Eberron - Echoes of the Past (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

Gauntlet moves up and swings his fist at the skeleton again!

Slam Attack! Flank?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage(Adamantine): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I was trying to charge the living to begin with

Pink eye as one crossbowman steps too close reaches out and tries to separate him from his life.

aoo: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

also When attacking the living with negative energy I got a 14 to hit as I forgot after all this time the bless I cast, where the entire party got that bless

Appreciative that one of the perks of this small trick is that it did no harm to the Living, Ama continued to move with the group so as to not get separated from the others. As soon as she was in range to affect the undead, she started attempting to do so, trusting the others to keep them from reaching her.

The first shot goes wide, Ama breathing too heavily to aim properly.
________________________________
Disrupt Undead, 30ft range
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Caelan moves forward, then attempts to scramble up the rocky wall of one of the ruined buildings, but he is unable to get purchase.

With a glance in the direction of the battle, I do hope the others are handling that well, Meridian moves further to the north, staying down and behind concealment as much as possible, to set for a flanking maneuver against the men around their objective.

Stelath: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16.

Giving a swift hiss of pain as the crossbow bolt sinks into her left thigh, Xetovia ruefully opts to concentrate her ire upon the one Karrnathi within reach of her sibat as she moves into optimal reach of the foul undead creature.

Attacking nearest skeleton, 1-handed slashing from reach: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11.

Damage to skeleton, potential: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

That AoO was against one of the undead not the X-bowman Pink. Would have been tough to charge at them, you would have taken 2 AoO's from these undead. Still want to do it? It is your action this round then I'll move to the NPC's.

Round 2

Unfortunately Xetovia and Gauntlet struggle with the rubble underfoot and the darkness about both missing a solid hit against the undead foes.

Pink-Eye does crush one in the ribs but the macabre thing still move forward.

---

Erix and Meridian move north while Caelan tries to climb and Ama tries to flank, both do not meet their intended goals though.

I'll allow you to take 10 next round to climb Caelan.

Still Round 2 Combat - Pink-Eye - GO!
The Enemies

no you in that case made the correct call lol

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Turning with a fierce dull the pink of his eyes going red in battle lust as the silver sheened axe swings with a vicious back handed blast.

Caelan manages to get up onto one of the rooftops and, crouching, makes his way south to engage the enemies from the side.

Climbed, moved, next turn.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 2

Pink's strike brings down the first of the foes!

The balance attack once more, the undead with blades though both bounce harmlessly off of Gauntlets armored hide.

Meanwhile, the mortals reload their crossbows.

---

Round 3 Combat -
Pink-Eye, Gauntlet, & Xetovia - GO!
Caelan Action - Climbed Building
The Enemies

-------

Feeling the scratches of their scimitars on his metal skin, Gauntlet shrugs and mechanically swings again.

Slam Attack! Flank?: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17
Damage(Adamantine): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sorry, definitely still here, I've had a crazy last few weeks, working several comic cons, including NYCC this coming week(Wed-Sun).

Upon hearing the guards conversation, Erix decides that perhaps they could help each other out, and goes to offer them as much. "Greetings, I am Erix d'Orien, and it would appear we might have mutual goals, or at least mutual enemies."

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Diplomacy

Meridian slips into a slightly differnet bit of cover and remains silent, ready to engage if the foes attack Erix.

5 foot shift and a readied action to Eldritch Blast if they attack.

Pink Eye swings the axe the opposite direction at the other undead taking a five foot step to get within range of the crossbowmen with his reach if possible while he attempts to blast the undead out of existance.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Making sure to keep someone positioned between herself and the current fight, Ama tried again to help with the skeletons, trusting the others to the rest. Again, her aim was off, and that was not a good thing in this case. A change of tactics seemed like they would be more effective, but helping without hindering was something she would have to be very careful in doing.

Disrupt Undead at the closest skeleton
Ranged Touch@Closest skeleton: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 3

Pink-Eye and Gauntlet crush the undead between them.

Ama you can change your action to attack one of the crossbowmen. Xetovia you are up. I will BOT by the weekend if no one gets a chnce to go.

Then the Enemies go.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

The guards smoothly draw weapons and turn to Erix, "Mutual goals and enemies huh? You with these bastards attacking our men? If so I don't se how we have anything to talk about".

Good roll!

Nah, a miss is a miss. I'm fine with that happening.

The undead having been destroyed by Pink-Eye and Gauntlet cleared up a couple of possibilities, so Ama settled for hindering the remaining opponents. The question was how, as she did not prepare much for their travel, and the others affected too large an area to be safe.
________________________
Delay

Meridian will remain hidden for now, But she is ready to unleash her fire on the men if they attack.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 3

Xetovia steps forward and raises her sand tube, blowing its contents out at the three foes.

The nearest for to the north takes the full brunt of the attack while the other two appear unaffected.

Round 4-
Ama, Caelan, Pink-Eye, Gauntlet, & Xetovia - GO!
The Enemies

Crossbow still in one hand, Gauntlet raises the weapon and fires the held shot still loaded.

5 foot step for a clear shot and firing at the best angle for one of the enemies ahead of us.

MW Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Pink eye growls with menace, bone dust covering his fur as he shakes a moment and with a fierce charge goes at the crossbowman right between them to hamper their shots using his swift action to charge his blade with negative energy.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

negative energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Apologies for the late posting.

Xetovia takes a 5' step to the northwestern most space, leaving another 5 foot gap between her and the nearest living Karrnathi man. Tossing away her spent sand tube, Xetovia attacks with reach at that man (not sure if he's the blinded one or not but regardless, Xetovia will attack him anyways).

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9.

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8.

Erix looks at the guard a bit baffled. "These undead are your men?"

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

"The undead and the sentries serve my superior officer yes. Normally, I'd just run you through but I'll give you a running start this time cause I've had enough fighting the last few days to last me for weeks. Beat it, drag these pals of yours out with you. The Emerald Claw is near to finding what we seek here and we aren't interested in sharing. Got that?"

The other sentry begins to draw his weapon slowly.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 4
Ama & Caelan - GO!
3 Sentries.

Xetovia, Gauntlet, and Pink-Eye are all unable to connect on the sentries loading their crossbows. Luckily, they still have two allies in the fight...

"We aren't interested in what you're looking for, of that I can promise. Can you call off your servants, and we can all just go our separate ways?" 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Diplomacy

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

The sentry holds up and cracks his neck, "I don't make the decisions around here. Hold on". He turns to walk into the building on his right.

Do you or Meridian make a move to stop him? No surprise here but that would begin Initiative for combat.

So we're not getting out of this without a fight? Sigh, I thought my rolls were decent enough to avoid that.

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1

Since the battle location has shifted, Caelan tries to leap to the edge of the ruined building so that he can climb down, but misses the leap, crashes into the wall, and hits the ground hard with blood shooting out of his mouth.

Falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

A few moments later a robed cloaked figure exits the ruined building she turns around and can see the fighting literally right down the lane and then turns back to you Erix. She scowls.

"I can only assume you are with these fools. It is no coincidence I am sure that you arrive as do they here and now. Surrender, have them lay down their arms. Do this and we will not kill all of you. What you seek here is lost to us as we have claimed these ruins".

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 4

Caelan crashes into the ground and is a bit scuffed up.

Ama heads down the lane to get line of sight on the guards and releases an offensive spell.

Magic Missile 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

With the group up close and personal the closest two guardsmen drop their crossbows and draw their flails to attack Pink-Eye! Both flails fail to connect against the powerful Minotaur.

While the one in the back fires his crossbow at Xetovia. His bolt smacks into a piece of rubble next to the Vampire Hunter.

Round 5
Ama, Caelan, Pink-Eye, Xetovia, & Gauntlet
The 3 Guards.

With his line-of-sight blocked, Gauntlet drops the now useless crossbow, then moves to start a flank upon one of the Karnathi.

He then reaches out with both hands to...nothingness...and CREATES. Shadows and dust coalesce into a greatsword, flat-black and sharp as a razor.

+1 Mindblade (Greatsword) = cost 3 pts from pshychic pool

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

negative energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Pink Eye steps left then right doing a dance he likes to think of as Battle. He then lifts his axe and swings down and in and it sticks right in the man in front of him, the dark energy of his God's blessing burning into the man at the same time.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Round 5
Ama, Caelan, & Xetovia - GO!
The 2 Guards.

Between force missile and axe, the first guardsman falls!

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23.

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25.

Caelan stands, wipes the blood from his mouth, and takes a wild swing around the corner.

Mithral longsword attack, around hard corner: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 6

The force missile was a certain hit and that was good, but now its absence had to be factored in to the possibilites that she was accounting for. With everyone engaged, she was not certain enough of her aim to be confident that she would not hit anyone, and the spells she had remaining did not discriminate against who got hit. Since there was enough of an advantage, she felt that holding on until she was certain would not be detrimental.
_______________________________
Holding action until the other guard is not engaged, then will fire a Ray of Frost.
Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16, Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25.

Apologies for the double-posting; please disregard that second attack-roll in the second post. For some reason, neither posts were visible to me on the message boards when I was online last time.

I've had the same problem. Refreshing the page before trying again usually reveals the hidden post(s).

Definitely will have to keep that tip in mind, ty. :)

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

Sent a PM to Erix. Meridian, you are not seen and can take a surprise round if you so choose.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Though Caelan misses his intended target Xetovia and Ama bring sthe next foe to his face with Melee and Magic.

The final guard drops his weapon, "You are surrounded and outnumbered. Beat it and you'll live. The Claw has little mercy for foes..."

Combat Over!

You all see Erix standing before two guards and what appears to be a Leader, whether he is negotiating or captured it is hard to tell. Certainly the guards dealing with freed horses will be distracted for a bit longer but how long is not clear.

Actions?

His sword no longer needed, he let's it return to the nothing from whence it came.

He then retrieves his crossbow, reloads, and watches intently as the others negotiate. He speaks to Pink-Eye.

"We should be wary while we wait. This could devolve quickly."

Caelan keeps his sword at the ready, just in case the situation changes. "Right - well, let's give it a minute and see what happens," he says in response to Gauntlet's comment.

Due to the issues with the missing notification dot letting you know you had a new PM, I missed the initial one the GM sent me. Thankfully, that problem has now been resolved. Sorry guys!

"If we surrender, will you take us captive, or let us leave?"

Though surprised by Erix's words, Meridian will bide her time a bit longer. She holds the fire within for now, ready to unleash it the moment diplomacy fails.

The Rose Quarry - Twenty Seventh Day of Dravago

Erix & Meridian

"Why, take you prisoner of course? I am no fool. Then we shall discuss why you and your little band have come here. Perhaps thereafter a bargain can be struck".

---

Rest of the Party, make Perception checks DC 15 to listen in to this conversation as they are not exactly close by and the whinnying of horses and shouts from the south are a bit loud.

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
