To the group, "Let Sarenrae Bless us and preserve us." She raises her arm to the sky, her sleeve dropping to reveal an incredibly elaborate tattoo of Saranrae's symbol. Iryna's Burning Angel flares with light and healing energy, soothing the injuries of the assembled fellows.
To the newcomer, "We are here to cleanse the wicked. Amongst friends the task will be much easier. Are you a friend, Gnoll? I am called Iryna Marita Pantaeva." As she says her name, she rolls her letters showing that she is clearly not originally from Qadira. "What is your name?"
Kronus tenses at first.. When the hairless places his hand upon him; He doesnt back down for fear of losing face. When he feels the rush of positive energy surge through him at the call of this "Dawnflower", the sensation surprises him.. never in his short life had he experienced that from a touch unless he consumed various potions. Kronus takes a step back to re-evaluate the situation and this sensation What is this pinkskin? A shaman..? We didnt have a shaman in the tribe. Is this thier power... My wounds close and this can be useful.. I shall amuse him. This means I am in his debt as well.. Damn.
Kronus points to the frontmost corner of this area " I came from the front.. One of their scouting parties underestimated me..and I slaughtered them, tracked their movements back to here. I challenged Carrion King openly.. They laugh...very many of them stop laughing when I did not die. They overwhelmed me when they realized strength. "
He looks hard at Hajar " I come to get stronger, Become real king of Gnolls... To get mate back.. precious mate. Mate who was stolen from me. So I get stronger.. who stronger than Carrion King? Current Carrion King cause too much trouble. If I defeat him I am the strongest..... Why you here? "
A similar reaction to bone and sinew knitting back together from your burst of holy light giving Kronus another feeling that he oftentimes did not receive.. relief. he pondered this. No he owed two hairless and his brethren. He would be indebted to these Humans. A simple request by this.. Iryna could be answered.
" I am Kronus! Paragon of Once great Deathmaw tribe.... and I am indebted to Kuralaak and now you two Hairless... I am not enemy to those who help me. Here.. Gift "
Tossing the woman the other set of armor from the other Gnoll guard
" It protect soft flesh.. Even?"
I feel like the party accepts the new white gnoll if not a little cautiously. So we can move forward.
Hajar posted he was going to walk through the door who is going with him and what is the line order please?
In Qadiran style, Iryna thanks the white Gnoll, "Kronus, your gifts are both a pleasure and needed. I absolve you of any debt you feel towards me." The red haired cleric bows deeply. "As equals, shall we continue the fight against the Carrion King?" This gnoll, he has something of honor. Saranrae's ways are not to be known, but I thank her for the journey.
After Iryna dons the filthy armor and hefts a new scimitar she follows Hajar into the next room.
I will assume Hajar and Kronus will lead together. The doors are Large and they can enter the room side by side.
Iryna seems to be melee as well so she and Grim would be in the second tier.
Kuralaak being ranged would be third
Raj and Selina would bring up the rear wanting to stay far back being squishy casters.
Kronus nods that his debt has been repaid and looks to continue on.. in much better shape than before. Hairless are not all ruthless killers.. odd
"*grunt* As Equals.. yes.. I want his teeth.. to become new king. Let me see if there are more of them to...kill"
Grim says something at barely a whisper. "Hey you might want the rogue to check for traps.....Oh well too late....
Reflex save DC 20 for half damage.
Selina stays in the back, ready to assist the party but wary of the gnoll and the mage who keeps looking at her, almost as if he were studying her. He keeps that up, he may find trouble, she thinks. Selina gives Raj a dirty look.
Selina I think you are healed back to full with that last channel energy.
@ Raj's planes inquiry I will let the players decide how much you discover about them.
Kronus looks left to right.. sniffing and searching but hears nor spots anything out of the ordinary until rocks plummet down upon him. At first he seems like he will dodge out of the way but being stubborn elects to cover himself as the rocks crash down.. to show his durability.
Selina smiles gratefully at Iryna for the healing. She looks on in concern when the rocks fall on the party.
Nice work there lady of the Dawn. thank you.
turning toward the new gnoll
So you want to be king hey. Well more power to you then. We shall see who does actually end up with his knife into his back
Grim tries to conceal a smile...
Hajar do not forget to make your Reflex save
The party clears the rubble out of the way and you see...
The broad dome crests twenty feet above the floor, supported by stone arches inlaid with glittering fragments of rock crystal. The dome itself is damaged, missing several sections that have been crudely repaired with stretched hides. Beyond the arches, tiled walls square off the outer perimeter of the dome. Set into the floor beneath the dome is an elaborate mosaic of an intertwining sun and moon. The once stunning inlay is badly chipped. Chained to several of the arches hang the half-devoured remains of slain gnolls, their corpses crawling with flies. Most of the bodies are missing the majority of their legs and feet. A single word has been crudely carved into their chests.
Out of the shadows of the corners of this room you hear rumbling then growling then dual Roars as 2 Giant Troglodytes come charging toward you.
Start Round 1!
AC 16, touch 11, flat-footed 14 CMB +10; CMD 22
regeneration 5 (acid or fire)
Yes these are Trolls that look like giant Troglodytes. The first time you harm them you WILL notice they regenerate and you can use your Troll knowledge to deal with that lol.
Round 1. Players go first. My Trolls will go after 4 Actions have been posted or as soon as I can Post.
Kronus crouches on all fours and gives off a distinct growl before shooting off from the ground with the speed of a beast a 1/4 his size. Clearing almost 8 feet vertically before spiraling in the air and raking a feral claw across the Trollodytes eyes.
The nails dig deep into the creatures face and drags downward along its neck and collarbone, through its pectoral and finally ending in its rightmost top abdominal. Kronus challenges the creature right there with this vicious attack.
Acrobatics negates the AoO the troll would get correct?
They are not flat footed as you did not make a sneaky entrance in the slightest lol. So yea it can work for both.
Iryna steps up and points her hand at the other troll-odyte. In accented Kelish, she whispers a prayer and a bolt of fire jumps from her hand towards the monster.
Iryna hits the blue Troll for 5.
Kuralaak slides up next to the Iryna. At blue Troll-glo-thingy:
Sorry about the Gnoll smell, lady. Haven't had time for my puppy bath in a few days.
Selina moves to I11 and shoots a firebolt at the green troll.
Green has taken: 9 Normal 6 Fire damage.
Blue has taken: 11 Normal 5 Fire damage.
Green attacks Kronus with its claws and teeth.
.. ..
Only the bite hits.
Blue Charges Selina and tries to bit her!
.. Crit!
Grim, Raj, and Hajar have round 1 actions. Hajar do not forget to roll your reflex save DC 20 for that trap you set off. 13 damage save for half.
Hajar winces as the rocks hit him.
Seeing the Trolls charge he moves to engage them taking an AoO from a trollodyte.
3/7 LoH used
Round 2
--------
Kronus dodges to the left and right, evading the Trollodytes lumbering arms but takes a mortal wound for its fast-snapping head. As the creature's jaws wrap around Kronus he takes both his claws and attempts to give it alternate breathing holes.. through the neck.. and biting upon its right eye.
The claws sink in and he rips out an artery or two, but notices the wounds somewhat healing but then stop when fire was applied
" Fire seems to.. Stop them! Burn, maim them! "
Spitting up blood after the attack and pulling himself out of it clutches still in the fight but badly wounded.
Round 1
Grim will move forward against blue troll
|
Raj grins as the Selina and Irnya shoot their fire. You know, I think we may have to have a competition! A jet of fire shoots out of his staff and coalesces into a ball, which launches itself at the Trolldolye not being clawed to death by a crazy gnoll.
The miniature rolling sun smashes into it's midriff!
Kuralaak shoots with perfect precision at very non-vital organs on the green troll.
Right here let me summarize here. Give me a sec.
Round 1 summary.
Green has taken: 9 Normal 6 Fire damage.
Blue has taken: 11 Normal 5 Fire damage.
Hajar does 22 to blue so blue 33 normal 5 fire.
Grim does 16 more to Blue. 49 normal 5 fire.
Raj does 9 fire to blue. 49 normal 14 fire.
That's round 1
Kuralaak and Kronus have taken round 2 actions.
Hajar and Grim have AoO's coming and I need to look at regen rules lol.
A creature with this ability is difficult to kill. Creatures with regeneration heal damage at a fixed rate, as with fast healing, but they cannot die as long as their regeneration is still functioning (although creatures with regeneration still fall unconscious when their hit points are below 0). Certain attack forms, typically fire and acid, cause a creature’s regeneration to stop functioning on the round following the attack. During this round, the creature does not heal any damage and can die normally. The creature's descriptive text describes the types of damage that cause the regeneration to cease functioning.
Attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage are not healed by regeneration. Regeneration also does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation. Regenerating creatures can regrow lost portions of their bodies and can reattach severed limbs or body parts if they are brought together within 1 hour of severing. Severed parts that are not reattached wither and die normally.
Blue is staggered and can not regenerate this round. It still gets it's AoO's though.
Kuralaak attacked Blue in round 2 so it's dead at the start of round 2.
AoO on Hajar only Dave bad at rules.
Hajar shouts his warcry
DAWNFLOWER!
and charges the remaining Trollodyte
Green has taken 33 and no fire yet. In round 2.
