DM Greg's Red Hand of Doom

Game Master Algar Lysandris

Galdamor, you can land directly on K7 after your dismount with wand and hand and use your standard to activate the wand since Rufa is out you can occupy the same square. (i'll rule that she felt on your side from her horse)

::Bleeds::

just in case Galdamor goes with the alternate action: CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Denlin you have to use another move action to climb the slope you land at the base of it when you dismounted (the slope take 20ft of movement to climb)

End of round 1

Denlin climb the slope
Grook goes in but misses the target
Silvanus casted a spell
Reill and Brian both hit their target
and Galdamor use his wand
Rufa comes out of coma.

Drelin's Horse, Brians Horse, Galdamor horse, Silvanus Horse, Rufa's horse Flee in panic of combat (none are trained warhorse correct? you'll be able de get them back once combat is done)

Begin Round 2

Mine actually is a warhorse.

ok then:
Rufa's warhorse just take a 5ft behind her mistress. he is rather unphased by the sound of combat. (updating map)

I assume my horse is not wartrained so off he goes :)
"Good Riddance!"
Still, I assume Silvanius will round him up in good time.
Seeing how my foe seems weakened I take another swing at him, no power attack.
to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 for damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
If I drop him I jump to M9. 4ft high, 10ft across, DC 16 jump check.
jump: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

Oh ya, round 2 :)

Accounting for terrain substitute Denlin's posted round 1 move to goblin and attack for his round 2 action. AC is 18 until his turn, 16 after due to rage.

Silvanius' is a trained Warhorse ;)

Delin Longarm

Round 2

Attack R4 standard action, power attacking for -2/+4.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (6, 6) + 14 = 26

Round 2

Assuming R4 goes down:

Grook'O grunts approvingly at the strength with which the human hits the other human caught in plants, and moves along to the next opponent Silvanius requested to be put down.

Move action: to I12 / Standard: Attack on R5

Grook'O puny human SMASHA!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Assuming Rufa is back up after being zapped with the wand of CLW. There are 2 of those strange dogs correct?

"I do not recognize those doglike creatures!" - Silvanius shouts - "Have any of you seen such monsters before?"

The druid then steps to the side and starts casting a spell, going through the words and gestures that attune him with the wild.

Free Action: Speak / Move action: to I7 / Standard Action: Starts Casting Summon Nature's Ally II (converted Kelpstrand)

Round 2

Reill speaks as he notches another arrow.

Dear friends, I have heard tale of these beasties... they are clearly some of the infamous Hell Hounds, and they do not belong on this plane. Alas, that is all I know...

He then continues his performance (inspire courage) by belting into another verse of a dark battle song. He the shoots at R2...

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Round 2

Reil shoots and arrow but misses
Brian Hits and drop the hobgoblin then hops to another location

R2 Tumble : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

R2 tumble out of the way while drawing his Longsword. He then drinks his potion CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

R1 Longbow : 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 181d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 vs brian

R4 Drop his longbow, take his weapons out and swings
R4 Longsword : 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 - 2 = 61d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 vs Denlin

R5 Longbow : 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 221d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 vs Silvanus

R6 Longbow : 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 151d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 vs Denlin

HH2 move and breath fire on both Denlin and the Ape
HH2 Breath Weapon : 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13 Reflex DC 21 r: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Reflex save for Both Denlin and ape

HH1 Double mouves

B is a hobgoblin equipped with 2 short swords

----
The ape hits the Hobgoblin but does not drop him, Silvanus is starting a full round incantation (but has to make a concentration check as he is hit by an arrow)

Round2

Stay Behind Me said Galdamor to the hurt Rufa.

Then he make use his wand again on Rufa and put it in his belt.

Try not to be hurt again my dear. said with a smile the hulking priest.

Standard action : use his wand on Rufa CureLightWounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Move action : store my wand in my belt

Just for the sake of confirmation before I proceed: shouldn't Grook'O be in I12 on the map?

you assumed R4 would go down. It did not. Therefore i assumed that the ape would try to club the enemy in front of it. (hence the reason why i asked in the ooc if those after the enemy could wait until after i posted to do their posting

you are more then welcome to repost you ape's action but remember it is not an intelligent animal you have to Order him around. Right now his current order are to take out the enemy (your round one order was :"to get them" Therefore he does and is still attacking R4)

Galdamor you might want to 5ft step as right now you are standing over Rufa lying on the ground.

yes, I go to L:7 with my 5ft. step

You are quite correct DM Greg, Grook'O would only move ahead if R4 went down - since it did not it makes sense that he is at the current location. Thanks for the clarification ;)

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

The dice roller loves me this fight! Since I saved I take half damage?

yup rounded in the favor of the defendor. on a side note Silvanus you don't need to make a concentration roll since you are starting your full round summoning on your action who is after the hobgoblins

Round 2

Ok, great :D Rolling for Grook Reflex only then.

Grook'O nimble escapin': 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

The ape tries to avoid the attack but gets hit hard by the fire.

Grook current status -> HP:16/29 || AC: 17
Silvanius current status -> HP:23/31 || AC: 18

Round 2

Standing from prone, she smiles as Galdamor, "Quite the hero. Now let's hope the hobgoblins agree." Staying behind Galdamor, she reaches into the aether of magic, molding it into elemental fire, sending it crashing down upon one of the hobgoblins.

Move to stand, standard to use Fiery Burst on H1. DC 16 Reflex for half.

Fiery Burst: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Rufa, remember you are regenerating 1HP per round as per Lesser Vigor.

End of Round 2

Galdamor Use wand of CLW on rufa
The ape hits and wound his opponent
Silvanus starts a full round casting
Denlin attacks same target and finish him
Rufa stands up and shoots fire from her hand at the Hound

Hound 1 Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 he emerges from it rather unharmed.

Round 3 Start (Reil+Brian )

Doh, meant R1 per the hobgoblin statement.

very sorry then. i am still applying it to Hound 1 :)

Round 3

Damn it all! I can't seem to shoot a thing today... bah

Reill will take a 5ft step to L6 and drop his bow to the ground in frustration. Feeling somewhat safer hiding between his two companions, he ceases his inspiring song. (so the performance ends, but it should continue to have effect for 5 rounds, if I am not mistaken?

His eyes begin to glow as he motions his hands and begins chanting an archaic rhythm of words and syllables...

Cast grease onto J11. The 10ft square of J11, J12, K11, and K12 should be greased up. And HH1 needs to make a DC 14 Reflex save or fall prone.

Well I had a coordinants fail, I ment to jump to N9 :p Oh well!
I also take 5 pts of damage. I also can't jump through the trees, just over the hill, self reminder.

"I got one Denlin! Horahh!" he yells out in pain as he takes an arrow to the knee. He then hops up the hill to N8 (move action) and takes a mighty swing at the hobgoblin. Power attack -4,+12.
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for damage: 1d12 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

I imagine that is one dead hobgoblin :)
Round 3

Reil moves to another position and cast a spell (it was a move action since needed to cover more than 5ft in order to reach new destination. (DM advice since you moved you can draw out your rapier as part of your move action)

HH1 Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Vs Grease

Brian swings and kill another Hobgoblin

------

R1 Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Vs brian
Crit Conf: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 162d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10 Vs brian

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

HH1 Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 1 + (5) = 13 Vs Silvanus

HH2 Fire Breath: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9 DC 13 Reflex Vs Denlin + Ape

A new HellHound appears out of nowhere.

HH3 Fire Breath: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 DC 13 Reflex Vs Silvanus, Rufa, Galdamor

R5 Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 61d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Vs Rufa

R6 Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 111d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Vs Rufa

B Double moves into melee combat

----------
Silvanus needs to make a concentration check (DC = 10+ Spell level + Damage taken) vs all the damage he has taken this round or lose his spell

-------
the others can post their actions

Round 3

Listen DD20: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5Reflexes DD13: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Galdamor was surprised by the arrival of a new Hell hound out of nowhere !
Hopefully, its breath was not as hot as hell and Galdamor suffered only small burns.

He drew in his internal resources to call at the power of the law to help him in this fight.

By the Law, Hextor, Help me to fight ! +3 to attack

Then, he took his flail and try to take down the hound. HH3

Heavy Flail with Power Attack (-2/+4): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 211d10 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 19

The massive weapon took his share of the newly arrived creature.

swift action : Law Devotion +3 profane bonus to hit, or to AC during 10 rounds
move action : take my Heavy Flail
standard action : hit the dog
current bonus :
(bard song) +1 moral bonus to hit, damages and save against fear and charm
(Law devotion) +3 profane bonus to hit

Round 3

Ok, so... Rolling for Silvanius in order:

Grook'O Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Silvanius Listen Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Silvanius Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Silvanius Concentration check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Both Silvanius and his Ape companion are hit very hard during the enemy onslaught, catching bite and fiery breath almost with its full force.

"Assist me Grook!" - at Silvanius's urging, the Ape screams wildly and launches a furious attack at the Hellhound bearing down on his companion.

Grook Bite on HH1: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4
Grook Claw on HH1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Grook Claw on HH1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

If HH1 is down, Grook'O attacks HH3

Amazingly, through the pain, Silvanius manages to keep his concentration and finalize his conjuration.

Summoning an Hippogriff across J10-K10 as it is large, and I believe it occupies 10' long by 5' across? (Modified stats from Augment Summoning: STR+4 -> +2 to hit/damage || CON+4 -> Total HP: 31) - it attacks HH3 immediately if it is still up, else it attacks HH1

Hippogriff Claw attack on HH3: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
Hippogriff Claw attack on HH3: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Hippogriff Bite attack on HH3: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
Hippogriff Bite attack on HH3 crit?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Silvanius takes a step back (5' to I6, no AoO I believe?) and conjures forth another natural spell, invoking cold and turning his target's sweat to ice, creating blisters as the ice forms on and inside the skin. (Targetting priority: HH1 -> HH3 -> HH2 depending on which are up)

Spell: Creeping Cold -> 1d6 ⇒ 2damage, DC16 Fort for half

Grook current status -> HP:7/29 || AC: 17
Silvanius current status -> HP:8/31 || AC: 18
Hippogriff current status -> HP:31/31 || AC: 15

Wow... Druid rounds are just uncanny, and with the Inspire Courage... :D It has been a long time since I played 3.5 and a Druid - if anything is wrong do let me know.

Round 3

Seeing herself still being assaulted by archers, Rufa summons a magical protection to help ward off blows.

Cast Mage Armor defensively

Concentraton: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

EDIT: Forgot reflex Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Rufa, your effects should include Lesser Vigor, and you will regenerate one hp per round. I think you should have 9 hp at the moment?

Thanks for the reminder!

Denlin feels the burn of the Hell Hound's blast and the sting of the second one. "Arrg, down you stupid dog!" He cries and swings mightily at the Hellhound below him.

Attacking Hell Hound 2 at I 11 Greatsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18, Damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 4) + 19 = 29

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Denlin has now taken 9 damage from the two hell hound fire attacks. HP 37/46, AC is 16 currently due to rage. If that takes it out Denlin will move south 1 square to H11.

End of round 3

Galdamor Swings his heavy weapon at the Hellhound (HH1 since its in front of you and you can't reach HH3) and connect. The beast is wounded

The ape's bite the same Hell Hound, he second claw misses and the 3rd claw kills of the beast

Silvanus trough sheer force of will manages to finish his incantation and conjure some cold to strike one of the target

The newly summoned Hippogriff (large creature therefore it takes 4 squares. Since there is a grease area just right under it (having to make a reflex save DC 14 or flying. If flaying i won't be able to say in hover position during next round i t have to land (move action) or fly somewhere else)

Hippogriff Reflex vs Grease: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Failed (therefore it makes a move action to stand up incurring an Aoo) and then it makes it claw attack on HH3 and misses

HH2 Aoo Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (1) = 8

HH3 Aoo Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (3) = 12

HH3 Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Vs Creeping cold

Rufa cast her mage armor

Denlin powerful swing cleave through the Hound and instantly kills it.

----------------
Begin Round 4

My apologies, but I've been having a really hard time accessing the Paizo forums.... The pages simply do not load or take forever and then do not load completely.

I'd rather have the hippogrif flying and moving away to another target in the next round but... couldn't react because the boards totally bogged down for me.

Silvanus i will allow it this time :)(its our first combat after all) but remember its your job to things about these things (after all i do a map with all the spells effect and stuff)

=> HH3 is killed by the Hippogriff. When it dies it goes poof (like a summon monster) leaving no body unlike the other two hounds

as a FHI hippogriff can not do a 5ft step in flight then don't have good manoeuvrability for that.

Thanks DM Greg, I really was under the impression he would only take 5' by 10' and not 10' by 10' - lesson learned and bookkeeping updated ;)

Sits patiently and waits for Reil and Brian's actions - another lesson learned :D

So Brian takes 15! damage from the crit and has to make a DC 20 listen check.
listen: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Apparently taking an arrow to the gut does nothing to impeed Brians mighty hearing!

ROUND 3

" I got another one! Over there! Someone is casting over th..." catching his breath cold and looking down to see an arrow sticking out of his gut. Momentairly stunned, Brian can feel his anger rising up and threatining to boil over. He lets it. Howling in anger he assults his attacker.
So now I am raging:) I move to N6 as a move action then attack R1 as a standard. Power attack (-4,+8)
to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
damage: 1d12 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Fail :(

Reill will definitely pull out his rapier as part of his move from round 3, per dm advice :)

Round 4

Hehehe let's see how they like a little bit of the ol' slip and slide...

He will take a 5ft step towards R1 and then stab at his with his rapier...

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Reill will definitely pull out his rapier as part of his move from round 3, per dm advice :)

Round 4

Hehehe let's see how they like a little bit of the ol' slip and slide...

He will take a 5ft step towards R1 and then stab at his with his rapier...

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14

damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Reil the slope is X4 movement so you can't take a 5ft step. it takes your full move to get into that square. But it doesn't change anything) Remember no the left of the battle Map i have labeled everything...

Ah my mistake. I should remember to check the map key... I just saw the one square and was like... oh hey!

Round 4

Denlin moves up toward the archer and misses, so does Reil

R5 Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 51d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 vs denlin

R6 Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 81d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 vs denlin

The hobgoblin swing his 2 short swords (def)

B Short sword 1: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 4 = 191d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 vs Rufa
B Short sword 2: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 4 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 vs rufa

R1 drops his bow takes his weapon out and attacks

R1 Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 vs Brian

DC 18 Listen check (to hear some more chanting) (spellcraft DC 21)

----
Rest of you can go.

Round 4

Listen DD18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

By Hextor ! What the heck !

Galdamor was surprised by the fact that the two sworded hobgoblin could attack Rufa.

He was not happy when he see the young wizardess taking two hits and droping inconscious. He try to protect her by going on top of her.

Then he hit the hobgoblin who take down the woman. The best defence being attacking.

Heavy Flail with Power Attack (-2/+4): 1d20 + 8 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 171d10 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 21

We will see I you are better than a follower of Hextor !

no action : take a 5ft. on Rufa (K:7)
standard action : hit B
current bonus :
(bard song) +1 moral bonus to hit, damages and save against fear and charm
(Law devotion) +3 profane bonus to hit

Round 4
Denlin moves one square south again, cursing the rugged terrain, then takes a swing at the hobgoblin who is still sending arrows his way.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 4) + 15 = 21

Power attack for -2/+4, current AC is 16, HP is 37/46

Round 4

Silvanius Listen: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Silvanius Spot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"There is indeed someone hidden and casting spells!" - Silvanius reinforces Brian's warning, as he tries to find their hidden opponent.

I have a couple of doubts regarding the map: I see a Zarr, who is this person, as I don't see any actions for it - can we see him/her? Also, what/who is H2, can we see him/her? Will post regardless, with some contingencies:

IF this Zarr is the caster and visible, the hipoggriff takes a simple 5' adjustment to the north (leaving the greased area and landing), since now he fits, and attacks him:

Hippogriff Claw Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Hippogriff Claw Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 = 18Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Hippogriff Claw Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

IF the above conditions are not met, the hippogriff will still make his 5' adjustment and attack Hobgoblin B

----------------------------------------------------------------

Silvanius takes a step forward, casts a spell to revigorate Grook'O (Bear's Endurance) and urges him - "My friend, find who is speaking from hiding and get him!" - trying to point him in the correct direction (Using the spot roll from above if possible) - "There!"

I have realized that this guy/girl may be invisible and summoning stuff on us... DM Greg, please keep in mind Grook'O has scent

Reflex if Grook'O needs to cross the Grease: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Attack if Grook'O finds the caster: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

If per earlier actions, the Hippogriff spotted the caster and took it down, Silvanius will direct Grook'O to target hobgoblin B instead

Grook current status -> HP:15/29 || AC: 17
Silvanius current status -> HP:8/31 || AC: 18
Hippogriff current status -> HP:31/31 || AC: 15

Unconscious
