GM Fez's Hell' Rebels (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

Rocco and Kurglunn both move toward the Insect Zoo to join the others. "What is it? Can you see," the halfling asks, bouncing on his toes to try to get a view.

Also moved Morricone's token up to join the party since he had stated he was looking at the body.

"NEED SOME LIGHT UP HERE!" Talon yells!

Technically we shouldn't need a LOT of light this round and the next 2 rounds after. All the spiders are COVERED in sparkling dust even if they made their save! +20 to our perception checks! No problems seeing them as long as SOME light is available I think.

As the rest of the party closes on the insect zoo the shining spiders close in on Talon...

You get 1 AoO against 1 of them since they are tiny they provoke when attacking but you get 1 AoO per round unless you have combat reflexes

Attack roll (Cyan vs Talon): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (1) - 4 = -3With poison

Attack roll (Magenta vs Talon): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1With poison

Attack roll (Blue vs Lirotha): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (1) - 4 = -3With poison

Note that the blinded spiders are disoriented and run in circles instead of attacking you. Lirotha please roll Fortitude DC10 unless Talon suceeds on a AoO against the charging blue spiders IF he has a melee weapon out (and this would be his AoO for this round) and he kills the spider before it can reach you

"Dammit! I hate spiders! They're all over the place!" The Man known as The Hound of Kintargo says as he hops back and forth trying to dodge the spiders that come scuttling towards him.

Seeing one of the spiders headed towards Lirotha he tries to squash it, slamming his black leather booted foot down on it.

AoO with Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Actually I have my Starknife ready this fight...that's why i dropped the harrow card earlier to cast the spell, so...don't I get an AoO too? =)

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Damn spiders! For the love of the GODS...SOMEBODY KILL SOMETHING!"

Sorry guys, Lirotha is getting tired of being the one that seems to always gets hit first in these silly scuffles!

@Lirotha: yes you get an AoO, anyone attacked by those tiny spiders does at least one per round

Oren takes a 5' step northwest and swings twice at the purple tinged spider.

Attack with Mutagen 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 8

Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

Would someone move me please?

Would someone move me please?

Done!

Talon stops the spider's mad dash for Lirotha's ankles by squashing it under his boot! Unfortunately Oren's swings fail to have the same effect.

Rocco moves up and launches a bit of rubble at the light blue spider.

Telekinetic projectile, IC, into melee: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 23 Damage, IC: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The Hound tries booting the one spider trailing a cyan coloured string back to his buddies.

Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Rocco's telekinetic bullet cuts another spider in half and it falls on the ground with a soft wet sound...

Blue was killed by Talon with an AoO. Redirecting Rocco's bullet to cyan

The Hound cannot repeat his previous exploit and the spider he's trying to stop easily avoids him.

Morricone stops his performance, moves around the others and slashes at the purple spider.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Taking a step back, Lirotha draws a new card, charges it, and throws at one of the spiders (black) nearby!

Deadly Dealer Card: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage(Magic/Piercing): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Valrani steps into the room and swats at the magenta spider with her staff.

"Stay away!"

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11

She yells, crushing the spider with her staff.

@Valrani: did you take inspire courage into account? I believe Morricone has lingering performance. If you didn't you kill the spider otherwise you miss

Nope, I didn't, so extra +1 to hit and damage. Ew, AC 18, they are tough to land a blow on!

Yep I do have lingering performance!

Good man, Morricone! And well done, Val! Another spider decorates the floor with its guts.

In life, Kurglunn was never particularly brave. He was always strong, even as a young half-orc lad in the midst of a full-blooded orc tribe he was known for his strength, but still the others despised him and drove him off, playing on his lack of brains and his natural inclination to attach himself to a more charismatic figure to inspire a deep fear within him that endures even after his untimely death.

But there was always one thing that Kurglunn hated and feared more than anything else.

He. Hates. Insects.

Of course, he doesn't really know the difference between a bug, an insect, an arachnid, or whatever. He just knows that if it creeps and crawls and skitters around on too many legs, he hates it and wants it dead. Now!

So, as he and Rocco near the insect zoo, and he catches sight of the spiders spreading out around the room, he flies into the nearest thing he can get to a rage, and throws himself at the first spider he can see. Thankfully, Lirotha has already dealt the spider a blow with one of her cards (see what I did there? :P ). But still the spider lives, and that is something Kurglunn cannot allow to continue.

Slam, power attack, IC: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 15 Slam, pa, IC: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5

Valrani kills another spider. Unfortunately Kurglunn doesn't imitate her, mising the agile arachnid with its ectoplasmic fists. Lirotha wounds the same target with one of her magical cards but it's not enough to kill the resilient creature!

Not making great distinction between living foes or dead ones the blackish spider tries to bite on Kurglunn!

Attack roll (Black vs Kurglunn): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (1) - 4 = -3 If wounded DC10 fort check or become poisoned

The other spiders try to shake off the effects of Lirotha's magic while moving in circles...

Only the yellow one manages the feat and immediately tries to avenge itself on the Hound!

Attack roll (Yellow vs the Hound): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (2) - 4 = -2

But probably still being half blind it misses!

The Hound and Kurglunn get one AoO each

The Hound puts his foot down on the spider with the yellow stripes.

Improved Unarmed Strike AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Then runs to do the same to the red one.

Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Oren takes a 5' step northeast and swings twice at the yello tinged spider.

Attack with IC and Mutagen 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 26
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 13

Would someone move me please?

Done! NOTE: Didn't I hit the black spider earlier? I might not have killed it, but I should have done SOMETHING to it right?

With a clear shot on the black spider still, Lirotha will draw and enhance another Harrow card before throwing again!

Deadly Dealer Card: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage(Magic/Piercing): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

However, Lirotha only hits the stone floor with her card, making a cracking sound and creating some small magical sparks.

The Hound's counterattack misses the yellow spider then he moves up and kicks the red one. The creature is wounded but apparently still alive.
Oren on the other hand has no problem getting rid of the yellow spider with her fists while Lirotha's magic card misses the black spider fighting with Kurglunn...

Went ahead and removed the yellow spider from the map since he's squishified.

Frustrated, Lirotha throws again!

Deadly Dealer Card: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage(Magic/Piercing): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Morricone moves forward and slashes at the green spider.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Valrani moves around the back of the one attacking Kurglunn.

"Take that you horrible thing." she says slamming her staff into..

attack, flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

the floor.

Morricone deals with the green spider while Lirotha and Valrani, perhaps secretely scared of the ugly arachnids, mis them with both of their attacks.
Kurglunn keeps attacking the black spider and...

Slam, PA, IC: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 24 -> Damage roll: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 8

Crit. Confirmation check: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 16 -> Damage roll: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 8

And leaves nothing of the creature but a dark stain on the floor...

The surviving spiders try to shake off their magical induced blindness...

Neither one having much luck though.

The Hound tries to stomp on whats left of the red spider again.

"Eat boot!"

Improved Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Talon finishes the red spider off while, despite its blindness, the orange one avoids Oren's swing.

Realizing that the fight is all but over, Rocco moves into the Insect Zoo and approaches the corpse.

Kurglunn moves into a flanking position with Oren, wiping the bug guts off of himself the whole time.

Rocco and Kurglunn advance towards the last remaining spider while their companions try to remove it as well...

Valrani dashes across the room to the last spider, but the obstacles prevent her getting there in time to strike it.

"This place is a mess" she moans.

Stepping up as well to follow Rocco towards the corpse, she whispers to him as the others finish off stomping spiders.

"Hey short-stuff! Think you could use the wand on this spider bite? It hurts like...heck!"

Moving toward the spider, Morricone turns the blade down, and in a strong, 2handed grip ramms the iron down.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The last spider standing tries to sink its fangs into Oren...

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 -> Damage roll: 1d3 - 4 ⇒ (2) - 4 = -2 DC10 fort save or be poisoned

And suceeds injecting its poison into the Tien's system...

The Hound seeing everyone around the itsy bitsy spider thinks that surely it's done for and moves to the archway leading down the corridor and puts his musket to his shoulder and aim's down the corridor. Just in case trouble shows up. If it does, he has a bullet with their name on it. Ready Action to shoot any threats that may emerge.

Fort 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Lol, dammit!

Oren tries to squash the spider.

Attack with IC and Mutagen and Flank 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Attack with IC and Mutagen and Flank 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

I didn't take any minuses from the poison, so feel free to add those in, DM.

Out of combat

Oren kills the last spider but not before it bites and poisons her.
Aside from that, thus far your infiltration into the Fantasmagorium has proceeded smoothly.

Oren: you had an AoO against the spider but you would've been hit anyway, unfortunately. You lose 1 str and have to check again each round until you save DC10 fort. Saving gets rid of the poison but not of the damage

Dim light conditions, who's providing lighting?

Fort saves 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Valrani dashes up and tries to help draw out the poison.
heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"That should help a little.." she says to her patient.

Valnari is providing light from a cantrip

Rocco draws out the healing wand and gives Lirotha a tap.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
34 charges remaining on the wand

Oren metabolism stops the spider's poison from spreading through her system although she feels slightly weakened by it. Meanwhile Valrani rushes to help and Rocco heals Lirotha of her wounds.

As Talon and the rest of the Ravens check the corpse they find out it still carries a silver unholy symbol of Asmodeus along with a vial of silver dust and what looks like 4 scrolls of magical origin. He still wears a well made breastplate and clutched in his hand the Ravens find the a gold-plated “Hocum’s Fantasmagorium” charm, apparently from the Fantasmagorium's gift store.

After checking the body out the Silver Ravens recover the trail and notice how it ends nearby. Thanks to the magical illumination provided by Valrani it's easy for them to shed light on a circular alcove off this hallway cradles a lovingly maintained statue of a regal man, his arms outstretched and his chest adorned with a carving of a winged eye. Empty picture frames line the walls.

That bite was still smarting but Oren tried to keep her focus and looked around.

"Let's move on. We can figure out this stuff later!"
