GM EDDV's Ire of the Storm

Game Master eddv

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

As you have successfully surmised, the DC was somewhere beteen 10 and 18. T'Krit and Arisira are free

Vera manages to snap off a shot with her crossbow, finding purchase in the enemy leader's flesh as the grass holds her in place, meanwhile Mak'da just barely manages to break free while Tkrist avoids getting held back at alll.

Antal struggles against his restraints and barely manages to snap them...but has no movement left and will need to try and escape them once more [another REFLEX save on the enemy's turn, DC 13 for ease of use]

Meanwhile, Shen is trapped under the restraints.

Lizard Leader

Shen is trying to break free but she has no luck.

Strength: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

Strength: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Able to move freely, but unable to get clear of the grasping plants- Arisra trudges forward toward the enemies. She draws an arrow and levels it at the Lizard Leader- holding off until he starts to cast another spell.

Move: 20 feet. Action: Readied Action, Attack against leader when casting a spell.

Reflex, end of turn: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

The pair of lizardmen immediately move to play defense for their boss.

Reszavass meanwhile laughs loudly at Vera's put down claiming she did not belong Stupid Sargavans! in thickly broken human before continuing in her language.

Her guardians try to make short work of the dinosaur

Morning Star: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Bite: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 81d4 ⇒ 4

Morning Star: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

One of them connects with a sickening crack of the morning star upon the dino's face, but it keeps going.

She then calls down a squall of wind which stays in place as a protective barrier, ironically an arrow narrowly missing her as she does so!

Lizard Leader

Shen already took her second round actions when she tried to escape again I think and am reflecting that here

Arisira pushes forward, through the grass and through the cyclone of air. Stepping free, she reaches out towards the lizardfolk, and the ground underneath them becomes slick and unstable.

In the spell description, it appears that only flying small creatures are effected. Please let me know if this is the wrong interpretation.

Move: 20 feet, Standard: Grease, DC 14 reflex save from all three or fall prone. DC 10 acrobatics check to move half speed. If fail by 5 or more it falls prone.

Yep, you're good to move through it

reflex save Green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
reflex save Blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
reflex save Leader: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

One of the lizards slips and falls on the new greasy terrain!

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Vera manages to break free, and moves forward.

I'm unclear is anyone in the negative hit points?

Just as a reminder, the area of an entangle spell is difficult terrain. I thought I would bring it up as Mak'da also preps it.

Burdened by her equipment Mak'da slogs forward through the entangle spell, desperate to come to T'Krits aid.

Double move, as she is armoured Mak'da only has a 20' speed so can only move forward three squares as the first diagonal in difficult terrain is 15'

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

T'Krit launches himself at the prone lizardman.

Bite, prone: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon, prone: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 4 = 29
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Talon, prone: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 4 = 26
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The only ones who are down hp are Shen and T'krit but neither is in the -s

T'Krit launches into an attack on the newly downed lizard and quickly renders it completel incapacitated.

Just as a reminder, the area of an entangle spell is difficult terrain.

When I read the spell, I must have stoped at the phrase "Creatures that make their save can move as normal". If the effect of the spell is that it is always difficult terrain, regardless of your save- then Arisira moved too far each of the past two turns... womp womp. That becomes really hard to undo. I am sorry GM.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"Enough!" Antal yells in frustration as the weeds close around him again. He drops his sword and shield and tears at the vines.

Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Assuming he breaks the vines, the small warrior attacks and has no movement remaining. Antal quick-draws his sling and lets a bullet fly at the nearest lizard.

Sling, Favored Enemy, Inspire Courage, Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 21 Damage, Favored Enemy, Inspire Courage: 1d3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6

She loads her crossbow, and waits.

Standard action load crossbow.

Meant to post yesterday after work and just fell asleep instead whoops.

Antal gets reentangled by the vines but uses his brute strength to burst the vines and then whips a sling bullet as hard he can at his enemy.

Unfortunately the squall of wind between he and his foes sends the bullet flying off into the skies instead.

For Arisira I will move her back into the vines but treat it like she made her concentration on a grease and sort of handwave the range of that spell for the moment.

Vera reloads, biding her time in the tangle of brush.

The Lizardman tries once more to nail the dinosaur with his mace.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

After that plan fails he withdraws across the grease trying to draw the dinosaur through the hazard.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

AoO for Tik'rit

Meanwhile the leader also tries to withdraw across the grease

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

He then directs a bolt of lightning from his hands at T'krit

Lightning Arc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The bolt cracks loudly near T'krit but misses its mark!

Lizard Green
Lizard Leader

Shen tries to free herself and now tries dexterity instead of strength but all her efforts are ... in vain!

Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Thanks GM. I am sorry to put you in that position

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Trudging forward, Arisira almost makes it out of the thick, aggressive underbrush. As she steps through the vertical wind, she draws an arrow and levels it at the Leader- ready for the leaders next spell.

Move: 10 ft (difficult terrain), Standard: Readied action against leader casting a spell

Vera moves closer to the action, and fires her crossbow, and she misses.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

oa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Make a hustles forward and whistles for T'Krit to protect Arisira.

reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I cannot manipulate the map on.my phone. Can someone move Makda forward 4 squares and Tkrit back to Arisira.

Vera manages to snap off a shot which is also winged off by the wall of wind before her.

Mak'da hustles forward and finds herself once more wrapped in aggressive grass.T'krit takes a snap at the retreating lizard folk which doesn't go well before he too retreats to defend Arisira.

Meanwhile Shen struggles in place and Arisira readies a shot.

Lizard Leader

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Antal looks down in dismay as yet again the roots take hold.

Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

He breaks out of the plants again, and this time looks up at the building next to him. He begins to climb to get away from the roots. Irori let this work

Climb (ACP-3 due to dropped shield): 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 3 = 10

lol

[ooc] 1 in 4 chance there is a window on that side of the wall for you to help climb on [ooc]

1d100, success on 76+: 1d100 ⇒ 68

Antal cleverly tries to escape the foliage but fins the lack of handholds or ledges on the wall to make his progress a bit impossible and he falls right back down.

The lizard man produces a javelin and chucks it at T'krit, trying to eliminate the threat posed by the vicious little dino.

Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Meanwhile the shaman conjures another lightning bolt and attempts to also blast the dino.

Lightning Arc: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 171d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The blast of lightning is accompanied by a crack of thunder and it crashes directly on T'krit

My readied action should have gone off. If it hits, it should force a concentration check from the shaman or he loses the spell. DC 10+ spell level+ damage

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17.
Once again, Arisira is able to avoid the grasping brush- as she moves into the clearing and out of the reach of the vines. Leveling her bow, she again waits for the best moment to Interfere with the shaman’s casting.

move: 10 feet Standard: Readied attack against shaman, when casting

Mst shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 24
MC +2, PBS: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Shen again tries to free herself with dexterity ... but probably in vain!

Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

oh you're right I forgot you were on the proper side of the wind wall

Concentration DC15: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22

Despite the arrow lodging into her, the lightning arc goes off all the same.

Meanwhile When actually ends her turn free from the vines! But will need to dodge getting tangled again.

Escape Artist: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10
I can't recall the DC for escaping the vines.

If she breaks free, she moves toward the action.

DC is 13

Vera tries to break free again. She manages to move forward slowly.

Escape Artist: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Anything I need to do about the wind wall?

Round?

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Antal evades! He sweeps up his sword and shield and begins double-moving toward the evil lizards. "Your kind must be eradicated!" He shouts at them. "Come at me instead of hiding behind your paltry breezes!"

Double move from 15' to 30' move, and then half speed in difficult terrain! 3 squares moved.

Makda tries to break free.

Str check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

And slogs forward 20 feet.

While she directs Tkrit into cover from the lightning happy enemy.

can someone move Tkrit behind the nearby building please and Makda forward 20 feet

The lizard shaman grins at Arisira and chants something at her and in response the little halfling fires a shot at the lizard sinking deep in its skin.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 3 = 18

Despite this the spell goes off and a wave of cold overcomes the halflings body.

Will Save Place

Meanwhile the bodyguard lizard tosses his third javelin, trying to stick Vera before she can close on him.

Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The javelin strikes Vera directly in the hide armor, and falls harmlessly before her.

Well that is less than ideal

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

The chill that runs down her body is actually originating from armor - but she manages to shake off the effect.

GM, Shen made a DC 13 escape artist check last round. Is she still entangled as written in the status? Thanks

Oh no, sorry but she does need a reflex save

Reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Shen runs as fast as possible to get out of the area of the 'entangle' spell.

Remember that was difficult terrain so you only had 6 squares of movement on a double move. I forget where you started and so your current position may be right, this was just a reminder.

Yes, I reflected difficult terrain. Shen moved 5 squares of difficult and 1 normal square to stand behind Arisira for cover. ;-)

Drawing back her bow, this time Arisira doesn't wait- releasing the arrow at the shaman. Be enough! Be enough!

Mst Shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
Damage, PBS, +2MC: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Antal manages to escape the entanglement area, and makes it to the wall of the building, sheathing his sword as he moves. He drops his shield on arriving at the wall.

The halfling quick-draws his sling once clear and fires at green.

Sling: Favored Enemy,Inspire Courage,Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 Damage: Favored Enemy,Inspire Courage: 1d3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8

He stares down the green lizard and prepares himself to move there next round.

The area in red is greased, correct?

Vera fires her crossbow once again.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Yes it is. But, Arisira can dismiss it at will.

Upon seeing her other pathfinders escape the entangling grass- Arisira gives a slight wave of her hand, causing the grease-slick to simply vanish.

So grease slick is still there

Trying to aim an arrow around the building porch proves to be too difficult for Arisira whose arrow is slightly off course and misses.

Meanwhile, Vera and Antal also miss from afar while Shen finally escapes the entanglement and rejoins the rest of the group.

Just waiting on Makda

Mak'da moves behind the building, drawing a wand as she goes. She lays it against T'Krits flank and soft green light flows from it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

After which she whispers in his ear.

I am back for the weekend but off to Gencon on Monday

His wounds partly htowards the enemies who have hurt him. His wounds partly healed T'Krit goes tearing around the corner towards those who have hurt him. Skidding through the grease he lashes out at the lizard creature.

He has a movement speed of 60 so can easily get there even accounting for half speed I grease

Acrobatics in grease: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The Lizard, left with just his natural weapons, begins to tear into Vera as she dares approach him.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

In her flat footed state, Vera is unable to maneuver out of the way of the lizards flurry.

The lizard then withdraws to create a clear shot for the bolt of lightning arcing for Vera as well.

Lightning Arc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Again, left vulnerable by the grease, Vera has no defense against the lightning crashing into her, leaving body fried and dying in the puddle of grease.
