DMummy's Mask

Game Master Elmdorprime

Rameth and Dwalindor's blows stagger the statue, causing it to shake as shards fly off in response to the hammering.

You both feel a slight resistance to the damage you've done.

Azubah realizes that he cannot pick the lock and decides to open it with his morningstar instead.

Attack
1d20+2

Damage
1d8

Don't worry guys, we will be there in time to bury your dead bodies.

Reposting Azubah's attack on the lock.

Are we back to us or the statue still needs to go? I wanted to make sure you were not waiting on me.

I believe we're waiting on Calin and Tobbs. Although I haven't heard from Albus, has anyone else?

Did anyone else have trouble posting last night?

I did have some connectivity issues around 8 Central?

our hobbit, mentioned he is traveling, so lets just bot him?

Botting it is! Although with Azubah, you, the gate and Dwalindor blocking the way you're lucky he grabbed all the archery feats he could!

With himself and Tobbs unable to reach the gate around Azubah, Calin fires an arrow at the statue past the group, trying to strike the statue.

Attack (Bow): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Sadly the cover from the surrounding people and the gate blocks his arrow from a true blow. Fortunately it doesn't hit any of his fellows.

Monster

The statue continues its assault on the nearest threat, the giant human Rameth.

Attack 1(Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Attack 2(Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Damage 1(Quarterstaff): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

&$@!?$ Rameth says as he staggers

Teip barks in a chorus

Mutated Enlarged Morning star: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 1 + (4) = 18 for 2d6 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 9 + 3 = 17

To aid dwalindors attack

Mutated Enlarged Morning star: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 = 17 vs ac 10

Rameth uses his last inspiration to try to land his attack

Azubah bashes the lock again.

Attack
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Damage
1d8 ⇒ 2

Rameth's morningstar misses the nimble statue, and Azubah's enthusiastic swings don't seem to be making a dent on the lock.

I figured since I hadn't heard from Albus, and Dwalindor hadn't posted, I'd move for Albus - Calin let me know he's in transit for the next 24 hours.

Albus, frustrated at Azubah's repeated strikes, wades forward, tossing Calin over his shoulder and pushing Azubah behind him.

With a mighty yell he brings his sword down on the lock with a flash of steel and magic that shatters the gate.

Attk: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 19
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
Castinf Def DC15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Brand Spell Spellstrike: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 19
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 16

Calin and Tobbs charge through the now open gate and attack the statue.

Attack, Tobbs (Bite): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Attack, Calin (Longbow): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Sadly, both their attacks miss the statue.

Map adjusted to show charging halfling and lion.

Dwalindor tries to move into flank with reach, opposite of Rameth. South of the statue.

"Hang in there Rameth "

Lucern, flank, assist, rage pa, : 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 12 - 1 = 24 damage : 1d12 + 4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 + 3 = 15

Recovering from Dwalindor's blows, the statue attacks Rameth again.

Attack 1 (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Attack 1 (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

This time the quarterstaff misses the giant investigator.

Calin and Tobbs spring back into action against the statue.

Attack (Longbow): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Attack (Claw 1): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Attack (Claw 2): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Calin's arrow misses again, but Tobbs manages to gouge one set of claws into a fissure caused by one of Rameth or Dwalindor's blows.

Damage (Claw 1): 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Back to Rameth, Azubah and Dwalindor.

Map.

Mutated Enlarged Morning star: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 + 2 = 18 for 2d6 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 + 3 = 14
Aid: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 1 + 2 = 10 vs AC 10

Rameth swings with all his might, then attempts to nudge it towards Dwalindor

Dwalindor swings again while opposite of Rameth.

"Rrrrrr.... I can't keep this up much longer . "

Hammer, pa, flank, aid, rage: 1d20 + 6 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 6 - 1 = 17 damage : 1d12 + 4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 + 3 = 20

You are getting the flanking bonus, are you including that bonus in the +6?

Dwalindor's hammer and Rameth's morningstar both miss the statue, glancing off the quarterstaff it's maneuvering in its defense.

I need healing!!

You know you're bad off because you can see the ghostly outline of a man fighting the statue who says words you can hear.

Oh, don't worry old chap. If you die you can become one of us!

Sir Howard motions to Azubah and you see the outlines of many, many people behind Azubah.

Aside from the high priest, we're awfully good company.

yes unfortunately: 6 bab and str, 2 rage, 2 flank, 2 assist - at 3rd level that is the best I have unless it is undead

+12 is pretty good for a non-magical weapon at 3rd level really :) Just gotta roll high.

I'm givin' it all she's got, Captain! The bad part is when Dwalindor runs out of rage after this next round. :-O

I'd like...to point out to all of you at thisss juncture that had you taken up Ibrahim on hisss...offer you'd have a vendor tent...jussst outssside the temple.

I think we're waiting on Azubah, yes?

Desperation overcomes Azubah's better judgment and he charges at the idol.

Charge action

Attack
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Damage
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

I don't think you can charge in this case because the closest squares to the statue are occupied by Tobbs and Rameth? I've moved you to J7 (within 30 feet).

enthusiastic swing moves close - very close - to the statue, but not close enough.

Map.

The statue avoids the slash and turns back to Rameth.

Attack (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Attack (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The statue's first attack misses Rameth but the second blow connects.

Damage (Quarterstaff): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Rameth falls to the floor, unconscious.

I believe Calin is back from travelling this evening - if he doesn't post tonight I'll continue to bot him.

Apparently all our healer folks would rather have Rameth be one of azubahs ghosts rather than heal :(

I think we need to invest into more healer folks.:-(
I forgot we lost Albus as well as Calin.
Dwalindor has one potion, but that won't do much.

You guys are lacking in arcane firepower without Albus sadly. Well, that's what Use Magic Device is for.

Seeing Rameth fall to the floor drives Azubah into action. As quickly as he can, he moves to his side and fumbles with his possessions. Just as he draws the wand of healing, an unseen hand fights him for it and he struggles to free it.

2 move actions: first to reach Rameth and second to obtain the wand.

CLW if he can use it this round
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Which square were you moving to? Also, Rameth do you remember if Enlarge Person stops once you fall unconscious? I think it does but wanted to make sure.

Azubah moves to H5.

OK, thanks. Under the circumstances I'll allow the wand use but you do provoke an attack of opportunity.

Attack (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Damage (Quarterstaff): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Wands don't provoke

Moving out of a threatened square does though?

Without his overly large, flanking buddy, Dwalindor drops out of rage (1 round remaining).

"We...uh...need...huh, a new plan. Azubah, can you....uh...get Rameth back up?"

Dwalindor lucern hammer, reach, pa, fatigue: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 5 for dmg: 1d12 + 4 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 - 2 = 11

Calin moves to Rameth and casts....

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Tobbs attacks the creature.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Rematch comes to, shouting.

At 2HP

do I get to act this turn?

I don't see why not.

Tobbs' and Dwalindor's wild attacks miss the relentless statue.

cool I'll figuremout what I wanna do

rameth downs a shield extract and grabs his morningstar ac 22

The statue, having finished off the giant investigator, turns to attack the lion trying to maul it.

Attack (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Attack (Quarterstaff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Damage (Quarterstaff): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage (Quarterstaff): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Back to you guys of course.

Azubah touches the healing wand to Rameth again and says "Aroden, strengthen your limbs!"

CLW
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rameth stands, 5 ft steps back into a flank, and swings away

Mutated Morning Star: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 1 + 2 = 29 for 1d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 = 12
ton confirm Mutated Morning Star: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21 for 1d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 = 12

thats gotta do it

Rameth's desparate last blow does crack into the statue, causing it to falter.

Over the course of just a few seconds you see the animation slowly leave the statues and then it crack into pieces. Finally it collapses into a pile of fine white sand that covers the ground. Its staff falls next to it.

I thought we were finished there for a second. Erastil tells me that she has no more grace to offer me today.

Calin searches the areas for any other threats or artifacts

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Tobbs moves to the corner and begins licking his wounds.

The only treasure you see around the chamber is the staff itself - it carries the faint aura of magic.

Like Dwalindor, you see that the doors to the east have been picked.

Dwalindor leans against the wall for a bit to catch his breath then stoops to pick up the staff.

"Well...uh...that was one tough chunk of walking stone. You doin' ok there, Rameth?"
