Leviathan Rises (Inactive)

Game Master Harakani

Sense motive 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Edit: Or not.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Tarek takes the lightning in a bottle.

Okay guys - the alter self wears off.

Any map, or can I assume mimic is 30 ft away and I can toss the alchemical lightning without getting us in the radius?

Tarek hands Weyland the lightning bottle, Better arm, brother. Everyone... eliminate the threat, keep distance.

Tarek tries to reach the quarterstaff he'd spotted.

Weyland is going to try to loop around the mimic behind the shelves and make his way to H8

Stealth if needed: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Shaezon readies his crossbow. Thinking to himself "I should have picked up a real bow."

Anton sees Shaezon frowning down at his crossbow and then looks down at his own sling. I don't know why I didn't buy anything that might help in combat. This thing is useless. I must remember to purchase everything I need the next time I am able.

Timing - will take Weyland (with difficult terrain penalty) 370ft equivalent. Move at half speed on stealth, so about 25 rounds.
Weyland slips like a shadow towards the corner. Pepper mirrors him, moving to the other side.
Tarek slips into the vault and gets his quarterstaff.
Shae, Tarek - you staying here while they slink off? Tarek you can give me an appraise roll to try to see another ranged weapon if you like (I'll allow untrained)

Weyland, screw stealth... it ain't a ninja! Sorry, thought it was discussion thread.

Appraise 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Tarek moves back to the group. We can let them do their thing but, can that creature be reasoned with?

If we could get it to help move the statues...

[Dice=Appraise]1d20+2

Tarek moves back to the group. We can let them do their thing but, can that creature be reasoned with?

If we could get it to help move the statues...

"You could try, but I've never heard of it happening before."

Alright, let's give Anton a chance to look for a weapon, then you guys can start rolling to hit.

"I don't suppose anyone saw a decent weapon out there. I forgot to go shopping before we left. Too busy at the library."

"Could we not place the rug near the largest statue and tip it onto it and then place the other statues on it? Or place it there move the other statues and then knock the big one over?"

Sounds risky, but it may come to that... Think you can use your charms to coax that thing into helping us ?

Anton - you can give me an appraise roll to spot a ranged weapon if you like. untrained is fine.

Shae gets Anton's attention and motions to a heavy crossbow on a lower shelf.

you can read my spoiler above

Appraise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Anton looks around and then moves to pick up the crossbow mentioned by Shae. "That could work" He looks around the same area for some bolts, and then proceeds to load the weapon.

"What thing?"

Mimic... Shapeshifter-thing. Huge covering 225 square feet... Pile of gold coin.

Shae points.

I fear if our friends act first, they might ruin its disposition... If it has any. Something about mortal harm and trust and an indirect relationship.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Weyland will stealth to K7 in preparation of charging in.

Weyland - the shelves don't have a back, so you can creep through it to sixty feet (charge range) of the thing. Pepper is doing that - happy to assume you are really at K10 if you want.
Pepper stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
mimic perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
35 ft = 70ft movement. You can take some cover beneath the

Anton carefully sneaks into the room to retrieve a Heavy Crossbow and bolts, then sneaks back to Shae and starts loading.

[ooc]You guys have surprise, and initiative (more everyone is holding). Launch your ambush Weyland (roll charge attack I guess) and we're on.

"I thought you meant that... I'm not sure I have a way to 'charm' it so to speak, but I might be able to bring something to bear once we begin. I expect I'll have to fall back on this though," he says hefting the crossbow.

Anton loads the crossbow, in case he needs it for later.

When combat begins, he readies to use Gift of Madness (=Lesser Confusion) DC 15 Fortitude on the creature after Weyland's attack (so as not to activate the forced counter attack).

Confusion effect on failed save: 1d100 ⇒ 71
71=Deals 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand. If it cannot do so, it will babble incoherently.

Chaaaaarge: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17

Dagger: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
S.A.: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 7) = 8

Now hopefully Pepper sets up a flank(hint, Hint)

Sure does = held action
As Piper starts to move Pepper launches himself out of his hidey-hole, screaming imprecations.
attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
He slams into it with his huge club, and the enormous pile of coins shudders as a solid mass. A mouth the size of a large doorway opens in the side facing Pepper - just as Piper slams into it.
+2 extra from flanking means you hit!
The enormous pile writhes again.
total damage: 20
Shae, Anton - you're up

Mimic! Want to live? Help us...

Shae fires his crossbow at the moving gold pile.

Crossbow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d6 ⇒ 3

Edit: confirm crit 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

If successful damage doubles to 6

Edit2: Really? Confirm the confirm, in case that's a house rule.1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Ok, I swear i'm hand typing that formula every time. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or what.

Crit! Light crossbow is d8

Crit! Light crossbow is d8

1d8 ⇒ 4

X2 whatever it is.

28 damage. Tarek? Anton?

Let it answer! Tarek twirls his newly acquired quarterstaff slowly.

Delaying action, if it attacks... he attacks (if he can reach).

Take from my post above to cause it confusion. DC 15 Fortitude save or: (from the above roll) 71=Deals 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand. If it cannot do so, it will babble incoherently.

Note, if someone attacks it before it's turn (but after the effect goes off) it's turn will be to attack that person (a la Confuse), otherwise it will do as stated above for it's action.

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Fort or Will save?
Piper - can you give me a DC 17 Reflex save per weapon please
Melee slam: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 143d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 6, 1) + 12 = 24grapple: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21constrict: 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) + 12 = 25 . 49 damage total. Pepper is grappled and at -11.
The Mimic rears up like a wall of gold, then falls upon Pepper - who vanishes into the mass.

Ref save 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Ref save 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 aaannnndddd both my knives are now stuck. Yay

Tarek steps out and attacks with his newly acquired staff.

Attack, staff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage, staff: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Reflex, staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Start clearing the area in front of the huge statue... stay away from this thing. Anyone fighting, missile weapons... find them, the bigger the better!

31 damage. Staff is stuck.
Tarek strikes true, but the staff sticks like glue.

The enormous ogre starts to squeeze around the statues.

"Um...Guys."

Shae points as he readies his crossbow to fire again.

Up now: Weyland, Tarek, Shaezon, Anton, Piper

Shae will take another shot at the gold pile

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d8 ⇒ 4

Free action to get daggers from a wrist sheaths

Full attack to stab,
Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18 hit?
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
SA: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
SA: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Ref Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Shae's crossbow bolt ricochets off the mimic - but Piper's daggers hit home and are wrenched free, leaving gaping wounds.
lucky Tarek threatens bare-handed! 49 damage. Anton and Tarek are up.

Tarek taunts the creature, maintaining a defensive posture. He tries to draw its aggression.

It's Fortitude rather than will. Although it's like the Confuse spell (which is a will save), it seems the power requires a Fort

Anton takes aim with his loaded crossbow and fires it at the mimic.

Attack into melee: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 4 = 14
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Anton misses the creature - and Tarek succeeds in provoking it.
Rearing up the crushed figure of Pepper can be seen underneath, in between massive teeth - though whether he is alive or dead is difficult to say. His mangled body is spit out as the creature targets Tarek.
Happy to give Tarek some defensive bonuses for his posture... but not sure it is going to make a difference
