"Snack on this, ye dozy pile o' aurochs droppings. Yer b#@!%+#s're achin' fer the not-so-gentle caress o' me hammer. Oh, an' she ain't been t' th' healer recent, so this might burn a little!"

Whiskeyjack grinned as his own hammer lit up with flames.

Standard for Fire blessing. Don't forget the Saving Shield +2 to any adjacent allies who get attacked, as an immediate action.

Arval takes a step closer to the troll and lunges with his flaming sword.
"HERE!"

Power atk roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (2) = 15

5 foot step to the left and attacking.

Kawrock quickly shifts into the form of an eagle and flies to the top of the gate house.

Have a fly speed of 80, but counted the squares as double to gain altitude as well.

I don't have a melee weapon out to take the AoO.

Eldon 5-foot steps back outside so he's no longer flanked by the trolls. he draws his rapier and raises it up in the air.

"I will now tell the story of how I, the mightily epic Eldon Appleton, once slayed monsters more than twice your size! It all happened on a sunny summer morning..."

IC +2 is back up!

Lena casts a spell at the troll at the back (the without the o one, back left)

molten orb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 touch attack

damage: 2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 + 2 = 10

splash: 1d6 ⇒ 4

DC17 reflex to all splash targets or catch on fire for 1d3 rounds (1d6 damage). Target automatically catches fire 1d3 rounds. Can only be put out by water/snow or 5 pts of cold damage. a save also halves damage from initial splash

splash targets are the purple goblin, and the leader troll.

Wren shoots across the sky, an explosion of colour frantically flapping her arms like the world's most awkward bird of paradise.

The group immediately retaliates against the very uncomfortably cramped trolls. Their eyes widen with fear as they see the weapons light up. Lena's big ball of fire flies into their midst and the entire tower shudders as the trolls all hammer into the walls escaping the ball. The goblin misses the worst of it, but the leader catches on fire!

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

The trolls start roaring and thrashing in the base of the tower. Two of them reach out to grab goblins!

CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

The largest troll leaps upon Whiskeyjack, biting and clawing, catching the dwarf with one claw.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The second troll spies Eldon scampering away, talking incessantly.

"Burrahobbits! Thems good eatin!"

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Astonishingly, Eldon manages to block one attack on his buckler and duck out of the way of the others.

Everyone is up! Whiskeyjack takes 13 damage.

Kawrock flies in from the roof and fires a bolt of fire from his talons at the closet Troll.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Round Six

Wren moves up to touch Arval on the back. "Hit them hard, dearie!" Wren instructs the bigger man.

ARVAL!: Take +2 insight bonus to your attacks, saves, skills, ability checks for 1 round (until Wren's turn again).

Arval grins as he feels the magic infuse him. He pulls back his sword and attacks the same creature in the lower left corner.
"Like some fire in your gut?"
He yells as the sword cuts his enemy.

Power atk roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (2) = 16

@Arval: Did you include the bonuses from Inspire Courage?

...the monsters there also tried to club me, but as you can see I'm epically good at dodging. Which, by the way, reminds me of this one time I entered a dodge-ball competition...

While running his mouth to "inspire" everyone around him, or rather annoy them so much they swing their weapons with increased frustration, Eldon pokes his rapier at the same troll Arval attacked.

Rapier, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27 Damage, IC: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Inspire Courage +2 continues!

Nope! Thanks for the reminder! I would still like to add those if possible GM!

Arval swings out brutally at the troll, scoring a vicious hit. Eldon doughtily attacks as well against the enormous monster, showing his own fencing prowess as he scores a hit on the troll's ankle.

Circling overhead, Kawrock releases a bolt of flame which scores on the troll as well!

Lena and Whiskeyjack are up!

Len a starts intoning in a fiery tone. Another orb of heat and earth forms in her hand. she throws the result at a troll in the back line (triangle)

molten orb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 touch attack

damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

splash damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

fire for 1d3 ⇒ 1 rounds

DC 17 reflex to halve splash damage as above

Most people (including myself) continuously forget to add IC bonuses, in pretty much every game... xD

Round Seven

Wren taps Arval on the back again. "That's right, Dearie, just do what I say!" Wren instructs the bigger man.

ARVAL!: Take +2 insight bonus to your attacks, saves, skills, ability checks for 1 round (until Wren's turn again).

GMPCing Whiskeyjack.

Lena's molten orb flies in again, exploding into molten, dripping fire which covers the trolls. THey all scream, the gatehouse shuddering as they thrash about.

Whiskeyjack swings out at the lead troll, but his flaming hammer bounces off of its difficult hide.

The flaming, pissed off, infuriated trolls counterattack. The two in the back grab their flaming goblins and with a roar throw them all at Lena! Their aim is poor however, and the two goblins soar overhead!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

The trolls at the back, realizing they're just tkaing up space, try to scramble up to the top of the gatehouse again, squeezing themselves into the tiny stairwells.

The two trolls leap upon Whiskeyjack and Arval as the most dangerous-looking targets to them. Whiskeyjack barely manages to fend off the assault while Arval is grabbed by the head and slammed into the side of the gatehouse! He keeps hi feet as blood streams down his face. Some of the wounds made by regular weapons heal on the huge lead troll.

Arval takes 22 damage from a nasty crit, (using Whiskeyjack's saving shield). Everyone is up! The trolls in the back are midway up the stairwell now.

Arval grunts as the blood streams from his face. He growls as thrusts his sword in the creature's stomach.
"Fancy s#@&ting fire?"
He says as he twists the sword in his stomach. After he pulls its back he spits a glob of blood on the ground.

Power attack roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 30
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (9) + 10 + (2) = 21

Seeing he's mostly ignored by the trolls, who aim for the biggest threats, Eldon decides he'll aid Arval in his defense.

Aid Arval for a +2 bonus to AC versus the troll that just hurt him, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Or the nearest other enemy if that one's downed by Arval's attack.

Meanwhile, Eldon continues to chat about playing dodge-ball on the beach during a hot summer afternoon. "...and, of course, we all went for a milkshake afterward. I remember the milkshake like it was only yesterday. It was a pistachio flavored milkshake, truly extraordinaire! The others took different flavors, which were, of course, not as good as the one I took..."

Inspire Courage +2 continues!

attack, ic: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
damage, ic: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8 + fire: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Whiskeyjack shook his head and then launched another blow at the nearest troll. "Arval, lad, ye okay?'

Concentrating on Arval's target until it drops. Saving shield back up!

Round Eigth

Wren touches Arval on the back again. "Yes, that's right, Dearie. Keep doing that." Wren instructs the bigger man.

ARVAL!: Take +2 insight bonus to your attacks, saves, skills, ability checks for 1 round (until Wren's turn again).

GMPCing Whiskeyjack.

** spoiler omitted **

Lena's molten orb flies in again, exploding into molten, dripping fire which covers the trolls. THey all scream, the gatehouse shuddering as they thrash about.

Whiskeyjack swings out at the lead troll, but his flaming hammer bounces off of its difficult hide.

The flaming, pissed off, infuriated trolls counterattack. The two in the back grab their flaming goblins and with a roar throw them all at Lena! Their aim is poor however, and the two goblins soar overhead!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

Flaming, Goblin missiles? That's awesome!

Lena blinked as the goblins screamed over her head. That was the third weirdest thing she had ever seen (lena had a net mind in many ways).

She shook her head and examined te battle. Arval and whiskyjack were taking the battle to the trolls. Wren, was back, poking arval in the back? And eldon was getting in the way. Still he seemed to be having fun. What to do?

Of course, encouragement and a spell.

Arval, Whiskeyjack! You nearly have him! Take him down! Eldon, what are the dietary habits of trolls? Wren, stop poking arval in the back and cast a spell.

magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) + 3 = 10 at the leader troll, or the nearest other if he is down.

Whiskeyjack's hammer slams into the huge troll's leg, causing it to fall to one knee. Arval then steps onto the troll's knee and leaps into the air, torquing his body as his blade slashes right through its throat, leaving a trail of fire. Lena's magic missile then soars between them all, nailing the big troll in the eyes. He crashes to the ground, splayed out.

Kawrock is up! Big troll is dead!

Buff central here! That is some serious damage we're doing :)

Lena calls on her inner power, and flicks a fire bolt at the last troll

fire bolt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 touch attack

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

and promptly kills a passing duck in the sky, figuratively speaking.

Kawrock flies back up to cut off one of the trolls retreat. Throwing a another firebolt at the panicked foe.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

One of the trolls emerges on the roof, only to get a firebolt in the face from Kawrock. It roars in pain, and quickly moves to the southern tower, picking up a rock. The other troll reaches the roof and, spying Kawrock, does the same.

Back on the main floor, the lone troll looks around and then roars so loud the entire tower shakes before trying to rip Arval's head off! However, it just claws uselessly on his shield.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The goblins, somehow, miraculously alive, flee screaming into the distance.

Burn: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Burn: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Lena fires a bolt into the sky uselessly, and the rest of the group can act!

No damage, everyone is up!

attack, ic: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12 + fire: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Whiskeyjack kept his shield up and covering Arval while trying to attack the troll's legs from below. It was an awkward combination, and the blow didn't land. "Le's drop this wrinkled sack o' camel droppin's so I ken be healin' ye, lad!"

Saving shield back up!

AC = 27 (saving shield and Eldon's spell)

Arval changes his focus on the remaining troll, he nearly growls when he swings his sword but manages to hold it in.

Power atk roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 21
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (2) = 16

Round Nine

"Wren, stop poking Arval in the back and cast a spell."

Wren looks confused as if she forgot she could cast spells. "Oh, bother, I can do that right? Where did all the other trolls go?" Wren looks around. "When they come back, I'll see what I can do. But this is just so much fun!"

Wren touches Arval again. "Hit them hard, dearie!" Wren instructs the bigger man.

ARVAL!: Take +2 insight bonus to your attacks, saves, skills, ability checks for 1 round (until Wren's turn again).

Wren is perfect. Never change.

Whiskeyjack's hammer just bounces off of the troll's knee but Almalik is luckier as the mighty warrior slashes open the troll brutally.

Kawrock and Eldon are up!

Watching the trolls pick up rocks to throw at him, Kawrock decides to try and persuade the trolls to go back down stairs. With a few heavy flaps of his wings he sends a heavy rain of ash down on top of the tower, blinding and limiting the trolls movements. In his eagle form he circles the tower looking for any troll brave enough to jump.

Casting Ash storm centered on the top of the tower. Spell only has a 20 foot height so I do not believe it will effect the lower level.

The trolls roar in confusion as they are blinded by the dark, sooty ash!

Just Eldon to finish the round!

Whiskeyjack's hammer just bounces off of the troll's knee but Almalik is luckier as the mighty warrior slashes open the troll brutally.

Almalik? I' be a crossover game, guys. Hide yer women and yer children, 'cause stuff's about t' ge' real!

I don't think I could keep up with running Kawrock and Fish in the same game.

And do we really want Ama here as well? She'd continually ask Eldon questions about pretty much everything she doesn't know about (which is pretty much everything), and Eldon (often falsely) believes he does know about.

"You want to know about the dietary habits of trolls, Lena? Well I, of course, know everything there is to know about that topic! When trolls are young they enjoy eating sweets, preferably toffee. Mommy and daddy troll surely don't mind giving their kids toffee, because it practically glues their jaws together and makes them shut up for a while. When they're older, trolls..."

During his rant about young trolls eating sweets, Eldon tries to aid in Arval's defense.

Aid Arval for a +2 bonus to AC, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21

Inspire Courage +2 continues!

The troll at the base roars and slashes and bites at Arval as fast as it cna, desperate to get this horrid pain away from it.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The two trolls at the top of the tower roar in confusion, swatting around blindly until they are lost in the soot. Realizing that they are trapped at the bottom, and at the top, there's a huge roar of panic and the trolls leap from the top, crashing to the bottom behind the group!

Falling Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12
Falling Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13

Wren and Lena must make reflex saves for half to avoid falling trolls or take 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 damage! Everyone is up! The trolls in the back are prone and so can't AoO.

Watch out, it's raining trolls! That was the forth weirdest thing Lena had ever seen.

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Lena dodges out of the way of the falling trolls, falling back to cast another spell.

She fans her hands out in an arc, and flames roar out in response as she yells the key phrases in ignen.

burning hands: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 1, 4) = 10 DC 16 reflex for half, 15' cone. Should burn trolls but just miss wren. May toast some feathers.

Prone creatures can take AoOs just fine. They just take -4 to melee attacks when they take those AoOs and we get AoOs if and when they attempt to stand.

How about one AoO for me and one for Lena?

Round Ten

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Reflex vs. Rain of Trolls

Wren seems to avoid most of the falling troll damage and waits for 'Lena's spell to stop curling her feathers before she moves away. Provoking.

Wren waits for the trolls to stand before using her acid arrow at the near troll.

1d20 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 + 2 = 22 touch to hit; (-combat,+bard)
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4 acid damage this round; 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7 acid next round.

Duh. I smrt GM.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 = 7 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
AoO: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 4 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Lena spreads her fingers at the nice new targets, and a sheet of flame bathes the two trolls who completely fail to get out of the way!

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The trolls swipe out at the ground, and one of them catches Wren as she tries to scamper away before Lena turns before hammering it with an acid arrow. Finally, Lena's molten orb finishes burning the troll to the left of the gatehouse, which looks very, very near death. It groans miserably.

Burning: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Kawrock, Eldon, ARval, and Whiskeyjack are up! Wren takes 11 damage!

Not a good idea to combine two games... Although the some more firepower would be good on both sides!

Arval nearly jumps at the sound of the two trolls falling. He takes a quick look at the two creatures before focussing on his main target again.

Power atk roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 19
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + (1) = 13

With the two trolls behind him distracting him his attack lacks the strength of the earlier ones.

Attacking northern troll again

Round Ten

Wren squawks awkwardly as the troll's claw rakes over her, ruffling her feathers for realsies. She is pleased that her acidic arrow hits, she tries again. She shoot the triangle one if it still moves, if not, she shoots the circle troll.

1d20 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 4 + 2 = 8 touch to hit; (-combat,+bard)
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6 acid damage this round; 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7 acid next round.

Not a good idea to combine two games... Although the some more firepower would be good on both sides!

I think you mean "healing power ;)

healing: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Whiskeyjack reachoud out from behind his raised shield to touch Arval on the shoulder. Divine energy poured into the lad, healing some of his wounds. The warpriest yelled at the troll "Come on ye walkin' bag o' cat intestines an' camel spit! Yer da were a donkey's personal fluffer, an' yer ma licked elephant cracks fer cash t' whore ou' yer baby sister!"

Saving shield back up!

I promise no further crossovers. I'm also ruling circle is not in combat. Eldon isn't attacking it, and an AoO swipe at Wren doesn't quite cut the mustard. It will be shortly.

The injured troll leaps to his feet, ready to eat Wren, and then her acid arrow burns a hole straight into his heart, and with a groan he topples back, and over the paths into the waterfall below.

Arval continues to battle with the upright troll, slamming his weapon into its leg brutally, but it still fights on, healed by Whiskeyjack.

Wren zaps her wand at the downed troll. Despite it being a bad shot, she manages to score a hit on the enormous troll!

Kawrock and Eldon are up!

Kawrock fires another bolt of flame from the air.

Ranged touch vs circle: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24

Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Current AC 15, Touch 14, FF 11

Aid Arval for a +2 bonus to AC, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14

Eldon continues to aid Arval's defense, and continues to rant about trolls. "...and once you know the dietary habits, you may also wonder about the other habits of trolls. I will tell you all about them! First, let me tell you about their social habits. Trolls are known to constantly annoy others, just to annoy said others and..."

Inspire Courage +2 continues!

but it still fights on, healed by Whiskeyjack.

Sorry if I was unclear. I used a Fervor to only heal Arval. I did not heal the troll.

I was unclear! I know you healed Arval. Should have said 'he' since the subject in the sentence was Arval.

The trolls act with the one trapped in the gatehouse now looking to be in a state of pure panic. It roars, trying to rip through Arval once more to get the fire-bearing warrior away from it. It manages to bite hard onto Arval as it attacks him.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The troll on the ground stands, drawing free swings from Arval and Eldon, and then turns, bolting away from the group! It squeezes into the narrow rocky path as it tries to escape.

Arval takes 9 damage. Eldon and Arval get attacks of opportunity against circle, and circle troll is fleeing. Everyone is up!

attack, ic: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 25
damage,ic: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9 + fire: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Whiskeyjack lashed out at the troll with his fiery hammer, this time turning to get a straight on blow, instead of going around the shield.

Saving shield back up!

I currently have an AC of 27. 23 + Eldon's aid and Whiskey's saving shield. The attack should have missed.

Arval quickly turns around and tries to strike the Troll running away.

power attack roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (1) = 14

Once the troll is out of reach he turns back and strikes at the last troll still present.

power attack roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
Dmg roll: 1d10 + 10 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + (3) = 15
