Kingmaker. The shadows behind the throne.

Game Master DBH

Yeah, apparently being a bloodthirsty psycho isn't 'EVIL'. :)

Marten strikes Armag three times and wounds him heavily.

Zelera & Vibenia?

Remember, Dusk is invisible for 5 rounds or until he attacks.

Are the skeletons still unobstructed? If they aren't blocked in some way, Dusk will get murdered after he attacks

Fair point. I was just pointing out that he should be able to maneuver to wherever he needs to.

With blinding speed, Vibenia loads and reloads a volley of specialized bolts, each containing a small chamber of acid as she counts on Dusk to get into position.

Vibenia hits three times.

Zelera is up!

I somehow missed that we had rested, that is a very good thing!

With everyone in close for the moment Zelera took the chance to cast a prayer to aid them all.

Blessing of fervor. She will take the bonus to AC one for now.

Gunoke took off from Zelera's shoulder and flew up higher in the air as high above above Martin's head as he could before unleashing a blast of electricity down at Marten's target.

Gunoke taking the + to hit

electric blast w/eo/pbs/precS: 1d20 + 14 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 324d6 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 3) + 4 + 6 + 1 = 26

Armag is still standing after all your attacks and goes into a rage!

Mouse can act now. Armag is still flat-footed to you!

The little woman probably only comes to the behemoth's knees, but that just means his knees are particularly open to her holy sting. One to the left, one to the right, which seems to pierce all the way through, doing her best to bring him crashing down.

Mouse kneecaps Armag lethally, sending him crashing to the floor without a leg to stand on.

Shame, he was going to slaughter Marten first. :)

Since Dusk is invisible.

Green & Light Blue attack Mouse & Marten.

greatsword Green: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
greatsword Light blue: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

17 total damage to Mouse. 46 total damage to Marten.

Vibenia & Marten may now act!

Marten takes the battering as usual and counterswings at the foe with Dusk opposite him (light blue).

1. Falling Leaf attack, divine favor, flanking: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 3 + 2 = 29

4. Falling Leaf damage, divine favor, weapon of awe: 1d8 + 7 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 3 + 2 = 13

Vibenia's jaw drops for a moment as Mouse's attack results in a fountain of blood showering the frontline before the barbarian's roar dies in a fading scream.

Shaking herself, the huntress fires a quick volley at one of the approaching skeletons, commanding Ghost to hit and run.

Appearing mid-attack, Dusk tears into the spine of the skeleton facing Marten, adding to the onslaught before dashing to protect Vibenia.

Will dash past Yellow. AC IS 29 VS AoO

If Teal is already dead from Marten's attacks, will spring attack Yellow instead (no flank bonus/ no attack of opportunity due to spring attack)

Marten hacks away at Light Blue, joined for a moment by Dusk

Yellow doesn't get an AOO as he has a longbow out.

Vibenia chips away at Yellow.

Bludgeoning weapons work best folks.

Blue & Black shoot their bows at Marten.

Blue: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Black: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Black: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

And don't trouble him.

Zelera & Niadroub can now act!

Mouse kneecaps Armag lethally, sending him crashing to the floor without a leg to stand on.

"Armag?! More like Leg-mag, AMIRITE?" Waffles guffaws at Mouse's efficient killing of the re-born barbarian legend.

"You guys can use that one, if you want! I don't mind!"

Ignoring his familiar, Niadroub Kliip tries to mop up with the same cheesy toppling magic missiles he used yesterday.

Spending one arcane reservoir point to increase the caster level by 2.

With their leader already dead and only skeletons remaining Zelera moved up a bit closer and sent out a pulse of positive energy to wash over the skeletons in range of her causing their forms to start to erode.

Channel Pos vs undead DC 16: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13

Gunoke took his target, aiming for one in further back, as a small stone was grasped by his power and sent flying at one of the rear skeletons.

telekinetic blast as bludgeoning w/EO/extended range @ dark blue (he is currently above Marten's head still): 4d6 + 4 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 6) + 4 + 4 + 6 = 31

Niadroub produces an ear battering clatter of bones hitting the floor with his [i]Magic missiles[/b] smashing the skeletons to the floor.

Zelera sends positive energy to batter the undead.

Gunoke blasts Blue, punching a hole through him.

Orange & Yellow clatter back to their feet.

Mouse can act.

Mouse did the one thing you should never ever do in the middle of a very blood battle... forget to close your mouth. By the time she done spitting out the life of her enemy, the skeletons are on top of her and all she is can do is stab away.

Light blue was nearly gone, so one attack ended him, the rest stomped Green!

Mouse splinters both Green & Light blue, precise thrusts of her narrow blade at just where the bones were weakest having devastating results!

Purple & White clatter back to their feet this round.

Map updated, all the remaining skeleton's have bows readied.

Marten & Vibenia may act!

Been forgetting to add Zelera's prayer spell.

Marten lets out a heavy sigh. He remembers what happened last time he faced a bunch of skeletons with bows.

He slides around the pillar to his left and past Dusk so that he can reach a nearby skeleton but use it for cover against its companions further south.

Hopefully, if they shoot through its space, I get the +4 AC bonus for cover.

Falling Leaf attack, divine favor, prayer: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 42
Falling Leaf confirm crit, divine favor, prayer: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 44

Falling Leaf crit damage, divine favor, prayer, weapon of awe: 1d8 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 21

All lumped together in one hit, so the DR isn't as effective.

Marten hammers Yellow with a heavy blow.

Vibenia?

Botting Vibenia.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

15 damage to Marten.

Niadroub & Zelera may act!

Niadroub Kliip casts hungry pit beneath two of the skeletons.

Black and dark blue; the two on the bottom left of the map. Spending one arcane reservoir point to make it DC 24 Reflex to negate. Otherwise, they take falling damage after falling for 60 feet, and then 4d6 bludgeoning damage each round.

Bludgeoning damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 1) = 12

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

fall damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3) = 23

Niadroub drops the bottom out of two skeleton's world. Both fall and Blue is shattered.

Zelera?

Zelera was quite pleased more of the skeletons had gone down but they weren't finished yet. With a pair of skeletons close together Zelera called down a pillar of holy fire upon them.

Flame Strike on purple and grey dc ss: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 1, 4, 5) = 51

Gunoke, meanwhile, took aim at another skeleton that was closer to them with a blast of raw force this time.

telekinetic blast as bludgeoning w/EO/pbs @ orange: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 225d6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 5, 3) + 5 + 4 + 6 + 1 = 33

Zelera calls heavens fire down on two of the Skeletons.

Gunoke blasts Orange

Lurching forward Orange swings at Mouse.

Mouse always prefers ganging up on opponents, but sometimes the perfect thrusts presents itself and one cannot ignore it. So she doesn't, and thrusts once, twice, shattering bone with ease.

Mouse dismembers Orange.

Purple & White both take aim and shoot at Marten.

Purple longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

44 damage to Marten.

Vibenia & Marten can now act!

Marten takes the hits with a grunt as the arrows spang hard against his armor, rocking him onto his heels. He barely catches one in time with his shield before it hits an artery. For dead guys, they're really good shots.

He moves to directly engage the nearest skeleton archer (purple), using it for cover against its own ally.

Since I have to move more than 5' to reach the skeleton, using the blessing of fervor for +2 to attack and AC. Makes AC 27.

Falling Leaf power attack, blessing of fervor, divine favor, prayer: 1d20 + 20 - 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 - 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 37
Falling Leaf power damage, divine favor, prayer, weapon of awe: 1d8 + 7 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 26

From behind, Gorman reloads and takes a pistol shot.

Gorman: Pistol attack, blessing of fervor, prayer: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 25
Gorman: Pistol damage, prayer: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Vibenia unleashes a volley of shots at the skeleton behind Marten's opponent while Dusk comes around to attack alongside Marten

Marten smashes Purple with one powerful blow.

Vibenia sends Grey staggering with repeated bolts, then Dusk ends him.

The last is in a Hungry pit. You finish it off.

Silence falls as the last Skeleton is ended.

Composite Longbow +1 (+4 Str) (8).

Ovinrbaane

You can rest and heal up. We'll do the remaining rooms when you're ready.

What now?

Marten takes a moment to catch his breath as he rises out of his battle stance.

"I wonder what this poor man's story is," he says. "Dragged into this conflict? Or willing participant? I suppose it is moot now."

The 1st edition Ovinrbaane

That's the 2E link for Ovinrbaane. Here is the 1E version.

Did we have a plan for how this will get the Tiger Lords to back off? I can't remember what we were doing other than rescuing the noble kids that are from Fort Drelev.

"If the Tiger Lords were all following Armag's leadership, I'm sure presenting his head along with our possession of his sword will quell them at least for a bit." Vibenia suggests.

The double doors to the north lead to:

D13. Armag's Tomb
A massive raised dais supports a coffin of black stone to the west
in this large austere chamber, while the walls to the east are decorated with a bas-relief of a stern barbarian dressed for war and wielding a greatsword.

What are you doing now?

Armag's tomb map updated.

Gorman: Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Gorman, in the middle of cleaning and reloading his pistol, idly points with the barrel brush.

"Secret door in the bas relief."

Mouse looks at the secret door with a shock of interest, which is just normal for anyone getting told there is a secret door somewhere, but it quickly grows wary. "The last one did not go well for us."

Niadroub Kliip lays down his portable hole next to Ovinrbaane, and then uses a mage hand cantrip to drag the sword into the hole. He folds the hole back up as he listens to Vibenia's suggestion.

"If the Tiger Lords were all following Armag's leadership, I'm sure presenting his head along with our possession of his sword will quell them at least for a bit." Vibenia suggests.

"Soonds good. Who's chepin' his heed ooff?"

Mage hand doesn't work on magic items, or on items weighing more than 5 lbs. (Ovinrbaane weighs 12 lbs.)

Niadroub Kliip lays down his portable hole next to Ovinrbaane, and then unceremoniously kicks the sword into the hole. He folds the hole back up as he listens to Vibenia's suggestion.

Zelera was quite glad teh fight was ober but realized how badly Marten was doing. "Before we go much further we should heal you up Marten." Zelera called on a prayer and healed the of the paladin's wound.

"Is that sufficient for now?'

Marten nods. "Yes, thank you, Zelera."

"I'm ready for anything else that awaits us."

It seems like the party is ready for more potential spider demons that multiple and tear their minds into pudding. Mouse thinks and sighs, before looking over the secret door for traps.

The secret door is not trapped and opens easily.

Speeding things up as there is no danger behind it. :)

D14. Holy Sepulcher
Within this octagonal chamber, a five-foot-square alabaster pedestal
sits inside a ring of brilliant light shining from the ceiling.

Map updated.

A ring of counterspells (contains enervation),
A scroll case with a scroll of blade barrier, a scroll of magic vestment (CL 16th), and a scroll of lesser planar ally,
And a wand of heroism (50 charges).

What are you doing now? The rest of the tomb is now empty of dangers and encounters.

Things you still need to deal with:

The East Sellen River has been closed to trade for several years due to the aggression of the boggards of M’botuu. If the PCs manage to either defeat these boggards or secure their cooperation in allowing river trade, this important economic link between Brevoy and the south reopens. As long as the PCs control at least nine hexes that include a portion of the East Sellen River or Lake Hooktongue as part of their nation, they gain a +4 bonus on their nation’s Economy.

This is an encounter on the map that you bypassed. Location N.

Without Armag or the Black Sisters stirring the pot, the Tiger Lords cease to be a true threat to their neighbors, but their raiding parties continue to be an annoyance. Handing over the greatsword Ovinrbaane to the barbarians as a peace offering is one way to appease them—in this
case, the sword works at remaking a new barbarian in Armag’s image, but without the Black Sisters, this new Armag focuses his anger not at the PCs or Pitax but north and east at Numeria and Brevoy. While the Tiger Lords don’t actively serve as allies to the PCs, their presence helps to strengthen the northern border, granting an increase of 4 to the nation’s Stability.

Probably best to discuss what to do in this case with your ruler.

Finally, if the PCs manage to liberate Fort Drelev and push back Lord Irovetti’s presence in the Slough, not only can they add a sizable city to their nation (once they expand far enough into the Slough, of course) but they are also well on course to becoming the largest and most
successful nation in the Stolen Lands. This increase in national pride and accomplishment increases their nation’s Loyalty by +4.

What are you doing?

With the Giants and the mercenaries gone there is an air of relief and freedom in Fort Drelev these days.

Terrion Numesti is overjoyed to see you. Not just because you have driven the Barbarians away but because you have saved his daughter.

With Kisandra still in your kingdom he has Tamary back with him.

Once you deal with the Boggards linking your kingdom with Fort Drelev will be relatively easy.

What are you doing now?

If Lord Numesti can direct the party to the Boggards, the party will happily take care of the matter. (If not, the party will contrive of an unlikely and undefined way to know exactly where to go.)

After that, the party will head back to Thornholme to give Baron Colwyn the news and to take a break.

Knowledge of the Boggard's location is easy to gain from the local hunters and fishermen. They know where it is so they can avoid it.

"What are Bog-Arts?" Mouse asks as they travel toward their village. She assumes, since she has never heard of them, they were not native to the underground as are her adoptive people.
