Blood Under Absalom (Inactive)

Game Master Granta

I callled out my move last round but didn't ask anyone to move me, so I am 5' away from where I should be. Will someone move me into range of the monk? Thanks.

Shel takes another 5' step, closing ranks with the nimble magic using monk. "Your protections are gone. Now I've got to take you out. You chose poorly!". She turns into a whirling dervish of small, sharp blades.

Kallyan targets the monk once again, using a different spell. When he finishes casting, a blast of pure cacophony hits a certain area, in which the monk is at its corner.

Sound Burst - Positioned on the corner two squares South of the monk, in such way he's the only one on the area of effect of the 10-ft spread. The Fortitude DC (to avoid being stunned) is 19

Sonic: 1d8 ⇒ 6

After that, Kallyan moves to flank him with Shel. The bard is using his impressive hanbo for weapon.

The Inspired Rage performance continues via Harmonic Spell

Isonda moves the long way around Kallyan to avoid the pit and strikes out at the monk with her halfling sized greatsword.

greatsword attack, haste, divine favor, P. Attack (furius focus): 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 + 2 = 19 That seems low...

greatsword damage, divine favor, P. Attack (furius focus): 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 19

Scratchings tries to gore the man that his master attacked.

gore attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

gore damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Isonda/Scratchings: don't forget you can accept the Inspired Rage, even if just for one round

Shel is a whirlwind of attacks, but only one hits! Kallyan blasts the area with sound, but it does not deafen the monk, although a trickle of blood flows from his ears. Isonda and Scratchings attack, but miss.

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Bold can act!

Edit: forgot to unbold Shel, Isonda and Kallyan

Sarnoc finishes summoning a monster, a great dinosaur, Pteranodon appears and flies at the monk attempting to bite him.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

Sarnoc watches the monk carefully.

Ajax catches site of the spell and tries to determine what it is,

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Then Ajax continues to fire his arrows.

Main attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18 +14 base +4 FE +1 Haste -2 Rapid Shot
Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Haste attackk: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Iterative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 8 = 11
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 3) + 8 = 16

"Shel, if the monk moves, wait for Ara." If the monk moves out of flank position before your turn, just delay after Ara and I'll get her to flank for you. EDIT: But then so can Isonda or Kallyan

The dinosaur and all of Ajax' arrows miss!

Vrald, hit him!

Forgot to order Ara in my haste to see my attack results.

Ajax orders Ara to (spring) attack. Counted the elevation changes as double movement and only got her 10' from the monk after attacking.

Bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24 +13 base +2 Cat's Grace +1 Haste +4 FE

Damage: 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 +7 base +2 Cat's Grace +4 FE

Trip: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

Vrald steps up to the monk who is almost surrounded now.

He salutes the valiant monk, and then tries to put him to rest.
attack, haste, rage: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 36
iterative attack, haste, rage: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 36
hasted attack, haste, rage: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 27

miss chances, high is good: 3d100 ⇒ (48, 73, 39) = 160

Finally he lands a blow!
damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14

Not sure about displacement, if it is not there, then there are potentially two other hits
damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 = 16

"Give up, you are surrounded!"

GM - Code Grey

Vrald slashes at the monk, hitting him twice.

Several monks die in desperate battles up and down the dais and then... there is a rumble of energy and a spark, and all the monks gasp as they take damage. The monk you are facing doubles up in pain for a moment, as the spell that is tying him to this place is clearly weakening.

But he has a job to do, so he winces, and stands to face you all once more. "Even wounded, I'm still going to kick your asses. You know that, right?"

As if to prove that he kicks at Shel, but misses her. He then twists his body in an impossible manner and disappears! A purple rift in space opens at the north side of the room and he calmly steps out. This is the moment Sarnoc has been waiting for and the monk is covered in glittering particles, which stick to his eyes!

Even though the monk has boasted about beating you he seems to be on the verge of collapsing...

Attack Shel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12
Will Save: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Bold can act!

Ajax tries to determine what spell the monk cast

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

There's no AoO on casting the spell?

It is an supernatural ability, so does not provoke and can not be spellcrafted

Kallyan moves his body and hands, pronouncing the same exaggerated words, and again a very loud noise happens around the monk.

Here, let me help you with those pure ears. You need the voice of Kallyan, my dear slippery friend!

Another Sound Burst, same deal - Fortitude 19 vs. Stun, the Sonic damage happens regardless

Sonic: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Performance keeps going on via Harmonic Spell.

The monk collapses! Another stands up while he brings a potion to his mouth.

I will give you a few moments to recompose yourselves. Then we will dance."

You get a single round of actions.

"Kallyan, wonderful!" Ajax is about to exhale when he sees the other seven monks are still unharmed. Quickly he calls Ara back to his side and casts resist energy upon himself and sets it against fire.

"If we are facing an adversary with the same skills as this last one, we should fight accordingly. Vrald, I can immunize you against fire as well, but it will take some time."

Knowledge Arcana on potion effect: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

This is a round to buff/heal?

Sarnoc moves to the center of his compatriots and casts Haste again!

Using his speed Vrald moves around to behind the monk, but avoids attacking him during the 'honor' round of preparation. Rather he raises his sword to salute the monk.

"Let us see if you Know the Taldane two-step"

Kallyan just stays in place, waving his hands on the air as if asking for applauses, and for times stopping to applaud his team. He does little pumps on the air, but other than that doesn't cast another spell or speak anything.

Spending a move action and a BP to keep the performance going.

Isonda casts a defensive spell and moves to be ready to react to the next combatant.

A little Barkskin to help defend her.

Shel pulls her wand and tries to activate it to heal some of her wounds.

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

UMD 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

***OVERSEER POST***

Please see the following post

You made it!

Yay! Thanks for running to all of our GM's!

Vrald steps back and salutes the remaining monks and their leader.

"A good test of skill. I look forward to the real tournament."

Ajax strokes Ara's head as he addresses the group.

"I thank you all for keeping Ara and myself alive. You are all a credit to the Society. Let me know if you need my help in the future."
