I never run those either; I liked the one where they're going across the tundra with dogsleds though....that one stuck in my mind. That and the cover. I love chraal.

Stiggy's foe smashes him, hitting once for 20 h.p. bludgeoning, and 4 h.p. cold damage.

Gjetost's opponent smashes the giant twice, 48 h.p. bludgeoning, and 7 h.p. cold damage.

Elgan's foe shifts 10 feet, Elgan gets an aoo but it's out of the scirocco and in kl 7-8 now;
it swipes Elgan with the club, missing.

the one in the sirocco at hi 2-3 runs out to the west; Hnoss scores an aoo on it, and it's....out of sight.

Then Stiggy and Hnoss get hit by a breath weapon of cold from the now unseen chraal...they each take 23 h.p. damage, reflex save d.c. 23 for half.

Groups attack!

I think my first Dungeon is #82 or something like that. So I just missed that one. Good looking cover, though.

I got that one; I think at that time every adventure had to have at least ONE succubus in it.

huzzah!!!

Claw slowly pulls himself off the ground.

Sloooooow...

Gjetost unloads on the odd ice-thing in front of him.

While these guys are probably evil, do their attacks count as Evil?

Attack 1: 11+19+1(haste)-3(power attack)=AC 28, damage 9+16+9(power attack)=34. Attack 2: 12+14+1-3=AC 24, damage 4+16+9=29. Attack 3(bonus from Haste): 13+19+1-3=AC 30, damage 10+16+9=35. If the first attack drops the chraal, he moves to KL 9-10.

They are.....ch'raal.

What do I know about these creatures? And can I see any of them from the (now structurally unsound) dome? I should be able to draw a bead on the one in KL 7-8 through the sirocco, right?

No; their attacks don't count as evil.

Gjetost hits two of his three attacks; the chraal is nearing death, but.....not quite.

Yeah; you can see kl 7-8; he's next to the steaming vortex of desert wind.

They're formed ice elementals, formed when a really evil fogger dies on the elemental plane of air or water, and they love to kill the warm.
They like their summoner if they're allowed to hunt and kill; really sick muffugs.

When they die, they blow up, and it is painful to anybody next to them.....everything else of any note prolly has been gained through interaction with them by blade and fire.

Oh, and apparently they can see just fine in a blizzard;
that's my embellishment, but it made sense, and the combat would not have made sense if they too were snowblind....

Yeah; you can see kl 7-8; he's next to the steaming vortex of desert wind.

Hah! He's getting it with all three barrels! Scorching ray, three rays. Ray 1: Attack roll 11+10+1(haste)=touch AC 22, damage 17 fire. Ray 2: Attack roll 12+10+1(haste)=touch AC 23, damage 18 fire. Ray 3: Attack roll 10+10+1(haste)=touch AC 21, damage 15 fire. No save, but it does get SR.

Three rays is all it takes for Altai to blast the thing into oblivion....ONE DOWN!!!

Stiggy, Elgan, Pip, (Hnoss), Beldan up to bat.

back in an hour...

I posted a Stig song early on. I've been remiss. And I guess I'll have to tone up the gold thing, it's in his bio, though. My thought has always been that Stig is really too smashed and too much of an alcoholic to actaully do something about his inherent dwarven greed. I igure one of the reasons he drinks is because he's a failure at smithing and getting gold... that and his mother.

But yeah, James Jacobs would probably still hate him.

As if Pathfinder doesn't engage in cultural appropriation or stereotyping.... *cough*... Anyway, my feeling was when I made Stig that there's something about playing a Greyhawk campaign that begs for D&D race cliches.

Then Stiggy and Hnoss get hit by a breath weapon of cold from the now unseen chraal...they each take 23 h.p. damage, reflex save d.c. 23 for half.

reflex 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

I think it fits the Xena/Evil Dead vibe of the whole game. If the campiness wasn't there i.e. if the whole thing was run straight faced, I don't think that the epic f+*%ing LULZ and ROFLSAURUS REX'S would be quite as possible.

Am I still engaged with something... alive? Or do I need to move?

Yeah; there's one right in front of ye; there must also be one behind and to the right of that one, seeing as it just blasted you with a cone of ice cold breath weapon.

Go ahead and add in any 5 foot steps needed to keep Stig engaged.

He explodes under the Hammer of the Stig.

20 h.p. piercing; 20 h.p. cold damage; d.c. 20 reflex save for half....
oh; the one that Altai wasted does the same thing to Elgan.

(edit)
Hnoss stays put; amps a jesus bomb to heal herself, Elgan, and Stiggy.

YAY for stoneskin! ;P

The one that Beldan is flanking is still standing right?

Hammer of the Stig.

Ya. That's gonna be the next Elaine Cunningham novel. Yup.

<Brushing shards from his beard.>

"Thanks wifey."

Spoiler:

You head east, into the woods. It's gloomy. Silent.
A quartet of crows appears, landing in branches nearby,....watching you expectantly.
The sun starts disappearing, pulled down by jagged branches clawing it from the sky, sinners grabbing the ankles of the old lady in The Onion.
And it's darkening...in the woods...
wolves howl, and snow starts falling in the twilight.

Quick pop in. Going to be hit or miss the next few days, so just have Pip do his combat support, and feel free to use him as a healbot if neccessary

Pip fires up a morale-boosting song

"Though the weather outside is frightful,
The fire's so delightful,
And as long as we've axe and bow,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow .."

+3 ATK/DAM/CHARM/FEAR

As far as I can tell it is still standing, so …

Unaware of what is going on near the hut, Beldan concentrates on trying to take down the ice creature that he flanks.

Hasted full attack. I’ll assume I can’t hear Pip’s inspire courage song.
# 1: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24, Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 6d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5) = 30

It also takes 6 points of bleed damage if applicable – probably not.

I just blew up that one. There's one fighting Gjetost and one off Stig and Hnoss somewhere. However, you should have enough movement to flank and stab Gjetost's opponent.

Going to be hit or miss myself, starting Saturday until the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Completely lost myself, as usual. Just tell me when I get close enough to hit one (if the one I'm fighting was the same as Altai zapped) I'll double check if you want me too, but with both my Stoneskin & Prot/Energy running, I don't think I've taken any dmg from the dying gasp. (NICE monsters btw, I vaguely remember that cover!) I have a decent collection of Dragon mags. But only a few sporadic Dungeons, usually when they tied into a Dragon mag!

Elgantree hums happily along, in tune with both Pip's frantic playing and the pitch of the storm, as he happily whacks at the walking glacier,...

3X whack-a-cube!

It is Gjetost's opponent I meant, that's the one I was flanking, the one south of the hut.

Elgan cruises over Stiggy's way; Stig points off into the blizzard; Elgan stumbles forward (well he's a tree, so it's not that bad.)

Elgan is at de 6-7. Able to attack once, hit once.

It retorts;

Elgan is throttled twice with the club; 28 h.p. damage and 7 cold damage;

Group's attack!!!

Speaking of the game vibe. How I miss the gay wizard.
