DM Harpwizard’s Heroes of Elsir Vale (Inactive)

Game Master GM Harpwizard

The remainder of the company enters the guest room at Kaal Manor. This luxurious room has finely woven curtains on the widows to the north. There is a clean large four poster bed with a beuatifully embroidered cover on it. Against the eastern wall is a bookcase with an assortment of books. There is a chest against the western wall.

Guest Room

Mantooth and Thordak, I am still looking for the answer to what cell do you put Verasa Kaal in.

Through an open curtain you see a large silhouette appear on the horizon, on the surface of a distant river.

Bofus checks the chest for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

Thordak uses his dwaven eyes to assess the cells and pick the sturdiest, most secure one for Lady Kaal.

Knowledge, Engineering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Ah, just throw 'er in any ol' cell, they all look pretty good to me!

Unless he discovers something with his tunnel sense, DMHW?

Through an open curtain you see a large silhouette appear on the horizon, on the surface of a distant river.

Bofus stops to peer out at the silhouette, brow furrowed. Huh. That's not where the Red Hand army is coming from, I wonder what that is? Not *more* trouble, I hope...

Bofus holds out one piece of clothing. I guess our monk was prepped for being well-dressed. I think we're done here...

"Then I will try and arrange the meeting. Listen, at midnight tonight, exit through the northern gates and proceed over the bridge over the Elsir. If she is willing, a traveler will meet you there and take you further onward. Please come alone, or you will not be met. Is this understood? Then farewell until we meet again, Rebel Red!"

This meeting is coming up next. Is there anything else you wish to do before this encounter? Please discuss plans as you need to and I will advance you to midnight when you give me the word.

You return to Brindol Keep where you all meet up with each other in the great hall.

We need to make sure the Kaal is well-guarded. I'm guessing the monk is going to try to break her out. She's very skilled, so it's going to require some serious guards to keep her out.

"I admit that monk was very fast and clever, but I do not see how she could possibly break into Brindol Prison. They only way I could imagine it is if she still has loyal guards to her in the prison that assist her in some way. What do you suggest we do, Bofus? As Magistrate, I will do anything in my power."

Captain Ulverth limps over as he hears Mantooth ask his question to Bofus.

"If you want my opinion, Magistrate, which you don't always need to listen to anyway, you will take up your post at Brindol Prison and make the office there your own. You may be able to start looking at those cases and if any monk or some such being comes to try and rescue her, then you will be there ready to catch them. If the horde arrives, we will be sure to let you know."

Bofus grins at the big paladin. Why, thanks for the flattering request of my advice, my old friend! I must agree with the good Captain here--I think you should go familiarize yourself with the prison, impose your will through you simple presence, that sort of thing. tirion's neat Message spell can keep us all communicating even when we're spread out, so if you need any support--apart from the most able Guard, of course--someone can be there shortly.

Bofus takes another glance out the window. Hmmm...if we were closer to the river, I'd like to give that a checking-out. it's a ship, got a bit of a dragon motif going, so it could be the bad guys--but it's coming from the wrong direction. Captain, can we make sure that some of the guard keeps an eye on that ship there?

"Good people have their dragons too, perhaps some of the Golds are committing to the fight?"

Hah! Now wouldn't THAT be a sight?!?!

"In fairness, I intend to pick a fight with a Red Dragon tonight, to slight it into taking offence and inflaming its ego"

Uhhh...you might want some backup on a fight like that, no? Shall we do any planning for that little endeavor?

Suddenly, Sergeant Teyani Sura races through the doorway and tries to regain he breath. She then loudly declares, "Giants are attacking the docks! They are crossing the Elsir on boat! We need reinforcements at once! Please come! Captain, shall I muster the Lions?!"

"Giants are attacking the docks! They are crossing the Elsir on boat! We need reinforcements at once! Please come! Captain, shall I muster the Lions?!"

"Let us be off! Race to the docks, Sergeant!" He replies as he gets to his feet. "I will deploy the Brindol Lions! My friends, there is no time to spare! Don't wait for me! Get yourselves to the docks as fast as you can! We must hold off the horde!"

"Come with me, my friends! I will take you there at once!"

The sergeant races out the door.

If you do not follow, please let me know. But if you are not afraid of hobgoblins and you follow the good sergeant, then read the following.

Several moments later, you follow Teyani Sura back to the northern side of Brindol to the dock district where a large ship remains moored against the pier and floods of goblins and giants are sailing across the river, landing on the northern shore. You notice the name Drake's Revenge written across the stern of the tall ship.

Battlemat

Thordak rubs his hands together greedily at the news of giants.
Ah! Our first customers! Let's go give 'em a warm welcome! he says, already jogging on his short but sturdy legs toward the docks.

As soon as he sights a hobgoblin or a giant, he starts unloading his crossbow at the enemies with furious speed and deadly accuracy.

ROUND 1

Waaaaaiit a minute...where are all the giant boats that the giants would need to cross the river with?? And why don't they just swim, or walk across the bottom?!?!

Round 1
A confident and excited looking man dashes to the railing of the ship waving the dragonskull banner. He mans a long musket mounted to the railing. He shouts "Finally! It's been so long since we've had a challenge Shar'ka!"

He aims the Double Hackbut at the giant to the furthest north.

"Hope you can swim you monster!" and with that a shot rips through the air (CRAAAAACK!) and a puff of acrid smoke wafts into the air.

Double Hackbut shot vs. TOUCH: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Double Hackbut shot Damage: 2d12 ⇒ (11, 11) = 22

Stepping out from beside her guard station by the central mast of the Drake's Revenge. "Giants," she mutters. In one fluid motion she reaches to the quiver on her back stuffed with different-looking arrows, nocks one with thick black fletchings, and releases, aiming for the closest giant to the open sea.

Adaptive Seeking Composite Longbow shot with giant bane arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (1, 1) = 14

Without skipping a beat she draws another arrow (this one looking more like a normal arrow) and lets loose.

Adaptive Seeking Composite Longbow with regular arrow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Already nocking another arrow, she glances down to her side. "Barnacle, guard the ship."

The snapping turtle, whose head comes up to Shar'ka's waist, makes an acknowledging bite at the air. He slips off the edge of the ship (right in front of Shar'ka) and paddles his big webbed feet. He readies his jaws to bite if anything comes within his 10ft. reach.

ROUND 1

Waaaaaiit a minute...where are all the giant boats that the giants would need to cross the river with?? And why don't they just swim, or walk across the bottom?!?!

My apologies. I misread DMHW's description post, and read only the one tall ship, not the ships full of goblins/giants.

ROUND 1, REVISITED

Thinking fast, Bofus goes to his gnome friend. Tirion!! CAn you make me fly?? I think my best use is to stop as many of those ships from moving, or steering, as I can! I'll mess up their rudders and stuff...

DELAY until Tirion's action

Tirion calls to Bofus: Hope you know what you are doing.

Tirion points at Bofus and a moment later the small halfling finds himself able to fly across the battlefield.

Round 1

• Shar’ka Fire Eye fires an arrow at the Giant (AB-2) but the arrow bounces off of its hide armor.
• Simon Drake fires off his double hackbut at the Giant (AB-2). The shot hits its target and the giant roars in anger from the damaging hit.
• Thordak begins firing his crossbow repeatedly at various hoboblins. The first two bolts take down two separate hobgoblins, but his third bolt flies past another.
• Tirion casts fly on Bofus.

Pending my turn in init order

ROUND 1, AGAIN

I thought the boats were farther out, didn't look at the map to realize they were docked already. D'oh. I guess I'll have to make do...

Bofus winks at Tirion. Have I *ever* let you down?? and takes off, using shadows for cover, to get to the roof of the northern building (AI 1) On the way, he draws his bow and an acid arrow, and tries to get a bead on the giant getting fired upon by the strange new captain.

Stealth: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (8) + 26 = 34

Double move, using Stealth.

SECOND ROUND

Barnacle (who should be in the water right near the ship from last turn, AB5/6 & AC5/6) double moves to swim 40 feet, making a beeline to the giant that his companion shot point sticks at (ending in AB0/1 & AC0/1). He viciously snaps his jaws at the creature, planning to reach out and attack when he next gets the chance.

Shar'ka snarls as her first arrow misses. She takes a step closer to the edge of the boat (AC7) and raises her bow. She releases another arrow at the same giant as before, the one sitting in the back of the boat.

First attack, Longbow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 161d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Wordlessly (unlike her cohort Captain Simon) she nocks another arrow and lets it fly at the same giant.

Second attack, Longbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Her sharp eyes spy Barnacle across the water as he menaces the same giant she has been shooting. She knows that now he is in the water he can do some damage. She sees Captain Simon ready to shoot another blast from their shipside double hackbut and smiles as she mutters, "That giant is done for."

Round 1

The hobgoblins race in and immediately begin attacking the closest opponents they can cleave. For the moment, it appears only the Brindol Lions are taking a beating from this attack.

AO-6
Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Meanwhile, other hobgoblins race in as the battle ensues.

Battlemat

Round 1

Two hill giants get off of their boat, and with their great clubs drawn, they charge forth looking for humans to bash.

Meanwhile, two more pulls closer on a boat further to the west.

Battlemat

I believe Kris and I got a little excited and posted ROUND 2 too soon...

Round 1

• Shar’ka Fire Eye fires an arrow at the Giant (AB-2) but the arrow bounces off of its hide armor. Then she takes a second shot, and it pierces into the hide armor of the giant.
• Simon Drake fires off his double hackbut at the Giant (AB-2). The shot hits its target and the giant roars in anger from the damaging hit.
• Thordak begins firing his crossbow repeatedly at various hoboblins. The first two bolts take down two separate hobgoblins, but his third bolt flies past another.
• Tirion casts fly on Bofus.
• Bofus flies up and land on the roof of one of the dockside buildings (AI1). He draws his bow and prepares to fire upon the giant.
• The hobgoblins run rampant around the docks attacking wildly at anything that moves. One of the nearby Brindol Lion gets hurt.
• Rebel Red (unresolved)
• Hill Giants - Two hill giants get off of their boat, and with their great clubs drawn, they charge forth looking for humans to bash.Meanwhile, two more pulls closer on a boat further to the west.

R1

Red saunters forwards, relaxed as the day, and draws his sword in anticipation.

Signalling Poppy, they begin a pleasant and harmonic song, filling their comrades with hope and bravery as they advance.

Move Action - Inspire Courage
- Inspire Courage (Su): +2 morale bonus on saves vs. charm and fear and +2 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls to allies who can hear. Mind-affecting. (PFCR 37).

Standard Action - Move to AN 5

R1

Taking Red's cue to begin, Poppy flies above him to about the height of 20' getting good observation of the battlefield.

Taking aim with her crossbow, she lets loose a bolt at the nearby Ogre.

Attack 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 2 = 27
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Cheering as the bolt flies home.

Round 2

After seeing the injured Giant he'd been shooting at charge onto the short and duck behind a building, he'll instead train the last shot in his gun at the giant now being attacked by Barnacle (ad4) and take focused aim (using 1 grit).

Double Hackbut vs. Touch: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 4 = 12

Focused Aim Double Hackbut: 2d12 + 5 ⇒ (9, 6) + 5 = 20

"Alright, big gun is empty, no time to reload, I'm going to the dock, then down to the beach Shark'la, I'll keep an eye on the ship if you need it!"

He then moves onto the railing of the ship and deftly leaps through the curtain of gunsmoke. Landing at AB4.

Acrobatics DC 10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"You've never met someone like me you big, evil, brainless wrecking ball."

As a swift action, Captain Drake will activate his challenge ability on the giant, and in a very practiced motion, drop into a wide stance, hand hovering below the hilt of his downward facing scabbard.

"Barnacle, you can do this. You can help me. Shark'la's behind us and she's got our back. Let's take this thing down so we can help everyone else."

ROUND 2, QUESTIONS!!

1) I imagine Bofus still has clear line of sight to the giant between the two buildings--that the giant is tall enough for that?
2) Are there other boats with more giants cxrossing the river that aren't on the battlemat?

Bofus, 1) Yes, the giant is tall enough that you can still see it. 2) Yes, there are other boats crossing. Some have not reached the shore yet and some are a good distance away. It is evening, so vision is not perfect for you. The battlemat is the most immediate threat.

Hearing the cries of the Lions and his companions fighting, Tirion moves up a little and then casts calls upon his draconic heritage. A moment later a thin black tendril fires from his finger to a point in the middle of the enemies. It strikes the ground and a second later dark black tentacles begin to appear from the ground reaching up and grasping and strangling all they can reach.

Cast Black Tentacles centered at AL-5/AM-4. (This should get all 4 hobgoblins and the giant, but just miss the Lions.)

Grapple: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 <-- to all who are grappled

CMD23 to break the grapple.

That should slow you slovenly useless swine. Tirion shouts as several of the enemies are grabbed by the tentacles.

SECOND ROUND (revised)

Barnacle viciously snaps his jaws at the creature who comes within his reach, who is getting too close to his cohort. Following her commands to guard, the snapping turtle bites the hill giant in front of him (as his readied action from ROUND 1 goes off).

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 262d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

Barnacle sinks his jaws deeper into the flesh of his prey and attempts to grab him as a free attack.

Grab: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

He holds fast to the giant's massive treetrunk-like leg and begins to chomp his jaws again.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 272d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12

Shar'ka snarls as her first arrow misses. She takes a step closer to the edge of the boat (AC7) and raises her bow again. She nods sharply as Barnacle bites, grabs, and bites the hill giant coming towards the ship and fires at that giant that the snapping turtle is grappling.

First attack, Adaptive Seeking Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Wordlessly (unlike her cohort Captain Simon) she nocks another arrow and lets it fly at the same giant.

Second attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Good job, Barnacle," she shouts. She sees Captain Simon ready to shoot another blast from their shipside double hackbut and smiles as she mutters to him, "That giant is done for."

Thordak repeatedly loads and reloads with swift efficiency, firing off several bolts at the Giant (AM-1) from his Crossbow, Shocker.

"Oi see ye weren't expectin te meet shocker!"

Round 2

Shocker:1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Shocker:1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Shocker:1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

ROUND 2

Bofus pops up from his hiding place to shoot the giant at AM 1 with acid arrows, and completely by surprise!

Hey ugly--CATCH!!

Acid arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 <--THREAT
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (3) + (5, 1, 3, 4) = 20

Acid arrow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (3) + (5, 6, 3, 1) = 22

Acid arrow, crit confirm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + 4 = 15

I'm going to try to stop those other boats. If I can't I'll be right back!!

Round 2

The bladebearer hobgoblins hack at the black tentacles to free themselves.

AO-6
CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Freed!

AO-5
CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Freed!

AP-4

AM5 Charges Red and brings its longsword down upon the bard!
Longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22 HIT!
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The remaining hobgoblins move in to attack any of the wretched humans!

Round 1

• Rebel Red moves to AN5 and inspires courage upon his companions.
• Poppy fires her crossbow at the giant, but it appears to have little effect against its thick hide armor.

Round 2

• Barnacle snaps at the Giant as it comes close, slamming its jaws down on the massive creature and then clings on as it bites even harder.
• Shar’ka Fire Eye fires off two arrows in quick succession, one pierces the giant's arm and the other simply bounces off.
• Simon Drake takes aim at the approaching giant and fires his last shot from the hackbut to deliver a deep gash into the giant's chest. Although badly damaged, the beast fights on. Captain Drake then moves onto the railing of the ship and deftly leaps through the curtain of gunsmoke to land at AB4. He then challenges the giant.
• Thordak swiftly loads his crossbow and repeatedly fires at the other giant (AM-1). However, only one of his three bolts actually hits the creature.
• Tirion casts Black Tentacles centered at AL-5/AM-4. Black tentacles spring out of the ground and grapple the hobgoblins and the giant.
• Bofus sneaks out from the rooftop and fires two acid arrows at the giant to deliver two deadly blows to the giant. The great creature howls in pain.
• Hobgoblins hack at the black tentacles to free themselves. One who escapes notice manages to charge in and attack Tirion, drawing blood from the dark gnome.

Bofus, please not that the hobgoblin bladebearer that appears adjacent to you is actually about 10 feet below you on the ground. He does not notice you at the moment.

Two more Hill Giants land on the shore and begin advancing upon the Brindol Lions.

Battlemat

Round 3

Tirion whispers to the rest of the group:

Bofus, get back here so that I can speed you up. We need everything we can get. Thordak, hold your fire until I cast and then take out this annoyance near me.

Tirion then moves back 5' and casts Haste.

If Bofus is within 30' of Red, I will catch:

Tirion, Red, Poppy, the Lion sergeant (AS5), the Lion (AO3), Thordak and Bofus. If Bofus does not move into range, then all but Bofus.

The Black Tentacles continue to grasp and crush those trapped within.

Grapple(CMB): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 <-- for all caught within

Poppy maintains her position, clacking away with her crossbow at the Giant struggling near the entanglement

Attack 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 2

• Bofus sneaks out from the rooftop and fires an acid arrow at the giant to deliver a deadly blow to the giant. The great creature howls in pain.

DMHW, did you register both hits (or did one miss)? I'm guessing the crit threat didn't confirm...but I did forget to add the +2 for bard song, so that confirm roll is a 19 (and extra crit damage was 19). Would have been 4 more damage over the 2 hits (assuming both hit, and no crit)

ROUND 3

Bofus, get back here so that I can speed you up

*whisper* gocha! Potshot first...

Bofus shoots straight down, at the bladebearer at AH 1, then gives a big smile and jaunty wave when the blighter looks up. He then races south, parking directly above the Brindol Lion at AO 3 (which is just at the edge of the range of Haste)

Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 = 28
Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 + (6, 6, 3, 5) = 29 <--wow, nice damage rolls!!

OK, I think I can stop some of those boats, or at least slow them down. Gimme a holler if you need me back right away!!
