GM Brunoreturns' Shattered Star (Inactive)

Game Master brunoreturns

Kylee pulls out a wand and casts 'Bless' on the party.

Hoping to get Deric some space, Paëral fires a couple of cold iron arrows at the schir…

To Hit: Base/Dex, Masterwork, Weapon Focus, PBS, Bless, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot
Damage: Strength, PBS, Deadly Aim

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 22
Cold Iron Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 4 = 12

Longbow (Rapid Shot): 1d10 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 19
Cold Iron Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 4 = 11

"I can try." Barkot pulls out the little bone fetish and shakes it at the schir demon.

Barkot casts boneshaker.

Shake it!: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 6, 1, 2) = 18
DC 15 Fort save halves the damage and negates the movement. If he fails the save, please move him 5' away from Deric.

Spell Resistance(Barkot): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The magic melts around the demon, having no effect.

Deric holds until just before Paëral in the next round. (First turn next round.)
Deric draws Harm. He calls on the shard he named Ada. Haste unto Paeral, Deric, Squint, Ulyi, Kylee, and Barko for 6 rounds.
AC=24
He drops Harm onto the demon thing
MW greatsword PA : 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 1 = 19 (19/20)
slashing damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5) + 19 = 30

Activating a magic item is a standard action, so no attack.

Jasper flagellates himself with his flail, screaming out for Oblivion.
1d8 ⇒ 6

@Deric, I still need a Fort save

One of Paeral's arrows deflects at the last moment. The other arrow hits and appears to do full damage.

Haste give me an extra attack.

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 plus anything? Current effects?

PvE applies (and will be taken into account). I don't think you have any other disease related bonuses.

"Ah!" Squint screeches at the sudden appearance of the winged thing. He tries to recall what he might know about it.

Knowledge Planes Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Urrgh.

He then tries to wiggle his fingers to cast a spell on the sly.

Cast Defensively (17) Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Sigh.

"Oh damn."

"Attack?! Don't mind if I do!" Ulyi announces, unleashing a savage flurry of attacks.

These attacks are magical thanks to the ring Ulyi now wears.

Melee Attack (Bite), Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Melee Attack (Claw), Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d4 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Melee Attack (Claw), Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d4 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

That's 5 1d20 rolls in a row at 10 or under and 3 consecutive natural 1s for the damage dice. The dice gods conspire to kill me, I do believe.

Squint, you already know about Incubuses. DR cold iron or good. Immune or resistant to most energy, spell resistance, and lots of spell like abilities. You've seen him fly and teleport, but you don't know much about his attacks yet

The incubus dodges away from most of Ulyi's attacks. One of them deflects off a magical barrier.

The incubus smiles and casts a spell, not even bothering to do it defensively. As he finishes casting, waves of sadness roll over the party.

Ulyi may take an AoO

Everyone must make a DC 19 Will save (enchantment, emotion, mind-affecting) or be affected by Crushing Despair. Each affected creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. PvE applies for everyone.

The Red Schir slices at Deric with his halberd again and follows up by goring with his horns. The horn attack is blocked by the magical circle, which causes the schir to roar in frustration.
Spell Resistance(Barkot): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Halberd,Shaken,PvE: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 9

Blue stamps his feet, wishing he could get into the fight.

Everyone in the Magic Circle should remember to take a +2 on that save.

Will Save (MCaE & racial bonus applied): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 23

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15

Feeling desperate, Paëral fires again at the red schir…

To Hit: Base/Dex, Masterwork, Weapon Focus, PBS, Bless, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Despair, Haste
Damage: Strength, PBS, Deadly Aim, Despair

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 22

Cold Iron Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 2 = 8

Longbow (Haste): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 10
Cold Iron Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 2 = 9

One arrow hits, Red is still standing

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

I'll post Barkot's turn later this evening.

MW greatsword PA : 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 1 = 27 (19/20)
slashing damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 5) + 19 = 28
MW greatsword PA : 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 1 - 2 = 20 (19/20)

MW greatsword PA : 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 1 = 36 (19/20)

confirm: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 1 - 4 = 31 (19/20) defensive
slashing damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 5) + 19 = 26
Deric looks at Blue and says Come to Mammma"
AC 26 this round

"Crap! We're screwed."

Barkot looks anxiously ahead and behind. Unable to move out of the hallway because of the demons on either end, he casts divine favor and loads his crossbow with a cold iron bolt. (+2 luck bonus to attack and damage rolls for 1 minute.)

For all the good it will do me. We're screwed!

I don't know how large Kylee's magic circle is. It would be good to have it on the map for reference. If there are other things apart from bless active for the party, then it would be good for it to be noted somewhere as well.

Will Save, Magic Circle?: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19

"Time to bust out those shards, and fast!" Squint calls out to his colleagues as he stabs at the incubus.

Melee Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 271d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Crap! We're screwed."

Kylee turns to Barkot and lays a hand upon his shoulder.

"Do not lose heart. Sarenrae is with us, and she is more powerful than any demon." she says with calm confidence.

Cast Touch of Good on Barkot. +3 sacred bonus on all your d20 rolls for 1 round.

Ulyi takes a snap at the casting incubus.

Bite Attack, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Ulyi then saves versus the weight of crushing despair.

Will Save, Magic Circle?: 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 4 + 2 = 20

"This guy is an asshat!" Ulyi calls out. "But he tastes good!"

Full attack. All of these attacks are magical.

Bite Attack, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Claw Attack, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 271d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Claw Attack, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

As Red falls to Paeral's arrow, Squint and Ulyi Combine for a series of attacks on the Incubus, only one of which appears to do any damage.

Blue steps forward and is cut to pieces by Deric's hasted attacks, leaving only the Incubus, who begins his attacks on Squint,Ulyi: 1d2 ⇒ 2 Ulyi, scoring one hit.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Confirm: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

"Squint, Jasper, I need you to withdraw and leave that space for me and Kylee. Kylee, I need you behind me. My life before yours."

Thanks - love touch of good! My GMPC in Reign of Winter (half-orc, melee-focused cleric of Cayden - imagine Barkot with better hygiene and if he'd grown up in a stable nuclear family) uses it often.

Barkot sighs morosely. "Thanks, Kylee. Probably won't do much good, but I appreciate the effort." He turns around and tries to get a clear shot at the incubus.

"Better duck, guys. Not like I'm any good at aiming this thing."

Light crossbow, cold iron bolt, divine favor, touch of good, firing into melee at target with soft cover: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 + 3 - 4 = 251d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Squint, Jasper, I need you to withdraw and leave that space for me and Kylee. Kylee, I need you behind me. My life before yours."

Kylee nods her willingness to follow Deric.

If we can Kung Fun Shuffle ourselves around, Kylee will put a Touch of Good (+3 to d20 rolls for 1 round) on Deric then follow him to the spot where Jasper is standing now.

Jasper won't be moving anywhere this round, and people won't be moving past him

Looking around wildly, Jasper lashes out with his flail at Barkot, Squint,Ulyi: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Flail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"This FACKING USSHOLE SHIPHEAD dies!" Ulyi explodes.

Full attack.

Melee Attack (Bite), Power Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Melee Attack (Claw), Power Attack, Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 121d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Melee Attack (Claw), Power Attack, Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"I can't help you, Deric. Take care of this worthless dead weight that we've dragged along with us from Magnimar and we'll talk!"

Squint tries to stab at the incubus with his lance.

Melee Attack, Bless, Silver: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

He then draws a wand from his vest.

Unless the last thing would provoke an AoO, in which case I won't do that.

Don't forget the Haste spell for Squint and Ulyi!

Kylee had been ready to move, but Jasper's wild flailing keeps her where she is for the moment.

"Jasper! Please, control yourself!"

I guess my action will be to delay again. We really need to get out of this stupid hallway.

Noticing Jasper's erratic behavior that is blocking his plan, Deric looks at the elven cleric and says "When I first saw your delicate stature without armor, I thought I would be spending all of my time protecting you from harm. It seems the reverse is now true."

Ulyi Haste Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Ulyi and Squint each hit the Incubus, but don't appear to do any damage.

Deric points at the demonic thing and yells "Leave the halfling be you coward of a succubus! Come fight me now or you shall regret your impotence."

Paëral fires a cold iron arrow at the incubus...

To Hit: Base/Dex, Masterwork, Weapon Focus, PBS, Bless, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot
Damage: Strength, PBS, Deadly Aim

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 11
Cold Iron Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 + 4 = 13

...but misses badly.

After cursing, he says, "We have to leave the hallway...that creature has too much cover in here," and he moves back 30', watching his footsteps around the pit...

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

While I have Deadeye Bowman, that only dismisses soft cover from one creature blocking my LOS...I'll have to roll extremely high to hit the incubus with +4 to his AC and I can't get any closer due to Jasper...

The Incubus smiles at Deric and says, "As you wish"

He disappears, only to reappear inside of the door, which he then closes.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

He falls into the pit, but flutters his wings, landing safely.

Jasper continues swinging his flail madly.

Flail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Now he rolls highly. Who is he attacking? Barkot, Squint,Ulyi: 1d3 ⇒ 3

The flail bounces off of Ulyi's feathers.

Just to confirm - Barkot's crossbow bolt (cold iron) missed the incubus?

Barkot spins around at the sound of the door closing.

"Crap! Paë's in there all by himself with the demon guy!"

Barkot runs forward and opens the door.

Go get him, team!

Sorry. The bolt did hit. I will apply the damage.

The door does not open.

"Oh no!" says Kylee.

"Squint... can you make another pit under the door?"

Ulyi spins around and attacks Jasper.

"Your madness ends now, idiot."

Bite Attack, Nonlethal, Bless, Haste: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 4 = 171d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Bite Attack, Nonlethal, Bless, Haste: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 4 = 161d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Claw Attack, Nonlethal, Bless: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 4 = 191d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Claw Attack, Nonlethal, Bless: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 4 = 101d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

That should do it.

Squint watches in horror as Ulyi savages Jasper. Despite the eidolon using non-lethal attacks, the halfling cannot stand the impulse.

"You are DISMISSED!" Squint calls out.

That's the first standard action - dismiss Ulyi.

Ulyi disappears in a puff, depositing Squint on the ground next to the prone Jasper.

"I'm awfully sorry," Squint apologises to the insane Groetus worshipper. He then murmurs a summoning incantation, and behind the now-closed door, Laurence the Lantern Archon appears aloft over the pit. Immediately, Laurence blasts two light rays at the incubus at the bottom of the pit.

Summon Monster III. Range is 40 feet, exactly where the pit is. The range of Laurence's two light rays is 30 feet. The light rays ignore any DR and count as good-aligned attacks. Works out well.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d6 ⇒ 3
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d6 ⇒ 4

Except for the fact that I have to roll FACKING d20s.

Kylee immediately moves to Jasper's side, kneels down and lays a hand upon his forehead.

Rebuke Death: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Not sure where I lost track. Jasper's tagline has him at -14, but the stat tracker has him at full. The tagline is probably correct (and it is currently better for the party)

Ulyi knocks Jasper unconscious and is dismissed as punishment. Kylee's restorative spell has no effect, but the stress seems to fade from the man's sleeping features. He is not below 0 HP

Paeral watches as the Pit ceases to exist, and the Incubus, somewhat surprised, is pushed back up to ground level.

Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20

"Pleased to meet you, coward. Hope you guess my name."

Confused about how the incubus keeps the door from being opened, Paëral feels his only option is to fire more cold iron at it...he moves back 5' and cuts loose...

To Hit: BAB/Dex, MW, Weapon Focus, PBS, Bless, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Haste
Damage: Strength, PBS, Deadly Aim

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 26

Cold Iron Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 4 = 11

Paeral hits the Incubus with three quick arrows while the Incubus continues to be unaffected by Deric's Intimidation.

The incubus grins as he stalks forward and slices at Paeral with a vital strike.

“Ah, damn.” Barkot tries to figure out whether the door is locked, barred from the other side, or something else.

(Move action for affirmative Perception check; standard action will depend on the result.)

It appears to be locked.
