GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

As dayo is still running away, I'll skip over him for now.

Vitro: Throws a blast of Acid at Orik, but misses.

Justin: Finishes growing Oskar to massive proportions. He shoots a ray of fros at Lyrie. Normally it would have been a miss, but its close enough to pop one of the mirror images.

Bruthazmus: Is looking a lot less happy with Shalelu's second arrow sticking out of his chest.
He draws another wicked looking arrow and takes aim.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + (4, 4) = 16

Again the bugbears aim is true, and Shalelu is starting to look worse for wear.

Nualia: Suddenly distracted by the giant Oskar, Nualia turns her attention from Vitro to the giant Half-Orc.

"Mother, lend me your strength!"
Shalelu's clawed arm starts glowing with a malicious light.

sword attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Seeing Oskar fall, Nualia slashes her claw at shalelu.

claw attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Bleed for the Mother!

Lay on hands: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
After that he asks the gods for help and casts Bless
Vy has now 11 damage

Snowflake: Exchanges his life energy with Oskar, then heals himself. The Bless reverbrates trough the cathedral, making Nualia look up in anger.

Shalelu: Wounded, but not ready to give up, Shalelu shoots at the bugbear again.
ranged attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Oskar is up! Oskar is conscious again.

[OSKAR]

On second thought, it's gettin' a bit cramped in here.

Oskar does a roundhouse kick at the "woman" threatening Shalelu, and punches the knee of the man on his other side.

Flurry Woman, Big, Prone: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 + 2 - 4 = 12
Unarmed Damage, Big: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Flurry Man, Big, Prone: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 2 + 2 - 4 = 19
Unarmed Damage, Big: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

[/OSKAR]

Oskar: Kicking Nualia doesnt work, but thanks to Snowflake's Bless, he solidly punches the man in the knee. The man crosses his eyes in pain for a moment. He's not looking too good after receiving this punch.

Yeth hound: Unnerved by the suddenly large Oskar, the Hound howls again, but to no effect.

Lyrie: Lets out a yelp as the ray of frost gets a little too close to comfort. She looks scared at the huge form of Oskar.
She starts inching her way towards the door. 5-foot step

Scared, she casts a spell at Oskar.
ray attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

fortitude save Oskar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

The ray hits Oskar, and he feels a little bit of his strength fading away. Ray of Enfeeblement, penalty on Strength of -2

Orik will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Orik clearly looks like he rather not be here. His eyes flicker from the bugbear to Nualia, and he holds his ground.
With Oskar still being the greatest threat, Orik strikes at the large prone Half-Orc.
sword attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Round 3

Nualia Divine favor up. False life up
Snowflake 12 damage

Justin, Vitro and Dayo are up! Dayo is no longer scared!

Doesn't Dayo basically spend these next two rounds running back?

I thought you were cowering behind the door? Because you could no longer see the Hound once you were behind the door.

Works for me!

Dayo shakes his head and looks to Justin with a "What just happened?" look. He then reflexively grabs his dropped sword and leaps into the room, flanking claw-lady with prone-Oskar.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

EDIT: forgot I was small.

Vitro eyes Orlik, sensing fraying nerves, and lobs some more acid at him.

ranged touch, PBS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

(if that hits:)

acid damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"This is the last warning shot I'm going to give you. You're just a mook to these scum, you should walk away."

I think i need a who's who with the pictures

Justin draws out a healing potion and his dagger and walks over to Claw lady, extending Shelehue's meatwall.

"Snowflake, if this is your last moment on earth before you get cast into a fiery abyss for all eternity, I just want you to know, I told you so... "

He walks up and draws his dagger out "Oo look, i seem to have left the door opened, And unguarded. It would be a shame if someone that wanted to live ran out of it.

I'm not entirely sure what Dayo is doing. It it a parry and repost thing if he draws an AoE?

I think he's planning for the badguy to try to go around him after Shelu.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate the dicreoller sometimes. Because BigNorseWolf posted in between (not a fault of him), all the dicerolls changed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I totally forgot two iteratives for Shalelu. She didnt get it the first round as she moved, but she is still two attacks 'due'.
As a lot can hang on their outcome, and its fairly easy to fix in PbP, i'm doing them now.

iterative1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
iterative2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21

damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Dayo: tries to tumble past Nualia, but she is too fast for him to get past.

AoE: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Vitro: Orkik barely manages to raise his shield in time to catch Vitro's acid blob. Orik is looking very unhappy.

Justin: Grabs a potion and stands in front of Shalelu.

Bruthazmus: Appears to only just realize he is out of luck. He tries to withdraw and falls on his face, unconcious.

Nualia: Ignoring the unconcious Oskar, Nualia focusses on Dayo.
"You should have stayed away little man."
Her claw glows again.

sword attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15

claw attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Snowflake is up!

Again, Snowflake absorbs some of the wounds from Oskar. He grunts, and takes a deep breath..and rolls of the altar towards Oskar. Eristil must be with him because he ends up with his hands upon the Big Guy.
lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Vy takes 5 damage bringing him to 16 hp damage. Oskar heals for 11 hp

Snowflake: Passes on some of his life force to Oskar, waking up the Half-Orc.
Then he manages to wiggle off the altar, roll down the stairs (that part is not so hard), and comes to a stop to Oskar's still prone body.
A lay on hands, and Oskar is beginning to feel a lot better.

Oskar is up! I'll see how that goes and base Shalelu's actions on that.

[OSKAR]

Oskar flops over and clutches his temple in between gasps and sputters of blood.

"Looky here. Clearly there's been some sorta misunderstanding. It's you supposed to be on the floor struggling to keep up. Lemme show you."

Grapple, Dan Bong, Big, Prone: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 + 3 - 4 = 27

With Nualia firmly in his grasp, Oskar stands up.

[/OSKAR]

(I believe that's right, +10 grapple, +2 Dan Bong, +1 Large, +2 Justin, –4 Prone)

I'm not entirely sure what Dayo is doing. It it a parry and repost thing if he draws an AoE?

I started playing a reach fighter in another PbP and it helped the GM to pre-roll my attacks of opportunity so gameplay wasn't slowed down. I spoiler them so they don't take up a lot of space until needed.

Oskar: manages to get a hold of Nualia.

Shalelu: spits in the direction of the Bugbear's corpse, then draws two silver arrow and fires at the Yeth hound.

shot: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18
iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Yeth Hound: Yelps in pain. Not really regestring Oskar as a threat, the Hound flies over Oskar and Justin.

Provoking from both

The hound then bites at Shalelu.

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
But its teeth dont penetrate the armor.

Lyrie: Unsure what to do, Lyrie uses her wand again.

magic missle at oskar: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Orik: Quickly glances at the downed bugbear and the grappled Nualia, then makes a run for it.

He provokes from Oskar, Vitro and Justin

Round 4

Justin, Vitro and Dayo are up!

Since Oskar has the Grappled condition, he unfortunately cannot take Attacks of Opportunity =(

Dayo looks between the object of his fear, and the bloodied Oskar holding a cat by its hackles.

"Oskar... I have to do this."

He then focuses on the Hound. Dayo closes his eyes for a moment, and by the time he opens them his golden scales are glowing with a dim, but warm, light.

Smite Evil, Flurry on Hound.

"GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!"

Flurry#1, Smite: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 17
Small Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

Flurry#2, Smite: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 28
Small Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

Overcomes DR if it's Evil.

Justin tips his non existant hat to the fleeing mook, five foot steps over, clambers up Oskars leg and pours a healing potion into his mouth.

"I don't mean to get in between you two love birds but its either this or find out if it works "the other way" " "

healing potion from the druid: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Justin tips his Tiara to the fleeing mook and...

Not really expecting Orik to run past him, Vitro's sword lashes out in reflex.

AoO, ES: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"Sorry, reflexes!"

With that he turns towards the rest of the brawl. Since Orik has taken the advice not to put himself in front of anymore snowballs, now's the time to put them to better use. Just hoping Nualia hasn't become too much demon for elemental magic to remain useful. Vitro steps in front of the struggling Nualia, waits for her to open her mouth for breathing or talking, and chucks in another snowball.

ranged touch, PBS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

cold damage: 5d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 4, 1) + 1 = 16

Dayo: Channeling the wrath of Apsu, Dayo smites the Yeth hound. Both swings cut deep, and the hound collapses on the floor.

Dayo: Channeling the wrath of Apsu, Dayo smites the Yeth hound. Both swings cut deep, and the hound collapses on the floor.

Justin...manouvers...himself up Oskar, and helps Oskar drink a potion.

Vitro: casts a snowball at Nualia. He can see that it hurts her, but not as much as he would have expected.

Nualia: "Mother will cleanse you all!"
The scars on her belly glow an angry red, and a wave of Negative energy spreads troughout the room.

negative energy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

will save vitro: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
will save Justin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Snowflake is up!

Vy sees Dayo go down, and he's torn by emotions. There are comrades to be healed and rescued and his sister needs to be...
He makes a decision. He says to Justin"Cut my bonds and I'll show you what divine retribution looks like"
He pushes off from Oskar, giving him his last peace of his healing power and presents his tied-up wrists to Justin.
Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Vy takes 5 damage, bringing him to 24 damage.Oskar heals 5+4=9 bringing him to 13 damage`

Drat! Lol. Didn't expect her to channel. That puts me right at –1.

"Why would I cut your bonds if you're going t.. OH. On her. Sure thing. "

Oh right that's ME!!

[OSKAR]

Oskar seems surprised to still be holding on to the vixen. He clenches down harder.

Maintain Grapple to Pin: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 5 = 36

[/OSKAR]

Oskar: Groans, and keeps on squeezing.

Shalelu: takes a few steps and takes a shot at the caster still cowering in the corner.

shot: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 = 19
mirror image: 1d3 ⇒ 1
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Lyrie: Looks shocked that she is actually hurt. She grits her tetth and casts a spell on Oskar. Or specifically... the Dan Bong
will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
With a loud crack, the Dan Bong shatters into a thousand pieces!

Lyrie then takes a few steps towards the door.

Orik: You dont see him, but you hear hurrying steps down the hallway, receding.

Justin, Vitro and Dayo are up!

Dayo turns from the hound, his sword covered in hairy ichor, and looks to the held Nualia.

(crosses fingers that a 10 hits her pinned AC)

Dayo meekly groans as he tries to stabilize from his grievous wounds.

Stabilize Con Check: 1d20 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 1 = 7
Bleeding Out: 1 = 1

Cuts snowflake loose

With Oskar's dan bong crumbling Vitro tries to seize the moment before the demonette can escape his pin. But really, he's trying to keep her attention on him instead of on the rest who aren't doing so well.

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Pinned creatures lose Dex and also take -4AC. Could be enough..

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Don't forget the bless

14 to hit then

If you 5 foot step then Dayo can flank when/if he's conscious ^_^

If you 5 foot step then Dayo can flank when/if he's conscious ^_^

I can't, there's a pillar in the way :(

Dayo: Bleeds all over the floor.

Justin: Cuts snowflake's bonds.

Vitro: Takes a chunk out of Nualia's leg. He's pretty sure its the combo of pin and bless that lets him hit.

Nualia A fire rages in her eyes. [b]"Try as you might brother, to build it all up, I shall burn it down and build something better from the ashes.

Justins induration to the raw energies of evil is disturbing, but not particularly surprising..

Hmm I think this is going to end badly... Lol

Snowflake stops his link with Oskar to stay alive...he needs to decide. His friend wants to come out and help...but than he realizes there might be a way to save Nualia, now that Oskar is holding her. If they all stay alive long enough

Maintain Grapple to Damage: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 5 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

I believe that's the correct damage...

[/OSKAR]

"Shalelu! Forget the girl in the corner! Focus on the half-demon that's trying to kill us!"

Oskar: Holds tight to Nualia and dashes her head into the ground.

Shalelu: "YOU focus on that half-demon. That #$%& Bugbear just got healed and I'll be damned I'll let him wake up."

Shalelu drops her bow and grabs her sword, standing next to the Bugbear.

"I #$%& dare you stand up you piece of filth."

Lyrie: Eyes darting from Nualia to Bruthazmus, Lyrie opens the door to the prison room and makes a run for it.

Orik: The sound of footsteps recede.

Dayo clambers to his feet once more, groggy but gaining focus. He opts to leave his sword on the ground, and instead rips Nualia's unholy symbol from her neck.

"Does anyone have rope?"

Every time Nualia channels, you see the scars on her belly glow an angry red. She does however have a symbol of Lamashtu

I forgot to put it in my last post, but its Dayo, Vitro and Justin's turn

My turn was [move action] stand up and [standard action] steal maneuver, targeting her unholy symbol.
