Deadly Secret's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Deadly secret

Herra and the Little Brother ran into battle, each selecting a target and set in with tooth and claw gnashing.

Herra Attack, Charge: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Eðla Attack, Charge: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Herra Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Eðla Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Herra charges Goblin 1, Claw; Eðla charges Goblin 3, bite

Remember the Bit of Luck Flo gave you too!

Goblin 1 Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17 and saves.

Herra and Eðla both miss Goblin 1.

Round 2

Goblin 2 attacks Eðla Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 and misses.

Floredana's turn...

Seeing that Cade is moving to protect the man, Flo moves up to him and tries to heal him (and hopefully the dog if it isn't dead dead).

Channel Positive to Heal: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Exclude two enemies that have been damaged already.

"Hurry Cade, get that thing before it gets him!"

Dog is dead dead

Goblin 3 attacks Eðla Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 and misses.

Karga's turn...

A vicious grin splits Kargas' face as his blade bites deep, the force of the blow caving in the goblin's chest and lifting the nasty little creature out of its saddle. His bellow of victory is choked off in a pained curse as its mount turns and clamps its jaws on his leg, just above the knee. As he shakes the creature off it sloughs off a cloud of mange--the particles cause the half-orcs' eyes to water and his throat to burn, and his would seems to be swelling quickly, making it difficult to move that leg.

As the hairless beast snarls at him, Kargas shifts to confront the oversized rat. "You've got quite the bite there, but let's see if you bark!" Not using Power Attack

Falchion attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3) + 9 = 14

Karga's knocks the Goblin Dog unconscious.

Goblin Dog CON: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (2) - 3 = -1 and bleeds out.

Cade's turn...

Cade sees the goblin dog go down and not get back up. He give a nod of thanks to Flo and a simple Thank you My Lady
He moves out and around to flank Goblin 1 with Herra
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
If that hits
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Cade misses.

Goblin 1 5ft steps away and attacks Herra Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 and misses.

Gwestiel turn...

Gwestiel frowns and attempts to put the Goblin to sleep again, DC 16 (using Accursed Hex to let me target the Goblin with the same Hex again)

Goblin 1 Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 and he falls the the ground asleep.

Herra's turn...

Herra gives the dogslicer a contemptuous look and presses the goblin with snaps of his teeth and swipes of claws aimed to disembowel. The Little Brother continues snapping at his foe, hoping to get another meal of goblin flesh.

5ft and Full Attack for Herra, standard attack for Eðla.

Herra Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Herra Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Herra Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Eðla: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Damage Claw 1: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage Claw 2: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

What goblin #

Sorry, Goblin #3 for both Herra and Eðla

Goblin 3 falls to the ground bleeding out.

Round 3

Goblin 2 5ft steps and attacks Eðla Dogslicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 and misses.

Floredana's turn...

Seeing the prone man is no longer in immediate danger, Flo moves towards Little Brother and grants him luck again. He gets to roll all d20's twice and take the higher for 1 round.

Goblin 3 CON: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (6) - 7 = -1 bleeds out.

Karga's turn...

One lowly goblin is all that remains. As the Thunderbird's blessing departs Kargas feels drained and weary, but he moves quickly still, to cut off the goblin's escape. Raising his blade with weary arms, he strikes more to distract than to the kill.

Free Action end rage at start of turn, now Fatigued. Move around to the other goblin Aid Another for +2 to Little Brother's attacks

Aid Another: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6

Alas the small creature is too quick and sees him coming, darting out of the way of his clumsy feint.

Kargas fails to aid.

Goblin Dog CON: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (8) - 4 = 4 continues bleeding.

Cade's turn...

Cade notice the winded look on the half orc. He moves to the south and positions himself behind Goblin 2, flanking with Kargas.
Come on big fella lets end this now and later the first round is on me.
If that is not flanking due to him only aiding another and not attacking then subtract 2 from the AC
Cade will try to grab the attention of the last Goblin

Cade hits with a flank.

Goblin 1 snores.

Gwestiel's turn...

Gwestiel casts her gaze upon one of the Goblins, attempting to send it to the land of dreams.

Slumber, DC 16, Goblin 2.

Goblin 2 Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19 and saves.

Herra's turn...

Herra gives a low hiss and steps into the last standing goblin, ripping in with abandon. The Little Brother begins circling while his teeth snap.

5 ft step for both, full attack for Herra, Eðla does standard attack. Target is Goblin 2

Herra Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Herra Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Herra Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Eðla Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Eðla Bite, Luck 2nd Roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Herra Claw 1 confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Damage Claw 2: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage Bite: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage Eðla Bite: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

By someone your own size I mean them...
Cade points to Herra and LB

Goblin 2 dies a very gruesome death.

Will you kill the sleeping goblin? if so we can leave combat

Kargas will kill off any goblins and goblin dogs that haven't stopped breathing yet. He's very thorough that way.

OK then we can end combat

The man cowering peeks up over his shoulder to see if all the commotion really did stop. He looks to be dressed in noble's clothing. He appears to be tall and skinny.

"Oh thank you heroes for saving me. I thought I was done for." He looks down at his dog with a slight sigh. "That was my best hunting dog."

"Sir, I'm glad to see you are still safe! I'm sorry to hear about your hunting dog, we came as soon as we could."

Remembering her manners, she introduces herself

"My name is Floredana Mandulescu! Are you injured?"

The man stands up tall and smiles softly at Floredana, "It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Aldern Foxglove. No, I am not injured but thank you for asking Floredana." He continues to smile at her.

Gwestiel cast her eye about, staying alert for more trouble.
"Is there a safe place to take you?"

Herra stood from his kill, tail flicking. He cast an eye on the Little Brother as he dove into the fresh meat and hissed at him, at the sound Eðla looked at his master and returned to his meal.

"Elf soft-skin thinks well, we must take you to safety. Find out why little screaming soft-skins attacked." There was hesitance in Herra's voice, though that might have been him savoring the blood on his lips.

When the human pronounces himself unharmed Kargas offers a satisfied grunt in response, tearing a strip of ragged cloth from one of the dead goblins and cleaning the blood from his falchion, before patting down the bodies for any valuables. Standing, he checks about himself for more signs of fighting or other commotions, ignoring the trickle of blood still running from the swollen wound in his leg.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 "Well we're not doing any good standing around here, better find someone with a clearer idea of what's doing on. Hey dandy, who's in charge here and where do we find them?" With a wink at Cade, the half-orc stage-whispers, "Not you, I mean the tall one."

"Oh dear me, I am only a visitor. I came into town to stay for a week on a hunting trip. I'm staying at the White Deer. I do thank you for your kind words and assistance. I will find someone to dispose of my dog." He grins.

You don't hear any more sounds of battle or Goblins.

Gwestiel patted Herra's arm in an odd but friendly manner.
"Thank you, hard-scale, and for your help. Perhaps we should return to the cathedral? Since there are clerics and healers there, anyone hurt might seek shelter there and Goblins might find it appealing to pick off vulnerable, wounded targets."

Flo returns Aldern's smile, "I am sorry you experience such a horrible event during your stay. I hope the rest of it fares better. Have a safe trip back to your inn Mr. Foxglove!"

Seeing Kargas' leg, Flo moves to check it out. "That doesn't look very good. I can heal wounds, but this is beyond my capabilities. I'm part of the church here in town though, I'm sure someone there will be able to help you!"

Does anyone need HP healing? I can fix you up.

Cade gives a slight tilt of his head to the half orc. Smiles up at him and whispers back.
Of course you meant Lord Foxglove, I would not assume you would call me a dandy...

He watches as Flo examines the half orcs wound
Lady Mandulescu, thank you for the healing earlier. It was much appreciated and although it is still a deep bruise, the wound is fine.Cade give her a bow and a sincere smile of thanks.

Cade turns his attention to Foxglove.
Lord Foxglove, I am Cade Goodbarrel and I wish we could have met under better conditions. It would seem that we are off to other parts of the city to lend our blades to those in need. Are you in need of an escort or are you capable of getting yourself home safely?

"Oh yes, I will be just fine. We are actually here." He bids you farewell and gives Floredana a glance and a smile before he walks across the way to the building with 2 white deer statues standing between the door.

Collectively you found for loot: 20 gp, 9 small dogslicers, 1 small mwk horsechopper, 9 small leather armors (if you strip them), 9 small light wooden shields, 2 small studded leather, 2 bottles of liquid.

Kargas still has 5pts of hitpoint damage, the mange effect will go away in a day

When the party is alone again, "Mr. Foxglove is such a nice man, I'm glad we were able to save him from those creatures."

While gently tending to Kargas' wounds, "We can go to the local law enforcement and see what we can learn of this attack."

Cure Light Wounds for Kargas: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Do the bottles detect as magic? Flo will attempt to identify them if possible

Yes they do detect as magical, both are light auras.

"Eh, he seemed alright, if people who lay on the ground when they should be fighting is your thing. Thanks for the patch-up, the Laac-Irgun would be displeased if I marred the spirit script."

Kargas peers over Floredana's shoulder at the small vials. Spellcraft to Identify Aid Another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Rubbing his chin thoughfully, he rumbles possibilities, "Going by the color, could be healing. Dabble a drop on your tongue, if you taste drakeleaf it's probably fire protection...."

Sorry but you can not identify items without "Detect Magic", let alone aid another on such a check if you don't have the spell.

Spellcraft to Identify: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

If Flo is able to uncover anything, she will share it with the party.

Each item requires a check, which item do you want me to use that roll on?

Whichever one is first on your list. Rolling for the second! I'll ask other party members to help me if I fail these checks.

Spellcraft to Identify Potion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

You identify one potion as a Cure Light Wounds Potion and the other is a Cure Moderate Wounds Potion.

"Would anyone like to hold onto one of these?" She says as she waves them in the air. "One is a cure light wounds spell, the other a cure moderate. I would like to hold onto one just in case, but am more than happy to let someone else have them."

Ready to move on whenever. Where would everyone like to go?

Kargas waves off the offer of a potion, confident in his own abilities as a warrior. Feeling a good deal less winded now, the half-orc points his falchion in the direction of the cathedral. "Flor was right, we should check out the cathedral, likely to be people who know what's what over there. Shall we?"

Me lady I would recommend you keep a hold of both for now. I think we need to figure out what has happened and to make sure that this situation is resolved.
