GM Endless Forms' Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Kufieno charges the northern goblin and stabs with his shortsword.

Charge!: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2) = 5

Rissi shows brave as she steps forward and unleashes a gout of burning flames (missing Kufieno). She clutches an alchemist fire at her belt as she does so.

Kufieno, may I include you? If kufieno says yes, I'll hit both, else I'll just hit Grogmurt.

@Rissi: Sure! Kufieno is born of the elements!

@Kufieno: DC 16 reflex take none, fail take 1 fire

Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

I just wanted to point out that I now have +4 initiative (with the change of feat we've talked about).

Thanks. I'll change it in my initiative copy-paste. That will move you up before Gogmurt.

---

@Kufieno: by northern goblin I think you mean the cougar.

Kufieno moves up and smacks the bit cat!

TT Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
GM Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

The black and red cat jumps completely out of the flames that Rissi sends bursting at the enemies. Gogmurt is also quick to jump but still gets singed.

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 5 dmg
GM: 3 dmg

Lucian is up!

Similarly, Miana has always a +2 to Init... although the dice aren't working for me anyway :P

Lucian takes a step forward, and a cone of flames engulf the goblin and the cat.

Casting burning hands on both, fire damage: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6, Ref DC 16 halves.

@Miana: Thanks! I have it fixed.

TT Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
GM Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

The cat is less lucky this time but Gogmurt once again leaps out of the way of the brunt of the flames.

---

Gogmurt cackles in delight as he brings his flame blade down on Kufieno!

flame blade (touch attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 11 dmg
GM: 6 dmg

Seal is up!

GM, may I take some liberties and say that Seal would have been leading the group into the next passage. As is, we just started where the PCs were last placed on the map. Therefore he would have a closer starting point?

If not, ignore everything below and we can just say he double moved into position.

Seal shuffles in behind Kufiendo with his chain swirling over head.

"Tangletooth, I choose you!"

Power Attack, Cleave vs FF Tangletooth AC : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

"Don't think I forgot about you blade boy!"

Power Attack, Cleave vs Gogmurt AC : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 271d10 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

If Seal hit TT, he gets +2 to hit vs Gogmurt. The same +2 carries over on Crit roll.

Crit Power Attack, Cleave vs Gogmurt AC : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

GM, may I take some liberties and say that Seal would have been leading the group into the next passage. As is, we just started where the PCs were last placed on the map. Therefore he would have a closer starting point?

Yes, I'm fine with that. If you guys are ever unhappy with your starting positions, rearrangement is usually fine (unless you are surprised or attacked from behind or something like that).

---

Seal swings hits weapon in direction of the cougar but it proves tougher to hit than he imagined.

---

Tangletooth responds by lashing out at Kufieno for hitting him earlier!

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 11 dmg
GM: 6 dmg

Miana, Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian are up!

Rissi pulls out a scroll and begins to perform incantations. Full-round

Lucian takes a step back and blesses Miana with guidance of the gods.

Casting guidance.

"Then expect this from the people of Sandpoint!", Miana curses at the goblin, thrusting her blade at him while in a side horse-riding stance to keep a lower profile.
Swift action to fight defensively, +4 AC until next init

Temple Sword fighting Defensively @ GT: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 2 = 8
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kufieno stabs at the cat from the ground, then retrievves the shocking wand.

Rissi takes a reading break while Lucian gives out guidance.

Miana swings her sword but her new stance is not helping her attack.

Kufieno likewise has trouble stabbing the cat now that he lies on the ground.

---

Gogmurt cackles at Miana's fighting style. "Hee hee! Stupid longshanks! Fire is only fighting needed!"

flame blade (touch attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 11 dmg
GM: 6 dmg

Seal is up!

"It seems your fire isn't good enough", as Miana narrowly avoids the blade of flame.

Seal loosens his grip a bit on his chain to allow for more finesse with his swing.

Cleave vs TT: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Seal draws the fisted shaped ball back into his hands and looks at it with a scowl.

"What is wrong with you!"

Seal swings his weapon but it fails him.

---

The cougar continues to go after Kufieno while the suli tries to defend himself from the ground!

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 11 dmg
GM: 6 dmg

Miana, Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian are up!

"Kufieno!", Miana calls out as he is getting mauled. Still in her one legged stance, she whips her blade twice in rapid succession at the beast.

Defensive Flurry temple sword @ TT: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 - 2 = 14
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Defensive Flurry temple sword @ TT: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 2 = 13
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

At least my BAB will be going up with each level after this <_<

Lucian provides Miana with a guiding hand again. Casting guidance again.

Kufieno tries to tap the kitty with the wand.

What was the CL? One?

Melee Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 4 = 5
Shock!: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Whatever badguy has less hd can make a will save (DC 11) or fall asleep (up to 4 hd worth)

Rissi pulls another scroll and starts casting again.

Miana tries to hit the cat but finds it quite dexterous.

Lucian again gives guidance to Miana.

Kufieno tries to hit the cat with a wand but his aim is off.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Rissi tries to put the cat to sleep but it resists and keeps fighting!

---

Gogmurt looks disappointed that his fire seems less than effective against the two suli before him. However, he's not the smartest goblin (and that's saying something) and he hasn't the faintest idea what a suli is, so he keeps swinging his flame blade at Miana!

flame blade (touch attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Confirming:flame blade (touch attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The statblock doesn't list a crit range but the spell says, "You wield this blade-like beam as if it were a scimitar." So I'm just assuming that means it has the crit range of a scimitar; not sure why else they would call out scimitar instead of just saying a "one handed blade".

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
4. Tangletooth
5. Miana

TT: 11 dmg
GM: 6 dmg

Seal is up!

Seal continues to try and deliver the two for one special he's been promising Gogmurt and Tangletooth.

Don't duck this time. Kitty needs to go to sleep.

Cleaving Power Attack vs TT: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

+2 to hit GM if TT is hit.

Cleaving Power Attack vs GM: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Seal drops the cat and follows it by smacking into the goblin!

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
5. Miana

GM: 18 dmg

Miana, Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian are up!

Lucian sees the cat fall and moves in, morningstar at the ready while he does so. Coming near the goblin, he tries to smack it with his bludgeon.

"Foul goblin, die!" he shouts in a very cliché way, maybe out of frustration to have been standing being for the whole fight. Needless to say, Lucian's attempt at heroics fails miserably as his morningstar swings at least two feet above the goblin's head.

Morningstar: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 31d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kufieno reaches out with the wand, attempting to touch the goblin.

MTA: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16
Shocker!: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Rissi finishes a second scroll of sleep, which now targets Grogmurt! (DC 11)

She follows with a splash of acid.

acid splash: 1d20 + 4 - 8 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 8 = 3
acid: 1d3 ⇒ 2

"Your flames of evil have no effect on me!", she taunts, trying once again to finish off the goblin.

Defensive flurry temple sword @ GM: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 - 2 = 14
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Defensive flurry temple sword @ GM: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 - 2 = 12
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Nope :P My dice have been mediocre for these combats lately.

@Rissi; the mage armor would be appreciated! I'll have to get a pearl of power for you just for that purpose :P

@It's from a scroll, but thank you for being considerate

Lucian moves in and steps over the body of the cougar. Although his words are powerful, his swing is less so.

Kufieno activates his wand and touches the goblin, sending a shock of electricity that leaves the goblin's hair on end.

Miana then sends a flurry of blows against the goblin's leather armor.

Rissi finishes her scroll but Gogmurt seems unaffected. Her glob of acid then burns into the briar behind the goblin.

---

"Longshanks!" Gogmurt calls out as Lucian moves in, "are you more flammable than these longshanks?" He swings his blade of fire at the oracle.

flame blade: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
5. Miana

GM: 22 dmg

You guys are up!

Lucian feels a terrible pain and screams the moment the flame blade burns his flesh. That's a threat if I'm not mistaken, so you can roll your confirmation roll.

Also, does Gogmurt have 4 HD or less? will save for him, DC 11 or sleep (I used a 2nd scroll of sleep)

Rissi grabs an acid flask and throws another acid splash - it freakishly lands true!

touch: 1d20 + 4 - 8 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 8 = 16
acid: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Confirmation:
touch: 1d20 + 4 - 8 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 8 = -2

"What was that? I couldn't hear you after your cat crying."

Power Attack vs Gogmurt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Miana continues her assault on the vile goblin.

Defensive temple flurry @ GM: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 2 = 3
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Defensive temple flurry @ GM: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Yep, sorry, didn't notice the crit threat:

confirm (touch): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
fire damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

---

Gogmurt has more than 4 HD; the sleep spell did not affect him.

---

Rissi hits dead-on with her glob of acid this time!

Seal swings his weapon at the goblin but misses.

Miana then finds a weak spot and slashes at the goblin.

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
5. Miana

GM: 33 dmg

Kufieno and Lucian are up!

@EF: oops on the sleep effect. As Feral likes to say, reading is hard.

Kufieno tries to hit the goblin with the wand once more.

MTA: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 4 = 3
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Lucian, hurting badly, decides to retreat. (withdraw NW, SW, W)

Kufieno misses with his bad touch while Lucian retreats.

---

DC 17 Defensive Casting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Gogmurt steps away and some of his wounds seem to heal as he works magic over himself.

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
5. Miana

GM: 22 dmg

You guys are up!

Rissi moves and splashes with acid!

hit: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 = 9
dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Seal squeezes past Kufieno to gain a clear shot at the goblin that is trying to escape.

"No, don't leave! I have to tell you my joke about the unicorn and the pickle."

Swing batta, batta.

Power Attack vs Gogmurt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 241d10 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Lucian steps forward and touches Kufieno's shoulder to provide him with guidance.

Miana leaves the space open, trying to give Sealman an open space to strike. Still whirring her blade around, she tries to clip the goblin again.

Defensive templesword flurry @ GM: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Defensive templesword flurry @ GM: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 2 = 9
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Le sigh

Rissi's acid misses but Seal's attack hits the spot.

Lucian guides Kufieno's next attack while Miana's blade whirs past the dancing goblin.

Initiative:

1. Kufieno, Rissi, and Lucian
2. Gogmurt
3. Seal
5. Miana

GM: 33 dmg

Kufieno is up!

Kufieno attacks with the wand again.

MTA: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Kufieno, Gogmurt is no longer in melee range for you any more. You can stand, 5' step and attack if you wish.

I'm assuming Kufieno does just that.

With of jolt of electricity, Kufieno shocks the goblin into unconsciousness!

Out of combat!
