Chronicles of the Silver Rose Company

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Thats a crit threat, right?

Alessia’s blade drinks deep of whatever essence powers the elemental creature. It moans, a sound like creaking stones. Her shield pivots to shield Merle from any further attack

What does your sword look like anyway? Is it plain, or more of a baroque Stormbringer soul-drinking vibe?

Confirm critical: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

If critical, damage will be 17 + 1d10 ⇒ 10 + energy drain.

The sword is pretty plain, and looks like it's seen a lot of use--like her armor, it's the same sword she used while she was still alive (only the shield is new). Here's a picture. I'm guessing it probably has a holy symbol on the pommel, but no other decorations.

Hamar is the Friggin' Tasmanian Devil! O_o

Justin aims his blasting rod at the Xorn still facing Rovuk. The tip starts to glow with a bright blue light.

"Ah! Ah! Leave. The Guide. Alone!"

The wizard focuses his will, and a single brilliant bolt of energy flies from the tip to zip around Rovuk and strike the Xorn.

Using Wizard ability 'Force Bolt'. like Magic missile,

Force Dmg: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Xorn Brawl Round 2

Rovuk: 23 [ranged atk]
Sophi: 22 [atk]
Hamar:21 [whirlwind atk]

Xorn:16 [atks]
Alessia:12 [Pending ]
Blayze:11 [pending]
Karrin: 8 [pending]
Mel:7 [Atk] [saving shield +2 AC for Sophi]

Rovuk takes a five-foot step and fires point blank at his foe

arrow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 251d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2) = 10

arrow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 161d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (3) = 15

arrow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 221d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (1) = 12

If not too late for round 1

Spinning to face the Xorn that attacked Merle, Blayze draws Glory in a blur, firing a pair of shots into the creature, a mere thought loading another bullet into her gu before a third shot swiftly follows the other two.

Glory +1 distance double barreled pistol/Haste vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 = 30
Bludgeoning/Piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Glory +1 distance double barreled pistol/Haste vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27
Bludgeoning/Piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

haste Extra attack
Glory +1 distance double barreled pistol/Haste vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 = 18
Bludgeoning/Piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Swift action: Teleport bullet from Bandolier into gun. Distance makes range increment 40ft instead of 20ft

Nope! Plenty of time!

Blayze’s shots drill into the Xorn, cleaving chunks of stony flesh from it

Just got the tally straight, so...

The Xorn that had bitten Merle falls to the hail of Blayze’s bullets

is there a -4 to shooting into melee with a gun? Or do you have the feat that negates that? Either way all of those shots would have hit. Edit: NVM. I looked it up on your sheet and I see you have it. Carry on :)

Blayze just killed that particular one. I’ll get an updated map up soon

I'll delete the posts.

I think there's a lag with posts showing up-- I couldn't see your last post when I posted the attacks.

Yeah lag is bad today. Yours just popped up for me

new map rd 2.5

I'll post a version on the FB Treefort as well.

Seeing there intended target dead Merle will instead unleash a magic missile volly on the nearest opponent

5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 1, 3) + 5 = 21

At this point, I am going to adjucate that Ramuah and Sophi didn’t come on this journey. They stayed behind to wait to go to Erelhi-Cinlu. If there’s no further word from them then I’ll write them from the narrative

I'm sorry, work's been crazy. I'm here! Let me know if I should stay away or not. :(

Mel:7 [Atk] [saving shield +2 AC for Sophi]

Merle sends bolts of force raining down on Rovuk's foe

The wand weilding Xorn moves along the stalagmite Q19 and does an odd three-legged hop into the air. Suddenly the stone ripples under the party, like an angry sea

In the following map there is a dark cone. Anyone intersecting the cone must pass a DC 15 Reflex save or be knocked prone and take 1d8 ⇒ 2 bludgeoning damage.

The Xorn engaged with Rovuk takes the opportunity of his stepping back to rush over to his compatriot's side P20

The Xorn by Mel and Sophi whirls his bats in a weaving manner, bringing them down on the young woman mercillesly. Its jaws snap at her at the same time

Xorn bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 214d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 2) + 3 = 13
Stone bat 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 161d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Stone bat 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 291d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Stone bat 3: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 201d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

New Map

Mel gestures and his spiritual weapon flies to attack the foe near him. He whirls his large mace towards the Xorn as well

Pelor's Fist 1st atk: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 261d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 (2d6 vs evil; undead will save DC14 or instadeath)
Pelor's Fist 2nd atk: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 (2d6 vs evil; undead will save DC14 or instadeath)

Although since seph is in a pack carried by Merle would he need a save?

No that’s fine. He’s not standing on the ground so he’s fine

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Alessia's DR negates the damage, but she'll spend most of her action getting back up. Can she stand up + move in the same round (equivalent to double move action)?

[dice="Reflex]1d20+4

Looking at the prone condition, it says standing up is a move-equivalent action, so I would say you could stand up, then move your normal amount after. There’s no enemy near you to get an AoO

Alessia gets to her feet and rushes the xorn spellcaster.

Move action: stand up
Move action: move to Q18

Catching up,... I see!

REF save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Wizards Wobble but They Don't Fall Down! ;P

Justin crouches as the shockwave rumbles the crystal around and under him. He manages to keep on his feet.

"Oh yeah. YOU gotta go." He grumbles as he eyes his potential next targets.

Waiting on the start of round 3. He actually KNOWS what he gonna do next! :)

Xorn Brawl Round 2

The Xorn by Mel and Sophi whirls his bats in a weaving manner, bringing them down on the young woman mercillesly. Its jaws snap at her at the same time

Thank Hekate for Mel's Shield or else that could have been nasty...

Mel’s sun-blazoned shield blocks the stone clubs from bashing Sophi

“Nasty! You’ll get yours, my friend!” He cries

Xorn Brawl Round 2

Quckly assessing the situation, Blayze aims past her allies, targeting the xorn that sent the shockwave that stopped just short of her, hoping to weaken its resistances as she sends a bullet to her other pistol.

Honor +2 double-barreled Seraphic Pistol: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Blayze’s shot hits true

Once we get Karrin’s action and her and Hamar’s STs we can head to Rd 3

Reflex Save DC15 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25

Hamar does not even notice the disturbance on the ground as his feet barely touch it.

So my Post got eaten 2 times now. Let's try asking this question again. The xorn Karrin was holding her attack for last round never reappeard?

So my Post got eaten 2 times now. Let's try asking this question again. The xorn Karrin was holding her attack for last round never reappeard?

Nope. It is still in the ground somewhere. Xorn can pass tracelessly through earth like a fish swimming through water

Okay, if the xorn Karrin was watching for had reappeared Karrin would have moved and attacked before she could have been targeted by the xorn's spells. It's why I asked

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Karrin then charges the spell caster and his buddy moving into p19

charge attack, power attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
damage: 1d12 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
charge attack, power attack, cleave (if first attack hits): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
damage: 1d12 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

That's Karrin's 2nd round. Not adding cold damage because I'm pretty sure xorn are immune to cold

Gotcha.

Ferisirrion fails to penetrate the Xorn’s tough hide

round three !

Round 3

Hamar spins as the foe before him is vanquished due to the combined efforts of the Silver Rose. He turns and charges at his next prey Q23 taking a circuitous route P18, O17, then O19 to attack the next Xorn P20 he continues this dance to maximize his thrust bye gaining enough speed with his dance between foes to cause maximum mayhem...

That moves Hamar 80' and allows him to take all of his attacks, he ends on square Q18. It also exposes him to AoOs so I will need a few Acrobatics checks in between. Note that all ranged attacks against him have a 20' miss chance as he has moved more than 10'.

Attack #1 vs. Q23 - Keen, Planar (Ignore 5 Points of DR to Outsiders) Scimitar 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 19 - Damage 1d6 + 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + (5, 2) + 4 + 2 = 18

Acrobatics to withdraw from the threatened square 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39.

Attack #2 vs. P20 - Vorpal Scimitar 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 27 - Damage 1d6 + 6 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (6, 1) + 2 = 20

Acrobatics to withdraw from the threatened square 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43.

Attack #3 vs. Q23 - Keen, Planar (Ignore 5 Points of DR to Outsiders) Scimitar 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 24 - Damage 1d6 + 4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (6, 4) + 2 = 17

Acrobatics to withdraw from the threatened square 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36.

Attack # 4 vs. P20 - Vorpal Scimitar 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 31 - Damage 1d6 + 6 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (4, 1) + 2 = 16
Critical? 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 14 - Damn. Miss.

Acrobatics to withdraw from the threatened square 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34.

Attack #5 vs. Q23 - Vorpal Scimitar 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 15 - Damage 1d6 + 6 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (3, 1) + 2 = 14

That moves Hamar 80' and allows him to take all of his attacks, he ends on square Q18.

Map hasn't been updated yet; Alessia is currently occupying Q18

I believe the target you assign as Q23 is currently at Q19. Other than that, I think everything is straight. If this messes up your convoluted fight path, let me know

Hamar whirls and slashes his two foes. He skewers one in its fanged hole,P20 and it topples, twitching feebly. The other eludes his blows. He thinks one is about to land, but some mysterious force checks his blade at the last second, as if some invisible armor cloaks the creature

Sounds good, I believe I still have the distance and I can be placed near that foe even if no right on Q18.

Growling in frustration as her attacks seemingly do little to halt the creature's barrage of attacks, she takes a moment to study the strange anatomy of the creature, so as to place her strikes more effectively.

Updated Map

Things getting a mite confusing, so I am doing an early update. Some need to still go on rd 3, but this is where everyone is at the moment ...

Alessia's sword bites deep

Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 + energy drain

Merle blasts at the last visable xorn with more magic missiles

5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 1, 2) + 5 = 15

The final visible Xorn falls to Merle’s magic

Good job folks. There’s just one final thing...

The party catches their breath, and as they begin to look around there is a thrumming sound, almost subsonic. It isn’t loud, but it jitters them like a pulse of sonic energy

Actions?

Hamar's dance slows and he takes a knee breathing hard.

"What is that sound? Rovuk, is this another attack?"

Hamar is not Fatigued yet but he will be soon...

what manner of damage?

The Studied Strike damage is Precision Damage (not multiplied on a Critical, and beings immune to Sneak Attacks are immune to it). It's basically an Investigator & Slayer version of Sneak Attack, but we have to study our target to get it, not surprise them.
