GM Neirikr's "The Dragon's Demand" (Inactive)

Game Master Neirikr

Is it ok that Nisany has Life Link on Skysy and Bernard before the fight? Since we knew we where headed towards a fight?

Sure, that's fine.

Sorry for the lack of posting.

Assuming I can't use Stunning Irruption?

There is no door to kick down, unfortunately.

Alackaday.

How does it get attacks of Opportunity against 3 charges?

Combat Reflexes and high Dexterity.

Moving

Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents. There are two common methods of avoiding such an attack—the 5-foot step and the withdraw action.

According to this chart a Charge does not provoke an AoO (scroll down to Full-round actions)

A relevant quote from below the same chart:

"Regardless of the action, if you move out of a threatened square, you usually provoke an attack of opportunity. This column indicates whether the action itself, not moving, provokes an attack of opportunity."

Taking the charge action does not, in itself, provoke attacks of opportunity, but the movement still does. Goladryth has a reach of 10 feet, so it can take attacks of opportunity as the gang passes through (i.e. in and out of) the squares it threatens.

@Bernard: Looking at the rules does make me realise that you can't combine a charge with Vital Strike. What's your previous damage without VS?

You can't? Rats! Guess it'd be 19 then.

Did we level up and my foggy brain forgot?

Did we level up and my foggy brain forgot?

You should be at level 6.

@Bernard & Vibenia: I still need your actions for this round.

LOOT:

• Large breastplate
• Medium voidglass falchion (magical)*

There's not much to do about the door at this point, other than to inspect it or bypass it with the potions of gaseous form you got from Pentosh (which would split the party). I'll shortly move you back to Thaena, so you can go ahead with your bamboozle plan.

Sorry for the janky pacing—I should probably just assume Nisany does the detect magic thing instead of waiting for IC exposition.

Sorry. Got logged out of my account and it took a while to get logged back in due to some issues with my email.

Assuming is fine. But unless Nisany can make the arcana check untrained then she isnt much help there.

You have my blessing to shuffle a few skill points around, if you want to invest in Arcana.

Before I start talking did we have a specific game plane in mind for lying to the snek lady?

"Perhaps we could send her on a fool's errand," says Bernard, working on a fiddly strap on his greaves. "She's so fixated on getting ol' Szangi's attention that we could trick her into heading out to get some rare component for him. Remove her from the scene, as it were."

He slides the strap in, buckles it tight, and straightens. "You know. Say he really needs... something like... essence of night from Ustalav, or whatever. And that we're certain he'll love her forever if she procures it for him. That'd take her out of the picture quite neatly."

*nudge*

I'm not going to lead this conversation, as Bernard's going to hang back and let Vibenia and Syksy take the lead.

Syksy want to lead (you're more convincing)

My bad, I thought I responded after GM posted the quoted text but I guess I fell asleep or something, will try to remember the words.

Shall we ask her how to get through the door to the window?

Ughhhh, okay, formulating lie.

I really need to figure out how this sword works so I can start using my class abilities with it >_<

I just realized that the mummy's tactics preclude it from taking its fourth attack (additionally, I'm not so sure it even could make a slam [its natural attack] as a part of its full attack with flurry, as its stat block would imply). Please subtract 25 points from Syksy's damage taken, and 10 points from Nisany's.

Also, *nudge*.

Syksy at -4, so still napping :3

Understandable. Anyone else want to post? :P

Will post in a bit.

Bernard also has life link so he takes 5 less

Thanks, Nisany!

Um, did Syksy just take over 100hp in damage in two rounds?

I think it ended up being 88 damage, without accounting for Nisany's life link. I did accidentally take a couple of extra attacks (rectified above).

Sheesh. Apologies for the ridiculous amounts of damage. This guy is supposed to be tough, but I'm also rolling stupidly well.

I will note that Azmur has one (1!) scroll of reincarnation on his person. You know, just in case everyone doesn't make it out alive.

I'd say given that Nisany's down here (the person she was supposed to protect) and hearing the violence and extreme distress in Vibenia's voice, Dusk would jump down to help.

Makes sense. There's a 10 feet drop, so she can reduce the falling damage to 0 by making a DC 15 Acrobatics checks. Otherwise, she takes 1d6 nonlethal.

So wait he did 45 damage...Nisany at full has 44.....she wasn't anywhere near full :(

I'm assuming Jump and move forward would be 2 actions so won't attack this round

Jumping is a part of your movement, so go ahead and attack.

Anyone else?

Sorry for the slowness. I am still struggling with my ability to focus and my memory. Guess those are my lingering covid symptoms.

And yeah Nisany was at 11 HP before that hit. Does that mean she is dead?

And yeah Nisany was at 11 HP before that hit. Does that mean she is dead?

I believe it does, even with the healing from last round. By my calculations, she would be at -22 hit points, but I didn't want to make any definitive declarations without your input—just in case you had some life oracle ability for the occasion, or something.

As I said, Azmur does have a scroll of reincarnation. Would you be cool with coming back as something other than a gnome?

Sure!

Good! Here's to hoping no one else goes down...

I hope she gets tall. That could be fun.

Feel free to roleplay out your brief mourning period, but I'm assuming you want to meet up with Azmur next? He can get Nisany back up and running, and he's promised to help you with the Window itself. Rather than dragging around Viterri, who isn't really all that useful, I think I'll just have Azmur come along and assist you from now on. You've already done what he asked and eliminated the all lieutenants, after all.

Syksy is also still unconscious. Viterri will stabilise her after the fight.

I suppose I'll just move us ahead, then? How's everyone doing?

Im good. curious what will happen next

Sorry for the delay. I'll post ASAP and throw a PM in Bernard's direction, as well.

Okay, I think we're going to use this expanded reincarnation table. Nisany, you can roll for yourself, and I'll give you one re-roll: if you do use it, we'll ignore the previous result if it comes up a second time, but otherwise you'll have to stick with the new result.

Sound good?

*crosses fingers for Bugbear*

Lol. whatever Nisany's happy with

Ye

reincarnation: 1d100 ⇒ 93

Owl people!

I will have to redue the character sheet. Not only does Niany get bigger but gets wings, feathers, and the best face!

Can I theme the look after whatever kinda owl I want?

reincarnation: 1d100 ⇒ 48

.. So curiosity got the better of me. Looks like it a half orc...
