Chronicles of the Silver Rose Company

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Assuming Justin relays his knowledge ...

"An undead creature? Let us see ..." With another prayer to the Sacred Flame, a wave of hot energy flashes out from Ekuur, hopefully searing the thing.

channel energy to harm undead 5d6

The vampire clown screeches, and shrivels a bit more. It's not looking happy. It glares at Karrin, who floats near it.

NEW ROUND!!!!

Hamar: 21
Merle: 21
Pennywise: 21
Karrin: 20
Justin: 20
Naridre: 20
Ekuur: 17
Rhiannon: 17

Hamar and Merle get their shots in first, the Pennywise. Anyone else feel free to post and I'll sort it all out:)

The ceiling blazes, and the air grows heavy with choking smoke. Tendrils of flame snake out from the initial area

Round 3 - Initiative 21

Ranged Attack #1 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Longbow Damage #1 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Ranged Attack #2 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Longbow Damage #2 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Hamar snaps off two more shots he states the obvious, "We must finish off this foe and move this is not an ideal sleeping quarter any longer".

"Yeah" Justin coughs in agreement, waving his hand in front of his face.

"The rustic atmosphere was nice and all, but the smoking is getting ridiculous!"

Just being Justin til his turn. :)

NEW ROUND!!!!

Karrin loses flight at the end of the round and begins to float down as if under the effects of feather fall.

Merle again blasts it with her magic missiles

Damage 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 4) + 4 = 17

Hamar: 21 bow- one hit
Merle: 21 magic missile
Pennywise: 21 quickened and regular hideous laughter
Karrin: 20
Justin: 20
Naridre: 20
Ekuur: 17
Rhiannon: 17

Karin anything besides floating down?

The vampiric clown's garments are little more than charred rags, and its pale flesh bubbles and smokes. One of Hamar's arrows strikes it, as does Merle's magic missiles.

It points at Merle and Ekuur with its bony claw

Saving throw guys

Nari still laughs horribly and there is a sudden screeching as well. One of the small puppets runs through the clearing, head ablaze. It collides with a rack of musty costumes which go up in flames

Quick question: would giant Karrin be able to reach this clown with melee? If she can, Karrin will activate her belt of giant growth to get "fun sized" but if not Karrin will pull out her short bow (which she has never used in her entire career with the silver rose).

After 11,000 posts and 7 years it's about time :-)

The ceiling is 5 meters from the floor. Does she have the reach? I would say yes, provisionally. How tall does she get?

guessing will save 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Ekuur frowns at the creature, stating "We have little humor on my home. It is not so easy to make me laugh, abomination!"

Ekuur channels against undead once more 5d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 1, 1) = 12

The ceiling is 5 meters from the floor. Does she have the reach? I would say yes, provisionally. How tall does she get?

Well the game really isn't set up for that sort of information, she get's a 10ft reach, and assuming that karrin doesn't grow an inch that would give her 15ft or so, but I'd think Karrin would grow to be at least 8 to 10, and although the game has no rules for attacking up, I'd think Karrin should be able to attack something 16 to 18 feet over her head. That would let her reach 5 meters

After 11,000 posts and 7 years it's about time :-)

And it might not happen yet :D

Yeah I'm cool with Karrin meleeing it. You need to wrap this up, because...

The group can hear the pop and crackle as the roof's dry timbers start to catch. Although it has only been seconds the ancient collection of dried clothing and painted props are beginning to catch...

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Ekuur frowns at the creature, stating "We have little humor on my home. It is not so easy to make me laugh, abomination!"

"You can say that again,..." Justin murmurs to Hamar.

"Ekuur! I think we MIGHT have gotten carried away with your worship preparations. Again." Justin says dryly as he eyes the growing flames and the deadly clown at the same time.

The wizard fires off another single blazing bolt of energy, planning on what to do next if Karrin doesn't hog all the fun for herself first.

Magic Bolt (Missile) power, 1d4+4 pts force dmg. 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Hamar watches Karrin grow he turns to Justin, "Wizard, I could use such a spell, glorious to be so large!"

Justin raises an eyebrow, pointedly looking at Hamar's bulging biceps.

"I dunno big fella, you look like your doing pretty well to me!"

Presuming that there IS enough room in here for TWO enlarged characters? Without the rest of us getting stepped on? :)

Justin eyes Karrin's 'fun-sized' form, and quickly calculates the space in the chamber.

"But in THIS case, I can actually help you with that one!"

Next turn, that is,... :)

Actually, so can Ekuur ...

Oh good. I have Enlarge person in my spellbook, but I do not have it prepared, so I have to use my one 'get spell free' card (my bonded item) to cast it. :)

Everyone wants to get "fun sized"

Hamar: 21 bow- one hit
Merle: 21 magic missile
Pennywise: 21 quickened and regular hideous laughter
Karrin: 20 fun-sized
Justin: 20 Magic bolt
Naridre: 20
Ekuur: 17 Channel (no 5)
Rhiannon: 17

The clown is getting ragged and smouldery. Unfortunately, so is the room.

OK, I think Nari and Rhiannon have to go, then a new round

Nari is out for the duration. She can't do anything but laugh. She already failed both saves.

Oh right. *blushes* sorry

I'll just hurry this on a bit:

Rhiannon draws her crossbow and fires

DM stuff

to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

dam: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

one bolt finds its mark

NEW ROUND!!

Hamar drops his bow and draws his blade, "Commence with your wizardry mage and I shall cut this fiend to ribbons..."

Holding my action 'till I get "fun sized" by Justin! ;_0

Justin shrugs.

"Okay then. Move over Karrin! New dance partner stepping up!" He calls, before holding out his amulet towards Hamar and concentrating a few seconds. A moment later his eyes snap open, flashing with the power of a newly recalled spell.

Justin extends his arms and amulet, and casts a spell, lightly tapping Hamar on the shoulder with a final arcane phrase. He steps back hastily.

"Going UP!" He calls out.

Use bonded item power to ready any spell from book 1/day. Cast Enlarge on Hamar. Step back and enjoy the show. :)

ok I'm just going to post Pennywise's action, since it might foul up your plans

The burning undead clown points a finger at Justin and Ekuur

Make your Will saves guys

Well,... crudmuffins. I was 'hoping' he had a limited # of those. Like a wizard. (I knew better, but was hoping.) ;P

Will Save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Justin smiles, then coughs. He frowns at the undead abomination, and snorts trying to contain a laugh.

"You only, <snort>, THINK your, <Heh> funny wise-guy!"

Did Merle fail the save against the hideous laughter

will 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Ekuur doesn't even crack a smile. "That is the second time, fiend, and the second time you fail. The only thing that will amuse me is seeing your smoldering corpse. Justin, I can cast the spell, if you wish!"

If Justin would rather target the creature, I can enlarge Hamar if it hasn't fallen by then ...

"Yes please Ekuur." Justin growls, dropping amulet back to hang from it's chain.

The wizard interlaces his fingers, flips his hands over and pops his knuckles.

"I have a sudden BURNING desire to show this little pest what happens when you play with fire!"

Will let Ekuur cast growth on Hamar. (Thank you!) :) I'm going for overkill. ;)

Karrin takes her full attack:
1st attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
1st attack damage: 3d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) + 9 + (2) = 24
2nd attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
2nd attack damage: 3d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) + 9 + (2) = 25

As Ekuur's magic takes hold, Hamar grows enough to attack the creature with his blades feet still touching the floor!

Scimitar +1 Keen, Planar – 15-20x2
Attack #1 - 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 - 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Attack #3 - 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 – Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Scimitar Keen Invigorating – 15-20x2
Attack #2 Offhand - 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 - Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack #4 Offhand - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 – Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Speed is my ally but there is much to be said to be as large as a Giant, even if only for a short time... Hamar contemplates as his blades whirl towards the freakish menace.

Did Merle fail the save against the hideous laughter

OOh sorry I forgot to check getting back in...DC is 19 :(

Merle begins to yowl laughter

Justin winces at Merle's yowling laughter.

"Easy Kitty,..." He mutters as he pulls out another spell component.

As Ekuur touches Hamar, and the warrior grows to join Karrin amid the smoking roof beams, Justin points at the dancing undead jester.

"Laugh THIS off you giggling b@st@rd! FEUGO MAXIMUS!!!"

There are various flashes of light from Justin's personage as his gloves, amulet and ring all flare and expend magical energy in conjunction with the spell.

Instead of the familiar finger-thin beam of flame, a blast of fire as big around as the wizards wrist roars towards the wall-crawling clown.

Throwing everything into one big blast, with levels, CL bonuses, gloves, amulet and fire ring(expending all 3 charges) we end up with, Ray of Flame, (Touch attack, reflex save vs DC 18 or catch fire and take 1d6 fire dmg/round until extinguished) Dmg= 5d6 +4d6(ring) +4pts(Intense spells school power) +50%(Amulet) :)

Ranged Touch Att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Hoping that hits the little buggers Touch AC

Dmg: 5d6 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 5, 4) + (2, 2, 6, 1) + 4 = 37
PLUS the 50% (+18pts) == Total fire dmg 55, Plus ref save vs DC:18 or catch fire, 1d6/rnd (If he's not already still flaming from the last blast, I can't recall) :)

Justin smiles, the firelight casting shadows across his face and making him seem,... eerie. Especially with THAT smile.

He holds his finger, his hand still trailing smoke, in front of his face, and blows the smoke gently from the end of his finger.

"Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Karrin, Hamar, NOW!"

second will save

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Merle manages to regain controll of herself

"Ahem yeah it wasent that funny."

Wow you guys outputted quite a bit of damage that round...so..

Between the flashing blades, axes, and bolts of fire, the evil clown finally falls from the ceiling, shriveling into a wizened charred corpse

YAY!

However, the party is still embroiled in danger. The fire is spreading, and the only way they know to get out is on the roof, which is rapidly turning into an inferno...

Actions?

"Spellcasters, can we extinguish these flames?" Hamar asks turning back to view his now much smaller compatriots.

Can I reach the entrance with my current size just by reaching up? I assume yes correct?

Yeah, on tippy toes. It's 15' up

Does the hideous laughter end with the evil clown? If not how much longer does it last? The spell says one round/level, but obviously I don't know what level clown guy was. :)

Ack! Sorry, been busy at work.

"Hm? Oh, Oh YEAH! Hamar! KArrin! try to beat out the flames! We need to get out of here! Hang on,..." Justin fumbles through a coat pocket, pulls out a bit of arcane bric a brac, mumbles a short phrase, then slaps Karrin on the thigh. A brief flare of magic covers the larger-than-usual Warrioress.

"Um,... don't step on me?" he adds after the fact, realizing just where he slapped the temperamental warrior-woman. And belatedly recalling his last 'training session' with her.

"It's a protection spell! To protect you from the flames! help the others out quickly!"

And When it's his turn again Justin casts a similar spell on Hamar. and repeats his message.

Cast Protection vs Fire on Karrin (She's still suffering from the level drain.) and endure elements on Hamar. Then wait my turn to be rescued. :)

"Come here you," Karrin says snatching up the puppet corpse, "Let's see if you can be a bit useful," she says as she attempts to beat out the flames with the small body.

"Pack out things up, if this doesn't work we're going to need to leave in a hurry."

Who doesn't have some form of fire resistance or protection already cast on them? Ekuur can provide a psionic version ...

Hamar looks at Karrin and looks at the flames still burning and turns to Naridre and Merle, "Which of you wish to go first!?"

Whoever responds first Hamar scoops up and lifts to the roof so that they may start the evacuation.

"Nari first then me." Merle as she uses ray of frost to try and fight back the fire at least a bit.

Ack. Sorry for lack of updates. Long week. Nari we can have the laughter end

The party manages to get together and keep the flames at bay by the trapdoor they arrived in. Merle's frost Ray coats the sides of the door, keeping the flames away and Karrin beats out the nearest flame with a puppet body. They can escape...But the room will go up in flames eventually. Too many pieces of ancient cloth and varnished wood already smoulder

Actions?

"You have my blades my friends. Both here and wherever it is you bring me to that is away from this damnable place. I shall follow your lead as I have no way of getting out. Know that this place is very dangerous and we must keep our wits about us to survive. I trust escaping to all of you..." states Hamar as his form shrinks to normal and he begins to search around for threats.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Justin kicks the trapdoor closed behind them, and glares at it balefully.

"Is it too much to ask for just ONE night of uninterrupted sleep? Really?" He grouses aloud.

The wizard looks at the others, and notices a couple of sleepy, grumpy glares of their own. They seem to be directed at him.

"What? Hey, this time the fire was NOT my fault! Strictly speaking." He holds up his hands defensively.

"Sheesh. You set ONE tower aflame and they never let you live it down. Ekuur frikkin' WORSHIPS fire and they never give him any flak,... Grumble grumble,..."

The party again stands on the massive stage in the ancient theater/opera house/sacrificial altar/ whatever these maniacs did for entertainment complex.

Although it looks as if there will be a big fire here, the majority of the complex is dressed stone. Likely the fire will not spread past the building itself.

Actions??
