DM Zyren's Heart of Runes (Inactive)

Game Master Zyrenity

I thought I had already posted Marek's round 2 actions. On the surprise round he cast greater magic weapon, and he already made 2 full-attack actions. The first one is here and the second one is here.

Sry, didn't realize that you had.

The ogre stumbles as the whip closes around his ankle and with a loud "thump" falls on his back.

RD2:

Harry (X)
Ailetha (X)
Celestra (X)
Alana (X)
Marek (X)
Karlan
Ogres

Then we are waiting for Karlan :)

Presing forward blades swinging KArlan looks to cut down the apparent leader rapidly.

5ft shift to L-M, 11-12

Full Attack:

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 18 Sword Attack 1.
1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 25 Shield Bash
1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 21 Hasted Sword
1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10

1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 16 Final Attack Sword
1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13

Wow those rolls. :/ It's like the dice roller knows I put keen on my scimitar and just flat out decided never to roll above ten.

The ogre grunts as Karlan's blade connects but then a grin splits the ugly face

Toothpick warrior, hah!

Harry turns his attentions on the leader to draw the fellow off Celestra.

Harry
Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 + 3 = 33
Damage 3d6 + 3d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (6, 1, 1) + (2, 4, 6) + 16 + 2 = 38

Haste Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 3 = 35
Damage 3d6 + 3d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + (3, 3, 6) + 16 + 2 = 37

Critical? 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 + 3 = 31
ADD Damage 6d6 + 32 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 4, 6, 6) + 32 + 4 = 58

133 damage? Surely he died.

Thumper keeps attacking the injured one adjacent.

Thumper
Melee bite 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 4 + 3 = 21
Trip? 1d20 + 7 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 3 + 4 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 = 15

Marek should have dropped on the third ogre attack at -1. At this point if the second ogre follows up with its second attack on him he should be dead meat.

You have 50% to evade since the ogre's are blinded.

So I'll just roll the percentile chance for the last 2 hits (assuming Marek will evade in 01-50%): 1d100 ⇒ 57 1d100 ⇒ 52.

Round 3

"I don't think my rapier is sharp enough to do much against these brutes! I'm going to have to help in some other way!"

Celestra lets her floating Spiritual Weapon do the attacking as she withdraws from battle and moves with haste to position herself directly behind Karlan (M13).

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 (+5 BAB, +5 Wis)
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"So long, Creepo! I'm outta here!"

Celestra, you can always do an Aid Another attack to give someone else a +2 on attacks. I think that Aid Another is vs. a DC10.

Hoping to help her companions, Ailetha moves south and then cases a spell causing the ground to become very slippery beneath the ogre fighting Karlan.

Move to N9.

Case Grease on ground beneath ogre fighting Karlan - DC16 Reflex or fall prone.

Why on earth would she aid another when she has Touch of Good? :)

Forgot she has that. Definitely Touch of Good Harry and watch him tear through these guys.

If Marek has fallen, would Alana's Lightning Bolt attack if cast, pass over his body or would it still count as dealing damage to him since he occupies that square? Also, where does Harry's displaced image appear map wise?

Forgot she has that. Definitely Touch of Good Harry and watch him tear through these guys.

Cause she was going to hit up Karlan since he's got more attacks to benefit from it. That and it seems harry doesnt need it since his dice actually like him.

Its Happy Harry on that last set of dice, will be shocked if that leader isn't dead after that much damage. That said, Harry is two hits off deep trouble as he's down a chunk of hp and the party is getting pretty beat up, so touches or a spot of healing would be far better than aid another :)

Well by now you're almsot unhittable wiht not one but two 50% miss chances going for ya. As for me they still have to beat my AC to get to me, then face the blindness. Sadly marek found himself on the wrong end of an ogre/tiefling 4 way.

Guess that leaves me. For the record blind ogres don't threaten I think. Might be wrong

As the leader gets hacked to pieces by Harry KArlan merely shrugs off the comment and continues whirling blade adn shield inot a deadly dance.

If leader is still up these are directed at him. If not then at the otehr guy in front of me.

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 30

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 5 = 24
1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 17

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 33 Crit confirm.
1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 15 Crit Damage.

I'm just trying to wait for answers to my questions before taking my turn.

Yes, but Zyren may say differently. And displacement doesn't work that way. The spell just messes with HArrys image so it appears slightly where he isn't confusing the enemy so they're attacking nothing half the time.

I see, I guess that makes sense. The description says "The subject of this spell appears to be about 2 feet away from its true location." I was thinking that two feet wasn't really much help, but I think I get what you mean. As for the lightening, that was more of an either or question, does it go past him if he's prone, or does it still hit him? Either way, suppose I should wait to see what ZZ says.

Lightning doesn't hurt prone targets...or better doesn't hit prone targets^^

In mere moments two ogres go down under your blades and those remaining seem to be disheartened by the cries of their fellows.

Evade - 1d100 ⇒ 721d100 ⇒ 45
Harry on 28 hp, Thumper on 5.

can't understand how the leader is still alive :(

Thumper breaks off on Harrys command, straight into the bushes (Withdraw)

He's not, I just removed the wrong token - so the displayed one is a normal ogre

LOL ok. Was killing my morale :p

Round 4

Celestra's divinely summon Spiritual Weapon continues its attack on the ogre at I10.

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 (+5 BAB, +5 Wis)
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Meanwhile, she quick lays hands upon Kalan and delivers a Touch of Good upon her companion.

+4 Sacred Bonus on on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for one round. (Correct me if I am wrong, but I rounded 3.5 up to 4)

"Take down that ogre, Karlan. We are counting on you!"

It's rounded down. Always. But +3 is still good. :)

Did the ogre attacking me make its Save vs. the Grease? Reflex DC16?

If it got the attacks in:

Evade: 1d100 ⇒ 95 <-- ouch

For the last round because I hadn't gone yet so think of it prior to the map shift if need be and adjust the map numbers accordingly:
Alana moves away from Harry (to G12) and releases a Lightening Bolt from her finger tips at the ogre in front of her (I10 which should also arc to M6 if I'm not mistaken hitting the other ogre down there).
Damage 7d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4) = 25

Rd 4
She moves once more (to J14) and releases another bolt at the same ogre (which should arc across to the one by Thumper as well).
Damage 7d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 6, 3, 1, 6) = 22

Sry Ailetha:

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

The ogre remeins on his feet and lands a well-timed blow.

Alana meanwhile blasts holes through two ogres - one larger, one smaller...

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

RD4:

Harry X
Ailetha
Celestra X

Marek
Karlan

Second Lightning:

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

less singed flesh than on the first one...

Battle Mat

Looks like we'll have to finish off that one we're flanking.

1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 33 Sword 1
1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 16

1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 24 Haste 1
1d8 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 14

1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 24 Shield 1
1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 12

1d20 + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 5 = 25 2nd Sword
1d8 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 16

Hoping to help Marek get free, Ailetha does a spectacular backflip, with two twists thrown in, to move away from the ogre near her, and then as soon as she lands, she launches the tip of her whip at the ogre catching it around the ankle and dropping it like a brick.

Move to N10:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 <-- to avoid AoO, I assume this easily makes it

Attack-trip-M6 with whip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 <-- assuming that a natural 20 will trip an ogre

Waiting for Marek - also taking a holiday break?

@Karlan: You may make the readjustments you asked for.

I'll do it after this fight. Since it means changing weapons as well and don't want to be too disruptive.

Going for my morning run, if its not adjusted when I get back I'll pole Marek along.

MAREK

With a grim determination, Marek decides to ensure one less combatant on the field, and so unleashes on the Ogre before him with precision and grace.

'Spell Combat', Attacking vs M7.

Attack 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 26 (Power Attack)
Damage 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 19

Haste attack
Attack 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 32 (Power Attack)
Damage 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 14

Casts shocking grasp (defensively)
Concentration check vs DC 17
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 = Pass

Delivers shocking grasp spellstrike.
Attack 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 35 (Power Attack)
Damage 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 19
Shocking Grasp Damage 5d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 2, 2) = 13

Wow, the end came quickly!

Marek, Karlan and Ailetha are able to bring two ogres down and as the last of the giantkin hears only his voice resounding in the forest, he lets his axe fall and whimpers

Not kill me! I helpy help you, I'm your servant!

Ailetha looks to the rest of the party and then to the ogre:

In Giant: Who are you? What tribe do you serve? How many of you are in the fort? And what more powerful leaders are there? Answer quickly because my big friend's axe really likes removing ogre heads from ogre bodies. She glances at Harry as she says this.

Also, how are the walls defended?

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 <-- could use some aid another on this one

Ailetha's dual colored eyes are almost glowing as she says this and her razor sharp adamantine rapier is pointed directly at the ogre's throat.

Harry remains silent, a sure sign the Ogre is soon to meet a grizzly end.

The cascade of questions seems to have confused the ogre and after a rather long pause he just answers the last question

Uh...many defenders, we strong!

Sorry to disappoint guys, but Marek is uncouncious and perhaps dead as I made clear at this post. I waited a bit on a reply to that but I didn't get a clear answer if he's alive or not.

Whoops.

I caught it, but as teh question was raised about your actions, I thought I must have just missed you coming back and played on...! Yay, no retcon! :p

Harry decides the Ogre has limited useful information, and wouldn't trust it anyhow.

Harry steps in with his axe to end the conversation...

Lol, I somehow thought that Marek was saved by the concealment^^

Never mind, ogres are dead, DM's fault.

But someone still has to rescue Marek^^

The ogre, still not able to see anything is unable to defend against Harry's powerful and clean strike...a head rolls, the ground is coloured red and the fight is finally over.

I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear him surrender...

Rushing over to Marek as the last Ogre falls KArlan administers emergency healing.

3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) = 7 Lay on hands to marek.

Just because he decided he didn't want to play anymore doesn't mean he gets given quarter :p

"Mr Ironblood appears to be in a pretty bad way"

Concerned as he is, he sees Karlan has things in order.

Harry rifles the fallen for valuables.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Ailetha continues to stand over the ogre with her rapier at its throat:
How many defenders? Just ogres? Or are there others?

The bloody stump spouts a bit more blood in response.
