Masks of the Living Neb (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 damage

Bria attacks him again.

You are just full of hot air.

Liz pants and puffs, trying to down this noisy false priest.
S.Sword #1Flank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Sneak attack: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Between the two women, the priest is bright down in blood and flurry.

A buzz can be sensed in the air after the Razmirians cry for alarm.

We need to send a signal to our friend that they should strike now! Liz pulls out an alchemist's fire.

Let us set fire to a tree and then run up to the high priest's room! Garuneh, Is your magic wand of healing still functioning?

"Oh how I wish I had my image spell remaining!"

Aldous fumbles in his pockets, finding no oil or alchemists fire.

"Let us go, speed is of the essence now."

Agreed!

Liz tosses the alchemist's fire at something flammable like a tree so their friend will be alerted and rushes back in with the others.

Bria nods, then follows apace.

Elizabeth randomly throws an alchemist's fire at a random bush and it randomly explodes into flames.

The group then rushes up the staircase. As they make it up halfway, they are called out.

"Halt and unmask yourselves!"

Flanking the stairway is a pair of grey robed priests with crossbows leveled at the party.

Can I Flex to heal folks?

Liz pulls her last vial of alchemist fire and chuck it at a guard (P5 if that is one.

Roll'em Garuneh

I count 17 hp damage to Bria and 19 to Liz.

Flexxxx

Prior to the fight, Garuneh uses more charges of the wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Healed 13 hp for Bria and full for Liz.

You sure about Liz? I think I only took 3damage in the fight against the door guards.

Liz is correct. So Garuneh used 3 less charges and everybody is a full hps.

Round 1
As Elizabeth starts to make an aggressive action, the two priests fire their readied crossbows at Elizabeth and Bria.

P5 crossbow vs Liz's FF AC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (1) = 7
P6 crossbow vs Bria's FF AC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + (3) = 10

After the two priests fire thier bolts, each one yanks on a nearby rope. The sound of a loud bell ringing chimes throughout the temple.

Elizabeth returns fire by pulling out an alchemist's fire and tossing at P5.

Liz'a Alchemist's fire vs P5 Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 111d6 ⇒ 2
1d8 ⇒ 2

Liz miscalulate's her throw due to the distance and it splashes harmlessly near the head of the stairs.

Everybody else but Liz go!

Aldous zaps the enemy on the left.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6 13 charges remain

Bria charges, then gets all whacky with P6

1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage

Sorry, I was Russian on the points there.

Garuneh heads up to AF8 and casts Flare at P5.

Can't charge around corners Bria.
Aldous maintains light artillery status as the magic missiles pound P6.

Bria double moves up the stairs and then around the banister. She settles next to P6 with a crazed look her eye.

Garuneh releases a bright light in front of the masked face of P5.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

He tries to shield his eyes, but is too late crying out in pain.

Round 2

Both priests draw and ready their shield and rapier. P5 stumbles forward 5' toward Garuneh.

All Heroes May Go

Grey area are stairs and double movement. Blue-grern is empty space between second and first floor.

More zapping! (On P6)

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7 12 charges remain

Liz moves to AF-8, ready to engage the other guard.

Garuneh taps Liz for Guidance and draws his club.

Aldous stands at the ready, popping off more shots at P6.

Liz and Garundeh secure the head of the stairs.

Bria tries to get wacky on the priest in front of her, but her blows are defected by the man's shield. Used roll from above

Round 3

P6 let's out with a duel attack of rapier and shield against Bria.

P6 rapier vs Bria AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
P6 shield bash vs Bria AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

P5 stumbles toward's Liz to attack her. But the rogue is ready for him, and tries to get a quick stab in.

Liz Msw SS vs P5 AC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

The priest knocks the stab away at the last moment before returning the attack.

P5 rapier vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
P5 shield bash vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Liz is stabbed in the gut. As she bends over in pain, the priest uppercut her with his shield.

All Heroes Go

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Liz tries to be acrobatic but she fails to do her flip over the head move again, and so stabs once.

Sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Bria continues to hack and hew, but is unable to land a solid blow.

In failing to flip, the priest takes the opportunity to stab Liz one more time.

AoO rapier vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The priest and Liz trade blows, but Liz takes the worst of the two. She is now looking quiet bloodied.

Time to break the cardinal rule...

Garuneh pulls out his wand of CLW and taps Liz with it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 THANKS DICE GODS

And still moar zaps!

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6 11 charges remain

Not using CLW wand in battle? Didn't know that was a cardinal rule. And now you know . . .

Garuneh duel wields his club and wand, healing some of Elizabeth's minor wounds.

Aldous plans to pew-pew the priest to death and he's more then half way there.

Round 4

P5 shakes his arms out ready to bring the beat down to the little lady in front of him.

P5 rapier vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
P5 light shield bash vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
P5 Crit shield bash vs Liz AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

P5 hops back, then lunges forward to stab Elizabeth's chest. He then jumps and twirls like a corkscrew. With his spinning backhand, the priest cracks Elizabeth along the back of her hand with his shield.

Elizabeth crumples to the ground. Blood from her head wound begins to pour down the stairs.

P5 steps up 5' right next to Garuneh simply saying, "You're next."

P6 takes a step back into his alcove. He then pulls out a potion and drinks it.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

All Heroes May Go

I dunno, people always say don't do in-combat healing. But I sure do looove Life Oracles.

It depends on how much is being dished out and how often the nasty can hit you.

Oh hey, I noticed I could use Resiliency to get 4 temp hp. Can we adjust so I am at -6 and a little bit further from dying?

Link here

Works for me. Adjusted on the map. Now let's get it on!

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 zap!

"Oh no you didn't! You're going to pay for that!"

Garuneh swings at the priest.

Club: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
for: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

And misses.

Aldous, just barely able to see a piece of the priest fires off two more mini missiles.

Garuneh tries beat off the imposing priest, but misses.

Bria is up!

Attack the same target again

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage

That might be a critical, let's confirm.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Not confirmed.

Bria steps up to P6 and deals a fatal blow. Staggard, he still stands.

Round 5

P6 then cries out with a final stab, "For Razmir!

P6 vs Bria's AC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

After his miss, P6 falls to the ground and starts to bleed out.

P5 continues his assault on Garuneh.

P5 rapier vs Garuneh's AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
P5 shield bash vs Aldous's AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The rapier pierces the druid, while Garuneh just manages to dodge out of the deadly shield strike.

All Heroes Go

Stablization: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (19) - 5 = 14

Liz manages to stablize

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10 damage; 9 charges remain.

"This is hardly how I wanted this to go, you know. "

Bria moves towards the surviving priest, but is blocked. :(

Garuneh steps to that "Mask" square (?) to let Bria in.

Club: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And makes another ineffectual swing.

"Did I flare myself?" the druid mutters.

ATTACK, BRIA!

Two pumpkin sized rainbow balls fires from Aldous's wand striking the remaining priest.

Bria moves right behind Garuneh, grunting and ready to get another kill shot in.

Garuneh steps into the square with the large bejeweled mask.

Melee Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

A jolt of electricity sparks off the trapped mask and shocking the poor druid. The sound of a metallic bell can be heard ringing from the mask.

Electricity Dmg: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 6, 4) = 18

Garuneh nearly collapses from the attack, but still manages to stand on his feet.

The last priest tries accommodate Garuneh and knock him off his feet.

P5 rapier vs Garuneh: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The rapier's point finds Garuneh's gut, and he falls over from the stab wound. Garuneh is unconscious and bleeding

Pround with what he has done, the priest takes a 5' step up to Bria and tries to bash her with his shield.

P5 light shield vs Bria AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bria's shield blocks the blow, leaving the field 2 vs 1.

Aldous & Bria are up.

Bria attacks, again.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9 damage, 8 charges remain

"This is not good!"

Ah, so THAT's what the mask is!

Nothing better then setting up the scenario that's on the cover. ;)

It appears Bria's fatigue is settling back in as she misses the priest.

Aldous second round of magic missiles, nearly as powerful as the previous set almost knock the priest down. He still stands, resilient for this blood-lust.

Garuneh stabilize roll: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 4 = 0

Confident in himself, the priest continues to try to break down the mobile wall that is Bria.

P5 rapier vs Bria AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
P5 light shield bash vs Bria AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Aldous & Bria up!

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 for1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 damage

The priest is tapped again by Aldous's missles, leaving him staggered on his feet.

Bria tries to finish him, but the priest is able to deflect the blow.

Garuneh Stablize: 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 5 = 8

Round 8

The priest tries to take a final table a Bria in the name of Razmir!

P5 rapier vs Bria: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The priests aim is true as he is able to hit the dwarf. The priest chuckles, then crumples at Bria's feet.

2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

We are still going to act in rounds. Aldous & Bria are up. Currently no enemies can be seen.

The light...the light..
