"M COMIN'." The boisterous man yells. With that he seems to be fighting off a few "other" sharks with small blade.

Suggestion: Take healing potions.

The bloody moon rises over water, the shriek of people on the docks is eardrum piercing as several people begin to feel the uncontrollable curse run through their blood. The victims of the kiss.

See, I thought he was a wereshark, maybe even Jalang himself. I mean spreading infectious disease and calling it a kiss.

Everyone make sure your HP are up to date on your profile line.

Two of Astri's arrows hit home but the creature is still up.

Update RD 6 Map

RD 6: Enforcers

The hybrid fighting Astri presses his attack,

claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

claw 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

While the last another one moves forth eyeing the treacherous librarian.

Updated RD 6 Map

confirming Crit:

claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

the bard's flesh rips open.

Make sure everyone's HPs are up to date.

Initiative Dalang Jalamar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Sorrin and Chell make a perception check. Astri and Dinetta make a perception check at -6.

Sorrin you are up for RD 6. Remember Dinetta put the Imposter down then moved.

Roland's Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Sorrin will move to where he can jump back across and do so. Lansing close enough to step and attack an enemy, later.+27

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Roland looks at the carnage and the halfling dashing to the next conflict, then he points to the imposter. "Boss, er, I'd make sure that one is actually dead...dead." With this suggestion Sorrin you do notice the creature has a shallow breath (he was dying not dead. He has a significant constitution score).

Chell I'll reveal your results once Astri and Dinetta roll their perception.

perception: 1d20 - 6 + 17 ⇒ (16) - 6 + 17 = 27

Perception: 1d20 + 14 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 6 = 14

Dinetta is apparently paying attention to the enforcer in front of her.

Sorrin did you take a healing potion or follow Roland's advice stab the dying Imposter? You have your RD 6 action.

Coup de Gras. Hopefully, good and DEAD. Honestly, the only good wereshark is a dead wereshark.

Even if she was laying naked on the snow would it match the chill that ran up her spin. It made her stomach drop and her bones ache. She turned to see another sharkman coming out of the water. This one though, radiated a malice on par with a demi-god of destruction. She opened her mouth and nothing came out. Not a scream, a warning or even a whimper. The icy grip of fear took a tight hold and refused to let go.

Dinetta and Jalang go first so... This is gonna hurt.
