GM Tyranius To Scale A Dragon (Sub-Tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Actually, I just read the Lock Gaze spell, and it gives me concealment, which lets me sneak attack! I may actually be able to hurt this thing!

Takkit looks forlornly at his bow and hisses through bared teeth at the Remorhaz.
You'll pay! Tomas was a good person!

He darts forward, and uses the momentum from his movement to slash with two daggers nonmagical, I don't like the description of how the heat melted the arrows, or how Tomas took damage from hitting the thing, I have a feeling our weapons will take damage if we hit it at the giant beast!
Attack 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Sneak Attack: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 8, 3, 8) = 27

Attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Sneak Attack: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 1, 3, 6) = 17

Confirm Crit?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Folio Reroll to Confirm Crit?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Extra Crit Damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Plus 4 points of bleed damage every round.

Lock gaze did not work as the creature resisted it. The curse also does not necessarily make the Remorhaz flat footed so no sneak attack.If you wish to change you action let me know as you will be taking an AoO for movement.

Sarephta's javelin and her spiritual weapon both clatter harmlessly off of the Remorhaz's thick hide, not quite able to penetrate it.

@Reavis- an 18 is still not a hit unfortunately. Though it is close.

Reavis's acid arrow flies high over the creatures spine, landing in the ice beyond.

Dolores attempts to curse the beast once again.

Will save DC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

I will indeed be changing my actions. Not going to get close if I can't get sneak attack.

Takkit looks mournfully down at his bow and then hisses at the Remorhaz between bared teeth, before pulling a smokestick out of his bandolier. He then lights it, and tosses it At his feet, concealing himself from the massive beast.
I'm assuming that pulling it out and lighting it takes a full round, so I will do that. I am dropping it so that I am inside the edge of the ten foot cube. I can't properly edit it from my phone though. This should give most of us concealment from the thing if we get inside it, and I can light more if we need it. I'm hoping the thing comes to us so I can get a flank on it, or attack it from the smoke. Hopefully we can deal enough damage to it to finish it off...

EDIT: I was able to properly format it and got it situated like I was saying.

@Reavis- an 18 is still not a hit unfortunately. Though it is close.

Was it not a touch attack?

Disappointed at his enchantment's failure but hardly unhappy with the freedom it means he is left with, Zeno falls back, readies one of his more "wicked" arrows, and aims with inhuman precision....

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 4

+1 Adaptive Composite Longbow, gravity bow, Precise/Focused Shot, thistle arrow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13 plus rounds of additional 1 bleed damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Was it not a touch attack?

I have been doing a bit of research. I am not seeing anywhere where it says that his attack changes to a ranged touch. Simply says that he infuses his projectile with the alchemical weapon for extra damage and no longer splashes. Unless there is something I am missing.

Takkit tosses a smokestick onto the ground, creating a small cloud of nauseating smoke while Zeno places a well aimed arrow into the Remorhaz's neck.

Act normal low=normal: 1d100 ⇒ 53

The centipede-like creature continues to sway, though it looks as if it may be coming out of it soon. It continues to bleed.

Round 4

Zeno
Dolores (+10 Temp HP)
Tomas (-54/48)
----------------------
Remorhaz (-47; 50% to act normally; -4 att, saves, skills; Bleed 1)
----------------------

Takkit slinks off from his original position in the smoke, staying hidden so the creature won't know where he is, and then he fires an arrow, hoping to catch it off guard.
Im hoping that makin a stealth check in concealment will let me hit this damn thing for sneak attack with my bow. I'm on my phone so I can't load the page to see what the modifiers are for being in the smoke to add to my stealth check.

Stealth: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack?: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

And hopefully four points of bleed damage every round.

(Sorry guys I'm out of spells, so to speak. The thing is immune to cause fear by virtue of having more than 5 HD, and to command because I doubt it understands any of my languages. I could use one last bestow curse but that'd need a MELEE touch attack. No thanks.)

"You guys need to kill that thing faster," Dolores mutters as she reassesses her situation and magical powers. She comes up with an idea.

"I'll summon us some help! Summon: celestial dire wolf!" She waves her hands over-dramatically, and casts a spell.

(Casting minor image to create a "celestial dire wolf" in front of the Remorhaz, between it and Takkit. Give it a good, convincing bark and/or howl! Will DC 18 to disbelief when interacted with.)

Bluff: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Taking full advantage of the gift of range, Zeno launches another magically-guided, poison-barbed arrow at the monster....

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 3 This trick is doing a great job of sparing me my crappy rolls. :)

+1 Adaptive Composite Longbow, gravity bow, Precise/Focused Shot, thistle arrow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14 plus rounds of additional 1 bleed damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Since it's two different arrows puncturing a big monster in two different places, I figure the bleed damage from multiple arrows should be cumulative; if this is not the case, however, consider me to have only fired a standard arrow this round.

Unfortunately, the alchemical arrow isn't a touch attack.

Now out of acid flasks, Reavis switches to his alkali flask, grabbing it with his tail and coating his arrow before firing at the terrible creature.

Magic Longbow + Mutagen: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
Damage + Acid Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (4) = 8

Hoping to stay at range, Sarephta throws another javelin at the creature before readying her spear.

Her previous spell, the longsword of pure force, continues attacking of its own accord, this time finding purchase.

javelin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

UNfortunately Bleeds from the same source (Character / spell do not stack. They simply override the other with the higher result.

@Takkit- No need for a stealth check as you are within a cloud of smoke. Though if the creature cannot see then neither can you as long as you are in it. Unless you have some item to allow you to see unimpeded. Creatures within 5 feet have 20% miss chance and if further than 5 feet have a 50% miss chance. Though you have a miss chance since you are in concealment you sneak attack will go off automatically.

Takkit fires an arrow through the thick smoke at where he knew the beast to be last.

Miss chance low hits: 1d100 ⇒ 6

Takkit's arrow whips through the smoke and bites into the Remorhaz. Sarephta's javelin misses once again but her spiritual weapon is able to land a single solid blow.

Reavis' acid arrow is also able to find a weak spot in the remorhaz's thick hide as it screeches in pain. While in its wounded state Zeno takes advantage and sticks another arrow right beside Reavis'.

Dolores weaves a minor image to appear within the fog between Takkit and the enormous monster.

Act normally. Low=normal: 1d100 ⇒ 42

The remorhaz shakes its head as it roars once again, bleeding out a bit more. Slithering forward it ignores everyone and everything but the one that touched its nest as it bounds for Reavis and bites at him.

Bite vs Reavis AC 29: 1d20 + 13 - 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 3 - 4 = 26
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 13 - 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 3 - 4 = 19
Damage: 3d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 9 + 6 = 23 + Grab
Grab vs CMD 19: 1d20 + 21 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 21 - 4 = 26

The remorhaz snaps down firmly on Reavis as it quickly wrenches him forward and into the air, ready to swallow him whole.

GEEZ! When she bites, she *bites!*

This monster is not letting up - so neither does Zeno.

damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 8 = 11
Arrow salvageable if I missed? Even number says yes: 1d100 ⇒ 21

Jeez, the RNG is really out to get us.

Reavis has a sudden religious conversion as he stares down death, mentally calling upon every god he can think of to spare him an ignoble death. To help matters along, he attempts to break the grapple.

Escape Artist + Mutagen: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Folio Reroll of Escape Artist with GM star bonus: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

I'm assuming I need a natural 20 to break out.

I'm on my phone and cannot currently see the map, did the monster provoke an AoO moving forward to attack?

With the beast right beside him, Takkit drops his bow, and flexes his wrist, letting two daggers fall out of his spring loaded wrist sheathes, and goes to work.

Masterwork Dagger, Piranha Strike, Two Weapon Fighting: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Folio Reroll on the Natural 1 Attack Roll: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

If it's flat footed is no higher than 19, that's 3 hits. I'm really hoping I can save Reavis here.

No AoO since Takkit is in concealment. Got your bleed added Takkit and updated the damage on the remorhaz.

Dropping his bow Takkit releases his daggers and beginsto stab at the beast.

Main Dagger Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 6) = 25Half is 12 minus hardness is 2 damage
Off Dagger Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 3, 1, 6, 4, 4) = 28Half is 14 minus hardness is 4 damage
Main Dagger Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 1, 6, 6, 3, 2) = 31Half is 15 minus hardness is 5 damage
Off Dagger Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 2, 6, 4, 3, 6) = 34Half is 16 minus hardness is 6 damage

Takkit's small daggers seem to do the trick as they scrap at something vital. The remorhaz lets loose a final croak as it falls hard to the ground, cushioning Reavis' fall.

Looking down Takkit realizes that is daggers are turning to a red hot slag in his hand as they are completely destroyed.

Combat Over

The Taer's drums bang louder as even more of the beasts fill the plateau to the west. There look to be hundreds of them though it is difficult to tell through the surrounding fog on the outskirts of the plataeu.

I'll trade two daggers for saving a PC any day. Good job guys!

"Hurrah! Good work everyone! Normally we could have a moment of silence for Tomas, but it's not really silent here so there's no point."

Dolores eyes the dead remorhaz. "Now, I wonder if a skeleton centipede monster would silence the crowd. I'll just- OH NO!" she yells in frustration, "I don't have enough onyx for this thing! Reanimating this thing would be child's play for me, but without the onyx there's nothing I can do. That's it, I'm organizing a fundraising campaign in Absalom: Necromancers Are People Too! I know a musician and two comedians who could attract a crowd. Oh, and that dirge bard with the dancing skeletons show-"

She goes on for a while.

(I think we should get the bones quickly before the Taer gather the courage to assault us.)

I don't think we have time to cut the thing open and try to retrieve Tomas, so we should probably make a break for the sleds after we grab the bones. We can always "come back later"

Though time is running short you feel as if the taer will be on you any minute. Quickly cutting open the Remorhaz you find a dusty rose prism ioun stone and what goop remains of Thomas' remains. Thinking best you grab onto what remains of Thomas' other half lying in the ice.

Grabbing the bones you make your way back to the sleds. Dozens of shaggy beastmen howl from the fog-enshrouded precipices, their chants seemingly silenced by the death of monstrous worm-creature. Then slowly, the drums start beating. The tempo rises furiously, followed by an enraged chorus of violent, howling screams.

You are chased for several yards as spears begin to rain down all around you.

Javelins: 10d20 ⇒ (7, 19, 20, 5, 15, 18, 18, 10, 8, 20) = 140Only hit on a 20
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13

Stone spears slam all around you as you finally reach the sleds. A spear slams into reavis' back nearly knocking him unconscious as the rest of you a struck by similar spears. Luckily the majority of them stick into the icy walls and floor as you finally reach the sleds.

Quickly taking off it seems the Taer are having difficulty keeping up as you begin you descent down the mountain.

Do we make more driving checks while being chased? Because if we do have to, I feel like that will be just as difficult as fighting the Remorhaz...

Takkit leaps onto his sled, giving a mournful look at the spot where Tomas rode only a short while ago.

The part you are at right now is fine. The Taer can not keep up with the speed of the dogs. So you have a moment to heal.

I've been busy this weekend, but Reavis would have used his wand to heal immediately after the combat ended, thus avoiding going unconscious. I'll roll for healing later tonight unless that is unacceptable for some reason.

Actually, I'll just roll the healing now, since Reavis never went unconscious. I misread the earlier post.

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

That's 38 HP, Reavis is completely healed. 4 charges remain on his wand.

After healing himself, Reavis drinks his second extract of Shield.

Sarephta assists in healing everyone who is injured, hoping she can keep the rest of them alive.

Everyone go ahead and roll how much you need to heal up. I have 1 more channel left...I could use it if we need it.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Takkit looks at his wand with a strange expression.
That's the last time I buy a wand from there...

Everyone go ahead and roll how much you need to heal up. I have 1 more channel left...I could use it if we need it.

What are we rolling, exactly?

Your own CLW rolls if you are injured. I can use a channel, if needed.

I don't have anything for that.

You have time to heal before homing on the sleds before go into the next part.

Takkit loads Tomas' body inot the sled as the group sets off down the hill at a little slower pace. Behind them and around them, drums and smoke signals swiftly spread the beastmen’s voices through the lower peaks. The violation of the holy lands, slaying of their brethren has roused them to war.

Takkit will tap Zeno with his Wand of Infernal Healing before setting off in the sleds.
Ise Magic Device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Reavis sighs deeply with annoyance and points towards the wings of the 'dragon', "As if this trip couldn't get any worse, there's a bunch of Aspis jerks barreling straight for us."

I have two alchemist's fire flasks... If we could hit them we could set their sleds on fire with them, then they can't chase us!

I thought I had healed up previously and hadn't taken damage that I remember. Regardless, I'll heal up to full as we were traveling.

Auto-make the perception

"I see them, too," Sarephta says. "I will pray for an avalanche," she says in jest.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

@- Sarephta- everyone took damage from the Taer's spears.

As the Valley narrows within the wings the sleds begin to speed up on their downhill slope. Looking up Takkit, Reavis and Sarephta see just in time as four sleds full of eight Aspis Consortium agents that have been lying in wait in the hilltops on either side of the pass.

A chorus of yowling dogs echoes from atop the surrounding hills. Suddenly, from out of the snow-covered brush shoot four teams of dogsleds. They barrel down the hills at breakneck speed. Your sleds bounce with the racing winds and bright sun reflecting off the snow.

No map for this one. While attacking I will refer to them as sled 1,2,3,4

The four sleds are gaining quickly behind you. 60 feet behind you. You can make ranged attacks at a -4 penalty.

Drivers please make your DC 10 Handle Animal (or crash) check each round. We have about 4-5 rounds before you reach the ice dunes of the talons heading on your way back down.

Takkit turns, and lobs an alchemist's fire at the sled closest to him.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Attack, Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Any particular reason we just don't stop the sleds and take these guys out? I worry that the crash damage is going to be worse than anything they can do. If the Taer show up, they'll be attacking them as well.

Reavis appears to be considering some idea as he fires an arrow at the driver of the closest sled.

Longbow + Mutagen: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

(Where did I take 12 damage? If that's not a mistake and I simply missed it, I'll heal up and renew my false life.)
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
false life: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

handle animal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

I'm very likely to crash this before I make it. Obviously, as soon as any sled crashes, we all need to stop, so I'm also on board with stopping the sleds voluntarily now, rather than wait until someone takes damage from crashing, then fighting.

Sarephta manages to guide her sled temporarily as she contemplates stopping the sled. She casts protection from evil on herself in preparation for combat.

If that is your intent. The sleds are currently going speed 5. As a move action you can slow them by 1 increment each round with a DC 12. Or as a full round you can do a full stop with a DC 20

Sarephta manages to guide the sled for a bit as she slows it down. Taking a hand off the reins she casts a protective spell over herself.

Though Takkit's aim is good he does not manage to get nearly enough distance in his throw to strike the Aspis agents. The alchemist fire explodes on the ice behind him as his sled slows.

@Dolores. You all took damage from the Taers spears as you were running to the sleds.

Reavis leans back in the sled and fires an arrow at the lead sled. His shot glances right into the sled's musher

The Aspis agent in the third sled (Fyrth) grabs a net from his side and attempts to hurl it at Takkit.

Net vs Takkit Tch AC 17: 1d20 + 7 - 4 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 4 - 10 = 6

The net falls short as the wind catches it and nearly covers the agent himself.

A 19 misses touch? Wow

Sarephta tries to slow the sled down, but is unable to do so. It continues at a fairly rapid clip.

handle animal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Move action to slow down.
handle animal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 Standard action to not crash!

With distance it does. Alchemical weapons have a range of 10 feet. for every range increment past that it is -2. So you would have had an additional -10 for distance on that flask putting you at a 9 to hit as you had to throw it an additional 50 feet.

Range Increments

You are correct. I hadn't even considered distance. For some reason in my head I had them right behind me.

@Dolores. You all took damage from the Taers spears as you were running to the sleds.

(Ah, okay, though I think that was 13 damage which probably confused me. Is it all right if my retroactive heals (as in my post above) are in effect now?)

(Posting my action in advance: Dolores readies an action to cast cause fear DC 18 when a musher becomes within 40 feet of her.)
Handle Animal to keep moving: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Sarephta's begins to lose control of her sled as it goes out of control. Trying to regain control she turns hard right and flips the sled, throwing everyone out.

Distance Thrown: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6) = 10

Sarephta bounces off of the ice as Cinderhall casts a quick spell on Dolores' dogs.

Somehow the dog has a steep trap for a mind and doesn't let the fear overwhelm it.

"'Avalanche' is a fitting one-word description of this day in all regards..." Mutters Zeno as he wards himself with his mithril-pearl wand again.

Shield.

Who am I sledding with?

I assumed we kept the same sleds as last time, so Reavis is with Dolores.

Reavis fires another arrow at the musher in the first sled. "We might want to slow down to help the others." He suggests to Dolores.

Longbow + Mutagen: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Not sure why the sleds only have one speed: 90 mph. I've taken more damage from falling off the sled this adventure than I've taken cumulatively over 5 levels, which is pretty absurd. This is the scenario's fault, not our good DM, but I've just got to say it. :/

Stand and CLW

Sareptha watches the rest of her team, already ahead of her, continue racing forward. She prepares to face the entirety of the Aspis team with Takkit.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
