Here be dragons! Adventurers keep out! (Inactive)

Game Master Davachido

Min, is there somewhere you are allowed to ask other than yes or no questions? At the minute if you don't, all those answers will be unclear.

"The idea is sound, but that is not a cleaver way to execute it. The enemy would just take out the zombies and if we made the zombies strong enough not to be easily taken down why aren't they fighting. I have another suggestion we make floating disks and put iron domes on them with peep holes or arrow slits. The caster's should be very safe inside and still about to cast out. We might want to research a improved version that is a bit bigger."

ill consider and post my spells when I'm on my home computer and not my phone.

My mistake

The party buffs up in front of the forest, and leer at it menacingly. From the forest the party can hear a trotting horse for about 2 minutes before it sounds like to is arriving towards the group. The sound then suddenly stops but nothing is in sight.

Leonard stands at the forest edge flanked by two red skinned humanoids with barbed tails and wings. He casts a couple of spells.

Sorry, lost this in the process of getting sick. What is Leiara doing now? XD

Leiara was in a meeting with the group, that is still sort of going on in spoiler tags. The group is now infront of Kemanwati forest planning to go in. At the minute it looks like they are buffing up.

Leonard can tell that the canopy is quite thick, there seems to be breaks in it where a stream or water source might be following. Due to the forested not being well traveled the trees have covered quite a lot.

Geography check for min The forest is approximately 250 miles across. There is several streams that go to basins in the forest. The general layout of what's inside has never been recorded as no-one has come out of there alive. Most information has been attained form long range scrying of a bird's eye view or a view from the mountain range to the west.

Question as I'm considering buffs--how much did we heal "overnight"? Our hit dice? To max? Just figuring out how many spells/channels will be used to come back to good HP levels.

To full, I don't think I'll be that harsh and only allow 8hp healing ^^. Consider the milestones as a full reset basically.

Alright, unfortunately Aurelie's buffs are all relatiely short-term, most of them being 1 min./level, so she'll wait to pump those up until it looks like trouble's going to be starting.

Aurelie hides behind her Big Pappy's leg, Kitty at her side. "What's that?" she whispers to the group, pointing at the rough position of the noise's disappearance.

Leiara doesn't seem particularly afraid of the forest. She pats Zoom, who she's brought with her, the big dinosaur tromping along behind them. Seeing that people are all buffing up, she shrugs. Scales crawl across her features, and her eyes go a bit feral and reptilian, coloring similar to that of Zoom's.

The party continues to buff and Smoky leans over from his mount "Sirs and madams, I know that place might be scary but you aren't going to get any answers staying out here. You can take some mounts if you think it'll help" He asks quite sarcastically.

After giving Bill a dirty look Leonard heads into the forest flanked by his two minions.

Perception checks

Leonard 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Kodo 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Podo 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

The eidolon turns its head to Bill for a moment, no emotion visible through the visor. It helps Aurelie up onto its shoulder and moves into the forest, heavy steps pounding the turf.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

I take out my masterwork hearing trumpet and listen.

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

I'm waiting for the shard to cast faire fire on our invisible watcher Don't know what's stoping him. If he doesn't act soon I'll have to do it, but it will take a higher level spell

Old Smoky do we have any idea to about where the sound of the horse was coming from? As Faerie Fire only affects a small space in a 5 ft radius burst.

Perception Pytha-Gora: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Perception Shard: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Shard and Pytha-Gora stare anxiously in the direction of the sound, trying to locate how far away it is from them and where.

If Shard gets a reasonably accurate idea of its position he will cast Faerie Fire there, turning the outline of the figure violet.

A shadow points out something to The shard, he casts Faerie Fire on a creature near him. A unicorn outline appears out of the air and sneezes at the magical dust. It starts to recoil backwards realizing it has been spotted and looks to make a break for it. There is no rider on his back.

I'm actually surprised no-one blasted Old smoky for his insolence :P

The group moves forward looking about and it isn't long before they hear a voice speak out. "Ah, you have returned with allies. Be careful the denizens of the forest know you are here. Be prepared for a fight, I have drawn the guardian's eyes away from you but that shall not last forever."

Consider these two things happen relatively close to each other so you can react to either one.

Leonard is concentrating on the task at hand, but he's making mental notes for when we get back to base.

Upon seeing the outlined unicorn Leonard points for the still invisible Kodo and Podo spring into action.

Flapping their wings they both quickly cover the distance (assuming it's less than 50' otherwise they double move and make these actions the following rounds.)

(remember the Unicorn is flat footed, assuming it can't see invisibility. Additionally it gets a +2 Deflection bonus and +2 saves due to the prot from good aura and being attacked by evil creatures. My imp's are called, not summoned so they can attack despite the prot from good aura.)

Kodo:
Stealth 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (19) + 41 = 60
Sting 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d4 ⇒ 3
Poison (DC:13)(Ex) Poison deals 1d2 ⇒ 2 DEX damage, 1/round for 6 rds, cure 1 save
Podo:
Stealth 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (14) + 41 = 55
Sting 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 211d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Poison (DC:15)(Ex) Poison deals 1d2 ⇒ 2 DEX damage, 1/round for 6 rds, cure 1 save

"Let them come"
initive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
I cast haste on The shard, Leiara, Mister Jingles, the two imps and 2 wraiths.

"Let them come"

I cast haste on The shard, Leiara, Mister Jingles, the two imps and 2 wraiths.

Iniatiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
The Shard vanishes from sight and changes into a Dire Tiger again.

Pytha-Gora guards Min as he cats his spells, assuming his combat trained pose to easily grab the nearest creature that comes close.

Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

For simplicity sake i'd like the imps to just go on my initiative. One has a slightly faster initiative (+7) and the other a slightly slower (+3)

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
"Unicorns are immune to poison and they can greater teleprot in there own forest once per day. Need to kill it quickly."

"Unicorns are immune to poison and they can greater teleprot in there own forest once per day. Need to kill it quickly."

Poison disappoints yet again. ;-(

"In that case."

Leonard raises his hand and two crystalline rays spring forth.

Touch attack 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 184d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 3) = 7
Touch attack 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 164d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 4) = 14

No save. SR does apply. The damage is Subdual force per the Admonishing Ray spell. Should the Unicorn fall unconscious the imps will then tear it apart.

Edit: Assuming it's a standard unicorn that's 28 total damage from Leonard and his imps.

Aurelie Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
MJ Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Kitty Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Kitty charges forward at the outline of the unicorn, biting viciously.
Charge Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

The Big Pappy waits until Aurelie does her thing. Delay

Aurelie claps her hands, wiggling her fingers, and giggles, "Go get it, Mister Jingles!" The eidolon rolls its shoulders at this, seemign even more imposing than before. Casting bull's strength on Mister Jingles.

The beast then charges forward, slamming its hand forward and trying to grip the creature in its massive fingers.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20+2 if it can charge
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 6) + 16 = 27
Grab: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

While the others pounce on the suddenly seen unicorn, Vaklam is in a quiet discussion with his sister "Sent a trio of shadows into the forest, not too far though, so they can scout ahead."

Delaying my action in case I am not needed to help take out the unicorn

We need to take out the unicorn before it teleports. If you wait till then it's too late.

Kodo and Podo come out and attack the Unicorn. Podo is the only one that hits, though as Min warns Unicorns are immune to poison so the Sting only scrapes the unicorn a little. Both the hasted attacks hit scratching the unicorn some more. 13 damage total, The imps can go at your initiative.

One of the rays that Leonard throws out hits the unicorn the other goes flying off and hits a tree.

A skeletal cat hits the unicorn and then Mr Jingles gives the unicorn a swift punch in the jaw. During this time the Unicorn is saying in common. "By the gods, ahh, ow, ouch. Not the horn, not the horn." The unicorn then splatters on the ground twitching with a few vestiges of life in his body.

Near Mr Jingles out of one of the trees a bulbous fungoid creature pounces on him and begins to hit him. Another of these fungoid like creature moves and attacks Leonard. One more attacks Min.

Attacks vs Mr Jingles
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Grab attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Mr Jingles is not grabbed by the creature
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (6, 3) + 3 = 13

Attacks vs Leonard
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Grab attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Leonard is missed by the creature

Attacks vs Min
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Grab attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Min is grabbed by the creature
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + (5, 3) + 3 = 13

I have freedom of movement grabs auto fail against me. If the soul is absorded do that mean I can't soul bind the unicorn. I was looking forward to that. Unicorns has a constant circle of protection against evil that they can not surpress. I wondered if soul gem would have the same properties.

Easily slipping out of the creatures grasp. I take a 5 foot step back and cast Payer.

what are these thing?
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37

That damage hurts. Wasn't the shard right in front of me?

The skeletal cat, at Aurelie's thought, moves behind the creature attacking Mr. Jingles, flanking with the eidolon (roughly a 5-foot step to get there, I think), and attacks it furiously.

Bite attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Claw 1 attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Claw 2 attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Meanwhile, the Big Pappy itself smashes a hand onto the creature, grabs it, and impales it with the spike (or tries to, at least).

Slam Power Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 Damage: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (5, 1) + 17 = 23
Grab attempt: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Gore Power Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Damage: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 17 = 28

[dice= knowledge nature] 1d20+21

[ooc]you can't have all the nice things. You're going to have to share. :-)[\ooc]

my prayer gives +1 luck to attack, damage,saves and skill checks and a -1 unluck penalty to our opponents. I think Mister Jingles benefits sense he comes after me. Also I see that my knowledge check should be 1 higher. Also haste gives +1 to doge, attack rolls and reflex in addition to the extra attack. You know all plants are immune to Poisson. Now I wish I hadn't bothered to haste the imps.

@Everyone: Okay I have updated a combat map so you can see general positions, a square is 5 foot. Here it is: Combat Map

@Min look at the map to see how you were attacked, you were next to it before taking your 5 ft step. If a soul is absorbed then no you can't have the soul from soul tap.

Kitty runs around the twitching unicorn (The enemy attacked from the other side to not have two angry things next to it but kitty is more than fast enough) and flanks with Mr Jingles and bites the creature, sinking it's teeth in. Mr Jingles smash the creature picking it up then killing it by impalement.

Min steps back and casts prayer, contemplating on these creatures he finds out that they are Mi-gos .

Waiting on Leonard, Vaklam and The shard before resolving Enemy 2's actions

with this new information I step next to Mister Jingles with my 5 foot step. Step to the East.

"O these are Mi-Go's I've always wanted to met some Mi-Go's. They have such fascinating technology. I always wanted to share notes."

I look over to the Mi-Go's

"I've got some great job opportunities for you guys. I know you arn't going to take me seriously until we beat you senseless. But I want you to know this is just part of the interview process"

these things would make a great engineering team. If these ones won't cooperate I wonder if there are any non-military ones that they are guarding that might

I've already updated the map for your 5ft step in your turn. You were next to it before your action began. (Your turn was 5ft away cast prayer from your other post). So unless you want to provoke or use your standard action on it you are where the map has you now.

Waiting on Leonard, Vaklam and The shard before resolving Enemy 2's actions

Both Imps visciously slice through its Carotid arteries of the unconscious unicorn with hands and tails. Full attack coup de grace X2. That should be sufficient to kill it, but if not they'll continue until it's dead.
Licking their fingers Kodo say's something to Podo in Demonic. Then shrugs.

Dodging the blow leonard say's in a slightly annoyed voice

"Could one of you Melee people take care of this please?"

Suddenly Leonard appears to step out from himself and there are two. (Copy Cat Cleric ability)
Then in an instant both Leonard's are standing behind Leiara's Dinosaur. (Swift action to use Shift the Teleport Conjurer power)

Note/Question on the map: shouldn't Aurelie be on Jingles' shoulder? That's her default spot.

The Shard pounces on the closest creature before him, appearing out of nowehere and catching the creature off guard.

Against touch AC.

Pytha-Gora moves to shelter Min from future attacks form the Mi-Go that's still alive. Pytha-Gora is also a Large Creature.

@Aurelie: Yes indeed. Onto his shoulder she goes. Everyone can edit the map btw so if I got something wrong feel free to change it.

@The shard: At touch? I thought it would be Flat footed? Also you are too close to charge, you are a 5ft step away from the nearest enemy.

Seeing the Mi-Go die he did double damage Min says "O well at least your soul will serve me"

I point at it and say "Soul Lock"

that's the signal for the Cacodaemon to Soul Lock something

their flat-footed AC is less but he hit every attack in any case

Yea, my bad it's against FF. So I 5-foot step and full attack and substract 2 off of all my attacks, but should still hit everything. I'd also get my rake attacks in there as both my claw attacks hit.

[ooc]Do I get all my hits in or does it die after my bite attack? just for future references and AC bonuses]
