Howl of the Carrion King

Game Master Ira kroll

Can we see a way up to the balcony? Are there stairs or a rope or something that could be used to climb?

Boramyr getting tired of being used as a pincushion, runs over and kneels down behind one of the benches to get cover from their arrows. He then reloads his crossbow behind the bench.

Noonan takes a shot at one of those nasty critters, cursing as he is grazed.
S.bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
S.bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Bahram tries to duck for some cover and slip into hiding. he eventually will try an maneuver to a better spot to toss a dagger at one of them.

stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
bad karma stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

he hopes to make use of the old pews as cover.

Belros takes a shot at the easiest target, then ducks behind a pillar in an attempt to get better cover against the enemy's arrows.

Longbow attack, bad luck longbow attack, damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d8 ⇒ 7

Morrigan skewers the staggered pugwampi, which falls to the floor.

Katenui looks for a way up to the rafters. She sees a rickety ladder to the north (where the blue arrow is pointing).

Noonan hits one of the creatures, but it does no damage.

Bahram hides behind one of the pews and has total concealment.

Anaara Chooses another pugwampi (target acquisition: 1d4 ⇒ 2. Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Belros takes a shot, then gets behind one of the pillars for partial concealment,

Boramyr gets cover and reloads

Pugwampi attacks: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 1d2 ⇒ 1 hits Katenui for 1 damage
Pugwamp attacks: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 2 = 12 1d2 ⇒ 2 misses
Pugwampi attacks: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 1d2 ⇒ 2 hits Noonan for 1 damage
Pugwampi (-2 to attack, 6 more rounds) attacks: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2 1d2 ⇒ 2
Pugwampi attacks: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 1d2 ⇒ 2 hits Noonan for 1 damage.

This second was stronger; no matter, Anaara thinks, chuckling to herself. The chuckle escalates into a loud cackle, and she targets another with her flashing glare.

Move action to cackle, which extends both active hexes. Standard action for Evil Eye (attacks) on a third target, -2 to attacks for seven rounds, Will DC 14 reduces to one.

Deciding that stopping the annoying gremlins from shooting any more is the best option, Kat moves past the others and then calls on the sun to bring forth a dense morning mist. A moment later, as though rolling in off a small pond, a cloud of misty vapors surround the silent woman, causing all visibility to be blocked in the area.

Move to current location.

Standard: Cast Obscuring Mist - 20' radius. <-- should block their ability to see us.

Kat then calls out to the others.

Climb the ladder. They can't see us.

Active Spells: Bless

Before Katenui casts obscuring mist:

Bacon squeals as the first pugwampi slams to the ground.
"One down! Who's next?..." Morrigan scans the room for her next opponent. "You!" Morrigan points at the next closest enemy and fires another bolt of shadows. "Binding Darkness!"

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Aww. Fail.

Morrigan also moves a little closer and ducks behind a pew.

Noonan runs behind a pew for some cover.done

As Kat's cloud obscures his vision, Belros decides discretion is the better part of valor and ducks into it, making his way to the base of the ladder. Besides, that way they won't have the high ground on me anymore. Could use a clearer shot, too.

Double move to get to the base of the ladder.

As the cloud interferes with his vision, Boramyr gets up and moves towards where the ladder up was.

Double move to ladder

Morrigan casts blinding darkness on another of the creatures, but fails to hit it.

Katenui casts obscuring mists

Noonan takes cover

Bahram moves to the ladder

Anaara was initially going to try to evil eye another pugwampi, but merely cackles and moves toward the ladder. If you want to do anything else, just let me know and I'll retcon it.

Belros moves toward the ladder

Boramyr moves toward the ladder.

The pugwampis yell dire threats and begin noisily scurrying about the rafters.

Morrigan

Katenui

Noonan

Bahram

Anaara

Belros

Boramyr

Noonan shoots the pugwampi NE of Morrigan
S,bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d6 ⇒ 4

I wish I had enough money for a longbow!

Morrigan moves to the edge of the obscuring mist, staying on the inside of it, and uses another action to reload her crossbow.

I'm not sure where the mist ends so you can move me to the correct position if necessary. It's only a 20 ft. radius so Morrigan should have no problem making it to an edge.

Not having a ranged weapon, Kat waits in the cloud of fog hoping her companions can get to the pugwampi's.

Action: Delay

Too many going up, it will just make more of a cluster f*** if she joins the ladder crew.

Nah, I'm good. I think I'm actually going to keep my spot behind the wall there - I'm just as much good down here as up there.

Anaara keeps her position, cackling and standing ready to weaken the next creature she sees.

Move action to cackle, ready a standard action for Evil Eye on the first pugwampi I get sight of from my spot.

Noonan shoots the pugwampi NE of Morrigan

1d20+3;1d6

miss chance because of partial concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 35

I've added a circle showing the extent of the obscuring mist.

Bahram attempts to get up the ladder and find a way to close the range to a pugwampi that he can see (not in the mist)

not sure if that would take the whole round or not.

Boramyr pauses just inside the edge of the mist, and waits for the others to get to the top before he tries to go up himself.

Since a ladder is half-speed up, and Bahram's speed is thirty, and the ladder is twenty, then, Bahram can get to the map at the bottom of the map link with ten movement left.

Looks like I will be going up next round then. :)

Morrigan reloads the crossbow.

Katenui is delaying action.

Noonan shoots and hits the pugwampi.

Bahram climbs up the ladder into the rafters.

Anaara cackles.

Belros climbs up after Bahram, and is ten feet behind him.

Boramyr climbs up the ladder, and has complete cover, since his head is not even with the rafters.

======= New Round ==============

A thin balcony overlooks the chapel floor some twenty feet below. Two rows of tall-backed wooden choir chairs dominate the southern reach of the balcony, which hugs the chapel's concave walls. The balcony falls away -- collapsed for a span of perhaps fifteen feet -- just on the other side of the choir area. To the east, rickety time-worn wooden rafters stretch across the whole chapel. Two huge sections of these rafters have been engulfed in a sort of next comprised of a patchwork of random bits of cloth.

The pugwampis yell dire threats, scurrying about the rafters.

Pugwampi attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Pugwampi (2 damage) (-2 to attack) attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 14
Pugwampi attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Pugwampi (-2 to attack) attacks Belros: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8
Pugwampi attacks Belros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Belros takes one damage.

Morrigan

Katenui

Noonan

Bahram

Anaara

Belros

Boramyr

Noonan keeps shooting at the Pugwampi he was targeting

S.Bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 ⇒ 1
Unluck: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 65

I've done what I can for now...this is the safest place for me; I have not the fortitude of the others. Until the smoke clears, I can only hope to continue the bad luck I've already caused. She continues to will her hexes to continue.

Move action to cackle, ready a standard action to hex the crap out of one that may come into view from where I am.

Morrigan moves closer to the ladder and attempts to Intimidate to demoralize the nearest pugwampi above her.

"Get down here so I can tear you apart you ugly son of a dretch!

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Frickin' unluck aura. Wasting a 20.

Boramyr finishes climbing up, and them moves behind the chairs for cover so that he can shoot at a pugwampi.

attack: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
attack 2: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Bahram attempts to maneuver closer to get a clear shot and tosses a dagger.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
bad Karma acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Bahram does not get to far and decides he is close enough

dagger throw: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
bad karma throw: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Noonan grimaces. Burning stuff down looks better and better.

Morrigan tries to intimidate the pugwampis, but all he hears is laughter from them.

Katenui continues to delay

Noonan misses with the bow.

Bahram moves up closer to them, but misses with his dagger

Anaara cackles and looks to see if there is another pugwampi to hex.

Belros fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d8 ⇒ 8

Boramyr moves up to the rafters and misses with his crossbow

Pugwampi attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Pugwampi (2 damage) (-2 to attack) attacks Belros: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 2 = 16
Pugwampi attacks Belros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Pugwampi (-2 to attack) attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 2 = 6
Pugwampi attacks Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Belros and Bahram each take 1 damage

Morrigan

Boramyr

"You won't be laughing when I tear you fiends out of the sky! I'll bring this whole chapel crumbling down! Mwahahaha!"

Morrigan does her best crazed villain impersonation, tossing her head back and throwing her arms out wide.

Bluff roll, if I need it...
Bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Morrigan casts ghost sound on the rafters to sound like the wood is creaking and warping as if the rafters are about to come down. Will DC 15 to disbelieve. Duration 1 round.

To add to the effect, Bacon squeals loudly and begins to run in panicked circles at the bottom of the stairs to the chapel.

Also Morrigan briefly glances over to the ladder to see if it is bolted to the wall or if it can be removed.

Noonan will keep doing that thing he does
Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 221d6 ⇒ 3
Unluck: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
COnceal: 1d100 ⇒ 60

Boramyr reloads and trys again to hit one of the pugwampies.

attack: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
attack 2: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Are there pugwampis above and below? Or, just in the rafters? They are not positioned in the same places on the two maps, so I am unsure whether there are 5 up and 5 down, or just 5 total. Kat will move to attack one of the ones on the floor if there are pugwampis on the floor.

Bahram looks for another clean shot. and tosses his third dagger.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
bad karma attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

They are all in the rafters. I think the ones on the ground map can be ignored. DM can correct me if I'm wrong.

Could I get another in view if I shift my vantage point? Anaara moves through the cloud of mist to its other side, willing her already active curses to continue.

Move action to cackle, move action to move 30 feet.

Kat, without a ranged weapon of the necessary agility to walk across the rafters, continues to wait in the foggy mist (which extends up 20' if that blocks any of the pugwampi shots) until she is able to do anything else.

Action: Delay

They are all up in the rafters. Sorry I didn't move them from the upper map.

@Anaara: Yes you can see four of them now on the middle rafter. After their move, you can see only pugwampi 2.

The ladder is not movable.

Morrigan tries to scare the pugwampis.

Pugwampi will saves: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

See! I can roll poorly also! <<grin>>

Katenui continues to delay

Noonan misses with the bow.

Bahram misses with his dagger

Anaara cackles and moves to a more advantageous position.

Belros fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 ⇒ 7

Boramyr hits the closest pugwampi with his crossbow.

All of the pugwampis vacate the rafters, and only one is in (what it believes) is a safe enough place to fire back.

Pugwampi 1 (5 damage)
Pugwampi 2 (2 damage) (-2 to attack)
Pugwampi 3
Pugwampi 4 (-2 to attack)
Pugwampi 5 fires at Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Bahram takes 1 damage

Pugwampis 2, 3, and 1 have complete cover from Belros, and Pugwampi 2 has complete cover from Bahram (although a five-foot step would fix that).

Morrigan

Boramyr

Active Effects: Bless

Morrigan aims at pugwampi #1 directly south of her and fires.

"Now that I've got your attention...die!"

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Cold Iron Bolt Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

So many missed crit. opportunities. =(

Morrigan's move action is to reload.

"Keep them on the defensive, but be careful up there." Morrigan shouts to her allies above.

Anaara sighs in frustration as the pugwampis retreat. You suffer one curse; let's make it another, she thinks to herself as she stares down the one pugwampi she can see, willing her other curses to continue and taking a step to her left to benefit from the cloud's cover.

Standard action Evil Eye to AC on pugwampi 2 (seven rounds, Will DC14 reduces to one), move action cackle, free action five foot step to the left.

Noonan shoots at Pugwampi 2
S.Bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 ⇒ 1
Unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Kat, starting to feel rather useless in this battle, unloops her rope from the side of her pack and begins to knot it up to make climbing easier.

Move - retrieve rope
Standard - know rope

Boramyr quickly reloads his crossbow and then moves up slightly behind Bahram

WORK IN PROGRESS -- DO NOT RESPOND YET!

Morrigan hits the pugwampi

Noonan misses with the bow.

Bahram makes a five foot step and throws a dagger at Pugwampi #1.
Attack/Damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Anaara cackles and evil eyes pugwampi #2, DC 14 will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Belros fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3) at pugwampi #1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d8 ⇒ 4.

Boramyr reloads.

==============================

Pugwampi 1 (8 damage) falls from the rafters.
Pugwampi 2 (2 damage) (-2 to attack) fires at Bahram: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8

Pugwampi 4 (-2 to attack) fires at Bahram: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 2 = 21
Pugwampi 5 fires at Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Bahram takes 1 damage

Pugwampis 2, 3, and 1 have complete cover from Belros, and Pugwampi 2 has complete cover from Bahram (although a five-foot step would fix that).

Boramyr

Darn! Paizo's site went down, and I didn't have time to finish...

Morrigan hits the pugwampi

Noonan misses with the bow.

Bahram makes a five foot step and throws a dagger at Pugwampi #1.
Attack/Damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Anaara cackles and evil eyes pugwampi #2, DC 14 will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Belros fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3) at pugwampi #1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 1d8 ⇒ 4.

Boramyr reloads.

==============================

Pugwampi 1 (6 damage) retreats out of sight.

Pugwampi 5 fires at Bahram: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Bahram takes 2 damage

Morrigan

Boramyr

Don't forget that everyone is at +1 to attack from the bless spell. Not sure if you added these TDM.

Noonan keeps shooting at the thing that he was shooting at.
Bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 ⇒ 5
Unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

I think my last shot should have killed pugwampi #1. Bahram and Belros probably would have targeted a different target since Morrigan went first.

Morrigan turns slightly to the left and tries to bind pugwampi #4.
"Binding Darkness!"
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Morrigan slams her fist into the bench and curses in frustration.
