GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

The big one stand in the pit, with no idea what to do.

Scum(+), Scum(12), Scum, Scum

Acid Dmg 10 rds left: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

With workman like efficency Grergof goes after the skum with his flail.

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 3 + 3 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 9 = 20
Heavy Flail - Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 3 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 9 = 21

HHold on Father Redgrave, I'm comming!

As he does this he refreshes himself of the damage done to him previously.

Loh: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 3, 1) = 12

And two more of the skum are history.

Scum(+), Scum(+)
Spugnoir, Darius <--
Scum(+), Scum(12), Scum, Scum

Spugnoir keeps swinging
Mace+1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Mace+1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darius fends off a couple of the attacks of the skum with some skilled parry's of his blade but still they come on furiously and manage to get a couple of attacks through, Darius then brings his sword arm back and slams his palm to the ground which would release white holy energy centered on him and spreading out in a 20ft burst, BUT as he does so he moves his head to the side as claws swipe at his face and the spell doesn't release properly as he brings his sword to bear, cursing under his breath.

Concentration: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Ugh, tried to Cast Holy Smite but didn't make it.

Spugnoir adds another wound to the skum in front of him.

Darius
trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Spugnoir
trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Grergof
trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Stam, Grergof, Spugnoir, Darius <--
Iq’lothatuaa(22), Scum(15), Scum, Scum

Don't they know when they are outmatched? Grergof asks rhetorically as he continues to strike at the Skum near him.

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 3 + 3 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 9 = 21
Heavy Flail - Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 3 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 9 = 24

Two more of the skum bite the dust. The last one flees down the dark tunnel.

But there is still the big one sitting in the acid pit.
Acid Damage: 20d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 2, 6, 1, 3, 2, 5, 2, 5) = 63

After quite a while he is brought back up.
Will Save DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

As soon as he is on level with the rest he charges whoever stands closest with his greataxe.
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 151d12 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

"Darius and Grergof are probably next to each other I would imagine. If so Darius will take two swipes with his sword at the big guy.

Haha those rolls are funny but they also suck.

Mace+1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Mace+1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

You should change your actions to aid for Grergof ;)
Spugnoir, Darius
Stam, Grergof <--
Iq’lothatuaa(87)

Ahh, the real leader!

Grergof steps up next to Iq'lothatuaa and bashes at him with his flail

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 3 + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 9 = 16
Heavy Flail - Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 3 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 9 = 19

But he is clearly being caution of this new enemy and he is not nearly as effective as normal.

The big skum might not be at his best condition. But the attacks of Grergof are off by far. The hulking creature retaliates with all it has. Which is mostly ineffective against Grergof's armor.
Axe: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 251d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Stam puts some force magic into the big creature not wanting to endanger his friends with more potent magic

Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 1, 1) + 5 = 11

"I can drop it into a pit again but everyone is to close" Stam shouts

You know you can always surrender?

Grergof punctuates his question with powerful swing of his flail.

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 14 - 3 + 3 = 25
Vital strike Damage: 2d10 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 7) + 6 + 9 = 26

Then he quietly refreshes himself.
LoH: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6, 2) = 20

This one is harder to defeat. Again Grergof doesn't manage to hurt him, even though he leaves a dent in the armor.

Spugnoir, Darius <--

Spugnoir withdraws around the nasty so he can set up a flank

Darius see's that they're not having much effect on this thing and hears Stam's message so he throws up his fist with his ram ring on it and a translucent Ram's head appears and rushes at the creature.

Using 3 charges

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 add another +2 if he's flanked
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13
CMB Bull Rush: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

The ram shoves the scum into the wall and kills it.

Is everyone OK?

Stam keeps back just in case the creature is faking being dead, "Well that was interesting, think these are the Others?" Stam asks, allowing his vision to slip into the magical spectrum stam looks around the room for magic alarms and on the dead to see if they have anything magical.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"The axe the beast had and his amulet are magical." Stam says, "Shall we press on?"

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

What do they do? They might be useful. The big guy did seem more difficult to hit then normal.

All set here. Maybe Varsk would like to switch from flail to axe.

"The amulet hardens your skin to damage, the axe is magic'd to increase your ability to defend yourself."

"Anyone besides me need any healing?"

is there a map?

I am fine

Mr. Stam, is this amulet more powerful then mine?

He holds out his amulet for you to compare.
Assuming you tell him it is.

Grergof replaces his amulet with the new one and offers his old Amulet of Natural Armor +1 to anyone else who wants it.

Then he tucks the axe on his back and is ready to leave as son as the others decide which way to go.

is there a map?

Imagine a rhombus with a round cave at every corner. You came down the stairs to the right corner and moved down to the bottom corner. And everything is close enough that you can deduct how they are connected. Top or left corner?

Top
A series of natural terraces forms a sloping passage descending to this cavern. Murky black waters filled with piles of compost and detritus flood the sloping northern floor of the cavern. A multitude of fungi and colorless subterranean creepers grow over and within this vile stew.

Left
This large, high-ceilinged cavern is mostly dry, faintly illuminated by patches of violet fungi growing on the walls and ceiling. A wide pool of clear water stands just inside the entrance. A pair of ledges run along the chamber’s north and south walls, accessed by wooden ladders. At the far end of the chamber, the floor drops into a pit, the top of a ladder just visible at its edge. Scattered across the floor of the room are a number of bedrolls and assorted personal possessions, including, strangely, a number of dressmaker’s dummies, some of them child-sized. The low, haunting melody of a woman singing carries through the chamber.

tell which one you choose to enter and I'll tell you what befalls you.

I vote top

Darius proceeds to heal himself before moving on.

Cure Serious: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 9 = 15

"The newer amulet will also harden more.... vital areas but not in a fashion that you might think." Stam says with a smirk. Following the others to the top Stam keeps magical light on the top of his quarter staff.

I guess we go Top.

Grergof takes one look at the room and says.
Proceed with caution, I would imagine there are some of those carnivorous fungi and oozes we fought before in that mess.

After saying this he hangs back peering ahead intently and not really too excited to head into that mess in case there is one of those oozes that eats metal.

Perception to find any dangers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

The party backpedals the way they came from and checks the next cave from there on. There is nothing of interest in this garbage dump. Only a shiny object might stir up some interest. But before someone could inspect further, the heap of rotting plants rises and slams with it's appendages at the them.

Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 232d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 = 15
Grab: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30
Who?: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Initiative Garbage: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Init Stam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Init Darius: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Init Grergof: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Init Spugnoir: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The garbage grabs Stam.
Stam <--
Garbage
Grergof, Spugnoir, Darius

Stealth Garbage): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Grergof doesn't notice the Garbage beforehand.

Stam scrambles to avoid the garbage pile, trying to dig his hands into the ground to not be pulled in.

"GAHHH!!!" Stam yells.

Concentration: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

I can do this, the DC is listed, Magic Missile stats

Magic Misslie: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 3, 2) + 5 = 14

No you can't. MM has a somatic component. Also you failed the concentration check.

Stam gets mangled by the creature.
Constrict: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 392d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 = 16

And another appendage lashes out at Darius, but misses.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Spugnoir adjusts his bombs so Stam will remain unharmed as he pitches two at the mound
Fire Bomb,PBS,Precise Shot,Precise Bomb,Touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 205d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 1, 4) + 6 = 16
Fire Bomb,PBS,Precise Shot,Precise Bomb,Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 255d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 4, 5) + 6 = 27

Put that good man down!Grergof roars as he moves up to the creature and introduces it to his flail with a powerful swing.

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 3 + 3 = 31
Vital Strike Damage + Power Attack: 2d10 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (1, 7) + 7 + 9 = 24

Spugnoir hits the garbage easily, but it doesn't burn too well. Grergof reliably adds a big wound to the creature.
Garbage (47)
Grergof, Spugnoir
Darius, Stam <--

[spoiler=Foxy]I figured as much[/ooc]

Stam squirms in vein trying to get free

Darius delays until after the garbage and casts liberating command on Stam.
+20 on escape artist check. (immediate action)

The Garbage wrings out Stam again and lashes out at Grergof. But misses the paladin.
Constrict: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 3) + 9 = 17
Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Spugnoir tries two frost bombs, making sure to adjust so they don't harm his allies.
Frost Bomb,PBS,PS,Precise,Touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 255d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 2, 4) + 6 = 22

Stam continues to struggle against the garbage
