Death-Lok's Age of Worms Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Death-Lok

"I'm ready now, can't give him time to prepare more. "

and on his turn he will move to where he understands the Ghaele to be to attack.

Kaydanna will expend another fervor to heal herself as a swift action and then take a total defensive posture before the next fight...
Fervor Heal: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 6) = 18

"ready Pyhrrus. Clear the fog. "

Dazl summons another charge of dominance to stun the remaining former angel.

Channel Rulership (Weal), using Selective to just hit the angels. DC 28 Will or be Dazed for one round.

Summary of Round 4:
Ravarel burned archon with scorching rays
Kelva cast a spell
Siggut full attacked and dropped archon
Kaydanna healed herself and went total defense
Pyrrhus completed his summoning spell that he started the previous round and then he dispels the fog cloud
Dazl channeled energy to daze again:
Kelva's Will save: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 4 = 36...success!

Now that the fog is gone, you see the female Azata is now 10' feet tall with muscles bulging and holding her greatsword. She looks disappointed that the archons are dead. She especially looks with fury at the witch doctor who tried to daze her.

Pyrrhus' summoned creatures (I don't know what you summoned) may act, but they are not adjacent to the ghaele so no full attacks. Then Ravarel is up to start Round 5. I will update map once I know summoned creatures and their actions.

with the Azatas strong saves and SR Rav would rather buff his allies than cast a spell that will fizzle out. Siggut doesn't want Enlarge. . So how about Kaydanna?

"Kaydanna do you want me to make you as big as her? "

If Kaydanna says yes I will cast Enlarge from my wand. If she says no, I will Enlarge one of Pyhrrus's summoned Monsters IF they are humanoid. If not I will delay my action thinking that Siggut Kaydanna and the summoned Monsters will be able to take down the Azata.

Kaydanna will refuse right now since she does not have the health to soak damage and one hit at a reduced AC could prove fatal for her. Maybe next time.

Pyrrhus will summon a dire tiger and with his move action he will direct his previously cast aqueous orb spell and try to entangle the Azata.

Aqueous Orb: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 Reflex DC 23 to negate. Another save is required or target is entangled

A dire tiger appears in the room, his saber tooth fangs ready to attack. It charges forward and pounces the Azata, trying to grab it with his bite and then rake once more with his potent claws.

Attack (Claw #1), charge: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 2 = 31
Damage (Claw #1): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12
Grab (Claw #1): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27

Attack (Claw #2), charge: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 2 = 26
Damage (Claw #2): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15
Grab (Claw #2): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

Attack (Bite), charge: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 2 = 41
Damage (Bite): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 5) + 10 = 18
Grab (Bite): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40

Rake (Claw #1): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24
Damage (Claw #1): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 10 = 16

Rake (Claw #2): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Damage (Claw #2): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15

Critical Attack? (Bite), charge: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 = 32
Critical Damage? (Bite): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6) + 10 = 19

After any attack hits the dire tiger gets a free grab. If a grab is confirmed, he takes -2 to attack since he is grappled but the target also gets -2 to AC (-4 to DEX) so it is moot. If a grab is confirmed, it can make two free rake attacks. The bite was a critical threat and I rolled it in the end since if I rolled it after the proper attack I'd be modifying the other results but I thought it was better to check with you: I confirm just after the attack or at the end of the post?

AoO vs. Tiger: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Damage: 3d6 + 29 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 29 = 35

Kelva strikes a blow as the summoned tiger charges. The creature's attacks are deflected except for the bite, but she shrugs off the beast before it can lock on.

Damage taken: 8

Ravarel is up in new round.

Posting from my phone so keeping it brief.

I'm inclined to not cast any more spells and save resources at this time. I'm Confident that the combination of Siggut Kaydanna and the Dire Tiger can handle this foe. I only have one possible spell that I can cast now in this situation, Scorching Ray (my last one). Sorry DL if this is metagaming too much but I want to know how my teammates want me to handle this situation and similar ones in the future. Would my teammates like me to cast my last Ray or save resources for upcoming fights? I purchased the Enlarge wand for situations like this where I wanted to conserve spells but still wanted to contribute an action, but I understand everyone's reasons for not wanting that.

That seems reasonable. Siggut is made to be mostly without expiration (except when all the blood comes out). He can keep going all day (though without support, that won't really work).

So I don't hold things up any further

Ravarel takes no action this round other than keeping a safe distance and continuing to scan the area for other threats, confident that his allies can defeat the Azata without using any more of his precious spells

Kelva looks with disdain at the witch doctor and gripping the unholy symbol on her armor, casts dark magic, provoking AoO from Dire Tiger.

Dire Tiger AoO: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21...miss!

Black fire appears from the Ghaele's hands and streams forward and engulfs Dazl.

Fort save please, Dazl. With your limited Spellcraft knowledge, you have no idea what spell she just cast at you.

Fort 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Not posting anything else since I don't know the DC, or if the spell will take me out on a failed save.

The black fire does not consume the oracle's remains, much to the ghaele's dismay. Instead Dazl only takes 10d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 4) = 22 damage. The party is up.

Siggut will move up and attack.

haste, power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 24 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 24 - 4 + 1 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 Not optimistic

Kaydanna will spend a swift action to herself again...Fervor: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 1) = 12... and then move to strike at the remaining foe

BS1+PA+FF: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 = 20...DMG: 1d10 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 2 = 28

if she only needed to take a 5 ft step she will full attack as well..
BS2+PA: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28...DMG: 1d10 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 2 = 25

AoO on Siggut: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23...miss!
No Combat Reflexes so no AoO on Kaydanna.
Both Siggut and Kaydanna's attacks miss.

Updated Combat Map

Dazl, Pyrrhus, and Ravarel are up.

DM... I think your missed part of Pyrrhus last action... he used his move action to target Kelva once more with his Aqueous Orb and I intend to do so once more this turn if she escaped from it but I need this info to know what else I'll do!

Yes, I missed it. My bad.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 4 = 21..fails. takes 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9 NL damage
Reflex save: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 4 = 22...fails
She is engulfed in the orb, gains cover against attacks, and is entangled.
On her round, she would have tried to escape it and does.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 4 = 26
So nothing unchanged.
Dazl channels to Daze the ghaele again. 7 channels used up.
Kelva's Will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34...success

Pyrrhus and Ravarel are up.

Just to make sure, being entangled and taking -4 to Dex, would not mean that the tiger hit another attack or grab, right?

No, P, she has Freedom of Movement on, so the grab is not going to work. Also her AC is in the 30s so no tiger attacks affected.

unless someone yells out "fireball her (selective) " Ravarel will continue conserving spells.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Pyrrhus saw as the tiger managed to lock the Azata but it somehow escaped.

"Enough with all this unholy magic... back to natural as the world itself..."

Pyrrhus focus on all the mystical auras around the enemy and tries to destroy them.

Casting Greater Dispel Magic. This will be able to dispel up to 3 spells affecting the Azata, starting with the highest level. According to the CL check, this will affect spells with a Caster Level up to 17th with no save or SR.

Caster Level check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

The tiger once more, as instructed, attacks the Azata.

Attack (claw#1): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32
Damage (claw#1): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14
Grab (claw#1): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31

Attack (claw#2): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Damage (claw#2): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13
Grab (claw#2): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (17) + 25 = 42

Attack (bite): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31
Damage (bite): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12
Grab (bite): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (12) + 25 = 37

Rake (claw#1): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
Damage (claw#1): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14

Rake (claw#2): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
Damage (claw#2): 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 10 = 16

Pyrrhus' magic works, as the ghaele shrinks in size to her natural medium state and strips away other magic as well. However, in her natural form, she is more agile and she evades all of the tiger's attacks or they bounce off her armor.

Summary of Round 5:
Ravarel conserved his arcane power
Kelva escaped the druid's orb and cast Destruction at Dazl, who survived
Siggut moved up and attacked but missed
Kaydanna healed and moved up and attacked but missed
Dazl channeled to Daze
Pyrrhus cast Greater Dispel and debuffed the enemy; his tiger missed on all of its attacks.

Round 6:
Seeing herself surrounded by 3 enemies and debuffed, the intelligent angel decided to change her tactics. She casts magic and vanishes from sight. Siggut and Kaydanna feel her moving in front and then above you, invisibly, but due to concealment, you do not get AoOs. Then you no longer feel her adjacent to you.

Cast spell Defensively: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 4 = 28 vs. DC 23...succes

Party is up!

Kaydanna will expend a warpriest blessing of Good from her patron Mayheine to make her sword Holy and swing at the foe...

BS1+PA+FF: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18...DMG: 1d10 + 19 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 19 + (6, 6) = 39

BS2+PA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10...DMG: 1d10 + 19 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 19 + (1, 1) = 22

and horrible....

AC is still 33 and Aura of Protection is still up

Perhaps you did not understand, Kaydanna. The enemy turned invisible and flew above you and now, you have no idea where she is.

Thinking of what he would do when surrounded by vicious attackers. turn invisible and attack the vulnerable MAGE

Rav casts Emergency Force Sphere around himself (immediate action )

one Glitter dust spell available. But need for the Azata to reveal it's location first

-Posted with Wayfinder

Siggut has nothing against invisibility so he goes full defense. Kaydanna, Dazl, or Pyrrhus.....ya got anything??? Did I find the party's Achilles heel the second fight in? :)

anyone got Invisibility Purge?

I was planning on making See Invisibility(along with other permanent spells) permanent once Rav get's 5,000gp, but obviously that's too late to help here.

Kaydanna has no way of discovering their whereabouts...looks like you did find the gap in out team

Pyrrhus can also cast faery fire but we still have to determine the approximate location of the enemy... GM, please take a look at the scent possessed by the summoned dire tiger, specially the second paragraph. According to it, the dire tiger should be able to determine it's location if the enemy is within 30 ft. So if the tiger did not detect him (what is unlikely unless since his scent covers about half the map), would it be possible for the tiger to come to the center of the room, detect the azata and then Pyrrhus cast Faery Fire?.

Sorry, gastro's a b!*#&

Dazl concentrates. "By the twilight's shadow, be stripped of your path!" He waves a hand, following Pyrrhus' direction if necessary.

Dispel Magic, area dispel, CL check 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

The dire tiger backs out of the room 30 feet, sniffing the ground and then sniffs the air above him and growls.

Pyrrhus, Dazl, and Ravarel are up. Dazl, Dispel magic does not have an area dispel; only greater dispel magic has that option.

Rav uses 1pt from his Arcanist Reservoir to activate

cool

Tch, my bad. I'll hold my action until everyone else acts and maybe lights him up.

If Ravarel was able to make the enemy visible, Pyrrhus will cast air walk on Siggut. If not, he will cast Faery Fire.

Ravarel's spell's particles adhere to the figure of the ghaele, outlining her invisible form, and you notice she is 15' in the air, above the dire tiger.
Will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32...she is not blind.

Dazl is up.

More than 24 hours have passed so Dazl delays...

Round 7:
Kelva screams out, flying in the air, "This is not over...I will have your hides!" She then casts magic and teleports away.
Defensive casting: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35vs. DC 29

What does the party do in Round 7?

The teleports away part... she teleported in somewhere we are able to see or is more like she vanished? If so, I think combat is over, right?

"it's gone... But be wary. She could teleport back in with reinforcements at any time. "

Rav then examines the archons bodies searching for magic

Detect Magic
Spellcraft : 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30Perception : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

"Nasty bunch that. "

Pyrrhus, I like Ravarel's idea of reinforcements, so let's stay in round time. :)

woah woah woah... My paranioa is not supposed to be a self-fulfilling prophecy

-Posted with Wayfinder

Lol...I was thinking it anyway....

as a move action Rav will sacrifice a 4th lvl spell to regain 4pts in his Arcane Reservoir now=4/14

"Shall we ensure these fallen are indeed fallen?" Kaydanna asks pointing to the Archons.

If still in combat she will move back towards the Archons this round

"Hrm." Dazl staggers over to Kaydanna and washes pink light over him.

Cure Mod, 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (8, 8) + 12 = 28

"You have my thanks newcomer. I believe we may need to seek shelter and rest for a time being."
