DM Wellards Hook Mountain Massacre

Game Master Wellard

What's "T" on the map?".

The Tentacle

Esteriande quaffs a potion before backing up a step to 16.18 and sweeping out Shellyn's grace to her allies.

Channel healing: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 5, 1) = 18 Will effect Muchorak, Marak, Naria, and Ursas as well as Esteriande herself.

Drinks potion of see invisible. Where is Xanethra?

Inikai howls in pain as the fire washes over him but he remains composed enough to realize that his wounds do not threaten his life. Trailing smoke as he sprints, he closes toward the enemies. Move to 09.15 With a thrust of his arm he focuses on the giant in combat with Lunas and aims his hand over the wolf and at the face of the gargantuan.

Bolts of Madness: The binder can fire a ray that dazes an opponent for 1d3 rounds. The binder must succeed on a ranged touch attack with a range of 100 feet + 10 feet per binder level. A successful Will save negates the effect. Once the binder has used this ability, he cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Ranged Touch
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

If it were possible to crit with this I would still surely botch the confirmation roll

Will save to resist: DC 20

Wellard

Naria casts greater Invisability on herself and puts some distance between herself and the others (Move to 09,18}

Flowing to Dire Wolf form, Ali dashes behind her the giant and she and her den brother attack in concert, their many years of long practice allowing them to attack almost as one. Giant blood flies as the two wolves rip and tear at the much larger creature.

Man, I have been getting the Worst dice lately, all over Paizo!

yeah Ali those were really bad rolls so bad in fact that...

The Stone Giant goes down bleeding badly but not before managing to deliver a blow to Ali as she closes.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24Miss..BTW Ali is AC26 with the Haste

Esteriande

Giant will save..1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Dazed for 1d3 ⇒ 3 rounds and prone..wonderful

To clarify Mucho took 88 or 44 points of damage? Is shield other still up from Marak which then would transfer it to 44 or 22 points of damage before receiving the 18 HP's from Est healing?

Howling in rage from the damage the ranger unleashes his fury on the serpent demon..

Full Attack
Bite 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 hit; dmg 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Total damage on Muchorak 44 reduced to 22 but then Marak takes another 22 (thanks for the reminder) and then heals 18

Muchorak hits The Lamia three times for a total of 59 damage this round.Ursus misses her

Damage on Lucretia now 98

Romon moves forward as he draws another arrow and fits it to his bowstring.

Move to 09.13

+1 Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 = 30 ... damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Should have been +1, not +2 for haste on the last post

Damage on Lucretia 102

So, who's up? I really do wish we'd all adopt the system I use when posting, or something similar. It's a great idea that someone came up with and it's used in a few of the games I'm in. Makes it Much easier to avoid confusion, mistakes and delays. And really doesn't take that much longer to post at all, especially if you save a battle template somewhere and just copy, paste and adjust as necessary

The Stone Giant can do nothing but try and fend off the wolves.

The seated Giant gestures at Muchorak....

Muchorak Fort. Save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

...whose vision blurs for an instant but he fights off the spells effect.

Lucretia backs away from the deadly blades and casts a spell..

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Suddenly there are 6 of her interweaving with each other.

Esteriande

Round 3

Naria 20+
Marak 20
Xanesha 19
Romon 18
Enthroned Giant 10
Lucretia 7
Guard 5

Everyone but Romon is up

Naria from Invisability summons a wall of fire encircling the seated giant with the heat focused in towards him.

Inikai dashes forward under the effects of Naria's spell until he is almost directly facing Lucretia's Lamia Sextet*. 15.10 Stopping suddenly, he looks to ensure that Muchorak will not be endangered and then purses his lips and blows a kiss to the multitudinous enemy. But a horrid cloud of green gas bursts forward from his lips after the sound of the kiss and envelopes the slithering images.

Breath Weapon

The cone might even catch the seated giant, if I figured correctly, but Muchorak is in an unaffected square.

*This would be a pretty good name for a band.

The 28 Trip didn't beat the giant's CMD Wellard? Or did Inikai daze him? Or was was your line on him just summing all that up?

As the Giant is still active though dazed I thought it perfectly obvious that he has gone down due to a trip.

Ok

Round 3

The ranger and his companion press the attack on the snake demon…

If Ali should kill the giant before Lunas attacks, Lunas will turn his attack on the next closest foe, if possible

Ali and Lunas tear into the Stone Giant and finish him off..

Inikais gout off Poison his Lucrecia and her doubles.

Short Sword 1 1d5 ⇒ 3 Image goes

Longsword 2 Near Miss destroys an image

Short Sword 21d4 ⇒ 4 Image goes

Hasted Long Sword 1d3 ⇒ 1 Image goes

Four images vanish and a gout of blood tells the Ranger he has at least scored a hit. Only two versions of the snake woman remain both retching and coughing

Damage on Lucrecia 120

Then Ursus lashes out with tooth and claw

Bite 1d2 ⇒ 2 Image goes

Then his 1st claw attack and hasted bite bring the creature down

Esteriande?

Forgot to do the Giants saves vs the Gas.

Ref save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 1920 damage

Fort Save 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

A wall of fire springs up around the throne though no heat is felt by those outside it.

Heat damage (no save) 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Total Damage on Giant Chief 27

I have a map updated to this point but photo bucket is being a bastard and not accepting uploads

Map of current point in round.

Strange..I couldnt upload from my picture library but I could after dropping th pic in desktop and I had to move to flickr to get it to work at all

Esteriande advances toward Lucretia, but stops short of reaching her and hurls a counter-spell at Xanetia to render her visible again.

Dispel Magic caster-level check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

I doubt Xanesha will waste her attacks on Romon. If she does I'll change his actions.

Romon steps forward again while drilling arrows at the fire-ringed giant.

5' diagonal step toward giant/Xanesha

+1 Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15 ... damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Xanesha reappears..all 4 off her.

Apologies for the tiny map..Flickr wasnt cooperating either..
however I think I have it right now and you should find anenlargeable one here

Xanesha slithers forwards 5' and unleashes a furious series of blows on the nearest target who happens to be Inikai.

Spear

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

I believe the Enthroned Giant is up, yes?

One shot from Romon hits the giant who winces at the searing heat off the wall but summons enough concentration to fly up and away from the flames.

He is now 30' in the air outside the walls effect..remember this cave is open to the sky..

Can someone tell me if the map is working ok now?

Romon watches the giant take the arrow, the flame, and still rise into the sky. That's not good.

Nor is the map link. It leads me to a page that says you have nothing available to me.

By "Inikai" you mean "Naria", right?

Xanesha's sudden appearance startles Inikai and she drives her spear into his side but causes only a gazing wound. He retreats out of range of her follow-up attacks and curses her in Shoanti.

Meanwhile Lunas's powerful limbs send him crashing into the now revealed Xaneshas, his teeth ripping into her flesh.

Lunas
Hasted charge magic fang attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 2 = 31

Not sure if you can actually trip something that has no legs..checks rulebook..I was right you can't..otherwise that would have worked fine.

Ali's claws fail to connect and Lunas whilst he manages to tear a chunk out of Xanesha..is subjected to an attack from her spear as he closes.

AoO on Lunas 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Xanesha's assault forces Inikai back but only one of her spear-thrusts draws blood. Inikai curses her in Shoanti and moves out of her range. He lets out a piercing whistle that is answered by a flash of light in the air over the lamia. The sudden illumination reveals a form resembling an gleaming elf that has been turned inside out.

The elf-creature snarls and draws a scimitar as it moves to savage the lamia below him.

azata/bralani

I thought you only garnered an AoO when you left a threatened area, not when you entered it. Has that changed? And ya, I figured that about the trip, but decided to include it anyway, just in case.

Stupid question but: So Xanesha is visible and in the spot that marks her as invisible? and the Giant is 30 ft up in the air?

Ali...My bad..I thought charges activated but it's only bull rush and as he couldn't attempt a trip that wouldnt have done it either..ignore the damage

Muchorak..updated map coming

and here it is

Round 4

Esteriande, Muchorak, Naria, and Marak are up. I'm betting Romon finishes Xanesha. Wellard, what are we doing about Marak? Does he just disappear? Or do we run him until he can make a graceful exit?

meant to post this for last round.

Marak turns his gods wrath on Xanesha and the Lamia is engulfed ina brilliant burst of celestial light

Xanesha Will save 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Holy Smite 5d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 1, 5) = 13 halved to 7

Damage on Xanesha 20

No worries at all. Did either of Ali's or Inikai's attacks hit?

Naria attempts to lightning bolt the flying giant

10d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1, 5, 1, 4, 2, 6, 5) = 31 Dc 20 reflex for half

Esteriande unlimbers her bow and sends a shocking burst arrow at the levitating stone giant.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 + 1d6 ⇒ 4 Electrical

"Nice job, hon!" Romon says cheerily, but he watches the second slither sister with worry. She's got reach, she's pissed, and she's too far away for him to get between her and Randi.

"Hey Neesha! Did you like the feathered pins I gave your sister?"

Ali..I already said you failed to connect..and no the summoned Bralani failed to hit as well

Romon..as most of the party is already between her and Esteriande I don't think you have to worry.

Muchorak to post then I'll resolve the upper echlons of initiative.

Round 4
HP 109/105

Muchorak moves to 17.08 and strikes out at the snake woman…

+1 Adamantite Longsword 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27 hit; 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 dmg (17-20)

Ursus

Ursus moves to 14.08 flanking the monster…

Attack
Bite 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24 hit; dmg 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

I just checked and Xanesha had one image left..near misses by 5 take one away so the Bralani got 2, Lunas hits the real thing

Muchorak 1d2 ⇒ 2

Muchoraks blow merely serves to remove the last duplicate image of the Lamia and Uras's teeth clash mere inches from her

Giant save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

The Giant barely moves enough to mitigate the effects of Naria's lightning bolt..which however moves him into the path of Esteriandes arrow.

Shocking burst only occurs on a critical hit

Damage on the Giant 48

Damage on Xanesha 13

Marak Channels the power of Nethys to heall those nearby.

5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 5, 3) = 20
