GM thunderspirit's Reign of Winter AP

Game Master thunderspirit

FF Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Also, forgot the frightful presence aura. DC 19 Will save from everyone except Kappi (who has already failed) or be shaken.

To be fair to Vojtek, that should be made before the Reflex save, so that 12 becomes an 18, +3 for fear-based effects and succeeds. Will need a REFL save from him for the cold breath weapon.

Round 1

Remember everyone gets a +4 to their fear save from me

Reflex Save DC 23: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Spiritual rage rose in the Oradin, but instead of Vojtek's unintelligible beastly roar the draconic language is upon his lips.

HE shall then be Apsu
For HE is the first
HE is the primeval

The start of the holy text empowered Ed. With a flash his bow was in his hands, and arrows were headed down range empowered with Apsu's smite of the white dragon.

I then shall go
and I shall end Death

Longbow: 1d20 + 13 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 5 + 1 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14
Longbow: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11

Current AC vs Dragon 24 Everyone heals 5, so Ed takes 15+19=34. 45/79 hp's remaining

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
REF: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Uh oh

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17 <--frak!
ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 <--FRAKIN FRAK!!

Davosh, you forgot the +4 Will vs. fear for being next to Ed

Ali is unnerved by the appearance of the monster, but soldiers on...

She casts Haste, then moves away to spread out a bit. Then, she touches the rod in her belt, and sends forth a fan of flames at the dragon!

Burning Hands: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2, 1) = 9 <--Ref 15 for half

Davosh, you forgot the +4 Will vs. fear for being next to Ed

13 + 4 is 17, not enough to hit the DC.

Also, point of order: dragon is 40' up, so Ali's burning hands is out of range.

I'll allow it.

Request to change action...to cast Fly on Vojtek please! THEN move.

Edward declares his smite, then lands one arrow shot! It draws blood, but the dragon doesn't appear to notice!

Ali quickens the party, then gives a boon to the Northman before moving away!

Round 1
Edward — smite, pewpew
Ali — magus sh!t
Kappi — GO
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — :-o (flat-footed)
Vojtek — :-o (flat-footed, need Refl save)

Still under cover of Vanish

Round 1

Will save vs Fear 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Still shaking with fear, Kappi moves around behind the dragon.

The lad has his magic sword in hand and readies an attack waiting for the dragon to come down so he can strike it from behind.

Readied attack 1d20 + 14 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 4 - 2 = 33
+1 sh sword 1d6 + 7 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (2, 3, 5, 4, 6) = 29

Kappi readies, unseen by all!

The white dragon swoops down at Edward!

bite w/Vital Strike vs. AC 24: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39
mmm, tasty Oradin: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 3) + 12 = 26
free Grab: CMB vs. 26 CMD (if I've calculated smite correctly): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (4) + 28 = 32

Edward is snared in the dragon's maw as the beast flies by!

Half speed post-grapple still gives plenty of movement to get to the other side of the chasm...

Fly check: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 - 2 = 22 success, still in the air hovering.

Round 1
Edward — smite, pewpew
Ali — magus sh!t
Kappi — ready
white (but not THE white) dragon — flyby attack/grab
Davosh — GO (hasted)
Vojtek — GO (need Refl save, THEN hasted)

Round 2
Edward — GO (hasted, grappled)
Ali — GO (hasted)
Kappi — GO (hasted)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

"GIVE HIM BACK!" Stultifyingly, Davosh runs super naturally fast towards the dragon! The Speaker unleashes the Evil Eye on the Dragon.

Targeting Saves. If I'm still too far, I'll amplify, which should be plenty. Will DC 21

"GIVE HIM BACK!" Stultifyingly, Davosh runs super naturally fast towards the dragon! The Speaker unleashes the Evil Eye on the Dragon.

Targeting Saves. If I'm still too far, I'll amplify, which should be plenty. Will DC 21

It's 40 feet in the air (still flying), so Davosh will need to Amplify, but it's certainly worth a level 1 spell slot.

DC 21 Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Done and done. Losing Ray of Enfeeblement.

Re-Reflex (FF): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Round the First
• Current HPs: 129 - 37 = 92/129
• Hasted
• Raging

Composite Longbow of the Centaur +5: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33 for Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6.

2nd shot Composite Longbow of the Centaur +5: 1d20 + 12 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 5 + 1 = 24 for Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11.

Hasted Composite Longbow of the Centaur +5: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 = 28 for Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7.

Vojtek whips his bow up and fires three quick shots in rapid succession, a surge of adrenaline and magic combine to fuel his rage. He thought he would feel more of a visceral hatred for the majestic creature, but the barbarian has to admit to feeling a certain... kinship?

Per text message... confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
For 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Ahem...bows are x3 crits.
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
6 + 9 + 9 = 24 pts of dmg for the crit.

Davosh makes a gambit!

Vojtek looses a trio of arrows, but only one hits! It hits squarely in the foreclaw of the white dragon, however — a more than solid blow!

Round 2
Edward — GO (hasted, grappled)
Ali — GO (hasted)
Kappi — GO (hasted)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

VOJTEK--please note that I cast Fly on you, specifically so you can get into melee with this bugger!!

Ali does NOT like her options with trying to save Edward, and decides to play it a bit safe, at least until Davosh's gambit plays out. She points a finger and looses Magic Missiles at the dragon, then touches the rod in her belt to cast Mirror Image, preparing for a gambit of her own.

MM damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 2) + 4 = 11

Mirror Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Need a pair of SR checks for those, Ali.

SR, MM: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
SR, MI: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27

I can't recall whether you get your spellcasting ability mod added to that--if so, please add 4 to both.

If your spell is being resisted by a creature with spell resistance, you must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) at least equal to the creature’s spell resistance for the spell to affect that creature. The defender’s spell resistance is like an Armor Class against magical attacks. Include any adjustments to your caster level to this caster level check.

So in Ali's case, it's her caster level (9) plus any modifiers to her check (Spell Penetration feat, for instance) plus a d20. That makes SR roll 25. (Missed that you were doing mirror image and not another magic missile, cos glasses at 6:30 a.m.)

That'll do, pig.

Round 2
Edward — GO (hasted, grappled)
Ali — spellz
Kappi — GO (hasted)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

the +2 is legit--elf, +2 spell penetration. Ali KNOWS how to get good penetration.

Ok I’m sorry everyone. I have an immediate action spell that might keep me on the ground where I’m at.

Cast Liberating command

Escape artist: 1d20 + 3 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 10 = 23 It’s an autofail, even before I cast it, but Ed wouldn’t know that

LoH self swift w/greater mercy: 2d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + (2) + 3 = 9

Free Action drop all life links, heal LOL take 26, heal 9. So 27 / 79 HP’s left

Ed’s escape grapple attempt

need a 20: 1d20 ⇒ 14

still under Vanish enchantment

Round 2

Kappi curses the dragon for flying off with Ed. He isn't how to fight the damned thing if it wont land. He moves closer and pulls out a tanglefoot bag. He holds his sh sword in the other.

Move and pulls out item.

Edward struggles but cannot escape the dragon's clutches!

Kappi draws a bag of goo in preparation!

The dragon tries to maintain the grapple...
CMB vs CMD 26-2 DEX penalty=24: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (20) + 27 = 47 Guess Edward's not going anywhere for awhile...
DC 20 Fly check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
...and takes flight, heading back deeper into the Gorge! now 75' up

Round 2
Davosh — GO (hasted)
Vojtek — GO (hasted, enchanted with fly)

Round 3
Edward — GO (hasted, grappled)
Ali — GO (hasted)
Kappi — GO (hasted)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

NNNOOOOO!!!!

Ali concentrates for a second, calling upon her arcane reserves to recall her Fly spell. She grabs the rod to cast it in the blink of an eye, and she takes off after the dragon, sword in hand and eyes blazing.

VOJTEK!! LET'S GO!!! RIGHT NOW!!!

not sure how far I can get hastened...also see rules question on Slack

anyone else have any better ideas??

"I'm sorry Edward. Truly." Davosh begins swirling his hands and words together. He cackles between spidery syllables. When done a thing mist appears around the dragon....

Mind Fog: Will DC 22.

Need an SR check for the dragon.

SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 !@#%$^#^&#$@#!!@#%^#%@&#

Hero Point! SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 If that doesn't do it, I'm going to punch a goblin!

DC 22 Will (dragon): 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 4 = 24

I love the gambit, though, Davosh. Truly.

Bloody freaking hell. Of all the times!

Ali is closing with the dragon as fast as possible (after a swift + a standard)

Maths: 90' hypotenuse would have a 75' and 50' base and height, however you wanna do that.

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

who had the figurines of wonderous power? We need to deploy these things immediately. And does Vojtek have the magic giant Warhammer? Maybe another magic item we need to use...

Round the Second
• Current HPs:92(+1 cause I forgot my DR last round) = 93/129
• Hasted
• Raging
• Flying

Vojtek drops his bow to the ground with a clatter and flies into the air to close with the dragon. His back is a rippling mass of flesh as something tries to break free of the skin above each of his shoulder blades... The barbarian screeches an incomprehensible sound, an inhuman sound even, as he leaves the ground and draws forth his mighty axe.

fly: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 He steadies himself beneath the gleaming white scales of the dragon's belly and attacks!

Great Axe: 1d20 + 18 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 18 - 3 + 1 = 36 for Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 9 + 1 = 27

Confirm:
Great Axe: 1d20 + 18 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 18 - 3 + 1 = 21 for Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 9 + 1 = 34

If it is possible to drop the figurine of wondrous power for another person to pick up... I'll do it. I'm not 100% sure of the economy of actions here.

We'll say the figurine is in the backpack Vojtek dropped on the ground, which conveniently opened up on impact — he really should secure that better — revealing it to see for someone who needs it.

Davosh tries a spell, which both the dragon and its captive shake off!

Votjek rages and flies through the air with the greatest of ease, scoring a hit but not a critical wound (FYI, a greataxe is also x3 on a crit) on the dragon, which growls in pain, its teeth sinking deeper into Edward as it grits them!

Alli recalls her own spell and gives chase!

Round 2
Davosh — gambit part 2 (hasted)
Vojtek — ragecharge (hasted, enchanted with fly)

Round 3
Edward — GO (hasted, grappled)
Ali — spell recall, spell, and fly (hasted, enchanted with fly)
Kappi — GO (hasted, vanish)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

Round 3

Kappi spots Vojtek’s dropped pack as he flew off into the sky. His keen Varisian eyes spot the magical griffon statue. With hasted speed the lad sprints over to grab the figurine. He shouts the command word. As the tiny bronze statue grows the invisible rogue hops on its back.

Sorry I'm sorry you were waiting on me.

While growling in pain, Ed's litany of the dragon tongue continues. Oh you've done it now. We have one who's training to kill "The White", you are going to regret this. That's right take me back to your lair so he can kill your babies too. You don't even understand the wrath coming your way.

With that Ed stabs the white with his rapier 3 times with smite

Rapier w/smite, haste, grappled: 1d20 + 9 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 5 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 7 = 11
Rapier w/smite, haste, grappled: 1d20 + 4 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 5 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 7 = 11
Rapier w/smite, haste, grappled: 1d20 + 9 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 5 + 1 - 2 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 7 = 10

LoH Self as a swift: 2d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5) + (6) + 3 = 17

Buffs: haste, Smite Conditions. Grappled. HP's 44/79

Edward flails about but his rapier cannot strike the beast!

forgot the dragon's aura of cold: 1d6 ⇒ 6 on Edward last round
aura of cold: 1d6 ⇒ 4 on Edward and Vojtek this round

Its attention has been received by the raging barbarian, however!

claw 1: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 21 + 1 = 42 hit for claw 1 dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
claw 1 confirm?: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 21 + 1 = 24 hit for claw 1 crit dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
claw 2: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 21 + 1 = 26 hit for claw 2 dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
wing 1: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 1 = 21 for wing 1 dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 miss
wing 2: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 1 = 30 hit for wing 2 dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
tail: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 1 = 24 hit for tail dmg: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

She then drops Edward (free) and gives Vojtek her bite!
bite: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 22 + 1 = 31 hit for bite dmg: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 1) + 12 = 17 plus
free Grab: 1d20 + 28 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 28 + 1 = 30 natural Jeff!

Edward takes falling dmg: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 1) = 21 and is prone.

82 dmg to Votjek on 5 hits, plus 4 cold. Dragon will auto-make Fly check to Hover, since she failed to Grab. And I definitely should have had her drop Edward first, but she wouldn't have if each of her other hits had landed.

Round 3
Davosh — GO (haste
Vojtek — GO (haste, enchanted with fly)

Round 4
Edward — GO (haste, prone)
Ali — GO (haste, enchanted with fly)
Kappi — GO (haste, vanish)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

Ali closes the rest of the distance. On the way, her weapon becomes wickedly sharp, and on fire (enhance to keen + flame burst). She takes a swing...

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (4) = 16

So I feel really useless now. By rule, I can't cackle. So the dragon is now no longer affected. Sigh.

Remembering the necklace, Davosh immediately yanks a bead off and hurls it at the dragon. FIRE: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4) = 31 REF DC 14 for half.
SR 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 @!#$%$#%&$#$@@ Do I have another hero point?

Hero Point: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Just a question. How does one calculate SR from an item, is it off your caster level, or the caster level of the person who made the necklace? Seems kind of silly if someone who only has UMD and no caster level to use yours.

The oradin tumbles through the air, and remembers a vision of a future past, or is it a past future of something called a PLF or parachute landing fall. He attempts to roll out of the fall, and immediately up to his feet.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Just looked no free action stand in Pathfinder :(

Ed’s armor scrapes and grinds against the ground as he bounces once, the rush of air both in and out of his lungs can be heard, still he stands dropping his rapier, and grabbing his bow again.

Longbow +smite and Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage+smite: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Swift LoH self: 2d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + (5) + 3 = 13

Ed dropped his life links so sorry no healing for you all, Not in range. Take 28, heal 13 so 29/79 Hp’s

Magic items use the minimum caster level required to make it, which for a necklace of fireballs is CL 10.

Also, Edward, even with haste, you are out of actions with standing from prone and drawing your bow.

Davosh flings the bead from the necklace, which explodes over the dragon to no effect! SR is 23...missed it by 1!

Ali swings her blade, but the dragon's wing gets in her way!

Round 3
Davosh — BOOM aw $#!+
Vojtek — DC 14 Refl save vs. fireball, then GO (haste, enchanted with fly)

Round 4
Edward — stand from prone, draw bow
Ali — flail
Kappi — GO (haste, vanish)
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

Round 4

Now mounted on the back of the magical griffon the lad shouts out his orders. Come Peter, up into the air, Lets FLY!

Ride 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Peter the magical griffon leaps into the air with a snap of his wings while Kappi just barely keeps his seat.

As the griffon gets with in range the lad hurls his tanglefoot bag. While he feels its probably too much to ask that the white will fall to its death, he does hope the wings will be messed up enough to cause the dragon to have land.

Throw touch attack from Vanish 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
tanglefoot bag

Once he throws the lad becomes visible on the back of his flying mount.

DC 15 Refl: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
The tanglefoot bag strikes the dragon and clearly affects it, but it is not enough to force it to land!

griffon's DC 15 fly check to remain in the air at the end of Kappi's turn: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 1 = 19 success

Round 3
Davosh — BOOM aw $#!+
Vojtek — DC 14 Refl save vs. fireball, then GO (haste, enchanted with fly)

Round 4
Edward — stand from prone, draw bow
Ali — flail
Kappi — ride the snake griffon
white (but not THE white) dragon — TBD
Davosh — TBD
Vojtek — TBD

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Point of Order... Vojtek's AC should be 26, figuring in his new natural armor and haste... so the claw1, claw2, and the tail should miss. Also with DR /1 and DR /2 cold, I think the damage will be less. Let me do the high math later... here is some damage though.

HPs: 93 - X = Y
Hasted
Raging
Flying

Vojtek continues his assault, spurred to greater ferocity by his grievous wounds!

Great Axe: 1d20 + 18 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 18 - 3 + 1 = 17 for Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 9 + 1 = 28

Great Axe: 1d20 + 18 - 3 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 18 - 3 - 5 + 1 = 18 for Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 9 + 1 = 23

And Wartooth Gnash!: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 = 26 for Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6.
