Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

2 half orcs left. 3 denizens of Leng left.

One half orc full attacks Emrael. The other moves up and gets one attack on her.

She's hit once, critically, with a great axe. She takes 57 hp in damage.
He's laughing at the wound he caused; "Ha ha! It's been too long since I made a elf bleed!!!"

D1 attacksSatari.

He bites the monk, and he does 8 hp damage, and unless Satari makes a d26 fort save he loses 5 dex points.

The other two move off;

they both fireball and hit Elgan, Gjetost, Altai, Claw, Evindra, Pip,....i.e. everybody but Dok, Em, and Satari.

Two dc20 reflex saves for half damage; 20 hp for one firebal, 18 hp for the other one.

An eerie creature comes down the gangplank; large sized.
It looks like a massive pasty death pallored frog, with no eyes, and a face comprised of too many pink tentacles.

Group's attack....

The 'denizens from the camp (i.e. green colored) don't attack either the party or the newcomers at this juncture. They just stand there, seemingly confused that this is happening.

map!

Still wrapping my head around this combo. She has a dancing sword and a non-dancing sword in hand. Loosing a dancing sword to attack on its own is a standard action, so she cannot also attack with the non-dancing sword and she cannot cast most of her spells. Does the dancing sword get a full attack or just a single attack?

I will hold off on attempting Satari's Fortitude save or attack in case he returns before the end of the round.

It uses your bab; so it gets a full attack; gets one from the first round you loose it.

huzzzah!

Yeah, I specifically meant for this first round. Ugh. In that case...

Emrael says a word and opens the hand holding DemonRazor. The sword leaps to strike the half-orc that struck the kensai with his axe.

Dancing attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 24 Feats and abilities don't count, so that's just BAB + magic + holy enhancement
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 + (2, 1) = 14 The 2 + 2d6 is from the holy property in case you need to drop that because it's not evil.

With a smirk and a wink, the elven kensai steps back from the half-orc to Q19, her animated katana staying near, beckoning the half-orc to follow.

The dancing sword can full attack; the first attack is a hit. It's still alive....
err,....I guess one attack's good, seeing as it moves along with you.

(that's the first damage that particular halforc has taken)....

Dancing swords is effin' confusing.

"I hate fire!!!"

It uses your bab; so it gets a full attack; gets one from the first round you loose it.

So your 'one' meant it gets a full attack as opposed to it gets one attack... I thought it was the other way, so I read my answer into your words. Umm... Nah, I'll let the action stand.

Right on.
I would've allowed a full, but since you moved, a standard attack makes sense to me I reckon.

Sorry for the confusion.

This dancing sword deal confuses me for some reason.

back in an hour

I'm trying to figure out if it's really worth a +4 magic enhancement if none of my abilities or feats apply. It's a fairly significant nerf to my attack and damage (+7 to each) - I am focused on the weapon, but at this level, a fighter would be in the same boat. I think the confusion is shared by a lot of other people based on my research on the matter.

I know; I just feel that WOOHOO! DOUBLE ATTACKS!!! can't possibly be what they meant for the ability; if it was, then like everything might as well just have 5 hit points. That's my "gut reaction;" and I'll modify it if I feel like I was wrong. I am watching this combat's proceedings though; may modify stuff if it seems too gimpy.

Anyway, I gota go to Walmart.

Yeah; I'm starting to get the feel of it.
But, the move you did....you would've gotten one whopping attack had you done so i.e. cut then move away; I think with double the attacks, and hence double the possible crits, that's some bodaciosity right there. And if this thing can cleave as well as you,..........

Anyway, two of them green colored "denizens of Leng" next to Elgantree skeedaddled; they didn't enjoy the closeness to combat and whatnot.

Elgantree shudders under the fireball assault.

I Hate Fire too! He bellows.

Save 1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Save 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Both saves made, (YAY!) so half damage, also, in treeform Elgan gets Dmg Red 5/slashing, so he knocks that off too,... so 7 & 5 points, 12 total damage.

Elgantree shudders, knocking off a few cinders and burning leaves, but not looking too terribly burnt.

DAAT DEH BEST YUU GOT???

DR doesn't confer resistance to energy types; that'd be "fire resistance," or the like.
It's just for weapon types (slashing/blunt) or materials (magic/silver) like if I hit something with DR 5/slashing with a morningstar _+1 flaming burst, it would get 5 dr vs the morningstar's bludgeoning damage, but not the 1d6 fire damage.

huzzzar!

the "creature" that came down the gangplank;

apparently by "Cacodaemonia," on Deviantart.

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 191d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Pip looks up from his bow and sees a firey mass winging towards his position.

"Incoming!!!!" He yells over the singing of his stationary sword

He ducks and rolls, just barely getting out of the way of one flaming explosion when a second one catches him square in the face.

"Urk" He gurgles as his two-day beard scruff crisps off his face

Ah nuts. I knew it was too goo dto be true! (And shows you how long it's been since I had a PC with either to deal with!) ;P

I'll update the damage.

Were they within 15' of Elgan or Gjetost? If so, AoO's apply. Also, Gjetost has SR 20.

"You must run father than that if you wish to survive this skirmish!" With a laugh, Gjetost sets off after the retreating leng guys.

Move to AA/AC 21-23 before attacking D4. Attack roll 15+29-4(power attack)=AC 40, confirm roll 9+29-4=AC 34, damage 3d8+23+12(power attack)=45x2=90. Do we use the massive damage rules?

They weren't really fighting you all; they were at the camp.

I haven't used them yet;......

the asgardian stone giant is amazed that D4 is still standing after unleashing on the Lengite. They're pretty tough.

So,.....Pip, Dok, Elgan, Altai, Satari (and this or that summoned/golem/whatnot) left to attack.

2 slam attacks:

1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 261d8 + 17 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 17 + (4) + (3) + (1) = 261d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 271d8 + 17 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 17 + (4) + (5) + (6) = 38

ELgantree's leafy head bobs a little as he beats a percussive accompaniment to Pip's playing,...

Elgan moves a little, and smashes half orc 5, much to Emrael's relief.

one more down......

Huzzzah!

nitey nite!!!

Dok thwips some arrows (employing Manyshot and Rapid Shot) at D4, in the hopes of pin-cushioning him/it into the grave...

First attack: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Second arrow: 1d20 + 15 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Third arrow: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Fourth arrow: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 3 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Ah - I thought the leng guys running were from the ship... I'll post my turn when I get home from work.

Almost forgot - Gjetost has the nasty feat Bleeding Critical; the lengster bleeds 2d6=9 hit points per round from now on. Good luck casting more spells with that gusher...

First attack: 1d20+20+3

Dok hits him all four times; he's not quite dead though.

Pip coughs a bit, his face looking like a chimney sweeps

"Ok now I'm pissed"

Bow Attacks (farther than 30'/all feats/Inspire courage/Haste/+2bow/+3arrows):

Additional damage for Manyshot: 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Elgantree looks up curiously at the sound of the whistling wind. Then he realizes it's the sound of a swarm of arrows launched by Dok & Pip.

"Iz rainin' arrows!" He rumbles with a wooden chuckle that shakes loose a few leaves.

Pip hits one of the fireballers, i.e. DL2 twice; the denizen hisses at him through his veils.

"I used to be an adventurer,......til I took an arrow to the tree...."

Altai, Satari, and Claw are up to bat.
