DM Panic's Wounded Wisp Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master wakedown

Greatly wounded, Helm nevertheless moves to engage the archer.

"You will not live past this day," he says.

Challenge to the archer, I get +1 dmg and DR/1 vs. the archer.

katana (cold iron)(two-handed)(power attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11

The robed man in the back shambles further back and seems to focus on Helm and Taicho for a moment (deselecting them with Selective Channeling) and then works to heal his allies by channeling his patron's power.

The brute turns to the eagle.

"RARRGH! Enough of you!"

The lumbering brute swings his club at the eagle that continues to harry him and the shadowy form nearly explodes in response (18 damage to the eagle). The brute then steps up next to Helm and stretches his kneck and arms as he prepares for another swing.

The archer takes a step back from Helm and aims at the samurai, hoping to slow his advance. His arrow misses as the archer seems more concerned about giving the grease wide berth than landing his mark.

Now Up: Everyone!

Van activates his Infernal Healing wand and uses it on MacDowell, then pulls out his Magic Missile wand.

MacDowell has fast healing 1 for 10 rounds. 48/50 charges left on IH wand.

Round 4 Expert Duelist AC20
With the swordsman down and out, Taicho advances to attack the archer once again.
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 for Slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Round 4: Move action only, zero hp.

Hhggg...that hurted. Cursed savages, Asmodeus will put them at their place!
Thank you Potter. May the Dark Lord bless you.
With the world still spinning in front of his eyes MacDowell slowly gets up.

I believe that's three hits on the brute. Here's the NPC statuses as we await Helm...

15 Touched Man (T) :
15 Brute (B) (-4hp):
15 Swordsman (S) (-16hp) : Unconscious
15 Archer (A) :

He should have taken a total of 7 damage from the eagle - 4 damage from that first bite, then 3 more hits, you said.

With a subtle twirl of his stencils, another shadowy bird, slightly different in appearance, erupts into being and resumes its predecessor's assault on the brute.

Here comes a NEW shadowy celestial eagle puppet! It appears in a flank with Helm, and launches a full attack complete with Smite on the Brute. Make another DC 16 Will save. I then move as indicated.

talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Van, I think you still have an action for this round.

Will DC16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Taicho's swordwork comes up just short as the wily elven archer seems to possess great speed in side-stepping his attack.

The brute, seeing another shadowy eagle laughs.

"HA! Seen that trick before!"

Still Up: Helm

Helm's wounds continue to hinder his attacks.

katana (cold iron)(two-handed) attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The touched man begins to circle around the combat to the fallen swordsman while the brute swings and fails to hit the latest eagle.

The archer proves to have the most luck as he steps back and looses an arrow at Taicho, hitting the tengu (for 3 damage)

Round 3 Con't
14 Helm : Swings and misses
3 Van : Activates infernal healing on MacDowell, draws magic missile wand

Now Up: Everyone!

Moving to get a better view of the battlefield, Van fires a magic missile from his wand at the Swordsman in an attempt to finish him off.

MM Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
42 charges left on wand

The shadow bird continues to harass the brute.

Bear in mind, Helm: You're enjoying a flank with the shadow bird for the time being.

talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Meanwhile, Xasay is keeping an eye on the touched man....

I ready an action to fire an arrow at the Touched Man on the condition that he attempts to heal the Swordsman.

Stealth, if possible: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

If/when the readied action contingency is met:
shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

HP:1
Is it possible to ID if the Touched man is a cleric and which god does he workship? Maybe a holy symbol or something... Just in case:
K. Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

MacDowell advances and clubs the brute on the head with his heavy mace.
Have you seen this one too?
Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Round 5 HP 6/9; Expert Duelist AC20
Taicho advances on the Touched Man with his sword ...
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 for Slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Helm's face shows no signs of pain. Despite his wounds, he charges the archer with a loud yell.

katana (cold iron)(two-handed)(power attack): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 191d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

@MacDowell: You don't notice any symbols, including a holy symbol, carried by the Touched Man that would indicate from where his divine powers are obtained (oracle).

The Pathfinders manage to regroup and inflict a barrage of light wounds to their foes. Helm slashes at the archer, who drops to the ground while Taicho stabs the Touched Man and MacDowell clubs the brute.

The Touched Man takes a few steps back from Taicho, and once again a ripple of healing washes over his allies (selects out Helm and Taicho but does heal MacDowell for 2).

"Fools! We will have our prize!"

The brute turns his wrath to MacDowell, but his powerful swing barely misses the Asmodean, reminding him that he's just one powerful blow away from a permanent union with his Dark Prince.

The archer stirs from unconsciousness at Helm's feet and with little to do, he draws his shortsword and stabs erratically at the samurai.

Round 4 Con't
14 Helm : Slashes at archer for 13hp
3 Van : Magic missile to swordsman for 2hp

Round 5
20 Taicho : Slashes at Touched Man for 3hp

Round 6
HP: 4
Guys if we dont focus fire on the brute and on touched man its going to end badly for us.

MacDowell desperatly press on his attack on the brute.
A little help here would be greatly appreciated.
Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Attk: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Van shoots a magic missile at the Brute this time, hoping to kill the guy before he kills the cleric.

MM Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
41 charges left on wand

Helm attempts to finish off the archer. The samurai acts with ruthless efficiency.

katana (cold iron)(two-handed) attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Round 5 Con't
14 Helm : Finishes off the archer (again), hitting for 11hp
3 Van : Magic missiles the brute for 5hp

Round 6
20 Taicho :
18 Xasay :
16 MacDowell : Brings down the brute, hitting for 6hp

Only the Touched Man remains up at this point!

Still Up: Taicho, Xasay

Round 6 Expert Duelist AC20; HP 6/9
Taicho presses the attack against the touched man ...
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 for Slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Can I keep my errant arrow? An even number says I can: 1d100 ⇒ 72

The shadow eagle suddenly appears from out of the darkness behind the touched man and attacks.

Eagles have a fly speed of 80 feet, it has no trouble making it over there safely. Make a DC 16 Will save, Touched Man.

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

At the same time, Xasay charges him with his sword, taking advantage of the distraction provided by his puppet to attempt an especially dirty strike.

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

The touched man cackles a hoarse laugh as the eagle swoops in and Xasay collapses upon him.

"I'll take one of you with me!"

Morningstar: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 = 12 for 1d8 ⇒ 8

His swings look like it would've hit hard, but sadly for him, it only finds open air.

Now Up: Everyone! (We're looking for 8 damage vs AC13 here!)

Wait - I failed to account for charge bonus AND flanking bonus in my previous attack, so that last attack of mine would have hit!

Puppet:
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Xasay:
longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Come on you crazy cats, I shouldn't have waste so much magic on these thugs." Van says with minor annoyance as he fires his wand once again, this time at the Touched Man.

MM Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
40 charges left on wand

Between Van's magic missile and the retcon to Xasay's bonuses, we have the telling blow to bring the Touched Man down!

As you search the fallen forms of your attackers, you pick out a couple potions to help get yourselves back to your feet. It's a short trek back to Dreng's alleyway lookout, but the venture captain is nowhere to be found.

You do however notice a group of Pathfinders you recognize as fresh recruits headed towards the Wounded Wisp, muttering something about getting an old man a bottle of wine...

And that's a wrap!
