Game Master Feral

Earl continues pummeling the giant with his stone fists.

Hasted Damage: Magic, Bludgeon, Power attack, Earth mastery: 2d8 + 17 ⇒ (4, 8) + 17 = 29

whoops sorry about that post. Is the magma fire damage?

Purs spontaneously casts cure serious wounds on himself and his dog moves towards cover behind a stature.

csw: 3d8 + 14 ⇒ (2, 8, 6) + 14 = 30

"Guys lets get the giant with that damm rod!"

The magma from the rod was fire damage.

With a flurry of blows, Rhon, Earl, and Construct-Ralph bring one of the giants down.

Under the veil of invisibility, Exiel steals the rod from the giant that was brandishing it. The enormous weapon is hot to the touch but not enough to burn the aasimar through his resistance spell.

Several more giants and serpentine assistants arrive from the adjacent corridors.

Rock vs Rhon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"There's an invisible one hiding near the ceiling!" the robbed giant warns the reinforcements.

The party is up.

Ralph observes the new arrivals and the layout of the room.

"Time to mix things up a little," he thinks to himself as he settles his statue-body onto the ground and sends his consciousness back into his original body.

Purs: Looks Exiel has already taken the rod from the giant. Do you have any spells to disable a group of opponents?

Rhon: See if you and Earl can jam up one of the tunnels.
I will join you soon.

Exiel: Big aoe spell now.

Under the veil of invisibility, Exiel steals the rod from the giant that was brandishing it. The enormous weapon is hot to the touch but not enough to burn the aasimar through his resistance spell.

How hot is the rod? Would it be dangerous to put it in a handy haversack?

"Excuse me, sir? I am not hiding. I am merely not comfortable with the way you guys keep staring at me. How about all you guys just..."

Casting greater command, targeting all the guys in the white circle.

"STOP!?"

DC25 will save or they gotta stand in place and not take any actions. =D

It will probably be safe within a handy haversack.

Flee isn't going to work with Exiel being invisible. They don't have a direction to flee.

It will probably be safe within a handy haversack.

Flee isn't going to work with Exiel being invisible. They don't have a direction to flee.

I was thinking they would just flee from the sound of my voice. But any way, I've amended my earlier post to the 'halt' command instead. I'll put that troublesome rod away next turn.

Rhon relaxes and looks winded for a brief moment before he lays a hand upon himself washing away the injury, pain, and fatigue that had been afflicting him.

Lay on Hands, Positive energy feedback loop: 7d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 5, 5, 1, 5) + 1 = 28

Rhon rushes toward the group of giants coming from the tunnel to the north. (Double move) He then steadies himself on the ground as he stops. "Come and meet the vengeance that is wrought when family is wronged." (Rhon enters his Defensive Stance.)

Salamander Wills: 3d20 ⇒ (19, 6, 3) = 28

Two of the giants and two of the serpents on the southern side of the cavern freeze in place. The two that manage to resist Exiel's enchantment charge around the edge of the forge.

AoO vs Rhon: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Earl pulverizes the lone forge assistant, reducing it to bloody paste.

Full Attack vs Rhon: 3d20 ⇒ (7, 8, 4) = 19

Rhon can take an AoO against one of the giants or one of the salamanders. The party is up.

Ralph retains his mental note of the objects in the room, including the immense stone tables. He projects his consciousness into one of the tables, but does not immediately move. He remains still and waits for the giants try to move past him and give him an opening to strike.

For simplicity, I will use the same construction build as before, but as a gargantuan table instead of a gargantuan statue. How convenient that they gave me so many tables of the right size in here.

Purs casts defensively to finish the spell

concentration check: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

He steps over a bit and then a huge elemental pops in and attacks. with flank attacking blue

Exiel begins to move towards Purs to cover him, then sees him summoning a ginormous elemental and tear into the giant with his axe.

"Huh. Guess he's gonna be alright."

He looks over to the North and sees Rhon getting swarmed and the Ralph-golem lying on the ground, seemingly out of commission.

"Dammit, guess I'm on crowd-control duty today... Where's Ralph at a time like this?"

He flies further up to the North and scatters blinding glitter over three of the giants attacking Rhon.

"Hey guys, who wants to look fabulous?"

Scattering glitter in the white circle's aoe. DC22.

Psst. Hey Purs, I think your last axe attack was a crit threat.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

My reach is 25ft. I see a lot of giants have moved within my threatened area.

"This quadrupedal form is rather unusual, but it will suffice."

Ralph slams a giant (red) as it moves past him, then rears up two of his new legs and begins to pummel the giants starting with red and moving to purple after red is down.

Can you break that down for me? I totaled you at 42. 31 + 1 haste + 6 stance + 1 enlarge + 4 racial dodge.

The natural 20 will land regardless.

did you skip the one on me?

The giant near you attacked your elemental.

The seekers strike back in a fury bloodying giants and salamanders but failing to bring any down.

Exiel is up.

oh OK just wondering..it said Air on the attack. It's an earth elemental

Exiel is mildly startled by the unusually violent table beneath him, then realises that only person around here would be responsible for such strange phenomena.

"Oh. Hello Ralph."

Time to put away this damn rod.

Exiel calls out Lauriel, slips the rod into Ralph's handy haversack, and then has her return to her tattoo form.

"Thanks for the caddie service, kiddo, but you'd best stay out of this one. These giants hit hard."

That would be my move action and Lauriel's move and standard actions.

Then he flies over to just above Ralph's target, draws his rapier while moving, and waits silently above the giant's head, waiting for him to move and provoke an AoO.

@Rhon: With last turn's hit, I believe that puts the total damage on your armor at 59. This leaves it broken. It only provides half the bonus until it's repaired.

The giants near Table-Ralph move to smash the hostile furniture but a swipe from the invisible Exiel manages to get their attention. In a rage, they lunge for the invisible nuisance.

Table-Ralph can take another AoO. The party is up.

Which giant is grappling Exiel?

Ralph takes his attack of opportunity on red giant and then continues to hammer him into a pulp before moving on to the giant that is grappling Exiel.

@Exiel: Please break down your CMD. I believe the 31 gets you because you're not currently fighting defensively.

You're right about me not getting my fighting defensively bonus, but while doing the breakdown, I realised that I had not been adding my BAB to my CMD! It's 35. XD

"Whoop. Missed. I'm not there either... Whoa that was close. Hey! No grabbing! I'm straight and in a committed relationship!"

Heaving a sigh of relief at the narrow miss, Exiel gets his bearings and cuts loose with a flurry of stabs from his rapier, going for Ralph's last target.

"Rally, sons of Torag! For the Forge-Father!"
I say this, but really any ally will find my words rousing enough to get a +3 competence bonus to attack and damage, but since I'm technically acting in the next round, they get this bonus on their next turn instead of this one.

crane style fighting defensively attack roll: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 4 - 2 = 41
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (4, 5) + 4 = 24
confirmation roll: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 4 - 2 = 42
crit damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17

crane style fighting defensively iterative attack roll: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 4 - 2 - 5 = 32
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + (2, 4) + 4 = 18

crane style fighting defensively haste attack roll: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 4 - 2 = 28
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (1, 1) + 4 = 16

Now that I am fighting defensively, AC = 43, CMD = 39, and increase both of those number by another 10 against the giant who Ralph and I are not attacking. AND I'm still invisible.

"Na na-na-na. Na-na. Na-na. Can't touch this."

And just because I can, after full attacking and singing, I'll do a 5ft aerial skip to the side (5ft step) 'cos I can.
Oh where oh where could that little nuisance be?

Which giant is grappling Exiel?

None, apparently. It would have been green.

You're right about me not getting my fighting defensively bonus, but while doing the breakdown, I realised that I had not been adding my BAB to my CMD! It's 35. XD

Thanks. On that note, can you post the important bits from your character sheet to your profile? It would make my life easier if I didn't have to navigate to your profile and then to a separate page every time I needed information.

Table-Ralph and Exiel finish off one giant and badly wound another.

Purs and Rhon are up.

I'm hasted too? @DM the PC is male btw lol

Purs swings his axe again at the giant hoping to drop him.

The elder earth elemental continues its assualt.

Sorry about that Purs. You and your animal companion actually finished off the giant if you'd like to send the elemental elsewhere.

One final blow to the kneecaps is enough to bring the battered giant down.

Rhon is up.

You're hasted too, Purs. Your doggie as well. But your elemental ain't hasted 'cos he was summoned ater I cast the spell.

Thanks. On that note, can you post the important bits from your character sheet to your profile? It would make my life easier if I didn't have to navigate to your profile and then to a separate page every time I needed information.

Can do, though my numbers do jump up and down a little depending on what buffs I have active at the moment. What info do you consider the 'important bits'? Will a bestiary-style stat-block suffice? Will do it when I get home.

No problem

The elder elemental sinks into the floor and moves towards the dwarven paladin.

@Rhon: I had the hardness of your armor wrong. It should be 18, not 14. With the hit from this round that's 70/85 damage to your armor.

Exiel is grappled by the green giant and green salamander.

The party is up.

2 questions. Firstly, does that mean I need to make 2 separate CMB checks (one against each) to break free, using 2 separate standard actions? And secondly, what do you reckon happens if I cast emergency force sphere while grappled?

2 questions. Firstly, does that mean I need to make 2 separate CMB checks (one against each) to break free, using 2 separate standard actions? And secondly, what do you reckon happens if I cast emergency force sphere while grappled?

Multiple grapplers involved in a grapple is an edge case. I'm inclined to say it's a single action but you have to make a separate roll for each opponent.

Emergency force sphere would include both of you if it was just the salamander. Since the giant has you grappled and he wouldn't fit inside the sphere the spell would just fail.

GM: I believe you may have my armor HP miscalculated. See the breakdown I did in the discussion. I referenced page 175 of the Core Rulebook for the calculation.

Rhon grits his teeth. Determined to save his family he lashes out with his ax again and again. Rhon maintains his Defensive Stance (Free Action), uses Stonestrike this round (Swift Action), and full attacks (Full Round) starting with the Gold Giant and moving to his left if Gold goes down.

Alright, after some discussion with the fine folk on Discord, I'm gonna try to break free.

If I break free, I'm gonna fly back for a bit to the other side of the table. If I fail... I'm gonna cry to Ralph for help. XD

Is the green giant the badly injured one, perchance? And does he own a franchise of canned and frozen vegetables?

Yes, the green giant is the wounded one.

Feel free to cry to Ralph for help. That's a free action.

Exiel: Fortunately for you, Ralph is always happy to help those who will acknowledge his superiority.

"What has that fool gotten himself into now? Has he still not gotten that ring I told him to purchase? I have half a mind to leave him to the giants, but having him in my debt will be much more satisfying..."

I was the one who advised him to choose the uninjured giant for osyluth guile so that if he got grappled by the injured one I could do this.

If green falls to my attacks, Exiel only needs to break free from the salamander. That should be easy enough.

The construct has 20 foot reach, right? The green giant is 25 feet away after your 5 foot step.

Edit: I stepped you to a spot you could reach from.

Table-Ralph bludgeons the giant holding on to the invisible aasimar. Exiel manages to muscle free from the remaining foe holding onto him.

Earl and Purs are up.

The construct has 20 foot reach, right? The green giant is 25 feet away after your 5 foot step.

Feral: Yes he is 25 ft away. In post #121, I stated that I spent 2 construction points to increase the reach of all my attacks by 5ft. In post #162, I said I was using the same build for the table. Therefore my reach is 25ft and he is in range.

Exiel: Behold your new god.

Earl aims his stony fists at the closest foe and attempts smash it into the stone. Earl full attacks the Pink Salamander. If it goes down he will switch the Orange Salamander for all remaining attacks.

I see the confusion: You were under the impression that a gargantuan table would have a 20 feet reach base. An animated table is definitely more long than tall so you're looking at 15 foot reach. With the improved reach that gets you up to 20 feet.

But it's a moot point because I stepped you closer so you'll be in range.

Earl pummels another salamander but doesn't do enough damage to bring it down.

It's also probably worth mentioning that you're right at the edge of the limits of object possession's range.

I am using greater object possession, which has a range of medium. The range of my spiritual tether is 240ft.
