GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

Yeah, I definitely should've done that. Can someone move me? Right now I'm on mobile and I am a map catastrophe waiting to happen.

I moved Oskar and his sunglasses ;)

Oskar: Two more punches sink home. You hear several bones snap and the creature starts coughing blood. Its looking bad, but its not down yet.

Vitro: positiones another cloud.

fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The could hits the sinspawn full on. Pieces of its skin start to fall off and it looks unsteady on its feet.

Flappy thing: from behind the lip of the fountain there is a small 'pop' of displaced air. A small, earth like creature appears next to Justin.

It looks like its not taking too kindly to the ratfolk.
slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
slam damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The flappy thing itself suddenly becomes visible. It appears as if she has just cast a spell.

will save Oskar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Oskar feels a cold and debilitating energy wash over him. He has become paralyzed It is from hold person. Oskar can make a new saving throw on his turn

Round 1

Sinspawn 38 damage
Oskar 7 damage
Vitro
Flappy thing
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Snowflake, Justin and Rataji can act!

"Well, crap. Rataji, you need to step up your game..."

Knowledge on the lumpy earthy thing: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Now that I can see the flappy thing clearly, what is it? (rolled a 19 on the knowledge earlier)

The lumpy thing is a small earth elemental. Flappy thing is most def a quasit.

Realizing he's facing an enemy that can resist any acid he could threaten it with, Vitro goes a little paler. Seeing Oskar out of action he turns to Rataji, and turning to Elvish hoping not to spill the game plan to the little fiend.

"To mały demon, to zimne żelazo zabierze go właściwie. Wydaje się, że można oddać więcej zaklęć niż typowy zwierzak, więc nie wiem, czy mogę zamknąć umysł.

Ale najpierw spróbuj ocalić Oskara przed tą rzeczą!"

"Dammit we both speak 5 languages pick one we both know... " he's holding a good deal of blood in from a shot right in the snout, but that thing right next to a helpless oskar is a bigger problem. He winks out of existence running up the stairs, trying to take his eyes off of what is no doubt a fascinating piece of arcana long enough to throw a grease spell under the sinspawn

DC 15 reflex save on the sinspawn.

"We are willing to discuss subletting!"

We should standardize on something our oracle understands while he's tripping...

In what passes for orcish (according to elves) Vitro tries;

"Recht, gutt Punkt ... dass de klenge Doropshi schwätzt gréng Haut? Ech keng Schrummen et mat sauerem .. Feier kal oder Blëtz och kee gutt. Oskar beréieren et an deet.Da et seng Kapp Pop maachen. Kale Eisen schueden et."

Vitro looks at Justin, hoping he can understand that... we really should have figured out mutual languages beforehand. Chances are this demon speaks Thassilonian so that's not a private language.

"Why would i learn orc you just point and grunt.

reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

pronespawn. Prawn?

headache is killing creative thinking. Will update tomorrow

Seeing the quasit, vy foregoes on the detect evil, cast a cure light, and releases the energy when he hustles over to Oskar.
Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I have to go to work soon and Rataji hasn't acted yet, I hope she's moving to northeast of the prawn as planned.

So here's my plan A: Color Spray the earth elemental, augmented by arcanist pool (DC 16 Will). Hopefully that puts it out of action. Afterwards, move west, west, southwest, so that I'm just north of the prawn. The idea is that even if we don't kill the prawn, we threaten it with so many AoOs that it can't coup de grace Oskar.

attack of oppurtunity while prone vs snowflake: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 = 8

Justin: dimensional slides again and casts crease, to great effect as the sinspawn goes down.

Snowflake: takes the risk, but the prone spawn cant hit him. He heals Oskar. Oskar's wounds close completely.

Rataji: Moves forward. With Oskar paralyzed there is no flank. But maybe she can provide one if Oskar breaks free.

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Crit?!: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

With the Sinspawn prone, Rataji expertly runs it trough.
Sinspawn is now unconcious

Round 3

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Flappy thing
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Oskar will save Oskar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Oskar is free of the spell. He can take a normal turn next round.

Vitro, do you want to change your actions now that the spawn is uncoucious?

Somewhat. Still casting Color Spray, but what I do afterwards depends on if the spray drops the elemental. If the elemental saves, I'm still moving west to hide behind Rataji.

If the elemental fails the save, and the quasit isn't flying too high, I'm moving into its square. Since he's tiny that won't provoke. Then I'll menace him with my rapier, threatening AoOs against his holy symbol/foci/spell component pouch if he has any. EDIT: on further inspection the pool is in the way, so I'd end up just next to him, not in his square. This map is full of diagonal grid angst.

If the elemental fails and the quasit is flying too high, I'm drawing a flask of holy water and taking a step southeast.

Its not the worst diagonal grid map. It at least allowed Oskar to open the door and NOT emediately block the whole doorway.

will save earth elemental: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I'm not rolling for the duration of the color spray as the elemental is a summoned creature and it will disappear before the end of color spray.

Vitro: Casts color spray. The elemental stops moving and is suddenly as unmovable as if it was truely made of rock.

The quasit is hanging quite high up, about 15 feet you think, altough the exact hight is difficult to say with a tiny creature. You're also pretty sure its a 'she'. moved you on the map.

Quasit: Shrieking angrily it turns towards Justin on the dais. "You shall not defile the Mothers gifts to us!"

She casts a spell.
will save Justin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

ROOM DESCRIPTION: The room is 20 feet high, the dais is 10 foot high.

Round 3

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Flappy thing
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Snowflake, Justin and Rataji can act!

Justin realizes he's all alone up there with the quasit staring at him. He stammers and tries to quip, but instead gives a high pitched shriek and runs down the steps and behind the party as fast as his little legs will carry him, skirts flapping all the way

Vy drops his shield and spear, grabs his crossbow and loads it. And for a moment he concentrates. Holy light shines out of his eyes
Smite Evil

Justin: Runs away as fast as his little legs can carry him.

Snowflake: Grabs his crossbow, activates smite evil.

Rataji: Curses. She did not bring a ranged back up weapon.

Round 4

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Flappy thing
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Oskar and Vitro can act!

"I have your back," Oskar says, as he stands ready by Vy while he loads his crossbow.

Gonna ready an action. If I read the map right, I'm right next to Vy, so good on that count. If the quasit tries to get in on him while he's using it, I'm gonna grab it.

If I stand under it, can I reach it with a color spray angled upwards?

If I stand under it, can I reach it with a color spray angled upwards?

Yes

Tossing aside the useless rapier, Vitro stalks up to stand under the quasit, holding the vial of holy water he just drew, trying to keep the monster's eyes fixed on a to-dodge-projectile. Then he quickly barks out a few words and tosses multicolored sand towards the open-eyed-demon and transforms them into bright light.

Color Spray, enhanced to CL 3 and Will DC 16 with arcane reservoir.

Oskar: Readies, in case snowflake gets attacked.

Vitro: Uses his arcane powers to enhance his spell.

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

The quasit blinks a few times, but resists the spell.

Quasit: "The Mother will punish you!"

Secure in her position near the ceiling, she casts another spell.
cause fear (DC 12, 30-foot radius)

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Quasit
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Snowflake, Justin and Rataji can act.

Justin pants and manages to stop themselves from running. His beady little red eyes glare at the flappy thing and he takes his spellbook out of his pocket and, not having understood Vitro , fires a ray of frost at it.

Hits AC doesn't really matter 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 + 3 = 16

for 1d3 ⇒ 2 doesn't really matter damage.

I think Justin is still in the area of cause fear? My eyes are tired so Im squinting at the map so I might just be counting wrong.

Snowflake silently says a prayer to the gods, and fires at the quassit
ranged smite attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
[ ranged smite danage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

will save snowflake: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
will save rataji: 1d20 ⇒ 16

"Oh, for... Justin, a boost please?" Oskar points to himself, then upwards, then his facial expression suddenly turns a bit sharper. "Or should I point and grunt? I was paralyzed, not deaf..."

Justin: readies his spell book

Snowflake: The crossbow bolt is a hit, and the quasit screams in pain.

Rataji: Still no ranged weapon...

Round 5

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Quasit 7 damage
Snowflake
Justin
Rataji

Oskar and Vitro can act.

"Working on it... you said you wouldn't need that one in the tunnels...though how you can hear when the bones in your ear shouldn't move is beyond me..."

"Is not tunnel, is room. Big room, with high ceilings. And doors. Everyone, make sure those all stay closed." Oskar glares up at the quasit. "I'm coming for you, tebe nemnogo boli v zadnitse."

"Right because when we came down here into a goblin tunnel we thought we'd be fighting in a big room with high ceilings and an indoor hot springs that popped out monsters..... you know except for that last bit I think we found my sales pitch... "

Vitro gets a cunning glint in his eye - needs to work on his power face a bit more. Standing next to the big pool he looks it over appraisingly.

"Eh, I think it needs a bit redecorating, it's a bit gaudy. These runes are sooo ten milennia ago."

While inspecting the pool for structural weaknesses and possible ways to destroy it, he casually holds the vial of holy water, Ready to throw it at the quazzit if it takes the bait and comes within 10ft.

Oskar: Delays (?)

Vitro: studies the fountain. The outer pool is level with the floor of the chamber. It only has a raised lip to separate if from the floor.
The middle section is raised higher and has a ring of polished human skulls balanced on stone spikes arranged in a circle around it.

It all looks to be quite sturdy.

Quasit: The wounds created by Snowflake's arrow seem to close a little bit. The quasit draws a tiny dagger and throws it at snowflake.

dagger throw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

The dagger flies back into her hand after finishing the attack.

Round 5

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Quasit 5 damage
Snowflake 2 damage
Justin
Rataji

Snowflake and Justin can act.
Just assume Rataji is on delay untill the situation changes.

"Now where was that one... oh right. On the back of the pumpernickel bread recipe. " he flips through his book

Spending an arcane point to swap grease for enlarge person.

Snowflake growls at the pain, and with even more righteous fury, fires another bolt at the demon
ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Justin: Finally remembers where he left that spell.

Snowflake: takes another shot, but misses this time.

Round 6

Sinspawn -7
Oskar
Vitro
Quasit 5 damage
Snowflake 2 damage
Justin
Rataji

Oskar and Vitro can act.

Is the spell cast, or was Justin's action last turn merely swapping it out?

Swapping it out

swapping it out. Worse its a full round cast, so prepare for a whittling contest

Vitro growls in draconic, as he draws out his shiny silver light mace and takes a swipe at the circle of skulls. Assuming I can just barely reach them without going into the pool.

"Det er praktisk talt immun for elementære angrep. Kanskje jeg kan motivere det til å komme ned, det virker ganske psykotisk."

Vitro Smash!: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Its an awkward angle, but a part of one of the skulls crack (they are real skulls, not stone)

Grunts and points at the area a few feet in front of Oskar

Oskar: Delays

Vitro: Smashes a part of the fountain

Quasit: Seems completely focused on Snowflake and his holy light. "I shall sacrifice your bones to the Mother!"

Again she throws the dagger at Snowflake.
dagger throw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

The dagger returns to her hand, and you see her wounds close a bit.

Round 6

Oskar
Vitro
Quasit 3 damage
Snowflake 4 damage
Justin

Snowflake and Justin can act.

Justin is not proud, and steps behind Rataji

"Twelve and a half ounces of rye flour. One cup of oil. Very. Slipper. Oil. " point. Grunt.

Begins casting enlarge person. If all goes well it goes off at the start of justins turn.

try and try again
Reload. Fire.
Ranged smite attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage smite: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Justin: Begins casting

spellcraft Quasit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Snowflake: This arrow flies true, and the Quasit's screaming is interrupted with a cry of pain.

Round 7

Oskar
Vitro
Quasit 7 damage
Snowflake 4 damage
Justin

Oskar and Vitro can act.

Enlarge person will go into effect on Justin's initiative

I guess I'm basically delaying, and when I embiggen, I'm gonna grab that little SOB.

Seeing Justin busy with casting, it's time to distract the quazzit as much as possible so he doesn't see the danger. Vitro's going to make a big show of trying to smash the skulls in the pool. (Trying more to make a show and not fall in, than to necessarily cause damage.)
