GM Fez's Hell' Rebels (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

Oren activates her pummeling style, hoping to punch her way through its resistances to damage and readies an action to kick it in the teeth when it approached.

Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Lirotha immediately pulls some gold coin from her sash.

Random Gold Coin grab: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

She then throws them at feet of the Xorn!

"Wait! Does anybody speak...Terran I think? It's a Xorn! It eats metal and...gems I think? We maybe able to negotiate with it! Grab something metal! As much as possible! It's not picky, and I think it will tear through us for it anyway!"

Rocco sighs sadly, but speaks up despite his reluctance. "Yeah, I found some jewelry on those dead guys in the drug den. Gimme a minute..."

We recovered 2400gp worth of jewelry and such from the addicts' bodies after we fought their spirits. I suppose we could give up some of that, though the money would also be quite nice... :(

I stressed metal, not gems. So feel free to offer him something else if you have anything else!

The Xorn ignores the money Lirotha threw at him and advances, bellowing as he does...

... the creature runs towards Kurglunn, smashing into him. The ghost tries to hit the creature back but his fists don't seem capable to hit the monster...

Attack roll(bite vs Kurglunn): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22 → Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 1) + 5 = 20

The Xorn takes a huge chunk of ectoplasmic matter out of poor Kurglunn!

Those readied attacks need to be used when the Xorn is in range. From where you are standing on the map none of you but Kurglunncan hit (and Kurglunn needs natural 20s it seems...)

Round 01/02 - Bold may act

Lirotha
Oren
Kurglunn -20hp
Valrani

Xorn

Elurius
Rocco
Talon

Vanrani mutters under her breath and stalks into the room, delivering a solid two handed strike with her magical staff at the xorn.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
damage(magic,blunt): 2d6 + 1 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6) + 1 + 6 + 3 = 18

"CRAP! Kill it! Its probably insane now!"

Desperate, Lirotha tries her Disrupt Connection hex on the Xorn!

Oren rushes forward to join the melee against the beast, trying to punch her way through its resistances.

Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Would someone be so kind as to move me?

Valrani and Oren rush in and attack the extraplanar menace, but their attacks go wide!

Sorry, I didn't see that before...

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

Assuming that means I should try something else then, Lirotha wlll quickly move in and switch to another hex instead! NOTE: Could I attempt to dispel the magic binding it here now that I know what is holding it?

She tries her Slumber Hex instead!

DC16 Will Save (Xorn): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

The Xorn doesn't seem affected by Lirotha's magic.

Round 01/02 - Bold may act

Lirotha
Oren
Kurglunn -20hp
Valrani

Xorn

Elurius
Rocco
Talon

Kurglunn is at AC24 right now due to Mage Armor. His regular ectoplasmic AC is 20, and the spell brings him up to 24.

Frightened and alarmed by the xorn's powerful attack, Kurglunn strikes back out of instinct as much as from desire.

Slam 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Slam 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

On a hit, the xorn must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 15) or be shaken for 1d4 rounds.

While Kurglunn continues his ineffective assault on the xorn, Rocco reaches into his haversack and pulls out the scroll that comes to his hand first. He unfurls the scroll and reads the incantation, his tongue practically tripping over the words even as he attempts to pass the same clumsiness onto the xorn through Kurglunn.

Using Deliver Touch Spells to cast Touch of Gracelessness on the xorn. On a hit, the target must succeed at a DC15 Fort save or take the Dex penalty listed below for 5 rounds and may fall prone if it moves too much. On a successful save, it takes half the Dex penalty below.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Dex penalty: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Confirm Touch crit?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Dex penalty crit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Kurglunn swings at the Xorn but misses. Rocco has better luck and his magic affects the creature somehow...

Fortitude check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

... but not much.

The Xorn reacts, unleashing his fury...

Bite vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 → Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4) + 5 = 18

Claw 01 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Claw 02 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Claw 03 vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Critical confirmation check vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 → Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6) + 5 = 26

What's Oren's current AC?

Only Oren is hit but the damage is horrific to behold!

Round 01/02 - Bold may act

Lirotha
Oren -18 or -44hp
Kurglunn -20hp
Valrani

Xorn -2dex 5 rounds,

Elurius
Rocco
Talon

Oren's current AC is 23 with PfE, I'll bot Elurious and Talon.

Seeing the Xorn take a huge bite out of Oren, Elurious steps up and tries to help her!

Cure Mod Wounds(Oren): 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 5) + 4 = 16

Talon, waits in the rear of the group, hoping for clear shot on the creature with his pistol(holding his action).

"Make room! I can't hit what I can't see!"

Thanks Lirotha!

Elurius heals some of the Damage Oren incurred while Talon tries to gain a vantage point for sniping at the extraplanar threat.

It responds with fury, and keeps attacking relentlessly, repeating the exact same pattern as before...

Bite vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 ⇒ Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 2) + 5 = 16

Claw 01 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Claw 02 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Claw 03 vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

... and this time it's Valrani who feels the sting of the creature's claws!

Round 02/03 - Bold may act

Lirotha Round 03 actions
Oren -28hp Round 03 actions
Kurglunn -20hp Round 03 actions

Xorn -2dex 5 rounds,

"Let's see how well you take it.." sighs Valrani, somewhat distracted even during the battle. Somehow she felt.... something was missing. Like she hadn't eaten breakfast, but no that wasn't it.

Annoyed she strikes out at the Xorn with her full strength.

attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 13

But this strike is even wilder and further from hurting it than the first one had been.

Oren continues her pummeling style, trying to punch her way through its resistances to damage two times.

Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 = 30
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 2 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

If both attacks hit, Remember Pummeling Style allows you to total all the damage before subtracting for any DR.

Not having many other options Lirotha tries her wand again.

Use Magic Device (Wand of MM DC20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage:Magic/Force: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

"Don't let up! We can't flank it, but we can dog-pile on it!"

Without anything else useful to do, Rocco follows Lirotha into the colorfully tiled chamber and telekinetically picks up one of the pieces of gold she had thrown to the xorn. With one hand at his temple, and the other directed toward the coin, he hurls the gold piece at the xorn.

Moved and then cast a spell

Telekinetic Projectile, into melee: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 4 = 18 Damage (B): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Meanwhile, Kurglunn continues his seemingly pointless assault, though he does shift around the creature, sensing Rocco's desire to get out of the chamber as quickly as possible if the xorn is bound to it as Lirotha had suggested.

Slam 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Damage (B): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Slam 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage (B): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Feel free to bot Talon and Elurius again please

Talon moves to a clear point to shoot!
Mwk Pistol: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Elurious tries to curse the monster!
Hideous Laughter Will(neg)DC17

DC17 Will Save (Xorn): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Elurius' magic has no better luck than Lirotha's and Talon's shooting proves ineffectual. The same may be said for most of the Silver Ravens' attacks with only Oren able to cause some damage with one of her punches in addition's to Lirotha's activation of her magical wand.

Unperturbed, the Xorn keeps repeating the same attack pattern as before...

Bite vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 ⇒ Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 5) + 5 = 20

Claw 01 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw 02 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Claw 03 vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 ⇒ Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Once Again Valrani and Oren are hit by the creature.

I am at zero HP right now. If I can’t get a good chunk of healing, I’m going to have to withdraw as my move this round.

Seeing her companion in dire straights, Valrani casts a quick look around the room. "Move Loritha" she says, preparing to occupy the space when she does so.

technically free action to speak, and delay until Loritha's move. Assuming she does, Val will 5' step back out of combat and then cast CMW on Oren
CMW: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 5) + 5 = 18

I think you meant Elurious? She's moved.

Touching Oren with her Healer's Way ability she heals some minor damage on Oren!

Healer's Way(Oren): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Talon reloads and fires again!
Is this a touch attack at this range? I unfamiliar with firearm rules.

Mwk Pistol: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Lirotha tries to encourage the others.

"Rocco use the wand! Heal who you can!"

Lirotha fires the wand again...

Use Magic Device (Wand of MM DC20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage(Magic/Force): 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Well then, it's a touch attack at his current range. So if he hit...

Pistol Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Oren continues her pummeling style, trying to punch her way through its resistances to damage two times.

Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 = 20
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 2 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

If both attacks hit, remember Pummeling Style allows you to total all the damage before subtracting for any DR.

Once again, Oren's attacks fail to connect with the Xorn but Talon's shot does indeed hit and damage the creature...

"It's not a bad suggestion, I guess," Rocco ruefully admits that Lirotha's suggestion to use the wand is reasonable. He flexes his right forearm, and the wand drops from his wrist sheath into his waiting fingers. Reaching out with the wand, he heals Oren further, then calls out to Elurius, "We need to keep Val up too!"

CLW on Oren: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Kurglunn continues to shift toward the northern door--his way to escape this awful creature he thinks--but he continues his assault anyway.

Slam 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Damage (B): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Slam 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Damage (B): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Might be time for a good old fashioned retreat next round.

As you might have noticed, this thing has decent AC. You need to be more accurate if you want to bring it down

Rocco heals Oren some more while Kurglunn's attacks prove ineffective once again.

Being nothing but persistent the Xorn keeps attacking along the same pattern established before...

Bite vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 → Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 5) + 5 = 22

Claw 01 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw 02 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Claw 03 vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

... this time Oren manages to avoid the creature's bite but Val and Kurglunn are not so lucky...

Feeling bones start to crack under the horrible things assault, Valrani redoubles her efforts to send it back to the place it was summoned from.

"Go Home!" she shouts

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 25
damage(magic, blunt): 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 17

Oren continues her pummeling style, trying to punch her way through its resistances to damage two time she also has Kurgluun distracting it as well.

Flanking Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 + 2 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Flanking Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 2 + 2 = 19
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

If both attacks hit, Remember Pummeling Style allows you to total all the damage before subtracting for any DR.

It's immune to flanking. Focus on just hitting it and doing as much bludgeoning damage to it as possible. I think Acid will hurt it. Can anybody do Acid damage?

Let's hope the penalty to its dex is hurting its AC!

Praying to any god that would listen, Lirotha tries the wand again!

Use Magic Device (Wand of MM DC20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage:Magic/Force: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

Fizzle!

"Crap on a stick! Any suggestions?!! None of my magic will really hurt it and this wand is tricky to use!"

Desperate, Elurious pulls out a scroll and begins reading/singing furiously.

Trying to cast HASTE from a scroll using UMD, targeting Oren, Valrani, Kurglunn, Talon, and Rocco. Question, she had her banner out didn't she?

Use Magic Device(Emulate Ability Score INT 13)DC13: 1d20 + 13 - 15 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 15 = 18

Use Magic Device as Wizard 5th(DC25): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Crowing with delight, Elurious smiles furiously as the magic takes effect!

NOTE! Oren and Val? Elurious goes BEFORE the rest of you! If the GM allows, TAKE YOUR EXTRA ATTACK NOW! NOTE the +1 BONUS to hit and Dodge AC!

Talon, feeling the rush of spell from Elurious, and hearing the fear in Lirotha's voice behind her cursing, rushes the creature pulling out his mace on the way!

Move action to draw weapon, then 5 foot step and attack!

+1 heavy mace + haste: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Damage(Magic): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Can't win them all.

With supernatural speed, Valrani swings her massive staff around for a second blow.

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 26
damage(blunt, magic): 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 + 1 + 3 = 20

It slams into the creature with the force of a knights lance striking home on the charge.

Extra Hasted Attack 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 13 - 2 + 1 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Lirotha's magic wand fails her. Fortunately Elurius is able to corectly cast a scroll making her companions faster and more accurate with their strikes. This does not help Oren and Talon, who cannot bypass the xorn's armored shell, yet the magical boost works for Valrani who strikes not one but two powerful blows against the hardy opponent...

[dice=Use Magic Device as Wizard 5th(DC25)]1d20 + 13

Crowing with delight, Elurious smiles furiously as the magic takes effect!

Tahkn you for using that scroll! I hadn't realized the fight was going that badly. She porbably should have pulled that out sooner. Might also need to buy a few scrolls of mass healing spells if these kinds of fights are going to be common.

Thank you for using that scroll! I hadn't realized the fight was going that badly. She probably should have pulled that out sooner. Might also need to buy a few scrolls of mass healing spells if these kinds of fights are going to be common.

Agreed! I was desperate. It was either that or the Shield Other scroll on Oren!

Rocco hurries around the perimeter of the room and out again so he can get closer to Valrani and give her some healing and also give her a boost to her accuracy.

Move and cast Aid on Valrani
Val gets a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus the temporary hit points I'm rolling below.

Aid Temp HP: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Remind me, are the doors at the other end of the room open?

Kurglunn switch up his tactics. He obviously can't hit this thing well enough to actually hurt it, so maybe be can help his friends hit it instead. He then steps away from the xorn so he doesn't get bitten into oblivion.

Full attack action to aid both Val and Oren's next attacks. Extra hit from Haste will be an aid for Val's AC. Then taking a 5ft step away.

Aid Val's attack (vs AC10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Success! +2 to Val's next attack vs the xorn
Aid Oren's attack (vs AC10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Success! +2 to Oren's next attack vs the xorn
Aid Val's AC (vs AC10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Success! +2 to Val's AC vs the xorn's next attack

@Rocco: (1) Sorry for the mistake with the first attack. Kurglunn has 20 extra hp then. (2) No the doors you used to enter into the room are opened, those at the other end of it are closed. (3)Unfortunately aid another does not work that way. It's a standard action, so you need to choose one out of the three people you wanted to help and give that person the +2 bonus to attack.

Rocco magically strengthens Valrani while Kurglunn tries to distract the xorn who, despite his grievous wounds keeeps repeating his attacks over and over again...

Bite vs Oren: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 → Damage roll: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 1) + 5 = 19

Claw 01 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw 02 vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Claw 03 vs Kurglunn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Critical confirmation vs Valrani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 → Damage roll: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

This time the creature almost kills Valrani badly mangling Oren and wounding Kurglunn as well...
