Big OM's Way of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master Big OM

Round 3

"Be prepared to retreat to the hall in case they try to swarm us as well."

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Randu and Drogan both lays a draugr to rest, while Erodin and Lyrysa finds it to be to much of a challenge.

Adiana quickly moves to draugr to the south dancing around it severing some sinews in the right arm.

She is ready to flank next round.
Attacking defensively SE: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (19) - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

SE 3 dmg., SW 0 dmg., NW 0 dmg.

The Dragur turn its cold lifeless eyes to the warmth of man and Randu is the source of its envy and anger. Fortunately it misses and the great axe causes sparks to fly as it hits the floor.

Attacking Randu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Round 4 begin
Much to the relieve of the chosen of Asmodeus no coffins spills the charges.

Drogan Steps to the south east one again flanking.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Erodin is getting very, very frustrated. Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8; Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10. Can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn.

**Edit** Also, he'll shift to allow someone to help flank.

Randu will attempt to flank a foe, by working with someone and then laying to.

To hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21+2 if he can flank
dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10+1 dmg due to murder trait if he flanks

Round 4

Lyrysa tries again with the cold ray.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Offense wise, I definitely seem lacking right now.

While Drogan and Lyrysa focus on the Draugr closest to them with the aid of Adriana, not much happens as the undead have found some hidden vigor and evades Drogan, however Lyrysa's magic finally freezes something more important than stone. Alas Adriana can't perform a feat of attack like the one she just completed. Erodin steps to Randu's aid but the movement must have pushed his aim off as his sword is wide above the head of the draugr. Randu however lands his strike, severely damaging the columna of their enemy

Adriana attacking defensively: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (14) - 4 = 10

SE 6 dmg., SW 0 dmg., NW 11 dmg.

Attacking Randu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Attacking Drogan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Attacking Erodin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

It makes a great deal of noise as three greataxes strike wood, stone or metal but not the cardinal's chosen.

Round 5 begin

Drogan takes to the beast again looking to put another back to rest.

attack bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

attack morning star: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Power Attack, flank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8; Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10 "Son of a b!%*#!" Erodin is very, very frustrated.

"Heh, now this is an interesting test." Randu admits, and continues to work on the same target hoping to bring it down
As above
To hit:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Alas, he puts far too much power in his attack and misses completely

And yet again, frost. "I think I would prefer the riddles to this."

Ray of frost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Drogans bite tears a shoulder joint asunder while his morning star takes the head clean off, like a child playing ball and stick. Lyrysa and Adriana both turns their attention to the Draugr now closest to them and while Adriana's careful approach get her no where Lyrysa's more offensive approach freezes some of their enemy.

Both Erodin and Randu fail in their attempts to end the unlife of their tormentor.

Both the remaining Draugrs focus on the two men and this time the great axes falls on flesh injuring the two.

Erodin this is bordering on ridiculous now, what have you done to the dice roller?

SW 3 dmg., NW 11 dmg.

Adriana's attack: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (11) - 4 = 7

Attacking Randu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Saving vs. nausea: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Attacking Erodin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Saving vs. nausea: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Round 6 begin

Round 6

Erodin winces as the great axe cleaves into him. "'Roight you cheeky bastard - time ta give some o that back ta ya." Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17; Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13. Okay, that had better hit!

Randu doesn't make a sound as he's clipped by his foe beyond a very low grunt. Instead, he stays focused and hopes he can take him down before the other does him.

to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"I could use some healing," He confesses

Round 6

Nearly beginning to curse the undead, Lyrysa unleashes another attack of ice. "If I could help in that regard, I would Randu."

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Note to self, Infernal Healing.

I am waiting on Drogan to post, let me know if I missed it.
Randu, how about having Adriana heal you instead of attacking defensivly this turn and providing flanking?

Yeah have Adriana heal, my channeling heals evil so it will heal the undead as well. Will heal up after we get these last two.

Seeing Erodin finally make contact Drogan offers some aid to Randu.

walk to the one on Randu and bite.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I will heal all of us after we bring them down.

I wouldn't object Big OM

Erodin's blade finally cleave through bone and not air severing what connection his attacker had to unlife and collapses before him. This frees Randu to move to the only remaining opponent and end his unlife after Drogan and Lyrysa do their damage.

Adriana smiles a tried smile and wipes a drop of sweat from her forhead. "This should be good for what ails you," she says touching Randu and letting positive energy flow through him.

Healing Randu: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Drogan, my understanding is that eventhough you are evil you are still only healed by positive energy, negative energy only heals undead. It is not and alignment question it is a biological one.

It's great for damaging groups of living foes though :)

Randu breathes easier, as many of his wounds lessen "My thanks, Adriana."

@BIG OM, True, but I don't channel negative energy. My variant channels pure evil. It heals evil aligned things while also hurting good aligned things but I only get a d4 instead of a d6. It also sickens the good guys if they fail the save.

Blessing be to our dark prince and may his hatred and wrath fuel thee

Drogan presents his holy symbol and lets waves of evil wash over us all.

Channel: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Channel: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Channel: 1d4 ⇒ 2

I can do this one more times this day. Let us be done with this place.

Drogan looks around for the exit

I don't suppose our squire friend was standing in the blast when you did all of those channels! :P

"That's some powerful magics ya got goin' Drogan." Erodin feels almost good as new.

"Much better indeed, and yes, let us be done with this place."

Asmodeus provides the faithful, As a link and living form of him you should expect none less. My power will grow as we do. As I told the cardinal.

"Yes, and indeed, with effort and opportunity we'll all improve and grow... but I wonder when we may go from asset to the Cardinal to threat? Perhaps I am wrong, but many men cannot tolerate even potential rivals."

"It is the way of our Lord. The need to have powerful minions to do your deeds, but to be wary should they gain the power and ambition to throw off the shackles and become the master. For us to constantly prove our worth but to be wary of showing too great strength otherwise we shall be put down as a threat. And in the end an entire country wanting to see us dead." Lyrysa can't help but smile at the thought, turning to Timeon. "It is that which makes us strong. We are not coddled as you Mitrans are at every turn, being provided for and seeking his blessing. Each of us are forged through trials we face each day, much as this one. But for ours, even a simple dinner can be our final moments merely for a task well done. If you had a chance to grow as any of us may well have, perhaps you would have had the strength of character to oppose us." She speaks each words simply, as though lecturing a student.

@Drogan, are missed that one. I have had a though week at work hence the delay in posting."

Timeon saving: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

While Drogan's evil outburst warms the rest of you Timeon turn pale and sweaty. "That, that was pure evil," he pants. Lyrysa's words causes the young man to freeze in his movements.

Now that the dead has settled you notice a wooden door in the western wall. It is barred and locked, upon the door is inscribed "Serve thy master well and be rewarded." Hanging on an iron peg besides the door is a key.

"Ya think this is th' exit? If so, we still got a bauble to find."

How many chambers have we been through? When we entered, Thorn claimed the total number was 9.

We have the amulet Erodin. I believe you put it on. Now let us see what waits behind this door so that we may serve our master.

Drogan looks to Timeon.

Tell me boy what did the evil feel like? What you call evil is the bleesing's of our god. See, He points to the wounds on Erodin and Randu. It is healing magic. Clearly your people don't believe healing to be evil. Maybe one day you will understand.

Erodin takes a look at the amulet that adorns him. "Oh, this thing? Din't even occur ta me. Let's get goin' then." He takes the key and opens the door.

"It was haterd, fear, anger, destruction all at ones terrible," Timeon rambles still shaken by his experience.

The key turn easily in the lock and the door moves on well oiled hinges. Sliding it open you find a knight in shining armour, well a knight at least as the armour is dull and the man wearing it looks marked by some rough days. He stands sword ready and shield high. A pendant rests around his neck.

Anyone openly wearing a symbol of asmoudeus, besides Drogan looking like a devil?

Erodin put on the medallion he got on his pillow the night before.

Hmm, considering Timeon's reaction from when me and Adriana talked to him, I'd say I wasn't. At least not openly.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"Well now, Timeon, it would seem we've found your master. And it appears he's all dressed and ready to greet us. Though I must ask, Sir Balin. Are you willing to risk your squire's life for your crusade? Or perhaps we can make a deal?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Greetings, Sir Balin," He would not have guessed had not Lyrysa realized first. The man looks rough, not what he expected, "I don't suppose you know how my dear soon to be late father is doing? I am SO curious."

Drogan locks gazes with the knight tightening his grip on his morning star.

The great hunter Sir Balin. How does it feel knowing all you have done if for not. Asmodeus lives, and will take back this land. That b$!$& of a god Mitra will bow before us before we are through. Now lay down your arms. Drogan steps over to Timeon. He opens his toothy maw looking back to Balin. Raising his morning star high as well.

Do it not and watch one you care about die before you, knowing your actions could have saved him.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

"Yer Sir Balin? Well, ya don't look so tough in this 'ere dungeon, now do ya?"

Some what stern in his gaze as he is spoken to everything changes with Drogan's mentioning of Asmodeus. He changes to a cold controlled fury. "Wretched devil worshippers," he curses before he calculating moves to the tiefling and pierce his left lunge shaking a bit as he withdraws the blade.

I'll let Adriana keep Timeon in place

Drogan is that a demoralise attempt?

Initiative:
Sir Balin 21
Erodin 19
Drogan 11
Randu 10
Lyrysa 6

Attacking Drogan: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 = 29
Confirming: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 2 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 14 - 4 = 17

Yeah demoralize if that was ok to do before initiative

Drogan coughes and spits up some blood as he grasp the the wound. He takes a step back from the man allowing space for Randu and Erodin to step in. He then uses his last bit of energy to call on the aid of Asmodeus to channel evil.

Channel: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Good aligned take the damage and must pass a DC 13 will save or be sickened as well. He almost passes out himself if not for the evil energy healing him.

Ok this is a scarry fight, Hope the sicken works so this guy will be at a -4, if he hits me again he will kill me.

Round 1

Seeing Drogan nearly run through, Lyrysa is taken aback for a moment before unleashing a spray of colors upon Balin.

Color Spray DC 15 on Balin, wanting to target only him.

Delaying until after Lyrysa does her color spray, Erodin steps up and gets into a flanking position with Randu. Once Randu goes into flanking (or if he does something else), Erodin strikes.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12; Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11. That ain't gonna do much, except maybe if Color Spray hits.

Randu gives a hearty laugh, and stabs at Sir Balin as Drogen has made an opening
Favorite enemy bonus in play
To hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Dmg: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

While sheer intimidation might have worked Sir Balin stands fast against the force of evil and neither foul energy or magic effects the noble knight. He expertly blocks Erodin's mighty strike with his shield and blocks Randu's practised strike with his sword.

The magic has warned Sir Balin, "Witch," he hisses as he turns his blade to Lyrysa wounding her deeply

Attacking Lyrysa: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Saving vs. Drogan: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
Saving vs. Lyrysa: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 5

Woah, shouldn't he be stunned after rolling a 1 on his saving throw vs Color Spray? Or is there some other trick keeping him protected?

I understand your confusion Erodin. What happened is I rolled the two saves first i.e. 15 and 11 then put The attack in before forgetting the anto cheating system moving the rolls around.

So in short the 1 rolled is for his attack, Lyrysa you are of the hook this time no damage.

Thats enough knight no more attacks from you.

Drogan calls on his faith and forbids Sir Balin from attacking. DC 15 will save.

Erodin flanks with Randu and strikes again at the heavily armored knight. Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14; Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12

Round 2

Glad to not be near death! Though the spell might've been better in the end.

Lyrysa steps away from Sir Balin, the strike of his blade to close for comfort. Drawing upon the power of her arcane bone, she instead resummons a spell of sleep, hoping to put him down quickly.

Sleep, targeting only Balin. DC 15

Round 2

"I admire his courage, I'll give him that, too bad his loyalty is misplaced." Randu tries to reposition and flank if he can, then whips his sword about in a wide motion and brings it to bear

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
dmg: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

If Randu can flank the guy, in addition to the usual bonuses, he'll get a +1 on dmg thanks to his Murder trait
Edit: Possible crit
To confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
if confirmed, extra dmg: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Drogan what are you casting?
Saving against Drogan: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 2 = 10

Saving against sleep: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 11 He is 5 HD thus unaffected

Once again arcane and divine magic both foul crashes upon the knight's mental fortress, this time breaking it open. He yawns but remains awaken the magic not strong enough to subdue his spirit. Erodin's heavy blade is once again deflected by a well placed shield, but it robes Sir Balin of his attention of Randu and the noble repays that with a vicious strike to the unguarded sword arm. For 13 damage, no confirmation.

I am waiting to post Sir Balin's action depending on which spell Drogan cast.
