Euan's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Allarnon turns to Kaylayne and Dimitrio. "I can send him out there but I will need to call him back once he gets noticed. Otherwise he will fight whatever is up there all on his own."

Allarnon is ready to assist if no other ideas. "I can harden his flesh in case he is attacked by whatever he draws."

Allarnon turns to Kaylayne and Dimitrio. "I can send him out there but I will need to call him back once he gets noticed. Otherwise he will fight whatever is up there all on his own."

"No Layne. I remember what you did with Garridan last time but that was different. We don't want to split up the group now."

He turned to bear-man, "There's no need for it to fight anyone. We just need it to draw their attention and then just meld into the woods. That should be enough for us to sneak into the building. The bear can circle back later."

He looks at the bear, "Er... is that too difficult to convey?"

"I can try. His commands are much simpler than all of that you see. He will understand if I ask him to attack something specific or even to guard an area." Allarnon brushes next to Tarkir as he nuzzles the top of his head into the crook of his neck.

"Guard over by the set of trees over there Tarkir. Wait a moment and circle back around to us through this door." Allarnon points at the set of trees and then to the door with a clawed hand.

Handle Anima: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 4 = 25

Releasing Tarkir, the bear bounds towards the western portion of the building, loudly trampling through the woods, uplifting small saplings and large swathes of undergrowth as he wads through the thick brush.

"We should move quickly."

OK, so Tarkir is going to try and draw their fire, while you lot charge the doors? Just confirming that's the plan. With Paizo particularly flakey today I'll post in the morning, but do let me know if that's not the plan. :)

I believe that to be the plan, GM Evilan.

When Allarnon indicates, Kaylayne will sneak forward toward the doors.

1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17 Stealth-Unless otherwise noted, all of Kaylayne's stealths will be half speeds.

Should we be making more noise as to draw more attention to ourselves to allow other groups to succeed? More noise to add to the chaos?

Kaylayne ponders as she slinks.

Shouldn't there be more noise from other assault teams? Or is everyone quiet all the time, among elves?

OK, so Tarkir is going to try and draw their fire, while you lot charge the doors? Just confirming that's the plan. With Paizo particularly flakey today I'll post in the morning, but do let me know if that's not the plan. :)

With Tarkir hopefully drawing their attention, we will try to 'sneak' (not charge) into the building.

"I will try to be quiet: Allarnon whispers.

As Tarkir crashes through the woods Allarnon follows closely behind Kaylayne and Dimitrio as he attempts to be as quiet as possible.

Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Allarnon snaps every twig in his path on the way to the building

Tarkir rushes forward through the underbrush and breaks through the tree-line heading southwest to draw fire away from the party. But draw fire he does, as two drow pop up and shoot at the lumbering beast with their hand crossbows.

drow on Tarkir: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4) = 8 (fire)
drow on Tarkir: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4 (and a DC 13 Fort save or fall unconscious)

The second die roll of the first shot is fire as the bolt explodes in a small, but powerful, alchemy fire. It goes out almost as soon as it starts, but it burns none the less. The second shot, by a different drow, is the usual poison…

The rest of the party starts creeping up to the doors when Allarnon steps on what must have been a small tree, and snaps it in half. Sure you’ve been heard, the rest of the party rushes toward the building.

it’s 60’ of ‘open’ but difficult terrain. I’m going to rule that Allarnon made noise early in the process and that set you all double moving toward the door (no real stealth as you were already blown). I’ve put you on the map in accordance with that plan.

As you close, you see two drow at the edge of the roof, reloading hand crossbows and looking toward Allarnon clambering to the doors below them.

-Round 1-
Ederin - 24
Dimitrio - 18+
Kaylayne - 18-
Lief - 15
Allarnon - 13
Tarkir - 13 (-4hp)
Good Guys - 8

Now up, everyone!

Dimitrio looks at his new ring of fire and at the drow. Why not?

Eager to try the new powers he lines up his fist and wills the power forth. A thin ray, yellowish red in color, shot through the air towards the drow.

__________
move and then fire
ranged touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4) = 13

Cringing as each branch snaps Allarnon looks back bashfully. His head snaps to Tarkir's direction as the bear makes a sound of pain.

"TARKIR COME!" He bellows "Find cover"

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 4 = 28

Tarkir quickly turns back and bounds back towards the group as quickly as he can while Allarnon closes his eyes and begins to growl. The rumble from his growl begins to increase in intensity as a small storm cloud begins to form overhead.

Round 1, Init 24

"I'll hand the ones on the roof, get those doors open!" Ederin shouts as he fires four arrows as the enemies above.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 2 - 2 = 24

Not sure how high the roof is. +1 to all results if close enough for pbs

Round 1, Init 18-

"I'll hand the ones on the roof, get those doors open!" Ederin shouts as he fires four arrows as the enemies above.

"No. Too late, they are on us too quickly. Let's kill them first!" Kaylayne countermands as she throws stones at whatever drow she sees.

1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 2 = 12 to hit; (rapid)
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 damage.

1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 = 7 to hit; (rapid)
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 damage.

-4 if they have cover which I suspect they do.

Round 1, Init 15

Lief flicks a formulae down his throat, bringing his familiar barrier to bear against the drow Cast Shield. Then another, bringing his crew unbelievable speed Cast Haste.

With both things in place before covering the distance to the Library of Dust, Lief listens to Ederin, advancing on the door, and examining it for ease of entrance. Should it be locked, he produces his tinkering tools, and attempts to unlock the door.

Perception, Traps?: 1d20 + 14 + 1d8 ⇒ (9) + 14 + (3) = 26
Disable Device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Allarnon, you forgot to roll a fort save for Tarkir vs the Drow poison.
Tarkir Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Ederin drops one and wings the other as the party closes with the building. Dimitrio tries to tag him with his ray, but the cover from the edge of the roof is enough to make him miss (as is the high dex of the target). Kaylayne also has trouble finding her mark as she throws a pair of rocks at the drow. Lief prepares himself, and then the party, as he rushes the door. Once there he looks for traps and does not find any. Even hasted he does not reach the door in one round so he’s out of actions after looking for traps and has not yet started on the door (move to close, move to search for traps). Allarnon calls Tarkir back and he returns, having resisted this dose of drow poison. Allarnon begins to cast a spell.

Two more drow can be heard on the roof, and Allarnon can see them over the edge as they shoot him, trying to stop his, they presume, summons. The other shoots Ederin before also stepping back from the edge. (Ederin and others, to shoot them you’ll need to move 15’ or so away from the building to get an angle where you can see them.)

drow on Allarnon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2) = 4 (fire)

Now up, everyone!

There's a line on the map. To the right, you can see and target (with cover) the drow on the roof. To the left, you cannot see nor target the drow (nor can they see/target you). The roof is just 15-20' up so point blank applied last round.

Dimitrio looks at his new ring, "Aw, c'mon. It's not supposed to be that hard, right?"

He steps away from the building to get a shot at the drow on the roof. Once more, a thin ray sped to its target, leaving the bard's ring finger slightly warm.

He yells at Lief, "Lief, don't go in there by yourself!"

__________
move and then fire at injured drow if possible

Round 2, Init 18-

Kaylayne targets the green drow, hurling stones with rapid abandon.

1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 4 to hit; (rapid, haste, cover)
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage.

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 damage.

1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 14 to hit; (rapid, haste, cover)
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 damage.

Round 2, Init 15

Lief doesn't bother looking over his shoulder, as he continues to assess the doors. "I'm only trying to make an entrance for us all, Dimitrio. I'll gladly wait for everyone to enter, all at once. Unless we're alright taking fire from above. I hope there's a way up to the roof once we're inside."

If the door appears locked, unaware of any traps, he begins working on it, hoping to make easy work of it.

Disable Device?: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

If the door is unlocked, and simply requires opening, he does so. If the door is stuck, he pulls on the door.

Strength Check: 1d20 ⇒ 6

The door opens easily, and you can see into the chamber beyond on Lief's init. So Allarnon can see before his init and everyone else after theirs.

Lief pulls out his Grand Light Ioun Stone, and waits to enter the Library.

Round 2, Init 24

Ederin curses as a bolt bounces off his breastplate and he moves back to get a better view of the drow above, taking up position behind Allarnorn. He fires a single arrow at whichever drow is closest.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Tarkir finishes running beside Allarnon just as his spell completes. A blinding flash erupts in the air just above followed by a thunderous crack as a searing bolt of lightning strikes the drow on the roof.

Call Lightning Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) = 9

DC 16 Reflex for Half

Peering past Lief into the room Allarnon notices movement. "Careful! Something is moving inside."

"Tarkir Guard him." Allarnon waves a massive paw in Lief's direction.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 4 = 18

Ederin backs off to line up his shots, but misses his target. Dimitrio lines up the injured drow and connects though the drow seems to resist the magics and the attack does no damage (SR). Kaylayne hurls a few stones and would have hit if it weren’t for cover. Lief flings open the door easily and brings out his grand light source. Allarnon summons lightning hitting the wounded drow.

For future reference, all drow have spell resistance. You can make the roll or I will if you forget.
SR: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Yeah, sorry about that... The spell sizzles on the injured drow.

Someone on the roof swears undercommon as their darkness spell fails to block Lief’s light. There is some darkness to the east, but none where Lief’s stone shines (no effect on this combat I think so I’m not going to draw all the various light/dark bits on the map for now).

The other two line up their shots and do what they can to pin down the spell caster - Dimitrio!

drow on Dimitrio: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (3) = 6 (fire)
drow on Dimitrio: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 (and a DC 13 Fort save or fall unconscious)

Meanwhile, spiders pour from the webbing and charge at Lief (not a swarm, three giant spiders (medium), scurry along the walls and ceiling at you). One stops to throw a web around Lief while the other two attack!

Spider webbing on Lief: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 - Lief is ‘grappled’. Standard action (escape artist or strength check) to get free.

Spider on Lief: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 and DC 14 fort save or lose Strength: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Spider on Lief: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 and DC 14 fort save or lose Strength: 1d2 ⇒ 1 (hit?)

Now up, everyone!

There's a line on the map. To the right, you can see and target (with cover) the drow on the roof. To the left, you cannot see nor target the drow (nor can they see/target you). The roof is ~20' up.

Poisoned bolts raining from above was too much, "This s*#& is ridiculous. We either take them out or go inside!"

The bard once more looks at his new ring to see if something good comes out of it. "Last time this sucked so one more chance..."

He sent two rays at the wounded drow above.

"Hang on kid! Somebody help him inside."

SR: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

DC 16 Reflex for Half

Spinning around Tarkir charges in the room next to Lief and bites at the green spider. Tarkir's massive body pushes against Lief in the narrow doorway.

Bite: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Round 3, Init 24

The power of Lief's haste spell gives Ederin enough speed to fire a small cloud of arrows at the drow on the roof.

Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 11

Ederin and Dimitrio manage to drop the injured one though a joint effort while Allarnon weakens a fresh one. Tarkir bites a spider nearly in half, though it lingers to strike back, if Lief does nothing to it. :)

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Round 3, Init 15

Fortitude Save v DC 14: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Lief plucks another bead from his necklace, tossing it against the opposite door, hoping to involve not only the three spiders visible, but any others waiting in the wings. Shouldn't injure himself nor Tarkir

Fireball: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 3, 4) = 15 Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage

Round 3, Init 18-

Kaylayne targets the remaining drow and moves up closer to the door.

1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 16 to hit; (rapid, haste, cover)
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 damage.

Ederin launches a barrage of arrows to the roof, but lady luck does not smile on him and he only hits once wounding the drow further. Dimitrio also manages to hit once kiling him outright. Kaylayne just misses with her stone as she moves up. Lief launches a fireball in the entry chamber to devastating effect! Many webs burn as do the spiders in them. Allarnon calls lighting from the sky wounding a drow as Tarkir bites into a bitter spider killing it.

There's a line on the map. To the right, you can see and target (with cover) the drow on the roof. To the left, you cannot see nor target the drow (nor can they see/target you). The roof is ~20' up.

Looking at Lief fighting up front by himself, Dimitrio yells back, "Shorty, Layne, take care of the drow up top; I'm going to help out Lief."

He takes out his rapier and runs to Lief, "Kid, get back. Let me at them!"

holding action, hoping Lief moves back and let's me engage the spiders in melee. I'll post an action later if available

Round 4, Init 18-

Kaylayne shakes her head staring at the roof and the now open doors. As she shakes, she sees another shape up with drow, a ghostly, dead Kaylayne walking and beckoning to her.

You? What do you want?

Kaylayne looks around near her, and sees Allarnon. Her eyes go wide.

Oh.

"Here, take him!" Kaylayne says, and jaunts Allaranon to the roof, next to the archer(s).

Round 4, Init 24

Gonna need to pull out a new quiver soon. Ederin thinks to himself as he fires another barrage of arrows at the roof, his accuracy suffering from his haste.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 14

Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 9

Ederin connects once with the wounded drow who drops. Allarnon faces one remaining drow on the roof, as yet uninjured.

Allarnon's eyes go wide as his legs swing all about around him. "What are these foul drow doing?"

His legs finally connect with the roof as he begins to panic.

I am not used to such heights...

His chest heaves as his eyes refocus on the lone drow in front of him.

Bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Claw2: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Back inside the building Tarkir mindlessly follows Allarnon's commands and continues to maul the spiders within. Target Orange first Tarkir pounces on top of the spider like a cat hunting a mouse.

Bite: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 = 14

Ederin connects once with the wounded drow who drops. Dimitrio helps Lief get clear of the webs. Kaylayne displaces Allarnon though he reappears a moment later on the roof, safe and sound. Lief, with Dimitrio’s help, gets clear of the webs. Allarnon finishes off the last drow on the roof while Tarkir finally gets the best of the already cooked spiders.

We are, barely, out of initiative.

Dimitrio uses minor magic to help Lief get rid of the sticky webbing. He gives the bloodied bear a wide berth; it is hard to know how some animals react.

With that in mind, he turns to ask the bear-man to call off his bear but does not see him, "Layne, where's the bear-man?"

"Everybody OK?"

later
The bard then steps inside the building and inspects the room past the doorway.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Allarnon? You there?" Kaylayne calls up, hopefully without having to be too loud. "Toss down the drow bodies and bows, won't you? And see if there is a way down..." Kaylayne asks before realizing she is being stupid.

She climbs up after Allarnon and tosses down the bodies to Ederin and Dimi.

"Might have some arrows for you, Ederin."

She will see if she can easily see a hatch or ladder down inside the building.

Fortitude Save v DC 16: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 HP 31/38

Lief pats Dimitrio on the shoulder, the last thick strand of webbing coming loose from his upper thigh. He moves to Ederin's side. Looking up, he waves off casual throwing of bodies.

"Careful!! The drow have explosive bolts of some kind!! We can use them!!"

He gathers up whatever hand crossbow ammunition he can, then joins Dimitrio at the door to investigate the interior without as much venom.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 14 + (8) = 27

Allarnon grabs ahold of the drow bodies in his teeth. Twisting his head he hurls each of the bodies over the edge of the roof.

Stepping to the edge he peers down. "Yea, I am alright. Here are the dark skinned elves." The bodies thud into the overgrown ground below. Crumpling in awkward positions.

Looking around he doesn't see a lot of ways down for a bear and drops from the building.

He looks back to Kaylayne. "You see a way down?"

Down below Allarnon can still hear Tarkir tearing into the spider's bodies. Ichor quickly spreads all over the bears fuzzy face.

Lief hisses up at the reckless bears on high. "At least remove the bolts from the bodies before you toss them!!" The young man hopes they hear reason.

"They were shootin' bolts but if they got arrows I'll take 'em. Almost down to the expensive ones." Ederin stands where he is until the bodies have been tossed down, just in case anything explodes. Once landed he'll sort through their belongings looking for anything they can use.

"We supposed to signal the elves or meet them somewhere else? Damned if I can remember?"

"I don't think we're done here, Ederin. There is more to this building, I think." Kaylayne waits for the bodies to be looted while scouting from the roof.

She enchants 6 more magic stones, sighing at how often she missed.

This has not been my war yet. I have yet to do anything except puke. And that was on myself.

At the sound of falling bodies and potential loot, the bard backtracks and helps his companions with searching the drow.

Looking quizzically at the bear-man up on the roof, Dimitrio shrugs his shoulders and gets back to the dead drow.

At Ederin's question, he adds, "We're supposed to clear out the building. They said the army would be coming in about an hour behind us and then we fall back to base camp. Is that what you all remember? Lief, did you write anything down?"

after looting, Dimitrio goes inside; see post above.

Lief points at the Library. "This is it. We need to secure this building, nothing more. The army will eventually pass us by."

He gathers what he can from the fallen drow, then enters the Library through the hard-won double doors.

Seeing no easy way down Allarnon creeps to the edge of the building. After a few false tries he finally leaps into the soft underbrush.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Fall damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 59/67 hp

Shaking it off he walks in beside the still feasting younger bear. "Come Tarkir." he says calmly.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 = 26

Tarkir quickly releases the mangled corpse and rushes beside Allarnon and begins sniffing around the area. "Did you find any of those poisoned arrows you spoke of?"

"This is it. We need to secure this building, nothing more. The army will eventually pass us by."

"Let's be done with this before another patrol shows up." Allarnon follows Lief through the doors.

There is a rope ladder that can be lowered, though I’m not completely sure a large bear could climb it easily. Not worried about it though as you could always wear the spider climbing boots briefly to get down because magic. :)

You find a half dozen of the fire crossbow bolts (do an additional d4 fire damage one time) and 4 more of the poisoned ones. Also several more normal bolts - but no arrows for Ederin. You also find four potions of cure light wounds and miscellaneous other gear. Oh, one of the soldiers was wearing a mithral chain shirt. Might want to keep that…

While the party is going through the loot however, the double doors to the south open, revealing a cluster of drow. A tall woman in the back looks at your picking over the bodies of her brethren. ”Ahhh, I see the elves have resorted to mercenaries. Truly they must be desperate” she sneers. She wears full plate and carries a heavy shield.

She none the less casts a spell, and a shimmering whip appears in thin air and snaps at Allarnon.

Whip on Allarnon: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The green drow levels a hand crossbow at Tarkir and shoots!
Crossbow on Tarkir: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21 damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5, 1) = 10 (and a DC 13 Fort save or fall unconscious)

Kaylayne may act now in the surprise round, and then again on her initiative.

-Round 1-
Ederin - 24
Dimitrio - 22
Lief - 16
Kaylayne - 15
Good Guys - 13
Allarnon - 12
Tarkir - 12 (-10hp, fort save)

Next up Kaylayne (surprise round), then everyone (including Kaylyane again) except Allarnon/Tarkir.

Tarkir grunts as the bolt slams into him.

Tarkir Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Though it is cut short as the small bear falls abruptly to the ground where he stands. Tarkir's eyes roll back into his head as his breathing becomes shallow.

Round Surprise, Init 15

Kaylayne touches Dimitrio instinctively, giving him what magical protections she can afford. In doing so, she slides 5' forward.

Magic Circle Prot Evil 10', Dimi. Lasts 70 minutes.

Round 1, Init 24

"That's what I get for thinkin' things could ever be easy." Ederin mumbles as he fires a two shots over the heads of his allies. Should have taken that time to pull out my back up ammo.

Dimitrio steps in the building, grits his teeth and takes point with his rapier.

He feints at skewers with his blade trying to intimidate with his fancy yet deadly rapier.
