Dark Forest Defenders (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

Eina snarls as she grips her sword in both hands. Her eyes lock onto the gargoyle between her and Wolf, their pupils slits.

Attack (B.Sword 2h) v. G3 (+2 for flank): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Her sword whistles as it falls. The sound of steel on stone rings out and flecks of rock spray out from the monster before her.

"Blasted magic. Couldn't you have just left it alone?"

Round 2

Wolf laughs at them, "Is that the best you can do, you barely tickled, I don't want you as minions then." DR 10/silver.

Current AC 21 with mage armor.

Wolf speaks in Draconic, "Eina, dras rosves soeif soiejls, fsoie sleiflai slivos ososijsn sorivos! Magious sovis woivlis."

He aids Eina to give her another +2 to attack, as he pulls out his adamantine dagger 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 18 with flank. Successful!

The power I used was from my Change Shape Racial ability. It takes a standard action. If I were to pop my mutagen, these would grow further with the feral mutagen discovery.

Gerhard shifts into O10 (having move to O11 before), now getting flanking the gargoyle with Eina. He expertly attacks the most vunerable parts of the gargoyles defense.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 281d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Sneak Attack, if any land: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) = 8

Whenever he starts his turn, unless he is magically healed or makes a DC 15 heal check, he takes 3 damage every round from Bleeding Attack.

Round 2
Drops his bow where he stands
Moves to O12
Draws his shortsword as a combined free action.

Free action; Moves and uses rule If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may draw a weapon as a free action combined with a regular move.

Round 2

Filk bursts over towards another gargoyle, shouting to his new friends:

"MakeSureYouHit'emWithEnchantedWeapons! TheseGuysAreResistantToMundaneAttacks!"

He moves around to get into flanking with Eina, and then fast as lightning, he strikes out once more with his rapier!

+1 rapier: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 171d4 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 6

Then, just as quickly as he come, he darts back to safety!

Using spring attack to attack G2. Moving 60' to get to O10, so I can avoid the AoO from G1. The moving 45' to 018, behind Phurs.

Nora looks around confused when her touch doesn't result in the usual influx of energy. Concerned about her lack of any offensive power with her abilities in questions, Nora quickly backs out of melee. Concerned with her lack of power she attempts to use one of her other innate abilities.

5ft step to K13. Move Action - J17. Standard Action - detect thoughts at the melee group in front of her.

Round 2

Eina hits the creature in front of her

Wolf takes a weapon out and threatens.

Gherard now in coldborn form manages to hit with a claw and a bite not putting a big dent as he had hoped due to the skin's resistance to normal attacks

Phurs does switch weapon and moves

Filk does his spring attack and hits the creature

Nora use her spell like power and the group in front of her has 7 intelligent minds

Round 3

All Heroes go !

Round 3

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 52 ⇒ (18) + 52 = 70

Filk smirks and rushes towards to obelisk and then nimbly jumps on top of it (move action)

Sitting on top of the obelisk, Filk whips out an ocarina and begins to play some super fast celtic battle songs to inspire his allies. (inspire courage +1)

Round 3

Phurs is irate at being hit and decides to stab G2 with his trusty little shortsword.

Shortsword +1 attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 191d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 73d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13

Fighting defensively -4 attack/+2 ac for round with flanking bonus of +2; included is a +1 to attack and +1 to damage from inspire courage; and since I'm flanking it (opposite wolf) I get a backstab

My AC is 23 for this round

Smiles maliciously at the gargoyle as his magic shortsword takes a nasty chunk out of its hide!

A bite an a claw land on Gerhard, but he too shrugs his off (temp hp from false life)

He whips out his mutagen and drinks as he shifts back. Fur grows in patches on his body, his teeth and claws grow larger. He looks like a were beast now.

Unstable Mutagen: 1d6 ⇒ 1

This mutagen will only last a half hour (5 min/level).

Wolf continues to help others flank the beasts, his dagger making a distraction for Eina, +2 on AC. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 He stumbles with his attack but he still gives flanking.

Eina swings again, attempting to hit the same Gargoyle as before.

Attack (+1 B. Sword 2H)(Flank and Inspire Courage) v. G3: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15

Her blade rips through the stone-like hide of the creature before her.

At least confident not all of her abilities are gone on the island Nora shifts to find a better view of the battle N17, drawing her crossbow as she moves. She shoots at a gargoyle deep in melee. Shoot at G2

+1 Crossbow: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Well hopefully I never have to outright kill anything on this island...without vampiric touch I'm not exactly an offensive threat lol.

Round 3 top:

filk gets on top of the obleisk, and starts bardic music

Phurs attacks hits his intended target

Gerhard 5ft and takes a mutagen

Wolf almost cuts himself with his dagger

Eina swing her weapon and kills the creature, his body going limp on the floor

Nora shoots from her X-bow ( remember -4 penalty for not having precise shot and firing in melee combat) and still hits her target

Round 4 Top

All Heroes Go !

Elaina turns to the next Gargoyle, her teeth bared in a hissing snarl.

Attack (+1 B. Sword 2H)(Inspire Courage) v. G2: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Her blade bites deep into the thing's skin, slinging more blood and stone flecks on the ground. She moves closer to Phurs, bringing herself within reach of the third Gargoyle.

"Get behind me. I'll take care of them."

Attack followed by five foot step to N12

Eina kills the other one

Phurs is now mad as hell as he's the only one hurt. He decides to take it out on the last standing gargoyle. Saying "I'm gonna rip its wings off"

Attack (+1 Shortsword)(Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 191d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 53d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5) = 12

Standard attack with flanking and backstab damage

Satisfied with the ripping strike on the gargoyle Phurs makes a 5 foot step behind Eina into N13.

Shift to flank with Phurs

Bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 281d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Sneak: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5) = 17
Claws: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Claws: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Gerhard manages to get a exceedingly well placed bite and bears down hard, but misses with his claws horribly.

Round 4

Seeing the gargoyle's numbers are dwindling, Filk sees his chance to really show his stuff! He leaps off the Obelisk with his rapier held point down, and attempts to land on top of the stone monster blade first!

+1 Rapier: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 = 261d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

End performance but thanks to Lingering Performance the buffs last another 3 rounds. Attacking G1 it looks like, assuming map is up to date. If not, whatever the closest one is. I'm not sure how high the obelisk is, but I'm hoping I can maybe add some damage for the height? I have the boots of the cat, which means I take minimum damage from falls. Not sure if you also want an acrobatics role?

yes the obelisk is around 75 ft tall. So you didn't make it to the top with your jump but you are around 20 ft. The acrobatics would mean you reduce the fall by 1d6 and therefore would take only 1 point of damage total

Can I add 2d6 to my attack as well?

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26 (+ another 36 to jump, not sure if that applies)

Wolf would keep engaging the gargoyle to give flanking to whoever needs it and gives Eina some aid in the form of AC.1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15

Nora resets her crossbow firing at the remaining gargoyle. Not sure how much this is doing, but I'm not getting back in tight with my powers on the fritz.

+1 crossbow: 1d20 + 1 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 11 - 4 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Round 4

And the last creature falls to the claws of the powered alchemist.

Combat Over

Eina closes her eyes and takes in several deep breaths. Once she is sure that she has her emotions under control, she opens her eyes and looks at the others.

"Is anyone hurt?"

Phurs mumbles "Yeah but its not life threatening". Continues to eye the gargoyle corpses wanting to exact a bit of revenge.

Then Phurs states "I hope we find who put those here it was probably a trap!" Before moving to retrieve his bow.

"Good job everyone, too bad that did not go better, I had hope for so much more and a chance for answers, I am unscathed." Wolf says with mixed emotions, though glad the fight is over.

Gerhard says with some difficulty (bear mouth and all) as he wipes the blood from his snout.

I am fine, though we may want to wait for me to prepare another dose.

He gestures with the silver flask with a beastial motif.

Filk dusts his shoulders off and hops over towards the group.

"I'mJustFineAndDandy! BoyThatWasFunThankTheGodsYouShiftersAreHere! WonderWhatThoseGargoylesWhereThereForThatSeemsLikeARudeTrickToPlay! Yanno?"

Waiting on Nora. Eina would wait until everyone had said something.

"Filk it looks like they were the ones I summoned, though not for sure the purpose of summoning gargoyles that just attack you." Wolf theorizes.

"HowOddToMakeASummoningRuneCarvedObeliskButNotHaveThemBeFriendlyToTheSummon er... Hmm. WellShallWeContinueUpThatPath?"

Sorry busy weekend

"I'm alright beautiful." Nora responds to Eina, trying not to show her worries to the girl. This island may be a lot more dangerous then we expected.

"Is there anything else on that obelisk? Perhaps the gargoyles were protecting something?" Nora quizzically asks

"Alright then."

Eina moves to where Phurs is standing. Her hand rests on his shoulder for a moment, saying, "May the light of the forge heal you."

Lay on hands: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

"I wish I could do more, but I can only do that a few times a day before I exhaust that power."

Filk giggles to himself as the pretty half-dragon lays her hands on the Succubus. This has always been a fantasy of his.

[b]"It's also possible that we activated it incorrectly, causing them to hinder rather than help"[b]

"I greatly apreciate the healing Lady Eina" Phurs says before continuing "I know if I were powerful enough to make a stone like that to summon such creatures!"
Phurs says "I wouldn't tolerate being attacked by them".

Eyeing the dead gargoyles with a little bit of anger.....

Phurs digs out his potion pouch and grabs a H and downs it

Reminds self to replenish these 2 potions when he gets back to someplace safe!

cure light wounds potion: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Remind me to make them for you.

Filk giggles to himself as the pretty half-dragon lays her hands on the Succubus. This has always been a fantasy of his.

Umm, you do know that Phurs is not the Succubus, right?

LOL! yes, I did know that. I totally read wrong. Thought it was Nora for some reason, as her post was above yours. Hmmm.... worrisome. Filk's imagination must be getting the better of him.

"Oh yes, we should move on. Boys would you mind scouting ahead?" Wolf requests as he continues to look at the obelisk, and consult his book.

You are currently at location E on the map
Current Time 9:35 Day 1

Let's head to area F towards area G?

Filk pops his head up:

"I'llGoOnAndScoutAheadNoProblemFriend!"

He nimbly dashes forward to check out what is up ahead.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

how far in front of the party are you? Remember that because of the fog you can't see farther than 60ft in front of you and above 30ft

Heading West from the obelisk is a grand staircase accompanied by a Colonnade. The columns are made of the same green stone that the obelisk was made from. Each column bears a symbol that is sometimes repeated on another one

Than I shall be 60 feet :)

K. Planes: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Filk scampers ahead and takes a quick glance at the columns along the stair. He thinks to himself:

'... I have no idea what these mean. But they sure look sure, I guess.'

Follows behind the over anxious filk at about 30 feet ahead of the rest of the group.

Keeping an eye out for trouble while being as stealthy as he possibly can be.

And Phurs look at the pillars quizzically trying to identify the material used to create them.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37
Appraise: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Trying to determine if the stone is valuable and its type
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Has my bow out and an arrow notched.

phurs: you have never seen that stone before and never heard about green stone. The closest you know are emerald but this stone is solide.

"What do you think about all this, Wolf?" gesturing to the obelisk."Normally summons don't attack the summoner"

just checking in. Nothing really to add while we wait on the scouts.

Nora stands in quiet contemplation about what risks she may face on this island.

the corridor is rather long are you waiting at the obelisk or following after them?
