Brynn's arrow strikes the creature, but bounces off its armored skin. Not making purchase.

Bethany's swing also strikes the creature, but is deflected with a swift arm swing avoiding any damage.

It sees the half Orc recovered on the ground and the human to the side. It swings first at Bethany, but misses at it spins around. It then winds up for another swing against the small human.
Blade Power Attack Bethany: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

With a vicious grin it quickly turns to vors on the ground and Bites down at the Half Orc.

geez, that's nuts. Here's hoping we can get a nice crit somewhere xD
And just BTW, full defense and fighting defensively are options
Also did Vors just go from -5 to 13 to 1?
o.o
silly me for thinking max healing was a lot...

Seeing his friends continue to get pounded, Grilnik once again presents the platinum arm breaking a golden chain and healing light bursts forth.
Channel Energy (Heal living): 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6) = 16 welp, at least my healing dice are on fire too o.o
I think that puts Vors at 17 and Beth at only 12 damage...

Bethany's laugh falters for a moment as the pain of a very solid hit penetrates her rage. Still There is nothing to do but laugh and keep swinging.

As his half-orc blood boil to end this outsider, a small voice inside his mind keeps telling him to heal himself. Dropping one rapier to hold his holy symbol, Vors heals himself with cure light wounds.
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 [facepalm]

With a curse on her lips, Brynn takes a gamble. She taps her spring-loaded scroll case, launching a magical scroll into her open hand, then gives it a flick, unfurling the scroll. She reads from the scroll, chanting in an arcane tongue. There's a sparkling in the air, and suddenly a burst of golden magical dust explodes from the ceiling near the grioth, coating it in glitter.

Casting glitterdust from a scroll at the grioth. She's aiming it at the yellow dot marked on the map, but she's aiming it 15 ft. in the air. The 10 ft. radius spread will only affect the grioth then, and no companions, UNLESS the two birds against the wall are flying ten feet in the air, then they'll also get struck, too. (I assumed the birds were flying within 5 ft. of the floor so they could potentially flank with an ally standing on the ground, such as Vors if he had stood up. Apologies to Grilnik if this is not the case).

GM:

The grioth needs to make a Will save or its blinded. For some reason I didn't write down the CL of the scroll, and I can't recall where we picked it up. If it's the lowest possible CL the Will save is DC 12, I believe (unfortunately). If it was picked up as treasure as a higher CL, then that would change the DC. I'll try to sift back to find out if I can find the time today. Thanks.


Assuming Vors, you tried to cast the defensively, since it would trigger an AoO otherwise.

Defensively Vors DC 16: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
That means your heal didn't go off, but you where not hit. You did use the spell slot though

As the Birds swing their talons, annoying the enemy, only one hits through its armor and tough hide.

Bethany’s wing goes wide

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 The burst of glowing lights hits the creature, but its very alien eyes seem to not be effected by the flash of glitter. Even in the blast of glitter its ears twitch and seem to hone in on the adventurers. You got the scroll off a level 5 sorc, but it did not have create scrolls. So it is likely not using its DC. So I think you are right, it is the low DC.

The creature turns it attention onto Bethany again. Swinging Hard down onto her twice. The first hits, but the second goes wide.
G Bethany: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
G Bethany: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (3, 3) + 15 = 21

It then attempts to bite the shorter human. Striking true onto her shoulder.
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The bite releases a surge of fluid into the wound.
Fort Save Bethany: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Save

It looks down at Vors and grins.

Frustrated at her inability to strike the grioth, Brynn knocks another arrows and focuses her arcane powers into the arrow. She lets out her breath and fires! As the arrow flies it trails a line of fire. Paying an arcane pool point to use pool ray in conjunction with ranged spellstrike.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17

Vors heal spell fizzles. "Godsdammit!" The half-orc cursed.

Still holding Flametongue, Vors stabs upward while prone. The magical weapon sinks deep into the creature, the back of the grioth explodes with flame!!

@Vors: Beth might not be getting a flank bonus, but you should be getting that +2 until that guy swings at the birds :D
Also flanking means sneak attack, right? Is that in there? :D
@GM Nex: I don't know if 15 confirms, but 17 feels more confirm-y :D

Seeing Bethany getting clobbered and the evil grin of the grioth, Grilnik charges forward with his longhammer held high.
"By the might of The Strong Man!"

Grilnik:
FYI, celestial eagles don't have the feat 'hover' so they need to make a DC 15 Fly check as a free action to hover in place. If they pass you get that full attack you rolled, but if they fail you need to decide if they:
- spend a move action to move at least half their speed (which would allow them to remain aloft) and take a single attack
- make a full attack action then spend a free action to take a five foot step. Then they must make a fly check as part of that step to remain aloft despite moving less than half their fly speed (Fly DC 10) Failure means they're forced to land at the end of the turn.
- take a full attack action and remain in place, but then they cannot remain flying at the end of your turn and they must land.

I don't think it matters much if they're forced to land in this situation, but it would probably matter for next turn. Just FYI. (Relevant rules are under the fly skill and the hover feat. I can quote them for you if you like, but not now).


Sorry to burst your bubble, but 15 does not confirm. You have to get their AC with the confirm. He is very tough. Removing Crit damage that is: 4+3+3= 10 damage (1st of the d6s and half the modifier, and no d10 damage). Still solid damage though!

Brynn’s arrow bouches off the creatures thick hide. Vors stabs forward, and nearly gets an powerful blow, but it damages normally. Bethany swings wide again. The adventurers can hear a strange sound of small plastic objects hitting a wall somewhere. Grilnik strikes true as well.

A few of the bird's attacks hit true.

The creature turns to Vors and strikes down, hard!
G Power Attack/Vital Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
With prone.. that hits... sorry!
Damage: 4d4 + 21 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 3) + 21 = 31

The half orc on the ground gets stabbed through with the strange blueish glass blade. As you hear the blade hit the floor below Vors, the light in his eyes fades and he goes limp against the floor. The beast's blade vibrates in the body and the beast grins a huge toothy grin, wounds healing slightly.

Round 7 
Grilnik, Bethany, Brynn, Vors <-- 
G (-59)

So... before I make all the assumptions.. Orc Ferocity only can happen once a day.. If you health is at 17.. that would put you at -14.. your Con is 12.. SO that puts you in the dead zone, correct? I am not a huge fan of killing characters, but this thing is brutal and heals when it knocks out or kills creatures.. and you where prone next to it. I also described him turning to you in the previous round. Am I doing ANYTHING wrong.. or is there anything anyone can do to stop this? Otherwise you and I should discuss where to go from here.

Seeing her companion fall and knowing she is on her last leg as well Bethany's eyes go wide in fear. She is next to a very dangers foe, bleeding badly and just not feeling very lucky. Still there is only one thing she can do.

Looking panicked, Brynn utters a few arcane words then takes very careful aim. She fires a single arrow that wobbles in the air, then veers toward the grioth, striking despite its shaky start. Using ranged spell combat to cast true strike then fire an arrow with deadly aim at the grioth.

The magical arrow flies true and strikes the creature, burning into it. The summoned birds continue to barrage the creature, cutting it down.

A extremely bloodly creature continues to breath.. Looking around the room, and strikes down on the small human in front of it.

G Bethany Blade: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
G Bethany Blade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
G Bethany Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Only the first one striking true.
Damage: 2d4 + 24 ⇒ (3, 2) + 24 = 29
Cutting the human down to the ground.

It is breathing heavy, does not look good. Surrounded by the birds it starts to look worried, if such a inhuman thing can look worried.

Round 8
Grilnik, Bethany, Brynn, Vors <-- 
G (-93)

God! This thing is terrible.. Those rolls!!

Brynn takes a step closer to the stairwell, knocks another arrow, and focuses her arcane powers into the arrow. She lets out her breath and fires! As the arrow flies it trails a line of fire. Paying an arcane pool point to use pool ray in conjunction with ranged spellstrike.

Con: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

As Bethany take a backs with Big Brother but she is not fast enough, not fast enough by half and the creature knocks her down where she lays bleeding, her body unable to stabilize itself.

When the dice go bad they go bad both ways it seems.


The magic arrow flies at the bleeding creature. It strikes true, and hits it mid in the chest. With a burst of fire from the arrow the creature's multiple eyes dim. Its large sword clatters to the ground and it topples over to the ground. Dead.

I know you have other things to do, but here is loot and stuff

Loot from creature:

Large Breastplate
+1 Cruel voidglass falchion

Is the falchion medium sized...? If it's large sized I think we took less damage than we should've xD
If it's medium then maybe he should've taken a size mismatch penalty to attacks? That would actually change things, I think :3
I hope? >.>
I guess I'll just assume nothing important needs retconning for now... but I'll be optimistic and just use Stabilize? xD

"BETH!"
Seeing Brynn's arrow fell the creature, Grilnik quickly turns to healing. He casts Stabilize on Bethany and then Vors, feeling something not quite right when he tries to stabilize the collapsed half-orc.

Looking more worried than triumphant, Brynn keeps her bow in hand, aimed at the apparently dead grioth.

"They alive?" she asks Grilnik.

"Something is wrong..." Grilnik mutters as he moves to keep the dead grioth out of range. Healing light from his holy symbol pours out over Vors and Bethany.

Channel Energy (heal living): 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10

Brynn moves over to loot the beast, putting the armour and weapon in their bags. Moving over to the others she reaches out a hand to the newly-conscious young girl.

"Come on, Beth. This is not place to rest."

Looking down at Vors, she frowns. "Nothing?" she asks Grilnik.

Bethany coughs loudly and as she sits up spitting out a glob of blood. Her eyes take a moment to focus as she looks around blinking before noticing Vors. She sits for a moment longer before Brynn's voice catches her attention and she struggles to her feet.

"He's gone?"

She shakes her head in disbelief for a moment suddenly in over her young head.

"What do we do now?"

It is only then that her remaining wounds are felt and she uses Big Brother to lean on.

Grilnik smashes the floor with his longhammer in frustration before answering Bethany.

"We save the town."
He pats his humongous and elaborately braided beard "by my beard, we will save the town."

He approaches the corpse of the half-orc, muttering "just had to be a hero, huh?"

Grilnik stands over the lifeless form and tries his orison again, once again feeling the feedback of failure.
"Think the Abadarians could help? Who saw us enter besides the druid?"

Grilnik stares down hard and Vors's remains, wondering if they should bother with some sort of stretcher.

Looking to Vors Bethany clasps the tankard on the chain around her neck and speaks quietly.

"May the accidental god get you to the right place friend. He will get you where you need to be. If you had lived I would be dead I am sure."

She straightens and looks at Grilnik.

"Right. Save the town and smash what we must." her wounds still hurt but clearly she is putting on a game face though she has no idea what to do.

"His girlfriend will want to bury him properly," Brynn points out. "And this isn't a safe place to mourn." Brynn pauses for a while, clearly upset. "If we're going to press on today we'll need to leave him here for a while... And if we're planning to flee before we claim this place.... I'm not sure we'll be able to carry him."

"Whatever we decide, we'll need to make it quickly."

So... I vote we leave Vors' body here and finish up at the monstary, then carry him back to town and resupply. Other opinions now that we're at this point?

Pretty sound strategy. Don't forget the kobolds xD

Grilnik heaves a heavy sigh.
"Right, maybe we should check to see if there's another beardless monster hanging around in this place first. Wouldn't want anyone to alert the dragon."

Grilnik marches over to Bethany and casts a couple healing spell on her.

Ironbeard->CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Comprehend Languages->CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Seeing that the first two obviously weren't enough, he pulls out a rod and casts a third.

Lesser Restoration->maximized CMW: 8 + 8 + 5 = 21 still not enough, lol

"If you're still aching, maybe check Vors for berries..." he says as he puts the rod away again.

As the healing flows though her knitting closed the still weeping wounds Bethan straightens up and even stretches. Clearly the pain had her a little distracted.

"Yes, the berries. We can leave him hear but not just laying there." She pulls him to the side and wraps him in his cloak, despite it being magical she would rather him covered in repose. While doing this she retrieves the berries and the wand of CLW which she hands to Grilnik. She speaks quietly to Vors as she does this. "Sorry to have to take this stuff be the job must be finished. I am sure you would understand."

She eats eight of the berries further boosting her health but stopping before diminishing returns sets in.

"I'm feeling pretty good now."

After the enemy drops, the room is quiet. You see doors to the north and south, and paths to the west and east. With a friend lost, a decision of which way to go still looms in front of you.

Grilnik sighs again.
"I suppose first we should check this room behind the defeated beast."
Grilnik readies his longhammer and approches the northern door.


17/19 Rage | Status: None - Blessing of Good: +1d6 Good 10/10 | CLW: 4/4 4 Barbarian / 1 Warpriest | 64+0/66 HP | 23 AC | 14 Touch | 21 Flat | +2 INIT| +7 Pre | CMB +6 | CMD 18 | +9 Fort | +3 Ref | +3 Will | +8 Big Brother 2d6+3 x3 | +7 MW CI Gladius 1d6+9 | | | | | | | | Raging Stats: +0/8 HP | 21 AC | 14 Touch | 15 Flat | CMB +8 | CMD 16 | +9 Fort | +3 Ref | +5 Will | +10 Big Brother 2d6+5 x3 | +8 MW CI Cladius 1d6+4 |

Bethany slids beside Grilnik. The moment before the door opens she says a short prayer and her hammer glows with a white light. Blessing of Good on BB.

Brynn follows, bow at the ready, and last in line.


The room to the north seems to be a store room of some kind. It contains old supplies used for bookbinding and writing. After a glance through both areas, there does not seem to be any valuable books or items. Thought they seem to have been removed.

"Well, one less place for beardless backstabbers to hide. Probably-hallway next?"
Grilnik starts heading towards the closer eastern hallway.


17/19 Rage | Status: None - Blessing of Good: +1d6 Good 10/10 | CLW: 4/4 4 Barbarian / 1 Warpriest | 64+0/66 HP | 23 AC | 14 Touch | 21 Flat | +2 INIT| +7 Pre | CMB +6 | CMD 18 | +9 Fort | +3 Ref | +3 Will | +8 Big Brother 2d6+3 x3 | +7 MW CI Gladius 1d6+9 | | | | | | | | Raging Stats: +0/8 HP | 21 AC | 14 Touch | 15 Flat | CMB +8 | CMD 16 | +9 Fort | +3 Ref | +5 Will | +10 Big Brother 2d6+5 x3 | +8 MW CI Cladius 1d6+4 |

Bethany's grip relaxes on her hammer as the glow begins to fade from it. She looks a little sheepish but shrugs.

"Little jumpy I guess."

Brynn follows again, sure to stay near the back.


The hallway goes around a long distance to another door. To continue down through this way, or back through and check other items.

Feeling her nerves steady some after Grilnik lays his hands on her Bethany feels better. At the end of the hallway she looks at the others?

"Were here may as well check this door first rather then go back for the one behind us?"

If no one objects she will grip her hammer and open the door.

Brynn looks into the doorway past the bodies of a scrawny girl, a two massive hammers, and a stocky dwarf...

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17


This door leads into another strangely turning room. Numerous statues of robed men and women occupy the niches in this curving hall.

Farther down you notice a spiral staircase. That leads both up and down.

Brynn does not see anything else of interest.

lf the others wish to be perceptive, please roll

"Well, I don't see anyone in there. Maybe we close the door and check out the other areas?"


Man.. sorry about the delay. Just lost track.. again!

There is a door to the north, and a stairwell that goes both up and down.

Where to?
