Corsario's Kingmaker: The long way home (Inactive)

Game Master Corsario

K-Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
K-Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Will Save+Surge: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (6) = 25

Only through the greatest force of will she stands her ground. However that instance of fear that gripped her forced her to dig in deep, grabbing onto the form that would give her the strength to fight. The same form that allowed her to stand against Taralaxian himself. "Come to us!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
"Ma'am, we will protect you, please stay behind us." Venetia says ushering the woman and her child to get behind them.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

She then points Rupert's sword up at the dragon daring it to come for her.

I'm starting not to like this archetype, it's not immune to fear, it doesn't grant a bonus to fear saves for allies, and the smite replacement just sucks.

mythic surge to will save: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Szymon trembles in frightening presence of the black dragon forgetting the advancing the redcap, evil fey. Then, from somewhere deep inside where he had never experienced initiates a warmth of confidence. The feeling dissolves the withering fear and steels himself. He draws his sword and closely looks at the mother and child. In these days of nightmare and craziness, he expects everything not to be what it appears.

Perception of mother and child: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Arv glances over his shoulder at the allies joining the fight, and then to Danath... with a grin.
"Perhaps today I claim another tail!" Arv unfurls the green scaly tentacle rooted to his chest.
He then takes his sewing needle from his belt pouch, and grasps it between forefinger and thumb as he strafes into position.

Bear with me guys, first time playing a full blaste :D

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Edeldhur is able to whitstand the vision of the mighty dragon in the distance, and focuses on the immediate threat before them.

Knowledge (Nature) for those humanoids: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Knowledge (Nature) for the Dragon: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Seeing the dozen or more creatures approaching, and the dragon in the distance, Edeldhur tries to deal with the immediate threat as quickly as possible, knowing that if the dragon closes in, they will be in real, serious trouble.

Still amidst the chaos, he warns the others - "Beware of the woman! It may be a trap nonetheless!"

It would be important to know how far the creatures are from us, but anyway:

To the small humanoid creature at his side, flapping its leathery wings, whose usual mischievous smile is by now gone at the sight of the dragon, Edeldhur whispers - "Zraaz'ktar , dosst lueth fre'sla qee. Ka jala del mina ul'plyr udossa, kl'ae dosst pholor ussa, tiu obok lueth kr'athin lil"

Then, with a flick of his wrist and a few practiced, magical gestures, while holding a rod in his left hand, he conjures a glowing, pea-sized bead that streaks from his pointing digit, sailing across the area that separates them from the rushing creatures, and the running woman, to erupt amidst the charging creatures into a gigantic ball of flame.

Casting Empowered Fireball, using Selective metamagic rod if necessary not to affect the fleeing woman, but would rather target it in such a way for it not to be needed and save uses on it if at all possible;)

Empowered Fireball (Reflex Save DC21): 9d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 6, 1, 6, 3, 3, 3) = 36 -> *1.5=54 damage

Additional note: If the Knowledge roll above shows some particular vulnerability from the part of the fey, Edeldhur will change the spell element accordingly, as per Admixture specialization.

Additional Note 2: Can we assume we have any cast spells? For example, Arcane Endurance allows Edeldhur to cast Mage Armor at effective level 11, extended to 22 hours - this is something he usually does in the morning.

I'm starting not to like this archetype, it's not immune to fear, it doesn't grant a bonus to fear saves for allies, and the smite replacement just sucks.

You are still on time to change it

The mother and the young child look panicked and disheveled. But not hurt.
About your new found powers, like the Mage armor, they are new. Not, you have not casted them yet.

We'll say that Janus used a Channel and used Mythic Selective Channel to avoid healing anyone who didn't need it and to make it "mythic" as well. I'm counting Kiritta, Szymon, Edeldhur, and Arv as undamaged, so 2 * 4 = 8.

Channel Positive Energy: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 1) + 8 = 22

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Mythic Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 6

At the sight of a big, hulking black dragon, Janus thinks about running for his life, but then he recalls going toe-to-toe with a certain Hellknight who carved up an even stronger wyrm with little trouble. Seeing Edeldhur nuke several redcaps with a single spell only strengthens his resolve.

"I'll keep everyone healed, so kick it's teeth in!"

I will use a Mythic Surge if necessary, but if Danath begins an Inspire Courage, this will have Kiritta, Szymon and Janus all make the saving throw. Also, if Venetia changes to straight Paladin, we will all make it as well without any Surge.

Danath will be using Inspire courage, his phone has no internet and somehow mine does, but internet is out at our remote camp. So... "If he has to use a Hero Point then do so so we don't slow things up." Per Danath himself.

The joys of working in a remote oilfield. :P The snow blows and the internet goes out lol!

Hopefully will update our posts later and get back into the action. Assume for now, Ni'tir and Danath hang back to defend the core of the group and inspire courage.

It's not the heroic thing we invisioned but to forestall the game is worse, so please don't think less of our two characters lol. :(

Map is ready!
Glade Map

Then, with a flick of his wrist and a few practiced, magical gestures, while holding a rod in his left hand, he conjures a glowing, pea-sized bead that streaks from his pointing digit, sailing across the area that separates them from the rushing creatures, and the running woman, to erupt amidst the charging creatures into a gigantic ball of flame.

Where do Edeldhur send the Fireball to?

Based upon Ni'Tir's last post, I assume that Kiritta, Szymon and Janus did not need to use Surge Points. Please let me know if we needed one. A single point from Inspire Courage would be enough to get all three of us from 19 to making the DC20.

After getting over her momentary fright, Kiritta looks at her companions.

Close ranks, I can speed up seven of us. Edeldhur and I probably do not need the extra speed.

Kiritta then cast fly on herself.

No, you don't need the mythic surge use, Danath Inspire Courage help you.

@Corsario: Edeldhur's Fireball is aimed at the central group, since I guess it is his best chance to catch as many as possible. Aimed in front of that redcap in the "triangle" formation, I think it will catch 8 out of possible 9. Dang! I need a way to increase fireball radius :D

Hmmmm, I could use Haste, but I guess it is best used on the martial types indeed Kiritta

Before continuing his actions, Edeldhur addresses the others - "Friends, I believe the central group should be almost done with, a few well placed arrows should be enough to finish them- Kiritta, are you blocking or somehow impeding one of their groups? Could you take care of the leftmost one? This will allow us to focus on only the group on the right, and perhaps we can dispatch them promptly, and focus our attention... On the Dragon... I wonder what his intentions are..." - he tries to organize the group.

"Also, we CANNOT stay packed in a tight group, we NEED to spread, or a single breath from that formidable one will get us all"

For sake of coordination, and if Corsario agrees, this is only part of Edeldhur's actions. I will do the rest - moving and probably casting - after the others have reacted.

Since you're allowing some retcons, can Szymon have drawn his longbow instead of his sword. The bad guys are quite a bit further than I imagined. Also, where the mother and kid?

I was considering casting Black Tentacles. Unfortunately the area here is huge and the distance very large. I also have several Pit spells.

With Wild Arcana, I can cast several more Black Tentacles to encompass more area which will defend our flanks.

Kiritta, you can still lob the Black Tentacles at least 170 feet away, correct?

Since you're allowing some retcons, can Szymon have drawn his longbow instead of his sword. The bad guys are quite a bit further than I imagined. Also, where the mother and kid

Yes you can. The Mother and child are between Kiritta and Janus. Check the map.

I can put them there, but 170' is still about 40' short of either side group. If I drop them short, then they will simply walk around them. I was hoping to wait a round, in which I cast Fly to buff and get out of the area. Next round, they should still be close together and close enough to get a bunch of them with black tentacles.

For sake of coordination, and if Corsario agrees, this is only part of Edeldhur's actions. I will do the rest - moving and probably casting - after the others have reacted.

Sounds good.

Kiritta thinks she remember something about this "red caps"... about their lack of faith, coming as they come, from the first world. Something about Holy Symbols.
Edeldhur and Kiritta are done. Now the rest, then the enemies.

After the expanding ball of flame passes him, Arv chugs one of his few remaining vials... then darts off into position with great speed..

Drink Expeditious Retreat, move

All, these evil fey. They may be injured or adverse to holy symbols. I do not know for sure, but I recall something of this nature.

Edeldhur has still to act - I'll post him as soon as I can.

Round 1

Szymon picks one of the redcaps that survived the fireball and attempts to hit it with some arrows. one range increment

He asks the group, "Do the redcaps need cold iron to damage them?"
_________________________________
Masterwork composite (+4) longbow attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 20

Edeldhur again warns everyone regarding movement - "We need to MOVE, we cannot stay piled up. Combatants move ahead and spread, casters and supporters stay back, but still spread. Kiritta start thinking how you are going to keep that dragon off our backs for a few seconds" - he jests even amidst the chaos of the confrontation.

"Uum ta sii" - he addresses the small creature, and it promptly approaches his master to lay a touching hand on him.

Zraaz'ktar casts Blur on Edeldhur, then flies slightly up and a tad back.

Edeldhur moves to the left a couple of feet, then launches another fireball, aimed at the rightmost group from his perspective.

Moving 30' to the left, targetting the group in front of the Dragon with an Empowered fireball.

Empowered Fireball: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 6, 2, 6) = 31 x1.5 = 46 damage

Maybe we should wait for the others to act - it may be important that everyone acts this round ;)

Will wait until tomorrow, and then it will be turn of the enemies, to give more players time to post. Hurry up!

That is the problem with big parties. I think a few of us know what our plans are, but we need the rest to post to move the plot.

=/ Sorry for the wait guys our camp internet is back up now. Annoying snow!

Surprise round/Round 1?

Ni'Tir digs in, her feet transforming into claws and her body cracking and reforming itself into the monstrous form she had before. She roared at the oncoming Red Caps, prepared to tear them all apart with her claws.

Mythic Form Allosaur - Free Wildshape/Standard Action

Round 1/Round 2

Eduldhur's warning isn't lost on her, she moves off to their left flank five feet as she prepared to summon forth the wrath of nature. She faced the oncoming Redcap's with a savage glint in her large reptilian eyes. With a slow chant and a swaying motion she began calling upon the powers of natures fiercest weapon to smot these Fey creatures and protect the two innocence's hiding among their group now...

She called forth lighting!

FA: 5ft step to the left, FRA: Call Lightning

Surprise Round

K-Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
K-Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Danath was unphased by the appearance of the intimidating lizard that appeared to be watching the conflict they were now imbroiled in. As the Mother and child find safety in their lines he raises his Longsword in defiance at the oncoming horde of evil looking creatures. With a powerful shout he rallies his allies who appeared to be flagging. Bolstering their courage just enough so that they stood their ground against the onslaught that they now faced. "RALLY BARONS OF SLOBADA, RALLY AND DEFEAT THESE SERVANTS OF THE DARK! FOR SLOBADA AND IN THE NAME OF OUR FALLEN KING WE FIGHT! HOORAH!" His speech carries across the battlefield, ringing in the ears of the oncoming enemy.

Surprise Round Action: Inspire Courage

Round 1

He maintains his powerful presence as he hears Edeldhurs warning of the beasts ability. He then focuses on instructing everyone in how to help each other to avoid its breath. If they paired up they could duck and cover more effectively, giving each other more time to react together then stand alone against so many opponents...

Swift Action Maintain Inspire Courage
MA: Move and get in Line with Arv
SA: Use Tactician - Give all Allies within 30ft Duck and Cover Teamwork Feat for 6 rounds. All Allies affected.

He moves to join Arv on their spread out front line, twirling his sword expertly as he stood ready to receive the dark ones coming there way. He laughs at Arv's excited expression and smiles broadly behind his dragon shaped visor. "Indeed my friend, that one is big enough to make some fine armor out of! However they will all rue the day they fought us!"

Kiritta calls over to Edeldhur:
Give us some protection from the acid that black one will attempt to use, then blast the ones on the ground, I will begin preparing for the big lizard.

Perfect! I will post the enemies actions in the afternoon, or before if able.

Suprise Round

"For Slobada" Venetia shouts, activating her battlefield presence ability to share paired opportunists.

Surprise Round - Standard Use Battlefield Presence, all allies within 30 gain Paired Opportunists until combat ends.

Round 1
Venetia begins moves up with Arv and Danath.

Quick question for Corsario - Can I use a Hero Point to modify a touch spell to work from a distance, or affecting an area, namely a buff on Edeldhur's companions?

Yes, go for it... Hero point to use touch spell from a distance... Just make it short distance...

Round 2 - Characters
Edeldhur's Empowered Fireball gets a second group of fey, but not one of them is stopped!

Round 2

Szymon apparently ignores the suggestion to spread out and only steps up behind the boulder. He fires at redcaps that survived the fireball and attempts to hit them with arrows.

He asks the group again, "Do the redcaps need cold iron to damage them?"

Round 2

Szymon apparently ignores the suggestion to spread out and only steps up behind the boulder. He fires at redcaps that survived the fireball and attempts to hit them with arrows.

He misses both shoots, but he thinks the one he shot earlier, now closer, doesn't seem very affected.

'Aye... it takes a great deal to get through their defenses without cold iron! And wait to strike... once you are in position, wait for them to come to you." He thinks for a moment...

"Danath... these foes are highly mobile. Perhaps a 3 2 defense? Szymon and I hold a second line to protect our 'robes'?"

moved
(my suggestion above is for melee to use readied actions to strike them.)

Initially taking a step forward, Edeldhur conjures his newfound powers, and in fact tapping upon that unique strength that lies within those called heroes, to bestow a protective ward upon his companions - "Friends, you now have added protection against Acid, it will help, but it will still not be enough to deter all the strength of his attack - stay alert!"

After doing so, he does decide to shift his positioning to the left, making sure they are not piled as he had suggested before.

Using that hero point then Corsario, and also a Mythic Point and Wild Arcana to cast Resist Energy, Communal - dividing the 70 minutes between us all, it should grant Acid Resistance 10 to all during 7.8 minutes approximately.

As he moves, his form blurred from the previous spell cast by Zraaz'ktar, he again urges his familiar - "Thrityh lil xuil lil. Plynn mina harl!"

The small creature, hovering above his master, fumbles with one of his wands for a moment, then points it towards one of the most wounded Redcaps, shaking it madly, and screeching.

UMD for Wand of Magic Missile DC20: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Not sure if the mephit needs to roll UMD for this, guess I really need to evolve him with that +8 UMD... But if he does have to roll, since I don't think they "cast spells as X":

He shakes and twists the fragile item, but no effect is produced, while Edeldhur simply smiles - "Ol zhah natha screa'in Zraaz'ktar, dos orn inbau gaer"

Using that hero point then Corsario, and also a Mythic Point and Wild Arcana to cast Resist Energy, Communal - dividing the 70 minutes between us all, it should grant Acid Resistance 10 to all during 7.8 minutes approximately.

To make it easy you all got Acid Resistance 10 for the duration of the encounter.

Edeldhur -- Actually, it should be 90 minutes and Acid Resistance 20. It increases to 20 at level 7 and 30 at level 11. Also, using Wild Arcana increases the CL by 2.

Szymon, I typed a witty spacey response to your Cold Iron inquiry several days ago. I have no clue what happened to it. Strange. I said that I did not know if Cold Iron would effect these fey, but that it was more powerful against most fey I knew of.
__________________

Realizing that this battle against black dragon may take more power than she has ever used before, Kiri reaches deep within herself and draws upon dark necromantic magic she despises, but knows may be necessary with a predator such as the dragon.

Use Wild Arcana to cast Spectral Hand.
I have a plan.

Keep blasting Edeldhur. Kill these fey everyone else.

Round 2

Ni in her huge dinosaur form starts to move in a rythmic sway, her clawed hands crackling with electricity as she held the power of lightning in her claws. At the height of her swaying she gestures to one of the injured fey...

Since it is sunny out I am assuming that it isn't... If you are outdoors and in a stormy area—a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni or an air elemental of at least Large size)—each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6.

Call Lightning on Wounded Fey - Indicated on map which one~: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) = 6
F: 5ft step

As the lightning slams down, barely harming the dark fey coming towards them she sidles up a little closure to Edel. Hoping that her bulky form would protect him from the worst of the dragon's attacks...

Round 2

Danath nodded grimly and raised his sword in a degenive stance, since it wasn't cold iron he had little chance to do as much damage as everyone else. However he would hold the line, so long as they had Edel and their other casters Victory was assured. "I agree Arv, Venetia and I can hold the front line." He raised his blade and prepared to receive the oncoming enemy charge with his longsword at the ready and his buckler poised to deflect the coming attack...

[oopc]Note: I have been playing Danath as if most of his gear is still with Aru as it wouldn't have made much sense for a noblemen like him to carry a longbow into a fancy dinner event or even a secret meeting. Sword and board however is totally legit lol. ;) Just FYI and Just me lol not saying anythign against anyone else. Just how Danath set himself up...[/ooc]

FA: Five Foot step to the left, Break up their ability to get a straight charge past our lines.

Lacking a means to hurt the Redcaps, Janus waits until somebody needs to healing.

Edeldhur -- Actually, it should be 90 minutes and Acid Resistance 20. It increases to 20 at level 7 and 30 at level 11. Also, using Wild Arcana increases the CL by 2.

You are absolutely correct Kiritta - thanks for pointing it out, I remembered that shortly after I had posted, but then I did not have time to correct it. And I thought no one would notice the mistake, and I would correct it later, but I forgot about my fellow wizard extraordinaire :D

Don't look at me, clearly I know nothing about arcane spells as I am just casting stupid low level spells like Spectral Hand and Fly. Surely I don't have anything special planned, ole master blaster.

Round 3

The small fey covered the ground rapidly, raising their medium size scythes menacingly as some broke off from their scattered formation and charge the lines of the Slobada Barons. There metal boots tore up the earth with their quick sprinting and as they closed with the barons they gave an eerie howl as their blood-lust became nearly uncontrollable.

Charge Against the following players: Danath, Arv, Venetia

Danath Readied Action: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 = 22
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Redcap Charge Attack + Power Attack Vs Danath: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 28
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 2d4 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 + 10 = 20

Redcap Charge Attack + Power Attack Vs Arv: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 13
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 2d4 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 10 = 20

Redcap Charge Attack + Power Attack Vs Venetia: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 21
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 2d4 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 + 10 = 18

Blood stains the green grass as Danath is slashed savagely with the Redcap's scythe, it's powerful charge bruising his ribs and the blade finding an opening in his armor when his counter attack left him wide open...

Danath's lashes out and succeed's in striking the little creature but his blade doesn't draw blade in fact the fey laughs in his face. Openly mocking the bigger man in front of his fellow's...

Left Flank

Ni'Tir proves to be the most popular among these small fey as several move to surround the largest opponent. Two of the vicious little beasts swing at her reptilian ankles, attempting to cut her down to size...

Redcap Charge Attack + Power Attack Vs Ni'Tir: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 14
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 2d4 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 10 = 21

Redcap Charge Attack + Power Attack Vs Ni'Tir: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 26
Redcap Damage + Power Attack: 2d4 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 + 10 = 19

Ni'Tir AoO + Surge Bite Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 5 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 5 + (3) + 1 = 20
Bite Damage + Power Attack: 2d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 + 1 = 12

Ni'Tir AoO - Grab Attempt Free - CMD 21: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 = 28

With a surge of divine power Ni'Tir snatches up one of the foolish fey that dared to walk right into her Jaws. Depite it's struggle the Fey is trapped fast in her powerful teeth, it's shrieks of dismay however do little to deter the others from pressing there attack.

With rough coordination the fey surround many of the fighters, some press pass the flank of the group and move to attack the wizards themselves!

Even the mighty Edeldhur finds himself nearly half a dozen of these savage little fey, even as the enlarged form of Ni'Tir stomps in rage next to him it provides little comfort for the grim odds they faced...

Even Janus is forced to contend with the bloody creatures as one slips past the front line, as it approaches on foot it runs a long nasty tongue across the edge of its scythe blade. Apparently this creature was looking forward to the the coming kill...

You guys are up, Map is updated! ROCK AND ROLL!

Round 3

Seeing his arrows doing minimal damage, he drops his longbow after the redcaps finally get within melee. He moves closest to the nearest one drawing his cold iron morningstar along the way. He then attempts to hit it.

He felt the weight of his enemies strike, the warmth of his lifeblood running down his sword armor as he tried to figure out what happened. He had hit and yet he did no harm to the creature and as more of them packed in to attack him he gave a powerful bellow. "Normal steel doesn't work and who has a holy symbol?!" He parries the next coming strike and grimaces as the enemy rush past to engage Arv and Lady Venetia.

Will post actions shortly... Sorry Work calls :P
