DM-Camris' REIGN of WINTER Part 2: The Shackled Hut (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

Hommelstaub uses the tree for cover, and turns invisible.( you're not sure what square he's in now. but i leave him on the map at least at his last known position)

the sprites fire down on Caladan

red sprite: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 91d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1
blue sprite: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 221d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 not staggared.

Gondork is up

Gondork casts vanish...

Come out, come out wherever you are!

...before walking 10 feet in the direction of the struggling inquisitor.

for you it is more obvious where you're going: the 4 ft deep snow must at least make it function like invis underwater. but not as bad as 20% concealment. you still have total concealment. its just easy to see which "square" you're in.

regen 5

coupe de gras: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 + (3, 6) = 25

giacomo heals up gondork, while caladan fends for himself in the pit, shouting his location and apologizing for being separated. hommelstaub taunts you from the tree, proclaiming that the Cold shall have the last shiver, before turning invisible. taking a play from his book, Gondork vanishes, his trail leading off towards the igloo with the trapped inquisitor.

the fairies fire down on caladan, injuring him slightly with their needle-like arrows. Ten-penny takes her shortsword, and manages to sever the troll's head. "He's as good as i can get him for now. Get that fire started!"

Round 8
[20: Giacomo], [19: Arwyn], [19: Caladan], [17: Hommelstaub],[14: Red Sprite], [10: Gondork],[10: Teb Knotten], [9: Ten-Penny], [7: Blue Sprite]

[*bless up ]

shortbow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 111d6 ⇒ 1

heals 1

I'm sure that annoying thing will douse it again as soon as I light it, but at least I'll keep him busy, right?"

Giacomo starts lighting his torch again and waves it around triumphantly, hoping it'll attract the ire of the flying fey.

Caladan, duck!!

Gondork attempts to cut off the top of the Igloo Caladan is in, in order to create space for him to swing at the fey inside.

What kind of roll would that be? Sunder? Flat damage?

sounds like destroying something. flat damage. you auto hit / don't crit i think.

"Swing away!"

Giacomo lights his torch again, unmolested by the atomie. Gondork gets a surprise though, he feels an icy chill as the diminutive fey sneaks up on him, shoving an icy hand somewhere sensitive. ( 8 cold damage )

wintry touch: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 141d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6) = 8
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 not staggered

Hearing your plan, theres a tinkle from within the igloo, and suddenly the red sprite has emerged into the snowy outdoors, hiding her glow, she fires an arrow at Gondork before he realizes she's exited the igloo. One needle pings off his armor.

red sprite stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24
blue sprite stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

gondork: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 4 = 10

red sprite: 1d20 + 8 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 - 4 = 61d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2

the torch is lit up in giacomo's hands. Gondork is up. the atomie can't take attacks of opportunity. the red sprite from the igloo is visible outside and off to the side a bit. Gondork is close to badly injured himself. Gondork is up

Gondorks, somehow unfazed by all the frostburns, angrily turns around with a powerful backwards slash of his axe.

Attack, cold iron greataxe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 4) + 7 = 23

even decapitated, the organs cancerously grow, tendrils reaching out without much strength, towards the severed head.

"Giacomo, burn him!"

hah. a large body is only difficult terrain instead of quadruple difficult. i hop over Teb's body and reload my hand crossbow

the blue fairy makes itself known as it fires a dart at a weak spot in Gondork's armor, sending him crashing to the ground.

zomg. so sorry. i forgot gondork had vanish on him when the atomie attacked, just realized while coming up with the round in summary. 50% miss chance. high good. nothing ends up changing.
high good: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Giacomo lights the torch, expecting to act as bait for the atomie, drawing it out of hiding. Instead it attacks Gondork, tracking him by his steps through the snow. Gondork shrugs it off and swings his axe at the atomie, which zips aside, connecting with nothing but air. The red and blue sprites zip out of the igloo before gondork can react, peppering him with needle-like arrows. one of them connecting, sending him crashing to the ground. (unless he's got ferocity? but i thought not. something about never taking that, unless my mind's faulty on this? )

Ten penny yells for Giacomo to burn the body, while hopping over it and reloading her hand crossbow.

Round 9
[20: Giacomo], [19: Arwyn], [19: Caladan], [17: Hommelstaub],[14: Red Sprite], [10: Gondork],[10: Teb Knotten], [9: Ten-Penny], [7: Blue Sprite]

What kind of action is it to burn the body? I just have to touch it, meaning I can more or less drop it as a free action on top of him. If it's a free action, I also have the opportunity to Channel to get Gondork up again. If it's not, I'll take it as a standard action.
Also, what's the thing again with diagonals in difficult terrain? Do they count for even more? If so, it takes me a full round just to get where I am now.

Giacomo walks over to the troll, then touches the torch to its body.

"I'm sorry, Mister Troll, you're just too dangerous for us right now. I hope you'll have a better life in the afterlife."

Giacomo turns around to attend to the fight again, then sees Gondork on the ground.

"Oh, for the love of- I can't leave you alone for just a few seconds? Erastil almighty, you'd all be lost without me."

it was just 1 diagonal right? even increased i think it would just be a move action to cover that as 30 ft. Giacomo has a chance to standard action light the troll on fire.

1d3 ⇒ 1 fire

ok. no grappling hook. but i'm going to try and tie my rope to my bow, and throw that up there like a stick or anchor if i can wedge it against something up there, or a corner. double move pulling it out and tying it.

and i heal one.

Arwyn passes 6th round unc. and wakes up, though she's still blinded and stunned for 3 rounds.

free action to drop the torch on the troll after you light him, or you can wield it as an improvised weapon until you drop it next round when you can draw something or use the bow in your other hand. in which case you get an AoO when the Atomie comes in close to try and touch you.

aoo w/ torch: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 61d6 ⇒ 5

wintry touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 for 7 cold dmg
fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 (not staggered)

red sprite moves up, and shoots at Ten-Penny

red pixie arrow: 1d20 + 8 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 4 - 1 = 151d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1
fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 staggered from numbing cold.

Gondork is up

Ive sworn never to take ferocity again, haha. It has caused me so much trouble in the past..

I didn't see any numbers passing by, so I assume I took at least 2 damage taking me to -1 or worse?

I have 20 ft movement because I'm in medium armour. So I double-move until I'm next to the troll, still need to touch the damn troll with a standard. Also took 6 more damage. Currently at 10.

yeah, check the spoiler in the previous fey post. 2 dmg on the hit.

i think you're just at 8 dmg from the wintry touch and liquid ice.

oh. duh. right. gondork can't do much unconscious.

stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 1 = 4

bleeds 1

teb regenerates slightly. no danger of him waking up for another few rounds

hop back over the troll's body, and into flank
yay improvised weapons and bodies that cost less movement to leap from than snow!
acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

short sword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 101d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (2, 2) = 11
boo missing.

::edit:: nevermind anyway. she was staggered from the numbing cold.

blue sprite moves up and fires on giacomo screaming obscenities to "Leave hommelstaub alone, and my frozen foot, what have you done to teb you warm hearted monsters!

blue sprite: 1d20 + 8 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 4 - 1 = 151d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2
plink's off giacomo's armor

giacomo wades through snow as deep as he is tall to get to teb's body while caladan fashions a makeshift grappling hook from his bow to climb out of the pit he's in.

Hommelstaub goes after giacom, getting past his defenses with the torch to touch him, sending shivering cold down his spine. The red sprite shoots ten-penny, staggering her. All she's able to do is hop over the body and get into flank with the atomie and giacomo. The blue sprite misses giacomo with his needle like arrows.

Round 10
[20: Giacomo], [19: Arwyn], [19: Caladan], [17: Hommelstaub],[14: Red Sprite], [10: Gondork],[10: Teb Knotten], [9: Ten-Penny], [7: Blue Sprite]

improvised grappling hook: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 15
climb: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 4 = 3

caladan manages to secure the bow/grappling hook to the edge of the pit, but isn't able to climb out of the pit this round.

heals 1

Arwyn faded back to consciousness. Everything was still black, and she couldn't move. She tasted snow.
What? What happened?

and we know giacomo is finally close enough to burn Teb. he might also take out a better weapon than the torch so i'll let him roll his own AoO if he'd like to for what happens next.

the body of the troll lights up readily, the cancerous mossy growths suddenly blackening and curling inward.

Hommelstaub moves in towards Giacomo, trying to touch him again with his wintry chill againprovoking from giacomo for entering his square

wintry touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 ( looks like a hit for 3 cold damage )

I'll go grab a bow to shoot things. No AoO for me. It's stupid, but I literally only have a dagger as a backup weapon. Also, don't I need a save for stagger?
3 damage puts me at 7/17. This isn't looking good.

Giacomo starts laughing maniacially.

"See how your mighty guardian ended up! You have no chance of surviving this! Surrender and I'll treat you with mercy, or flee and I won't chase you. But know that continuing this fight will only end badly for you!"

spot on.
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

the red sprite fires at ten-penny again
red sprite: 1d20 + 8 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 - 1 = 161d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1
fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

gondork tries to stabilize
stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 2 = 13

short sword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 191d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (1, 2) = 10
The steel blade doesn't cut quite as deep, but its bite is certainly felt.

Gogo 10P!!

the blue fairy still has a bead on giacomo. which comes awfully close
blue fairy: 1d20 + 8 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 4 - 1 = 181d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1

Giacomo lights up teb, while arwyn gasps, blinking and shaking on the ground, groping around. Caladan secures the grappling hook, but fails to climb. Hommelstaub goes in for a kill on giacomo, but just wings him. The red sprite keeps tracking ten-penny and scores a graze.

Ten penny retaliates on hommelstaub, shoving her short sword in a deep gash on the fairy. but the creature seems rather hardy.

Round 11
[20: Giacomo], [19: Arwyn], [19: Caladan], [17: Hommelstaub],[14: Red Sprite], [10: Gondork],[10: Teb Knotten], [9: Ten-Penny], [7: Blue Sprite]

Hommelstaub replies. Eyeing giacomo with a cold sidelong glance.

Gah, noticed I used the wrong username. Hate it when I do that.

"Not giving up? Well, I hope Erastil has mercy on your souls!"

Giacomo holds his holy symbol in the air as he channels energy, excluding the enemies. Can't reach Caladan, I'm afraid.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Also, technically, Ten-Penny's sneak attack didn't go off, since I'm not wielding a melee weapon, so I don't threaten. If it's easier for you, I'll go draw a morningstar instead of my bow. I apparently had one.

ooh right. i was banking on the improvised torch being 'wielded' until you could take out your bow and shoot the next round. ooh. not as impressive a hit then. the sneak was only 3 dmg, so just 3 less. and just barely still hits without the flank.

climb: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 4 = 18
climb: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 4 = 15

yes, out of the frigging pit. and heal 1 from the judgement

Hommelstaub flies off, disappearing behind one of the igloos.

short sword: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 121d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

the red sprite switches from ten-penny to giacomo

shortbow: 1d20 + 8 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 4 - 1 = 51d2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2

Gondork is conscious but prone, with his axe on the ground in his square

Not much difference for me, forgot the storm imposed a -4 on ranged attacks, so now my to-hit is roughly the same for ranged and melee. If Ten-Penny was hoping I'd flank with her, I'd have drawn a melee weapon.

its ok. done is done. little fracker is hiding again anyway
"What I need is a bow with some of your cold iron arrows... ooh! "
looks over and sees arwyn spazzing on the ground...

"Dunno how to use a longbow though... "

"I hate pits."

Gondork groggily takes his light flail from his belt, then attempts to whack a fairy out of the air.

Attack, light flail, sudden insight: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 2
Damage: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4, 6) + 7 = 20

double move next to arwyn.
