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.

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..."

Donagar eyes the pair of daggers in the Sphinx's hands, and grows angry. Deftly, he sets his hammer to the ground, balancing it on the head so the haft sticks up.
Summoning his magic, he focus on the dagger in the Sphinx's right hand, and briefly reminds the blade of the heat of the Forge.
Setting down my hammer to free up a hand to cast the spell. Casting a Maximized, Intensified, Burning Disarm on the dagger. Take 40 fire damage, or make a DC 15 Reflex save to drop the dagger and take no damage, her choice.

Drakus marches up next to Crain and fronts his shield. Then he sets his Bardiche to receive a charge.
"'Bound to obey?' What kind of battle cry is that?" He asked loudly.
reflex:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 "More a complaint than a battlecry really" replies the Sphinx casually tossing her dagger to the ground and casting Unholy Blight on Drakus Donagar and Crain.
damage:5d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5, 7) = 26 will save dc 19 or be sickened for 1d4 rounds.
"Be quiet Sivith and stop holding back." says Vimanda

Will save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Gritting his teeth, he summoned his will to throw off most of the cloying oily mists effects.
"Orders eh? I understand. But maybe we can change that." He mused aloud.
He charged the foxwoman.
Bardiche charge attack:1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 magic, silver and slashing damage.

Will:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 Pass. Taking 1/4 damage, as I'm neutral, not good. 69/75 hp and not sickened.
Picking up his hammer, Donagar holds it in front of his face and lets it go. Instead of falling, the hammer holds its position.
Activating Dancing Weapon
"Seem I have a challenger. Good just watching gets boring. Sivith leave this one to me" says Vimanda and she vanishes reappearing right next to Drakus a moment after. "What you didn't think I was helpless did you? I am the best huntress of my tribe." she gloats

Ow.
Drakus took a step back and used his bardiche against the foxwoman.
Bardiche attack 1:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 slashing, magic and silver damage.
Bardiche attack 2:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 slashing, magic and silver damage.
...Crit confirm?:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 for a possible extra 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 slashing, magic and silver damage.

"Best of your tribe? A laughable tribe then, I'm sure." Donagar taunts, as he throws a spell at the fox, then moves up to the sphinx so his dancing hammer can attack.
Ranged Touch Attack vs Fox's weapon, Sands of Time (Maximize, Intensify, Reach):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 28 points of damage if it hits. Probably a good time to ask how you treat AC for wielded objects, GM, since RAW is pretty quiet on this.
Sorry totally forgot! If this happens and I don't post after a day or two put something in ooc to get my attention
Crain didn't roll his fort save vs poison.
Drakus landed landed one hit on the fox woman with no effect. (0 damage)
Crain hit the sphinx once (4 damage)
Donagar missed with his spell.
Mai hit the sphinx with sneak attack (9 damage)
The fox woman hits Drakus in the chest with special punch with her left hand sending weird vibrations into his body. (stunning fist)
stunning fist:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Fort save dc 19 to resist stun.
She then follows that up with a strike from her kukri.
attack:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 311d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (1) = 9 sneak attack if stunned:2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 confirm crit/exra damage if confirmed:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
I probably should have asked this before but anyone got knowledge the planes to know what their DR is and what bypasses it? Also you guys need an arcane caster I think I will try to look for another member.

Donagar hold his shield up, running around the Sphinx, to get a better shot lined up with the Fox, and putting his allies on the other side in a more advantageous position, even knowing he was opening himself up to attack as he moved.
"Try something Good, Drakus! She's Evil!" He yelled.
Once he was on the other side, he allowed his hammer to attack the Sphinx again, and threw another spell towards the Fox.
Empowered Intensify Burning Disarm. If she passes a DC 16 Reflex Save, she can choose to take the damage or to drop it for no damage 10d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1) = 18x1.5=27 fire damage If the Sphinx doesn't attack me on the way, I'll cast defensively. defensive cast if needed: DC 17:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
And even though it's futile... Dancing Hammer Attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Dancing Hammer Damage:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

DM, I had previously cast Shield so my current AC is 28, then minus two for Bloodewge, so it is currently 26 and I was missed, so I don't need a Fort save. I hadn't update my ac in my header, but I've done it now.
Realizing the creature had some sort of control over the sphinx, Crain moved to attack it instead.
Sickened Power Attack with Bloodrage 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 2 = 31

"If we make it to tomrorow, sure, Forge-Father willing!" Donagar shouts back to Mai.
"And you should put the knife DOWN!" he continues, moving up to the Fox in between Drakus and Main and casting another spell at her dagger. Putting some distance between me and Sivit...
Defensive Cast, DC 17:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 Empowered Burning Disarm:5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 1, 2) = 11x*1.5=16 fire damage or reflex save DC 16 to drop the kukri
Following along, the Hammer floating in front of Donagar strikes out at the Fox-woman.
Hammer vs Fox:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Hammer vs Fox:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
crit confirm?:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 extra damage:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9 and if that hits, here's the extra dice, for a total of 15 from the hammer and 16 fire, before any DR/resists/dagger dropping
The fox lady shift her target from drakus to Crain twisting around and using her special technique on him.
stunning fist:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Fort save dc 19 to resist stun.
She then follows that up with a strike from her kukri.
attack:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 211d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (4) = 10 sneak attack if stunned:2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Donagar casts another spell, targeting the Fox's dagger, as his hammer takes another swing -its last- before it stops dancing. Donagar catches it in his hand before it falls to the ground.
Defensive Cast: DC 17:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21 Touch Attack:Reach/Empowered Sands of Time:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 No Save if hit: -1 STR, -1 DEX, & -1 CON At this rate, we might be better off with ability damage than hp damage. With all the potential strength damage, she'll end up encumbered soon/eventually, which means she loses Monk AC benefits...
Do you want to skip ahead? At this rate this battle could go on for weeks. I mean the fox lady has ac 28 and dr 10/good and still around 100 hp left and sivith is even tougher.
