Willpower Save 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Judge: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Jax: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Okay, everyone is fine but the kobold. Ulp, you tumble helplessly in the air and drop everything you're holding. You are also deafened. Take no actions this round.

Everyone else: if you can beat a 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 on your init, you can act before the stone figures do.

sweet, I am still invisible and undetectable. init for later 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 init

Ulp spends his first round counting the mighty dragons spinning about his head breathing electricity

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Init:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Jax has a super goodl linguistics check :(

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
For fun: linguistics: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Init: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Dren: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Okay, everyone but Dren can act.

Dren: d20+8

Okay, everyone but Dren can act.

I beat a 5 with a 14 correct? Or is there something else in the room?

Ah whoops, my bad. Yes, you beat it and you can act.

Golems...how droll...

Knowing his powers can do little to Golems, Dren casts Bless on the group.

Go get them boys. +1 morale bonus to hit and saves against fear for 15 minutes.
He then steps back 20' from the group.

1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42 arcana for info on these golems. Not that I can talk about it until I come to

Jax, Edmin, Judge?

Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43 Possible crit!
Confirm crit: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

Damage1d12 + 32 ⇒ (11) + 32 = 43

Crit damage: 2d12 + 64 ⇒ (7, 8) + 64 = 79

Attack: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 19 + 2 = 36
Damage 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

only one attack edmin?

Figured I had to move, so only one.

Figured I had to move, so only one.

Correct, you had to move.

Wow, that does serious, major damage. The thing has DR, but enough gets through to smash a big hole in it. Another hit like that -- or, really, any hit at all -- will finish it off.

Oh wait, RAGNAR HIT! Holy smokes, not used to that. The DR absorbs half the damage, but what's left is enough to finish it!

The ancient statue crumbles into rubble.

...

Seeing Edmin demolish the first statue, the Judge floats through the second statue and then assumes material form while behind the statue.

Move: Float/fly behind creature
Standard: Return to corporeal form

Goal is to set up flanking and also prepare to use Butterfly Sting should the Judge get a crit.

Jax will move up to the other statue, making good use of his arcane pool and spells again. Brink lets out a low humming sound as he grows sharper, lined with an edge of cold. Swift action Enchant (5/12 AP left) to make Brink a +5 Keen Frost Scimitar

He channels electricity through the blade, bringing it crashing toward the statue. Attack: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
Damage:: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 and 1d6 ⇒ 1 cold and 10d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 6, 4) = 38 electricity.

It takes 18 points of damage. (Your electricity seems to bounce right off it, fizzling away into the air.) Since there's flanking, you do get that die of SA damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6. So, total 24.

Okay, the surviving construct gets its turn. It raises its crude weapon... and then suddenly lunges forward with startling speed, almost blurring as it strikes again and again. Sparks fly as Jax and Brink struggle to parry the thing's massive blows! Full attack on Jax: 1d20 ⇒ 121d20 ⇒ 141d20 ⇒ 141d20 ⇒ 20

Check for critical on that last one (good thing it was the last one): 1d20 ⇒ 20

Huh.

Well then: damage is 9d6 + 48 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 3, 1, 6, 3, 1, 6) + 48 = 83. Hmf, should have used Power Attack.

Oh, and it's visibly healing (regenerating? repairing?) the damage it's taken -- after just a few seconds, the injury Jax dealt it is half closed. (The other one is remaining a pile of rubble, though.)

Round Two -- back to you guys.

Power attack: 1d20 + 24 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 24 + 1 = 39
Damage. 1d12 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 34

It has reach, so you'll eat an AoO. 1d20 ⇒ 17 Edmin, take 3d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) + 16 = 29 damage.

dang, really should have used Power Attack.

Dm any thing on my knowledge check earlier?

Jax deals 3d6 sneak attack now, so an extra 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 also, if its vulnerable to ability damage, it takes 3 Strength damage from the Pressure Points talent.

Jax hisses as the statue's large stone arms clobber at him. Should have used Lunge.. He cracks a grim smile, blood trickling from his lips. "That's the last time you hit me...I hope. Hit the one in the shiny metal armor!"

Now in position, the Judge swings his small Kukri, hoping to confuse the creature and make it easier for this companions to get a devastating shot in.

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 2 = 20 <-- +2 flanking, not sure if there are other bonuses
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The Judge frowns as all his swings are poorly aimed at best.

Hard to get crits when the high roll is an 8.

Does a faint voice whisper in the Judge's ear: "Cupcake..."?

Dm any thing on my knowledge check earlier?

Sorry -- you were too discombobulated to do a knowledge check. You can do it this round and keep the roll, but that's your action.

Dren casts heal, then moves over to Jax and removes all of his wounds.

Heals you 150 points.

Puts you in reach, but fortunately this guy doesn't have Combat Reflexes.

knowledge usually does not take an action to use barring special circumstances, and I am pretty sure we have never had to use an action in combat to know if we know what something is before. Are you making a change?

Hm, fair enough. They're constructs, all right. Big ones!

Special statues! Obviously immune to electricity! Can't make them tired or anything like that!

Up fire bombs note that if the first one does not do any damage, then Ulp will swap to his bow and try that. He also uses unstable excelerants

1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 22 + 1 = 37 for 8d6 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1) + 7 + 1 + (5) = 38
1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 1 = 30 for 8d6 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 6, 2, 4, 5, 3) + 7 + 1 + (6) = 41
1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 = 21 for 8d6 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1) + 7 + 1 + (4) = 30

Mythic Rapid Shot
1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 1 = 34 for 8d6 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 6) + 7 + 1 + (1) = 33

Boom boom kaboom! Its DR works against each bomb, mind you. (Also, are you tracking your bomb numbers?)

The damn thing is still standing, and it's visibly healing itself. It continues to attack.

Dren casts heal, then moves over to Jax and removes all of his wounds.

Heals you 150 points.

Nice.

1d20 ⇒ 21d20 ⇒ 151d20 ⇒ 101d20 ⇒ 7

Whang whang clang. Just one hit this time (and I forgot PA again, dangit). Jax, take 3d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) + 16 = 29 damage.

Next round! Everybody act.

yes I am DM, was just waiting to find out if the fire hurt, if it had not then I only would have used one bomb and 3 arrows. The bomb number listed in my stat line is correct.

Power Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 24 + 1 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d12 + 32 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 32 + 1 = 45

Wow!

Power Attack1: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 2 + 1 = 24
Damage1d8 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25

Power Attack2: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 33
Damage1d8 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

Fluidly moving around behind the stone creature and hoping to draw its focus so as to aid Edmin's attacks:

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 2 = 39 <-- possible crit
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Attack-kukri: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28 <-- possible crit
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Confirm Crit 1: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 2 = 26
If this hits, use Butterfly Sting to give crit to next to hit. Should be Edmin's 1st attack.

Confirm Crit 2: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 2 = 24
If this hits, use Butterfly Sting to give crit to next to hit. Should be Edmin's 1st attack.

Once a hit is confirmed, the Judge will stop attacking so as to allow his companions to attack/gain the benefit of the crit.

[ooc] holding ulps bombing cause I have a feeling it is dead

Are you all done playing with that piece of stone yet?

With a roar of rage, Sir Edmin charges the stone thing. The headsman's axe of Branderscar falls, rises, and falls again. There is crash, a grinding grate of metal on stone, another crash.

The stone thing crumbles under Edmin's furious assault. In a few moments he's standing, breathing heavily, over a pile of gravel with a few larger chunks mixed in.

That's pretty good for an axe, murmurs Brink. Still not talking to me, though. Taciturn fellow.

Edmin checks the edge of The Headsman's Axe with his thumb and seems satisfied at his finding. "Right then. Now that I have destroyed these ...whatever they are...Continue with your research. Maybe it will help us against this damn worm."
