GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

With rest not on the docket, you head back into the caves, starting in the side cave where you fought the bat. Now you're less in a hurry, you check out its lair.

perception Vitro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
perception Justin: 1d20 ⇒ 9 or +10 with scent
perception Snowflake: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
perception Dayo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
perception Eoghan: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 +1 for traps

There are many animal bones scattered about, but searching for a bit, it looks like the bat also had some human victims.
Most of their stuff has been shredded as the bat fed. But Dayo finds a a pearl ring (worth 300 gp) on one fingerbone.
Vitro digs up an adamantine longsword.
Eoghan finds a strange hat. (you identify this as hat of disguise)
Not so picky, Snowflake and Justin pick up a scattering of coins from between the bones. (56 gp.)

Prestidigitation with extreme prejudice

local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

"We used to find these little round stones in the oysters on my island. We would throw them back into the sea, but it just seemed like they kept getting swallowed up, so we started using them as game pieces. Never occurred to us to use them as ornamentation."

Someone able to assist Vitro on that check? :)

Nope, no Local, sorry.
With Dayo's and my Lay on Hands, I'm back to full HP again, thanks!
I'd like that adamantine longsword, in case we come across anything with hardness or DR.

Roll a check and see if you get above a 10. You need a 10 to aid, and you can max get a 10 if you're untrained and I wanna give this to you because its hilarious :P

Know Local assist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

OF F~*~ING COURSE.

"So it was the one-armed man."

Oh Eoghan...

Vitro sees Eoghan stare at one of the corpses for a while as if Eoghan's trying to remember something - so he takes another look himself.

"Hey, I've seen this guy's face on a wanted poster before. There's a reward for proof of his death offered by Magnimar. I don't think you have to be the one that did the killing to claim it. Probably better we don't claim to have done the killing. He looks chewed on."

"Okay, so we take the bats severed head, the severed head of the bat turns in this guys corpse and then we collect everything. No problem. Get some sawdust I'll start casting ray of frost "

"After we remove the evil threat," Dayo chides Justin like a mother scolding a child.

"After we remove the evil threat," Dayo chides Justin like a mother scolding a child.

"We can multi task "

Leaving the corpse for now, Dayo scouts ahead a bit again.

Dayo stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Dayo perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

As he moves back into the tunnel, three figures move out of the dark and jump him!

bite yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
bite red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
bite green: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Vitro, Justin and Eoghan can act!

"At least we did not have to travel far."

I think I can make a flank in 20 feet, right? Tight corridors are hell.

Eoghan rushes forward, grabs his bastard sword, and swings at Green.

Power Attack, flank: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 20
Damage?: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Vitro steps forwards and launches an intensified snowball at one of the shapes facing Dayo. (Targeting the closest one if Eoghan hasn't killed it yet, otherwise one of the far ones. They're all in PBS range.)

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
cold damage: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4) + 1 = 20

Justin willmove up and take a shot at yellow, through a lot of legs

attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 20
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Eoghan and Vitro: Effectively dispatch two of the undead.

Justin: hits the remaining one in the leg.

Yellow: Goes all out against Dayo

bite yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
claw yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
claw yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

see guys, it goes both ways...

More shapes can be seen approaching, drawn by the sound of battle.

...and moves to intercept [purple].

+1 Nine-Ring Broadsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Magic, Slashing: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Vy links up with Dayo, Eoghan, and Justin, and moves up to cover the other tunnel with his shield and spear

Dayo: Tumbles away from yellow, its claws missing him only by half an inch.

He then slices purple deeply across the chest, but the creature remains standing.

Snowflake: Links his life force to Dayo, Eoghan and Justin

critical! froze an eyeball

attack touch: 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 + 1 = 14
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

(NOT rolling that again!)

If Yellow is still standing, move and attack Yellow. If Yellow's gone, 20 feet forward and ready an attack when something's in range.

"Dayo, I know you're good at dodging hits, but you're blocking the way for me as well. Could you step back a little and leave some for me?"

Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage?: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Yellow is a gonner!

Delaying Viro for now

Undead: With Dayo blocking the entryway, only purple can attack him.

Magic, Slashing: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Flurrying Grace#2: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23
Magic, Slashing: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Vitro (comes out of delay, I've got a couple of hours gap in the festivities), steps alongside Eoghan and fires another snowball at the frontmost ghoul (blue, probably, considering Dayo probably sliced up purple).

ranged touch: 1d20 ⇒ 18
cold damage: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 3, 6, 1) + 1 = 25

Snowflake absorbs a bit of Dayo's wounds, and advances forward, preparing to let loose some holy power on this undead
Dayo heals 5, Vy takes 5 damage. Vy prepares a channel. If he can do it as a reaction, he will do so when at least three of the undead are in reach

Dayo: Eviscerates whats left of purple

Vitro: Pancakes blue with the snowball

Snowflake: Takes on some of Dayos wounds.

Eoghan walks up next to Dayo readies an attack when a monster comes within 10 feet of him.

attack roll, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage?: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Can someone move me? I can't on mobile.
Man, typing tags on mobile sucks. :(

Eoghan[b]: Blocks the tunnel, slicing deeply into the side of an undead.

Undead
Dayo 9 damage
Snowflake 5 damage
Vitro

Dayo, Snowflake and Vitro can act!

(I will wait until Dayo has acted, because right now Eoghan&Ghoulfriend are blocking my shot, but Dayo might clear the ghoul.)

Dayo performs a couple quick strikes and ducks to avoid Vitro's next spell.

Flurrying Grace#1: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 2 = 24
Magic, Slashing: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Flurrying Grace#2: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 2 = 24
Magic, Slashing: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Yes, green has gone the way of the dodo

ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Vitro tries to get a snowball around Eoghan but it just misses the ghoul and goes off ricochetting around the corner. He readies his sword in case the ghoul comes in closer.

Two things: if they're Ghouls I think I'm immune to them. But if they're Ghasts, yeah, I'm screwed.
Second thing: haven't mentioned it in a while, but Mirror Image. Low is me.

Vy keeps on taking away damage from Dayo and Eoghan, and he walks forward
Eoghan en Day each heal 5 hp, Vy takes 10 hp damage

See! This is why you often shout about mirror image. Just like in real life games you have to shout at me to take into account good hope

mirror image?: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Boeh

So that last damage didnt happen on Eoghan

Initiative

Round 4

Justin
Eoghan
Undead
Dayo 4 damage
Snowflake 10 damage
Vitro

Justin and Eoghan are up!

See! This is why you often shout about mirror image. Just like in real life games you have to shout at me to take into account good hope

Yeah, it's a stupid ability and not ideal in a PbP format. I should maybe put it in my header when it's up, would that help?[/ooc]

Is there still anything hostile happening? The map's empty, but that might be just me. If it is actually empty, Eoghan uses a full-round action to create a new Mirror Image.
For reference, archetype explaining it is HERE. It's an at-will Mirror Image, but only one at a time. And it takes away one of the Slayer's major class features.

Eoghan barely dodges out of the way as the ghoul (?) lashes out at him, his shadow clone taking the hit for him. He refocuses his energy, his shadow slowly forming into a new three-dimensional being.

"Dayo, you go on ahead. You're better at taking hits than I am. I'm close behind you."

Also, Snowflake, you didn't have to absorb 5 of my damage, which is nice.

There is still one undead scampering about

Eoghan's paralyzed, so it's just Justin.

Justin hops up, tugs on dayos braid, and tries to yank him back as far as he can

reposition: 1d20 + 2 - 1 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 1 - 3 = 17

Justin hops up, tugs on dayos braid, and tries to yank him back as far as he can

[dice= reposition]1d20+2-1-3

..... give me a lever and a place to stand. That will Judo flip a paralyzed Dayo

I forgot the mirror image, so the attack never hit Eoghan, but the mirror image. So he is not paralyzed

DOH... will reload his crossbow.

Reserves the right to use thatroll the next time he needs to grab Doyo by the braid! :)

Sooo who's up? =P

Man, nobody's posted since last year =P
