2. Harpy

41 dmg

Slypher and Ragnar are up!

Hmm, I could have sworn I posted.
Oh well.
Slypher retreats and summons a ball of fire on the harpy.

Ragnar try again to strike the flying harpie

+1 Adamantine Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 122d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 5) + 18 = 28

But he missed again.

Hmmm. I was hoping Ragnar would deal the killing blow. I probably shouldn't have mouthed off like I did. Tal seems concerned.

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

The harpy dodges Slypher's fireball and Ragnar swings wide.

The harpy flies to the side and swings at Tal!

damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9

41 dmg

You guys are up!

Ander moves over and swings his charged blade again.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 1 + 5d6 ⇒ (10) + 1 + (4, 2, 4, 5, 4) = 30

Ander nearly throws his blade down in frustration as he misses badly.

Slypher directs his fireball to jump at the harpy while he himself launches magical missiles towards her.

"Witty banter!"

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (3, 5, 5) = 18
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5, 3, 5) = 17

Ragnar tried again to swing his sword in the harpie

+1 Adamantine Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 132d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 5) + 18 = 27

Slypher cocks an eyebrow at Ander and Ragnar as they appear to have forgotten how to use swords.

Sorry...posted from my phone earlier and couldn't access the map. Just realized my entire action is more or less neutered. Tal's going down this round...good luck!

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Ander pulls a muscle while swinging at the harpy. The harpy again leaps away from Slypher's ball of fire but has less luck avoiding the missiles. Ragnar misses again and Tal stabs into the harpy twice.

@Tal: what's your current HP? Your banner must not be current. How close are you to falling unconscious?

The harpy now turns to go after Ander!

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Slypher fires more missiles while his fiery orb keeps hopping.

Seeing Tal falling under Tylaca falchion Ragnar said

Then he casted a spell cure serious wounds and moved to deliver it to Tal

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 8, 7) + 7 = 30

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

The harpy once again leaps from the ball of flame but is hit by a barrage of magic missiles. Ragnar heals Tal.

Initiative:

1. Ander, Slypher, Ragnar, and Tal
2. Harpy

66 dmg

Ander and Tal are up!

Ander steps into a flanking position and slashes again.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + (1, 5, 1, 5, 5) = 21

You have to be kidding me.

Ander swings and misses again!

Tal is up! Maybe? I still don't know his hp situation but he made it sound like he was falling unconscious.

Yeah, you guys have had some bad rolls. I honestly expected this to wrap up by now but the dice have been working against you.

Nope..I've been around. Tal was down to 13 and is now back up to 43 courtesy of Ragnar's heal. I got a little lax tracking my hp since I figured on creature surrounded by four of us couldn't last more than a round or two. 8->

I was waiting to see if Ander was going to withdraw and then I was going to follow suit. Standing here allowing a creature with 3 attacks and improved critical get full attacks off is starting to seem silly. So I'll just attack and take a five foot step.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29, Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Nope.
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Tal digs his blade into the harpy, doing only a bit of damage. The harpy lashes out at Ragnar for using healing magic!

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

+1 falchion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Initiative:

1. Ander, Slypher, Ragnar, and Tal
2. Harpy

You guys are up! Come on, so close!

Ander steps into a flanking position and slashes again.

[dice=Attack]1d20+8+2+2
[dice=Damage]1d10+1+2+5d6

You have to be kidding me.

Anders stepped into flanking, (I didn't get a change to edit the map) so Tal should get sneak damage on the second hit.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + (4, 1, 6, 6, 1) = 25

This really is getting ridiculous.

Reroll: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 + 3 = 28

Anders stepped into flanking, (I didn't get a change to edit the map) so Tal should get sneak damage on the second hit.

Retcon Sneak Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) = 10

Tal takes a 5foot step to flank win Ragnar.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (1, 3, 6) = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13, Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (5, 3, 1) = 14

Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2, 5, 1) = 14

And with two well-placed hits Tal brings the harpy down!

Out of combat!

With Tylaca the harpy queen dead, the ghost and the curse are gone from Passion's Edge and the party can return to Rangston's shop to collect the sword and check in on the injured Pathfinder. A simple retrieval mission turned into a sticky web of relationships spiced heavily with curses. Now holding the fabled sword, you can return to Absalom, delivering the weapon to Venture-Captain Shevala Iorae, who is grateful for your service.

And that's it! Congratulations!
