DM Rah's "Hall of the Flesh Eaters" (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

May the dice bots smile upon us all.... Hey! I have an idea for a new cleric!

Miakil falls, -2 hp. So much for a valiant holding action.. are there any saves that I need to do?

Sahba takes a 5' step (Puts the Festrog w/in 30'), and conjures a fire splash.
"No, not Mikail!"

Fire splash (as acid splash), ranged touch + PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22
fire damage+PBS: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Having done that, she draws her healing wand. (move action)

So, as I understand, both excavation scrolls were used (10').

Both scrolls were used.

Sahba's acid strikes one of the festrogs, taking its attention off Mikail bleeding at their feet.

The ghoul within the excavated chamber turns and leaps for Fauxish, but the monk is too quick for it, dodging and weaving away from its claws and teeth.

Bite on Fauxish: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Rajhan-Vol goes after Marduk, ripping her cheek with a claw. Pulling it back, the ghast licks the blood with a smile. "Tasty."

Bite on Maduk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw on Maduk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Claw on Maduk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
If hit, Fort save vs DC 15 or become paralyzed for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 rounds.

INITIATIVE - Round 1
Fauxish ⇒Up
Marduk ⇒Up
Faerin ⇒Up
Mikail ⇒Up
Nectanebo ⇒Up
Festrogs
Sahba
Ghoul
Rajhan-Vol

Con save: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17
The gods are not quite ready for Mikail.. he stabilizes himself. Although unconscious, he is not quite ready to let go of his mortal coil.

CMB (before the ghoul can strike, using redirection, she trips it.): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

On her turn she pummels the prone beast (assuming it is).
flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 4 = 26 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

shortbow vs nearer festrog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

My skeleton moves in AFTER that (doing a bit of a chess knight thing to avoid attacks of opportunity).

claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

What a buncha crap.

Marduk, my last line was a request for you to take a 5-foot step upwards - I've potentially got a fun surprise for Cap'n Crunch over there. ;)

Taking a deep breath and raisng her shield, she raises its edge to just where she can line her swing to its foul head.

Praying to Torag to guide her swing this time.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Marduk stands frozen, paralyzed.

Sorry Nectanebo...

Multi-bummer. Maybe if Faerin took a 5-foot step back instead, trying to draw him with her? She technically still can, DM permitting....

Will do.

Fauxish trips the ghoul and promptly delivers two blows to it.

Marduk freezes up from the Rajhan-Vol's horrible touch, but before the ghast can finish her off Faerin smashes his undead skull in.

Mikail stabilizes.

Nectanebo's arrow nicks one of the festrogs. His skeletal minion enters into an undead death match, but is quickly torn apart.

Bite on Skeleton: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Claw on Skeleton: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw on Skeleton: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The other festrog charges at Sahba, biting into her leg!

Bite on Sahba: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Sahba is up!

Uh, no, Sahba is down. .. or at least, at 0, which is nearly the same thing.

Sahba takes a step back, and uses the wand she'd intended for Mikail on herself.
Fast healing 1 for 10 rounds. (starts next round?)

The ghoul flails on the ground, grabbing Fauxish's leg and biting it!

Bite on Fauxish: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Fort save vs DC 13 or paralyzed for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 rounds.
And a Fort save vs disease (mystery DC)

INITIATIVE - Round 2
Fauxish ⇒Up
Marduk ⇒paralyzed 2/6 rounds
Faerin ⇒Up
Mikail ⇒Up -3hp
Nectanebo ⇒Up
Festrogs
Sahba at 0hp - fast healing 1/10 rounds
Ghoul

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
And Fauxish returns the favor with interest.
flurry of blows: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
flurry of blows: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 4 = 24 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Fauxish kicks the ghoul again, but does not yet defeat it.

Faerin and Nectanebo are up!

"Like I keep trying to say," Nectanebo reminds Sabha as one of the festrogs closes in on them, "try to keep your distance from these things, and use bludgeons if you can't!"

shortbow vs closer festrog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Mikail is just laying about on the job, taking a bit of a nap. BTW, he does have a wand of CLW hanging on his pack, should someone get a moment.. lol

Nectanebo's arrow lodges deep in the festrog attacking Sahba, but having just fed on flesh, the undead beast seems invigorated and does not fall.

Faerin is up!

Faerin seeing one foe down, heads towards the closest threat. Her hammer loose and ready.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Walking up and swinging her hammer to catch its attention.

Faerin engages the festrog trying to eat Sahba and swings her hammer, but the creature leaps aside and avoids it.

The festrog turns it attention to the new threat.

Bite on Faerin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Claw on Faerin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw on Faerin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The other leaps over Mikail and bounds around the columns to bite at Nectanebo.

Bite on Nectanebo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sahba is up!

Healing 1/10 == 1hp

Sahba recognizes that there is no clear path to Mikail, so she figures her best option is to help clear undead. She conjures fire at the undead fighting with Nectanebo.

Fire splash (as acid splash), ranged touch + PBS-melee: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 11
fire damage+PBS: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Then, mindful of her frail state, backs around the conflict, hoping to be able to cross the room soon.

The festrog sizzles from Sahba's acidic magic.

Meanwhile, the ghoul fighting Fauxish scrambles to it's feet and tries to bite at him again. Fauxish gets an AoO before this attack resolves.

Bite on Fauxish: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

INITIATIVE - Round 3
Fauxish ⇒Up
Marduk ⇒paralyzed 3/6 rounds
Faerin ⇒Up
Mikail ⇒Up -3hp
Nectanebo ⇒Up
Festrogs
Sahba at 1hp - fast healing 2/10 rounds
Ghoul

Mikail is dreaming of the tropics and gentle waves splashing against furry toes. Warm breezes and drinks with little umbrellas are his only concern at the moment.

The festrog scores a deep, hideous bite on Nectanebo's lower torso, and Nectanebo screams and passes out from the agony and shock.

stabilization check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

I am now 6 hit points away from death.

Marduk drools a little bit. There's a wand of Cure Light Wounds in her pocket.

Okay... is "sizzles" "damaged" or "dead"? (Either way, it's still fire magic...) If (a) my fire blast killed the Festrog, AND (b) Nectanebo is down, can I restate my move action to be next to him?

AoO (vs prone): 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 4 = 17 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Fauxish is edges toward the door 5 feet and let's fly.
flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Fauxish cracks the ghoul's neck as it tries to stand. It falls in mid-swing and shakes on the ground for a second before going still.

@Fauxish: Your AoO took the ghoul out. You still have your full actions left for this round, but by the look of that nat 1, any attack is doomed to fail.

@Sahba: The festrog is still up. If a creature is defeated I usually make it pretty clear, and try to remove it from the map.

Faerin takes on both the bite and claws, trusting in her her armor to hold those at bay before timing her swing to catch it once it backs up.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Now mindful that the faster she clears them, the sooner her companions can get aid, she steels her resolve becoming akin to fired up forge, her hammer, simply an extension of her arm to pound dross away from steel.

Her hammer lifts and falls..........

With a near perfect swing another monster succumbs to Faerin's hammer.

Fauxish still has actions!

Fauxish still at work for four hours. ;)

But if you can slide her close to the last opponent she will take a full defensive stance.

@Fauxish: I can do that. And it's probably a good tactic.

Fauxish emerges from the side chamber to find his companions fighting for their lives. Stopping short of the last festrog, he assumes a defensive stance. The festrog leaps for him, but misses completely!

Bite on Fauxish: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Miss!

Party up! Or rather, those that are still up are up!

Sahba's healing: 2/10 rnds. Now at 2 hp
Sahba moves to Nectanebo's side, and touches him with her wand.

Fast healing 1 for ten rounds

Another foe down, Faerin swiftly makes her way to the remaining foul one and steps into place allowing her to flank it and her hammer swings............

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sahba moves to heal Nectanebo as Faerin steps in and cracks a few of the festrogs ribs. It snarls, but does not fall.

Fauxish is up!
Marduk paralyzed 4/6 rounds
Mikail -3hp stable
Nectanebo -2hp fast healing 1 kicking in next round

flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Fauxish's blows fail to take down the festrog. Unfortunately, she also leaves herself open for the creature to rip open her stomach with two swipes of its claws.

Bite on Fauxish: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw on Fauxish: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Two hits, looks like Fauxish is at -10 hp

INITIATIVE - Round 6
Sahba 2hp - fast healing 3/10 rounds ⇒Up!
Fauxish -10hp (stabilization check required)
Marduk paralyzed 5/6 rounds
Faerin ⇒Up
Mikail -3hp stabilized
Nectanebo -1hp fast healing 1/10 rounds
Festrog

Fast healing 3/10 => 3 hp!

EDIT: Fauxish, not Mikail (sorry, M!)

The fighting is nearing completion, but Sahba is worries about her fallen companions.
(No trained heal and negative Wisdom bonus means she's probably unlikely to know who is stabilized and who is not, so erring on the side of healing as quickly as possible. Mikail only delayed because there were baddies in the way.)

Sahba moves 30' and pokes the fallen Fauxish with her wand.

Fast healing 1 for 10 rounds.

hey I totally understand! Get the most people you can on their feet in the quickest manner possible!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Faerin sees yet another companion going down but strangely shows not a whit of expression as once more she swings her hammer the way a smith might do so as if pounding hot metal at the anvil.

Her hammer now an extension of her arm rises once more and comes down swiftly.........
Attack (Please hit) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Faerin's hammer smites down the last of the festrogs!

Combat Over! Whew!

Marduk breaks free from the paralyzing touch of the ghouls, and Sahba's infernal healing magic soon restores Nectanebo, though Fauxish and Mikhail still lay unconscious.

Looks like Fauxish will be at 0 after healing and Mikhail is stable at -3, though he does have a healing wand tucked into his belt.

Sahba, unable to use Makail's wand, touches the rogue with her own.

+10 hp, after a minute

... and wow, this is a rough adventure. 7 charges used so far.

Once the party is healed and rested, Sahba looks through the bodies of the slain undead (especially the "Captain"), investigates the recently excavated room, and reminds the party of the "throne room" as well.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Thank you Sahba. If I can repay the favor, I will!

Suddenly torn from his beautiful dreams of warm breezes and tropical waves, he peers up at Sahba from the floor.
"Well, thats a party pooper!" he says with a grin while climbing to his feet. "Well, lets see what we have here!"

Since the big baddies ended up charging, Mikail will search both this room and the throne room, taking 20 for 26

On her turn.
Constitution check: 1d20 - 10 ⇒ (11) - 10 = 1

You're fine, Fauxish - Sabha got to you. You're at precisely 0 now.

"Well," Nectanebo says as he adjusts his coat, "it has been a long time since I felt that much pain. All better now, though."

He looks through the excavated room.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

"Marduk not happy. No fight." says the woman, looking very sad. Still, she draws a wand from her pocket and taps herself with it. Then, she looks at the others. "Need healing too?"

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Faerin helps her companions up and when all are feeling more perky then before, resumes watch to allow her companions to search the cave.

"By Torag's beard! That was tough. I'll keep watch to allow all of you to search the cave."

Saying that she turns and uses her innate gfts to scan the area as well.
Detect Evil.
