Game Master Anon A Mouse

Will post tomorrow! Can't make a detailed post right now.

Finnrick attempts to cast a spell defensively.
DC 23 Concentration: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Missed the edit by 2 min
Failed that one pretty good, lost masters escape

Seeing a man nearing the person who summoned him Wilbert the wolverine passes around some allies at tries to claw at the man.

wolverine just west of Lilly, that may be in black tentical land...

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Meanwhile Millsy sniffs the air and catches a wiff of a cowering human. Not wanting to leave anyone behind them she tracks him down and tries to rip into his flesh with her teeth.

Attack Green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 10 + (3) = 19
Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Concentration: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Lily has more success in casting a spell, and her hand becomes limned with a cold blue glow, but she is unable to strike her attacker.

Cast chill touch but missed.

Just for fun...
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

So it looks like I'm dying again before I hit anything.

DM, yes, only the front door. The door on the west of the cave is still open. Still want the battle to move forward... just trying to make sure we don't have to fight two big bads at the same time.

@Finnrick: I think your stats for the wolverine are wrong. You wouldn't apply rage until this next upcoming round because it hasn't taken damage until it walks into the tentacles, meaning with augment summoning it's only a +6 to hit and a 1d6+4 damage. If I'm mistaken, let me know because that adjustment + grappled condition makes the wolverine miss.

The wolverine moves into the black tentacle area, immediately getting grappled and taking 9 damage. The damage from the tentacles distracts it long enough to miss the man. Finnrick then gets distracted by the creature's yelp of pain and loses concentration on the spell he's working on. Lily fares better but as the reaches out to touch the man, he simply sidesteps. Meanwhile Millsy spends her entire turn moving to the man in the corner, only to discover that he died of her acid damage earlier.

Black tentacle grapple: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Red break free: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

The tentacles constrict once again, dealing damage to both one of the men and the badger once more. The restrained man manages to break free and moves out of tentacle land. Probably provoking from Carrakas?

Meanwhile, the surrounded man lashes out at everybody around him.
Stunning Flurry vs Finnrick AC 20: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Stunning Flurry vs Lily AC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Sunning Flurry vs wolvering AC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Damage Lily: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 + DC 14 Fort save or fatigued

The naga then points at Carrakas, and 4 small beams of light shoot out and zap him.
I don't think Carrakas has anything that reduces force damage, so I'll just roll them all together. If I'm mistaken, it's just magic missile with each one dealing 1d4+1 damage.
Force: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 1) + 4 = 12

Round 10
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 11
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily
- Enemies

Party is up.

Indeed it does! I like the whip.
Carrakas sends his whip in at the opening the man gave when coming out of the tentacles.
AOO: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
AOO Damage: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 3) + 2 = 14

The tiefling grunts as the magic attacks land hard, but he ignores the snake for now, sending another barrage of whip strikes out instead. Electric whip full attack. First attack goes after red. Second attack goes after red, unless the first attack dropped him, in which case it should go after green.
Attack 1 vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage 1: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 3) + 2 = 20
Attack 2 vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage 2: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 5) + 2 = 20

Marzela peeks through the opening to the cave.

--If Red is dead, she walks in to stand beside Carrakas squeezing past him to the square to the north of him in order to avoid the tentacle things and then channels, leaving out the bad guys and the naga.

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3) = 17

Should heal all good guys besides Jaed and Millsy, since they aren't close enough.

Didn't move myself all the way because I wasn't sure, but I think Red is likely dead.

The man manages to dodge Carrakas' attack of opportunity, but falls at the warrior's next blow. His next attack manages to hit the other man, killing him as well. Marzela then heals the people near her.

Finnrick, Lily, and Jaed still have actions. Lily has a fort save or fatigued

Not seeing any other threats among the looms, Jaed moves closer to the rest of the group. Double move through difficult terrain.

"How are things going there, guys? Do you need reinforcements?"

I've just realized that I was so happy to be able to attempt a knowledge check that I did not notice that Jaed had no line of sight to the Naga. Good thing that no important information was revealed.

Fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"Oof!" Lily keeps lashing out with her glowing hand and keeps missing.

Rules a written you are totally right it's interesting that he rages on his next turn but it doesn't say what happened if he takes damage on his turn? Either way I was wrong and thank you for correcting me.

No longer threatened by the man Finnrick wildshapes into a diminutive bird and takes flight over Marzela.

Millsy gets closer to the group and the wild wolverine thrashers.

Seeing her minions fall, the naga fires off another spell at Carrakas before moving further into the next room.

Force damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 1) + 4 = 14

Round 11
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 12
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily
- Enemies

Party is up.

Seeing no immediate threat, Marzela explains to Carrakas (and Jaed if he is close enough to hear) what happened to Lily, and that she will be gone again soon, so they should say their goodbyes... for now, because certainly they will find a way to bring her back.

Then she asks Lily if she wants to dismiss the tentacles so they can chase the Naga, or if she should open the front door to let the Garuda back in... if it doesn't just come through a window or the balcony instead... Worried about this possibility, she steps back into the outer room just to check and see if it is back and hiding.

Perception: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45

Of course I get a 20 on a perception roll rather than an attack roll. :)

As a thrush can I fly over the tentacles? And what are the rounf blue things in the next room. Also I am starting from just North of Carrakas. I will install slides on this phone So I can edit from here.

Marzela doesn't see any signs of the garuda, though she does see some windows high up in this room that it could probably enter through, if it hasn't already.

As long as you don't land on the floor, yes, you can fly over the tentacles. Though also remember that if you want to hover, it's a DC 15 fly check and if you move less than half your speed, it's a DC 10 check to remain flying (not sure what your fly bonus is, so you can ignore if it's impossible for you to fail those DCs).

Jaed finally joins back the group and he is shocked when he hears Marzela's explanation. "She will be alright, won't she? Man, I hate cults. We will make them pay."

So, are we going after the Naga?

Hover: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Finnian begins to cast a spell

Thanks for the reminder on the Hover check, I'm summoning

Millsy, who's been confused throughout the fight follows Jaed.

Previous round's grapple check vs wolverine
Grapple: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 33
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Carrakas, Lily, and the almost dead and still grappled wolverine still have actions

Um the wolverine who is still raging and has proven to be vastly uneffective tries to break free.

Strength: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 +2 if it's a CMB check...
Does not matter

Carrakas growls at the retreating Naga, but is stopped from pursuing by the black tentacles. He then gets a look of concern, followed by a look of anger, as Marzela explains the situation.

"I'm gonna kill that damn bird... Lily, we'll find a way to save you, I swear it. Until then, stay away from any lights, and don't let 'em give you hell." He says this last with a sad little smile, trying to add a little levity to the situation.

I'm not going to post any actual actions at this time, because if Lily decides to dismiss the tentacles I'd like to give chase to the Naga this round. If she doesn't, then I won't do anything.

As requested, Lily dismisses her black tentacles.

Lily dismisses her black tentacles and Carrakas charges in, managing to close the distance to the naga. Large dye vats and reels of drying silk fill this new area. At the north end of the room, a large trough sits on a long charcoal bed. The place reeks with an acrid chemical odor.

The naga continues to back away further into the room and through open doors into the next one (provoking an AoO from Carrakas) before firing more magical blasts at the tiefling.

Ranged touch attack 1 vs AC 12: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Fire: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6, 1) = 13
Ranged touch attack 2 vs AC 12: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

As she retreats, she gives a yell.

Finnrick has not seen the Naga, but was the Guarda wearing armor that Finnrick could see? Metal or leather?

The garuda did not seem to be wearing armor.

Jaed follows Carrakas into the next room. When he passes by Lily's side he looks at her with a mix of sadness and rage. "Hold on, Lily. Everything will be ok. You'll be ok. Now we'll make sure these things cannot harm anyone else."

Double move action hoping Jaed does not get grappled by the wall of bone.

Carrakas grits his teeth against the pain of the various attacks, and resolves to continue the fight. He moves forward in front of Jaed, and then blade rushes into the next room past the Naga. Electricity flies all around him, and gathers into a lightning blade, which he thrusts into the Naga's side.

Electric Blade Rush vs Touch AC, subject to SR if he has any
Attack vs Touch AC, Blade Rush: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 = 22
Damage, electricity: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 5) + 2 = 17

Is there any way that Jaed and Carrakas can get 5' closer together?

I'm ok with retconning my blade rush to go to the west side of the Naga instead of the east, if the Pupper Master so wills it.

Fine with me.

Lily glances back at her dear friends and says, "I don't know how much time I have... we have to finish this."

She steps out of the bone cave through the aperture where she had previously placed the black tentacles, and casts another spell.

Jaed and Carrakas suddenly find themselves moving very, very fast...

Haste!

Jaed moves forward as Carrakas successfully dashes forward and lands a blow on the naga, who hisses at him. The third room is filled with wooden shelves stacked with trays of cocoons and cases of silkworms feeding on mulberry leaves. A skylight in the middle of the ceiling fills the room with dim ambient light.

Lily then buffs the two melee fighters.

Finnrick and Marzela still have actions and Carrakas still has his AoO.

Marzela moves close to Lily, and finding the light to be dim, she activates her Ioun Torch.

She tells Lily the exact timing if it matters in terms of using the boon, if that would work in this case.

Right, thanks for the reminder, forgot about the AOO. Shield-only for that round, unfortunately.
AOO with Shield: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage, bludgeoning: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Everytime I try to do anything it messes up, sorry for this terrible post of tried 3 times now

A leopard appears behind Lilly and heads into the room. It has a climb speed, so If it can get on top of the shelf in front on it it will.

Millsy Runs into the room and takes a place behind Finnrick.

Finnrick flutters into the room and makes his way up into to ceiling.

Wolverine scurries in too.

All my characters double moved.

Carrakas successfully lands a blow with his shield as the naga moves backwards.

Cast Defensively DC 19: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

As the group continues to move forward, the naga gives a hissing laugh, making a few arcane gestures and then vanishing into thin air.

Naga Stealth: 1d20 + 20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 20 = 52

I'm leaving the naga on the map, so I can remember where she started off. That does not necessarily mean she is still there though.

Round 13
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 14
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily
- Enemies

Party is up.

"No you don't, you overgrown sorry excuse for a snake." Carrakas reaches out toward the ground and closes his eyes for just a second, muttering something under his breath.

Activating tremorsense as a move action, gives me tremorsense 30ft and I get to ignore miss chances when using Earth blasts. Will wait for my standard action until I know where he went.

Marzela casts See Invisibility on herself, and will call out the location of the naga as soon as she sees it, to help the party target.

This is my last post before leaving. I'd like to continue to help the party target the naga (and the garuda if it also goes invisible) as my free action (talking) each turn, as needed.

See Invisibility lasts 10 minutes per level, or in this case 80 minutes.

Carrakas doesn't sense the naga within 30 feet of him. Then Marzela casts See Invisibility and moves towards the entrance of the room. "She's by the door to the east!"

Immediately after Marzela calls the naga position Jaed moves next to her. Thanks to Lily's haste spell the rogue is able to move faster than ever which gives him time to try to hit the creature with his flaming sword. I think that apart from the naga benefiting from total concealment I roll normally.

Flaming sword: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (4) = 15 last 1d6 is fire damage

A reminder in case the naga retaliates. Because of the uncanny dodge ability Jaed does not lose his dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible.

Carrakas zips off across the room as well, stopping just short of where the Naga aught to be, and sends an earthen whip shooting off in that direction.

Using blade rush with kinetic whip, which costs 1 burn after Infusion Specialization - I'll pay for it out of my Internal Buffer, so it doesn't actually hurt me. Since tremorsense is constantly up for the round, and not a one-time thing, I'm assuming I'll be able to ignore any miss chance from him being invisible as he will now be in range of my tremorsense.
Attack, Blade Rush, Haste, PA: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29
Damage, PA: 4d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 5) + 9 + 4 = 28

Note that even though I am using Kinetic Whip with my blade rush, it doesn't stick around for the whole round like a Kinetic Whip usually does, so I'm not actively threatening the Naga after my attack.

-2AC for the round

As soon as Marzela calls out, Lily turns and launches another quick gesture. A ball of glittery light explodes outward around the door.

Glitterdust! Don't care if it blinds her, really (DC 18); she's visible now.

Jaed miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 64
Naga Will DC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Both Jaed and Carrakas manage to hit the naga as Lily moves forward and lets off an explosion of glitter above the creature, outlining its shape. Meanwhile the menagerie of animals move forward to surround the snake-woman. They all double move

Hissing in displeasure at Lily's spell, the naga quickly opens the door, revealing what appears to be an outdoor garden. She yells in Vudrani once more before dashing outside. The naga provokes AoO from Jaed, the wolverine, and the leopard.

Round 14
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 15
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily
- Enemies

Party is up.

AoO: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (5) = 12 last 1d6 is fire damage as always

Jaed laughs at the sight of the naga covered in glitter. "You look prettier now."

The rogue then proceeds to follow her and prepares to attack again when the naga is surrounded by his allies. Readied action to attack when someone (probably one of the animals) move to the opposite site creating a flanking opportunity. If Carrakas moves first then the readied action is not needed and Jaed will just attack normally.

Flaming sword: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 30
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (2) = 9 last 1d6 is fire damage (again)
Sneak attack: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 6) = 19 if this hits, the naga becomes bewildered for one round: the target takes a -2 penalty to AC. The target takes an additional -2 penalty to AC against all attacks made by the rogue.

Carrakas grits his teeth then gives chase, moving through the doors and then blade rushing over to the opposite side of the Naga from Jaed.

Attack, Blade Rush, Flanking, Haste, PA: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 23
Damage, PA: 4d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 1) + 9 + 4 = 21

-2AC for the round

Jaed's blow at the fleeing creature misses as does Carrakas' following charge. Jaed's attack looks like it should have hit, but at the last moment it appears that the naga was not where she was a moment ago.

Lily and Finnrick + menagerie of animals still have actions (and technically Marzela, but I'm assuming I'll be botting her per her post in discussion)

Finnrick and his horde of animals enter the room. The wolverine burrows under the ground behind Carrakas while the two cats take up positions to strike.

Wolverine AOO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Leopard AOO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Bite: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

We all double moved

I'll forgo the Grab attempt if it hits, Also had I been on top of it I likely could have tried to ID where the naga was via scent

"I'm running... out of time!" Lily says as she rushes for the door.

Double move. Still can't get into line of sight.

As the circus comes in to town, the naga glances up and begins giving a hissing laugh. Following her gaze, you all look up to see none other than your old friend the garuda, flying roughly 185 feet up in the air. I've put the garuda on the map where he would be if he were on the ground.

The garuda aims his bow at the first person who exited the building: Jaed. He then rains down a volley of arrows.
vs Jaed, AC 22; the last d6 is electricity
Attack 1: 1d20 + 19 - 2 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 19 - 2 - 3 = 26
Manyshot damage 1: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 6 + (5) = 16
Manyshot damage 2: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 + (2) = 18
Attack 2: 1d20 + 14 - 2 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 2 - 3 = 22
Damage 2: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 6 + (3) = 18
Attack 3: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 - 3 = 6

Still laughing, but badly injured, the naga moves away slightly (5ft step) before attempting to cast another spell.
Cast defensively DC 21: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Lightning arcs from the naga at the now badly injured Jaed as well as the approaching Millsy behind.
Electricity: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 5, 1, 3, 4) = 20 DC 16 Reflex for half

Round 15
- Carraks, Finnrick
Round 16
- Marzela, Jaed, Lily[/b]
- Enemies

Party is up. Jaed and Millsy have reflex saves. The garuda is 185 feet above where it's positioned on the map.

Carrakas glances up at the Garuda, a slightly worried frown on his face, but mutters "Deal with you later, birdy..." before refocusing on the Naga. Looking quickly at the very injured Jaed, he nods his head at Marzela and says "Get patched up, me'n the animals will take care of this one." He steps around to the other side of the Naga, and forms a whip of pure electricity in his right hand. Guided by the speed of Lily's spell, his hand blurs and he sends out three quick hits.

5-foot-step and full attack with kinetic whip
Attack 1 vs Touch AC, Haste: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 1 = 22
