Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

Their turn:

the two baby statues pummel Altai; two slams each; one connects for 9 h.p. in damage.

Two slaadi at ij 14-15 and kl 14-15 pummel on Gittik;
the first one hits with two claws, the second one hits with two claws.

Gittik takes 53 h.p in damage.

The slaad at mn 14-15 moves to n-o 19-20, swipes at Stiggy once,
for a big miss.

Two scorching rays shoot from above the Olmec statue head on the right. They both strike Stiggy, for 23 h.p. in damage.

rest of the group's attack;
Elgan's able to bust out that summon spell if that's still what he wants to make happen.

Reinforcements, coming up!

Elgan HOWLS, and is answered by a sudden rush of wind and blown debris. The debris Burst aside to reveal a large, perturb, Dire lion. This Dire beast looks even more powerful than the norm for it's kind. And it's green, with vines and other vegetable matter clinging to it's fur and spikes.

Elgan howls and points, it roars in response, and leaps upon the nearest sladdi,...

Summmoned it RIGHT next to one of the sladdi in the back, or where it can get/give flanking!

My friend has teh greenbound template, just a reminder,...

SO, AC:22, HP:70, Bite; +15 (1d8+10 +GRAB) 2 claws +16 (1d6+10)

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d6d20 + 16 ⇒ (20, 5) + 16 = 411d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 191d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Elgan roars in joy and wades into the nearest enemy, trusting in his stoneskin and fire resistance to save him, and to try to prevent another crossfire of,... fire!

Bite, claw, claw, HAsted bite

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 201d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 161d6 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 141d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 321d6 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 161d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 261d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The {edit}dire lion{edit} appears at ij 12-13 and merrily starts wailing on the slaad in kl 14-15.
It finishes that much injured purple slaad, and in it's position sets Gittik up for a flankee spankee.

Elgan's used up all his juice finishing the summons, and so can't attack until the next round.

Altai, Stiggy, Pip, Oso, and Gittik are up to the plate!

Still a baby at L-M/18-19, right?

Yeah, as well as at jk 18-19. And there's a slaad breathing down your neck at n-o 19-20.

He came to me, excellent. It's really hard for Stig to move all that lard around the field. 5 foot step to m20 so I'm within reach of both. Stig starts out with the slaad.

"Yoo've coome tae 'e reit place, eggplant."

att1 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36
dam1 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (5, 5) + 24 = 34

att2-haste 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20 FUMBLE!
dam2 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (4, 3) + 24 = 31

att3 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
dam3 2d6 + 24 ⇒ (1, 6) + 24 = 31

The xorn appears

I reckon its a dire lion ... Pip's xorn summoning failed.

You hit the first one, so you can cleave the babby...
you hurt the slaad up pretty good; fumble (20 ha!) misses of course.
He's taking full on damage from your blows; none of this "do my sword up with good auras" crap for these hardheads anyhow.

And he's all like "I like it when my mates play hard-to-get. Let me romance you, bubby!"

And it was a Xill, I'll try again

"Abraca Pocus! Hocus Cadabra! Walla Walla Washington!"

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

That'll get her dunn.

Who you wanna sick the xill on?

Gittik's double teaming one slaad with a dire lion.

Two (unless Stiggy cleaves one to hell) statuebabbies are on Altai, and one Slaad is on the Stigginator.

Stiggy's got an AOO on a statue,
Pip can attack with his (somewhat ironically chosen-find out later) Xill,

and Altai, Gittik, and Oso have an attack left this round...

"Hah! One down! I told you we'd render your bodies down for parts if you attacked us. Not your heads, though - you guys are too stupid even for mindless automaton bits." Altai proceeds to blast the clay babies with fiery magic.

I'm casting Scorching ray. I'll start on the one on the left. Ray 1: Attack roll 11+8+1(haste)=touch AC 20, damage 19 fire. Ray 2: Attack roll 10+8+1=touch AC 19, damage 11 fire. I then scoot back 5' to K22. Sadly, I'm still prone. Oh, and I'm down to 5 hp.

The baby statue on the left is fragged; the scorching ray cracks it and makes it shatter.
The baby statue on the right is almost destroyed; that's the one Stiggy has a cleave on this round.

Altai feels better; breathes a sigh of relief that the babbies are mostly out of his face. If this was 4e or World Championship Wrestling, he'd get him a healing surge or whatever. (JFK!!!)

PLEASE, STIGGY!!! DON'T HURT ME!!!

+2 ATK/DAM/CHARM/FEAR

Forgot that earlier...

You hit the first one, so you can cleave the babby...

En?

att 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
dam 2d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 6) + 26 = 34

Stiggy's got an AOO on a statue...

Or is that just the cleave? Well, if you need it:

att 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37
dam 2d6 + 26 ⇒ (5, 5) + 26 = 36

Yeah; I meant cleave. I thought I changed that....

Stiggy shatters the last hapless baby statue with his earthbreaker, and the craptalking slaad allows a twinkle of respect to flicker in his eye.

Or it might be some kinda disease he acquired from swimming in the chaotic sewagechoked streams of some helltorn Limbo that would cause utter madness in man or dwarf; there's no telling.

Pip's Xill,
Gittik and Oso and then Beldan are up to the plate in this battle with batrachians that should not be.

It's CLEAVE, you idiot!!!

"Biff,.....get your damn hands off her....."

No Biff ... you leave her alone.

Still got 3 slaad standing right?

storeeeeeez!!! science.....fiction.....storeeeeeez!!!

Naah; two. one at ij 14-15 fighting Gittik and flanked by a dire lion and one at n/o 19-20 fighting the Stiggmcmeister.

The babbystatues are dusted.
I figured Altai would dig them, what with his collecting for a shield guardian and all.

Ah, cool, I see it now, the lion got it.

When its Beldan’s turn, he’s gonna haste-move to P19 to flank with Stig, acrobating at half speed the last few feet to avoid AoOs through the salads reach 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41, DC = CMD, then attack with his rapier (draw it on the run, drop it crossbow), 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 36, Damage:1d6 + 5d6 + 1 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (2) + (5, 6, 2, 3, 3) + 1 + 2 + 5 = 29 extra +5 is bleeding attack, also crippling strike does 2 Str dmg on successful hit.

Much appreciated. I think there'll be a lot of slaad in that shield guardian. It would be a shame to waste all these high-quality draconic parts just lying around here. ;P

Pip's Xill,

Are xill those creepy four-armed ethereal humanoids?

Oh yeah, shield guardian changed didn’t it? Not a separate type of construct anymore, just a template or quality or something that you can add to another type of golem – so going for a flesh golem shield guardian?

Are xill those creepy four-armed ethereal humanoids?

Yeah. I think they’re from Gehenna or somewhere, but they can planeshift or go ethereal or something – along with the folk they abduct (to plant eggs in them, not dissimilar to slaadi)

The plan is to build a flesh golem with the sheld guardian upgrade. I need about 20.000 more pieces of gold and a month or so in the lab and then... It'll be pretty freaky - slaad arms and legs and the head of the white tiger rakshasa, all decked out in bulette-hide spiked full plate. I think I'm going to name it "Huggy". ;D

Sez they're ethereal, totalitarianistic; they're all female and lay eggs in people.

That slaad's getting pretty hosed, slowly but surely. He doesn't have much more dog in this fight.

Oh, they live on the Ethereal do they? I’m not real familiar with them – about the only time I’ve come across them in an adventure that I can recall where they weren’t just a summoned monster or a random encounter was this Dungeon mag adventure where they were kidnapping people and (I thought) taking them to Gehenna. I dunno, might have my wires crossed.

I'll have to take this science project into account when I pick monstahs I reckon. I guess when it gets hurt and whatnot, you can fight with Tenser for the choice morsels to do a patchjob on old Huggy.

I just looked at the bestiary; that's how I knew. I can't keep much straight past demons, devils, daemons, gith this/n/that on the outer planes....

I have that Dungeon; it had the Porphyry House Horror in there. BOVD insert with breastises and everthin. Good times...

Gittik's foe taunts him for teh lulz:

"Heh heh....you am look tired, little mommy-to-be. You lie down now get your rest. You am be eating for two soon as I infect you."

Heh heh...maybe Sooty....

With these guys, I'm almost there. I thought it would be funny to have a drow torso or something like that - tiny center mass with these freakishly long arms and legs. It'll look like a clawed, fanged Manute Bol - if ol' Manute wore spiky plate mail.

That's the one. Titties!

Give it a female body so you can pop a paper bag over its head and use it as a pleasure robot between adventures.

EDIT: sorry, I think that Porphyry House Horror talk got to me ...

The Jackal's Price I think the adventure was called (the one with the Xill, not the one with the <REDACTED> prostitutes.

yeah; I got it somewhere around the place.

You're creeping out the run-of-the-mill necrophiliacs, man!

aww, man....we need Xanesha for this here....

Now there's a thought that shouldn't be pursued too closely. What absolute, total bastards those fights were.

[ooc]Well, you’re talking a 10th level, 7 man party here, vs a 6th level, 6 man party in the other game – I reckon we’d make her our b~$!$ here. And her sister.

True, but still.... Those super-lamias are some seriously cool monsters, though, and made for memorable opponents.

Enough talk of what we are doing after the fight - time to slice and dice (and hopefully live long enough to survive since I've taken a pasting). Full attack on laughing boy.

RH kukri 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 40, damage 1d3 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14, crit confirm 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 37, extra damage if confirmed 1d3 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12
RH kukri 2 (haste): 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 37, damage 1d3 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
RH kukri 3: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 38, damage 1d3 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12, crit confirm 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 20, extra damage if confirmed 1d3 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
LH kukri 1: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 22 = miss
LH kukri 2: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 26, damage 1d3 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 electricity

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

True, but still.... Those super-lamias are some seriously cool monsters, though, and made for memorable opponents.

It's all in the story-telling.

When its Beldan’s turn, he’s gonna haste-move to P19 to flank with Stig, acrobating at half speed the last few feet to avoid AoOs through the salads reach 1d20 + 23, DC = CMD, then attack with his rapier (draw it on the run, drop it crossbow), 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2, Damage:1d6 + 5d6 + 1 + 2 + 5 extra +5 is bleeding attack, also crippling strike does 2 Str dmg on successful hit.

Just realised (after seeing Gittik's attack) this threatens a critical, so:

I'll send Egglantine over to flank with Stig I guess

Pip points at the slaad whacking his dwarvish comrade.

"Go gettim Egglantine!"

The bizarre red-carapaced four-armed insect weirdo strides forth, swinging her swords.

I am assuming a flank bonus?

Dices:

If the 1d20+11 attack hits the slaad will need to roll a DC16 fort save vs paralysis for 1d4 hrs

Oso moves back into the middle of the road, to where he can reach both slaadi. Move to kl/17-18

Then he slashes at the dire lion fighting Gittik with Voidwand the Keen.

Rage, take cleave as my weapon master feat for this round. Main attack 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26, damage 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19, Cleave attack (if the first hits) 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36, damage 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17, Possible critical cleave on Stig's slaadi 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37, damage 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22.

Forget the cleave stuff, just re-read the feat and the slaadi aren't adjacent to each other.
