DaWay's Legacy of Fire - Howl of the Carrion King (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

"I know they are just scratches,but many of us are wounded now, should we rest or push on"

Zerika has 3 non lethal, and Arizhel 2, I am sure many of us have more. (The negative damage from Pugwampis is still damage, just non lethal)

The blade doesn't seem to be any danger, though it's magic is still obscured.

When the blade is handed over to Khatijah, it appears to be one of the most superbly crafted blades that has ever been seen by the likes of you, Everything comes clean about the blade however the mold seems to creep up her arm and make a home on Khatijah's hand that weilds it.

In the courtyard, huge branches and overgrown weeds clog the central open-air courtyard. Making their way through a tunnel of the weeds comes a group of pugwampi carrying a large egg. There are 4 pugwampis with the egg and a rather large on bringing up the rear. They see the party and draw their daggers except of the large one who draws a warhammer.

Tolus
A9: This is a small antechamber and was a place for reflection before the monks gathered in the chapter house seen on the other side. Carvings of religious significance to the cult of Sarenraw line the walls, but none seem to involve Vardishal or help in any way to lessen the mystery of the abandoned monastery.

A12: The brightly painted walls of this small chapel, probably meant for personal prayer and reflection, stand out as unusually garish for the otherwise reserved architecture notable elsewhere in the monastery. On the walls, numerous rectangular wooden plates traced in gold filigree depict a strapping warrior battling creatures of fire, riding a chariot on the wind, and engaging in other acts of noble heroism. It is the same figure depicted elsewhere in the monastery, but the sheer number of images here suggest that this shrine was especially important to the clerics who honored him as a saint of Sarenrae. Perhaps a quarter of the gold plates have been pried away or hacked apart by long-absent vandals.
Opposite the door, dominating a section of the north wall, stands a man-sized statue of the warrior, its face marred by what look like numerous blows from an axe. The statue holds both hands in front of him, bent at the elbow, palms up, as if expecting an offering. Several deep rents from similar axe blows make it clear that someone tried to hack the arms from the statue decades ago, but was unable to do so.

Kara looks around the passageway with mild interest, running her fingers along the old stone here and there, and ignoring the commotion over some dumb old scimitar. When she sees the pugwampis though, she's instantly alert and points at them with her blade. "Pugwumpis! More of them!"

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Tolus is just about to call the others to see the adjacent rooms when Kara's alarm reaches him. He spins and brings his shield up. His poisoned shuriken at the ready.

initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Ah the pugwampi demon dogs again. He steps forward and sends a blast of fire their way trying to get as many as he can in the flames.

4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 4) + 4 = 14 DC 17 Reflex save for half

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

3 of the dogs drop instnatly. The other charges Malak with his hammer attempting to break his kneecaps 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

does anyone speak gnoll or terran?
also I will need rolls to over come spell resistance on this guy.

Taldor sees the large one and laughs "Ye think yer good with a hammer?" He charges him and attempts to shove him into the wall

Bull Rush:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

I am in range as I was near the doors on that wall.
Also, Because of my 20 Init roll
Also, I speak neiter gnoll or terran

Tolus's hurls his poisoned shuriken at the charging dog, hoping to protect Malak.

Damage 2H Temptest: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Khatijah is frozen for a moment as the mold grows on her arm and hand, but as soon as the sounds of combat break out, she snaps out of it. She rushes the last pugwampi and attempts to cleave it's skull with a powerful two handed blow.

Is the larger one another pugwampi and just a bigger one or something else entirely. I wasn't sure.

Caster level check to overcome spell resistance. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

just a larger pugwampi just more stout

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Fionn moves forward and throws a bolt of fire at one of the little beasties.
to hit, ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
to hit, ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

I attacks the big ones

Taldor continues to attempt to bring the big pugwampi down

Attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Initiative:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Arizhel draws her blowgun, and prepares to fire, then realizes that it would be neigh impossible for her to hit a target already engaged in combat.

Initiative:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
"Zhel, where do you need me?"

Wow! Spend a little time on the wife, and look what starts without me!

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Mas'ud draws his blade while attempting to maneuver into position to provide Taldor a flank on the larger Pugwampi. 2 move equivalent actions. I really need that BAB 1 thing so I can draw while moving . . .. <wink>

with a series of misses by the party, the large pugwampi turns his attention to the toughest of the group and hammers it out with taldor.

hammer 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
damage 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

13 missed on a ranged touch? ouch, these are tough buggers to hit!

Fionn again throws fire at one of the pugwampi. 3/6 bolts now used

to hit, ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
to hit, ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Attack 1H Temptest: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 => 8 => no way in heck.
Attack Cestus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 => 3
Fumble: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 => 9 ow.

Khatijah's anger gets the better of her as she misses with the scimitar and tries to follow up with her plate shod fist, unfortunately...

Khatijah, your hand gets caught up in the cestus as you rip open an old wound (You take 1 point of bleed damage)

Tolus realizes that he'll never hit anything if he throws a shuriken into melee. Worse, he may hit a friend. He draws his spear and moves to within striking range of the smaller of the two demon-dogs left, doing his best to flank with Khatijah.

Seeing her comrades unable to harm the larger creature, Kara steels her resolve and with an almost unearthly grace and speed twists through the fray to find herself face to face with it, holding her blade at the ready.

move action: activate Battle Dance (inspire courage).
move action: approach pugwampi

Tolus the big one is the only one left, sorry if i made that unclear. But they only had 3 hp and even if they took half of the burning hands they would have still died

Fionn hits the pugwampi as he howls in pain

Malak stands back a bit and let's the group work. He feels his concentration getting harder to maintain and needs to conserve his energy.

Arizhel, noting the groups lack of luck, summons another eagle to aid in combat before taking the crossbow from Zerika's hands. 3 for the day

Zerika moves to the large pugwampi, and attempts to provide flanking for Kira.

Move action to hand other a weapon.
Move to flanking if possible.

count as attempting flank opposite someone. There may not be enough open spaces. I'm not sure.
Taking encouragement from Kara's apparent prowess, he circles and attempts to surround the thing.

Smiling at the dancing display, Mas'ud empowers his blade and attempts to stick the remaining opponent.

Attack 1 (+2 Flank, +1 Inspire): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Attack 2 (+2 Flank, +1 Inspire): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Damage (+1 Arcane Strike, +1 Inspire): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Realizing the entire party focusing it and him being attacked, he decides to keep the focus on him. Taldor laughs loudly as he thing misses him "Look at ye, ye couldn't hit a blind ol' man! Thought since ye were ugly as incest ye might be good with a weapon, but I guess yer just completely useless!" Taldor goes full defensive

Fionn throws another fire bolt at the large pugwampi, injuring it severely.
Mas'ud empowers his blade with the power of his ancestors enabling it to find its mark.
Everything else was a miss

The large pugwampi continues his assault on the dwarf
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Tolus runs the edge of his spear-head over his tongue quickly, turning it the same white-green as the shuriken. Let's give this another try, he mutters and jabs at the dog with his spear.

I'm going to assume I have flanking as we have this thing pretty much surrounded. I am now out of uses for my racial venom.

attack1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
attack2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The fighter hisses in pain, but otherwise focuses on the task at hand.

Full Attack.
Temptest 1H: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14=> 13 +2 for 15 if flanking
Damage Temptest: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Cestus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22=> 4 (What a waste of a 20)
Do I take more damage from the bleed?

Lolz he woulda hit me if I wasn't full defense

Taldor calmly fends off the large pugwampi, still taunting it
Well this'll work nicely

[/ooc]Khatijah, yes until you get a Heal DC 15 or magical healing the bleed continues[/ooc]

Large Pugwampi fumbles (No Way: The attack hits but deals minimum damage) so that means 1 nonlethal to Taldor

So just 1 point again?

Seeing Katijah in pain and wounded, Fionn channels energy, specifically excluding the Pugwampi (selective channeling).

healing in 30' burst: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Kara tries to swing her blade at the Pugwampi but can't get a good angle amid the commotion.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 15
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10
1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Mas'ud empowers his blade yet again. "Fall, you worthless dog! Why do you still stand?"

Attack 1 (+2 Flank): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Attack 2 (+2 Flank): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Damage (+1 Arcane Strike): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He attempts to put the pointy end of his rapier in the pugwampi, but things don't look promising right now . . ..

Taldor raises his eyebrows in surprise as a horrible swing manages to glance off him. He decides to take advantage of the swing and counterattacks

Attack1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 141d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21

Damage if hit1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

All attacks glance off the creature as he continues his assault on Taldor.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Apparently I have the fumble dice now

And the large pugwampi leaves himself wide open after overswinging. For this round he is flat footed.

About time he got one... Usually it is Zerika
Arizhel's eagle continues its barrage

Tolus stabs again at the dog thing, using it's overbalancing to try to pierce a weak spot in it's armor

attack1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
attack2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Zerika again attempts to strike at the ugly beast.

To Hit: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 = 21
To Hit: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Frustration begins to get to the young fighter as she takes Temptest in both hands.

Attack 2H temptest: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20=> 16 Woo Hoo! Khat may actually hit something!
Damage 2H Temptest: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 :D

Arizhel prepares to cheer Khatijah's mighty blow.

Waiting patiently, Taldor grins when the thing leaves itself open. Taldor suddenly bursts on him, flipping violently from defense to offense and attempting to pin it against a wall.
CMB1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Kara swings her blade around more at the creature, but more for show and effect than out of any expectation of actually hitting the thing.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 11
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 14
dmg: 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

The large pugwampi over extending himself would spell his doom, after being harried by the eagle Khatijah would take advantage of the opening and leave two halve of the creature laying on the ground in a viscous pool of his own blood.

xp and loot to come tonight after work of course
