Dragonlance: Heroes of a New Age

Game Master Shalafi2412

The Ferver does not apply, it only applies to those who were in the radius of the spell before it was cast.

Anyway first to act is the Disir Shaman. One of the arrows hits him, the other misses as you notice he has some magical armor enhancement that turns aside one of the arrow blows. This Shaman appears to have some bracers of some kind across its arms and its robes have a few extra highlights. Still the attack does attract his ire and he points his claw at Athola .

Going to say this is a "High Priest" of the three Shamen so going to buff him up a bit. Didn't make sense that there wasen't a clear head priest defined in the encounters.

He utters a foul curse from his lips at Athola to afflict her with a blinding sickness. This will be a DC 17 Fortitude save or become permanently blind until cured.

As for the Disir Hybrid, it looks to Gabriel, takes a 5 foot step and attacks him with two claws and also try and grab Gabriel wit its tongue to attempt to pull him towards its gaping maw.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 19 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 19 - 2 = 20
Claw 2: 1d20 + 19 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 19 - 2 = 36
Claw 2 Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 2) + 10 = 17
Tongue Attack versus CMD: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

Ok well here is how the Tongue Attack works. If it successfully hits it transfers the target into its mouth AND inflicts automatic bite damage. This does 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13 damage this round. In addition due to its Hybrid Status its attacks also have Disir Poison. Gabriel is now grappled as well. Next round it can attempt a Swallow Whole attempt. The poison is only a DC 16 Fortitude Save though.

Gabriel deflects the first claw only to have the second slice into him with its foul sharpness. He then gets hit with a foul tongue of the beast that wraps him up and pulls him toward the hideous maw of the beast which bites down on him.

DM, I cast the Blessing BEFORE Athola scouted ahead and we entered this Combat.

First I would like to cast some Buff spells: Bless, Bull Strength for both Jor and Gabriel, Bear's Endurance for Jor and Stunning Barrier for me.
Then turn the Kender invisible, I'll cast Blessing of Fervor and then on our opening Round you cast Fireball and I'll cast Holy Smite... Then we can go from there.

Sometimes the mouth of the beast is not so bad :). Assuming it is evil due to being combined with Disir if not ignore holy damage.

Free: Choose extra attack
Swift: LoH: 5d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 3, 4) + 10 = 31 took 30 damage: Started at 82/85 now at 83/85
Full: Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 20 - 2 = 30
Attack: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 20 - 2 = 30
Attack: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 2 = 30

Damage: 1d8 + 11 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (4, 6) = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 11 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 11 + (3, 5) = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 11 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + (5, 4) = 21

The dark elf will move up and cast Dalamar's Lightening Lance at the Shaman as he activates, as a free action minor synsery, which acts as if Nuitari is in alignment with another moon, getting rid of the -1 caster penalty to CL and saves
RTA 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

You create a crackling lance of lightning that you can hurl at your foes. You must succeed at a ranged touch attack roll to hit. The lance deals 3d6 points of damage from the impact of the strike, plus 1d6 electricity damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). The impact damage is not subject to being reduced by protection from the elements (electricity), spark shield, and similar magic or effects, but the target is entitled a Fortitude save to halve the electricity damage

Lance damage 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6) = 12

Electricity 8d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 6, 1, 3, 2, 5) = 28

Relfex 22

For my blessing for Round 7 I will retain a bonus to AC and Reflex saves.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Oh hell. She is permanently blind now. She is effectively out of combat. Would take the shard out taking swipes in front of her and shifting to be against the pillar.

Can the Tear heal the blindess?

It can although you need 4 charges to do it.

Gabriel frantically slashes at the beast while its Maw bites down stabbing it 3 times with his sword. Foul blood and bile bleeds out of it. Unfortunately he finds that opening wounds in this creature causes it to bleed out acidic fluid all over him. Gabriel takes 6d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 3) = 11 acid damage. His sword likewise would take 2d6 acid damage per hit. I don't think it stacks though so there is no chance of it passing the hardiness of his weapon.

Dragon Hybrid Reflex Save 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

The Hybrid gets struck by the bolt of lightning but evades a good chunk of the damage. He takes 12 bludgeoning and 14 electrical damage though which bypasses his damage reduction as its magical. The creature is clearly hurt badly but its still a massive beast with a lot of physical resistance.

By the way the creature ALSO counts as a Dragon for terms of extra damage for smite so apply any extra damage as appropriate.

As for the Blessing of Ferver, I thought you cast it in the first round of combat. Athola was no where near the party when the spell went off plus she was invisible.

I was attacking the shaman not the monster

As for the Blessing of Ferver, I thought you cast it in the first round of combat. Athola was no where near the party when the spell went off plus she was invisible.

Nope pre-combat. :-)

I didn't smite it, saving last one for possible other big bad though if things look grim when it swallows me we will see :) but it being dragon I assume will make it evil dragon so it will take the holly damage. If blessing was pre combat then this is the last round of it then as it is 8round duration and this was round 7 of combat.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 Forgot to make the fort save above.

Ah ok my mistake, retcannon that it hit the priest. Unfortnately Reflex is is weakest save so the save should have failed and he does take the full 40 damage from the hit.

Not too shabby. Do we have a list of what the Corrupted Tear can do?

Pretty much does the opposite of the good tear. Here is what the corrupt tear does. Currently it has 20 charges and gets 1 charge back at nightfall or all of them if "Blessed" in a church of Chemosh.

1 Charge Powers

Bane
Cause Fear
Inflict Light Wounds

2 Charge Powers

Death Knell
Desecrate
Inflict Moderate Wounds

4 Charge Powers

Animate Dead
Bestow Curse
Inflict Serious Wounds

6 Charge Powers

Enervation
Inflict Critical Wounds
Unholy Blight

8 Charge Powers

dispel good
inflict light wounds, mass
slay living

It casts these spells as a 15th level caster.

You can also spend 10 charges to summon a greater shadow. It can also create unholy water.

Thank you

Terevalis, not a good thing to stand next to Athola as she is swiping around her with the shard randomly. You being evil you have greater chance being struck and taking greater damage.

As for the True Disir he double moves to put himself in combat with Terevalis and Athola.

Round 8

The Disir High Priest touches himself and heals 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 7, 4) + 7 = 23 damage. He then moves behind the massive Disir Hybrid for cover.

The Disir Hybrid will try and maintain the grapple.

Just realized it should have a higher grapple. Being a large sized creature it gets some bonuses and his grapple modifier should have been higher. I also learned that Power Attack does apply to Grapple damage so Gabriel should have taken an additional 4 damage.

Grapple Check: 1d20 + 23 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 23 - 2 = 32

It definitely succeeds. Its not going to swallow Gabriel though. It is going to chew on him though for 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5) + 10 = 20. He will also have to make a poison save.

As for his main action he's going to puke out a steam of acid hitting Gabriel, Althea and Jor.

This does 6d8 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 5, 1, 4) = 24 acid damage. Save DC 20 reflex 1/2 damage.

Seems party kill is on approaching fast....

Athola you worry too much :) GM large size in pathfinder is only a +1 bonus not +4 like in 3.5, he maintains regardless just pointing out.

Round 8 Should be last round

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
With additional damage, total is 48 this round: Started 72 now at 24

"You are more challenging then expected. Kiri-Jolith guide my blade."

Attack: 1d20 + 24 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 24 - 2 = 25
Attack: 1d20 + 19 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 19 - 2 = 31

Damage: 1d8 + 27 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 27 + (5, 5) = 40
Damage: 1d8 + 19 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 19 + (5, 3) = 30

If Creature is still alive Gabriel will Heroic Surge

Attack: 1d20 + 24 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 24 - 2 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 19 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 19 + (3, 2) = 30

Almost forgot poison save again: I'm off to Tampa for the weekend. You guys wrap this up ;) Remember if Gabriel takes 24 or more points of damage next round as an immediate action Hero's Defiance will cast and heal him for 6d6+12

Poison Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

25 Will not hit (It has a buttload of natural AC) but 31 and 35 will. It still is not dead though as its a 16 HD monster (13 base HD for its age category and 3 additional HD for class levels).

Gabriel cuts more into the creature striking with 2 solid blows opening up more wounds on the creature although likewise causing globs of acidic fluid to fall on him inflicting 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 2) = 10 Acid damage. The creature is horribly injured by the assault but still is alive and determined to crunch down on Gabriel before it dies.

How beat up is the creature in front of me?

Round 8

Reflex save 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6 - Alathea screams out in pain as the gas strikes her full blast.

She then Channels Energy to heal herself and her allies, excluding any of the foes from her divine grace. 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 3) + 1 = 9

She is a mess, poor thing.

Round 8

Athola hearing the noise of battle still taking place, unable to see she simply swings jabs the shard to her sides and in front of her.

She does not have blind fighting combat, so not sure how you want to handle the situation.

I think the disir in front of Terevalis is untouched.

Round 8

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 and no damage! Thanks for the ring wohoo

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 48 babbling incoherently

The acid pouring all over but somehow by miracle, Jor is not harmed by it, as he just spins around on his spot and babbles about rainbows and rain

The way blind fighting works is that you can use perception to know where something is and attack the Square they're in through your other senses. Problem is you have a 50% miss chance, they get a concealment bonus to AC and you can't sneak attack. You also have to move at 1/2 speed or be forced to make an acrobatics check or trip.

The normal Disir is untouched at the moment.

My turn correct?

Oki, lets see how the dice roll

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 Looks like a reasonable roll.

Shard attack: 1d20 + 11 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 1 + 4 = 20 Thats is probably still a miss hit even if succeeds 50% miss chance.
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Shard attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 1 + 4 = 21 Probably same result
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

1d100 ⇒ 30

The first swing from blind Athola hits something and a loud grunt of pain is heard. Inflicts 9 damage to the

1d100 ⇒ 90
The second attack misses the creature compleately

Yes Terevalis can go now.

Did the second hit not connect or was it a miss because the kender is blind?

How beat up does the one that Gabriel is fighting look?

The elf will again continue to concentrate, calling upon his dark magic as he takes a 5 ft step away from the threatening disir so he can focus on the larger foes. He casts the last of the lightening bolts associated with the Head of his order as he chants and exults in the glory of his magic.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

DC Reflect is 21

Damage from impact 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6) = 18
Damage from lightening 7d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 4, 1, 6, 2) = 22

Not bad damage, the wizard choose the blessing to help his AC and his reflex

Terevalis chucks a bolt of lightning at the Disir Hybrid striking the toad directly in the forehead.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The bludgeoning blow cracks the skull of the Dragon Hybrid open and then the electrical energy surges through its body, electrifying the toad over its body. The creature drops Gabriel out of its maw and its tongue hands loosely from its mouth. The foul abomination is dead as far as you can tell.

The elf smiles at the effect of his magic.

Hooray. The big brute is gone. Someone is not going to be happy now.

alright dragon down good job Terevalis, and I was withing Alathea's channel so 17hp for me putting Gabriel at 41

The little guys should be easy to take on now.

The True Disir counter-attacks on Athola. Fortunately for her it can't apply sneak attack as Athola does not count as being Flat Footed due to uncanny dodge.

Claw on Athola: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Claw Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw on Athola: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Claw Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite on Athola: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Bite Confirm on Athola: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Bite Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12

21 Damage to Athola and a poison save.

Round 9 Start

Only 2 left right?

Round 9

As Alathea cannot see, she will simply cure herself of some of the wounds she has received.

CLW 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Such great healing powers! LOL

Gabriel, thank for reminding me of 9 HP channel healing.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 ooooo another failed save.

Athola feels the poison from the last attack stiffing her body.

Round 9
HP: 29 / 60

Need to see effect of save failing as it has an impact on her attacks.

Gabriel watches the creature rip into Athola and moves to aid her.

LoH: 5d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 3, 1) + 10 = 23 41 to 64
Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (5, 2) = 18

Gabriel slashes the True Disir cutting a serious wound into the creature. This attracts its ire as it turns on Gabriel.

Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

It fails to cut through Gabriel's armor.

As for the Disir Shaman his eyes go "Buggy" seeing that the Hybrid has been slain. It turns a glace to Terevalis, moves up to him and utters a horrible curse on his lips. He casts Bestow Curse on Terevalis.

Overcome Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

He overcomes the spell resistance. Make a will save DC 17 or be cursed. He'll use the one that makes you roll 50% to take an action.

Is it considered an enchantment effect?

CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S

EFFECT

Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

It is a necromancy spell so no, but the creature still needs to touch me.

Disir Shaman Touch Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

I think that hits Touch AC.

What is the effect of failing the fortitude save against poison?
