Leviathan Rises (Inactive)

Game Master Harakani

As instructed, Number 6 starts clearing a space in front of the largest statue. The enormous mass, wielded roughly, sweeps piles of treasure aside, and crushes the more fragile artefacts into the small broken pieces on the floor.

Question: What is this Number 6 thing, and whose instructions is it following?

We were sent in with henchmen, muscle.

Number #6 was an Ogre who was alter-selfed into a gillman. With the spell lapsing it is back in ogre form. Combat ability is compromised by the fact it is almost blind. It's following yelled orders. At the moment next turn it intends to start looking for a large missile weapon as tarek commanded.

A blind ogre trying to find/spot a large missile weapon... And then man it! Sweet!

didnt realize we had an ogre.

Being otherwise useless Shae will be yelling directions and orders to the Ogre. I'll spend actions doing this as needed.

"Shae! Anton! We messed up. Get out of here. Take care of the others."

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
miss...

Ref 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Ref 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Sorry Shae, I rechecked your numbers, and while I had included the -4 for shooting into melee, I hadn't included the bonus for shooting a grappled critter. You hit.

no worries. I'm a low level Mage in a room where I can't cast. I wasn't expecting to be able to do much.

Feel free to call orders as a free action. You've done 12 damage already. As for the low level, feel free to go to 3rd. If you don't want to update your (scribed) spell list without a downtime I respect that though.

Everyone backoff, 30 feet... It's time to shock the monkey! Tarek withdraws.

[ooc]Okay - I don't believe a grappled creature gets an AoO when you use a withdraw action. Tarek is 15 feet away (difficult terrain).
Instead of attacking Tarek the Mimic concentrates on finishing Pepper. Mimic is no longer grappling.
Shae's bolt has struck home.
Mimic is on 53 damage.
Piper, Shaezon, Anton are up. Then Tarek. Then Mimic. Then 6.[ooc]

If we are re-conning that Tarek isn't getting eaten then Piper definitely won't attack and will perform a withdrawal action somewhere in the j-k 567 region.

Sure - difficult terrain makes it will take more time to get there. You can back up 15 feet this round while it is busy, which oves you out of its threat range.
Just to clarify - the shelves are enormous thick stone shelves, tall enough to stand up in, and stocked with large items (like statues, trophies, taxidermied animals and furniture). These provide cover if you are in the shelves.
This OK?

Shae moves in to pull the nearest companion body out of the way.

"#6, four feet to your left strike high."

Ahh I see, then make it a straight bolt towards the shelves.

turn 2 recap
While the monster devours their companion Tarek calls out "Everyone backoff, 30 feet... It's time to shock the monkey!".
Tarek backs away while Weyland bolts for the shelf to take cover.
Taking advantage of the clear path Shae and Anton fire. Shae's bolt strikes home, Anton's just misses.
Seeing Weyland has moved the requested distance Tarek unleashes the lightning...
[/ooc]
Tarek - roll to hit AC 7 (5+2 for ranged) and 5d6 lightning damage

For brotherhood!

Attack, lob lightning: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 4, 5) = 21

Total damage: 56. Tarek, Shae, Anton and Piper are up. piper if you make a stealth roll you can get concealement. Tarek you may want to keep moving. Anton heavy crossbow needs reloading. Shae you don't need to spend an action to shout instructions. Shae, are you steering 6 to pick up a weapon, or topple the statue? The rug is not yet down.

That did only 3 damage? yes, I would move after the lob.

+lob -Piper's stab'o'doom

Appraise, find range weapon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Perception, find range weapon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Anton reloads his crossbow.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Perception ranged weapon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Appraise ranged weapon: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Tarek, using cover... makes his way there.

"Strike high." Shae yells to #6

even as he runs to the ballista to try to figure out how to get it to fire.

Shae: Strike at what?

Shae: Strike at what?

Are we not attacking the mimic?

yeah, but check the map.. 6 is 65 ft of difficult terrain from the mimic - it's not even in quad-move range

in that case I'll just direct him which way to go. I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

Just direct the NPCs to set up the rug and load the dragon statues. Weyland and Tarek will hopefully be able to keep mimic occupied without dying and give enough time to get the stupid things loaded up so we can get out of here.

"Scratch that. Just get the rug and load the statue." Shae says to #6 "Its to your right. Directing as appropriate"

Tarek keeps evading the mimic and looking until he finds an appropriate projectile or thrown weapon.

Surrounded by improvised weapons of all shapes and sizes. Thought your ranged weapon detection was for #6.

Shae, can you tell of those javelin are magical without using magic?. Tarek moves to the bottles.

"Not really.'

Summary.
Weyland: Hides
Anton: Reloads
Tarek: Moves
Shaezon: Are you shooting? Direction is a free action. At the moment it has +2 cover versus you (you can shoot high over the statues).

Crossbow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d8 ⇒ 4

Go Shae!

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Anton - I take it you'd prefer to be a light crossbow? I guess I'm okay with that.
The Mimic flows towards Tarek, but questing golden pseudopods cannot quite reach him.
the clearer line of sight allows Anton and Shaezon to both hit.
Double move (cannot quad move in difficult) for 10ft total. 66 total damage.

Six unrolls the rug, then knocks an adjacent small statue onto it.

Ahh, sorry. I had forgotten which crossbow I had, and just thought it was the same type Shae used. I'll stick with the heavy and add it to my sheet.

Hvy Xbow dmg: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Anton - in that case you spent last turn reloading, and can have done the 7 damage this turn

You guys are up.
Anton - using your crossbow from last round as this rounf.
Tarek - move action to grab a grenade, standard action to throw (assuming you are using your elemental attack to light it).
Shae - firing again?
Weyland - you're not sure if you're stealthed or it's just ignoring you. You can move at half (quarter with terrain) speed with cover to remain stealthed, or crawl (1 square per turn) without cover and remain stealthed. Can go faster at the normal penalty if you wish.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d8 ⇒ 8

Not wanting to trigger the "alarm", Tarek looks for something to start a fire with.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Guys, "fire" triggers the alarm, too... These things are useless. My kingdom for acid, alchemical lightning or a damned crossbow or bow. Shae, can you use a bow?

"I'm an elf, so yes. Better than this (the crossbow) inelegant thing. "
