Ironfang Invasion

"Go!", Lyndis points at the forwardmost scout and the eagles charge at him with their talons.

She then steps out of cover and focuses her arcane energy while casting a spell, conjuring a cloud of glitterdust on the clump of hobgoblins.

Casting Glitterdust at Blue, Pink, Yellow, Borderless and Alchemist (silver square on the map), spending 2 Arcane Points to bump the Will DC up to 19

Seeing the hobgoblins go out the back stairs Chalrles finds himself out of position but moves as quickly as he can to recover. Knowing it is not quick enough he shouts.

"Hey! You filthy wretches why are you running like cowards."

Carthas continues rushing forward, trying to close the gap.

Double move again.

Cursing the fact that the forest is a far bigger conflict-zone than she is used to, Annelise sprints after the others. She isn't weighed down by armour, so she is able to cover quite some distance.

Double move

Nyakala flinches as the flurry of arrows tear into her protective lattice. Not wanting to engage directly until more of her companions arrive to help, she begins flanking the goblinoids through the trees. As she runs Nyakala pulls out one of her healing potions.

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

Annelise, Nyakala, Charles, Carthas, and Elyas push forward, trying to get to the fight. Nyakala also trying to not get to the fight too far ahead of her allies.

Lyndis commands her eagles forward while trying to blind most of the goblinoids. The scout her eagles attack seems unphased by their harassment. One of the hobgoblins seems fine, but the others are blinded.

Blue Scout: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Scout: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Pink Scout: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Alchemist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

The militia move up, some of the archers getting into position to start firing soon.

The blinded goblinoids all either hunker down by their pallisade or slowly stumble backwards, away from the cliff. Yellow is out of line of sight below the pallisade top.

The Wolf Knight and the Bugbear rush forward, using the trees for cover, trying to get to the front. The remaining hobgoblin scouts move forward and fire at Lyndis. One arrow nearly hits her, but she wrenches herself out of the way. Lyndis feels something give in her side as she does though, moving too vigorously in to short a time. Lyndis takes 8 damage.

Black Scout: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Scout: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Scarvinious stays down behind the pallisade.

At some point the map moved a bit. I re-centered it but some tokens might be a bit off, just use your best judgement. Also, the goblinoids with dashed lines are blinded currently.

I'm not going to lie, I am basically sitting here wondering if a character or an NPC is going to eventually take the natural 20 I roll and confirm the longbow crit for.

The eagles go after the scout.

Lyndis then splashes acid at the scout before retreating.

Acid Splash Touch Attack vs. Green: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Carthas moved forward, motioning his allies to come with.

Double move. With my current location possibly being within melee attack range, and my using a reach weapon, I'm going to roll an attack of opportunity in case I get one.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Gripping his longsword Charles moves will all haste, some would say running, to close the distance on one of the hobgoblins. Breathing a little hard he stops very close to the hobgoblin and screams in his face.

Finally made it close enough to be of help!!

Elyas keeps running towards the combat, yelling encouragement to the other refugees with him
"follow me! we take the fight to them now! stay close!

he gets almost close enough to start attacking, but is out of reach of any enemies still

Nyakala drinks the potion she drew and moves a little further into the trees, preparing to attack when the bulk of her allies are close enough to engage.

Potion of cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 3) + 3 = 14

Annelise makes a silent vow to herself that she is going to study up on battle magic. Her past in Nidal taught her the value of stealth and subtlety, but it has left her short on abilities to use at range.

She carries on running.

Double move

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

Looking like he regrets his decision to ignore them, one hobgoblin gets mauled to death by the eagles. Lyndis shoots and hits one other hobgoblin with some acid.

Everyone else continues to close the gap and get in position to fight.

Lorne and Taidel launch arrows at the scout Charles has closed with. Lorne's shot gets through, injuring the hobgoblin.

Taidel vs Green w/Cover: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Lorne vs Green w/Cover: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

The bugbear and the Wolf Knight run to the eagles, trying to clear them out of the way. The bugbear rushes in head long while the Wolf Knight takes a measured approach and slices at two eagles. The WOlf Knight stumbles on the approach but the bugbear lands a hit. Red Eagle takes 4 damage.

The blinded hobgoblins take cover, while the remaining ones shoot at Charles. The hobgoblin in front of Charles lands a shot, but the others miss. Charles takes 7 damage.

Looking the situation over the Alchemist throws a bomb at Charles as well. The vials come tinkling through the air, as they near him Charles feels an unnatural cold coming from them before they explode while smashing against his torso. Charles is engulfed in hissing smoke that seems to burn his skin, but no flames emerge just intense cold and billowing clouds of fog. The cold is so extreme that Charles feels slowed by the chill. Charles takes 17 damage and is staggered for 1 round.

Not gonna lie, the Alchemist is nastier than I thought she was. You're all up again.

Injured and staggered Charles closes a step but can do nothing else.

Nyakala advances quietly to some vegetation closer to the action. While the nearby bugbear is occupied with Lyndis' eagles, she unravels her mouth into a dark swirl which begins emitting a pulsating, high-pitched whine. After a moment the noise coalesces into a blast of sound directed at the bugbear. Nyakala's mouth mostly reforms, but its haziness spreads to the rest of her form.

Casting ear-piercing scream (DC 15) on Magenta, amplified with formless spell to activate blurred body.

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

The eagles adjust their position before striking at the hobgoblins yet again, one at the hobgoblin warrior and two at the wolf knight.

Lyndis then hustles to Elyas' side.

"That alchemist seems dangerous, sir, let me try to handle her.", she says, casting a second Glitterdust at the hobgoblins.

Casting Glitterdust at Black, Alchemist, and Borderless, DC 17 Will Save

Moving forward more cautiously now that the fight is coming to her, Annelise picks her way through the undergrowth to find a position where she can see what is going on.

The alchemist would seem to be the main threat right now. She concentrates for a moment, and a shimmering heat haze appears in the air in front of her. It grows and expands, before a burst of flame announces the arrival of a new combatant, which swoops and shrieks and strides hastily into combat with the alchemist.

The counter with the red tassle on its helmet (the wolf knight?) gets an AoO as the fire elemental moves into combat

Spear in hand, Carthas ran forward and stabbed his spear at the hobgoblin Charles had approached.

Attack, charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

AC is 25 for this round, since I charged.

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

Annelise summons a fire elemental to attack the Wolf Knight. The elemental burns the night, causing him to yell in anger. @Annelise, can you explain the flat 4 burn damage? From what I cna find its veriable damage for variable rounds.

Refelx Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Lyndis sets her eagles about their work while trying to blind more of the enemy. The eagles rip and tear, causing may injuries to the bugbear and the Wolf Knight. The Glitterdust spell lands spectacularly, blinding all its targets.

Black Scout: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Scout: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Alchemist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Charles staggers forwards, while Lyndis charges the hobgoblin beside him, unfortunately missing. Indecisive, Elyas moves forward to support the group.

Nyakala continues circling around in the trees and comes around to unleash an earpiercing scream at the bugbear. The bugbear slumps slightly, then falls to its knees before collapsing to the ground, slain.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

With the fight being pushed further back, the militia surge forward again, getting ready to close.

The blinded enemies stumble backwards, trying to get away, while the ones behind the wall hunker down behind it.

With a great roar of anger and sorrow, the Wolf Knight charges trying to bring down all he can with his final acts of violence. The fire elemental burns him for it and the eagles harry him.Green Eagle and Blue Eagle get an AoO

For all the chill in side him, Charles has no problem side stepping the massive overhand blow, which leaves a small crater in the ground as the knight over commits to it.

The scout steps in to try and hit Charles from the side with his battle axe as well.

You are all up again.

Also, a bit on the DMs dilemma. I was both really happy and somewhat sad that the Wolf Knights attack missed.... I'll never be satisfied no matter the outcome apparently.

With her target slain and most of the other enemies blinded, Nyakala advances out of the foliage. Her body remains hazy, and her frequent distortions of it during the battle have begun to reduce her form's cohesion to the point that wavering strands of darkness slip out of her and ascend like smoke rising in an intermittent breeze.

Nyakala refrains from further taxing herself for the moment and merely uses a dark tendril to throw a rock from the forest floor at the nearest hobgoblin.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Very glad that the attacks aimed for him missed Charles pivots, letting his momentum from avoiding the blow guide his attack at the scout. Felling better he smiles as the magic silver sword flashes.

Silver Longsword @ Scout + CE + PA | AC: 23/1716: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 4 = 17

As the stroke moves he pivots to the "knight" still smiling.

"Looks like your next ya ugly git."

He moves his blade ready to defend and strike back if attacked.

If Charles Did NOT kill the Scout.

Carthas stepped back as the scout moved within his striking radius, then thrust with his longspear at him, saying, "Your threat ends here, hobbo."

5-foot step, then attack the Green Scout.

If Charles DID kill the Scout.

Carthas thrusts past Charles at the Wolf Knight, saying, "Not only are you next, you're finished."

Attack the Wolf Knight.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Elyas moves up with Charles, swinging his longsword at the wolf knight

longsword, PA, magic weapon: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 6

Sorry, DM: that should have read "d4" but I obviously didn't type the "d". My mistake!

Still invisible, Annelise skirts around the edge of the combat. The summoned fire elemental steps forward, attacking the bomb-throwing alchemist. Unfortunatly the thing misses with its attack, this time.

Fire elemental: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

Nyakala and Charles quickly finish the scout. Carthas thrusts at the Wolf Knight, but Charles body is too in teh way and the knight keep the strike at bay.

Elyas and the fire elemental do their best to land a blow, but both their strikes miss their targets as well.

The militia members with melee weapons rush past the Wolf Knight, trusting Elyas, Carthas, and Charles to handle the stronger foe while they sub due the hobgoblins.

The groups archers move up and fire a volley at the Wolf Knight, trying to bring him down so their companions can rush forward. Misty manages a shot around her allies, scoring a hit.

Taidel: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Misty: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

As Elyas closes, the Wolf Knight grins a raises his battle axe again. The Wolf Knight unleashes sweeping blow towards Elyas. Elyas manages to turn the blow aside and it flies high.

Wolf Knight battle axe w/ Cleave, PA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19

The Alchemist steps back and hurls another bomb at the fire elemental. Fumbling a bit in panic, she hurls it over the cliff edge.

Alchemist Frost bomb w/ PBS: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Cold Damage: 3d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) + 3 + 1 = 17

Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 5

One scout by the wall stands up a shoots at the fire elemental. If 18 hits then 5 damage.

Pink Scout w/ PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

All the blind hobgoblins struggle to move away, while Scarvinious simply stands waiting with his blades out.

Lyndis is distracted by a brief moment as the battle grows around her, but quickly regains her composure.

"After the alchemist!", she points her eagles towards the alchemist.

Black and Blue scouts can take one AoO each if they're capable to

Blue vs. Alchemist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Lyndis quickly advances and casts acid splash at one of the scouts.;

Ranged Touch Attack vs. Blue Scout: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Charles looks at the "knight".

"Sunshine! Your looking the wrong way. I will be your death not him, come on, focus up."

Carthas moved so that he could get behind the Wolf Knight, flanking with Elyas, and took another stab at him.

Move, then attack the Wolf Knight.

Attack vs Wolf Knight, flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Still invisible, Annelise moves swiftly forward. She looks for the moment and place where dropping her guise and stepping in directly will have the most impact on the fight.

The fire elemental follows up its attack on the alchemist, moving forward to strike its opponent.

(I don't think this provokes AoO from the Scout because they're using a missile weapon)

Slam v alchemist, flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Elyas does his best to contribute against the wolf knight, but ends up being mostly a distraction compared to the two more militant allies.

Nyakala adds to Lyndis' acidic attack with another destructive shriek directed at the nearby scout. She then moves further around the battle through the trees, trying to get a look at Scarvinious.

Casting ear-piercing scream (DC 15) on Blue.
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

The group surges forward, the Wolf Knight falling to the combined pressure of Charles, Carthas, and Elyas. Nyakala, Lyndis, and Annelise, along with the militia, push into the remaining scouts and the Alchemist. A brief yet brutal fight ensues leaving them all slain.

At long last you as a group stand in front of Scarvinious. He stands tall, proud, and silent, weapons and posture at the ready, though his eyes are milky and blind.

You are all about 20 feet from him.

After the massive overkill on the Wolf Knight and Scarvinious blinded (likely wishing he had kept the cure blindness potion he gave to the Wolf Knight), you are now in control of the situation.

This is assuming it is just Scarvinious left.

Charles advances on the bugbear magic silver sword at the ready he moves to just beside him. He has no idea of the bugbear speaks common but speaks anway.

"Best not move sunshine, it will be your last action."

He waits, ready to defend himself, for the others to decide it they should just kill the brute or question him first.

Nyakala stands off to Scarvinious' side, her legs still swirling pillars of darkness. She raises both hands and uses them to channel a diffuse cloud of black particles out of her forehead, which spread over a wide area. After a moment a noticeable concentration of the particles begin to gather around Scarvinious' head, with a tenuous line connecting them to Nyakala. As she waits for the bugbear's thoughts to hopefully filter through, she turns to the others and ask, "So, should we kill him now?"

Using her detect thoughts spell-like ability (DC 15).

He killed my friends. they deserve justice. we should kill him now

Elyas moves close to the bugnear, sword drawn and glowing with the blessing of Iomedae. he waits only for a moment to see if anyone will stop him or try to interrogate the creature.

Charles grin grows wider.

"Surely you get the strike then. This wretch should pay and he owes you directly."

Lyndis simply nods in understanding.

The plant-like Carthas, up on the balls of his toes, appears ready to stab at Scarvinious, but pauses as Elyas moves to kill him. Settling back, he says, "Very well. He's all yours."

before the bugbear can recover his sight or escape, Elyas steps behind him and slits his throat with his longsword.

don't know if you need me to roll it out over a few turns, or if we are just going with cut-scene execution here, but here's an attack

Annelise's eyes glitter with an unusually cold cruelty as she drops the invisibility spell and surveys her blinded foe. "This is for burning my home."

With a simple gesture, she orders the fire elemental to press the attack.

Slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If that hits - hey, it might, he's blinded - Reflex save DC 13 or take d4 burn damage each round.

As Elyas, Annelise, and Charles attack Scarvinious, dealing fairly severe injuries, he strikes back at Elyas. He feels the blade slide along Elyas armour but it doesn't quite draw blood. "Ha! Even blind I'm more than a match for you! You cowards don't even think you can subdue a blind man so you try to kill him!"

Scarvinious has taken 20 damage and is not on fire. Everyone can take another action before Scarvinious continues his retaliation.

"There is no way you were leaving this area alive and the only thing you are a match for is a horses ass. You killed Elyas's friends, helped sack a town and waged war. Your days are done."

Silver Longsword + PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13

"He's trying to delay us for some reason!" Nyakala shouts as she becomes aware of Scarvinious thoughts. "Who won't make it in time for what?" she demands of the bugbear, hoping something related to the answer comes to mind for a moment so she can detect it.

If she can't glean anything useful, Nyakala begins hurrying down the stairs to scan the camp for active minds.

Still feeling the unnatural high from tapping into a source of magic perhaps best left unused, Annelise gives a twist of her mouth as she glares contemptuously at her enemy. "You are no man. You are not unworthy of living. Hold your tongue, or I will cut it from you."

Unwilling to get into melee, she throws a dagger at the goblinoid.

Thrown dagger into melee: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

She is no combatant, but she has seen how it is done. Sort of. Seeing isn't the same as knowing how to do, of course.

Sorry guys, I'm a little short on damaging spells but will work on this!

The fire elemental strikes the goblin once more.

Slam, flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Confirm crit?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
Critical damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Reflex save DC 13 or take d4 burn damage

Listening to Nyakala, Lyndis also runs down the stairs to survey the camp for survivors.

Carthas was all set to skewer Scarvinious, but at those words, some portion of the alchemist's brain overrode the mutagenic high, and instead he moved past Scarvinious, down into the camp below to search it as well.

Double move into the camp.

Elyas looks up confused as people run off into the camp, but he stabs at the bugbear again.

longsword, PA, flank, magic weapon: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 28
crit?: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 11
additional crit damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13

:: Lamashan 8 - Late Morning - Chernasardo Forest ::

As some of the group runs off to search the camp, the others continue their assault on Scarvinious, raining blows down upon him. After the onslaught he looks battered and bloodied.

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

As Charles strikes, Scarvinious lunges out at him. Both strikes are very near misses on either side of his torso, grazing his clothing.

Scarvinious has taken 64 damage and is not on fire.

TWF vs Charles: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Miss Low 50: 1d100 ⇒ 16

TWF vs Charles: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Miss Low 50: 1d100 ⇒ 6

Running to the bottom of the stairs, the first sight the search party has is of Scarvinious' large domed tent. Upon getting close you realize the exterior is made entire of the flayed skins of humanoids stitched together. Some faces remain intact in a grotesque caricature of what they were in life. To the south of the tent are four frames with more flayed skins drying on them.

Looking further into the camp, you can see an empty barracks lean-to but it does not appear that anyone is present so far.

"I think he's trying to keep us from pursuing a group that's already left the camp!" Nyakala cries out as she processes Scarvinious' thoughts. Maybe that raiding party he was thinking about earlier...?

She races further into the camp, ordering the militia above, "Look for tracks leading into the forest!" Upon reaching the campfire she stops and concentrates again on her spell to scan the tent to her north for consciousnesses.
