Heathy's Isle of Dread Thread

Game Master Heathansson

Having lulled his opponent into a false sense of confidence, Beldan grits his teeth against the rapier’s scratch and lunges for the kenku’s chest.

Attack # 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 (I don't think Beldan was in haste spell. Because of feint, kenku is denied dex bonus to AC and is thus sneak-attacked.)
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Sneak Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 6, 6) = 21
Have another action to go, depending on result of this attack.

He gets it in the spleen. It's a bleed out slow kill; he's still up.

Fortitude save 10+7=17. For a wizard, Altai's pretty tough, but he can't take too many more of those.

"Gaaaah! You goblin-bred son of a b&#*#! I'll turn your kidneys into cast iron and feed them to rust monsters!" Altai's clearly not happy. With a gesture, he disappears from view.

Casting Greater invisibility and getting the hell out of harm's way. I'm casting it defensively, in case my square is threatened. Concentration check 13+17=30. I then move very quietly to O8. Stealth check 15+7=22.

Altai sees behind where he was another kenku, at o2, who looks perplexed, and can't seem to get a bead on him for another swipe with the chain. The wizard is able to see; he's able to stumble off into the crowd of hanging rotten meat. His face stings bad from the battering of the chain, and it feels cold where shadow assaulted him not moments before.....

Beldan's completion of his action is left, as well as everybody else's turn.....

Beldan's completion of his action is left, as well as everybody else's turn.....

Also, Beldan's hasted, so he gets an extra attack.

heh heh....

If the dude’s still standing, and Beldan is hasted, may as well take a full attack action on him.
Attack # 2: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 1 = 34 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Attack # 3: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 = 25 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Crit confirmation #1: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 1 = 16, Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Crit confirmation #2: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18, Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

EDIT: Stupid editing for crit confirmation. Stuffed up the rolls ... trying to sort it out ... alright, that's it I think.

Both hit,
neither crit,
though his body soon must quit.
Beldan skewers the squawking kenku twice more; the lion's breath is upon the hapless rook.

Beldan has Bleeding Attack and Crippling Strike rogue talents. Crippling Strike means the dude takes 2 points of strength damage from my sneak attack. Bleeding attack means that on his turn (and every round until he stops the bleeding) he takes 5 points of bleed damage.

He'll be dead soon......

You mean once Elgan's mega-lion eats him?

ayyup...

Uber-lion leaps to the attack! Bite, claw X2

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 171d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 151d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Elgan Dire-wolf leaps upon the one that tried to chain-whip his spell-casting buddy! (+1 att from Haste!)

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 131d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 251d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Bite, Claw X2, extra bite

The lion for his efforts comes up with naught but a mouthful of feathers, and never lands a solid blow on the bleeding kenku.

Elgan, however, is more fortunate; he hits with a claw and a horrible bite, causing his foe much pain......

Gittik; Oso; Pip up to bat.

Spore damage last round 1d4 ⇒ 3, oooh the pain. Same again on the vrock Oso hit before first and then the other.

Use Improved Crit Feat this round and hit him thrice with Power Attack again. Continue to rage.

Osos slashes upwards underhand with the bastard sword aiming to slice up between the demon's legs.

Must remember Pip's bardic bonus. Hasted attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17, Damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19, now main attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33, Damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 and then the secondary attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14, Damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

The quickened attack the vrock is ready for but when the sword comes up again, it could be critical. To confirm the main attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27, Damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

RH kukri 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
RH kukri 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
RH kukri 3 (haste): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 , crit confirm roll 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25, extra damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
LH kukri 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30, damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 electricity
LH kukri 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18, damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 plus 1d6 ⇒ 5 electricity

Oso's first attack misses, but his second, the critical, beheads the vrock on the ground.
His "secondary attack" misses the airborne demon above the (now) headless one.

Gittik crits the airborne vrock; chops it's leg much of the way off, and is rained upon with ochre oozing bloody spray. He hit the vrock a good three times!

Pip's up to bat!

Pip, seeing the rival bard, aims him bugzapper at him

What is he, a bullywug?

5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4, 4) = 16 Ref save d.c. 15 for 1/2

After shooting he keeps the Holy Cacophany up

"Die! Am I dying?
Kill. Have no fear.
Lie. Live off Lying.
Hell! Hell. IS. Here!"

The bard takes a nasty jolt; his guitar feeds back and catches on fire for a few seconds like Hendrix at Monterey.

The remaining vrock tries to savage Oso.
Oso takes 24 h.p. from a claw and a rear talon.
(still working)

The KENKU bard sings as he casts,
"GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONG!!! OH, GET BACK LOWRET TUH!!!"

And the dire lion poofs back to the Happy Hunting Grounds.

The bleeding duelist bleeds out some more, then stabs at Beldan again;
hit once--if he wasn't so weak it might've been a critical!
Beldan takes 5 h.p. in damage.

Finally, the other kenku fighting Elgan swings his chain around in circles, then points his hand at Elgan. Shadow crystallizes in the air, flowing into a long cord that reaches out to wrap around Elgan's neck from his hand. Elgan takes 20 h.p. damage, though the garrote only lasts a few seconds, and disperses.

group's turn...

A greenish, seething ball of nasty-smelling goo flies out from somewhere among the hanging carcasses and strikes the bard.

Casting Melf's acid arrow at the singing birdman before stepping to M7; thanks to the magic of, well, magic, I stay invisible. Attack roll 12+8+1(haste)=touch AC 21, damage 7 acid. It burns on for 3 more rounds, so he'l have to start making concentration checks to cast any further spells. New stealth check 11+7=18.

After shooting he keeps the Holy Cacophany up

"Die! Am I dying?
Kill. Have no fear.
Lie. Live off Lying.
Hell! Hell. IS. Here!"

That's Metallica's "Disposable Heroes", right? Excellent little tune.

Beldan’s kenku assailant takes 5 points of bleed damage on his turn. Beldan presses the attack, boosted by Altai’s haste spell.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21. Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20. Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Attack 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28. Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Crit confirm for attack 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12. Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The bard takes the acid arrow, and his skin starts to smoke; his singing starts to sound like Steven Tyler's shriekings.

Beldan's foe goes down finally. The multiple stab wounds finally prove to be too much.

Elgan; Gittik; Oso; Pip left to attack, not necessarily in that order. Aaaah.....what a nice nap I just took.

Is legless vrock still alive or now part of the decor? Oso is looking for a suitable target.

Elgan is angered by the curt dismissal of his Feline Dire Pal. Buut his roar of anger is cut off by the shadowy garrote that encircles his neck, turning his roar into a squeak. That HURT btw! thanks the powers for Bear's Endurance! ;)

Elgan's turns back slowly to stare at the offending Avian caster. He curls his Dire Lip up into a snarl. His eyes turn blood red, and the avian sees death in those eyes. His, presumably.

With a roar Elgan Dire-critter leaps into the air and almost lands on the caster, teeth and paws flying,...

Bite, 2 X Paws, extra bite from Haste, in that order,...

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 211d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 111d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Is legless vrock still alive or now part of the decor? Oso is looking for a suitable target.

It's still around - it just got nicked by Gittik.

Heathy - is the chain-swinger casting spells, or is he creating havoc with his weapon?

Is legless vrock still alive or now part of the decor? Oso is looking for a suitable target.

Yeah; there's one vrock left; he's airborne, in Oso and Gittik's face.

With a roar Elgan Dire-critter leaps into the air and almost lands on the caster, teeth and paws flying,...

Bite, 2 X Paws, extra bite from Haste, in that order,...

1d20+12; 1d8+10; 1d20+8; 1d6+10; 1d20+8; 1d6+10; 1d20+12; 1d8+10

One viscious claw, and one bite find bone and sinew and blood; the kenku with the chain still stands.

Gittik; Oso; Pip are up to bat!

Spore damage this round 1d4 ⇒ 2, those are beginning to dig in. On the flying vrock, Oso aims for his other leg and the thigh artery for the kill.

Use Improved Crit Feat this round and hit him thrice with Power Attack again. Continue to rage.

Round 4 or 5 of Pip's bardic bonus. Hasted attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34, damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22, now main attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32, damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 and then the secondary attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11, damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Confirmations on the first two attacks which may be crits, hasted attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23, damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22, now main attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31, damage 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

"Come down here and fight like a man."

Pip keeps the Holy Cacophany up, and hits bird bard with another lightning bolt

5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 2, 6) = 16

"Bye bye birdie
We're gonna miss you so ..."

Oso slices twice; first the other leg goes off, then he gouges the sword up into it's abdomen, and the contents of it's abdominal cavity sluice out everywhere; the bird demon flops to the ground, steaming and destroyed.

The rook bard takes a hard jolt from the lightning volt, but keeps on rocking.

"HIGH VOLTAGE!!!"

and then there was Gittik...

Huzzah! Man, Oso's a beast.

I know, right?

Any way to figure out how to stop the spores' itchiness? Knowledge (planes (as they come from an extraplanar creature - Oso's probably our go-to guy if Heal is the appropriate skill)) 9+23=32.

they do 1d4 hp for ten rounds. Bless, holy water, or any affect that removes or provides immunity to disease halts the attack form.

Is there anything in reach?

If you take a 5' step to N3 you can unload on the kenku chain-swinger in O2 with a full attack sequence. If you want to move, the other kenku is at H7.

N3 it is.

RH kukri 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
RH kukri 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
RH kukri 3 (haste): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27, damage 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
LH kukri 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20, damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 plus 1d6 ⇒ 5 electricity
LH kukri 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35, damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 plus1d6 ⇒ 5 electricity, crit confirm 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26, extra damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 if confirmed

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH"

Meh...what th' hell.
The kenku with the chain goes down, shocked, dismembered, beheaded, disembowelled, shocked some more; Gittik is dancing greased goatshit and lightning, and tars and feathers his own damn self in the spraying sangre and bile from the shredded crowman.
Batter him up; it's fingerlicking good. Kentucky Fried Kenku.

The bard kenku's guitar string breaks, and he yields.

End of combat.

Experience points
6,100 each.

I'll prop out the loot tomorrow; I gotta crash.

The bard says, "please don't hurt me......I'll do anything you want; just don't sex me up. I no likes sexing up to the pinkskins."

I gotta seriously crash.

The bard says, "please don't hurt me......I'll do anything you want; just don't sex me up. I no likes sexing up to the pinkskins."

"Heh, me always feel horny after fight."

Huzzah! Man, Oso's a beast.

Not compared to Stiggy, although righteous might may even things up a bit. Until we enlarge him anyway.

"You always horny. Like a rhino on heat."

"Do they have pygmy rhinos?"

"Oh, absolutely! In the eastern Amedio Jungle there are many [blah blah blah]. Now, in cold climates, the tendency is for animals to grow bigger, so [blah blah blah]..." Altai happily yammers away as he pokes around the fallen foes.

I'll fire up a Detect magic and then do a field identification round. With Altai's Spellcraft skill (+23!), I should be able to figure out he magical properties of just about anything.

"Why you keep say [blah blah blah]?"

"It's to ascertain who's paying attention, Gittik. Clearly, you were."

"Maybe me stop pay attention, you keep talk sh!t."

“Huh? Oh, yeah, interesting…” Beldan stopped listening a while ago and has moved onto searching the corpses. Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Loot:

+2 rapier
+2 chain shirt
+2 buckler
1,500 g.p.
(currently on the kenku bard that doesn't want you to sex him/her; don't know if you want to rob him/her, but it's yours if you do.)

two dead kenku:
+2 mithril shirt
+2 ring of protection
+2 rapier
+1 mithril shirt
+2 spiked chain
3,000 g.p.

dead Pope of Pazuzu:
+2 breastplate
+2 great sword
wand of cure serious wounds (3d8+8) 30 charges left
3 potions of flying
6,000 g.p.

the vrocks didn't appear to have any personal affects.

Stiggy:

you wake up.
you are in a 10 foot wide, 15 foot long cell. No window. One door.
You are lieing in a manger of filthy hay.
You remember going out carousing one night, then....???
