Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

just need a set of percep/stealth rolls from Gittik and Pip, and positions and whatnot....I'll start the next wild rumpus when I get home tonight I reckon.

You need another from Pip?

Percep/Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 281d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Bleh

OOPS... duuh....you can keep the earlier better roll...derpderp!

24/40 for Pip....

As Aubrey has better things to do... Gittik's in C6. Percetion 11+8=19, Stealth 14+16=30.

Positions:
Altai: B3
Gittik C6
Tenser: C5
Claw: CD 2-3
Stig: D5
Drow housekeeper: D4
Beldan: E6
Pip: E3
Elgan F4
Oso: F3

Ogay.
The room spins 90 degrees. the alcove at d7 that connected to the hallway now connects to an identical room to above; just draw this new room with an alcove at d8, at the bottom of your map and you're good to go. Tell me if this makes sense(?)
You see 5 strange females in vudran getups with bows and swords and spears and all manner of weird bladed weaponry. They're dressed in silk like dancing girls, and look human except for their three tusked heads and six arms each.

The front one is at d11 in the other room; there's one at d12, d14, b11, and f11.

The one at d12 shoots Stiggy with an arrow. It bounces off his breastplate ineffectually, and Tenser snaps it up in his jaws.

Everybody but Stiggy and the Golem get a standard action, then it's initiative.

Is there a corridor between the rooms, or are they right next to one another?

Just the two five by five foot alcoves makes about a 10 foot corridor.

The new room is alcove at d8, g11, d14, a11, with lines for walls drawn from the sides of the alcoves to the other alcoves like the original spinning room.

Got it. I misdrew the original room, but it's corrected now.

Altai makes a quick gesture. A small ember flies into the adjoining room, where it bursts into a massive explosion.

Fireball! It lands in E11. Damage 10d6=41, Reflex 20 for half damage.

Gittik prepares an attack in case any of the multi-armed freaks rush the party.

hit me with an s.r. overcoming roll, big daddy.

What, SR? On a Wednesday? What jerks. 13+11=24.

Right on.....they can't reflex yet. They take a hard blast of helloven heat, their silks are melted to their skin, and their skin is blackened; they stand to their arms though, all six of them.

just never never on a Sunday.

"You might want to step out of the way unless you want to be trampled by the golem. He's not the nimbles fellow around", Altai mutters to the drow.

Right on.....they can't reflex yet. They take a hard blast of helloven heat, their silks are melted to their skin, and their skin is blackened; they stand to their arms though, all six of them.

One of the many incredibly disgusting 'educational' videos they showed us in the Army was about the unpleasant side effects of your sleeping bag catching fire. Getting melted fibres all over you is, to put it mildly, a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

yeah.....I've often wondered in passing about wizards and their alignments or even sanity. Could you imagine in battle immolating countless foes with fireballs? If you weren't chaotic evil and psychotic, how could you sleep at night?
I guess that'd apply to everybody else, but burning is the worst.
Don't feel bad though; these creatures have six arms filled with weird Vudran blade weapons, and they're not going to play pat-a-cake, given the chance.

craig's list ad for a rabbi versed in the dark arts to make a golem.....

Beldan five foot steps to E5 to get clear line of sight down the corridor to D11, rapid loading his crossbow (free action) as he goes – then fires at the three faced dancing girl in D11.

She’s just within 30 feet, so sneak attack should apply (if she is flat footed and / or unaware of Beldan) as does point blank shot.
Masterwork crossbow: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 + sneak attack: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 6, 6, 3) = 26 + 6 points bleed + 2 points of strength damage.

EDIT: crit confirm: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Elgan, for some reason, decides to hang back instead of charging forward as has been his usual MO lately. Perhaps he figures that if he has to bet on him and Altai's golem trying to occupy the same space at the same time,... he'd also bet on the golem?!?

He whistles ina strange warbling way, and after a moment of eerie silence, there is a chittering heard, a chittering that quickly grows very loud,...

Casts SUmmon Swarm on the 'ladies', hanging back as backup or healing, or whatever.

Beldan puts a crossbow bolt into the convergence of two of her necks, and the blood flows freely. She's direly and gravely wounded, and won't last much longer in this fight.

The swarm will show up next round on Elgan's turn.

Gittik, Oso, and Pip are up in the surprise round, and then it's initiative.

I initially thought Gittik would just prepare an attack in case they rushed us, but as it is a surprise round...

Gittik hurls a javelin at a Vudran weirdo.

No move. He only has line of sight to the one in F11, so she's the target. Attack roll 13+15=AC 28, damage 3+4=7.

Yeah; Gittik puts a javelin in her. She's presumably cursing a blue Streak in a growly falsetto Vudran.

Are they really there? Oso still has true seeing running and it will last ten minutes. Nice to remind you anyway, I was pleased when I found it isn't only 10 rounds. right enough geekyness.

Oso moves to the front and centre raising his sword Voidwand and shield, ready for battle.

Yes, they are there. Let me look at true seeing, to make sure I'm not missing anything...

Additionally, they are what they appear to be....whatever that is.

Pip's up, then it's initiative, which I'll do at home in 8 or 9 hours.

Pip will caste a Haste to get things movin, and fire up Lucille for the +3 ATK/DAM/CHARM/Fear Inspire Courage

Pip hits a power chord

"I don't know
But I been told
Multi-armed women
Ain't got no soul .."

Pip plays everybody's favorite U.S. Army jogging cadence.....

and the cosmic dice roll.

Initiative.

They got a 23.

Rolled a 14. So it's Beldan at 24, them and then the rest of us.

Right on.

Kill, Beldan! Kill! Kill! Kill!!!!

He's hasted, still gets sneak attacks with his crossbow and has that bleeding wounds/STR damage special ability... This could get pretty ugly.

Aww, dayyum.

Hey, I keep saying that Beldan's not to be underestimated. He almost always strikes first, he's very hard to hit and he does tons and tons of damage.

and he's protected by a shield of seeming innocuosity that adds more to his armor class than a lizardman's skin.

<Stig takes a swig.>

new feat........"The dwarven problem".....you can swig anything alcoholic as a free action. This doesn't work for potions, as they're not as tasty.

LOL, I was going for >Black Dog< by the Mighty Zep, but cadence works too =P

Pip keeps strumming faster and faster as the haste hits

"Sound off!
One two!
Sound off!
Three four!
Bring on back now
One two three four
One two
THREE FOUR!"

Oh; I see that now....we need headsets.

Time slows ... Beldan’s eyes narrow ... he raises his crossbow ...

... and bursts into hasted action.

Target D11 first, then if she drops 5 foot step to D6 and target D12, then D14 if somehow she drops. Attacks against D11 and D12 are sneak attacks, D14 is not (and subtract 1 from hit and damage ‘cos I can’t use point blank shot). Using Deadly Aim on all shots. Rapid reloading.

Masterwork crossbow attack 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 + Sneak Attack: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 5, 4, 4) = 23
Masterwork crossbow attack 2: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 + Sneak Attack: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 2, 4, 1) = 17 + 6 points bleed and 2 strength damage if new target.
Masterwork crossbow attack 3: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 + Sneak Attack: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 5, 5, 1) = 22 (no sneak attack damage and subtract 1 to hit and damage if this is on D14.

D11 falls with the first hit.
The second bolt hits d12, doesn't finish her/it; and the third bounces off.

Their attack coming forthwith.

D11 falls with the first hit.

The second bolt hits d12, doesn't finish her/it; and the third bounces off.

Alrighty then ... she takes the 6 bleed and 2 str damage and Beldan has stepped in front of Stig to D6.

They move in a flurry of silk and steel, tumbling around Beldan, Gittik and Stiggy; sliding adroitly into the room.
The one at d12 move to e5, attacking Stiggy; Stiggy takes 13 h.p. in damage.
The one at b11 moves to e6,
Gittik gets an aoo on her, and she attacks Stiggy for 9 h.p. in damage with a blade.
The one at f11 moves to d7, swinging and missing Beldan.
The one at d14 moves to d8, stabbing past her sister(?) with a spear; hitting Beldan for 15 h.p.

And a beauteous, tall female with skin like polished skyblue marble steps out of the wall; she's now at bc 4-5.
She stabs poor Gittik in the back with a scimitar for 39 h.p. in damage.

Group's attack.

“Oh bugger!” curses Beldan as the women slip past and around him, then “Oow!” as he’s poked with a spear.

He looks around desperately. “Stig, you take that one (E6), I’ll sneak attack the sh*t out of this one (E5) if Elgan stays where he is or swaps with Oso. Elgan, you don’t have room to go dire in here, what can you do small scale? Altai, anything you can do about spear-happy back there?”

Beldan goes again before they do, but I'll try to wait until everyone else has had their turn first.

Right on...
It's a grinder now. Standing room only in the Vivified Labyrinth.

The golem has pretty bad, yeasty breath and smells like formaldehyde and a meat market before the age of refrigerants.

Gittik takes his AoO at E6, 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 Damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 electric.

We might wait to see what Claw can do against the shaitan or see if Aubrey can chime in tonight before we take Gittik’s full turn.

Gittik put a good little shocking stripe on her backside; she's still in the fight though.

*ROWWWR!!!*

With a snarl, Claw reaches for the large new arrival, intending to tear her limb from limb.

Attack 1: 11+16+1(haste)+3(bard)=AC 31, damage 19+8+3(bard)=27. Attack 2: 9+16+1(haste)+3(bard)=AC 29, damage 17+8+3(bard)=28. Attack 3: 14+16+1(haste)+3(bard)=AC 34, damage 20+8+3(bard)=31.

The Golem connects one time; she's pretty shifty.

He lands a good blow, but she seems resistant somehow; it's like punching a statue after a fashion.
