KC's Age of Worms

Game Master Kobold Catgirl

Astraden whispers to the others, "They know what Tanith's spell does. I think they are saying they'll 'choke us on silk.' And it sounds like they have some kind of telepathic bond or scrying powers."

And this is why I need to stop writing flowery. That was a curse, not an instruction.

While Eben is pleased to not have to fight the scary snake lady, he is hesitant to get closer to her personal space, seeing as 2/3 of the people who did so before him seem to have found a new religion. He steels himself, sets his mind firmly on the objective of just getting through the room without falling in love with all things naga, and steps forward. And in his ignorance, doesn't bother averting his gaze.

Spending an Action Point on my Will save.
Will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 + (1) = 24
He feels himself pulled into her eyes, but pulls himself back out, somewhat easier than he thought he would. Still, he makes a mental note not to make eye contact on the way back through the room.

"What a niiiice lady!" he cheerfully says, deciding he may as well play along with those who did get mind whammied. "Now, did she say she smelled brimstone from here? Rodrigo, could that be a summoning thing? Demons or devils or whatever?"

Astraden shrugs, seeing Carina stumped. "No worries. I'm sure we can weather whatever they've got - especially if we dispel the flayer's control. Are we ready?"

"Brimstone could well be associated with some kind of outsiders, yes. I'm afraid I'm more knowledgeable about goings on in the city than I am about extraplanar creatures' anatomy though. I have power over them, but I don't really understand them."

Rodrigo turns to the archons, You lot, any helpful spells for us?

Yes, master, comes the chorus of mental replies. The archons flit about touching everyone, and filling them with a font of divine energy.

THP for Rodrigo: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Temps: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Tanith prays for strength in the coming battle and Kord answers giving the hulking brawler's skin an iron-greyish hue. Extended Ironskin.

"Let's do it."

Perceptions: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 361d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 201d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 301d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Eben grimaces. "Well, just in case we are facing some kind of demonic summons..." he says, warily, and sprinkles something sparkly over his back, into his quiver. "Keep 'em coming..." he says. He cocks his head to the side. "Spellcasting going on up ahead..."

Aid: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Casting abundant ammunition on my quiver. KC, about how many rounds did we go through chatting up the naga?

Tanith nods from up above and aerially inches forward with his poleaxe at the ready.

HP: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

=(

"Umm, I'm pretty sure Fashash suggested that dispelling Xyrzog's control over Myrianaas was a BAD idea. It's a waste of resources, since she's evil and wants to kill everyone on Oerth anyway."

Aid: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Temp HP Gained

Carina quaffs one of her shield extracts and readies herself.

Eben grimaces. "Well, just in case we are facing some kind of demonic summons..." he says, warily, and sprinkles something sparkly over his back, into his quiver. "Keep 'em coming..." he says. He cocks his head to the side. "Spellcasting going on up ahead..."

[dice=Aid]1d8+3

Casting abundant ammunition on my quiver. KC, about how many rounds did we go through chatting up the naga?

You've spent roughly 14 rounds in this chamber, including talking and spellcasting.

Right-o, so, just moving my spell clock forward a few pages for ease:
Heroism lasts 673 and 674 rounds, dancing lights lasts 10 rounds, cat's grace lasts 45 rounds, good hope lasts 46 rounds, abundant ammunition lasts 69 rounds.

Eben freshens up his dancing lights before moving forward. "For all the good that will do once the darkness hits..."

=(

"Umm, I'm pretty sure Fashash suggested that dispelling Xyrzog's control over Myrianaas was a BAD idea. It's a waste of resources, since she's evil and wants to kill everyone on Oerth anyway."

"But no doubt she will want revenge on Zyrxog. An ally, even a temporary one, could save us in a moment of need," Astraden whispers.

"And yes, that rotten-eggs smell probably means some evil outsiders. Since Myrianaas worships Lolth, a goddess of chaos, and was speaking in the languages of the Abyss, I suspect we will be facing demons. If any of you have cold iron weapons, you should get them ready."

Temporary hp: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Oh, good. Glad someone knows. I have cold iron, mithral, and adamantine, but this saves me firing a few as test shots..."

The party moves on, leaving Fassash to carefully inspect her new treasure.

The cavern opens up to a vast chamber, over forty feet in height with a shelf twenty feet above the floor off to one side. A short cage containing pent-up livestock (a few half-starved pigs and a cow) has been constructed to the left of the entrance. A parred off passageway is set into the south wall. Darkness hangs over the area like a protective shawl, though it is no veil against the enchanted eyes of the party (nor the half-orcish eyes of Astraden, though she can't see much yet).

Aside from the animals, within the chamber are ten creatures.

Four drow stand up on the raised area. Flasks and bags are clutched in their hands, ready to throw. Rapiers are at their sides, and they wear buckler shields.

Down on the ground, two more drow, both female, stand brandishing falchions. Their enraged expressions are similar to that of Spiny when someone tried to take a meal away, or Kullen when he fought the party back in Diamond Lake.

They flank a seventh dark elf. She is clearly the drow's leader—though easily the shortest in the room, she gazes upon the invaders with utter disdain and not a trace of fear. She wears studded leather armor that seems wreathed in shadows, and in both hands she grips a heavy mace. This is Myrianaas, priestess of the Demon Queen of Spiders.

The last three creatures in the room are different. One of them, a tiny winged green demon with ram horns, sits upon the priestess's shoulders clutching a wand apparently carved from bone.

The second looks like an oversized black goat with three horns and jet black, glossy hooves. It exhales a wispy cloud of putrid black smoke as it breathes.

The third stands just over three feet tall. The bestial humanoid wears filthy, tattered robes and has blue-gray skin decorated with strange, coiling stripes. Dark fur grows on its head and arms, and its feet end in burning hooves. Its eyes glow as red as the flaming sword it wields in one hand, and its breath fills the surrounding air with noxious gray smog.

The priestess gives a wan smile when she sees Farrukh (and his archon companion) round the corner. "At last. You have arrived."

Inits (PCs;Drow;Demons): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Round 1: Drow

The priestess clasps her hand to her spider-shaped holy symbol, eyes squeezed shut. "Lolth, Weaver of Chaos, Your Eightfold Majesty, grant your servant the strength and divine power she needs to smite these crusaders of blinding light and burning righteousness." The symbol glows, and Myrianaas's shadow seems to lengthen slightly, her body taking on a pale glow.

Up above, the four drow hurl their flasks and bags. The flasks aim for the archon over Farrukh's head, while the tanglefoot bags aim for Farrukh.

Flasks: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 211d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 232d100 ⇒ (64, 20) = 84 Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Bags: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 3 = 251d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 3 = 16 Farrukh is entangled and must make two DC 15 Reflex saves or be stuck fast, as per the rules on tanglefoot bags.

Once the first volley has been thrown, Myrianaas points her mace forward and shouts a command. The two drow beside her hold back, readying their falchions—barely containing their rage, it seems.

Round 1: Demons
The small humanoid points up at Tanith, giving a cruel giggle, and fires off a tiny ray of runes.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 CL: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Despite Tanith's protective magics, the spell barely hits. He feels the magics around him struggling to remain cohesive. Fortunately, the ray just barely winged him, and is unable to get a foothold. The demon below curses.

The goatlike demon takes a more practical approach. It snarls and charges straight at Farrukh.

Charging Bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1) + 5 = 12 Make a Fortitude save vs. disease.

Round 1: You are up!

One Knowledge (the planes) check for each demon (once you can see it or get a description).

Ref saves: 2d20 ⇒ (15, 18) = 33

Farrukh sighs.

"What's the point of hearing these guys coming if they always manage to somehow get the drop on us anyway?"

"Well technically they heard us coming." Astraden focuses her mind on the shoddy mask draped around her neck, then releases a wave of very violet light that seems to linger around the two abyssal minions.

She then steps up around the corner, hoping the goat-fiend is too frightened to attack her. "Are you Brandr or Nechemyah, foul thing?"

Action point (7/8) for Alignment Channel (evil) (4/6). DC 17 Will save or be panicked as Turn Undead. Movement provokes from the one next to Farrukh, if it is still able to attack. May be squeezing in my new square.
Knowledge (planes) goat one (good hope: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Knowledge (planes) dispelling one (good hope): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Round 1: Channel positive energy for evil turning (standard action), movement (move action). Ebon eyes lasts 628 rounds, ebon eyes lasts 629 rounds, magic circle against law lasts 48 rounds, air walk lasts 678 rounds, bear's endurance lasts 66 rounds, bull's strength lasts 67 rounds, and copycat lasts 5 rounds.

Eben runs north and around the corner, his hands playing with the buttons on the glass rod as he goes. Just as he sprints into the big room, his form fractures into mirror image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 five seperate Ebens. He casually drops the rod in the doorway by Astraden, calling to her as he does, "Use that if you need to!" Then, his now free hand reaching behind him, he pulls an arrow from his quiver and nocks it to his bow, staring at the little miniature monster ahead. "Is that a demon? I hope it's a demon, because, y'know. Cold iron!" He then shoots an arrow made of the aforementioned metal at it.

shortbow+good hope+PBS: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 18
(unlikely) damage+Good Hope+PBS: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 11
D'oh. Just realized I forgot to cast gravity bow before the fight as well. Damn, so many buffs to remember...

Regardless of whether it hits the creature or not, the arrow disappears in a burst of twinkly blue lights at the end of its flight and reappears in Eben's quiver, unharmed. As he comes to a halt, he turns to present his profile to the room, his frame once again taking on a dancer's stance.

Swift action: cast quickened mirror image, using an AP to save the slot. Move action: move 25 feet. (May provoke up to twice from the goat thingy if Astraden didn't scare it off & if it has AoO's remaining.) Standard action: shoot at mini-minotaur thingy. (May provoke again from goat thingy if it isn't scared away & has combat reflexes or something.) Free action: activate Dance of 23 Steps.

Heroism lasts 672 and 673 rounds, dancing lights lasts 9 rounds, cat's grace lasts 44 rounds, good hope lasts 45 rounds, abundant ammunition lasts 68 rounds, mirror image lasts 70 rounds. Mirror image has 4 images remaining, AC is 23/18/15 while Dance of 23 Steps is active.

3d20 ⇒ (3, 1, 12) = 16
The three demons quail as holy energy radiates from Astraden's symbol.

Eben fires an arrow into the small humanoid's chest.

Farrukh, Tanith, Carina and Rodrigo are up.

Whoah, an 18 hits? PIGPILE ON THE MINITAUR!

Spellcraft on Myrianaas' spell (good hope): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20 Spellcraft on demon's spell, if it wasn't cast from the wand (good hope): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25 IIRC you can't use Spellcraft on spell trigger items.
And Knowledge (planes) on whichever one wasn't dispelling (good hope): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 because I didn't notice there were three.

"Goat-thing's a mehrim - diseased bite and extremely resistant to normal metals!" Astraden shouts back to those behind her.

The dispelling demon doesn't have a wand. The little green one on Myrianaas's shoulder does, however.

I don't appear to be on the map anywhere.

You're directly west of Tanith. There's an archon on your head.

Gedditoff!

Moved Farrukh to the top of the stack so it's easier to manipulate him.

"Oh! Tiny one's a quasit - poison and invisibility! And the other one tried to dispel something on Tanith, and Myrianaas' spell's to give her luck in battle." Astraden points her rapier towards each opponent as she speed-talks through the information about them.

Should be fine for you guys to read the spoiler above.

Tanith can't move forward until Carina does.

Also, did the goat thing even hit me? It got a 15..my Flatfooted AC is 24.

Farrukh struggles against the tar to make his Studied attacks against the demon.

Slash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Damage: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Bash: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Damage: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Bash Iterative: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Damage: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Damage: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Total damage 39, since I think that attack confirmed, yes? Swift Favored Target, full attack. If it dies, somehow, I 5 ft. step forward.

I don't think it hit, no. I was in a hurry, so I put all the information there just in case.

Brief note on bull rushing: Because you're entangled, you can't follow the mehrim for even a five-foot bull rush, though your two bashes were high enough to wrangle fifteen feet total otherwise. I had your last attack move it back, though.

This is all academic, though.

Still off-balance from its charge, the demon takes two nasty hits—the scimitar's hit in particular causing it to ooze ugly orange fluid from its neck. Farrukh has to stop himself from knocking the mehrim back just to make sure he can make a third strike.

On his last bash, he breaks the goat demon's neck at an improbable angle, sending it tumbling back to land at Myrianaas's feet.

Technically speaking (as this might matter for tactical purposes) the mehrim was dead on the second hit. The mehrim's body does not decay or vanish.

Tanith, Carina and Rodrigo are up!

Technically speaking (as this might matter for tactical purposes) the mehrim was dead on the second hit. The mehrim's body does not decay or vanish.

Not to be like the snotty kid that reminds the teacher that she forgot to assign homework, but is that accounting for its DR? It just seems a shockingly low number for what seemed like a bruiser demon.

Well, the first two hits were 40 damage (I accidentally applied DR to my crit damage in my sum up), plus 11 from you. Considering it's probably like a CR 3-5 Demon of some sort, I would expect it to be dead.

Judging by the map Eben was actually shooting the one further off.

You were remembering the entangled condition and good hope/heroism though, right?

Yeppers. Otherwise my attacks would be 2 higher. 7 BaB, 5 Str, +2 weapon, +2 heroism, +2 Favored Target, -2 TWFing, -2 Entangled, -2 Power Attack = +12 Sword, +14 Shield (no TWFing penalty on the Shield). Damage +5 Str, +4 Power Attack, +2 weapon, +2 Good Hope, +2 Favored target = +15 damage Sword (+16 Shield with my trait).

I'm going to assume Carina moves forward at least a little.

Tanith takes a few airborne steps and brings his heavy poleaxe cleaving down onto the goat-like demon below him.

Chop (hope): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage (hope, smite): 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 6 + 2 + 3 = 27

Oh, yeah, was neglecting the crit in my cursory damage glance-through. That does make sense then.

Yep. The mehrim is a bit of a bruiser for its CR, but it only has 33 HP.

Tanith, the goatlike demon is dead. Who are you attacking?

Oh, the thing 10 feet away with a -11 on it. It looks somewhat goat-like to me.

And how high up are you? Keep in mind you're attacking it from ten horizontal feet away, which would be considered to limit your vertical options substantially. This assumes you're where you mean to be on the map.

Round 1: Actions
Move Action: Move behind Farrukh's archon, drawing my +1 merciful crossbow as I move
Standard Action: Shoot drow straight across from me

Carina moves up behind Farrukh, stopping behind the lantern archon hovering behind him. She levels her crossbow at one of the falchion-wielding drow and fires!

Ranged Attack (PBS, Cover?): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 24
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 12
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
Crit Damage?: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

EDIT: Forgot to include merciful damage. Thanks for reminding me, Tanith! :)

Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I understand. Tanith is just over Eben's head this round. Be grateful Tanith hasn't switched to that kilt yet.

Carina don't forget your 1d6 merciful damage.

Go, go, Archon Rangers!
Move actions; move on golden lines.
Standard actions; attack remaining demon (-11)
Touch Attacks: 3d20 ⇒ (10, 17, 14) = 41 14, 21, 18
Bypass DR Laser Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 2

Rodrigo allows the archons to go forward into the next chamber to fight. He grins when he hears the *pew pew* of their light beams firing off. With nothing better to do for the moment, he walks up behind Carina, and enjoys the view.

Be grateful Tanith hasn't switched to that kilt yet.

Aw, man. My next post was going to involve Eben glancing up, then shouting something like 'Oh, now I understand, Carina!'

The archons burn into the last demon as Tanith cuts a bloody blow into it. Carina's bolt wings the drow's shoulder.

Round 2: Drow
Lantern Archon Alchemist's Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3
The drow with the tanglefoot bags hurl their payloads at Tanith. However, the winds surrounding him knock both away.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 151d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 221d100 ⇒ 96
Meanwhile, the drow with the alchemist's fire hurl their payload at the archons. One waits to see if the other kills the already burning one before throwing herself.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 201d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 14 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 5
The injured archon vanishes with a slight sputtering, like a dying lamp. The other two remain, though slightly burned by the liquid flame splashing on them.
One archon dead, and the other two have taken 4 damage apiece from splash damage.
Three of the four drow then draw their rapiers.

Myrianaas, meanwhile, steps forward. She clasps her unholy symbol once more and, with a flash, releases a blast of demonic energy. All the adventurers of good or structured souls can feel their strength waning, while the dark elves and demon seem to thrive on the power.

Archon Will Saves: 1d20 ⇒ 101d20 ⇒ 19

The two archons are particularly hard-hit by the attack. They struggle against it, flickering mightily. One survives; the other winks away in mere seconds.

Carina, Tanith, Astraden and Farrukh must make Will saves.

Emboldened, the two drow swordswomen rush ahead, giving fierce battlecries.
Tanith AoO (elevation): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 = 28 Damage: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 24 Possibly -2, see above.
Attacks @Tanith: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 = 311d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14
Crit?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 2) + 10 = 16 Not accounting for Stoneskin.

Round 2: Demons
The two demons remaining flee, eyes wide as they behold Olidammara's grimacing visage. The quasit takes wing. Oddly, neither of them head west—they seem to start in that direction, then turn and bolt to the upper portion of the chamber.

Withdraw.

Round 2: You are up!

Round 2: Actions
Move Action: Reload
Standard Action: Shoot the priestess

Will Save (Shield Other, Good Hope): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14

Carina's knees buckle under the priestess' magical assault. Despite her weakness, she reloads and fires again, this time at the priestess!

Ranged Attack (PBS, Precise, Sickened, Cover?, Good Hope): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 2 = 23
Damage (PBS, Sickened, Good Hope): 1d8 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 8
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

EDIT: Included Good Hope effects. Didn't realize I had them. Argh.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Ass.

At least these guys are kind enough to come right to me.

Also, did you roll for how many rounds the Tanglefoot bag lasts?

Slash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Bash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Damage?: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Bash Iterative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Carina, Tanith, Astraden and Farrukh must make Will saves.

I assume Eben's included in that as well, and you just overlooked him due to Tanith hogging the space on the map? If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll adjust the damage I'm about to take.

Eben feels a nauseating, greasy sensation of discomfort wavering through him.

Will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23

But when all is said and done, the drow priestess' best efforts don't quite penetrate the sensation of overflowing health that one of the lantern archons gifted him with.

i.e., the damage I take with saving comes out of my aid THP.

As the drow close in, he takes a step back to asses the situation. The demons being out of reach for the moment just means he has new targets.

Shooting at the drow not getting cover from anyone else (the one SW of Tanith, W of Farrukh)

Shortbow+Good Hope+PBS-Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 32
Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 16

Damage+good hope+PBS+Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8

Once again, the spent arrows twinkle back into his quiver.

Swift action:activate arcane strike. 5-foot step back, full attack on drow. Free action: activate Dance of 23 Steps.

Heroism lasts 671 and 672 rounds, dancing lights lasts 8 rounds, cat's grace lasts 43 rounds, good hope lasts 44 rounds, abundant ammunition lasts 67 rounds, mirror image lasts 69 rounds. Mirror image has 4 images remaining, AC is 23/18/15 while Dance of 23 Steps is active.

Carina you're forgetting good hope on all your rolls!

Will: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19

8 + 8 (from Carina's share of the damage) + 16 damage taken. Tanith put up Ironskin for an AC boost, not Stonekin.

Tanith reels from the spell's entropic power but fights it off. He winces as Carina struggles to resist her portion.

The big man hesitates when the dark elf swordswomen approach. Only to cry out when one of the blades is buried in the meat of his thigh. "Listen ladies, I don't want to hurt- Ow!"

Faced with no other option he knees one of the women followed by a pair of brutal backhands. As he strikes, Kord mends his champion's wounds.

Fervored CMW (with an AP): 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 7) + 7 = 22

Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Confirming: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Extra Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 4 + 2 = 15

Good or structured soul my ass!

Will (good hope, action point): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 + (4) = 29 6/8, 49+2/51
Spellcraft on Myrianaas' spell (good hope): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
