G.M.E.W's Vengeance at Sundered Crag (Inactive)

Game Master Evan Whitefield

Ryster,
Don't forget about Haste.

Oh, yeah, thanks! He'll move a little closer then. and add +1 to those attack rolls.

Hasted: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 2 + 1 = 25
Not Cold Iron: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Wait what do you mean "move a little closer? You can still only take a 5ft step during a full round attack.

Wait what do you mean "move a little closer? You can still only take a 5ft step during a full round attack.

Ha! Yep. Did I say move a littel closer? I meant shoot again.

Round 3
Bold is Up:
Ryster: 19
Bizz: 19-
Fizz: 12
Osric: 8
Monsters: 5
barbarians: 5

FYI Ryster's first and hasten'ed bullets hit but only the Cold Iron one did any damage. Beaky hit but was not able to get past DR and Fizz's swing misses.

Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

I think I'm just within range...

Osric feels himself go a bit weaker as the demon's attack washes over him.

You still get to attack.

Bizzle will cast Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 1) + 4 = 12 at the closest enemy!

Fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Grim fights off the evil and snaps his jaws twice at the demon he faces.

Bite, FE: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 4 = 20

Bite 2: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19

Forgot haste! Please add 1 to above attacks! And to damage, since Grim now has a +1 amulet.

Hasty Bite: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 + 4 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 4 = 16

Free trip if any hit : 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 4 = 23

Osric aims a single cold iron shot at the closer demon who injured him.

Attack, PB, FE, DA, Haste, Neg Lev: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 4 - 3 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 1 + 4 - 3 + 1 - 1 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 4 + 6 + (1, 4) = 23

Bizz, you were within 30ft when the demon's attack went off so you need to make a fort save.

Ryster is able to leave a small wound one the demonic looking monster with his cold Iron Bullet but his other shots either miss or bounce off. Fizz and Beaky has similar results with Beaky unable able to get its beak though the creatures thick hide and Bizz missing with his swing as he rode by. Fizz and Grim have better luck against the misshaped creature they are fighting. While Fizz is able to deal some decent damage Grim just rips the monster apart leaving a fleshy pile of gore at the wolf's feet.
Osric moves forward and lines up a clean shot on the demon burring his cold iron arrow deep into the beast.

Seeing that the ranged character are a clear thread the demonic creature rises to the air, as the barbarians take ineffective swings at the beast, and moves towards the archer. Opening its massive maw it attempts to sink its teeth into Osric, he is a bit too quick for it.
Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The barbarians charge the demonic creatures and attempt to bring it back down tot he ground but their blades seem ineffective against the monster.

Round 4
Bold is Up:
Ryster: 19
Bizz: 19
Fizz: 12
Osric: 8
Monster: 5 (Demon: 30)
barbarians: 5

Fizz rears Beaky around and moves to Osric's aid!

power attack, furious focus, flanking, vital strike, haste bonus
+1 dragon-bane greatsword: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 33
damage: 2d10 + 13 ⇒ (4, 8) + 13 = 25

Confirm:
+1 dragon-bane greatsword: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 29
damage: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Oh, I missed that. Next time feel free to roll for me, I don't mind.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 +1 if vs. evil

Crud. With the negative level I'm at 15/45 HP since I forgot to heal myself over the weekend.

Ryster takes a step closer, reloads a cold iron bullet, then fires at the demon.

RTA, PBS, Haste, Cover: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 28
Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18

Osric grins at the beast as it misses, but then his face grows dark as he steps back and sends another cold iron arrow at it (if it survives the other attacks).

Attack, Neg. Lev. PBS, FE, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 20 - 1 + 1 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 20 - 1 + 1 + 4 - 3 = 40
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 4 + 6 + (3, 5) = 30

The party focuses its might on the remaining foe and are able to bring it down with three massive hits.

Combat Over!

Thank you friends. One of barbarians says as the everyone settles down. We hunt there monsters but this one was more dangerous than most. Another group headed farther into the mountains, that way. He points further down the valley. Will you hunt them with us? They are not far ahead now.

"Yes! Absolutely!"

As soon as the men are turned around, Fizz will quicky detect evil on each of them.

Ryster nods, loading another cold iron bullet. "Aye, I'm up fer a little huntin'"

Bizzle quickly remembers to heal himself. I don't feel quite like myself anymore. Something's wrong.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Lesser Restoration doesn't heal negative levels does it?

Nope

The Barbarians are keen on moving on and lead you down through the valley towards the steep mountains.

Everyone but Fizz notices that not to far down the valley the barbarians actually take you in a different direction than the path the other group took.

"You headin' the wrong way. The other group went dis' o' way." Ryster points out.

He's right! We really need to go thataway.

Aye. Did you miss the trail?

Osric halts and calls Grimtooth to heel. His hand remains still, paused non-threateningly near his quiver.

-Posted with Wayfinder

No, no this short cut. We know these lands. We'll be able to cut them off

Everyone but Fizz can tell they are lying.

"What's your game, then? Pretend to fight the demons to trap us? And what if we had followed? Grimtooth can tear your limbs off here or there..."

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Sounds good to me!" the trusty gnome nods in agreement.

@GM: Was Fizz ever able to pull off a detect evil on them?

The big wolf's fur stands on end. He begins to let loose a low growl followed by a quick yelp.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nonsense! Your pulling me beard, if I ain't a dwarf! What a' you playing at?"

Super busy day at work again and class tonight. Sorry

Well another really busy day at work but no school means imitative!

The barbarians snarl at your accusations and reach for their weapons!

Round 1:
Bold is up:
Bizz: 19
Osric: 14
Ryster: 13
Fizz: 12
Barbarians: 5

We'll use the same MAP

Bizzle looks around and determines that this would be a fine place to cast Entangle! We'll center it behind them so the closest arc just catches them and my friends can still move up on them and whack 'em. DC 17 Reflex.

With a snarl of his own, Ryster fires three times in quick succesion at the man on the west, then takes a step backward..

RTA, Rapid, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 27
Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 12

Iterative, RTA, Rapid, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 13

Osric calls out:

"Try not to kill them! Maybe they're just possessed!"

"Grim, flank and attack!"

Osric moves up to the rightmost (east) foe, drawing his axe. Grimtooth circles around behind, though moves through threatened squares to do so. It will provoke.

The the two act as one, striking with axe and fang.

Greataxe, flanking, favored enemy (human), neg level, nonlethal: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 1 - 4 = 29
Damage: 1d12 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16

Grim bites down, but is not really able to understand "nonlethal".

Bite (magic), flank, FE: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 + 2 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18

Free Trip if bite hits: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26

"Aye!" Fizz orders Beaky to step in so he can swing with the flat of his blade.

+1 dragon-bane greatsword power attack for nonlethal: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 4 = 19
nonlethal damage: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

+1 dragon-bane greatsword power attack for nonlethal: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19
nonlethal damage: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Osric,
Grim is not in the entangled area so he'll need to make a save.
Reflex R: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 Pass
Reflex C: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Fail
Reflex L: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Fail

The barbarian on the right takes a swing at the wolf with his giant ax as Grim circles around.
Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d12 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 6 = 23

The barbarians then take a beating from your attacks as all of them hit. Ryster's bullets nearly take down the center barbarian. Grim and Osric's team work pay off and they both land devistating blows on the barbarian on the right. Fizz takes two swings at the leftmost barbarian smacking the man hard with the flat of his blade.

The barbarians try to return the blows but find it difficult due to the grasping undergrowth.

R - 5ft step out of Entangle
R Attack Osric: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 2 = 15

PARTY IS UP!

Ryster steps away and keeps firing, changing targets if someone goes down.

RTA, Rapid, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 13 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 20

Beaky bites at the man:

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Oh, he doesn't like you. Maybe he thinks you look funny! Bizzle then casts Hideous Laughter on Fizzy's opponent! DC 21 Will

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
@ Fizz,
Are you adding your +1 to hit for being on a mount lager than the target?

No I'm not. Beaky is actually medium sized. It just clicked that you made him large on the map but he's not actually large-sized.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Grim fights through the entanglement and bites at the barbarian!

Bite, FE, flank: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 2 = 31

-Posted with Wayfinder

The party continues its assault on the barbarians. Ryster brings his target down with two of his shots and then hits the Barbarian Fighting the gnomes. Grim tears apart the man on the right allowing Osric to charge the last barbarian, landing a glancing blow on the man's back, and setting up a flank for the Paladin who knocks the man unconscious with the flat of his greatsword. As the man barbarians fall the area grown eerily silent and a numbing chill spreads through the valley as the sun starts to sink behind the mountains.
Suddenly inky blackness begins to seep out of the wounds Ryster's left in the center man. The entire area is covered in supernatural darkness and a haunting laughter seeps into your mind.

The creature possessing the barbarian in the center has escaped its physical shell and is spreading magical darkness. This is supernatural darkness so Darkvision doesn't even work. It is laughing at you telepathically.

Round 3
Bold is up:
Bizz: 19
Osric: 14
Ryster: 13
Fizz: 12
ARASTRAX: 10

What knowledge would be required for this creature?

"Nice try!" Fizz exclaims as he pulls out an oil of daylight and pours it on his greatsword.

You can't really see it but I'll allow as Knowledge Planes with a slightly higher DC.

Edit:

A wispy, transparent form hovers over the body of the fallen barbarian its wicked horns and taloned hands make very clear this is some sort of demon.
DC 17 for the spoiler above.
