Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

Today's been an effing nightmare at work...I'll be with you guys in a few hours maybe, once I am gone of this place.

Heh, Welcome to MY world! ;P It's been a while since I've actually gotten to use an area Dispel, do I need to make one check for each target?

Heh, Welcome to MY world! ;P It's been a while since I've actually gotten to use an area Dispel, do I need to make one check for each target?

[ooc]I looked it up d20 srd; you check on each target in a 20 foot radius spread; from highest level spell to lowest level spell in effect on the target until you dispel one. I guess...um...

So....
1 set for the robed guy
1 set for Gittik's pappy
1 set for the harpy
1 set for the ugly goblin chick
1 set for the goblin with the pig
1 set for the archer and
1 set for the weird hobgoblin...
and I'll figure the results from there.....

Important note: Area dispel only knocks off ONE spell/effect per person. You start with the highest level one and then work your way down until an effect is dispelled; then repeat for each target. Targeted dispel, OTOH, can dispel every effect on a single target.

That's true too.
What's it gonna be, druid duide? ;)

oh, and......looks like the hobgoblin/varag/weirdude is out of the range of an area effect spell doing everybody else, so.....

I presume that at least on the inside of the crescent, the sand gently falls away into the surf, rather than just drops off immediately at a shelf? Like there’s some shallow water to walk through?
Baldan figures that walking on soft sand is going to give away his position, invisible or no, so he’ll walk at the waters edge, if there’s a point where the water is only an or so deep so he won’t displace much water or splash to give his position away, but the sand is firm enough that he won’t leave really noticeable prints.
Maybe about S21 or so.

Yeah; inside the crescent of the sand bar is pretty shallow; your assumption's correct.....the outside it's a dropoff like where killer whales could swim up and snag sea lions off of.

if you want to roll about 4-5 d20's for each guy you want to dispel on, I'll take and go down the list of their buffed spells and see if you knocked them out.

AIR-EE-UH! AIR-EE-UH! AIR-EE-UH! ;P

So....

1 set for the robed guy

1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=18, 1d20+8=15, 1d20+8=18, 1d20+8=17

1 set for Gittik's pappy

1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=26

1 set for the harpy

1d20+8=10, 1d20+8=23, 1d20+8=27, 1d20+8=9, 1d20+8=28

1 set for the ugly goblin chick

1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=19, 1d20+8=15

1 set for the goblin with the pig

1d20+8=10, 1d20+8=20, 1d20+8=23, 1d20+8=27, 1d20+8=28

1 set for the archer and

1d20+8=22, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=20, 1d20+8=26

1 set for the weird hobgoblin...

1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=20, 1d20+8=15, 1d20+8=17

Go for it dude! ;)

The small wild elf shimmers, and turns into a wolf.

Not the cute little lovable ball of teeth and fur that the group is used to him being, but a monstrous, LARGE Dire Wolf with bone spurs sticking out of his thick fur, and huge paw-like claws that tear up the earth as if it were paper.

Elgan-Dire-Wolf throws back his head and HOWLS, and his voice echoes across the sandy beach and slams into the group on the opposite side of the tiny island with almost physical force as the magic takes effect and attempts to strip them of their enchantments,...

Gittik's pappy is unscathed by both fireballs.
The harpy is cooked somewhat.
The archer is dead.
The man in the robes is unscathed.

The ugly goblin lass on the harpy is dead.
The goblin with the pig is dead, along with his pig.
The varag is out of the radius of everything.

Three down aint bad,....

Elgan's able to make it to about e20 after his spellcast.

Looks like Gittik, Pip, Oso up to bat.

"Hey! Gittik! Your friends with the firebombs am pretty tough. Now I am know why you am so successful!!!"

Hey, three dead! That was much, much better than I was hoping for. Of course, the guy I really wanted to cook was the robed punter, and he's completely unhurt...

Elgan's Large now, so he takes up EF 20-21. Also, Altai jogs into the surf once he cast the Fireball - he's in U19 at the end of his turn.

Right on....

"Hey, good for nothing son!!! Me GLAD you kill them, now me not have to pay them!!! Stupid son, finally you am do something right for change."

“Heh, heh.”

"If yuh wanted to win thissss fight, yuh sssshouldn't have brought goblinsss." The fish-man lets out another unhealthy-sounding spasm of phlegmy laughter.

Beldan makes his way carefully through the shallows to H18. Double move

He kicks a stingray up; it shoots off before him. A little one; it isn't an ixitzachitl whosawhatsit.

"If yuh wanted to win thissss fight, yuh sssshouldn't have brought goblinsss." The fish-man lets out another unhealthy-sounding spasm of phlegmy laughter.

"You okay there fish boy? Me am think you am swallow too much chum there."

"Son, you am hang out with some weirdoes."

Dayum. Gittik's pappy shore does run his mouth a lot in 6 damn seconds...

"That OK - me not want to waste time kill them before me get to you."

Flying charge to P7. Roll to hit = 18 + 2 + 13 = 33. Roll to confirm crit = 13 + 2 + 13 = 28. Damage = 4 + 4 + 1 frost = 9, or plus a further 5 for 14 damage if crit is confirmed. Did I get Pip's Haste?

... Did I get Pip's Haste?

That's my first order of business!

"Cutlass clash and pirates fight
Through the day and through the night
Hellwind's crew is in the van
chopping necks as best they can."

After Hasting Gittik, Pip will cast Hideous Laughter on Gittik's dad.

To Gittik's dad:

"Hey, what's worse than a pile of dead goblins?

One at the bottom eating his way free!"

"That OK - me not want to waste time kill them before me get to you."

Yes; you had time to at that, in the precombat buff phase.

"Me not get it."
Tasha's spell doesn't work on him....
Gittik's crit did, though.

Oso's up.
I guess Pip's at N23.

Sorry for the delay.

Oso will cast fly, bulls strength and magic circle vs evil on himself while the insults are flung.

He raises his holy symbol and calls on Kelanen, "cast off all magical protections from that man, My Prince!"

Targetted Dispel Magic at the robed and unhurt figure. Caster level checks for any spells, 10+7=17, 10+7=17, 3+7=10, 3+7=10, 17+7=24.

Oso moves up with the rest to keep some in his circle of protection.

Oso makes it to H 23.

The varag runs up; he gets to e16, 15 feet away from Elgan. He comes around the corner pumping like a greyhound.

The harpy flies up to Oso at O22.

The robed dude fireballs Riese Altai and Pip; reflex save d.c.18 for 28 h.p. in damage.

Gittik's Pappy hacks away at his son with scimitar and kukri.
Gittik takes 17 h.p. damage.

"Now you die, son."

ROUND 2!!!!!

The goblins on the ship are going for buckets to put out fireball-caused fires here and there...

Yes; you had time to at that, in the precombat buff phase.

Haste is one person per level. So I reckon we are all hasted and move an extra 30 foot if needed.

"Heh heh heh.... BLAAAAARGHHH!"

Rage on, spending some points to get the bite attack too. So that 3 attacks with the scimitar, 2 with the kukri and one with the bite. Here we go:

Attack 1 scimitar: 11 + 13 + 1 (Haste) = 25; damage = 2 + 6 + 5 frost = 13
Attack 2 scimitar: 4 + 13 + 1 = 18; damage = 2 + 6 + 1 frost = 9
Attack 3 scimitar (Haste): 20 + 8 + 1 = 29; crit confirm roll = 2 + 8 + 1 = 11 = unlikely; damage = 4 + 6 + 5 frost = 15
Attack 1 kukri: 18 + 13 + 1 = 32; crit confirm roll = 13 + 13 + 1 = 27; damage = 3 + 4 + 5 shock = 12, or 17 if crit is confirmed
Attack 2 kukri: 13 + 8 + 1 = 22; damage = 2 + 4 + 1 shock = 7
Bite: 2 + 13 + 1 = 16 = unlikely.

I didn't realize that so many were hasted when I moved you guys.

Good point re Haste. So Beldan probably made it to H13 in round 1.
Now he takes a 5 foot step to G14 and makes an invisible, ranged sneak attack on the ugly hobgoblin thing. Crossbow attack 1: 14+12 = 26. Damage: 8 + 18 (sneak attack).
Then re-load.

Attacks above. Also, my AC 21 is due to Haste.

Gittik hacks away at his pappy like a waiter on a hunk of meat at a Brazilian steakhouse....he's looking pretty bloodied.

Beldan sinks a bolt in the hobgoblin, which yelps in anger and pain...

"Damn, Gittik. You fight good. You am make your poor old Pap' proud. Good thing, today am good day to die."

Save vs. guilt trip: d.c. 0.

"Nice try, dad, but me put head on stick today."

"Me am suppose...me am have this coming to me.....before me am die, me tell you Gittik....me mighty mighty proud of you. Me think, me not tell you that enough."

it helps, you know; having a father's perspective IRL

"Yeah, dad, that great, mean a lot to me. Now YOU DIE! GRAAAAAHHH!!!"

Oso attacks the harpy before him with the broadsword.

Can move 35 ft and still qualify for a full attack, attack roll 6+13=19, damage 8+6=14pts, and haste attack 18+13=31, Damage=10pts.

"Get him Gittik. That pappy of yours should have looked after you better. he deserves to die. Mine never gave me hugs either."

Missed the Relex save. Ouch!

Fish-Altai paddles towards the north end of the sandbar with unnatural speed. Once he gets close enough to the robed man, he stops and casts a spell. A sinister-looking black ray streaks towards the robed spellcaster, hitting him squarely in the chest.

Moving to X5 - with both Haste and Expeditious retreat, that should be no problem. I then cast Enervation on Robed Guy, who temporarily loses 3 levels (assuming that the ray hit - attack roll 12+7=touch AC 19). He loses his highest memorised spell slot, takes -3 on all his attack rolls etc. and casts spells as if he was 3 levels lower. It only lasts a few hours, but that should be more than enough.

You hit him with the ray; he looks startled for an instant.

*Note to self* mod this guy down 3 levels etc,,etc,, prior to his go.

Oso hacks at the harpy, hitting with both blows. Shes' still up, but bleeding bad.

Pip, Elgan and Riese...

Honestly, I'm not entirely certain how Enervation works out for spellcasters - i.e. let's say he went from level 7 to 4; I'm not sure if he can cast 3rd level spells at all, or if his Fireball spells would just do 4d6 damage. Since the description states that he loses his highest level spell, I'd be inclined to go with the latter interpretation (if he went from level 7 to 4 in all respects, he'd lose a lot more than that).

"Get him Gittik. That pappy of yours should have looked after you better. he deserves to die. Mine never gave me hugs either."

"Meh, him good dad really - make me what me am today."

"Get him Gittik. That pappy of yours should have looked after you better. he deserves to die. Mine never gave me hugs either."

"Hugs? What, you am want me make him sissy-pants? Suppose that am good idea in retrospect."

I got it; it's all in the d20 srd--you lose one spell slot off your highest level available spells.

Looked at "negative level" definition in the SRD; I think I interpret enervation to make you lose one spell slot of highest level remaining per level of loss, so he'll lose 3 slots, 15 h.p., yadda yadda.
