Luckily for the party, Nuria is neutral, so the protection from good spell on it doesn't help it against the bard.

Round 3 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Senja-acted
Nuria-acted
Snake-nauseated
Kali
Asvald
Serpentfolk
Eva

Nuria's spell takes the snake out of the fight! Kali and Asvald are up.

Dice rolls:
DC 17 Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Kali waits a moment to see what Asvald will do.

The thing is front of Asvald is nauseated but it's still in the way. I'm going to have to kill it.

Asvald chops fiercely at the vomiting snake.

Chop (inspire): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28

If Asvald kills the snake, Kali asks, "Hey big guy, could you help me flank this weirdo?"

AIUI, you can't make AoOs when you're nauseated, so Asvald could have just bull rushed the snake.

Asvald hits the snake solidly, but does not quite kill it.

Unsure of her odds going to toe to toe with the serpentfolk in the room, Kali uses some of her Ki again to vanish. She then moves invisibly to the other side of the chamber.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Probably wise, Kali.

Round 3 (ongoing; modified):

Initiative order
Snake-nauseated
Kali-acted
Asvald-acted
Serpentfolk-acted
Eva
Senja-
Nuria-

The serpentfolk emits a spitting chuckle, then moves up and tries to stab at Asvald. It misses badly. Eva, you're up! Once you've acted, Senja and Nuria can go.

Dice rolls:
Rapier attack on Asvald, including cover: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 4 = 10

Eva frowns at Asvald. "Here, swap places with me." I believe I can Ready to bull rush the snake when Asvald steps back. He can then proceed with his regular turn (using the rest of his move to move right back into the square he's in now).

DM, let me know if that's not okay.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

That's reasonable.

Not that it seems necessary this round, Eva, but remember your Fortune hex!

Senja grunts in frustration as his hex fails to affect the serpentfolk, then tries something a little more direct. Pausing briefly in his mad laughter, he takes a deep breath and makes a face as if screaming as loudly as possible for someone of his stature, cupping his hands around his mouth as he focuses on the snake blocking the hallway!

Maintain Fortune on Eva, cast ear-piercing scream on the snake, DC 17 Fort save for half damage and avoid being dazed.

Sonic damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) = 10

Round 3 (ongoing; modified):

Initiative order
Snake-nauseated
Kali-acted
Asvald-acted
Serpentfolk-acted
Eva-readied
Senja-acted
Nuria-

Senja's spell easily penetrates the snake's resistance. In its wounded state, it can't survive the sonic assault, and falls.

Nuria, and Eva can change her action.

SR check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Gah, forgot about the Fortune hex! Thanks for the reminder!

Eva smiles as the snake collapses, relaxing her body and instead striding forward and grabbing the other snake-man by the wrist! Grapple. Want me to reroll or use that roll?


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

No, reroll the grapple. It'll get an AoO on you as you advance, though, unless you make your Acrobatics check.

I should have cover from the corner of the room as I advance, no?

Grapple: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 20
Fortunate Grapple: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 29

Edit: if for some reason I don't get cover from the corner of the room, here's Acrobatics.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

It's when you move into the square formerly occupied by the snake that it gets the AoO, since it still threatens the square Asvald is in even though he has cover from it.

HP 39/39; AC:20, T:13, FF:17; Fort:+5 Ref:+10 Will:+6; CMD 16; Init+11; Perc+15; Darkvision;

Nuria does pulls a whip and does her best to try and pull the snake man onto his backside - although she is momentarily distracted by the though of what a serpentfolk's but actually looks like.

trip cmb, cover: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 4 = 23

Right, it threatens the square, but cover prevents AoOs... "You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you."


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

You're right--knowing that, I probably would have had him do something different, but c'est la vie.

Nuria is unable to trip up the agile serpentfolk, but with the aid of Senja's hex Eva gets a good hold on it.

Round 4:

Initiative order
Kali-
Asvald-
Serpentfolk-
Eva-
Senja-
Nuria-

Kali and Asvald are up! Kali, another DC 18 Fort save or take another point of STR damage.

Dice rolls:
Potential STR damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Heedless of the cleverly positioned serpentfolk Asvald barrels into the room and brings his sword to bear.

Chop (inspire): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 17

Fort Save + Antitoxin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Invisible Kali casts another Snowball spell, hoping that this one hits.

Snowball vs. Grappled target + IC + Invisible - Melee: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 12

Cold Damage + Precision Damage: 5d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 2, 2) + 2 + (3, 6) = 20

Round 4 (ongoing; rearranged):

Initiative order
Serpentfolk-acted
Eva-
Senja-
Nuria-
Kali-
Asvald-

Asvald hits the serpentfolk solidly, but even held the creature's magical defenses and agility allow it to avoid the worst of the blow. It likewise manages to evade Kali's spell. Then it somehow manages to slip out of Eva's grasp despite the monk's skill, stepping back quickly afterwards and shouting, "SANAZ!"

Eva, Senja, and Nuria can act, and then Kali & Asvald.

Dice rolls:
Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
Perception check: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Random roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Serpentfolk: AC 20 T 17 FF 15 -17 HP

Eva steps forward and grabs at the serpentman again.

Grapple: 1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 3 + 2 = 19
Fortunate Grapple: 1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 3 + 2 = 18

Round 4 (ongoing; rearranged):

Initiative order
Serpentfolk-acted

Senja-
Nuria-

Asvald-

Forewarned, it easily evades Eva's attempt.

I suppose this would be helpful:

Serpentfolk: AC 20 T 17 FF 15 CMD 27 -17 HP

Keeping up his wacko laughter, Senja conjures up a shadowy helping hand to bolster Kali in the fight!

Move action to cackle, standard to use Fortune hex on Kali, to help with the poison saves. Sorry I didn't think of that last round, Kali, but at least you made the most recent one. If I can't quite reach Kali, I'll ask Nuria to five foot step forward, so Senja can do the same and be in hex range.

Thanks Senja. I'm good on the poison saves, but I'll take it for attack rolls.

Kali casts Shocking Grasp then moves into melee with the Serpentfolk and attempts to touch him with her electrified fingers. Even with good fortune from Senja, she fails to make contact.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Fortune Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

Senja gives Kali some good fortune, but the kitsune is still unable to tag the agile snake. If you hit, Kali, don't forget to roll to penetrate SR.

Nuria and Asvald can act!

Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 14


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Suggestions for Nuria's action?


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Sorry about not pushing this--with Nuria and Senja mostly afk, it was easy to let slide. Botting Nuria.

The ifrit maintains her inspiring chant and steps into the room behind Eva and Asvald, trying again to trip up the serpentfolk. She does not succeed.

Trip with whip,incl. soft cover penalty: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 = 20

Round 5 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Serpentfolk-acted
Eva-
Senja-
Nuria-
Kali-
Asvald-

Wounded and faced with a pair of potent and still-unwounded foes, the serpentfolk withdraws and retreats through a previously hidden door.

Kali, another DC 18 Fort save or take a point of STR damage. If you make this save, you won't have to make any more. Everyone can act!

I already made two saves against this batch of poison, does it require three saves? In fact, I made the first save with a reroll from Eva, so I don't think I even needed to make the second save.

Yeah, I made two consecutive saves, check the previous page of the thread.


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Actually, I forgot to ask you to make a save on Round 3; you saved on Rounds 2 & 4, looks like. Since it was my error I'll give it to you.

You saw the serpentfolk retreat through it. Anyone who wants to go through, make a Perception check vs. DC 20. If you make it, you can open the secret door as a move action; otherwise, it's a full-round action.

Senja hurries up, but isn't able to get through the door. Asvald opens the door at Kali's direction, revealing a huge room. Double doors stand on the south wall. To left and right of those doors are six alcoves, some empty and some with rough bedding on the floor. In the center of the main chamber is the Spire core, shedding its familiar cold green light over what is clearly a temple. A stone serpent winds around the Spire, its head crowned with flame. To the north is a raised altar, and behind it a wall mosaic pulses with green light. The serpentfolk is near the Spire core; there is a narrow gap in the floor around the core.
