The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only a small group of heroes can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies.

Houserules:
Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Round 2
Gregor shares what he knows in an effort to aid his compatriots in the fight against the thing. "It's a Daemon, not a Demon. Leukodaemon to be exact. Do not waste time with any energy effects beyond sonic or force based attacks. Also, you will need either a holy weapon or one made of silver to have full-effect with your attacks, so Mithril works. Be wary, it has a penchant for spreading disease with its bow."
Bard song, Inspire Courage (round 2-4) +2 to atk/dmg
Sorry for the delay I was away from the pc for the past 2 days. Assume the channel from before was to heal
Crain I assumes most out of the cloud of flies going to d9 to attack.
Every attack in the first round misses the daemon.
Drakus is still in the cloud of flies and so takes another damage from flies:4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 2) = 14 14 damage, reflex save dc 21 for half and must make another dc 19 fort save or be sickened.
The demon steps back to F9 moving into a corner he targets Crain and shoots his bow loosing two arrows.
attack 1:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 372d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 1) + 8 = 15 attack 2:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 172d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 6) + 8 = 19
Make a fort save dc 21 with a -4 penalty for each hit, I assume 1.
Mai moves up and lands the first successful hit on the daemon dealing it 22 damage (assuming it doesn't bypass his Dr)

Round 3
Gregor sees the daemon back itself into a corner, and feels a little exulted by the prospect. "If we can keep him hemmed in, he'll have less options." he explains for the others.
Inspire courage continues +2 atk/dmg
Double move to F8 (as Pai said she was in G8).

DM, I forgot the Inspire Courage bonuses to my attacks and damage in my last post. Please add two to each attack and damage, although I suspect I still missed with both.

Round 4
Not having much else to resort to, Gregor swings his heavy mithral shield at the creature, knowing that at least the metal should help get past its defenses. "Great work, Crain, keep on him. Everyone, we must ensure that Sgt Drakus and Crain can continue to be at their best."
Last round of Bard song (but will redo next round)
Mithral shield bash, 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20, don't think it hits, but 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 5:
At Donager's comment, Gregor sneers "Maybe that's what they teach to the followers of a God whose claim to fame is being blackout drunk, but as a proud member of the Korvosan Guard, I will not just take a denizen of known plane of evil simply on their word. Sgt Drakus and I have the protection of the city to uphold, as is our duty, and we stand by it." Gregor hates to hear the kind of talk that equates to standing by and doing nothing, and it impassions his words.
Standard, Inspire Courage: +2 atk/dmg saves vs fear/charm (rounds 5-7)
Crain, don't you also get a -2 AC for raging? I think that's why the GM asked about the +6 you needed to have a 30 AC.

Aw heck, Gregor, you are right! I completely forgot that! So yes, I got hit with the first claw. Do I need a fort save for the attack? That makes my AC 28 while raging.
I thought something wasn't adding up although I'd forgotten about Ironskin as well.
Fort save vs contagion yes dc 19
attacks crain again.
Struck once more by crain but avoiding each other blow the demon says
"We will see mortal you may yet not survive this encounter." attack claw:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 201d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 attack claw:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 301d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
The demon is a little below half hp he has taken 55 damage (dr included) out of around ~100 hp...ac 23

Round 6:
Seeing one of their allies greatly wounded, and the cleric do nothing about it beyond swinging futilely at the daemon, Gregor rushes over to where he can safely cast a spell on Crain. "Stay with us Crain, you are definitely producing results."

Is that right? If you all haven't noticed, I'm a little bit out of my element playing a front liner (usually a caster), so please, if you see something wrong or that I am not doing my math correctly, please yell at me and I'll get it straightened out. I'll add the three HP now.
