DM Greg's Red Hand of Doom

Game Master Algar Lysandris

Sorry I completely mind blanked your post with the double doors.

"Dis way, Borrum says over his shoulder to the others as he moves to the double doors and readies to open them.

My plan with Borrum is to move to the H27 this round, then next round to use a standard action for Total Defense and a move action to open the doors. If I was an enemy, I would be ready to attack anyone opening the door.

Spot 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Amadar looks fro traces of tracks left by anything passing through.

ok burrom. Amadar: you clearly see puddles of water leading to the double doors

Galdamor draws his heavy flail and follows Borrum toward the double doors.

Well I guess we are ready ...

Borrum throws open the double doors ready for the expectant attack to come his way.

AC26/Touch AC15; additional +4 dodge vs giants

Before the door is opened, Amadar takes a moment to heal his wounds with his wand.

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Borrum open the door to find waiting behind waiting for him one ogre and one Ettin. On the far right of the big room stainding in the corner entrance to an other room is standing a hobgoblin wraring nothing but surgeon's outfit.

The two large creature are completly blocking the passage into the next room

Rest of party may go as the two creatures were just in delay

What was said in the italicized portion of the above quote? That is the part I am referring to in my question earlier.

Damage - 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) = 7

Fortitude Save DC 16 not to be Knocked Prone.

it is goblin for. "Hey get over here and kill them of !"

Very badly hurt by the Etting and the Ogre, Gadlamor was'nt expected such a retaliation.

Now it was a fight for survival.

May Hextor be my shield ! he calls swift action : Law devotion +3 AC

Then strike on the defensive the Ettin hoping to kill it before it kills him.

Heavyflail (power attack 2): 1d20 + 10 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 - 2 = 14
damages: 1d10 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 = 14

Borrum, if you go now we will all die, stay here, in Hextor's name !

The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable. Asking the creature to do some obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the spell.
I don't think asking a follower of Hextor to stop fighting as his comrade is reduce to pulp is reasonable but your call GM :)

the sugestion is appealing to his greed and no one says you have to stay and get beaten to a pulp. It is not a harmful activity to Him (as per the spell) it is offering him the chance to safly collect gems and treasure away from a harmful fight.

Miha will fire again some Magic Missle: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 3) + 4 = 14 at the ettin

Round 2
A blast of force hits the Ettin Fort DC 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 followed my the magic missle but Galdamor's attack swings widly of its mark

The Flaming's sphere makes it way to the hobgoblin caster Ref DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 and burns him

The ettin Realy angered and wanting to strike at the spellcasters focus on the human in front of him

PA Morningstar 1: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 5 = 92d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 2) + 11 = 14 vs Galdamor
PA Morningstar 1: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 5 = 122d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6) + 11 = 23 vs Galdamor

While the other morningstar swings more accuratly but with less power

PA Morningstar 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 172d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8 vs Galdamor
PA Morningstar 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 212d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8 vs Galdamor

The Ogre does the same

Great Club: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 212d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 7) + 7 = 21

The caster anoied at being burned 5ft step away from the ball of fire

--------
Round 3

All Heroes Go !

As a player, I am hoping for a couple of things, 1) Borrum's action has provoked an AoO from an Ogre and the Ettin, and I have not heard an commands to 'Don't attack the dwarf". 2) Borrum has stated the effects of what has happened so maybe others can do something about it. Suggestion is a a pain in the ass spell, but I have 1hr/level to attempt to complete the task. But...

"But someone could steal da treasure from meez. Dat includes yous an' da utters or even dees giantkin or hobgob."

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Never ! Hextor is my only master, pitiful dog !

Responds Galdamor's to the hobgoblin suggestion.

He continues to strike the Ettin with more care than power.

Heavyflail: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 4 = 21
Damages: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Round 3

Amadar moves the sphere farther into the room to strike

The flaming sphere stays stationary with the Hobgoblin.

Reflex save DC 15 to negate.

Flaming Sphere Damage 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1) = 10

Amadar moves forward to assist Galdamor - Cast Bull's Strength on Galdamor +4 Constitution.

Erlmander

The Wizard sees that he must use his final most powerful arcana if the group is to survive the encounter.

A swarm of missiles released from his hands striking all of their foes.

Chain Missile:

Ettin 6d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4) + 6 = 21
Ogre 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 1, 2) + 5 = 19
Hobgoblin 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 3) + 4 = 12

Borrum stows his waraxe and jumps into the water to find the treasure.

Round 3

Galdamor's Heavy flail connects with the Ettin and it looks really hurt

Eridmander's Chain missile does:

Ettin Chain missile primary target: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 3 = 11 and kills it

Ogre Chain missile secondary target: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Hobgoblin Chain missile secondary target: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

As Borrum goes for a swim in full armor

The last remaining ogre moves into position where the ettin was

The Hobgolob caster goes and cast a Hold Person ( Will DC17) at Galdamor

Round 4
All Heroes Go !

Will DC17: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 4 = 24

Try what you want, but Hextor protect me ! Says Galdamor when the hobgoblin tries again a spell against him.

He continues to attack the last Ogre, hoping to kill him to be able to reach the spellcaster next.

Heavyflail (defensively): 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 4 = 11
Damages: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

There are still 2 ogre left to kill

One is already dead in my mind :P

i have no doubt about that...

Sorry I am not there to help in this fight.

As an FYI now that Borrum has gone treasure hunting, People could have sworn not to steal the treasure and helped to kill these ogres to prevent them from stealing the treasure. With Galdamor being lawful and a cleric of my god, Borrum would have probably stayed. The spell lasts long enough that I would still have plenty of time to complete the task.

People ? what people ? there hasn't been any human presence in this part since the city was "sunk" 150 years ago. There are only Lizardfolk and "monsters living of the area

But the arrow misses far wide of its intended mark.

Round 4

Gadamore 's heavy flail swing wildly off its mark

Wiha will cast Magic Missle: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 1) + 4 = 9 at the ogre

The flaming's sphere Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 but the caster easily avoid it as he dodge the acide arrow

Crit Conf Ogre: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 112d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 2) + 7 = 16 vs Galdamor

Round 6
All Heroes go !!

@GM can you stop make roll higher than 17 to hit Galdamor ?

The ogre kills Galdamor. He is at -10

by my count you received a bear's endurence a few rd earlier did you factor it in you hp calculation ?

No, I wasn't sure it was bull's strength or bear's endurance.
So I need to adds 10 HP to Galdamor who is at 0 HP
