DM Pendin Fust Wrath of the Righteous - Group B (Inactive)

Game Master theheadkase

Lirrathan just smiles, and whispers, "Finally, a fight." Before drawing his blades while making his up the stairs as quiet as he can in his excitement to see some action.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 [+2 in Urban environments] (Low-light)
Stealth 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 [+2 in Urban environments]
Silent Hunter: Reduce Steath penalty for moving by -5

Taking his cues from Lirrathan, Paritosh will also attempt to move stealth...

Stealth: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (19) - 5 = 14

It doesn't get much better than that!

iOS doesn't play well with Google docs.

I use a mac and have no problems with it…

My Mac tends to do just fine for most things as well, but it's not my platform of opportunity for most of the day. Mac's don't run on iOS. iPads and iPhones do. I haul around an iPhone and an iPad.

Does it sound like someone teleporting in?

It does not sound like magic per se, and does not sound like teleportation. It almost has a...viscous sound.

Sir Bastion starts the walk up the stairs.
stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1

Paritosh looks at Sir Bastion and gives him the "Shhhh" hand and lip sign.

With a whisper he responds back, "What? Did you hear something else?"

Lirrathan moves out to the top of the stairs, then stops and listens. He wants to try and gauge where the largest amount of activity is coming from. It's better to surprise a larger force, than a smaller one, and avoid the larger one coming to their aid.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 [+2 in Urban environments] (Low-light)
Stealth 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 [+2 in Urban environments]
Silent Hunter: Reduce Steath penalty for moving by -5

The loudest sound Lirrathan hears is a clomping noise and a large whuf from the door immediately south of the stairwell's landing. Various other noises seem to come from the southeast room from the stairwell's landing. A singular loudish sound from the south, a few distinct and smaller sounds to the southeast, and the odd sounds from the floor below...

Lets go and investigate one of the noises.

"Agreed."

Maybe I'm crazy and missed it, but which way/noise do you want to investigate?

Sorry, my delay. School's had me swamped.

Lirrathan waits for the others to gather, and move toward the door that sounds to have a crowd in it. He points to the south door and mouths the word "Horse?". Moving on, he stops first at the opening to the room going north, ensuring nothing is hiding inside. If that's all clear, he steps to the southeastern door, and looks to see if the others nod their readiness. Once they do, he will open it.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 [+2 in Urban environments] (Low-light)
Stealth 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 [+2 in Urban environments]
Silent Hunter: Reduce Steath penalty for moving by -5

Seeing that there are enemies in the northern room, Lirrathan stops his advance. Instead, he turns and signals to the others. He jerks a thumb towards the room, points to his eyes, holds up four fingers, and then mocks horns on his head. He waves the others forward, and prepares his blades to taste cultist blood.

Okay, guys, I am reluctant to move forward in game with no one moving up along with me. Both as a player and a fellow GM, I ask that you keep track of your movements on the map. Otherwise, it shows I only have 1 ally 25' away, and 3 others about 70' away from me.

As previously stated, I can't change the map. As previously stated I'm happy to be moved on the map and have a desire to keep up with the front as we move around.

Paritosh keeps on Lirrathan's heels.

When Lirrathan moves out of sight from the base of the stairs, he is a bit concerned on if he should proceed up the stairs or wait for Lirrathan to signal them forward. This question is answered as Paritosh scales the stairs and also moves from view.

Stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2

'squeak... creek...'

"Would be nice if they would keep these stairs in better repair," he thinks to himself.

Once at the top of the stairs he looks back down the stairs, but sees no others in the previous room. Turning back to Lirrathan and Paritosh, he only shrugs and whispers to them, "They must be outside of my vision, I am sure they are there as we haven't heard them scream in terror or anguish yet."

Back from my trip and ready to advance the story.

Arcs moves up to back up the ranger.

You guys are still fine...they haven't noticed you above the relatively loud shuffling of papers and such.

Don't want to move the black spaces on the map, but shouldn't we see the contents of the NE room?

As soon as the others all catch up and are ready to go, Lirrathan bounds into action. He rushes the closest one to him in hopes of removing one before the fight even starts.

Move to closest (charge if possible)
Attack with Radiance 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 (+2 if allowed to charge)
Confirm? 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 (+2 if allowed to charge) hope that hits flat-footed
damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8, if confirmed add 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

OOPS! Sorry I thought I had already!

Lirrathan quietly charges in and slices one of the tieflings down...The others haven't even been able to register they are under attack.

Surprise round for everyone

I will move in and whack somebody!

Scimitar Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Scimitar Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

All: You are under the effects of a Bless spell, 8 rounds prior to this Sir Bastions Action.

@Paritosh: I moved you into the room. (25' of 30')

Suprise Round
Sir Bastion moves forward so he can see into the room.

-----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); Sanctify Corpse on 4 corpes, 24hrs; -1 Chr checks; bless, 8 rds;

By the way, how do you guys handle initiative?

Surprise Round
Åkon moves with Sir Bastion, content with staying behind him for the time being.

By the way, how do you guys handle initiative?

Pretty poorly really. It is corporate policy to pretty much always let the bad guys get the drop on us, so their sneak attacks and such have maximum effectiveness. It's worked for us so far.

Please put your init bonus under your name, I'll roll inits.

Let's hold till Monday for our travelers!

Paritosh Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Aakon Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Bastion Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Arc Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Lirrathan Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Tieflings: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Group Alpha: Arc, Lirrathan,Aakon
Group Beta: Tieflings, Paritosh, Bastion

Group Alpha you're up.

Paritosh: Surprise round allows a more or a standard. So no "move in and whack". Its only move in OR whack.

Arc moves up for his surprise round action.

Paritosh: Surprise round allows a more or a standard. So no "move in and whack". Its only move in OR whack.

Arc moves up for his surprise round action.

Partial Charge then, although the term isn't used, the action still exists.

Yep, as long as you can charge and attack in your move speed or less then that is allowed.

Following the repositioning of teammates and the surprisingly brutal attack by Lirrathan and a successful "Han Solo" by Paritosh, the tieflings all draw their weapons hurriedly.

Group Alpha Round 1 actions.

Seeing the enemy Arc drops a glitterdust to target all but the one engaged with the party. DC 17 Will Save or be blind for 3 rounds. But save each round to try to recover.

Lirrathan sidesteps the enemy before him, preparing himself to move on to the next one once his first foe has dropped. His eagerness, combined with the recovery from his first blow, pulls his swing with Radiance a little shy of its mark.... okay a lot shy. His short sword, though, has a much better effect. Even if it is more of a solid nick than a true stab.

5' step
Full-attack
Radiance 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Shortsword 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Aakon, what are your actions for R1? I'll go ahead and bot later tonight or tomorrow if I don't see any.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was the other group before it was me again after the surprise. My apologies.

Åkon moves to a more advantageous position on the other side of Arcessentes, holding his arrow on his bowstring as he waits for a more opportune moment to loose.

Move action: Move 10 feet to the other side of Arcessentes.
Standard action: Åkon uses the Ready action. He will shoot at the first tiefling to have partial cover or less against his attack.
Swift action: Åkon activates Arcane Strike.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 Saved.

The tieflings finally understand whats happening and scramble to grab weapons and move about the room to defend. One of the tieflings looks like he is ready to try to run out of the doorway as he jumps up on the table.

Group Beta PCs then Group Alpha again.

I will swing away at the one I'm on.

Scimitar Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Scimitar Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Arc moves for a good shot and targets a blind Tiefling with is crossbow.

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 181d8 ⇒ 4

Round 1

Still a little rattled from the near death experience moments before, Sir Bastion steps into the room and swings his longsword at the tiefling in front of him while keeping his guard up.

Longsword, Fight Def.: 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 8
Damage, Longsword: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Current AC 20/13/17 CMD16

-----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); Sanctify Corpse on 4 corpes, 24hrs; -1 Chr checks; bless, 7 rds;

Arc's bolt sinks in but the Tiefling still stands while Paritosh and Bastion fail to strike successfully.

The tieflings all take a swipe at the combatants in the room...

Short Sword vs. Lirrathan: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Short Sword vs. Lirrathan: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Short Sword vs. Paritosh: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Short Sword vs. Paritosh: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

All missing their mark. The tiefling on top of the table sprints off and makes for the door...

Acrobatics vs Paritosh: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Makes it through Paritosh
Acrobatics vs Bastion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Bastion gets an AoO

Group Beta PCs then back to Group Alpha for R2.

I will swing away at the one I'm on.

Scimitar Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Scimitar Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

AoO

Longsword, Fight Def.: 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 20
Damage, Longsword: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Iomedae guide my arm!" Sir Bastion calls out as he swings at the fleeing tiefling.

Current AC 20/13/17 CMD16

-----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); Sanctify Corpse on 4 corpes, 24hrs; -1 Chr checks; bless, 7 rds;

Round 2

I am going to make an assumption that the tiefling that is trying to flee is between Arcessentes and Sir Bastion, as Arcessentes and Åkon did not have the opportunity for an AoO.

With the surge of divine guidance still lingering from his last strike, Sir Bastion new found faith allows him to continue his swing on the fleeing tiefling.

Longsword, flank?: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage, Longsword: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Reminder to everyone... Bless is still in effect for 6 more rounds

If the tiefling was not there or dead, Sir Bastion will either switch to a new target in the room or move to the fleeing teifling, as you see appropriate.

-----------------------------
On Going Effect: Life Link (Paritosh); Sanctify Corpse on 4 corpes, 24hrs; -1 Chr checks; Bless, 6 rds;

Does the tiefling attempting to escape fulfill the criteria of my readied action?

I hit AC 16 with the Bless bonus.

@Aakon he would if his acrobatics check would have made it or if the AoO would have failed but...

Bastion's mighty swing drops the tiefling trying to escape in one swish. His next attack, combined with Paritosh's singing scimitar drops yet another.

Updated the map for you Bastion. Red outline means dead or dying.

Group alpha! R2 actions.

Not wishing any to escape Arc 5' steps up and blocks the doorway as he reloads his crossbow. He then fires on the enemy in front of Lirrathan.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 111d8 ⇒ 4

Lirrathan continues his assault, swinging wildly at the one on front of him. His attention is diverted somehow by the concern over the one trying to get away, regardless of its failure. He is frustrated at a problem he lays entirely on his weapon. "Sure, this damn sword can talk, but it sure as hell can't seem to hit anything. What about you Bastion, if your sword's any better I'll trade ya."

Full-attack
Radiance 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Shortsword 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13, damage?? 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Yay, finally an impetus to get rid of the sword. I went back and looked at my rolls. I hit only about 1/4 of my attacks with Radiance. Lirr's fed up with it.
