GM R Box - Jade Regent AP

Game Master Twistlok

Durian is towards the back of the group and doesn't have time to move in to the newly opened room before hearing some sounds coming from the opposite door.

He slips past Tahata and gets ready to jump on anything coming through the door.

There's still someone here! I hear weapons being drawn!

ready an action to make an unarmed strike against anything coming out of the closed door

to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The door creeks open and behind it Durian sees an undead horror which he immediatly throws a punch at. Sadly for him the punch fails to connect as he misjudged how far back the fiend was.

Despite holding a blade the creature lashes out with its fist to slam Durian .

Slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Energy Drain: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 DC13 Fort prevents

The creature is still out of the view of most of you.

is it possible to move past Durian into the room, AoO be damned?

Acrobatics/Escape Artist check to get though without an AOO I will randomise who gets the AOO if more then one character makes this move. Naturally the move must be within your movement range.

You can move though allies square under the assumption that they would 'make way'.

Seeing the undead monstrosity step out from the other room, "Pardon!" The monk warned the dwarf in front of him, slipping past the brawler before trying to evade past his opponent, enter the room in which the threat emerged, and give it a taste of monk power.

Move Action: Acrobatics my way past my Threatened Squares.
Standard Action: Unarmed Strike on the undead.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Unarmed Strike + Flank - Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Durian is startled by the creature that opens the door and swings way short.

AAAH! what is that thing?! that's no ogrekin!

Luckily Miyagi is quicker to react, and seeing the monk fly past in an impressive move snaps Durian out of it. He punches at the undead creature, then steps back to make way for his companions, holding his spear at the ready.

Two attacks, power attack with flank. then a 5 foot step out of the way

First attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 23
crit damage?: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Second punch: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

At Durian's shout, Kagyu moves quickly to to his defense but stops short when he sees the rotting weight. He slams the point of his shield against the ground and a pressure wave emenates from the shield's songbird emblem.

Channel energy attack: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Losjien can't squeeze into the tight corridor. He stands back and waits his moment.

Move 5'
Delay action

Tahata hears Miyagi's and Durian's shouts, as does Maitoh who's ears swivel quickly towards the sounds of combat. The narrow confines prevent either of them from approaching, however, so Tahata again begins to gather energy, drawing it from the stones and the air. He steps forward as he does so, ready to conjure a creature into the room.

Free Action to 5ft step, Full Round Action to begin casting [I]summon nature's ally I.

Miyagi-san and Durian each land heavy blows on the wight. Durian hits the creature hard enough that it staggers back a step from the force. Kagyu rushes up and calls upon the power of his faith to bring the creatures second existence to a sudden end.

[u] Combat Over [/u]

With the wight finally at rest the party can take a moment to examine the room he came from and search his body.

T19. Captain’s Quarters
Trophy displays for armor and weapons, along with a large bed, an ornate writing desk, and a leather chair, lie in shambles in this chamber, smashed to ruins. A thick layer of dust clings to everything in the room.

On the body the first item of note is a beautiful dragon helm.

Loot sheet updated.

Tomorrow is my last day before vacation. My wife has asked that I not bring my laptop so I will only have a phone and iPad. I will post as able but assume the game will be mostly on hold until I get back on the 4th.

One day I'll cast a spell!

Again Tahata harmlessly grounds the magical energy he was gathering as their opponent falls lifelessly to the floor. "I feel it is time to ascend," he suggests.

Knowledge(History): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Gortrek grunted, once again unable to even get a strike in. More concerned about finding the source of Ameiko's illness than arguing about where to go, he stayed quiet in an effort to speed up the search.

"Very well, Tahata, let's see what is above us. hopefully less undead and more answers!"

Durian takes a moment to look at the fine helm and sword, but with no ability with a longsword and no knowledge of this helm he is quickly ready to move on.

Kagyu looks at the armors and sizes them up against himself. I've been meaning to to try out some full plate...

Are any of the armors full plate that would fit Kagyu? Eh? Eh?

"So long as magical friends still have confidence to continue, Miyagi have fists that never waver. Let us move." Miyagi says in agreement, following the group.

Kagyu: The trophies are all worn with age and unusable beyond the items I listed.

Confident the lower floor is clear the group heads up.

U16. Haunted Guard Post
Judging from the blood and gouges marring the walls, a terrific battle once took place in this guard room. The two side rooms (areas U16a) were once armories, but these chambers now stand empty.

The only exit from this room is a set of double doors. There is no sign of activity beyond.

U8. Feasting Hall (pg. 42)
This chamber reeks of rotten food and bird droppings. A long dining table sits in the middle of the room, heaped with partially eaten animal carcasses and several thick eggshells. This room is clearly where the corbies feed but none are present at the moment.

Area U9 is a disgusting washroom.

There are multiple exits from this room.

The state of the upper floor is even more ghastly than the floor below. Tahata keeps his spear at the ready and Maitoh by his side as the group looks around. He moves carefully up to the door next to the stinking washroom and listens for sounds of activity.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

With a new area and a million ways to go, the monk felt lost as to which way they should go. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided that the wisdom of his ancestors would choose for him. Covering his eyes, the monk turned in place for a few moments before stopping and facing...

Cardinal Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 5

...directly south. Giving a quick nod, he slowly made his way to a set of double doors and slowly opened them up.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Durian scratches his beard as he watches the monk dancing around the room for a bit. The monk seems confident, however so Durian shrugs his shoulders and follows behind Miyagi, spear at the ready

Miyagi-san uses a fairly unique way of choosing a door and in doing finds the following.

U7. Ballroom Balcony
A ten-foot wide balcony winds around an ancient ballroom below. A rickety-looking railing runs along the balcony’s edge. You can only imagine that, had he still been alive, this is where you would face Kikonu for a second time. As it is you find nothing but an empty round room.

Without him there all you find are five corbies, a bit larger then those you fought downstairs. They clearly were not expecting you and are taken by surprise by the opening doors.

Going to leave it there until I get back from Disney. Please make your 1st round actions and feel no rush I will not get back for a week.

Also the loot sheet has been updated if anyone wants that +1 Longsword please note it.

Tahata hears a sudden series of loud squawks of surprise as Miyagi opens a set of doors down a short corridor. Abandoning the door he had planned to open he calls to Maitoh, "Maitoh, daban," before jogging towards the sound. Seeing the flock of corbies in the gallery beyond, Tahata readies for another fight.

Tahata - Free Action to handle Maitoh, two Move Actions to move 55ft.
Maitoh - two Move Actions to follow Tahata.

Durian sees another flock of Corbies, but before charging in headlong notices that they seems a bit larger and more intimidating than the ones downstairs.

"We've got more Corbies!" he yells back to the group of allies still in the main room.

He moves into the room cautiously, back to the wall and waves his spear around in small circles in a threatening manner.

Ready an action to take an unarmed attack at the first corbie to get within my 5' zone.
readied attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

And an AoO with the long spear if one of them passes through my reach range in trying to get to us
longspear AoO: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 3 = 15

The monk quickly regretted consulting the wisdom of the ancestors as he opened the door and saw more the deadly birds in front of them. He gave a few nervous chuckles and saying "N-Not best moment..." before calling out a threatening kiai as he stepped into the room, waiting for his foes to close in.

Five foot step in
Ready Action: Attack first corby that comes within reach

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

You had a week and only three of you acted?

Miyagi-san and Durian prepare to engage the corbies as they come closer while Tahata moved into the combat area.

Readied actions will go off on corbies turn.

Gortrek heard the remarks of his comrades. He quickly moved towards the sound of impending battle.

Full-Round: Double move.

Losjien steps forward and launches acid at the Corbie. First within reach

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Acid Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Great start back up for Losjien!

Botting Kagyu

Gortrek and Kagyu both move up so they may engage next round with the corbies while Losjien moves and throws a ball of acid in the general direction of the corbies. The acid hits and slowly slides down the wall a good distance from any target.

The pink corbie lowers its head and charges at Miyagi-san who lands a powerful blow as it approaches snapping the creatures head back and knocking it our of the fight. Nice timing for a crit.

The blue corbie likewise lowers its head and impales itself on Durian's spear as it advances. It hits the ground with a wet thud.

The yellow and black corbies follow their comrades in and at least manage to not get killed immediately as they to charge at the interlopers.

Charge @ Durian: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Charge @ Miyagi-san: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The red corbie has a moment of indecision before moving to flee though the double doors on the far side of the room.

Acid Throw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

"HA!"

Tahata steps forward quickly to take on the corbies, even as two of them are felled by his comrades. "Maitoh, hücum!" he calls, lunging forward to attack. The wolf obeys, barrelling past the nearest corby to sink his teeth into it.

Tahata - Free Action to handle Maitoh, Move Action to move 10ft, Standard Action to attack.
Maitoh - Move Action to Acrobatics past black to avoid the AoO (Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24), Standard Action to attack black.

Damage, Power Attack: 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 = 11
Trip vs CMD if hits: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Durian takes a step to the side of the Corbie, then punches at it twice with his left hand, still keeping the spear ready if needed.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 1 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

second attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 1 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Seeing Gortrek hesitate, Kagyu steps into the remaining position between the two corbies and attempts to stab one with his spear.

attack vs yellow,flanking : 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

While KOing one of the birds with a single punch was an achievement for the monk, getting hit never feels great. He grit his teeth before shouting as he punched the bird.

Flurry of Blows on Yellow

Unarmed Strike-PAt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Unarmed Strike-PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Losjien singes the black corbie while Tahata finishes him off with his spear. no crit Duiran cannot connect with the yellow bird man but Miyagi-san does and bloodies the creature.

Kagyu also flashes forward with his spear but misses the injured creature.

Attack on Yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage Perhaps?: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Gortrek slays the yellow corbie where it stands but the red one makes it out of the room. As it flees it shrieks at an incrediabbly high pitch over and over again and when the doors open the shrieking is picked up by others as two large bats sweep into the room. Taking advantage of the height the both swoop in and up even with the balcony, about 10ft off the ground.

As the bats swoop in Losjien ducks and moves to the side of the room hugging a wall.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Without getting a good look at the creature swooping in Losjien offers advice anyway.

Watch your hats!
Move 15'
Acid Splash @Blue

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Seeing the intrusion, the monk called out "Miyagi try to bring one down! Pray for success!" before running up beneath the thing, closing the distance with a jump, and punching it where he thought the gut was. "Tekken!"

Move Action: Get a 20ft running start before high jumping 5ft to get into range
Standard Action: Power Attacking Unarmed Strike with Stunning Fist. DC 14 Fort if successfully hit.

Acrobatics for High Jump: 5ft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Unarmed Strike+Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Gortrek grumbled. He was not built for long range combat. As the remaining corbie fled, he decided to leave the flying creatures to his comrades.

After quickly jogging after, he shouted. "Modotte meiyode watashi ni chokumen shi tari, nigete eien ni okubyōmono no burando ni narimasu!"

Move Action:Move
Standard Action:Call Out the Red Corbie

Intimidate to Call Out: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

The huge bats are like nothing Tahata has ever seen and their awkward hovering flight prevents him and Maitoh from attacking them. "Maitoh, qorumaq," he says to the wolf who holds his position at Tahata's side, ready to protect his master should one of the bats approach.

Tahata drops his spear at his feet and pulls his bow from it's quiver at his side. Drawing and nocking an arrow with speed, he pulls back the string and looses the arrow at the nearest bat.

Tahata - Free Action to handle Maitoh, Free Action to drop my spear, Move Action to draw my bow, Standard Action to attack red.
Maitoh - Standard Action to Ready to attack any enemies that come within reach.

Bow attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Losjien is a bit thrown off by the swooping in of large bats and can neither tell much about them or connect with his acid splash.

Superstar Miyagi-san however shows some skills leaping high into the air and strking the blue bat hard in the snout.

Gortrek strides forward calling out the remaining corbie who is clearly responding to what was said weather or not he can understand the words.

Tahata also cannot work out the nature of the threat but knows enough to lob an arrow into one of the attackers for minimal damage.

Bold may act (notes pg40)
Round 3

Red, Blue Bat (-9HP), Red Bat {-1hp)

Seeing Miyagi's impressive leaping attack, Kagyu moves into range of the other bat, spear in hand waiting for an opportune moment to attack. As he waits he patiently studies the beast (but cannot make an untrained check for DCs over 10)

Ready a action: spear attack if the bat comes in range.

Durian uses the long reach of his spear to join in the fray, charging one of the bats.

Charge and power attack against blue using Durian's 10' reach

longspear: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 = 11

Durian's spear digs into the blue bat giving him a face full of bat blood as it flies past and screeches at an ungodly volume.

The shriek is so intense that Gortrek (2), Losjein (1) and Maitho (3) are staggered.

The red bat does a fly by attack on Kagyu as it passes over. In the process it does open itself up for your readied action. Next time just roll in the initial post.

Fly By Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Staggered
A staggered creature may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions).
A staggered creature can still take free, swift, and immediate actions. A creature with nonlethal damage exactly equal to its current hit points gains the staggered condition.

The bat's scream is so intense that Tahata feels it in his teeth as the creature flies towards him and he sees Maitoh's ears fold down against the sound. The wolf seems groggy but is still upright enough to growl back at the bat.

GM - how high up is red? Is it within my reach or is it flying higher?

GM, did the bat thing make the Fort save against my Stunning Fist or did you miss it?

Losjien winces as his ear pierce from the shriek. He Leans against the wall to steady himself and screams back @blue.

"WRAHH!"

Staggered standard action
Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Unable to hear himself over the shrieking he smiles as the bat is drenched in acid.

As the bat came into range Kagyu lashed out with his spear.

Spear attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

...and readied another attack while grumbling under his breath, "I hate flyers."

Readied spear attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Radioed attack damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Durian follows the blue bat, bracing himself against the screeching noise. He tries to hit it again with his long spear.

spear power attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 = 14

Does Durian get an AoO against blue the bat as it flies away from him? He just had reach to the bat, he didn't have to jump up like Miyagi. if so, that's below

spear AoO: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 = 14

with that roll it really didn't matter!

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

I did miss the fort save but it passed easily.

Red is withing reach

Losjien connects with some more acid at the blue furred bat but none of Kagyu's attacks find their mark. Durian however manages to connect with his spear and the blue bat tobbles to the ground. Fortunatly it did not land on any of you.

"Maitoh, hücum! says Tahata and the wolf lunges somewhat woozily at the bat. At the same time Tahata drops his bow and, leaving his spear on the ground, pulls a stout club from his belt and tries to whack the bat with it as he steps around the flying creature.
