Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

Elgan, Beldan, and Vilya up to bat.....the thing's looking nice and battered all to hell.

Once he’s hasted, Beldan will use the cloak of the bat, his increased movement and his fast stealth ability 1d20 + 33 to fly to the roof of the building at P3, flying around the ravaged building and the golem’s reach. Once there he will load his crossbow as a free action and get ready to sneak attack next round.

Beldan spefically did not move in until a haste spell had been laid down.

The Dungeonmaster's feeling kooky.

Beldan and Vilya are now, for some reason, in the range of the haste spell!!!

sorry; musta been mush headed at that time. I just assumed the haste spell had happened I reckon.

It’s cool.

SPLUGORTH!!!

Sorry; Rifts flashback, wot wot. ;)

huzzah!!!

The sneaksy girl misses.

The golem retorts, and swings its massive tulwar at the suckerpuncher.....and Vilya takes 24 hp from stab and 6 hp from fire, in case she's resistant to that element....

Holy s!@*, down from 91 hp to 61 hp in one hit...

GROUP'S ATTACK!!!

Bel; Vilya; you can prolly go at any time, seeing as you'll get an attack before the golem anyhowse.

Fffffff... Vilya's kind of a one-trick pony in combat. Still, one can always try.

Staggering back from the heavy blow, blood running from a nasty, partially cauterized gash in her thigh, Vilya attacks again, more viciously this time, her axe and knife striking inward like a pair of shears.

+1 keen handaxe (sneak attack): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24; damage (if applicable): 5d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 2, 3) + 2 = 17
+1 blurstrike kukri (vital strike): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30; damage (if applicable): 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

yeah; it's kinda 13th levelly in here....plus it's hard to get a creature that can challenge a whole s#@@load of 13th level duods that doesn't just churn out damage...

again, she can't seem to penetrate its defenses....

Beldan's up.....

Beldan discards his crossbow; flies down with his cloak, trying to evade any incoming swipes from the golem Acrobatics: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (12) + 27 = 39 – land in O8.

Drawing his rapier as he goes, Beldan tries to stab it into any joints in the giant’s plating. Rapier attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 7d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (5, 6, 2, 1, 6, 5, 1) = 36

bel hits right good, tearing into gears in the vital kinks in the armor, and takes 2 h.p. damage from the heat.

ELGAAAAAN!

oh......map updated....

Huzzah! I purposely left you some room on the frontline. Don't forget your bonuses from haste and bardic music!

And I forgot I was enlarged.Next round...

Huzzah! I figured he's up under JGG's thigh, because Stiggy's kinda short and all, so.....

elgan....

After the summoning and rhino charge, Pip readies his bow

Gimmie a shout when I can take some potshots. I will be in and out this weekend. My sword is keeping the beat, everyone remember their +3 bonusus (boni?) to ATK/DAM/CHARM/FEAR

Pip whoops as the wooly rhino gets in a good solid hit

"Go gettim Tundro!"

The sword's crystaline voice warbles on

"Soon he'll be just scrap,
Big brass Golem can't kill crap!
Clockwork fire gimp,
Whoever made it is a wimp."

Right on; Elgan's up, then the brass balls golem; then it's the party again....

Huzzah!!!!

<Stig drains his vodka mug...>

Wow. Just. Wow. that's a LOT of damage being thrown around up there! My lil' druid is feeling particularly outclassed. (Oris that just me?) ;P Been crazy busy this weekend, catching up as best I can,...

Elgan watches the Charge of the Large Brigade, smiling as they all try to collide with the giant golem at once. But when his stony, vine covered pal gets his vines set on fire, he looks decidedly put out.

"Ah don' mind a nahce fiyuh. But leave mah freens alone!" The elf shouts, unheard over the cacophony of the giants tearing into each other.

"Lez see if'n we cahnt col yeh off sum,..." He mutters, throwing his arms up and crying to the sky in a voice that sounds like rolling thunder,...

I want to drop an Ice storm on his brass b#tt. But it's 40' across, I don't mind taking out a building, but I didn't want to hit the steealthers. (heh. Mis-type, but it works) :) IS there an area I can target that wn't take them out? Or do we rely on their dodge to avoid any dmg?

Ice storm dmg if castable: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 2, 3) = 16

The druid then scoots sideways, taking cover with Altai behind the building.

The ice storm doesn't seem to stop the thing, but it does seem slower....

map updated

Golem.

First attack, squares H-K 10-13 are blasted by a cloud of burning embers and smoke from the thing's inner workings;
rhino, JGG, and Stigg take 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 4) = 13 per round in the cloud, and save d.c. 23 fort or be blinded.

THEN,
It wails on Stiggy with it's sword.....

It hits Stiggy and does 31 h.p. slashing and 2 h.p. fire damage.

A cacophony of loud steam whistles goes off in its head; no affect but it is loud as all get out......

group's attack!

Full hasted sneak attack with rapier:
Attack 1: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 3, 2) = 28
Attack 2: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (4, 5, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2) = 28
Attack 3: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 7d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (1, 4, 5, 6, 4, 6, 2) = 33

possible crit with that last one if 33 hits: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

So attack 3 is a total of 42 points of damage if 33 hits.

Bel's able to stab it twice....(the crit hit!)
and it's really looking bad....its engines are juddering horribly, and purple pungent viscous fluid is sprating everywhere....

Munchtime! None of the beasts move

Wooly rhino. Attack 1: 12+14+3(bard)+1(haste)+2 (flank w/Vilya)=AC 32, damage 2d8+13 +3(bard)= 23. Attack 2 (from Haste): 10+14+3(bard)+1(haste)+2 (flank)=AC 30, damage 2d8+13 +3(bard)= 21.

Überbeetle. Attack 1: 13+19+3+1-3(Power Attack)+2 (flank w/Beldan)=AC 35, damage 2d10+15+12(Power Attack)+3 (bard)=40. Attack 2 (from Haste): 11+19+3+1-3(Power Attack)+2 (flank w/Beldan)=AC 33, damage 2d10+15+12(Power Attack)+3 (bard)=42

JGG has three attacks... So before I do the math, is the golem still standing?

It explodes, for
10d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 3, 7, 6, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6) = 51 in fire damage to Beldan, rhino, JGG, Stigg, Beetls, and Vilya; d.c. 23 reflex save for 1/2 or zero if you're a rogue like Bel and Vilya.

rhino 1d20 ⇒ 13
JGG 1d20 ⇒ 19
Beetle 1d20 ⇒ 4

JGG's at 108 h.p.
rhino's at dead
Beetle's at 50 h.p. (triceratops, right?...)

need saves for the aforementioned blasted fellows.

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Beldan dances away from the oncoming flame as the golem explodes.

Huzzah! he ducks up under the worst of it.....

... and Stigg take 4d6 per round in the cloud, and save d.c. 23 fort or be blinded.

THEN,
It wails on Stiggy with it's sword.....

Fort 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

Hits down 46. I am blinded. Can't attack?

right on.....nothing to attack atm....

somebody wanna roll Vilya's ref save; Shiny's been afk since Thursday by my reckonin.

Vilya Reflex save 13+11+1(haste)=25, so she dives out of the way of the cloud of plasma and brass golem shrapnel.

And, yes, the beetle's a triceratops.

*whew*

Okay.
Not off of rounds.
So, whoever hasn't attacked yet this round gets to do whatever 1 round worth of actions.
Then, everybody gets another round's worth of actions.

THEN,....
perception roll, and stealth roll if you're feeling stealthy......
aye, you're a salty lot, each of you the veteran of scores of battles, dances on the edge of doom,.....something primal in your souls, mixed with the very essence of Ysgard and a few unwinding threads from the Fatespinners' wheels all combines to tell's you that this ain't over yet......

So I guess that's Stiggy, Vilya, Elgan, Altai, JGG, Gjetost, Pip, and Claw that haven't done anything yet THIS round. (correct me if I'm missing somebody)

“Whew,” Beldan blows on his singed hands and checks to make sure his hair and eyebrows are intact. “Glad that’s over with absolutely no further ramifications or dangers ...”

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33, Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (1) + 33 = 34

MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

and nitey nite!

perception 1d20 ⇒ 5

You see a busted grog bottle. With some grog still in it.

You see a busted grog bottle. With some grog still in it. And detritus.....

Perception Gjetost 16+12=28. Perception Altai 7+8=15.

You see a busted grog bottle. With some grog still in it.

<Elbows Beldan.>

"Grog. A bloke coods miss 'at scooby, eh? Someain 'as bin partyin'."

Perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
Stealth: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (3) + 27 = 30

Rather low for the Pipster

The plasma shockwave whooshes by Pip

"Holy Schnikies!"

*whew*

Okay.
Not off of rounds.

Delay action.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

<Wiping the last of the embers from his eyes, Stig picks the grog up as if studying some key evidence. When nobody is looking he drinks it.>

“Yeah, better keep an eye on it Stig ... could be an important clue ...”

Beldan: Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33, Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (1) + 33 = 34
Stiggy; perception 1d20 ⇒ 5

Pip......Perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
Stealth: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (3) + 27 = 30
Vilya......Delay action.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
Need Elgan, (I guess Claw just says "duuuuuh...." and JGG.....

Anybody wanna do anything, that's fine too.

HUZZAH!!!

“Yeah, better keep an eye on it Stig ... could be an important clue ...”

<Beldan catches Stig just as he's sneaking the Grog. With a guilty look...>

"Yah that's whit Ah jist said. Waur ye nae listenin'? Tay mony hits tae th' heed, Beldan, tay mony hits tae th' heed."

<Stig waddles off and secretly drains the dregs of the gutter grog.>
