GM SpiderBeard's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Barvo Delancy

Same here.

Sorry, misread Shaken as Frightened and thought "well I'm out of the fight."

Keanu's eyes widen as the Hellscape consumes the room, desperately gripping his sword he charges the Drow, hoping to end this as soon as possible.

Greatsword (charge): 1d20 + 12 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 12
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 6) + (3) + 14 = 25

AC is 21

Sorry. Work's been raging into serious overtime. And deciding on spell tactics is always more involved than just a quick RP comment.

Pre-battle spells cast: Mage Armour, Pattern Recognition

ACTIONS: Move into the room, and use my Evil Eye hex on the yellow guard. -4 to his AC for 1 round. DC 18 Will save or increase to 7 rounds.

Round 1: Actions
Move Action: Start Singing
Standard Action: Cast good hope

Fiona starts singing a song--one that inspires anger and hope in equal measure!

Keanu shakes his head trying to ignore the illusion, but his aim is off and the soldier able parries his attack. However, the soldier then shrieks, clutching his head as Thaddeus gives him the ol' hillbilly stink-eye.

The soldiers move in save for one who steps back and produces a potion before drinking it. The rest enter a fierce melee with the group. Variel and Lusk avoid blows, but Mutt gets skewered.

Mutt takes 23 damage.

Variel and Mutt are up!

Mutt shakes a bit as the effect takes hold. But, he pushes forward and swings at the black clad drow!

Attack (bloodrage, enlarge person, elf bane, power attack, shaken, good hope): 1d20 + 16 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 25

The flaming drow take 1d6 ⇒ 2 damage.

Variel steps toward Lusk, then quickly and nimbly dodges between the drow while they are watching the half-elf, drawing his whip as he goes. Solo Tactics + Escape Route to avoid AoO; path marked on the map.

Approaching the drow leader, he says nothing, but lashes out with his whip.

Maintain Judgment of Protection and Purity (+2 AC, +2 saves), accept Raging Song.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 damage (magic, bane): 1d4 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (6, 1) = 17

Current stats: AC 22 (13T); CMD 25; Saves F13 R8 W16; HP 61/61

Variel brings the whip down like a hornet's sting on the captain, who shrieks in pain. Mutt's axe crashes down on the black-clad drow, causing incredible damage, but he manages to keep fighting!

The captain growls, moving in on Variel. "Abraxas take your eyes!" Variel senses the darkness closing in on him...

Variel must make a DC 16 fort save or be blinded! Fiona, Thaddeus, and Keanu are up!

Bolstered by Fiona's song Keanu resumes hacking into the Drow.

Greatsword (1): 1d20 + 13 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 3 + 2 = 27
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 5) + (3) + 16 = 25

Greatsword (2): 1d20 + 8 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 3 - 2 = 12
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 6) + (4) + 16 = 27

Spirit Mote Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Negative Energy: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

AC is 22

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Variel sees the world begin to fade and calls out, "Calistria protects me from your foul magic, beast!" With an effort of will aided by his faith, he shakes off the spell.

Thaddeus and Fiona still ahve actions!

Keanu lands two terrific blows with his greatsword, badly injuring the drow.

Thaddeus maneuvers behind Mega-Mutt, not liking the rather clear path one of the drow soldiers had to him. As he does so, he keeps an eye on the manyfold entrances into the room, looking for potential reinforcements.

MOVE: Move behind Mutt.

STANDARD: Ready an action. If a door opens or otherwise more combatants enter the room, Thaddeus will use his Swamp's Grasp hex to make a quagmire in front of them to slow them down.

Fiona charges into the room, still singing, and she clonks one of the drow with her earthbreaker. The drow retaliate, and Thaddeus turns out ot have -terrific- timing as the south door swings open, and two babau try to run in. Thaddeus' spell goes off, and they are slowed down significantly and don't make it far into the room. The drow rally and Fiona gets run through with a rapier to terrific effect.

Fiona takes 29 damage from a hit and crit! Everyone is up

Keanu continues to slice through the Drow.

If he drops his current target and he still has Attacks left he'll 5ft step forward toward the other Drow.

Greatsword (1): 1d20 + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 22
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + (3) + 16 + 2 = 26

Greatsword (2): 1d20 + 8 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 22
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + (3) + 16 + 2 = 30

Spirit Mote Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Negative Energy: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

AC is 22

Flaming Drow take 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage.
Also, don't forget that as long as the captain is on fire, that is another concentration check she has to make to cast any spells due to "continuous damage".

Variel takes a step back and continues to harry the drow with his whip.
Starting with blue; if between Lusk and Variel blue goes down, switch back to the Captain.

Maintaining Judgment of Destruction (+3 damage) and Purity (+2 saves). Accepting Fiona's song. Elf-bane whip.
Primary attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35damage: 1d4 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + (3, 5) = 21
Iterative attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16damage: 1d4 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 12 + (5, 2) = 22

If Blue is still up after Lusk and Variel's attacks, Lash will try an Unnatural Lust on him. DC 14 Will save or next round rush up to the captain to express his desires.

Current stats: AC 20 (11T); CMD 23; Saves F13 R8 W16; HP 61/61

Thaddeus re-invokes his hex, making sure that last Babau isn't going anywhere fast.

Re-invoke Swamp's Grasp, now with all 8 10-ft squares of difficult terrain. And take a quick 5-ft step.

Mutt sees the demons coming in. Seeing one of them getting stuck in the mire, he shifts a bit (5' step) and brings his his axe down on the drow, lifts it, and brings it down on the demon behind him. Using full attack.

Attack vs drow (bloodrage, enlarge person, elf bane, power attack, shaken, good hope): 1d20 + 16 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 25

Round 3: Actions
Free Action: Maintain Song
Full-Round Action: Smash the drow who stabbed me!

Fiona powers through the pain and swings her hammer!

Smash: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Smash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14

Mote: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Totally forgot to have a mote attack!
Mote: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I screwed up on the initiatives but whatever I'll just say the captain delays.

Lusk slashes repeatedly into the drow in front of him and with a final swipe decapitates the drow soldier. Variel's whip cracks nastily, and the captain screams in pain as she is lashed again. At Lash's urgings, one of the soldiers starts eyeballing the captain but then quickly gives up on it as he resists the spell.

Mutt's mighty axe brings down another drow while Fiona thwomps hers, and finally the fresh scent of lovely lovely swamp fills the room as Thaddeus' country-fried magic filles the southeast corner of the room.

The captain glares at Variel before unleashing a whip of her own, and with a crack of it she tries to send his own whip flying, but the disarm fails. Fiona and Lusk manage to parry their attacks. The babau near Mutt starts jabbing out with a longspear, but the big man blocks the attacks.

Finally, the babau in the back lets out a shriek of rage, and vanishes with a BAMF only to appear behind Thaddeus!

No damage. Everyone is up

"Mister Thaddeus, to us!" Keanu calls out over his shoulder to the Witch as he steps up to the remaining Drow.

Greatsword (1): 1d20 + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 13
Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + (3) + 16 + 2 = 27

Slashing, Magical, Shocking: 2d6 + 1d6 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + (3) + 16 + 2 = 30

Spirit Mote Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Negative Energy: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

AC is 22

GM, it looks like the Captain's damage is the same as it was last round, even though you said Variel hit her. Just want to make sure she doesn't get free DR! ;-)

Flaming drow take 1d6 ⇒ 1 fire damage.

Variel continues to press the attack on the captain, the fire in his eyes matched by the fire slowly burning her skin.

Maintaining Judgment of Destruction (+3 damage) and Purity (+2 saves). Accepting Fiona's song. Elf-bane whip.
Primary attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28damage: 1d4 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + (5, 2) = 21

"Whoop, don' have 'ta tell me twice!"

Thaddeus follows the advice, moving back to be adjacent to more heavily armoured allies, while Old Horn runs around the corner, hoping he doesn't seem like too big of a target.

Though there isn't really a place to stay out of reach of the demon, so Thaddeus instead decides to make his job tougher, giving the beast a gander of the hillbilly stink-eye.

"Yeah, jus' try it, ugly!"

Move a few squares back, (Since he was not in base contact, this shouldn't be an issue) and Evil Eye the Babau that teleported behind me. -4 to his attacks for 1 round. DC 18 Will or it'll last for 7 rounds.

Old Horn runs around out of sight.

Mutt continues the assault on the babau in front of him!

Full Attack!

Attack 1 (bloodrage, enlarge person, size penalty, power attack, shaken, good hope): 1d20 + 14 - 1 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 - 1 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 20

Fiona keeps up the assault...

Smash: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Smash: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Spirit Mote Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Corrected the hp.

Variel's whip finds the captain's neck, and with a yank there is a -crack- and she collapses to the ground. The babau who teleported behind Thaddeus shrieks as he is afflicted by the evil eyes, while the drow soldiers and other babau just take a beating with nobody quite going down.

The drow and demons try to counterattack, and the party take several vicious wounds in response as the battle drags on!

Lusk is critted for 39, Fiona takes 21, and Mutt takes 24 damage! Everyone is up!

Flaming drow take: 1d6 ⇒ 1

With a satisfied "Hah!" at taking down the Captain, Variel turns to the other drow.

Maintaining Judgment of Destruction (+3 damage), switching to Justice (+2 attacks). Accepting Fiona's song. Elf-bane whip.
Start on Blue, switch to Red if he drops.

Gritting his teeth Keanu keeps hacking at the Drow before him.

Sorry for not getting a post in, will have one up today.

Thaddeus finds himself surrounded on all sides by threats. Nasty, stabby, acid-covered, sneak-attacking threats.

Fortunately, cursing people takes not a lot of effort. Not enough to expose himself moreso to the present threats. He glares at the other Babau to put a bit of a shiver in his spine.

Evil Eye the other Babau SE of me to give a -4 to his AC for one round. DC 18 Will or it'll last for 7 rounds.

Current hexes:
West Babau: -4 Attack rolls
SE Babau: -4 AC

Does the damage include Mutt's damage reduction?

@Mutt - whoops. No. He's taken three hits so can knock three damage off of the total.

Variels whip cracks twice, killing one drow and grievously wounding the other. Lusk then switches targets, finishing the job. Only the two babau remain.

Mutt and Fiona are up!

Undeterred, Mutt continues to attack the babau in front of him!

More Full Attacks!

Round 6: Actions
Free Action: Maintain Raging Song
Move Action: Retrieve CMW Potion
Standard Action: Chug it down!

Bleeding & battered, Fiona pauses only briefly in her singing to take out a potion and chug it down before returning to the fray!

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8

Mutt crashes his mighty axe into the babau, which sizzles with the creature's acid but it is not enough to damage the weapon. Fiona, tries to plug her sucking chest wound with a cure moderate wounds potion. It's somewhat effective. Thaddeus' evil eye does the trick as the second babau withers under his nasty gaze.

The babau struggle against the effects of the evil eye but manage to land two attacks!

Thaddeus and Mutt both take 10 damage! Everyone is up!

Keanu strides out in front of Fiona and Thaddeus to engage the demon.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 3 - 2 + 2 = 15

Full withdraw to where the drow warriors were, putting some distance between me and the demons.

Variel takes a moment to revel in having taken down the remaining drow, but quickly moves to help his companions. "Lash, whip."

As the monstrous wasp grasps Variel's whip, the elf races across the room, pulling out his sword. He darts between Mutt and his assailant, using the huge man as a distraction. Once in position, he strikes out at the babau.

Using Solo Tactics with Escape Route, no AoO from the babau. Draw sword while moving. Swift action to give the sword Bane:Evil Outsider. Maintaining Judgment of Destruction (+3 damage), and Justice (+2 attack). Accepting Fiona's song.

Variel can almost feel his vengeful goddess singing as he sends another black soul away from this plane. The babau falls to his blade, its acidic blood sizzling away but doing no real damage.

One babau left! Mutt and Fiona are up!

So, taking Damage Reduction into effect, that means Mutt takes 9 damage.

Mutt moves closer to the demon and brings his greataxe down!

Damage?: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11

Spirit Mote Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Damage?: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

You all leap upon the Babau with Fiona and Mutt beating on it in turn. It shrieks, and finally realizes that this mission is probably not worth its time. With a FWOOP it vanishes from this plane to wherever it came from.

End of Combat

Fiona grins, then falters. "...agh..."

She plants the head of her hammer in the ground and leans on it. "...that was painful."

Mutt stops his rage and pants, the blood from his wounds flowing more freely. ”Yeah. It was... somewhat more difficult than our other fights.”

Variel pauses while the others catch their breath and heal their wounds. "We still have that dragon to contend with as well, and we haven't found our actual quarry yet, either." He sheathes his sword and takes his whip back in hand.

Variel managed to avoid taking damage that combat, so if we're short on healing he will offer his potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (2d8+3) and one casting of Cure Light Wounds (1d8+5) to anyone who needs it.

Thaddeus pulls out two wands, as well as an old scroll with Fiona's handwriting on it, and offers them with one hand while preparing a wand with the other.

"Alrighty, assumin' Super Mutt 'dere wants t'get goin' soon 'fore all his 'chantments burn out. Pro'bly th'rest o'yeh, too. Ah think yeh two," gesturing to Variel and Fiona with the wand and scroll in his hand "'kin use 'dese as well. Let's heal up 'n get goin'"

Thaddeus has a Wand of CLW (9 charges) that he'll start using. In his other hand, he has a full CLW Wand (50 charges) as well as an old Scroll of CLW, penned by Fiona (I'm pretty sure) way back when. He'll offer them to Variel and Fiona so we can heal up quicker.

I'll start on Mutt.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Mutt gets 43 HP back.

The wand sputters and fizzles with the last charge.

"Welp, 'dat one's done." Thaddeus shoves it in his pack, thinking he might be able to scavenge some parts of the wand for future projects.

Variel can certainly read a scroll during one of those rounds: Scroll: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
He'll go ahead and cast one CLW himself to help out: Cast: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Cast it on who? Mutt, Fiona, and Keanu took significant damage that fight. I've healed up Mutt a fair bit, but not fully.

Thaddeus pulls out two wands, as well as an old scroll with Fiona's handwriting on it, and offers them with one hand while preparing a wand with the other.

"Alrighty, assumin' Super Mutt 'dere wants t'get goin' soon 'fore all his 'chantments burn out. Pro'bly th'rest o'yeh, too. Ah think yeh two," gesturing to Variel and Fiona with the wand and scroll in his hand "'kin use 'dese as well. Let's heal up 'n get goin'"

Mutt nods. "I do. I'll have a more difficult time fighting the dragon if my enchantments burn out before we get to it." When Thaddeus uses the rest of the wand to heal Mutt, he breathes in deeply as the magical energies close most of his wounds. He gives a small smile. "Thanks." He waits for the others to finish their business.
