DM Zyren's Heart of Runes (Inactive)

Game Master Zyrenity

These dopplegangers are really annoying.

Standard action: Inspire courage --> +2 to attack/damage/some saves

Typing from my phone, will get more later.

Doppelgangers? Where?

Celestra moves up behind Karlan (H25) and casts Spiritual Weapon and directs it to attack the Aldern at J20.

"Cayden Cailean, draw forth your rapier and let us take down these evil foes in your name!"

Celestial Rapier 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Celestra - you have a +2 attack and +2 damage from my song. Same for everyone else.

"Well, this is normally the part where I'd attempt to arrest you all and you'd ignore me and we'd just basically slay you and try to get our questions answered through your carcasses. But, seeing as how we're technically out of our jurisdiction I'm going to settle with a call for surrender before I savagely beat each and every one of you. Any takers?"

Cutting off their escape he whispers something to his blade as he holds it up and it begins to glow with a heavenly light.

5ft shift to J24. Use Divine Bond to put Merciful on my longsword.

"Very cordial of you Sir Karlan, a much better example of propriety"

Is that sarcasm? O_o I don't think he'd be able to tell anyway, too many Aldern's to beat up to care.

Both? Either way, its a 'Harry Approved' approach!

Oh those Alderns are everywhere;
Be nice now, please don't stare;
But if Alderns blades draw blood;
Then Harry and Karlan respond with good;
So Alderns fall, fright n'despair.

Flying swords and celestial words - hah - that won't impress us much!

Battle Mat

Rubbing his hands together,Perdition steadies his mind. Calling forth a slippery layer of Grease he coats the floor directly beaneath the feet of the largest grouping of Aldern's. "Let's see you dodge that one, nimble ones."

Cast Grease DC16 centered on the the largest grouping of baddens after they take their turn, but without catching any of our guys in it. The pit should still be open for another 5 rounds also if that has any bearing on this map.

"Flying swords and celestial words - hah - that won't impress us much!"

"Is that the best you can do with rhyming. Well you haven't seen anything yet until you've heard the Great Aurcalam! Just wait until you get her going!"

Now the time has come to say bye bye;
See the dopplegangers prepare to die;
The first one's head falls off ker-plump;
And then its neck is but a stump;
Now the rest in the Abyss will fry.

Sad little even monsters, that is how you portend the future.

Does someone want to remote control kanyk? He's off and disappeared again.

Kanyk

The Halforc moves to J25 and fires a shot with his composite bow. He aims at the Aldern at J20.

Longbow 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 5

Kanyk

The Halforc moves to J25 and fires a shot with his composite bow. He aims at the Aldern at J20.

Longbow 1d20+8
Damage 1d8

No clue what type of composite longbow Kanyk has, but he has a 20 Str, so should have at least some ++ to damage.

Yeah pretty sure he has a composite bow of some form.

Harry

The Alderns all rush over to Karlan to engage him with their silver daggers AOOs please

Aldern attacking Karlan/ Dagger1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aldern attacking Karlan/ Dagger1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Aldern attacking Karlan/ Dagger1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

@ Perdy: Could you please specify the target squares for grease?

Battle Mat
Only one of them remains in the pit and tries to climb out.

Waiting on Grease and AOO's or whatever so I can get a space :)

J/I 22 and 23 :edited to correct squares.

Reflex save1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Reflex save1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Both Alderns show remarkable talent in balancing and so none of them slips.

Harry moves in to the closest Aldern and has a swing at him.

Attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage 1d12 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Knowledge(anything) 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 --> Why would they all be using silver daggers? - Half my knowledge is +8 a few are +9 -- not that it matter with a 1, I probably think that they are all shiny toys.

Round 2
• Celestra•

Celestra directs the Spiritual Rapier to move in and attack the Aldern (L21) remaining in the pit. (Move Action)

Spiritual Weapon 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Celestra then takes her own rapier and lunges at the closest Aldern (I25) through the doorway.

Rapier 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

______________________
Round 2
• Kanyk •

The half orc Ranger, drops his bow and pulls out his Masterwork Earthbreaker and swings a power attack at the flanked Aldern (I25).

Earthbreaker 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Damage 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 4) + 13 = 20

Everyone should have +2 Att/+2 Damage from my performance. Not sure if people are including this, but Celestra's damage does not seem to reflect it.

Also, I just realized that as a bard, I can take 10 on knowledge checks, so I should have an 18 on the above roll.

On a side note the n earest one that harry can swing at is flanking with karlan.

"They have the reflexes of a cat!"

Well, lets see if they squeal like a cat when we hit them with earth breakers and swords.

"Ow!" KArlan says as one of the knives manage to get past him. "I'm not here to impress you!"

Will wait to see if the one harry whacked is still up since he gets sneak attack damage.

Good point... what does the map look like?

AAA
_AKK

Something like this. 5ft shift SE and thwack a head off.

Roger :p

@ Ailetha: You think they must have feared to encounter a pack of were-creatures.

Need Harry's sneak damage from that last attack, before we can go on.

Kanyk smashes his hammer into the shoulder of an Aldern and swings him around like a puppet - this doppelganger will never ever again impersonate anyone...

Battle Mat

Sneak - 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12

Glad to hear I was in a sneak position :)

[ooc]just going to assumer Harry murdered the face off that one.

Karlan lays into the one to the southwest attempting to beat him into submission. This one may be the lucky one.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Non-Lethal Sword
1d6 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + (1) + 7 = 13 Nonlethal sword damage

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Lethal Shield
1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Damage

Neither sword nor shield connect and so the Alderns strike back

Aldern attacking Karlan/ Dagger1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aldern attacking Karlan/ Dagger1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Battle Mat

R2

Harry presses the assault.
Attacks I24, and if it falls down he will 5' step into that space.

Attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage 1d12 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The Pit and Grease are both still in effect for another couple of rounds. The Aldern fighting the sword should have to make another save @+2 since he finished his round on the edge of the pit,right?

Seeing that Karlan is determined to take one of the things alive, Perdition decides that it might be best assist in that endeavor. Zipping past Ailetha, the gnome screeches to a halt just short of Harry. Quickly calling on one of his favorite spells, a sudden blast of colors fills the room. "Let's see if you can beat this."

Move to G22,cast Color Spray DC 16 vs. Will. That should light up the Alderns,but not any friendlies.

"Amazing display Mr Banderflash, very impressive!"

Smiling a toothy smile, Perdition gives a slight bow. "I thought about including Karlan in the fun, but he might have become a bit upset. Paladins. Can't take a joke it seems, Hahahaha.

"Well they have standards, station, and sense of dignity to maintain; they can't be getting about like common men and ruffians playing pranks and getting up to scallywag activity now can they Mr Banderflash, just wouldn't be right that. Not at all"

"Good thing that ain't us then eh?" Harry matches with a grin of his own amongst the carnage.

"Hohohohoho!",he chuckles as his hands begin to emenate heat and his eyes go black as coals. The next spell is not likely to be as benign as the ones he has cast to this point.

Next round is going to be Danger Close,Harry.

I move to G23 and hold my action in case anyone needs any help.

I continue to maintain the performance -- +2 attack/+2damage/+2 some saves for all

Next round is going to be Danger Close,Harry.

Duck and cover

@ Perdy: There is a wall blocking your color spray - Harry and Celestra are standing in front of the door which is the only way to the staircase. I zoomed the map a bit - maybe it's easier to see the door now.

Round 3
Celestra

Celestra will sheath her scimitar and fire her crossbow at the Aldern (I23).

Crossbow 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 5

Meanwhile the celestial rapiers make a feeble attempt on the life of the other Aldern (L21).

Spiritual Weapon 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

_____________________

Round 3
Kanyk

The Halforc ranger pulls out his composite longbow and lets an arrow fly at the Aldern (I23)

Composite Longbow 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Why didn't Kanyk just charge into the gap and beat the shape changer into submission?

It appears crowded, and I was giving Harry room if he wants to come further in.

Hahaha, that wall would impede the ability to use a spell. Hmmmm, okay I will place a readied action on the Color Spray to set off if any more Alderns enter the kitchen.

"See? Now three of you are dead and all you've managed to accomplish so far is annoying me and making Kanyk and harry spend extra time oiling their weapons tonight. This is what I don't get about you bad guys. When worse comes to worst UNGH! You'd rather fight to the death and hasten your fall into the abyss rather than take a minute to reflect that maybe the paladin's offer of quarter isn't such a bad deal to take."

Attacking one directly west of karlan.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 Sword Attack
1d6 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 7 = 16 Nonlethal Sword Damage

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Shield Attack
1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Shield damage
