Heathy's Saltmarsh Campaign, II

Man I gotta get Pip a ring of flying

Man I gotta get Pip a ring of flying

I know, right?

3d4 3=13 magic missile the closest.
Accurotni en'forcier dri-ot!

The missiles blast the thing; it's not destroyed yet.

These b%@@~es are tuff.

BELDAN!!!

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of posting over the past few days, haven’t had as much time online as I thought I would.

Can’t quite get my head around the situation, but Beldan will load his crossbow and shoot at the nearest harpy. 16+9 = 25. Damage: 8. On the off-chance that sneak attack is applicable, +10.
He’ll then look about for a place to hide.

Seeing the halfling's rope work, Oso sighs and starts putting the crossbow and bolt away.

"Dat's criminal. I'll fly you, it hurts watching you climb, man." he shakes his head.

That's next round taken care of.

Pip whips around, looking flustered

"Hey man I'm a lover, not a climber. I can't help it if this rope is all twisty like."

Beldan shoots the one on the ground. He can't see anywhere to hide, but there's some pillars in the center of the room...

That one moves to d1, menacing Elgan. It can't attack yet; it's movements are slow, zombielike....

Two more struggle free of entanglement and plop to the ground; at d2(the one the Goodyear Stiggy and Gittik was fighting) and the one at f5.

New round; Oso's gone; he cast fly on Pip.

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Pip flies up to the melee, trying to get in line to sound burst some undead flappers

Where can I set up my AoE sonic goodness where it will do the most damage?

Hovering right outside the door, you can get all three of the ones on the ground with the sound burst. Roll damage; they aren't stunned though......

Pip unslings Lucille and strikes a crunchy power chord. The harsh chord swells in sound, crashing into the undead harpys

Sonic damage: 1d8=4

Sounds like when Jango Fett popped those mines on Obi Wan in Clone Wars......
BWANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!
They all three get spanked by it a little, but they're still up...

Pip starts to bob his head rhythmically, his tousled hair flying in the breeze. His fingers fly across Lucille's frets with frenzied abandon.

Elgan Hawk flaps backwards in the air, keeping a reasonable distance between himself and the undead Harpies that have managed to wiggle free from the entwining branches, and hurls another ball of flame from his claws at the same one as before,...

To hit (Touch Att) 1d20+6=20, Fire Dmg: 1d6+5=10

So, Elgan is in the air, taking 5' flap backwards, produce flame att on same as last time,...

You hit the same one; it's getting cooked slowly like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Elgan's 5 foot step takes him outside, next to Pip...

More climbing - roll 12-1==11. I'm 30' up now.

MIDWAY!!!
Altai:

Everybody notices Altai hauling ass up that rope.

"I'LL FLY YOU." Oso casts upon himself and picks up the halfling, taking him to the fight.

He lands briefly then returns for Altai. "Do you want a lift? Going up."

Bloody flashy bards!

"Hey, as good as that sounds, I'm almost there anyway. Get Riese instead, willya?"

I'm only 5' away from the top, while Riese's still on the ground. After the fight's over, someone needs to get Tenser as well.

"Right, Riese den Tensor. Good luck Altai."

Allright; Pip and Riese are to the left of Beldan; didn't want to drop them off right in front of a harpy...I'll post positions soon.

I was confused; I thought Oso cast fly on Pip; guess I was wrong.

Got it now; Pip's at f2, Riese is at f3.

Looks like Gittik, Stiggy, and Beldan left to go.

Yeah, I have to be more careful the way I say stuff. Should spell it out.

Oso will act as a ferry for the others.

I think it was me; sometimes I get in a hurry.

Oh, and I'm on call tonight and tomorrow, as well as Fri/Sat/Sun; at any time I might have to disappear from the game or whatever for a couple hours...

Beldan hastily reloads and fires again, but his aim is shaky, and in the confused half-darkness he’s not sure if he hit or not. 7+9 = 16. Damage: 7

Beldan hits. There's an arrow in it's chest now. It's not in pain though.

Stiggy and Gittik...

I reckon we gonna keep at the harpy at D2.

I'll do a position update....this is kinda hectic and three dimensional like.

a-f across the top, 1-7 down the side.
Pillars at b4, e3, and e6.

Cave entrance in at f1; door out at d8 at the end of a 5 foot wide indentation/hall.

Three harpys are on the ground, at d1, d2, and f5. Two are entangled 20 feet high at e4 and c5. d2 is the one Gittik and Stiggy were hooming, but now it's on the ground.

Gittik and Stiggy are 15 feet in the air, at e2.
Bel's at f1
Pip's at f2
Riese at f3
Osos' at "f0" as is Elgan pretty much;
Altai's at "f0" five feet below the entrance.

BTW, busy at work the next couple of days. No time till afternoon or evening. If It's a problem, just have Elgan toss more fire, he's got 4 more shots left! Thx

It's all good...

I reckon we gonna keep at the harpy at D2.

They don't seem to be particularly interested in doing aerial combat, so why don't you guys land and hack it out on the ground? We could use Stig's melee attacks. Also, as they are (most probably) zombies, they'll be tough, but easy to hit.

<Stig heads back down to the ground and drops Gittik.>

You're able to descend in the square you're in. No aoo's on you or anything like that, Stiggy; it's a move action and you have an attack.
Are you dropping Gittik in that square, or next to you; e1 and e2 are open. Two foes, in d1 and d2.

if Stig doesn't answer in about 2 hours, to me that means Kruelaid's asleep; ergo we'll roll with things and I'll credit him an attack for next round. It's all good to me.

Gittik is set down by Stiggy in e1; Stiggy takes e2.

The harpys attack--
the one at c5 breaks its bonds, and plops to the floor; the one at e5 is still held fast.

The one at c1 smacks Gittik with a femur bone; 4 dmg.
The one at c2 misses the armored blimp.
And the one at e4 swipes at Riese, but misses the nimble fellow.

NEW ROUND!!!!!

listen d.c. 20

>>MAP<<

I was having spacial issues. Please excuse the crudity.

Listen: 1d20+7=14

Pip hears nothing over the snarl of Lucille

Altai scrambles up the final few feet and looks in through the opening. Seeing the crush of bodies between himself and the enemies, he pulls out his blasting wand and starts firing away.

I'm in G1. Firing at the harpy in D1. Concentration check 7+11=18, attack roll 12+5=touch AC 17, damage 3+2=5. What are these monsters? Knowledge (arcana) 11+14=25, knowledge (nature) 10+8=18, knowledge (religion) 13+8=21.

Also, I blew the listen check.

"Ewwww."

2H PA: 1d20+6=17, 1d10+17=20

2H PA: 1d20+1=10, 1d10+17=25

As near as Altai can tell, these are dead harpies, animated as zombies by wicked magic...

Stiggy's first blow hits; between that and Altai's magic the first one in e1 falls. Stiggy's second blow misses.

"Hey Oso, these are undead harpies! Get them off us!"

Stiggy's first blow hits; between that and Altai's magic the first one in e1 falls. Stiggy's second blow misses.

Cleave. Is there another guy in range? 1d20+6=18, 1d10+17=18

Bam!!! It's a goodly blow indeed, though it doesn't fell her entire. Stiggy cleaves the harpy at d2.

Beldan’s gotten kind of hemmed in. He’ll wait for one of his companions to move and then try to dart through the gaps.

Aww, man,....and on that last cleave attempt, Stiggy busted a nasty ass bomb.

Just checking in, far as I can tell, it's not the new round yet? I luv this game! Just For my info, are we using the standard 'positive energy turn makes undead run away', or the newer 'positive energy turn makes undead go BZZT'?

Run away...or however they travel.
It's a new round.
Stiggy let one.
