Hollow's Last Hope (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

Looks like I got the rounds mixed up there :(

Again Silas tries to hit the gnome but it's just too nimble...
Flanking attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Hopefully Gilmork destroys the wall.

If Gilmork destroys the wall:
Free: drop bow
Move: pick up scythe
Move: head for annoying little critter

Unless I roll a 1 on my damage roll, the wall should go down.

Attack the icy wall with my club: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Combat Round 6
Fey [1 image] targets Michael with its attacks H= striking Michael with its hammer for 6
Gilmork destroys a section of the sphere.
Hecktor moves to where he dropped his scythe and picks it up.
Michael
Silas *actions posted
Lucanor

Michael continues to press his attack. Eventually his luck will change and the tiny bugger will stand still long enough for this game of whack-a-mole to end!

Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 9

Combat Round 6
Fey [1 image] targets Michael with its attacks H= striking Michael with its hammer for 6

Michael swings at the fey, who howls in laughter at his ill fortune.
Silas tries to hit the gnome but it's just too nimble...
Lucanor

Lucanor continues to work away from the high ground, I wonder if poor Michael is jinxed by fey magic, or just regular bad luck.

to hit all bonuses 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Dmg if hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Hey, possible crit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
if crit confirmed, extra dmg is 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
EDIT: Good magic cold iron sword. *pets blade*
to see if we hit the real deal 1d2 ⇒ 2

Sorry for the late update, I somehow missed that Luc had posted

Lucanor attacks with great success hitting for 19! Luc takes 1d6 ⇒ 5 of slashing damage as the creature's beard snags his arms

Gilmork
Hecktor
Michael

Lucanor

I believe i can move forward again? I'm not sure where Gilmork and i are now placed, since we were attacking the same piece of wall.

Can't access the map at this point, I'll try to double move to get next to the Frosty Chiseler. In such a way that Hecktor can flank with me as well.

Gilmork runs out of the icy sphere and moves around the fight scene to join in next round in the fight with the Frosty Chiseler.

Gilmork you can single move and attack if you choose.

Hecktor will move to a flanking position with Gilmork if possible.
Other wise he moves once and goes total defense.

Scythe w/pa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 = 24
Dmg: 2d4 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 + 6 = 20

"Well frostie, you're in hot water now! They've broken out.", bellows Silas with a wicked gleam in his eye.
Intimate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Hopefully that'll get him Shacken for a round or two

Fey [1 image] turns his icy gaze to Lucanor Hammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 Chisel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25Beard: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Luc is hit for Damage: 2d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + (6, 1) = 15
Gilmork
Hecktor charges the fey, cleaving its head from its body.
Michael
Silas
Lucanor

Combat over.

:) that worked out fine, the flanking seemed more important as most of the fey have DR and I can't quite get through that. Attacking wouldn't have made much sense, flanking for Hecktor would have.

Gilmork looks to the villagers, to see if any of them are hurt or if they need assistance in any other way.

Appraise: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Silas has a brief check over the gear left by the icy little gnome and shacking his head he says, "Not sure what is in this bottle but its magic, this sceptre just seems gaudy... More important than that, how are the kids?"

Nice dice rolls! Oh and Gilmork can you please heal us :)

But of course ^^

Before checking up on the villagers, Gilmork draws out his wand and goes over his friends, tapping them on the shoulder with it.

2 CLW on Silas: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 2) + 2 = 11
3 CLW on Michael: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) + 3 = 12
4 CLW on Hecktor: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2) + 4 = 12
4 CLW on Lucanor: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6, 7, 2) + 4 = 23

Down to 17 charges left

Lucanor is in bad shape by the time the fey dies. He almost spits up blood. Fortunately, Gilmork's generous wand use has sealed wounds, mended gashes, and even knit broken bones. Only a lingering chill, a very slight cut, and the blood freeze drying on his leathers.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"The kids... I need to check on Kimi. I swear, one of that group is going to be the death of my yet." He moves quickly to find her, and that boy with the broken bones so he can set it.

Heal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

His work is a bit rushed as he talks to the others, "men, we have a real problem here. Each fight is shredding us something awful and we're going through wand charges like they were water. In the mean time, who knows what other folks are suffering. I guess my question is, where next?"

The children seem in a daze but you find that their small distance from the carnival helps them slough off the enchantment a little easier. Kimi comes to with a start M-Mister Lucanor, what're you doing here... she looks around and gasps at the blood. You were fighting a monster! Awesome!

Gilmork tries not to show himself too much to the wakened people, as he knows someone who looks like a werewolf might be highly distrusted.

"Any place might do I guess Lucanor, we could go and clear this part under the river first as it's the closest things we could stop." He says with his face turned away.

Titan's Wheel, Peep Show or Strong Ale Tent. Menagerie of Freaks could be another option, what would be the worst if turned on the people of the Hollow?

"Young lady, I thought we sent you on home," It's not a question, "Now, if you want to make yourself useful, you gather each of these other children and you take them straight out of the carnival grounds by the shortest means possible and get them back to town. Sometimes being an adventurer is less about glory and more about helping folks."

Feeling much better Silas thanks Gilmork and nods his head in agreement when Lucanor mentions how hard going it is, "Yes we need help that much is sure. Assuming we can get the kids somewhere safe I think we should aim to get Quinn's aid. I have a hunch we need to check out the ice carving contest, its near here..."

When Kimi comes to, Silas flashes her a smile and says, "Ho there Kimi. Things aren't what they seem around here. Every attraction has a nasty sting in the tail. We need to get you and your friends home, safe and sound."

I'm thinking the Menagerie of Freaks is the worst, the peep show sounds like a thing from SAW and the Titan's Wheel sounds like a climb & acrobatics.[/ooc]

Yes sir! Kimi says with grave seriousness. Kimi hustles the children into a line and with a Follow me! they head off to town, away from this carnival of terror.

Moving you guys ahead to the ice carving contest, since Silas, Luc and Hecktor all thought it was a good idea.

The Ice Carving Contest.

Lined up in rows are impressive blocks of ice,
each standing about six feet high. Dozens of
revelers, including lumberjacks, children, pairs
of giddy lovers, and more than one aspiring
artist, gather round the blocks with hammers
and chisels happily supplied by a
bushy-bearded gnome and his brownie helper.
The blocks of ice are worked over by
patrons hoping to wow others with their
sculpting skills and win a hefty cash prize.
Victims frozen inside the blocks are chipped
away at as the ice dwindles. Statues begin to
bleed as the carvers sever fingers and ears,
and pulped eyes and mashed teeth join the
bloody shavings at the blocks’ bases. Carvers
don’t see the blood or notice the horrible
wounds they inflict and continue to merrily
chip away at the screaming townsfolk
trapped within.

Map updated.

Recognizing the brownie as the same type of creature that cast a spell of confusion on him before, Michael makes a mad dash towards it in hopes of shutting this one down before it gets a chance to do the same.

Double move to get beside the brownie.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Gilmork walks quickly towards the group of people, standing beside them he sees an opportunity to keep the fey distracted.

Move to K3, cast Sound Burst at F5,F6,G5,G6 intersection catching both of the fey in the radius, but no one else.

Gilmork moves his tongue in ways that look uncomfortable, but he manages to cast another howling spell.
Spell Failure 1-20: 1d100 ⇒ 35

Close to the two fae growling is heard at first, then a loud bang followed by an ear-shattering howl.

Sonic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
DC 15 Fort save or stunned for 1 round

Not more spell casters... I'd better do something in case Michael goes crazy again!

Slipping into his inner sergeant major, Silas bellows, "You know the drill lads. That brownie is the main threat, stop it casting at all costs!"

Silas uses inspire: 8/14 rounds used. Silas will use Saving Finale if needed here.

Gents I suggest grapples, seriously! Most casters have terrible CMD scores.

Total defense

Lucanor sees multiple images appear around the chiseler, "Not again."

"Silas, can you grease the folks carving on other folks when you get a chance? Won't do us much good to kill these two dark fae only to find it took us so long people carved each other apart."

I'm having trouble with the map from this computer

Lucanor tries to close on the brownie, sword drawn.

Not sure if I can get to him this round or not. Map still won't load for some reason

Move to I7, Standard action to swing at him

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Who do I hit?: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Unfortunately grease affects a 10' square so I'd only get two of them. Otherwise it would be funny and maybe even a good idea.

I do have a scroll of obscuring mist which would get the lot of them but it's not clear if that would make them stop carving.

Combat Round 2

Dark Ice Brownie [5 images]

Brownie AC 22, Frosty AC 21. If you miss by 5 or less you destroy an image, if you "hit" you have a 1:#images+1 chance of hitting the creature.

Niles, would cleave have any effect in the situation?

Whoa! Wait a second, are they carving PEOPLE?! Oh gods they are...

Suddenly incandescent with rage, Silas hurtles forward and with spittle flying, he screams, "I BET YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK IS FUNNY, WATCHING YOU BURN! DIE $#*$!!!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Fire damage if they're intimidated: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Inspire is DOWN.
Move action: Go six squares to K4.
Standard action: Cast blistering invective, by my reckoning they're both within range, just. They'll need to make a DC16 save or they catch fire.

Hecktor, not unless you want to hit Lucanor.

As far as I can tell being on fire does 1d6 DMG per round until its put out (it makes a reflex save).

You can spend a full round putting the fire out...it provokes AoO iirc.

Michael steps to close the gap between himself and the brownie, but apparently the last brownie's spell is still affecting him.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14

Lucanor focuses on the brownie, or at least, what he hopes is the brownie, slashing with his blade.

To hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Dmg from cold iron magic sword 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
What did we hit IF we hit 1d6 ⇒ 5

Michael steps to engage the chiseler, swinging forcefully as he throws his weight into the blow. However, the slick ice beneath his feet has other plans for him and throws him badly off balance. Between the force of his swing and the slippery surface he only barely keeps himself standing.

power attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 = 7

-Posted with Wayfinder

Still angry, Silas takes a step forward and waits till Lucanor presses home an attack before distracting the chiseler with a feint.
