Iron Gods AP with GM Mustache (Inactive)

Game Master Mustachioed

"Wulf you need to back off, the're going to kill you!" Ton roars as he himself moves up into the fray.

With a frantic gesture and a lot of cursing he manipulates some of the arcane energy still coursing through him and a shield of glittering energy spring up around him.

Move action to move forward, swift action to use Spell Recall to regain Shield and a standard action to cast it.

AC=22
HP=34/34

Ton, don't forget you have Jolga's pseudo-inspire as well right now.

Jolga, now you have to school me on how your CMW spells does twice as much as normal.

Zeke and Wulf should go!

Oops. It doesn't. Accidentally read mythic CMW since that was much bigger. Shows you how often I cast higher level cures.

The cure was still two 8s. Ton was healed for 8+8+4.

I have to wait until later to see the Roll20, but Zeke plans on moving up and firing a coin shot at whoever shot at him. Also, he should have at least healed Wild half damage, which granted is only like 3 hp.

Zeke follows Ton and Wulf, still wielding his gun and looking all around up the stairs while crouched like a gunslinger. He casts a spell, and a silver coin shoots out of his gun towards one of the orcs that was heading towards Sam.

Ranged touch attack through +2 pistol: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 15 (BAB+DEX+enhancement+inspire courage-Deadly Aim)
silver coin damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 12 (caster level+enhancement+inspire courage+Deadly Aim)

I have my health as 16(-2 for DR on those two attacks) then +3 from zeke (I always forget it save for half) So i'm at 19 now.

The pain wrecks his body and seeing only more Orc's ahead of him he decides to heed Ton's words for once. "I need to pull back." He shouts out and as he does he looks up at the balcony, withdrawing a potion from his bag, and expecting hell to rain down from above.

I want to withdraw next to Jolga but I'm unsure if he has moved himself.
Fatigued for 3 rounds.

hp19/58

ROUND SUMMARY!

Wulf pulls back and goes out of his rage, passing by a surprised Sam, who at that moment approaches the orc and hits him, nearly knocking it out and staggering it. Zeke finishes it off.

Ton and Jolga both act defensively, buffing and curing.

Garfaulk lines up a shot with his musket, and despite the long range, gets a hard shot off against Birdfood! Even from this distance, you can see the hatred and pain in the Smiler's eyes.

Four orcs remain. One steps forward to engage Sam; another engaged Ton. The two orcs throw their remaining javelins (one at Wulf, one at Zeke), and then start moving toward the ramp, drawing their falchions as they go. Meanwhile, the gnoll archer fires his bow at Garfaulk, after seeing what his gun did to the boss.

While orcs have poor accuracy, they have great strength, and once in a while they simply get lucky. The orc attacking Sam gets a lucky shot into his torso, critting for 21 damage! All the other enemies miss, and Birdfood is still under the spell.

1 for charles, 2 for sam: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Charles wakes up!

At that moment, screeching comes from behind you and you realize you have forgotten about Birdfood's hawks! as I almost did

All four head toward Garfaulk who stands well behind the rest of the party and start pecking his head! He is scratched twice for a total of 3 damage!

All party can go!

"Finally." Charles, excited to be in the "driver's chair" of his own body again winces at the damage Sammy allowed to happen. His magic weapon switches to a kukri and he begins to slash away at the nearest orc.
magic kukri, inspire: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 10 mwk dagger: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21damage: 1d3 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

crit confirm?: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18crit damage: 1d3 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 111d100 ⇒ 391d100 ⇒ 39

Paul, can spiritual weapon coup de grace? I think it's unclear RAW. CDG requires a melee weapon attack. SW summons a weapon by its description but also says that it attacks as a spell, not as a weapon, for purposes of DR. Either way, I'll go with this.

Jolga calls out and a shimmering shape appears near Birdfood and strikes at him.

Charles easily put down another orc...

I am looking for a reason to deny the CDG but I don't see a good one. It turns out that you just had the perfect spells prepared and were clever. Can't stop that. However, your crit with the spiritual weapon doesn't do x2 damage, you have to roll the damage twice. So...

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 revised damage

A light flail made of pure force appears and swings down on Birdfood, doing 13 damage. Birdfood has no defense... the flail splits his head, and he dies!

The orcs notice and scream, attacking with greater ferocity. They will never run. And the birds simply do not notice that their leader is dead!

fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Cool! Yeah I forget to roll twice for crits...

Jolga nods. "That will help some." He draws out a potion and steps near to Wulf, holding it out.

CLW potion held out and 5 ft step. Am I seeing correctly that there are two Jolga's on the map for some reason?

my bad; I didn't see you for whatever reason and put a new one on the board.

Ton looks to disable the remaining orcs while the group consolidates in time to take the fight to Birdfood.

He hurls a glittering swathe of magical energy over three of the remaining orcs and then blasts a shot at another.

Swift action to use Spell Recall to get another casting of Glitterdust. Spell Combat to hit that and a single shot against the unblinded orc. The three I want to dust are the two together north and the one beside Charles

Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 27 (BAB+Dex+Magic 1+Arcane Pool 1+Inspire+pseudo inspire-deadly aim)
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 11

Zeke moves closer and shoots again!

pistol attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
silver coin damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Wulf downs the potion he drew from his bag. Gulping it as fast as he can, almost instantly he feels the magic healing up his wounds.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 8) + 3 = 12

Then takes the potion offered by Jolga, as he see's Birdfood stuck down by some magickly floating flail. "What the hell Jolga, is that yours?" He shouts over the fighting.

hp - 32/58

Feeling a bit better now but it seems like the party doesn't even need me now, after not being in the last fight and needing to pull out of this one.

Garfaulk, surrounded by the birds, grunts, though keeps up his song about hunting the feathered fellows, plucking them, so on and so forth to the point where he wondered if he learned it from goblins. Shaking the thought off, he pulls out Slagbreather, still holding crescendo off to the side. Aiming the smaller pistol, he takes a small step to the right and fires the scattershot at the birds that were harrying him, hoping the bang may even scare them off.

Slagbreather v Bird 1: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 18
Slagbreather v Bird 2: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 9
Slagbreather v Bird 3: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

ooph

Jolga nods to Wulf. "The stars themselves fight with us." He turns to survey the problematic orcs.

Definitely still need you, Wulf! Lots of baddies left! I'm planning to enlarge you in a sec so you can wreck with some nice reach.

"Stop feeling sorry for yourself Wulf!" - is what Ton would shout if he was a Psychic and not a Magus

Get some health back and then go to town with your hammer!

Charles needs healing pretty badly now, too. He's at 9.

**ROUND SUMMARY**

With Birdfood down, it should be a simple matter to do some cleaning up... you hope!

Garfaulk blasts the birds... somehow though his birdkiller only hits one of them.

Ton blinds the lot of them and then staggers one. Zeke puts the finishing touch on the same.

The blindness stops one from doing anything, but the other two are able to get swings off against Charles. Charles is fast on his feet, and dodges one, but takes another hit for 8 by the big swords.

sam or charles: 1d2 ⇒ 1 charles

Garfaulk is dealing ineffectively against these hawks! They swarm him, surrounding him on all sides and scratch furiously. Some of the birds get two swings off (full attacks). He is hit 5 times for 7 damage!

The gnoll on the wall has had enough. He drops his bow and disappears into the building to the east and closes the door, hoping to block the glowing flail that appeared from nowhere.

ROUND 5
Charles HP: 1/39

Wulf HP: 32/58

Mooks/Birdfood/Birds

All party can go!

Jolga redirects his flail to attack one of the most injured looking among the orcs.

Heal to tell who's closest to death: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Dam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

He then begins casting a spell on Wulf.

Standard action to begin casting enlarge person. Will use my move action next round to finish it. Not sure if them being blinded is enough for the spiritual weapon to hit...

Zeke shoots his last silver coin at one of the blind orcs menacing Charles.

pistol attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 (Have to add firing into melee penalty)
silver coin damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Don't forget bonuses from me and Garfaulk! +2 total to attk and dmg.

Oh right, thanks Jolga! That adds 1 to Zeke's attack and damage. (I already had inspire courage in there.)

I didn't mean to seem like I was sorry for myself, it's good we can all stand on our own two feet.

Feeling a little more alive, Wulf looks up to see Sam or Charles taking a beating and before finishing up his healing he takes up his hammer and heads back to the front line.

"Pull back Sam, I can finish up here." He say over his ragged breaths.

Standard action Power Attack Hammer Swing Hammer Swing: 1d20 + 4 + 3 - 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 - 2 + 2 - 1 = 7 BAB+Str-power attack+bless/jolga-fatigued

Well not goo that miss means my second attack doesn't hit, so I loved and tried to attack. Good buffing, but can't help a 1.

Wulf is still off balance from the terrible arrow he received. He misses, but at least doesn't fumble his weapon!

Ton and Sam and Garfaulk can still go!

Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 16 (BAB+Dex+Magic+arcane pool-spell combat-deadly aim+inspire+psuedo inspire)
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
Shot 2 with Snowball: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 and Cold damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 1) = 13

Ton levels his pistol and unleashes two blasts at the injured orcs in front of him, one carrying the full might of his arcane power.

Garfaulk grumbles more midsong,though keeps the tune going, realizing more aND more that is a rather messed up song-something he'd never noticed before.

Quickly trying to sidestep them, he reloaded and fired Slagbreather again,herring sick and tired of the flick assaulting him

Slagbreather vs Top Bird: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 24
Slagbreather vs Bottom Bird: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

*ROUND SUMMARY*

Garfaulk next big boom finally does in the birds, and they scatter. They fly into the air, circle around, and eventually dissappear. Whatever control Birdfood had on them had ended.

Zeke and Ton end one orc, and Ton's magically enhanced shot ends another. Wulf misses.

Charles full withdraws. As injured as he is, it is the only thing that makes sense.

After the attacks, one orc is left standing. Blinded, it swings at Wulf....

at wulf: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 172d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7 Miss!

**************
Only one orc left! Finish him!
**************

Ton reloads his pistol, snapping in a fresh battery that provides that satisfying hummmm

thrown dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21damage: 1d3 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 8

Out of striking distance, Charles throws his dagger at the last orc.

Seeing Charles pulling his dagger, Garfaulk couldn't help but try to show off. Quickly reloading Slagbreather, he aimed for the orc, almost trying to beat Charles to the punch for the sake of being cool

[Ooc]trying to regain that grit lol [/ ooc]

Slagbreather: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 8

Jolga finishes enlarging Wulf then looks around for any remaining threats. The scorpion floats into the air to scout for any who have fled.

Perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Still have my standard but probably not much to do. Mara floats to 10 ft altitude and should look for any fleeing foes, emoting a desire to hunt if she sees them.

If no one has dropped the orc yet, Zeke loads a standard paper cartridge and fires!

pistol attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
pistol damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Charles hits the orc first but Garfaulk is the one that finishes him off!

All the enemies are fallen... The place is quiet... and free for exploration. Or at least, you think so.

As the last orc fall's Wulf follows up now boosted by Jolga, with a hammer hit on the last orc on the floor. "Bastards." He spits at them, panting at he does. "We should heal quick and then move to clear the place, that birdmans arrow hurt!" He pulls at the arrow, attemping to take it out with very little pain. Then drinks a potion.

CMW: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 5) + 5 = 12

hp=44/58

I'm going to open all the doors in roll20 so you can move and look around. Leave your character in any specific place to explore that room and say so here with a perception check.

Slow internet connection can't open map right now. Will enter nearest room.

Jolga lays the bodies neatly in a pile with grunts of effort for his old bones. Then he nods to his allies. "Well done. The night sky smiles on our union." Then he moves into the nearest room and looks around with the aid of his scorpion.

Mara aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Perc: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 17

Jolga piles the bodies up in the courtyard, and proceeds into the nearest room. It is a barracks, with beds stuck in every possible bit of open spaces. It stinks of orcs, and there are fleas everywhere. A careful search reveals nothing of particular interest... dirty clothes, half-eaten food, and empty ale steins.

"Not going anywhere till I'm healed. Zeke, you're a priest. Make that useful"

"Yah Zeke would you mind healing my wounds?" He smiles, ripping up one of the orcs shirts and wrapping up the cut on his arm. "Then we should all stick together and search room from room. Did those Orc and Gnolls have anything good on them?" He moves to look over the body's before Jolga can burn them.

Do we have any spells to save? If not should we just take 20 on perception room to room and if anything bad happens we'll take it from there?

hp=44/58 Happy to take one charge I don't need to be max. Maybe we should roll the healing for ourself for the wand? Just to speed it up and not let it all rest on one person.

There are a variety of healing options, so let's keep it simple and only roll if you are using one of them (on yourself or someone else). That makes it easier to keep track of charges.

Zeke gives Charles a look, and then shakes his head, tsking. "These wounds are bad, my friend. As a priest of Groetus, I think our god is trying to tell you something. After I patch you up with this wand, you should take it easy. Get some bed rest, and I will tell you all about the End Times that Are to Come." He looks over the messy and surely disease-ridden barracks and sighs. "Are we planning to take over these rooms?" he asks the group with distaste.

While everyone is gathered together, he will first channel energy, so everyone benefits. Then he will finish up with their wand of cure light wounds.

Channel energy, 3 uses: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2) = 13

Wand on Charles: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Wand on Charles: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Jolga is, indeed, planning to honor the dead, Wulf. Good call checking them first.

Jolga bods gratefully to Zeke for the healing. "Wise. Perhaps I should seek similar aid from the stars." He then moves to the next room.

Mara aid another: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Perc: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 20alertness+AA+guidance

"What I need is for you or SOMEONE who can heal to actually pay attention. Sam isn't one to complain but you let Wulf, Ton, and me nearly die while you played with your guns. Keep healing," Charles says, indicating his javelin wounds.

Zeke looks Charles in the eye and nods, troubled. "Just as I thought. Our friend's mind has been affected! I think he is suffering from some kind of mental malady, possibly spiritual in nature. I will have to examine him more carefully to be sure. Recklessness, turning on his companions, perhaps even delusions of grandeur, thinking his own actions more important than those of others. We need to get him someplace comfortable where he can rest." To Charles he says loudly, "Hang in there, my friend, we will see to your injuries as soon as we can, Groetus save you!"

Jolga goes into another side door, revealing a hallway, which wraps around several corners, slightly heading up. Soon, he finds himself on top of the balcony, next to Birdfood's corpse.

Ahead of you, looking into the building where Birdfood first came from, you see a homemade throne.
