GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

He glances back at Justin and then at out-cold Oskar before continuing to track the cats.

"I was raised by humans for a couple of decades, who thought my parents had been killed in an orc raid. Messed me up a bit..."

"That would mess anyone up. Specially a human "

You can tell from the way Dayo keeps turning his head that he finds the current back-and-forth interesting, but he doesn't yet speak on it himself.

Why would it be troubling for an Elf to be raised by Humans?

save kitty red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
save kitty green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Vitro: casts another acid cloud. The red kitty manages to shrug most of it off, but green starts hacking and coughing.

All the goblins:

Green: Still too focussed on Snowflake to notice his buddies have all fallen down, green manically laugs and takes another stab at snowflake.

stabby green at snowflake: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
But its a miss.

The other goblins are a bit confused about a longshanks being *small* but they appear to be unwilling to just cross the kitties.

Purple, orange and red fill up the corridor space, looking to get a stab in at Dayo.
stabby purple at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
stabby orange at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
stabby red at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

They try their best but fail.

round 6

CATS 10 damage red, 2 damage green
Justin
Vitro
All his goblin friends
Dayo
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake

Dayo, Oskar and Snowflake are up.

(Oskar dreams the craziest dream, wherein he is mauled by a cat, and it turned him small...)

"Shoo! SHOO!!" Dayo shouts as he slashes again at [red].

Small Mwk Broadsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Small Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Unable to help Dayo with the cat due to the acid, and make a way towards Oskar, Vy continues to try and kill the goblin
melee attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Unable to help Dayo with the cat due to the acid, and make a way towards Oskar, Vy continues to try and kill the goblin

[dice=melee attack]1d20+3
[dice=damage]1d6+2

Something you guys would probably know by now, but enemies generally don't, because it's a silly game mechanic; the cloud only deals damage when I cast it, not to people who walk into it later.

I dont think there was room for snowflake in the first place, unless he moved trough Dayo's space, provoking from both cats, which is very, very dangerous while squeezing. The goblins have filled the space now. Walking all the way around would still be an option, but its one that takes some time.

Oscar: Has a crazy dream. Maybe next time less cheese before taking a nap? ;)

Dayo: 'Shoos' at the red Kitty, but the Kitty proves to bee too agile and manages to avoid the attack.

Snowflake: Takes another stab at the goblin. But its another miss.

CATS: Green snarls at red again. Both cats keep up the attack.

Bite red kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20
claw red kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
claw red kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21

The green Kitty seems increasingly frustrated and snarls more at the red Kitty.

Bite green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
claw green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
claw green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19

damage bite: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 1 = 7
damage claw: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (1) + 1 = 4

Green Kitty looks... smug... at ripping Dayo's leg to shreds.

round 7

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 4 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 11 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake

Justin and Vitro are up!

Waiting for Justin to finish his spell Vitro peers at the cats, looking for something to exploit.

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Red Kitty is a firepelt cougar, a species native to the region. They are named so for the bright red stripes in their otherwise black fur.
Being both lithe and strong, they are many a farmers bane, as their small frame doesnt hinder them in dragging of sheep and goats.
They are also known for being able to trip people with their bite (trip special ability on bite attack).
Being fast and great sprinters, firepelt cougars arent easy to catch.
Lowest save is will save. Not much else special going on

This specimen looks to be in peak physical condition.

That green thing however... that doesnt look like a natural creature at all! It looks like its some kind of shape shifter....

Justin is unaware of the irony of red kitties name is about to have. As V starts to shrink justin unfurls a scroll and yells out in goblin

Fillt d'Wierder dech an Är Séil verbrennen!

Can't miss the caster level check as Justin drops a flaming sphere on the red kitty for 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5) = 10 damage. Reflex 13 for half. The will save to not cry at spending so much money to save oskar will be significantly higher.

oops thats reflex negates. still. trying to burn the kitty.

Green Kitty looks... smug... at ripping Dayo's leg to shreds.

Dayo lets out a little too girly of a scream as his leg gushes red.

"Maybe.. we... should.. retreat?"

"We do that and Oskar is lunch. We don't need to kill all the goblins just enough to get our point across..some healing would HELP!.. where's that blasted wolf of his? There's CATS over there to eat for crying out loud "

reflex save red Kitty: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Red Kitty is stratled by the appearance of a big ball of fire, but manages to avoid being hit.

The remaining goblins, emediately assume the ball of fire is on their side and start cheering.

Well, kitty might move out of flank now. We hope.

You're up vitro. You're our only hope...

Vitro shakes his head as the goblins cheer the ball of fire.

"Take that thing with you and go play with it!"

I can't cast color spray without risking taking one of you with it.

Now-shrunken enough to properly walk upright, Vitro quickly steps around to flank the red kitty. Sadly he has to provoke from the green goblin to get there.

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"This one's fast... the other one is a shapechanger, and judging by the way he crossed the hedge earlier, I'd guess a druid. Maybe you'll have more luck scorching him."

Aaand I just remembered I still have that wand of shocking grasp. Oh well, 12 touch probably wouldn't have helped either, since kitty isn't conductive enough. But it's something to use on the goblins.

Well, kitty might move out of flank now. We hope.

You're up vitro. You're our only hope...

Doooooom

Justin: casts flaming sphere

Vitro: Finally has room to manouver. But he has to manouver past the green goblin to avoid the kitties.

AoO green goblin at Vitro: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

But green is again too excitable to hit accurately.

All the goblins:

With Dayo still standing, the goblins are not giving up!

stabby purple at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
stabby orange at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
stabby red at Dayo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Green is not giving up! There is a hairy long shanks in his way, and he'll deal with it! Even if its the last thing he does!

stabby green at Snowflake: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Finally! His time has come to be a hero!
damage green at snowflake: 1d4 ⇒ 2

round 7

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 4 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 11 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

Dayo, Oskar and Snowflake are up!

Vy moves away from the goblin, risking an attack of opertunity, to help take out the red cat, and open up otions
melee: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Hnnnggg!!"

Dayo swings with all his might against [red].

Small Mwk Broadsword, Flank!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18
Small Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

If that doesn't drop it unconscious then he'll also 5 foot step out of the Flank, diagonally up and to the right.

Snowflake: Moves next to red kitty, but his attack misses.

Dayo: Brings his broadsword down in a heavy arc, but misses by a hair.

Oskar: his dream changes to goblins dancing around a fire orb.

CATS:

handle animal: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Green mews and hisses at Red, but red steps away from the flaming sphere and moves back as far away as it can. withdraw action, which provokes from Dayo

Green snarls again and continues to attack Dayo. 5-foot step

Bite green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
claw green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
claw green kitty at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

claw damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

round 8

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 4 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 14 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

Justin and Vitro are up!

Move action: Roll the ball onto the other kitty to shoo it away. 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3) = 15 damage if he misses the reflex save

5 foot step

Move action Pull out a healing potion

He smacks Snowflakes spear and jab jabs the holy symbol on his chest

"Oh no you don't! If I can't leave, neither can you!"

Attack of Opportunity, Flank!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18
Small Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

That also missed by 1, didn't it?

With the cats being evasive, Vitro spots a chance to reduce the number of enemies and flankers. With the cover of the shrubbery protecting his spellcasting he blasts them.

colour spray on purple orange yellow and black

Then he 5ft steps west to protect Dayo from flanks

will save purple: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
will save orange: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
will save yellow: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
will save black: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

save kitty green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

what was the DC for color spray again?

For him it looks like it's 15 (1st level spell and +4 Int; I don't see any Traits or Feats bumping it).

BTW, Vitro, you have three spells selected for your Runelords Trait, including Snowball, which no longer has a saving throw associated with it since it was nerfed errata'd. Maybe Woran will let you Retrain it?

Yes, 15

watches the kitty JUST Jump out of way of the ball of fire as it sears a black mark into the ground and looks at the ash in his hands

"Are there refunds on these things? "

Justin: Moves the burning sphere. Geen kitty manages to avoid it.

Dayo: Takes another swing at red kitty, but again its a miss.

Vitro: Releases another color spray. 3 goblins fall down on the floor, drooling and uncocious.

rounds of color spray: 2d4 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + (4) + 1 = 9

All the goblins:

Green goblin is about to persue the fluffy furred longshanks so he can be a hero, but as he is about to take a diagonal step, he notices all his other friends, on the floor. Suddenly not so brave anymore, he makes a run for it!

Blue, having seen this happen before to his other group of friends, grabs purple by the scruff of his neck. "Bad magic! Bad magic makes friends go dead! The fire orb has betrayed us!"
They both make a run for it.

round 8

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 4 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 14 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

Dayo, Oskar, Snowflake are up!

Vy drops his spear and takes out his wand, and taps Dayo with it
Cure Light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Oh, thank the gods, I feel much more pleasant no-..."

And then Dayo sees the cougar circle around towards Justin.

"Bad kitty! Not for eating!"

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Die, Red! Die!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Should have just swung on Green =(

"I'm out of real spells protect someone useful to our immediate survival. I wouldn't be standing here if i didn't have an exit strategy."

Snowflake: Takes out a wand and heals Dayo.

Dayo: tries to protect Justin. He tumbles into position, but again doesnt manage to hit red.

Oskar: Still unconcious.

CATS: Red has found its original target, and happily resumes chewing.

bite kitty red at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
claw kitty red at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
claw kitty red at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Green doesnt look too happy all the goblins are either running away or unconcious.
Stuck between a fireball, a pit, and two 'longshanks', Geen five foot steps and goes for Vitro.

bite kitty green at Vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
claw kitty green at Vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
claw kitty green at Vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

round 9

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 7 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 9 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

Justin and Vitro are up!

Justin walks down to stand on oskars chest, holding out his healing potion (that doesn't look like a hard corner east of V, if it is justin will electric slide his way there)

"Please don't be dead yet, i don't want to think what I'll have to do to get this back if you are... "

He twitches his tail to send the ball of fire at the green kitty for its last round of existance.

burn baby burn disco inferno: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14

Reflex save 13. Come on 6.....

Starting to look a bit worse for wear, Vitro grits his teeth and settles down to keep the green kitty busy while Dayo handles red.

"Dayo, id felis iniuria est tantum unum. Si igitur poteris Vy aggrediendum vires liceret, quod uti possunt."

Fight Defensively: 1d20 ⇒ 12

"Dayo loquitur commune ... in certamine quam quod dicat se ex ea pugna "

"Tu non es ad me, ut locutus est draco!!"

Justin: Gets up close and personal, altough a bit of a different kind, with Oskar. He redirects the orb at green again.

reflex save green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
The diceroller really likes its kitties :(

Vitro: Ups his defenses, sacrificing accuracy for defensibly.

All the goblins: You hear screams receding in the distance, then suddenly cutting out...

round 9

CATS 10 damage red
Justin
Vitro 7 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 9 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

Dayo and Snowflake are up!

Justin: Gets up close and personal, altough a bit of a different kind, with Oskar. He redirects the orb at green again.

Look, its 67.6 degrees 24/7 year round where I'm from and I didn't remember to pack a ground pad....

"Oh, yes, on Little Beautiful it was always rather pleasant as well," he says as he furiously tries to commit felicide.

Small Mwk Broadsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Small Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Hopefully that drops Red, and then Dayo will stay adjacent for one more round to move it from unconscious to Pharasma's Kitty Daycare.

Pharasma's Kitty Daycare.

OMG :D

Red is not that with that hit, but also looking not too far off.

Vy checks Dayo, looks over to Vitro, and decides Dayo is a a tad more nimbler.
Vy taps Vitro with the wand
cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Keeping his attention mostly on the cat, Vitro breathes relief. He glances at Vy, trying to gauge whether he needs the cover to pass behind him to get to Oskar - or maybe it's safer to keep the cats' attention on those able to defend themselves? Really, it's getting time to have a talk with this guy and figure out how to talk to him when he's hearing angels.

Dayo: Has refound his footing, and deals Red Kitty a heavy blow. Red kitty is looking pretty banged up.

Snowflake: Heals Dayo some more.

CATS:

Red is feeling not too well, but stays on target.

bite kitty red at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
bite kitty red at Dayo confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

claw kitty red at Dayo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

trip attempt on bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

damage claw: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ouch... I think Dayo is down now?

Green kitty looks relieved that the burning orb is gone. It looks like its prey is cowering, so it continues to scratch at Vitro.

bite kitty green at vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
claw kitty green at vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
claw kitty green at vitro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

claw damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

round 10

CATS 18 damage red
Justin
Vitro 9 damage
All his goblin friends
Dayo 19 damage
Oskar 22 damage
Snowflake 2 damage

With the goblins out of the running, nothing happens on that initiative count untill round 16, where the first batch of Gobbs will wake up. So I'm skipping it for now.

Everyone can act!

Yep! Exactly at –1.

Stabilize, DC 11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Although it's up to you what the cat does with its remaining two attacks, since I went down on the first. Cat could have moved instead of full attacking, or auto-hit on its claws.

Sooo... I could be dead =|

" Please have flossed today please have flossed today..."

justin rams the potion down Oskars throat. I mean its a healing potion if its in the lungs it still works right?

healing potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

its a healing potion if its in the lungs it still works right?

*rolls a 1 on the die*

I don't know what I find more humorous: this statement, or that +2hp only brings him to 0...

"Crap..."

Vitro steps back and tries to take out the red kitty with a cloud of acid.

Acid Cloud: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

DC 15 halves and prevents sickened.
