DM Puppet Master's Humble Bundle Welcome Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Anon A Mouse

Marzela moves to heal Lily further, but sees that she isn't breathing, and realizes that she is too late. Still in shock from that realization, she also sees the Garuda flying directly above her, likely coming in for another kill. She isn't sure if she can save Lily, but she knows that if she dies, she won't get the chance, so she heals herself instead, hoping she can stay alive in order to keep the others alive.

Cure Critical: 4d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 8, 3, 8) + 8 = 30

Nothing in the description says that it does, so I would assume not, unless you want to rule otherwise. As for the blade rushing, that was my fault, forgot to move myself. I am blade rushing to the left side of the blue one. I didn't notice that North was not up! I have moved myself now.

While Carrakas manages to hit the retreating garuda, it doesn't seem that bothered either it or the incomprehensible barbs thrown at it in Taldane. He then charges towards one of the archers and while he manages to land a solid blow, falls just short of pushing him off the rafters. Meanwhile Millsy continues to chase after the fleeing mill worker, finally managing to land a blow and kill one of them.

Millsy AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Millsy Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + (4) = 19

Many of the remaining mill workers on the ground floor begin cowering, however the one unaffected man continues to move away, firing once at the quickly approaching Jaed, who simply ducks out of the way.

Bow Attack vs AC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Garuda Spellcraft DC 19: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

The garuda, not recognizing that Marzela is now significantly healthier than she was just a short time ago, continues to unload his bow upon her.

vs AC 16; last d6 continues to be electricity
Attack 1: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (6) = 17
Attack Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 19 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4) = 14
Attack 2: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 1 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (6) = 16
Attack 3: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (3) = 10

The archer next to Carrakas, seeing the trouble his bow-less companion is having with the tiefling zipping about, shifts his bow to a one-handed grip, draws his dagger, and attack Carrakas with it, but doesn't fair very well.
Dagger vs Carrakas AC 24: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 15

The other archer apparently decides Finnrick is more of a threat to the garuda than Carrakas and aims his bow at the druid.
Bow vs AC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Bow vs AC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16

The last man in the rafters makes use of his increased speed to get to the other side of Carrakas and similarly attempt to attack him, but the blow bounces harmlessly off his armor.

Acrobatics DC 15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Dagger vs Carrakas AC 24: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 22

Round 4
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 5
- Marzela, Jaed
- Enemies

Party is up. Finnrick has a DC Fort save or he takes another 1 Con damage and Wis damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

"You won't be able to run anymore," Jaed says grinning at the worker that just shot him.

The rogue drops his crossbow and unsheathes his two swords as he slowly approaches his foe. A flame ignites on the one in his right hand and the one in his left gets covered in ice.

Ongoing Acid damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Another arrow hits Finnrick, and even though it doesn't drive deep, a familiar poison enters his blood stream.

Seeing that his lightning bolts are continuing to be at least somewhat effective, Finnrick calls down another one.

SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6) = 13

I keep getting that SR, but that Wis damage is killing my DCs, DC19 Reflex for half

Meanwhile Millsy continues to persue her prey.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (1) = 15
Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Shoot Lilly sorry about that, that's rough

Glancing back, Carrakas grins as he sees the Garuda not retreating and that he is just barely in his range. Ignoring the two men surrounding him, he gathers up energy again and blade rushes to in front of the Garuda. He tries to be a little more careful with his aim this time, hoping again to knock the birdman off the rafters.

Pushing Blade Rush again, this time with no power attack. Note for the DM - as long as I am blade rushing about the place, I have -2 to AC, so my effective AC is 22, not 24. I don't think it has mattered at all yet, but for future reference. I'll try to be better about posting that every time.
Attack, Blade Rush: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 = 27
Damage, bludgeoning: 4d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 3) + 9 = 24
Bull rush: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

@Finnrick: What's that acid damage for? Also, I would personally be more worried about the Con damage since the change in DCs hasn't actually affected any of his saves and the Con damage just decreased you max HP by 8 and your fort saves by 1. You should also clarify which person Millsy is going after since she killed the one next to her.

Garuda Reflex: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17

The garuda squawks as both the electricty and Carrakas' attacks go through, however its defenses seem better than the archer and it doesn't budge from the beam its standing on.

@Carrakas: Actually, the bow-less archer hit you then.
Fortification, low negates sneak attack: 1d100 ⇒ 90
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (1, 2, 4) = 11

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Vastly injured once again, and knowing that even her best healing is unable to keep up with the Garuda's constant onslaught directed against her alone, Marzela isn't sure what to do. Then, just in time, she sees that the walls of the building are stone, and moves, bleeding, to the wall, casting Stone Shape.

She takes part of the width of the walls her structure touches, forming it into a half-arch 15 feet wide and coming out about 20 feet. It branches from the wall about 13 feet up, and then down to protect her and Lily from anyone above. It is open on the sides in the part where the doors to the west are (leaving them operable), and she leaves another open doorway to the east (right next to Finnrick), but overall it forms kind of a cave-like area. To the south it meets the floor just past the crate near Lily (green outline).

She is as careful as possible to leave the original wall structurally sound, shored up by the structure she makes rather than weakened, and not visible on the outside, but whether she is able to do so I leave to the DM... I'm definitely not a structural engineer.

It is from acid maw, on a successful hit Millsy deals 1d4 acid damage and it persists for 2 rounds. Every successful hit after resets the timer, and I guess it would be the next closest enemy on the ground level. Green, if not then blue

@Marzela: Sorry, should have been more clear, but when you saved against the poison you were cured of it, so you don't need to make any more saves. As to the the cave, my math seems to think you have enough stone to build it while still making the building fine (Seems like the walls right next to you have about 190 cubic feet and you're only manipulating 18 cubic feet). Though it seems like with the area you're trying to cover the wall will only be a bit under 0.3 inches thick, does that sound about right to you?

Jaed closes in on the one non-cowering mill worker as Millsy bites and trips one of the cowering ones. Meanwhile Marzela creates a small stone cave off in the corner, Finnrick manages to hit the garuda with another lightning bolt, and Carrakas lands a solid blow on the creature.

Many of the mill workers continue to cower next to the wall, including the now prone one next to the large cat who offers up no resistance to the creature's fearsome biting. The one non-cowering man next to Jaed drops his bow, draws two daggers and swings at Jaed but the rogue merely ducks the blow. Then somehow, despite the cluttered terrain of the loom, he manages to step away from the rogue while keeping his guard up. 5ft step away thanks to nimble moves

Dagger vs Jaed AC 22: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Up in the rafters, the garuda squawks and once again moves further away from the tiefling (provoking an AoO). Then, seeing it's initial target annoying hidden, it fires at the lightning-wielder instead.

Bow vs Finnrick AC 20: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 1 - 3 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 6 + (1) = 12 Last d6 is electricity

The warrior in the rafters with a bow then fires at Carrakas, managing to land two shots that don't seem to do any real damage.
To Hit 1 vs Carrakas AC 22: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
Damage 1: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
To Hit 2 vs Carrakas AC 22: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
Damage 2: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

His companion, not having a clear shot at the tiefling and seeing the ineffectiveness of his companion, drops the dagger he had drawn in favor of following the garuda's lead and firing at the druid, managing to land one arrow.
To Hit 1 vs Finnrick AC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
To Hit 2 vs Finnrick AC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
Damage 2: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The bow-less one decides he's tired of chasing after the disappearing man and instead pulls out a potion and drinks it.

Round 5
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 6
- Marzela, Jaed
- Enemies

Party is up. Finnrick has another DC 14 Fort save or he takes another 1 Con damage and Wis damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1. Carrakas has an AoO

Growling in frustration as the garuda flies away again, Carrakas resolves himself to dealing with some intermediary threats. He gathers power and blade rushes the nearest rafter bandit.

Pushing Blade Rush, targeting the green bandit
Attack, Blade Rush, PA: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 - 2 = 30
Damage, bludgeoning, PA: 4d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 6) + 9 + 4 = 27
Bull rush: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

The constant moving away of the worker annoys Jaed but he is happy when he realizes his target is now against the wall. "There's nowhere to run anymore," he says smiling as he gets closer and attacks.

Flame sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (5) = 12 The last 1d6 is fire damage.

Oh, sorry... I thought I needed to save everytime I got hit.

As for the stone shape, I thought it would be a little thicker than that. 18 cubic feet is like an 18x18 solid cube of stone, not just an 18x18 wall, right? I realize my structure is wider and taller than that, but is mostly hollow in the middle, so it seemed like plenty of rock to do the job without worrying about cracks.

Carrakas, don't forget your AOO. That Garuda is a beast... we need all the hits on him we can get.

Marzela sighs with relief that she isn't dead, and then heals herself.

Cure Serious: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) + 8 = 16

She hears someone casting a spell on the other side of the doors, but chooses not to investigate further at this time, not wanting to get more people involved in the battle, since they might not be able to handle what they have already.

Thanks for the reminder! Unfortunately, blade rushing about the place precludes me from using Kinetic Whip, so I can only AOO with my shield. Still, every little bit does help!

Carrakas, seeing his prey escape again, tries to slam his shield into the bird's backside.

Shield bash AOO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Oh, sorry... I thought I needed to save everytime I got hit.

Only the first volley of arrows from the people on the ground was poisoned. All the saves have been vs that initial dose.

As for the stone shape, I thought it would be a little thicker than that. 18 cubic feet is like an 18x18 solid cube of stone, not just an 18x18 wall, right? I realize my structure is wider and taller than that, but is mostly hollow in the middle, so it seemed like plenty of rock to do the job without worrying about cracks.

18 cubic feet is an 18 x 1 x 1 wall or a cube about 2.8 feet on each side. Even just an 18 x 18 x 1 wall is already 324 cubic feet.

Yeah, that makes sense. Probably should have made it smaller and lower then, but I suppose it is what it is.

As the garuda flies back once more, Carrakas swings his shield at the fleeing creature but misses. Frustrated, he then charges at one of the other men in the rafters, who grunts in pain as he's slammed into and almost killed. As if that weren't bad enough, the tiefling then shoves the man off his perch, but he just barely manages to catch himself before he falls.

Reflex DC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20

Meanwhile on the ground floor, Jaed finally manages to catch up to the non-fleeing cultist and lands a solid blow with his flaming sword. Marzela heals herself as Finnrick (bot) finally overcomes the poison and attempts to bring down another lightning bolt against the garuda. Pleased at the effect but starting to hurt, he then moves inside the little cave Marzela had made to take cover from the archers.

Finnrick: -4 Wis, -2 Con, HP 26/42
Finnrick Fort DC 14: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 1 = 18
SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Electricity: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) = 8
Garuda Reflex DC 19: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17

Millsy meanwhile decides the cowering, wimpering human is not worthy of her attention and instead rushes over to where Jaed, her old buddy, is fighting someone actually interesting. Double move for her.
Ongoing acid on green: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The non-cowering mill worker responds to Jaed's strike with two of his own before shifting his position away from the large cat who just rushed over next to him.

Dagger 1 vs Jaed, AC 22: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Dagger 2 vs Jaed, AC 22: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Up in the rafters, the garuda curses as now the lightning wielder moves out of sight in addition to the other spellcaster. Not seeing any real threat to himself from the other people on the ground, he instead focuses his attention of the tiefling in the rafters and focuses all his archery prowess on the warrior. Luckily, the garuda's desire to act quickly combined with Carrakas' mighty defenses makes the heavy onslaught significantly less deadly than it might otherwise have been.

Carrakas AC 22
Attack 1: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 18
Rapid shot: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 18
Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 35
Attack 2: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 29
Attack 3: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 16
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 27
Fortification, low cancels crit: 1d100 ⇒ 15

Damage on Carrakas. Last d6 is electricity
Haste damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 6 + (2) = 13
Attack 2 damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 + (5) = 17

The other archers in the rafters, seeing the far more skilled archer do relatively little with his impressive display, decide to focus instead on the hopefully easier target Jaed as the dangling man continues to dangle from his perch, making no move to pull himself up just yet.

Jaed AC 22
Attack 1 Blue: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26
Attack 2 Blue: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26
Attack 1 Green: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 = 29
Attack 2 Green: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14
Attack 1 Green, confirm crit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15

Damage on Jaed
Damage 1 Blue: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Damage 2 Blue: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage 1 Green: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Summary:
- Carrakas: 11 piercing, 2 electricity, 12 piercing, 5 electricity, DR and such to be applied
- Jaed: 23 damage
- Green man in rafters currently dangling from the ledge
- Finnrick saved vs his poison and took cover

Round 6
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 6
- Marzela, Jaed
- Enemies

Party is up.

Finnrick is standing where Lily was. I just want to keep track, because I can use my supernatural power on her up to a minute (10 rounds) after she died, which was round 2.

Marzela says in a low voice to Finnrick There are more bad guys coming from back there. I'll try to stop them, but be aware. and nods towards the double doors.

Marzela is somewhat overwhelmed, and quite worried. There is a lot of healing to be done, one of her party members is down, who she wants to try to help, and she also wanted to help in the battle more, but this immediate threat has to be dealt with first. She reluctantly uses the divine power that she was going to use on another well-timed Holy Smite and casts Wall of Bones instead. She hopes everyone else isn't getting killed as she tries to stop another group from coming to join their adversaries.

Anyone observing (Finnrick) sees a wall come into existence with skeletal hands reaching out from it at every point. It doesn't make you want to get too close.

Red rectangle is where Wall of Bones is. It is a 2-inch thick vertical wall, 5 feet deep into the room in front of the western doors. It is 10 feet wide at that point and 5 feet wide as it turns the corner to the south (it doesn't exist on the north and west, but is attached to those walls and the floor for solidity. It is about 13 feet high. (I had 8 five foot squares, so it is 10 feet high on all sides with 6 of the squares, and then the rest are used to fill in the space between that and the top of the cave as much as possible.)

The wall grapples anyone adjacent to it (CMB 8, CMD 18), and does 1d6 damage to anyone it successfully grapples, and the damage continues each round the grapple continues. Text of spell HERE. Rules for breaking the wall are also on that spell page. The wall lasts for 8 minutes. That's also my last 4th level spell.

Carrakas grunts a little bit as the two arrows find purchase, but largely shrugs off the damage. Taking a total of 11 damage by my calculations, after DR6 and Electricity Resistance 5. He then just grins at the Garuda, before gathering power and blade rushing to the north side of the still-standing remaining opponent near him.

Pushing Blade Rush, targeting the blue bandit
Attack, Blade Rush, PA: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 2 - 2 = 31
Damage, bludgeoning, PA: 4d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 3) + 9 + 4 = 29
Bull rush: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

-2 to AC still

Jaed does not seem to feel the dagger cut but the three arrows make him groan. "I will get up there in a moment. Just let me finish some business down here first."

Let's see if I don't mess up the first full attack with the new BAB. If I'm not mistaken I get three attacks with +11/+11/+6

Flaming sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
damge: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (2) = 13 Last 1d6 is fire damage

Frost sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damge: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (6) = 17 Last 1d6 is cold damage

Flaming sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damge: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (1) = 11 Last 1d6 is fire damage

Confirm crit:
Flaming sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Finnrick begins to cast a spell and Millsy moves to attack the final combatant on the ground.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + (2) = 17
Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Is there a way for Millsy to get up into the rafters?

@Finnrick: There are no stairs or ladders or other obvious conventions means of getting up there in this room if that's what you're asking.

As soon as Carrakas moves away from the green man in the rafters, he pulls himself back up. He reaches a hand towards the blue archer and starts to say something to him when Carrakas appears on the other side of the archer and strikes him dead. The man's lifeless body plummets from the rafters and lands with a thump on the ground below.

Down below, Marzela creates a wall of bones, Finnrick starts casting a spell, and Jaed finishes off the one non-cowering enemy with his blades. If she really wants, Millsy can redirect her action, but all enemies on the ground are still cowering in fear next to the wall.

Meanwhile, the garuda, seeing Carrakas edging closer once more, uses his extra speed to move once again. When he lands, he casts a spell on himself before harshly yelling something in Vudrani.

The last bowman in the rafters determinedly continues firing at Jaed while his very hurt companion takes up a defensive position with his daggers.
Bow vs Jaed AC 22: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Bow vs Jaed AC 22: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17

Round 7
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 8
- Marzela, Jaed
- Enemies

@Finnrick: How far can Millsy jump? There does happen to be a new bizarre stone cave just under the rafters in the northwest corner, which is somewhat like a giant ramp from north to south as it arches down to the floor, and which she could probably climb to the top of easily, knowing cats, and then jump the couple extra feet to the rafters (?).

Marzela moves to the doorway while taking a potion from her bandolier. She shouts out to her companions Kill them quickly. We're about to get more guests, and can't afford to be surrounded.

She then looks down at Lily, knowing that there isn't much time left and she needs to get out there and start healing other people as well, so she sighs, pressing a potion into her hand as she touches her gently, granting her what life she can.

Using supernatural power Gift of Life, explained HERE. Essentially, Lily comes back to life with 4 hit points. She is fully alive and can be healed, take any normal actions, etc., but will only remain alive for 8 rounds.

Marzela quickly explains the limitations of her brief restoration to Lily, in case she wants to try to run to a local temple, and tells her that the potion in her hand is one of invisibility. She will channel soon, but Lily's best defense might be if no one can see her while she makes her escape.

Not sure how you want to handle Finnrick standing in the same space as Lily now, so didn't mention it in text.

"Your wish is my command," Jaed shouts back almost ignoring the arrow that hit him. The rogue moves and attacks the worker (blue) in front of him.

Flaming sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (2) = 11 Last 1d6 is fire damage

Just in case things get more complicated, how difficult would it be to start a fire inside the mill using the flaming sword? I'm thinking about creating a distraction in case we have to run.

Carrakas sighs in frustration as the garuda flies away *again*. "This game grows old..." he mutters to himself. Then he glances down at Marzela's cave and processes her cried warning, shouting back "Working on it!" before once again gathering his earthen power to him and shooting across the rafters, taking a shot at the far bandit.

Pushing Blade Rush va Red
Attack, Blade Rush, PA: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 - 2 = 26
Damage, bludgeoning, PA: 4d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 1) + 9 + 4 = 24
Bull rush: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Lily gulps in a huge, ragged breath as she is suddenly brought back to temporary life. As Marzela tells her that she has only a few seconds in her, Lily chokes back any fear or hysteria that might overcome her, pulls the arrow out of her chest, and sits up to take in the situation.

Game-rules-wise, I'm remaining prone, which solves the Finnrick dilemma.

"If I'm only going to be here a minute... I'd best not let you all down!" she says intensely.

Caster level check vs. Spell Resistance, elf magic: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21

She looks up at the garuda that struck her town and speaks a black chant of malfeasance that seems completely out of keeping with her usual timid demeanor. It's almost as if the words themselves from a smoky miasma that leaves wisps of color and stain on her very lips and cheeks as the spell takes hold.

Casting boneshatter on the garuda. Fort save DC 22. If it saves, it takes half damage and is fatigued; otherwise, full damage and exhausted.

Boneshatter damage: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 4) = 29

@Jaed: You could probably get some wooden looms or silk to catch on fire, but I'm not sure how much of a distraction it would really cause. Google says silk is hard to light on fire, tends not to stay lit, and doesn't really produce any smoke, so you'd probably be relying on the wooden tools and boxes to start a fire, which are more likely to just burn up individually rather than spread to other parts of the room.

Carrakas dashes once more to hit the last archer, pushing him from his position. The man gives a yelp and groans weakly as he hits the floor.

Reflex DC 20: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
Falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

@Lily: I will ignore the fact that you wouldn't have line of sight to the garuda from your position due to Marzela's cave for this round, but keep both it and Marzela's wall in mind in the future.

Garuda Fort DC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Meanwhile on the ground, Marzela revives Lily temporarily. The elf responds by immediately casting a spell at the garuda, managing to exhaust and hurt him as many of his bones creak and shatter from the spell. On the other side of the warehouse, Jaed swings his sword at one of the cowering men, but just barely misses. Millsy (bot) gets distracted by the sudden thump of someone hitting the floor, runs over to investigate. Finnrick, not wanting to leave cover, quickly moves from where he's standing over Lily. Hearing the noises of more people from the other side of Marzela's wall, casts a healing spell.

If she thinks it would be helpful, I'll have Finnrick cast CMW on Lily. I'm aware that it won't make her not-dead, but if she might be targeted, it would prevent her from being dead-again sooner. If she doesn't want it, he'll just cast it on himself instead.
CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 = 13

Most likely a summon also appears, but since I have no idea what it is, it loses its actions this round.

The garuda, badly hurting from Lily's spell, dives off the rafters, out through the still open door, and out of sight from anyone inside the building.

The remaining mill workers on the floor continue to cower and the fallen archer stands up. While Millsy manages to get in a good bite, the archer just barely remains standing. He then drops his bow and pulls out his daggers.

Millsy AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + (1) = 12

The one man remaining in the rafters laughs in joy as the garuda escapes Carrakas' grasp, saying something incomprehensible to the tiefling.

Round 7
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 8
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily
- Enemies

Party is up

On the guy that got grappled and attacked anyway, the spell says "All other movement is prohibited unless the creature breaks the grapple first." ... But I guess that could be interpreted just to mean the -2 to attack like with a normal grapple, so I get it if you are ruling they can attack anyway. They can get grappled on this side as well, if they move 5 feet to engage us and are standing, so I hope it still delays them a bit. (Summary of breaking stats for future reference: Each square has hardness 4, 14 hit points, and DC 19 Strength check to break in one attack.)

Lily, nice shot! And, just FYI, the cave is outlined in green and the opening to the cave is the second block down, to the right. Don't go near the red rectangle... it is a wall of bones.

I think the Cure Moderate for Lily would be ideal. I am going to channel right now, which will help both of them, but she is in much more need of HP... at least to stay alive for the temporary period that she has.

Marzela channels (leaving out the bad guys to the west). The healing should only affect Marzela, Lily, and Finnrick.

Channeling: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 4, 2, 3) = 22

Lily should be up to 39 HP after that and the heal from Finnrick.

Interesting, I didn't know the silk was hard to set on fire. I assumed a mill full of looms would highly flamable. Thanks for the info!

Jaed is happy to see the garuda fly away and to celebrate he tries to finish the worker in front of him (blue).

Confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"How are you guys holding back there?"

Oh, I missed the part where it has 14 HP. So actually one side of the wall has 1 HP remaining and the other has 8 HP, meaning it's still intact and nobody can see the people on the other side. But yes, I'm going to say the "can't move" refers to moving away/through and doesn't stop the grappled person from attacking.

Carrakas growls in frustration as the garuda makes a hasty escape. His eyes narrow as the one remaining opponent laughs. "Yeah, not a good move." Without gathering any energy first, he rushes across the rafters, bringing the manifested hammer down on the mooks head, trying to knock him out.

Blade Rush dealing nonlethal damage va Green
Attack, Blade Rush, NL: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 - 4 = 31
Damage, bludgeoning, NL: 4d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 5) + 9 = 22

Then the tiefling will calmly step off the rafters, floating down to the ground.

Feather Fall!

Not clear if the Guarda has fully escaped and I apologize for missing my posts the other day[ooc]

Millsy pads back to the group in the cave. Next to Marzela appears a rapid wolverine it snarls at the aasimar but Finnrick points to the wall of bone and the wild animal prepares to attack if they break through.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

AC 12 HP 18/18

Last Round - Finnrick casts CMW on Lilly and steps away so that she can stand.

"I am so sorry but we will get you back, no matter the cost. If that is what you wish, but first we must all get through this" he says in a soft voice touching her shoulder and healing her Heal: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 6) + 8 = 18

He then prepares another lightning bolt for the next combatant he sees, or the guy Carrakas is fighting if he's not dead, though it seems he is.

Lightning: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) = 13[ooc]DC 19 Reflex for half

Lily takes Finnrick's hand in hers as he heals her, squeezes, and kisses his hand.

She scrambles to her feet and prepares for the foes to breach the cave wall to the west.

Ready action: BLACK TENTACLES, MO FOS

Once the jerks batter down the wall they get the black tentacles. Anyone grappled takes 1d6+4 damage.

Black tentacles grapple: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 5 = 29

EDIT: Someone is editing the map while I'm looking at it. Now it appears that one of the enemies got inside the cave and is adjacent to me, so I can't risk standing up or casting right now?

Ignore the movement. I was in the middle of composing my post. We ended up both having Lily do the same thing, but I'll take your results/roll over mine. Just ignore the now-irrelevant rolls in my post.

As Marzela creating another healing wave, Jaed successfully finishes off one of the cowering mill workers. Up in the rafters, Carrakas rushes towards the last man up there. The man, expecting the move, times his blow to when Carrakas lands, hoping to do at least some damage before his inevitable demise. However, he seems to be woozy from blood loss as the blow comes no where near. Carrakas then neatly knocks him unconscious, causing the man to fall from the rafters and land with another thump below.

Attack vs Carrakas AC 22: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The other man pushed off, looks confused as the large cat runs away from him, but nevertheless takes advantage of her retreat to swing at her with his dagger. The dagger lands a surprisingly strong blow even if in the relative scheme of things it doesn't hurt much.

AoO vs Millsy AC 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Lily stands and readies an action to cast a spell when she sees someone break the wall.

Ongoing acid: 1d4 ⇒ 1

After striking Millsy, the acid continues to burrow its way through the one standing man who fell, finally taking him out.

Replacement break grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Now it's your turn," the rogue says to the other worker next to him.

crit damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Carrakas eyes the door to Marzela's cave, crowded with people, and decides instead to take a peek to see if that birdman is still around. He blade rushes to just outside the open door, swinging needlessly at the open air next to him. He then looks around quickly.

Standard action to blade rush outside and attack the empty spot directly west of my position (or attack birdie-boy, if he through some miracle is still standing right outside the door...). Then I'll look around to see if birdy is nearby. Holding off on my move action until I see what's up outside.

Marzela backs out of the cave opening and casts Shield of Faith on herself, boosting her AC to 19 for 8 minutes.

I'm an idiot, I must not of read that last line correctly, I thought the man fighting Millsy dropped, but he actually dropped his daggers. Ok, well I guess Millsy moves back and bites him.

Unsure as to why she left a clearly dangerous man Millsy heads back and bites him.

Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (2) = 15

Finnrick looks at his hand that Lilly kissed and with a smile says thank you and holds it up to his mouth and blows. A dart flies at the man not entangled and hits him square in the neck.

Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1
DC 18 Fortitude or nauseated for 1 round

Lily reaches out at the man who broke through the wall and past her black tentacles. For a moment her hand appears skeletal, the flesh translucent, and then she clenches her fingers together.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Reach stricken heart. No save; he is staggered for 1 round and takes damage.

Stricken heart damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Carrakas moves back into the building, and into the opening to the makeshift cave. "Birdboy is still outside, about 80ft straight up from the door. Doubt we've seen the last of him."

Move action to move back in and done.

Moving Marzela slightly on the map because you can't step diagonally through a door.

Jaed continues to strike at the cowering man, but manages to only hit once and doesn't manage to kill him. The very confused Millsy attempt to return to the man who attacked her only to find him already dead from her ongoing acid damage. The wolverine attacks the man in front of him, but only manages to hit once.

@Finnrick: You need to actually specify what spell you're casting when you cast a spell. Also, nauseating dart requires an attack roll; you don't just automatically do damage.
Finnrick ranged attack roll, into melee: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 4 = 15

Finnrick fires a dart at the man, but misses. Lily fares better as her ghostly hand lands true.

Grapple damage from last round: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Grapple check: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 28

The two grappled people attempt to break free. One fails but the other succeeds and manages to get out of the area of black tentacles.

The staggered man attempts to punch Carrakas as he moves to take Marzela's place.
Attack, stunning fist, vs AC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 +DC 14 Fort save or fatigued

Suddenly, there's a loud crack as a bolt of lightning arcs through the air, hitting both Carrakas and Marzela, as a strange snake-like creature appears further into the room, her invisibility wearing off. It looks vaguely familiar to a creature you all fought long ago in the temple in the middle of the golden city.

DC14 Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
DC16 Ref Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

After resistances, 2 damage from the punch and 8 damage from the lightning bolt.

Carrakas starts to get annoyed when the little man in front of him manages to land a punch on him, but then gets angry when the lightning bolt comes flying in. Seeing the snake creature, his mind flashes back to his duel with the snake creature in the temple. His eyes narrow, he grins slightly, but also looks a little worried. We've really stepped into a nest here...

He reaches his hand back, and a lengthy electric whip forms in his hand. He quickly launches two different attacks at the foes in front of him.

Using kinetic whip electric blast as a full attack, targeting blue. If the first blow drops blue, the second attack should target green. Targets touch AC, and has to overcome spell resistance if they have any. It also stays for the round, for any potential AOOs.

Touch Attack 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage 1, electricity: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 4) + 2 = 21

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Marzela takes 8 damage because of electricity resistance.

Since it didn't look like Lily was going to try to run to a temple, Marzela steps to the wall and casts stone shape again, this time merging the walls around the door to block the doorway to the outside, still trying to manage the threat and avoid her whole party being killed.

Just a note to keep track: She has 2/5 third level spells left. (Stone shape is permanent, unlike the wall of bones, so she needs one left to clear the door later unless there is another exit.)

Did I screw up your plans Marzela? I'm sorry! I figured I only have a few seconds of life, I will use them to help my friends as best I can before I die again.

You didn't screw up my plans at all, promise. Marzela just thought you might run and try to find someone to bring you back more permanently, but this is a strange city, and that might not have been realistic anyway. She is happy that you stayed to help, but is worried that they won't be able to bring you back again (she can only do that trick once a day). As a player, I hope we find a way to bring you back, but you are making a definite difference in the battle, and I am loving it. :)

Carrakas kills one man and wounds the other as Marzela seals the building's front door. On the other side of the room, Jaed finally manages to kill the cowering man on the other side of the wall.

@Marzela: You just sealed the front door right? Or did you also seal the door to the other room?

@Jaed: You recognize the creature as an evil aberration known as a Dark Naga. They have no special weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

Also, I don't feel like trying to figure out how to bot two spellcasters, so I'll wait to see if Lily and Finnrick post their actions tomorrow.

Lily and Finnrick still have actions
