Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

Claw bursts his metallic womb; Gjetost goes over, yanks Altai out of the tarpit as such, and walks back out;
Hnoss goes to the wall with Stiggy.

Elgan's got a move coming to him; somebody want to position him?.....

MAP

Elgan, still in tree form, jogs in through the door recently opened by Beldan.

He's in LM 6-7.

map

back in a few minutes.....

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

4 erinyes appear in the main room.

1 shoots arrows at Stiggy;
misses all three.

another shoots at Hnoss;
hits her once, for 15 h.p.

another shoots at Altai;
hits him once, for 13 h.p.

another shoots Gjetost;
misses all three times.

Group's attack!

And as Elgan enters the upper room,...the little bird in the cage says "hello, tree dude!" in animal chitchat.

Elgan's leaves rustle as he responds to the bird in kind,...

'Hello little friend. What are you doing in there? Did the bad old gnome put you in there? I shall have to chastise him. Just a moment, and I shall set you free from that cage. You don't happen to know where the little man went, do you?'

Beldan’s hiding (got a 38 on stealth last turn and hasn’t moved since then), so he’ll attempt to ranged sneak attack erinyes 3 if she is within 30 feet once he five foot steps to M10 and it doesn’t appear that she’s noticed him (are they flying or on the ground?)
Full sneak attack with rapid reload and haste:
1: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 plus sneak attack: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3) = 25 plus electricity 1d6 ⇒ 5
2: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 plus sneak attack: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4) = 20 plus electricity 1d6 ⇒ 5
3: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 plus sneak attack: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 6, 5, 2, 1) = 24 plus electricity 1d6 ⇒ 5
Additionally, first successful sneak attack does 7 points of bleed damage and 2 strength damage.

IF on the other hand Beldan doesn’t think he can get sneak damage because they’ve obviously seen him or 3 is too far away, he’ll do something else …

e3 is in range for sneaksy attackins.

Beldan sticks three arrows in her head and she hits the dust, totally worked.

HUZZAH!!!

"I live here. 3 squares and a cot; it's not so bad. Yeah, he's a nice guy though; scratches my head for me. I don't know where he is; are you a friend of his? My name's Chico."

Heath, if it makes any difference one of Beldan’s arrows must have missed – I rolled a one on the second attack roll.

Right on,....erinyes 3......she's still alive, but she doesn't look so good....

"I live here. 3 squares and a cot; it's not so bad. Yeah, he's a nice guy though; scratches my head for me. I don't know where he is; are you a friend of his? My name's Chico."

'Hello Chico! A most pleasant greeting to you my little friend. I am glad he treats you kindly, even if he does keep you in a cage. Um,... we are , acquaintances. But we are having a disagreement at the moment. Hopefully we shall resolve it soon and we can all be on our way. Here, let me let you out little one. You can travel in my branches if you wish.'

"Hey! I like this! My own mobile tree!"
he hops into a hair branch.

'Careful! That tickles!' Elgan says as the little bird gets settled in what is actually his hair.

Am I in the same room as the erienes? Sorry, RL has me a little distracted. ;P

Naah; you cruised through the north door.....

Awesome. ;P (And the druid is absolutely NO help!) ;P Then I take a gander around this room, until the noise from the fight gets too loud to ignore,... :)

perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Any way for Gjetost and/or Claw to jump up and drag a bird-lady out of the air?

Altai runs along the field of writhing tentacles, careful to not get dragged back into it. Once he reaches his spot, he turns and blasts the erinyes with incandescent rays of magical light.

Move to U16 - with Haste and Boots of striding and springing, I have that kind of mobility. I then cast Prismatic spray towards the C3 square. I hit all the devils - Heathy can roll the effects. SR checks, if needed, are (1d20+13)= 25, 24, 25 and 23.

they're on the ground....so yes. But they don't have to jump.

perception: 1d20+18

Nothing much of interest at all...

e 1 1d8 ⇒ 7

e1 and e3 disappear.

e2 is a statue.

e4 doesn't seem bothered by the fire.

Gjetost, Claw, and Stiggy...

The big lugs home in on the remaining devil-woman like piranhas chasing a bleeding water-rat.

Gjetost charges to PQ 16-17, attacking with 3-point Power Attack.
Attack roll 10+21+3(bard)+1(haste)+2(charge)-3(PA)=AC 34. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)+9(PA)=40.

Claw moves to ST 16-17. Attack roll 13+16=AC 29, damage 3d8+8=23.

Stig and Pip stay put for now.

They both hit, but the erinyes survives.

Hnoss waits for Stigg; do they still want to hold back?

Bah! I was hoping it was the one Beldan poked full of holes, but no. Stupid erinyes.

Oh, and since neither Stig nor Hnoss can reach it this round, they both stay put.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 more appear.

map

Two fire on Stiggy. He's hit twice, for 27 h.p. damage.

The other three fire on Gjetost.
He's hit once, for 15 h.p.

Group's up.

Stigg is 93 h.p. down, then Hnoss lay on hands him. He's 5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 2, 5) = 19 only 74 h.p. down now.

This is getting annoying. Any chance of hearing where our derro friend is?

Stig, Pip, Altai and the big boys will delay until we see if Beldan can knock off the last "old" erinyes.

perception rolls;

(lol) yeah...when I kinda envisioned the fight, I kinda didn't envision each round taking a week....owell.

Perception Altai 11+8=19. Perception Gjetost 13+12=25. Perception Pip 12+21=33. Perception Stig 8+0=8. Perception Claw 9-1=8.

We're playing to his strengths right now, not pressuring him in melee and letting him summon loads of disposable heavies. We'll get our heads handed to us if we keep this silliness up.

Gjetost can hear him chanting his spam chant; he's behind the door marked as "x" on the wall between columns x and y.

[ooc] Doubtful as I don't think I'm hidden from them any longer.[ooc]

You're flanking her with Claw, so you'll still get sneak attacks.

Ayyup.

Ok, Beldan will move over to flank, keeping his crossbow held loosely in one hand and drawing his rapier with the other, and attack the devil in melee.
1d20 + 24 ⇒ (5) + 24 = 29 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 7d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (1, 3, 2, 2, 6, 3, 1) + 7 = 30 (including sneak attack and bleed) plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 cold, plus 2 strength.

Beldan almost finishes the erinyes, but not quite. She hisses defiantly.

Elgantree turns slowly, the noise finally reaching through his Treant-reflexes.

'Hold on my miniscule friend. I do believe that my companions have gone and gotten themselves involved in a brouhahah. Again. I should see if I can assist.'

Elgan shuffles (double-move) back to the doorway to the big room. He takes in the picture, and slowly nods, looking wise.

'X marks the spot my diminutive friend! Into the fray!'

BTW, Just letting everyone know. This week snuck up on me, and it's going to be BUSY. Very good chance of no communication on most days through Sunday. Sorry. I'll try to keep up with reading, but posting will be minimal. Thanks.

right on...

Claw slugs the wobbly erinyes twice in the back of the head.

Attack 1: 11+16+2(flank)=AC 29, damage 3d8+8=19. Attack 2: 10+16+2(flank)=AC 28, damage 3d8+8=20.

Pip moves to X21 and kicks open the door the dwarf wizard is hiding behind.

Gjetost then charges in, attacking with 3-point Power Attack.
Attack roll 15!+21+3(bard)+1(haste)+2(charge)-3(PA)-4(nonlethal damage)=AC 34, confirm roll 9+21+1+2-3-4=AC 26. Subdual damage 2d8+18+3(bard)+9(PA)=37x2=74.

Altai casts a spell in the direction of the new erinyes. Suddenly, the floor sprouts grasping tentacles, seizing the infernal archers and pulling them down.

I know that spell too... Evard's black tentacles centered in LM 23-24, grabbing the five newcomers. Attack roll 12+13(my CL)+4(tentacle STR)+1(tentacle size)+1(haste)=AC 31, damage 9. If that hits the devils' AC, they are grappled; the CMD for getting loose is 29.

He drops her.

74? that's all?

Gjetost punts the little fragger up against the wall like a football, and he slops to the ground in a heap.

End. Of. Combat.

Stuff....forthcoming.

Five erinyes devils. At your mercy.

30,000 exp each.
