Black Tom's Rappan Athuk (now dotted, hopefully)

Game Master Black Tom

Does Tika's inspire courage bonus affect the Will save?

I suggest that Lyria readies her mace and shield for a first round action.

It gives a +2 bonus against charm or fear affects

Will save +4 if sonic or sound based +2 if charm +4 if fear

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Yeah, it was a question for BT because I don't know if falls under either of those categories. And while I'm here, I did fail to actually attempt the roll, so here goes (+2 vs charm, +4 vs fear)

Will save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Not even flinching at the nip from the jackal-man Ka'kara focuses her hasted fury completely on the demon.

Hasted raging power attack with flank and inspire courage:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 5) + 21 = 31

Normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #1:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (3, 6) + 21 = 30

Normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #2:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 21 ⇒ (4, 3) + 21 = 28

Wow, that is some terrible rolling...she is averting her eyes only because she is completely focused on the demon.

Tika's singing does not help with the gaze attacks.

Gregori, Lyria and Kem Het delay, while Artival puts some hurt on one of the jackalmen. One of them hits Ka'kara for 7 points of damage, while the demon hits Gregori for 28. The slowed jackalweres move to interpose themselves between you and the demon.

And you are up.

Tika continues to inspire while jabbing a Jackalwere with her longspear

Attack

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Damage

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Ka'kara doubles in size on Roylenna's turn. I will have to get to a system where I can view the map before I can give my action for this round.

Kem Het ingests his Physical Mutagen, and closes to combat with his newly slivered spear.

Artival casts blindness on the jackal man at I 20, trying to help out their newcomer in the battle

DC 17 Will save.

Roylenna moved to I17 last round, behind Artival.

The halfling sorceress casts another spell, sending a beam of sickly green light toward the jackalwere facing Lyria.

Ray of Enfeeblement against H20; touch attack, Fort DC 15 halves STR penalty

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
STR Penalty: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Does PBS increase the penalty here, too? I did not include it.

Fully transformed into a engine of destruction in the form of a giantess Ka'kara continues to help Gregori take down his demonic adversary.

Enlarged hasted raging power attack with flank and inspire courage:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) + 22 = 34

Enlarged normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #1:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) + 22 = 35

Enlarged normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #2:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) + 22 = 31

Previous round

Gregori's blade sweeps in a powerful arc seeking the demon's head.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Smite evil, hasted, inspired, flanking
1d8 + 15 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 15 + (3) + (3) = 25 Smite evil 1st round+fire+frost (Cold Iron weapon)

The jackalwere resists Artival's magic. Ka'kara's fearsome blows bring down the demon, but in a flash another demon appears in its place.

Ka'kara:

Tika:

None of the jackalweres manage to hurt you. You are up.

With a simple feral grin the barbarianess continues to cleave into the demons appearing in front of her with battle-lust born fervor.

Hasted raging power attack with flank and inspire courage: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 22 = 29

Normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #1:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 1, 1) + 22 = 30

Normal raging power attack with flank and inspire courage attack #2:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Damage: 3d6 + 22 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 22 = 28

Er, anyone there?

Kem Het moves to G-22, and stabs one of the Jacklewares.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Silvered, +1, Longspear Attack, Hasted, Inspired

1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Spear Damage

Tika drops the inspire To yell a warning "Guys There is an Illusion the Demon is Ka'kara Gregori is dead and the Demon we can see is the real Kakara."

She then renews inspiring

sorry bout the lack of posting dot seems to have vanished again

The demon is Ka Kara? Tika better be right about this, or Ka Kara is going to kill me...

With the warning from Tika, Artival fires a magic missle toward what looks like his barbarian friend.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11

Confused, and even more so by Tika's warning, Lyria decides to try to discern what exactly is going on around her by Channeling Energy. She lifts her holy symbol and begins to channel positive energy to harm the real demon.

Channel Energy (Alignment) - should cause damage against outsiders: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) = 10 damage, and hopefully any real outsiders should burn visibly.

Going away for a conference for a few days. Expecting limited access. Just want to clear up that according to what Tika sees, there simply is no demon, just Ka'kara. Will try to handle the rest as I get back.

Kem stabs a jackalwere and Lyria's channel actually burns some kind of fiend. It's hard to say what other than that it's medium-sized and invisible, but you get a hunch of its location.

The jackalweres don't manage to hurt you this time either. You're up.

Ka'kara:

Tika continues inspiring and if she can get close to the real Ka'kara without trigering any AoO she will cast Heroism on her.

BT, what happened to the Magic Missle I shot at what might or might be KaKara?

Did Roylenna's ray affect her jackalwere target?

::sigh:: The most dangerous things in the dungeons are always your own friends...sorry Gregori.

Artival: The spell failed, as there is nothing there.
Roylenna: It did, but it made its save.

"The jackals are really jackals, right? And really there?"

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Including PBS
Fire Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 4) + 1 = 14

The giant form of Ka'kara continues to battle the the demon in front of her completely unfazed and unscorched by Artival's magics.

Ka'kara:

Artival am confused.

Artival, seeing the others holding off the jackal men casts See a invisibility, hoping he can figure out what is happening with Ka Kara and Gregori.

Since you get Will saves to pierce the illusions, I changed the battlemap to reflect what's actually there. The fiend is still invisible, but Artival sees a tiger-headed humanoid with a very evil smirk.

Roylenna takes out another jackalwere. The evil illusionist casts Confusion on you (Will 21 to act normally) while the jackalweres cut Ka'kara for 7 points of damage.

You are up.

Sorry guys...my dot disappeared. I just checked randomly and there we were.

Kem resumes his attack on his chosen foe, hoping to clear out the doorway.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Will save

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 +1 Silvered spear, Inspired, Mutagen
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Damage

...or not

Ka'kara's grin falters as the new demon seems to be able to fend off most of her attacks and she begins to tire.

The spell is not necessary, Roylenna and I are already confused. ;-) Well played. Is this Confusion on everyone in the party or only one of us? Assuming your 'you' referred to the whole party...

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

OOH SO CLOSE!!!

Confusion effect: 1d100 ⇒ 41

Roylenna slaps her tiny hands over her eyes, shaking her head violently and spouting out streams of nonsense in several languages.

Will save

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Effect

1d100 ⇒ 45

Will save, if necessary 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Confusion effect 1d100 ⇒ 81

Who is the closest creature, DM? They are being attacked by Artival.

Artival will be attacking Kem. Ka'kara is not included in the confusion, but the rest of you are.

Despite being invisible and well-nigh invulnerable, the monster takes two solid hits from Ka'kara, which disrupts the illusion. The fiend is still invisible though, and only Artival can see it.

Lyria to go, then the fiend.

Lyria makes her save but delays. Artival backs away and fires his magic missiles at Kem for 9 points of damage. A jackalwere hits Ka'kara for 10 points of damage and the demon teleports away, noone knows where (except Artival).

You can roll to see what you'll be doing this round, except that Kem will be going after Artival. You're up.

Confusion 1d100 ⇒ 71

After missling Kem, Artival takes the opportunity to crack himself in the face two or three times.

Damage 1d8 ⇒ 4

Confusion

1d100 ⇒ 19

Tika stops babbling and begins to inspire only affecting those she is certain arent confused.

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 83

BT, I'll let you decide who and how I attack.

The demon dropped the illusions, so Ka'kara is both visible and free to act normally.

Roylenna tries to hit Lyria with a Shocking Grasp, but her concentration is disrupted as Lyria gently pushes her aside. Ka'kara slays the three jackalweres in the room.

Kem Het, Artival and Lyria still to go.

I already went this round, DM. I punched myself in the face, lol.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted this group". "Traitors". "I was better off with the Ogres".

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 +1 Silvered, Inspired, Mutagen

1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage

OK, in order to avoid a TPK I'm posting for Lyria.

Lyria releases another burst of holy energy, burning the demon for 11 points of damage and making it temporarily visible. As indicated on the battle map.

The demon retaliates with a Scorching Ray. All three rays hit her for 38 points of damage, bringing her down.

You are up. Artival and Kem are committed to fighting each other, but the rest of you need to roll again.
