KenderKin's Kingmaker Part 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Freddy Honeycutt

After a lengthy delay (sorry) here are the updated maps...

Staglord Fort (upper)
Staglord Fort (lower)

How does that look? I just need to add Obi, and move the bandits from the upper levels to new positions(?). Anything else? Let me know and I'll make the changes.

Lets finish this fight! :)

I think the guy I was following is in P-15, but he was heading downstairs last I heard about him.

Upper floor bandits are firing into the earth elementals inside and outside, the upper floor rear bandits are watching to ensure no one is sneaking into the fort during the distraction......

Thanks Obi. I'll wait for the others to chime in before posting the edited map.

I'm ok with the map.

OK let us assume the map is fine!

Init order:
Ellaria & charmed bandit - 23
Bandits - 20
Torod & elementals - 19
Obi - 10
Eadric - 9

UPDATED Upper Level MAP
UPDATED Lower Level MAP

Note: moved some of the upper level bandits so they can see the elementals. Moved the lower level bandits to engage the elemental. Moved Auchs to the stairs down as he lumbers to join the fight. Obi has shadowed Auchs and then moved around and is hiding under the stairs...

Ellaria is up! :)

Ellaria moves closer to the bandit, whispering urgently to him: "My friend! Look what these evil men are doing to that harmless elemental. They've attacked him without reason. You must help him - move closer to that fight, and try to hit the people fighting the elemental in the midst of battle, so the others won't notice that. In any case, don't worry - I'll help you!". She then proceeds to cast a spell, causing a large amount of rocks and pebbles to drop down on the bandits fighting the elemental.

Cast Stone Call - all the bandits in that area take 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 points of damage (no resists).

Several of the bandits take hits from the falling stones and the elemental, two go down from damage received.

Torod

Seeing spellcasting inside the fort, the crossbowmen up top

The earth elemental outside the gate is expired.
Torod casts Summon Monster I while continueing to stay as hidden as possible.

Should I roll for the elemental as well or are you taking care of that?
Just in case.
Slam 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 damage 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 includes augment summon, power attack, and earth mastery

The elemental hits and takes out a bandit, the man was there one instant and completely gone the next as if the elemental killed and buried him within the same instant!

Perception DC15

Obi is up!

Okay, since both maps have yet to be updated, how many bandits are still in front of the gate where the elemental was?

Obi please roll the perception roll as indicated above!

might provide needed information......

Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Hmm... I'll stay where I am for right now.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Perception 1d20 ⇒ 14

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Eadric prepares to enter combat by drawing and drinking a potion... of Shield of Faith (+2)

Obi

Eadric

...um... how?

If you're talking about the owlbear, apparently some other bandits opened it's cage while I was offline. It's what my spoiler says.

So there are more bandits?! Yet unseen (or mapped), to go along with those visible/known? Considering an owlbear itself is a CR 4... and the Stag Lord and the 3 lieutenants are all not pushovers.... plus the regular bandits... smells like trouble.

Might be trouble....The regular bandits are mopped up except overhead archers......

Leaving the staglord, Akiros (former sleeping knight), Auchs (large man w/toys from upstais), Dovan (shady character from the game).....

Staglord and Akiros losed the owlbear when they saw the group fall to the elemental!

feel free to remove all elementals/fallen bandits

Assuming no actions....on your parts to attack the owlbear

The owlbear ignores everyone instead begins feasting on fallen bandits at a terrible pace, as the axe like beak tears through flesh and the creature tosses back its head to move the food into it's gullet....

I believe Ellaria is up no?

Initiative reminder

Charmed bandit
to Ellaria "Stand back it can't eat you!"
Ellaria is up!

Is there an updated map now? I'd like to check it out before Ellaria decides her next action.

If KK will provide me with the new coordinates for those that have moved, or have been added/removed/etc, I will post an updated map. :)

Upper level map changes
1 archer at I 8, 1 at E 19
Others went downstairs and either died outside or inside the fort!

Lower level map changes.
AD 14 and surrounding area is an owlbear and bandit corpses!

The gate running AJ 10 to AN 10 is now running...
......At an angle from AN 10 to AJ 14.

The following individuals are behind the gate from the owlbear….
The staglord, Akiros (former sleeping knight), Auchs (large man w/toys from upstairs),and Dovan (shady character from the game).....

Cool?

As requested... Let me know if everything is correct. :)

UPDATED Upper Level
UPDATED Lower Level

Those are awesome!.....and accurate!

The owlbear continues eating and screeching at times, also pawing the ground glaring at you then it's eyes dart around wildly!

Perception
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Obi

DC 30

Happy Holidays all! I am off to Jasper for Christmas! I'll try and keep an eye on the game but... ;)

Stealth:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Extra +20 if the Invisibility Potion is till in effect. If it is, Obi will also move closer to the owlbear.

everyone have a safe and happy holday! ;)

Obi

Know: Nature 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Obviously Torod wasn't paying attention when they were teaching about owlbears in druid school.

Ellaria is up!

Ellaria stays back, nervously eyeing the owlbear and waiting for the bandits to move closer before joining the battle herself or sending her new friend there.
Delay until after the Bandits turn.

Torod will delay as well.

Wait! What did the bandits do? Or are they all down?

Only the "named bandits" and archers remain and they are safely behind bars, (and upstairs) and have released the owlbear.....

that of course excludes Ellaria's charmed bandit ;)

Despite his common sense and usual courage, Obi begins to make his way upstairs, chanting softly to cover his invisible self in protective and equally invisible flame.

Heading upstairs.

Eadric is up!

How does the door open? Can I open it from this side? By myself?

The door is heavy, but yes you can lift the bar and push open the door.

The gate is directly in front of the Owlbear!

Torod, hoping that the owlbear is more interested in eating than attacking, slowly makes his way to the gate and tries to get it opened. Eventually, the owlbear will be done eating and he wants it to have the option to leave.

Wild Empathy 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 You keep eating and pay me no mind. It's a little stuffy in here and I'm just opening the door trying to get a cross breeze.

Sorry, I am out of town in no Internet and terrible cellular coverage area until Thursday. DMNPC Eadric until I can post then.

The owlbear catches Torod's scent and then pays no attention as the druid moves to open the gate.

Torod's hands reach the gate and go to lift the release to open the door.

Torod give me strength check(s) until you hit a DC 16

Eadric no worries everyone is on vacation

Str check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Str check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Str check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Third time's the charm.

As Torod begins opening the gate the archers above pay no notice at first, but once the gate opens they both take shots at Torod from Above!

"Hey now wha err yah about!" yells one as he fires....
