Magnes Coalbrow |
Magnes looks at the area and seems to shrug before looking to one pillar in particular. "Think I'll see if I can't plug up that stairway. Go ahead and start the party early if they seem to catch on."
With that the Dhouvarr reaches into a pouch and retrieves a foul looking potion swigging the entire thing. The mans arms errupting into even more hair and the dwarf rapidly shrugging off his boots as the spell takes effect. Feet and hands covered in fur with elongated knuckles and fingers tailor made to seek out cracks the Dhouvarr grins and begins climbing the pillar going slowly so as not to alert his foes.
"Now less see if this won't work. Mah, I want a banana fer some reason."
Using the extract "Monkeyfish" (10ft climb speed) Magnes is going to attempt to climb to the ceiling and slowly make his way across, abusing the fact that noone has any reason to look up in their search to keep intruders out. He will make his best efforts to sneak over to the stairs and get onto them. And if that fails hucking bombs from the rafters sounds like fun.
Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Sneak: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
[ooc surprise round is dependant on Magnes sneaking into position. If he fails he loses out I think[/ooc]

Magnes Coalbrow |
Magnes slowly and silently clambers up one of the pillars using his new simian appendages to grasp crevases and niches in the wall that a normal climber would never have the hand strength to use. Small plumes of dust appearing in a few spots as he shakes ancient grit loose before making it to his destination, the back of the formation of warriors.
The Dhouvarr' grins as he silently draws his longspear and quaffs a potion before thrusting his spear into the nearest Hob

"Mah! I remember this being significantly harder, these ones are dropping like flies! The Dwarf laughs as he whirls the weapon held in his strangely elastic simian hands before lunging for another foe.

Magnes Coalbrow |
Just for the sake of saving time would you be willing to do Aoo's when enemies provoke them? it would mean you don't have to wait for me to do this as I plan to make reach weapons/ Aoo's a big part of Magnes's combat style.
Aoo's: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Aoo's: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Looks like a hit and two misses.
Chingo Chaplo |
As the remaining Bherug tribesmen and bugbear move to attack, the giant hairy dhouvarr makes three quick strikes against them with his spear, hitting the bugbear and dealing 11 damage.
All three foes close in on him.
The bugbear swings his greataxe. attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Magnes is not fast enough and he feels a sting as the greataxe draws his blood.
Bherug tribesman attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Bherug tribesman attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
As the Bherug tribesmen attack, Magnes parries both attacks with his spear.
I am not sure how you mean with the AoO's Mag?

Kevroth aims and fires both barrels at the second of the tribesmen as they rush Magnes, the two reports blending into a single massive roar.
Double-Barrel Attack, Point Blank Shot
Ranged Attack vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19.

Reloading one barrel with practiced ease, he wills the other barrel to be loaded from his bandolier.
Magnes Coalbrow |
Round 2
Magnes grits his teeth in annoyance and pain as the axe wound begins to seep blood on his clothes. "Fine. Ya get meh special attentions." The dhouvarr growls as he backs up by a step and and thrusts with his magically warped limbs.
Bomb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Bhalur Blackthorn |

Moving closer to Bherug, Bhalur tightens his grip on his sword as he slashes towards its neck, trying to cut its artery

Hawkren Hargraves |
OK, I'm going to post assuming I have a space I can acro land in that will allow me to flank a remaining baddie... just in case a little extra damage is needed.
Seeing an opportunity as the remaining warriors rush forward, Hawk slips past his allies and tumbles past a blood-blind fighter to skewer the man's kidney on his slender rapier.
Not honorable... but effective.

Hawk wipes his rapier clean but keeps it in hand. He points down the wide stairs to the right then begins creeping silently down them along the right-hand wall.
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Rhialla Arken |
"Anyone below surely heard the battle here, let's move quickly." Rhialla moves to descend the stairs.
Magnes Coalbrow |
Magnes hiccups once and nods wiping the blood off his spear on the bugbears corpse. "Lets get movin' then. Don't suppose one of you could help me out with a bit of healing?." The dwarf asks as he bleeds
Magnes could use a Myst healing or a CLW if either of our spell casters feel they could spare it.
Assuming there is nothing in the way Magnes will take point to maximize his long reaching spears effectiveness. I'd say magnes would be looking for traps but it will just be cursory examining, we don't really have time to cautiously dust every step before we move forward. Should look into something that makes that possible. A shaped sift spell perhaps.
Rhialla Arken |
Rhialla waves Magnes to her and lends a comforting smile, "It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit."
Lay on hands healing Magnes 1d6 ⇒ 6
Bhalur Blackthorn |
Moving closer a bit and poking at the dead bodies, Bhalur closes his eyes as he momentarily gives prayer for the fallen before turning to others "Some people like to think that mind comes over the body. True in some sense I believe as everything we see or interract is done with our soul and ideas. Our body just tries to fulfill its desire" smiling a bit at the last words
"Should we hurry for now? It seems like this fight did cause some noise and hopefully we will be able to reach your friend soon, Rhialla"
Chingo Chaplo |
As you make your way down the stairs you reach a hallway, and at the end of the hallway there is a large hall with stairs leading down to a large circular chamber. At the center of the circular chamber there is a pedestal and on the opposite side of the chamber a large stone door. Statues of elven warriors stand guard in a circle along the walls of the chamber.
Six Bherug tribe shamans are standing in a circle around the pedestal, chanting, while a large man covered in tattoos, thick locks of dark hair and a dark beard with blue warpaint on his face is holding Illysari, the priestess of Larafae with long orange-red hair, with a knife to her throat.
There is a shining green stone on the pedestal. Its glow intensifies as the shamans chant.
In front of them, there stands a man in black fullplate armor, black cloak and black horned full helm holding an evil-looking longsword to the throat of a Waeldfolk krimir who must be Wimbley. On each side of him there is a bugbear in spiked armor. One with a scimitar and shield and the other with a morningstar and shield.
"STOP!" the black knight calls out in a deep bellowing voice. "One more step and I kill the krimir."
Rhialla Arken |
Rhialla almost weeps at the sight of Illysari as she stops at the Black Knight's call. "Alright, alright! Just hold on, there is no need to kill anyone, release them and I promise everyone we can all walk away from this unharmed. There's been enough bloodshed already, there is a better way, we just have to work together to find it. What is it you want?"
"I must act quickly, the ritual may be completed soon, at great cost to my mission, my friends, and the innocent but I can not simply throw Wimbley's life away. Lady Larafae, if you are watching, guide me to the answer."
Kevroth |
Kevroth, at the back of the group, thmbs the hammers of his musket back as the black-armored man and Rhialla exchange words.
Magnes Coalbrow |
Magnes gives the black armored man a dark grin, resting back with his hands on his spear. "Yes, listenin' to her'd be wise."
Not that'd she'd be able to follow through on that promise. Theres an army out for blood right above them.
Magnes squints and gives the surroundings a glance. This seems a bit familiar.
Seems to me that this sort of ritual magic is the sort of thing your setting's alchemists would have some experience in would you permit me to roll a check of some variety to identify whats going on with the ritual and some obscure ways I might mess with it that might not be noticed?
Smudging chalk lines, humming at the rignt tone to mess with the acoustics of the ritual, pulling on the Flux to upset the building magic. That sort of thing.
Bhalur Blackthorn |
Seeing the situation around, and desperation of Rhialla Bhalur winces as he looks at the ongoing events. Tail sweeping behind him in irregular manners as his muscles keeps twitching in the manner of ready to take action and his eyes worriedly looking at others
"This is... most horrible now. There is no much time and I have a gut-wrenching feeling here that something truly devicious will be released if we do not act fast. May the blessing of Dragon Matron helps us all" Bhalur mutters to himself in a low voice, just a faint voice for others to hear it as he concentrates his focus on the krimir
Hawkren Hargraves |
Hawk watches the ritual, ignoring the talk. He assesses the situation. They're stalling for time we can't afford. If even half of the legend is true... Ang Varshon can't be allowed to go free. Parley benefits them and both sides know only one can emerge from this battle. He regrets the logical choice. Force the fight.
He growls, "Disrupt the ritual; down the priests." Then he hurls an arcane bolt of energy into the nearest shaman.

Kevroth |
Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14.
Kevroth is surprised by the sudden start of the violence that he knew was coming, but only for a heartbeat. Kevroth brings the barrels of his musket to bear on the man from his vision and aims carefully, squeezing the trigger.
Attack vs. touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27.

If the black-armored warrior is more than 50 feet from Kevroth, he will spend grit as necessary to resolve the attack against the touch AC. I just need to know the range
Bhalur Blackthorn |
Round 1
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Seeing as the tension was increasing and people taking action, Bhalur took a charge towards the black armored man, to prevent him from killing the krimir as he let out a roar to impose a challenge
Charge Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20
Charge Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
AC: 15 | HP: 33/33 (Armor already calculated)
Chingo Chaplo |
The ritual seems to be a ritual to open the gate to Ang Varshon
Almost simultaneously, Hawkren hurls an arcane bolt at one of the shamans, and Kevroth fires his musket.
Hawkren's arcane bolt deals 5 damage to one of the shamans.
As Kevroth's bullet hits his armor, the man in black armor loosens his grip on Wimbley enough to let the krimir escape. (16 damage)
Bhalur charges the black armored man and attacks him with his sword dealing 10 damage.
The Flux is more dense than Arukara had assumed, and she quickly draws enough Flux to cast her spell. (go ahead and roll damage for your spell)
"So you wanna play rough?" the black armored man bellows. "Fine!"
He attacks Bhalur. attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 total damage: 2d8 + 14 ⇒ (3, 4) + 14 = 21
As the two bugbears move toward the rest of the party to attack them, Bhalur gets an AoO.
Magnes Coalbrow |
Round 1
Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Knowledge rituals? any idea how far along this one is?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Magnes swears and gives a dark glare to the human spellcaster before rapidly drinking a brew, catching it in his mouth with teeth crunching through the bottles seal before he spits the entire thing to the side.
"We'll be havin' words later."
Using Signature brew to get true strike. I would like to specifically hit the chieftain right in his head
The Dhouvar looks at another bottle and the blue painted shaman holding the priestess before wincing. "Sorry in advance!"
Bomb: 1d20 + 6 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 20 = 372d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6) + 3 = 11
Magnes is hoping to get the chieftain to release the girl. I'm aware that between the warriors in the way and the penalties I'm taking to hit an enemy with an "Ally" (the priestess) in melee most of my bonus from true strike will get eaten. Fine by me if I can belt that guy in the face with a flaming flask. As usual everyone in 5ft of him needs to make a reflex save or take 3 damage. save =1.
Hawkren Hargraves |
Taking advantage of the thick flux, Hawk hurls an array of spells. A mystic snowball streaks towards the shaman already damaged by Hawk's arcane blast. He follows that with a ball of webbing aimed at another shaman. He looks for any sign that the ritual has been disrupted.

Rhialla Arken |
Round 1
"No!" Rhialla cries out as chaos bears down on the situation. Instinctively Rhialla darts toward Illysari and the tattooed Bherug man, her wings springing out behind her and beating the air to spur her forward. A split moment before reaching them, Rhialla's short sword sings from its sheathe and slashes at the man's arm in hopes of disarming him.
Spending a hero point to save Illysari

The bugbears move forward and Magnes's warped limbs lash out with his spear lunging like a crane.

The strange style of movement the magically assisted strike requires makes Magnes miss. The dwarf muttering under his breath as the bugbears advance unimpeded.
Wow, seriously?
